Joe Rogan (0:02)

That's it, we're live.

Eddie Huang (0:03)

We're live.

Joe Rogan (0:04)

That's live. What's up, baby? How you doing?

Eddie Huang (0:06)

How you doing? Good.

Joe Rogan (0:06)

Good to see you, brother. That is a very colorful... You got a lot going on with that shirt.

Eddie Huang (0:10)

Fishing. Fisherman's outfit, yeah.

Joe Rogan (0:13)

Is that what it is?

Eddie Huang (0:13)

It's an old Nautica shirt I found.

Joe Rogan (0:17)

Oh, it's like, it's a shirt that has pictures of rain gear hanging up on hooks.

Eddie Huang (0:22)

Yeah, and binoculars and boots and nets and shit. It's a very powerful shirt, Nautica-themed shirt.

Joe Rogan (0:28)

Yeah, it's like a Nautical Shed theme.

Eddie Huang (0:32)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (0:32)

Where you put your Nautical gear.

Eddie Huang (0:34)

Ice fishing, I think.

Joe Rogan (0:35)

Do you fish?

Eddie Huang (0:37)

I did, in Orlando, I used to fish a lot.

Joe Rogan (0:38)

Yeah?

Eddie Huang (0:39)

Yeah, I was on, like, I couldn't do it, I couldn't party for a couple years, I'd get tested, so I just went fishing after school.

Joe Rogan (0:44)

Instead of partying?

Eddie Huang (0:45)

Instead of partying.

Joe Rogan (0:45)

What were you getting tested for?

Eddie Huang (0:47)

Just, you know, like, your probation officer would show up at your crib or whatever.

Joe Rogan (0:51)

Oh, what did you do? What did you do to get you a probation officer?

Eddie Huang (0:54)

I had, I had like a, I think we talked about this before, I had like an assault, like my second year of college.

I caught an assault charge, but it was a self-defense, self-defense, self-defense. So I pled out. But no, me and my buddy Justin Foreman, like, I couldn't go party, but he would come pick me up and we just go fishing on the lakes and shit. So Orlando's got really good bass fishing.

Joe Rogan (1:17)

Yeah, no, it really does.

Eddie Huang (1:19)

I love fishing. I'm way into bass fishing.

Joe Rogan (1:21)

Really? Like large mouth?

Eddie Huang (1:23)

Yeah, large mouth. I do the rubber worms, I do the frogs off the lily pads, I do all that shit.

Joe Rogan (1:28)

Spinner baits, all that jazz, crank baits, little Rapala, little minnows and shit.

Eddie Huang (1:33)

Mine was the watermelon seed worms that bounce off the floor.

Joe Rogan (1:37)

Look at you, dude. Did you ever get one of those boats, those little bass boats with the flat bottoms and you can move around with a little trolling motor?

Eddie Huang (1:45)

Yeah, so what we did was I had a canoe. I had a canoe at the crib. But then on the other lake, we saw this onboard motor that the dude had just left on his dock. So one night, we were young. It was like high school or wherever. So we stole this dude's motor and put it on my canoe.

So we were cruising with the fucking onboard motor on my canoe.

Joe Rogan (2:05)

How did you install it on a canoe? Because a canoe has a pointy end as opposed to a flat end.

Eddie Huang (2:10)

I don't know. My boy Justin figured it out. I have no idea how he fucking did it.

Joe Rogan (2:14)

But it doesn't make any sense.

Eddie Huang (2:15)

He rigged it up to put it on the back of the shit.

Joe Rogan (2:18)

But because a canoe has two points, there's a point in the front and a point in the back. How the hell did he get a motor back there?

Eddie Huang (2:24)

He did it. I have no idea. He called it the outlaw.

Joe Rogan (2:27)

Was it a trolling motor, like a real quiet one, or was it a big heavy...

Eddie Huang (2:31)

It was the quiet little one you can put in the front.

It's that little thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Joe Rogan (2:37)

Yeah, the idea of those is you want to almost go against if the tide is pulling you one way, or move along the bank in fresh water, you can use them. Actually, they're probably only using fresh water.

Eddie Huang (2:50)

Only, because you could creep into the lily pads.

Joe Rogan (2:52)

Yeah.

Eddie Huang (2:52)

So we'd creep in, and there was a drop off on this lake on the Butler Chain. And around sundown, fish would just be right there. If you get to the drop off, you could hit them.

Joe Rogan (3:01)

I love fishing. It's so fun. There's something primal about it. There's something primal about when you catch something and you see it, when you're like, I got one, I got one, I got one, and as it's coming up, you see it in the water, like, oh, there it is. Oh my goodness.
