Joe Rogan Podcast, check it out.
The Joe Rogan Experience.
Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day.
Great and powerful, nice promise.
Joe Rogan, my man.
The greater and more powerful Joe Rogan.
Good seeing you, my brother. What the fuck's happening?
Not much. Just been in Austin. Did the Vulcan this weekend. It was great.
That's a great room.
Great room. Great crowds. Been having fun.
Austin had barbecue about 15 times already.
Every time I come here, I just, I don't have solid shits.
It's a tough town to have solid shit and it's hard to find fiber.
Do you have an issue after you eat there when you say solid shit?
What do you mean?
What do you mean by solid shit?
I mean, I just, yeah, I mean, there's just no fiber in the meal.
It's just meat, jalapenos, cheddar sausage.
There's a little fiber in those.
A little tiny bit. Not enough.
Coleslaw?
A little coleslaw.
Get the coleslaw in there to lube up the pipes.
Yeah, I got some peach cobbler.
There is a layer of grease around it, but I don't know.
Yeah, yeah.
The body shape is consistent amongst people that enjoy barbecue.
Yeah.
It is a hearty body shape.
It's very parish, yeah.
Very farmer fucking bear huggish.
Yeah.
Lost me. Oh, sorry.
Yeah, but it's the fucking best barbecue on earth.
You know what all came from German immigrants?
I didn't know that.
I thought it was like black people food.
Adam Curry explained the whole thing to me.
Germans came over here from Germany.
Yeah.
And they smoke their meat over there.
It's a common way they prepare meat.
So like smoked sausages and stuff like that.
Like those jalapeno cheddar sausages they have at Terry Black's.
That like originally started out German food.
Oh.
Yeah, they're like really good at smoking meat.
Yeah.
You know, it's like when you go to Montreal and they have smoked meat
sandwiches.
You know, like the Jews, that's the way they handle their brisket and their
corned beef and stuff like that.
And then they do it differently over here, but it all comes from Germany.
Oh.
Isn't that wild?
That is wild.
They do like their meat over there.
Oh, yeah.
I went there.
Their cuisine is atrocious.
Is it?
German food?
I went to like a four-star German restaurant in Munich and it was just, it was
ballpark food.
It was like frank, applesauce, sauerkraut, and mustard.
When you go to a place like Italy, the food is so good.
It's amazing they get them to go to war.
Yeah.
You know, like I think that's my theory, my conspiracy theory about why English
food was so bland.
Well, England dominated the fucking world forever with that bullshit-ass food.
And the Germans too, yeah.
They don't know.
Nobody was fucking great food.
Thailand's not taking over anybody.
Right, yeah.
They don't know how to enjoy life, so they're motivated.
Exactly.
Like, how'd they talk the Italians into doing it?
They barely did.
I mean, they weren't that good, no offense, they weren't that great fighters.
I mean, they invaded Greece, World War II, we beat the shit out of them.
Yeah, listen, my people are not designed for that.
No.
They're not designed to go to war.
But they were with the Roman army, which is wild.
That is true.
Back then, when syphilis was running rampant, everybody was dying when they
were 12.
Yeah.
You could get people to fight easier.
Well, was that before Marco Polo?
Like, maybe that was before Marco Polo brought the noodle over.
Like, maybe that was before pre-
Right, maybe the noodle ruined everything.
Ruined everything.
They figured out pasta.
Yeah, once they got the pasta, they were like, dude, I can't.
What the fuck is this?
This is too good.
I can't.
Yeah.
You know, it's interesting, like, the food that we consider Italian food is, we
think
of it as, it's East Coast immigrant Italian food.
Yeah.
You know, I really, I learned that from Bourdain.
He explained all that shit to me.
It's like, we think of our food over here is like what immigrants would eat and
they would
make everything very filling and, you know, a lot of pasta and a lot of, like,
breading
in the meatballs and lasagna and all that stuff.
You don't really find that that much in Italy.
Yeah.
No, they, you know, you can't find a good chicken parm hero.
Right.
Yeah.
Or lasagna.
Yeah.
They're always like.
A spicy rigatoni.
That's fucking American food.
Yeah.
You get it in Italy, they give you like four gnocchi.
Yeah.
And it's like very light and they eat such small portions.
And when you're American, you're like, where is the lumberjack special?
Well, I guess that's probably real similar to a lot of Chinese food over here,
right?
Like, I mean, how authentic is, there's a lot of Americanized Chinese food with
a heavy
monosodium glutamate.
Yeah, I don't think.
Which, by the way, is fucking delicious.
Yeah.
There's a reason why they use it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And yeah, I don't think they, I don't think they have General Tso's chicken
over there.
Probably don't.
No.
And I don't even think Indians have chicken tikka masala.
It's just, they figured out something like white Americans like and they went
with it.
Oh, sort of like when you get a Chilean sea bass.
That's not a sea bass.
Right.
That's a cod.
Yeah.
And if you get chicken in China, I think like it's the foot.
Like they'll, you know how like you'll, here you'll sue if you see a chicken
foot over
there.
They're like, that's what I was hoping for.
Can I get some rat fritters on the side?
That's what's interesting about some cultures.
They take food that we would just chuck and they make it delicious.
Like Mexicans with menudo, when you get all the, what is it called?
It's intestines, but it's, what is the word for it?
Tripe?
Yes.
Tripe.
So it's like cow stomach and stuff like that.
And it's all boiled up in this pot with this like heavy, thick, spicy red sauce.
You ever have menudo, like real menudo from a real legit Mexican spot?
I haven't.
No.
Oh my God.
Yeah.
There was some spots in LA where you get menudo.
And there's this one, what's it called?
The big burrito that was in, um, they have like weekend menudo at some of these
spots.
Yeah.
Like they only cook it up on Saturday and Sunday when everyone's hungover.
It's fucking insane.
Well, the Greeks have the same thing.
Uh, it's a delicacy and I love it and I was raised on it.
It's called cocoretzi, which is the guts of the lamb wrapped in the intestines
and it's delicious.
And then maieritza, the soup, they put the guts in the soup and it's delicious.
Isn't that what chitlins is?
Kind of.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Isn't that?
Yeah.
I think it's the same thing.
How do you, you spell it differently, right?
It's spelled like chitterlings, I think.
And I think it's the, they do the pig.
It's the pig.
Is it pig intestines?
Is that what it is?
Yeah.
We do, we do the lamb, dude.
The Greeks are the biggest predator of lambs.
Mmm.
It's not like the wolves, it's Greeks.
Lambs are very good for you.
Oh, it's great.
It's very easy to digest, apparently.
For, um, like, uh, you know, Jordan Peterson is on that carnivore diet thing.
His wife is, but she only eats lamb.
And she's found, like, that's her sweet spot, is just only eating lamb.
It's very nutritious.
Yeah, it's sweet meat.
It's very good.
Yeah.
It's very good.
But it's also a baby lamb.
Or a baby sheep.
Yeah.
That's what a lamb is.
Yeah, what can you do?
It's like, we have a name for it.
We're just eating babies.
Yeah.
But that's what veal is, too.
Like, if you have a veal parmesan, you're eating a baby cow.
Yeah.
But the thing is, like, is that worse or better than killing it when it's older
and eating it?
I was about to think that, yeah.
Is it better, like, to not let it have a good life so it doesn't...
I think it's fine.
The lamb thing is different than the veal thing, though.
Because the veal thing is actually a process where they give a baby cow anemia.
The way they used to do it, they used to tie...
It's really horrific.
They used to tie them up.
And they would feed them, like, some of them were milk-fed.
They would call it milk-fed veal.
But I don't know if that's how they did it.
I don't know what they fed them.
But whatever they fed them, they kept them in the dark.
They kept them motionless so that they have no muscle.
Like, whatever you get...
It's a very small amount of meat that's on it in comparison to a cow, obviously.
But that meat is just soft as butter, which is kind of creepy.
It's creepy, but...
Not even kind of.
But are we anthropomorphizing it, though?
Like, does the lamb know?
Does the animal know?
We know.
Yeah, we know.
We know.
Yeah.
That's why, you know, to me, it's always been weird if people freak out if you
eat bears.
If you tell people that you eat bear, they're like, what the fuck is wrong with
you?
Like, if there's a thing out there that you should be eating, it's bears.
But trigonosis.
Yeah, but it's the same with pork.
Yeah.
You just cook it.
Yeah.
You just have to make sure you have a meat thermometer.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's got to be perfect, right, with bear, though, or else you've got to, like,
know what you're doing.
Yeah, yeah, you can get it.
And apparently, according to my friend Steve Rinella, who's an expert in this,
because he actually
has trigonosis, he said that 90% of all the cases...
All the cases and trigonosis in this country come from people eating black bear.
How many people are eating black bear?
A lot.
You'd be surprised.
Yeah, you'd be surprised, particularly in Alaska.
They eat it a lot up there.
They eat it a lot in places where it's traditional to hunt there, like Montana,
even in New Jersey.
New Jersey finally is reinstituting the bear hunt, because the governor, one of
the things
he ran on was stopping the bear hunt, but then human bear encounters rose by
over 200%.
There was a lot of human bear encounters with aggressive bears.
And so they said, oh, you really do need to manage these populations, because
they just
keep getting bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger.
And it only takes a couple of years for a bear to get big enough to fuck you up.
Yeah.
It's not like a person, you know?
Yeah, yeah.
It's quick.
Yeah.
And so then you have these four or five-year-old giant fucking bears running
around, eating
people's dogs, tearing up your neighborhood.
They're like real predators.
They don't know the rules.
They have them up by me, and supposedly, are they dangerous?
Because people are like, oh, they're not dangerous.
Of course they're dangerous.
They always run away.
Most of the time they run away.
Yeah.
But they're 100% capable of killing you.
Yeah.
That's dangerous.
Yeah.
It's not a chicken.
Yeah.
It's not a wild chicken run or lose.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Did you ever see that video of the two duking it out in Far Rockaway, New
Jersey?
No.
Oh, my God, dude.
So Far Rockaway, it's like a very nice neighborhood, a very suburban
neighborhood.
And there's these bears that look like they're easy 300-plus pounds, and they're
going to war,
knocking over trash cans, fighting the street, cars are pulled over and stopped,
and they're
fighting over which bear gets to raid the garbage, because they all eat the
garbage.
When a bear finds out there's garbage in an area, he's coming back.
So look at these guys.
Imagine your fucking house.
Look at the size of those things, man.
And they're duking it out right on the front lawn.
Those are big-ass bears, man.
They're shooting the fair one.
And so these bears are fighting over territory.
The territory being the garbage.
Yeah, the garbage.
And also breeding.
So this is probably around the time where the females are getting hot.
So it could be one of two things they're fighting over, or both of those things.
Or just dominance.
Like they don't want another big male trying to take over the territory.
So these guys are like lions that are duking it out, except they're doing it in
front of a fucking mailbox.
That's a giant predator, man.
That's crazy, yeah.
Like if that thing chased you down and wanted to kill you, you would have zero
chance of survival.
Zero.
Absolutely zero.
They say don't run, right?
Don't
