Joe Rogan Podcast, check it out.
The Joe Rogan Experience.
Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day.
Yeah, man, babe, I love it.
That's fucking good.
Have we started?
Have we gone?
Where?
Oh, no.
Not over the relics.
The dirtier this table is, the better.
Get it away from the...
What is that?
The relics.
That's from my friend John Reeves.
He gave that to me.
That's a mastodon tooth.
Or woolly mammoth, or what's the difference?
What is the difference between woolly mammoth and a mastodon?
They must be a different age.
A different era.
But that's a giant tooth.
There's a company in Alaska, I forget the name,
but they kind of seems fucked to carve into this thing
because it is 10,000 years old, at least.
How many of them are there, though?
Do they have heaps of them?
They have heaps of them.
But this is really cool.
It's like they carved a mammoth in it.
So what is the difference?
According to our sponsor, Perplexity,
a woolly mammoth and a mastodon were related,
but quite different Ice Age elephants.
Mammoths were taller, more slightly built grass eaters,
while mastodons were shorter, stockier browsers
that ate woody plants.
Okay.
I was going to say the hair, maybe,
but I don't...
It's obviously more...
Woolly mammoth, right?
Yeah, mastodon looks like an elephant.
Yeah, the mastodon horn does look cooler.
They're pretty cool.
They're all pretty cool.
Do you know, they lived on an...
Was it...
Where were the last mastodons?
I want to think...
I want to say they lived on an island
until like 10,000 years ago
or something like that.
Because most of them died out.
They don't know how they died out,
but there's two theories.
One theory is people killed them all,
which is a shaky theory.
Because it's people of 10,000 years ago
with fucking sticks.
Were they around 10,000 years ago?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, they died...
We definitely did that thing.
I don't think so.
I think it was a cataclysm.
I think it was the same thing
that killed 65% of all megafauna.
That's the problem.
It killed so many different animals
almost instantaneously.
Yeah, that's it.
4,000 years ago.
Wrangell Island,
remote Arctic island off Siberia's coast,
had the last woolly mammoths
until about 4,000 years ago.
Isn't that nuts?
That's nothing.
That's nuts.
Yeah, that's like
before the pyramids were built.
It's...
No, I mean, after the pyramids were built, rather.
It's like similar time.
Yeah, after.
Yeah, after the pyramids.
Allegedly.
I think they were probably
built earlier than that.
But the official date is 2,500.
I've seen that strange man
with the beard and the...
Which one?
That man you had on to debate it
who's always clapping back on Twitter
and going like,
there's nothing funny about the...
Oh, Flint devil?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't want to invoke his ire.
Yeah, he's got a lot of ire.
He's got a lot of time
and a lot of hate.
I actually enjoyed talking to him
about non-archaeol...
Non, you know,
ancient history related stuff.
He has some interesting things
about seeds.
Like, he does a lot of work in seeds.
Okay.
No, it's actually really interesting
how...
Like the history of seeds?
Yeah, so say if you have a wild plant,
they can tell the difference
between a wild plant
and an agriculturally grown plant.
Yeah.
And the way is the seeds change.
So when you have a wild seed,
it is more conducive
to the growth of the plant
if the seeds break off easier
and scatter
and they get into the ground easier.
So they break free of the plant.
But then when you use agriculture,
the seeds don't become important
for the creation of new plants
because you're always taking the seeds anyway
and planting the seeds, right?
So those seeds are more robust
and they hang on more.
Yeah.
So you could tell
by looking at the actual seeds themselves
whether it's an agriculturally based seed
or whether it's a wild seed.
That is good.
I hadn't thought about that.
Yeah.
It was really cool.
That part was cool.
The shittiness is not cool
in calling Graham Hancock a racist.
They do that with, like, everyone.
Everyone who has anything to say
about the historical narrative
that doesn't fit into exactly
what they're teaching
or what they have been teaching.
They're, like, so unwilling
to accept that there's
any alternative timeline.
But they keep getting fucked
because over and over again
they keep finding these new things
that are older and older.
Yeah.
But this happens every...
It was the big one.
It happens in every discipline.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, it happens in comedy.
There's people that don't like
new comedians that are coming up.
They don't like what they're doing differently.
You said a thing last night
about prop comedy.
Yeah.
You're like,
everyone just stopped doing prop comedy
at a certain point.
Well, it's because of Carrot Top.
It's because of Carrot Top
and also because of the bullying
you would receive
at the moment
for having props.
There's Rick Glassman.
Am I getting his name right?
I don't know.
But he had some props
and he was really funny
and he got away with it.
But he's the only person in America
other than Carrot Top
I've seen with any props.
Well, when I started out,
there was a bunch of guys
who had props.
There was a bunch of guys
who had props
and it was fun.
It was fun to watch.
There was,
God,
Dr. Wid?
I forget his name.
Dr. Wiz?
I forget his name.
But he was a guy
when I first started out
in like the 1980s.
He had props
and he was good.
He was a funny comic.
But it'll be cyclical.
It'll come back.
Like,
ladies with ukuleles
had to go away for a time.
It was necessary
that we purge ukulele women
from comedy.
How many were there?
Oh my God.
I don't know.
Is this him?
The legendary Wid?
That's it.
Legendary Wid.
Yeah.
That's the dude.
And he would do
like science-based humor.
He was a funny guy.
So this is,
you know,
I saw him in like 88,
88, 89.
But the point was
that guy was really funny
when he started
busting out the props.
Yeah.
And we were like,
I was like,
why don't you just do props?
This is your thing.
Yeah.
Like that kind of humor,
his kind of humor,
it's almost like
it's missing something
in just the,
just the straight stand-up form.
There's like,
there's waves of,
things become trendy
and then people
who can't really do it
very well jump onto it
and then it gets lame
and people stop doing it.
Well,
a lot of it is
one guy gets really successful
doing it
and then that becomes his thing.
We had a run of people
pretending to be retarded
in Australia.
It was like five years.
How hard did they try?
Really hard.
Were they on the border
and just like
slowed it down a little?
We had sweaters,
people having like fireworks
that they would fire
into themselves
and everyone would like
come out with cards
and read their act.
That's what happens
when you take away
everyone's guns.
They're trying to take them
away again, again.
Again, again.
They already took them
all away
and then somehow
we still had a massive
shooting
and now the response is,
well, maybe we could
take even more of them away.
What was the nationality
of the people
that caused the shooting?
The son, I think,
was born in Australia
and the dad,
there was a big fight
over it on Twitter
where people were going,
he's Pakistani.
I remember that
but I didn't,
I don't anymore.
He's not quite Pakistani.
I don't anymore.
I don't get in there.
The big argument
was over the religion
of the hero
who took one of the guns away.
So like,
the cops were apparently
cowering,
that's the narrative,
I don't know.
But one guy ran up
and it's a great video
of a guy like,
he runs at a guy
with a gun
and wrestles the gun
off him
and aims the gun at him
and he does let the guy
get away,
he doesn't want to kill him.
Which is kind of crazy.
The guy just killed
how many people?
Oh and then,
I think the guy gets a gun
and goes on killing people.
No.
Yeah,
but he's not a killer,
this guy who wrestled
the gun off him.
He was just a heroic man.
Well, beat him in the head
with the butt
like in the movies.
I don't know what,
I mean I wouldn't have ever
run up to a man with a gun.
I would have been out of there.
But the argument was
what religion was the guy
who took the gun.
Because people on the right
really didn't want him
to be a Muslim.
They were like,
it was a huge thing
on X of people.
People on the right
didn't want him
to be a Muslim?
It was Muslim shooters
but then it looked like
his name was like
Ahmed Al-Amed or something.
But hold on,
why would the people
on the right
not want him to be a Muslim?
Because then you can go
this is a Muslim thing.
Muslims were doing the shooting
and we can just go
let's deal with the Muslims.
Oh, you mean the people,
the guy who captured the guy?
The guy who wrestled
the gun off him
was also a Muslim
which then makes it like
Oh, so was he?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, his name is like
Muhammad Mohamadson.
Imagine being a regular Muslim
and having to deal
with these crazy
There he is.
That guy.
Yeah, people love him
but man people
Why didn't he shoot
the guy in the foot?
If you didn't want to kill him
shoot him and blow
his fucking ankle off.
Because no one can really do that
and then it's a big
look at him go.
Oh, that's amazing.
And he doesn't do anything.
He doesn't do anything.
So the guy just gets away?
The guy does get away.
Oh, this is not good.
But then after he lets him get away
I think he drops the gun
and he goes away
and then he gets shot
again in the arm.
But who knows what to do
when there's a live
Yeah, you don't know what to do.
Well, that's a good person.
That's a good person.
He is a national hero
at the moment
and I think if he had
man people wanted him
to be a Maronite Christian
so bad
the Groypers were desperate
for him to be
there was a lot of people
going well actually
You know, that's the real problem
we have in this country
we want to pretend
that people actually
exist in groups
even if there's high percentages
of people from groups
that are doing bad things
there's still a giant percentage
that are not
and to alienate all those people
by just lumping it all in
as one group together
imagine
like imagine
you're a peaceful Muslim
and you have to deal
with this shit
and you're like
guys, I just want to pray
I'm just trying to like
find oneness with God
that's all I'm trying to do
I love twirling
yeah
I'm one of the twirling ones
they're my favorite ones
personally
what's a twirling
the twirling dervishes
they just love twirling
they love to twirl
but the
twirling
I was trying to figure out
what you were saying
twirling
but this is what's
so after that
the government comes out
and is like cracking down
on right wing extremism
because it's a lefty government
and they go
clearly we have a problem
with right wing extremism
so now they're trying
to reclassify
like
you know
globalized
infatada
jihadism
as a form of
right wing extremism
which I'd never
which like
yeah
I guess it's not
commie lefty stuff
well you have to look at it
on paper
objectively it is
yeah but I don't know
how much they hang out
I don't know if these guys
I don't think these guys
are reading like
I don't know
William F. Buckley Jr.
and stuff
it's still
let's break down
what is right wing then
okay
let's say this
okay
do they want to
completely control
women's behavior
and completely dictate
whether or not
the woman can leave
the house
with certain clothes on
what they're allowed
to do
right
yeah
that's kind of
a right wing thing
isn't it
yes
total religious
adherence
they want a religious state
yeah but the Taliban
want to dance
with little boys
that seems like
a left wing thing
that's a separate
break off group
they're like the Baptists
they're like the Catholics
you know what I mean
you got your regular
Christians
and then you got
some other motherfuckers
that are out there
running wild
with new rules
but you're talking
main line
Mormons
how about this
what are Mormons
yeah but that's what I'm saying
it's like
they're a break off group
it's not
the ones who are
banging the boys
that's not normal
there's a lot of guys
out there that are
Muslim that are not
ba
