Joe Rogan | The History of Duels

Yeah, it's very Viking. Yeah. Yeah Does axes always land the right way that's what always freaks me out I feel like it would my handle would bounce off the wall and it would just fly somewhere weird in a movie the guy grabs the knife by the blade like this and it always Lands with the blade in the body imagine someone threw a knife at you and the handle hit like this you're like, oh bitch I have a knife. Thanks for throwing me this knife And I'm gonna hold on to a death grip and slide into your rib cage I heard you mentioned this yesterday, but did someone duels that were a lot of duels? I heard a stat I didn't I never knew about it that Andrew Jackson was in something like a hundred duels What he only killed one person? I thought he killed a lot of you usually get shot in the arm Yeah, like you know like a musket ball would go like your leg So the one where he killed the guy he actually it was a I forget the actual guy's name But he was known as being a really good duel He killed a lot to be like 26 people or something like that so he challenged this guy and He thought the only way to win would be to let him take the first shot So he let him take the first shot got hit in the chest was bleeding Covered the hole and then shot the guy and he died Whoa, he shot him in the head He said he fell immediately and then died like a couple hours later I think I don't know if he was the president at the time But the the doctor said like I don't know how You stood and took that shot and he said I if he shot me in the brain I was gonna stand and take that shot to kill this guy I don't know if he said like motherfucker or whatever but like Andrew Jackson is a crazy Well, like the where his where his where the statue of him is and in Jackson Square in New Orleans There's that church that's behind it and that this is why New Orleans is supposedly the most haunted city is Because they'd had the most duels because once Andrew Jackson contacted John Lafitte and was like I need an army and John Lafitte was basically a gangster Which is basically someone that can get you anything like that's what a connected guy does And so he got him freed slaves native Americans Creoles Cajuns and just you know angry men and they repelled the British But then they stayed and they just lived in the bars and they were dual happy because their egos were so big And I've looked for these and I can't find them what they had was dueling cards where if you had one it would say Joe Rogan have your face, you know Probably that image and it would say you know dueling card and someone bumped into you and you were like you just give them your Card and be like see you in the morning motherfucker and that means we're shooting it out Whoa, you would duel over nothing and the guy I went in this ghost tour and the guy taught me this told me this story And he said imagine the amount of guys who were hungover woke up like fuck. What did I do? I got a duel now and you'd go behind that cemetery that's where they'd have their duel and Imagine laying there with a bullet or a piece of round lead in your liver and gone like I'm dead over this shit Okay, I stepped on my foot. They keep cards like do their cards No, this is just like a picture of one They also said that a lot of times the the duel wouldn't actually happen like they might not actually shoot It was more of a test of will of like yeah, will you go through with it? Yeah Yeah, I was all honor They'd have to bring a second guy to make to like verify that the duel actually went down and someone's got a pussy or whatever Yeah, serious. He's like the judge He's laying odds Certain states where duels are legal I think they're still legal in Arizona or they used to be because there was a cop who shot someone in a duel Like years back really? Yeah. Yeah, it was it was a weird thing like a cop was off duty and he shot someone in a duel Man I want to say this is more than ten years ago So maybe they changed the law, but I remember reading that going what you can you do that word saying Texas Well, yeah, that's only what's up? Fuckin do what is that?
