Joe Rogan (0:07)

Boom, and we're live. Jamie, where did you get that awesome shirt?

Show everybody your shirt. Can you show the people your shirt?

Jamie (0:12)

Yeah, I picked it up yesterday. It says Believe, Believe That.

Joe Rogan (0:16)

Believe That.

Jamie (0:16)

From The Hundreds. I saw it at the store yesterday.

Joe Rogan (0:18)

What is The Hundreds?

Jamie (0:19)

The Hundreds is a streetwear brand. It's a store in Fairfax.

Joe Rogan (0:22)

I thought it was like a scene in a movie. I was confused.

Oh, so...

Jamie (0:26)

I just saw it and I was like, dope.

Joe Rogan (0:27)

Yeah, I mean, that's a combination of that girl who was on Dr. Phil's show and UFOs.

Jamie (0:34)

Sort of, yeah.

Joe Rogan (0:35)

Yeah.

Jamie (0:35)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (0:36)

Believe that. Because, like, Believe...

Believe is so X-Files the year 1999 or whatever it was. Like, when was the X-Files on?

Jamie (0:48)

It's on now.

Joe Rogan (0:49)

But when was the original one?

Jamie (0:51)

Yeah, in the 90s, late 90s, mid-90s.

Joe Rogan (0:54)

Believe is that. That's that poster and I was just... You can't disconnect them from the poster in Mulder's office.

But believe that, that's today. You nailed it, whoever made that shirt.

Jamie (1:09)

I want to believe.

Tony Hinchcliffe (1:10)

It's a cool shirt.

Joe Rogan (1:11)

Is it I want to believe? That's what it said on the poster? Yeah, believe that's better.

But I do want to believe of all the things, of all the stupid things, I would love to believe that someone got real footage of UFOs. Like, more than almost any other weird Bigfoot type locked nest monster, all the really nutty shit, if they could find out one of those was true.

Fucking aliens, number one, right? For sure. Even if you just knew for sure that you saw a real ship.

Tony Hinchcliffe (1:42)

Or if the aliens looked like Bigfoot, then you kill two birds with one stone.

Joe Rogan (1:48)

That was an actual theory.

SPEAKER_4 (1:53)

Some of these Bigfoot people are so...

Joe Rogan (1:56)

There's spectrums of Bigfoot people, man. There's Bigfoot people, there's people that are like real primatologists, like Jane Goodall. Jane Goodall believes in Bigfoot, believe it or not.

It's really fascinating. There's a whole interview with her where she says she's sure of it. She said she's sure that there's another species.

Tony Hinchcliffe (2:15)

How can she be sure?

Joe Rogan (2:17)

Well, let's play the clip, see if we can find that clip.

Tony Hinchcliffe (2:20)

Who's Jane Goodall again?

Joe Rogan (2:21)

She's a world famous primatologist who did some groundbreaking work with chimpanzees. She essentially lived with chimpanzees. She's so powerful. I mean, this lady is amazing. You watch her documentaries. So when someone like her says something like that, I'm like, okay, well, I should shut the fuck up and stay in my lane when I'm going to argue with Jane Goodall about primates. And it used to be a real thing.

They used to really be a gigantopithecus, an eight foot tall orangutan like thing that probably walked on two legs.

And she believes it's real.

Tony Hinchcliffe (2:55)

She thinks it did exist or she thinks it exists right now? Wow.

Joe Rogan (2:59)

Yeah.

Tony Hinchcliffe (3:00)

Wow.

Joe Rogan (3:01)

I don't think it was taken out of context because I'm pretty sure it was someone asked her a question and then she gave a long and detailed answer based on like what we know about certain chimpanzee subspecies that are really, really hard to find. Like we're just finding out. I think they figured it out from like the 1990s. There's a giant version of chimpanzees that lives in the Congo.

They're called them Bondo Apes or there's a couple different names for them. They call them, but they sleep on the ground like gorillas. They're giant chimps.

Tony Hinchcliffe (3:34)

I love that stuff, man. I just watched Planet Earth 2 the other day. Just mesmerized, just physically saying like, wow, wow.

Joe Rogan (3:42)

I don't think a normal person understands what you're talking about when you say a six foot tall chimp. I just don't think they know what you're talking about. You're talking about like a super gorilla.

It's like not, it's way scarier than a gorilla because they're chimps. Chimps are scarier. Chimps are predators.

Chimps eat monkeys, man. I mean, people want to associate chimps with bananas and nuts and stuff like that. They eat that stuff, too. But they also eat monkeys.

Tony Hinchcliffe (4:11)

Scary.

Joe Rogan (4:12)

Dude, they're ruthless motherfuckers. What is this, buddy?

Jamie (4:15)
