Cameron Hanes (0:00)

What? Oh, they did, I know, 20-some.

Joe Rogan (0:09)

Yes!

And we're live, Cam Hanes. Flip that sucker over, so you don't get any distractions.

Cameron Hanes (0:14)

Oh, sorry.

Joe Rogan (0:15)

See, that's what happens.

Cameron Hanes (0:16)

Jed already chimed in.

Joe Rogan (0:17)

This motherfucker's right in the other room. He's got to text you, make sure you say this, make sure you do that. We were, we just got back from an epic elk hunt in the mountains of Utah.

We did. Epic is the right word.

Cameron Hanes (0:30)

You know, I think people throw around epic a little loosely.

Joe Rogan (0:32)

They do.

Cameron Hanes (0:33)

Not this time.

Joe Rogan (0:33)

Not this time.

Cameron Hanes (0:34)

No, no.

Joe Rogan (0:35)

God, man, it was amazing.

Cameron Hanes (0:36)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (0:37)

First of all, the place was incredible. The mountains up there were just, the scenery was just stunning. Like every way you look, your jaws drop. You're like, whoa.

Cameron Hanes (0:45)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (0:45)

It's amazing.

Cameron Hanes (0:47)

Everything about it.

Joe Rogan (0:48)

Yeah.

Cameron Hanes (0:48)

I mean, but especially the scenery, just the mountains that they live in there, they're rugged, they're beautiful. And the quakeys haven't even turned yet. Normally, it seems like by this time, that's all yellow, like all those white trees.

Joe Rogan (1:03)

Yeah, the aspens.

Cameron Hanes (1:04)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (1:04)

Why do you call them quakeys?

Cameron Hanes (1:06)

Quaking aspens.

Joe Rogan (1:08)

Quaking aspens. I've never heard them called quakeys until this past weekend.

Cameron Hanes (1:12)

Call them quakeys.

Joe Rogan (1:12)

Or this past week, rather. Everybody's calling them quakeys. I'm like, what are you guys talking about? Yeah, that's a photo that I took from up there.

Fuck, man. Everywhere we look, it was just like, there was too many moments with Elk that I couldn't film, because I was just so engrossed in the idea of getting it done and the hunting aspect of it, that I didn't want to pull my phone out and be taking pictures over five minutes. No, be the tourist. Yeah, I took a few here and there, but there were so many moments that I'm so glad that Under Armour filmed this whole thing.

Cameron Hanes (1:41)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (1:42)

So we're going to have a film of it that's going to be released online, so people are going to get a chance to check out how just incredible and epic, and maybe just get a tiny sense of what we talk about when we talk about how amazing it is.

Cameron Hanes (1:55)

Yeah, and we had the right guys filming it because there's all sorts of different levels of, especially hunting films. I mean, there's guys out there just with a handy cam, just trying to do the best they can to share their experience.

And then there's guys like Mark Womack and his crew with Sub-Seven that make films. I mean, he's filmed me. There's an episode called Roy's Buck, a whitetail hunt in Colorado.

Joe Rogan (2:20)

Did he do the Time episode?

Cameron Hanes (2:22)

Time, yeah.

Joe Rogan (2:23)

That one's amazing.

Cameron Hanes (2:24)

That's really good. So those are not just your typical what people might think of as a hunting film. Those are just, you know, or hunting video. These are true films.

Joe Rogan (2:33)

Well, it's a short film, and it's really like almost like a mini documentary of how you're trying to balance your life and training and running and competing in these ultra marathons and then also working a full-time job and then also going out and bow hunting. It's really well done. So those same guys filmed us.

Man, do we got some epic footage. Just epic.

Cameron Hanes (2:57)

Yeah. And like you said, hopefully gives a glimpse for people that haven't experienced it or aren't hunters, maybe, just to see everything that's involved in the hunt and how powerful it is and just the wild animals out there interacting with each other and then how we fit in that formula. It's crazy.

Joe Rogan (3:19)

It's one of those things that I really think our words like people will be intrigued by the words, but I don't think we're ever going to be able to put it in their head what we experienced, because there was one point in time where Jameson Colton and I were together in the woods.

And I just stopped. And as we were walking towards this elk that was screaming and screaming elk all around us, and you hear these cow elk that are making this meow, meow.
