His stand-up was terrible
I saw one stand up of him and he had a bit where he was ranting against books. That bit says so much about him.
so is his sit-down
He can’t even fight back against science. He has no idea what that is. He just likes talking.
Edit: Mean but fair, if you got this far, check yourselves out for personality disorders.
I understand the reason. He is basicaly how your dad would imagine himself talking with a rich/famous dude. The problem is that the pepole that are there probably shouldnt be taken as seriously as they seem to be taken.
I will always have a place in my heart for News Radio and Rogan was an important part of the show.
Such a great cast, love me some Stephen Root and Dave Foley.
Definitely a mega cast
I miss Phil
In 2010 -2011 I never heard or saw any Mayan or Aztec person imply that their calendar indicated a doomsday. It was only Rogan and his guests.
When I was a kid, Joe Rogan was hot and either he wasn’t crazy back then or we weren’t connected enough for me to know the truth about him.
He was a really good MMA commentator when I was younger
Look here younguns that guy would tell us the Mayans invented cassette tapes.
James Mayans proposed the T23 shortwave transmitter that later led on to the first car based telephones largely thought to be the forerunner to modern mobile phones so he was right.
I can’t tell you how accurate this is.

The only motherfucker we needed to hear back then was Space Ghost. And he had his own dual-celled cohost.
In Ireland you just go to the pub and you’ll be sure to find some asshole ready and willing to talk shite to ye the whole night. People seem to think the Net invented this kind of wankers…
No, now the village idiots connect on social networks, exchange conspiracy theories and think they are the majority.
The net elevated them from being a drunk wanker at the pub, into a multimillionaire celebrities with cult following, dictating the future of the world.
Every village had a village idiot, now they network.
I was a loser smoking pot in a room with black light posters when I was young (17/18ish) but I never believed in conspiracy theories. And Rogan is a fucking idiot.
Joe Rogan’s gimmick started out as a knucklehead layman who would just have casual water cooler discussions about things they didnt understand, and he was upfront about how he was an idiot who didnt know anything.
the problem was that other knuckle dragging idiots started thinking that because they agreed with him because of confirmation bias, that he was right and eventually he noticed he had a huge following of people, and started to think that his own dumb opinions must be correct
I still struggle to understand how someone like that could even get traction because every time I’ve ever looked at a joe rogan podcast he’s usually just sitting there agreeing and brownnosing whoever his guest is. “Thats crazy, thats really interesting huh I didnt know that”… 90% of the time
The other 10% of the time he’s screaming into the microphone saying shit like “Fuck you Ukraine, you’re going to cause WW3 for defending yourself from an invasion”
Joe Rogan is one of the biggest knuckledraggers our society has ever produced.
The fact that he has millions of listeners is a testament to our declining society.
The guy makes apes look like particle physicists.
Everyone thinks their lunkhead is the Worst Lunkhead in History.
But I watched my parents’ generation proudly proclaim themselves to be “Rush Babies / Ditto-Heads” (terms the host eagerly appended to his annoying fan base) and paid out the nose to listen to Howard Stern on Satellite Radio. Before that, we had coast to coast shameless shill Wolfman Jack and the perennially getting-fired Don Imus.
They all had the same schtick. They all mainlined fad diets and new age spirituality and quasi-legal drug abuse. They desperately wanted to be sports broadcasters, but failed to fully break in because of their inevitable fit of racism or sexism. Its the same bullshit decade after decade, complete with faux-libertarian toxic masculinity and hawking magic beans in a six hour long sales pitch.
Before radio we had thousands of independent Carnies. After radio we’ve consolidated and monopolized the job of Carny under the job title of DJ or Talk Radio Host or Podcaster, take your pick. But they grow these assholes in a vat under the Pentagon. They aren’t unique.
Not sure Stern fits in there with people like Limbaugh… He’s changed quite a bit and is a really good interviewer. He might have been skeezy back in the day, but I don’t believe he was ever pushing right wing conspiracy bullshit or anything.
Stern was a shameless misogynist and sex pest. He was more than happy to shill quack therapies for everything from baldness to dick pills. He wasn’t a red meat spewing white nationalist or evangelical fascist. He ended up on the seediest end of the Libertarian spectrum, where any amount of social exploitation was acceptable so long as it made you a buck and it was cool to whine about a rapper from LA saying the N-word when he can’t.
And his show was as overflowing with hoaxes and conspiracies as anyone else on the radio. It was the same kind of Joe Rogan “open your mind until your brain falls out” style of cynical incredulity. Anything to fill the time slot that got people’s attention was on the table.
Sure Stern’s a turd. But he’s not a bad faith actor, and those cunce are worse for society as a whole
he’s not a bad faith actor
He’s just a series of ads riding a Sybian.
those cunce are worse for society as a wholr
They’re hawking worse merch, sure. But its the same grift.
Lol there’s a conspiracy theory I want to see pick up. Joe Rogan is a synth grown under the Pentagon, meant to divide the people
I miss when conspiracy theories were somewhat fun and mostly harmless. Black helicopters, CIA mind control, hidden aliens…usually the forte of those afflicted with questionable mental health.
Now? Conspiracies are nurtured and pushed with paid troll farms and wingnuts high on winning at literally any cost. Deliberately designed to harm and damage. Overwhelming the ability of reason and rebuttal to make a solid defense. Worse are those who so easily believe bullshit over decades or a century of objective proof of any kind.
The worst part is that you’re describing an actual real conspiracy that they won’t believe.
I want to believe!
The first conspiracy was Watergate.
After Watergate, Late night FM (new at the time) programming filled with a bunch of “Well what else is the government hiding from us?”
Someone eventually proclaimed that aliens were covered up at the Roswell Incident, which everyone had forgotten about after 20 years.
Kennedy assassination was before Watergate… Pretty sure there were immediate conspiracy theories with that one.
I do remembrer a time when I was younger where conspiracies scratched an itch with me. It was a fun rabbit hole of stories to explore, I wish they never became more than stories
Yep. They were fun and mysterious. Now they’re in your face and sometimes violent.
Well, you know, that pot-smoking, black-light-loving loser is actually Joe Rogan. He’s just gotten a little older and expanded his audience.
Democrat logic: Marijuana should be legalized.
Also Democrat logic: People who smoke pot are fucking losers.
Democrat logic: You should be able to follow your dreams.
Also Democrat logic: Being worth millions & having one of the most successful podcasts is being a loser.
This is one of the dumbest comments I’ve ever read, despite the word “logic” being used repeatedly in it.
Congrats. You’ve dipped my faith in humanity into negative numbers.
Oh no, now your faith in humanity is equivalent to your IQ.
How is anything in OP’s post related to Democrats? Who says they’re even freaking American?
If you want to rage bait over US parties, go to Twitter or Facebook or something. They’re optimized for that kind of thing.
No one outside the Democrat establishment thinks Rogan is a loser. It is a corporate Democrat talking point.
Another example of delusional conspiracy theorists not being fun anymore.
That is just false.
I have solid Trump family that thinks he’s an idiot.
He has/had some interesting podcasts and topics, but he still seems really gullible. And has said some stupid things. Not to speak of some women acquaintances who hate his macho style.
My friend, I think you need to stop viewing everything through a Democrat/Not Democrat lens.
Well clearly if a few Trump voters think it is true, then it must be true.
I don’t know why you took my figurative statement literally. People have their own opinions, but I’d almost best my left nut that a majority of people here celebrating & upvoting stuff like this are disgruntled Democrats desperately trying to reassure themselves in some way that their loss is someone else’s fault, and so circle-jerking a post calling Rogan a loser is the easy route since it reinforces their fragile egos, rather than taking time to better themselves.
No one outside the Democrat establishment thinks Rogan is a loser.
Do you play with dolls, because you love playing make believe.
And you love getting played
Says the edgelord running interference for Joe “Ape Man” Rogan.
LOL, running interference? You’re convinced that you’re superior to Rogan & his 14.5 million followers on Spotify. Prove it then, show everyone how great you are. People that need to believe everyone else is stupid cause they have such small fragile egos, are the stupid ones.
I’m outside the D establishment and I think he’s a loser.
Okay if you say so.
I think the “loser” judgement is not based on the level of success of the podcast
Pretty sure that is it. They are jealous of his success so they resort to name calling.
They are jealous of his success so they resort to name calling.
Yeah, it probably doesn’t have anything to do with some dipshit spreading mind numbingly stupid misinformation to millions of equally stupid people.
Yeah, he should prob just shut up & do exactly what you tell him to do. If not, would you prefer he be censored, arrested or hanged?
Lmao
Lol. Fuck off troll
Why are you so triggered?
We’re living in a reality in which we’re starting to see the real world negative effects of stupid people in large numbers. So stupid people are very triggering right now.
I guess reality is a lot easier when you believe everyone else is stupid, and you’re somehow smarter & better. Would take a lot more effort to self-reflect and work on yourself.
Believe it or not, you can think that something is bad for people without thinking it should be illegal.
Also, yes, you can have money and power and still be a giant fucking loser. If you achieve those things, it matters what you do with it.
Yeah but smoking marijuana doesn’t make people losers and most people don’t see Rogan as being a loser. I think the real losers are Democrats who are mad they lost the election & now they want to point fingers at people like Rogan & call him a loser.
and most people don’t see Rogan as being a loser.
Most people who graduated high school do.
& now they want to point fingers at people like Rogan & call him a loser.
We’ve been calling Rogan a loser for a long, long time because he’s a huge fucking loser.
I absolutely see Rogan is a loser for so fucking many reasons.
Then make those claims I suppose, but they are definitely opinions.
Your original post suggests there is some fundamental inconsistency with two sets of positions you attribute to Democrats:
1.) weed should be legal vs it has a negative effect on people (i.e. “makes them losers”) 2.) people should “follow their dreams” vs some people with power and money (who I guess followed their dreams) are “losers”.
Neither belief seems to necessarily exclude the other, so it’s a very confusing statement to me.
