- The Joe Rogan Experience.
- Yeah, you're into jiu-jitsu.
I remember that, I remember I ran into you at the UFC,
it was a couple of years ago,
and you were like really into jiu-jitsu,
like you trained hard.
- I was super, super into it until COVID hit.
And then when COVID hit, I just,
I got really, really nervous
'cause I have asthma and autoimmune shit, so.
I just, I got really nervous about training
so close with anybody that I took a break from it,
but I'm anxious to get back.
I can't wait to train.
- It's a good humbler.
That's a good thing to keep you balanced.
- It's the best thing I found for,
I mean, outside of meditation for me,
it's two totally different things, but.
- It's kind of different, but not.
- But yeah, you're right.
- Yeah, jiu-jitsu people are some of the calmest people
I've ever met in my life.
They're all chill. - Totally.
Totally. - Yeah.
- Especially when they get into like flow rolling.
Like that is meditative.
That is meditation.
- Sure, yeah.
- Yeah, I love it.
- I think even like hard sparring is meditative
because you're forced to think only of that thing.
And when you think about that thing only,
it acts as like a cleansing.
- Yes. - It blows all that.
And also it's so hard to do
that regular stuff seems easy.
- Yeah. - Like regular life seems easy.
- Yeah. - And some bitches on top of you
trying to collar choke you.
- Yeah. - You're like, hey.
- Yeah, yeah.
But it's also like really empowering
when you're collar choking.
- Yeah. - You're like.
- When you're mounting on someone.
- Yeah, when you're mounting on someone
and you're just, yeah, it's.
- Crazy, right?
- It's empowering for sure.
- When you, do you remember the first time
you tapped somebody out?
- I actually don't.
- That's good.
That means you probably tapped a bunch of people out.
- I've tapped out a few people in my time.
- Is that wild though?
- Yeah, what's really wild is like
when you surpass yourself.
Like you think, I don't know.
I just, I never thought that I'd get a blue belt.
Like I just never thought that I'd be a belt in anything.
I'm a singer like, and then hard work pays off.
And it's just really cool when,
when you get to prove yourself wrong.
- Well, if you get to a blue belt,
you're at purple belt.
And if you get to purple belt,
you can get to black belt.
- Totally, totally. - That's all it is.
- It's just, just keep, where are you training?
- So I was training at Unbreakable in West Hollywood.
- That's a great gym.
- I love that gym so much.
- Famous people can go there too.
It's like, for whatever reason, Snoop goes there,
Wiz Khalifa goes there, Stallone goes there.
- Yeah, so the reason why it's so chill
is they have like a no like cameras policy.
It's kind of like the Soho house of gym, as they call it.
And a lot of athletes go in
and train there too, but it's private and it's super chill.
I used to train there and then I, yeah.
Then I started training at my apartment building
that I was living in and I got a house.
So I just will train there, but.
- So do you, have you gone to like other Jiu Jitsu schools?
Like if you're on the road, have you ever done that?
- I have, yeah.
I've gone to random places throughout the country.
But I couldn't tell you the name.
And there weren't also a lot of people in there.
- Right, limited to the amount of people,
just a small amount of people that you can train with.
- Yeah, or just my trainer.
You know, it's hard for me.
Not a lot of people wanted to let me train with other people
in like a, outside of a private lesson.
- Did they worry about like you getting hurt?
- People hurting, yeah.
- They were worried about people being like.
- And then you threw the shit out of them.
- Right, or just not being able to walk on stage.
- Right, oh my God, right?
- For a month, you know?
- Somebody heel hooks you and then.
- Yeah.
- Oh, sorry everybody.
I lost my ACL.
- Right, right.
- Training.
- I have worn boots on stage too.
So I'm a very clumsy person and they just.
- You've worn boots like broken foot boots?
Is that what you mean?
- Broken foot boots, yeah.
- Really, what happened to your foot?
- So I broke my ankle in 2012, I think, or 2013.
And then I broke my foot in 2018.
And I still had to tour with a broken foot.
Yeah, I just bedazzled it.
- You bedazzled your boot?
- Yeah.
And I did it myself, like in the dressing,
in my hotel room in Ireland.
Like the cheapest, like little jewels and hot glue.
- That's hilarious.
- Yeah.
