Best of Eddie Bravo - Joe Rogan Experience - Volume 1

the Joe Rogan experience but one of the things that you've realized and I've
realized over the
course of our friendship I mean Eddie's been my best friend since I think 2000
we started hanging
out in 2000 it comes back to the story of the twister because this is how we
became good
friends um I was uh getting uh private lessons when I first started doing jiu-jitsu
I was a
blue belt under this dude I won't say his name he's a very nice guy but it's an
I'm gonna say
something negative and I was because I was getting uh private lessons from him
all the time he was
the only guy that I was rolling with and I wasn't really learning nearly as
much as I thought I
thought like if you're kickboxing like you say if you get a chance to work out
with Rob Kamen it's
way better to work out with Rob Kamen one-on-one than it is to go to a private
class like he's
gonna correct all your technique so I thought that would be the case with jiu-jitsu
like I would get
really good going to class and I liked that and Eddie was the first person to
tell me and uh Eddie
came to uh one of the private lessons that I was having with Silvio and we
rolled around a little
bit and right away he got me in a twister and I had no idea what the fuck he's
doing all of a
sudden he hooks my knee with his left leg and his left foot goes under his
right knee and he rolls
forward under his left shoulder and I'm spinning around like a top and next
thing you know he's
got my arm wrapped around his neck and he's fucking pulling on my neck like
this I was like what the
fuck did you just do like I had been doing jiu-jitsu for two years and I had no
idea what the fuck you
just did to me and I was like god damn and you're like I'll teach all this shit
I was like dude teach me
this shit and that's how we became friends and that's also how I started
smoking pot you know I
was on the Marc Maron podcast the other day and this came up um you know I I
thought that marijuana
and all that stuff was for losers I thought that it just made you a loser you're
just going to become
unmotivated you're not going to get anything done you're going to be a dummy
and just sit and watch TV
that's not what I wanted man I wanted to make sure we're like our friend bud we
have a good friend bud
who's like super fucking go-getter you know bud is a great guy he he's the one
who put together the TV
show to build that car that Barracuda and he's also the one who did my garage
like an MMA garage he's
always got like a bunch of different TV shows going on and he's a fucking go-getter
and you and I are
always like dude please just let us get you high how many times more than
anybody more than Dr. Drew
more than anybody how many times we've been having this conversation with him
and he's always like
after I make my first million then he makes his first million like I'm still I'm
not I'm not I don't
want to slow down now like he just does not want to slow down and we're like it
ain't about slowing
down man it's not about I'm not slowing down I haven't slowed down at all I
work more now than
I ever did before I'm here man I'm a busy motherfucker that's it isn't that an
annoying goddamn stereotype
that potheads are lazy we get a lot of shit done dude I'm doing two podcasts a
week I'm writing a
book I'm writing my stand-up comedy I'm performing stand-up comedy and I'm
doing stand-up I'm doing
the commentary for the number one mixed martial arts organization in the
fucking world and I'm
training jujitsu and I'm doing kettlebells and I'm raising kids and I play pool
every night and I got
to surf the internet and I got a beat off there's a lot of shit going on man
there's a lot of goddamn
time I'm not lazy at all I squeeze it all out of every day so when people say
that potheads you know that it makes
you lazy it's just a stereotype man and that was a stereotype that I thought
before I met you man
I do sleep to about 10:45 every day what time you go to bed what time you go to
bed two or three
yeah that's like eight hours that's what you're supposed to get man most of
these people are in
bed at 10 o'clock at night that's why when they get up at 6 o'clock in the
morning they're all
impressed with themselves like yeah bitch I slept till 1:30 in the afternoon
but where were you at
5 a.m. I was writing the greatest bit I've ever written in my life okay that's
why I write my best
shit I was in the fucking isolation tank traveling through the universe all
right that's what I was
doing while you were sleeping so don't give me a hard time because my time is
different than your
time like somehow or another you know you you're fucking doing yoga at 5 a.m.
so you're the king
fuck you stupid and it's all based on farmers anyway it is based on you're
right it's based on
farmers you don't have to fucking get up early that's nonsense sleep the crazy
thing is that Joe
and I before we started smoking weed we were totally against it we were bag on
stoners and we
thought it made you stupid and I would talk so much shit on stoners and at 28
that's when I found out
the truth that's when I reap the benefits of marijuana and then when I met Joe
he was so funny I thought
this guy's gotta smoke pot he's so funny like I'd go see him you know do stand-up
at the comedy
store and I'm like that's that dude who trains at Jean-Jacques Machado's he
trains at my school hey
what's up dude I train at your school and I was like watch him do comedy I
thought he was great he's
gotta smoke yeah Eddie and I had a bunch of fortuitous meetings just out of the
out of the
blue before we became friends at one time Eddie's eyes aren't so good and one
time we were at a at
Mel's diner and it was late at night man it was like one o'clock in the morning
and I'm like yo Eddie
Eddie yo Eddie he's like man who's this motherfucker talking to me man I might
have to fight this dude
in front of my chick oh that's you remember that oh my god you remember that
yeah you thought I was
like some dude who's just fucking with you I had it throws down I'm like I
thought you were you were
because I was with the chick and I thought you were saying something to the
chick yeah you didn't hear what I
saying and you can't see that good so you couldn't see me from a distance so by
the time I came up to
your table who's this motherfucker and then you're oh hey dude I didn't watch
news radio and at that
point it was before Fear Factor so I never watched news radio and so I was like
okay I hear he's an
actor or something like I barely remembered but then when I saw you at the
comedy that was by luck too
you didn't come there with me you just came yeah I was just I wouldn't even
friend I would go see come
because right when I started smoking weed I I began to appreciate comedy way
more because I
it's way better all of a sudden my my mind figured out how to write comedy
right when I started smoking
weed I never understood I was fascinated with comedy but I never understood how
they put bits together I
didn't understand the setup I didn't understand the structure of comedy but as
soon as I start smoking
weed I'm like I know where they're doing I know what they're doing now they're
doing this and they're taking
that and then doing so I understood the basic formula so I just became
fascinated and then I saw you I'm
like that's that dude from my jiu-jitsu school he's an actor and you killed me
you were just you were
all nothing but dick jokes and like relationship jokes chick jokes dating joke
but you were killing
it and then when you came you walked off stage I'm like hey dude what's up dude
I know you fucking
were awesome and then we then that's when he invited me to give him a private
or something that's what I
met you at when I was taking privates with that dude yeah and then you came
down to class and then and
then the the pot smoking began that was it you ever see people that in
relationships to get mad at
everything all day girls nitpicking guys and the guy fucking fires back and you
go well you guys are
not handling this so well and you guys are handling this kind of silly you don't
have to do this you
know that's that's hard it's hard to watch man especially when people have kids
dude that's when it gets
hard dude that's when it gets hard I got a friend I got a friend that's got a
kid and him and his wife
they um they they they you seem what they seem like they don't like each other
they seem like
they're they're both upset at each other do I know him yeah I know what you're
talking about it's
unfortunate you know it's like god damn you guys get this beautiful situation
here you should love
each other come on get it together you know what neither one of them smoke weed
that might be a part of the
problem right I think everybody needs a little weed man a little perspective
just a little perspective
enhancer you know don't you think when you smoke don't you like smoking weed
with your girl doesn't
that is that a nice thing yeah it's the best thing right it's like you you like
you chill together you
know you hang out together it feels better when you kiss each other you know it's
like a super
sensitivity drug you know makes you super sensitive maybe makes you really
really like that person you
know all their good qualities get accentuated you really appreciate them almost
like you see them
with new eyes or you can get really paranoid you know or you freak the out all
the guys you could call
the ambulance I was watching I just hear hear phantom buzzes for guys texting
her on her phone oh man
I've had some serious uh anxiety attacks though I was watching cops last night

10 like last time in high school I didn't smoke weed like I said once a year at
a party or something
and I would always get paranoid wasn't into it at all I did not like smoking
weed at all growing up
in 11th grade at lunch there was a big stoner crowd there's probably like a
hundred people
in the stoner crowd and everyone thought I was a stoner because I hung out in
the stoner crowd
but if you look closely I was like on the edge I wasn't really in with those
guys yeah I wasn't
really it appeared I was but I actually wasn't hanging out with them it was
just me and three
other guys on the side and one day I did I got pulled into the crowd and they're
passing around
a joint and I said fuck it I didn't want to be a douche I was kind of like
stoked that they
pulled me in smoked a little bit of weed it was at lunch and I walked to my
next class and I said
dude dude I sat down I was yeah exactly boom boom boom boom boom so it was
history and I'm sitting
there's US history I'm so fucked up out of my mind I'm like I freaked out I was
getting paranoid so I
thought how am I gonna get through this class so I go just look straight don't
look at anybody just
look straight don't do nothing I go oh my god I'm freaking out but I'm not no
one's gonna know no one's
looking out and then I look to the side and there's people are looking back on

eyes my eyes got fucking they said there were people were like turning around
pointing at my eyes

looked at my eyes and they
were so red it was fuck
