Joe Rogan Experience #783 - John Dudley

dum-dum-dum-dum-dum yes we're live john dudley put the phone away and let's get
popping no i got
i have some some important subjects that i wanted to vent about so did you put
them on uh like a
little note yeah i got a notepad i'm pretty good about doing homework so i love
your podcast so
listening through there was craft you talked about i was like oh yeah i gotta
get on oh you gotta
bring it up yeah so john dudley the world famous archery coach uh he's got a tv
show he's got a
podcast uh found out about you because of the tv show first the podcast second
which i became obsessed
with if you're into archery like i know some of these people that are listening
to this podcast
they get into archery because it sounds fun like oh maybe i need a new hobby
and uh then you go down
that crazy rabbit hole well when i found you you're you're down the rabbit hole
like a few light years
you're gone man freaking johnny depp down in that deep johnny deep you're gone
you're gone down the
the archery rabbit hole i had no idea the rabbit hole goes so deep but let's
show this video we're
going to play this video this is uh before john came up here he did now i just
need to explain how
difficult it is just to even hit a target at 100 yards this is at 100 yeah yeah
okay 100 yards
is a foot length of a football field i'm gonna shut that thing off it's just
shut the uh volume off
there um 100 yards the length of a football field and for archery it's just it's
so hard to hit
something as wide as your wingspan at 100 yards for the average person and so
john made this ridiculous
shot on uh one of the gorilla kettlebells from on it yeah this was uh this is
gonna be an unbelievable
challenge i've got joe rogan's favorite workout tool i've got an on it kettlebell
primal and kong
is gonna have to make a decision whether he's gonna let this arrow pass or not
i'm gonna try
to put an arrow through that two inch handle right there and actually at this
distance of a hundred yards
and the angle that arrow has to come in i bet it's even smaller this is going
to be an unbelievable
challenge definitely gonna have to defy the odds my idea is there it is right
here on this shelf
and i've got a curtain right behind so hopefully it'll stop the arrow but also
let it do its thing so
that we can capture all this on tape right at dark i'm gonna put an arrow
through a two inch gap in the
handle if kong lets it pass
there he is let's check it out it's so ridiculous that that actually went in
that little hole at a
hundred yards did you have to try more than one attempt i this was actually my
first shot with
everything set up because i had to do a little bit of homework what i did was i
knew i couldn't see
the hole in the handle good enough to aim at it so i actually sighted my bow
into where i hit four and a
half inches high from kong's face so i literally aimed right at kong's shiny
face and i had my bow
sighted in to hit four and a half inches high to make it through the gap that's
insane yep yeah my
wife's filming right here sharon was running the iphone but i had four cameras
out so we could get
some cool angles and stuff and i wanted to wait till night so that that lighted
knock could give a little
bit more wow factor for everyone watching this is such a ridiculous shot but
this is 100 yards
thanks to the on it people too for that was awesome getting that thing look at
that yeah it's pretty
crazy there you go joe how awesome is that it's pretty amazing and you can
watch that on youtube it
just went up uh on youtube on the knock on archery yeah did you guys put it up
too we'll put a link up
okay jamie just put if you can tweet it and i'll retweet it when we get a
chance um that that's
insanely hard to do it's uh i mean i never did any archery whatsoever till
about three years ago i mean
maybe i might have done it i think i might have done it in the boy scouts yeah
everyone says that you
know what's funny is every person that finds out one they're in disbelief that
there's actually like
professional archers but then they say oh i tried archery like back in school
one time in gym
and i loved it and but then everyone says but i hit my arm right they were they
like remember that
they tried it once and they loved it but they hit their arm that's what they
always say yeah that's
i always thought you had to wear those wrist things like when i would see
people that were shooting bows
without those wrist things i'm like they're like riding a motorcycle without a
helmet these people
are crazy they're loose people well the way some people shoot it is like riding
a bike without
a helmet you peel some skin off if you do it the wrong way well that's what i've
been going into
over these last couple of days with you and it's one more more fascinating
aspects about this i want
to i don't want to call it sport because i think archery is a lot of different
things it's a discipline
for sure but and when it's done correctly in a lot of ways it's almost like a
martial art it's like a
learning it's like a weapon art like in martial arts when you see someone do
something like if someone's
like really good at judo or something like that like when they execute a throw
and it's just perfect
position and perfect technique it's beautiful you know there's like a beauty to
it and when you see
an archer like i was talking to you about that this when i was watching and
trying to get it in my head
this sort of flow that you have in what you do it's super similar in a lot of
ways and something that i
really didn't predict like i guess i just always assumed that i kind of know
what something is if
it seems pretty straightforward like oh yeah you pulled the string back and
then you let the arrow
fly pretty straightforward like i think that's most people's idea of what archery
is but then when you
really pay attention to the technical aspects of all the different stuff that's
going on and all the different
things you think about and how you literally cannot have anything on your mind
other than all the
technique involved your foot placement your technique in standing your
breathing where how you're drawing
it back the position of your front shoulder the position of your rear elbow how
you're pulling where
how do you what do you how do you respond after the arrow is released there's
so much going on that like
when you put it all together like it it has it leaves no room for homework
there's no room for relationship
bullshit there's no room for taxes there's no room in there man if you want to
make a nice shot like
that like i guarantee you if we could have a brain scan of your head the second
you release that arrow
at a hundred yards to go in that two inch gap there would be nothing in there
other than what you did
there would be no other no other cells would be fired up no no that's one thing
and actually like
yesterday when we were shooting there towards the end of the day you got to the
point where
you were almost your mind was clear it's almost like for me you know your
family came home
like things were winding down you knew that like work was over and we it was
like right before dark and
like for me i love shooting at first light and at last light because it seems
like that's when
i'm not really worried about someone texting me or calling me i'm not worried
about a problem at home
and i shoot with a clear mind and i i'm way more efficient at my practice and
it is a form of
meditation i mean it's like you said it's an art and if you're clouded then you
it will reflect that
on the target i mean it's like if your arrows are in one spot then you know you
have a single focus
and it's almost like the more those arrows are spread that's a representation
of
how many other thoughts and distractions you have going in your mind i mean and
i look at it that way
when i shoot i'm trying to narrow everything down to just a movement and you
look at good golfers the
ones that swing easy and it just literally looks like flow they're such good
strikers and they're so
much more efficient when you see people that are trying to be robotic and and
almost like hack
something then it's like too systematic you know you see someone like that does
professional karate or
something if they're in a forms competition if they're like real rigid going
around it's just not what it's
meant to be i mean it's supposed to be a dance it's supposed to be like
literally a mental
musical that's playing and if your mind is clear then it's it's a form of
meditation it really is no
question about it and that same state of total complete concentration exists in
a bunch of different
disciplines and i you know finding it in archery now wreck or i should say
recognizing it i definitely
haven't hit it but finding that seeing it and recognizing that sort of super
high level flow
that comes into play when someone's excellent at what they do um i've seen that
in pool i've seen
that watching professional pool players like um a perfect example like you were
talking about like
striking the ball really hard as a golfer there's a guy named francisco bustamante
he's one of the best
pool players in the world he's from the philippines and francisco bustamante
has the most ridiculous
break you would think if you watch his break shot that he weighs 400 pounds and
has arms like tree
trunks you you watch that break it just blah blah those balls just the close-up
on the triangle if you
watch him you just watch the speed of the ball and it's effortless the way he
does it is just he has
this perfect amount of timing and flow here you can see him do it here now this
isn't him this is a
different guy if you just look up uh bustamante francisco bustamante breaking
that's what it says that
there oh this is definitely not him this is a some overweight gentleman what if
he gained oh that is him
that is him he's just it's a weird he's in a weird pose oh that's what it is oh
okay it's just a weird
pose i thought when he was bent over i thought that was his whole body yeah he
is loading but he's a
tiny guy like if you see him physically yeah i mean he might weigh like well he's
a little fat now he's
getting older but when he was young he probably weighed like 140 pounds but he
was like bob lamb
oh my goodness those balls they go flying everywhere no one's like him yeah
yeah dog get after it he's
excited i think he just won on the break or something like that that's sweet i've
seen him make six balls
on the break like he's playing nine ball he makes six balls in the break he's
got three balls to run out
he's just insanely good but he's just a devastating player all around and one
of the things when you
watch him play and a lot of the filipinos filipinos are so good there's so many
really good filipino pool
players but they have this gentle flow to what they're doing like everything is
like like a ballet
like effortless the weight of the cue does like all the work and everything
looks like it looks like
so flowing and like a dance yeah like a dance well the one thing that's so cool
about
well the one thing i'm really proud of as an archer is that i've got to the
point where i have a
platform to get people involved and that was when i found out that you really
liked my podcast which
the podcasts are totally geared around education and learning you know that's
what that i got to
a platform to where i could help people and now there's people like you that
are coming in that never
really have considered that whole world and they come in and i look at people
that like you know
they go to the ymca they want to take like tai chi or they want to take yoga
they're looking for a stress
free type of hobby and archery is a great sport for that it's growing so much i
mean hollywood's
embracing it obviously with a lot of the movies but they're they're not portraying
it as an art form
yeah and when that movie the what the hell is it called where's the girl hunger
games yeah when she
started becoming more famous or that movie rather became po
