Joe Rogan Experience #879 - Steven Rinella

no no he's about to click the button and we're waiting on him i'd hate for you
to drop some
awesome knowledge hey and we're live that's it steve ranella the only hunting
show ever in the
history of meat eater or excuse me of netflix of meat eater that's a that's an
awesome accomplishment
man you're the first hunting but see i tell everybody that if you want to watch
a hunting
show if like like people watch hunting shows and they go all these what the are
these guys
doing they're sitting around they go well look at that look at the size of this
book man this is
amazing your show is so different from all those other shows like it belongs on
something else it
belongs on like the history channel or the discovery channel or something more
mainstream so i'm glad
that netflix picked it up oh man i'm delighted they picked up 32 episodes i'm
glad we got to this
plug-in part right away right away yeah because if i turn people off and they
tune out they'll remember
this man this is great i can just walk out the door right now how many episodes
how many episodes have
you guys done all told you know i don't know really more than 75 way more than
75 i think so there's so
i just remember one day we had a little i remember one day i was having a drink
to celebrate us having
rap number 50 and that was a long time ago so we're way past that now wow that's
a good question it's a
a lot of weeks upwards of 75 it's a lot of weeks out in the field yeah the
hundredth yeah we'll probably
have a little party on the hundredth episode but no it's been it's been great
man i mean the netflix
thing is really just i mean it really you know exposed to a lot of you know a
lot of people and
it was cool they instead of starting with season one you know they put up
season five and six
on netflix which uh is nice because it makes people real curious about the
other ones
there's one episode that's probably one of my favorite episodes you ever did
where you never
shot anything it's that one episode with you alone deer hunting you started
talking about your dad
yeah yeah arizona coos deer yeah no music just a lot of ambient sound a loud
wind who makes those
choices like those editorial choices that was you know the editor one of our
editors kind of one of our core
editors editors that's been doing it for a long time a guy by the name of guy
he um yeah he did that
and at first i was like huh what because he wanted yeah he wanted to do one no
music there's no vo in it
you know and we're pretty vo heavy sound uh pretty tend to be a voice over yeah
yeah yeah sorry like
i do a lot of narrating you know um in fact i was just writing some narration
for the the hunt united
recently but i do a lot of narrating and then we just did one where there's no
narrating
and i think a lot of times it comes down to how talkative i'm feeling in the
field
you know um and yeah i just whatever for whatever reason i was suffering a
little bit of uh exhaustion
or something i don't know and i just did a lot of rambling and then when he
started cutting it
together he just wanted to run it like that with no sound at all we want to do
one now with no music at all
no voice no no no voiceover like no no narration just all spoken to camera no
other people there
so everything just like not delivered as dialogue but just like two camera
addressing
we talk now about doing one that has no words in it but it's all music
maybe
you looked to me
i was looking for like excitement to register on joe's face
and i got the opposite yeah well that's one of the things that i think is most
ridiculous about
a lot of hunting shows is how terrible the music is some of the music choices
just like what did you
guys just go to fucking uh what is that i program that you have on your mac
what is that a garage
garage band yeah pick up some beats and just i don't know the name of the
system
that we use but it's uh you know it's it's a searchable database of music like
a catalog of music
yeah the documentary we're doing we're we're beginning now to work on we're in
the initial
stages of you know having it scored which is fun because it's not something i've
ever messed with
you know like i i think very rarely in a television show do you have a
television show scored you know
you're usually using library music or licensed music you know yeah i was
watching westworld the other
night which is an awesome show if you haven't seen it but uh there was one
scene where this music
started playing i'm like this is so bad i hate this i hate when i'm being
manipulated by music
during a scene like if the music's telling you to where you're like where they
come up to it and
they're like man you're not gonna feel like this isn't making you feel how we
wish it made you feel
perhaps if we played this you'll feel this way more yeah it's weird that we
just like this is the part
where you're supposed to feel you know kind of like feelings of nostalgia and
and you know and like
these remorseful feelings and we have no idea how to invoke that in audiences
but this musician did a
wonderful job some years ago let's play this it's always like violins and shit
piano
there's something about that that's just i feel so manipulated like i i should
just give into it right
i mean because you're already accepting there's there's always this acceptance
of like you're
you're giving me a program you're showing me something in an hour you there's
all these edits
we're going back and why can't i just accept that you know uh there's a there's
a musician i like quite
a bit named micah p hinson and he's he's out at abilene texas and he has a song
called the day texas
sank to the bottom of the sea and a friend of mine who's a screenwriter we
always have joked about
someday writing a movie so sad that you could play that song at the end and it
would not feel
manipulative like a movie so sad it could earn to have the day texas sank to
the bottom of the sea
played in the end of it what's his name again micah p hinson micah m-i-c-a yeah
a-h a-h
yeah seems like a young fella i don't know him seems like a young fella seems
like he's got a
background in drug taken ah one of those guys um but yeah i really yeah he's a
good musician man
yeah there's something about music in movies that we've just totally we just
totally accept it in
television shows and music when there's a scene and they want to manipulate you
and they want to
establish some sort of a feeling that you're supposed to invoke they just yeah
you know it in
there the radiohead album okay computer has a song called exit music for a film
because i think they
just felt like they're trying to send a message to the licensors
yeah it's a wonder who was the first i guess they they did that back in the the
movies before there
was talkies you know it was all when movies were silent i mean that's how they
sort of manipulated you
and then they showed the screen and they had the words on it oh yeah yeah and
then like the peter and
the wolf thing yeah and then it just carried over but yeah when we're working
on the show with music
um i have a hard time uh describing visual stuff you know like i'll often see
something like a visual
treatment for something you know or artwork or whatever i'm like i don't know i
can't just i'll know when i
see it i'll know that i like it but i can't tell you what i like and when we're
doing it and i listen
to music when an editor's putting something together and i hear music i never
have suggestions i always
just have no it's like it's to me it's like it's like yes no yes no and i never
could be like make it
more you know i don't know yeah i just have to hear it and i'll be like oh that's
it's too heavy-handed
or not i saw one show where they were deer hunting and there was electronica
music playing
i was like who chose this well they might be trying to create like a weird
tension
yeah make you upset yeah that way you want the deer to die because they're
forcing you to listen
to this music there's a great compilation of uh hawks i think they're uh rough-legged
hawks maybe i can't
remember what kind but uh just bitch slapping mallard ducks up in canada and
the guy said it to hell's
bells and i always thought that was it was obvious choice but just has a great
effect watching uh hawks
kill ducks to hell's bells um but other than that no i like it to be i always
kind of like it to be
not obvious like you know like let's say you're doing a show in west virginia
and someone be like
oh yeah kick it off with some banjo music you know what i mean it's like i hate
that kind of decision
making you know right cliche yeah and then and then i don't like it to be like
electronica to deer
hunting like you kind of want it to be sort of like not obvious but right yeah
like who was it that
decided that outer space sounds the way it does like no one shows images of
outer space to banjo music
it's a good point you show images of outer space like you know or it's got to
be like star wars
symphony type music yeah like someone decided that outer space feels like a
kind of music
so if i was doing something about outer space i would want to find something
that you'd never guess was
outer spacey sounding but in the end you're like yeah you know what that's not
out of place for outer
space like a harmonica sure sure i'll know it when i hear it i'll know it when
i hear it you'd have to
like enlist a bunch of the world's best harmonica players to come up with
something spacey yeah to
watch outer space stuff i think like a diggory do would work for space no you
could do that but but all
the all the yeah but all the editors used all that music up for when they got
to cut to an australia
thing that's true right they're like what's australia sound like oh that's
right the diggory do
um but yeah man netflix it's it's uh it's got a lot of emails from people kind
of stumbling
on the show it's funny because you make a show about hunting and you want to
like in your head you're
like people that like to hunt would have found it but then you hear from people
who hunt their asses
off and you're like hey i just discovered this show and it's and you realize
this all these people
like all the the untapped millions that are out there yeah well there's a lot
of people like me
before i ever started hunting that are interested in it they think it's
interesting and i think the
gateway drug for them is those alaska shows those like subsistence hunter shows
like the last frontier and
the mountain men shows they show these people like wow that looks cool yeah you
know and then i think
the next step is to switch on over the sportsman's channel or something like
that and yeah that's a
good point but you can get turned off really easily you could go to the wrong
kind of show and it could
be boring or you can stumble upon like i would say about uncharted the jim shockey
show have you seen
that show i have it's a great show and to me it's not really a hunting show it's
a show about cultures
yeah it's traveling culture yeah it's about a really curious open-minded guy
who loves to go to
different cultures and he goes there you know and the premises he goes there to
hunt but he's he's
traveled to some really really incredible places and filmed some amazing stuff
did you see the one where
he went to um i forget what river it was in africa where these people have a
significant problem with
crocodiles eating people oh no i didn't but i've talked to some people about
that one everybody in
the village was like missing an arm they had a hole in their head this
everybody had been jacked
and while he was there a woman got taken yeah it was crazy watching these
people wail and cry and sob
it was really really intense you know when i was in uh
seventh grade we had a teacher named miss merkle i don't know if she's alive
anymore but i remember
she lived on the muskegon river she was in the peace corps and one day look at
this is one of those
things that happens on your kid and you realize later it's weird one d
