Joe Rogan Experience #1115 - Mike Baker

five four three two one mike baker ladies and gentlemen and we're live ladies
and gentlemen
what's going on buddy yeah the usual from wolves over here that's right that's
right i left the
state of idaho because because we're overrun with wolves wolves and and uh that's
it yeah that's all
we got i was just listening to a podcast where these guys were talking about
wolves and about
how they were hiking and they found four dead mature bull elk inside of like a
couple mile
stretch that had been torn apart by wolves and they started to freak out well i
mean two things
we got this time of year we got a lot of wolves and we got a lot of rattlesnakes
the rattlesnakes
are starting to you know pop up and make their appearance a little warm yeah
exactly and um there
are some seasons where you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a rattlesnake
and of course if you
swing that cat a wolf will show up so that's not a good idea in case anybody's
wondering i've never
been i'm going june 30th to boise i just uh announced the tickets today and it's
fantastic i'm excited to
be there but i i keep hearing about wolves is that a real issue up there not
just exaggerating not at
the century link arena it won't be a problem so you should be safe from that uh
but uh yeah bring
your gear and you know it's it's idaho is an interesting place because you know
it's a part-time
legislature right so which is the way i think all states should operate um
which means everybody
goes home to their jobs well if you just if you look at the top of the state
the governor uh butch
otter great guy brad little lieutenant governor terrific guy they're both ranchers
right so full
time full time well yeah basically um and uh they they look at it from a
different problem you know
a perspective right so you know here in california you know if you say you got
a wolf problem i mean
that that raises you know one perspective and one issue and people go no we
have a people problem
we have a people the wolves are amazing the people are assholes those wolves
are so special and in a
place like idaho or you know you get a place like montana or somewhere else i
suppose um they look at
it differently right it's it's a working issue that you gotta you gotta sort
out particularly if you're a
rancher or you you're you're living off the land whatever so um but i i tell
you what boise's gonna go
crazy when they find out that you're coming up because you got it's a huge fan
base they love
you up there it's all people stop me and want to talk about right i keep
thinking you know something
i'm sorry for interrupting and i think okay they can ask maybe something about
north korea right or
something about iran or some bigot not that you're not a big issue but then
they'll say what's joe like
and well that's kind of what i say yeah
you go what about iran
what about north korea you fucking kids today you don't even care damn it did
you know joe's north korean
you didn't know that i'm on the seat tip yeah but oh by the way before uh
before i disappear down rabbit holes i need to i need to say uh
your biggest supporter your biggest fan probably in the entire uk
uh is a uh young fellow named jack burton i've known his family forever i've
known this kid since he was
a baby basically and uh going to school with my my uh my daughter and he is an
enormous fan uh and
highly respects what you do uh he's getting his master's in physics and i
promised him i'd give
him a shout out uh so i've just done that jack burton jack burton man
outstanding guy yeah they don't
have that problem in london although that would make some kind of movie i think
uh that's the werewolf
out front oh that's right yeah yeah a great space by the way thank you yeah i
haven't been here
since you moved i'll give you the full tour i didn't give you the the gym side
did you go to
the other side i have not not yet no the other side's where the gym is the gym
and the indoor pool
yeah we got a lot of stuff here yeah it's a great how big is it it looks like
about 200 000 square
feet no it's 14 okay 14 000 all right but compared to the last studio it's a
lot bigger yeah i got bored
with that other place it's too little you gotta expand yeah well you get your
rollerblades out you can go
do laps or something i don't so we got a lot of shit to talk about mike baker
there's a lot going
on in the world what are you scared about what should i be scared about well i
mean people are losing
their minds right now over the past 24 hours because of iran right so what you're
hearing is you're hearing
a lot of the um the uh the critics of the current president and apparently
there are some um that are
saying oh he's you know he's inching us closer to a military conflict with iran
well these are the same
brainiacs that said he was inching us closer to war with north korea and
everybody was completely wrong
on that uh i'm not saying that rihani and the others in the iranian regime
might not you know
decide to become more bellicose but um i think they're i think they're looking
at it wrong i mean
this idea that um because there's a couple of parts part one is that they're
saying oh look at what
you know he doesn't have a plan b implying that it's either this deal which
even our european allies
say is inadequate right uh or it's a military conflict and that's kind of what
the previous
president was was all about we either get this deal or we're having a military
conflict yeah no there's
a there's other things in the works there's other options in that in that
decision tree um and so i
think that's that's a false premise and the other thing when they talk about it
over the past 24 hours
anyway is is that well look at this this is going to make it harder to get a
deal with with kim jong-un
from north korea because he's going to think that we don't we don't uh support
our deals well i look
at a different way i think that kim jong-un is going to look at this and think
uh okay they're
not going to put up with an inadequate deal right so he's going to look at it
and say well
yeah that because nobody disagrees with the iranian deal they want to talk
about they want
to talk about how look the iranians are complying with it well the iranians are
complying with what
they agreed to allow in the deal right which is none of their military sites
the number of times
inspectors have have actually gotten on and inspected a military site including
parching the most
important military facility in iran since that deal was signed in 2015 was zero
haven't been there
because the iranians didn't agree to allow any of those sites in this deal so
that's like that's like
saying that's like saying if you're a serial killer you'll allow the police to
come in and search your
home but you can't go in the basement right not that all silly colors put their
bodies in the basement
but i have you know i suspect that's the case so anyway that's it's an
interesting thing and i guess
i wanted to throw that out there right off the bat because i think iran right
now is consuming so much
of the oxygen for for people out there so people thinking that the reason why
we're backing out of the
deals because the president's being unreasonable and we're forcing one you're
just saying it's a
deal period yeah i mean i think the idea that we we have to stay in it because
it's better than the
alternative when the alternative you know being uh war is is not framing it
properly i don't think that
that doesn't make any sense uh to me but i think that the fact that the the uk
the the the french the
the germans uh have all agreed publicly that it's an inadequate deal it needs
to be fixed
that tells you something but it also tells you that they have real strong
financial incentives
for continuing to do business in iran they they and as do russia and china
frankly the other signatories
so you know and and also here's the other part i mean trump you know what is it
now we're 16 or 17
months into trump's administration so it's not like he he got into the white
house and the next day he
you know he can the deal he's been talking but nobody listens to anything i'm
not i'm not a
supporter of trump necessarily i mean i want the government to work so it's not
that i'm supporting
trump i support i want the government to work just like the previous
administration i wasn't a
supporter of obama but hey i wanted to work i want good things to happen and
you know so he you know he
went out there and there was some talk about look let's see if we can't find
some way to get rid of
the sunset clause some way to uh rain in their ballistic missile development
program um some way although it's
not going to happen to reign in all the the uh you know the the the shenanigans
if you want to call
it that that they're engaged in the middle east and you know that didn't happen
so i think he he you
know took a step that is not as god-awful as his critics would like us to
believe well that isn't
that that's a real problem any of your phone's going off over there a little
fella oh damn you gotta check
your watch too i guess what a world we're living in i know look at that i know
this is good your phone
you gotta check your watch my my wife got me this uh this this apple what uh
now does it float now
we're gonna it does it's waterproof i think to a certain period of time um but
it's it uh it does
all sorts of things i don't have a clue what it does she got it for me so i
could uh check my heart
uh rate and just you know for health reasons just you know if i'm if i'm out
running or working out
and she said yeah you should have something like that because i refuse to wear
a fitbit or whatever
they call it what's the difference between a fitbit and that well this i it's
like dick tracy i could
if i knew how to do it i could talk on my phone right i could answer it it
rings i have no clue
it can't be too hard i don't think it's that hard but i'm not right on air yeah
okay all right somebody
call me somebody give me a shout uh it seems like a great thing uh but honestly
god the only thing i've
used it so far is to glance at the time and then to check my heart rate all the
other crap on there and
everything happens on it right so if i'm using it my phone for directions i get
directions on my watch
right i mean it's a little bit overwhelming so i'm gonna go back to a normal
watch i think and
and if my heart gives out it gives out yeah i got this uh g-shock it does all
kinds of
shit never used it once i use the time part with all the altimeter and it works
as a compass and all
kinds of i've never compass is good i i think this is good we used to have we
spent we spent a long time
and this is this is how old i'm getting i guess but in our early uh training um
we spent a long time
working uh maps and compass right you know shooting azimuth and figuring out
where you're at and trying
to be and shooting azimuth yeah you know i mean well figuring out you're
basically i don't want to
you know sound oversimplifies but you're basically triangulating and figuring
out where you are at
any given point in time right why do you call it azimuth yeah yeah it's that is
a very good question and
not one that i asked when i was in the in the outfit that was one of those
people that would
just accept things as they were told to me and uh that's why i got along so
well i never questioned
anything which is an interesting point i don't want to i don't want to roam all
over this place but
um today was uh confirmation hearings for gina haspel and i i'll caveat this by
saying i'm a big
supporter of hers i think she's an outstanding choice for this she's the new
head of the cia right the new
director designate for the cia and so today she went up on capitol hill uh had
uh open and then
subsequently a closed door uh session with the uh the senators and some of the
senators the reason
i bring this up is because a handful of the senators um were asking her and
seemed focused on saying
well you know how about this rendition progra
