Boom, and we're rolling. What's going on, man?

Jamie (0:05)

How are you?

Lil Duval (0:06)

What's up, Mike?

Joe Rogan (0:07)

Pleasure. Pleasure.

Lil Duval (0:07)

Pleasure to meet you, man.

Joe Rogan (0:09)

I enjoy your social media, man. Your Instagram is one of my favorite, for sure.

Lil Duval (0:12)

I appreciate it, man. Just doing me.

Joe Rogan (0:14)

Yeah, you're doing you, but you're doing it correctly. It's a lot of fun. You're a fun guy. Like, your shit is fun.

Lil Duval (0:20)

I just try to be genuine with it. That's all, because that's all I've been on there from day one, and that's what got me this far, and it's been working, so why not?

Joe Rogan (0:28)

Yeah, man, you know, I found out about you. Well, I found out about you from two people. One, from my friend Andrew Schultz.

Lil Duval (0:34)

Yeah, that's my nigga.

Joe Rogan (0:35)

I love that dude.

He speaks very highly of you. But two, because my friend Style Bender, he's a UFC middleweight champion. He played your song on one of his walkouts, on one of his fights.

Lil Duval (0:44)

I didn't even know. I didn't even know him, honestly, until it's just like a lot of stuff I really don't be knowing. I'm at the loop of the mainstream stuff.

So if I'm not, if I can't, especially something like UFC, I'm still new to that. I'm still learning it. So when he, so when, I think Andrew O'Shaulamain, the one told me in Instagram, told me too. When I looked at it, I was like, oh shit, this shit is big. Like Smile, because this one, he did it like why Smile Bitch was still bubbling. So he was one of the people that I kind of realized, oh no, this shit going to a whole nother level.

Just by him doing that, and I appreciate him doing that too.

SPEAKER_4 (1:18)

He's huge now.

Joe Rogan (1:20)

He's huge now. He's the champ now. So he did this back before he won the title. This was, I believe, a year ago.

Lil Duval (1:26)

Shit, to me, he did win the title when he did that. Shit, I thought that was the title, I didn't know. I don't know, I'm still new to this, that UFC thing.

Actually, that's what brought me into it.

Joe Rogan (1:35)

Really?

Lil Duval (1:36)

That made me give a fuck about it. I was like, oh shit, let me see what this is about.

Joe Rogan (1:40)

You gotta come to one live.

Lil Duval (1:41)

I want to.

Joe Rogan (1:42)

What are you doing this weekend?

Lil Duval (1:43)

You want me to tell you what it is?

I didn't like to see the actual nigga getting his ass whooped. Like, I don't even want to keep seeing him get punched, punched, punched.

Joe Rogan (1:53)

While they're down, you mean?

Lil Duval (1:53)

Yeah, yeah, I guess because the environment you come from, I try to get away from that type of shit. And so to see it, like I don't even watch videos like that, seeing somebody get shot in the head. And I'm just starting to get comfortable watching fights.

I know what you're saying. So with that, but now I want to go to a UFC fight now, just because now I guess my body done got, or my mind done got desensitized to where it don't bother me as much.

Joe Rogan (2:17)

Well, anytime you want to go, let me know. This is a big one this weekend.

Lil Duval (2:21)

Where? Vegas.

Joe Rogan (2:22)

Vegas.

Lil Duval (2:23)

Shit, I might come fuck with you.

Joe Rogan (2:25)

Come on down.

Lil Duval (2:26)

Hold on, let me think. I don't want to say, I got to think, do I got something to do?

Joe Rogan (2:29)

There's at least two titles, right?

Lil Duval (2:31)

Oh shit.

Joe Rogan (2:32)

Three, three titles?

Lil Duval (2:33)

I can't go. I'm going to Honduras.

SPEAKER_4 (2:35)

Oh shit.

Joe Rogan (2:37)

How do you forget you're going to Honduras?

Lil Duval (2:40)

I don't know, I just be doing shit. I do shit whenever I get a chance to now, as far as traveling.

Joe Rogan (2:46)

Just for fun?

Lil Duval (2:47)

Yeah, just for fun, just for chill. That's my way of, my me time, my space time, to gather my thoughts and do my thing. Hmm.

Joe Rogan (2:57)

So not even, not work related at all, just to join yourself.

Lil Duval (3:01)

That's kind of where I'm at mentally and everything. I just, I'm kind of pre-retired in my mind. Really? To prepare myself for when shit slow down.
