The Joe Rogan Experience Podcasts

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.

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 ->

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.

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.

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.
