#1339 - Everlast

Joe Rogan (0:03)

What is that thing you say when you clink glasses?

Everlast (0:05)

Sláinte, it's like the Irish, you know, Salud or, you know, Nostrovia. It's just the Irish version, Sláinte.

Joe Rogan (0:12)

Sláinte?

Everlast (0:12)

Sláinte, yeah, like S-L-A-I-N-T-E, I believe is how it's spelled in the English. Sláinte.

DJ Melody (0:19)

Ooh, I never knew that.

Joe Rogan (0:21)

You've said it before, and I always just let it slide, because I didn't want to seem like a dork, you know? That's one of the things you-

Everlast (0:26)

I'm probably saying it real, I mean, like, you know, Gaelic is some real harsh, like, vowels, and it's a crazy, like, I've seen Gaelic names that, like, were spelt insane, and it was, oh, that's pronounced Sean.

SPEAKER_4 (0:41)

Like, some crazy shit like that.

Joe Rogan (0:43)

That's a wild, ancient language, right?

SPEAKER_4 (0:45)

Yeah, for real, though.

Joe Rogan (0:46)

I love Irish people, man. I just, I'm fucking fascinated by the wildness of that culture.

Everlast (0:53)

Well, that's why God made whiskey, you know, so the Irish would never rule the world.

Joe Rogan (0:58)

When you see a guy like Conor McGregor, that part of what is him is Irish. He's like a pure, like brilliant Irish.

DJ Melody (1:09)

You know what I'm talking about?

Joe Rogan (1:10)

Bulls full, bad motherfucker. Full throttle. Knows how to take a loss? Takes a loss like a man? And still talks shit?

You know?

Everlast (1:18)

Come right back to my, it's like that guy that you fight, but he loses, but you know you're gonna have to fight him tomorrow.

Joe Rogan (1:26)

Yes.

Everlast (1:26)

Or as soon as his shit is healed up and the busted upness is gone.

Joe Rogan (1:30)

He's got like a hundred million dollars in the bank. And he still wants to fight people. Still smacking people at bars.

DJ Melody (1:36)

Yeah, that's, that's, it's.

SPEAKER_6 (1:40)

What is he doing?

SPEAKER_5 (1:41)

It's hard, it's hard.

Joe Rogan (1:42)

What is he doing? Don't do that.

Everlast (1:45)

Nah, not that.

Joe Rogan (1:46)

Who knows what the fuck the guy said to him? But it looked like the guy was old as fuck.

Someone said he was only 50, that the guy was only 50

Everlast (1:54)

Dude didn't fold up though, he just kind of sat at the bar.

Joe Rogan (1:56)

Connor didn't really.

Everlast (1:57)

Yeah, he just smacked him. He gave him the smack in the back of the head.

Joe Rogan (2:00)

Gave him a couple of fingers.

Everlast (2:02)

He touched him. He did what we call mushed him. He mushed him. Yes.

It can kind of be interpreted as hitting, but it really ain't quite a hit.

Joe Rogan (2:10)

Yeah, when you're a guy like that, you're basically walking around agreeing not to fuck people up. Because you have to kind of agree to not fuck people up.

Everlast (2:17)

The money he's got, there should be like five guys around him that make sure that never happens.

Joe Rogan (2:21)

Yeah, but they can't listen to him.

Like, if you have a guy like him, he's gonna do whatever he wants, even if there's a bunch of people around him stopping him. You're not gonna stop him from doing that.

Checks. When he threw that guy's phone down the ground, stomped it in Miami, there was all the bodyguards there. He just did it. He just did it. He's Conor McGregor. He's fucking, look, he's living like you're supposed to live if you're Conor McGregor. The dance is don't go to jail, dude.

Don't get locked up.

Everlast (2:47)

And it's also the whole structure of the way things are now as far as like entertainment. It's like, it's all about eyeballs.

Joe Rogan (2:55)

Well, he fucking figured it out, man.

SPEAKER_7 (2:58)

He's pulling eyeballs, Terry.

Joe Rogan (3:00)

He figured it out, man, like in the most crazy way possible.

He figured out how to just blow up the whole system. When you're a guy who has been fighting, I mean, I contacted him on Twitter in like 2013, right? By 2018, he's worth a hundred million dollars.

Everlast (3:21)

Yeah, so quick. And he called it all the way.

SPEAKER_4 (3:25)

And he called it all the way.

Everlast (3:27)

That's crazy.

SPEAKER_4 (3:27)

That's the craziest part is he called it all the way.

Everlast (3:30)

Like I'm going to be a billionaire or a multimillionaire.

Joe Rogan (3:34)

You know what Dana White said to me once about him that's dead on? He said he eats pressure. He said that guy eats pressure. He just eats it. He goes, he just goes in there and the more pressure experiences, the better he can perform.
