Joe Rogan Experience #716 - Daniele Bolelli

and boom danielle bolelli my friend here we go dude uh i love it i am loving
rather i should say
your new podcast history on fire and it's just uh wonderful to hear your sultry
italian accent
waxing poetically on the path that's because uh i just never under learn to
speak english right
but you do speak it's very confusing to me because you do speak perfect english
you understand it
you're very articulate your choice of words is excellent right but it comes out
this way like
how come i can do that but you can't do that can you try to talk like you know
i i if you can believe
it i think i do half of the time i'm like what do you think what accent i'm
talking perfect english
what are you talking about i have a horrible ear for x i just don't hear it and
then don't hear it
you know when i hear my recording then i go back i'm like jesus christ i really
speak like that no way
but you know what i'm talking right now you're my own voice no perfect there's
no accent that is one
of the great things about doing a podcast that it forces you to listen to
yourself yeah yeah and you
can learn a lot about how you sound yep you know you really can you learn a lot
about little things you
do like like the word like that's that's one thing people say like way too
often a lot that's a real
problem that word like like i've tried to shorten it or to eliminate it but it
creeps its way in
like you know man like it's like this guy like it some people and the problem
is if i fixate on it
if i fixate on someone saying it like then it breaks me i had the same thing i
was talking with
some guy was really smart really brilliant i kept saying you know every four
words right and after
a while i could not follow the conversation where he was making great points
too so i was missing out
because every other sec was like you know it's like yeah it's going away it's a
tech like it's a it's a
a speech pattern it's basically a version of uh or uh yeah i've always said
that's what people do with
the word sometimes it's a it's a use of the word fuck this fucking guy with
this fucking thing with
the fucking yeah it's a filler yeah it's a filler yeah that's why i'm super
impressed with people like
sam harris that talk with no filler that you could just just that on from i don't
my brain doesn't
work like that i'm always scrambling for certain words or trying to what if i
was my vocabulary was
better maybe i would be less likely to use fillers but i don't know i think it's
like enduring
conversations sometimes you need that micro mental break to just see okay where
do i want to go with
next you know but you don't want to leave an awkward pose so you're like
throwing something out there
just go okay this is where i want to go next yeah and you also don't want
someone to like
jump in thinking you want them to talk and like you're in the middle of trying
to form the sentence
and if they do jump in then you'll totally lose it so you want to um just to
let them know yeah i'm
still here i'm still working on it thing is uh instead of just going i've had
yeah exactly and
that everybody italy is painful that way because you know normally you give uh
two seconds pause
between somebody starting and somebody beginning the next conversation there's
no pause everybody's just
they're waiting for you to not stop but slow down so that they can jump in and
then you see people
take a deep breath kind of like it's like jesus man it's like it's a full
contact sport talking to
somebody it's just well the language your language is so uh it's so poetic it's
a flowing yeah yeah yeah
beautiful language in fact it's great for you know english language is awesome
if you want to rule an empire
right it's like you tell people do this get stuff done you know it's very to
the point it's quick
it's to the point it's great italian is great for flowery oh sweetheart look at
the beautiful moon
out there kind of thing where you just waste you've said 10 000 words to really
say something that could
have been saving five but you know it's the vibe that you create that yeah
there's a lot of work but it's
flowing yeah it's like wine and poetry it's like water it's got this sort of
whereas american is just
like hey all right what's up face it's wake yeah when i was starting to write
in english it was so
damn hard for me because i was so used to this long flowy sentence that's like
there was this written right very musical and you know any sentence that i
would write like that in
english i lose half of the readers within three seconds because oh yeah too
many words get to
the point you know what are you trying to say and so it's like and i thought
english sucks there's no
poetry to it there's in reality there is you know there are ways to express
yourself beautifully
but it's different you need to definitely tone down the length of the sentences
cut it a little
shorter there are ways to do it still in a beautiful way but it's completely
different what about the
attention spans of people in italy versus the people in america because the the
italian attention span
seems to be much longer there is some of that i don't know if it's still true i
don't know if it's
a generational thing or not because i've been i got there back on vacation so i
don't have the pulse
of the situation anymore the way you used to it may be a generational thing it
was that way certainly
when i was growing up there was clearly more attention span but then again that
was before
all the 3 000 things that we used to distract ourselves all the time where it's
like somebody's
talking to you but i'm like ah let me send this email well yeah yeah that's
great good point but
you're doing something else at the same time well correct me if i'm wrong but
like a classical
italian meal like in a in a restaurant like you would sit there for hours yeah
it's not like america where
you're in and out in 40 minutes no definitely yeah yeah there's much more of
this slow pace and
tripping me out the other day um obri marcos gave me a call and within about a
minute i was thinking
and i i love obrian but the vibe for me was like okay great you know hi hi what's
up now what do you
want right and then i realized that he wasn't calling because he wanted
anything he just wanted
to say what's up and chat and i was like i forgot what it's like to be that way
it's nice i like it
you know that's a good feeling where you just we are just talking because we
like to talk to each other
it's not like hey i need something or you know yeah i'm so used to that
conversation now that everything
is for a reason it's like uh we're trying to get stuff done and uh it was so
refreshing i was feeling
this is beautiful i love it i miss it yeah that's how it should be it's nice if
you can catch someone
that's on the same vibe but when you're like hey man everything good what's
going on yeah yeah i'm uh
just getting some done what's going on what's up what's up nothing just called
to say hello
it's like okay well hi yeah bye see you later click gotta go i'm running an
empire running the
empire of mike and i mean we do we do have i don't know how it got that way but
we do have intense busy
lives so sometimes that organic relax let's hang out let's let things transpire
and play
half of the time it's like okay it's noon at one i need to be out of here this
is my fun time so it's 12 15
motherfucker i'm not having fun yet make it fun right now because i need it's
like
you can't do that you know you need to i was listening to this ted talk on the
nature of happiness
and i forget the the gentleman who was doing the speaking but he was um he uh
was he had developed
an app and in the app uh it would like hit you with reminders and ask you
questions like
what are you doing right now are you enjoying what you're doing right now is
this what you want to do
and like things along those lines and then they would gather data and well so
they they added all
their data from all the people that use the app and one of the things they
found was one of the
least conducive things to happiness one of the one of the indicators that
people are not happy
is when your mind is wandering like you're just sitting around thinking of
nothing just sitting
doing nothing and in those moments for whatever reason people just don't feel
good right
they their mind will wander to the negative things but when you're in the
moment and you're occupied in
something whether you're creating something or whether you're writing something
whatever you're
doing like those are the moments where people feel fulfilled and happy no
definitely and there's
something to be said for meditation in that regard of learning to be in the
moment when because you
know a lot of the times we can be in the moment when we're doing something but
to be in the moment when
you're not doing something just like let me take a deep breath let's be here
let's look around that's
not as easy to do as one would think yeah that's why like a class whether it's
a martial arts class
or a yoga class is really good for people because someone's telling you what to
do like okay now we're
going to work on arm bars from the mount you know like get to the mount okay
shift your hips to the
left grab the arm pin it down in going through those steps you're forced to
concentrate on that
thing and because it's so intense you're forced to be in that moment and that
for a lot of people is
a real not just the physical relief of exercise which is fantastic for the mind
but the relief of focus
and concentration alleviates a lot of the that is like that builds up when the
mind is wandering you
know time i noticed when i do get to i finally had a chance to start rolling
again the last
month or two it felt so good i was just like oh my god i forgot not only
physically as you say how good
it feels but in that moment you know if your mind wanders too much the guy's
choking you the guys are
barring you you can't wander you have to be totally present in what you're
doing and it's just such a
mental break that i thought i had all these issues when i walk into class and i
walk out i'm like huh
those problems you call those problems that's a joke come on no big deal
because suddenly you have
lightened up you got rid of this heavy load that you're carrying and there's
nothing like it you know
something that puts you in the moment but also your body puts your body your
mind everything
the gift of perspective yep yeah and some people get it from running you know i
know i know some people
they just love or like running hills especially you know because it's just so
difficult yeah and then
when when you reach the top of that hill you have a milestone you know like you
hit that milestone
you get to that hill and just whatever it is that effort of doing that which is
very intense very
difficult just and when it's over just everything else seems like relaxed big
time even weights yeah
weights feel awesome sure anything anything just do something that you have to
concentrate on you know
like if you're lifting something heavy like if you're trying to bench press or
squat or something like
that like while you're doing that that is what you're concentrating on and then
amazing though that
that that's what the mind needs sometimes just one primary singular thing to
focus on and to focus
on it intensely and it's almost cleansing in a way forces the pipes free yeah
it's kind of like when you
haven't sex for too long and then you do it and suddenly everything in your
brain switches
it's like all this that i thought i had on me all this tension all this stuff
that i thought were real
problems you just haven't had sex for too many days oh haven't had sex for a
long time yeah i thought
you were saying you've had sex for too long i was like oh no no no no no such a
thing there is no
such a thing he's doing some sessions some session work marathon yeah that
could people up man
i mean i i i to this day think that that is especially for men the primary
reason why a lo
