Hunter S. Thompson, man, he's a fascinating character that we've touched on quite a few times on the Joe Rogan Experience. Here are the highlights:

1. Hunter's Political Troll Move on Ed Muskey: Dude, Hunter started a rumor that Ed Muskey had taken Ibogaine, leading Muskey to have a breakdown during a campaign speech. Thompson even discussed it on the Dick Cavett Show. The guy was a master at political trolling.

2. Events That Shaped Thompson: Timothy Denevi came on the show and talked about how Hunter's writing style and perspective were unique. Denevi even wrote out some of Hunter's quotes long-hand to capture that essence.

3. Why He Moved to Colorado: In the early 60s, Thompson was losing his mind in San Francisco. He ended up in Colorado after driving a friend's car there and meeting a journalist named Peggy Clifford. She invited him to stay in Aspen, which eventually became his home base.

4. Hunter Running for Sheriff: When Hunter ran for sheriff, it was a monumental moment in pop culture. The guy was seen as a madman, and people were in a moral panic about what would happen if he actually won. He had wild ideas like locking up bad drug dealers and putting them in stocks in the main square.

5. Hunter and Nixon Bonding Over Football: One of the most bizarre stories is how Hunter, who despised Nixon, bonded with him over football. They even had a plane ride together where they only talked about football, not politics. It was a wild moment orchestrated by Pat Buchanan.

Hunter S. Thompson lived a life that was anything but ordinary, and these stories just scratch the surface.
