Great to meet you.

Mike Glover (0:16)

Thanks for having me on.

Joe Rogan (0:17)

Probably not a good idea to stuff our fat faces with Terry Black's barbecue before we come here.

Mike Glover (0:21)

We should take a nap right now.

Joe Rogan (0:23)

I got a brick in my stomach. Those beef ribs are insane.

Oh my god, that place is so good. That's the one thing that I... You know, Texas barbecue will fucking ruin you. There's only a few other places you can go where you can get barbecue of that caliber.

Mike Glover (0:38)

It's insane. All the wood that they have staged for everything.

Joe Rogan (0:41)

Yeah.

Mike Glover (0:42)

It's pretty amazing.

Joe Rogan (0:42)

I got an offset smoker for the first time. This company Sentex BBQ. They built me this grill.

And I never... I always cooked on a Traeger, which I love, because it's so convenient. You know, you can see it on your phone. You know what the temperature is. But this, I did it like the old school way. I burnt the logs and the offset smoker, regulated it with the dampers, got the temperature up to like 250 degrees, put the steaks on, smoked the steaks till I got them to 110 internal temperature, and then seared them. There's like a charcoal grill on the side. Oh my God, it's insane.

It's the best.

Mike Glover (1:17)

Since you started your carnivore diet.

Joe Rogan (1:18)

There it is right there. So maybe that's a little charcoal grill on the side. And then the other one, if you go backwards, that's the actual grill itself. That guy did a fucking tremendous job. It's like a real work of art.

It's incredible. Like just the craftsmanship.

Mike Glover (1:34)

What's it called?

Joe Rogan (1:36)

Central Texas. Central Texas smokers. It's really, really super, super well done.

Mike Glover (1:41)

How do you think elk would do on something like that?

Joe Rogan (1:43)

Oh, it does great. I cook elk on the Traeger all the time. I don't think it'll be any different. I'm probably going to cook some elk on it tomorrow night. OK, so I'm excited.

Mike Glover (1:51)

I might try that out.

Joe Rogan (1:53)

So what's up, Mike Glover?

Mike Glover (1:54)

What's up, man?

Joe Rogan (1:55)

Nice to meet you, finally. I've been following your content.

Mike Glover (1:58)

Years. I think I saw you talk about a bug out that I did from Phoenix to Canada, and you're like this crazy prepper guy.

Joe Rogan (2:05)

Yeah, you went in one tank of gas.

Well, it wasn't one tank, but it was... How did you do it?

Mike Glover (2:11)

So the idea from the company perspective was we need to demonstrate that bugging out is not realistic in the country. Going from gas station to gas station would not be available. So, if you bug out, you have to do it self-sustained with no support. So the idea was like, hey, get a Dodge 2500 pickup truck because the Toyota Tacoma is not going to cut it.

We trimmed out everything. We put wood in the back. We put tanks of gas, like an extra spare tank, 75 gallons, which extends your range massively.

And then we did an unsustained or a self-sustained trip from Phoenix to the Canadian border. No stops at a gas station, no stops for anything. So we slept out of the vehicle. We just did it on one tank of gas, essentially one tank of gas. We had to run and prime fuel from the reserve tank to the main tank. But it was just like to prove like, hey, man, this idea of bugging out from a bad situation to a better isn't really realistic.

With one tank of gas. So like if you have a $100,000 vehicle, because you're like the overland bug out guy and you have a quarter tank of gas, then you have a big lead weight. That's just nothing. I mean, you burn it to the ground.

Joe Rogan (3:26)

How far can you get with 75 gallon tank as a reserve?

Mike Glover (3:30)

A couple thousand miles with your main tank. So most tanks 15 to 30 plus gallons.

And then a reserve tank Titan has a reserve tank about 30 gallons. And then you can get an extended fuel tank. Like I talk about this like it's innovative, like it's new. But if you live in rural Montana or rural anywhere in America, you roll with a 75 gallon tank in the back of your pickup truck because you'll go 500 miles before you see the next gas station.
