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

SPEAKER_3 (0:14)

Good to see you, brother.

Joe Rogan (0:15)

What's happening?

SPEAKER_3 (0:16)

We were talking about golf, and Jamie, who's a full-blown addict.

Joe Rogan (0:21)

What's up? I feel like everyone is now.

SPEAKER_3 (0:25)

So you're saying Gagey is fully hooked.

Joe Rogan (0:27)

Oh, fully hooked. It's crazy. He, yeah, I don't know. Do you know what Fanatics Fest is?

SPEAKER_3 (0:33)

No.

Joe Rogan (0:34)

So Fanatics Fest is, I was just at it on Sunday, but it's just like a, it's like kind of like Comic-Con, but for athletes. And Gagey got to do like the Fanatics Game, which is like a celebrity thing, where it's like 50 pro athletes do it, 50 normal people, and they compete in a bunch of sports or whatever. He said he won because he was good at golf, so the fucking guy won a Ferrari. Because he got second place. Tom Brady got first, he got a million dollars. And then like a normal, non-professional athlete got third place, got like 200k.

SPEAKER_3 (1:03)

Whoa. He's got a Ferrari?

Joe Rogan (1:05)

Yeah, dude, golf got him.

SPEAKER_3 (1:06)

Holy shit.

Joe Rogan (1:06)

Golf got him this fucking Ferrari.

SPEAKER_3 (1:09)

I think he took... Holy shit.

Joe Rogan (1:10)

Yeah. So that kind of just enforced his addiction more than...

SPEAKER_3 (1:15)

Damn, he's that good?

Joe Rogan (1:17)

Yeah, he's pretty good. I mean, I don't know shit about golf, but from what I know...

SPEAKER_3 (1:20)

Bill told me, DC told me that he started off and he was just kind of OK, but over the time between the Holloway fight and his fight with Faziv, he didn't do anything but play golf for a year. He played like 260 days in a row, and he said his handicap just kept getting better and better and better and better. He said the next time he played, he was like, holy shit, he's really good now.

Joe Rogan (1:41)

Sounds about right.

SPEAKER_3 (1:42)

Makes sense, though. He's a psycho.

Joe Rogan (1:44)

He is a psycho. Yeah.

SPEAKER_3 (1:45)

Completely dedicated to something.

Joe Rogan (1:47)

And he's single.

SPEAKER_3 (1:49)

He's going to excel. If that guy gets his mind on something, he's going to excel. Yeah.

Joe Rogan (1:54)

He's a unique dude for sure. I've really liked because obviously, I started working with Whitman not too long ago. I've really enjoyed getting to know that crew, like Trevor, Gagey, Kamaru.

SPEAKER_3 (2:04)

Trevor is a unique guy.

Joe Rogan (2:06)

Yeah. All of those guys are pretty unique in their own way.

SPEAKER_3 (2:08)

He makes the best fucking MMA gloves that have ever been made, and the UFC should have bought them out a long time ago. I think he wanted some crazy amount of money or something, I think it was like some nutty deal. Unfortunate.

Joe Rogan (2:21)

I know, I know.

SPEAKER_3 (2:23)

They should have just licensed it. They should have just made some sort of a deal, like we'll sell the gloves, you make the money.

Joe Rogan (2:29)

Yeah.

SPEAKER_3 (2:29)

Let's just get the athletes the best gloves bought. They're so much better.

Joe Rogan (2:33)

They're way better. Yeah, the foaming them is really good.

SPEAKER_3 (2:35)

The shape is better. The protection of your hands is better.

Joe Rogan (2:39)

Yeah, Trevor is one of those guys where I'm kind of similar too. Like most things aren't stimulating enough, like TV, kind of playing on my phone isn't really super stimulating to me. So like, he's always like doing something. So he's always like making shit. But he'd be when I would go into onyx, he'd just be in the back like with a smile, like working on the gloves like every single morning that he's there. And the style that they have is real cool. People keep asking me when they're going to come out with them. And I think he's getting pretty close.

SPEAKER_3 (3:09)

I just really wish that him and the UFC could make a deal.

Joe Rogan (3:12)

I know.

SPEAKER_3 (3:12)

Because they spent so much time and money to develop those new gloves. And then they threw them out.

Joe Rogan (3:17)

Yeah. I hate that too. I like the new ones.

SPEAKER_3 (3:19)

Did you?

Joe Rogan (3:20)

I have really thin... like my hands aren't massive like some of these guys. The old ones are better for like if you have like a really thick hand, the old ones are way better. But I have a thin hand dude and those things used to fit me like perfectly. Because the old ones when I would make a fist, they would stick out like this much. But the new ones they would be like perfect. So I can make a fist and not have this like really awkward big space right there.
