Joe Rogan Experience #2154 - Remi Warren

Joe Rogan Podcast, check it out.
The Joe Rogan Experience.
Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day.
Cheers, sir.
Cheers, good to see you, man.
We're just saying, you're a professional podcaster now, too.
Yeah, I guess.
A little bit different, you know.
It's wild, man.
I mean, when I met you, nobody's podcasting.
No.
You're like, you should podcast.
You can do a really good podcast.
I'm like, all right, I'll podcast.
I wonder how many podcasts I've talked people into doing.
A lot.
I think you're responsible for most of my Spotify playlist.
It's got to be over 50.
At this time, the amount of people that actually have podcasts that got
podcasts after I told
them, you should probably do a podcast.
Yeah.
People were getting annoyed at me.
I ran into people that would tell me personally in the street, dude, I love
your podcast, but
please stop telling everybody to do a podcast.
I was like, why?
What if they're good at it?
What if they get good at it?
Yeah.
Like, what's the harm?
You don't like it?
Don't download it.
It's super easy to deal with.
It is.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That was the thing.
You're just like, Remy, you know what you need to do?
What?
Podcast.
I was like, I think you told me three times before it got.
Fuck.
Well, you're a great podcast guest.
So if you're a great podcast guest and you were great on that show, Apex Predator.
Yeah.
Thanks.
Like, it's simple.
You're a good talker.
Yeah.
I just tell people what I need, I guess.
And your perspective is very interesting because your perspective is a guy that
hunts, like,
how many days a year do you hunt?
Now, I don't know.
It's probably...
Down to 200?
Yeah, something like that.
No, seriously.
That is.
That's nuts.
That's most of the year.
Most of the year you're in the woods.
Yeah, exactly.
Which is crazy.
That's like super unusual for a human being.
It is, yeah.
Living in America in 2024, what percentage of the population do you, like,
consider your peers?
A very small percentage.
There's, like, campaigns, Rinella, you, Dudley, but I don't think those guys
hunt as much,
you know?
No, yeah.
They don't hunt as much because you guide as well.
Yeah, I'm just, like, a different kind of addict where I just have to be out
there and
be doing it.
Well, it's, you know, to people that don't know, it's an amazing experience
just to be
out there.
It's amazing.
It's, like, nothing else that you...
It's literally wild.
It is, yeah.
And there's a lot of wild things that you do that are, like, wow, this is wild.
But, no, this is literally wild.
Yeah.
Like, for real wild.
I think the thing is, for me, is I can go out there and every...
You don't know what you're going to encounter.
Right.
You, like, it's not a mundane experience.
Everything, you have to be aware.
It's, like, you could be out there and one day this happens and everything's
fine and the
next day you get attacked by a bear and the next day you're, like, it snows on
you and
you're freezing.
It's just, every day is so different and even doing it over and over and over,
nothing's
ever the same.
And it can't be.
No.
You know, I mean, there's too many different environments.
Like, you just got back.
I was listening to your podcast about hunting for muskox.
Yep.
And that experience of, like, hours and hours every day in just whiteness.
Yeah.
Just snow and nothing but on snowmobiles.
Like, that fucking freaks me out.
It's a...
That was the best part about it is just, like, the place.
Sometimes hunting takes you to those really cool places that you never thought
you'd go.
Like, nobody goes above the Arctic Circle unless they're a scientist figuring
out, you know,
global warming shit or somebody going hunting.
Because it's not...
I guess there's a few people doing polar expeditions and things like that, but
it's not a place
you just go vacation.
Is this from your Instagram?
So this is what it's like out there?
Oh, wow.
So it's, like, little trailers out there?
Yeah.
You're just, you're essentially traveling on frozen ocean, and you look at the
size of
the Arctic, and it's, like, larger than North America.
Is it really?
I'm not sure exactly how big it is, but when you look at the whole Arctic
Circle, that whole
region, it is massive.
Is it really larger than North America?
Larger than the United States, for sure.
Wow.
And so, larger than the United States, and it's all just snow?
I guess it's part of North America, so you can't really say it's larger than
North America.
Yeah.
It's just wild.
It's frozen snow.
And then there's, so there's, like, the frozen ocean, and then there's islands
in it that
would be land.
Kind of has some undulation in there, like, little hills.
And there's an Arctic hair just digging.
It's like, what do they eat?
Yeah.
They eat the tundra, I guess.
The Arctic hair and the ptarmigans, right?
Yeah.
Like, what do they eat?
I don't know.
Just the grasses, seeds.
Just whatever pops up out of the little spots where they can find.
Yeah.
And it's not all, the thing about it is, it's super windy all the time, too,
because
there's nothing to stop the wind.
So, it's really cold.
And then it's even colder because you get that wind chill.
But that wind blows pretty fierce.
And that wind's always moving the snow.
So, the snow's always there, but there would be, like, a lot of drifts.
But it'll cause areas where there's maybe a hill to blow open.
So, that's what the muskox eat.
That's what the Arctic hair is.
So, you find, like, those kind of areas and there's food sources there.
How crazy is that?
You're relying on the wind to uncover the snow to give you enough food to
sustain.
It's wild.
And then just sustain an animal that's that large.
Yeah.
As large as a muskox.
Well, that gives me hope for Bigfoot.
Yeah.
Exactly.
When people say, well, they eat.
Well, muskox live out in Antarctica.
Yeah.
Or the Arctic Circle.
Yeah.
The Arctic.
And when you're out there, how many people live there full-time?
I can't remember.
I think it's under 1,000.
Wow.
And that's, like, a larger.
We flew into, like, a larger area and then went over 100 miles from there.
What do those folks do, for the most part?
There's some in the summertime, there's, like, fishing and then hunting in the
wintertime.
And that's what they live off of?
Yeah, there is stuff.
Like, some of the more remote.
There's other villages that don't have, you know, like, an airplane that goes
to it or whatever.
And they're purely subsistence or getting things in a couple times a year.
Like, that particular spot, the fuel comes in once a year.
Once a year?
Yeah.
And so if somebody pokes a hole in the fuel tank, you're fucked.
That's it.
Yeah, you're done.
Oh, my God.
It's pretty crazy.
Fuel comes in once a year is such a crazy thing to say.
Like, you've got to plan for the whole year.
How much fuel?
Everybody uses diesel for everything, heating, everything.
And if you don't have it, you're fucked.
Yeah.
Wow.
Very, very, very crazy.
Like, I don't know, it's just there's places in the world that are so unlike
what we're used to.
Oh, yeah.
And that's one of them.
Imagine, there's people that are going to live their whole life there.
Oh, yeah.
Most of the people that I met had never left that village.
Wow.
Imagine taking them to Hawaii.
They'd be like, what the fuck am I doing with my life?
This is so ridiculous.
I don't know.
I could be in Hawaii.
I don't know if they would like it.
What are you talking about?
Everybody likes Hawaii.
Yeah.
They would love it.
You would think, but it's just like, that's what they know.
I think it'd be too hot.
They'd be like, I don't like this place.
I'll take too hot all day over fucking freezing tundra and wind and fuck that.
You mind sweating a little bit?
You're next to the ocean, jump in the water, cool off, relax.
They like their food.
They like to eat stuff that I wasn't a fan of.
It's called muck tuck.
It's like essentially whale fat that's been like cured.
Whoa, like fermented?
Not fermented.
It's more like salted.
Almost like whale beef jerky.
Oh, like, okay.
Yeah.
Whale fat.
That's what it looks like?
Yeah.
That's it.
Bourdain told me that fermented shark was the most disgusting thing he ever ate.
Yeah, I haven't had that, but I've heard it's really bad.
And they love it.
And apparently, wherever the fuck it is, I guess it's Iceland would they eat a
lot?
Iceland, yeah.
That's what it looks like, Jamie?
Yeah.
Does that what it would look like when you were eating it?
Yeah.
What does it taste like?
I don't know.
It's like greasy rotten fish maybe.
Oh.
No.
Not a fan.
What kind of whale is it, too?
The guys, some of the Inuit guys, they have like preferred whale kinds.
They like narwhal the best, is what he said, and then beluga whale.
And then there's other whales that they don't like as much.
Hmm.
So, yeah, like when the community gets like a, they do all that in the
summertime.
And then they save it for the wintertime.
But I guess you'd need to eat a lot of fat to survive the winter.
Whale, in my brain, goes into the same category as monkey.
Like you're eating whale or you're eating monkey.
I'm like, yo, do you have to do that?
No.
Yeah, I'm not a fan.
It seems like you probably shouldn't do that.
Yeah, I had tried Muktuk before.
And so when they busted it out, I was like, I will pass.
Thank you.
Were they offended?
No.
I think that they just didn't get it, you know.
Right.
Like their whole culinary experience, too, is like, we got the muskox and it
was really,
it was like really good meat.
And, you know, I cooked it up with some like garlic and canned mushrooms in a
pan and do it how I like, like medium rare.
And it was phenomenal.
And the way they do their cooking is they just boil it.
They like it boiled.
Everything.
Everything.
But you think about it.
I mean, they've lived so long in a lot of isolation.
No doctors, none of this.
So they're very cautious about their food.
And they just don't want to get sick from it or anything like that.
So for probably their entire forever, just overcook the food and then you don't
get sick.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
If you get a parasite up there, you're in real trouble.
You're in trouble.
So they just, everything's boiled.
They like it boiled.
Well, I guess if you drink the broth, too, you know, it's like a soup.
Yeah.
Like kind of a meat soup.
Right.
It's probably a good way to be like effective.
Like you don't need to cook in fat that way.
Yeah.
They just boil it and then they've got everything in the pot and that's.
And they get their dietary fat from just this whale fat stuff.
Yeah.
Do they eat anything else that they get dietary fat from?
No, I think whales, they eat seals.
They probably have no diseases.
Yeah.
No cancer, no heart attacks.
Like nothing.
Everybody lives to 110.
Yeah, I don't know.
Yeah.
It's probably good.
It's probably good for you.
Those people that live, have you ever seen that Werner Herzog film, Happy
People?
Oh, man, I can't remember.
It's the one where the trappers in the taiga in Siberia.
No, I haven't seen it.
It's an amazing documentary.
So Werner Herzog went to Siberia and hung out.
I don't know if he was just narrating it or if he was actually there.
I think he was just narrating it.
Maybe he went there, but someone went there.
Point is like these people are extremely happy and they just, all they do is go
trapping and
fishing and hunting and they live in these villages and they go around on snowmobiles.
And it's kind of, it's interesting because it's like, what is life supposed to
be about?
Is it supposed to be about enjoying yourself or is it supposed to be about
accomplishing
things?
Because if it's supposed to be about accomplishing things and you don't enjoy
yourself, it seems
like you're kind of missing part of the point of life.
And these people, their life is enjoyable.
Like they love fishing.
They're laughing and they're, when they're going hunting, they're talking about
hunting, how
much they love hunting and fishing and it's fun and you, you know, get all this
food and
they, they're just pulling these massiv
