- The Joe Rogan Experience.
- We should probably tell people what happened.
People who don't know, don't pay attention.
You and Burt were doing this dunk challenge.
- So we were shooting content for our live show,
which was a New Year's Eve live.
So that was like exciting.
We had done one before where we played tennis
and we had like just goofy shit that was fucking around
and we shot some sketches and stuff.
So we had this idea, we're like, we competed,
let's compete, let's do basketball
and then we'll do a dunk contest.
We'll lower the rim and raise it
and see who can dunk on the highest rim.
And that'll be part of the competition, you know?
- Oh, how dare you.
- Just as them actually dunking,
this was the video you just put out
or they were doing before that.
- Oh, that's that day, yeah, that's that day.
- How high is that one?
- That one's like eight, right?
And then--
- What's regulation?
- 10.
- Can you dunk at 10?
- No, I dunked at nine though.
So I beat Burt.
So this is like eight and a half right there.
And then the nine, this is nine right here, right?
So I beat him, he couldn't do it.
And it was over.
That's over right there.
- And then you did--
- So right there, they're all like,
oh, and Burt's like, holy shit,
'cause he couldn't do it.
And I'm like, oh, it's over.
And there's Tristan Jass, who we went with.
He's like a really talented kid.
Basketball, I won, I won, excuse me, I won.
- And then right after this, one of those guys goes,
I think you can go a little higher.
And I was like, I remember I felt the adrenaline.
You know when someone's like, you got this.
And you're like, you feel like your throat
kind of tighten up, you know?
And that was, they raised it three inches.
- That's it?
- From that, nine, three.
So, you know, just 'cause I didn't have a lot more room.
I was like, oh, that was, like, it was clean.
But I was like, I can't go that much higher.
And just on the push-off, push-off on the left foot,
my left patellar tendon snapped.
- Now, did you strain it before that?
- Not that I knew of.
I mean, eventually when I talked to the doctor about it,
he was like, this probably would've happened,
like doing something else.
- What?
- Yeah.
- Why?
- He's just like, you know, he said it was such
a strange place for the tear to take place.
He's like, it took, he, first he goes,
he goes, you know, it took a tremendous amount of force
to do what you did.
How did you do this?
I was like, a fucking dunk contest.
And he was like, what?
I was like, dunk contest?
He was like, a slam dunk contest?
And I was like, yeah, dude.
He was like, okay.
He goes, well, normally these patellar tendons snap
in like one of two places.
And like, you're snapped in a place
that it rarely happens in.
Like it's not at one of the attachment points.
It was like a quarter of the way down.
He's like, it's very strange the way it snapped.
- Hmm.
So didn't you do like deadlifts or something
the day before that?
- I did squats three days before.
- Were you sore when you went to the dunking thing?
- No, I was doing 255 sets of 12.
- Okay. So not really heavy weight.
- Not crazy weight.
And like, I mean, but not super light,
but like, you know, being able to,
I didn't have a problem with it.
And then, you know what I do remember this,
that someone reminded me of this afterwards at my office,
that I do remember they were betting
whether I could do nine feet at the office.
And some people were like, yes, no.
And I jumped in my office in like jeans and a t-shirt
and touched the ceiling there.
And I was like, that felt funny.
- Oh, something felt funny in your knee.
Here's the thing about tendons and ligaments,
especially ligaments.
When they snap, they don't hurt.
- It didn't hurt at all.
- Yeah.
- It didn't hurt at all.
- They just give out.
- It just gave out.
And I don't know if I would have felt pain
if it wasn't for landing on my arm
and snapping my humerus in half.
And that pain was so severe.
- That was so hard to watch.
- It was extraordinary pain.
- And then when Burt takes it and pulls it?
- Yeah.
- Why did he do that?
- He was like, you're all right, buddy?
I think he was, everyone was in shock.
- But should he have done that?
Is that bad to move your arm like that?
- Yeah, it's not.
- What do you do?
- You're not supposed to move it.
- You're supposed to leave it there?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I have radial nerve damage.
And that, you know, some people would argue
that it could be exacerbated by being moved,
but some people would say that, you know, it didn't.
- Ah.
- Oh, yeah.
Right there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It hurts so much, man.
- I could only imagine.
- It hurts so much.
- I could only imagine.
- And then, you know that I did something pretty crazy.
So I went to a hospital immediately, right,
from the paramedics came.
And as soon as I got to that hospital, I looked around.
I don't know where I am or anything.
I was like, I'm not staying here.
So they--
- Why?
- I just knew it was a shitty hospital.
- Where were you?
You don't wanna say?
- I don't wanna say, but I just knew.
I just knew instinctively.
And I was like, mm-mm.
- Really?
- Yeah.
And my memory's so--
You know when you have, like, intense experiences,
your memory's so sharp from it?
- Mm-hmm.
- Like, I remember so every detail of, like, a month.
Like, everything.
- Wow.
- People I met, I remember everyone's name, you know?
- Whoa.
- So I got to that emergency room.
I remember that Scott was in the bed next to me.
And then this nurse came in, we did x-rays.
And they're, you know, they put this straight brace on my leg.
They're like, you know, tendons snapped.
And then they did a horrible job wrapping this arm in, like,
a makeshift kind of splint brace, you know?
And I was like--
And then they're just pumping me through.
They're like, how much pain are you in?
I'm like, all of it.
What are you talking about?
Like, all the pain.
They're giving me drugs.
And then they're like, well, you need to have surgery, you know?
So I called my primary physician.
I was like, who should operate on me?
And he's like, dude, like, the two people I would send you to
are out of town right now.
I was like, all right.
So the emergency room doctor there is like,
I'll set you up with this person that can do surgery tomorrow.
And I was like, no, I'm not doing it here.
Really?
And I was like, I'm leaving.
And they're like, you want to leave here?
And I was like, yep.
They're like, your leg and your arm are, like,
completely not working.
And I was like, I don't care.
They're like, are you sure?
I go, yeah.
So Lindsey, who works with me, who was there filming,
I get in his car.
I mean, it was hard to--
You got a guy named Lindsey working for you?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Hey, he'll hear this.
Give it to him, man.
Give it to him.
Might want to change that name.
So he--
Is he, he, him?
No, no, no.
His pronoun, he's very he, him.
Yeah.
So that's his--
Yeah, yeah.
But he doesn't put it in his signature.
But he's a great guy.
So Lindsey helps me get in the car.
Sorry, Lindsey.
And he drives me home.
So I just go, I go home with a broken in-half arm and a leg that doesn't work.
Why didn't he take you to a better hospital?
And it didn't, it didn't occur to any of us.
I didn't go take me to the hospital, go home.
So I went home and Bert and Leigh-Anne had like helped set up this area in our
house 'cause Christina's like, you know, beside herself, like, so overwhelmed.
And they were really, really great.
And I got on the couch and I slept on the couch.
Oh, my God.
And then the next morning, Bert had hired, I was like, find me one of the
fucking like wheelchair drivers, like that takes people around.
He found a guy that for $50 picked us up in a 30-year-old van and a 50-year-old
wheelchair.
No.
Yes.
And I was like, who the fuck did you find?
He's like, I don't know.
So he, you know, I do, I tell him this, that I'm always like, you know, I'll
roll solo.
Like, I'll be like, I'll go by myself to things.
I grabbed him.
I was like, don't you fucking leave me in this family.
Don't leave me.
He was like, okay.
Oh, my God.
How old was this guy driving the car?
Dude, he was, he reeked of cigarettes.
His hair was so long that when he pushed me, like in the wheelchair, his hair
would like be on my back and my neck.
Oh, no.
But I was in so much pain that I was just like, just grinding my teeth.
He takes me to an orthopedic surgeon, like to this office.
And when I wheel into the office, that guy goes, what the fuck are you doing
here, man?
And I go, what?
He goes, you need to go to the hospital, like right now.
And I go, really?
He goes, yeah, man.
You need to go to the hospital right now.
He goes, I just saw, like with the x-rays from last night.
He goes, you, I mean, just go right, right now, immediately to the emergency
room.
I was like, okay.
He tells me, you know, this is going to be easy to fix.
The tendon's like the real work, but just go.
And it'll be, it'll suck for a bit to wait and everything, but just go.
So then I go to Cedars in LA.
And then, you know, you have to wait, and then we get into like the fast track.
And Bert, you know, is with me.
And then eventually I get into a room later that day.
And then two days later, I have surgery.
And then, and then from, I stay there another few days.
So what'd they do with you for those two days?
It was like, I mean, they were pumping me full of drugs.
They rewrapped my arm, which, so they had to take off the old wrap, the shitty
wrap.
And I was like, no, dude, and then reset it and rewrap it.
Oh, man.
Yeah, that was, that was so much pain.
And then, then they operated.
And then a couple of days later, I go to a recovery place, like a rehab
recovery place for two weeks.
So that's why, that's what, you know, you're just alone all the time, you know?
Yeah.
And it's, it's strange, you know?
And the two days of waiting was just because they needed operating room time?
Or just like, so I, that's the other thing.
I ended up getting like one of the best trauma surgeons.
So I was like in the trauma ward and, and this is like one of the most sought
after trauma surgeons.
So I'm so lucky to get them.
And I tell him that he's like, tell me, you know, what happened.
I tell him and I tell him I left that hospital.
He goes, let me tell you something.
He goes, that is crazy, but that's one of the smartest things you've ever done.
Wow.
He was like, that was really, really smart of you to do.
Imagine they butchered you.
Yeah.
He goes, you know, cause it was basically like that.
These two operations are major operations and like, I have titanium plates in
here, you know?
And like somebody, what does a scar look like?
Um, it's just like, it's pretty gnarly.
I mean, take your jackalow and see the whole thing.
Now how long ago was this?
Uh, December 1st and the surgery was December 4th.
Bro, that is a crazy scar.
So they went right through your bicep?
Yeah.
And, uh, I love that one of the guys was like, pull it up, pull it up.
That's wild, dude.
And I still have like radial nerve damage, you know?
Yeah.
Not damage, excuse me, bruising.
So it's gonna take like, they said up to 16, 18 months.
Like month by month, it gets a little better.
Like I couldn't pull my wrist up like this before.
If I raised my hand, it would just go like that.
When did this, when it become better?
Like a month ago.
Wow.
And I can grip things, but I can't use my extenders.
Like my hand doesn't open all the way.
So when you, do you have to like do it?
Yeah, or like I just have to place it.
But when you place it, can you grab things?
Yeah, I can grab things.
Can you do a chin up?
No, definitely not.
Wow.
Yeah.
Cause I'm, I'm, I'm lifting weights like four or five days a week, but it's all
light.
And it has to, it has to like, I just got permission to do for, for like months.
It was 15 pounds.
He was like, you can only lift 15 pounds in this arm.
And then he gave me permission to go up.
So I did 20.
And if I did rows, I can do like 25, 30, but it's the all, everything here atrophied,
you know, like doubt the whole, the whole rotator cuff area soup, much, much
weaker.
It's, it's weird.
Like you're like, that's not heavy, but then it feels heavy, you know?
Oh, wow.
You know?
And same thing with like your leg.
Like I can do seated squats, holding weight here, but I can't like put, you
know, weight on my back.
Right.
Like, but, but you know, you do it like little by little and you see the little
changes.
Yeah.
I've been through a gang of surgeries.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I've had both of my knees reconstructed.
Oh, so you, yeah.
But like when this thing was in a straight brace for six weeks, when that thing
came off, I mean,
you look at my quad, it was just like gone.
It's weird, right?
I was like, whoa.
And you put it next to the other one and you're like, oh my God.
It's weird how quick it happens.
Yeah.
It happens real fast.
You know, the whole thing is that the experience becomes like so intense.
And I don't think like I can communicate it to people fully who, who haven't
either experienced
it or the only people who like totally get it, like the intensity of the
experience and how
it affects you are the PTs.
Because they've seen it.
They work with, you know, orthopedic injuries every day.
Like they know that it affects you like physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Nobody prepares you for that.
Yeah.
So you have a full year and a half really before your left.
I mean, they told me that, you know, they're like that leg, they go, consider
that a year,
like a year before it's a, what you were used to before the arm.
It's like they go, they've seen the nerve stuff.
Cause your, your nerve regenerates at one millimeter a day.
So I don't have a damn, I don't have like a, like a cut nerve, but they're like
one millimeter
a day is, you know, it's really, really small.
Yeah.
So they're like, yeah, we've seen people recover in four months from their
radial
nerve stuff and then we've seen people that take like 18 months.
So they go, it's just up in the air.
Now, did you look into peptides or anything else?
Yeah.
Has any of that stuff helped you?
I mean, I've taken them and I, I feel better.
I feel good, you know, and I'm like, you know, I'm eating really clean.
I'm, I, you look good.
I was saying when I, as soon as I saw you, like you look thin.
Yeah.
Oh, thanks man.
Your face looks healthy.
Yeah.
I feel, I feel good.
And, um, you know, the truth is I don't know what effect the peptides have.
I take them.
Right.
And, um, I, I religiously, like I follow that schedule, but to me, it all feels
like
part of kind of the ritual of rehab.
So like, it's like, it's part, it's my, it's dieting, it's exercise, peptide,
like all
that is part of the recovery.
And are you doing the rehab through a physical therapist?
Yeah, yeah.
I got a great one.
How many days a week are you doing?
We were at three days a week.
Then we went down to two.
Um, and then like, now I don't really need, I don't need rehab anymore on my
leg.
I mean, I need to work out and get it stronger, which I do, but I don't need
her to, to rehab
it.
Dr. Karen Joubert, she's awesome.
Um, but she's been doing some of my, uh, like shoulder arm stuff, uh, working
on this.
But the, the leg is pretty much like, just get it stronger now.
Yeah.
You just look normal when you're walking around.
You don't have a limp at all.
Yeah.
Which was surprising.
I was like, I wonder if I was going to walk.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Isn't that crazy?
Yeah.
Yeah.

Don't leave me.
He was like, okay.
Oh, my God.
How old was this guy driving the car?
Dude, he was, he reeked of cigarettes.
His hair was so long that when he pushed me, like in the wheelchair, his hair
would like be on my back and my neck.
Oh, no.
But I was in so much pain that I was just like, just grinding my teeth.
He takes me to an orthopedic surgeon, like to this office.
And when I wheel into the office, that guy goes, what the fuck are you doing
here, man?
And I go, what?
He goes, you need to go to the hospital, like right now.
And I go, really?
He goes, yeah, man.
You need to go to the hospital right now.
He goes, I just saw, like with the x-rays from last night.
He goes, you, I mean, just go right, right now, immediately to the emergency
room.
I was like, okay.
He tells me, you know, this is going to be easy to fix.
The tendon's like the real work, but just go.
And it'll be, it'll suck for a bit to wait and everything, but just go.
So then I go to Cedars in LA.
And then, you know, you have to wait, and then we get into like the fast track.
And Bert, you know, is with me.
And then eventually I get into a room later that day.
And then two days later, I have surgery.
And then, and then from, I stay there another few days.
So what'd they do with you for those two days?
It was like, I mean, they were pumping me full of drugs.
They rewrapped my arm, which, so they had to take off the old wrap, the shitty
wrap.
And I was like, no, dude, and then reset it and rewrap it.
Oh, man.
Yeah, that was, that was so much pain.
And then, then they operated.
And then a couple of days later, I go to a recovery place, like a rehab
recovery place for two weeks.
So that's why, that's what, you know, you're just alone all the time, you know?
Yeah.
And it's, it's strange, you know?
And the two days of waiting was just because they needed operating room time?
Or just like, so I, that's the other thing.
I ended up getting like one of the best trauma surgeons.
So I was like in the trauma ward and, and this is like one of the most sought
after trauma surgeons.
So I'm so lucky to get them.
And I tell him that he's like, tell me, you know, what happened.
I tell him and I tell him I left that hospital.
He goes, let me tell you something.
He goes, that is crazy, but that's one of the smartest things you've ever done.
Wow.
He was like, that was really, really smart of you to do.
Imagine they butchered you.
Yeah.
He goes, you know, cause it was basically like that.
These two operations are major operations and like, I have titanium plates in
here, you know?
And like somebody, what does a scar look like?
Um, it's just like, it's pretty gnarly.
I mean, take your jackalow and see the whole thing.
Now how long ago was this?
Uh, December 1st and the surgery was December 4th.
Bro, that is a crazy scar.
So they went right through your bicep?
Yeah.
And, uh, I love that one of the guys was like, pull it up, pull it up.
That's wild, dude.
And I still have like radial nerve damage, you know?
Yeah.
Not damage, excuse me, bruising.
So it's gonna take like, they said up to 16, 18 months.
Like month by month, it gets a little better.
Like I couldn't pull my wrist up like this before.
If I raised my hand, it would just go like that.
When did this, when it become better?
Like a month ago.
Wow.
And I can grip things, but I can't use my extenders.
Like my hand doesn't open all the way.
So when you, do you have to like do it?
Yeah, or like I just have to place it.
But when you place it, can you grab things?
Yeah, I can grab things.
Can you do a chin up?
No, definitely not.
Wow.
Yeah.
Cause I'm, I'm, I'm lifting weights like four or five days a week, but it's all
light.
And it has to, it has to like, I just got permission to do for, for like months.
It was 15 pounds.
He was like, you can only lift 15 pounds in this arm.
And then he gave me permission to go up.
So I did 20.
And if I did rows, I can do like 25, 30, but it's the all, everything here
