The rush is on.
I think people just don't understand the extent to which jiu-jitsu provides you with an advantage over the untrained.

Obviously a 50-year-old Gracie black belt isn't going to stand up to the BJJ world champion, but if you don't think they can absolutely dominate almost everyone they come across, you've never rolled with a black belt.

With that plus his professional tae kwon do fights, how is it remotely controversial that Joe Rogan is a very good fighter compared to the average person?

What are you even loving arguing about anymore?

This all came up because you couldn't see how he's considered fit or healthy for a dude over 50.

That he has black belts in TKD and BJJ isn't conjecture.

He's a 53 year old pot smoking martial artist podcaster who goes to the gym a lot, takes a questionable amount of supplements and who professionally commentates on mma when he's not doing stand up. It's not a stretch to see why idiots listen to him and why it's dumb as hell for him to say people in their early 20s shouldn't get vaccinated.

He has 2 black belts from 2 of the best different bjj schools and has fought professionally and you think hes a faux athlete? I know people who have rolled with him and hes legit.

You are dumb as rocks.

There are 400,000 black belts on the planet, if you are being super generous.

That makes him in the top 0.005% of the people on the planet at bjj. Not only am I confident that if you put him in the ring with anyone in the bottom 99% of people, he would win, Id say easily 99.9% of people.

Its a funny time to be alive when were having arguments about joe rogan, of all things.

Rogan's buddy Bret Weinstein and his self-proclaimed "full TERF" wife are backing up Rogan on his vaccine comments, arguing that there's a "strong scientific case" for young people not being vaccinated. They'll be putting that forth on their popular podcast. Note that while Weinstein's accomplishments include grossly misrepresenting what happened at Evergreen, as well as slandering a Nobel laureate on his brother's podcast to the point that said laureate had to disable their social media, his accomplishments do NOT include any attainments of medical expertise. gently caress all these people.

Mike Tyson is 54 and would wreck any of us in a fight.

He also has dumb opinions and is not a healthy individual.

Yeah, I Don't Speak German (a good leftist podcast that mostly covers neo-Nazis) recently dedicated two episodes to her. Most of these IDW types are roughly the same age, and I wonder if they all collectively huffed too much leaded gasoline when they were kids or something.

The two things I sorta liked from what was his "classic" studio look were A) The three mugshots of Rosa Parks, Jimi Hendrix and Elvis Presley he had in his back. B) It looks like he had the same insulation that reminds me a lot of Studio A from Steve Albini's Electrical Audio Studio, which is my favorite recording studio in the US.

Personally I'd think of a lockdown as what they did in Paris where you could only go 1km away from your apartment and all the things closed except the few that didn't because people need to eat food

Yeah a lockdown has heavily restricted movement and monitored quarantine for travelers. Even in the most heavily restricted states you could go anywhere and come back and they'd go "uhh pretty please quarantine for two weeks".

I've come to understand through the podcast that comedy isn't just telling jokes to make people laugh, but is often times just simply stating the most racist things you can think of and being offended that people might not be interested in hearing that again.
