#1872 - Tony Hinchcliffe & Hans Kim

Tony Hinchcliffe (0:06)

Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day.

Joe Rogan (0:12)

Before we even get rolling, Hey, that's who we met. I saw that on his Instagram today. 10 years ago, the kid took a fucking, what, you have a one-way? One-way ticket to LA. Says, let's see what happens.

That's awesome. Let's see, no?

Hans Kim (0:34)

Unbelievable.

Joe Rogan (0:34)

He's young Jamie Vernon.

Hans Kim (0:37)

Still young.

Joe Rogan (0:39)

He's younger than me. He's always gonna be young.

In that way, Hans Kim.

Hans Kim (0:45)

Hey Joe.

Joe Rogan (0:46)

Feeling all right?

Hans Kim (0:47)

Yeah, I feel great.

Joe Rogan (0:47)

Are you too high? Don't lie.

Hans Kim (0:49)

No, I only took two puffs.

Joe Rogan (0:50)

Okay, that's good. Don't tell people about Detroit.

And Tony Hinchcliffe.

Hans Kim (0:59)

Yes, hello.

Joe Rogan (1:00)

Good to see you, brother. We've had a fun few weeks.

Hans Kim (1:04)

Yeah, like the craziest.

Joe Rogan (1:06)

Been pretty crazy. This past weekend was bananas though. So we do this show in Columbus, Ohio.

Dave Chappelle comes, surprises the audience, goes on stage and it's probably the greatest round of applause I've ever seen anyone get in my life. Not probably, definitely, 100%.

Hans Kim (1:26)

Ohio's own Dave Chappelle in the main arena of the main city of Ohio.

Joe Rogan (1:31)

Playing the shots, playing at the big s- Now, listen how long this goes. And this is a standing ovation. The standing ovation literally goes on for a minute.

That was amazing.

Hans Kim (2:37)

It's so cool. And it's like, it almost, in a weird way, makes me happy that the lockdowns and all that happened, because it made something like that that much crazier. It's like, I feel like people really appreciate live, spontaneous insanity now, more than ever.

SPEAKER_7 (2:54)

Yes, for sure.

Joe Rogan (2:56)

They, well, it was just an awesome moment, you know? It was just a great moment. He just decides to roll in, come up, and then we all went to Vegas.

So then we all went to see the Canelo-Alvarez fight.

You and I also saw Abu Dhabi, so we saw Gordon Ryan dominate at Abu Dhabi, and then we went to see two of the craziest fucking UFC fights I've ever seen. Gregory Rodriguez and Chidi Njikwani, which was a crazy fight that went back and forth until Rodriguez caught him. And Rodriguez had the worst cut I've ever seen in my life. And then Song Yedong, the guy who fights after him against Corey Sandhagen, also has a horrific cut.

Hans Kim (3:39)

And there was a massive cut in the fight just before that with Philly.

And he had blood all over him just from having, choking out the other guy that was on top of him bleeding. There was blood the whole time.

Joe Rogan (3:52)

Yeah, it was a wild three fights.

SPEAKER_7 (3:54)

That's right, we saw that fight too.

Joe Rogan (3:56)

We saw the last round of that fight live.

Hans Kim (3:58)

That cut that Rodriguez had was absolutely insane.

Joe Rogan (4:02)

Insane. The thing about that experience though, I think we did it in the wrong order.

I think it should have like Abu Dhabi was amazing. Abu Dhabi you can kind of put anywhere, but you kind of have to put boxing before MMA or it ruins boxing for you.

Hans Kim (4:18)

Totally.

Joe Rogan (4:19)

It just doesn't feel the same.

Hans Kim (4:20)

Right.

Joe Rogan (4:20)

It's just, it's great. Don't get me wrong. I'm a boxing fan. I was super happy to be there. It was a wild fight, but it's just not the same.

Hans Kim (4:30)

Yeah, it's like getting a hand job after a gang bang. It's like I didn't really need that.

Sort of had that earlier, but better. UFC is just so advanced.

Joe Rogan (4:41)

The other thing that boxing does is they play the national anthems. They played three national anthems. And it's like, good lord. So they play the Kazakhstan national anthem, and then the dude says, you know, go triple G, and everybody's like, fuck you. This is Mexican Independence Weekend, man.

And then they play the Mexican national anthem. Everybody goes crazy, and they sing along, which was pretty dope. Because when you're a place that's that big, and it's all, like, I mean, it had to be at least half Mexicans, right?

At least, whatever the number was. So when these songs were playing, like when Canelo has his walkout song, which is also in Spanish, or when they're singing the Mexican Independence Day song, they're singing this song, the Mexican national anthem, rather, they're singing this song in Spanish, all together. So there's thousands of people singing along.
