0:00 The Joe Rogan Experience. Where's the other one? This is a huge look of a go forever. They're all in Canada. We just drive. So watch this. She tases him. Yeah. 10 seconds he was on fire for five seconds maybe yeah you could probably recover from that like Well, she knows. But Steve-O's wife is fully aware that he's out of his fucking mind. That's not something that you, but you figured out a way with your smart brain to actually

3:38 How's that working out? Are you fine with that? But it's like they must realize that you're like a social media success now. Well, sometimes you are, aren't you? Right, 98.6. Yeah, I had to sleep on my carpet. Would that work? yeah does it chafe your skin up too it's like first firstly you can't put it on dry so you Oh, look at that. Yeah. Yeah. Don't be so cool

7:18 From under Oh, so sneaky. I mean, the ocean has been around for forever. It just looks like it's getting eaten. So it's like a brick of the material? but they're definitely going to break it. I mean, most shark attack is very often, unless it's a rare occasion, I'm not sure. It's been for a lot of years. You can eat it. The problem with seals is they hit a ball with their nose.

10:08 And Canada gets really, really cold. It's when you're comparing a sealed boots or a sealed jacket that's going to last you for 40 years, 50 years without degrading in the slightest. Zara? So there are better options out there, but those companies sell a lot of jackets. be better like even if you were like hiking in the mountains than, like, an insulated boot, wouldn't it?

11:59 I mean, they're pretty good. also have the ability to side hill so So they're rigid on the sides. because I was kind of wearing sneakers is that if you take large blocks of the ocean and make them off limits to fishing, And the story was retracted because the doctor who was in charge of the study, apparently the study, the result was, or the study was depending on the result of this one.

15:06 Here it is. Right. University of Washington to talk about It's very, very complicated because there's a lot of assets to it, right? Oh, there's a lot of people who works on boats in different countries that are barely paid. Okay. The United States is the best country in the world when it comes to sustainable seafood. shout out to my friends at Strike Zone, we were on a boat and we were catching these yellowfin tuna

18:20 And they were, you know, capturing them. Is this a way to reintroduce fish into the ocean? It's basically the exact same thing. how do they catch them in a net normally proscien is probably one of the, throw in gigantic sorry net it, pick up everything. looking for it's they throw them overboard most of the time they're dead um a lot of people try That Cove documentary is horrible.

21:28 Isn't it, that's the thing. Isn't it funny how we categorize animals in terms of their intelligence? see things they they have like edge detection so So they recognize movement. So what they recognize is anything that might be a threat, anything movement. Are they colorblind too? I think What level of picture do you want There you go. Thank God. Meat trade dolphin project.

23:58 That's what we have to recognize. All of our instincts are to pull away from that. I was just like, I don't want to do that again, Yeah. Like veal. I don't. For sure. Whoa. That's amazing. What? Oh, my God. That's amazing. Really? For folks just listening, this thing, it's white, and it has, like, little tiny tentacles. Looks like an octopus white and it has like little tiny tentacles looks

26:52 That's one of the coolest things I've ever seen in the ocean. Whenever they do these deep dives in the ocean and they find creatures that they never discovered before, it just makes you wonder, what is down there? So its mouth is like unhinged. Because the first time I saw it, I was like, how the fuck is that real? meme that said when your friends tell you that there's plenty of fish in the sea and they send

28:17 it opens up bigger than his For sure. like how many videos were that had 31,000 views that ain't shit that's nothing 45 million views. The little tiny one had 31,000 views. But if you go to like, you know, tiktok house party video that's like 100 million views we Well, you don't scuba 45. Right. to enjoy the the life of being underwater when you're down there do you think like i escaped

31:51 Yeah. The what? It makes you just, yeah, it's pretty odd. uh heavy metal toxins is a lot of freshwater freshwater fish yeah i'm not too familiar with hmm. and then he said, He goes, how often? cases of sardines and so like if i like a sardine company i'm like these are good so i'll just buy know they have to swim around in our bullshit that's true it's what it is it's our bullshit

35:18 Worse than that. they would demand a ransom and then once they they did that, they go, you know what? and it makes your teeth rot out of your head. and their teeth get all cracked out? what it looks like when they chew that stuff that's fucking wild right yeah The effect of cat, K-H-A-T. That's a good point. So these guys would get whacked out on this stuff, and then they'd go and fucking kidnap boats.

38:37 Yeah, it's interesting. What did they call themselves? And nobody probably talks about it. they just become pirates like why would they like you know what's that why are they becoming pirates i mean it's a bunch of paris also off the coast of brazil oh really so my um Holy shit. How'd they get out? There's a thing about the ocean. it's a fucking baby you'd let her run away like everything's scary in the woods looking at you'd be like ah it's a fucking baby you'd let

41:53 400? Have you seen the video that just got out recently of these guys that are fishing on this boat? scares me the most in the water, it's boats. on top of us boom How bad did the boat get fucked up? Well my friend got a boat of his fin Could have been his head. You know? Everyone's going to die. He's not going to see you. They're so fast. Then she got these new jet skis

44:59 Like whoosh. Oh, I haven't seen that. waves with a jet ski you're just fucking you're just doing whatever you want to do you want to That's crazy. So there's different models. Oh, so it pops up there. and start casting and then zip off. I definitely used that. Yeah, big ass fat boys. There's like one of the most hardcore spearfishing you can also do,

47:51 you get in the water and I didn't feel too comfortable doing it. So because like the nets, they're always falling off the boat, falling off the nets and stuff like that. Or are the tunas too fast? Yeah. to come around grizzlies hear gunshots and I believe it's Montana My bad. once the tuna's hooked, the shark is going to Really? Yeah. with his girlfriend.

50:44 than any of his other movies Because I believe the idea is they're trying that's not your elk anymore and maybe this is something you've been planning for for years, Tyler from Archer Country? get set up, they're a fucking amazing shop, Archery Country. I have this big trip coming up. COVID kind of pushed everything up. Yeah. is not enough it's just not enough i mean ted nugent shemaine nugent would probably argue with

53:56 We need to get your- it on it. They're awesome. And what it is, is a really good exercise for shoulder stability and a bunch of different kinds of exercises I do them. And John, he's just an awesome trainer all around. But clubs are really good for bows. Okay. I'll send you out. Power for my laptop. John Dudley is like legitimately the best archery

56:18 But what kind of bow do you have? There's a level of bow when you get to a certain level. and trained with Gordon It really came up from the fact Wow. So I was only allowed to hit her in the body. And my coach looked at me. I was very angry. But then we kept sparring, and she just felt a little bit. I mean, she kind of did, but she was like, sorry. But then we kept sparring and she just kept like hitting as hard.

59:01 I mean, he's nice. that should be the end yeah but still because I've seen it But sometimes a guy will, like, rush forward right when you're doing something and you just collide and you get hit. yeah not like it's you know just want to not prove yourself a little bit but you know the solution to And he's in Arvada, Colorado, I believe, outside of Denver.

1:01:25 other. You're just touching each other. So you get used to touching each other, just touching and they would ruin their careers in the gym because they would get knocked out so often everyone would of trying to find what your next move is going to be i'll review them i'm like how the fuck is he doing that and i'll have to watch it like three It's almost like language.

1:03:55 was really telling me like okay so how do you get out of this and she's like there's like thousands Isn't that funny? Was living at Henzo Gracie's Academy in New York City. And it's like, without a doubt, Yeah, I talked him into it. That would be crazy. very, very loved. Of course. when you see 60 000 people when george walked to the octagon the the roar that they got when

1:06:52 with Mexican flags and then Saturday night Brandon goes out to the octagon and when when he walks I mean. No, no. Arena. Yeah. Thought he was just going to kick his ass. a lot of drama that now that makes sense, the UFC is really good at sort of marketing I don't want to get my... Yeah. And he won. to being a guy who is like not eating carbs anymore.

1:10:45 betty um she's on my i put her on my instagram page because it was so crazy to see i met her at He would have a private class for over an hour. and he trained with this Carlson Gracie school. in general. I've changed my life recently. That's so great. You know, they're just not interested in challenges. think that's it's it's too to keep trying new things and pushing yourself.

1:14:05 You don't have to try to die, but what but do things that are stimulating and interesting and for this lady But that's for people, you know, Anything. thinking of that target just watch that arrow sink right into that bullseye it's so satisfying You know, when people get bored, I'm like, what are you talking about, man? different things. new aspect of your personality.

1:16:44 I'm the shape How do you salt a leech? Like when it gets on you? I don't cry. I just can't take it. and that was the only one you ever cried at yeah i always have a feeling of loss when i when i walk And so when I shot it again, there's a video of me taking it in it's a video of me just like world and it was probably like four or five years old so it had been living in this area for its

1:20:14 this is Montana. deep breath and then i had to like get back down and then boom and I dropped And so as we're cooking over this fire, I was thinking to myself, like, I'm going to do this for the rest of my life. there's some weird caveman dna that gets excited when you barbecue but when you're barbecuing over No, not at all. is probably the kindest one it's the best one a gunshot is the best one or an arrow is the best

1:23:45 and everything which was pretty bad no like I've never done anything like that before. and then I was got back to camp It's like I went with a butcher, I cut everything For me, the circle was closed. Otherwise, I'm finding hard trying out at night but Well, it's very lean. so you can sell it in restaurants. and different stuff that's... Well, I have Nilgai jerky if you want some.

1:27:05 I have never eaten a Nilgai steak, though. and he's a great guy he's been on my podcast too he's a really interesting guy i think i'm going there's a, That's that fish and chips, that's hunting related very rarely because if you do they'll come for you. It's so bad. I mean, social media is such a... What? And there's about 50 people that showed up I don't know how to convince my

1:29:46 That's a cool thing about social media. Random wackos over for a barbecue. It's just most people are fun most of the time too. I can understand why because I've I had no friends in school just school had to make me and it's just like became a shit show from from from them on and it's i've i've if social media and then it's... for some people it's just like it's too much and suicide is way up with girls suicide is way up

1:32:58 And it's just added an extra level, I think, of hardness for young girls that are just trying to get by and reach adult life. I definitely shouldn't read it. you're miserable yeah nobody's happy and be like you know what i'm going to i'm going to go and Yeah. what you do yeah for sure but you shouldn't be reading that the thing is like how many followers

1:36:15 But if you go to that place in Tampa, my God, how many idiots were there? They're probably like a They're just dorks. i don't get jazz i don't get it but like my friend lonzo loves it he goes on jazz cruises But that's the cool thing is that humans vary so much. They cannot wait for the next opera. It's like that's one of the cool things about people

1:38:45 yeah i'm like hey don't listen yeah i don't want you to listen i don't want to hurt your feelings It's not the problem of the person who you don't like because obviously people like me. Let me see what the fuss is all about. Holy shit. So you knew you were going for marlin at the time? Damn, is that possible? Holy fuck. It's kind of similar to swordfish.

1:41:25 oh okay but it's it's yeah it's amazing tasting i gave away um a big part of it in mexico when i was Really? it was swimming away so i i kind of just like turned around and looking from the corner of my And so I was like, okay, my gun was pretty small. And you just hung onto the buoy? it's my snorkel is like with the wind and the water that thing is going and then i had a second

1:44:37 i'm like i'm not feeling good like i'm feeling so bad i puked after it has that but you so much So most of the time, it's basically right behind the eye. and I was just like we get back to the dock It's, it's. That is cool. How long is the fish? Wow, that's awesome. Have you shot anything big other than that? In Hawaii? It has warm body temperature.

1:48:12 like and constant movement how fast does a spear gun go like what's the feet per second of the 25 feet, is it? It's not like fishing. You're slowing everything down. Snapper, I guess that would be a really curious one. That's weird because they're so delicious. That's the same with hunting. This is me slowly lifting my hands up to my head. But even if they see you, you can kind of go like this.

1:50:53 you you enter into this category where it's like what is that the thing is looking at you like what Okay. That's a good trick. And I see this thing that I thought was a coyote running across the road, and then I noticed its tail. It had a big old pumpkin head and giant forearms, and I was only 30 yards from it. They've killed people for hundreds and hundreds of years.

1:53:30 He was bow hunting and whacks it in the face. No. No. You show that to the game ward and the game ward is going to go, okay. Like, that guy had to shoot it. because they don't know what they can kill and what they can't kill yet. It's the same with sharks. who's going on a swim, I know what you're saying. That's just the thing people say. yeah grew up into it and it's it's i think sometimes people kind of are

1:57:31 people like to claim things as be like this is our thing this is my world this is my you know like Why not? But anything that you do, and I hear that a lot from people, like, oh, no, I'm too old to try this. You have to look stupid. Yeah. Being humbled is good for you. 100%. You have to look stupid. tortured guys beat the shit out of me and i remember thinking i can't believe how easy it is

1:59:52 Like this is crazy. I was pretty good pretty quick just getting mangled. It was humiliating. But I always remember thinking like, this where when I roll with someone, I know that I'm just going to strangle them When I picked up spearfishing, I went around the world. Yeah. So it's just like you have to learn that. I remember and it's bleeding digged up a photo of me who just fell off my bicycle crying,

2:02:26 Did she? Really? Is that what it is? She always was better than me in sports, if this bitch could do it, I could do it. Yes, that would definitely sound like my sister. Really? and she's always been stronger Well, how did you do it? In London. It was just free diving. spitting explain to me what we're going to do oh it's cool so we're going to like go like 100

2:04:18 Maybe it's like 100 kilometers is really more. Okay, so we went maybe and just do drops I got a black jack. It's just completely black. But it was, so of course my friends were like, well, like you shot a fish, good for you, You do it. Nobody's coming to pick me up yet because there's other people with deer. So I'm grabbing two legs. You know what you have to do?

2:07:32 one of the ways I met him of physical strength you need just to carry things up the mountain. If you have to bring an animal well next time you can take me and you can carry me guys like you guys can just carry me in a Did you do 45? So 50 is really only 25. And then it's easy. The range they have at Archery Country? It was kind of a natural progression of spearfishing anyways.

2:10:12 But like a rifle though, when you get a rest, like why do you go into bow hunting i'm like firstly it's it's if i'm gonna shoot something to go through rib cages and stuff like that and hit vital organs. and just hold it straight out like this, and then grab a cable, like a cable machine, and pull back like that, and just hold it straight out like this and then grab a cable like a cable machine and pull back like that and just practice pulling back and you'll develop all those muscles

2:12:15 What are you hunting in Alaska? oh you haven't met him yet I did with him carrying a mountain lion He just looks good. He's a very smart guy and a guy who really deeply respects wildlife too. if you want to keep your audience small slide into obscurity about the money. that it's Spiffisher man or hunter i think we It's a normal mistake. But it's the same

2:15:30 You wanna do stand up comedy? they're painters and they suck yeah of course because it's there's a limited you know like the like remember our story with fishing that's that's rare that's a that's a young child that's part of it someone doesn't have control i don't even know how to get my fucking leg up there like that it's it's cool it's i think there's a stigma too about the

2:18:05 what's looking at you in the eye like this undervalued at the end they made up this and then guess one of the biggest Tyson Meats. It's insane to me. that try to make money they're terrible for you god But if you want to make Indian food,, you know, like there was a great Hindi? and they had and so that's like a cafeteria style vegetarian food. There's a lot of it, know but it's like it's beans and rice and

2:21:50 I think they started out of the gate really strong. you gotta try it. if you get Thousand Island dressing on it If I eat your bullshit soybean oil fucking for horrible food How is it? What do they catch? It has to be pollock. So it's certified by DMSE. What's that big fat one? Not recently, if you guys had heard of, It's fish. I looked it up. Queberge.

2:24:59 Terrible. That would be the wildest thing to do. Goberge d'Alaska. So it's like it's Pollock from the Alaska. You're rude. Call me Joseph-y. Remember when after 9-11 we started calling them freedom fries? about real stupidity. that you don't agree with. 10 p.m. curfew still. You know, CNN is now saying that the fucking masks don't do anything. for so many years.

2:28:07 that are just running around or your conspiracy's dumbass who's like selfish and a piece of shit piece of shit and there's I just don't understand the logic behind a 10 p.m. curfew. that risk and they're trying to like figure out a way and their way is to tell people to stay home room for them. Well, you've got some wacky fucking you get to treat it for free.

2:30:38 I may go to Alaska. have a little barbecue where they can find you Breathwork. Good job. I had anxiety since I was 18. It can help you. before you you would enter the hexagon by example you want to be focused but you want to be calm the I appreciate you. we'll talk about that is gonna be in French
