Joe Rogan Experience #764 - Duncan Trussell

these are great fucking mods
sweet bitches here we go here we go again
we're sober i just realized that no we should probably do something to stop
that while we're
doing the podcast great um dude we archered today we archered i don't think
that's the
right way to say it we uh we arched it was so fun so addicted to it now
to archery you're you're like a legitimate archer no yeah you are you have like
a full setup you do
it all the time you practice in your yard you know what you're doing it's
incredibly addictive man
it's it's it's uh very satisfying and it's a great goddamn metaphor for
everything thank you sir
duncan's doing the traditional way he's got uh the wooden arrow shafts and the
traditional recurve bow
which by the way anytime i post a picture of archery or something like that you
get that
if you're not using traditional bow you're a pussy yeah you're doing it the man
way well i'm
traditionally missing the fucking target too
well some guys hunt like that which when you uh i mean there's guys that are
obviously way better at
that than you or i yeah but when you think about like what you were shooting
how you were shooting
today and how i was shooting your bow today and imagine trying to hit an animal
like maybe even a moving
animal it's nuts i mean you're using what you're shooting with doesn't even
look like a bow it
looks like some something that fell out of a diamond shaped spaceship
it's really weird it's a very weird looking bow whereas like my bow basic robin
hood style recurve bow
but i get it man i would not want to hunt an animal with a recurve bow because
it seems like it would
be inhumane like it seems that unless you're if you're going to kill something
be very precise about
it and i'm sure people with recurve bows though of course if they you've shot
your whole life it is
precise i guess yeah they could be probably close to as precise as i am with a
compound bow but not
for like long distances it's it really can't cover the same kind of distances i
can shoot like we were
shooting today i shot that elk target at 65 yards and i was putting it in the
heart at 65 yards
that would be really really hard to do with a recurve bow really hard yeah you'd
have to have a
very powerful bow to do that i mean that's a big seems to be part of the
problem though i you know i
don't know anything about it like i just you know i i remember after the last
podcast we did you show
me your bow and then that kind of floated around in my head a little bit like
man that'd be cool to
start shooting then i've you know now i have a yard so the other day i went out
and was like doing yard
work like you know like raking leaves and weed eating and all the i hated man
shit man stuff i hated when
i was a kid but now it's the it's the best something clicks inside of you where
it's just like this is
all i want to do i just want to weed eat i just want to it's like that's that's
being in your 40s is
where you're like i was like vacuuming up the leaves like the leaf blower you
could reverse it and suck
leaves into a bag and it's just like my god this is heaven well it's your place
so when you have a
place and it has a nice yard you know like lawn maintenance and stuff like that
has always been
something that men get into yeah that's why they're always yelling at get out
my fucking lawn yeah i'll
meet people like that old man gets mad when you're on his lawn well you're
messing up his art his precious
art his zen sand castle that's right that zen sand box yeah people do where
they just comb the sand
perfectly yeah yeah now that's very interesting you know that that process of
like being in the moment
and then you know doing anything in the moment is incredible but i've i've i
spent a long time
not going outside enough and that is a really fucking awful thing that can
happen to you where
you just forget about outside like outside is the place between your house and
your car
or your car and your office and that's outside but and so when you're not
outside
and you're living inside the artificial cave you're cutting yourself off
from a very specific field of data that starts teaching you if you're out there
in it at all
for any amount of time it's it's a narcotic it's like out this is i've been
inside so much that i
feel when i go outside like i've taken a vicodin or something it feels that
good is this like during
the dark days of video game addiction oh yeah man yeah this is uh yeah it's
yeah video game addiction
internet addiction just a general feeling that that the outside is just you
just don't do it
you're just in too much you know so that i think it's a so many people are
afflicted by this that
you get so disconnected from this rhythm that's out there that when you finally
start feeling it again
it's like eating something when you haven't been eating in a long time or
drinking something you just
want to stay out there and feel it so i yeah i got the bow because i knew it
put me outside more you
know i gotta let these people know that we're live i didn't tweet it give me
one second here
but um what what made you decide to get that kind of a bow like did you have
someone help you did you
go to an archery place or how'd you do it yeah i went to an archery place um
and the and the guy you
know the guys show me compound bows but you know if as far as i'm concerned if
you're not shooting a
recurve bow you're not really shooting you're not a man you're not a man so no
i i just the compound
bows man that's a commitment it looks like too much of a commitment there's too
much going on there
it's a serious thing it looks like it's for hunting i don't intend to go
hunting i just want to stand
outside shooting and with my little poodle sits by the pool and watches me and
i just shoot arrows and
it's a blast i love it but so this guy this kid uh who's like uh arched who's
like done archery his
entire life i know nothing about this thing but i hope i don't seem like i'm an
expert on our it's like
two week two week obsession so this kid is like explaining it to me about uh
you know the difference
between a recurve bow and a compound bow and he said basically a compound bow
everything's better than
a recurve bow but a recurve bow is a great way to learn so i get this recurve
bow the little bastard
sells me the wrong arrows which i didn't even find out he sold me compound bow
arrows and so like i was
shooting with those for a while and each of them would be precisely off in the
exact same place because
compound bow arrows are they're plastic vinyl whatever that is so when they hit
the bow they
at least when they hit a recurve bow when they hit the arrow rest it throws
them off in a specific way
whereas feathers are more pliable this is what somebody explained to me after i
went back and
make sense these other arrows but man it's it's a it's an addiction it's
expensive you keep wanting
to buy shit and add stuff on to it and upgrade it's really really fun though
well the compound bow is
even more addictive because there's different kind of sites and different kind
of rests and there's
drop-away rests and there's whisker biscuits and there's all these different
whisker biscuits yeah it's
like a bunch of different fibers that your arrow sits on so instead of a rest
that's so like a lot of
people have a rest it's called a drop away rest meaning as you release the
arrow the cables and
the strings to the rest are attached so as you are drawn back yeah the rest is
up and your arrow is
sitting on the rest as you release the rest drops and so the arrow takes off on
the string without the
resistance of the rest being there that's cool it just launches it in the air
that's a whisker biscuit
so that's the kind where it's a bunch of fibers which over long periods of time
can like long distances
can slightly affect the amount of feet per second not much but like two or
three second two or three
feet per second over the course of like 40 yards or something like that which
is you know you're
talking about the difference between like 288 feet per second 285 feet per
second like it doesn't matter
it's still insanely fast and powerful so that's some some people like that kind
that whisker biscuit
kind but mine is the one that drops away it's so cool that this thing is
evolved to this point that's
crazy amazing right it's crazy now all the different evolutions that the bow
has had from the moment
somebody realized if you take a tight string and put it between sticks and pull
it back well you know yours
is a recurve and a recurve is a totally different thing that's that was like
the original compound
right it was the original technology because they figured because of the curve
of the way your bow
is designed that you can generate much more power that way the regular kind of
long bow so that was the
old school kind that you see in like the robin hood days and shit like that but
the recurve was like the
mongols like someone around that time figured out how to make that and they
made these bows with um
insanely powerful wood and they used animal horn and all kinds of other shit
and they made some glues
and one of the things with their glues was when it was raining out they couldn't
fight
right their fucking bows would fall apart right it was soaking it was pouring
rain they had to get the
out of dodge dude their bows would fall apart if the the the paste and shit
they have holding them
together got wet right that's so weird yeah there's so many things that
throughout history there's so
many unknown people who figured out these amazing things like someone figured
out how to advance the
bow to the point that it became a long bow like someone worked that and before
that someone just figured to
me all of these little moments in history are so interesting and so frustrating
because most of
them you'll never witness right that moment like the moment somebody made fire
right that's a thing
you'll never see that one because someone had to do it first now maybe people
did it all over the planet
at the same time or if there are people over the planet depending on which uh
which uh explanation for how
people uh got or if you i think hancock believes people were spread out way
before uh the out of africa
theory right but anyway someone somewhere figured out how to do it that's
incredible saw something
happen that caused a fire and then they tried to recreate it until they were
successful right at the
moment they were successful do you mind imagine the the look on the guy's face
the first guy that
figured out he can make fire on his own yeah like the first guy that used one
of those bows with the
bits in the teeth yeah you seen those we used two hands the the real hardcore
guys they use a bow
with a bit in their teeth so they put the bit in their teeth and then there's a
stick
right then they have the bow and because of that they can use two hands so they're
clamping down
on the bit they go like this and you just see it starts smoking it was a guy
that was on
one of those crazy mountain men shows i don't know which one it was but one of
those shows where dudes
are living alone in the life below zero that's who it was it was the the guy in
life below zero who lives
by himself in like a tool shed is like this tiny little shack in alaska where
he's miles and miles
and miles from civilization and for most of the year this guy lives like this
where he just subsists off
the land by himself he just eats caribou he has to fend wolves off of his
property he and he doesn't
bring matches with him because you could always run out of matches he wants to
be able to make a fire
consistently on his own so he brings this bit and the bow that's how he starts
his fires that's cool
it's insane it's super cool insane have you seen the youtube primitive
technology channel it's really
great oh it's so badass it's like a guy i don't know where he is he's somewhere
where there's a lot
of mud and trees and he and he he like he shows how to construct a tiled roofe
