Yep surprised me too.
Herzog did this for a reason. I’ve never not heard of him not being deliberate. So cool. Such a great filmmaker, storyteller, and artist. He’s on that Kubrick, lynch, Scorsese level of cinematic artist.
I wanted three hours of this. Two of the most interesting and eloquent men of our time. Storytellers of unequaled talent - together. Absolutely fascinating.

It was just getting started and I noticed I was halfway through. Damnit. But, what it lacks in duration it does NOT lack in content.
God. What a contrast. I was born in California in 1943. My brother and I would whine for soda or candy to my German great-aunt who was fostering us. She memorably said "What do you want me to do? Cut it out of my leg?" While it did shut us up, the aura of possibility still lingered. Could she? How fortunate we were.
Amazing guest. Arguably the greatest documentarian

Please take this advice for I never heeded it myself never spend a day doing something. You do not love . when the time comes and you were old and fragile. Nothing will be more important than the decision to spend as much time in your life doing something you love.
Werner is a very special man. I just adore him !
God I could listen to Werner all day
His conversational voice is exactly the same as his film narration. what an artist

I was thinking the same thing! It’s so cool
Werner Herzog is probably my favorite movie director of all time. His movies are totally unique & unlike anything else being made. His movies from early in his career from the 1970s are masterpieces.
WOW!!! I have loved this mans work since I was a teenager. I WAS NOT expecting to see him on this podcast. What an absolute treat.
Great interview. I wanted it to be 2 hours longer. Now I will proceed to fall in to a KZread hole of Werner Herzog interviews.

his memoir is something else. 16 hrs of the most insane stories
Well this moved up today's playlist to the top. What a wicked guest to have on.
Enlightening interview. Steve and Werner have starkly different world views. Every assumption Steve made towards Werner's intentions and perceptions were based on cold logic and harsh reality. Werner shot him down every time. Steve, you were talking to an artist long in tooth, not the mirror. This was a good opportunity to be inquisitive and receptive. An invigorating episode, chock full of misunderstandings on part of the interviewer. An excellent look into the meateating media-minded mogul that we all adore, revealing his hubris towards his own notoriety and boundless intellect. Werner was a wonderful guest.

It can be confusing to have dialogue with someone with such ego and perceived intelligence 😂 Steve had to work through the dripping condisention.

I respect Rinella but especially the comment at 54:20 was painful to hear. Jesus christ...
This should easily have 10x the views it does. Never expected a Steve & Werner crossover but I am so here for it.
I think this interview is better than other Herzog interviews because of the things these guys have in common. Not sure exactly what.
Someone has to make a full blown mini series on Werner Herzog's life. Each part a new chapter. What an amazing guest and awesome host. Much respect!
What a catch. Love me some Herzog. Fascinating guy. I saw him in person once just wandering around the Oktoberfest with his wife I believe. Was half tempted to bother him.
I have been waiting for this collaboration for a couple years now. I had faith that it was coming and it's finally here!
I will relisten to this conversation for years. Thank you, Steve, and thank you Mr. Herzog!
Can’t wait to see how Mr. Herzog does in trivia.
What a beautiful soul he is. Amazing guest Steve and crew! I feel honored just to hear him speak.
Grizzly Man was the first doc I've watched from Herzog. Awesome guest!
I love Werners observations about food. Reminds me of my depression era parents. Its wrong to waste food.
Talk about going outside your comfort zone Steve with this interview, NICE! Thank you and to Mr. Herzog also.
One of my favorite meateater podcasts episodes
This episode should have 10x the views. Fucking stellar.
This is one of the best talks to have ever taken place. We all can learn from these 2 gentlemen.
I’ve never understood the question, “Which is your favorite?” Every artist always answers the same way.
We need more podcasts from Steve like this. What an epic interview.
Thank you, Werner Hertzog, for knowing yourself and being the man you are. "Awe" inspiring.🙏❤️🌏🌿🕊🎵🎶🎵
Given how in demand W.H. must be for interviews, I'm assuming he is extremely guarded as to whom he grants access. A coup for Steve, and a great treat for MeatEater devotees. Well done Steve!
DEAR GOD PLEASE let there be a Part 2 one day! AMAZING stuff!
Great interview. Mr Herzog is truly a gifted storyteller. His voice and the way he narrates his films is heartwarming. Happy People is my all time favorite. After watching that film I too wanted to be there and experience that freedom and love of nature. Thank you Mr Herzog.
Didn't think The Meat Eater podcast would ever bring me to tears 😊 thank you Mr. Herzog
Outstanding! Mr. Herzog is a Legend! Thank You for this!
Holy smokes! Steve, you continue to bring us extraordinary stories and content. THANK YOU
Stuck in bed with covid. Can barely keep my eyes open without them watering, but I just had to watch this. What an amazing human to interview.
Oh man, I saw Grizzly Man, I was really crying during that documentary, bawling my tears out of my eyeballs
Herzog is incredible, I stopped everything to listen to this while at work, now I'm watching it.

awesome episode, great timing as I drive 17 hrs home from seeing family for the holidays
Few personalities in the hook and bullet world would consider interviewing Herzog.... But Steve does. Once again he leads the way. He will save our hunting heritage in North America
What an amazing conversation. Thank Steve.
Unbelievable to get Herzog. One of the most legendary humans of our era
I am so happy as a German
Happy People is one of the greatest stories ever told, right up there with Dersu Uzala.

International treasure. Top shelf conversation! Thanks!
Thank you for this interview. Amazing person with get story to tell.
Bravo, you bagged a legend.
I CALLED THIS, I thought he was going to be on when Ken Burns was on (equally awesome). Golly what a treat.
Great idea, Steave you are ahead of your time. Your knowledge and harisma is outstanding.
Great job Corinne! Huge guest.
Steve, what a terrific interview, you have such lovely instincts and brought the best from this interview. Such detail and color. I'm so impressed with both of you.
Wow. Had a total moment of worlds colliding when I saw this on my feed
I didnt believe it when i saw it! What a huge guest!
This brings me peace
Now I want to see Steve and Werner up at Steve's cabin in Alaska.
Stroszek 👌 one of my all time favorite movies
Incredible out of left field, mind blown get! Thank you gents
GOAT of filmmaking
That statement starting at 15:00. Amazing. Hits hard.

It's pretty incoherent. There is a schizophrenia in most modern Germans after the war. Not anything that he said is backed up by evidence but the propaganda is so pervasive before school, through school, throughout society. It's like someone being beaten and constantly told it's because they're bad It fk's Germans up. Has for several generations
This is so awesome. I remember Steve asking someone if they had seen Fitzcarraldo but never would have expected this.
Nice mix of Christoph Waltz and Arnold, really enjoyed that.
Great interview, could have listened for hours and hours.
Thank you Sir!!!!!
best episode yet. more like these please
I wish this was 3 times as long
What a great guest to have on.
Herzog is a legend!
There can only be one and Herzog is it .
“I envied them.. and when I see them on the screen, there’s only one wish: “Oh man, I would like to join them!”. This rawness is what makes Werner such a legendary filmmaker. Absolutely love this guy…
Can't wait to watch this. Amazing guest.
Steve got in trouble! "its a metaphor, not insanity" 😂😂 great podcast
Holy schnitzel! Happy People is utterly brilliant! Just pee'd a little seeing he's a guest.

I live 20 minutes from twin lake you are my hero
Great guest great interview
Any chance I have to listen to the dulcet tones of Mr. Herzog’s knowing voice, I do.
Stunning!
I felt bad for Steve. He's a legend and an alpha. Herzog is a talisman of humanity. It's hard to relax like that. Herzog staff should have known that Rinella is a higher quality network than many others and given 3hrs
Really good interview . Thanks
I now really want a one on one podcast series with just Steve and a guest! Not knocking the regular podcast by any means, the one on one interview is just always different
hugeee guest. Nicely done
Great interview really enjoyed it whilst out fishing morcombe Bay uk.
Biggest flex of your career. So good.
I'm glad he didn't include that audio, and I'm not surprised he was willing to do battle to keep it out of there. If you're curious what a man being slaughtered and eaten by a Grizzly Bear sounds like, you should spend time wondering why. I can't imagine a more terrifying, brutal, and terrible way to die. And you want to hear what it sounds like? I have more respect for Werner than almost all of the artists I look up to, and I would have lost some of that if he had. Just as a side note, I had to pickup Werner from that house they're in once early in the morning to take him to the airport, and just let me say meeting your heroes is typically disappointing, but not in his case. He is exactly as he appears, and I wish I had been able to drive him to where ever his plane was going.
Did Steve fly half way around the world for an hour’s chat with WH in Germany? Worth it.
Hello from New Orleans Louisiana, My Great Uncle's had a Saloon in Anchorage Alaska during the 1900's. Robert Service, and Jack London would join my Uncle Jack Tansey on his steamship for card games... The family lore is similar to these wonderful antidotes.
Living legend.
Thank you, amazing.
Well done. Thanks ❤.
Loved it.
Take example a true joyful greatful human we should all try to be like this best show yet!
This is fantastic
Huge fan. He’s an amazing talent 👍👍👍👍👍
YES!
This was really good!
