Boom, and we're live.…
- JRJoe Rogan
Boom, and we're live. Jamie, where'd you get that awesome shirt? Show everybody your shirt.
- NANarrator
I picked it up yesterday.
- JRJoe Rogan
Can you show the people your shirt?
- NANarrator
Yeah. I picked it up yesterday. It says "Believe... Believe dat." (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs) "Believe dat."
- NANarrator
It's from The Hundreds. I saw it at the store yesterday.
- JRJoe Rogan
What is The Hundreds?
- NANarrator
The Hundreds is a street wear brand. It's a store in Fairfax.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, I thought it was, like, a scene in a movie.
- NANarrator
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
I was confused. Oh, so-
- NANarrator
Yeah. I just saw it and I was like, "Ah, dope." Getting it.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, I mean, that's a combination of that girl who was on Dr. Phil's show and UFOs.
- NANarrator
Sorta, yeah. Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- NANarrator
Take-
- JRJoe Rogan
"Believe dat."
- NANarrator
Yeah. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
'Cause, like, believe... Believe is so X-Files, d- year two... 1999 or whatever it was. Like, when was The X-Files on?
- NANarrator
It's on now.
- JRJoe Rogan
But when... Yeah, right.
- NANarrator
Oh, yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
But when was the original one?
- NANarrator
Yeah, uh...
- JRJoe Rogan
Like, when did it start?
- NANarrator
90s. Late 90s, mid-90s. Yeah, I feel like-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. Believe is that. That's that poster, and it's... I always just... You can't disconnect them from the po- the poster in Mulder's office. But "Believe dat?" That's today. You nailed it.
- NANarrator
Even...
- JRJoe Rogan
Whoever made that shirt. (laughs)
- NANarrator
I wanna believe.
- 15:00 – 30:00
Yeah. …
- JRJoe Rogan
look like a man in a suit. They move different, man. Chimps kind of like throw themselves with their arms.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
And kick up. They move diff- you can't move like that. You can't move like that. You could try. You're not gonna be able to move the way a chimp moves. Especially if a chimp's moving fast, just get the fuck out of here. (laughs) It's like you're not even close. You look like a guy pretending to be a chimp. You're moving like a guy. All these things move like people. They move like people. Like your brain, that little computer in your brain that recognizes shapes goes, "Oh, that's a guy in a monkey suit."
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Right?
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Instantly. Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's exactly what you think 'cause it is. That's what it is.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
That one video with the, with the word- the famous one, that we know that one's, uh, that was a guy in a suit, right?
- JRJoe Rogan
(sighs) Well, there's people that dispute it, but that's the Patterson, uh, footage. And the Patterson footage is like the most f- famous footage in all of Bigfoot lore, because this guy, who... (sighs) And I'm pretty sure the guy was a- he was arrested for something like, for not pay- (laughs) I believe it was something like not paying for the very camera that he used to film the Bigfoot footage.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Wow.
- JRJoe Rogan
He, he was arrested (laughs) for it. So the guy, okay, he's s- he's stealing cameras, right? That's not good.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
And then there's another guy who claims that he wore the suit. What the fuck is that guy's name? I always forget that guy's name.
- NANarrator
Gimlin, that guy.
- JRJoe Rogan
Uh, Gimlin is the guy that was there, and then there was the other guy who wore the suit, who's a large fella. And there's a picture of him walking, like he w- he showed how he did it, and he walked and then you see on the other side of the screen the guy in the monkey suit doing the exact same walking.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Heronimus, Bob Hero-
- NANarrator
They say Bob Hieronymous. They say, yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Bob Hieronymous. That's it. Now I remember. Bob Hieronymous, who's a big cowboy-looking dude. And they had him walk with a monkey suit on. (laughs)
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Wow.
- JRJoe Rogan
And everybody was like, "That's real Bigfoot footage." This guy bought a monkey suit too, by the way.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
The?
- JRJoe Rogan
The, the guy who made the film. He had bought a monkey suit.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Wow.
- JRJoe Rogan
And he said he was gonna use the monkey suit to like, you know, film, uh, reenactments or practice filming with it or something like that, some cockamamy reason for having a monkey suit. (laughs) It's just like the whole thing is so stupid. It's- if you look at all the pieces involved, you're like, "Oh, yeah, you guys were fucking around and, you know, y- you filmed some shit while you were on a horse so it was all bouncy. You see this thing walking across the screen." But now they can isolate that footage, 'cause it used to be all bouncy and shaky. With computers, they can isolate it and get it all into one s- flat plane-
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... and you watch it move. It's a fucking guy in a monkey suit, man.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
(laughs)
- NANarrator
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
100%. Right?
- 30:00 – 45:00
Oh my God, that…
- THTony Hinchcliffe
take him seriously (laughs) after that.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh my God, that is hilarious. But here's the thing, by me saying all this, I, I, I'm not saying that people haven't seen UFOs 'cause I don't know what they've seen. It's totally possible that something that's capable of coming here from another dimension, especially before recently, right? Would be able to figure out how to avoid detection somehow or another. They're probably pretty close to figuring out how to do that now. I mean, they have the stealth bomber which avoids radar detection. And they... I know they have those cloaks. Uh, you've seen those jackets that people wear where it literally shows a video of what's behind you?
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Uh-uh.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. It's, it's like this new technology that they're trying to develop where literally you, your clothes would show exactly what's behind you. So you've got a camera, some sort of camera system mounted somewhere on you, and it's taking a picture of what's behind you. It's streaming what's behind you. And so then that appears on your clothes. So as you move, you literally are everything that's behind you. There's this weird, like, Predator effect from the movie. It's very crude right now. But you look at it and you go, "Oh, this is the future." They're just gonna become ... Everything's gonna become-
- THTony Hinchcliffe
The future's scary.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's weird.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
You watch Black Mirror?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yes.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Oh my God.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yes.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
They make it look like everything in the future is (laughs) gonna make us crazy.
- JRJoe Rogan
That show's so good, man.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Wow.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's so good.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
I- in terms of like a show that makes you just like after the show's over you just go, "What the fuck?" That crocodile expert, uh, um, e- episode rather-
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
... crocodile, uh, I had like 15 friends text me after that going, "What in the fuck was that?"
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
"What the fuck?" It's so crazy.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
And it's so good. And you can see it happening. You're like, "No, no fucking way."
- THTony Hinchcliffe
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
"No fucking way." Like, "Oh my God." It's ... I don't remember a show ever that's that powerful. Like when it comes to a science fiction type show.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
I don't remember a ... I mean, there were some amazing shows on before but they were all really fiction shows. Right? Like this is fiction with like a dash of futuristic possibility.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
Like dystopian future. That fucking dog one with the robot dog.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Oh yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Jesus Christ. What was that called? Metalhead?
- 45:00 – 1:00:00
Yeah. …
- JRJoe Rogan
guy was a, uh, one of those big NRA shooting competition type characters. This is a terrible, terrible trag- tragedy, and these terrible tragedies seem to keep happening and we don't do anything to change. Everybody's worried about, you know, their Second Amendment rights being taken away, you know, people worried about law-abiding people who would never do anything like this worried about their guns getting taken away. But they... And all, all of us, we have, we have to figure this out. This, this can't just keep going on this way. And whatever it is, whatever's causing it, whether it's the way people are raising people, the way people are treating people, uh, whatever fucking crazy mental imbalances that we're now treating in, in each other, whatever the fuck it is, whether it's biological... Whatever the fuck it is that, that we just can't keep, as a, as a civilization, as a, as a, a thing that should, in its best times, be able to get along great with each other. These little aberrations, they're horrific aberrations, but they exist frequently. (sighs) There's so many of us.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
320 something million people?
- NANarrator
They are. This is from 2015.
- JRJoe Rogan
More guns than people, yeah.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Whoa.
- JRJoe Rogan
Whoa, okay. (sighs) Oh, boy.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Wow.
- JRJoe Rogan
So the- there's 317 million people in 2013 and 357 million guns. That's crazy. But then the people who are gun nuts will be like, "What do you fucking care how many guns I have, man? Okay? I'm a law-abiding citizen. I would never do anything like that. That guy did. That guy's a piece of shit. Fuck him." And they're right too.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
They're right too. If you're, if you haven't done anything and you would never do anything, why would you get lumped in with someone who has? If you have a truck and you would never dream into plowing into a, a mall full of people, why would you get lumped, lumped into the same group as a guy who has a truck who did do that? Why should you? It's not fair. But we still have to figure this out. It just... There's something wrong. There's something wrong when there's th- that many more things that can kill us than us.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
If a guy pointed a gun, uh, uh, at you from across a room, do you have something in your head plan that you would do?
- JRJoe Rogan
No, there's nothing you can do.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
I would do a bunch of cartwheels and somersaults.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- THTony Hinchcliffe
That's always been, like, sort of my plan. I feel like if I just do weird movements, uh, you could avoid s-
- JRJoe Rogan
There's almost nothing you can do.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
You know, it's, um, ter- ter- terrifying, terrifying thing the, the ability to just end someone's life with a single movement of your hand.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
And we learn so early on. I remember, you know, Duck Hunt as a kid, the Nintendo like, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick.
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm. Yeah.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Remember that? And you had the gun.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
And it's like we learn so early on.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, it's just that people value people so poorly that they would do that. This is where we have to find, like, the root of what that is. And that sounds, this sounds very philosophical and hippie dippy, but we, we have to examine what could possibly be inside someone that would make them want to do something like that. What would that be? I don't... I mean, how the fuck does that happen? How does it... How are there, in the same timeline, we're not talking about, like, primitive Roman days or the Vikings or anything crazy, we're talking about right now. How in the same timeline does a guy like you exist alongside someone who could do that? There's something wrong. There's a d- there's-
- THTony Hinchcliffe
I also think that there's something to be said about, like, awareness of depression and-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yep.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
... psychological disorders for the older generation. I feel like in the future more people are gonna know about it and take it as a real thing. But I still think now there's probably, there's definitely a lot of stubborn parents out there that ignore it and go, "You're not depressed. Get up."
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
You know, and all this-
- 1:00:00 – 1:15:00
Yeah. …
- JRJoe Rogan
of that.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Mark Schultz was a gorilla.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
I mean, just like I said, top of the food chain American wrestler. He's a fucking tank.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
And so, this is him fighting Gary Goodrich with like, very little striking, very little striking training. He's just looking for this. He's just... And once he gets this, oh fuck, all that.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Oh, wow.
- JRJoe Rogan
Boom.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Takes him to the ground like he's a sack of potatoes, beats the shit out of him, mounts him, does whatever wants to him when he has him on the ground, uh, whatever he wants to him. It's a level of grappling that the UFC up until then had never seen. You know, it's like if a guy like Daniel Cormier entered into the octagon back there, same kind of thing. Just takes... Everybody's going down. Shut the fuck up. There's not gonna be any stuff in these takedowns.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
There's a guy named Jordan Burroughs out there-
- NANarrator
I think they stopped that.
- JRJoe Rogan
What's that?
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Why'd they just stop that right there?
- JRJoe Rogan
'Cause it, well, it was different times, man. It was, uh, back then-
- THTony Hinchcliffe
See that cut.
- JRJoe Rogan
... yeah, they would... D- they didn't know what the fuck they were doing half the time. Like, look, Mark's got no gloves on and Gary's got no gloves on, but back in the day, you could wear gloves if you wanted to. And I think he has shoes on. Yep, he's got wrestling shoes on. And look at this, boom. I mean, every time he wants to, he could take him down. This is s-... And he's mounted him.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Wow.
- JRJoe Rogan
This is just a level of grappling that you just don't understand.You're not getting them off you. Stop.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
(laughs)
- NANarrator
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Just stop. This is nonsense. You don't even understand. This is like a- uh, I mean, and Big Daddy Goodrich, I should just say, is a incredibly strong guy and an awesome athlete. What's happening here? Did he tap?
- THTony Hinchcliffe
That's a-
- JRJoe Rogan
Did that ... What happened?
- THTony Hinchcliffe
That's Big John.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, did he key lock him? Is that what he's-
- NANarrator
... everywhere. Gary really needs those dark glasses now.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's interesting. I, why did I f- in my head I had that he beat him up and won a decision. What ha- how did, how did that result?
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Let's see what that was again.
- 1:15:00 – 1:17:35
What did he do?…
- JRJoe Rogan
I wanna guess it was an extra 15 seconds. I think that might be, uh ...
- THTony Hinchcliffe
What did he do? He just chilled for a bit?
- JRJoe Rogan
Might have been less than 15. Uh, he just ... He didn't get up. He sat there.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yoel did.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, there was round ... He was in there, the, the corner was leaving, he's still sitting on the stool.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
They didn't even-
- NANarrator
For approximately 30 seconds.
- JRJoe Rogan
30 seconds.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Wow.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's a long time.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
That's a long time.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's a long time. I was thinking it was 15. And I was thinking I might have, I might have been wrong, it might have been 10.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
They didn't even try a trick like the old spill the ice? That classic, which I love so much.
- JRJoe Rogan
(sighs) Dude, 30 seconds is a long time for a guy to recover. You could ... He could have easily been KO'd. He could have ... I mean, who knows? 'Cause he's such a super athlete, he might have been able to rebound. But he might not have too.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
You ... Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
We'll, we'll never know.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
If you're taking 30 seconds, you're taking it 'cause 20 seconds wasn't enough.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. Well, it's ... Yeah. Well, it would be a minute at that point. It was a minute and then, you know, a 30-second break on top of that. So it was a minute 30 for ... from the time Tim was beating on him till the time the round ends, he goes back to his corner clearly fucked up, and then he sits on the stool for a long time. It's a, it's 100% of an ... an asterict, asterisk. Do you ever say that word right?
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Asterisk.
- JRJoe Rogan
Asterisk?
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Asterisk.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, it always sounds wrong. It's like when George Bush used to say especially, and he would say expecially.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs) Like, hey, dude.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Did this is about the Vaseline? Does that have anything to do with it?
- JRJoe Rogan
Uh-
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Like, there was so much Vaseline on him and they tried to get the trainer in and he couldn't understand what they were saying.
- JRJoe Rogan
Was that what it was too?
- THTony Hinchcliffe
That's what this says here.
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
