#1900 - Steve-O

Joe Rogan (0:04)

The Joe Rogan Experience.

And we're up, Steve-O. What's happening, my brother?

Steve-O (0:16)

Yeah, dude.

Joe Rogan (0:17)

Good to see you.

Steve-O (0:18)

Good to see you too, man. It's been a long time.

Joe Rogan (0:21)

Every time I see you, I'm just happy you're in One Piece. Just happy while everything's working.

I can't believe it, that all the people that have gotten fucked up doing the things that you do, you're out there fucking moving around like normal.

Steve-O (0:33)

Right. I'm thriving.

And it hasn't been so long. I see you at the fights all the time. Yeah. Man, it's crazy. I just got so hooked on that.

Joe Rogan (0:44)

Yeah, it's the most exciting live experience you could ever encounter.

Steve-O (0:49)

For sure.

Joe Rogan (0:50)

I really believe that.

Steve-O (0:51)

And dude, how about this last card?

Joe Rogan (0:54)

I think it was one of the most first-round knockouts ever.

Steve-O (0:58)

Seven.

Joe Rogan (0:59)

Yeah, it was pretty crazy. Or first-round stoppages.

It was a wild card, man. Wild card.

Steve-O (1:08)

I was on an airplane at the time that it was happening.

And a lot of the time, I'm on stage doing my show when the fights are happening. And in those situations, I will move my Instagram app off the front screen of my phone.

Joe Rogan (1:26)

So you can't see?

Steve-O (1:27)

Yeah, because I'll just inadvertently, because it's like muscle memory. I'll open Instagram, and when it opens, I'll like, no, I'll find out what happened.

So I'll move my fucking Instagram off the top page, and then just make sure that I don't find anything out, and then I'll go under the video on demand after the fact and watch it all.

Joe Rogan (1:48)

Yeah, the Wi-Fi on a plane is not quite good enough, right? You can't really stream it on a plane, can you?

Steve-O (1:55)

In some cases, like YouTube will work fine sometimes, but in this case, I was on an Air Canada flight, so we didn't even have Wi-Fi.

Joe Rogan (2:05)

It's wood-powered Wi-Fi.

Steve-O (2:10)

Yeah, and when they made the move to ESPN Plus or ESPN, it was driving me crazy because I'd get back to my hotel room after my shows, and I'd go to the on-demand, and the thumbnail for the event would be a guy celebrating.

I'm like, the whole fucking reason that I'm here is because anybody go into the video on demand, and the thumbnail would give it away. So I messaged Dana, I'm like, dude, this is driving me crazy. And he's like, I got the number one at ESPN, the number two at Disney's on it, and then it just got fixed.

Joe Rogan (2:56)

Oh, really?

Steve-O (2:56)

You fixed it.

Joe Rogan (2:58)

Congratulations.

That's actually a very wise solution. You really shouldn't have that. Because everybody who doesn't get a chance to see it live, they want to go to it and just watch it.

Steve-O (3:10)

Right. Now the remaining problem is that they break out all the fights individually.

So you see the duration. There's a little time code.

Joe Rogan (3:23)

That's an issue, yeah.

Steve-O (3:25)

So you know if it...

Joe Rogan (3:26)

You just got to not look at that.

Steve-O (3:29)

Right. I blur my eyes like...

But yeah, it's crazy, man. I'm a super fan, dude. I literally watch every fight.

Joe Rogan (3:39)

Yeah.

Obviously, I'm a giant fan. That style bender fight, how crazy was that?

Steve-O (3:44)

Really crazy.

Joe Rogan (3:45)

Dude, the way he responded to that loss is better than anybody ever. The dude shows up at the press conference with a fucking fur coat like a king, with his dope-ass watch on and just says, he got me, you know? I mean, he basically said, the hunter is now the hunted. I'm coming after him. I'm going to find a way to beat that dude. I was on my way to beating him, and he got me. And he was honest about all of it, about how Pahara landed a bunch of calf kicks early on, and it fucked up his leg and couldn't move right.

Yeah, those calf kicks have changed the fucking game.

I was talking to Michael Bisping, who was UFC champion, and he said that literally he got through his entire career before the calf kick came along, which is so wild when you think about that. He got through his whole career before the calf kick emerged, which is insane to think of, that this one area of the leg to kick, the only person that had ever really done it before that was Benson Henderson was pretty good at doing that, and Mighty Mouse had done it, to Henry Sohuto, and it happened to Michael Chandler and Bellator, but it wasn't like a staple, like everybody had to do it, and now everyone has to do it, and it just takes like one or two shots, and your leg is fucked.
