“Believe dat” shirt sparks UFO talk and why aliens are the #1 mystery
- 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.
- 1:53 – 6:08
Jane Goodall says Bigfoot exists: credibility, primatology, and giant chimps
- THTony Hinchcliffe
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
'Cause some of these Bigfoot people are so... There's spectrums of Bigfoot people, man. There's Bigfoot people. There's people that are, like, real primatologists, like Jane Goodall. Jane Goodall believes in Bigfoot, believe it or not. It's really fascinating. There's a whole, uh, interview with her where she says she's sure of it. She said she's sure that there's another species. Th-
- THTony Hinchcliffe
How c- how can she be sure?
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, let's play the clip. See if we can find that clip. Um...
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Who's Jane Goodall again?
- JRJoe Rogan
She's a world-famous primatologist who did some groundbreaking work with chimpanzees. She essentially lived with chimpanzees. She's so powerful. I mean-
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Wow.
- JRJoe Rogan
... this lady's amazing if you... You watch her documentaries. So when someone like her says something like that, I'm like, "Okay. Well, I should shut the fuck up and stay in my lane." What? Am I gonna argue with Jane Goodall about primates? And it used to be a real thing. There used to really be a Gigantopithecus, an eight-foot-tall orangutan-like thing that probably walked on two legs. (smacks lips)
- THTony Hinchcliffe
And so-
- JRJoe Rogan
And she believes it's real.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
... she thinks it did exist or she thinks there might-
- JRJoe Rogan
She thinks it exists right now.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Wow.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Wow.
- JRJoe Rogan
I don't think it was taken out of context, 'cause, uh, I'm pretty sure it was, um... Someone asked her a question and then she gave a, a long and detailed answer. Based on, like, what we know about certain chimpanzee subspecies that are really, really hard to find. Like, we're, we're just finding out... I think they figured it out from, like, the 1990s. There's a giant version of chimpanzees that lives in the Congo. It's a... They're, they're calling 'em, uh, Bondo apes or, uh... There's a couple different names for 'em, they call 'em. But they sleep on the ground like gorillas. They're giant chimps.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
I love that stuff, man.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs) These are apes. They're huge.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
I just watched Planet Earth 2 the other day, just mesmerized, just physically saying, like, "Wow. Wow."
- JRJoe Rogan
I don't think a normal person understands what you're talking about when you say a six-foot-tall chimp.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
I just don't think they know what you're talking about. You're talking about, like, a super gorilla. It's, like, not... It's, it's way scarier than a gorilla because they're, they're chimps. Chimps are scarier. Chimps are predators.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Chimps eat monkeys, man. I mean, they, they... People wanna associate chimps with bananas and nuts and stuff like that, and they eat that stuff too, but they also eat monkeys.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Scary.
- JRJoe Rogan
Dude. They're r- they're ruthless motherfuckers. What is this, buddy?
- NANarrator
This is from a NPR Conversation in 2002.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, see if you can find the actual recording, 'cause it's fascinating when you hear the tone of her voice.
- NANarrator
Okay.
- JRJoe Rogan
She says something like, "I'm sure of it."
- 6:08 – 8:15
Playing the Goodall audio: belief, ‘romantic’ thinking, and Bigfoot ‘street cred’
- JRJoe Rogan
Is that her?
- THTony Hinchcliffe
This is- this is the interview, but I don't know where in the interview it is.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, okay.
- NANarrator
From my perspective-
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Should I take a guess?
- NANarrator
... again, uh, just considering the-
- JRJoe Rogan
"Well, you're going to be amazed when I tell you, I'm sure they exist." It's like a scene in a movie when she says it, because here she is, this esteemed scientist, right? And you're expecting, "Well, there's no evidence and right now it's just ... We think of it as legend and could possibly be a bunch of different things that people think they saw."
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Voice and delivery is important when it comes to being convinced of something.
- JRJoe Rogan
(sighs) Oh, yeah.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
You think about like, you know, all the way to just comedians.
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
You know, you think of Chappelle's voice, if you look at the transcript of what Chappelle's saying at times, I'm sure it's not that insane. But you listen to him say those things? Same goes with ... Who? Joey Diaz?
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, yeah. For sure.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
You know?
- JRJoe Rogan
And when it's coming from a- a scientist with long gray hair who lives with chimps. (laughs)
- THTony Hinchcliffe
She must be ... I mean, I ... You think she's hooked up with a chimp? I mean, all those nights-
- JRJoe Rogan
No.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Come on.
- JRJoe Rogan
No chance. No chance.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
She lives with all of them?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
I don't know. It sounds like there's some monkey business going on over there.
- JRJoe Rogan
How dare you? Oh, no. He did it. He couldn't help it. He set-
- THTony Hinchcliffe
(laughs) I didn't even mean to.
- JRJoe Rogan
... he set it up.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Here it is.
- NANarrator
999-8255-
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Sasquatch is real.
- NANarrator
... Philadelphia. Hi.
- 8:15 – 18:13
Evidence problems: footprints, ‘man in a suit’ videos, and the Patterson-Gimlin controversy
- THTony Hinchcliffe
She probably knows more than me. So, you know, if you can, when in doubt, go with the person who knows more than you. But I've ne- ... I've never seen any, like, real evidence other than these footprint things. I mean, everything else is just bullshit. They find hair, turns out to be bear hair. They find scat, turns out to be like wolf scat. Where'd they find the footprints at?
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, they find them everywhere, man.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
But (sighs) you don't know what you're looking at, you know? It could be anything. It could be someone decided to fake footprints. You know, it could be a big bear. That's l- less likely. But- but it depends on the area. Like a big grizzly bear print. Who knows? I mean, you would ... If- to- to make it look like a human foot, it would have to either be a giant human foot or be just incredible special effects. It's one of two things.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
You know, some of them. When they got like ridges, they've- they've found like dermal ridges that indicate, uh ... They think it indicates like what ... Like a footprint type thing, but with the- with the feet of these things. They seem to think that that somehow or another makes it a- a very- a very difficult to fake. But (sighs) people want to believe that shit. (laughs) That's part of the problem. Part of the problem is it's fun. It's super fun to believe that someone's not fucking with you, but that some big giant monkey just walked through. But with every day, every passing minute of every day, it becomes way less likely that that's a real thing, because there's so many people with cameras.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
And these people go deep into the woods.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
And I think it's also like, uh, one of the cooler things to believe in, because it's not-
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, yeah, man.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
You know? But even if it did exist like- ... we have guns and shit. Whereas like if aliens existed, we're fucked.
- JRJoe Rogan
We're fucked. Yeah, we're fucked. Maybe.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
So we're sort of rooting for the sasquatches in the world.
- JRJoe Rogan
Why?
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Out of all the-
- JRJoe Rogan
Look, there had to be a bunch of different kinds of human being-like creatures that existed. It just only makes sense. They're finding new ones all the time. They're like constantly finding some new subspecies of people that they weren't aware of before. It's super possible that something grew to be like that. Like why wouldn't it be? If- if we can get a chimp ... Why- why is that so weird? Like it's not any weirder than a person or a chimp. Both of those things are way weirder. Like if we found another person, we'd be like, "Holy shit. Look what it's done." Like if we could ... Well, if we poked our head into some other dimension, right? And we just stuck our head through and we saw the impact of a human civilization on the natural world, we'd be like, "What the fuck? That's way crazier than Bigfoot."
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Like a human being is making tubes out of aluminum with giant wings and shooting itself into the sky and landing on different spots. It's sucking oil out of the ground and using it to build everything. It's talking online and it goes through the air and winds up on your phone. All this is done by a human. That's way crazier than Bigfoot. (laughs)
- THTony Hinchcliffe
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
That's fucking crazy. Then you go to chimps. Chimps are way crazier than Bigfoot. They're hunting monkeys, man. They're fucking forming little societies together. Some of them are figuring out how to use tools.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
And they're right there. Like that's way crazier than Bigfoot. Bigfoot's just a shy guy.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Just fucking ... He just, he just wants to be alone. Just let him find a good place to shit. You can't find any Bigfoot shit, because he's always paranoid that people are watching him. So he's holding his shit in.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
I- I think Jane Goodall's wrong on this one.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- THTony Hinchcliffe
I'm gonna be honest with you. I don't know where ... But I'm gonna go out there, off on a limb.
- JRJoe Rogan
That is a limb. It's quite a limb, sir. Why would you think that she would think it's real? Because she wants it to be real?
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yeah. And, you know, she said that she was talking to native Americans about it and, you know, they're like, you know-... they, they go off on... They're a little bit trippy, right?
- JRJoe Rogan
Right, they might have been paying ODing the fuck up, right?
- 18:13 – 21:22
Pacific Northwest wilderness to D.B. Cooper: mysteries that survive the search
- JRJoe Rogan
The only reason to give it any credence at all is the vast expanse of wilderness that exists in the Pacific Northwest, because it's so lush. It's so crazy that no one's getting in there and figuring out exactly what's in there. Like, eve- I, I really think everyone who lives in, um, this area especially, 'cause you can get up there pretty quick-... but anybody anywhere should go to- th- th- the Pacific Northwest, like, go to the mountains right above Seattle. (slaps table) That's a crazy place, man.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
That was way crazier than looking for Bigfoot. One of the craziest parts about that trip was being in that real rainforest. The real thing was fucking bananas. It's thick, like- (stutters) like, you can't see anything.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Like, every two feet, there's another tree.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
I mean, it's just thick with trees.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Which reminds me of my- w- my favorite thing, uh, basically mystery ever, D.B. Cooper, 'cause that's where he jumped out of that plane at.
- JRJoe Rogan
Really?
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Was in the ho- most horrible place you can imagine.
- JRJoe Rogan
Did he do that in Pacific Northwest?
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Oh, yeah, super. They flew outta Seattle, heading back down again-
- JRJoe Rogan
(exhales)
- THTony Hinchcliffe
... and he just hit that button on the rear case.
- JRJoe Rogan
God, that's crazy.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
They felt the plane shake, and then, poof, he's gone.
- JRJoe Rogan
He's gonna land in the trees, for sure.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
And it seems like that, but his parachute, none of his stuff ever recovered, and then they combed that thing. They did find, like, s- a stack of money, I think, like, 10 or 20,000 of the bills sort of buried at a beach next to a creek.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
But for the most part, it's one of my favorite fucking little ... I mean, the fact that that guy maybe made off with ... I think it was only- it was something low, like, 150 or s-
- NANarrator
Yeah, he got $200,000.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
- NANarrator
(laughs) And then ...
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs) Yeah.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
... $200,000, but back then, 'cause this is in what year?
- NANarrator
Uh, '71.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
'71.
- NANarrator
Or something like that.
- JRJoe Rogan
Wow.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
And he- and he didn't just hijack the plane. He made the plane land, get rid of the passengers, bring them parachutes, bring the money, and have it take off again. Like, this is way back before pe- you know, he just-
- 21:22 – 30:01
Somerton Man ‘Tamam Shud’ and a quick detour into Elizabeth Warren ancestry politics
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yeah. And I was just in, uh, in Australia, and I visited the grave of, uh, the, uh, Tyum Shmm- Schm- Schmidt? Schud? The- another crazy mystery one. You ever hear of that one?
- JRJoe Rogan
No.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
The guy that was found at the beach in, uh, Adelaide. I actually went to the cemetery and visited his grave during the day one of the days I had off there, uh, when I was doing shows in Adelaide. And this guy was found at a beach. This is one of- another one of the great mysteries ever. Found at a beach wearing a suit. Uh, he had a half-lit- a- a cigarette that was out, like, in his collar. They found him. He'd been dead. They- they don't know the guy. There's no ID on him, no nothing, so they keep him around for a few weeks in the morgue waiting for some type of information on the guy. They- they just don't want to bury him, and eventually they cut through his clothes and they find that there is a little pocket with a piece of paper, like, on the inseam of his pants or his shirt. I can't remember. They trace the- they can tell that it's cut out of a book called the Tyum Shud or something like that. I'm not saying it right 'cause it's some old Latin word or something. And- but there's a code on it and a phone number or some- or no, there's a code on it, but they know that ... No, there's not a code on it.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- THTony Hinchcliffe
It's just a piece of paper from a book.
- JRJoe Rogan
Okay.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
And they have the page and everything, so they go to the newspaper. They're like, "Hey, does anybody, uh, know- have this c- copy of this book so that we can find out who this guy is and why this is sewed in on him?" They don't get anything, so they go nationwide to Australia and try to figure out what this piece of paper's from. They find the book in another part of Australia with the missing part, and in that book is a phone number and a code that every code breaker ever has tried to figure out, and they just don't know. So it's the Tomb of the Unknown Man.
- JRJoe Rogan
Whoa.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yeah. And it goes, like, deep. There's so many theories about what happened to this guy, and it could've been the CIA. He could've been an American spy. He could've been a Russian spy. He could've been an Australian spy. Like, nobody knows anything about this guy.
- JRJoe Rogan
Whoa.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
And they followed up, and there's some g- there's a guy that, like, has some crazy theory, but I don't know.
- JRJoe Rogan
There's a guy that has a crazy theory?
- THTony Hinchcliffe
I mean, there's a ton of people that have-
- JRJoe Rogan
That's for everything in the world. You know, there's people that think that the Elon Musk thing was fake, it was a hoax.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Oh my God.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- THTony Hinchcliffe
I saw someone yesterday with that malarkey.
- NANarrator
(laughs)
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
DNA just-
- NANarrator
Somerton Man.
- JRJoe Rogan
... tied a mystery death in Australia to Thomas Jefferson.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Whoa. When's that from?
- NANarrator
This is that guy.
- JRJoe Rogan
"Unidentified man found dead on Australian beach baffled investigators for decades. A new DNA analysis links Somerton Man to Thomas Jefferson and Native Americans." So he was an ancestor of Thomas Jefferson and Native Americans?
- THTony Hinchcliffe
That's interesting. I've never read that.
- JRJoe Rogan
So they- yeah, so they essentially just did a- a DNA test on him.
- NANarrator
Did an-
- THTony Hinchcliffe
They call him the Somerton Man because that's the beach that, uh, he was found at.
- JRJoe Rogan
Uh, you guys, you know about this Elizabeth Warren stuff? Do you know who that w- woman is? She's a politician.
- 30:01 – 37:42
Stealth tech, cloaking clothes, and robot ‘dogs’ opening doors (Black Mirror future)
- 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?
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
- 37:42 – 58:57
Drones, weaponized robots, and the Florida shooting: guns, media contagion, and AR-15 debates
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, we have to worry about people more than we even have to worry about drones. Right? Th- this new shooting in Florida freaked me the fuck out again.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yeah, it's happening-
- JRJoe Rogan
Just-
- THTony Hinchcliffe
... all the time now.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's horrific. And the crazy thing is, like, kids used to joke around about this guy doing that someday. That was something they joked around about.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
I think that, uh, I think that the way that the news reports it and the way that it's such big news isn't helping at all. 'Cause one thing that I've noticed is the whole car ramming thing, like, that's a new thing.
- JRJoe Rogan
Car ramming thing?
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Where the... a lot of the things that are happening are people just getting in a truck or a car and just-
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
... running people down.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
It's a fairly new thing-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
... that started with, like, I don't know, maybe that French one or something like that. I can't remember the first one.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
But since then, because the report- you know, they're just... They report it and they blow these things up and then bing, bang, boom. Like, I feel like going off of the car ramming situation and the growth in car rammings alone, that we could sort of see how overly reporting these... I mean, I don't know if that's even a thing or if I'm, what I'm saying is making sense at all, but...
- JRJoe Rogan
I know what you're trying to say, but the counter to that would be, someone had... What was the, the... Someone made a really good analogy. (sighs) The, the point being what this is, is only happening here. We have to figure out why it's happening here so often. It rarely happens anywhere else, but here it happens pretty often. So what is that? Is it access to guns? Is it mental health? Is it both of those things? Is it, um... It's just far too easy to get guns? Is it that you're not being monitored in the, in the sense of being talked about? And people don't want anybody infringing upon their rights, right? But if we just sat down and had a rational conversation with someone to renew a gun license, you know, rational conversation with someone who doesn't work for a gun group or anything, just someone-
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... who could just give you a reasonable reason why you should be suspicious about this person having a firearm. And you really don't want to do that either, though, 'cause you can't trust people. It's like you, you're putting people in a position of power to decide who gets the guns and who doesn't get the guns. It's all very, very fucking terrifying and c- and confusing.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
It seems like the AR-15 is the one that they need to keep an eye on, because all the biggest ones are that, and it seems to be able to mow down, mow down a lot of people at once.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, semi-automatic rifles are more effective in those type of mass shooting situations. That's why those guys use them. That's why they use them in, you know, all sorts of horrific ways all, all around the world, right? That's what they're good at. The... So then the question is, are they too lethal for a regular person just to be carrying around? I... Y- you'd want to know why a regular person wants to carry them around, and then you would realize, is that really my right to even ask a regular person why they need it? I mean, if most of these people are law-abiding gun owners, when we freak out that one person who legally bought a gun, in this case, is a, a kid who legally bought it, does it, does this horrific thing. It's a very good question, and it's a question we all have to ask ourselves. Like, how many times does this happen before something happens? And is the, is the answer arming the schools? That's a fucking terrifying answer. The putting armed guards at schools. Like, I saw a story where someone had held up two signs, which it was like a, a Instagram thing, and so it was... The, the two signs were, which one of these signs would make you feel good if you were like a, a killer? And it shows no weapons, like a no weapon sign, and then it also shows a sign with an armed guard saying that the staff is, uh, armed and trained. And, you know, you're looking at the two of those and you're like, "Oh, God, dammit, I don't want either one of these fucking things."
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
I, I, I definitely don't want weapons in schools, but I don't want them to need weapons in schools. That's why I don't want it there.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
But when they... You know, when scenes like this happen, you have to go, well, how... Is there a way? I don't know. I don't know what the way is, other than- Even if you take people's guns away, goddamn, you're, you're not gonna get all of them. There's too many of them. The number of guns that people have today, I, I think it outnumbers humans. I think the number of guns, like total in this country, outnumber humans.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Insanity.
- JRJoe Rogan
W- even if you are for guns, when the number of things that can kill us outnumber us- (laughs) What? Are we overreacting? Are we crazy? Are we stockpiling for some fucking terrible collapse that we're all afraid of?
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Is that just our thing because we're like, uh, we were like the last country or whatever, you think? Is it like-
- JRJoe Rogan
I don't know.
- THTony Hinchcliffe

Athletic freaks and MMA wrestling dominance: Schultz vs. Goodrich to Jordan Burroughs and Yoel Romero
- JRJoe Rogan
He fought Gatt- uh, Big Daddy G- uh, Big Daddy Goodrich, uh, in, uh, the UFC way back in the day. It was his one and only, uh, MMA fight in the UFC. And it's really interesting because in the movie that they did with Steve Carell, like that's a historical moment. See, they don't understand MMA, so when they made that movie, the cage fighting part was like, "Yeah, whatever, we'll just fucking fudge this." Like, how do I... Why would I believe that anything in that movie is what really happened when the thing that I know for sure really happened, you fucked up?
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
The thing that I know for sure really happened is this guy, Big Daddy Goodrich-
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Wow.
- JRJoe Rogan
... fought Schultz when Schultz was a top of the food chain wrestler, man, and he just took him down at will. He, he handled him at will.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
He took Schultz down?
- JRJoe Rogan
No, no. Oh, no, no.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Schultz, right?
- JRJoe Rogan
No, no, no, no, no, no. There'll be none of that.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
There'll be none 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.
