    1. NA

      (drum roll) Joe Rogan podcast, check it out.

    2. NA

      The Joe Rogan Experience.

    3. JR

      Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day. (rock music) Hello, Cameron Hanes. Oh, God. I'm- I'm nervous. Dude, this is the launch day. Gah, shut the fuck up. I'm nervous. Drink day. How can you be nervous? You run thousands of miles-

    4. NA

      (laughs)

    5. JR

      ... and you're a psycho. Um, this is the collaboration that we did, uh, with Kill Cliff. It's out today. It's, uh, a spicy cherry. What's it called? It's called Elk Blood. Elk Blood. (laughs) (can pops) The other one's- How sick is that? Cheers, sir. Thank you. You too. How sick- Mm. ... is that Elk Blood? Oh, it's good too. We went over like, man, how many iterations did we go over? About 20. There's... Yeah, there was a shitload. We kept tweaking it and, you know, it's just like- it's kinda the same thing that we did with the Flaming Joe. You gotta get it right. Takes a long time, but those guys, whatever they're doing, that f- whatever fucking alchemy they're doing- Yeah. ... to make this stuff so delicious. Yeah, this is good. This is really good. And I just- Yeah. ... love that it's... Well, first it says, "Cam Hanes and Joe Rogan Elk Blood." (laughs) And it's- How sick is that? ... CBD, so it's got- Yeah. ... 25 milligrams of CBD, and we're gonna do an Ignite version as well that has- No sugar? ... yeah, no sugar. It's got caffeine. How much caffeine does it have?

    6. NA

      125.

    7. JR

      125. Yeah. That ain't shit, bro. We've been drinking those- It's like a cup of coffee. ... Black Rifle coffees. (laughs) Those Black Rifle coffees will ruin you. They're so good. Have you had them? They're good. You want one of them? They're... I love them. We'll bust them out too. Lot of sugar. Ooh, there's so much sugar. Yeah, that's like- That's cheating. I- I... I know. I was drinking that and I was like, "Holy shit, this thing is so good." (laughs) And then I was like, "What- what is going on here?" Then I look and I'm like, "Oh, that's why." Is... How many milligrams does it have of sugar?

    8. NA

      I don't know.

    9. JR

      Go- go gl-... Well, you just go grab a few for us. Infinity. I loved them. I loved them. I'm gonna drink one right now. I'm gonna be- They- they-

    10. NA

      (laughs)

    11. JR

      ... a good boy. They are so good. I mean, if you're not hung up on sugar like I am... I'm hung up on it too. Yeah. I... You should be. You really should be. But it's- it's a j-... it's a wonderful treat occasionally. It is. Yeah, if you reward yourself. Yeah. Yeah. So if you... Say, if you run a 100 miler- Right. (laughs) ... I'm like, "I can have it. I can have a good Black Rifle coffee, uh, ready to drink with some sugar." Well, you know Floyd Mayweather drinks Coca-Cola or Pepsi, I forget which one, but he drinks it like... Uh, he just drinks soda essentially right after he works out sometimes. And, uh, I talked to a nutritionist and he said, "Actually, like post-rigorous exercise like that-" Mm-hmm. "... it's actually a pretty effective way of dumping glucose back into your body." Sounds gross. Yeah. You dr-... Y- y- you know, you work out, you're the best boxer of all time, (laughs) you know, and you're fucking... Thank you. These are the... not the 300s though.

    12. NA

      You just... I thought that's what you want, one of these? Yes. For those... Who wants the other camera? This is the real bad boy. I- I better have one too. But, yeah, no. Yeah, these are... But these are fucking awesome too, man. These have too much sugar as well. (laughs) No, I know because- They definitely all have too much sugar. Dan the Fitness Man came and trained with me one time, you know, Elk Shape? Yeah. Dan Satan? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he gave- I love his podcast. Oh. He's got great YouTube videos too. He is good. I mean, he's just like- Seems like a great guy. ... he's a legit... He's just a elk hunter. Yeah. You know what I mean? And just a good guy who works his ass off. Yeah, seems like it. Doesn't talk shit about me. Seems like a real good guy. That makes me like him. That's a nice thing. (laughs) But- A lot of people talk shit about you, Cam Hanes. I know. But he gave me one of these and that's where I was like, "Wait a second. I got a little..." Why is this so good? (laughs) It's too good. (laughs) It's too good. But- What is the milligrams of sugar? I don't know. You can read this. I can't read this with a light this dim. Where, where is it? Um... Does it say 16? 18. Total sugars, 18 grams. 18, yeah. That's like- That's a lot. That's like- That's a lot. That's actually not too bad. Well, it's not compared to apple juice. I thought it was more. Do you know how much fucking apple juice has in it? Total sugars- My daughter- Yeah, this is- ... pointed this out to me. This has tw-... this says 28. What do you da-... What's the matter? You guys have bad eyes.

    13. JR

      It doesn't say 18? This- this is... That says 28. It says 18, right?

    14. NA

      He's putting on his light though just to make sure.

    15. JR

      (laughs) Oh, he has good eyes.

    16. NA

      Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, this says 18. He-... No, he has crazy vision, dude. Yeah. He can see weird shit. Like, I dropped my phone once when we were at Tejon Ranch. I dropped it on the ground and he saw it cracked. I go, "Where?" (laughs) And he's like, "In the middle." I'm like, "No way. Really?" And I'm like fucking doing this... He's like saw it from... He... I was holding it over here and he saw it. Yeah, but you're three months older than me. Yeah, I am older. So in three months- But my- my eyes are not as good. ... in three months, I'll- I'll be where you are. No, no, no, no. You have weird vision. (laughs)

  2. 4:216:28

    Cameron’s unusually sharp vision and running at night without a light

    1. JR

      You really do. Hmm. Like your vision is extraordinary, and I always wonder, I wonder if that's from so much time in the mountains. Because one of the things they say that's fucking with people's eyes is we're constantly looking at short distances, and it's sort of distorting- Mm-hmm. ... our eyes because of that. And, uh, that's why Andrew Huberman recommends looking at great distances for like a good period of the day. Like it's- it's actually a good thing to do for your eyes. Hmm. Well, you know, what I- what I've a- always done still, but I used to... I've talked about it a few times, but I will run at night and I never wear a light. Hmm. Like I'll run on Pisgah, the mountain I run, and never have a headlight. Bro, are you trying to get eaten? What are you doing? No... Well, I'm not worried about that, but- Don't people get eaten up there? ... in my head, no. But in my- Come on. And- and- Didn't someone- Didn't someone- In Pisgah? ... in Oregon recently get eaten? I don't think so. Not that I know of. Was it... There was- there was two people last year that got- got got in the Pacific Northwest. In Elbur-... In Alberta, uh, a woman was killed by a black bear last year. Yeah. I heard about that one. But wasn't there a couple of people that were killed by mountain lions last year?

    2. NA

      I gotta... 2018, hiker, broken neck puncture wounds by cougar.

    3. JR

      (laughs) Broken neck from a cougar. You imagine that motherfucker grabbing your neck? Speaking of my neck, look at this. What's going on? Look at this bling. Look at the bling. (laughs) You get to see each bling. I wore this bling. I've only had this on... This is the second time. Oh my God. Are you hanging out with rappers? (laughs) I know. What's going on? I'm like, "I'm celebrating my JRE, uh, uh- (laughs) ... appearance. But, uh... So that was- that was the whole reason why I wore it, just to do that right there. That's adorable. Scooby D. Jeweler-

    4. NA

      (laughs)

    5. JR

      ... made that for me and he hand-delivered it. That's amazing. Yeah. That's amazing. Um... Well, that's when you can wear bling, when someone gives it to you. What I was gonna say was- It's cool. ... so I-... If you went out and bought that for yourself, it's a little questionable. (laughs) ... right? Unless you're, like, uh, a Machine Gun Kelly-type person.

    6. CH

      (laughs)

    7. JR

      A very flamboyant-

    8. CH

      But I haven't.

    9. JR

      ... like a rapper or some rock star.

    10. CH

      You sh- you might get one and rock it hard.

    11. JR

      (sighs) I can't.

    12. CH

      No, my vision, my vision-

    13. JR

      I wear old man shoes. People make fun of my shoes.

    14. CH

      And every so often, you break out your-

    15. JR

      I know. You should be wearing these fuckers. But, hey-

    16. CH

      I would, I would wear those.

    17. JR

      But listen. So my vision is the bling with a, a bear skin jacket. Mm. I like it.

    18. CH

      That, that-

    Bear hunting, bear pepperoni, and making wild game taste incredible

    1. JR

      A bear that you killed?

    2. CH

      Yeah.

    3. JR

      Yeah.

    4. CH

      Yeah.

    5. JR

      Yeah, everybody's got to shut the fuck up if you actually killed a bear.

    6. CH

      Yeah. Right?

    7. JR

      I ate him too. We ate his pepperoni.

    8. CH

      Right. Dude.

    9. JR

      We're eating bear pepperoni. It's delicious. It's very, very good.

    10. CH

      So good. So good.

    11. JR

      Shout-out to, uh, whoever processed that for you, whatever butcher did that for you.

    12. CH

      Mm. This is in Cottage Grove, Oregon and, uh, Gates.

    13. JR

      Yeah.

    14. CH

      Gates Family Tradition Meats.

    15. JR

      There's a bunch of those folks out there that are, uh ... It's like they're the unsung heroes of the wild game world.

    16. CH

      That is so good.

    17. JR

      Yeah.

    18. CH

      And that's bear.

    19. JR

      Oh, yeah.

    20. CH

      And people are like, "Oh, you can eat bear?"

    21. JR

      Summer sausage. I've had bear summer sausage. It was delicious.

    22. CH

      He-

    23. JR

      You know who's the best for, uh, talking about all this stuff? 'Cause, uh, you know, y- you know Jesse Griffiths? The guy who's the, the chef of, uh, Dai Due?

    24. CH

      Mm-mm.

    25. JR

      It's a restaurant here in Austin, and I actually heard him on Steve's podcast, uh, Rinella's, The Meat Eater podcast, before, um, I met him. So I'd heard him there, and then I had him on as a guest. Fucking super interesting guy.

    26. CH

      Mm-hmm.

    27. JR

      But he's the best at taking wild game and making it insanely delicious.

    28. CH

      Mm.

    29. JR

      He's just such ... 'Cause he's a, an excellent chef, and he loves food and he loves hunting.

    30. CH

      Yeah.

  4. 11:5423:13

    Predators in reality: bear attacks, “surplus killing,” and Disney narratives

    1. JR

      ... than what anybody experiences. And what ... You know, when people get rushed by bear ... I, I don't know if you've seen the video of these guys that are on a dirt bike.

    2. CH

      Mm-hmm.

    3. JR

      And, uh, this guy wipes out in front of a bear's den.

    4. CH

      Oh, yeah, den. I saw that.

    5. JR

      Oh.

    6. CH

      That thing comes boiling out of there.

    7. JR

      Oh.

    8. CH

      ... intense.

    9. JR

      Oh, my God. Pull that up, Jamie.

    10. CH

      (laughs)

    11. NA

      (laughs)

    12. JR

      We have to see it 'cause it's so scary.

    13. CH

      Do we-

    14. JR

      They're, they're so scary.

    15. CH

      Do we have a Pull It Up Jamie shirt?

    16. JR

      I think Jamie has one.

    17. CH

      Oh, good.

    18. NA

      Yeah.

    19. JR

      Jamie, you have Pull It Up Jamie shirts, right?

    20. NA

      I think so.

    21. JR

      Is it on Jamie r- is it on pullij- pullupjamie.com?

    22. NA

      No way.

    23. JR

      Youngjamie.com?

    24. NA

      It should have been on that, but it isn't.

    25. JR

      It should be on pullitupjamie.com, these fucking scoundrels.

    26. NA

      There's a link on that website.

    27. JR

      Oh, thanks, Eric.

    28. NA

      (laughs)

    29. NA

    Animal instincts at home: cats, dogs, squirrels, and turtle chaos

    1. CH

      They play with 'em. You know what's weird? It's like, so Marshall.

    2. JR

      Yeah.

    3. CH

      You just... You see dogs, they see a squirrel outside, they're automatically in hunt mode. I don't know if... Is Marshall?

    4. JR

      Oh, dude. He killed two last week.

    5. CH

      Right.

    6. JR

      He's been on a rampage. So now it's fucked up because-

    7. CH

      And the nicest, fluffiest, sweetest dog.

    8. JR

      Oh. Oh.

    9. CH

      Yeah.

    10. JR

      A bundle of love.

    11. CH

      (laughs)

    12. JR

      He's all love, but he wants to fuck up squirrels and, uh, also turtles, so we have to keep... Protect the turtles from him now. So, now I have to wander around my fucking yard looking for turtles.

    13. CH

      He kills 'em?

    14. JR

      He kills 'em.

    15. CH

      Hmm.

    16. JR

      Yeah, he fucked one of his teeth up g- biting the shit out of this turtle shell. I'm like, "Bro." Like, "What are you doing?"

    17. CH

      So, does he-

    18. JR

      So good-... Where... Well, who's... Where's the real Marshall? Where's my buddy?

    19. CH

      (laughs) Does he try to get their... 'Cause they-

    20. JR

      He's trying to kill 'em.

    21. CH

      They go in.

    22. JR

      Yeah.

    23. CH

      Does he just crush a whole shell?

    24. JR

      He's trying to fucking chew at 'em while they're in there.

    25. CH

      Man, Marshall.

    26. JR

      Yeah, it's horrible.

    27. CH

      Yeah.

    28. JR

      It was horrible. He's done it to a couple of 'em now.

    29. CH

      Yeah.

    30. JR

      So now when we go outside, we have to look for turtles first.

  6. 25:3632:23

    Snapping turtles and venomous snakes: fear, beauty, and bad identification rules

    1. JR

      Let me tell you something. Whoa, look at the size of that thing.

    2. CH

      See, that would kill-

    3. JR

      That's a snapping turtle? It looks like Yoda.

    4. CH

      That would kill somebody.

    5. JR

      That would, that would bite your fucking hand right off your wrist.

    6. CH

      (laughs) Yeah, it would.

    7. JR

      Snap. Ah. Look at that monster.

    8. CH

      See, that w- that one's scary.

    9. JR

      Look at the scales on that thing.

    10. CH

      Oh, my God. That thing's coming for Marshall.

    11. JR

      That thing doesn't even look like a real thing. Nah, he'd, I don't think they hunt.

    12. CH

      (laughs)

    13. JR

      But my dog's so dumb, he'd probably try to bite it.

    14. CH

      (laughs) .

    15. NA

      He's got an eye.

    16. CH

      Wow.

    17. JR

      Oh, my God, that's its eyeball.

    18. CH

      Look at his nose. His nose looks, like, weird, kind of weird too.

    19. JR

      Bro. That looks like something right out of Doom.

    20. NA

      There are p- pig-nosed turtles ............................

    21. CH

      Yeah.

    22. NA

      ... too.

    23. JR

      (sighs)

    24. CH

      I don't know, but that-

    25. JR

      What is the biggest snapping turtle?

    26. CH

      I, uh-

    27. JR

      Is there ... 'Cause I think there's a few different species. I think there's, isn't there one called an alligator snapping turtle?

    28. NA

      That's the one where I did x- that's the one where I found it.

    29. JR

      (gasps) Look at that thing, it's 70 pounds.

    30. CH

      (laughs)

  7. 32:2349:03

    Jelly Roll, powerful songwriting, and why music hits like shared experience

    1. CH

      I think ... Didn't ... See, here's, here's why I was nervous coming on, because that reminded me of Theo Von said something about, like, Suzanne Somers. That's got ... That got you guys-

    2. JR

      (laughs) What about Suzanne Somers?

    3. CH

      I think of, like, a Golden Retriever running, like, with flowing hair. Didn't ... Wasn't that-

    4. JR

      Oh, right, her hair was like that.

    5. CH

      Yeah, so then that, that got-

    6. JR

      He said something like that. Yeah.

    7. CH

      That got you guys onto Thigh Master. But anyway, so yeah, like Marshall, Suzanne Somers running towards you is what I envisioned.

    8. JR

      Yeah, but trying to eat you.

    9. CH

      Yeah. (laughs)

    10. JR

      Out of your shell. Like, what the fuck?

    11. CH

      Well ... Oh, but the point was I'm pretty nervous because I'm like, "How can ... I can't follow Theo Von, who-"

    12. JR

      Well, there's been a couple people on since Theo, right?

    13. CH

      Yeah.

    14. JR

      So you're all right. Don't worry.

    15. CH

      But ... And then before that-

    16. JR

      Go ahead.

    17. CH

      ... it was Jelly Roll, who-

    18. JR

      Yeah.

    19. CH

      Like, like, I feel like this podcast, your platform, is made for people like Jelly Roll because it's like-

    20. JR

      But you, too. It's made for everybody.

    21. CH

      No. But, like, he's, like-

    22. JR

      How ... I thought you fucking know that's why you're here.

    23. CH

      He's, like, this incredible talent-

    24. JR

      Yeah.

    25. CH

      ... that, like, everybody should know about-

    26. JR

      Right.

    27. CH

      ... but, but hasn't until lately.

    28. JR

      Right.

    29. CH

      And so to me, I'm like, "This is why you created this thing." You know, to, to have people that deserve ... Just have this immense ability and deserve to have a, a spotlight shone on them.

    30. JR

      Yeah, but that's not why I created it. I created it just to do it.

  8. 49:0353:41

    Pop culture detour: Madonna vs. Roseanne, beauty standards, and cosmetic dysmorphia

    1. CH

      So, but I mentioned Madonna's long song.

    2. JR

      Yeah.

    3. CH

      That reminded me of another thought.... did you, could you ever see a time when Madonna was so hot, like she was-

    4. JR

      Right.

    5. CH

      ... to where Roseanne Barr would be hotter than her? Like right now?

    6. NA

      (drum roll)

    7. CH

      Roseanne Barr is way hotter than Madonna.

    8. JR

      (laughs)

    9. CH

      I mean, if you'd have looked at back in the day, Madonna, sex symbol-

    10. JR

      Right.

    11. CH

      ... incredible, and Roseanne. And now-

    12. JR

      Right.

    13. CH

      Right?

    14. JR

      Well, I think-

    15. CH

      'Cause I thought ... Wasn't Roseanne at your club?

    16. JR

      Yeah, she looked wonderful.

    17. CH

      Isn't she ... She looks good.

    18. JR

      She looks lovely. She looks healthy, she's happy-

    19. CH

      She looks great.

    20. JR

      ... she's lost a bunch of weight. Yeah, she's doing standup.

    21. CH

      Yes.

    22. JR

      Loving it.

    23. CH

      Yeah, look at that. No ... Right.

    24. JR

      Something's going on with Madonna. If that picture is accurate.

    25. CH

      No, that is.

    26. JR

      Like, what that is, is like the same thing that leads to anorexia, the same thing that leads to bodybuilders that get just-

    27. CH

      Right.

    28. JR

      ... so massive they don't feel that big.

    29. CH

      Dysmorphia.

    30. JR

      Yeah, it's dysmorphia.

    UFC deep dive: weight cutting, commissions, and fight breakdowns

    1. JR

      They really get down to about five pounds. What does Colby cut? He doesn't cut much.

    2. CH

      No. He's probably 85 down to-

    3. JR

      Yeah.

    4. CH

      ... 170.

    5. JR

      See, he's one of the best at that. I think 85 to 70 is really good.

    6. CH

      Mm-hmm.

    7. JR

      Because that's not that hard for an athlete like that with all that muscle.

    8. CH

      Right.

    9. JR

      You could dry that out pretty easy. But one of them fucking Alex Pereira guys? When you're, you're talking about weighing in at 185 and then walking around at 230 or 220? Colby Covington claims he lost over one stone in just a day to be backup for UFC 286 opponent.

    10. CH

      Mm-hmm.

    11. JR

      But didn't even fight.

    12. CH

      Yeah.

    13. JR

      So one stone is 13 pounds?

    14. NA

      Uh, 18 pounds.

    15. JR

      One stone is 18?

    16. NA

      I think that says.

    17. JR

      Oh. Like, over one stone, so- Oh, over one stone.

    18. NA

      Yeah, he lost 18 pounds.

    19. JR

      18 pounds. 18 pounds in a day.

    20. CH

      He's a company man.

    21. JR

      Yeah.

    22. CH

      He did that.

    23. JR

      Well, he's right there, you know?

    24. CH

      Mm-hmm.

    25. JR

      It's, uh, it's him, and you got Bilal Muhammad. You know, you've got a lot ... Khamzat, ah- uh ... At 170, he's the motherfucker, right?

    26. CH

      Mm-hmm.

    27. JR

      But it's like, can you be assured that he's going to make 170?

    28. CH

      Yeah.

    29. JR

      Or, or here's another possibility. Did the Athletic Commission fuck him?

    30. CH

      Hmm.

    Striking craft: leg kicks, training setups, and “levels” in elite fighting

    1. CH

      Yeah, not good. Yeah. And for Melvin, Melvin has been knocked out a lot.

    2. JR

      Oh, I-

    3. CH

      There's a lot of videos. Joe Schilling knocked him out. There's a, there's a crazy video of Robbie Lawler knocking him out in Strikeforce. The cra- the Robbie Lawler one's amazing 'cause Robbie is getting fucked up. In that fight, look at this.

    4. JR

      Oh.

    5. NA

      He's out.

    6. CH

      Boom.

    7. JR

      Out.

    8. CH

      Boom, he's out. And he-

    9. JR

      Ooh, stop that.

    10. CH

      ... gets him in the neck with... And then get someone... another one.

    11. JR

      Yeah, so-

    12. CH

      Yoel Romero. But see... Pull up, uh, Robbie Lawler versus Melvin Manhoef. So this was when Melvin was in his prime. Everybody was terrified of him.

    13. JR

      Oh, he used to be a monster.

    14. CH

      A monster.

    15. JR

      He was one of the best kickboxers to ever fight in MMA, and one of the most explosive kickboxers of all time. I mean, he was so good-

    16. CH

      Hmm.

    17. JR

      ... and so dangerous. And this is after he had already fought in Pride. This is after, you know, he had had some crazy fights overseas in Japan.

    18. NA

      Now, Robbie Lawler's body. Three minutes now gone into this round. Manhoef looking to-

    19. CH

      Oh, God.

    20. JR

      See, he's, he's teeing off on Robbie.

    21. CH

      Mm-hmm. Those body shots must be terrible.

    22. NA

      ... going to tee off with power. Very impressed with Manhoef's patient heart.

    23. CH

      Ooh.

    24. JR

      Look at this. Look how hard he's getting kicked in his legs, man.

    25. CH

      I know.

    26. JR

      I mean, he's just getting lit up.

    27. NA

      He's going to have to stick more...

    28. CH

      Yeah. Robbie's-

    29. JR

      So it looks terrible for him, right?

    30. CH

      It does, yeah.
