Joe Rogan (0:00)

Ready?

Four, three, two, one. Boom, and we're live. You were just telling me how your son is getting into Bruce Lee, because we were looking at this... Shout out to... How do you pronounce his name correctly?

Eddie Bravo (0:17)

Bruce Lee.

Joe Rogan (0:18)

No, Plasticelle, the Plasticelle dude.

SPEAKER_3 (0:22)

I don't know which of the two actually made it, but yeah, Plasticelle, I believe is the name of the name.

Joe Rogan (0:25)

But, I mean, how do you pronounce the artist's name?

SPEAKER_3 (0:27)

I think it was Fung?

Joe Rogan (0:29)

Yeah.

Shout out to Fung. This thing is the shit. His art is amazing. These little Plasticelle things. Look at the story of McDonald. How great is that?

Eddie Bravo (0:37)

Yeah, the whole line up is amazing. I mean, those are legends.

Joe Rogan (0:40)

Biggie, sunglasses come off.

Eddie Bravo (0:41)

Nothing but legends. But yeah, I wanted...

SPEAKER_3 (0:44)

How old is your son now?

Eddie Bravo (0:46)

He's six now. And you hear these stories constantly about people remembering the first time they saw a Bruce Lee movie. It's so epic. I'll never forget. My dad took me to the theater, blew my mind. Everyone's got a story. Joey's got his first time he saw Bruce Lee. So I wanted to make sure I didn't do that too early, because then he would forget, you know, because he forgets special moments we had together from like three years ago. I'm like, you don't remember that?

You know, it's so...

Joe Rogan (1:17)

Because he's only five, right?

Eddie Bravo (1:18)

He's six.

Joe Rogan (1:19)

He's six. Imagine how quick your brain is growing in that amount of years.

Eddie Bravo (1:22)

He forgot a lot of shit, you know, but anyways.

So, I thought maybe I'm going to hit him with the... I'm going to sit him down and put on Enter the Dragon and blow his fucking mind.

But I don't want to do a tour. Like, when do I do it? I'm like thinking maybe I could even wait till he's 10 or 8 or whatever. You know, but he's been doing karate since he was three. So about three years now he's been doing karate and he took a nunchuck workshop class at that.

So he's got his little, you know, those padded nunchucks. He fucking loves those things, man. And I thought, shit, he's getting into the nunchucks. It might be a time to drop Bruce Lee on his ass right now. You know what I mean? I don't want him to get twisted. You know what I mean? Because he starts talking about Jackie Chan and shit like that. And I'm like, oh, I got it.

Joe Rogan (2:08)

Has he seen anybody do it on video or only learned it from a class?

Eddie Bravo (2:11)

This is what happened. So he's all into nunchucks. He's beat me up with them all the time. He loves nunchucks. And I said, oh, then I wore one of those Roots of Fight shirts. And it was Bruce Lee with nunchucks, right? And he looked at my shirt and he said, Daddy, who's the guy with the nunchucks? And I thought, okay, it's time.

It's time. Son, sit down.

So, you know, kids are so easily brainwashed. I can get my kid into Satanism.

Joe Rogan (2:43)

You ever seen this little kid?

Eddie Bravo (2:44)

Yeah, yeah, he's amazing. He's amazing.

Joe Rogan (2:46)

He's got the Bruce Lee outfit on and everything, the jumpsuit. This kid is a beast.

Eddie Bravo (2:50)

He's amazing. And he's got the Game of Death sequence down.

Joe Rogan (2:54)

It says the video is my son, in parentheses, a five-year-old acting Bruce Lee's Nunchukah scene.

Eddie Bravo (3:02)

Yeah, yeah, he reenacts the whole thing, note for note. I think he was on like America's Got Talent or some shit too.

Wow. So I sat him down and I explained to him, I go, the master of the Nunchucks, the number one guy, you know, like I was saying earlier, you could get kids to believe in anything. You could bring, I could get my son into Satan easily. He'd be all about Lucifer. Boom, I got him into the Browns quick. Yeah, little kids, you know.

Joe Rogan (3:30)

Very malleable.

Eddie Bravo (3:31)

Yeah, totally. He's so into the Dodgers because his grandpa is into the Dodgers. So he's all about the Dodgers. And I got him into the Browns. He's all into the Browns now too, because I could get him into anything.

So I sat him down and I say, I'm gonna sit you down and I'm gonna show you the master of the nunchucks, and it's Bruce Lee. He's number one.
