The Joe Rogan Experience.

Joe Rogan (0:12)

Um, we were just talking before we started rolling about Mike Glover, who's a guy online who, uh...

Andy Stumpf (0:19)

He's also real life.

Joe Rogan (0:20)

He is a real life person too. He's not just an animated character.

Andy Stumpf (0:25)

I've met him.

Joe Rogan (0:26)

He gets, uh, he gets a lot of censorship, right? Don't they censor the shit out of him? Don't they shadow ban him and fuck with his posts?

He teaches preparedness, right?

Andy Stumpf (0:38)

Yeah, so he owns Fieldcraft Survival, which I would describe as preparedness, not to be confused with...

Joe Rogan (0:44)

Preppers.

Andy Stumpf (0:45)

Which I don't think is... has to be a pejorative term. There's a fine line...

Joe Rogan (0:51)

It's a lot of the end of the world people, right? It's a lot of...

Andy Stumpf (0:54)

If you're bearing a school bus in your backyard, and you have like fields of fire and fucking bazookas hidden everywhere, you've taken it too far. Having a medical kit in your car and some first aid training, like, hey, I can stop bleeding until a higher level of care arrives, I think that's great, so that's preparedness. But Mike owns Fieldcraft Survival.

He talks about getting censored. A lot of people talk about getting censored in Shadow Band. I can't make heads or tails as to whether or not that is how true it is.

Joe Rogan (1:23)

Yeah, I'm with you. I'm with you on that.

Andy Stumpf (1:25)

Some people's stuff is fucking boring. So the engagement should be lower.

Joe Rogan (1:30)

That's so true. But everybody wants to think they're so important, they're put on a list.

Andy Stumpf (1:37)

Have you ever seen somebody complaining about being Shadow Band and they have under a hundred followers?

Joe Rogan (1:41)

Because I have.

Andy Stumpf (1:43)

It's fucking glorious.

I'm being Shadow Band. I only have seven likes. That's actually a 7% engagement. It's pretty good, dude.

Joe Rogan (1:51)

I do think it's highly likely that they take people and put them on certain lists, though, where you don't get distributed as widely. But I think what it is, it's like, if they feel like you have controversial content, they don't want to put you in that search function area. Like, say Instagram, for instance. You know, like, if you go to the search area of Instagram, you'll discover a bunch of new people, new pages. I don't think I'm ever in that.

You know, I think I talk too much shit, and I swear, and I show animals getting eaten.

Andy Stumpf (2:23)

Yeah, the good stuff. That's the stuff that I'm in Instagram for.

Joe Rogan (2:27)

It's like, nature is metal. That's a good page. It's fucked up.

But you're never going to find that in the search.

Andy Stumpf (2:37)

You have to completely spell it out, don't you?

Joe Rogan (2:39)

You're going to go looking for nature's metal. That's one of my go-to everyday pages. I go straight there, and then I go back to what's the new, horrific example of the survival of the fittest.

Andy Stumpf (2:48)

I'm actually currently very deep into watching people eat shit on mountain bikes.

Joe Rogan (2:52)

Oh!

Andy Stumpf (2:52)

It's one of my absolute favorites.

Joe Rogan (2:55)

Those poor kids that do the flips and then land poorly.

Andy Stumpf (2:59)

It's not even that. We're talking full just heroic charges down these hills that are just cambered out, and then the bike is going over. The last thing you see is the body folding in half on a tree and the bike coming off. It's awesome.

It's taken me a long time to curate my feed, to show me mostly these things. It's work.

Joe Rogan (3:18)

Just idenose Andy likes violence.

Andy Stumpf (3:23)

I don't know if that's violence. That's just human beings exploring their flexibility.

Joe Rogan (3:29)

It's what?

Jamie (3:31)

Searching for mountain bike files.

Joe Rogan (3:33)

The files of the month. I'm sure there's a lot of good ones out there.

Andy Stumpf (3:37)

Here's the thing though about guys like Mike. I think we go.

Joe Rogan (3:40)

Oh, yeah.

Andy Stumpf (3:44)

Oh, and he's tied up in the bike.

Joe Rogan (3:46)

Oh, I saw a bad one the other day with a skateboard. I think we played it on the podcast, right? Where the dude wiped out and he wiped out on a skateboard and hit some sort of a sign post, and it ripped his leg in half.

And his the bones of his leg were poking out of his shin.
