Morgan Chan Travis Culpepper I know he is so impressive, but he’s a cheat, factually and technically. If you want to take a minute of your time and look at BJ Penn’s case against GSP (used Vaseline to avoid being grappled fairly). Just take one minute to google it and then believe what you want. This isn’t a martial artist
Its a thing of beauty isn't it, a lot of guys try to come across as "smarter than though" but he comes across so personable for what he's done. Super real and awesome
Dude the ending of this podcast is so funny... George had no idea he just sat there for 3 hours and missed his appointment with Freddie Roach but he was so focused on learning the spinning back kick from Joe after lmao that had me dying
I never heard an athlete speak with such enlightenment and truth. His mindset is so unique to his peers. Fans of many sports need to hear his words carefully.

Just was never a fan of shit talking. Just like he didn't like hurting people, he's said before after his fights he replays the situation cuz he feels too horrible for beating up his opponent.
This is the most open gsp has ever been, you can tell he's really comfortable with rogan, a lot of credit obviously goes to Joe, he has a great platform.
GSP has a big accent but uses very precise words and is very well spoken, its so odd. Like his brain learned the language almost completely but his tongue just couldn't
his English is really good though that's what matters. I had to replay like three parts, but it's not a big deal because it doesn't take long to get used to it and his vocabulary is better than a lot of Americans anyways lmao
@@ActionJackson669 I didn't have to replay any, its so easy to fill in the blanks when there is 0 vocabulary errors. I think he made like 1 in the whole video, i remember thinking he was using the wrong word and Joe Rogan didn't bother correcting him. Other than that, if you looked at a transcript of his words, youd legit think he was a native born english speaker.
It's hard not to like the guy. Carries himself exceptionally well. He's the kinda guy who will see his rival on a bus, walk past the dolly and show you a dinosaur skull.
@MUFC if that were the case soccer wouldve already overtaken the staple American sports. Aint no way in America, will soccer be more popular than baseball/football/basketball. Its not abt sport vs sport, but the culture
A- ROD1299 You mean old white people? Never met a republican below the age of 60 who thinks that way lol. Met several democrats tho who don’t think black people know where the DMV is at. Bigotry of low expectations.
Brian Myers I'm a pure boxing fan and former boxer, and I love this guy. Everything he says especially when he talks about autopilot or training actions to become reactions applies to boxing and all forms of fighting for that matter.
@@seanfriel2677 He did. But it's the one time george also admitted he didn't train much and came in not as in shape as he usually does so he was doubting himself. He even turned to his trainer before making the walk and asked if he thinks they trained enough. That's a bad question to be asking walking out against a guy who's got nothing to lose. Georges learned a lot that night.
If someone doesn't like GSP, then that person is most likely an ass hole. And probably a predator. Predators try to capitalize on Vulnerable people. Supreme athlete. Great character. Perfect guy to represent Canada!!
@@matthill2923 did you watch the entire podcast? I say that, because George talks about this assumption as well. You can’t claim that every person who doesn’t like George is an asshole. He doesn’t choose to not like him. There are certain reasons behind it. You can’t judge people only on what they say or do. There are deeper problems there
Man, I absolutely loved hearing Georges talk about the Bisping fight. He has so much respect for Bisping's abilities, and it's amazing to hear the details of that fight from a guy as thoughtful as GSP who was right there in the cage doing it. Incredible.
There's something particularly weirdly pleasant to watch gsp talk about all these different subjects. And Joe... He's like elevating every discussion to a whole new level. Just a very nice, entertaining well-made podcast. Thank you guys!
George Is A True Champion. His honesty, respect, humbleness, authenticity, and discipline make him not only one of the best fighters ever but in my opinion, the best person to ever enter the ring.
40 these days is like being 30 unless you're extremely unhealthy or you have bad genes. I'm 41 and most people who I meet at first think I'm in my mid 20s.
What a tremendous interview and so much respect for GSP. Thank you for your humility, honesty and telling it like it was. In my book he retired a hero not just for himself but for the sport.
Shaub would say GSP is the G.O.A.T hands down then GSP would say No Mighty Mouse is the G.O.A.T and Shaub would say Yea I agree with you Joe even though Joe hadn't said anything yet lol

Only on JRE can you hear legit discussions of neurology, paleontology, geology, metaphysics, etc, between two guys that could pulverize you and all your friends at the same time.
GSP is pure class and such a good hearted fighter. Very rare breed. I love this dude and the wisdom and humour he shares. One of the best fighters to ever step in the cage and still so joyful and always interesting to hear him speak. Respects from a fellow Canadian.
lmfao that start was trippy, joe asked if cauliflower stops him from wearing earbuds, and that mistranslation went to them both not wearing head phones hahaha
Gsp is hands down the most intellectual MMA fighter there is.... Someone you can have a conversation with and expect to learn from way beyond his sport...
Lmao at Dominic , his movements/ footwork ? Yes , his all around Mixed martial arts pedigree ? That's a negative. Dont be a casual spitting off things you don't understand, you sound silly.

@Antenna2heaven Many people in all of north america will always hate French culture, Quebec is the last place in the Americas French hasn't been beaten and forced out of the population. Just gotta prove the haters wrong, and do better so they can't ignore it
I remember that I remember, but I don't recall. That is pretty deep for a second language. He lights up when he talks about his passions . His thirst for knowledge is infectious.
Wisdom oozing from this conversation. GSP is what got me into the UFC as a curious teen watching my first fight on TV - I distinctly remember staying up to watch it whilst on holiday in Delhi. A decade plus later I realize this guy is a gem, a calculated fighter, and is he the greatest of all time? Undisputedly.
Captain Falange GSP is clean, and always has been. And for those that use the “cycle” argument don’t realise that the USADA testing is irregular and test those under high suspicion the most. Where it wouldn’t be possible for cycling.
Captain Falange I do and don’t think gsp was clean. It doesn’t make sense a natty could compete with all the roided up guys he was fighting plus there is the speculation about his bubble gut and there were spots on his stomach at some weigh ins. But at the same time he never pissed hot and he was being tested by vada to my knowledge for much of his career and vada tested better than normal ufc tests not to mention was a huge advocate for testing. If he was dirty, he wasn’t dirty his whole career. Something tells me he couldn’t have been dirty for Hendricks or Bisping but it’s more possible than people think that he was dirty
I fell asleep and woke up to this video playing, but I didn't realize where I was at first..I thought maybe I had gone to Montreal. and was listening to people talking outside my hotel room. very intelligent and interesting interview guest.
The first podcast I watched for more than 20 minutes I mean full 3 hours 😊 it was amazing feeling to hear gsp really educated smart and the combination with joe is just unmatchable
This entire podcast is so inspiring… GSP the fucking GOAT in and out of the octagon. Huge inspiration and I love his mentality and even though it’s pretty clear he isn’t comfortable in English, his confidence and precision when speaking is so impressive. Would love to see him back on the pod
Dalton Williams it is also because French and English have a lot of similarities when it comes to vocabulary. Grammar is very different. Vocabulary is rather similar.
The greatest of all time is still willing to learn and improve. I don't know if we will ever see another mixed martial artist like GSP. Absolutely amazing podcast.
I thought the same thing. It took GSP a few minutes to warm up, but once he let his guard down, it was an amazing show. I think he was self-conscious about the whole "alien abduction/that's CTE" thing from last time. It was nice to see him be able to joke about it though.
I love GSP, he’s the one who got me into MMA and UFC, he’s such a genuine character with a great perspective on life and fitness and such a positive role model that has inspired change in me, and I match his love for palaeontology it’s so cool to hear him talk about it cause it’s something I also have a massive passion for. Great interview/podcast with a great guy.
I've taken more from this interview with GSP than any other interview I've listened to on this show. Georges has a very well developed way of looking at life in general, and is very unbiased in his analysis regardless of his ideas. This man has my utmost respect.
I LOVED this episode and I'm not into MMA that much 😂 I feel that I have learnt so much about what is life like for a professional fighter. The mind of Georges is very interesting and I'd listen to him talking all day
@@bonvivant55 how can you implement a good tactic without good technique. That's like fighters who got great coaches but are shitty, it doesn't work. You could be more wrong. But you're still pretty damn wrong, though.
That was, by far, my favourite MMA podcast. I feel like I actually got to know the real Georges, which is so hard to pull off in an interview. Seriously excellent job. Me I tink GSP is the GOAT. I can't wait for the 'hangry lion' to take McGregor's lucky charms.
I've watched this twice now, and like fuck man the dudes arguably the best fighter ever and there's zero arrogance zero ego its so refreshing, feel so grateful to be able to have witnessed such an athlete such a human, get him on, again and again, Joe brilliant convo between the two of you!
I’m a 6 feet 250 lbs fat guy, I have never in my life done a push up exercise because I always thought I’m too heavy, after watching this, for 3 days, I did 3 sets of 10 push ups each day first thing in the morning, this is very inspiring
@@MannyRiberaOriginal english and french are nothing alike, yes some ppl can speak many languages but usually they are similar, such as italian,spanish, and french.. to speak english as well as him is rare
Man I love listening to this guy he is just such a great athlete and a great man a great attitude what a credit to his sport and to his country really God bless that guy
