Joe Rogan Experience #418 - Jeremy Stephens, Eddie Bravo

hello freaks
what the fuck's going on ladies and gentlemen
this episode of the Joe Rogan Experience Podcast
is brought to you by
lumosity.com
did it again
and that's not a dude by the way
that'd be a cool name though
my name's Lou, Lumosity
that's a badass dude
is that the internet? that helicopter?
no that's real life
I thought that was a sound effect
they're looking for you Eddie Bravo
don't say that
no not now
I didn't say shit listen to Alex Jones
go after him
problems and solutions ladies and gentlemen
Lumosity is a website that's designed
as a gym for your dome
as we sit here drinking Miller High Life
Lumosity is
it's essentially what they've
developed is games
that increase your
your brain's capacity
to do things
and what do I mean by that
it's like
it gets your brain in shape
and they don't come across
as like being work
it comes across as
as games
it's really interesting
and it's based on the science of
it's called
neuroplasticity
that's the idea behind it
there's a series of questions
that they ask you
when you sign up
and when you go to their website
you click on get started now
and then you start entering
all sorts of information
like what aspects of your memory
are you trying to train
like recalling the location of objects
can you not breathe
what's going on
oh what happened
what the fuck are you doing
you're dying over there
oh I'm sorry
you're breathing right into the microphone
I'm sorry
marijuana makes you do odd things
and I realize you're doing it
Lumosity has memory
attention
speed
like meaning the speed
of recognizing things
coming up with answers for things
flexibility
communicating clearly
and thinking outside the box
and again
all this shit is done
in games
it's really interesting stuff
I enjoy it
it's fun
it's fun to play
has there ever been a guy that
you know how there's a bunch of
350 pound guys out there
that you know that
all of a sudden
they're 190
they get in shape
they've been doing jiu jitsu
the last year
you know Robert Bradley
was 350 pounds
he's 190 pounds now
amazing
all because he cut out soda
and he started training jiu jitsu
so with this luminosity thing
that you got
what if there's
Lumosity
what if there's
what if you start
like you know these dudes
you know certain
you know this guy Joe
or whatever
is an idiot
and all of a sudden
he gets into these games
and he's fucking intelligent
he's like Graham Hancock
and shit
you think there'll be guys like that
I think it's possible
to increase your capacity
slightly
that's what I think
I know how dumb I am
so I know
like when it comes to
like
have you ever talked
to a mathematician
in sixth grade
I've had conversations
with mathematicians
just random guys
that have met places
and start talking to them
about that fucking
goodwill hunting shit
when they write on the chalkboard
and all those weird
what the fuck does that mean
exactly
I knew what it a little bit meant
in algebra
because I
algebra was kind of easy to me
and it was all that shit
but I don't remember
what it means now
well I think
this is what it's like
I think
and I think this is where
Lumosity comes into this
is that when you do something
a lot
you get in shape
for that thing
and that includes comedy
you know I've been doing comedy
for 23 years
but dude if I take a couple months off
I get on shaky legs
if I just try to go on stage flat
I have to go over my material
I have to listen to notes
I have to listen to old recordings
and get myself in the groove
because my mind's not in comedy shape
and that's what happens
like that happened to me
when I was filming that show
the sci-fi show
because I was doing it constantly
I got out of comedy shape
I could feel it
I could feel it on stage
I was just off a little
and I think that
mathematics especially
is one of those things
that you get into
and you build a base
you build a base
an understanding of
you know simple stuff
like you know
simple arithmetic
simple subtraction
then you start dividing things
then you start getting into algebra
and equations
and calculus
and you need that base
you need like
you gotta be in shape
you can't just get into a jiu-jitsu gym
and roll with Eddie Bravo
you gotta have some fucking training behind you
you gotta build your conditioning up
you gotta get somewhere
I think it's like that
with everything you do man
I remember how to multiply numbers
and add them and subtract them
and write them up right
but the division
you know when you put them
in the little house
and it's like 345
divided into 17,212
I'm like how the fuck
do you do that again
you start over
you start on the top of that house
and where do the decimal points go
I don't know how to do that shit no more
yeah
that's where it stops
it's one of those things man
where you just gotta do it all the time
it's gotta be a part of your life
if it's not a part of your life
it's too slippery
I think that's the way with jiu-jitsu
I think that's the way with comedy
I think that's the way with anything hard
I think most people forget that shit
like this division
because I'm sure you
you probably fuck up too
fuck up
so what
you know I fuck up simple counting
what is the point of
is it important to learn how to do it
even though you're going to forget it
is that just an exercise of the mind
it's not the actual
division process
it's just
you're young
you're 12
you're 13
you're working out the mind
we know they're going to forget it
when they grow older
but you need that workout
is it for that
or are you supposed to remember
how to do that
I think when you take time off of things
you just forget how to do them
you know I went for a long period of time
where I didn't play pool
you know I used to play pool
8-10 hours a day
when I lived in New York
I was obsessed
I wanted to be a professional pool player
I was obsessed
and then I took like years off
and I started playing again
in like 2006 or something
after I did a TV show
and I was fucking terrible dude
I didn't know what I was doing
I just lost all of my information
it all went away
but I was playing 8-10 hours a day man
I was pretty decent
I was a decent like B player
and then I just was
F player
as soon as I came back
I was like where did it all go
why did I forget how to do everything
math is a science
get that thing right up
right up by you
math to me is a science
it's very complex
like I think you're born with it
it's a serious set of skills
that you have to constantly
keep working on
if you're going to perfect it
one thing about mathematicians
they never argue with each other
they're not
oh no this is going to happen
they never debate
mathematicians are just like boom
it's right on the table
you can't argue the math
it's correct
all he's going to do is look at it
and he's going to be like
oh man that's correct
the same thing with this lumosity
which is so crazy
because to me that's like science
science is basically telling you
to put your life
your brain
your neurological patterns
your thoughts
everything on a computer
and I think scientists
are able to study that
like what do most people like
what are they going to do this
and they're going to start
putting it into categories
because there's these scientists
out there right now
that are basically
learning how to control computers
through one's brain
and they think that your brain
is going to be a part of the computer
one day
for sure
and it's all going to be
that computer is actually
going to be you
and I think with this lumosity
is a huge step
in that era
which is like a science
it's a math
I think it's just building on
computers are the next
you can't deny them
we've grown so much
through computers
in this history
it's only going to get
more advanced
it's going to get
a lot more technical
and a lot more bizarre
yeah the idea of
designing programs
that enhance your brain
the same way you would
design something
that would work out
a computer
I think you have
a real good point
about mathematicians too
because they don't
argue about shit
it's pretty black and white
if you can understand
the math
but it gets so squirrely
that some guys
can't even understand
the math
like it gets to this
weird super complex area
like where they have
these million dollar prizes
to solve problems
like there was this one
crazy Russian cat
that apparently he wanted
but didn't want the money
do you remember that shit
you remember that story
some Russian dude
who solved this long term
mathematical problem
and he didn't even
want the money
it was like a million dollar prize
or something ridiculous
behind it
but he was just obsessed
with solving these
complex riddles
of numbers
and he lived in that world
the world of numbers
how crazy is it
that that is
the pinnacle
of
of
intellect
we don't know
shit about it
I don't know
what the fuck
they're doing
and that's like
it's almost like
it's almost to
fully understand
no one knows
exactly what we're about
and how the fuck
why we're here
but it's gonna have
something to do
with them damn numbers
that they're working on
right
it's gonna
like the meaning
of the universe
has something
there's a connection
and they're
they're closer
to figuring it out
than we are
you know
yeah that's
that's what life's about
is really connecting
you know
as far as connecting
the punch
connecting the triangle
the whole world
connecting the dots
connecting the dots
yeah
and math is the true science
to it because
most people can't
understand it
so automatically
they're like
no this guy's crazy
so basically
none of us in this room
are involved
in the true science
of life
we're just fucking
shitting ourselves
jerking off
all over the place
yeah
yeah when you look
at people
people
reproduction
is very key
to our species
yeah
there's so many
people out there
that could look
at science though
they see the science
and they still
they still
they're smart
as hell
they look at the science
and they still
don't see it
but if it was put in
if it was put in math
like you put it in numbers
you have to accept it
right
they accept the numbers
all that shit
but you know
they'll check to see
if your theory is right
and if it isn't
it basically becomes
like a law of gravity
it's set in stone
there's no arguing
with it
it's a law
if you throw something
up in the air
it's going to fall down
there's like so
no bias in that
you know
in math
there's no bias
ever
that's an interesting
point man
you know
and I want to get to this
on the podcast later
when we're talking
we're going to talk
about some numbers
and some different things
over this weekend
anyway go to
lumosity.com
use the code name
rogan
let them know
that I sent you
in the referral box
and click start training
create your own program
you can try it out
it's a really
really fascinating
website
I think it's a beautiful design
I love the idea
behind it
and I love the idea
that you can do
something like this
that you can create
a fucking gym
for your brain
it's awesome
they owe you triple
for this commercial
this was 35 minutes
yeah but these commercials
are entertaining
that's the whole key
behind it
we need more of those
Joe
like the way you used
to do it
you're just blazing
through them in
two minutes
you used to give us
30 minutes
that is true
sometimes I do
they're gonna expect it
man you better slow down
god damn you're right
damn it Eddie Bravo
why you freaking me out man
they're like
yeah he had the
Darth Vader
people are gonna give you
commercials
and they're gonna give you
material too
try to say this
this
go into this
I've already had that
oh really
yeah that shit
don't work so well
they try to give you jokes
that shit don't work so well
lumosity.com
go there
it's the shit
you'll love it
we're also brought to you
by squarespace.com
squarespace is a new website
that is designed
to make websites
it's fucking awesome
I'm a huge fan
of this thing
everybody that we've
turned on to squarespace
has really enjoyed it
it's like myspace right
what are you doing
sorry I was adjusting
something
you are retarded
no myspace
you pretty much used to
build your own website
right
th
