Four, three, two, one, boom. So what, 100 Mile Man, or 100 Man, what is it?

Jesse Itzler (0:09)

The 100 Mile Man.

Joe Rogan (0:11)

What is that?

Jesse Itzler (0:12)

I ran 100 Mile Race years ago, and I'm still like, I'm the fucking man. Let me grab it if it's available.

Joe Rogan (0:18)

That's cool that you got it, man, because that's a very popular thing now.

Jesse Itzler (0:22)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (0:22)

Did you run this before or after you did the book with David Goggins?

Jesse Itzler (0:26)

I ran it before.

Joe Rogan (0:28)

Yeah.

Jesse Itzler (0:29)

I think at the time when I did it, there were like 400 Americans that ran 100 miles or something.

Joe Rogan (0:34)

Oh, really?

Jesse Itzler (0:34)

It wasn't a lot, so that's why it was available.

Joe Rogan (0:36)

Isn't it crazy how many people do it now?

Jesse Itzler (0:38)

Yeah. I was trying to figure out in my head how many do it a year and like how many races, 100 mile races there are there a month and then multiply it out. So probably five or six thousand, I'm guessing.

Joe Rogan (0:50)

Five or six thousand people have done it?

Jesse Itzler (0:52)

I think probably. I think so. Americans, yeah.

It's a long way.

Joe Rogan (0:58)

It's a long fucking way. We were just about talking right before the podcast about how Miss America yanked off all, they're no longer judged by their beauty.

And I posted this because I thought it was silly. And there's just these fights online, man, this fucking fights in the comments and fights and people are tense.

Jesse Itzler (1:20)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (1:21)

People need to go out and run those 100 miles.

Jesse Itzler (1:23)

Yeah. They loosen up fast, fast.

Joe Rogan (1:26)

I don't know what the fuck is going Miss America is scrapping the swimsuit competition would no longer be judged on physical appearance.

It's literally a beauty contest. That is what it is.

Jesse Itzler (1:36)

What are they replacing it with?

Joe Rogan (1:39)

I mean, I got to think it's like when Playboy decided to not have people nude.

Jesse Itzler (1:43)

Right.

Joe Rogan (1:44)

That like, and but here's the thing, but no longer judging them on their physical appearance.

Well, what does that mean? Like, what does that mean?

Jesse Itzler (1:53)

Yeah, that's a twist.

Joe Rogan (1:54)

We are no longer a pageant, Gretchen Carlson says.

We're a competition. Okay, I give up.

Jesse Itzler (2:06)

I don't know. I think that might have be a, be a, you know, hurt the ratings a little bit.

Joe Rogan (2:10)

I think a little bit. Or not. Maybe people will get very excited about it. Maybe it'll ramp up.

Jesse Itzler (2:15)

Yeah, it's getting a lot of talk.

Joe Rogan (2:17)

Yeah, maybe people will be pissed off and so they'll tune in. It's just, I don't know.

Jesse Itzler (2:21)

Where do you stand on it?

Joe Rogan (2:22)

I don't give a fuck. It's so stupid. Miss America. I mean, this is what's really fascinating to me is that I was reading the comments. A lot of feminists were angry at me that I was mocking and I saw a few of them.

I don't get it. Like why would you even want a who I'd most like to fuck contest? Because that's what it is.

I mean, that's really what it is. You're having these gals parade around their bikini. It's a beauty contest. Do we have a Mr. America contest? Is that just the president? Is that what the Mr. American contest is?

Jesse Itzler (2:53)

I don't know.

Joe Rogan (2:55)

I mean, I was trying to ask you as someone who's deeply connected to competition and mindsets.

Jesse Itzler (3:02)

Yeah. I don't know. I'm not following it that closely.

But I am going to miss that part of the competition to be honest with you.

Joe Rogan (3:08)

Are you though really? Yeah. There's so many opportunities to see people naked today.

Yeah.

Jesse Itzler (3:13)

But as a kid watching this America pageant, I was like, you know, there weren't a lot of options.

Joe Rogan (3:18)

Back then.

Yeah. Kids today are broken.

Jesse Itzler (3:21)

Sports Illustrated and the pageant. That's right.

Joe Rogan (3:24)

Swimsuit issue. I wonder if they're going to continue the swimsuit issue.

Maybe they'll just see their faces and just have to assume they're in their swimsuit. And then, you know, there'll be like a bubble, a thought bubble, and it'll be filled with an amazing quote that they say. That'll be the new swimsuit issue. Because we're just judging them on their minds.
