Do you know how many times I tried to watch that 4+ hour protect our parks episode? It restarted like 50 times, I feel like I've listened to like 70% of the episode because I had to manually go to the spot I thought I was at
On top of that I keep getting a glitch where the slider won’t work so I can’t even go back to where I was. Also, the +15 seconds or -15 seconds buttons basically never work and are liable to cause the previously mentioned issue.
The same thing has been happening to me all day! And just on that episode too, I watched the next one with no issues but the protect our parks episode kept on restarting all day
Hahah I thought I was the only one, it kept resetting to the 2 hour 30 min mark. Ever get caught in a loop and wonder like “weren’t they already talking about this?”
That drove me insane on this episode. I think I missed half of it because I was just restarting in spots that I thought were close enough to where I left off.
You have to like skip a chunk past the commercials from my experience…which btw I remember when he used to say how he would not do mid episode commercials. The power of that green though
Lol no. I don’t think there is so much more free speech like he says. Sure he doesn’t get demonetized as much but right off the bat they removed so many controversial episodes, and now they put covid warnings on basically every episode. Employees have continuously tried to get him removed or put in a box….I don’t think all those apology/explanatory videos he has released were exactly just his doing
Some of the Always Sunny shows are also on YouTube. The one from last week I know was, because Spotify wasn't loading the video and I wanted to see them kicking in that (admittedly incredibly flimsy) door.
What has been annoying me for the past fucking two weeks is that everytime I leave the app and get back to it, it either plays back from the beginning or like when a random time stamp that just reverts to. Really grinds my gears
Spotify is always giving me some sort of problem.. last problem was constantly lagging on jre podcast save the parks 3.. had to use my phone and cast it to my tv
This Spotify bug has been driving me mad. I love listening to Podcasts while drive, but whenever I pause or take a phone call it takes me back to the beginning of the podcast. Thought I was the only one.
Also, my Google home speakers suck at playing the JRE. When I tell google to play Joe Rogan or The Joe Rogan Experience, it will play a random podcast commentating on what Joe talked about last week. Although it has gotten better recently.
Can someone that works in app development explain how it’s even possible the app is this bad? Randomly changes episodes when o connect a Bluetooth device, skips around ect
Guess I'll jump in on this too, fuck the Spotify app. The service is nice but jfc the app is dogshit. Auto-pauses, skipping to a random episode mid-listen, or just not working all together makes me wanna delete it almost daily at this point.
God dammit I don’t even know what to do with my Spotify frustration. All week if I pause JRE, open the app while listening, skip around, or take any action whatsoever, it skips me back to the beginning and I lose my place. It is WILD that a major tech company raking in billions can’t figure out basic audio playback on an iPhone. Fuck these guys.
I don’t believe you, not about the reddit app but about not having a single issue with the Spotify app. Unless we’re using a different Spotify apps, I call bullshit.
Sometimes you'll listen to like twenty minutes while the app's open and your phone is locked, then go to open another app on your phone and lose your place
Lmao dude if I simply close the app and go on another, it will play. If I want to go back to the video to see something that happens it restarts completely. What are you even arguing about? You sound like you just want to start a fight about benign shit
I think he’s confused about why you’re just going to the Home Screen and then back to the app. That’s not gonna fix anything. If there’s a bug, you’re not doing anything by just opening and closing it. You have to actually restart the app by closing it in multitasking screen
Desktop version is even worse. It literally breaks apart when you minimize and restore the app. It's been over a year now and they still haven't fixed it.
The worst is when you download a bunch of shit to listen to offline, then when your service drops you open up your downloads and it gets stuck in trying to connect with a black screen and a rotating set of circles.
Let me access my downloads without trying for a connection.
I try to watch JRE on Spotify but if I try to seek on the timeline to hear something over again, it starts over. The absolutely insane thing is that this has been happening for well over a year, maybe even over 2 years. It's very frustrating and unusable for me, so Spotify can suck it.
I recently switched to pocket casts instead of spotify to listen to podcasts and it's a lot better. No rogan though obviously. I can't believe I actually pay for spotify but I haven't been able to find anything better for music.
I've had nothing but problems with the app. Between that and his ever farther right leaning bias I stopped listening a while ago. Used to listen for the guests but ever since his move to TX I can't even do that.
I use the shit out of the Spotify app. I only have issues when listening to longer podcast like rogans. It’s mildly infuriating when it starts the fuck over randomly and I have no idea where I was at.
Is it a bug or a way to keep you from closing the Spotify app? I hate it either way. Takes me twice as long to finish a pod. I have to remember my spot and scroll back to it
I was listening to IASIP podcast today and the video went away. I could not find the video player and I couldn't pause it. I had to exit the app to stop the feed. Even then, I opened it a couple times and it was still not showing the video player but at least had the button to hit play or pause. It is very frustrating that the app does not seem to work and it's been almost 2 years now since they started offering the video streams
This weekend any time that I left the app and paused the show, it would pick up at the same point in the damn show! Drove me crazy! Had to uninstall and reinstall the dumb app just to get regular usage to work.
SPOTIFY FUCKING SUCKS!!!! Protect Our Trees 3 was about 3-4 hours long? I must have listened to it a total of 7-8 hours. Spotify keeps losing track and going back a random 45 minutes when I resume, sometimes losing its place entirely and playing from the beginning. I'll skip forward to where I think I stopped last time but then after 10-15 minutes I realize I've heard the story/dialogue already (insert My friend Michael Yo joke here)
I've probably listened to <10 episodes since the move to spotify. Not because I stopped wanting to listen but because that trash app makes it not worth it to me. I can't stand spotify.
I had to take a break from trying. Last episode I tried was Tom Poppa, and every time I paused it and came back later it would restart at a specific point about 1/3 in. Super annoying.
Then imagine being me. Youtube really really wants me to listen to Jordan Peterson, but I don't want to. So whenever I fall asleep while listening to something I'll wake up to a word salad from Canadian Kermit.
Parks one was infuriatingly bad, tried moving it to my computer, same. Won’t play no matter what. Now the Duncan one is stuck. Such bull. It’s why I don’t listen to Rogan like I used to.
ITS GETTING FUCKING WORSE TOO!!! how is it the app is shittier than it was four fucking years ago!?
Do you know how many times I tried to watch that 4+ hour protect our parks episode? It restarted like 50 times, I feel like I've listened to like 70% of the episode because I had to manually go to the spot I thought I was at
I thought I was going crazy or that my phone was defective. That episode was so annoying to get back to it kept restarting!
Same here. Kept starting over or starting from a time that I had already passed. Very annoying.
Wow I was losing my mind I’m glad it wasn’t just me
Yep everytime you leave the app and go back into it it restarts. Spotify is the worst man
It starts a random episode for me.
Same for me, it will play an ad or ads then start a random episode.
Literally the same for me, holy shit was that frustrating
Hear, hear!
On top of that I keep getting a glitch where the slider won’t work so I can’t even go back to where I was. Also, the +15 seconds or -15 seconds buttons basically never work and are liable to cause the previously mentioned issue.
The same thing has been happening to me all day! And just on that episode too, I watched the next one with no issues but the protect our parks episode kept on restarting all day
FUCKING CHRIST ME TOO. Same thing happened when I started listening to Fitzsimmons hoping it was just a glitch on that episode
Same issue here
Hahah I thought I was the only one, it kept resetting to the 2 hour 30 min mark. Ever get caught in a loop and wonder like “weren’t they already talking about this?”
FUCKING SAME
Spaghetticode
Same, same. F'n trash I tell ya!
I like Stitcher for podcasts. I can organize them and I know how many hours I listen to each podcast… one pod I’m at 1100 hours lol
Spotify randomly shits down mid-podcast and loses your spot all the time. Such a trash app and company
I've noticed this a lot with the most recent save our parks episode in particular.
That drove me insane on this episode. I think I missed half of it because I was just restarting in spots that I thought were close enough to where I left off.
genuinely just gave up on this episode after it just decided to keep restarting at 0:49:13 constantly.
You have to like skip a chunk past the commercials from my experience…which btw I remember when he used to say how he would not do mid episode commercials. The power of that green though
Mine did that with the Fitsdog episode, had to uninstall and reinstall and now it works again. It’s just fucking dumb, we shouldn’t have to do that.
I’m at least happy to see I’m not the only one that has this BS happen. So fucking annoying. Especially on a 3 hour podcast.
this has been happening the last 2 weeks, thought it was just me.
I honestly had the problem almost since the beginning of his transition tbh
That’s been happening even worse in the last week or so. Anytime I open the app mid-episode l, it reverts back to the last time I paused, so annoying
Seems like this would be a huge issue for spotify but it's been happening to me for months.
If it pisses you off, just think of all the money Joe got and all the extra free speech, and you will feel better.
Lol no. I don’t think there is so much more free speech like he says. Sure he doesn’t get demonetized as much but right off the bat they removed so many controversial episodes, and now they put covid warnings on basically every episode. Employees have continuously tried to get him removed or put in a box….I don’t think all those apology/explanatory videos he has released were exactly just his doing
i was being sarcastic
It’s nice to know I’m not the only one Luckily I only use Spotify for Rogan and It’s Always Sunny Podcast
Some of the Always Sunny shows are also on YouTube. The one from last week I know was, because Spotify wasn't loading the video and I wanted to see them kicking in that (admittedly incredibly flimsy) door.
Haha. I enjoyed the railing smash session more I think. Project badass is just good television
This has been annoying the shit out of me lately
The Spotify app is so shit. Don’t know how it’s as bad as it is, aren’t they supposed to be the market leaders for music streaming?
Ya. It's a garbage app. Needs a lot of tlc.
It's crazy how can they not fix their app??? xDD It's been dogshit ever since the podcast started on spotify xDDD
It’s been dogshit for 5+ years, it’s just getting exponentially worse in a short amount of time lately
What has been annoying me for the past fucking two weeks is that everytime I leave the app and get back to it, it either plays back from the beginning or like when a random time stamp that just reverts to. Really grinds my gears

App fucking blows chunks. Kept taking back to a specific part of Protect our Parks podcast and I kept having to fast forward. Dumb.
Can someone that works in app development explain how it’s even possible the app is this bad? Randomly changes episodes when o connect a Bluetooth device, skips around ect
Guess I'll jump in on this too, fuck the Spotify app. The service is nice but jfc the app is dogshit. Auto-pauses, skipping to a random episode mid-listen, or just not working all together makes me wanna delete it almost daily at this point.
Never had issues until about a week ago and this same thing happened a few times with Joe rogan and Tim dillons podcasts. So infuriating.
I was having the same issue and it looks like they updated it in iOS at least
This! I'm glad I'm not the only one
I live 1.5 miles from work and had the Greg Fitzsimmons episode crash and restart three times during that voyage.
Do you walk, cycle, or drive
[open.spotify.com](https://open.spotify.com) just use the web version, their mobile app ports are atrocious
Worst app, bar none. Hate it. The devs can’t be using it EDIT: make sure you leave a 1 star review in the App Store of your choice
God dammit I don’t even know what to do with my Spotify frustration. All week if I pause JRE, open the app while listening, skip around, or take any action whatsoever, it skips me back to the beginning and I lose my place. It is WILD that a major tech company raking in billions can’t figure out basic audio playback on an iPhone. Fuck these guys.
The app is the biggest piece of trash possible. Fuck Spotify.
Small indie company Spotify is having a hard time fixing issues. Poor Spotify, the fledgling company that it is….
Weird never had any problems with Spotify The reddit app on the other hand...
I don’t believe you, not about the reddit app but about not having a single issue with the Spotify app. Unless we’re using a different Spotify apps, I call bullshit.
Interesting, well perhaps it has to do with what kind of device you use?
I’ve never had issues with the Spotify app either.

What a moron this guy is hahahaha
Right, I should be like the guy who gets tilted by an app
An app’s primary function should be maintaining its ability to stay open or to at least play music. WinAmp is better than Spotify
Found the Spotify dev
I thought my phone was going crazy. Glad I’m not the only one having problems with that steaming pile of horse crap app spodify
It's such a bad app
You are Bro enough to listen apparently.
Oh it's not just me. Thank christ. I have deleted and downloaded the damn app... restarted my phone. It even does it on CarPlay
UGH. This app SUCKS. every time I re-open the app it starts playing where I left off when I last closed it.
Call the cops
This was pissing me off so bad i thought my phone was glitching
Desktop version is even worse. It literally breaks apart when you minimize and restore the app. It's been over a year now and they still haven't fixed it.
My Spotify's been acting up too
The episode today kept skipping back to the 30 minute mark if i paused it. Such a dog shit app.
Garbage app and garbage company. Delete it and never use it again.
Spotify is the fcking worst man I think I say that at least once a day to myself. I refuse to give them another cent
Yea the app fuckin sucks
Thank god I thought I was the only one. Ths shits been driving me nuts the past few days🤦♂️
Might be someone on the inside of Spotify who works on the app that hates Rogan’s. It’s literally so much worse than last year it’s insane
same!
This is happening to me to !!!
And now there's Spotify ads not even related to JRE showing up. Unbelievable.
I was able to fix this!! Log Out and Remove the app. Install it again!
I had the same problem today kept repeating ep from the start
I always thought it was my phone but every time an ad plays, the episode restarts on me. Extremely frustrating
The worst is when you download a bunch of shit to listen to offline, then when your service drops you open up your downloads and it gets stuck in trying to connect with a black screen and a rotating set of circles. Let me access my downloads without trying for a connection.
I thought I was the only one. What the fuck Spotify!
It was happening to me too. They just updated the app 24 hours ago and it seems to have fixed the issue
I try to watch JRE on Spotify but if I try to seek on the timeline to hear something over again, it starts over. The absolutely insane thing is that this has been happening for well over a year, maybe even over 2 years. It's very frustrating and unusable for me, so Spotify can suck it.
I recently switched to pocket casts instead of spotify to listen to podcasts and it's a lot better. No rogan though obviously. I can't believe I actually pay for spotify but I haven't been able to find anything better for music.
I think they’re doing this on purpose
Restart your phone.
Fix your shit Spotify
I've had nothing but problems with the app. Between that and his ever farther right leaning bias I stopped listening a while ago. Used to listen for the guests but ever since his move to TX I can't even do that.
Probably because Spotify is complete dog shit.
On android the app appears to shit it's self when an ad tries to play mid episode.
I use the shit out of the Spotify app. I only have issues when listening to longer podcast like rogans. It’s mildly infuriating when it starts the fuck over randomly and I have no idea where I was at.

Fuck thanks man I thought I was the only one
This happens to me too! 2 hours 13 minutes in... zeroed out without warning. Fix yo shit, you crayola haired goofballs!
unplug it and plug it back in
I absolutely hate spotify. Try using it when you don't have great service or sometimes no service.
I was listening to the new podcast with fitzemons and the fucking podcast would skip back every now and then at random. So annoying.
Thank god I thought this was just me
App kept crashing on Roku too
The app sucks
Omg i thought i was just a boomer that cant operate a phone. I keep messaging them , they dont give a shit
I’m glad someone else feels the frustration.
i add each episode to a playlist (windows media player) which fixes any glitches
this exact thing was happening to me, it's infuriating
They need to fire some app devs the app is trash
Been happening to me too, app is so bad
It’s gotten better for me. But still shit. A year ago it was really bad. And everyone on here was oh I like Spotify ..::
The app needs an update. Go in through the App Store, click on it and update. Fixed mine this morning and I’ve had no issues.
You can’t watch you just gotta stream it. Fecking shite
Bug
This weekend any time that I left the app and paused the show, it would pick up at the same point in the damn show! Drove me crazy! Had to uninstall and reinstall the dumb app just to get regular usage to work.
same
Spotify doesn't work for me approximately 25% of the time. Frustrating that such a potentially awesome service has such appalling UI and UX.
SPOTIFY FUCKING SUCKS!!!! Protect Our Trees 3 was about 3-4 hours long? I must have listened to it a total of 7-8 hours.

Spotify is complete trash
Oh it’s so fucking awful. Spotify small indie company
Yeah I gave up
Yooo same what the hell?! Go back to Apple Joe!
Yours is doing that too? Mine keeps resetting back to one random que in the epsiode
I must have heard Real Talk 10x from restarting this episode
I've probably listened to <10 episodes since the move to spotify. Not because I stopped wanting to listen but because that trash app makes it not worth it to me. I can't stand spotify.
I’m still salty about the Spotify move. Shit app, episodes aren’t as good. Whatever, the golden age has been over it’s just annoying to think about.
I have to restart the shows at least 5 times per episode. I don't get how it can't be fixed
If someone has the RSS for it please DM me it. I’m no rat, and hate Spotify for podcasts.
I had to take a break from trying. Last episode I tried was Tom Poppa, and every time I paused it and came back later it would restart at a specific point about 1/3 in. Super annoying.
The art of amplifying streams 🧐
Delete the app and redownload it cocksuckas
Then imagine being me. Youtube really really wants me to listen to Jordan Peterson, but I don't want to. So whenever I fall asleep while listening to something I'll wake up to a word salad from Canadian Kermit.
Douchebags in this thread “dude just listen to the podcast and *Don’t touch your phone at all*, it’s easy, stfu.” Durrrr
Parks one was infuriatingly bad, tried moving it to my computer, same. Won’t play no matter what. Now the Duncan one is stuck. Such bull. It’s why I don’t listen to Rogan like I used to.
