Joe Rogan (0:12)

Bryan Callen (0:14)

A slobber knocker!?

Joe Rogan (0:16)

So, with me here, if you've never heard the Fight Companion before, you're like, great, what's a Fight Companion?

Sort of a podcast. It is definitely a podcast. But we're sort of watching the fights and calling the fights, but probably most likely not that much. But it's fun.

Bryan Callen (0:33)

And the nonsense meter hits red hot.

Joe Rogan (0:35)

It gets as high as it ever gets, ever, in the history of us.

Eddie Bravo (0:39)

Eddie Bravo is here?

Joe Rogan (0:40)

Eddie Bravo, fresh out of recovery. His fucking back is beautiful. Ladies and gentlemen, there's some fucking new technology going on. Eddie Bravo has dis replaced.

We're going to get to that. Bryan Callen is here.

Bryan Callen (0:56)

Clean shaven, clean shaven.

All Pro P shit out. Look at that hair.

Joe Rogan (1:02)

You look beautiful.

Bryan Callen (1:02)

Thanks, buddy.

Joe Rogan (1:04)

The Brendan motherfucking Schaub is in the building.

Bryan Callen (1:07)

The biggest, strongest guy in the room. And handsome and young.

That's right.

Joe Rogan (1:14)

I got to show you guys something because yesterday changed my fucking world.

Bryan Callen (1:17)

Okay.

Joe Rogan (1:20)

I did Duncan Trussell's podcast and he introduced me to the world of virtual reality goggles. Holy shit. I'm going to show you something. I'm going to show you this game.

This is a boxing game. Look up in the upper left hand corner.

Bryan Callen (1:35)

All right.

Joe Rogan (1:36)

This is a boxing game. So I have these gloves on and it's kind of wacky because the gloves aren't the way you punch, you're holding on to these handles and I'm fighting this Russian boxing coach dude.

Bryan Callen (1:49)

Your punching looks good.

Joe Rogan (1:50)

It's okay. But here's what's goofy about it.

In order for your fist to be level, like parallel with the ground, you have to hold them like this.

Brendan Schaub (1:58)

Like a joystick almost.

Joe Rogan (1:59)

Yeah. So you're looking at your fit. Like if you're holding your hands like this. If you're holding your hands with your, like your, the heel of your hand facing the ground and your thumbs up in the air. Right. Like you're skiing.

If you're holding your hands like that, your punches are parallel with the floor.

So it's, it's twisted.

Bryan Callen (2:19)

Oh, that's weird.

Joe Rogan (2:19)

We should fix that. Yeah. They should make it so that you could hold your hand like an actual punch.

Bryan Callen (2:24)

Right.

Joe Rogan (2:24)

So like wherever your hands are, that's where your gloves are. So I'm holding it like this and I'm punching like this. It's real weird.

Cause you're not.

Bryan Callen (2:32)

It looks like really good exercise though.

Joe Rogan (2:33)

Oh, it's real good exercise. Is that a prototype?

You can go out and buy that. Yes, you can buy that. There's a bunch of games for these things now. But here's my point.

I was moving around this guy. Like he's throwing punches at me. I'm moving around. I kept hitting him in the back of the head. I would sneak around behind him and beat him in the back of the head and uppercut him.

And I'm doing this and I'm like, oh, my footwork's all awkward. I didn't know what I was doing. I felt weird like I'm in this virtual world. But after I did it a few times, I started to get the feeling of it. I'm like, this is an amazing shadow boxing program. That's pretty sick.

I think you can do Muay Thai with it too. I think you could have it so that you could throw kicks because it was getting me, it was getting all my movement from these two cameras that Duncan has set up in the room. They're motion detectors. So the cameras, they scan you when you're standing there and then they build a perimeter around you and there's a blue line on the ground. You look down and you're in this 3D world, but you see this blue line on the ground. You can't go past that blue line because that's the amount of free space that you have in your area.

Brendan Schaub (3:29)

Can you imagine if you could download the opponent you're going to fight and they can shadow box against them?

Joe Rogan (3:33)

Exactly.

That's amazing. What he was saying is if you could make a training simulation of a guy, you could fight him a hundred times before you ever actually fight him.
