Joe Rogan made his career with his acclaimed podcast, the Joe Rogan Experience. He recently signed a new $250 million non-exclusive deal with Spotify, making his podcast available for free on YouTube. Since the new deal, many high-profile guests have appeared on the podcast. Hollywood actor Kevin James became the latest one.

James and Rogan have known each other in the past. They even began their Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu journey together. However, James is still a Blue belt, whereas Rogan is now a Black belt. James attributed it to his tendency to quit after starting. Rogan stated that such tendencies were inborn, and he was lucky enough not to have them. However, he provided a solution for it:

That timid version of you is what you need to cultivate into being like the boss. That's the boss. So, I have a boss. My boss is that voice. I let that voice win every time. I love it. That voice says, 'Shut the f*ck up and get in the cold water.'

Rogan explained that every man had two voices inside them. One of the voices urged you not to do any work, whereas the other voice urged you to do work. More often than not, the latter voice was timid. James also agreed with the assessment and admitted it was true in his case.

Rogan stated that getting the timid voice to gain the upper hand would take time. If it happened, it meant that the individual would have more drive and motivation to do the tasks they otherwise would never have.

It excited James, who eagerly heard what Rogan had to say. This is what Rogan said.

There are two pieces of advice I always give comics or just young men in general: aspire to be the person you pretend to be when you're trying to get laid...If you can pretend to be that person...and then the second one is, live your life like a documentary crew is following you around. Live your life as if you wanted the whole world to go, 'Wow, that guy's really killing it. I love the way that guy handles things.'

James is one of the very few actors who played a protagonist in an MMA-themed movie. His movie, Here Comes the Boom, was a sports comedy movie in which James played a schoolteacher who moonlighted as an MMA fighter. Prominent personalities from the MMA world appeared in the movie.
