Trained by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day.

Joe Rogan (0:12)

Yep, what's up? What's up? When was the last time I saw you?

Sal Vulcano (0:15)

It was, I was here promoting my special, man, it was June of last year.

Joe Rogan (0:21)

Damn, time flies.

Sal Vulcano (0:22)

Yeah, yeah.

Joe Rogan (0:23)

A fucking whole year.

Sal Vulcano (0:25)

I had another child since then even.

Joe Rogan (0:26)

Oh my goodness, congratulations. Thank you, dude. Look at you out there breeding.

Sal Vulcano (0:29)

Right, at this age.

SPEAKER_3 (0:30)

Contribute to the population.

Sal Vulcano (0:32)

How old are you? 40, I'll be 49 in November.

Joe Rogan (0:35)

Did you do the math like when your kid's 20?

Sal Vulcano (0:38)

Right, I've done every math. Every piece of math you could do. It's depressing.

Yeah, now I am, that's exactly what happened. I started with a trainer four weeks ago and just did all this blood work and taking all these scans and tests and stuff now just because I'm like, I have to, I have to be here as long as possible.

Joe Rogan (0:55)

It changes the game when you have children.

Sal Vulcano (0:58)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (0:58)

You can fuck off and do coke and heroin and fucking sleep.

Jamie (1:01)

Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_6 (1:02)

Luckily, I wasn't doing that.

Joe Rogan (1:04)

No, as soon as you have a kid, you're like, Oh my God, I want to leave my kid.

Sal Vulcano (1:07)

I was eating because I was an asshole.

Sal Vulcano (1:08)

Whatever, cereal.

Sal Vulcano (1:12)

I was like backing out of the drive without looking, but like now.

Joe Rogan (1:15)

Most of my Instagram algorithm is things that I shouldn't eat.

Sal Vulcano (1:18)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (1:19)

It's like sandwiches, sandwiches and pizza.

Sal Vulcano (1:21)

You have trouble with that stuff?

Joe Rogan (1:22)

No.

Sal Vulcano (1:23)

No, not at all.

Joe Rogan (1:24)

No, I don't have trouble. Yeah. I just know it's not good for you. Yeah. Mostly I eat good stuff.

Sal Vulcano (1:30)

What's like a, yeah, you're like an egg white.

Joe Rogan (1:34)

No, I eat yolks.

Sal Vulcano (1:36)

Okay.

Joe Rogan (1:36)

Yolks are the healthy part.

Sal Vulcano (1:37)

Yolks.

Joe Rogan (1:38)

Yeah. Yeah. I eat the whole egg, but I have chickens, so I eat fresh eggs.

Sal Vulcano (1:41)

Are you like a, do you have like a diet, like an Olympian?

Joe Rogan (1:45)

No.

Sal Vulcano (1:46)

Are you like weighing your food?

SPEAKER_3 (1:48)

No, no, no, no, no.

Joe Rogan (1:49)

I eat way too much. If I weighed my food, I'd be like, I eat for a 300 pound man.

SPEAKER_3 (1:54)

Yeah.

Sal Vulcano (1:54)

Was that because that's because of how much you exercise and stuff?

Joe Rogan (1:57)

It's still that, but it's also I'm a glutton.

Sal Vulcano (1:59)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (2:00)

I'm a glutton.

Sal Vulcano (2:00)

But you could do it.

Joe Rogan (2:01)

Yeah. I can get away with it. But I do eat a lot. Like if I go out to dinner, I will eat a large steak. I will have multiple sides of multiple appetizers. And then I look like I'm pregnant when I leave.

Sal Vulcano (2:16)

That's how you eat. Yeah. You just hang it down.

Joe Rogan (2:18)

I fucking eat a lot of food, man. It's not smart.

Sal Vulcano (2:22)

How do you burn all your calories? Is it all like jujitsu stuff or whatever?

Joe Rogan (2:27)

I do a lot of working out, but I also do intermittent fasting. I'm just smart about when to be a glutton and then when to back off. And I just don't keep my foot on the gas. That's all. But like when I go to New York, it's all Italian food. It's Italian food for like three days.

Sal Vulcano (2:42)

You got to. I can eat it every day.

Joe Rogan (2:44)

I could too. It's a problem.

SPEAKER_3 (2:46)

It's a problem.

Joe Rogan (2:47)

It's all Italian subs and pasta.

Sal Vulcano (2:50)

You have your favorite spots in New York?

Joe Rogan (2:53)

Oh, yeah. I got a bunch of spots. I got a bunch of spots. I got a spot in Vegas, too. We were just at this place, Gaetano's. It's all handmade pasta with imported flour from Italy. We ate there after the fights.

SPEAKER_6 (3:04)

Oh, my God.

Sal Vulcano (3:06)

I have to go there. I'm going I'm going through Vegas on. I'm still touring the tour that I was here with last. I started in 24 I'm going through till all the way through 26
