#1960 - Andrew Schulz

SPEAKER_2 (0:04)

The Joe Rogan Experience.

Andrew Schulz (0:15)

Hey, first archery shot ever.

SPEAKER_4 (0:18)

Oh, that was cool.

Andrew Schulz (0:19)

40 yards with an 80 pound compound bow, you got it right in the fucking vitals.

SPEAKER_4 (0:26)

It was cool.

Andrew Schulz (0:26)

That's an amazing thing. You should probably quit now.

Joe Rogan (0:28)

Yeah, yeah.

Andrew Schulz (0:29)

I mean, to take, first of all, the bow's not even set up for you. The way the bow is set up is for me, I have shorter arms than you. You would have a longer draw length, so you have to kind of like move your body a little and you'd sense it that peep sight.

Bro, that's a long shot for a first shot ever in a bow, 40 yards in an indoor range, and you got it right in the vitals.

Joe Rogan (0:51)

Yeah, now what were you thinking when I struggled to pull it back?

Andrew Schulz (0:55)

Normal, it's weird.

Joe Rogan (0:57)

Oh, that is a common thing that happened.

Andrew Schulz (0:58)

Yeah, oh, you didn't have an excuse at least. Brian Cowan had a fucking...

Joe Rogan (1:02)

Wait, what did he say?

Andrew Schulz (1:03)

He's reading a scroll of excuses now.

Joe Rogan (1:06)

My labrum.

Andrew Schulz (1:06)

Probably technique, you know. No, it's a strength thing. I mean, it is technique, but it's just 80 pounds is 80 pounds. It's a lot of weight.

Joe Rogan (1:14)

I have a new respect for bow and arrow folks.

Andrew Schulz (1:19)

It's hard. It's very hard, but it's really satisfying.

Joe Rogan (1:22)

Like it puts in perspective, like the people who can do it on horseback, you see it in the movies and shit like that.

SPEAKER_4 (1:27)

I don't know why I didn't think it was that hard, but.

Andrew Schulz (1:30)

That's a next level thing. The horseback thing is crazy. The Mongols would time their shot when the horse was in the air.

So when the horse was in the air, then they would release it.

Joe Rogan (1:38)

Oh, mid-gallop.

Andrew Schulz (1:39)

Yes, so there would be less disturbance, less jolt on their body.

Joe Rogan (1:43)

So was that, we always talk about like Genghis Khan and how he was able to take over the world. Was the competitive advantage horseback weaponry?

Andrew Schulz (1:54)

They had a lot of things going for them. They had strategy, first of all. They had devious, wild strategies. Like they would set people up.

Like they would send a small party out and those people would go after a small party and chase them down. They would lead them into like a canyon filled with Mongols and just slaughter everybody and block the exit.

Joe Rogan (2:15)

Yeah.

Andrew Schulz (2:15)

They would hold a siege.

They would attack a city and they would bring so much food and so many supplies. They'd just camp out outside the city.

Joe Rogan (2:27)

Wait for them to starve.

Andrew Schulz (2:28)

Until everybody starved out. And then they would start killing people and lighting them on fire and putting them on catapults and launching them over the walls and light their own houses on fire with the dead bodies of people they killed.

SPEAKER_4 (2:43)

That's motivational.

Andrew Schulz (2:44)

Bro.

SPEAKER_4 (2:44)

Yeah.

Andrew Schulz (2:45)

Those motherfuckers killed 10% of the population.

Joe Rogan (2:48)

That's the crazy thing. Like, I don't know. I always wonder about these times. Like, what was the Roman Empire's advantage? And some people chalk it up to roads. Like, why was Genghis Khan so effective? But at a certain point in time, it has to be technology, right? There was a lot, man.

Andrew Schulz (3:02)

A lot going on. There was the knowledge of the recurve bow. They were really good at the recurve bows. They had catapults.

And they just had, like, Genghis Khan just had this unquenchable desire to take over the world. It's really crazy that, you know, no one's scared of the Mongols now, you know? But then when one of those dudes fights in the UFC, you're like, Jesus.

Joe Rogan (3:25)

Wait, who's Mongolian in the UFC?

Andrew Schulz (3:27)

Let's see. Who do we have? The Mongolian murderer. That's one dude.

But there's people from that Caucasus region of the world. Like, there's a lot of people from Kazakhstan and Dagestan.

Joe Rogan (3:39)

So all the Stans are remnants of the Mongolian empire.

Andrew Schulz (3:42)

Yeah, those guys that look a little Asian.

Joe Rogan (3:43)

Yeah. Rachmanov.

Andrew Schulz (3:45)

Yeah, Shavkat Rachmanov.

Joe Rogan (3:47)

Yeah, Shavkat Rachmanov, yeah.

Andrew Schulz (3:48)
