Joe Rogan Experience #2248 - Michael Waddell

Joe Rogan Podcast, check it out.
The Joe Rogan Experience.
Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day.
What's going on, my man?
Joe, good.
Is that Bigfoot on your shirt?
That is.
It is Bigfoot.
Non-vegan?
Yeah.
How do they know Bigfoot's not a vegan?
See, I don't know.
I mean, but I think he's got canines like us, so there's a good chance that he
does eat
meat, you know?
I think hunters are the number one argument against Bigfoot being real.
I've never met a hunter who's seen Bigfoot.
No, and especially some of your guests you've had on, and on top of, I mean,
even myself,
and now you spend a lot of times in some pretty desolate places, and all the
trail cameras,
we should have gotten one picture.
Yeah, trail cameras throw a big monkey wrench into that Bigfoot thing.
I agree, and I'm always, it's still, you know, the conspiracy that I'm still,
every time I
check, especially when you're getting those deep, dark places out west, and all
throughout
the country, and even the south, I'm thinking, maybe just this time.
It would be fun.
Yeti.
It would be fun, but it's just, it's very unlikely.
I mean, there's only like two jaguars in the United States, and they know
exactly where
they are.
Well, that's exactly right.
I mean, I was thinking back and even listening, you know, like you've had Rinella,
of course,
Cam, a lot of my hunting buddies and people I look up to as well, Remy Warren,
all those
guys, and you start thinking about the amount of time we spend in the woods,
and we don't
even see a mountain lion, or you talk about the wolves, all these wolves are
starting to
be reintroduced, and you still don't see them a lot of times, they're there,
but then
again, you capture them on trail cameras, you know, in the middle of the night,
but yet
Yeti, or Sasquatch, only Jack Link's beef jerky has seen him.
I saw him on a Super Bowl commercial.
Yeah, they're in a lot of commercials, they're in movies.
I think they used to be real.
I think it used to be a real thing.
I mean, they know there's a thing called the Gigantopithecus that lived
somewhere around
100,000 years ago that was a bipedal hominid that was 8 to 10 feet tall.
Holy cow.
Look, in the orangutan family, I think they believe it was.
That'd be something to get Graham Hancock on.
We need to get him back to find that creature.
He's busy.
He's busy with a lot of other shit.
It's like just trying to sort out the past, trying to sort out human history.
That was some of the most intriguing.
I was dug deep into that, and then went, because of hearing him on the podcast,
and went and
watched, just finished season two, watched season one soon after I'd seen him
here first.
It's pretty compelling.
It's pretty amazingly compelling.
Well, once you realize, first of all, that there's real physical evidence that
something
happened around 11,800 years ago, that the Earth was most likely pounded with
asteroid debris,
and it probably fucked civilization up pretty bad, and it can happen again.
It makes complete sense.
Yeah.
It's, I mean, hearing his perspective on it, and how he researched it, and it's
from the
standpoint, there's, you know, as we know, politics and everything gets
involved in everything.
You know, and it's just almost like he was a journalistic, really smart,
intellectual guy
who was intrigued.
It's just a good approach to the way he studied it to me that made it even more
compelling.
And then the findings he did find.
I don't know.
I just, I was very intrigued.
You know how he really got into it?
No.
He got into it researching the Ark of the Covenant.
Really?
Yeah, because in Ethiopia, there's a specific church in Ethiopia that has
always been rumored
to be the place where the Ark of the Covenant is stored, and there's these
guarders of this,
these people that are guards of this area, and they all develop cataracts.
They all have, like, radiation poisoning, and they're guarding this one
particular area.
They won't let anybody look at it.
They won't let anybody talk about it, and Graham got fascinated by this, and
they started doing
a deep dive into history and historical accounts of the Covenant and the Ark
and all these bizarre
stories that have lasted throughout history.
And the real evidence that there was really sophisticated societies that lived
thousands
and thousands of years ago, when we kind of assumed that people were hunters
and gatherers,
you know?
Egypt is a great example of that.
Like, whatever they were doing there was fucking insane.
Right.
I mean, the structures that they made, still today, we look at them and go, "What
the hell
were you guys doing?"
Yeah.
How was this made?
Yeah.
And he believes that society had reached a very, very sophisticated level of
technological achievement, and then something happened.
Mm-hmm.
And that we're living in, like, a rebuild.
Even though we're very sophisticated, you know, in terms of technology, our
technology's
gone in a completely different direction than theirs did.
And where did Graham ever, in his conclusion in some of that about the Covenant,
did he ever
think that it's still there?
They think it's still there, yeah.
So some people thought it might have burned up in Jerusalem, I think it was, or...
See if you can find where that is, Jamie.
It's supposed to be in some church in Ethiopia.
Oh, Jamie's already got it.
So...
I just had watched something on that, 'cause I'm intrigued by all that kind of
stuff.
Well, you know, when you really start digging deep into it, it's very
fascinating.
This one particular place has been protected for so long, and all these people
that have
supposedly seen it describe something that's...
You know, Trump apparently has, like, a model of the Ark of the Covenant at Mar-a-Lago.
No way.
Yeah, see if you can find that.
Yeah, he's got, like, a recreation of the Ark of the Covenant in Mar-a-Lago.
And that whole covenant was pretty cool based on how, you know, God had said,
look at, you
know, had an intervention saying, "This is how big it's gotta be."
Yeah.
And it was built out of a certain wood, inside and out, gold, the handles,
everything was
there to hold the commandments.
And then I...
I...
But then I saw something to where...
I don't know if Jamie...
Jamie and Mike have probably pulled it up, but to where some people speculate
it could
be under the Catholic Church.
I heard that.
Like in the Vatican or something?
In the Vatican.
Yeah.
And then...
They got a lot of shit in the Vatican.
Oh, my goodness.
Have you ever been there?
No, I haven't.
But I heard you talk about...
You went...
Yeah.
...and had the guide and said it was amazing.
Like, "Oh, there's millions of dollars in art.
Like, where'd you guys steal all this from?"
It's back in the Roman days.
Look at this.
This is Trump's replica of the Ark of the Covenant at Mar-a-Lago.
Pretty.
That's just like...
Pretty fucking wild.
And it's almost exactly the...
Yeah.
...the replica of what it's assumed to have been looked like, you know?
Well, I mean, it's...
I think that's a recreation based on biblical accounts.
Absolutely.
Very strange.
Well, maybe Trump can take us and show it to us, man.
That'd be cool.
What'd you say, Jamie?
I was trying to figure out if...
I mean, clearly it was there.
It might have just been there temporarily.
It looks like that might be, like, on display in Israel or something.
Oh.
I don't know.
So it's a replica that travels around?
Is that what it is?
Temporarily?
Is that Mar-a-Lago?
Yeah.
I can't find, like, that it lives there, but there's definitely, obviously,
people with
pictures of it.
Bro, if I had Trump money, I'd have one built.
Like, make me another one of these.
Oh, why not?
Come on.
I would, too.
I would, too.
It's a cool thing to have on display.
I mean, I wonder what it was.
I mean, if these guys really are guarding it in Ethiopia, like, what is the
radiation from?
Like, why do they all get developing cataracts and radiation sickness?
Yeah.
And we've all watched Harrison Ford try to find it.
Exactly.
Exactly.
It's so fun.
It is fun.
All that ancient civilization stuff is so fun because it is really kind of a
mystery,
you know?
And it's fascinating when, and I'm sure you've been hunting before and you've
found arrowheads.
Yes.
A lot.
A lot.
When you find one of those, you're picking up this piece of history.
You've got to imagine, some Native American was napping this flint on his knee,
sitting
there, who knows how many thousands of years ago.
Exactly.
They find 3,000, 4,000 year old arrowheads.
And you've just got to go, "God, what was life like then, man?"
Oh, I can only imagine.
And like where I'm from in Georgia, and obviously you and I both love archery,
but all the arrowheads
I find are quartz.
So we have very little flint, and I'm not at all historically sound on
understanding everything.
I mean, I've got friends.
Actually, Jeff Foxworthy is one of those guys.
He lives right down the road.
He is obsessed with Indian artifacts and has an amazing collection.
It goes across the country.
You know, it's hard.
You can call Jeff right now.
You probably can't get him to Austin to come do this podcast.
But then all you've got to do is tell him, "Hey, man, I just plowed up a field
and it rained,
and we just found two nice flint heads.
He'd probably be here tomorrow."
Really?
I mean, he loves it.
He's eat up with it.

Seriously, get on this.
This is a dude I know who has a ranch out here, and he finds them all the time.
It's Comanche territory where his ranch is in the Hill Country.
Oh, yeah.
And he, every day.
Go to that guy's page, Whitworth, JW Whitworth.
JM Whitworth?
JW Whitworth.
I think it's JW.
But he's got incredible arrowheads that he, he's like just obsessed with
finding them on this ranch.
And this ranch apparently was just overrun by the Comanche.
It's very fertile and rich and, you know, soil is great and a lot of, you know,
water habitat, a lot of deer.
And so they must have just camped there and lived there for a long time.
It's JM, but it's also private.
Oh, it is?
Oh, he's private now?
That's probably because we blew him up.
I think that's when he went private.
Because he didn't used to be private, but that's some of the things that he
finds.
See, that's amazingly beautiful stuff.
He sent me a couple of them.
There's a company I found, actually I was in Illinois at this, it was a beer
and deer fest in Illinois.
And I went by this booth.
See, that is absolutely gorgeous.
Yeah, Remy said that that was probably used for fishing.
Very well could have been.
Because it's so large, he said it's probably used to shoot fish.
It seems that a lot of the arrowheads are, you know, the ones that was actually
attached to shoot with archery were a lot smaller.
Like, you know, some people might argue that, I don't know enough about it.
Like, is it a spearhead?
I found some heads.
Like, look at this, I found.
Like, well, that's a spearhead.
Or that's this, or th
