The Joe Rogan Experience Podcasts

Joe himself hardly ever says anything too interesting

I get the feeling he is gullible type of guy

Any time there’s someone on making mad claims about ufos/paranormal joe completely accepts and believes what they are saying

Maybe that’s his act I dunno

Actually he has been openly skeptical about paranormal stuff. As for ufos he has dismissed many famous stories like the skinwalker ranch.


The last episode with Josh Rogin is brilliant

Eventually they redecorated the studio to the old style. I was getting used to the red one, but I think i like the new one better

"Joe Rogan is a gateway to the ideology of the last person that he spoke to"

Another apt quote on Rogan.

Embarrassing for him. He had to backtrack. Spotify showing him who's boss.

He needs to accept he doesn't know everything. Leave some things to the experts.

Hardly embarrassing for him going by that clip posted and more of a clarification (one he's made many times) rather than a backtrack.

Saying taking vaccine to stop the spread is a different argument... it's one of the main purposes of a vaccine. That's the issue everybody had with what he said.

Said by someone who doesn't understand what a vaccine is trying to achieve. What's Texan for a me feiner?

Well he has form.

Moves to Texas to avoid paying taxes (and only 13 %, not like 40% or anything like that) and comes out with complete tangents about LA being "overcrowded" and Covid and not having the balls to admit the truth.

“Also I think that where we live right here in LA is overcrowded. And I think, most of the time that’s not a problem,” Rogan said. “But I think it’s exposing the fact that it’s a real issue when you look at the number of people that uh, are catching COVID because of this overpopulation issue.”

never mind that he pretends to be socialist sometimes - endorsing Bernie Sanders and "supporting" a change to a socialist economy in the US.

Well this is it really, he's said that loads of times and I think most listeners understand that.
Yet when he does say something stupid (drunk or not) people who don't like him have a meltdown on Twitter (for e.g) "Oh my God! Rogan is so stupid! I can't believe he'd say that!"

He's qualified the show and explained his own intellectual failings a lot. And yet he's still judged to be something he clearly says he isn't by people that don't listen to the show.


He's just a variety entertainment podcast host.

Nobody is excused for coming out with dumb sh1t that could have serious effects like spreading Covid in this case among the population.

More especially in his case where he has a platform with a lot of listeners.

Not an insignificant % of which are the "trusting" sort to take what they hear as gospel.

No shortage of young Americans not interested in the vaccine anyway. Regardless of what Joe Rogan does or doesn't say

Such as the WHO back in March '' 20 saying there's no need to wear masks if you're not sick? Or throw in many examples like that (including our own Luke O'Neill) from experts in this field that was misguided.

Joe is a host of an entertainment show. Those who think he's more than that haven't been listening to the show and expect too much from a presenter that often says-don't listen to his advice.

your first point is whataboutery

the second point about what he might say about his own views is not actually valid if what he says actually does have a negative effect regardless

as has been shown in this case from surveys

Glasso, we won't agree so let's leave it there.

Meh, himself and a ton of the other comedians (Burr, Segura et al.) have been giving out about LA for years at this stage. Dr Drew (who kinda gives a **** about homelessness etc.) mentioned he was considering a run for governor because of how ****ed things are. Most of it pre-dates Covid as well. Who would want to pay any tax there? One of Burr's best bits is about sinking cruise ships and people just noticing day-by-day a few spots opening up on the highway, less queuing for coffee. :pac:
Austin's been an obvious "up and coming" spot for close to a decade now. Liberal enough and artsy. Tech's been moving in, huge facility built for F1. Who wouldn't want to move there?

never mind that he pretends to be socialist sometimes - endorsing Bernie Sanders and "supporting" a change to a socialist economy in the US.

I just put in $60k into a tax calculator for CA, take-home would be $3700 per month. Overall within a couple of per cent of what it is here on €50k. And while we may complain in Ireland you get an awful lot less return on those taxes in the States.
I consider myself fairly socialist and don't mind paying tax. If I could easily move and increase my income by ~15% while sacrificing nothing in public services and getting access to cheaper land and housing would I be a hypocrite for doing it?

Sure no real problem doing it for tax reasons but at least be honest about it instead of the horse**** that he came out with

- "something something LA crowded something something Covid"

Mic 1972

Actually he has been open from the beginning about the reasons for moving to Texas.
California becoming a high tax low life quality state, Texas was easier on covid restrictions from the beginning, also he is a quasi-Republican and a 2nd amendment supporter, Texas and Florida seem the best options for this.

Does Texas have some obvious downsides to it's low taxes? Terrible services to some degree? No social safety net?

This doesn't change the fact that he has influence and a lot of the people who watch his podcast are morons who thinks he's intelligent so he should be more careful about what he says.

Texas has a functioning economy, thus lower unemployment less social issues, less need for expensive social policies.

Obviously this also mean less votes going to democrats

I wouldn't see how that he has a higher moron to brainy person ratio than any other variety entertainment show.
If he was to be more careful about what he says then that would change the essence of the JRE show.

The essence being that as he states many times-he's a moron talking sh1t with friends and asking people about things that interest him.
It's not a complicated formula to understand.

Some people might put him on a higher plain of expectation of behaviour but as far as I see it these people mostly complain about him and the show and are disparaging about the people that do listen.

Most people that do listen understand the gist of the show and the character of the host.

And yet these people are often called morons.

Those who don't understand the show get to call those that do understand the show morons.

It's a topsy-turvy world.

This is a nonsense argument.

If you have an audience as big as his, you have to have some accountability for what you say. It has real repucussions. Even if he pretences it with "I am a moron".

I don't agree and think that's nonsense.

It's a very different world in Podcasts and I think it benefits from the freedom and independence it gives its presenters and I don't think there's an elevation to responsibility because of the size of listeners. People listen to a show because it is the way it is.

But hey, that's just me. We disagree.

Also to say that what Joe said re vax wasn't a big deal. The way I heard it was the same way he explained it in a later Podcast.

You are right. It is completely different with Podcast. I can't think of a single main stream broadcaster who gets white knight by fanboys as much as Rogan.

You might not think he has a responsibility but he has. He cannot operate in moral vacuum just because you say so.

Being a podcaster doesn't elevate him above any other media personality. Just because you say so.


But listen it's fine. I know I am not going to change your mind. You can go about your day safe knowing that you have defended Joe Rogan honour to a stranger on the internet.

You're laughably way off the mark.

Anyway, moving on.

I don't listen in much to the JRE but I enjoyed the Chapelle episode. I don't hear Chapelle doing interviews much so it was interesting enough and he has a very soothing voice.

you must agree he has a responsibility to his listeners at some point? Spouting hate wouldn't be ok?
