The amazing people at the Core Institute. Life can throw you a curveball now and again. One day you're trucking along, feeling great. Next day your dog smashes into your head and knocks you cold. Or like a KUPD listener told me this week, his dog did a sprint across the backyard directly into the side of his wife's leg and blew her knee up. She needed that need to get fixed and fixed right. Two years later, she's running like she used to again. And it's all thanks to the Core Institute. I went through it, too. And you can get rid of your pain and start saying, yes, I can to all the things you want to do.

Maddie Akupd
The every channel in this city shows Fear Factor. I'm home early. I watch a lot of weird tv.
Chuck Arting
Right?
Maddie Akupd
And there it is. I turn it from here, turn it to there, and you're on constant.
Joe Rogan
That's not my fault.
Maddie Akupd
A little bit, though.
Joe Rogan
Not really. And I don't get paid for those either.
Maddie Akupd
You don't?
Joe Rogan
Not really.
Maddie Akupd
You get a little bit.
Joe Rogan
Tiny bit. It's after. It's a. It's a.
Maddie Akupd
You're just getting the chunk for the reruns.
Joe Rogan
You're not getting any for the reruns. It's a tiny amount. It's a real small amount. Yeah.
Maddie Akupd
As much as that's on you sue somebody, then.
Joe Rogan
No, no. It's just the way it goes. Just no one ever expected that to happen with reality tv. They expected it only with, like, sitcoms.
Chuck Arting
The other thing I didn't realize is you walk around with this giant jar of cockroaches, which is cool.
Maddie Akupd
It's just in case of.
Joe Rogan
Well, you know, people always want to eat something. So I'm just like, hey, you got. You want to eat something?
Maddie Akupd
I got sick of that. Like, people don't do.
Joe Rogan
It's the first, like. That's the. They all. They all think they're being original. What do you got for me to eat? Come in.
Maddie Akupd
You got it.
Joe Rogan
I'm like, oh, this is not gonna go away. This is gonna be with me for the rest of my life.
Maddie Akupd
You're gonna be like, crazy.
Joe Rogan
I'll eat anything. I'm gonna be 90 trying to play golf. Yeah. Some old man's gonna come out to me. I almost got on your show once, hit him in the head with a knife.
Maddie Akupd
You get the. You get the people that just constantly tell you that they almost were on Fear Factor.
Joe Rogan
No, I'm trying out for your show. I'm trying out for your show. But, you know, the best thing is I Tell them I go, well, you know what? If you talk to me, you can't ever be on the show because the.
Maddie Akupd
FCC rules and they leave you alone.
Joe Rogan
They leave me alone.
Maddie Akupd
That, my friend, is brilliant. Pure brilliance right there. You know, there's, you know, you start in with a Hollis because Dave Chappelle just went into a mental rehab.
Chuck Arting
What's happening in South Africa?
Maddie Akupd
Yeah, he's in South Africa.
Joe Rogan
If you're in South Africa, you might go to mental rehab. Either I'm crazy or they're crazy. So let's get this checked out right.
Maddie Akupd
Now for going to South Africa when he's making 50 million an hour.
Joe Rogan
Well, Africa is cool, man. I want to go to Africa. I want to watch some animals kill their animals. I want to watch it happen live.
Maddie Akupd
You know, you do it on every Monday.
Joe Rogan
I would like to go, wouldn't you like to go out watch a lion take out a gazelle?
Chuck Arting
That could be a new Fear factor thing. You strap some like fresh meat on someone, they have to run through the jungle.
Joe Rogan
The problem is even the wild lions, like the. When you go to safaris, they're not even wild anymore because they're used to seeing people. Yeah, it's not like that's the first jeep.
Chuck Arting
Well, I had some neighbors that just got back from South Africa and that's exactly. They were in the car, the lions were just eating the carcass right next to the.
Maddie Akupd
Well, they have the one where you feed them. What's the point of that? They have the one where you're just tossing them food and oh, this is amazing. It's not right.
Joe Rogan
You gotta watch them get their own.
Maddie Akupd
So you're just basically can't feed the lions.
Chuck Arting
Really?
Joe Rogan
That's crazy.
Maddie Akupd
That's the whole point of I'm with you is just watching Take down a gazelle. That's the only reason those shows on National Geographic get me and I'll watch the first 30 minutes to learn about the animal. Not paying attention, just to watch them take something out.
Joe Rogan
I wonder how long they have to film something to catch. Like, you ever watch like that. There's one crazy footage you see over and over again of this crocodile exploding out of the water, taking out this wildebeest. Oh, it's so sick. It's like this 300 pound wildebeest. This thing just goes flying through the air. The crocodile is like 20ft long, grass.
Maddie Akupd
And the cameraman had to stand there for like hours and days.
Chuck Arting
I don't know. Those crocs.
Maddie Akupd
Yeah, it's pretty common.
Joe Rogan
Those are Dinosaurs, dude.
Chuck Arting
The wildebeest, they cross every year, so they have a fever.
Maddie Akupd
He's big on the animals. This is where. This is where you made a mistake.
Joe Rogan
You and me, my friend. Real talk.
Maddie Akupd
Oh no. You know what?
Joe Rogan
Smoke a doobie and talk about this.
Maddie Akupd
It'Ll be like having a limo driver in your ear all day long.
Chuck Arting
I picked up a fertile lamps, man. It bit my friend.
Joe Rogan
What? What the hell are you talking about? Who are you?
Maddie Akupd
This is what I'm saying. Look what you've started.
Joe Rogan
Stop calling my cell phone.
Maddie Akupd
So what are you doing? Hey Joe, it's Brady.
Joe Rogan
I'm back.
Maddie Akupd
That's all you're gonna hear constantly. Hi, thanks for the number.
Chuck Arting
Hey, I got a great thing for you to eat.
Maddie Akupd
You'll be bird watching with him before you know it. Just drunk. Why are we doing this again? Yeah, but. So you, what do you do with your free time? Do you have any free time anymore? You're out.
Joe Rogan
Oh, yeah. I got plenty of free time.
Maddie Akupd
Really?
Joe Rogan
Well, yeah. I mean, what I really like to do is stand up. I mean, when I'm not doing Fear Factor, that's what I mostly do, right? And the only reason why I do anything else besides stand up is for money. Seriously, stand up is really what I love to do. It's just, you know, when you're a stand up, they offer you other stuff and that's how I got on television in the first place, you know, but.
Chuck Arting
When you start in Fear Factors, you have to relocate.
Joe Rogan
No, no, I lived in la. Yeah, it's all. Most of it's done in la and occasionally we shoot like a show in New York or Vegas or something like that. But most of it's la.
Maddie Akupd
Yeah, but that's it. So it's just stand up and then everything else is a heartless attempt to grab a check.
Joe Rogan
Yeah, Everything else, financially, yeah, that's great.
Maddie Akupd
There's nothing wrong with being honest. I appreciate that. No, most people, I could just for the love of acting, you know.
Joe Rogan
You know, there's something about hosting that really just touches my soul.
Maddie Akupd
So you just rolled through news, right?
Joe Rogan
Three, two, one, go. There's just something about it.
Chuck Arting
So what about the uf?
Joe Rogan
I've done martial arts since I was a little kid, so, you know, I've always been, you know, a big fan of fighting and I don't even really like other sports. I mean, I. I can't. I don't watch basketball. I just. I can't get behind it. I don't understand it. I mean, your ball's going in the net. Who cares? Ball went in that.
Maddie Akupd
Whoa.
Joe Rogan
That ball in the net, too. Well, that's crazy. Oh, you threw a. Ball went in the net.
Chuck Arting
Whoa.
Joe Rogan
The ball actually went in the net. That's incredible. It does. See, it's. It's a non event. See, the only time it's an event is when there's like some artificial significance attached to it. Like a world title, you know, three seconds to go. Yeah, but a fight is a fight. You know what I'm saying? Like, there's always. It's always exciting. You know, when two dudes are locked in a cage and they're ready to brain each other.
Chuck Arting
There's something about that.
Maddie Akupd
So basically, you're kind of like me. If it's. If it's not bleeding, it ain't entertainment.
Joe Rogan
Holla.
Maddie Akupd
Yeah. See, that's what I'm talking about, girl. John Holmberg's morning sickness.

Wayne
Hey, it's Larry McFeely here with Wayne from Amco. And Wayne, now that it's getting warmer, I turned on the AC in my car and the air is blowing kind of cool, but it really smells like a basement. What can I do about that, Larry?
Unknown
Your car's AC system should be checked and serviced every year. Plus, replacing the cabin air filter helps the air blow strong and takes away any nasty smell.
Joe Rogan
Nice.
Wayne
Is that a big deal to get done?
Maddie Akupd
Not at all.
Unknown
It takes about an hour, and in most cases, we can do it while you wait.
Maddie Akupd
That's awesome. I'll say.
Unknown
We're Amco.
Wayne
Google Amco for your nearest location. That's Amco Double A MCO transmissions and a whole lot more home birds.
Maddie Akupd
Morning sickness.
Joe Rogan
I want excitement, man. When? Look, I watch a basketball game and I'll be bored until a fight breaks out in the basketball court, and then I'm gonna be the first person standing up going, oh, yeah, that's exciting. That's reality.
Chuck Arting
The ufc. The last one. It's hilarious because you're Going crazy.
Maddie Akupd
Yeah.
Chuck Arting
And you can't help it.
Joe Rogan
But which one? With Randy Couture, Chuck Liddell. Yeah. That was insane. Yeah, that was insane.
Maddie Akupd
Which is a great. And I swear to God, you're gonna just kill the heavyweight boxing completely, which is about time somebody did.
Joe Rogan
Yeah, you watch that, James? Tony. Oh, you can't watch.
Chuck Arting
He just got ripped away.
Joe Rogan
He just got caught with steroids.
Chuck Arting

Maddie Akupd
10 days after it's caught with, you know, a Wateroids in there. I mean, when's he using? I'm a doctor.
Joe Rogan
I don't know if you knew that.
Maddie Akupd
I prescribe, get a wad going, you.
Chuck Arting
Know, and that's what's good about the UFC is it's.
Joe Rogan
They're all on roids.
Chuck Arting
It's part of the deal.
Joe Rogan
We love that. No, they get tested too, actually. A lot of people. A lot of people have been stripped of the ufc. Look, you know, they need an allroids.
Maddie Akupd
Sport because look how boring baseball is now without.
Joe Rogan
Why is everybody yelling with the door open? I could have swore we were on the radio. Who's this guy?
Maddie Akupd
This is Chuck Arting. He runs the place. Chuck's in here?
Joe Rogan
Chuck's yelling with the radio on?
Maddie Akupd
Yeah, he's just happy to meet.
Joe Rogan
Doesn't even realize the radio show's going on. Talking about his golf game this morning.
Maddie Akupd
Chuck wants to. Chuck wants to be on Elderly Fear Factor. That's a possibility. Tons of Metamucil and we'll just fire it off into buckets. That's all I'm looking to do. Yeah, he's big into that stuff. So when is the UFC thing? Is that weekly now or what's going on?
Joe Rogan
Well, what they're doing now is they're going to have a whole bunch of new shows on Spike TV where they have live UFCs. They're going to have six in the next 12 months, and then there's going to be a bunch of pay per View cards. The next pay per view one is June 4th in Atlantic City.
Chuck Arting
I never really watched that show. The week a week one where they're training, where the ultimate fighters.
Joe Rogan
Great show, Great show. The final. The final steroids.
Maddie Akupd

Joe Rogan
The finale was awesome. You know, they had a live finale on Spike tv.
Maddie Akupd
It was sick.
Joe Rogan
It was crazy.
Maddie Akupd
I just. I love it. I can't get enough of it because it's real fighting. You're right. You know, some of those guys are on steroids. We can't lie about it. You know it. And then, you know what?
Joe Rogan
All the athletes are Lance Armstrong's on steroids. They're all famous for it.
Maddie Akupd
There's nothing wrong with it, I don't think. If you want to shrink your balls from my entertainment, then I'm all for that. I think it's a phenomenon.
Joe Rogan
I'm talking about.
Maddie Akupd
Plus, you bleed easier.
Joe Rogan
More doctor talk?
Maddie Akupd
Yeah. I don't want to get too technical, but extra blood. Their arms fall off their new organs and stuff. Some of the greatest events in history have been due to steroids. And that's. It thrills me, guys. Arms. Well, breaking and plopping off and weightlifting.
Joe Rogan
There's some sports that they're not. I mean, like, you got. Look, if you're gonna test sports, test all sports. I mean, how do you think football players get to be £350? Yeah, that's not normal for a human.
Maddie Akupd
No.
Joe Rogan
Okay, one more. Humans. £350 for the 1900s, she never existed.
Maddie Akupd
That's tr.
Joe Rogan
£50 of solid muscle. Until they figured out you could take stuff out of organs and stick it in your body. That. That never happened.
Chuck Arting
Yeah, they were doing that, but not for that reason. Years ago, what were they doing? Taking organs out and sticking them in your body. Yeah. The Indians would take your intestines out. You run around a tree. It's a torture.
Maddie Akupd
They made you run around way too much. Western. Oh, man.
Joe Rogan
Just get ready.
Chuck Arting
It was on the Internet, man.
Maddie Akupd
You. You believe that you. That Indians would tear your intestines? You run around a tree?
Joe Rogan
Yeah.
Maddie Akupd
You think that's impossible with your 27ft, baby, your intestines are out and you can still manage to run around the tree.
Joe Rogan
They beat you with a stick if you don't run.
Maddie Akupd
Chief. I'm done. Now what they also take.
Chuck Arting
They also take eagle claws and elevate you.
Maddie Akupd
Okay, I know that one. That's easy. Eagle claws?
Chuck Arting
Yeah.
Joe Rogan
I thought they used, like, hooks, man, called horse. Remember that? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Maddie Akupd
Those are eagle claws.
Joe Rogan
Is that what it was? The eagles were endangered?
Maddie Akupd
He's like a little kid that just got out, like a civics class.
Joe Rogan
Nice.
Chuck Arting
Not anymore. Bald eagles are back. They're like pigeons now, people.
Maddie Akupd
Yeah.
Joe Rogan
