    I think interviews like this are the biggest reason Joe has become such a mega name. He finds incredibly interesting people, well known or not, and has the ability to speak with them in a way that gives the audience a pretty solid insight to their disposition. I had heard of Jason before and thought his story would be interesting to learn about, but never made the effort to do so. Thanks Joe for introducing us to yet another fascinating person.

    Jason actually paid the full fee for the production of the first Nirvana album Bleach. Only $606.17 dollars at the time. He was credited on the album, but didn't play on it. They also put him on the front cover. He played a huge role in Nirvana history . Also, think of how many Bleach albums were sold after Nevermind came out. Hope he gets paid his dues !!

    @Matty Kelly Why are they called Ivy League? The term 'Ivy League' was coined in 1937, by sports writer Caswell Adams in an article published in the New York Herald. Adams used the term as a reference to the powerful eastern football league, which was assembled by eight universities: Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Penn, Dartmouth, Cornell, Columbia and Brown. Google is a helluva thing. You should try it sometime. You just type what you wrote in responses into a Google search engine and VOILA!! You get an answer right away.

    I remember seeing him with SG at Tipitina's for their first show there. He came out - hit his low string and caused a minor earthquake. I could not believe how loud and thunderous his bass was. Loved it. What a show. There were only 50 or so people there. They played Beyond the Wheel in almost total darkness - a blacklight lit behind Matt - and I thought I was witnessing witchcraft or the devil on earth. Killer stuff.

    Archer, Rangers are hardcore dudes, but I’ve always felt that SF is where it’s at because those are the guys who have to be very smart besides being tough. A big part of SF training focuses on language and cultural training because SF are usually the guys making first contact with potential allies on the ground. Plenty of SF guys can do what Rangers do, but I doubt that too many Rangers can do what SF does.

    Western Washington was a crazy place to grow up. Love this story of climbing high tension power lines! We would jump from the top of Hemlock trees, and ride the limbs down as they bent, but don't break, amazing wood fiber. Lots of Western Washington was near rain forest, little rain micro climates, getting like 80 or 90 inches of rain annually, well away from the real Olympic Rain Forest. When I was 4 or 5, I'd be climbing big maple trees, just hanging onto thick moss, and digging my feet in. These were monster trees, the first limbs being like 30 feet up.

    @scsherman207 yeah. But nobody will think of this guy or no his name in a century from now or a millenia. But they most likely will those band mates 💁‍♂️ So you can see it however you like. I think being a green beret is badass and love and appreciation our soldiers. But I also understand it's in our DNA as men to want to leave a legacy. And to be fair. You call music trivial? Yet many times that music has MASSIVE impacts felt by millions and saves lives and changes them around or helps with mental strife and struggle. So if that to you is trivial I feel sorry cause it's far from it. It's just like the people who say "it's just a game" when talking about sports. Never considering how many children are saved or avoid horrible life paths or learn amazing traits because of sports. Like self accountability, structure, critical thinking, how to live for something more important then one's self and being apart of a group/community which vastly has a positive impact. And they don't even cover how sports bring together entire communities regardless of differences, races, politics and all that and has everyone rooting for one cause which helps keep communities doing well. So many people never can see the big picture in these things

    Everman was the bassist in OLD (previously called "Old Lady Drivers"), too. Check out their 'Lo Flux Tube' record. He's credited & pictured on there, although it was actually Plotkin (the guitarist) who laid down the bass tracks in the studio. Anyway, it's a good/crazy record.

    I was recently reading a Chris Cornell biography, and Jason was mentioned in a few pages. He was considered too quiet for the band to handle that it annoyed the rest of the band. The same problem he had in Nirvana. They felt as though he was too distant and lacked a sense of humor. But all that time, he knew that he didn't want to be in a rock n roll band whatsoever. Had different dreams than the rest of the band members. Side note: He payed for the whole Bleach album session and was never reimbursed. Didn't even ask for his money back. Tells you a lot about what a good soul he has. Edit: I know everyone is going by quotes here and there, trust me I get it, but I just came back from reading Chris Cornell's biography this past January for the first time, I knew very little about Jason and the details as to why he was fired and these sources that I got my from information, came from the members of those bands and the people who were actually there. This is still freshly new information that a year ago I never knew before. After reading the biography and then seeing Jason on the Joe Rogan podcast, it's clearly obvious that he is a very shy and quiet dude. I'm an introvert myself so I can pick up the vibe he presents. Trust me read the book .. or don't. Lol.

I actually had a small base w/ food and stuff on the side of an old cliff trail by the age of 12 and I was just wiring sticks together and making mud blocks I would anchor the sticks into and stuff. No idea what I was doing but I did it for years to where I had a bunch of hideouts all over the mountains around my little town....

    This guy has lived such an interesting life and is somehow still such a great dude. His whole attitude and demeanor is so inspiring. Not to mention, you really get the vibe that he's holding back quite a bit on a lot of the details and not even telling the whole story the way he has a right to. Really enjoyed this interview.

    He completely is. Why, is this dude leaving out so much. Its suspect to me. He played in MINDFUNK and played pretty big festivals in Europe and did interviews with the band.

    This is really my latest very favorite of Rogans.. this guy is an amazing story teller. I'm about 6 years older than you 2. And man I could relate to all of his stories. Wow. And i also. Live sound garden. And those type bands. I listened to KROQ. In the 1980s.1990s and on. It's an LA area alternative radio station. But I'm so amazed and blown away by this interview. I would love to hear more of this man's stories. Because he did say many times .... " that there is much more to the story.... I mean he brought up a lot. Amazing story teller. And interview
