Cameron Hanes doesn't do small talk. Every time the bowhunter and ultrarunner sits down with Joe Rogan, the conversation swings from broken feet and 250-mile races to government corruption, bear meat, and whatever supplement he's currently defending himself over. We pulled every one of his appearances from our full library of episode summaries and ranked them by how much they actually reveal, not just how long they run.
Below are all four Cameron Hanes episodes on the Joe Rogan Experience, starting with the ones packed tightest with reveals and specifics. Whether you're here for the training obsession, the public-land politics, or the marathon doping scandal, there's a clear entry point for you.
Joe Rogan Experience #2316 - Cameron Hanes
This one starts with Rogan trying to talk Hanes out of running the 250-mile Cocodona ultramarathon on a broken foot, at almost 60 years old, and Hanes confirming he's doing it anyway. From there it opens into a long tribute to forged willpower, including the detail that David Goggins was once 300 pounds before building himself into an ultrarunning machine, and Courtney Dauwalter going blind mid-race, cracking her head open, and still winning. Rogan also reveals he's been sober for two-plus months and says he feels stupid for waiting this long. Listen to this one if you want the fullest picture of the Keep Hammering ethos, plus a surprisingly deep detour into the ancient history of the bow and arrow.

The most contentious of the four, built around Cam publicly defending himself after a rival runner branded him a doper for running a 2:39:11 marathon at age 58, one of the fastest ever for his age group. Cam admits he'd used the peptide BPC-157 to heal a two-year-old broken foot and argues it isn't performance-enhancing, while revealing he's dropped TRT entirely and now runs better at 148 pounds with lower testosterone. The episode also digs into Senator Mike Lee's push to sell off federal public land and Cam's decision to skip a White House invite over the Iran war. This is the one for anyone following the doping controversy or the public-land fight directly.

Taped on the launch day of Cam and Joe's Kill Cliff 'Elk Blood' drink, this episode doubles as Cam's announcement that he quit his day job to run his own podcast, something he credits Rogan for pushing him toward for years. The conversation ranges from the brutal reality of predators, including a study where radio-collared brown bears killed roughly 34 moose and caribou calves each in 45 days, to a debunking of the viral Pfizer 'imagine the compliance' clip. Good pick if you want the origin story of Cam's business ventures alongside the usual bowhunting and supplement talk.

The gearhead's episode, with Cam walking through his archery setup down to the broadhead: an 80-plus-pound bow launching a 520-grain arrow at about 300 feet per second, and a Tooth of the Arrow broadhead that punched through 75 layers of cardboard in independent testing. He also recounts a Utah bull elk hunt where the shot came within two yards and the arrow broke off inside the animal's heart. Mixed in are peptide talk, UFC breakdowns, and John Danaher's philosophy on mastery. This is the pick for hunters who want the technical detail and the ethics-of-the-kill conversation in one place.
