Fight Companion - September 16, 2017

Joe Rogan (0:05)

Boom, and we're live, ladies and gentlemen, with special guest, Little Jimmy Norton.

Little Jimmy, I didn't think you was gonna be here. This is a total surprise, this is awesome.

Jim Norton (0:14)

Yeah, I'm shooting something tomorrow, and I wanted to watch the fights. I'm like, I didn't think you'd be in town. You're always off, like every time I call, he's like, ah, he's away, he's hunting, he's unreachable.

And I'm just happy that you got back to me.

Joe Rogan (0:24)

Yeah, dude, it was perfect timing. We had decided a while ago, well, I was supposed to be out of town, too.

And then I decided to come back and make it back in time for this. I'm like, wow, we should definitely do a Fight Companion. So we decided to, but Eddie was available, luckily.

Eddie Bravo (0:42)

Yes, Eddie Bravo, Eddie Bravo is here. Should be watching the UFC right now.

Joe Rogan (0:46)

Yeah, we are gonna watch two different things at the same time, folks. This should be fucking complete chaos.

The deal is that the Canelo-Alvarez fight is supposed to start at eight o'clock. That's what they've been pushing.

And I think they're doing that because they're trying to get a lot of people on the East Coast to buy it, because after 11 p.m. you're like, Jesus Christ, I want to go to sleep. Because they were doing them a lot of times at like 9 p.m. 9.30. It's fucking midnight in New York.

Jim Norton (1:10)

Yeah, it's crazy.

Joe Rogan (1:11)

You're tired.

Jim Norton (1:12)

Even on Saturday, people can do it, but it's tough when it goes on 11, 12 o'clock at night.

Joe Rogan (1:17)

It's not wise, especially with boxing, because boxing has weak undercards. I'm not necessarily saying that this is a weak fight, but even if they have a good undercard, what do they have, like two fights?

I mean, how many fights do they have? You don't want to see more than that on like a pay-per-view.

Eddie Bravo (1:33)

The worst part is when you watch one of these fights on the East Coast, by the time you get out the arena, get your car, you have time for one drink maybe, and then they shut down bars.

Joe Rogan (1:42)

Well, the good thing is, in the East Coast, they shut down bars at four.

Eddie Bravo (1:46)

Out here, you can go back to your hotel room, take a shower, take a little power nap, and then you're ready to go to the after party, right?

Joe Rogan (1:52)

Yeah, it's over at like 10-ish.

Eddie Bravo (1:53)

It's way better.

Joe Rogan (1:54)

Yeah, it's way better.

Jim Norton (1:55)

I never watch boxing anymore either. I watched Conor and Floyd just to watch it, but I never watch, but I think I watched the last Triple G fight. That's it.

Joe Rogan (2:02)

I watch all of his fights, and I watch all Canelo's fights.

And you know what's weird? It's when you're watching a guy start to slow down. Like I watched Miguel Cotto's fight, and he won, but he's getting hit more than he used to get hit. He's like 36 now, you know? I don't think they have UFC style testing though. They don't have like USADA. They don't have a Jeff Nowitzki. So these guys can get away with a lot more.

It's a little slippery with like-

Eddie Bravo (2:27)

Right, I don't think they do steroids in boxing.

Joe Rogan (2:30)

That's hilarious.

Eddie Bravo (2:33)

It's illegal.

Joe Rogan (2:34)

Dude, you know what you gotta see?

Icarus. I don't know how you say it. Is it Icarus or Icarus?

Jim Norton (2:39)

I see a- Oh, you are? Yeah, but I would say that.

Joe Rogan (2:42)

It's one of those words that I've only read.

Eddie Bravo (2:43)

Is it a documentary?

Joe Rogan (2:44)

It's fucking amazing. And it's all on this Russian doctor that was like one of the top guys over there for steroids. And how much shit they can give you and you still test negative. Holy fuck, these guys are wizards.

This guy is they take this guy who's the main person in the documentary and they just pump them full of steroids. He's like, I want you to have a full CC of this and five of that. And he's shooting like six, seven things in his ass.

Eddie Bravo (3:10)

So they're filming an experiment.

Joe Rogan (3:12)

Yes, they're filming an experiment with this Russian guy who's responding. One of the things they said was that out of the Russian athletes, there was some estimate in the high 90s of percentage of people that are on steroids.
