The Joe Rogan Experience
#2280 - Peter Berg

And about kind of how we present it is I've had a lot of people come to me and go, dude, I never knew the Mormons were such savages. So gangster. They were fucking gangster. Brigham Young was, in my opinion, a gangster, a survivor, a warrior. And for anyone who follows Mormon history.

You know, they started in upstate New York with this young kid, Joseph Smith, who found these tablets and basically rewrote the Bible and started getting this following. And then they moved to Missouri and they got popular. And then there was an extermination order. And it was kill all the Mormons.

So they fled to Illinois and tried to survive up there at this place called Nauvoo that was going to be their peaceful place to live. And Joseph Smith was murdered, and they were run out of Illinois. And Brigham Young led these dudes, men and women, on foot across the plains in the winter to Salt Lake Valley, which was this desolate wasteland. And he said, oh, we'll stay here.

They'll never come for us here. And they started coming. And Brigham Young basically said, fuck it. We're not taking it anymore. He built his own army, the Nauvoo Legion. And he said, we're staying here. We won't mess with you. But if you come after us, we will fight. And that point I think is interesting.

And I think Brigham Young, who survived longer than all of them, and if you go to Salt Lake City, he did a pretty good job. Right? That's a big city, man. It's a great city. And I don't know. I respect the Mormon religion. I respect Brigham Young. And I feel like we make him look like a gangster in American Primeval. And I don't know. He's...

I mean, the polygamy was a thing, and we do touch upon that a bit in Primeval. I think Brigham Young had 40-odd wives. Nice. How do you fucking keep up with two? I don't know. I don't understand how someone could have two wives. That's a whole other conversation. I mean, I have a friend who lives in Saudi Arabia. And a long time ago, I was in Saudi Arabia doing some work.

And I had asked him, because in Saudi, you can have multiple wives, Saudi men. And I had asked him about that and sort of like, wow, that's amazing, multiple wives. That's so cool. And we were leaving Riyadh Airport and he was walking with me and there was a man in front of us and he was holding like five suitcases and he could barely walk. And there were four women around him and kids everywhere.
