Joe Rogan Experience #259 - Mike Birbiglia

hey everybody it's joe rogan and this is my podcast and this is the new way i'm
gonna do
my commercial now because i can't keep saying it the same fucking way but it
turns the regular way
halfway through it somewhere along the line i give up i always give up our
podcast is sponsored
by onnit which is essentially a vitamin supplement and fitness company it's a
company that i am a part
of i own a part of the company the reason being that i got involved in it and i
believe in the
ethics of the company and i believe what they're selling we're selling the best
quality nutrients
some of them are nootropics some of them are sports exercise ones like shroom
tech sport alpha brain is
the uh the famous nootropic one we also sell hemp protein powder with maca and
raw cocoa it's
fucking fantastic stuff kettlebells and battle ropes it's all essentially
fitness and like lifestyle and
health supplements and uh it's all stuff that i believe in it's all stuff that
i've always been
taking like long before i ever got involved in this company so um if you uh if
you're interested in it
if you're interested in nootropics a very controversial area good i want you to
just go to google and just
google the word nootropics n-o-o-t-r-o-p-i-c it's all about uh supplementation
to enhance your brain's
ability to produce neurotransmitters it's all very complicated stuff and that's
what i need
retard like me should not be really talking about it because i don't really
know what i'm saying you
know i'm saying i'm just like repeating scientific shit that i've read but i
believe that if you
believe in it i i actually would take that to heart because you you actually
don't really i mean i don't
know your finances but you don't seem like you need a lot of money but you were
on a network
oh you were hosting a network tv show for a lot of years you were a star of
talk radio news radio and
everything well i'm also an idiot i could have spent that money i could have
burnt right through
that shit yeah he's got gold buddhas um yeah this i would never get involved
with anything that i don't
believe in i just wouldn't i don't have i don't have another life to live just
i've got one and while
i'm already ahead and i'm you know i'm not uh i'm not worried about paying my
bills and everything's
going well the last thing i want to do is get involved in anything that i didn't
really that's
not true though because i did do fear factor again for another term but you
gotta really i
really like those guys that i worked with those producers and you're good at it
too by the way
and i would be sick if i saw somebody else doing it i really would have that
even though that show
was retarded that was my baby yeah i did 148 of those fucking things um but uh
there's no way
i would be involved in a company company unless i believed in it and everything
that we sell it on
is all stuff that i use in my daily life that i've talked about long before i
got involved in this
company especially kettlebells which i feel are the the best uh as far as like
strength and
conditioning if i had to pick one exercise i think kettlebells is like the best
piece of exercise
equipment that you can have it's like a cannonball that's got a handle on it
and it's all about
controlling this fucking cannonball and they come in a bunch of different sizes
i use sometimes as light
as 35 pounds sometimes 50 pounds sometimes 70 pounds and they give you amazing
workouts that
directly apply to jujitsu for me but for any athletic endeavor where you what
it relies on explosiveness
and and and muscle power and it's all exercises that make your body move as one
complete unit as
opposed to like isolation exercises was a lot of people do at the gym when you
see them lifting weights
this is something where your entire body like there's things called turkish get-ups
where you hold this
weight up you're lying on your back and then you slowly and controlledly stand
all the way up to
your feet and then bring it all the way back down it's a really odd thing you
would think but it's
really applicable for like strength and fitness in real world uh athletic pursuits
and even just for
picking shit up and even if just for having a strong body it's better to have a
strong body than a
weak-ass bitch body there i said it all right unless you date like girls that
are like bisexual they
tend to like the bitch body look do they really like that do girls who are
bisexual they're like
like a guy that's not guy like right that's too much of a gamble that's my
secret yeah she's gonna
gamble for a niche market i'd say you could probably get them anyway if you
bulked up yeah i don't know
anyway of supplements go to go to on it.com use the code name brogan and you
will save 10 percent off
any and all the supplements um the kettlebells and the battle ropes that shit
does not work on we sell
them as cheap as we can and they're you know especially with the kettlebells it's
very difficult
it's like you're sending cannonballs through the mail but they're as durable as
fuck and they'll be
here forever all right that's it mike berbiglia is here berbiglia excuse me
mike berbiglia
the joe is in the fucking house experience train by day joe rogan podcast by
night all day
sorry those commercials are brutal
yeah
interesting to me though it's like something that i've not i've never
investigated i've always just
kept at arm's distance that kind of nutrient the nutrients and the and the
vitamins and things like
that i've just i don't understand it i'm not going to go near it but you and i've
listened and watched
this podcast you seem to know a good bit about it well um i know my from my
personal experience it
makes a big difference for me what i eat if i like if i really concentrate on
like the most important
thing i think uh is nutrients from food that's the most important thing you got
to eat healthy food
and then supplementation on top of that but you have to have the actual
nutrients so what do you eat
for lunch today uh this morning i had a hemp protein shake i only ate once i
just had a hemp protein shake
with a banana banana coconut oil and uh i had two cigarettes and coconut water
yeah no i i don't eat i don't eat heavy in the mornings i eat really light in
the morning i usually just have a shake
or have a kale shake that's my most uh common thing that i have i'm just if i'm
lazy or if i'm running out the door i don't have time to make it
but it takes a few minutes to make it's i have to clean the kale and clean
celery and clean cucumbers
and then i take chunks of ginger and raw garlic and there's a thing called a um
what is the name of
the blender it's this badass blender but it's specifically designed for this
purpose yeah it's
got like a plunger and you shove everything in there vitamix is that it vitamix
yes that is it thank you
and uh it it fucking whips it down to like a drinkable consistency yeah i put
like pineapple
in it to make it taste good and uh it's fucking great man it doesn't taste that
good but for your
body it's great you know it gives you just like this charge of like good stuff
it's like your body
knows it's got all these nutrients to work with but isn't this their inherent
contradiction with
because i know that you're you know you do the ultimate fighting uh stuff yeah
is that what it is ultimate yeah it's called the ultimate fighting championship
but that seems to
be people murdering people like other people slamming on you making it so that
your health is no
longer a possibility you can look at it that way and that is certainly part of
it but what it also is
is competition in the highest and most dramatic form sure that a human being
can see other than war
right the way the olympics is i mean it's not that healthiest thing to be an olympic
gymnast
yeah maybe but this is even worse because this is another person dominating you
yeah you know the
the idea of losing in gymnastics is you know i'm sure a cruel bitch after years
and years of practice
and you slip when you land yeah but it's nothing like getting your ass kicked
yeah there's nothing
like getting just a fuck beat out of you in front of the world yeah and there's
the emotions that are
involved in that of control the where the place to look is to look at the very
very best guys yeah if
you look at the very like the guys like anderson silva you know he's this
insanely good fighter
insanely good but such a nice guy yeah like a sweetheart of a guy always
laughing and always joking he's just
controlled all of his demons and all of his bullshit with like the most intense
form of competition
physically available so it's there's a lot going on that people don't see they
see people just kicking
people's asses it's not just that there's there's a whole side to like the cure
we are i'm not even
kidding i swear when i say i'm from shoesbury people say i'm from you're from
where spags is i think there
was a gig there i think that's why i'm remembering it i think it was one of
those boston comedy gigs did
you ever work for boston comedy oh yeah yeah yeah they sent me out well there
was an aku aku in
western yes yeah yeah i grew up driving by the aku aku where it would say
comedy night and
yeah was that a little comedy stop yeah is it still a next comedy stop i don't
know actually
and then there's uh the giggles out there and saugus that's mike clark's i
never did that
great pizza place really oh yeah pizza's great it's right next door massachusetts
pizza is very
underrated very underrated it's all it's greek pizza it's good giggles was a
great gig mike clark
is lenny clark's brother yeah i know and fucking great nice guy yeah oh he's
the best but we had
in my town shoesbury very small town we had i had four pizzerias within a half
mile shoesbury
pizzeria village pizzeria dean park and white city i thought that massachusetts
pizza was really good
until i moved back to new york and then i had to realize there's a few places
like in yonkers
yeah there's a there's a place in white plains yeah nicky's nicky's pizzeria
yeah they have a white
pizza that it's so fucking good i gotta try it's like how come they can't make
this anywhere else
like why is this not in california there's a we have a in our in my movie sleepwalk
with me
the there's a pizza pillow there's a pillow made of pizza uh as a prop and it
was done by roberta's
which is in brooklyn and is fantastic check out roberta's if you can yeah there's
some like
legit old school new york pizzerias they just can't be fucked with they're artisans
arturo's on houston's like that oh yeah there's a lot of them yeah a lot of
them there was a place
is like that i just remember a place in yonkers i don't even remember the name
of it but my friend
used to know like it was like his his buddy's dad ran it for you know 100 years
and uh it just was
ridiculously good thin crust pizza where it's like this is just some weird
place like you look on the
outside this is right if everybody knew about this it'd be a fucking mile long
line i mean you go to
that pink's hot dogs isn't that the craziest thing you've ever seen yeah
because they cook the hot
dogs at night or outside rather it's just this giant line of people who are
basically waiting to get
a very mediocre hot dog yeah but this pizza is just i love that phrase if
everybody knew about this
that's like that's like the thing that they say in advertising rooms like if we
could just get
everyone to know about this there's some shit like that that just sneaks
through like we all know comics
like that that have just snuck oh yeah if everybody knew yeah yeah yeah no for
i mean do you know brian
holtzman no brian holtzman for sure no doubt brian holtzman brian holtzman has
made me laugh harder
saying inappropriate ridiculously inappropriate shit than anyone well that's
how i feel i mean
brody i'm talking about brody i'm talking about brody's starting to get a
little famous though
yeah a lot of people know brody now i'm talking about someone pretty famous but
