Joe Rogan Shares Crazy Baboon Stories

Walt Disney's a nice man, but Bambi was not a good thing for our our collective psyche around hunting not just Bambi But essentially all cartoons involving animals to animals were your friends. Yes, even predators Yeah, Yogi was your friend. He was your friend. He wore a tie Yeah, he's a picnic basket There's a dude recently he was caught poaching in Missouri and the judge said that he had to Watch Bambi once a month during his entire sentence Why see if you find that that is real that judge just needs a reality show He's like I know what to do, honey I know to do will make you watch Bambi he poached a deer this is a guy like the whole others like a whole family Guys who were in like a poaching ring or something. I read this in the way over here Here it is deer poacher sentenced to watch Bambi every month during a year in Missouri jail Yeah, this might be a judge that's like looking for a little Really killed hundreds of deer Sometimes taking over their heads and leaving the rest to rotten fields. Yeah, how about you keep that guy in jail for more than a year? There he is. Look at him David Barry jr. Look at him Fucking dork has been ordered to watch one thing man If that guy was killing him because he was poor and he was just eating deer and that's how he made his you know That's how he got food. That's not the case. I don't care. He chopped the heads off and just Just fuck anybody who does that anyway fuck anybody who just wants to shoot something as damn delicious and massive as a deer a Deer could feed a family for months. Do you understand that? Of course it good you understand that but I mean people listening or this asshole Do you understand that this asshole who shot this fucking thing? Look forward to eating deer and you shot it and you yeah anyway back Like Walt Disney, I think like That kind of treatment of animals has been something that's hurt hunting and the third one is hunters I've hurt themselves like that guy like maybe that's poacher not guys way worse That's a poacher not a hunter though, but he's a guy who's hunting illegally. That's what the poaching is. He's honor Yeah, but like camping camping illegally is trespassing. That's not to say yeah, but you're camping You're trespassing and camping. You're still camping Maybe he's I know you don't want to call him a hunter like you know like someone who? Who goes on stage at a company picnic is not a comedian. Yes I get it He's still killing animals. Yeah, he's killed more than me. That's a hundred. Yeah, I'm a hunter and he's killed more than That's true. He's a piece of shit. He is but that's just like everything else man There's people that are good uber drivers, and there's some that'll try to pull you under a bridge and fuck your mouth That's a good point to bring up like is there is there time like I always bring up with hunting It's like oh somebody killed a giraffe or somebody yeah a guy killed family baboons and made and did a photo I saw that you see that Good not good Yeah, there's nothing good about that with the idea never gonna go well for you line It's never gonna go well for you. Yeah, did he put it online? No, he didn't put it online to his I guess the credit that would give the guy who put it online The Idaho Statesman or whatever the Idaho local Picture I don't know probably from one of the folks He sent an email mass email out to some friends and colleagues and things of like recapping his Recapping his hunt in Africa like here's all the things I did and he I think from my reading on the guy a guy And I got a lot of mutual friends with him say he's a good guy. He just screwed up Made a bad choice. That's a tough sell. I would say so too, but I should put him in a cell He some monkey movies. I think he knew like if I put this if I put this Plain of the apes, you know, that's the Mark Wahlberg plan of the apes the reality of baboons and I have Studied the work of Robert Sapolsky Yeah Who's a guy who's been on the podcast before and it's it's really pretty amazing stuff What they found out about baboons that he studied actually because he actually studied a baboon tribe that the Alpha males died off. They were all eating out of a poison garbage patch there was a garbage patch that had sick food in it and Just bad food and the alpha males who got to eat first Always chased everybody they wound up dying off and for more than one generation I think was several generations They became like really peaceful and calm and they weren't the vicious violent baboons that are the norm Yeah, and that it's really if you Google it Sapolsky studies baboons and I and Radio Lab also had a podcast about it Which is where I first heard about it and then I read what Sapolsky wrote about it But it is unbelievably fascinating. It shows how you can have this insane Violent animal culture and then the the cunts get removed And when the cunts get removed everybody chills the fuck out. It's really really quite fascinating Yeah, but um baboons for the most part I mean, maybe he shot the nicest baboons ever but for the most part They're a bunch of baby eating cunts and they'll steal your fucking kid that little two-year-old that you love so dearly that little motherfucker Be on a porch somewhere and if there's baboons around they'll snatch him and eat his head that's like when I was in Africa hunted after one time in my life and The our pH and our guide both said and our church is a professional hunter, right? The structure is like there's a professional hunter which is essentially your guide and then there's trackers which are usually native Folks that that help tracking the game spotting animals things like that. But our pH He was like if you see a baboon shoot it It's like we have area we have lots of irrigation here to maintain this ranch and they rip it up and they're you know Basically terrorists around, you know coming around our camp messing with our fires messing with our food They can see one shoot one and that was the instruction that I got and I never never did but you know Given that instruction from somebody like that like hey, this is a good thing for our landscape go and do it now That's very far removed from stacking them up. Yeah, like stack very far and and with a big smile on your face holding a bow Is it doesn't he shoot a baby? There's some babies like a whole family You can't stay in one place either. You're gonna keep you and I said like listen Joe. Here's my plan What I'm gonna do is go to Africa and hunt and then You know, like I'm gonna shoot some baboons. I mean, it's a good thing for this Yeah, you'd be like don't don't take certainly don't take a photo of you posing with an entire family deceased primate I had a friend who was in Africa and he got attacked by a baboon. Boom baboon try to steal his food Yeah, I forget what the context of it was was uh It's quite a few years ago, but he said it was spooky He said they don't seem like a monkey and they don't seem like they seem like a dog monkey Wild you ever see when they open their mouth? Yes, it's like a dog mouth It's like a dog fucked a monkey like if you really like show a baboon you see a baboon with his mouth open never thought Of it that way, but I'll give it to you But they have a long stretched out mouth like a wolf or something. It's not it's like a werewolf Yeah, it's not like a regular person. They're real weird man They have all these characteristics that are of primates But then they have this extra weirdness to them. Yeah, this wildness to him too But doesn't that come down to like the core of some of these? Oh my god. I mean come on look at that That's like a werewolf. Yeah, that is a werewolf. That's like part Look at that face that lion Like a rolled back but look at the even the shape of the jaw. It's very dog-like Yeah, it's very elongated and and dog-like. They're very it's a very strange animal Look at that face man. That is a crazy beast and my friend said I forget the story I stole some food and snarled at him and snatched something from him But he said it was very scary. He said and you know, it wasn't even that big really like 60 70 pounds I'm like that he said but it's a bit pending. They'll fuck you up
