Hello, Ron.

Ron Funches (0:04)

Hello, Joe.

Joe Rogan (0:04)

How are you?

Ron Funches (0:05)

I'm good, man.

Joe Rogan (0:06)

You are good. You got double water bottles.

Ron Funches (0:08)

One water, one protein shake.

Joe Rogan (0:11)

You're not fucking around.

Ron Funches (0:12)

No, I knew it. You know, last time, I wasn't aware how long I would be here.

Now I'm prepared, I'm gonna settle in, I'm not gonna be hungry, my wife got me all set up.

Joe Rogan (0:20)

Nice.

Ron Funches (0:20)

Water, protein shake.

Joe Rogan (0:21)

Make sure that your blood sugar doesn't drop, maintain energy levels.

You are a man who has done one of the most difficult things a person could do. You lost a ton of weight.

Ron Funches (0:31)

Yeah, and then maintain, keep nd on. That's the harder.

Joe Rogan (0:34)

Right, that's the hard part.

Ron Funches (0:35)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (0:35)

Yeah, the momentum of losing the weight is good, but most people, they get to a point and they want to take a break. And then once they take a break, then it all slides.

Ron Funches (0:43)

Yeah, it's a bit of both. Sometimes I want to take a break, but then I want to get to that next level. So then I get back on it.

Joe Rogan (0:50)

Well, we're talking about Gucci Mane before we started the podcast. Gucci is the guy who's done that.

Ron Funches (0:54)

Yes.

Joe Rogan (0:55)

He's maintained and looks fucking amazing.

Ron Funches (0:57)

And took it to that next level.

Joe Rogan (0:58)

He was a big fella.

Ron Funches (0:58)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (0:59)

At one point in time. When he had Burr tattooed on his face. Mm-hmm.

Ron Funches (1:02)

The ice cream cone. Yeah.

Joe Rogan (1:04)

And now he's shredded.

Ron Funches (1:06)

Yeah. He got rid of that ice cream.

Joe Rogan (1:10)

Well, you were saying it was lean, right?

Ron Funches (1:12)

Yeah, for sure.

Joe Rogan (1:12)

Yeah, for drinking.

Ron Funches (1:13)

Yeah, the codeine will put a lot of weight on you.

Joe Rogan (1:15)

Look at the difference, man. That is crazy. Well, he wasn't too fat in the other one.

Ron Funches (1:18)

Yeah, that's like, yeah, that's kind of like him mid losing weight in that one. You can find some real chunky pics of him.

Joe Rogan (1:26)

Yeah. He got thick.

Ron Funches (1:28)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (1:28)

But now it's shredded.

Ron Funches (1:30)

Yeah.

Shredded with him. My inspiration. Yeah, me and my wife all the time, we look at him and his wife, the pictures they take, what they do, and I'm like, I want to get in that direction.

Joe Rogan (1:38)

What do you do for workin out?

Ron Funches (1:40)

I have my trainer about three days a week, sometimes two days a week, and then on top of that, and we'll do, you know, just different circuits, back, chest, you know, whatever, whatever, legs. And then the other days, I'm always just trying to make sure I hit the treadmill twice a day for two miles on any climb.

Joe Rogan (1:56)

Twice a day?

Really? You do it twice a day?

Ron Funches (1:58)

Yeah, in the morning and night. I don't do much otherwise. So, you know, especially now, a lot of my stuff is sitting in front of a computer, podcasting, playing games on Twitch, and stuff like that. So I feel like, oh, if I'm gonna sit that long, I gotta start the day, treadmill, end the day, treadmill.

Joe Rogan (2:15)

That's discipline. I like that.

Ron Funches (2:17)

It is. I fucking hate it. It definitely is discipline.

Joe Rogan (2:22)

But you like the results. Yeah.

Ron Funches (2:23)

I like how I feel. I like the compliments. You know, I was just doing this thing the other day, and Jake Johnson, the guy from New Girl, I'm gonna cartoon with him, and that's like, you know, he's like a leading man, dream boaty guy, and he's looking at me, he's like, man, he's like, you're looking fucking good, man. You got your shit together. You're about to lead your own show. And I hear shit like that, and I'm like, okay, I better go get on that treadmill again. Yeah.

Joe Rogan (2:45)

Yeah, that helps, right?

Ron Funches (2:46)

It really does.

Joe Rogan (2:47)

Yeah, the positive feedback and positive energy, that's one thing that I like about what you do. You are very positive.

You're very warm and friendly. All the shit that you do online, you're all smiley and positive and friendly. It's cool. It gives off a good vibe. When I look at your Instagram posts or read something that you post, it's like, Ron is on the good path.
