#1833 - Tim Kennedy

Joe Rogan (0:04)

The Joe Rogan Experience.

Tim Kennedy (0:12)

Your stand up was the first one I've been to in probably ten years.

Joe Rogan (0:17)

Oh, with the Vulcan?

Tim Kennedy (0:19)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (0:19)

Yeah, that's a great place.

Tim Kennedy (0:20)

Dude, it's rad.

Joe Rogan (0:21)

Yeah, it's a fun little spot.

Tim Kennedy (0:23)

Everybody was cool. It's weird that it's on Sixth Street, but.

Joe Rogan (0:27)

Yeah, yeah, my place is, too. We up?

Yeah, Sixth Street is a unique spot.

Tim Kennedy (0:34)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (0:35)

They're doing some stuff to try to clean it up a little bit, and they got rid of that homeless situation. There was a crazy homeless encampment that was really close to that.

They got rid of that. So Austin's a unique place. There's a lot of wild shit in this town.

Tim Kennedy (0:52)

Yeah, amazing stuff and really weird stuff.

Joe Rogan (0:54)

Yeah, it's a great combination, though. And it's a great size. You were one of the people that early on got me thinking about Austin, because you were always ranting about it. About how great it is here.

Tim Kennedy (1:04)

I should have kept my mouth closed.

SPEAKER_1 (1:04)

Should have kept your mouth shut.

Tim Kennedy (1:06)

Because then when you came here, everybody, they're like, hi, where's Joe at? Oh, just moved to Austin. It's like, you shut your mouth.

We're on a flight last night coming back, and the Southwest person, who obviously lives in Austin, they stopped in Austin, then flew to San Diego. And he's like, can everybody that is going home to visit in San Diego, please stay. Like, he said that over the intercom on a Southwest flight, and he's like, I like this guy.

Joe Rogan (1:31)

Well, it's like the secret's out, but the barrier to entry is high. It's hard to move to a new city. It's a lot. And then on top of that, it's hard to find a fucking house here.

Everybody I know that finds a house here, they get out bid.

Like, you gotta bid more than the house costs. It's like they're making this little sneaky move where like, save the house, if it's listed for 500 grand, you gotta offer six. Because if you don't, someone is gonna do that, and then you're not gonna make it.

Tim Kennedy (1:56)

I've been trying to buy land, and I keep, I mean, and I'm coming in high well over, and then, you know.

Joe Rogan (2:03)

Still losing out.

Tim Kennedy (2:04)

The realtors I cast. Somebody from California just paid cash and came 30% over.

Joe Rogan (2:08)

Motherfuckers. Yeah, it's wild out here. And they're building out here like crazy too. Like when you get out towards like Round Rock, and you know, out in that area, there's just constant construction.

Tim Kennedy (2:20)

Yeah, I'm in Cedar Park. That's where our headquarters is. And that used to, if you're in Austin, Cedar Park was like the absolute hillbill north.

And now it's just North Austin.

Joe Rogan (2:31)

Yeah.

Tim Kennedy (2:31)

Just everything is just slowly.

Joe Rogan (2:33)

Still so small.

Tim Kennedy (2:34)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (2:35)

In comparison to LA, every time I go back to LA, I'm like, fuck this. How did I live here? I'm so much more relaxed here.

Unfortunately, we're talking about it again.

Tim Kennedy (2:47)

Dang it. You look good.

Joe Rogan (2:49)

Thank you, thank you.

Tim Kennedy (2:50)

Healthy?

Joe Rogan (2:50)

Working out?

Tim Kennedy (2:51)

Training?

Joe Rogan (2:51)

Yeah, a lot.

Tim Kennedy (2:52)

Grappling?

Joe Rogan (2:53)

No, I'm trying to heal a knee. I have a knee issue right now that's, I was working out and doing some Muay Thai, and I just, even though it hurts, I still kick with it.

And then it was starting to swell, and so now I've been going to break them at ways to well and getting it shot up.

Tim Kennedy (3:09)

Dude, he's great.

Joe Rogan (3:10)

He's great. Ways to well is awesome. Right now, it's good. Doesn't hurt at all. So I'm gonna give it a couple of months and really do all the knees over toes stuff and try to rehabilitate it without getting an MRI because I don't want to know what's going on in there.

Tim Kennedy (3:21)

Yeah, I just did six months of that program.

Joe Rogan (3:23)

Yeah?

Tim Kennedy (3:23)

Yeah. And it makes a big difference.

Joe Rogan (3:26)

Oh my God, yeah, yeah.

Tim Kennedy (3:27)

It's not fun though.

Joe Rogan (3:29)

What part's not fun?

Tim Kennedy (3:31)

It's obviously mobility, you're focusing on circulation into the knee.
