Joe Rogan (0:03)

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

Jeff Dye (0:12)

I'm trying to get to that.

Jamie (0:13)

Yeah, that's the key.

Jeff Dye (0:14)

But they're tricking me, Joe. They're baiting me in with the algorithm.

Jamie (0:18)

These motherfuckers. They get me too, they get me in the morning.

Jeff Dye (0:21)

I was just talking about it with Jamie.

Jamie (0:24)

Are we rolling? Yeah.

Jeff Dye (0:25)

I was just talking about it with him as like, I'm so good at like not carrying what people think, sort of. And then I find, no, I really care a lot. Like I'm like in a constant tug of war of that. Because I used to have Google Alerts on.

Jamie (0:41)

Oh no, for your name?

Jeff Dye (0:42)

Yeah. Yeah, and then I had to get rid of that.

Jamie (0:45)

Oh, how dare you.

Jeff Dye (0:46)

Then I was like I'm gonna check the YouTube comments. So that was a ring that I had to close. I'm slowly closing the rings. The ring I'm stuck in right now is checking what like my comedy peers are up to, you know that kind of stuff. The one they make videos.

Jamie (0:59)

Oh no, let me get you a cigar.

Jeff Dye (1:01)

The videos they make of like uh, so and so is having a breakdown or Mark Maron said this or those kind of like those rings, you know. But I need to close that.

I want to have none of it. I don't want to check any comments or anything.

Jamie (1:17)

I'm much better at this stuff than I ever have been in the past of avoiding most things that are annoying. But every now and then one will sneak in and then I'll be like, why did I let that sneak in? Why did I let that bother me?

Jeff Dye (1:29)

Yeah, I texted you, yeah, I was going, hey check this out, he goes, don't send me shit like this.

Jamie (1:33)

The Ronda Rousey one didn't really bother me.

Jeff Dye (1:35)

Okay, good.

Jamie (1:35)

I mean, I know what that is. You know, like she's a fucking pit bull, man. That's the type of human...

Jeff Dye (1:44)

Thanks, brother.

Jamie (1:44)

You're welcome.

Jeff Dye (1:45)

Do you mind if I tell you my opinion of Ronda Rousey and you tell me if I'm right or not?

Jamie (1:48)

You go ahead.

Jeff Dye (1:49)

Because you know what you're talking about and I am not a UFC. I like UFC, but I don't... You know these things. So I've always said like Ronda Rousey was a badass and was awesome at fighting when there was like 30 girls doing it professionally at her level, right? That's why I said I might be wrong. But then there was probably all these girls who could really fight all over the world, like in Japan and in other countries and even maybe even in America, they just weren't in UFC. They're like, I could probably beat this chick.

And now that there's so many women competing on this level, like Ronda Rousey probably isn't in her prime as badass as like the field.

Jamie (2:29)

Well, it's very difficult to when someone's a pioneer, she's a legitimate pioneer, it's very difficult to compare them to the people that have had a chance to study the pioneers and then advance the sport.

Jeff Dye (2:43)

Right.

Jamie (2:43)

So what she was is, here you go. She's a legend. I mean, I got nothing but love and respect for that lady. What she did was so impressive. She was the first legitimate female superstar. She made the UFC female division possible. If it wasn't for her, Dana was very open about never having female UFC fighters. It took someone that was that dynamic, that was that special to open his eyes and go, you know what? I think this lady is a star. And to be the type, like when she said, like I wasn't an expert, everyone's entitled to their opinion, you know? But you got to understand why she thinks like that. Cause she's a fucking, she has a champion mentality. You never fought, you ain't shit. You know, it's like, it's real simple.

Jeff Dye (3:31)

The football guys always do that. You didn't play? You're like, yeah, but I studied the sport.

Jamie (3:34)

Doesn't matter, you ain't shit. I get it. It's totally fine. You can't judge her, like compare her to like Zhang Weili, because like Zhang Weili, who was the 115-pound champion, she had a chance to watch all these other people learn what they're doing right, what they're doing wrong, what's effective, what's not effective. What Rhonda had is world-class judo, world-class bronze medalist in the Olympics. One of the best arm bars, period, in the sport, in the history of the sport. Her fucking arm bar, the technique was flawless. There's a fight with her and Kat Zingano.
