Joe Rogan (0:02)

Yee-haw, Happy New Year, friends.

Eddie Bravo (0:04)

Happy New Year.

Eddie Bravo (0:06)

Oh, shit.

Joe Rogan (0:07)

Boys, good to see you. Bryan Callen is allegedly on the way. We've got all kinds of libations here.

And what the fuck were we just talking about? I said save it, I said don't save it.

Brendan Schaub (0:19)

Bodies, what do they do with the bodies?

Joe Rogan (0:21)

There was something before that.

Brendan Schaub (0:22)

Mines, fields, sides of Paris.

Joe Rogan (0:25)

No, it was even before that.

Brendan Schaub (0:26)

Meat, carnivore diet.

Joe Rogan (0:28)

Oh, okay, maybe it's that.

Yeah, so I'm 10 days in, I think. Something like that. Today's the 9th, so I'm 11 days in. I started a couple of days before, and I've been eating nothing but meat. Bacon, steak, elk meat, a lot of extra fat. If I eat the elk meat, I eat a lot of bacon.

Brendan Schaub (0:44)

How's that cholesterol, son?

Joe Rogan (0:45)

I don't know. I got my blood work done last Monday.

I'll get the results back soon, and then I'm gonna do it again at the end of the month. But I've already lost seven pounds.

Brendan Schaub (0:54)

You feel good?

Joe Rogan (0:55)

Dude, I feel slim.

Brendan Schaub (0:57)

You look good. When he came in, I was like, he's looking tight.

Boy's thick.

Joe Rogan (1:01)

I lost my belly. I had a gut. I was getting a gut.

This is where I get fat instantly, right here. It goes right here, and then it starts pushing out.

Eddie Bravo (1:09)

I think all dudes do, right?

Joe Rogan (1:11)

I don't know. Some people get it in their face. I get it in my face too. I feel it in my face when I'm washing my face. My face feels smaller.

Brendan Schaub (1:17)

I get it in both.

Joe Rogan (1:18)

But that's where you feel your face. You're like, damn, my face feels smaller. You know the shape of your face.

Can you wash your face every day? So you get in there, and you're like, oh, this is like less face.

Brendan Schaub (1:28)

Also, a fat face is a bummer.

Joe Rogan (1:30)

It's a bummer.

Eddie Bravo (1:30)

I'm fatter than I've been ever. I'm like 190 right now.

Joe Rogan (1:34)

Jesus.

But here's the thing that's good about it. I'll tell you what's bad about it first. Diarrhea is rough. And eating only steak gets boring. I like diarrhea. But the kind of diarrhea that I'm talking about is like confusing. It's like you gotta run. Like you do not trust your butthole. It's like, you know, it's not telling you until the fire's at the door.

It's not seeing the fire in the horizon. And warning you to get to the bathroom. It's like the fire is making your doorknob hot.

Eddie Bravo (2:03)

What if you're starving, you're far from home, and there's a Burger King and that's it. There's a Burger King for the next...

Joe Rogan (2:10)

I'll just order four Whoppers, and then I'll take the meat out of them, and I'll just eat the meat.

Eddie Bravo (2:16)

That's it.

Joe Rogan (2:17)

Yeah. I'm gonna do it for the whole month. I had an olive. I guess I cheated a little. How dare you?

Brendan Schaub (2:22)

Fuck, dude.

Joe Rogan (2:23)

Yeah, you know, I've had a glass of wine here and there, and I guess that's, you know, but that's just drinking things.

Brendan Schaub (2:29)

Why did you decide to do it?

Joe Rogan (2:30)

I want to see what's up. Because I know a lot of people that I respect that have tried, like Jordan Peterson in particular, that guy's a fucking genius. And when he's telling me what a massive impact it's had on them, cognitively, he said that intellectually, he's at his prime. He said all of his immune system, autoimmune issues went away. And that's, vitiligo is an autoimmune issue.

So I'm seeing what happens with that too, but that isn't really spreading any.

But with him, he was having gum issues, receding gums, that went away. His gums actually came back.

Brendan Schaub (3:01)

Didn't his daughter, wasn't his daughter sick too? That's why they started it?

Joe Rogan (3:04)

She's got serious arthritis, like really bad.

Brendan Schaub (3:07)

But it helped it, right?

Joe Rogan (3:09)

See, this is what it is.

It's an elimination diet. So instead of your diet breaking down a bunch of different things, it's just breaking down one thing. And this one thing that human beings have been eating since the beginning of time.
