Joe Rogan Experience #1398 - Lil Duval

Boom, and we're rolling. What's going on, man? How are you? Good to see you.
What's up, Mike?
Pleasure.
Pleasure.
Pleasure to meet you, man.
I enjoy your social media, man. Your Instagram is one of my favorite, for sure.
I appreciate it, man. Just doing me.
Yeah, you're doing you, but you're doing it correctly. It's a lot of fun. You're
a fun guy. Like, your shit is fun.
I just try to be genuine with it. That's all, that's because that's all I've
been on there from day one, and that's what got me this far, and it's been
working, so why not?
Yeah, man, you know, I found out about you. Well, I found out about you from
two people. One, from my friend Andrew Schultz.
Yeah, that's my nigga.
I love that dude. He speaks very highly of you, but two, because my friend
Stylebender is a UFC middleweight champion. He played your song on one of his
walkouts, one of his fights.
I didn't even know him, honestly, until it's just like a lot of stuff I really
don't be knowing. I'm out the loop of the mainstream stuff, so if I can't,
especially something like UFC, I'm still new to that.
I'm still learning it. So when he, so when, I think Andrew or Charlemagne, the
one told me, and Instagram told me too, and when I looked at it, I was like, oh
shit, this shit is big.
Like Smilebender, because this one, he did it like while Smilebender was still
bubbling. So he was one of the people that I kind of realized, oh no, this shit
going to a whole nother level.
Just by him doing that, and I appreciate him doing that too.
He's huge now. He's huge now. He's the champ now. So he did this back before he
won the title. This was, I believe, a year ago.
Shit, to me, he did win the title when he did that. Shit, I thought that was
the title. I didn't know. I don't know. I'm still new to this UFC thing.
Actually, that's what brought me into it.
Really?
That made me give a fuck about it. I was like, oh shit, let me see what this is
about.
You gotta come to one live.
I want to.
What are you doing this weekend?
You want me to tell you what it is? I didn't like to see the actual nigga
getting his ass whooped. Like, I don't want to keep seeing him get punched,
punched, punched.
While they're down, you mean?
Yeah, I guess because the environment you come from, I try to get away from
that type of shit. And so to see it, like I don't even watch videos like that,
seeing somebody get shot in the head.
And I'm just starting to get comfortable watching fights.
Hmm, I know what you're saying.
So with that, but now I want to go to a UFC fight now just because now I guess
my body done got, or my mind done got desensitized to where it don't bother me
as much.
Well, anytime you want to go, let me know. This is a big one this weekend.
Where, where?
Vegas.
Shit, I might come fuck with you.
Come on down.
Hold on, let me think. I don't want to say, I gotta think, do I got something
to do?
There's at least two titles, right?
Oh shit.
Three? Three titles?
I can't go. I'm going to Honduras. I forgot.
Oh shit. How do you forget you're going to Honduras?
I don't know. I just be doing shit. I do shit whenever I get a chance to now,
as far as traveling.
Just for fun?
Yeah, just for fun. Just for chill. That's my way of my me time, my space time
to gather my thoughts and do my thing.
So not even, not work related at all? Just enjoying yourself?
That's kind of where I'm at mentally and everything. I just, I'm kind of pre-retired
in my mind.
Really?
To prepare myself for when, when shit slow down. I think you should do that. I
think I should, well, me for 40. When you're about 40, you need to prepare for
60. I always try to prepare for later.
I'm 52. So 60 is around the corner for me.
50. I'm just realizing, because I remember when I was a kid and I used to be
like, man, man, I want to, I want to give my life to God and all that, but I
ain't going to have no fun. I'm going to wait until I get about 50.
And then here come 50 about to pull up. I'm like, shit. So now, I mean, but I
don't know. 50 is a cool, cool age. And I'm just, and I'm just start preparing
for when, when I can't take care of myself.
But what it all is, is that we know it ends. We don't know when. We don't know
if it's 100. We don't know if it's 80. We know it ends. So you hear 40 and you
go, ooh, how close, how close am I?
I know it's about time to wrap up. I done went half the century. Like, what's
the average, 100 at the most? So I'm like, I know this shit from the end pretty
soon some type of way. So let me prepare.
And then I look at, I watch old people a lot. So I pay attention to them. So I
see what they're going through. And I'm like, all right, it's my turn pretty
soon.
I had John Witherspoon in earlier in the year with his son, JD. Yeah.
Let me do it.
Here it is. Sorry. And he died shortly after. He died a couple months later.
And I've known that guy for a long time.
And I remember thinking, like, he was just here. He was, like, happy. He had
all this energy.
He was hilarious. And then a couple months later, the lights shut off.
That's life, man. That's life. That's life. That's life.
That quick, just like that. In the big scheme of things from thousands of years,
it's just like that.
But a guy like that is this, like, iconic figure, hilarious comedian.
Like, he's, it's weird that he's gone, you know?
Why?
Because it's weird when everybody leaves. It's like they're just, they're just,
it's just, they're not in this space anymore.
You know? It's just gone.
I don't see it as weird, though, because I see death is just as much as life.
It's the same thing.
Oh, it is. Yeah.
So I don't see it as weird. I mean, of course, emotionally, we're emotionally
attached to what bothers us, you know?
But at the same time, I get it.
Yeah.
That's what I think. I think that's the key to all this shit, understanding.
Once you understand, you just, you pretty much got life figured out.
You think you have life figured out? I never feel like that. I never feel like
I got life figured out.
Yeah.
You think you got it nailed?
I mean, it's stuff to learn. Like, I was just telling him stuff like this. It
just opened my mind to stuff. He was just telling me stuff.
Oh, the float tank?
But the beginning and the end is pretty much life and death.
Yeah.
It's just like any other thing in life. I mean, any other thing that's living.
There's nothing, no difference. So it's like, we just think it is because this
shit here make us arrogant.
That's true. And I also think it's a thing. It's a manage your perceptions
thing. You know, like you have to manage your perceptions, like how you view
things. Like you could freak out about things or you could just.
Everything's perception is everything. I mean, it's just how you look at it.
And it's, that's what keep you sane, understanding. Like, it's just how you
look at it and understanding there's no good or bad. And shit is what it is.
You just got to be on the right side.
Yeah. And the universe doesn't care. It just keeps marching on.
The universe, nature don't give a fuck.
Not at all.
Nothing's more powerful than nature. And once we realize that, we'll be a more
humble.
You said you saw a cat's hunt on a safari?
Yeah.
What was that like?
I got it on my phone.
Oh, shit.
You see him get one?
Uh-uh. You got to sit there for a minute. And I didn't have no weed or nothing
to sit there.
Yeah. And then, uh, where were you?
In, uh, what was that? Tanzania. Tanzania. I posted on my Instagram.
Oh, wow.
I tried to share shit like this here because where I'm from, we never seen no
shit like that.
But it was dope as fuck. It was, it was way more interesting than I thought it
was going to be.
It's like really watching, like being in the hood and watching the fight or
watching somebody get, get shot.
Oh, wow. Okay. It's got to load up.
Yeah, it got to load up. Give it a second.
Because it was an old iCloud. It's on the iCloud. Give it a second. Unless y'all
got Wi-Fi.
Yeah.
I got cricket. You know, I'm on that rich, broke lifestyle.
But, uh, but yeah, it was dope as fuck, man. Like just being out there. I take,
I took a lot of pictures and shit.
I got a, like an Instagram page where I used to post, post dope pics from when
I traveled and shit.
Did they make you take, uh, um, malaria medication?
I never took nothing. No way I went.
Really?
And, and I'm glad I didn't because I heard people that do take them shots and
stuff, they get sick.
Real sick.
Yeah.
Well, thank you. And plus, I don't eat a lot. So, it ain't too much that's
gonna fuck me up.
I eat McDonald's wherever I go. McDonald's is your friend when you're out the
country.
It's, uh.
I think that's it.
Is that you?
That ain't it.
You said you took this.
You took this one?
The shot up there.
Oh, the shot right.
Did you take that one too?
Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I took that pic.
So, is this your other Instagram? The Comedic Guy?
Yeah, that's my other, other Instagram.
So, it's just photographs?
Photographs, like just, and I call it Comedic Guy because I think comedians got
the best eye, you know, because we observe, you know.
So, I mean, you should be able to take good pics if you're a comedian.
Wow, this meat market's intense. Where is this at?
That was at, uh, Zanzibar.
Whoa.
I think.
What kind of meat is all that?
Uh, shit. I don't know. Something I ain't finna eat.
I told you I only eat McDonald's, man. Like, I don't trust me. Matter of fact,
me and Andrew one time, we went to, uh, we did the hip, not the hip hop awards,
shit.
The MTV awards over in Europe. And while we was over there, the crew and
everything, and I, I traveled a lot and I'm like, they was like, man, we finna
go get something to eat.
And I'm like, I ain't eating that shit. Like, nah, come on, let's go get
something. I was like, man, you gonna fuck up. Go over there. Everybody, the
whole crew had to go to the hospital. I was the only one that didn't go.
Really?
Yeah, cause I don't eat that shit.
So they all got food poisoning.
They all got food poisoning trying to eat.
Andrew too?
I'm not sure. He said he didn't, but I swear I told him too. He said he didn't
get it, but he might've listened to me that time. But, but for the most part, I
just don't eat. When I go out to the country, I eat shit that I'm used to.
Fruit, rice, chicken, and McDonald's.
McDonald's, you ever see one of those, uh, cheeseburgers where they put it on a
shelf for a year and they film it for a year to see if it deteriorates? A year
later, it looks like it just got put there.
That's a good thing though.
Right?
Shit.
Maybe.
That's like space food. Like, that's space food. Like, if space food is good
for astronauts, it gotta be good for us. Like, we be hating on McDonald's way
too much. Like, nobody's really, really died on paper from McDonald's.
Right, they have from Jack in the Box.
They died from eating a lot. You eat anything a lot, you gon' die. Those people
eat fish and fat as fuck.
That's true. But I think someone's died from E. coli. I think that was, uh,
that was Jack in the Box though, right? They had an E. coli outbreak.
I mean, but that could be at everything. That could be at any, any restaurant,
any place. That, that shit that you just showed on there. I'm pretty sure it's
E. coli and that shit. They just, they body immune to it.
Yeah.
That's one thing I did learn too from traveling at the end of the day. You can
eat anything. You just can't eat a lot of it. You know, like, you get, when I
go over to Asia, they eat everything moving.
Do you see that there's a thing?
And they live to like a hundred.
My kids explain this to me. I didn't know about this. It's called, uh, mukbang.
What's that?
It's a style of, uh, video that they do in Korea where Korea, like, I guess
they're proper and polite when they eat. That's, you know, they have good
manners. They try to do that culturally.
So, uh, they have these videos that are real popular where they just eat like slobs.
They'll eat like an octopus and they're like, and they have, they just splatter
food all over their f
