Joe Rogan is the gestapo’s voice. Joe Rogan is a piece is shit plus he is not funny.
I don't think he ever was. I never understood why people liked him. He always seemed like a poser to me. He wanted to be a cool guy, he wanted to be funny, he wanted to be a UFC fighter... I guess that kind of describes everyone in the "manosphere".
At one point he was actually kinda open minded and could raise an interesting discussion from time to time. Those days are loooooooong fucking gone. It's all just ego maintenance and propaganda now.
Admittedly I found him through his conversations with scientists I enjoyed listening to. Those days were good, they'd just have conversations about black holes and quantum physics. Then shit got absolutely out of hand and I never listened to him again.
Yeah I think what's missed is that there weren't a lot of long form podcasts like that at the time. It was great to be able to hear someone like Sean Carroll come on and talk about Spacetime for 3 hours and then have Joe convince him to start his own podcast, which is still going and really dang good. Joe served as the interested but uninformed audience to just kind of keep the person talking. Not to defend what it's become, but it wasn't always like it is now
It's too bad so many people found Joe Rogan more interesting than Stuff You Should Know, even though the latter started before Rogan. Josh and Chuck don't have whacky guests, but they talk about the coolest topics.
So what you're saying he was always a moron, just was open minded and let his guests carry the conversation?
Not just a moron, a smooth brain one that easily was manipulated by right wing social media rage bait nonsense.
He knows better, he is a manipulator, not manipulated.
That sums it up well.
He's relatable. He's that guy that's cool to chill with on the couch and talk about random shit. But he'll chill with everyone from scammers to Nazis on that couch.
His early comedy was funny in the 1990s bro sort of way. His podcast was hysterical when it was just him smoking weed with redban. The joey diaz fleshlight commercials are still funny to me "they put a little clean shaven monkey in there"
This was before the big money showed up to the podcast.
I tried listening to his podcast when it got big. It’s was boring as shit. I don’t know how people can listen to him talk for hours at a time.
I can maybe listen to a curated version where they cut out 98% and only leave in the part where they actually say something interesting.
