Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day.
Headphones, no headphones?
Yeah, I don't need headphones.
You don't, we're going no headphones.
Fuck it.
What's up, dog?
How are you?
Well, dude, it's been a roller coaster for me, man.
Since the last time I saw you?
Uh, big time.
What happened?
Well, um, let's see here.
Um, the, uh, the year of 2022, last time I saw you, I think it was 2023.
Was it that long ago?
I think it was, man.
Okay.
Yeah.
And, uh, man, dude, I was on high the, the year of 2022.
Like we had, uh, our Jackass movie in theaters, number one.
It was big, like, you know, my profile was all, you know, like white hot.
Um, the world just opened up from the pandemic and everybody had stimulus money
and they were
just revenge spending.
Everyone wanted to go out to shows and there were no interest rates.
Money was free.
It was just like a perfect storm for me to have the most successful year of my
life.
Like more than double what my next most successful year was.
And then like, I don't know, maybe I just got like, uh, super, super high on
that, you know?
Like, and it was just like, I was just kind of printing money, you know, like
selling merch
like crazy and like everything was just going so well.
And, um, I don't know if maybe like you become more successful and like people
get angry at
you, you know, but, uh, there's a point, like a point after that where I felt
like, man, the
internet turned on me.
Kind of, you know, like I saw a lot of negative comments, people saying that,
uh, like all
I do is promote merch, you know, like there was, uh, there's a bunch of
different stuff.
And I, um, legitimately agree.
That's my thing is when I see a negative comment about me, if I agree with it,
then it really
bothers me, you know, and I got to do something about it, you know, I think,
and, and I've
heard you say that, that, uh, you know, that, that, that, uh, taking criticism
constructively
is like super helpful.
It's very helpful.
The problem with the internet is this, it's overwhelming.
It's too many, too many voices, too many different people.
That's why I would never recommend for a person like you to even read the
comments.
Right.
I, what I did was, um,
Do you have a dick tattooed on your right eyebrow?
Is that what that is?
That's exactly what it is.
How long do you have to keep that for?
I don't have to keep it for any amount of time.
Is it not a bet or anything?
I mean, it is a bet how long I last before I get lasered off.
And is there a money value to this bet?
No, it's more of a, an experiment.
Oh.
But I've been doing really well with it.
It's not even a good dick.
It's like a weird dick, like a banana dick.
Um, it's, it's, uh, it's pretty awesome.
And it, and it was, uh,
You're bad at taking criticism.
It, uh, it, it, it was done by Post Malone.
Oh, that makes it even better.
Very, it makes it awesome.
Yeah.
I don't expect to keep it forever,
but I was very shocked when I got it
that my life didn't really change a whole lot.
Yeah, that's you.
Right.
You know what I mean?
Like if, uh, you know, Marco Rubio got a dick tattooed on his forehead.
He'd be like, hey, take his fucking clearance away.
Yeah, um, but in any case, man, like, um, I, uh, I just, you couldn't be more
right.
There's so many voices and everything, but I agreed with a bunch of stuff and,
um, you know, I spent like, um, 2024, 2025, like, like very mindfully, um,
addressing the, you know, the criticism with which I agreed.
And I felt like I made like really good progress, you know, like sort of, uh,
repairing my, my reputation, even though maybe I didn't even need to.
I don't think you needed to.
Maybe not.
But, uh, and, and then coming into 2026, I was like, wow, I did this.
I, I, I, uh, texted you.
I was like, dude, I got on this Mr. Beast thing.
I won the whole damn thing.
And, uh, you know, the, this video he made, 30 celebrities compete to win a
million dollars for charity.
Oh, who were you on with?
Uh, dude, it was, uh, Matt Reif was one of them.
Oh, cool.
Sal Vulcano.
Oh, nice.
Howie Mandel.
Diplo.
Nice.
The Bella twins.
Oh, so that's a crazy group of people.
It was really crazy.
So there's 20, 20, 30 of them.
30.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
30, like, like not half-assed celebrities by any measure.
And, uh, yeah, I won the whole damn thing, which was.
So what was involved?
What'd you have to do?
Um, there was, uh, the, I mean, it was, it was an exercise in promoting his
Beast games on Prime.
Uh-huh.
Which, by the way, is the most phenomenal TV show that I've ever watched.
Yeah, my daughter was just telling me about it.
She was saying it's so good.
It is unbelievably good.
And, and I'm not being paid to say that.
He's a wizard, man.
That dude's very smart.
Yeah, I got to.
He's like a really interesting guy because he's kind of open about what he does.
He tells people how to do it.
Right.
You know, like how to manipulate the algorithm and how to get people to get
excited and click on your link based on what the images and the text says.
Yeah.
He thinks about all that shit.
Yeah.
I was able to have him on my podcast, uh, like right, right when the thing came
out.
Uh-huh.
And, uh, he was telling me that, um, that he was pretty close to recording a
podcast with you on the top of the pyramid.
Yeah.
I couldn't make it out there.
Right.
I didn't have the time.
Yeah.
But, you know, he's amazing.
And I thought when that thing came out, I was like, man, this is just gonna,
like, be life all the time.
Well, here's the thing.
People got mad at him.
They got mad at him when he was filming in Egypt because he was filming with,
uh, Zahi Hawass.
And Zahi is the, what is the head of the Ministry of Antiquities?
Is that what it is?
Or he was at one point in time.
He was one of, you know, my most controversial podcast guests.
People did not like him.
Wow.
Because he's kind of, he pushes a narrative in defiance of all the evidence
that has been sort of uncovered by all these other people.
It's like there's this evidence that shows that, you know, the pyramids are
built by these guys.
You know, Mr. Beast.
Because Mr. Beast did something with him.
And a lot of people online were mad at him for having this guy on, Zahi Hawass.
And it's the guy who pushes the narrative.
Yeah, like, nobody knows how they built the pyramids.
And he's like, they built it because it was a national project.
And I was like, come on, bro.
Like, that's a fun thing to say.
But that doesn't tell me how they got all those rocks there.
Tell me how they got 2,300,000 stones that weigh between 2 and, like, 80 tons.
And they moved them to the mountains, some of them, 500 miles away.
Like, tell me how they did that.
Tell me how they aligned it to true north, south, east, and west, 4,500 plus
years.
And it's more likely plus than minus.
I mean, nobody knows.
So that was really controversial.
A lot of people were mad at Mr. Beast for that.
In, like, the algorithm that I have.
People were calling him a shill and letting this guy say nonsense on your show.
Wow, okay.
So that's the point.
It's like, don't listen.
Right, right, right.
Nobody gives a shit.
None of Mr. Beast's fans are like, we're going to abandon him.
He had a song he had a loss on, spitting out propaganda.
Nobody cares, man.
Right, right.
There's just too many voices.
And if you look at yourself, if you feel like, oh, I'm kind of whoring out my
merch too much,
just back off of it.
Yeah, yeah, that's what I did.
That's what I did.
He gets shit for everything because he's uber successful.
Right.
So everything he does, like, it could be like, he only gave away a million
dollars for charity.
It's fucking ridiculous, man.
Like, you'll never make all those people happy.
They don't want to be happy.
That's a big part of what's going on.
You're jumping into a pool of mentally ill people and trying to stay clean.
You're like, wash it.
Hey, guys, guys, guys, let's be reasonable.
They're not reasonable.
They're fucking suicidal.
They know what a gun tastes like.
They've had it in their mouth recently.
This is not a place where you're going to get, like, rational discourse.
Right.
But again, it's when I agree with stuff that...
Right, that it bothers you.
Right.
But do that to yourself.
Right, right.
Just look at yourself.
Take a moment.
Like, there was a...
I don't know if I was burned out, like, if I was touring, but, like, there was
a point
going through 2022 in particular, 2023, where, like, I just...
I would lose my mind over people being disruptive in the audience at my shows.
Like, I don't even want to call them hecklers because I think, like, heckler
has, like, a connotation of wittiness to it.
I'm talking about just drunk shitheads just yelling out and disrupting the show.
And I would take the position, I'd be like, man, you know, this whole audience
of people paid their hard-earned money to come see this show.
And this one person yelling out is just fundamentally disrespecting everybody
who's here, and I'm not standing for it.
I'm drawing a heart, you know?
And I would be, like, I would snap, be like, no, I would be throwing people out.
What happened was everybody thought I was a dick, you know?
And, like, maybe so.
Like, maybe I was burned out, and it was, like...
You were overreacting, right.
Overreacting.
And, like, that's another piece of criticism that I really, really took to
heart.
And now it's been over two years, like, well over two years since I even
scolded an audience member.
Or throw them out.
That's great.
You just got to kind of put that energy out there at the beginning.
We're all here to have a good time.
You know?
Sure.
We're all here to have a good time.
Let them know.
It's like, like, if someone's yelling out, like, come on, man.
Keep it to yourself.
Stay calm.
Hold it together.
If I get, like, really pushed in an egregious situation, the farthest I'll go
is I'll say,
hey, you know what, guys?
I used to get really bent out of shape over people being disruptive, but I don't
do it anymore.
And that tends to...
That's good.
As soon as I stopped reacting so much, like, the problem mellowed out.
Well, you got to realize, like, your entire career, you've kind of been a
disruptor.
Sure.
So it's kind of natural that disruptive people would be attracted to come to
your show.
Of course.
Of course.
And then you're saying, please be polite at this moment in time.
Right.
Yeah.
Like, you're about to see me put some things up my butt and I demand respect.
Is that what you do in your show?
You put stuff up your butt?
Well, it's a multimedia show.
So, um...
So it, like, it...
So, of course you put something up your butt and it's multimedia.
I mean, it's self-explanatory, Jamie.
Well, what's with the questions, Jamie?
Thank God.
Right.
But, yeah...
But I still, to this day, cringe.
When Tim Kennedy choked you unconscious and then let you drop, I was mad at him.
Yeah, that was...
I was mad at him.
You didn't have to let you drop like that.
I did ask him to drop me, which was wrong.
I would have said no.
Yeah.
I would have said no.
If you made me do that to you, first of all, I would have tried to talk you out
of it.
But then I would have said, there's no way I'm going to let you drop.
In hindsight, it wasn't particularly funny.
Not only was it not funny, it was, like, super disturbing.
Right.
I would have put a cushion under you, at the very least.
Right.
You know, like a nice...
Like a...
Like a...
Like a...
One of them judo pads where you throw people on.
Especially being choked out in and of itself is not...
Not that bad.
It's not...
It's not really dangerous.
It's probably not the best for you.
Right.
Yeah, I don't know what the data is.
I don't think a lot of jiu-jitsu people have done double-blind, placebo-controlled
studies
on tap or no tap.
What's the best for your brain?
Right.
I can't think it's good that your brain gets shut off for a few seconds.
I can't think it's good, you know?
One of the gnarliest things I've ever done i
