Get right.

Joe Rogan (0:01)

Four, three, two, one. Ah, and we're live, ladies and gentlemen. Let's go, champ. Shout out to Shannon, the Can of Briggs. Shout out to the Flat Earth. Shout out to Young Jamie for being a newfound believer.

And shout out to John Dudley.

John Dudley (0:22)

Thanks for having me back, brother.

Joe Rogan (0:23)

My brother, thanks for coming with me, man. We have fun. We just got back from a wild pig hunt, ladies and gentlemen. So, if you're super not into killing animals, super not into eating animals or hearing people talk about eating animals, now is definitely the time to shut this one off.

I get it.

John Dudley (0:41)

We'll talk about, I'm sure we'll talk about fitness or something good about food, for sure.

Joe Rogan (0:46)

Archery, life.

John Dudley (0:47)

Beverages.

Joe Rogan (0:48)

Yeah, health. I ate nothing but garbage over the last two days. Just straight garbage. And good food, too. Like, they cook good for us there.

John Dudley (0:57)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (0:58)

But I ate corn, no, not corn flakes, raisin bran.

So sugary. It was delicious.

John Dudley (1:04)

Dude, you murdered the junk food.

Joe Rogan (1:08)

I did.

John Dudley (1:09)

I thought I was in, like, I don't know, I thought I was in a frat house there, the way you're going through raisin bran and Fritos.

Joe Rogan (1:17)

I'm a mess. No, I didn't have Fritos, but I had Lay's potato chips, like potato chips.

John Dudley (1:22)

I did knock down, I knocked down a pack of Cool Ranch Doritos. They weren't how I remembered them when I was, when I was, like, 11 and those came out.

Joe Rogan (1:31)

They were the greatest thing of all time.

John Dudley (1:32)

They were. I don't know.

Joe Rogan (1:34)

Something happened to them. You know what? I think as you get older, when you're a young kid and you eat something terrible for you, like a Ding Dong or Ring Ding, you know those things?

They see, they feel so good when you're eating them. They feel so good, like, the idea that you could just take that white plastic wrapper, rip it open, and that chocolatey, delicious hockey puck with the cream inside of it was there.

You didn't give a fuck about your health. You're like, I'm going to eat this thing right now. And you get so excited. But as you get older, and we talked about that this weekend, you kind of recognize what's happening when you do something more. Like, you're more in tune with what nutrients you're putting in your body and what their effect has on you.

John Dudley (2:15)

Oh yeah, big time. And you start to, it's funny how your taste buds change. I recently started liking onions and mushrooms, and they were the only two things I did not like at all. You remember when you were asking me about the morels? You couldn't believe that I didn't like morel mushrooms?

I actually had some mushrooms in some type of an Oriental dish, and all of a sudden I'm like, what the heck? It tasted, for the first time when I tasted a mushroom, it didn't just taste like mush. It literally had a flavor. So I've included them on my meals like if I'm at a steak restaurant or something, and I genuinely are liking the taste of mushrooms now.

Joe Rogan (2:55)

How weird, like your taste buds shifted.

John Dudley (2:57)

I think it happens all the time. Our boy, Harry, he just all of a sudden out of nowhere started really liking green peppers. Whoa.

Joe Rogan (3:05)

Out of nowhere.

John Dudley (3:07)

It's a mystery.

Joe Rogan (3:08)

It is a mystery. I've always wondered, like, when people enjoy something that's really strange, like in Iceland, they have this really bizarre pickled shark that is supposed to be atrocious for everybody but people from Iceland.

John Dudley (3:25)

Well, it sounds like pickled herring.

Joe Rogan (3:26)

No, it's something way more intense. It's supposed to be, like, really intense.

Like, it's a fermented shark. It's like a fermented... See if you can find it, Jamie.

John Dudley (3:36)

It's supposed to be disgusting. I mean, what do you think when you hear blood pudding?

Joe Rogan (3:41)

I'm out.

John Dudley (3:43)

And there's people... I've got friends in England that love... They love blood pudding.

Joe Rogan (3:50)

Well, I've eaten it over there. In the sausages, you know? Like, blood sausages. I've had that.

They love it, though.

John Dudley (3:57)

We have our own.

Joe Rogan (3:58)

Anthony Bourdain on eating Icelandic delicacy, fermented shark, never again.
