SPEAKER_2 (2:03)

Joe Rogan Podcast, checking in.

SPEAKER_3 (2:05)

The Joe Rogan Experience.

SPEAKER_2 (2:07)

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

Joe Rogan (2:14)

Gentlemen, we still don't have a name for this.

Matt Serra (2:16)

We're not the Cucks, right?

SPEAKER_6 (2:18)

What was wrong with the Cucks?

Joe Rogan (2:19)

Cucks is okay.

SPEAKER_7 (2:21)

Protect your neck.

Joe Rogan (2:22)

I think Protect Your Neck is best. That's the best one.

Din Thomas (2:25)

Yeah, let's go with Protect Your Neck.

John Rallo (2:26)

I'm down with that.

Joe Rogan (2:26)

Protect Your Neck is a good one.

Din Thomas (2:27)

Yeah, I'm down for that.

John Rallo (2:28)

Protect Your Neck. Wu Tang theme song.

Joe Rogan (2:30)

Yeah, Wu Tang.

Din Thomas (2:31)

Perfect. Protect Your Neck. Yeah, the theme song is already done for us.

John Rallo (2:34)

Exactly.

Din Thomas (2:34)

You got it.

Joe Rogan (2:35)

There's two Wu Tang songs I always listen to when I'm going to an arena, when I'm doing a show. It's Protect Your Neck and Gravel Pit. Those two, they just get you in the groove. Yeah, get you going. Especially Gravel Pit. Oh, there it is. This is our theme song, boys. I like it. That's all we got without getting kicked off of YouTube. Even that might get us in trouble. You all right there, Rallo?

SPEAKER_6 (2:57)

Are you fingering that skull?

John Rallo (2:59)

Yeah, not hearing anything right now.

Joe Rogan (3:00)

All right, we're going to pause real quick, see if Jamie can fix this. We'll pause.

Din Thomas (3:04)

Can you hear it now, Rallo?

John Rallo (3:06)

Yes, sir.

Matt Serra (3:06)

Hey, you know what we never tried?

Joe Rogan (3:09)

What?

Matt Serra (3:10)

The smelling salts.

SPEAKER_6 (3:11)

We got them right here.

Joe Rogan (3:12)

We got to show Dean the sheathing.

SPEAKER_6 (3:15)

Oh, what is the fucking sheathing?

Joe Rogan (3:17)

It's when metal rings.

Matt Serra (3:19)

We were all talking about it. I want to see that shit.

Joe Rogan (3:20)

The three of us have rings on with the rubber. Look at this.

Din Thomas (3:28)

You know my chicken wings.

John Rallo (3:31)

Don't wear a ring on the mat.

Joe Rogan (3:35)

Turn it off. Don't wear a ring to the gym. You could drop a weight on it or rip your finger off. You wear these. Yeah, yeah. These are great.

John Rallo (3:43)

These are great.

Joe Rogan (3:44)

These are great.

Din Thomas (3:44)

Just don't wear nothing.

SPEAKER_6 (3:45)

That way you could cheat, too.

Joe Rogan (3:48)

I think the goofiest looking one is the tattooed ring.

Din Thomas (3:51)

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Joe Rogan (3:52)

That one's goofy. It's almost as bad as the bicep with the fucking chain with the, you know, the old school barbed wire.

Matt Serra (4:02)

I'm actually, I'm actually wearing my Marvel ring. It says Marvel on it.

Din Thomas (4:06)

There you go. Good man.

SPEAKER_9 (4:08)

It does actually say Marvel on it. This fucking dork, I'm wearing a dork. It's nice though, when I get handed with the rubber rings, I can just fling it at her.
