Joe Rogan Questions Everything #3 - Duncan Trussell (Audio Only)

This episode of the Joe Rogan experience is one of the episodes from the sci-fi
series Joe Rogan questions everything
Before we do this podcast I would as I always do like to thank the sci-fi
network
For putting on the show and Tim and Wayne from sci-fi and Frank and Michael
from and Todd as well from the production company
I had a great time with you guys. You're all cool as fuck and I appreciate it
very much. The
Episodes were filmed
For the show and we recorded audio on them to release as a regular podcast
So that's why I want to thank sci-fi for allowing us to put these out. We
decided that the best way to do these podcasts was just to kind of
Have them in the show. There was like busy work that we had to do like Duncan
I'm gonna send you to this place and you're gonna there was a lot of that stuff
But the bulk of the podcast was really just like a regular podcast
Maybe with some specific subjects that we had to cover, but Duncan as always
was fucking hilarious and it was really fun to do
So I hope you enjoy it. This episode is brought to you by Carbonite

Enjoy the podcast ladies and gentlemen, and there are several more to come. How
many more we got left?
Five or six left of these, uh, sci-fi
Podcasts, so with that said without further ado, ladies and gentlemen, enjoy
the podcast
The Joe Rogan experience
Um, yeah, I it it certainly is possible when you look at the fossil record and
you look at this, uh homo floresiensis
This hobbit man from indonesia when you look at the stories of this thing
called the orang pendek, which is another
Supposed small hobbit like furry creature that's running around and then you
hear the stories about
These gigantopithecus
Creatures that used to exist as recently as a hundred thousand years ago. Yes
You start going okay. Well, there seems to have been a lot of different kinds
of primates then of course is that russian
uh, a
Ancestor of human beings that's found
Really recently that 41,000 years ago was a completely different type of human
was not a neanderthal was not a homo sapien
It was something totally different. Yeah, and that's 40,000 years ago
so you're
it seems like as
Scientists accumulate more and more evidence they're finding that there was a
broad variety of primates
that
Branched off in a bunch of different chains and it very well could have been
that there's more than one intelligent one
That it wasn't just human beings
It wasn't just human beings and neanderthals
It wasn't just human beings and neanderthals and this new one that they
discovered there might have been many more
The problem with fossils is it's really hard to leave a fossil when something
dies
They just it just rots it gets absorbed by the earth bacteria eats it animals
eat it
That's what happens to most of us when we die
When you find a fossil it's because something
Fell
Into mud or got caught in a lava field or this there has to be something really
weird that happens
Ice amber
Yes, it's very rare for something to last on this planet very long after it
dies
Yeah, so our view of like what used to exist is so weird because it's it's
based on such a small amount of data
Really kind of incredible when you stop and think about what they have
discovered used to exist
Especially in regards to dinosaurs and all the different animals that have been
extinct for millions and millions of years
Based on just this one way of acquiring the the you know evidence of their body
a fossil. Yeah, it's amazing
And that they can reconstruct what they looked like with some accuracy
It is fascinating man and all of this stuff has shown me how i'm
A lazy skeptic like you know how there's people who just believe anything
Well, there's also the opposite of that which is people who just disbelieve
anything. Yeah, they don't look into well
Why why am I a skeptic? Why don't I believe this?
This is the thing with people who roll their eyes at bigfoot and by the way
after going
Squatching with you i've gotten a lot of eye rolls when I tell people
Yeah
Maybe there's a bigfoot but in silver lake
Yeah, and silver lake all you get is eye rolls. It's like seizures if you tell
someone you believe in bigfoot
It's like watching someone on ecstasy their eyes go so far back in their head,
but
I've
The thing i've realized is that a lot of people
Will instantly say i don't believe in that and you say well, why don't you
believe in that and they'll say well
Because it doesn't exist and you say well, why what's your evidence that it
doesn't exist and they don't know they have no
evidence
Either way, so I think that's an interesting thing that i've discovered in
myself
Which is that i'm an automatic skeptic when you would talk about bigfoot in
earlier podcasts or just on the phone with me in my mind
I'm like this is fucking horse
Shit
Deep deep knee deep horse shit
With no reason to believe no reason to say that yeah, no reason having not
Investigated it at all having not even done a web search on it like really just
not even thinking about it
And now I think well, you know what? I think that there is
I think that it takes something a little bit more than fantasy to drive
An anthropologist or a scientist or someone who only has their career to ruin
out in the forest to hunt for a
mystical
monkey thing
I think that there needs to there's some evidence out there that would make a
person risk his entire career
Uh to come out publicly saying that he believes in bigfoot
yeah, well this homo
Florisensis the the hobbit man of indonesia
Just stop and think about that that that was in
2005 was when they discovered these things
Just stop and think about if if someone said did you know before that did you
know that 13 000 years ago?
There was a type of human a really tiny one that was hairy and sneaky and maybe
stole human babies and
Made its own stone tools, but didn't grow any higher than three feet tall. Yeah
Get out of here, but it's just ain't lord of the rings. Yeah, you're making
things up. Yeah, go roll some dnd dice nerd
Dork yeah, but it was real. That was a real animal right. They know for a fact
This is a bona fide real animal buried. It's dead
Lived in tribes made stone tools three feet. What is that? Is that like that?
Um, well, it's my penis times three
Ha ha ha ha
Three feet. Yes, three feet tall is a tiny tiny little guy
Um, a little little little creature and there's also giants think about that to
this three-foot creature
It lived in a land of giants where people would go lumbering through its forest.
This is a real thing
This is people listening to this right now should just google search this to
know
That tiny little hobbit men once wandered the earth
This existed. Yes, it really did and a very recent
Discovery less than a decade some people say they still exist. Yes, that's the
other thing
That there's uh, there's reports of them those islands
There's there's so many islands in and around that area
And there are reports that these things have been discovered on these islands
by people that have explored
And that the the locals say they've seen them and there's like again the orang
pendek
Which is another tiny little hairy man that has been reported being seen by
people for many many years
So it's it's it's it's possible if you think of that the the size of them and
then us
And then think of a bigfoot and then think of an elephant
I mean, there's a lot of big things and there's a lot of little things on this
planet
And just because we haven't physically laid eyes on a bigfoot
We physically haven't seen a sasquatch
We don't have a real good photo or a video of it doesn't mean it's not real
doesn't mean it's not real
And just because many of the people who believe in bigfoot are several cards
short of a full deck
Doesn't mean it doesn't exist just because a crazy person says it's real does
not mean that it's not real
Sure, I mean how many crazy people were talking about this hobbit, man?
Tons
I'm sure
I'm sure a lot of people in that area were saying if there was a smart man a
tiny little furry man
Yeah
Bow and arrow you'd be like get out of here, bitch. A little man stole my baby.
Yeah, ridiculous, right?
Nobody would ever possibly believe that now
what I thought was interesting about the
The squatching first of all was that the guys who do it
They I mean they take it really seriously steve and john
They set up camera traps. They set up recording devices. They they use thermal
imaging
They they really take it seriously
Yeah, and if one day out of all this searching if one day
They actually do stumble upon one of these things. What a glorious moment. It'll
be for them
It'll be a glorious moment for me
I'll go out in the street and scream
Enjoy if one of those guys finds bigfoot and I would really hope it would be
those guys
I mean even more than us I know and and that
Sounds like i'm being selfless, but we don't deserve it
And compared to the amount of time that those guys are putting in they have
full-time jobs
And yet they have vans that are set up for
Squatching with solar panels on them and they mean they have this all these
different pieces of technology
camera traps and time-lapse photography things and
Audio recorders, I mean they really you know, they're they're really trying
they're dedicated and we need people like that
Look, you're not going to get the most sane people going out into the woods to
look for bigfoot until some evidence
And then it'll be swarmed with real scientists
Yeah, if something happens and they actually get some concrete evidence where
people are like, oh my god
It's we're dealing with a real animal
Then you're gonna have teams of real scientists that are in the woods. Yeah,
and those guys will get arrested
You think so? Oh, yeah, you know what they'll get in the way of the thing
They'll quarantine the whole area and all those guys will get hauled off
But I will say this, you know whether or not there's a bigfoot
If you want to turn a boring camping trip into a fun camping trip
Just go out into the woods and pretend that you're looking for bigfoot
It's it's the renaissance fair of camping. It's like go out there
just believe in the
Possibility that there could be a bigfoot and start walking through the forest
smoke some
Powerful rogan weed. We probably can't talk about that
But if you go I think that there is I think that
Squatching is the renaissance fair of camping. It's an imaginary
Way that you can turn a boring camping trip into a thing that has the potential
to transform
Human history forever and conversely if you go squatching and you're
unsuccessful at the very least you went camping
You went camping you can't lose
You went camping and I remember when I was a kid like when my parents would
drag me out in
