[MUSIC] The Joe Rogan experience. >> Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day. [MUSIC] >> Come on, brother, good to see you. >> Good to see you. >> So this conversation was, well, anytime you want to come on, I'm always happy to talk to you. But this conversation was birthed out of that crazy conversation we had in elk hunting camp. >> Which one? >> Well, yeah, we had quite a few of them. Where you just, you will open up my eyes to somebody. First of all, I never understood the extent of the man fuckery in Afghanistan. >> Oh, yeah. >> When we were talking, remember we were hanging out in front of the trucks. And you were telling me about mumbles? >> Yeah. >> There's a few conversations I've had with friends that for the rest of my life, now things are different. Like now I look at that one conversation, that one hour conversation we had, okay, the world's different now. >> I always assume people have heard these stories from Afghanistan. >> Cheers. >> You got to drink that. >> Yeah, cheers, sorry. >> You can't have cheers with that, yeah. >> Buffalo Trace. >> So yeah, the amount of man on man buggery in Afghanistan is significant. Did they warn you about it before you went over there? >> No, no, I think there was so many different things about both Iraq and Afghanistan. That the learning curve for all of us was so high. Culturally, you don't think about a lot of those things. You just don't, you just, you know, you grow up in America. >> Right. >> You assume everybody, every man is basically like an American male, because that's at 26 or 27 years old. You know that there are cultural differences, for sure. But I'm telling you, I was in Kuwait for like the first time early on. And the Kuwaitis like to hold hands, like the dudes like to hold hands. And that's not comfortable, like for guys. >> Isn't that weird though, because we do shake hands. >> Yeah, you know what I mean? >> But you don't walk around holding another man's hand. It's just not comfortable in any scenario. But imagine I'm trying to explain that to someone who didn't understand like what makes it gay. Like at what point in time does like holding onto a hand? Does it get, you know, like there's like a meter, like you can kind of like hold onto a hot potato for a couple of seconds and it'll burn your hand. >> After a certain point, you're walking around holding another man's hand and you've never really done it. Probably since you're a kid, maybe holding your dad's hand when you're like three or four years old.
