Joe Rogan Experience #987 - Ben O'Brien

it's still out figure it out later okay
two one oh and we're live ladies and gentlemen with the creator are you the
creator of this
no right brain yeah not thinking yeti i was like i don't go that far rye brain
though rye brain
cheers sir thank you sir the clink the famous the yeti jingle a rambler clink
what a great
invention how'd you guys well you guys were just getting hammered and throwing
anything in there
same way for folks who haven't uh been properly introduced my friend ben o'brien
is here and he's
the one uh he was in the podcast from paradise when we were in lanai one of my
all-time favorites i mean
the island or the podcast the whole thing it was all awesome the whole damn
thing but people are
drinking those cat ladies now which is it's not to be advised that's a terrible
idea dude when i saw
dudley making that i was like what the fuck are you doing man he poured tequila
and red bull into
a glass of red wine and we were looking at him like what is that and people had
the hashtags are wrong
man when people are hashtagging of course i do it sometimes just to poke fun at
everybody but i've had
probably a dozen people like man i tried the cat lady last night yeah people
are just drinking it
just to say they drank it which is just don't do it people don't do it but rye
brain is actually
pretty good i can get that we were there were some meat some treggers some bows
involved and
stuff just got put together and i've had these before they actually taste good
yeah but um there's
like no benefit that you get from alpha brain there's mix it with whiskey yeah
it's like
all the science we put into alpha brain all the non-science from whiskey out
the window folks
it's all out the window well i mean it's uh but we've made zero leaps forward
but we're good where
we are currently i think maybe it might balance us out though maybe it might
keeps you from getting
too stupid which that's a that's that's an achievement they can do that issue
with whiskey
what is this whiskey we got here this is i don't know jamie just kind of like
threw it out there
dude gave us at the comedy store it's called angel's envy oh that sounds like a
i think like angels
are really envious of whiskey though i mean you're hanging out with god you can
fly you're like god i wish
you had some of that whiskey meanwhile you buy it in a store what angels don't
have money maybe that's
how it balances it's got wings on the back maybe it's they're trying to co-market
with red bull i don't
know those are always the wings on the back of a stripper that cries a lot and
the word and angel
and envy are both names of strippers that i've that's i've never never seen
that it's a really
good point yeah the wings on the back is always a weird move right but if you're
listen if you're
drinking whiskey with right with alpha brain you can do whatever you want you
can put whatever you
want whatever kind of whiskey you want in there you're very open-minded yeah
the alpha brain cancels
it out it could be it could be the worst whiskey in the world in the alpha
brain
makes it better did have you taken this anywhere this uh rye brain i have not i
just i'm really
counting on your listeners and and dudley's fans to do that i want it to be
organic it's gonna spread
yeah it's gonna spread the next time you go like to some exotic location and
they have a right like
if you're in nepal oh i'm going to uh northwest territories with your or your
boys on your hat
there the eastmans are you really like a week oh wow what are you doing up
there caribou and uh
doll sheep oh wow so we're doing a film about their a yeti film yeti presents
film about their
family history in the northwest territories like technically what part of alaska
is that
so that's it's east of alaska right east of british columbia it's up toward the
arctic circle so we'll
fly into norman wells and go north from there up into the mckenzie mountains
which are about as far
north as you can get before you hit the arctic circle so we'll be sniffing the
arctic circle most
days but it's still it's still alaska right no no no it's its own territory
really yep oh wow same
as yukon i mean you think yukon moose or whatever they're all their own
territories outside oh so
yukon is not alaska all right we'd have to look that up i don't want to be
right i'd have to look
at a globe and then looking i'm not questioning like i know i don't know either
but northwest
territories is its own territory it's not alaska so who owns that canada i
guess really yeah oh so
it's like past alaska becomes canada again oh god this is getting real deep i
should have known
coming on this package you're like tell me the history of northwest territories
so here it is
right now there it is on a map so yukon territory season okay so the yukon is
slightly east or east
rather east and then the northwest territories of course is further east above
alberta wow so you're
getting up there into into the true arctic so it is it is connected to canada
yeah but it's also
connected to alaska it's not it's next to the yukon it's part of canada it's
one of the right
provinces i had it right i'm getting confused i was doubting myself yeah i
thought that the british
columbia section until i saw british columbia i thought that was part of alaska
you could read the
wikipedia it's always really it's really dramatic the wild mountainous and sparsely
populated it's crazy
that it's north of northern alberta like people like you know what it's just
not fucking cold enough
here in the winter we got to keep going well they have lakes they've got i mean
they have lakes for
like a month out of the year oh my gosh i think when we're up there we were
talking about last week
i think when we're up there there'll be no it'll be daylight 24 hours a day oh
wow i believe now when
you do that do you bring like one of those eyeball cover things uh yeah i have
to yep the mask
eyeball cover things whatever you have to you have to unless you're really
unless you can get in a tent
just kind of zonk out but it's it's 12 i think it's 12 or 13 days up there so
by the time you get
to day five or six you're i mean you're living out of your backpack you're
carrying probably 50 60 70
pounds in your pack and hunting climbing every day so i mean it's by the time
you get laid down i don't
think it matters what's going on now when you do something like that um how
much gear are you guys
are you living entirely out of your backpack so in the float planes well in the
in the plane takes
you to base camp which i think in this case is um there's not a float plane so
we'll it'll be a
wheel plane wheel we can take 50 pounds and then 50 pounds each 50 pounds each
plus your body weight
plus your body weight and then six days in they will either come in a
helicopter and pick us up and move
us if we're not having any luck or they'll just drop us more gear so you can so
the plan would be
take 50 pounds of essential gear and then have other gear as backup back at
base camp oh wow so
you fly into base camp it's like for me it'll be like austin to denver denver
to edmonton edmonton
to norman wells hop a charter to base camp and then from there fly out into the
hunting area
jesus christ how many days travel is that it's like two days and change two
days south of just flying
just flying because you're overnighting because i mean they run like one out of
norman wells they run
like one flight a day or something one or two flights a day you have to be
really dedicated this
kind of experience to travel just travel for two days once you do it man it's
like the only way
to go though really it's once you it's not the only way to go that's douchey to
say but it's like
the best most when you get back you're like man that sucked but i wouldn't want
to change it
yeah something happens to people when they do those like exotic location hunts
like when they go
sheep hunting and they risk their lives like i've seen some video of guys
like why i saw some video of you guys when you were in new zealand yeah when
you were
it was gnarly rescuing your lives with every step yeah it and it's the whole
time too it's not just
like oh we got up to this one area where the sheep live you're just it where we
were in in um in new
zealand with green tree we when you get up into so there's like beachwood
forest so you're looking
at like a 3 000 3 500 4 000 foot mountain right you're we stayed in a little
hut in the river valley
and so when you're down there you're looking up you're like oh that's where the
tar live huh
oh for 3 000 feet from where we are right now vertically for people who don't
know is a crazy
looking animal himalayan tar yeah it looks like a lord of the rings or
something it really does yeah
looks like a woolly mammoth but just a miniature version yeah really crazy woolly
furry shaggy yeah
goat essentially yeah like a goat slash sheep but i mean the funny part about
all that is is when you
there it is right there look at an image that doesn't even look real it's they
look like where we were you
would look across these little these alpine valleys and you'd see them look
like a black bear looks like a
giant black bear and you're just thinking where am i and what is that thing god
so because i'm not
like you have some really cool adventurers like on this podcast that's not me
when i see that thing i
think what the fuck and where am i like it's it's it's wild looking yeah and
they live you know up in
the alpine so there you've got the beachwood forest which is probably if i
would just say hiking straight
up for about an hour and a half or two hours and is that an invasive species
for new zealand is
that they're feral we're not feral that's i don't know they're non-native so
all the mammals
on the island they're non-native all of them and they're all were introduced by
and i wish i had
really looked up some specifics but they were all introduced by some other
countries europe sent
animals over there teddy roosevelt sent some animals over there like hey here
you're gonna want
these and so the the problem over there to get on a whole different subject is
that
the the people on that island the residents of of new zealand don't value those
animals
as part of the landscape they're just they're i mean feral would be a good term
just of the way
they view them to the value they have on them we have like you have moose and mule
deer that's that's
part of our ethos as a country right and our ecosystem yeah and our ecosystem
they've been here
before we were yeah some level and so over there they just they'll jump in a
helicopter and mow down
like 40 red stag on a weekend because they want to control the population one
because there's no
winter kill no predation all that stuff but they also just don't see a big red
stag the way we see
a big elk they just don't they don't have the value for it down there well it's
also the the weird thing
about having no predators is how do you handle that do you bring in predators
like if they don't
they risk disease and there's all sorts of weird things that can happen like
like they have on lanai
yes yeah and so that's it right and and we've had i mean we've done that in
this country with bringing
down uh the northwest what's the timber wolf that we brought them down and put
them in in the states
and that's while that may seem like a good solution we when we were in british
columbia
hunting moose together we saw some calf skeletons yeah we showed that picture
on the podcast it was
kind of yeah that thing had just been decimated by those wolves and i saw in
montana one time
i saw them run in circles they run in like concentric circles they just run
like a bullseye pattern when
they're hunting i feel like the packs and i just watched we were i killed my
elk on the first day
of this hunt and i was watching i and you would show there would be a different
wolf kill like every
other day in this valley and it's like the wolves were just running circles and
i did see a couple wol
