Episode Transcript: #1627 - Dan Gable

Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day.

Is that, so you're telling me that this mask is, this is a wrestling, does this have anything to do with your museum?

Yeah, it says the National Wrestling Hall of Fame, but this is the one out of Stillwater, Oklahoma.

And the one we have is a subsidiary one. It's called the National Wrestling Hall of Fame, Dan Gable Museum in Waterloo, my hometown.

But they own it. And see, Oklahoma and I were big rivalries in wrestling over history.

And these museums kind of help bring us together.

So it's pretty interesting.

So the mag is, these actually masks are just the ones out of Stillwater.

I don't know if we have ones in Waterloo or not, but.

Lex Friedman told me that you have a hard time even walking around in Iowa, that people will swarm you.

You know, when they don't swarm me is when I'm going to have to worry about, you know, because I'm for the sport of wrestling.

And I love that sport and it's been my life and I can, I want it to continue to be, and it's a little bit difficult sport.

So, you know, it's something that keeps me appreciative, but it also, I promote it out there.

And as long as people, I'm okay with it.

I might irritate my family a little bit once in a while, but they love the sport too.

So they got to expect some of this stuff.

Well, coming from a guy that has accomplished what you've accomplished and has become this legendary feature in the sport, it comes with the territory.

There's no way around it.

I mean, you're a beloved character in the sport of wrestling to the point where I told people that you were going to be on my podcast and their eyebrows raise up.
