    Yea whatever you're into is right and if hes on the podcast it's fine I don't have to listen, I suppose the thing that annoys me is hearing joe go on about what an amazing person he is when I personally don't see the attraction. it seems like every podcast regardless of the subject joe brings it up! but other that great podcast

    I get where joe is coming from though - If you watch a few of joey diaz you start to realize how genuine the guy is, and how much he cares about a lot of things and people, to the point im like "awww - he's so sweet"

    He is also a flaming lunatic - the stories of him dealing crack to whitney houston are amazing!

    I only recently started listening to this pod. I find it to a be a mixed bag.

    Joe is a hard character for me to make my mind on. On one hand, I find that he can have some very insightful things to say, from time to time, and can be a very astute judge of people. And, I do like how the shows are lengthy and people can really have a free flowing conversation that isn't hamstrung by paying attention to the clock.

    However, by the two hour mark I'm a bit tired of him, not his guest or the show - him.

    He strikes me as a very stupid smart person: he knows plenty and can talk a lot and he occasionally hits the nail on the head, but he waffles an unreal amount. He seems to be obsessed with Wolves and other such macho nonsense; (brain pills? If you buy that crap, you probably do need them!) it's been a common listening experience, for me, to hear a potential interesting tangent of conversation, brought up by the guest, to be suddenly erased, as Joe wants to talk about his buddy; who was nearly killed by an Elk or whatever.

    Sometimes his snap judgements on things are painful to endure. I listened to his show with Louis Theroux, and Louis talked about his experiences making documentaries with and about Travellers. Joe clearly wouldn't know a Traveller from a hole in the ground, but that didn't stop him giving his view of them; it was cringeworthy stuff.

    Also, what is with all the conspiracy guff? JFK is never far from being mentioned, and although I haven't heard him mention Aliens explicitly yet, it's surely bound to happen. Sometimes the abundance of tinfoil hat crapola can be an advantage - The first hour of his show with Neil Degrasse Tyson was a systematic shredding by the guest of the "moon landing was a hoax" theory. Joe was full of, "I'm not saying I believe this", but he did seem to know an awful lot about a conspiracy he supposedly didn't believe in...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,246 ✭✭✭ardinn


    There is loads on aliens - just wait haha - Yes I agree with the stupid smart person comment - but I dont get hung up on it - I dont mind him waffling but I am getting tired of him telling the same stories about archery etc to 10 different guests! But all in all It's a turn your head off pod with occasional brilliance. Its funny as fúck too

    Just listened to the podcast.
    He's a very honest and open-minded guy.
    Really enjoyed listening to him while sipping coffee for a couple of hours today. Very therapeutic.

    have to say tho, joe annoys me at times but i wouldnt have him any other way, great podcast and great guests (most of the time)

    Ps jamie is the man

    Great podcast! I've been listening for a few months now, usually on my commute or in work. I must look demented some times listening to it, I rarely watch or look at anything that makes me laugh out loud, this show regularly!

    Ok so does anyone remember a guy talking about reading a book on illness and how he learned to overcome whatever he had by using techniques he read in the book? Its somewhere between 850 and 890 but I cant find it for the life of me - i wanted the name of the book!

    Dont religiously listen to JRE but his recent interview with James Hetfield of Metallica was fantastic. There are so few people that could conduct such an interesting interview with an obviously closed guy. Metallica wouldn't be on my every day play list but great at what they do but beautiful interview.

    And he managed to carry 40 minutes of talking about bees and made it really interesting!

    That Henry Rollins show was incredible. Probably nothing new for Henry fans but I just love listening to him talk.

    Quite funny when Joe suggests that Henry was once a massive drinker and drug-taker. Though Henry was going to laugh in his face.

    Lads, this Alex Jones lad is wired to Mars! I've seen/heard him before but this is just bananas!

    I'm neither a conspiracy theorist, or regular listener to Joe Rogan, but I came away thinking Alex Jones is a man who says what he says because it appeals to his target audience. It's all about a grand overarching conspiracy theory where we are subservient to a global elite who are hell-bent on destroying us. Entertaining stuff, if you see it as just that.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 224 ✭✭donaldtramp


    He's definitely funny....

    Joe has some problems of his own with an ego personality.

    He's very big-headed both literally and metaphorically and thinks he can fight even though he played 3 kickboxing tourneys and lost 1 but won 2 which is average, meh, I think Alex Jones is cool and pizza gate is real and spirit cooking + such, i love joe.

    I don't follow him all that closely as he does my head in but from what I have seen of him I think he actually is just crazy / borderline schizophrenic. Even in the few mins of that podcast I could bare to listen to his thought process just seems so frantic and uncontrollable. I was impressed that JR could basically tell him to shut up and let him speak as I don't think I've seen anyone do it before. I remember seeing an interview with Andrew Neil on BBC who ended the interview by calling him a moron.

    That said, he's a multi multi millionaire so who knows.

    There are other basket cases out there who think Alex Jones is a shapeshifter and part of the conspiracy!! There seems no end to how crazy people can be.

    Neil DeGrasse Tyson :)

    Only listened to the 1st 30 mins , but so far fascinating !!

    love this guy!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,403 ✭✭✭Jan_de_Bakker


    Even when I don't know the guest, still a great podcast ...

    Dan Carlin has been on two or three times and always great.

    Really interesting Ron Miscavige , father of that lunatic David Miscavige from Scientology .

    The recent one with Brendan Schaub and Eddie Bravo is interesting listening. Essentially Bravo, who is a long time friend of Rogan, starts off about earth being flat and it kicks off after that.
    It gets a bit shouty at times, but well worth listening to.

    When his go to argument is the "6 moon landings" and "your source is the internet" for everything, then you have to question how hard he looks into these things he so strongly lives by.

    This is absolute Gold. Reporter/Author Graham Hancock and Master Builder/Geologist Randall Carlson argue out their theory that a lost advanced civilization was wiped out due to a huge cataclysmic comet strike on the North American ice sheet 12,800 years ago in a debate with Michael Shermer, founder and chief editor of Skeptic magazine who isn't buying any of it. Highly Highly recommended!

    Currently watching it - they need to mute people while someone is talking - Im a massive fan of Grahams, love these podcasts! I'd happily listen to a Joe/Graham p/c once a week!

    I got the audiobook version of 'Magicians of The Gods' by Graham on audible, really great stuff, he narrates it too, so good! But yeah the rows on this podcast reached RTE radio political debate levels in some parts! Fantastic interesting entertainment though, fair play to Joe Rogan though for these brilliant and free resources.

    Wonderful episode with psychology professor Jordan Peterson.
    Searingly honest intellect recently in trouble with authoritarian SJW-types in the transsexual pronoun battle in Toronto.

    Talks about so many things in this.
    Jung; archetypes; confronting your own shadow; Joseph Campbell's hero's journey; mythos vs logos; masculinity in crisis and its place in a feminised world where social/emotional trumps reason.
    Phallologocentrism is a new one on me (basically that ridiculous concept of "mansplaining").

    I've watched a fair few JR podcasts now (Henry Rollins, Sam Harris, Louis Theroux, Leah Remini (Scientology), Bill Burr, Russell Brand) but this is definitely up there.

    Joe said it's his favourite podcast.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,246 ✭✭✭ardinn



    He always says that - His GH RC podcasts are his real favourite tho - mine too - I cannot stand yer man above - his voice goes through my head!


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 4,726 Mod ✭✭✭✭Gonzovision


    The Jordan Peterson one is easily my favorite in a long time. Guy talks so much sense.


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,863 ✭✭✭buried


    Dr. Peterson's own youtube channel is worth subscribing to also. Has full length recordings of his lectures from University of Toronto up on his channel. Great great informative and entertaining binge watching

    Jay Leno.
    Didn't expect this to be great but Leno has some great standup stories.
    And I've always thought he was a funny guy.

    JRE is easily my favourite podcast out there at the moment. Always an interesting listen even if I don't necessarily agree with all of his view points.

    Back on track, that Matthew Walker episode was fantastic. Furthermore, the Fight Companion was great too aside from the last 45mins.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,795 ✭✭✭dulux99


    This might be old news but did anyone see that Joe shut down his forum without giving any notice to the posters there. I never posted there myself but lurked from time to time and went looking for it the other night and ended up on a reddit thread with lots of people absolutely furious. There was a huge number of people posting on that forum, including Joe himself yet he shut it down without giving any notice whatsoever. Bad form really. I don't listen much anymore but based on that reddit thread they seemed to imply that Joe has "changed" alot over the past couple of years.
