Joe Rogan Podcast, check it out.
Joe Rogan (0:03)
The Joe Rogan Experience. Trained by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day. Oh man, what's happened, baby?
Evan Hafer (0:14)
Everything and nothing all at the same time.
Joe Rogan (0:17)
I was just explaining all the shit that's on this desk. It's like, everybody likes to give me something that sits here, which is kind of cool, like Ed Calderon gave me this. It's like a WD-40 with a lighter attached to it. You can fucking blast people.
Evan Hafer (0:33)
Is it like a self-defense?
Joe Rogan (0:36)
He's always got these things, like cartel things. That looks like the cartel expert.
Evan Hafer (0:40)
It's 3D printed, yeah.
Joe Rogan (0:41)
Yeah, I think it is.
Evan Hafer (0:42)
Yeah, yeah, that's cool.
Joe Rogan (0:43)
Yeah. I mean, it's a portable flame drawer.
Evan Hafer (0:47)
Holy shit.
Joe Rogan (0:49)
I love this. Two common items. And then I think it was Luke Caverns gave me this. Is that who gave me this? The old Mechhead. It's from the Olmecs.
Evan Hafer (0:59)
Oh, is that what it is?
Joe Rogan (1:00)
Yeah. And then, of course, my man John Reeves has always given me these mammoth things. I got mammoth tea. This is actually from Colossal, but he gave me a 1911 handle.
Evan Hafer (1:11)
That's legit.
Joe Rogan (1:12)
Yeah.
Evan Hafer (1:13)
Even though, do you have any 1911s?
Joe Rogan (1:15)
No.
Evan Hafer (1:15)
Yeah.
Joe Rogan (1:16)
I got 2011s.
Evan Hafer (1:17)
Yeah, of course. It's a huge upgrade.
Joe Rogan (1:20)
Yeah. But, you know, I'm sure it'll probably be able to fit. Like, you could bring it to a gunsmith. He could make it fit.
Evan Hafer (1:26)
Yeah. Well, you know what you could do? You could have him make one for your bow. So you could put the bone on each side of your bow.
Joe Rogan (1:32)
Oh, I have that.
Evan Hafer (1:33)
You have it?
Joe Rogan (1:34)
Yeah. From Rattler Grips.
Evan Hafer (1:36)
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
Joe Rogan (1:37)
This is another piece. Shout out to Handsome Rob at Rattler Grips. He always hooks me up, gives me those keep hammering ones.
Evan Hafer (1:44)
Yeah. Those are cool.
Joe Rogan (1:46)
Yeah, it feels better too. It feels better in the hand. It's interesting, like Hoyt doesn't have a whole lot of options. Like Ultra View doesn't make their handles for Hoyt, but they make them for Matthews because he shoots Matthews. But it's a nice handle upgrade. It really does, like the way it sits in your hand, it really does feel like a little better.
Evan Hafer (2:05)
Are you still putting them on your Hoyt for everyone?
Joe Rogan (2:08)
The Rattler Grips.
Evan Hafer (2:09)
You do?
Joe Rogan (2:09)
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, he just sent me some new ones. It feels better. And the bone, there's something about the bone, it's more tactile in your hand than the plastic.
Evan Hafer (2:18)
Well, I've been wrapping mine with that camouflage athletic tape.
Joe Rogan (2:21)
Oh, really?
Evan Hafer (2:22)
Yeah.
Joe Rogan (2:23)
Beaumar sells stuff like that. He sells specific bow grip.
Evan Hafer (2:26)
Right.
Joe Rogan (2:26)
It's got a little bit of tackiness to it, but some people think you shouldn't have that. They think your hand should be so relaxed that it should be able to slip around your hand so there's like no torque whatsoever in your front hand.
Evan Hafer (2:36)
I don't like that. I like to feel the dexterity of it, right? I like to have a little bit of relief in the hand in the context of like I got to have some grippiness to it. It's just like a baseball bat or any other things. Even all of the Glocks and 2011s, I'll still do an upgrade on the stippling and creed a bit more. But I've also got giant hands for a, well, I shouldn't say I'm small. I am two inches taller than the average Asian woman.
I don't like to brag about it. I don't want to come out with that right away. It just might seem a little bit egotistical.
Joe Rogan (3:13)
Yeah. But if you do anything, I think it's just like whether it's with archery, or anything with shooting, it just has to register with you.
It's not going to be the same with everybody. I know dudes who just can't get used to finger triggers, and some dudes just love finger triggers. Some guys just have to shoot a hinge, and some guys just can't do it.
