The Joe Rogan experience
That could be a thing like you know like they used to have duels
So if a duel was like two guys would agree like I fucking you annoy me so much
I'm gonna get a gun and we're gonna back-to-back
We're gonna walk ten feet and shoot at each other fuck you like you're ready to
die
Maybe you'll shoot me, but I'm gonna fucking at least be able to shoot you like
a man
And we're gonna go and do this they agree to do that
I guarantee years ago. I think I'm not long. Well wasn't at least one of our
presidents involved in something
Like that I think so but if I can't remember who or any deals behind it
One of our presidents was in a duel right while he was president. Do you
remember what was killed?
Alexander Hamilton really I was like the whole thing, but was he even president?
Hold on
No, Alexander Hamilton died in a duel
Hamilton wasn't president remember that we talked about him the other day drink
milk commercials like Aaron Burr
I mean good. I can't say Aaron Burr
Huh? There's an old milk commercial from the 90s. It was a guy radio call who
like if you answer this question you win a million dollars
Right who killed Alexander Hamilton they call like the Alexander Hamilton guy?
He's got all the shit in his apartment. Oh, and he's mouth is full of a peanut
butter jelly sandwich. You can't say Aaron Burr. Oh
That's right. I forgot about that commercial
As I'm saying out loud. I feel like he wasn't president. No, he wasn't we
talked about the other day
Remember someone brought up that who was it that brought that up that he he had
gotten
Blackmailed Andrew Jackson, maybe
Did he kill but he got he got but Hamilton got blackmailed because he he was
banging this lady and her and her husband set him up
Remember right? Yeah, that's the play who talked to us about that. It was real
recently
I was one of the recent guests
Who fuck was Omar was it probably might have been sound like something he would
talk about
How many of these you do what two or three podcasts a week sometimes four
sometimes five on a crazy week?
Yeah, and you and how much you in comedy?
This week for four four nights a week
By the way your show your show killed it when I was out
Yeah, and all your openers you had great guys - president Andrew Jackson. Thank
you
May 30th 1806 future president Andrew Jackson kills a man who accused him of
cheating on a horse race bet and
Then insulted his wife Rachel Wow
He had a lot of duels. Oh, he had a lot of duel. Yeah a few duels. No big deal
more than a hundred
What can you imagine Biden or Trump doing a duel?
Yes, it's what not every duel ended and so I remember looking this up not every
duel and someone dying click on that
Of course not. They had terrible guns. Their guns were terrible. You're
probably real. That's just insane
That's insane. He was a savage
I think he even had one where he got shot and and survived the shooting to end
up shooting that guy back
Whoa, look at our presidents now. We had guys like that and Teddy Teddy
Roosevelt
And now what did you see the video today of Biden?
He starts talking about Afghanistan and Pakistan and an Easter bunny comes and
takes him away
I'm looking that up after the show
It's just the funny part people that can't admit something's wrong with them
look at this but hold on go right there
But Jackson didn't settle a score in a hundred and forty characters or less
He challenged his foes to duels more than a hundred of them one opponent even
died
So he only killed one guy, but that was a guy who insulted his wife
However, for the most part people would stand and fire their gun in the air
Purposefully missed their opponent making the duel more about a test of courage
when one's honor was at stake or their reputation was threatened
Oh, that's interesting if you back down and you're you know giant pussy, but
you don't shoot at each other like you make a deal
Like barely I'm not gonna shoot you
Maybe that's what you were hoping
Yeah, that's a fucking that's quite quite a risk to take. That's a big risk.
Hope Joe doesn't shoot me in our duel
Yeah, we were I insulted Rachel. What does it say there again? Scroll up
It says not every time Jackson lost his cool with a gun in his hand was is
documented, but here are four that helped him
Helped give him his reputation as a rage-filled lunatic and a few that left his
body rattling like a bag of marbles
Oh, so he had like that was the thing if you got shot back then the
Velocity of those little muskets that is not like getting shot today. I don't
think those things are going that fast
Probably less like less likely to die. You might be able to catch one
And this is the guy they selected as president. So things have always been
crazy apparently. Yeah
Wild dude his pistols, but back then I feel like gunfights are probably pretty
normal, you know
Yeah, someone insults you and I go shoot it out and maybe they will become
again
So when does when did it stop when they would stop? Yeah, I probably like in
the 1900s early 1900s
Maybe World War one brought everybody together
But if you think of the United States and you go to the 1800s, what do you
think of you think a wild west thing of gunfights?
If you think of New York City, you think of gangs in New York, right? Mm-hmm.
Here's the one I would I remember reading about this
He had gotten shot close to his heart and still had
the wherewithal to within a few seconds Dixon fired
Dickinson fired putting the first bullet of the Jackson's chest next to his
heart
Jackson put his hand over the wound to staunch the flow of blood despite smoke
and dust billowing from
Jackson's coat and his hand touching his chest Jackson remains standing puzzling
Dickinson my god
Have I missed him the duals protocol required?
Stated that oh protocol required stated that Dickinson to remain in place while
Jackson aimed to take his shot
Jackson fired but the flint hammer stopped half cocked not counting as a
legitimate shot Jackson aimed again
Ever so carefully and fired a second time this time the shot was good and the
bullet hit Dickinson in the chest and he dropped to the ground
Reflecting on the duel the doctor remarked to Jackson
I don't see how you stayed on your feet after that wound to which Jackson
responded
I would have stood up long enough to kill him if he had put a bullet in my
brain
whoa
It's a hardcore man. That's all that's a president right there. Yeah, right
Things sure have changed. He died later that not Jackson was not prosecuted for
murder and
Dickinson would be the only man he ever killed in a duel something that did not
prevent him from becoming president in
1829
People might not have believed the story either - you know how that story would
not maybe not got around right?
There's no video. Yeah. Yeah, it's hard. You got to be accountable to duels
today. I already killed someone
Right. He had more than a hundred hundred kills
Yeah, hundred duels like you might be an asshole, right? How many people is he
arguing with to the point where they're pulling guns?
That's a lot a hundred right maybe like two or three maybe it's uh, maybe it's
them. It's a hundred. It's probably you
If he's famous, he probably was getting challenged a lot too, you know people
drunk at a bar. There's that Andrew Jackson. Yeah, which shitty booze to
probably
Imagine how bad their whiskey tasted. Oh, like look, there's just a group of
guys and like fuck. I'll fucking fire. Yeah, they're probably so bored
They'll fight anybody back then no TV no internet. Oh, and everybody smelled no
soap
Right every stunk everybody has been so gross teeth were rot now. They're
fucking heads. Oh my god
You imagine living back then everybody must have stunk. Yeah, well things were
so bad people would be like hey
Let's just try like trucking across to the other part of the country. I have no
idea in a wagon
We might might get killed by Indians bears. Yeah, they would fly
Or rather sail in from across the ocean. Mm-hmm. Don't even know what's out
there. Yeah, no idea
Probably gonna die but better than staying here
