#1028 - Adam Greentree

Joe Rogan (0:01)

I'm scared to ask you too many questions until we get live.

We're good? And we're live! Adam Greentree, fresh from Australia, fresh from the bush.

Adam Greentree (0:10)

Straight from the bush.

Joe Rogan (0:11)

Yeah.

Adam Greentree (0:11)

It's been crazy. So I was thinking about it, and not even the LA part, I was just thinking I went from the snowy tops of Montana, got home, pretty much hugged the family to death, went straight to Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory of Australia, complete opposite, like just first thing in the morning, just sweating, covered in mosquitoes, flat barren ground.

And then, but no humans, like a small indigenous population out there, and that's it. Then straight from there, so straight from Arnhem Land to Sydney, met Kim in Sydney, and then straight here to LA and flying in, and it's just like, I don't know how many people live here.

Joe Rogan (0:48)

Too many.

Adam Greentree (0:49)

Too many.

Joe Rogan (0:49)

There's more people here than in the entire country of Australia.

Adam Greentree (0:53)

That's crazy. Remember last time I was here, and you're like, this is the safest place on earth, or the safest place in the US, and there was that armed robbery or whatever there was in Calabasas there.

Today, when we flew in, I went into a cell provider to get a SIM card.

A dude walks in, look, full dodgy. I knew something was about to go on. The dude that was serving me knew something was going on. I kept seeing him looking over my shoulder at this guy. He grabs a Bluetooth speaker and it's like pretending like he's gonna go to the checkout. And I'm just being polite and thinking there's something going on. So let's just get him done and out of the store. Then he goes to a full runner for it, dude, straight out the door with this Bluetooth speaker. But old mate had his runners on and chased him down and got it off him.

Joe Rogan (1:42)

Really?

Adam Greentree (1:43)

Yeah, yeah. And I'm like, every time I come here, there's something crazy going on.

Joe Rogan (1:48)

Well, if you're in the wrong place, if the wrong time, there's plenty of crazy going on. There's just so many people.

Adam Greentree (1:54)

There's so many people. That's what it is, yeah.

Joe Rogan (1:55)

Yeah, there's no way around it. But, you know, fairly safe.

I mean, you're out there fucking shooting water buffaloes and shit.

Adam Greentree (2:05)

Which is safer than fucking people.

Joe Rogan (2:07)

That's just not, this is not true.

Adam Greentree (2:09)

That's crazy. It's safer than people.

Joe Rogan (2:10)

No, when you're Adam Greentree, maybe it's safer because you know what you're doing, and you know what a hunter nd you were telling a story on whose podcast?

Was it J. Scott's? I forget whose podcast it was. You were telling a story about one of your friends that got gored by a scrub bull.

Adam Greentree (2:27)

Pedro Lever that got gored by a scrub bull, yeah.

Joe Rogan (2:29)

Yeah, see, that's not good. That doesn't happen out here.

Adam Greentree (2:31)

That's definitely not good. Did I tell you that story?

So what happened? He shot a scrub bull.

Joe Rogan (2:37)

Well, tell people what a scrub bull is.

Adam Greentree (2:38)

So a scrub bull is just like domestic cattle, but it's been out in the wilderness.

Joe Rogan (2:44)

Many, many generations.

Adam Greentree (2:45)

Exactly.

Joe Rogan (2:45)

Wild. And they changed the way they look. They look different.

Adam Greentree (2:47)

Yeah, they're like a real feral, inbred-looking.

Joe Rogan (2:50)

They're crazy-looking.

Adam Greentree (2:51)

They're crazy-looking. And they're crazy dangerous, too.

Joe Rogan (2:54)

Here's a photo of him. I mean, that looks amazing.

Adam Greentree (2:57)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (2:57)

That is such a cool-looking animal. That looks so much different.

Adam Greentree (3:00)

And that's pretty much a purebred brahman, that one.

Look at that one. Whoa. Yeah, that looks like...

Joe Rogan (3:08)

So when you say it's a purebred brahman, that means...

Adam Greentree (3:10)

That's a pretty good-looking bull. If you go up the top, Jamie, there's a couple more at the top. That red one that you were just under?

Joe Rogan (3:17)

That one there?

Adam Greentree (3:18)

That's a pretty typical scrub bull there. That's a fellow that I know, actually, in Australia.

Joe Rogan (3:22)

Is that a stick bow he's got?

Adam Greentree (3:24)

Yeah, he's got a trad bow. That's all he hunts with, is a trad bow.

Joe Rogan (3:28)

Why do people do that to themselves?
