    The recent episode with Tim Dillon was very funny. Well worth a listen. The 3 hours flew by.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,415 ✭✭✭Sudden Valley


    Yeah the lous ck episode went deep into the techniques of stand up comedy and it was the worse for it. So boring.



  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 10,623 Mod ✭✭✭✭humberklog


    I thought the Louis/ Joe List episode was mostly ruined by List's lame comedic interjections.

    I watched the movie last night and really liked it and Joe List is very good in it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,415 ✭✭✭Sudden Valley


    Did Joe ask Louis CK about the scandal that got him black listed? Just think if he doesnt mention it at least slightly that i might not bother listening to it.

    Thanks may listen to some if it. I know Joe likes to have pleasant chat with alot of his guests so sometimes does bring up any controversies involving the guests.

    The Mark Zuckerberg episode was a bit of a snooze fest.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,415 ✭✭✭Sudden Valley


    Unfortunately Zuckerberg is not an interesting person. Never heard a good interview with him. Rogan probably trying to mix it up a bit woth the last few guests being mostly comics. That guest Alex Berenson was insufferable to listen to.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,415 ✭✭✭Sudden Valley


    Another Covid related podcast with Aaron Rodgers. Watched some but it was just a bit repetitive.

    The Kamaru Usman episode was surprisingly enjoyable. Joe is at his best with comedians and kombat sport athletes.



  • Registered Users Posts: 77 ✭✭Munstersrebel


    i dont listen regulary as i dont have spotify. But i did enjoy the one with Luke Thomas a long while back. Luke i listen all the time too :)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,842 ✭✭✭Patsy167


    The Sam Morrill episode was the pick of the bunch this week.



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


    I missed the fight companion episodes, long time since I seen one they are so silly but very enjoyable. A few belly laugh moments.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,423 ✭✭✭Did you smash it


    Not much traffic here. Don’t listen much myself. Listening to Tulsi Gabbard. An hour and a half in and I have no idea what her policies are in terms of education, the economy, law and order, infrastructure, abortion, emigration, regulation of big tech, China, any other issue really.


    what I do know: she is anti woke and anti nuclear war.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,415 ✭✭✭Sudden Valley


    I couldnt listen to her. I would agree that the West is walking a tightrope in fighting, even indirectly, against Russia but I found Joe is too enamored with Gabbard and didnt really get at what her preferred solution was in Ukraine- whether she thinks Ukraine should give up the east and Crimea.I think Gabbard has realised she can make more money as a Right Wing talking head so it was a great idea of hers to go on the podcast just before announcing her own podcast.

    I can not remember really as I think I did not invest much time into her appearances. Maybe she is a bad speaker. But to play devils advocate what might also affect it is Joe is (often) very good at remembering what he spoke with guests about before. So he can (often) avoid going over the same ground a second time.

    So if it seems like a guest is focusing on one topic and not discussing others - it may sometimes be due to the fact they covered that other ground before.

    If memory serves Gabbard has talked with Rogan at least 5 times. Which I am guessing brings a sum total of anything from 10 to 15 hours of content. I suppose I would have to listen to the whole lot before I could work out if she has covered her policies well or not. I recall she appeared during her presidential candidacy with Jokko Willink sometime near the end of 2019. Perhaps she discussed her policies better in that one? Again my memory is failing me here. Might have to go back and re-listen myself.

    Just relistened to the Jokko / Gabbard one at 1.5 speed. Can't say I am an expert on her policies after listening to it either really. If I had to summarize what I learned from it I would say:

    1) She is big on bypassing corporate media, going straight to voters, to deal with the truth and making the democratic party more open and transparent. What that all actually means in practice was not clear however.

    2) She was taking quite a lot of pride in how she finances her campaigns. Not taking donations from corporate media or businesses, but taking it directly from voter contributions.

    3) She talked a lot about more unification and cross the aisle messages. Again not sure on the specifics of this in practice however.

    4) Most of her message in that podcast was around her having a much more non interventionist foreign policy. Focus tax payer dollars internally rather than to the war machine.

    5) Some vague mentions, again without real details to criminal Justice reform, ending marijuana prohibition, immigration reform, and a reevaluation of US policy in relation to Syria.

    6) A lot of talk about breaking up monopolies, especially in social media.

    7) Interestingly she said very strongly she intended not to leave the party and run as an independent. No matter how often she is asked, she says she gives the same strong answer. Three years later now it seems she has changed her position on that one as her recent Podcast is about her leaving the party. I wonder what has changed in the interim. I might listen to her podcast later to find out.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,415 ✭✭✭Sudden Valley


    Fair dues for you to listening to the full podcast and summarising her positions. I just could not get into that episode. It is grand to say that she does not support interventionist foreign policy but even Ireland intervenes in its peacekeeping operations to protect civilians in Africa and the Lebanon, I would agree they should intervene less but the protection of ukraine and Taiwan I think is a noble endeavour.

    Gabbard marred her reputation by going to the CPAC and propagating the Ukraine biolabs conspiracy theory but apart from that I dont know much about her.

    The latest podcast with Daily Wire's Matt Walsh was quite funny. Joe grilled him for quite a while to his opposition to gay marriage- tied matt in knots.

    The pandemic really exposed some people as gobshites when the tide went out on rational thought and in Rogan's case you can add in a could-not-give-a-sh1t attitude for listens with no thought or care about the possible consequences.



  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Rogan is so wrapped up in this "culture war" that he'll believe some outrageously stupid things.

    That Bret Weinstein podcast is the reason why I stopped listening to Rogan. Utterly insufferable.

    Also no mention of the wonder drug Ivermectin that Weinstein was pushing for the past two years. I wonder did they agree not to mention it as it would destroy Weinstein's credibility in an instant. Does anyone remember the "emergency" podcast the pair did with Pierre Kory pushing that drug? It really was the height of misinformation.

    “I was informed last night that this tweet is fake,” Rogan, 55, tweeted in his apology on Thursday, before explaining how the episode’s segment was edited and subsequently removed.

    “The show was already out, so we initially decided to post a notice saying we got tricked,” Rogan said. “Then later thought it best to just delete it from the episode. My sincere apologies to everyone, especially the person who got hoaxed.”

    Not the first or last person to be duped by a story or tweet. Offers a full apologies to all involved, retracts said statement and edits podcast to remove offending material. Seems like a reasonable and appropriate response.

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



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,175 ✭✭✭✭The Nal


    When you have 11 million listeners/watchers a little due diligence wouldnt go amiss. Its amateur hour.

    Amazing also how the continued lack of due diligence in this area has only erred one way....



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 743 ✭✭✭barryribs


    The implication is that he has a responsibility for everything he says to be accurate, he's a comedian and if you are following him for medical advise you have deeper issues than a fake tweet



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,175 ✭✭✭✭The Nal


    Sure. I like him. But only when hes talking to MMA guys. Hes not a very funny comedian and I've no idea why anyone would take his political or scientific opinions seriously.

    Just think when someone has a big show and they get duped by fake tweets it looks bad. Not for misinfo reasons or anything but its just shoddy.

    Rogan has even been known to go on a rant about something (growing food here) that he somehow manages to link to Anti-Vaxxers in his own head along the way, but then finds out that it's complete fake news that he somehow imagined seeing somewhere - all within a couple of minutes (see below)

    But normally he will just let the bull fly without a check

    Rogan decided that getting a vaccine was too pro-establishment in his own head even though this was health above anything as "edgy" as that dumb notion

    With an average listener age of a very impressionable 24 in the 11 million listeners and as the saying goes "the stupid person's idea of a smart person" it's no coincidence with such classics as advising younger people not to get vaccinated (eventually half-backtracked) that the poll data conducted by media found a well below average age-adjusted demographic vaccine aversion in his listenership and this was back in the days when vaccines did significantly prevent spread (and do still reduce long covid risk which affects all ages)

    Science defeats perennial weed smoking comedian in shocker.

    🤡



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


    Not that i want to start a debate about the efficacy of vaccines but there is no evidence that getting jabbed prevents from long covid, any evidence will come with time. We are too early into it to know that



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,344 ✭✭✭✭JRant


    Well with an average age of 24 for his listeners then statistically speaking they are very very low risk of anything COVID related. So what's the big deal?

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



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,344 ✭✭✭✭JRant


    Yeah but nobody gets it 100% right all the time. I think his response was professional and it was a straight up apology and correction. Honestly, for 2/3 hour long form conversations there is a very high bar being set. Even the likes of the NY Times get caught by these things. It happens and everyone moves on.

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



  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]



    Notwithstanding the fact that the vaccine reduces long covid risk which can affect all ages in a serious manner the actual point is that Rogan wilfully courted dangerous anti-vaccine fruitcake conspiracy theorists like Robert Malone (who hadn't worked on mRNA technology in over 20 years which is eons in that area but some muppets were seeking to point to this as relevance) in a cavalier and indeed deliberate manner for increased listens along with other advocates of "alternative treatments", none of which have since proven effective and had an anti-vaccine agenda himself that he sought to promote before being rapped on the knuckles.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,344 ✭✭✭✭JRant


    Is he not allowed have whatever guests he likes on? Nobody is forced to listen to him after all. This bit seems to confuse so many people but he has absolutely no requirement to have a "balanced" debate or guests like the BBC.

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



  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    this and the his own favourite defence "I'm only a comedian who talks to people" have been gone over before.

    it's a childlike facile argument where issues like actual impacts on public health are the case.

    giving a one-voice platform format with a large listenership to a character like Malone is just outright irresponsible.

    he doesn't give a fcuk what negative outcomes there could be - he has proven that a number of times.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,344 ✭✭✭✭JRant


    The only thing that's childlike is assuming that people can't listen to a podcast and form their own opinions on what they hear. You're just assuming that everyone that listened to that particular podcast, with a specific guest, just lapped it up and didn't engage in any critical thinking for themselves. That's a far bigger problem than having guests on that you don't agree with or like.

    I also believe that the ability to read minds is bunk so you'll forgive me if I'm skeptical of your assessment as to what he was thinking at the time.

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

    Rogan wilfully encouraged and facilitated the spreading of complete misinformation in the case of Malone.

    That's the actual point.

    Even if a small percentage of the millions of Rogan's listeners swallowed it damage was done.

    Again that is the actual point.

    I watched the Eddie Bravo episode and I now believe the earth is flat. Because that's how media works



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,262 ✭✭✭✭MrStuffins


    THis is a pretty infantile way of putting things.

    Sure, people can listen to podcasts and shows and form their own opinions, but when things are presented as fact and then crackpot experts are brought in throwing misinformation all over the place, that's where dangerous "opinions" start to cultivate.

    Eddie Bravo is a BJJ teacher with absolutely no background in any of the sciences who blurts out nonsense he's heard on You Tube. Whenever he's on the show, the subject is never to debate Flat Earth. Even when they had Alex Jones on they didn't discuss it, with Jones calling him an idiot for believing such nonsense.

    This is not the same as Joe propegating a very particular line of reasoning on Covid vaccines and related topics and then bringing onto his show hand-picked "experts" to back up his viewpoint who DO have a background in the things they are talking about who then go on to spread misinformation on the subject.

    Joe even went and admited that he went a little too far down the Covid rabbithole and landed too far over on one side of the fence for a while, promising to balance things out. Which he did. It was an admirable admission and he 's always been good in that way. He can check hiimself and this current one is another good example. He realised his mistake, he apoligised and removed the misinformation and that's commendable.

    But it's a bit disingenuous to dismiss the act of spreading misinformation. If you are presenting something as fact, the least you should do is to make sure what you are claiming as fact is indeed that. You can aftertime all you want and say "Well, he's just a comedian" but you know that's rubbish and just an excuse.

    Also the "who is forcing you to listen to him" is the weakest of weak arguments. More excuses.

    How about a low-effort meme




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,362 ✭✭✭✭Snake Plisken


    Meme below is more accurate. Joe seems to upset a lot on the by offering differing opinions. No excuse to say those who listen to his show are not able to make up their own minds.




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 743 ✭✭✭barryribs


    There are no excuses, there are hundreds of thousands of podcasts out there to listen to and if you don't like Rogan, turn it off. Vote with your wallet, if you have a spotify subscription then cancel it and let them know why.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,262 ✭✭✭✭MrStuffins


    Nice canned response but you seem to be mixing up "He is spreading misinformation" with "I don't like it".

    Saying "Listen to something else" is a fine response to "I don't like the show"

    Saying "Listen to something else" is a non-sensical (at best) answer to "Joe Rogan is saying things that are factually inaccurate".

    You seem incapable of understanding this.



  • Registered Users Posts: 257 ✭✭SimpleDimple


    Episode 1914 with Siddharth Kara on the cobalt trade is brilliant and is good old Joe Rogan podcast

    An other recent episode I’ve enjoyed is 1908 with the lady on bees

    The podcast is best when not getting dragged into American culture war politics or talking about the comedy scene again



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,262 ✭✭✭✭MrStuffins


    Exactly. Joe has always had a wide range of very varied and interesting guests on his show. It's a great show and has been for a long time. Joe himself tends to be pretty balanced on most issues and is self-aware most of the time. Like this instance where he has messed up and apologised, which is fair enough.

    But the pandemic seems to have had the same effect on him that he had on many other people. It has pushed him into pigeon holes of thought and reasoning and he's become kind of obsessed by the "culture war" nonsense and Covid issues.

    On one hand I understand his issues with this "culture war" stuff. I can't count the number of articles i've come across who not only misrepresent what he is saying but also what he is about. And it's purposely done.

    At least he's big enough to admit mistakes and check his behaviour. He's not purposely spreading misinformation and when he does so by accident (like last week) he can rectify it.

    Those writing the articles are not only the opposite, but they are purposely spreading misinformation IMO. It's wrong.

    But hey, just don't read it eh? 🙄



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,842 ✭✭✭Patsy167


    The latest Jordan Peterson is well worth a listen. I would never listen to any of Jordan's own podcast but any time he's been on Rogan he's been excellent.

    I find everything about him irritating. Hes like a messiah for thickos who think it makes them feel intelligent.

    Dont mean you btw, you just watched the podcast as I will, but hes held in very high regard in the thicko community.
