Joe Rogan Experience #690 - Ronda Rousey & Edmond Tarverdyan

And boom, we're live. What's up?
What's up? It sounded suddenly like pressure when you said it was live.
I was chilling here for a minute.
I should take these off. It's more casual.
You guys don't have them on. Jamie, let us know if you can't hear us.
So, Edmund and Rhonda, welcome. What's up?
Welcome to this humble abode.
I like the new place. It's been a minute.
Yeah, it's been a while.
Yeah.
The last time we did a podcast, you weren't even in the UFC yet.
No, I hadn't even fought for... I was going to fight for the Strikeforce title
the first time when I came on.
Is that really that long ago?
Yeah.
Wow, that's crazy.
Yeah, yeah, I got you the cognac.
What's the matter, Jamie?
It's good? We're good?
That's right, that's right. Armenian cognac.
That got us fucked up.
Yeah.
You guys are a very interesting combination.
Before this even got started, I have to tell everybody.
Edmund's over here. Rhonda's over here.
You're like, get over here. Get closer. Get closer.
He can't be that far from me. I don't know why.
That's crazy.
I have to be able to hit him at all times.
Is that what it is?
Yeah, I have to measure my distance with him at all times.
Well, you want to touch him. You want him right there.
You guys are very close. You have a very unusual relationship.
It wasn't always like that, though.
No?
It was very, like, Clint Eastwood, Hillary, Savannah, Million Dollar Baby
status.
I was like, who is this American chick in the gym with all the Armenian guys?
Stay away from me.
No one would talk to me at all.
Well, I love Armenians.
One of the reasons why I love Armenians is because they're unapologetically
masculine.
It's like there's very few unapologetically masculine cultures left in America.
That's true.
People are, like, apologizing for being men, and Armenians don't play that shit.
It's a fun culture.
It's very interesting.
They're unapologetically masculine, but they are not afraid to accessorize at
all.
How so?
How so?
The bracelets.
Show up, show up.
You've got gold chains.
Gold chains.
Yeah, all this.
Every, like, um...
A lot of shiny shit.
Cologne is always, like, designer...
Oh, boy.
But it's because it's designer cologne, you know?
No socks now.
That's the thing now.
They wear the shoes with no socks.
They're very fashionable.
They had to get me to actually start, like, cleaning up a little bit.
Really?
Yeah, it was the reverse.
Like, they had to, like...
They had to make me over when I first started coming.
So what was their advice?
Um...
Well, it used to be that I had this car, the Fonda was my Honda, and it had one
working window
and no air conditioning, so I would just sweat all the way home.
So I would just put on my same, like, my clothes I came in with and, like, no
shower.
I would just throw it on, still sweating, and jump in my car, because I would
just sweat
all the way home was the point.
And Edmund's first word of advice was he made me shower before I got in the car.
Even if I would sweat all the way home and have to shower again, that was, like,
you're
like, Rondarjan, I know, you know, you're a very good girl and all these things,
but...
But he didn't speak English when I...
Like, I taught him English pretty much.
Really?
He didn't speak English at all.
You speak so fluently.
I graduated high school, yeah, but...
And during the classes, like, Armenian, Armenian kids have to grow up, you know,
the parents
loved it, because they go to school, speak English, and the parents would bring
them
to the gym after, you know, school programs, and they would want their kids to
speak
Armenian so they won't forget where they're from, you know, and so...
Teaching for, like, ten years.
Every day, four to ten, I was, like, only speaking Armenian, and then I, like,
couldn't speak
well.
Like, I was, like, what's happening here?
I forgot my English or something?
Yeah.
And Rondar brought it back.
He was the one, too, after I, like, won a couple fights, he was, like, you know,
maybe
you should wear, like, get a little pretty sometime, put some makeup on, you
know, don't be a bad
thing, and, like, yeah.
Yeah, that was all, like, him trying to get me to growl you up a little bit,
because, yeah,
I was a lot grungier when I first started coming to the gym.
That's such a, you're such a fascinating contradiction in that way, because
when you clean up, you
know, you're beautiful.
You clean up, you're a ten.
But you're, you're, you don't give a fuck.
Well, you can't walk around, like, putting, like, you know, going all out all
the time,
because then you can't step it up when it's time to step it up.
Like, I want to have, like, I want to be able to have, like, my she's all that,
like, unveiling
moment whenever I feel like it.
Oh, I see.
And so some, other girls did do it the other way.
Like, they're, oh, they, they literally can't not be made up when they leave
the house.
They fucking panic.
Yeah, I don't understand that.
Like, I like my face.
You have a beautiful face.
Thank you.
You should like your face.
I don't think, like, I should spend my time, like, you know, paranoid to show
people what
my actual face looks like, you know?
That's a weird thing with women.
We've, our culture has decided that women have to have, like, unusual,
unnatural colors
over their eyes.
Your lips have to, like, everybody else can go, this is where I suck the dick.
It's all happening right here.
Look how shiny.
Don't you want to get in there?
Haven't you seen, like, those contouring videos and stuff like that?
What is that?
You have to find these contouring things where it starts with a girl with her
face plain,
and they do all this contour stuff for them, and, like, they're an entirely
different
person by the end of it.
That's so weird.
Yeah.
I saw, like, this one thing.
I don't know.
It was, like, on Instagram, so who knows if it was even true, that some guy
sued his wife
after they were married because he never saw her without makeup, and, like, she
was totally
busted without it.
That doesn't make any sense.
There was one about a Chinese guy who sued his wife because she had a gang of
plastic
surgery, and the kids came out ugly.
But I don't think that was real either.
I think, you know, in my opinion.
But I've seen that a lot.
Like, whenever, like, I see people, like, like, a good-looking couple, but they
got butt-ugly
kids, then you know.
And it's just, like, they got work done, you know?
You can't get your genetics lifted.
Yeah, it is a weird thing where, like, Koreans have, like, a real issue in
their culture where
they get their eyes.
It's so common that a lot of girls, like, there's very few natural eyes left.
It's like everyone gets their eyes done.
It's like they graduate from, they get their eyes changed.
You know, Koreans have naturally, like, a thin opening for their eye.
Well, they get their, like, eyelids, they get surgery done, and their eyes are
fucking,
hello!
It's fucking crazy, yeah, Jamie, pull it up so you guys can see it.
It's very strange.
But it's extremely common.
Like, as common as, probably more common than braces are here.
Like, look what's going on.
Men, too.
That's men!
Whoa!
Look at the girls.
She looks like an anime character.
Hello!
Look at those eyes.
Hi!
Wow!
My eyes are crazy!
See, that one, that one, look at that.
Okay, look at those two.
Well, one of them looks like she's eight.
That's not fair.
But it's a very, very, very common procedure over there.
To the point where so many of these girls...
Are those stitches in the corners of her eyes?
It looks like it, doesn't it?
Ouch!
It is.
Yeah.
Yeah, oh, that's exactly what it is.
Oh, Jesus.
Oof.
Extremely, extremely common.
Wow.
They do all sorts of other weird shit, too.
Like, they put chin implants in them.
Look at that girl.
Had her chin shaved down.
Like, okay, there's perfect.
The one on the left, that looks like Bigfoot Silva's sister.
And the one on the right is a ten.
So, like, what happened there?
Well, they shaved her down.
They, uh...
Wow.
She looks like Enoki's sister.
That's what she looks like.
Wow.
Antonio Enoki, the guy who fought Muhammad Ali.
That's what she looks like, right?
Not that it's a bad thing.
Look, they fixed it.
She's great now.
Congratulations.
I bet that girl went on a dick rampage, though, after she got that done.
She probably did.
You know?
Because before, like, everyone was, like, not really interested.
And then, bam, the girl on the right.
Holy shit.
And you're just shocked that anyone would be into you.
It was probably a swarm, you know?
But that's super common.
Wow.
It's weird.
It's weird because it's not in your DNA.
And so, like, your children are going to have to deal with the same issues.
Like, whatever weird jaw structure thing, nose structure thing that you're
going to do.
You're going to get fixed with a doctor.
Are you going to get your kids snipped, too?
You know?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I just...
I'm not, like, a big cosmetic surgery type of person, you know?
Like, that's your face and, like...
Yeah.
You should be cool with it.
I don't know.
Yeah, but what if you have, like, something goofy, you know?
Like, there was a girl I went to school with in high school.
She had a big crazy nose.
She's a nice girl, but it was, like, crazy, like, Wicked Witch of the West type
shit.
She had, like, a crazy hump.
And then she got it removed.
She got her nose fixed.
And all of a sudden, she was hot as fuck.
And everybody was like, what happened to Susan?
Like, damn, this is...
It's weird.
It's, like...
But there's plenty of people that there's nothing wrong with them.
Like, the chick from Dirty Dancing was absolutely gorgeous.
She got her nose done.
And it was, like, no one could recognize her.
She never could get a part again.
Yeah, that's weird.
Because you become famous for that look.
And then, like, the other girl who did that recently, Renee Zellweger, she did
it recently.
She's unrecognizable.
Really?
Yeah.
I see.
She's gorgeous.
She's beautiful.
I think that there's, like, a line, like, you know, if you have, like, a cleft
lip or something, like, wrong with you, you know?
Right.
Like, go for it.
But, like, if you're just self-conscious, you know, about something, and then,
you know, maybe you should just accept it, that that's how you look, you know?
I think the stars, if they're on TV all the time, you know?
Yeah.
Already people get used to that look, so they shouldn't be that worried about
it.
Well, it's...
Also, like, if you're on television, that's your currency.
Like, your currency is your appearance, you know?
And just relinquishing any aspect of that.
They think, like, the whole reason they got there is because of their looks.
Like, there's a lot of people that believe that.
Yeah, but, I mean, like, when you're a kid, when you're in high school, you're
a teenager, you're going to hate everything, pretty much, about yourself for a
while, you know?
You're like, oh, God, you know, you're suddenly super self-conscious about all
that, and if it's, like, so calm and easily accessible, people are going to end
up getting so much work done when they're kids, and they're just being, going
through that stage when, you know, you should at least wait until you're, like,
past 30, and you're like, you know, you've had a good three decades of not
being happy with how that looks, then, okay, fine, go for it.
But if you're a teenager, and you're like, oh, my God, my friend Allison has
big boobs, and I want to get implants, like, no, don't do it.
Okay, you're 18.
You'll get over it.
You'll accept that, you know, itty-bitty-titty committee is pretty cool, you
know?
You're doing something right now with this whole don't be a do-nothing bitch
thing.
Are you aware of, like, how big this movement is?
I tweeted about it the other day that I was, I don't forget where I was, but
these two girls were arguing about the merits, pros, and cons of being a do-nothing
bitch.
And it was completely, it was all after your fight, and it was completely
brought on by you.
Like, some girls were like, we
