The Joe Rogan Experience Podcasts

Joey has some great stories and when he goes off on one I find it hilarious - Whatever your into tho!

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...

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.

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!

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!

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

I gave Jones an hour or so, couldn't endure the rest, he talks some ****e. Why are many conspiracy heads, stoners!

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

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!

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.

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.

Turned it off when eddie Started - I actually cant deal with it anymore - it gives me a headache - And someone ALWAYS starts him off - Its actually usually Joe and then he gets thick!!

Yeah but how do YOU know?

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