Joe Rogan Experience #661 - Rutledge Wood

yee-haw all right we're live dude that's it we're going boom it's moving just
like that just like
that this is amazing it's amazing to have you on man i like your show you know
it's one of the few
shows where you take over like it's a real problem whenever you got a show that's
iconic and top
gear is iconic as fuck oh sure i mean it's the iconic car show and then they
did an australia
version they've done other how many versions are there now australia was first
there was a german
one really german one yeah they did something with them once and then that kind
of killed them
there was there's us we're still a thing there was a top gear korea for like
five minutes
which may or may not be going on they're the ones that dropped that apache
helicopter
in the desert everybody was fine it was the same yeah they there was a new
there's like a zl1 camaro
chasing getting chased by an apache helicopter which is something we did in our
first season and the same
helicopter pilot and co-pilot got too close to the the blades got too close and
caught it and it
dropped them oh they walked away the helicopter was toast but then when you
hear it you start there's
certain things that happen you start to look back at your life and go like does
that mean i could have
also almost died when we did that like 20 minutes from my house season one
totally definitely so luckily
that didn't happen apache helicopters are expensive yes the government had all
these helicopters laying
around that they couldn't do anything with and the guy that that flew with us
was a guy named skip lamb
and he and a bunch of other pilots like hey we could do stuff with tv with
movies whatever so they
started this little group and the government gave them a bunch of these surplus
helicopters that they
weren't doing anything with so they exist and they can do different films and
movies and it's cool for
these guys because they get to use the skills that they had and and get to do
something cool with them
but again it's a real helicopter like it's a bad bitch helicopter that they
have to be worth millions
you have to be it has to be when i mean what is one of those worth jamie find
out what one of those
fuckers are worth we had uh not those but we had a bunch of helicopters that we
used on fear factor
and a lot of times they were really close to each other like they'd have to fly
staggered where the
blades of one were just above the blades of the other and they're connected
both of them connected by
ropes to something that they were picking up like a bus or some shit one
fucking stupid thing 52 million
dollars jesus fucking christ wow oh my god i don't feel like there's any of
those on amazon
is what my gut tells me there might be ebay for sure 603 percent more expensive
than the average for
its class were you ever close enough when they were doing that and you can feel
like the wash from
them yeah like i don't i assume you've been in a helicopter yes one of my least
favorite things in
life i've only been uh honestly i never flew in a helicopter the entire time we
did fear factor we we
we shot for six fucking years helicopters every other week i never got on one
good for you because i
couldn't it was a part like you i would have to be insured to get into the
helicopter right but uh
i've been on them on vacation i've done that um the big island in hawaii oh
yeah the volcanoes you've
ever done that i've not i've been there once it was lovely dude it's it's like
literally take like
it takes my breath away just thinking about it because it's the earth bleeding
out into the surface
middle of nowhere pouring into the water and creating the island you watch the
island be created
like it's every day it's like a couple more inches gets added to the big island
and you could actually
literally watch it happen and that's that that's that like next level stuff
meanwhile the whole time
i'm in there i'm thinking like this is going to go down any second that's true
when it takes off or when
it lands is the worst part for me because you can feel when you feel that wind
push up against the
blade and it's like are we going to go are we thinking about that's that's for
me the pants crapping
factor that makes it not fun well it's also i've owned a lot of shit boxes and
i'm sure you have too
so you're aware of things breaking like you're on the highway oh what's that
noise but if a wheel
falls off you and i can pull over exactly if a rotor drops off we make the news
it's not my favorite
yeah i think there's a way they can kind of like bill burr just started flying
helicopters he has this
fucking hilarious bit about it on his uh last netflix special about flying
helicopters but he said that
they're not nearly as bad to crash as people think they are there's a way you
learn how to bring them
down that's what he says i'll pass on that man i will and i for you i would
probably if he ever
invites you up then i just tell him i'll just meet you there man i'll go i'll
just drive i'll go for the
story when i was in high school a buddy of mine was taking flight lessons when
i was in high school i had a
buddy of mine and his his parents were he was a wild guy his family was uh his
dad was a poacher his dad
would like uh shoot deer illegally there's a lot of weird shit in their family
and they were teaching
him at a very young age how to fly planes i don't know what the they're going
to do with the plane but
he came from a very sketchy family but uh we were like 15 and we're in a plane
i'm like dude you're 15
well you shouldn't be flying but we were flying in a little single engine plane
one of those little one of my best friends flies for delta and i i tell him you
know you travel a
lot you get it but like if i hear his name broadcast over the pa i'm probably
going to get off the plane
because i've been drunk with him enough times that it's just i'm i dig that he's
in charge of so many
people's lives i just don't know if we're there did you see the picture of the
plane that ran into a bird
a commercial jet plane slammed into a bird and it caved in the entire front of
the plane no you didn't
see it that's awesome though jamie pull that i mean assuming everyone's okay
everyone lived because
minus the third it hit it perfect but if it hit the wing i mean you look at
what it did to the front of
the plane like if it hit just hit you know six feet to the left six feet to the
right whatever
you look like it people might have died or if it landed through the windshield
it might have killed the
pilot i mean you gotta if you're hitting like a canadian goose like one of
those big
fucking giant geese then you're trying to land in the hudson yeah that's a
whole different exactly
like that story yeah those so there's this place in georgia near me where we
shot the same place with
the helicopter and they are the people that go and recover airplanes look at
that there's there's the
impact holy cow right just boom soft spot right in there so when the plane went
down the hudson these
redneck dudes from griffin georgia were sent up there to get the plane
it's floating in the water right insurance companies pay them to go and recover
these planes
and they have to basically cut them up get them on a on a train or a flatbed or
whatever and so
for christmas one of our executive producers for top gear he was like showing
me oh here's some stuff i
got from ronnie my buddies back in georgia and it was a tiny bottle of jack daniels
that looked like it had
mold growing on the outside and it was one of the bottles that was in the plane
that went down on the
hudson and these guys recovered it and that was his like christmas keepsake to
his friends that's
funny wow that's probably worth money i would think so put that on ebay i mean
they had and there's like
there's this cool old like 50s looking plane i was like oh that looks neat what
like uh they landed that
and the guy was like oh no that plane hit the water in uh panama city that guy
died
oh just it's the most it's you couldn't have a more trite like business unless
maybe you're an
undertaker i i don't i don't know maybe a funeral service director i'm not sure
but you have to
basically go pick up crap after bill burr and his friends learn how to roll a
helicopter that's going
down safely didn't patrick swayze crash drunk wasn't that something that
happened i believe patrick
swayze before he died was boozing it up flying around with his cancer it was
like not so happy with
life going for it just getting hammered and flying around i mean he had cancer
for quite a while
and uh was flying planes and i think he crashed one of them pretty sure he
crashed one of them and
walked away that dude's hardcore and was it uh harrison ford that just landed
one on a on a golf course
yeah he crash landed somewhere harrison ford apparently he got pretty banged up
like that was uh
there was a real crash swayze suspected of drunk flying it was in 2000 excuse
me yeah three men are
facing misdemeanor charges in connection with patrick swayze's emergency
landing earlier this month the
men are accused of failing to tell authorities about how they allegedly helped
the act to remove
alcoholic beverages from his crashed plane he was doing it man he's fucking
dirty dancing guy come on
he's roadhouse let him you know it's weird that like patrick swayze would wear
stuff in those movies
that like if our friends wore we'd kind of make fun of but when patrick swayze
wears you're like that
guy can dance only because you didn't know him if you got to know him after a
while you'd start mocking
him yeah you know if you were hanging around with him if you met patrick swayze
and he was like dancing
you'd be like hey that's pretty cool and then like five minutes later be like
uh do you do sports or just
fucking dance around you play golf or like what what is uh do you have friends
you just kind of friends
you're hanging around with like on a tuesday you just dance you know mikhail
baryshnikov or some
shit like there there's roadhouse roadhouse god what a movie what was my man
playing the guitar um
the blind guy oh yeah that guy he was really good he was really good whatever
happened to that dude he got
killed i think he really yeah died i think he was in a car wreck he wasn't
driving i'm sure as you know
that's not a joke against that guy was i just i asked the same question that
guy was a really good
musician he was great that's right he was in it i forgot he was in it and that's
sam jeff healy thank
you how did he die find it for us this is the i can i get something like that
that just goes with
places right it's so much more fun with someone else like you can continue your
thought that's the
benefit when you have when you have a podcast diet of cancer underwent surgery
remove metastatic tissue
from both lungs oh wow and that's what in alabama that's what we call a car
wreck so my bad i got i
categorized that wrong well we were talking before the the podcast and we were
talking about muscle cars
and we're talking about mustangs and and mustang people being weird like that
you're not the only one
who's ever said that to me i haven't experienced this except in high school
when i was in high school
my um auto shop teacher was a mustang fanatic okay the guy was nuts sure and he
had all these old
shitty mustangs that he had like put back together again and they're all like
he'd have students do
the bondo on them they're all you know look at them sideways it was like
looking at a ski slope
right they were just completely fucked up but he was weird and he just he didn't
like any other cars
he's like i like mustangs just hardcore just all he wanted and he didn't even
like he didn't even
like the cool ones he had like like you know shitty hubcaps and like he never
he never like did
them up nice and where they looked like like something i would want sure i
loved muscle cars but in his
mind they were they were the jam right yeah it was a mustang or nothing that
was his thing and t
