the joe rogan experience train by day joe rogan podcast by night all day yeah So you're telling me about the scar you got on your forehead recently.
Yeah, I got into a bar fight with some, some guys were insulting a woman. Yeah, to take care of business, right? I had to take care of a bit of business. No, I fell off a scooter. I fell off a scooter. I was riding around Scottsdale feeling great and free because I'd never ridden a scooter before because I always thought that, we called them scooter nunces in the UK. And because there was no one around to see me, I just thought, oh, this is great. I could do this all the time. I just immediately fell flat on my face. Did you hit something? No, I saw what looked like a ramp, but it was a single step down. So I went flying through the air. And I remember when I landed, there was a weird moment when I landed where I thought, oh, that wasn't so bad.
I didn't screw myself up too badly. But then there was a second... And I remember thinking, oh, I'm dead. What was the second crunch? I don't know. Somehow I fell. Double. So you double fell. Yeah. Yeah. And, you know, I kind of like it because it makes me look how I feel internally.
Yeah.
Busted up and changed. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So did it break your nose? Oh, it did break my nose, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But, you know, it's one of those things. Again, as I say, I quite like it. I think it gives me some character. It doesn't mess you up. Yeah. You're fine. Yeah.
You know, it's just a thing. And I might stick with the story about the bar, you know. I think you already gave up the goods. The problem with a story like that is I'm always like, is that better to get the fuck beaten out of you by guys?
Like, maybe it's better to fall down. It's different if you're a fighter. I would imagine you wouldn't be too happy about it.
Yeah, I'd be very upset that I got my ass kicked.
Yeah, yeah.
Although that's happened many times. Yeah. The broken nose is a problem. Did you get your septum fixed and make sure that it's not all clogged up? I didn't.
You should.
I know, yeah. That is one that I tell fighters whenever they retire. I'm like, please get your nose fixed. It'll change the quality of your life so much.
Okay.
Because if you can't breathe out of your nose, you're missing out on a large percentage of cardio. Right. And not just cardio like for athletics, but just everyday life. You're not breathing out of your nose. You're not getting enough oxygen. Sure. You're probably oxygen depleted. And then you become one of them mouth open dudes.
You did a whole interview with a guy who does that, doesn't he? He kind of teaches himself to only breathe through his nose. James Nestor.
Yeah. He's got a great book called Breathe. For anybody who's fascinated by breathing techniques and how much it can help you, you can do a lot with breathing. It's just a thing that no one does because it's like, oh, I'll look into that and then you put it off and it never happens.
Absolutely, and I've got to be careful because that's how old age gets you. It doesn't get you in one go. You don't suddenly become this bent old man. It picks away at you. Things like falling off scooters and, you know what I mean, not getting it fixed. Things like that are what pick away at you.
Yeah, you've got to be ahead of it. You've got to be vigilant. Stay off the heroin, too. I hear that's bad for you. You don't see a lot of old heroin addicts.
No, there's a punk poet in the UK named John Cooper Clarke, who is a bit of a genius. And he was taking it recreationally for years. And he only gave it up because he said so many people were worried about me. I just couldn't deal with it. They were just worried about me. But he was one of these guys, I guess like Burroughs, William Burroughs, that he was able to just, you know... implement it in his life.
Well, I worked out with a guy who was a longshoreman, and he had this guy that he worked with that would shoot heroin at lunch every day. Wow. And he was fine. He worked fine on the job. He was totally functional. He would take his hour lunch break.
