Joe Rogan Experience #2505 - Tom Segura

Tom Segura's New Show00:03

Tom Segura discussed his new show, describing it as one of the best examples of a single person's mind being expressed without restraints. Joe Rogan watched two episodes of the new season and was particularly impressed by the dance episode and the Freaky Friday episode.

Dance Rehearsals and Competition with Bert Kreischer01:02

Tom mentioned going to six dance rehearsals for an episode, noting that dancing is hard. The conversation shifted to a dance video competition with Bert Kreischer. Bert dropped a dance video first without coordinating, then claimed to be a better dancer, which Tom found infuriating due to Bert's wild, unhinged confidence.

Joe noted Bert is a great athlete, which explains his confidence. Bert dropped 50 pounds and improved his 5K time by 16 minutes for the Netflix is a Joke 5K event.

Weighted Training02:00

Tom discussed weighted training, mentioning wearing a 25-pound vest regularly and having a backpack frame that can hold up to 90 pounds of plates. He described doing a hike with 50 pounds, noting how much harder everything becomes with added weight. The shoulder and neck area becomes particularly strained during these exercises.

Tom uses weighted training before hunting season to prepare for carrying a backpack in the mountains. He explained that some hunters carry 60-80 pound packs for 8-10 day backcountry trips, including food, bedding, and shelter.

Hunting and Wild Pigs in Texas03:30

Tom does not do extended backcountry hunting trips anymore. His sons want to go hunting after he takes them shooting targets. He mentioned having access to a lease for pig hunting, noting the massive wild pig infestation in Texas.
