Joe Rogan Experience #1387 - Josh Homme

boom boom did you roll in on a motorcycle i did you're a fucking animal in this
day and age
in la traffic but there's a there's a bit of a zen thing happening because if
you don't pay
attention you could die you know oh right you know i and i i find myself trying
to have this
field of view and plus you can't be on the phone right because uh i think
sometimes when it's when
you drive a car you forget to take the moment to do nothing right just sort of
be for a second yeah
and you can listen to tunes and it makes all the songs better like i i don't
know if i fully
appreciated judas priest until i rode a motorcycle and could listen to music
like so you listen like
in your head like you have it in no that one has a i i'm the luxury of having a
couple of them and but
that one's almost like the grandpa bike for going to the movies but is it at
speakers or is it in the
helmet it's speakers i i don't do the helmet because there's so much of that in
my life
anyways like point blank range right right yeah and so it's it's almost like
you kind of end up
rocking your head like that yeah and you're like breaking the law it's it's
sort of like
flips your beavis switch
and and it feels wonderful like the the wind in your hair yeah and and getting
here took
well i don't know where you came from but i i beat you here and i left but
after you did
where did you drive from like um i can't i was sort of over by runyon canyon oh
okay yeah if you live
in like orange county i get it because that's really like the only way you're
gonna get here and not lose
your fucking mind well something that's 21 miles away is 25 minutes away
legitimately yeah yeah i
mean there's a little bit of like should i go stop here and also you're always
going to the front of
traffic which really is the safest place to be at the very front sure just
everyone everyone on each
butt cheek sort of you know the the thing that freaks me out though is the lane
splitting like some
some people are just not paying attention and some people some people are and
they're like fast yeah
that some people work out their their kinky anger on you oh on the bike you
mean yeah like someone's
like no way if i'm stuck in this you're stuck in this that is fucking weird man
that thing's weird
well kind of anger against motorcycles like that they can they can get ahead
and you can't just
i it's it's it's beyond motorcycles you know it's that angriness of like their
their emotional bank
accounts are low in that moment and they're like how about you yeah you can
have that too it's like
sharing the wrong shit yeah that's i think it's people that don't feel like
there's a way out of
the life they're in too there's no there's no light at the end of the tunnel
yeah the missouri
loves company where it's just like welcome to the missouri loves company sit
down and they just
like it's just i don't know i've so much has been happening for me lately and i
just
you have those things when they click and you and then you can't unknow them
once you've learned
something yeah and it's like i see how that is just really attempting to
elevate your own situation
by bringing someone down which is which is impossible and so in that moment
that that's
almost them doing the best they can i know they're trying to kill you but but
it they're
trying to cope with something that's it's just maybe the wrong way it's
definitely the wrong way
no that's one of the weird things about being a kid right like nobody really
tells you how to think
nobody really teaches you how to approach situations in life and what's going
to help you and what's not
going to help you at all no but you learn some funky stuff instead yeah you
know what i mean
and even when you're learning the history of someone it seems like they don't
tell you how they've
wrestled with that emotion to do the right thing or or find a way to just
accept something right like
how did they get to accept that this was their decision that they had to make
right i don't know
there's not there's not much uh there's not many guideposts for how to treat
yourself and other
people but there's like there's there's all sorts of math and stuff like that
yeah but even history
right there's a lot of facts this happened then that happened this is the date
that this took place but
the actual accounts from the human beings and even if you read it it's like i
want to see the person
say it you know i almost that's what the ken burns version of all that there's
one guy in the ken burns
the civil war one who's kind of like was probably alive then too like just it
seems like he's so
passionate about it and he's such a good storyteller and so he's he's adding
the emotions of like
you know when when uh robert e lee was or i'm sorry uh uh the the the union guy
uh
who's this grant grant grant but had a drinking problem but then was like oh
and he probably happened from ptsd you know and he's he's just telling that
story with such
kind of emotional depth that was cool uh it's nice to watch that instead of
read it sometimes
yeah i don't think any of us are ever going to be able to truly understand what
it was like to live
without television without radio without cell phones and war like what and then
war inside the
same continent with other people that are supposed to be just like you that
speak the same language
like yeah that you run the risk of going hey hey gary yeah right especially if
you live in like
fucking virginia or somewhere on the border you could know the person who's
facing you sure and be like
best of luck to you gary i yeah i hope i do and don't get you i don't know what
to think i was reading
this article too about how many murders took place after the war was settled
where you know like
where people like hey you know we're not done bro yeah you killed my whole
fucking family yeah
they're like cool lincoln we're good yeah we're not good let me hang on for a
little bit and start
assassinating people but after after what would seem like a lifetime of that
sort of witnessing that
and doing that and watching things that you recognize as injustice the idea of
someone getting stuck in
the blame and and as a as vendetta in that i can i can i can see that i i but
you see how that's really
it's probably why we're still having problems now it's definitely some part of
it right yeah it's like
my great great great great great told me yeah you know when when people are
sort of like
dipped in that kool-aid of because it my great great great great great felt
this way
i'm supposed to too because yeah we're related so dude i'm almost done with
this book um i'm listening
to this audiobook empire the summer moon it is fucking insane it's all about
the war um
gary fucking gary it's fucking gary uh sc gwyn g-w-y-n-n-e empire the summer
moon it's all about
the uh the war with the plains tribes the plains plains indians versus the
settlers it is fucking
insane man it's insane it's like i all everyone knows that there was european
settlers and they had
conflict with indians and there was a lot of things that happened but until you
read like the
accounts of all the different battles and all the things that happened and all
the slaughters and all
the chaos and and the kid the children and the and and the messages sent by
more violent like oh dude
and and you think you're sending one message but you're really giving the the
wrong one yeah
i i can't i can't imagine and it's so far away for you maybe you and i yeah
that reading that is
like it's like when you don't think about it it's sort of like it's just an app
i don't use or
something in this day and age see if they have a photo of cynthia ann parker
there's a couple photos
of this woman who was a she was kidnapped by the by the comanches when she was
nine and her everyone
in her family was brutally murdered there was a raid on her town but they
kidnapped her and she became a
part of the comanches and she married a chief and had babies with them and then
they they've captured
her again when when these uh settlers so this is a photo of this lady this lady
became a comanche and
then hated coming back to civilization oh she was the comanche finally lost and
that's what she was
kind of forced to do is be re-kidnapped see that's a famous photo of her the
one that you just had jamie
in the left hand side because she's breastfeeding and she has a bare breast and
she's doing this
and they they used it for some sort of newspaper story and they never did that
with with like like a
regular white woman they did it with her because they wanted to show that even
though this woman was
raised uh you know until she was nine years old by white people she became a
savage and that's why
they have her they're breastfeeding her half indian baby it's it's so sad man
the story about her
is so sad because she didn't want to go back well what do you keep trying to
escape what what do you
think the you know everyone does something with some intention and i think
mostly people think
they're it's a good intention whether that works out or not but what do you
think the the thought
process was behind being comanche slaughtering everyone else and saying we're
going to keep this
this gal and and and then kind of take her into the fold that sounds like a
lovingly lovingly taken
in the fold it's so more pragmatic apparently according to this book they they
didn't have
a high birth rate because women would miscarry a lot because they were on
horses all the time yeah
because they rode horses they were they were a wild tribe man it was really
amazing reading the
accounts of rough with their life just so rough but they didn't have like
pottery and baskets but
they're rough yeah i mean they were they were war like they were all about war
that was their whole
thing and war with other tribes yeah just as much previous oh yeah before the
europeans came they
were everybody up they everybody up the comanches were just ruthless man yeah
all they did was kill
buffalo and eat buffalo meat they were just eating meat and just riding horses
and people up okay
that that part sounded delicious amazing right buffalo meat open fire i mean
there's something
incredibly with your family you know just with the it's one of the things about
native americans versus
the western settlers or the the the people that settled is that no one ever
like native americans
never wanted to join european civilization it was not their thing well but yeah
but europeans
did join these try not just this cynthia parker lady but a bunch a bunch of
people just made friends
with the indians learned the language it became a part of their culture and
they were like you and your
you yeah in stores and all your you want to have tea in the middle of the day
here dressed like that
it's sort of like settlers come in and what they're what they're settling for
is that they're going to
try to make the rest of the world look like what they are yeah and they won't
be able to so we'll
settle for whatever we get and then there's these other people that are just
sort of living good
downstream it seems like the settlers are fighting upstream always and and the
indians are just living
downstream they're going with what's there yeah they're going with what they're
becoming part of
the land instead of we should really force this thing into make it sit they
were so ruthless though
man so ruthless it's crazy to read all the depictions all the things that they
did but just the there's
so something so insanely romantic about their life like they were talking about
cynthia ann parker's
when they brought her back in her 30s they brought her back to civilization how
difficult it was for her to
and that like the world of the comanche was like a world of magic like in that
everything was a god
there's wind gods and fire gods and the the trees were gods there was like
thousands of god now all
of a sudden she had to believe in one god or just like um where you're
deliberately blocking all those
gods on purpose righ
