Joe Rogan Experience #1374 - Justin Wren

and we're live hello justin wren hello what's going on buddy got a book in
front of you i do
i just got a couple notes look how organized you are with your tabs yeah i've
never had tabs in my
life yeah this is actually from james clear have you heard of him atomic habits
new york times
best-selling author i didn't plan on talking about him at all but uh what the
the notebook is
yeah oh so you bought one of his notebooks yeah it's uh goes along with his new
york times
best-selling book called clear where you put down your daily habits and then
you just kind of can
check them off as you do them what's your daily what's your daily habits well i
have a morning
routine where i wake up and um where i'm at i have a peloton so i jump on that
for like 30 minutes
right in the morning right when i get out of bed right when you get out of bed
well right when i
get out of bed i do 15 minutes of breathing just breathing yeah but i do like
five minutes i do
that too there you go yeah drifting away i kind of drift away for what kind of
what kind of breathing
you're doing so just kind of focused where i breathe in six to eight seconds
and kind of count
the in breath then count the hold and then count the exhale so it's a
meditation and you do that for
15 minutes 15 minutes three short ones back to back to back they're through
headspace and i actually
just got a new phone i don't have the new headspace um downloaded but i have
three five minute
breathing techniques that are really three to five minutes each so sometimes it's
only like nine
minutes and what do you get out of that uh for me i think i'm just kind of
setting the tone for the
day um and just kind of clearing my mind instead of first thing i used to be
bad about this first
thing waking up i'd grab my phone everybody does that and then it would be
emails text messages
notifications yeah um and then you're starting your day reactive instead of
proactive oh i like what
you're saying justin i like this thinking yeah wake up do that i i get on the
peloton right after
that i try to drink a liter of water um now you got me on this layered superfood
it's a great oh my
gosh great thing to get going with it is so good yeah his his coffee
particularly his turmeric i
love it yes that's what this is this is my first time having that it's always
out so good for you

know him before the show
so he said i'm going to walk across the the entire country for the pygmies
right wow yeah and uh which
was wild um he had already done something year the year before for the paradise
fires he's a
professional drummer um actually you got to meet him uh right one before we
walked out there yeah
yep he's one of the cowboy hat the stetson he's the second guy that i know that
walked across
america this year mike posner is the other one we've been talking about coming
on mike mike and
i have been going back and forth he got bit by a fucking rattlesnake jeremy has
some wild stories
he actually just started this uh adventure coffee brand um his his his drum
company is called beats
from the core like beats from the drum corps and then he had beats for a cause
and so last year he
did it for the paradise fires this year he did it for fight for the forgotten i
can't believe how many
people i know that have coffee companies matt brown immortal coffee leary hamilton
coffee uh tate
fletcher and keith jardine caveman coffee uh black rifle coffee all those guys
i love the black rifle
coffee guys their their stuff is the shit shit well shop's through black rifle
yeah yeah he just got
a you know well we just had our team loaded up actually the documentary team
that i know kind of
through you because they do a lot of your netflix specials they do all my
specials all of them yeah
and they've done everything since they're the best they've done everything
since 2009 everything that
i've done positive image my boy anthony giordano who's a director of the ufc he's
the best yeah he's
awesome i've gotten to meet him a time or two and then brady i've gotten to
spend a lot of time with
he's the vice president and uh he's come to uganda with me um he's gone to vegas
and colorado and
Oklahoma and Texas and hey how are you physically because you were you were
saying that you had some
crazy parasite yes um i have a lot of stuff that's still being tested um so uh
that's actually
well first reason i came i'll share a little bit of my last week for you went
up to uh redding my
first time up to northern california is beautiful gorgeous gorgeous the river
right there so green
yes absolutely i didn't even know that um and all the fly fishing oh yeah yeah
um i've never
gotten the hang of fly fishing but i love it looks like it's so uh yeah it's
not hard you could get
it in a couple minutes you're a smart dude yeah i mean you're an athlete you'd
figure it out quick
well jeremy literally walked from the brooklyn bridge all the way to redding
the sundown bridge
it was 3100 miles does he know about flights uh i think he's like five hours
his story is actually
really unique you'd like it uh he grew up with uh uh uh well he was put in like
special education
classes um because he had tourettes really really bad trends to where he had
these ticks where he'd
slap his foot um what cause is that i have no idea but he had these ticks and
the stutter
well through this walk and through drumming he thinks he started to rewire the
neural pathways in his
brain because he didn't do the walk no the walk and the drumming so he just did
the walk yeah he
just did it but he finished the walk and he said whenever he was playing
stadiums drumming right
like that's the that's the pinnacle of being a professional drummer sure
playing stadiums with
tens of thousands of people so he's back there drumming and it's before his
first time he's ever
come out and drum that way well he's drumming and instead of him being in the
moment thinking about
wow i'm at the pinnacle of my sport or not sport but of my art he's literally
thinking about how he
wishes there'd be a day that he could grab the microphone and just state one
clear sentence where
there wasn't a stutter so he's literally back there he's arrived or at least
what a lot of people would
say is his arrival first stadium tour and then all of a sudden he's thinking
about just having a clear
sentence um in a conversation with people there was something that i just read
really recently
about a new treatment for tourette's jeremy would tell you that it was drumming
that really helped
him because he went from redding to up to seattle he was in the grunge scene
and then i think his name
is steve smith or sean smith maybe steve smith that started the seattle drum
school of music the
really prestigious school they would send kids off to uh like berkeley school
of music and then they
would graduate from berkeley and they'd come back and they'd hire them as their
instructors well steve
smith saw jeremy and said hey i want you to be an instructor at my school and jeremy
kind of laughed i
can't read music i didn't graduate high school how would i ever be a drum
teacher at the seattle drum
school of music he's like well i'm the owner i'll coach you for two years and
then you'll be a drum
teacher lo and behold two years later he's literally a drum teacher there for
10 full years what kind
of a person has that much commitment to somebody that they say i want to coach
you for two years
before i give you a job yeah wild right became his mentor that's pretty so
loving him so he was able
to start having fluid conversations then he did the paradise fires fundraiser
then he walked all the
way across america he fell off a 40-foot cliff got surrounded by coyotes out
there uh he was in
oklahoma and he came through our offices and then he ended up in the middle of
nowhere oklahoma in the
panhandle and these cops came by and said hey who are you because he set up his
tent and 90 of
people that do this walk they fell within the first 400 miles yeah that's a
long way to walk oh yeah
yeah and you still got 3 000 and then the people that do complete it kind of
like mike right they have
an assistance vehicle the whole way where they're sleeping there they're being
fed or they're there they
have some comforts and he didn't uh he just backpacked it so you're saying mike's
a pussy
i'm not saying that about mike sounds that's what i heard james you hear that i
heard that too i just
said mike has an assistance vehicle he had an assistance vehicle i think he had
a camper right i guess he
needed it when he got bit you know and so jeremy didn't he fell off that cliff
uh he was he had a
mountain lion that that uh i guess purred or whatever sniffed at his tent oh
right when he came
out he had footprints all around it so he documented everything jesus pretty
wild about coyotes huh
yeah surrounded by coyotes oh and a prison break happened oh jesus uh while he
was out there he looks
like a prisoner looks like a guy i would scoop up if there was a prison break i'd
be like this
fucking guy well he told him well don't worry about it you know if you hear sirens
it's probably the
tornadoes because the the the bad weather coming in oh great tornadoes when you're
a tornado siren he
thought went off but it's actually the prison break siren um first time they
had those in like 20 years
but it was the night he was right outside the prison so he's got some stories
man and then for me i
came out here i completed the walk with him i did the last like day with him so
20 miles and i was
sore for a week after just walking up and down these hills really i'm not a
week three or four days
you're in really good shape i'm in good shape but but stop stop all this guy
about this guy i want
to hear about your parasites oh yeah yeah so what's going on well there's still
more testing but they
did find something called schistosomiasis in me so schisto um is from the
tropical rainforests of
africa um i think that's the only place that exists but it comes from these snails
and so because i
probably bathed not because i probably i have bathed in the rivers there um
been in the rivers going
across you get it in your mouth no uh they can get into your skin i was real
itchy for a couple weeks
there and what that was was some of the like parasites i guess um what'd you
call it they're
they're like egg sacs or something that got on me yeah got inside of my stomach
my liver oh jesus
could be potentially even in my brain in your brain potentially so so they don't
know yet well they
uh what's today today's wednesday right yeah one day i did my final exams and
uh i did three full
days with his doctor dr daniel amon he would be phenomenal for the show by the
way he's incredible
two two ted talks millions of views you keep you're such a great promoter of
your friends yeah
you divert and you want to talk about them i want to talk about you okay let's
talk about me what's
going on with your brain i saw him because i i kept getting jerked around by
all these different
doctors it's this it's this it's this it's this right and i've had numerous endoscopies
to go
look in my stomach because why am i throwing up and um one says it is an ulcer
another comes out and
says your stomach's perfect inside it's a little red but like there's no ulcer
whatsoever um and so
i have schisto i've had an intestinal bacteria that's really bad called shigella
i've had malaria
three times i've had dengue fever so dengue was in me for at least a month the
cdc found it in me
you've had this parasite and you for a l
