JRE MMA Show #11 with John Danaher

Joe Rogan (0:06)

And we're live, John Danaher. Thank you very much, sir. Very nice to see you.

John Danaher (0:10)

It's my pleasure, Joe. Thank you for having me here.

Joe Rogan (0:12)

Nice to be with a fellow fanny pack proponent as well.

And now you have one of the beautiful higher primate leather bags. Like that, huh?

John Danaher (0:21)

Joe Rogan has just given me one of the most beautiful fanny packs that I've ever seen in my life.

I wear a very cheap fanny pack, and this is a thing of beauty. I was just telling Joe about my student Gordon Ryan was recently given a Gucci fanny pack. It's literally the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life. When he wears it around me, I get insanely jealous.

Joe Rogan (0:46)

But would you buy one of those? It's like an $800 fanny pack?

John Danaher (0:49)

Just on principle, I can't buy an $800 fanny pack, but I could definitely stab Gordon Ryan in the back with a knife and steal it from him and blame it on Nicky Ryan. I could do that easily.

Joe Rogan (0:58)

Blame it on his brother?

John Danaher (0:59)

Absolutely, make great TV series.

Joe Rogan (1:03)

The fanny pack is making a comeback. It's a slow comeback that a lot of people are reluctant to join. They're scared.

They worry about their position in the sexual food chain.

John Danaher (1:15)

With good reason, by the way.

Joe Rogan (1:16)

I don't know why. I feel like anybody that won't fuck you because you have a fanny pack, you don't want to fuck them. They're too much work.

John Danaher (1:23)

Strong point.

Joe Rogan (1:24)

Yeah, it's just not worth it.

John Danaher (1:25)

Essentially, it's always a battle of appearance versus function. Fanny packs score very, very low on appearance, but very high on function.

Joe Rogan (1:35)

I feel like that one bucks the trend.

John Danaher (1:38)

I think you're right. Between this and the Gucci, we've got something going on here.

Joe Rogan (1:41)

There's a video that I put up the other day of my archery game, this techno hunt thing, which is this big, crazy, elaborate thing. I got more comments on the fact that I was wearing a fanny pack in the video than anything.

John Danaher (1:53)

With a positive or negative comment.

Joe Rogan (1:54)

Mostly negative.

John Danaher (1:55)

Yeah, but that's my experience.

Joe Rogan (1:57)

But that's just the internet. The internet is...

John Danaher (2:00)

The internet is extremely angry. That's the first thing you learn about the internet. They... You can, you could literally save a baby's life.

And 80% of the internet will call you an asshole for doing so. It doesn't matter what you do. The internet is very angry.

Joe Rogan (2:16)

Well, what the internet is, is it shows what people are like when there's no social cues, when they're not in front of you, they don't have to deal with like looking you in the eye, and what weird little hidden demons of jealousy and anger and resentment.

John Danaher (2:32)

And it's a pretty sad story, isn't it? If that's what we're really like, it's not looking good for the human race.

Joe Rogan (2:38)

I just think it's the kind of people that comment in general.

John Danaher (2:42)

What it shows you is that 99% of what we call human goodness and politeness really comes out of fear of consequences.

Joe Rogan (2:49)

There's a lot of that, for sure.

John Danaher (2:50)

Because there's no consequences when you talk online.

Joe Rogan (2:52)

But I think it's the quality of the people that are making those kind of comments. Like I would say, if you look at YouTube comments, Michael Jordan is not leaving YouTube comments.

The people that leave YouTube comments and bitch and complain about things, usually everything's not going so fantastic in their own life.

But they have this forum now where they feel like, if there's a video that has three million downloads, they also are on that video. They are there in the comments section. You go to that, they're a part of that. Unqualified, no one asked them to be there. Literally, all you have to do is make an account. No one has to know anything about your education, the way your mind works, what you've done with your life, what mistakes you've made. Doesn't matter. You are olfuck66, and that's your name. And you can say whatever you want. And your comments are right there with everything else.

John Danaher (3:44)

Yes, it's fascinating to watch.

Joe Rogan (3:46)

It's very egalitarian. But in a lot of ways, it's also, it's like, boy, I don't know if that's the best way to get your information.
