Sobre October is now No Remember November. Cheers Cheers is now No Remember November.

SPEAKER_4 (0:17)

Here we go no remember November like that.

Joe Rogan (0:19)

First of all, whose xt brothers stupid idea was to do this ick cha poisderns網 jumped Tommy Buns. That is ick cha Last year, we did a nice, calm, 15 hot yogas.

SPEAKER_4 (0:30)

That was also awful.

Joe Rogan (0:32)

Not even close.

Ari Shaffir (0:33)

Not even close to this.

Joe Rogan (0:35)

No, this was so much more difficult.

Tom Segura (0:37)

And I didn't expect this, but I like it.

I think it's fun to be competitive with your friends. It's a fun thing, not year round, but like isolating something like this.

Joe Rogan (0:48)

Once a year.

Bert Kreischer (0:49)

You get to see different sides of people you didn't know existed.

Ari Shaffir (0:53)

I wasn't happy for any of you, but any of you worked out.

Bert Kreischer (0:55)

Do you have no idea? I don't think anyone gets the real perspective.

When Joe is focused on something, I've never seen anything like that in my fucking life.

Tom Segura (1:05)

Well, I know the funniest, because everybody's competitive and this brings it out, but the funny thing was Bert being like, whatever Joe does, I'll do double. Definitely, he was like, fuck that.

The other thing I didn't expect ever, I thought Ari would just be like, whatever, I'm just going to walk in the east io.

Joe Rogan (1:26)

I was worried about him the most.

Tom Segura (1:27)

I didn't think you were going to do shit.

Joe Rogan (1:28)

I was worried about him the most from the beginning, because I know Ari's brain.

Tom Segura (1:32)

Yeah.

Ari Shaffir (1:33)

I be like, nah, I'm out, fuck this.

Tom Segura (1:34)

That's all right, you were saying that though. Three days in, you were texting like this is dumb.

Joe Rogan (1:38)

No, he says that. This is what he's saying. He means it while he says it, but he's also like, I'm gonna fucking kill these guys. Yeah, and then he gets really serious about it.

Tom Segura (1:47)

He got serious.

Ari Shaffir (1:48)

Yeah, but I was looking for loopholes in order to trick you guys to somehow not work out. So I thought if I could get a bunch of points all to join in seven or eight days in.

Tom Segura (1:57)

And then you could be done?

Ari Shaffir (1:59)

No, then I'd be like, what the fuck? Like, yeah, I've been secretly working out, but now I'm too far away, so don't try to catch up.

Tom Segura (2:04)

Oh, right, right, right.

Joe Rogan (2:05)

There was some psychological sneakery he was doing with me. He was saying, you should just do your regular workout and see what your score's like. Yeah.

Ari Shaffir (2:12)

Oh, yeah, that was a big one to try to control, Joe.

Tom Segura (2:14)

I was a big fan of that one, too.

Ari Shaffir (2:16)

Yeah, just do your regular fucking weights.

Tom Segura (2:18)

Cause you were entertaining that for a second.

Joe Rogan (2:19)

I was in the beginning, I was like, this is so stupid.

But then I was like, I can't lose. And then I thought about it, and the other thing I was thinking was, this is what my plan was. My plan was to keep up with you guys for two weeks. And then after two weeks, to set aside a lot of time and about-

Ari Shaffir (2:39)

And then lap us?

Joe Rogan (2:40)

Yeah, about, well, no, just go psycho. I was like, I'm just gonna go psycho. I'm gonna put up pace that I don't think anybody else can keep up with for like the last two weeks.

The last two weeks, I just said, I'm gonna put in some 600 point days. I put in 1000 point day.

Bert Kreischer (2:56)

Dude, that's when I stopped looking at you.

Ari Shaffir (3:00)

For context.

Bert Kreischer (3:00)

Like I was looking at the, when we started this month and I put in my 700 point day, everyone was a little bit like, wow, Bert. By the way, I ran almost a marathon that day.

Have no fucking clue. I was just looking at my goddamn phone the whole time.

Joe Rogan (3:12)

Just checking the points.

Bert Kreischer (3:13)

Just checking the points.

Joe Rogan (3:13)

I was always. So people don't know what the points are. We'll explain. If you get 70% of your max heart rate, that's three points a minute. If you get 80% of your max heart rate or above, that's four points a minute. So we all try to stay in the 80 range because that's where you get your money. Right.
