00:06:52.720it's all about where did that come from because i i did hear that and i was i was gonna you know
00:06:57.440my i'm buddies with rogan so i didn't know if he knew he was not at the top anymore i think the
00:07:02.820easiest way to explain it is just like a mixture of both uh algorithmic science and also just like
00:07:07.700high-end data and so um you know you'll see numbers about rogan and other people but at the
00:07:12.720end of the day i mean we've done the research and so yeah oh so it's it's yeah it's proprietary i
00:07:18.020can't really we can't really divulge a lot of that yeah that's a hell of a title though yeah i mean
00:07:22.340thanks congratulations thank you so much congratulations to the fans for for bringing
00:07:25.860us here it's it's really honestly incredible um and you are tight with rogan yeah you're like
00:07:30.320really tight didn't you take him on his first uh bow hunt yeah yep we did and what was that like
00:07:36.240it was just like this it was um he you know i think he sent out a tweet and he said hey
00:07:42.400you know to me are you ever in la you want to come in and talk about training and bow hunting
00:07:47.660and i'm like yeah let's do that i mean it's joe rogan right i mean he's the legend of course and
00:07:53.680so i went there and and much like today i brought i took him a hoy bow same brand i shoot and got
00:07:59.760him set up just like i did you today and uh you know from then on we started talking i'm like hey
00:08:05.780you you know you he'd hunted before just a couple times with a rifle and i'm like would you be
00:08:11.400interested in going on a bow hunt for bear and he was like yeah hell yeah let's do it so how long
00:08:16.900ago was that? That was probably four or five years ago. Yeah. So that was his first bow hunt was bear
00:08:23.260up in Alberta. And when you say bow, you mean a crossbow, is it a crossbow? No, compound. Compound
00:08:28.580bow. Okay, cool. Can you explain? Yeah. You pull the bow back and then you release the string,
00:08:33.300you know, crossbow. I've never even actually shot a crossbow. I know. Never? No, never. I know you
00:08:38.280have. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Well, that's why this is also interesting because, um, you know, my dad
00:08:42.780being from ohio man's man himself me also i still have that side of me that i hold very near and
00:08:47.540dear to my heart everybody's got it in there it's deep in there some it's deeper than others but
00:08:52.040it's in there for you should have seen the month when this kid went vegan it was like watching just
00:08:56.260like a fish out of water dude he hated every second of it man no our vegan friend isn't here
00:09:01.400normally we have uh spencer we're still missing you spencer but uh suspense uh yeah man he died
00:09:07.100probably right because of vegan we don't know the cameraman's vegan too i don't know what second
00:09:12.320he's gonna fall over he can keel over at any second dude hey if you need to catch you might
00:09:17.020have to catch him so sorry so sorry andre doesn't think it's funny you know he's a good sport um
00:09:24.940but yeah i grew up hunting um my dad introduced me to the world of hunting and um i actually did
00:09:33.260drop a a doe with a a crossbow okay when i was like uh i think 10 yeah um and it's gonna be
00:09:40.080very interesting to see what kind of response that gets because i i've mentioned i've grown
00:09:45.380up hunting before never mentioned what that meant what that meant yeah i mean man especially now
00:09:51.860with social media and everyone has a voice and these uh the people on the left especially i
00:09:57.820find liberals are they're very vocal about about hunting um and not to jump around too much no no
00:10:04.720But, you know, the thing is, is 97% of Americans eat meat, you know, to me as a hunter, it's like, at least we're honest about the meat we're eating.
00:10:13.520We're like, hey, an animal died for this.
00:10:15.240Some people, they'll go and they get steaks and burgers or whatever, and they don't want to accept the fact that an animal actually died.
00:10:20.940Whereas hunters are like, hey, yeah, I can, I'm going to doing this.
00:45:29.260I think people should be able to protect themselves.
00:45:30.980Yeah. I mean, if you're going to have a gun, know how to use it.
00:45:33.960That's the biggest thing. And so you get your concealed carry license.
00:45:37.880You're, you're learning the ins and outs of the gun, how to handle it safely,
00:45:41.280you know, aside from taking on the responsibility of your own.
00:45:45.720And some people have guns and they don't really even know how they work,
00:45:49.440you know? And so that's, that's not a good answer either.
00:45:52.340yeah i find um solace sort of in people who have concealed carry permits um knowing that say i'm in
00:46:05.380uh a new place or whatever just exploring at the mall or whatever yeah again god forbid right
00:46:11.380there's some sort of mass shooting incident um i feel some solace in knowing there may be a hunter
00:46:19.800in the room or someone who has some experience with firearms to combat the bad guy yeah i mean
00:46:25.280it's interesting because you don't you don't hunt with rifles no can you imagine you were getting0.99
00:46:29.680targeted at the mall by some guy with like a ar-15 and he comes out with a fucking compound0.98
00:46:34.360bow and just goes through his fucking head be a legend that'd be a legend that'd be tough but0.99
00:46:39.420yeah i mean i i get what you're saying it's like and you know there's that old adage that0.99
00:46:44.080a bad guy with a gun is only stopped by a good guy with a gun and in some cases that's true
00:46:49.740I mean, and that, that does happen. And, uh, it's just, it's just sucks that we have to worry about
00:46:54.960it. You know, that, that people are that evil. That's the big, that's the bigger problem. Yeah.0.97
00:46:59.520That I just, and you know, we talk about the mental health thing and I get, and I don't know
00:47:04.680if you do too. I mean, your social media is huge, but, um, there are people out there that are
00:47:09.660struggling and they don't know how to get help. They don't know where to get help. They ask me,
00:47:14.580you know, they're contemplating suicide or there's things they're going through. And I don't know,
00:47:19.120I'm a bow hunter. So I've had to go and do research and say, if somebody is reaching out
00:47:24.120to me for help, what can I tell them that's going to help? Just because I was getting so many of
00:47:28.420them. So that's, that's, that's, uh, I mean, it's indicate, um, indicative of what's going on out
00:47:34.920there before struggling. Have you been able, like I can relate completely and his is, he's not even
00:47:40.520able to like open up DMs because they refresh every second. Like it's a whole nother world.
00:47:45.060But for me, I do read my messages and there's a lot of people in there struggling with mental health or addiction or whatever it is.
00:47:51.520And it's almost like I could I when I was not on the show and before like any kind of social media, when people would reach out directly, friends of mine say I'm having a hard time, I put my all into it.
00:48:02.420Yeah. But can you imagine trying to have that one on one conversation with 50 people that we wouldn't have the show?
00:48:07.620Nothing would happen. And so I know I'm I'm very nervous and scared for the future.
00:48:13.580uh gen z specifically uh they did this study and kids are now basing their self-worth at a young
00:48:22.520age like how much you value yourself yeah on likes and comments yeah i know i've seen that
00:48:28.380can you imagine being a third grader fifth grader and you value how much you love yourself
00:48:36.120based on what other people think of you yeah could be one of the most dangerous things i
00:48:42.360think that's happening i think so too country i think it's or in the world it's sad but it's like
00:48:47.040and so that's just you know there's always challenges there's there's things that come
00:48:50.880up with different generations right now that's a big one um and so i i think you know i i put up
00:48:58.280occasionally if people are contemplating suicide here's the suicide helpline as like a blanket
00:49:03.340story yeah i love that and so i mean i think you know as as you're a leader you know you're a
00:49:12.360maybe do that too at times so i mean we had the whole thing with japan and we tried to uh not
00:49:17.420tried to we succeeded in creating this is a controversial that i mean that's that's one of
00:49:21.920them yeah but but i mean i i feel we did a a great job at combating it the best we could by creating
00:49:30.340the suicide psa that we made that yeah i met one of my great friends to this day kevin hines where
00:49:37.220um again i text this dude every single day he's and he's out there spreading his message about um
00:49:43.380anti-suicide and uh he's making the change like he's literally making the change we profiled him
00:49:50.040and we we kick-started what he is is going to do and and and create serious change about kids
00:49:55.980believing in themselves but um that's how old are you 23 yeah i mean it's i mean it's pressure for
00:50:02.760you too to have that type of responsibility i think responsibility it's just because i'm thinking
00:50:07.540when i was 23 i couldn't i couldn't sit here and do this i mean so you you have my respect yeah
00:50:13.380people make mistakes and people judge others on these mistakes and i i didn't see what caused the
00:50:18.780big controversy the first time but i saw your apology to it and i thought to myself i'm like
00:50:24.080you know i don't people look at you and envy you and envy what you have but it it's not always
00:50:32.200sunshine and rainbows you know what i mean and so i you're right you have my respect thank you
00:50:37.260with uh just being insightful and trying to do the best you can do i know it's not easy
00:50:41.720the biggest thing that we can do and i come back to this time and time again is just keep creating
00:50:46.860amazing uh content with amazing energy and provide a smile on people's face if i can if i can do that
00:50:53.860i've won right i've won um if i can distract people from their day just slightly that so is
00:51:00.700So that's, that's the goal. That's the goal. That's always been, that's one of the goals.
00:51:05.120Yeah. And now it's starting to evolve to, to actual impact, which, which I think people were,
00:51:09.880we haven't talked about it at all yet, but I think people will start to see over the next
00:51:12.740three to six months where we're, where we're finding these, these either individuals or
00:51:17.840groups that need awareness and assistance. And I think we're going to start moving into that arena
00:51:21.580more, but he did a great job with the suicide awareness PSA. And to his point, there's probably
00:51:28.300small blankets we could put out that that could just kind of address a lot of those messages
00:51:32.240because there's so many people struggling out there yeah i'm kind of i'm kind of just talking
00:51:36.340out loud just to say it uh but i think one of the big one of the mistakes i made with the suicide be
00:51:43.720here tomorrow video was that i tried to act a little bit more uh like an expert than i should
00:51:50.520have right i sort of took the reins on i don't know if you saw but i i sort of took the reins on
00:51:55.360um an issue that i was still very much ignorant to yeah i hate that word ignorant i think i think
00:52:01.720it's just more just like undereducated it's yeah well it's they're synonymous but you're right0.94
00:52:06.060it just has the wrong connotation yeah because society's made ignorant like yeah ignorant doesn't0.85
00:52:13.520always have to be a bad thing or on purpose like like i am let's see i'm ignorant to um astrophysics0.98
00:52:20.960yeah it doesn't mean i'm fucking stupid i just have not studied space physics i can kind of0.67
00:52:25.800relate to what you're saying uh because i've been involved in politics not kind of by proxy a little0.70
00:52:32.160bit and then i i got selected for this uh um this international wildlife conservation council so i'm
00:52:38.700back there with these politicians that's not my world i'm i'm back there trying to make a difference1.00
00:52:43.540trying to do what i can't and people are going you're a fucking idiot you fell for that and i'm1.00
00:52:48.340like i did i fell for what i didn't even know what i fell for so but the point was was i'm trying i'm1.00
00:52:55.220trying to do something positive i have a voice i'm trying to use my voice not just for running
00:53:00.500and working out and bow hunting but like hey maybe this can have a longer lasting effect on
00:53:04.760on decisions we make it and so i'm trying some people see that as i'm failing because i don't
00:53:10.660know the ins and outs of politics that that's kind of where you you were trying to do something good
00:53:16.340it was a perfect do you know everything about it no but you're you're trying to move the needle in
00:53:21.960the right direction exactly exactly that's all you can do man and that's and i'm and i'm glad
00:53:26.180to hear that you're doing that i think a lot of the change that people are looking forward to
00:53:30.020happen in your world starts via legislation um let's do something fun huh i was just thinking
00:53:36.900that i wanted to also ask him about his workout dude how old are you now if you don't mind saying
00:53:42.14051 well i used to say that i'm 10 years younger than i was just because it sounded better yeah
00:53:47.580but then but then 41 is still old so i'm like you got too old to be old maybe i need to take 20 off
00:53:53.900you're preaching i'll say 31 you're preaching to the choir i'm 34 and in youtube years that's like0.94
00:53:58.280wheel me around in a fucking wheelchair it's crazy i was listening to one of the podcasts the other0.91
00:54:02.680day and i didn't know who was who because i'm kind of getting up to speed on it and i'm like0.99
00:54:07.000i thought you were saying you were 34 i was like oh shit he's not a kid you probably thought that0.94
00:54:13.380because i was fucking taking over the podcast which i sometimes do and you're talking about0.97
00:54:18.580i think spring break and whether you're too old to go oh to arizona state yeah that was specifically0.96
00:54:25.060an uh age-based conversation where mike fell in the we didn't we didn't go by the way oh we didn't
00:54:31.500it sounded like you had the pass to go though we always listen i i get the pass to go to0.78
00:54:36.500all those kind of parties and i still do i go and i hang out with fucking 21 kids and they all0.98
00:54:40.420they fuck with me you know so it's like i don't it's not a problem but it's like yo the problem0.99
00:54:44.160is me trying to keep up here's why here's no you lead the pack here's why here's why it works0.99
00:54:49.500mike's got the wisdom and experience of like a 45 year old yeah but he's got the demeanor and
00:54:57.820attention span of a 12 year old so true so true and i love it because i'm like i'm like kind of
00:55:03.900similar but with less of a gap yeah yeah um your workout your workout you're crazy in shape you
00:55:11.400run through the mountains you're doing frozen trail runs don't you run like 90 miles a day
00:55:15.820yeah yeah something like that that's crazy yeah um i just like feeling like i've done something
00:55:22.440every day put in work every day and running gives me that feeling so i i hate you know everybody has
00:55:29.000these goals and wants to be the best version of themselves some days how how do you quantify that
00:55:35.040i just know when i run i'm like well i did something you know i feel good about that so
00:55:39.840that's my go-to basically i i love i love what you just said i've always said if there's like
00:55:44.940a day where i'm feeling lazy or whatever if i don't do anything except work out it was a good0.88
00:55:49.360day check mark exactly i don't need to go to bed feeling like a lazy piece of shit and i hate and0.99
00:55:53.460and luckily you've been doing actual shit every day because you have not been fucking working0.99
00:55:57.940it's well because i've been sick guy i've been sick guy i'm on that excuse for like the past0.99
00:56:01.940like six months i got influenza i got diagnosed with influenza i got the flu so hey so tell me
00:56:07.160about this fighting thing so yeah what so what's your goal what's your because i i didn't you what
00:56:14.160were trying to do a pay-per-view with was it conor mcgregor did i see that so there was a there
00:56:19.800was a point okay where i was like yeah i'd fight mcgregor and like by the way i would fight mcgregor
00:56:25.160i'd also probably die no problem no problem but uh yeah this youtuber called me out in a fight
00:56:30.860his name is ksi uh we fought boxing match uh it was a draw i'm a much better boxer than him
00:56:36.800he was in much better shape than me endurance endurance yeah yeah so and and then hey mcgregor
00:56:42.240gets gassed out too that last fight bad well no even against diaz you see when he's yeah when he's
00:56:49.240he like on the second fight he knew what happened the first fight because he got gassed out and just
00:56:53.920like god choke me get me out of here and then on the second fight he wouldn't engage he'd be like
00:56:59.460no i'm gonna take a little break because i know he knows his body he uh in interviews he now admits
00:57:05.960that he's got this uh hump we're at like the maybe 60 of the way through he'll he'll in his
00:57:13.640mind he's at the bottom of a mountain and he knows the mountain ahead and he has trouble uh
00:57:18.460getting over it but uh yeah man i've i've i wrestled my whole yeah i think your dad told me0.91
00:57:24.560yeah so to be honest man my goal i want a fucking ufc fight dana white where you at like i want one0.92
00:57:30.640UFC fight before I die yeah put me in the fucking octagon CM Punk got in there what's good that's0.96
00:57:37.100who he wants to fight oh really yeah I think that he won't one of the people he's not gonna do it0.98
00:57:41.740but the other the other problem now it's not a problem but the other situation we face is0.99
00:57:46.180why do we have to go to UFC you know what I'm saying like he just he just does shit himself0.61
00:57:52.280now because like literally Mayweather fight the fight the kid and whatever just yeah it was an0.93
00:59:24.200where were you guys sitting front row opposite end of where the fighters enter opposite side0.67
00:59:31.820oh that's kind of where i was well we missed an opportunity we suck so did you see rogan
00:59:37.180i did yeah he was over to our left oh so i was sitting right there okay we were in the area of
00:59:42.560the dude that got in the fight after colby with the make america great again hat he was like five
00:59:48.220rose over from us getting in an argument with the ram the rams yes so girly was next to us we were
00:59:54.780literally sitting with girl oh i was looking because there's one guy with girly that just
00:59:58.280kept he wouldn't shut up he's like over and i'm like okay we got we get it you don't like him
01:00:02.740yeah you've established that with a hundred flip-offs yeah anyway hey i want to i want to
01:00:08.420touch on this quickly too you uh speaking of the running and you talk about it as something that
01:00:13.060you accomplish daily that makes you feel good you talk about it similarly as something that
01:00:18.140you're doing because you, if it makes you feel good to have gotten it done, can you talk a little
01:00:23.220bit about how it makes you feel mentally? Because, because we, we talked a little bit about mental
01:00:28.540illness and I, you know, I personally, and I think a lot of other people have dealt with anxiety or
01:00:33.200whatever in their life. And when I exercise, there's nothing that does more for my mental
01:00:39.320wellbeing or physical wellbeing, obviously than working out. Do you feel the same kind of mental
01:00:43.660Yeah. Yeah. You know, it keeps me healthy, just, just healthy, just literally, but also mentally too. And it's just, I feel like, you know, the gift of life is it's amazing. It is amazing. I feel like I have actually have a greater appreciation for the gift of life because I hunt. So I'm out there. I know what's at stake. I know life can end. I mean, not just with people dying, but taking life of an animal. It's, it's, it grounds you.
01:01:09.580So I, for my life, I feel like I need to exercise.
01:01:13.800I need to honor what I have and to be, as I said, be the best version of myself.
01:01:19.520Like last week, we went to the Grand Canyon.
01:01:22.260We stood at the rim and it was amazing to me to be able to, we went from the South Rim to the North Rim back to the South on Saturday.
01:12:14.240I mean, I think this goes without saying, but you were the first person to ever shoot a pecan from 30 yards away through my garage, all the equipment, the setup impulsive.
