Joe Rogan Experience #705 - Tait Fletcher

who's the real captain live we're live who is the real captain man i'm we're
talking about the new
star trek versus the old this is shit grown men do in their spare time take
motherfucking fletcher
is that echo in new mexico yes my uh nuevo shirt ah nuevo cerveza you know that
new mexico might be
the only shape of a state that sort of makes sense it's fucking square
basically square it's like
square but like it looks like on the bottom some dudes just had some miscommunication
like
fucking dude you're supposed to be over here that's mexico had the miscommunication
oh the
line i just want that good lord mexico wanted like there must have been like a
cool elk hunting spot
probably and uh new mexico's like yo we need we gotta have a sorry about we
need this little area this
little block off in that corner mexico you know new mexico is like one of the
premier elk hunting spots
yeah yeah different uh like when i was a kid in michigan we would hunt and
maybe but i don't know
when i was like 12 or something stuff changed and because elk used to be not
hunted and then they
opened up a season on them so fucking elk you could like walk up to a herd of a
hundred deep and there
would be i would remember there'd be centuries they would post like young bull
elks all around the
perimeter and um and it was fucking wild dude they were almost tame and then
the year after they
opened up permits is skittish as white tail deer it's really crazy one of the
best hunting experiences
i had there uh i was in like a pit blind with a bow and there were a bunch of
doe at a feed pile and
then i was in this big rye field and i hear like come through the woods and
then another and these elk
met two bulls and they started smashing horns and i was fucking blown away the
deer didn't give a shit
they're like just eating whatever not even our species we're good and um it was
awesome man it was
it was i love growing the woods are rad man i'm it's so cool that you got into
hunting like that
and you're deep deep deep in it like i'm too deep there's nothing better i'm
obsessed but it's uh the
elk thing is so strange they the noises they make like when we were uh hunting
colorado when the
females see you they bark it's awesome like they let everybody know it's like
everybody know it's so
open there's all that huge tracking like you got to be an athlete new mexico
and and and colorado
it's a different kind of hunt well colorado where we were was in the mountains
so it's all trees and
stuff and it was all about hiding behind trees and bringing them to you and
being on a on a run or
something yeah yeah trying to be near where they are and since it's the rut you're
trying to make
noises you know like cow calls or you're trying to bring them in or you're
trying to sneak up you put
dope piss all over you yeah is that the new shit okay i was uh listening to
this podcast uh uh it's a ted
ted talk podcast and um i don't know if you ever seen that video but there's a
video that got around
about when they reintroduce wolves to yellowstone park yep but you could you
can't hunt in yellowstone
park so the animals in yellowstone park are the same way that you were talking
about those elk elk are
the same way like they somehow or another know that people are not going to
hunt them that's the weird
thing about it and how it changed like in one season i'm like how are they all
symbiotic in this way
where they all communicate because none of them had been hunted it's like all
of a sudden all the
fucking elk knew though yeah it's wild they uh i mean you know what it's like i
think you know how uh
is there something wrong you know what it's like you know how um you see birds
when they fly and
those those big or schools of fish yeah schools of fish when they all turn on a
dime the the flocks
just know where everybody's going it's weird there's some sort of strange
communication telepathy
i think and i think that you read that book the rise of superman no i haven't
heard it's awesome
though awesome and they talk about i think the movie was transformers that all
these dudes in wingsuits
went off the uh is it the sears tower in chicago yeah and making almost 90
degree banks and stuff
and they're like if and they're four of them they're following each other and
if one guy goes
after i see you move i'm too late right i have to move as you're moving or else
i ruin the air flow
and all that and then i hit the building oh jesus christ so these guys practice
in the alps and they've
and but they talked about that that you need to be in that flow state and that
you can you start to
work with each other in a way that is uh supernatural yeah which is crazy
because i i felt that flow state
as a singular person in different events in my life but like that kind of thing
where they're working
in tandem with each other and they're all talking to each other and i think
like that's the way that
that fish move or that's the way like you know what is it that gives a frog the
sense to jump off the
lily pad right as the hawk is diving before the hawks moved or whatever like
what like all those
fish it's not like one turns then the rest follow they all move uniformly yeah
the schools of fish
in the flocks of birds are so magical when you watch them like dance in the sky
those giant flocks of
birds like how or how are they not just slamming heads yeah how how what is
going on there really
so and then that the hawks that birds of prey are so different than that yeah
like they're you know
no no flocks of them that meat is a different kind of thing it does oh yeah
people yeah animals
yeah those those seed eating birds are the ones that can kind of do that they're
like we really need
each other the ones that are mediators are like i'm good this the same ted talk
uh this guy was
talking about how uh humans it was a different guy the same podcast though was
talking about how humans
interrupt the natural symphony of nature and that um this symphony there's like
there's a frequency
that all these different animals operate at there's like a frog has a niche in
this frequency and a bird
has a niche in this frequency and they were talking about how when frogs when
you have like a whole like
swamp filled with frogs it scares off predators well it's it what also does it
makes it impossible to
locate them because there's so much sound coming from so many different places
it's you can't find them but
they have these low flying jets in this area because this is a place where uh
they practice or pilots
practice um fighter fighter pilots right and so they fly these jets like 600
meters above the ground which
is pretty low and they're they're fucking supersonic speeds they're fucking
just going crazy over the
swamp and the disruption of sound is so intense that everything stops for a
while and then slowly
these frogs start to re-synchronize so like one will rid it one will rid it and
then they'll try to find
each other and get into that rhythm again but when that happens when they're
trying to find that rhythm
that's when all the hawks all the owls and all the coyotes know exactly when to
move in so they move in
then and they start picking apart all these frogs they find the frogs and they
eat them it's really
interesting like they know that there's like a disruption in the in the
frequency and i wonder how
the like so are those predation animals working on a different frequency than
the frogs then or like
they're they're opportunists in this way where they're like this is a time you
know yeah there must be
opportunists i think i mean i think the whole idea of what what the way he was
describing it the way the
frogs do it where you know how like you're in the the swamp or something like
that and you hear frogs
you don't know where the they are so many of them or even sometimes what it is
like they sound
crazy yeah there's so many of them and um so when they have to kind of find
each other and because
their sound is so intense when the jet flies over everybody stops what they're
doing and so they're
like uh are we doing this are we doing this we're doing this we did let's do it
let's do it and how long
does it take them to recalibrate it wasn't it wasn't long it was only a few
minutes it was like
i think i want to say 15 minutes but i might be i might be mistaken but it was
less than an hour
and in that time these you know they're trying to get their shit back together
again and they just
get jacked that's the thing about uh us humans like being the disruption is
that even that like
what we think of our i read something somewhere i heard a podcast where they're
like there's a
a kid or somebody that developed a a bacteria or a some kind of biome that that
will eat plastic
and maybe take care of the big island of plastic yeah yeah yeah or whatever
right and i started
thinking about that i'm like we're idiots like we we created plastic like that
was our solution then
too you know what i mean it's like we we put nuclear reactors on the biggest uh
fault line in the world
where it's the most active like that's that's how smart we are and like what do
you do when you
create a bacteria or something that will eat what happens when all the plastic's
gone like is that
like you know is that like the introducing oh we've got a rabbit problem in
australia let's get a fox and
then we got a fox problem you know it's like that's australia australia is
crazy yeah my buddy adam
we don't learn from anything no we're the most adaptable creature and we're
like let's go ahead and get
some we got a desert get the golf courses out here let's go ahead and do that
well that was what was
interesting about this ted podcast is the same guy who was talking about the
wolves who's done that
video about the wolves in yellowstone right it's really interesting because he's
got he's got an
english accent and he's very enthusiastic about the wolves in yellowstone and
amazing things have
happened this this guy's crazy though because he didn't just want to bring
wolves back to yellowstone
now he's talking about bringing mega fauna to england see they did these
studies where they they dug deep
into the the ground and they found fossilized remains from you know 10 000 plus
years ago of lions and
elephants this crazy is talking about reintroducing lions to england we need
that but was was england
what's interesting about this cat is that he admitted that this all this fascination
with wolves and
everything came out of a midlife crisis he's like he went into a midlife crisis
and then uh his his
solution was a little bit of a pussy and now my spirit animal is a wolf yes
exactly exactly so this dude got
like really super into wolves and super into the idea of what he calls rewilding
but the thing is like he
he was talking about how megafauna used to live in england and that human predation
and all that stuff
wiped them out but that hasn't been proven that's that they don't know that for
a fact that it is entirely
possible that the climate was just not the best climate for them and then also
natural disasters and
then also the absolute fact that 90 plus percent of everything that has ever
lived ever is extinct
right so this guy's idea of reintroducing don't want to kill nothing don't want
to let nothing die we
are the ultimate pussy arrogant that are building golf courses and deserts it's
crazy well the wolf thing
is so fast well then okay so there's both sides of that yeah i've heard both
like it's awesome that we
have wolves again there and then i've heard people are like this is really the
decimation of an environment
like this changed the environment and the the topographical uh makeup of yellowstone
so much
that we were retarding growth in a lot of ways or all like i mean anytime you're
ready to do something
there's an alteration but like is it for the good or the bad like well it's
good for some species it's
really good for some birds it's really good for uh some a lot of different
kinds of plants and trees
it's reall
