This guy was battling bandits and jaguars in the jungle and I’m over here eating salad from a vending machine in a cubicle. He’s lived a far more adventurous life. What a badass.
I went to school with Merlin and his brother and sister. His Dad was a world renowned naturalist. Changed my life knowing them. It got me into my profession.
May I ask what your parents did for a living for you to go to school with thos guys family? Was it just location or is your family interesting, or successful etc as well
More old-timers, please. We pass them in the street and even get annoyed with them, but they always have the best stories to tell. Think twice before you get frustrated with an old person. They've been through a lot.
Get annoyed with them? I guarantee you this old timer and almost every other person his age used to get annoyed with old people when they were our age.
This is what I like about Joe. He adapts to his guest. This guy has seen more danger than 90% of his guests, but hes an old man. The stuff hes talking about is crazy and exciting, but its being told in a somber way like a grandpa would. Joes just sitting there patiently listening and asking questions like a grandchild would.
Buzz Aldrin is 93. Get him on before he passes or Jack Schmitt or Charlie Duke! A couple of the 12 moon walkers are still alive. It be awesome to hear Joe
What a legend. To anyone in their 20’s or younger, I can’t wait until you understand the value of listening to elders like this. They’ve been through it all and can put a lot into perspective for you. I adore listening to my elders these days, incredible stories and advice.
I did that once with a former army ranger nam vet at a crazy home( go figure lol!) I'd get high and go and basically interview him in the cig break room after putting cream on his jungle rot feet haha crazy stuff especially about his orders he had or heard of.
I worked for the Smithsonian years ago in Panama and I remember him coming through Barro Colorado. He was celebrity, even amongst the preeminent Tropical Biologists in the world. I now live in Venezuela and get to explore some of the places he’s talking about here. He’s a legend
Amazing, i'm happy you chose venezuela as a place to live, i'm venezuelian, living in europe, all i want is to go back there, it's literally heaven on earth, enjoy yourself there brother🔥🌊🌺🌴🙌🏽
What a legend! I was so happy to join the Bat Conservation International (the ONG he founded) when I was a kid, 30 years ago, because I was so happy to know that I was not the only weirdo who loved bats. One cannot exaggerate the work this dude has done for wildlife and the environment. Thank you Joe for giving him the space and notoriety he deserves!
You could literally tell he could just talk and talk about his life experiences as long as he is allowed to. And I am totally here for it. These types of guests are not only important, but the most enjoyable to watch. Positive and informative. Its a breath of fresh air from the politics and divisive topics. No matter someones background, there is no way you couldn't like this guy, and that's whats so beautiful about it.
these explorers have the greatest stories, especially the guys from back in the day marching through places like Africa in search of the source of the Nile for example...the stuff they went through..imagine having malaria, dysentery, smallpox...all while marching through unmapped jungle and encountered soldiers, thieves, angry natives and apex predators, trading beads for food...they'd rather die than return defeated, mail took months, travel took years, expeditions took many lives, but plenty of opportunity to become a badass and remain forever young
yeah i really enjoy listening to the old blokes. I think younger people need to hear more from old chicks and blokes, they need to hear how we lived before the computer.
@@dalelane1948 Ask and record older relatives about their childhoods, lives as young adults, and the like. play it back and take notes and find out exactly how badass they actually are/were!
I wish I knew this guy, to hear his adventures. His memory, is literally still there, in the moment. No lying, with his storylines. I bet his kids and grandkids love him. I know I would
When I see older guys I always wonder what they've been through and experienced. There are a lot of real bad asses walking among us, but totally unassuming. Fascinating stories.
I worked as a tour guide in a cave in Vail, AZ. I learned about bats and Merlin Tuttle and quickly became a fan of his conservation efforts of bats. He founded Bat Conservation International. His photography is amazing. I went to Caves all over southeast AZ and counted bats with a Bat biologist from Tucson. Some of my best memories.
@@JasonMillerOutdoors I've never seen anyone set up a trail cam in a cave. I imagine it wouldn't be too difficult. You would have to find their roost and disturbing bats especially while they're roosting is frowned upon. Ive seen trail cam right outside a cave entrance.
@@JasonMillerOutdoors I'm not sure how well the motion sensors would detect an individual bat's movement, but I'm sure a large swarm would set them off
I use to smoke weed part do coke show up to a construction job still wasted. Long story short i would always call drugs dope. Refer to things as dope andit wouldbthrow the older guys off they would think i didnt use drugs cause i wasnt specific.
You have millennials and zoomers talking about how older generations could support a family on one salary and buy a house and car, etc. and how it’s so much harder these days. Bullshit. Listen to a guy this age and hear his life story and tell me his generation had it easier in any way, shape or form.
Being an adventurer in the jungle isn't the same as a factory or sales job back in the day. They did have it easier, much easier. You must be old or really young. I'm 32 and I remember how my dad supported our whole family by himself with just a painting contractor job. Now I have that same job and I can't even afford a 1 bedroom apartment here in the bay area. Cost of living has increased exponentially but wages barely go up at all. Wake up turd
This was my favorite episode in some time. I had never heard of Merlin before, but I was fascinated by literally everything he said, from everything I didn’t know about bats to the escapades and near-death experiences. Will definitely be looking more into this guy and reading his books.
There's an unexplained phenomenon that happens whenever an old person talks/tells a story. Without even thinking about it, you automatically shut up, sit down and listen. It's fascinating. 🤔🤔🤔
I'm 39 and I don't like talking to people my age because they have the same experience in life but I love love hearing interviews and stories from older folks like this❤❤❤
Goes to show, life happens the most in the journey. He just wanted to see & explore into the unknown while his endgame goal was stuff for the Smithsonian. This man was fully immersed and in the Zone. Accompanied by others, well prepared and with common sense and good instincts. I really like this man.
Love this interview! I don't know how this man can remember all this so well. At 38 I struggle to remember what I ate yesterday sometimes. What a life he has lived. I love listening to the older generations past experiences. They have so much knowledge to share and often no one willing to listen.
thats the thing! you will remember so powerful moments for the rest of your life, every detail from dangerous and crazy situations are saved... not how you ate yesterday and relaxed at home or got drunk, no that is not life and it only makes sence that you dont remember these meaningless things.......... people are boring as hell nowadays, living in comfort till they get fat and sick
@@Wabalabadapdap Good point. Thinking back, I do recall my most intense, scary and exciting experiences throughout life. Well the ones that I didn't party too hard and leave blurry. It's also easier to recall things I am interested in as well, so point proven. I'm an info junky and am addicted to listening to documentaries or podcasts while doing whatever it is I am doing unless it involves other people and sometimes I prefer that over socializing sadly. However, I do know people who literally spend their entire day in front of a tv living vicariously through the lives of fictional characters while literally experiencing nothing in their own. Balance is key and Merlin Tuttle does have a great memory and it's probably bc his experiences are worth remembering.
100% authentic, maybe.... But not 100% correct about that cobra in a cave, unless he wasn't talking about Venezuela in that part... Perhaps he left out that he was in Africa or Asia, or maybe he actually meant to say it was a Lancehead Viper.
I hope we get more people like merlin on podcasts. Well traveled old people that are passionate on their field of study/career have so many interesting stories to tell.
We need more people like Merlin from the conservation world on this podcast. Merlin’s book is my all time favorite to read. In his book he has story’s of his relationships with moonshiners in Kentucky. Secret lives of bats.
I love listening to older folk talk and tell stories especially a older one that is excited to tell his story I can't imagine the stories he has in his head he has forgotten more stories than we know
The real stories are are always the best. I met a 100 year old Marine that told me about the Japanease sneaking into the camps at night and slitting throats. It was an honor to sit with him and hear his stories.
This guy is one of the best storytellers I've ever listened too. The drama, the exaggeration and emphasis on things he is familiar with and pauses to think on things he isn't is incredible
You rarely see that sparkle in Joes eye along with a smirk of love toward a guest but you can see it here. Awesome ep and joe respected him by letting him talk freely.
Just imagine in the real space age all the future explorers and the adventures that await them. This gives me hope that humanity will do wonderful things in this universe.
It is interviews like this that shows us why Joe Rogan is who he is today. He is patient, he is kind and respectful when he needs to be. We need more interviews like this .
I never heard of this guy, I came because we share the same last name. I stayed because I could not imagine have a life filled to the top with the most amazing adventures. I was reading the comments and it's very interesting how so many people recognize there is something different about his generation and this one, now. He is not only a dying breed but also the people and places he went to, are disappearing. You will never see what he saw. When he passes it all goes with him. Amazing.
Joe really really needs to have a lot more of older folks that have a lifetime of interesting and crazy stories!! Older folks always have very crazy and interesting stories because they’ve been alive for a long time and they’ve done many many things in their life! They were also alive during the times with no internet, no cellphones/smartphones, no computers and nothing like that, so they had to go out into the world and actively try to find crazy things and to do crazy things!! I just absolutely love listening older folks talk about stories they lived through and the crazy things they did a saw during their life!! I just love it!!
Hearing stories like these helps to put into perspective one's priorities as well as having a more proper mindset to endure and overcome daily obstacles in life.
THIS is the kind of pod that I appreciated so much about JRE 8 or so years ago. No bullshit, no fucking conspiracy theories and pseudo science, no silly fucker trying to sell a book of half-truths and blatant sensationalism. Just the genuine article, a true adventurer of days past, he doesn’t speak in absolutes, he’s not being overly dramatic or exaggerating. It’s very clear the guy has found himself in all sorts of unwanted/unplanned and terrifying situations merely as a byproduct of true curiosity and daring exploration.
I freaking love this interview! Older generations teach us so much! We must take full advantage of our elders knowledge. Joe handled it perfectly. Even more respect for Joe Rogan he’s a class act!
Joe is one of the greatest people to ever bless this planet.. his genuine kindness to people is unmatched especially with someone as wealthy and with as much social influence that he has.. a true blessing to be able to hear this man talk and for this podcast!
I was born in 1961, it always slays me when someone says “clearly there was no cell phones”. I’ve had more of a life without a cellphone, still don’t have one. Society today can not imagine a life without them. Blows my mind.
This is one of the things I like about Rogan, he has some really interesting people on his shows who have had, shall we say, very colourful lives that we probably would never had heard or seen had it not been for this show. Thank you Mr Rogan, we salute you
I came across Dr. Tuttle a couple weeks ago when I went in a deep dive on bat conservation. Had know idea he had this many adventures. His work in bat conservation speaks wonder already
I went ahead and bought this lovely gentleman's book, as I have never heard so many interesting things about bats before. 🥰 Thank you, Joe, for another amazing podcast!
og map makers. biologist. and explorers like this guy are legends. i cant even imagine what their life would be! it would be like a video game where they get to see new stuff everyday!
i just love watching joes clips and seeing how respectful he is to his guests. like he basically is saying talk about whatever the fuck you want, if you want to go off topic go off topic. this is why joes is an actual good guy
That's classic Joe being patient and allowing awesome stories to be told. No other podcasters would have allowed that to filter out. Joe, you ARE a national treasure.
I didn’t thing I would love this episode, but I actually put headphones on and listened to the rest. I typically only listen to podcasts in the car. This man is a national treasure.
I’ve was in the Navy and have been to about 6 different countries. I’ve been to a bunch of different states. Listening to this guy’s stories makes you realize how untraveled most people (including myself) are. What a wild way to live.
I met an old German chemist. Short, squat, clipped moustache super neat clothes. He had digitized his slides from the late 60's from when he was in Venezuela . There's a photo of this ripped dude, six pack, hair down to his waste, long beard, beads round his neck wearing a lap lap holding a blow gun. I was about to ask who was this cool hippie when I realised it was him..... Age can make you invisible
I watched this podcast and it made me smile. Dr. Tuttle is very knowledgeable and listening to him and his field of study is quite fascinating. It is also funny listening to his grandpa noises and Joe being Joe.
We need more older people like him to be interviewed before that generation no longer is living.
Always hoped that one day Joe would interview Thomas Sowell.

I never heard of this guy, I came because we share the same last name. I stayed because I could not imagine have a life filled to the top with the most amazing adventures. I was reading the comments and it's very interesting how so many people recognize there is something different about his generation and this one, now. He is not only a dying breed but also the people and places he went to, are disappearing. You will never see what he saw. When he passes it all goes with him. Amazing.
Merlin would be the best grandfather. He has amazing true life bedtime stories for days.
Joe really really needs to have a lot more of older folks that have a lifetime of interesting and crazy stories!! Older folks always have very crazy and interesting stories because they’ve been alive for a long time and they’ve done many many things in their life! They were also alive during the times with no internet, no cellphones/smartphones, no computers and nothing like that, so they had to go out into the world and actively try to find crazy things and to do crazy things!! I just absolutely love listening older folks talk about stories they lived through and the crazy things they did a saw during their life!! I just love it!!
I find all of your podcasts/videos interesting but this is probably my absolute favorite so far! Fantastic guest!!!
Hearing stories like these helps to put into perspective one's priorities as well as having a more proper mindset to endure and overcome daily obstacles in life.
"Then there was the time the river bandits came after us" 😂
THIS is the kind of pod that I appreciated so much about JRE 8 or so years ago. No bullshit, no fucking conspiracy theories and pseudo science, no silly fucker trying to sell a book of half-truths and blatant sensationalism. Just the genuine article, a true adventurer of days past, he doesn’t speak in absolutes, he’s not being overly dramatic or exaggerating. It’s very clear the guy has found himself in all sorts of unwanted/unplanned and terrifying situations merely as a byproduct of true curiosity and daring exploration.
Joe needs to bring more old timers on. I enjoyed this. Nothing better than hearing the stories and preserving them.
I freaking love this interview! Older generations teach us so much! We must take full advantage of our elders knowledge. Joe handled it perfectly. Even more respect for Joe Rogan he’s a class act!
You can tell Joe is absolutely fascinated with him because he hardly speaks a word he just sits a listen to this man’s adventures
What an amazing life you have lived! Thank you for sharing your story!
Joe is one of the greatest people to ever bless this planet.. his genuine kindness to people is unmatched especially with someone as wealthy and with as much social influence that he has.. a true blessing to be able to hear this man talk and for this podcast!
Truly one of the most fascinating guests. This man's life is like a movie of epic adventures.
Loved this guy and his stories. I felt like every time he paused that I needed a drink of water.
xD
Geez, same here.. it was driving me nuts. Trying to focus on his awesome stories and getting destroyed by his cotton mouth.. haha
Telling Jogwire stories is thirsty work!
He's over 80 it happens 🧓
I needed a drink too….but it was whiskey!🥃
I was born in 1961, it always slays me when someone says “clearly there was no cell phones”. I’ve had more of a life without a cellphone, still don’t have one. Society today can not imagine a life without them. Blows my mind.
This is one of the things I like about Rogan, he has some really interesting people on his shows who have had, shall we say, very colourful lives that we probably would never had heard or seen had it not been for this show.
Thank you Mr Rogan, we salute you
Love listening to the elders stories!! Always the best ever and thank you Joe for being a considerate listening interviewer!!
This man
has went balls deep into everything he ever did! What a Legend
I came across Dr. Tuttle a couple weeks ago when I went in a deep dive on bat conservation. Had know idea he had this many adventures. His work in bat conservation speaks wonder already
I went ahead and bought this lovely gentleman's book, as I have never heard so many interesting things about bats before. 🥰 Thank you, Joe, for another amazing podcast!
This man knows what he is doing, he is good at telling stories and puting in the details you want.
Have you seen
Joe Rogan asks Elon Musk HARD Questions about Cobalt Mining For TESLA Batteries?
🏎🔋
Definitely
og map makers. biologist. and explorers like this guy are legends. i cant even imagine what their life would be! it would be like a video game where they get to see new stuff everyday!
i just love watching joes clips and seeing how respectful he is to his guests. like he basically is saying talk about whatever the fuck you want, if you want to go off topic go off topic. this is why joes is an actual good guy
That's classic Joe being patient and allowing awesome stories to be told. No other podcasters would have allowed that to filter out. Joe, you ARE a national treasure.
I could listen to this guy talk about Jargwar all day
Man use to be the real Indiana Jones back in his day.
Really an ideal guest. Someone thoroughly fascinating with important stories to tell, but I never would have known of him but for this interview.
I didn’t thing I would love this episode, but I actually put headphones on and listened to the rest. I typically only listen to podcasts in the car.
This man is a national treasure.
This is awesome 😎 Hard day at work and this is perfect for lay up and chill😁Hes a great story teller!
We are watching a legend here, these seniors and the stories they have are so interesting to listen too. Immortalized for us to enjoy and learn from👏🏻
Write me 💬👆👆👆.
I’ve was in the Navy and have been to about 6 different countries. I’ve been to a bunch of different states. Listening to this guy’s stories makes you realize how untraveled most people (including myself) are. What a wild way to live.
One of the best podcast. To hear all that he have done is amazing. More experienced people to Rogan podcast 👍
I could listen to this man for hours.
I met an old German chemist. Short, squat, clipped moustache super neat clothes. He had digitized his slides from the late 60's from when he was in Venezuela . There's a photo of this ripped dude, six pack, hair down to his waste, long beard, beads round his neck wearing a lap lap holding a blow gun. I was about to ask who was this cool hippie when I realised it was him..... Age can make you invisible
This guy was truly an amazing interview and great listen
Haha! buh is yer name a Broly reference?
I watched this podcast and it made me smile. Dr. Tuttle is very knowledgeable and listening to him and his field of study is quite fascinating.
It is also funny listening to his grandpa noises and Joe being Joe.
I could listen to this old timer all day telling his stories!
This dude is a national treasure
Straight to Spotify I go!
We need more golden age peoples stories. This was amazing. I will look at this episode.
