SPEAKER_2 (1:06)

Trained by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day.

Joe Rogan (1:14)

Yeah, what's up? Good to see you, man. What's happening?

Khalil Rountree Jr. (1:18)

We're back, we're back, we're back.

Joe Rogan (1:19)

We were just talking about eating pigeon. So I was in Europe, and I had pigeon, and it's a red meat.

Khalil Rountree Jr. (1:26)

Wait, pigeon's a red meat?

Joe Rogan (1:27)

Yeah, it's red. And they serve it very rare.

Khalil Rountree Jr. (1:30)

Yeah. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Joe Rogan (1:32)

I know.

Khalil Rountree Jr. (1:33)

Wait, first of all, eating pigeon is just, it's different. But you're telling me that it's red meat, and they serve it rare.

Joe Rogan (1:41)

Yeah, it's rare. Well, there's quite a... I know. That was a little stunned, too. When the guy, well, the chef basically, he brought us out food, right? We didn't order off the menu, he just brought us out this food. And when the pigeon came...

Yeah, it looks red, man. Like, it looks almost like you're eating a piece of steak.

Khalil Rountree Jr. (2:01)

It's like before you prep it, you know? Like, this is not what I would expect it being, like, getting served this.

Joe Rogan (2:08)

Well, there's a bunch of different birds that have red meat, like ostrich, ostrich's red meat.

Khalil Rountree Jr. (2:14)

I didn't know that either.

SPEAKER_2 (2:15)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (2:15)

I used to get ostrich burgers at Fuddruckers. I think Fuddruckers went under, unfortunately.

Khalil Rountree Jr. (2:20)

You know what? I think I did have an ostrich burger at Fuddruckers, like, years ago.

SPEAKER_2 (2:24)

Yeah.

Khalil Rountree Jr. (2:24)

Now that I think about it.

Joe Rogan (2:25)

It's the shit. It's very good.

Khalil Rountree Jr. (2:27)

Wow. So wait, tell me more about this. What's the word again? How do you say it?

Joe Rogan (2:32)

Squab. That's what they call it. They call it squab. But this guy just said it was pigeon.

Khalil Rountree Jr. (2:36)

How do they say it? It's like the breast? It's like pigeon breast.

Joe Rogan (2:38)

Yeah, it's just pigeon breast. It's like a red meat.

Khalil Rountree Jr. (2:41)

It does look kind of juicy, huh? Like when you see a pigeon, they're pretty like, they're pretty jacked. So I'd imagine it's a good cut.

Joe Rogan (2:49)

This conversation started off air because that's what it looks like. That's the rib by the sky. Oh, okay, that's Sandhill Crane. Now look at that. Doesn't that look like beef?

Khalil Rountree Jr. (2:56)

Yeah, it looks like beef.

Joe Rogan (2:58)

They call them rib eyes in the sky. That's Sandhill Crane's.

Khalil Rountree Jr. (3:01)

Wow.

Joe Rogan (3:01)

It's delicious apparently. I have never had it, but it's supposed to be insanely delicious.

Khalil Rountree Jr. (3:06)

Wow.

Joe Rogan (3:06)

Yeah, they hunt them in Texas. That's a big one in Texas.

Khalil Rountree Jr. (3:10)

That's interesting.

Joe Rogan (3:10)

Yeah, so we were talking about animals that have been modified. Like we were looking at Carl and we're like, how crazy is it that a human over thousands of years altered by select breeding created that thing? It's kind of nuts.

Khalil Rountree Jr. (3:23)

Yeah, I mean, since we're on a topic, this is kind of weird. There was one night I was going down this crazy YouTube spiral. And there was some guy who was just making creations. Like he used human... He was just cross-fertilizing shit.

Joe Rogan (3:42)

Oh, God.

Khalil Rountree Jr. (3:42)

Yeah, it was the craziest thing ever.

Joe Rogan (3:44)

Chimeras, right?

Khalil Rountree Jr. (3:45)

I don't know what the hell you call it. But he was making these creatures and then they were living in these jars and then it would fast-forward like, you know, three weeks, four weeks and they're growing. And one of them had this like crazy little eye. And it was the weirdest shit I've ever seen, which then led me down going in another spiral where it's like, apparently, there are people around the world who will like, do like breed, breed like goat mixed with like fucking human. And like, it's just weird, man. There's a whole other world out there. I'm not surprised. There's a whole other world out there.
