Joe Rogan (0:04)

The Joe Rogan Experience.

And we're up, yeah, if you have to pee, that's the key to this. You can't talk when you have to pee, because if you do, you're not gonna, nothing's gonna come out right. You're just gonna be concentrating on peeing.

Aaron Rodgers (0:24)

Such a good conversation, I was like, go out there and pee so bad, if I stop, is it gonna happen?

Joe Rogan (0:28)

I've learned, I've learned, you just gotta let it go.

Aaron Rodgers (0:30)

Did Ari really pee in the fucking?

Joe Rogan (0:33)

Oh, always, yeah, he pees in everything. He pees in whiskey jugs, he pees in kombucha bottles. He's a psychopath.

Aaron Rodgers (0:41)

It's like my buddy AJ Hawk, he'll be doing the podcast, and he's like just pissing in a Gatorade bottle. I'm like, how many of those you got up in the fucking attic? He's like, oh, I stopped doing that, I'm like, yeah, right.

Joe Rogan (0:52)

When Matt Serra was fighting in the UFC, he used to drink so much water that he would have to get up in the middle of the night to pee all the time, so he put a bucket by the side of his bed.

Aaron Rodgers (1:02)

And just leaned off?

Joe Rogan (1:03)

Yeah, he just leaned off and pissed in something. I think maybe he had a jug, like a one gallon empty jug.

Aaron Rodgers (1:09)

I had a teammate who would piss himself in practice and games, and then spray a bunch of water to make it like he didn't piss himself.

Joe Rogan (1:15)

What? That's a guy committed to winning.

Aaron Rodgers (1:21)

I was like, oh, hey, Max is doing it again. Max was like, fuck, what is he doing?

Joe Rogan (1:24)

Did he let you guys know he was doing it?

Aaron Rodgers (1:26)

He, at one point, somebody's like, what the fuck is that? Did you piss yourself? It's like, yeah. Like, how long have you been doing that since college?

Joe Rogan (1:35)

Jesus Christ.

Aaron Rodgers (1:36)

What the fuck is wrong with you?

Joe Rogan (1:37)

He just throws water on it?

Aaron Rodgers (1:38)

He just sprays it, like takes the water and puts it in his mouth and like sprays it down there. Like, we know, Max, we know. What the fuck is wrong with you?

Joe Rogan (1:48)

Fucking athletes. You have to be a fucking crazy person.

Aaron Rodgers (1:51)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (1:52)

You mean, especially, I mean, your line of work, you're playing like, other than fighting, it's the most dangerous game.

Aaron Rodgers (2:00)

Yeah, fighting a little more dangerous.

Joe Rogan (2:02)

Yeah, fighting's more dangerous.

But not necessarily, you know, like overall impacts. The kind of impacts.

Aaron Rodgers (2:11)

More concussions, though.

Joe Rogan (2:12)

In fighting? Yeah, I would imagine. Just the sparring and training. That's the thing that people don't really take into consideration, how many times guys get hit in the head training. Depending on what gym they're from and how the gym operates, some guys, they go really hard in the gym.

And, you know.

Aaron Rodgers (2:30)

That's a lot of micro concussions over and over. And then if you got one, then you get another hit.

Joe Rogan (2:36)

Do you ever spend any time in hyperbaric chambers?

Aaron Rodgers (2:38)

Yeah, I did a bunch.

Joe Rogan (2:40)

Yeah.

Aaron Rodgers (2:40)

I did a bunch for my rehab. It was awesome.

Joe Rogan (2:43)

It helps a lot, yeah.

Aaron Rodgers (2:44)

I think so. I mean, a lot of it's, I think, anecdotal.

But I know there's research. But it wasn't like I felt like, oh my God, I feel fucking incredible. It's like, no, I think it's helping. Everything's helping.

Joe Rogan (2:55)

Yeah.

There was some research that was done in Israel about lengthening of telomeres, where they put people on this protocol. I think it was like a 90-day protocol where they did 60 sessions in 90 days, and it showed that their telomere length increased, which was consistent to a change in age, a biological age of 20 years.

Aaron Rodgers (3:18)

20?

Joe Rogan (3:19)

Yeah.

Aaron Rodgers (3:20)

I'm gonna jump in that thing.

Joe Rogan (3:21)

I know.

Aaron Rodgers (3:22)

Jeez.

Joe Rogan (3:23)

I don't know whether that, I mean, I've talked to Peter Atti about that. He's like, that doesn't necessarily mean you're 20 years younger. It's probably beneficial, but there's like, you know, but Peter's like very hard-nosed, like, buy the books, science. He doesn't leave any room for fuckery. He was like late. He was late on the bandwagon for peptides. He's like, I don't know.
