    @glaaso

    You're one of the most prolific posters on this thread but most (all?) of your posts don't talk about the JRE but rather pull people up on what they heard and talk about what they heard on the JRE.

    Do you listen to the podcast?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,379 ✭✭✭✭JRant


    In a slightly unrelated note, Lex will have Zuckerberg on his podcast tomorrow. Two automatons slugging it out.

    Well it was nice to have an episode that mentioned the virus almost not at all. Very few words on the subject. Rather it is Rogan doing what he claims his podcast is actually about - him talking to interesting and fun people on subjects both he and they are passionate about.

    This guest Daniel Holzman is a black belt in Jujitsu and loves training martial arts (as I very much do) - is passionate about cooking (as I very much am) - and is particularly into cooking and eating various kinds of meat in various kinds of ways (which I very much am). So all in all it was the perfect feel good easy listen for me.

    A few more Podcasts like that I hope! Rogan himself says he is sick to the point of exhaustion at talking about the Pandemic. So here's hoping he stops for awhile.

    Pretty obvious you didn't listen.

    Unless you're a disease expert it's pretty funny calling him a hack 🤣🤣🤣

    So he is main stream then. Silly comparison anyway. CNN are 24/7/365. Joe does 2 hours a few times a week.

    Also Trump didnt wake the world up to fake news. Social media addicts maybe whho like catchy phrases. Drain the swamp etc.

    Fake news and post truth has been a big issue since post 9/11. And before.

    Who is Glaaso?

    No I don't actively listen anymore.

    There are too many podcasts to listen to and I choose to listen to other ones instead.

    Not just me but 90% of the posts for the last year have been about the podcast in general and a broader context - don't tell me that you really haven't copped that on and that it's not far more people than my posts about it?

    For example, whether Rogan should be more responsible in relation to doing some basic due diligence about issues that affect public health.

    In fact recently Rogan has said that he needs to do better in this regard ->

    ROGAN: Maybe try harder to get people with differing opinions on right afterwards - I do think that that's important - and do my best to make sure that I've researched these topics, the controversial ones in particular, and have all the pertinent facts at hand before I discuss them.

    He obviously didn't do any research (or else didn't give a fcuk because he hoped that it would boost his audience) before he had certain people who are spreading completlely unsubstantiated Covid conspiracy theories on.

    Just finished the Coleman Hughes interview. He is an interesting individual. It was far more enjoyable than I thought it would be.

    "Well, yeah, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man"



  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Yeah that was not bad. Comically my brain - distracted by work - did a weird fart and mixed up Coleman Hughes with Colion Noir. So I spent the first 20 minutes thinking "this is not what I expected him to be talking about" before my brain realigned itself.

    Then I remembered that Coleman was also on Sam Harris in 2018 and I think I remember enjoying that episode too. Might go back and listen to that one again.

    Lex has filled that gap that Joe Rogan left for me. Interesting guests talking about interesting stuff grounded in reality. None of the conspiracy nonsense sprinkled in.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,379 ✭✭✭✭JRant


    I still enjoy listening to some of Joe's episodes. However, Lex has guests on that my own interests would broadly align with, psychological, AI, software, etc.

    The Zuckerberg one was good as he came across as far more open than I thought he would be. The menagerie both entrails and terrifies me in equal measure.

    "Well, yeah, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man"

    Ah I see he had Dakota Meyer on again. I remember his first appearance. One of those guests who just left me feeling like I wanted to be a better person.



  • Registered Users Posts: 8,239 ✭✭✭Pussyhands


    All the Joe controversy gone just like that.

    Because the N-Word stuff was bull and people saw through it.

    With regard to the Covid stuff, he was clear and honest about it and admitted he might have gone a little too far to one side and would try to make changes. You can't say fairer than that!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,641 ✭✭✭✭El_Duderino 09


    I wonder is anything else going on in the world that has dominated the news agenda for the last fortnight...



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,425 ✭✭✭Sudden Valley


    Haven't listened to the last few podcasts. Wonder if Joe will have anyone on related to the war in Ukraine? Tbh could see more people going back temporarily to the hated mainstream media to watch the war unfold rather than listen to podcasts about mma fighters



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,265 ✭✭✭✭MrStuffins


    Why do people who use terms like "news agenda" think that only one story can be covered at one time in an era of 24 hour news cycles?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,194 ✭✭✭✭The Nal


    Good interview with Michael Bisping on the new one. Talking fighting.

    Nothing amazing in the Mr Beast interview but overall it was a lovely listen. Very pleasant. Just two people having such a nice conversation that leaves you smiling.

    Rogan has had people on before who have - singular focus lets say - in their lives. Some amazingly so. But Mr Beast was extreme in this. Every single pop culture reference Rogan dropped Mr Beast was admitting he had absolutely no knowledge of it. To the point by the end of the interview he was saying "This is why I have always had no friends and feel like a freak".

    He is so absolutely singularly focused on his career path and you tube creativity that he quite literally seems to have invested zero attention to the pop culture world around him. Yet his charity and philanthropic work shows he has anything but lost touch with human reality or human connection.

    None of his you tube content is anything I would watch though. No interest at all. But overall he came across as a wonderful person the world is better off with than without. And being the front man on you tubes biggest and most subscribed channel - he seems incredibly down to earth and normal.

    God the Sadhguru interview was painful. Not sure why I forced myself to endure it. Guess I wanted to feel "open minded" and receptive and to give him a chance maybe. But what a string of absolute waffle for hours that was. Not quite in the Deepak Chopra level of nonsense I grant him - but certainly going down that path.

    And I struggle to even remember when he actually answered a question either.

    Every answer I can remember had nothing to do with the question asked. The most egregious example I can remember is Rogan asks him what specifically he is teaching - and instead Sadhguru trotting out an "argumentum ad populum" response of telling Rogan how many volunteers he has and how many lives he has affected and therefore that his teaching must be something that "works". Which is not even _ remotely _ what Rogan asked him. And Charlatan 101 tells me that if a "guru" answers a direct question with a deflection about testimonies - then the possible fraudster alarm should go off hard.

    And that is all even before he went entirely off the rails and started talking about summoning "other life" into human host bodies who had the power to make water on the other side of the room boil. Reminds me of the guy on boards who confronted me about a guy who was able to make news paper on the other side of the room go up in flames merely by pointing at it. Yea - news flash - I know how to do both of those tricks myself. I can make water and news paper on the other side of the room appear to spontaneously combust/boil too. It's a simple "magic" trick anyone can learn.

    Anyway I see Daryl Davis is the next podcast. I quite liked him when he was on the podcast before. Just an all round lovable guy who you want to hear his story. So I will look forward to that one during my next run. Since he is on with Bill Ottman at the same time I assume the podcast is mostly going to be about things like Free Speech and Open Dialogue and resolving a lot of america's Bipartisan issues through that. Just a guess though.

    Is Joe having more repeat guests on then usual at the moment. I just get that heneral impression but perhaps not as intesrested in some of the newer guests he has had on recently.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,265 ✭✭✭✭MrStuffins


    Really enjoyed the Mr Beast one. Had never heard of him but he seems like a really down-to-earth, head-screwed-on kinda dude. And using his platform to do good things too.

    His videos aren't normally what i'd watch but i've watched a few since the podcast and I must say, I can really see why he's so popular!

    The one with the CEO of Minds not being able to tell Joe who was posting his content in Minds, or whether his Minds account was hacked was the a bit of a disaster!

    Talk about a demo going wrong.



  • Registered Users Posts: 206 ✭✭Amenhotep


    Gavin De Becker and Michael Shellenberger were great episodes



  • Registered Users Posts: 206 ✭✭Amenhotep





  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,426 ✭✭✭Did you smash it


    David Mamet, he could still be expounding on his theory of western decay and I’d still not have a notion what he’s talking about. Rogan tried challenging him in fairness.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,425 ✭✭✭Sudden Valley


    He was pretty depressed about everything. Perhaps that is what alot of older generations not understanding the newer generations. Interesting that a lot of religious people are now admitting the bible is a myth.

    One with Mike Tyson today... I could only endure first 35mins of it, terrible quality content.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,785 ✭✭✭gypsy79


    Dont do Duncan Trussell if that one wasnt fun to you

    Thats the best part of the show is the complete diversity of guests



  • Registered Users Posts: 258 ✭✭SimpleDimple


    Lol I just listened to the Duncan one and it’s my first Duncan episode and I love it. No stupid politics / gender / covid nonsense, just joe and a buddy being high and talking about the possibilities of well, everything



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,425 ✭✭✭Sudden Valley


    The Stanhope episode was very interesting. Hes quite a funny guy. Joe also put his head above the parapet and criticized the abortion laws in Texas.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,785 ✭✭✭gypsy79


    I thought it was one of Dougs worst. He was clearly holding back but I am a listener of his podcast

    And it might be getting the stage where he has locked himself away too long in Bisbee and needs come out of his bubble for a bit



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,064 ✭✭✭ShagNastii


    I listened to Gina Carano today.

    He should have had her on the MMA pod instead.

    There is a bell curve Joe has regarding really really well informed educated people that know more than anyone does and then you have the likes of Gina. A tinfoil hat “COVID was done purposely” wearing fool. She said so much stuff that had be wanted to headbutt my desk.


    Nothing worse than an empty vessel that thinks they know it all.

    She also spoke about being cancelled by Disney for the first time in an interview. And she is also promoting a new movie. I think it's great that cancelled actors can still get invited on a major platform like Joe Rogan.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,194 ✭✭✭✭The Nal


    Well she kind of cancelled herself. Another thicko victim of social media algorithms.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,425 ✭✭✭Sudden Valley


    I think its just a case that some athletes are more interesting and eloquent than others, like some of mma fighters you wouldnt automotically know were fighters. Carano unfortunately was not one of the interesting ones.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,213 ✭✭✭Mic 1972


    Algorithms don't create themselves, they are set up by people. Cancellation and censorship have always been the action of people in position of power to silence those with opposing views. So it's great that Joe Rogan gives victims of censorhip an opportunity to reach a major audience



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,194 ✭✭✭✭The Nal



    He made her look like a complete tit aswell so fair play to him.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,425 ✭✭✭Sudden Valley


    Joe was a guest on Lex Fridman recently . It was his best podcast in quite a while! I do think that Joe is slightly feeling sorry for himself at the moment like he should get that as a celebrity the media can try to create a negative narrative around you.



  • Registered Users Posts: 55 ✭✭EdensTempleX


    For an alternative view of history, listen to JRE podcasts with Graham Hancock. He's been on a bunch of times... Listen in chronological order starting with #142... fascinating stuff.



  • Registered Users Posts: 55 ✭✭EdensTempleX


    Also, might have been previously noted but Maajid Nawaz episode #1780 👌

  • Registered Users Posts: 258 ✭✭SimpleDimple


    Did you listen to the episode where they had the skeptic guy on to debate GH? He crumpled when challenged, and I say that as someone who thought Hancock had all the answers when I heard him first



  • Registered Users Posts: 55 ✭✭EdensTempleX


    You mean Hancock crumbled? Did not listen to that one, What episode was this?



  • Registered Users Posts: 258 ✭✭SimpleDimple


    Ya Hancock did. Episode 961, worth a listen alright… I think that’s the episode anyway

    The episode 1840 is really interesting! Like old school joe. Just a guy talking about a.i. and the early internet.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 745 ✭✭✭barryribs


    Paul Virzi has been touring with Bill Burr for far too long, its like an impression of him at this point. Since he's gone to Texas it seems to be a lot of stand ups doing to the show, I could do without hearing about how important comedy is and what an art form it is.
