(humming) Hey, Santino. (laughing)…

Good to see you, brother. How are you?
- JRJoe Rogan
Good, man. Um, the charcoal, it's you.
- ASAndrew Santino
That's me.
- JRJoe Rogan
I sent, I sent Santino a picture. I'll send it to you, Jamie.
- JVJamie Vernon
I saw it.
- JRJoe Rogan
You seen it? (laughs)
- ASAndrew Santino
So fucking funny. I want residuals on that shit.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- ASAndrew Santino
What is it called? Lucky dev- or...
- JRJoe Rogan
Bro, it's you.
- ASAndrew Santino
(laughs) It's me. What's it called?
- JRJoe Rogan
It's you with a steak.
- ASAndrew Santino
Devil something.
- JRJoe Rogan
Something.
- ASAndrew Santino
I put it up online, I was like, "This is so fucking funny." This is me with my own charcoal company called, uh ...
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- ASAndrew Santino
I you're in the market for some charcoal, man. Oh, Jealous Devil, that's what it is.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs) See?
- ASAndrew Santino
(laughs) That's so me.
- JRJoe Rogan
With that beard.
- ASAndrew Santino
Fucking steak down there with a, with a knife. Jealous Devil.
- JRJoe Rogan
Bar- barbecue is the only truly manly way of cooking.
- ASAndrew Santino
Yes.
- JRJoe Rogan
Like, nobody brags about having a baker's hat on.
- ASAndrew Santino
Yeah, there, there it is.
- JRJoe Rogan
Right? There it is.
- ASAndrew Santino
(laughs) Jealous Devil.
- JRJoe Rogan
Just Jealous Devil. All natural hardwood.
- ASAndrew Santino
Hardwood.
- 15:00 – 30:00
Right. (laughs) …
- JRJoe Rogan
very intelligent. So either he's running the greatest 30-year con of all time-
- ASAndrew Santino
Right. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
... or maybe this really did happen. When you talk to him, so you're just guessing. You don't know.
- ASAndrew Santino
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
I don't know his life. I don't know his real life. Right? I'm just guessing. But he seems like a guy who's seen some shit and, and just didn't know what to do and told some friends about it and then, then went to the news. And that's what that George Knapp guy, who was the investigative journalist that studied this case, over all the years, like, this guy's never wavered. And-
- ASAndrew Santino
Like, he stuck with the story over and over.
- JRJoe Rogan
And, and things have shown to be true that they said were science fiction. Like the, um, there was this equipment that they had at Los Alamos labs that he talked about, where it was this, uh, thing that measured the distance, or the size rather of the digits in your finger. Apparently it's like a great, like your fingers, the, the inches are specific. And so like if you put your hand down on that thing-
- ASAndrew Santino
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
... and then Jamie's hand, it would give a different measurement. Like, there's different, each bone is a different length and i- the exact length is a v- like v- like 1.7 whatever the fuck it is. You know, 1.7 inches.
- ASAndrew Santino
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
Like, whatever mea- measurement te- tool they use. It was d- d- he was calculating the length of your fingers through some kind of buggy system that he said didn't really work that often.
- ASAndrew Santino
Fuck.
- JRJoe Rogan
But people said that's science fiction, it doesn't exist. And then they finally got photos of these things and people that worked at Los Alamos labs concluded, or, or they, uh, conceded that these were a real thing, I guess.
- ASAndrew Santino
But for a long time they were fighting it being like, "That's not real."
- JRJoe Rogan
They were, pe- some people that didn't know were saying he made that stuff up. It doesn't exist.
- ASAndrew Santino
And then sure enough.
- JRJoe Rogan
But it sh- it showed it does exist and it did exist right there where he worked. He even took them on a tour through the labs. Like, he knew where everything was. He used to work there. So he, when they went there with the documentary crew, with Jeremy Corbell, they just walked them through. He showed where he worked.
- ASAndrew Santino
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
He walked right in there.
- ASAndrew Santino
That's so fucked up. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Maybe, look, maybe the guy's running the craziest con game of all time-
- ASAndrew Santino
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... and he's just a super genius and way smarter than me and he tricked me and he thinks it's hilarious.
- ASAndrew Santino
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Or maybe he saw some shit. What he was explaining that made it more and more interesting was how compartmentalized it was, and a- about how the problem with being so compartmentalized is that science is, it's based on free exchange of information.
- ASAndrew Santino
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
You, you have to have guys who are testing all these different things and working on them together. That's the only way you can do-
- ASAndrew Santino
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
So, so he's limited to a couple of guys that are working on the propulsion system, and then there's a couple other guys that are working on the metallurgy, and a couple of other guys that are working on the navigation system. And they chose him because he was kind of a maniac and he put a fucking jet engine in the back of a Honda.
- ASAndrew Santino
(laughs)
- 30:00 – 45:00
Cheers. …
- ASAndrew Santino
the hype of... Because of the growth of, growth of MMA... Cheers.
- JRJoe Rogan
Cheers.
- ASAndrew Santino
Cheers, my brother. Because of the growth of MMA, CrossFit, all of these n- all these new worlds that have kind of emerged socially now, that are so much bigger than they were years ago, nerds from- that I grew up with in high school-
- JRJoe Rogan
Are now into workouts.
- ASAndrew Santino
... are into working out.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yes.
- ASAndrew Santino
Yeah, that's the irony.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's a big thing with jujitsu.
- ASAndrew Santino
That's what I'm saying. Is like the biggest-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yes.
- ASAndrew Santino
... like insecure people, now they found a home-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- ASAndrew Santino
... in something that's disciplined.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's good... It feels good to move your body. It feels good. It feels good to do things, whether it's-... taking a dance class. I'm not into that, but taking-
- ASAndrew Santino
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
... karate.
- ASAndrew Santino
I'm not into that shit.
- JRJoe Rogan
You know, d- d- I like yoga, I like running-
- ASAndrew Santino
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... I like j- doing jujitsu, obviously. I like all k- I like all kinds of martial arts. And, but, I just like moving my body, man.
- ASAndrew Santino
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
I like running up hills. You move your body.
- ASAndrew Santino
Same.
- JRJoe Rogan
Get it going. You'll feel better afterwards. I know you don't-
- ASAndrew Santino
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... wanna do it. I never w- I fucking hardly ever wanna do it. If m- I maybe wanna d- wanna actually do it five outta 10 times. But I do it.
- ASAndrew Santino
May- maybe less, yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
But I do it. I just do it. I know what it's like to not wanna do it. I get it. Shut up. I just start talking to myself. I go, "Come on, pussy, what are you talking about?"
- ASAndrew Santino
Do it.
- JRJoe Rogan
If I was you, outside of you, knowing what I know, if I could read my mind, I'd be like, "Come on, bitch. You're just being lazy. Put your fucking shoes on."
- 45:00 – 1:00:00
What, but what an…
- ASAndrew Santino
almost, right?
- JRJoe Rogan
What, but what an amazing animal, man. Just-
- ASAndrew Santino
Unbelievable.
- JRJoe Rogan
Imagine that thing lives in this place where there's no vegetables at all.
- ASAndrew Santino
Nope.
- JRJoe Rogan
But it got so big. It evolved to get that big.
- ASAndrew Santino
Meat, dude. Just meat.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's-
- ASAndrew Santino
Tons and tons and tons of meat.
- JRJoe Rogan
And it can eat a fucking, uh, like a hole through ice to get to you too.
- ASAndrew Santino
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
It'll just chew through the ice.
- GCGuest (unidentified, minor contributor)

Th- They're, they're, they're qu-... It's, it's so nice that they're so far away.
- JRJoe Rogan
They swim. You know, they jump in the water and swim.
- GCGuest (unidentified, minor contributor)
Yeah, they can swim six miles an hour.
- JRJoe Rogan
Bro.
- ASAndrew Santino
And for how long can they swim? I wonder how long they can stay in the water for, 'cause they have to get out at some point.
- JRJoe Rogan
How fast is that in knots, and why do we need knots?
- GCGuest (unidentified, minor contributor)
(laughs)
- ASAndrew Santino
Like, boat, boat people love that shit.
- JRJoe Rogan
What's up with boat people? "Hey, it's six fathoms." "Hey, fuck face."
