Joe Rogan Experience #981 - Josh Barnett

As soon as we go live five seconds
Now Josh was just telling me about how he's gonna start his own cult. Yeah, and
for sure absolutely, you know
Everything else just seems like fucking work to me. So yeah starting your own
cult if you could pull it off
The key is to not take it too far. Don't get too crazy. You know, I don't know
if I have that ability though, man
Right sitting here wearing you know black metal t-shirts and you know listening
to crazy-ass music
I don't I think taking it too far is it's kind of in my nature. You still
driving the muscle car. Oh, yeah
Every day man all about muscle cars all muscle car plus in this traffic still
drives a manual
Yeah, that's gangsta six speed is that's your method of your number one method
of transportation if you're driving a man
Respect, you have a manual transmission fucking Orange County. You're still in
Orange County. No, no, no
No, I've been out of Orange County for a while. I was in downtown for a while.
And then I live in Hollywood like a vampire kind of also
Getting a lot of extra sparring in you know with hobos and knives and stuff
like that
Oh, were you in like the bad area of downtown is there well, you know what here's
the thing about the bad area of downtown
It doesn't stay in the bad area of downtown
It's so true, you know, it's it's like oh, well, this is a really nice. Oh, we
got our quaint little lofts and la dee da
It's like by the way you see that schizophrenic crackhead
He's gonna fuck your shit up, you know, it's like Hancock Park
You know where Hancock Park is Hancock Park is fucking amazing. It's like one
of the most beautiful sections of LA
But you can go two blocks down. You got gang graffiti. Yeah, like like two
blocks down
You're in some sketchy area like soon as you get out and you start going east
further like you get some fucking sketchy neighborhoods within a mile of these
Like 1920s mansions of old Hollywood money. I mean those things are incredible,
right? And to me, it's just like wow
It's the most fantastic
Tourist guide ever like hey come to LA you might get fucked or you might not
please roll the dice
Let's see how this works out. Yeah, if you want to walk through downtown LA
You could you could take a wrong turn in a walking dead episode. You could be
just strolling down seventh
Everything's looking great. You're passing a seven grand
Molo and all this stuff and then all of a sudden oh shit
Where the hell am I that guy's got a tent?
But I don't really think he's camping you people who think that they're
downtown is fucked up
You don't even know what fucked up is you need to see skid row like people who
don't see I've shown people skid row and they go
That's not real. Yeah, that's really looks it looks fake as fuck
It looks like an episode of The Walking Dead and the first time I drove through
it and there was like some
and I'm seeing all these just people just just milling about and it must have
been later in the night like not super late
but getting to probably six or seven or it's because at some point
There there's this mission or something down there and it's got this gated
courtyard
And at some point they closed that gate and there was just people inside the
courtyard and there were people outside of the courtyard
It was like clamoring to get into this thing and it was just insanity
I go fuck man. This is straight out of like some sort of Dawn of the Dead
What have you like you if you get in by a certain amount of time you're locked
in stay in there? Yeah, I guess
whatever shit
So like some people like they got to get away from the crazy people on the
street
I guess or they'll probably get someplace to sleep and eat and what-have-you,
you know
And you know it's how each other Psalms isn't it weird that we look at people
like that and we'll go. Yeah
You're you're a loser like all you people are not going to help you. Well, it's
easy to
To do that because to look at the situation on a far more
Complex level, you know looking for what all the issues that can write into
this
I mean a majority of these people are probably mental health, you know issues.
Patients. Sure. Yeah, they're
Crazy to simplify it and then they get into these, you know, let's say drugs
come into play or other things
I mean, they just they need help, right? Yeah, and there are some people there
that may maybe they are just total fucking down-and-outers that they just
Gave up on life and one way or another got hooked on something or hooked on
something else
But I mean at the end of the day
It's it's too it's it's much easier for people to just look at it as like these
guys are losers as losers of the system
And we're I'm some sort of a winner
But I mean they in a way some of these people were born losers then I guess
because they didn't get to choose to be born with
Schizophrenia or any of these other sort of things. Yeah abusive childhoods
There's a whole host of factors that plays into someone being like that
But it's weird how we get to someone gets to a certain age like you're 35 and
you're homeless for a sorry
Dude can't help you feel like 10 if you're 10 on the street
You're homeless for like oh, come on buddy. You're a little scamp. I'm gonna
help this little guy. You're a little scamp
Yeah, he was just whose his parents left him and he didn't have any food
He's got a really cute newsboy cap. He just seems so scrappy. You know, I think
I'd like to make him my sidekick
And we're gonna travel around the world. He travels with him everywhere. He's
got a bag on the end of a stick
Yeah, yeah, look at that bindle man. He's been places. That was the move that
they had. Here's this is real
We're looking at video right now on YouTube. What's the name of this video?
Pulled up like Skid Row it says homeless on Skid Row in Los Angeles all in caps
and it's fucking crazy
It's a a whole series of homemade tents that these people put together
They've created these like little apartments little structures and they're on
the street and there's I mean this is a pretty good
Video of it just it shows you how weird it is, but it's way crazier at night
Well, it's even this just shows you we're just looking down one street. Yeah,
we're only looking at like a few structures
It's like a little square radius of streets that encapsulate this this this
area and
You know, I mean some people are like well. Oh, yeah, it's not really that
dangerous and like well
I guess it really depends on the person I personally I wouldn't stroll around
down there
I feel like I'll be all right, but why increase my likelihood? Yeah, I'm having
some sort of issue especially if somebody is
Literally crazy it's it's really not a matter of whether they're a jerk or that
whatever. It's just they're operating in
Unstable irrational way. So there's no way to
To negotiate that very no way negotiated no way to even know if it's gonna
happen right and when someone's completely bonkers this some guy doing it on
his bike
Well, that dude's got skills. He's got some bike skills. He's got pegs on the
front of his bike
Yeah, he does see
What is a he should oh the bunny pegs in the front?
So maybe he could have you could pick up a guy I grabbed one homeless dude see
them on the front
That's is that not impressive that handlebar thing. He just did that shit's
incredible
It's just it's not incredible. No, I can't do it, but but is that like a
standard move Josh Barnett?
You know, I do know how to ride a bicycle probably not to the level of this guy
He's doing that flipping the bar around that's fucking that's pretty wild. It's
uh, it's like having a fidget spinner
Except if you fuck it up. You're falling down. You're just eating shit and
losing teeth
Yeah, I don't ride bikes much like that. Damn
That shit's incredible using it to camera edit - it's actually yeah sure is
Wow we
Oh, that's pretty slick
Yeah, it's a it's an interesting
Dynamic and then it's not a simple situation to solve either right, you know,
it's like some people would easily just look at like
Oh, let's get rid of them. It's like well, you can't just do that with somebody
I mean, that's not the way to do it. Is there a way to reprogram someone would
I think you?
I forget who the quote was by
Some famous dude Frederick Douglas, but he said it's it's much easier to raise
good children
And the repair broken men
I can believe that yeah, you know
we have it's it's always harder to take a fighter with a bunch of bad habits
and
Try to cure them of that or re-establish new good habits than it is to just
start off teaching them something
Correct from the from the fucking get-go
Yeah, you always see that for whatever reason with kicking technique kicking
technique like a lot of guys that come from like bad backgrounds
They have a really hard time like maybe karate to Muay Thai real hard time
transitioning over and like I would see it
Even in taekwondo guys who came from a karate background didn't
Understand the importance of raising the knee up above the hip
It's like when things got weird
They couldn't pick their knee up for certain kids
Well, and it also did I guess it would depend a lot on the style of karate. So
like one of my guys Shohei Yamamoto is a
He's a
Junior world champion in Kyokushin. He was the youngest ever to compete in the
world openweight tournament at 18 years old
And uh, and he was like a hundred and ninety pounds when he did it
180 and 18 years old just fighting holy shit, you know, like your Glover Teixeira's
and guys like that
Yeah, Kyokushin is crazy too when you watch those guys punch full blast the
body but kick to the head like not punching to the face
I don't know what where that really came about necessarily, but yeah
Yeah, you can kick him full-on in the face knee him in the face crazy things
like that
But don't don't throw a punch to the face
But what it's like his kicks are pretty awesome. It's like the next level of taekwondo
It's like taekwondo. They said you couldn't punch to the face
But you could kick above the waist and Kyokushin was like how about we kick the
legs too and elbow and elbow
Okay, okay. Yeah, you know better
Plus it said it doesn't get stopped as much even though taekwondo is supposed
to be continuous like olympic style guys clinch
Yeah, they clinch or a point gets scored and the ref will kind of well, you
know
There's always these little breaks that seem to happen. Yeah, you know
Yeah, it's it's interesting because I always feel like for little kids,
especially
What's really good about taekwondo is the same thing that's really good about
gymnastics and even like yes
Cheer body control and flexibility and yeah, there's all right answers
Right. I think taekwondo can be really great for that as well
Yeah, I think a lot of if you're going to do taekwondo or really any a lot of
these traditional martial arts
It really
Depends on that teacher that makes that makes it or breaks it. I mean you could
have like some old
Take you on like gnarly old korean dude who is going to teach you how to punch
the face and throw people and all kinds of stuff
But maybe gear your competition training towards the rule set that's allowable
But or you could just have some dude that just wants you to flip around and
scream
Your points which is the most ridiculous almost up there with like flopping and
soccer
It's like flopping and soccer's hit some new levels lately people
They know that I think it's hilarious
So some dude sent me one and the guy doesn't even get hit the other guy like
throws his hand back
It doesn't even come near him and the guy launches himself through the air
writhing on the ground
I've never seen anything like it. What is it that how how does one graduate?
To that
Position, you know here. I'm out here. I'm playing a sport at let's say the
highest level and I'm competing against
Other incredible athletes and we train our asses off and we develop all these
skill sets
And we get so good at handling a ball with our feet and not even for foot fetish
stuff
but but just to play
