Pretty good episode, he's some kind of conservationist/author who spends a lot of time in wild environments, especially the amazon. Lots of talk of Anacondas and Jaguars and etc etc. I found this guy way better and more knowledgeable than Forrest Gallante. link |

Heard of him before from the "Eaten Alive" stunt he tried to do with an Anaconda.  |

Lol ok. I will say he was still definitely a "hype merchant" and prone to say sensationalised things (he claimed to grab an anaconda where it was so thick he couldn't touch his fingers when his arms were wrapped around it, basically saying it had a diameter of about 2 feet), but the bar is quite low thanks to the other "wildlife guys" Rogan has on, he was better than most.

Most of them are full of sh*t. Forrest said that Giant Ground Sloths may live high up in the mountains of Greece or some country like that lol. It's complete crap. |

It is somewhat weird that literally "Hammerhead" (and all of us) know more about animals than wildlife experts that go on Joe Rogan, but it is what it is. I thought this guy was kind of ok. |

It is a bit weird but it somewhat makes sense when you think about it. When you debate about animals on forums and groups online over years and years, naturally you'll gather a crap ton of info about like, hundreds of animal species, as debating about such hypothetical conflicts requires the user to have a good understanding of the animals' habitat, environment, prey-predator relationships, statistics about the animals and like, a billion other things. |

We need to get hardcastle on the JRE just so millions of people can hear his dog knowledge, Joe would probably be interested in what he says tbh
and we could get a hardcastle face reveal

Lol, I've thought about how that could potentially happen if my book comes together the way I envision it to. It is extremely relevant to his interests and answers heaps of questions he has about the origins of civilisation. I often get frustrated watching him talk to Graham Hancock and Randall Carlson when they are all stumped by a big mystery which I know the answer to and can clearly demonstrate in thousands of ways.
The problem is he really won't LIKE what I'm saying. It solves many of the mysteries he is obsessed with but in a way I already know he will find unsatisfying and anti-climactic. It poo-poos on all the ideas he has become increasingly fond of.
Apart from that he's actually a classic "dog hater"/wild animal mythologiser. "Dog haters" don't hate dogs, for the record, they often love them very much. BUT they have this weird desire to downplay them as part of a grander goal to elevate wild animals as being like mythical super monsters. A big part of it is shitting on dogs (and humans) to lift wild animals by association, and Joe is a classic case of someone who LOVES doing this. My book is kind of all about how we are wired to ignore and dismiss and downplay dogs, they wanted us to dismiss them so they could sneak into our camps, but then under our noses they basically built civilisation and tamed the wilderness and made it their bitch (essentially, not in those words).
So I actually think he will actively avoid acknowledging the existence of my book EVEN IF it somehow took off and got famous. It is too inconvenient for him and his preferred ideas. Clashes with him kind of perfectly, 100%.

The "python cowboy" who was just on JRE was also really good linkTurns out he's a dog man and actually hunts pythons and Iguanas and other invasive species in the everglades with dogs. He said he has something like 20 hunting dogs and most won't be interested in reptiles, but the odd one just has the knack and passion for reptiles. Right now he has a wirehaired pointer that is really good and even had clips of it smashing iguanas on the show. Friend of Joe Rogan, Steve Rinella, recently had a good episode where they talked about Ancient dogs and Dire wolves Now, I badly needed to be in the room to straighten a lot out, but it was still interesting. |
