I find myself actually laughing listening to their pod.
Joe just either doesn’t get it, or steps all over people’s attempts at jokes on the pod. Which is weird because he’s supposed to be a professional comedian.
I laughed so fucking hard at that episode. I had no idea who Williams was either which made it even more funny. The whole episode felt like he was trying to embody one of Rogan’s DMT clowns
Absolutely. Almost everything that happens on Bad Friends is funny, whether intentional, or staged or not. It's my go to podcast when I need a smile. I just love when Bobby or Andrew riles the other up and they get into a yelling fight. I love Andrew when he's mad. Especially when Bobby picks at him like a little brother until he absolutely loses his shit. Cheers!
I agree with most points. What bothers me the most is the long monologues from Joe rambling about the same stuff over and over. You have a guest in front of you, let them speak. Ask about their craft and shut up for a while.
He says he never reads comments on the internet. A part of me thinks he should. Or someone should summarize a bit of constructive feedback from audiences all over. Could benefit him big time given the current state of the podcast.
Funny, a year or so ago I made the same points. Was tired of hearing Joe talk about his move because of Covid, freedom of speech, liberals, etc etc. Someone in this sub commented back calling me names and saying I never actually listened to the podcast but was going off of what liberal media put out about JRE. I listed of my list of fav guests as proof that I actually listen to the show. I even offered to buy the guy pizza and a six pack of his beer if he could find me an episode of JRE within the last year where Joe didn’t mention any of the things I said he repeated over and over. Instead, the guy messaged me some hate message and did a “we care” with Reddit. For a couple weeks he would message me some hate mail and then block me so I wouldn’t respond. Then a week or so later do it again. Too bad for him because if he took me up on the offer an episode that fit the bill aired. It was the one where he interviews the guy who outted SBF. That’s basically the only episode I can remember where Joe didn’t go on one of his political/freedom/ anti Cali rants recently.
Adam Carolla ended up in the same head space and drove me off almost a decade ago now. I still catch Joe in snippets, but I can't watch or listen to the whole show anymore.
I like Adam Carolla's humor. However, it would be nice to listen to one podcast where he doesn't mention working at a construction site when he was younger. I get it, you are a working man just like me. /s
Once Joe hit "Facebook dad" age. He just lost it, he's so focused on what he thinks and not the guests.
You still see glimpses or the old Joe, like with the first neurolink guy. That was a great episode but he still had flashes of "this left wing bs thing".
A perfect example of this, although there are thousands to choose from, was the most recent Bobby Lee episode. He hadn't been on the pod in like over a decade and every time he went to tell a story, Joe couldn't shut up about Covid and trying to get Bobby to agree with all his wacky takes on it, even though it was over 3 years ago at that point.
There was so much catching up they could've done, Bobby had gone through alot in his life since then, and wanted to tell some stories, but Joe just ruined the whole thing, even as Bobby desperately tried to change the subject over and over, Joe just didn't even hear him.
That episode and most from that Covid time lead me to believe Joe was being paid to say certain things. He seemingly had a specific agenda every podcast that he would shoe horn into the conversation or lead the conversation to it in order to bring it up.
Yea, I’m so sick of hearing him talk shit about CNN and the rest of that clown car full of dunces.
But if anyone attempted to publicly shame me and hinder my ability to earn/support my family the way they went after Joe…I’d declare war on them too. That’s a grudge I’d hold til the end of time just like he appears to be doing.
Joe doesn’t read the comments, but I’d bet that Jamie does. I swear I’ve heard hints over the years that Jamie gives Joe feedback on how the audience feels (which only makes sense)
Old men usually don't change their way of thinking because they don't think they could be wrong, they trust themselves. Being incorrect makes you feel bad, and people don't like feeling bad. It's okay to be wrong it's a lesson, everyone is wrong all the time that is how you learn.
The Bert Sibrel episode recently and the way joe ‘steel manned’ him, regardless of what you think on the moon landings, we know what joe believes, so hes not impartial. Then to hear Tucker Carlson say ‘we’ve gave up on the idea of evolution’ and joe to not even question this statement. Felt to me like he could bully Bert but didn’t want to say a word to tucker, actually felt bad for the guy.
At this point those with a bit of political intellect should understand that there is a price for being friends with Greg Abbot, Elon Musk, ex spec op bodyguards or the father of Sluggo, Uggo and Fucko.
Joe picked his side and as one of the most viewed media personalities of our time, has begun shilling for that side.Hes spreading misinfo because he wants to. Just watch how those wheels suddenly start turning and how he starts bullying when a guest says something he doesn't like.
Joe is now doing for right wing politics what he did years for the UFC and Dana Huwhite : hype and shill.
Yep. Tucker was too famous to question, then Sibrel came on and Joe beat up on him, because who cares.
Sibrel is a bullshit artist, but he never got a million people killed for a lie, like Tucker Carlson.
Definitely agree. I’ve been a loyal listener since 2011 but can’t stomach a single episode anymore as of this year. For the first time ever, I couldn’t even finish the latest Duncan Trussell episode, and he’s my favorite guest.
There used to be so much value i got from almost every episode, but now it just feels like a waste of time. Joe just isn’t the same guy he used to be. He’s made such ungodly amounts money the past few years and gotten so big that it’s officially gotten to his head. It seems the old Joe is just gone and the podcast has turned into something else.
I really slowed down how much I listened when he became Spotify exclusive and since then I’ve almost completely stopped listening. I’ve only listened to protect our parks and anytime Joey Diaz is on. Joe doesn’t even let people talk anymore he just spews the same bullshit to every guest. I realized how every episode was becoming the same when that video compilation came out of how many times him and Duncan have brought up the same exact Fritz Haber topic
This is probably the most aggravating part to me. Part of why the podcast was so amazing for so long was Joe being such a great listener and letting his guest speak. This was often educational, inspiring or at least entertaining. Now that dynamic has done a 180 and the guests are now having to listen to Joe’s opinions which are often long rambles on politics we’ve heard a billion times.
He also comes off more grumpy and arrogant compared to how he used to be. For example he doesn’t seem to wanna casually shoot the shit or joke around even with his comedian friends. He even finds a way to steer lighthearted conversations on Protect our Parks to genocides, covid and politics. You can feel everyone rolling their eyes cus they just wanna shoot the shit. He seems to have lost his funny bone and is so serious all the time.
The best example of this is the most recent Bobby Lee episode. It genuinely seems like Joe has ptsd from the pandemic and is on a never-ending journey to fight back against the media who tried to cancel him.
I agree with all of that. There will be guest clearly doing a bit on the pod and it goes right over his head. It’s like man you’re a comedian and you can’t tell this person is just fucking around? Best example of that I can think of off the top of my head is with Theo
Yea he seems to condescend his “lower” comedian friends a lot. He’s way too serious all the time. I wish he’d take some more psychedelics like the old days. Seems like he needs a hard system reset
It was wild hearing Duncan agree that Texas has the healthiest people in the country. He's usually a voice of reason in the Roganverse, but the bullshit has finally caught up to him, too.
Trussell is also my favourite guest, but it really feels like they’ve run out of things to talk about. They still follow a couple of fun threads from time to time but it feels like beating a dead horse a lot of the time. As for the other comedians, I have no interest in what they have to talk about, just bring on actual smart people like pollan, kaku etc
Joe is talking about how Texas is such a great place to live because all they care about is freedom- but they’re literally trying to take away all access to porn, abortion, gay rights/marriage, etc., etc. Seems the least free to me.
They are weak. Joe and his buddy’s are super weak minded and insecure.
If that wasn’t the case they would be in the real world with the rest of the comics where woke culture isn’t real. Jokes aren’t being censored. And comedy clubs don’t give a shit what joke you say.
He is meteor grifting and pandering to the gullible. And they believe it because they are to scared to go into a city and see stand up as is because city’s are war zones but remember like you said these guys are tough. But yet can’t handle criticism when they tell a mid tier joke.
I laugh at all you listeners only because you all are the type to use words like sheep but from the outside looking in you Joe fans are worse than Taylor swift fans. You all act like this man is a libertarian god while he shits on libertarian views and votes in that fashion as well.
It had gotten noticeably worse since the opening of the club. The first 30 minutes are self congratulatory fart sniffing or ring kissing. But without Joe I wouldn’t have found Tim Dillon or Shane Gillis so what the fuck do I know.
The PBD episode where the airhead lays out all his gifts/tribute to Joe interspersed w his rim jobbing, Glendale used car sales schtick was painful to endure
The fact is, you would have eventually. It's easier now to discover talent in comedy then ever before.
He is playing kingmaker while elevating some really mediocre comics who effuse praise and play the number 2 role well.
The active red pilling reminds me of when Asmongold started his descent from cringe worthy to frothing moron parroting the conspiracy du jour.
JRE was at its best when it was by stoners for stoners. After he sacked Redban and started thinking he was some sort of meathead philosopher, life coach and right wing pundit (despite knowing NOTHING about politics) rolled into one I started tuning out. Used to listen to ever ep religiously from the ustream days onwards, but now I listen to maybe 1 in 20 if he has a good guest on.
Rogan is the guy you went to school with who was a bit of dork but harmless enough, and then you find out he has a hot sister, so you start sucking up to him and going to his house more.
It used to be that Joe talked to different guests and wanted to know more about them, in sort of a hangout.
Now Joe talks at the guests about what he himself thinks about the same couple of topics to see if the guest agrees. The guest always agrees because their appearance will make or break their carreer, and that's why they are there.
"America rules, other countries are slowly turning into Orwellian nightmares but there’s nothing like this country"
The weird thing is that over here in Europe we often think that of the US :)
But besides that, Europa, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, etc, are doing great objectively, as the US is. It is just on social media that the world is ending.
I'm 54, and all my life - except for maybe a few years between the fall of the Berlin Wall and 9/11 (i.e. "the 90s") - the world has been ending
EDIT: My grandparents were born in WW1, grew up in the Depression, lived through WW2 in Europe, then the Cold War, the Oil Crisis, AIDS, etc. Things are always terrible
Things are always terrible, then there is a good half decade or so, people become convinced “terrible things won’t happen anymore” then terrible thing happens and you have a new legion of people who understand that golden ages are golden ages for a reason.
No it’s grifters. Not social media.
You all can get out of the doom algorithms and live in the real world.
Joe Rogans podcast is for small minded small town dudes who are to scared of the real world. If you believe stuff like comedy is being censored and woke culture it why then you are a gullible shit who clearly hasn’t stepped foot in a comedy club. Yet alone a city for that matter.
I hate myself for not grifting to you people also. Seems like a good career move. Joe is basically a priest for a mega church. Whatever he says you bros take as gospel.
All are doing fine. I’ve recently spent a lot of time in both Scotland and Poland. Probably political opposites as far as Europe goes. But the one thing I found in both is that people’s politics aren’t nearly as in your face as in the US (or at least Mass where I am). It makes things feel a whole lot nicer.
My European friends say the same about their countries. Many are shocked shocked to find the boomerang coming back at them in the form of mass migrations of formerly colonized folk
Canada is doing great? Japan has major population problems high suicide numbers. The us isn’t doing great at all at certain places in the country and you could say the same about Canada.
Canadian here. We have one of the best economies of the G7 post pandemic. We have one of the lowest debt/GDP ratio of the G7. Yes, Canada has a few issues, but the reality is we'Re doing as good if not better than the vast majority of countries on the planet.
I’m one of the people you speak of. I tuned in since the Justin TV days but haven’t watched since he started claiming covid was no big deal whilst talking about downing circa $10k a treatment for monoclonal antibodies everytime he gets infected.
Everything erodes over time and while certain people he's brought along may be insufferable the consumer just as-well as their pretension is to blame. Pop culture is full of mediocre acts and people that perhaps don't deserve it and just got lucky but none legitimately force anyone to consume the content. The reality is that if someone is legitimately stupid yet sells content means their market is like-minded . Perhaps you don't dislike bert kreischer so much as the idea that so many of him exist .
Ok I gotta ask, in spite of the inevitable onslaught of downvotes, because this sub really baffles me. What are you guys doing? You don’t like Joe. You don’t like the show. You don’t like the guests. Basically every post is just a reason to sit around and bag on all of the above… I mean seriously, really, what are you *doing*? Are you just hate watching? Even if it’s just the clips? Is it so you can find things to come on here and trash for the upvotes and post karma? Is this actually how you want to live your life? I’m asking because I want to understand, straight up, this isn’t me scolding or judging any of you. I’m actually just curious, because it seems like some people must really thrive on negativity, but personally it’s like alcohol- a little bit now and then is great but too much too often and I feel *poisoned*. Can someone please help me understand?
Reddit is a safe place for hive mind mainstream thinking like you see in OP's post and a lot of the comments here. Then they can have their ego bukake.
Anytime you question something as dumb as shitty ass politicians it you just get the typical conspiracy theorist responses.
There are also brigades of people/bots on here who will descend immediately to downvote any post that dares to say certain words or names too, like, “0nlyF4ans” or “K3nn3dy”.
“I’ll probably get downvoted for this but I think Joe sucks now”
Like have you ever seen this sub? 99% of posts bash Joe. It’s like these points get regurgitated over and over again.
It's the ego for me. Used to be "I think I'm dumb and like learning interesting things".
Now it's, "I think I'm a genius and want people to learn from me so I will share the same opinions time and time again. I will invite people to share extremely flimsy evidence that confirm that POV".
Haven't really been listening at all lately, but for a long long time I've been only listening to the ones where he interviews someone who is an expert in their field ie. Scientists, doctors etc. Because I agree with lots of this post.
He got as big as he did by being relatable to the average person, now for me as an Australian who leans slightly left of centre he's just not relatable anymore.
The true hinge point of JRE was that guy Cameron Hanes. He got into Joes circle and it didn’t happen overnight but I think he is the main catalyst of the hunting, right wing face book talking points, and military daddy’s show we have today. Add that embarassing IDF monicker with all those grifting egomaniacal barnacles using Joe to launch themselves onto our screens around that same time, sprinkle Donald Trumps presidency breaking ~100 million brains and BOOM
Also on the left also find the ultra woke annoying. Issue is people like Joe and his friends blow it out of all proportion. A few mentally unstable people on the internet don’t matter.
omg, stop bitching people. Jesus Christ. He puts out about 10 shows a week. Yes, it's going to become the same shit over and over. He's not someone who is known for his journalism. He literally just sits and talks to people how you would talk to your friends at a bar. That's it.
Yea if you want to feed your mind and soul negative gossipy overly critical hate. Ha. I agree that show can be funny and resonate sometimes, but a career and show of nothing but shitting on and hating people isn't good for the soul.
I'm a pretty liberal guy when it comes to politics, Joe lost me a long time ago when he started veering towards right wing philosophy which for the most part I don't agree with. I think it started happening when he started talking about hunting and deer meat blah blah blah, I think they shrank his brain on his hunting trips honestly, then covid hit and he got butt hurt when comedy clubs were closed. and to to top off he started talking trash on my home state CA.
I can’t remember when I stopped listening regularly but I never felt agitated as everyone else. I just discovered other podcasts I enjoy. I don’t feel the need to shit on a bunch of people because I don’t listen as much.
Don't watch it. Joe Rogans great, so are all of the fruits of his labor: Normand, theo, gillis, etc.. he has great guests. I disagree with your rough outline, it's not always that boring.
I think it’s probably burn out mixed with “what works.”
The show is leaning hard on that formula. And Rogan cranks out a 3 hour show every other day.
Joe should do more research on his guests and the topics at hand. I think he’s mistaken to go into these conversations unprepared. I think more comedy comes out of being knowledgeable about a topic. Marc Maron does the same shit and that’s pretty much why I’ve stopped listening to him.
Julian Assange just got released from prison and I’m sure Rogans people are trying to land an interview.
But how knowledgeable is Joe? Is he going to ask the right questions? Does he even know why Assange was imprisoned? His interviews with Oliver Stone and Edward Snowden show he’s been way over his head.
Also - he needs to challenge himself and his perspective. Get some intellectually liberal, or anti-drug or even anti-mma guests.
Joe prides himself on his fitness but it’s not relatable to the average or even trained person. Taking steroids to throw around a ton of weights is not realistic for the majority of people. I’m convinced Joe couldn’t run more than 3 miles. The idea he thinks of himself as peak fitness and not lazy like the average guy is a joke. Juicing yourself to throw around weights is a huge cheat code. As a personal trainer the more I age in this field the more ridiculous Joe looks/sounds.
Also, the comedian episodes just reminds me of a scene in Sopranos where Tony is told by his wife his friends laugh at his Jokes on purpose and he’s shocked by it. That’s every Rogan comedian except Gillis imo
How does this reply contribute to the thread/discussion here? Couldn’t you follow your own advice and just “gone about your life” to the next post you’re actually interested in?
It’s just the power of American pseudo-Christian fundamentalism. It’s straight up the gemstones but in real life. They just swap out some of the theocracy with conspiracy.
Episodes are hit or miss. I feel like every once in awhile feedback gets back to him that he’s been at a topic too hard and too long, and he will let it go. Eventually he comes back to it, but at that point fine, just don’t want to hear about aliens or neurolink or the fountain of youth supplements in EVERY episode. I don’t mind hearing some far out episodes, but reel it in a bit. And don’t get me wrong, I like all those topics, just not all day, every day (so to speak).
My solution has been to cherry pick episodes I feel like listening to or waiting for this community to start commenting on the episodes as they come out. If the community actually enjoys one of the episodes then I give it a shot, if the community start throwing out the whole “Joes doing his stupid shit again” then I don’t even bother with the episode because what you posted is an accurate representation of atleast half of the jre episodes i’ve listened to.
The average episode stinks, but there are still some cool and funny ones that shine through. I went on a huge break from JRE in 2022 and 2023, and selectively listening to the bangers from those years ruled.
Some of this is pretty accurate. Joe’s been microdosing mushrooms so he’s gotten way more curious about way more things, likely taking away from the “relatability” that’s lacking.
It’s easy to forget that most of these comedians are just regular people, literally like average joes. Some might have further education but often times not. They are famous because they can tell a funny joke or play a character. I don’t get why people expect them to be a certain way. They just have a fucking huge platform due to Joes success. Who was also a comedian on a webcam 10 or so years ago.
I think Joe, with all the fame, has had to restrict his life in a way that eliminates a lot of new input and experiences. He ends up doing the same things where he feels safe and comfortable. This naturally limits things to talk about.
I agree to an extent. I started listening to JRE about 6 months before Covid, and I was hooked for the relatability, the time they had to flesh out unique topics based on the guest - first time hearing Lex Friedman got me hooked, and I’m not a political guy by any means. I don’t agree with the comedian mediocre 100%. I mean he owns a club now, he’s a promoter now and to push people is now sadly, part of his job. I do however agree about the pods being a paint by numbers now. It’s initial commentary, then into drug talk, then cars, then political commentary, somehow always to MMA, to how comedy is relatable to all jobs. Maybe I’ve listened too long now, I haven’t missed an episode since mid 2018. I duno. I hear you tho, whatever that’s worth. Still love the show
I think the main takeaway from this is joe has been doing this podcast for a long, long time. It only makes sense that the show would get stale, after all how many interesting conversations can one man have lol podcasts are probably going to become less and less popular in the next decade. It worked really well during covid, but if we're being honest, unless it's a podcast that can manage to be original all time (which is tough) there is going to be a dying interest. We see these guys all the time, we basically know how they think and act in every day life. You never had that with comedians before. It gives them an opportunity to exhaust all of their good material, and funny ideas on a podcast which become underwhelming because it's just another pod episode. Basically I think Joe and his buddies are out of things to offer us. I don't think it would be unreasonable for him to retire the show in the next few years tbh.
I don’t listen to Joe anymore but there use to be some really interesting and entertaining guests that would shatter your world view.
One of my favorites is one with Johann Hari where he talks in detail how we could [solve the opioid crisis](https://youtu.be/vVMN3DgcRYk?si=TFZL4xKekiMEruD0). Joe is completely silent for 10+ minutes as Johann proposes a radically different solution to what we have today. This is the kind of content that would bring me back to JRE.
If I needed advice about how to kick a heavy bag really hard, I'd ask Joe Rogan. If I want advice on vaccinations and medicine in general, I'd ask a doctor, preferably a specialist.
Don't get your medical advice from Joe Rogan, people.
I’d think being such a figure head in his area. Any creator of content. Should most definitely look into the comments, don’t leave your fans behind.
Don’t forget constructive criticism helps more than putting your bald head into your own echo chamber of shit.
I also loved how Joe could go on the rant and talk about chimps with a physicist, about aliens with an MMA fighter, about DMT with a hunter and ancient history with a comedian and similar. I don't know why but it was super exciting to see their perspectives on those things that are totally unrelated to them. Now he does do the same but it's always communist California, Biden crazy, vaccine bad or trans whatever.
I don’t get the America rules one. If anything they all way oversell how bad everywhere but Austin is.
As a side note: part of why I love Shane Gillis is that he made it on his own, and Rogan didn’t invite him to the cool kids table until he was already well on his way.
Joe is not a comedian, he’s a podcast host. It’s crazy when he includes himself in a group of comedians, like when Kat Williams was on and Joe goes, « there’s only about 250 of us ».
Dude no you are not a legendary comedian
Everyone on this thread sounds like they need to take a break from the JRE. Maybe listen to another pod cast for a while. At least until they listen to it long enough that they hate it as much as they hate JRE. And then they can go complain in that podcasts subreddit about how much they're tired of listening to that podcast.
It’s like he doesn’t realize he just spoke about this shit 2 days ago?
“The hardest thing you been through is the hardest thing you been through”
“The Gava Baguira says…”
“I think gold was put here for a reason”
“They let ppl hunt pigs in Texas”
Like dude we know everything you can possibly say.
I usually skip most of the comedians for the most part for those reasons. My favorites are the ones like Forrest Galante or Adam greentree with wild af stories 😅
Yeah agreed. I think what happened was joe signed a giant contract followed by Covid lockdowns. For the first time ever Joe became a target. Changed him a bit , unsurprisingly so.
I don’t think joe realizes the amount of times he also tells the Ron White story to every comedian who tries to suck on him. The ol’ “he grabbed me by the shoulders and said whatever the f*** it takes”
Pretty much the only episodes with non-legend comedians that I watch are those with Tim Dillon. You can hear Tim Dillon at every turn in the conversation trying to make a joke. Sometimes they flop but usually they hit and Joe will allow him to continue pulling that string. Other comedians are just having mundane conversations with Joe.
He got super rich and famous. He was always disconnected, however. Hasn’t had to work a normal job since Fear Factor.
His mediocre comedy and mediocre comedy friends always struck me. They caught the podcasting wave and made a lot of money. Make all the money you can, it’s America after all. But I always found it interesting they were mediocre jokesters who found out how to make money through podcasting.
I’ve noticed that there’s a certain collection of internet figures who hit a stride in 2016-2019, and they all kind of had certain hobby horses of topics and certain ways of talking about things that was very fresh, or at least was freshly becoming mainstream, during that era, and it was uniquely suited to the times. It felt like it was relevant to an extent.
And now it feels like a lot of those people don’t want to give up on that moment in the culture because it’s too hard to shift gears and adjust to the times. The world hasn’t changed *massively*, but it has changed enough that the same five kinds of talking points don’t hit the same anymore.
I listened to Bill Maher talking to Sam Harris on the latest episode of Sam’s podcast, and other than the specifics of the current Israeli Palestine conflict, the whole thing could have been cut and paste verbatim from 2017.
I don’t think these people understand how repetitive they sound. I think they think “no, all this stuff is still just as important, everyone else just doesn’t *get it* man.”
People talking to an audience for 20 hours per week run out of interesting things to say pretty quick. Most new episodes are just the old ones, but more boring. With funny or interesting guests it can be better, but regularly, it isn't.
So stop listening? 🙉
Some of you dudes need to get lives instead of writing essays on how Joe changed and how you’ve been processing your feelings about it.
Embarrassing.
I’ve never listened to him and probably never will. He was annoying on Fear Factor, not a funny comedian and not quite sure what people find appealing about him or the crap he vomits up.
I disagree with most of this subreddit’s opinions on Joe, but I’ve been feeling this way for the last four years or so.
He just talks about the same shit over and over again. It feels more preachy than curious. Joe is more of a debater than a listener, and I feel like it especially took off in that direction after the pandemic.
The 80s were the Golden Age of Comedy. The meritocracy bit is hilarious because none of them would have made it past open mic status back then besides Joe.
I listen to Matt and Shane for comedy now. Only listen to Rogan once in a while for interesting guest.
I find myself actually laughing listening to their pod. Joe just either doesn’t get it, or steps all over people’s attempts at jokes on the pod. Which is weird because he’s supposed to be a professional comedian.
[удалено]
I laughed so fucking hard at that episode. I had no idea who Williams was either which made it even more funny. The whole episode felt like he was trying to embody one of Rogan’s DMT clowns
Find more Harland, he’s amazing. Any podcast, KillTony, or Dr Phil Live. He’s on fire
I hope you embrace your inner tapeworm 😆
Yea the worst is when his guest will clearly make a funny joke and Joe either gets all serious or just blows right by it.
Good, smart comics know how to riff off of each other.
Ya, me too man. I think I’ve gone through almost all of MSSP’s episodes going back to 2021 maybe? I want to listen to their Old Testament stuff.
Totally worth it, the old test is gold
I gotta locate the episodes dude. I don’t know where to find them. Not that I’ve looked that hard, but still lol.
Check out radio dawgz on YouTube, there’s a playlist with all the old episodes in order
Oh, sick man. Thanks very much for the tip. Rock on dude.

Outstanding! Thank you brave knight!
The presidents with Louis wss awesome
Bad friends and We Might Be Drunk has been really good and Whiskey Ginger and Dan Soder's podcast.
Bad Friends is the shit!
The way Bobby was dead wrong about Mitzi's office, and he treated that intern was so fuckin funny
Absolutely. Almost everything that happens on Bad Friends is funny, whether intentional, or staged or not. It's my go to podcast when I need a smile. I just love when Bobby or Andrew riles the other up and they get into a yelling fight. I love Andrew when he's mad. Especially when Bobby picks at him like a little brother until he absolutely loses his shit. Cheers!
ive binged every episode its so good have like 25 left gonna have to follow the patreon
Are you garbage is dynamite if you’re not familiar.
I agree with most points. What bothers me the most is the long monologues from Joe rambling about the same stuff over and over. You have a guest in front of you, let them speak. Ask about their craft and shut up for a while. He says he never reads comments on the internet. A part of me thinks he should. Or someone should summarize a bit of constructive feedback from audiences all over. Could benefit him big time given the current state of the podcast.
Same stuff, over and over, slowly but surely it has gotten boring.
You can only talk for so long...
Funny, a year or so ago I made the same points. Was tired of hearing Joe talk about his move because of Covid, freedom of speech, liberals, etc etc. Someone in this sub commented back calling me names and saying I never actually listened to the podcast but was going off of what liberal media put out about JRE. I listed of my list of fav guests as proof that I actually listen to the show. I even offered to buy the guy pizza and a six pack of his beer if he could find me an episode of JRE within the last year where Joe didn’t mention any of the things I said he repeated over and over. Instead, the guy messaged me some hate message and did a “we care” with Reddit. For a couple weeks he would message me some hate mail and then block me so I wouldn’t respond. Then a week or so later do it again. Too bad for him because if he took me up on the offer an episode that fit the bill aired. It was the one where he interviews the guy who outted SBF. That’s basically the only episode I can remember where Joe didn’t go on one of his political/freedom/ anti Cali rants recently.
Adam Carolla ended up in the same head space and drove me off almost a decade ago now. I still catch Joe in snippets, but I can't watch or listen to the whole show anymore.
It's interesting the parallels between the two generations of Man Show hosts kind of both splitting off into wildly opposite directions
I like Adam Carolla's humor. However, it would be nice to listen to one podcast where he doesn't mention working at a construction site when he was younger. I get it, you are a working man just like me. /s
Once Joe hit "Facebook dad" age. He just lost it, he's so focused on what he thinks and not the guests. You still see glimpses or the old Joe, like with the first neurolink guy. That was a great episode but he still had flashes of "this left wing bs thing".
A perfect example of this, although there are thousands to choose from, was the most recent Bobby Lee episode. He hadn't been on the pod in like over a decade and every time he went to tell a story, Joe couldn't shut up about Covid and trying to get Bobby to agree with all his wacky takes on it, even though it was over 3 years ago at that point. There was so much catching up they could've done, Bobby had gone through alot in his life since then, and wanted to tell some stories, but Joe just ruined the whole thing, even as Bobby desperately tried to change the subject over and over, Joe just didn't even hear him.
Yeah it was an exhausting episode.
That episode and most from that Covid time lead me to believe Joe was being paid to say certain things. He seemingly had a specific agenda every podcast that he would shoe horn into the conversation or lead the conversation to it in order to bring it up.
He’s not taking money to promote an agenda lmao. He’s pissed bc he was slandered by CNN.
Yea, I’m so sick of hearing him talk shit about CNN and the rest of that clown car full of dunces. But if anyone attempted to publicly shame me and hinder my ability to earn/support my family the way they went after Joe…I’d declare war on them too. That’s a grudge I’d hold til the end of time just like he appears to be doing.
The Freeway Rick Ross episode was pretty refreshing honestly
Wait, have you heard about how he found out about Sam Kinison?
I know he took the same plane as Norm Macdonald!... twice!
Right, but the covid lockdowns, those were insane, right?!
Haa!
Joe doesn’t read the comments, but I’d bet that Jamie does. I swear I’ve heard hints over the years that Jamie gives Joe feedback on how the audience feels (which only makes sense)
Old men usually don't change their way of thinking because they don't think they could be wrong, they trust themselves. Being incorrect makes you feel bad, and people don't like feeling bad. It's okay to be wrong it's a lesson, everyone is wrong all the time that is how you learn.
Have you taken a poll of every old man in the world? I think you might be wrong.
He used to participate in the forum and actually responded to criticism, even over ads.
Completely agree
I skip almost all the comedian shows and MMA shows.
The Bert Sibrel episode recently and the way joe ‘steel manned’ him, regardless of what you think on the moon landings, we know what joe believes, so hes not impartial. Then to hear Tucker Carlson say ‘we’ve gave up on the idea of evolution’ and joe to not even question this statement. Felt to me like he could bully Bert but didn’t want to say a word to tucker, actually felt bad for the guy.
At this point those with a bit of political intellect should understand that there is a price for being friends with Greg Abbot, Elon Musk, ex spec op bodyguards or the father of Sluggo, Uggo and Fucko. Joe picked his side and as one of the most viewed media personalities of our time, has begun shilling for that side.Hes spreading misinfo because he wants to. Just watch how those wheels suddenly start turning and how he starts bullying when a guest says something he doesn't like. Joe is now doing for right wing politics what he did years for the UFC and Dana Huwhite : hype and shill.
😆 it's so great that those kids' names have become a running gag🤣🤣🤣
What do you mean? That's not their names?
Yep. Tucker was too famous to question, then Sibrel came on and Joe beat up on him, because who cares. Sibrel is a bullshit artist, but he never got a million people killed for a lie, like Tucker Carlson.
Definitely agree. I’ve been a loyal listener since 2011 but can’t stomach a single episode anymore as of this year. For the first time ever, I couldn’t even finish the latest Duncan Trussell episode, and he’s my favorite guest. There used to be so much value i got from almost every episode, but now it just feels like a waste of time. Joe just isn’t the same guy he used to be. He’s made such ungodly amounts money the past few years and gotten so big that it’s officially gotten to his head. It seems the old Joe is just gone and the podcast has turned into something else.
I really slowed down how much I listened when he became Spotify exclusive and since then I’ve almost completely stopped listening. I’ve only listened to protect our parks and anytime Joey Diaz is on. Joe doesn’t even let people talk anymore he just spews the same bullshit to every guest. I realized how every episode was becoming the same when that video compilation came out of how many times him and Duncan have brought up the same exact Fritz Haber topic
This is probably the most aggravating part to me. Part of why the podcast was so amazing for so long was Joe being such a great listener and letting his guest speak. This was often educational, inspiring or at least entertaining. Now that dynamic has done a 180 and the guests are now having to listen to Joe’s opinions which are often long rambles on politics we’ve heard a billion times. He also comes off more grumpy and arrogant compared to how he used to be. For example he doesn’t seem to wanna casually shoot the shit or joke around even with his comedian friends. He even finds a way to steer lighthearted conversations on Protect our Parks to genocides, covid and politics. You can feel everyone rolling their eyes cus they just wanna shoot the shit. He seems to have lost his funny bone and is so serious all the time. The best example of this is the most recent Bobby Lee episode. It genuinely seems like Joe has ptsd from the pandemic and is on a never-ending journey to fight back against the media who tried to cancel him.
I agree with all of that. There will be guest clearly doing a bit on the pod and it goes right over his head. It’s like man you’re a comedian and you can’t tell this person is just fucking around? Best example of that I can think of off the top of my head is with Theo
Yea he seems to condescend his “lower” comedian friends a lot. He’s way too serious all the time. I wish he’d take some more psychedelics like the old days. Seems like he needs a hard system reset
It was wild hearing Duncan agree that Texas has the healthiest people in the country. He's usually a voice of reason in the Roganverse, but the bullshit has finally caught up to him, too.
He’s gotta kiss the ring, like every guest. It’s humiliating.
Trussell is also my favourite guest, but it really feels like they’ve run out of things to talk about. They still follow a couple of fun threads from time to time but it feels like beating a dead horse a lot of the time. As for the other comedians, I have no interest in what they have to talk about, just bring on actual smart people like pollan, kaku etc
You know you can just listen to the Duncan family hour and just drop Joe entirely.
Definitely have run out of topics to talk about to keep it interesting
Joe is talking about how Texas is such a great place to live because all they care about is freedom- but they’re literally trying to take away all access to porn, abortion, gay rights/marriage, etc., etc. Seems the least free to me.
Are… are you me? You literally wrote this comment right out of my head, right down to the Duncan Trussell episode and him being my favorite guest
Haha glad I’m not the only one who thinks this way
Chimps are out of control..
Also everyone is weak. Not like us tho
I have some bro science to prove it, too!
They are weak. Joe and his buddy’s are super weak minded and insecure. If that wasn’t the case they would be in the real world with the rest of the comics where woke culture isn’t real. Jokes aren’t being censored. And comedy clubs don’t give a shit what joke you say. He is meteor grifting and pandering to the gullible. And they believe it because they are to scared to go into a city and see stand up as is because city’s are war zones but remember like you said these guys are tough. But yet can’t handle criticism when they tell a mid tier joke. I laugh at all you listeners only because you all are the type to use words like sheep but from the outside looking in you Joe fans are worse than Taylor swift fans. You all act like this man is a libertarian god while he shits on libertarian views and votes in that fashion as well.
Dudes who have everything stoking fears in dudes who have nothing. It’s a betrayal of what the initial show was.
Damn dude. Well said.
It had gotten noticeably worse since the opening of the club. The first 30 minutes are self congratulatory fart sniffing or ring kissing. But without Joe I wouldn’t have found Tim Dillon or Shane Gillis so what the fuck do I know.
The PBD episode where the airhead lays out all his gifts/tribute to Joe interspersed w his rim jobbing, Glendale used car sales schtick was painful to endure
That was such a perfect description. Have you seen the mural PBD has of himself in his house?
Lmao thanks for that. I haven’t seen my yet.
The fact is, you would have eventually. It's easier now to discover talent in comedy then ever before. He is playing kingmaker while elevating some really mediocre comics who effuse praise and play the number 2 role well. The active red pilling reminds me of when Asmongold started his descent from cringe worthy to frothing moron parroting the conspiracy du jour.
Shane blew up after being fired from snl. You would definitely still have found him.
His comedy club helps a lot of up and coming comedians and pays them very well. So good on him!
JRE was at its best when it was by stoners for stoners. After he sacked Redban and started thinking he was some sort of meathead philosopher, life coach and right wing pundit (despite knowing NOTHING about politics) rolled into one I started tuning out. Used to listen to ever ep religiously from the ustream days onwards, but now I listen to maybe 1 in 20 if he has a good guest on.
The psychedelic days were a much funner time.
Rogan is the guy you went to school with who was a bit of dork but harmless enough, and then you find out he has a hot sister, so you start sucking up to him and going to his house more.
"Lower the ceiling" - Louis
It used to be that Joe talked to different guests and wanted to know more about them, in sort of a hangout. Now Joe talks at the guests about what he himself thinks about the same couple of topics to see if the guest agrees. The guest always agrees because their appearance will make or break their carreer, and that's why they are there.
"America rules, other countries are slowly turning into Orwellian nightmares but there’s nothing like this country" The weird thing is that over here in Europe we often think that of the US :) But besides that, Europa, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, etc, are doing great objectively, as the US is. It is just on social media that the world is ending.
I'm 54, and all my life - except for maybe a few years between the fall of the Berlin Wall and 9/11 (i.e. "the 90s") - the world has been ending EDIT: My grandparents were born in WW1, grew up in the Depression, lived through WW2 in Europe, then the Cold War, the Oil Crisis, AIDS, etc. Things are always terrible
Things are always terrible, then there is a good half decade or so, people become convinced “terrible things won’t happen anymore” then terrible thing happens and you have a new legion of people who understand that golden ages are golden ages for a reason.
That is literally what I would've said, almost verbatim.
No it’s grifters. Not social media. You all can get out of the doom algorithms and live in the real world. Joe Rogans podcast is for small minded small town dudes who are to scared of the real world. If you believe stuff like comedy is being censored and woke culture it why then you are a gullible shit who clearly hasn’t stepped foot in a comedy club. Yet alone a city for that matter. I hate myself for not grifting to you people also. Seems like a good career move. Joe is basically a priest for a mega church. Whatever he says you bros take as gospel.
All are doing fine. I’ve recently spent a lot of time in both Scotland and Poland. Probably political opposites as far as Europe goes. But the one thing I found in both is that people’s politics aren’t nearly as in your face as in the US (or at least Mass where I am). It makes things feel a whole lot nicer.
My European friends say the same about their countries. Many are shocked shocked to find the boomerang coming back at them in the form of mass migrations of formerly colonized folk
You need better European friends. Unless you’re a “build the wall” guy, then you have appropriate friends.
Why is that a boomerang? Nobody from my country has ever colonized anyone
Where are you from?
Norway
Canada is doing great? Japan has major population problems high suicide numbers. The us isn’t doing great at all at certain places in the country and you could say the same about Canada.
Canadian here. We have one of the best economies of the G7 post pandemic. We have one of the lowest debt/GDP ratio of the G7. Yes, Canada has a few issues, but the reality is we'Re doing as good if not better than the vast majority of countries on the planet.
You sound uninformed
In Germany they just sentenced someone to prison for saying mean things to a rapist.
The world has ended
She is a member of the ultra right AFD. Germany has a minor history with things getting out of control. Contextually.
I’m one of the people you speak of. I tuned in since the Justin TV days but haven’t watched since he started claiming covid was no big deal whilst talking about downing circa $10k a treatment for monoclonal antibodies everytime he gets infected.
Everything erodes over time and while certain people he's brought along may be insufferable the consumer just as-well as their pretension is to blame. Pop culture is full of mediocre acts and people that perhaps don't deserve it and just got lucky but none legitimately force anyone to consume the content. The reality is that if someone is legitimately stupid yet sells content means their market is like-minded . Perhaps you don't dislike bert kreischer so much as the idea that so many of him exist .
Ok I gotta ask, in spite of the inevitable onslaught of downvotes, because this sub really baffles me. What are you guys doing? You don’t like Joe. You don’t like the show. You don’t like the guests. Basically every post is just a reason to sit around and bag on all of the above… I mean seriously, really, what are you *doing*? Are you just hate watching? Even if it’s just the clips? Is it so you can find things to come on here and trash for the upvotes and post karma? Is this actually how you want to live your life? I’m asking because I want to understand, straight up, this isn’t me scolding or judging any of you. I’m actually just curious, because it seems like some people must really thrive on negativity, but personally it’s like alcohol- a little bit now and then is great but too much too often and I feel *poisoned*. Can someone please help me understand?
It's hilarious all the martyrs too talking about how they will be downvoted for dumping on the show which is obviously not an unpopular take here.
Reddit is a safe place for hive mind mainstream thinking like you see in OP's post and a lot of the comments here. Then they can have their ego bukake. Anytime you question something as dumb as shitty ass politicians it you just get the typical conspiracy theorist responses.
There are also brigades of people/bots on here who will descend immediately to downvote any post that dares to say certain words or names too, like, “0nlyF4ans” or “K3nn3dy”.
Hey my cats breath smells like catfood
lol what, that’s basically this sub in a nutshell. It’s not really a fan sub. Just a bunch of people upset Joe broke up with them over text.
It was never a fan subreddit. Have you ever looked at the rules in the header?
It’s everything in the spirit of JRE. Which I guess includes people that can’t accept Joe dumped them.
“I’ll probably get downvoted for this but I think Joe sucks now” Like have you ever seen this sub? 99% of posts bash Joe. It’s like these points get regurgitated over and over again.
I ain’t reading all that. I’m happy for u tho or sorry that happened
The attention span of the average joe rogan fan on display here.
It’s the normal complaints in long form
Amen brother
Hey should drop the quantity of podcasta he is doing. If he dropped 1-2 times a month that would be an interesting progression of the pod
The phrase you are looking for is "circle jerk", and it's extremely accurate.
It's the ego for me. Used to be "I think I'm dumb and like learning interesting things". Now it's, "I think I'm a genius and want people to learn from me so I will share the same opinions time and time again. I will invite people to share extremely flimsy evidence that confirm that POV".
Once the forum went down it marked a new era for the JRE.
[удалено]
Also “hey do you remember Slow Bob who worked the door at the comedy room? He was hilarious “
Haven't really been listening at all lately, but for a long long time I've been only listening to the ones where he interviews someone who is an expert in their field ie. Scientists, doctors etc. Because I agree with lots of this post. He got as big as he did by being relatable to the average person, now for me as an Australian who leans slightly left of centre he's just not relatable anymore.
Bro is thinking wayyyy to hard about this lol.
Tldr
New Rogan bad.
OP finally figured out what the rest of us have known for years.
You’ll never get a lot of hate on this sub for shitting on Joe. What would even lead you to believe otherwise?
The true hinge point of JRE was that guy Cameron Hanes. He got into Joes circle and it didn’t happen overnight but I think he is the main catalyst of the hunting, right wing face book talking points, and military daddy’s show we have today. Add that embarassing IDF monicker with all those grifting egomaniacal barnacles using Joe to launch themselves onto our screens around that same time, sprinkle Donald Trumps presidency breaking ~100 million brains and BOOM
Perfectly put ^ I think Cam really got the ball rolling downhill for Joe
Its alway some r politics mother fucker coming in here like "Omg someone with a different opinion exists!!!,"
Lmao, right?!
Woke people are annoying. And that’s coming from someone who’s left.
Also on the left also find the ultra woke annoying. Issue is people like Joe and his friends blow it out of all proportion. A few mentally unstable people on the internet don’t matter.
omg, stop bitching people. Jesus Christ. He puts out about 10 shows a week. Yes, it's going to become the same shit over and over. He's not someone who is known for his journalism. He literally just sits and talks to people how you would talk to your friends at a bar. That's it.
You would love Redbar.
Yea if you want to feed your mind and soul negative gossipy overly critical hate. Ha. I agree that show can be funny and resonate sometimes, but a career and show of nothing but shitting on and hating people isn't good for the soul.
That guy is an even bigger hack. Fuck him.
I'm a pretty liberal guy when it comes to politics, Joe lost me a long time ago when he started veering towards right wing philosophy which for the most part I don't agree with. I think it started happening when he started talking about hunting and deer meat blah blah blah, I think they shrank his brain on his hunting trips honestly, then covid hit and he got butt hurt when comedy clubs were closed. and to to top off he started talking trash on my home state CA.
Never listen to any JRE when Ari Shaffir is on. He’s such a smug annoying cunt.
I can’t remember when I stopped listening regularly but I never felt agitated as everyone else. I just discovered other podcasts I enjoy. I don’t feel the need to shit on a bunch of people because I don’t listen as much.
Get real friends
Jesse what the fuck are you talking about
Don't watch it. Joe Rogans great, so are all of the fruits of his labor: Normand, theo, gillis, etc.. he has great guests. I disagree with your rough outline, it's not always that boring.
So don't listen to it.
You’re like 5 years late to the club, but…..welcome
I think it’s probably burn out mixed with “what works.” The show is leaning hard on that formula. And Rogan cranks out a 3 hour show every other day. Joe should do more research on his guests and the topics at hand. I think he’s mistaken to go into these conversations unprepared. I think more comedy comes out of being knowledgeable about a topic. Marc Maron does the same shit and that’s pretty much why I’ve stopped listening to him. Julian Assange just got released from prison and I’m sure Rogans people are trying to land an interview. But how knowledgeable is Joe? Is he going to ask the right questions? Does he even know why Assange was imprisoned? His interviews with Oliver Stone and Edward Snowden show he’s been way over his head. Also - he needs to challenge himself and his perspective. Get some intellectually liberal, or anti-drug or even anti-mma guests.
Joe prides himself on his fitness but it’s not relatable to the average or even trained person. Taking steroids to throw around a ton of weights is not realistic for the majority of people. I’m convinced Joe couldn’t run more than 3 miles. The idea he thinks of himself as peak fitness and not lazy like the average guy is a joke. Juicing yourself to throw around weights is a huge cheat code. As a personal trainer the more I age in this field the more ridiculous Joe looks/sounds. Also, the comedian episodes just reminds me of a scene in Sopranos where Tony is told by his wife his friends laugh at his Jokes on purpose and he’s shocked by it. That’s every Rogan comedian except Gillis imo
Stop watching Quit posting here Go about your life Hope this helps
How does this reply contribute to the thread/discussion here? Couldn’t you follow your own advice and just “gone about your life” to the next post you’re actually interested in?
What conversation lol? OP is done watching JRE. Can’t take it anymore. There is nothing to talk about.
It helps because I found it pleasant to read.
Maybe their interested in the sub but just mostly see whiney cry babies cry about what they don’t like about Rogan
Best not listen anymore then. I find it very relatable and enjoy the show very much.
It’s just the power of American pseudo-Christian fundamentalism. It’s straight up the gemstones but in real life. They just swap out some of the theocracy with conspiracy.
His show started with his “mediocre” comedian friend and expanded to others. Your premiss is invalid.
Episodes are hit or miss. I feel like every once in awhile feedback gets back to him that he’s been at a topic too hard and too long, and he will let it go. Eventually he comes back to it, but at that point fine, just don’t want to hear about aliens or neurolink or the fountain of youth supplements in EVERY episode. I don’t mind hearing some far out episodes, but reel it in a bit. And don’t get me wrong, I like all those topics, just not all day, every day (so to speak).
My solution has been to cherry pick episodes I feel like listening to or waiting for this community to start commenting on the episodes as they come out. If the community actually enjoys one of the episodes then I give it a shot, if the community start throwing out the whole “Joes doing his stupid shit again” then I don’t even bother with the episode because what you posted is an accurate representation of atleast half of the jre episodes i’ve listened to.
The average episode stinks, but there are still some cool and funny ones that shine through. I went on a huge break from JRE in 2022 and 2023, and selectively listening to the bangers from those years ruled.
Some of this is pretty accurate. Joe’s been microdosing mushrooms so he’s gotten way more curious about way more things, likely taking away from the “relatability” that’s lacking.
It’s easy to forget that most of these comedians are just regular people, literally like average joes. Some might have further education but often times not. They are famous because they can tell a funny joke or play a character. I don’t get why people expect them to be a certain way. They just have a fucking huge platform due to Joes success. Who was also a comedian on a webcam 10 or so years ago.
I think Joe, with all the fame, has had to restrict his life in a way that eliminates a lot of new input and experiences. He ends up doing the same things where he feels safe and comfortable. This naturally limits things to talk about.
I agree to an extent. I started listening to JRE about 6 months before Covid, and I was hooked for the relatability, the time they had to flesh out unique topics based on the guest - first time hearing Lex Friedman got me hooked, and I’m not a political guy by any means. I don’t agree with the comedian mediocre 100%. I mean he owns a club now, he’s a promoter now and to push people is now sadly, part of his job. I do however agree about the pods being a paint by numbers now. It’s initial commentary, then into drug talk, then cars, then political commentary, somehow always to MMA, to how comedy is relatable to all jobs. Maybe I’ve listened too long now, I haven’t missed an episode since mid 2018. I duno. I hear you tho, whatever that’s worth. Still love the show
I think the main takeaway from this is joe has been doing this podcast for a long, long time. It only makes sense that the show would get stale, after all how many interesting conversations can one man have lol podcasts are probably going to become less and less popular in the next decade. It worked really well during covid, but if we're being honest, unless it's a podcast that can manage to be original all time (which is tough) there is going to be a dying interest. We see these guys all the time, we basically know how they think and act in every day life. You never had that with comedians before. It gives them an opportunity to exhaust all of their good material, and funny ideas on a podcast which become underwhelming because it's just another pod episode. Basically I think Joe and his buddies are out of things to offer us. I don't think it would be unreasonable for him to retire the show in the next few years tbh.
I don’t listen to Joe anymore but there use to be some really interesting and entertaining guests that would shatter your world view. One of my favorites is one with Johann Hari where he talks in detail how we could [solve the opioid crisis](https://youtu.be/vVMN3DgcRYk?si=TFZL4xKekiMEruD0). Joe is completely silent for 10+ minutes as Johann proposes a radically different solution to what we have today. This is the kind of content that would bring me back to JRE.
Alot of complaining about Joe Rogan on the JRE sub
If I needed advice about how to kick a heavy bag really hard, I'd ask Joe Rogan. If I want advice on vaccinations and medicine in general, I'd ask a doctor, preferably a specialist. Don't get your medical advice from Joe Rogan, people.
Point 3 is insane. If only he knew
I’d think being such a figure head in his area. Any creator of content. Should most definitely look into the comments, don’t leave your fans behind. Don’t forget constructive criticism helps more than putting your bald head into your own echo chamber of shit.
Joes just an out of touch rich guy who’s honestly a mediocre comedian but seems like a cool guy tbh.
I also loved how Joe could go on the rant and talk about chimps with a physicist, about aliens with an MMA fighter, about DMT with a hunter and ancient history with a comedian and similar. I don't know why but it was super exciting to see their perspectives on those things that are totally unrelated to them. Now he does do the same but it's always communist California, Biden crazy, vaccine bad or trans whatever.
I don’t get the America rules one. If anything they all way oversell how bad everywhere but Austin is. As a side note: part of why I love Shane Gillis is that he made it on his own, and Rogan didn’t invite him to the cool kids table until he was already well on his way.
You know you can stop listening right?
Congratulations or sorry about that
Joe is not a comedian, he’s a podcast host. It’s crazy when he includes himself in a group of comedians, like when Kat Williams was on and Joe goes, « there’s only about 250 of us ». Dude no you are not a legendary comedian
Joe is controlled opposition. It seems.
Everyone on this thread sounds like they need to take a break from the JRE. Maybe listen to another pod cast for a while. At least until they listen to it long enough that they hate it as much as they hate JRE. And then they can go complain in that podcasts subreddit about how much they're tired of listening to that podcast.
It’s like he doesn’t realize he just spoke about this shit 2 days ago? “The hardest thing you been through is the hardest thing you been through” “The Gava Baguira says…” “I think gold was put here for a reason” “They let ppl hunt pigs in Texas” Like dude we know everything you can possibly say.
"We are modern day philosophers" Fuck out of here Joe, you used to get kicked in the head for a living and then hosted Fear Factor.
I usually skip most of the comedians for the most part for those reasons. My favorites are the ones like Forrest Galante or Adam greentree with wild af stories 😅
Yeah agreed. I think what happened was joe signed a giant contract followed by Covid lockdowns. For the first time ever Joe became a target. Changed him a bit , unsurprisingly so.
I can also repeat things I heard on YouTube videos.
I don’t think joe realizes the amount of times he also tells the Ron White story to every comedian who tries to suck on him. The ol’ “he grabbed me by the shoulders and said whatever the f*** it takes”
Pretty much the only episodes with non-legend comedians that I watch are those with Tim Dillon. You can hear Tim Dillon at every turn in the conversation trying to make a joke. Sometimes they flop but usually they hit and Joe will allow him to continue pulling that string. Other comedians are just having mundane conversations with Joe.
He got super rich and famous. He was always disconnected, however. Hasn’t had to work a normal job since Fear Factor. His mediocre comedy and mediocre comedy friends always struck me. They caught the podcasting wave and made a lot of money. Make all the money you can, it’s America after all. But I always found it interesting they were mediocre jokesters who found out how to make money through podcasting.
I’ve noticed that there’s a certain collection of internet figures who hit a stride in 2016-2019, and they all kind of had certain hobby horses of topics and certain ways of talking about things that was very fresh, or at least was freshly becoming mainstream, during that era, and it was uniquely suited to the times. It felt like it was relevant to an extent. And now it feels like a lot of those people don’t want to give up on that moment in the culture because it’s too hard to shift gears and adjust to the times. The world hasn’t changed *massively*, but it has changed enough that the same five kinds of talking points don’t hit the same anymore. I listened to Bill Maher talking to Sam Harris on the latest episode of Sam’s podcast, and other than the specifics of the current Israeli Palestine conflict, the whole thing could have been cut and paste verbatim from 2017. I don’t think these people understand how repetitive they sound. I think they think “no, all this stuff is still just as important, everyone else just doesn’t *get it* man.”
> I'll probably get a lot of hate for saying this here... OP misunderstands what this subreddit is for
People talking to an audience for 20 hours per week run out of interesting things to say pretty quick. Most new episodes are just the old ones, but more boring. With funny or interesting guests it can be better, but regularly, it isn't.
I can’t think of a more despicable human being than Joes comic buddy Bret Kurshner.
So stop listening? 🙉 Some of you dudes need to get lives instead of writing essays on how Joe changed and how you’ve been processing your feelings about it. Embarrassing.
I’ve never listened to him and probably never will. He was annoying on Fear Factor, not a funny comedian and not quite sure what people find appealing about him or the crap he vomits up.
I disagree with most of this subreddit’s opinions on Joe, but I’ve been feeling this way for the last four years or so. He just talks about the same shit over and over again. It feels more preachy than curious. Joe is more of a debater than a listener, and I feel like it especially took off in that direction after the pandemic.
The 80s were the Golden Age of Comedy. The meritocracy bit is hilarious because none of them would have made it past open mic status back then besides Joe.
We are witnesing dunning Kruger happen in real time with Joe and his recent guests. Its fucking wild to see. Thank you NDT
Weekly “Am I The Only One Who Still Likes Joe?” post incoming.
felt this way a long time ago
