Rogan's Protect Our Parks latest episode was fucking hilarious. It was classic JRE. They made funny of R Kelly music videos and it was absolutely hilarious. I love when those guys get together.

 

[BertleTheTurtle]

I want to hear Dan Soder on JRE already.

Some seriously good storytelling. Felt like I was listening to an intense thriller.

That guy (Bobby Green's trainer) really seems like someone you wouldn't want to mess with. US prisons always seem like hell holes so he must have been pretty tough to have survived.

I always enjoy Douglas Murray. He's making the rounds on other podcasts as well. I just saw him on Peterson for those interested.

 

[Aurelius]

Episode with Douglas Murray was great. Probably resulted in a lot of screeching employees again at Spotify HQ.
Funny how Joe mentioned that the whole controversy and cancelation attempt actually resulted in him gaining 2 mln subs.

Jordan Peterson predicted that this would happen.

I don't hate the left at all, I just despair at their stupidity. Why do they keep trying to shut people down knowing it has such limited results and mainly ends up turning people against the left.

 

[DragoonKain]

Michio Kaku on today. I looooooooove him. Looking forward to this one.

Douglas Murray recently sat down with Lex Fridman as well.
I do appreciate Murray's wit, even when discussing heavier topics.

Gina Carano is on today. To my surprise, she said this is the first podcast appearance she’s ever done. Still have a huge crush on her even all these years later.

Do they get into the whole Disney firing her thing, or compare it in anyway to how they treated Johnny Depp?

About halfway in and they talked a little bit about it. Not really much about Depp. She really is a delightful person. Always smiling, charismatic. I was really bothered by her being fired by Disney, I cancelled Disney Plus over it and get all my content they put out from torrents now.

It's absolutely insane that putting beep/bop/boop in your Twitter handle caused a PR meltdown. But that's what happens when you allow crazy people to control discourse, you get crazy discourse.

And through all of it, she's never said a bad word about anyone, just keeps a positive attitude.

 

[DragoonKain]

One of the things Gina Carano said that took me aback was when her agency dropped her over a stupid tweet, that same agency has stood by James Franco and still represents him, a guy who's had accusations of sexual improprieties by 5 separate women.

Goes to show you how crazy things are. In some circles, you're considered more toxic if people think you're "right leaning" or poking fun at pronouns than if you're a sexual predator.

Bro they kept Ezra Klein and his C-tier performances in Harry Potter/Flash even though he'd assaulted multiple people. Only after he kidnapped some underage girl he was grooming and eluded the authorities did Hollywood reconsider. Meanwhile Depp was tossed out -- despite immense talent -- from the very same Harry Potter movies.

There is no logic to it.

 

[Ryuji Goda]

I’m really enjoying the Ryan Holiday episode (#1836).

Also looking forward to the Gina Carano episode.

 

[DragoonKain]

Rogan was on Lex Fridman's podcast and Lex said he's going to Ukraine and Russia very soon. I think in a week or so. He's going to try and interview Putin.

I'm worried about him. He said he plans to spend a month away until he comes back.

Just came back to this thread and realized I meant Ezra Miller, and that Ezra Klein's that hack at Vox. Whoops. Nobody called me on it though!

I really hope Alexei doesn't get hit by a random missile or something. Would be a terrible loss for humanity.

And I don't think he'll get Putin, but maybe he can get Trump since Joe is too scared to do it...

It’s interesting how the comedic taste of people so vastly differ. I’d say one out of every 20 episodes or so, Rogan will being up Kyle Dunnigan. A dude who uses deep fakes to do impressions of people on social media. Rogan is obsessed with the guy. Cracks up hysterically every time. I’ve never laughed once. Not because I’m offended or anything, I just have never found his material funny or his impressions all that good.

 

[BigDeadFreak]

Remember when Rogan was the worst person in the world and everyone was calling him a white supremacist? That manufactured outrage lasted all of two weeks.

People wonder why the world is in such a mess but when the public can be so easily manipulate and yet have the attention spans of goldfish, those in charge can do what they want.

Rogan is a B tier comic who frequently misses great jokes from his guests. Dunnigan is low hanging fruit, it's awkward when he has an actual serious comic and tries to show them that crap. He's good at setting up other guys for stuff though, Theo Von's last appearance was hilarious, Tim Dillon is aces of course, etc. etc.

Been listening since 2014 so not trying to dunk on him or anything -- big fan just don't think he's a great comic.

 

[DragoonKain]

Mike Baker was on yesterday I always love those episodes, except the Boston accent

Agreed, Joe is just a deeply unfunny person but he's great for other comics to bounce off like theo, Dillon, mark Normand, etc. Same with schaub - his strength is being a good audience IMO. Schaub laughing at delias jokes will never get old to me

Podcast Guests Are Paying Up to $50,000 to Appear on Popular Shows

Critics call it “payola,” and say listeners deserve better disclosure of promotional ties.

www.bloomberg.com

Article to show Rogan isn’t even mentioned let alone in on the payola, and the above is just a clickbait disingenuous insinuation

its a joke my dude

its a joke my dude

Obviously coulda fooled me with the deluge of anti Rogan propaganda that is the norm as if disingenuousness isn’t real. Either way failed as a joke

Edit: my bad Dozzen G!! Issue was my joke game clearly way slower than yours… I get it now!!

Zuckerberg on today

 

[12Goblins]

Zuckerberg on today

im an hour in and this feels like a giant advert for zuck's new product D:

 

[Maiden Voyage]

Zuckerberg on today

My outie became an innie when I read this.

 

[TaroYamada]

Man string of serious guests, Louis, Zuck, Rodgers, Mustaine. Mustaine he needed to brush up a bit better on, dude's moved a lot of records and is one of the best singular talents in the history of metal music. Like, at least know some of his work bruh.

 

[DragoonKain]

Is Rodgers the first active professional athlete Rogan's had on in one of the 4 major American sports(NBA, NFL, NHL, MLB)? This excludes MMA, boxing, rock climbing, etc.

I can't think of another one. He's had athletes on in the past from those sports, but they've all been retired.

 

[12Goblins]

nice episode today with an evolutionary psychologist

here's a fun clip

 

[EverydayBeast]

Good podcast joe really breaks things down, Spotify on an iPhone watching cnn try to stop him during Covid was wild, joes an expert and knows what he’s doing.

 

[Maiden Voyage]

CNN almost got away with it too

 

[LiquidMetal14]

The Shane Gillis episode was hilarious once again.

 

[Golgo 13]

The Shane Gillis episode was hilarious once again.

Yeah Shane is an awesome comedian. His special on YouTube is really great.

 

[TaroYamada]

The Shane Gillis episode was hilarious once again.

I listen to every POP, Gillis and Duncan episode with glee at the gym or in the sauna. The only issue is sometimes I damn near fold under weight, gotta be real careful about laughs.

 

[12Goblins]

somebody really needs to teach JR some critical thinking skills
if you watch the clip in question, the watch keeps banging on the table, but even knowing that joe still cant figure it out

just hears the bit of fake news that he wants to hear and runs with it, adjusting the story as needed when there are corrections (see clip), until hes eventually shown to be have been grossly misled by his own ignorance and then ignores the subject entirely, never evolving his worldview or obtaining a more nuanced take. rinse repeat its fucking annoying

 

[Golgo 13]

Few episode commentary-

Jim Breuer - Fun podcast. Usually comedians on Rogan are fun.

Joey Diaz - Meh. Diaz has been much funnier (he’s barely doing standup anymore, probably why), but this was still an okay Podcast.

James Fox: I haven’t seen his movie but this guy isn’t the most convincing UFO guest I’ve seen on Rogans podcast. This podcast was okay but not as compelling as Jeremy Corbell or the fighter pilots.

Dave Smith: Great podcast as always. Smith is intelligent, seems to have unique and surprising perspectives on world events and politics.

Dr. Aseem Malhotra - Boring podcast, couldn’t get past the first 30 minutes.

Ms. Pat - Another comedian. Funny and worthwhile just for the silliness.


Anyone else see recent episodes and have thoughts on them?

 

[Ryuji Goda]

I always skip the stand up comedian guests.

 

[Golgo 13]

I always skip the stand up comedian guests.

Really? I think it highly depends on the guest. Tim Dillon, Dave Smith, Shane Gillis, Louie CK are all great episodes that made me laugh out loud, or in the case of Dave Smith, made me think about stuff.

I’ve also found that pre-judging a podcast based on what the guest does isn’t always a good idea. For example the Peter Burg episode, which I almost didn’t listen to (who gives a shit what some director has to say) was very entertaining and informative.

You’re right, but I don’t have the time so have to make choices.

I am bummed that I can't see the ep with Zach Bryan. For the love of god please go back to YouTube when your Spotify contract is up Joe.

Just the exclusivity contract. Dunno if Spotify's video content improved but I hate watching it on their player.
