#1205 - Jake "The Snake" Roberts & Tony Hinchcliffe

Joe Rogan (0:02)

Here we go, three, two, one, and we're live. Tony Hinchcliffe.

Tony Hinchcliffe (0:09)

Hello.

Joe Rogan (0:10)

Jake The Fucking Snake.

Jake Roberts (0:12)

I can't believe it, man.

What do you know, Joe? You never heard that before, have you?

Joe Rogan (0:17)

I've heard it a couple of times. I've heard, hey Joe, I heard you shot your old lady down.

A few times as well.

Jake Roberts (0:23)

There you go.

Joe Rogan (0:24)

I gotta tell you, man, I watched your documentary last night, and it's fantastic.

It is. If that thing doesn't bring tears to your eye, you need to go to a doctor.

Jake Roberts (0:32)

Yeah, you're not a human man. No doubt.

Joe Rogan (0:34)

That is.

Dallas is a fucking saint. He really is.

Jake Roberts (0:38)

Heart-headed. You know, without it, I'd never made it.

Joe Rogan (0:41)

Yeah.

Jake Roberts (0:41)

Because, you know, us junkies, we like to lie a lot, you know, and alcoholics do too, but it was a tough, tough road, man, and he guided me through it. He's amazing.

Never gave up. And I can never thank him enough for what he's done for me and giving me my life back. I'm not only my life, but my family.

I got my kids back. They're all digging me now. I'm a great grandfather, probably the best grandfather ever, you know, I'm just saying because it's true. I mean, I'll pick anybody up, man.

Joe Rogan (1:13)

The detailing of your recovery, though, and him taking you in to the, what does he call his house? That house? The accountability house?

Jake Roberts (1:21)

Accountability crib, yeah.

Joe Rogan (1:22)

Yeah. I mean, he's a special guy.

Jake Roberts (1:26)

You gotta understand, I mean, no man in his right mind would bring one, much less two drunks into their home.

You gotta expect tragedy. There's gonna be something come bad out of this. And he was able to hold us together, man. I mean, there were a couple of brief moments that kind of escalated and got kind of stupid, but he wouldn't give up, man.

Joe Rogan (1:51)

Well, I got to know Dallas when he came on the podcast. And one thing that you get about him is this guy, he's not just about himself.

He is really about helping people out.

Jake Roberts (2:02)

He gets a buzz of helping people, which to me is just so amazing. And I've picked that up off of him. I search people out now in a crowd that are having a hard time walking or you see something going on or they're overweight and go like, man, you know, I'm so and so. And it gets me in using the name Jake The Snake, I can talk to him. Hey, you ever thought about trying some DDP yoga, man, because it works.

And if you've never done it, DDP yoga is without a doubt the number one thing out there for getting healthy. And it makes your body healthy, makes your mind healthy, you know, and for him to be out there, he's just a soldier. Yeah, he really is. He pushes all day long, man. And here's a guy that could be handling it a totally different way.

But he still picks up a phone and calls somebody and thanks them for buying the program. Yeah, they'll does that.

Joe Rogan (2:56)

Right.

Jake Roberts (2:57)

He does. Because he wants to know.

And the next thing you know, he's been on a 25 minute phone call. And they're sending him photos of the before picture and then he wants to look at an after picture in six months from now.

Joe Rogan (3:09)

The stories, he's got a million of success stories, we played a video when he was in of a gentleman who was a paratrooper. Yeah, I could barely walk. I mean, he had done a bunch of paratroop missions, you know, parachuting out of planes and landing on his knees. His knees are destroyed, legs are destroyed, back destroyed. Everything's fucked up.

But he starts out barely can stand barely can walk to games. Yeah, two games. By the end of the video, this guy's running. Yeah, man. He's running. He's doing full yoga poses and these incremental steps, incremental steps. But he kept getting better, kept getting better, kept getting better. And that is, it's so symbolic of like your journey in life.

If you just decide to give up and decide to just fuck the world, I'm just going to just eat and drink myself into a Bolivian.

You have been there. You can talk about that.

Jake Roberts (4:01)

I stayed there a long time, man.
