EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, featuring Narrator and Narrator, Joe Rogan Experience #2020 - Python Cowboy explores python Cowboy battles invasive predators, bureaucracy, and Florida’s dying Everglades Joe Rogan interviews "Python Cowboy" Mike, a Florida hunter and conservationist who removes invasive pythons and iguanas while advocating for better Everglades management. They detail how Burmese pythons, cane toads, iguanas, and other exotics are devastating native wildlife and infrastructure, and how regulations often block effective control efforts. Mike recounts near‑fatal encounters with giant pythons, his use of highly trained dogs to find underground nests, and a suspected history of intentional exotic releases for profit. The conversation widens into water mismanagement, Everglades politics, occult encounters in abandoned facilities, and broader worries about human tinkering with ecosystems, from genetically modified mosquitoes to uncontrolled development.
