[Closed] Joe Rogan - The Best Of

Oh cool you took a tiny bit of what I said (and ignored the rest) and made out I said something much more extreme then mocked that made up version. Haven’t we made great progress as a species and isn’t the internet wonderful.

You shouldna CANCELLED JOE ROGAN WITH YOU’RE SICK MARXIST CANCEL CULTURE. LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE. NOW BITCHUTE BEFORE THEY CANCEL THAT TO? SOYBOYFEMINAZI

THE STRONGER YOU COME AT US -THE MORE WE WIN. TRUMP 2020. BREXIT 2020. VISION 2020

No I read what you said, which is far fetched to say the least and took the piss. I don’t think Joe Rogan, who is the topic of this thread, has much to do with any of it. I think you possibly need to step away from the internet for a while. The world (the real one), on balance, is a great place full of decent people and much better than it was twenty or thirty years ago.

In real life at least people don't make such stupid straw man arguments all the time. I'm interested to know how things are better than the year 2000 now - I guess if you don't like intellectuals and foreigners maybe they are.

The only worthwhile thing you said.

Going back to the OP's question I enjoyed the Snowdon one and the Rob Zombie one. The Elon Musk one was quite compelling too.

I just finished the Alex Jones one. My first exposure to the guy. It was interesting. Possibly in inverted commas.

I know of more than one person who started listening to Joe Rogan and has gone down a slippery slope of the kind of incel type videos mentioned above btw.

Said people could of just as easily listened to the episodes with Neil deGrasse Tyson, Sean Carroll, Darryl Davis, David Goggins, ROss Edgerley, Megan Phelps Rhoper or Jake the Snake and been insprired or motivated to explore new ideas, see how people can grow and change their mind sets or make themselves a better person.

They would of been drawn to the negative ideas eventually if that is what they have chosen to pursue. Sure it is easier to get hours of out straight to your ears now but in the past it was a nutter down the pub or someone at work trying to pass you a David Icke book to open your eyes.

Op, writing the above made me remember guests, episodes worth visiting include:
Neil deGrasse Tyson & Sean Carroll - Physicists
Darryl Davis - African american who has conviced many KKK and neo-nazi's to change their beliefs
David Goggins - Navy Seal, ultra athlete, motivational person
ROss Edgerley- swam around the UK
Megan Phelps Rhoper - grew up in the West Borough Baptsih church and managed to escape
Jake the Snake Roberts - Wrestling, ill health and overcoming alcholism
Tyson Fury and Mike Tyson
Dr. Carl Hart - Addiction Professor
Michael Wood - Inner city police officer who came to hate all that is wrong with US policing
Paul Stamets - Mushroom expert
Edward Snowdon, - not normal JRE, more a monologue by Snowden
Randall Carlson - Geologist who thinks there was a mass extinction event that isn't recognised
Duncan Truseel and Chris Ryan - fun episodes called the Shrimp parade
Steve Rhinella - all things american wilderness and hunting
Dan Carlin - historian, has his own great podcast
Antonhy Bordain
Laance Armstrong if thats your thing

The only worthwhile thing you said.

Yet you’re still posting 😉 The only straw man argument here is your ridiculous statement indicating that people were turned by listening to his podcast. I’m not the only one that has poked holes in your bit of trivia either.

The notion that by and large the world is a better place than if was 20 or 30 years ago could be a thread in its own right.

Being a child of the late 60's, thinking about how things had changed from my grandparents generation to my parents and then looking at how my generation (or so I thought) had moved on from our parents I have to say, had you asked me at 20 what I thought things would be like when I'm 50 I'd have hoped for and expected things to be a lot better than they are.

As far as the UK is concerned, Whilst I can recognise strides that were made during the late 60's and again in the late 80's early 90's I fail to see anything much to shout about in either of the last 2 decades.

I think youtube's algorithm is to blame. Every time I watch anything of Joe Rogan's I start getting bombarded with Jordan Peterson and Ben Shapiro recommendations and I have to delete my youtube history to get it to stop.

It’s pretty stupid since it is probably less than 1% of his content.

You won't be surprised there is a JRE episode for that, that the world is a better place than it has ever been in histroy is the main crux of the work of Steven Pinker who has been on at least once, maybe twice

Things are a lot better if you're LGB. Open homophobia was pretty much accepted 20 years ago.
From my male perspective things look a little better for women, their concerns are at least discussed these days. And look at the amount of women in eg parliament these days, much improved.
TV is better. Bikes are better. Computers and related stuff are hugely better. I think food in the UK has got better too.

+1. Pinker’s metrics are fishy

Maybe in your experience? But for argument’s sake (and assuming your statistics support your argument) - how do we measure the data?

For instance:

Between 2014-15 and 2018-19 the number of recorded hate crimes based on sexual orientation across England and Wales went up from 5,591 to 14,491 - a rise of 160%.
Hate crimes against transgender people have nearly quadrupled in the last five years, to 2,333 reports last year.
But campaign group Stonewall said 81% of people who experienced LGBTQ+ hate crime did not report it to the police.

I supoose the data could be skewed vs your experience/data? How would we compare?

Anecdotally, here in rural nothingshire - last year I saw my first ‘kill gays’ graffiti on the reverse of a large road sign. Haven’t noticed anything like that for decades. Never here.

But the trending clickbait and lightweight talk-radio is to defer to pop science and write such data as ‘fake news’. Or ‘wokeism’

‘What do you expect from the Bolshevik Broadcasting Corporation’ etc...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-51049336

So the current rising trend in social media and talkinternet (I use that term as I would TalkRadio) is to view the BBC (and MSM In general) as some ‘woke’ pro-homo ‘fake agenda’.

Which is really quite a startling indicator of a kind of fast brick through the Overton Window?

Just 14 years ago we read:

Leeds study in March 2006, which accused the BBC of being "institutionally homophobic" towards "lesbian and gays, references to them, or related issues". The Leeds researchers found that 80% of portrayals by the BBC of those who are gay or lesbian were negative and accounted for just 0.4% of output. Focus groups used in the study accused the BBC of being the worst broadcaster in terms of gay and lesbian issues and their portrayal of the LGBT community.[35]

What would Joe say about what would Steven say? Etc...

If you want to laugh until your face hurts, the first Lenny Clarke episode. I must've listened to this at least 30 times. Absolutely hilarious

This is starting out as an interesting subject,

Never heard of him until I got targeted on Youtube with the Attia cycling conversation about Lance Armstrong / health / weight loss. Next I heard he was given $200m for his show by Spotify.

The clip I watched seemed like pretty harmless chat aimed at the everyman middle American. Basically, drink more, sleep more, exercise more... Appeared pretty harmless telling his audience what they want to hear.

Then watched an episode of Chernobyl which is pretty good btw. Now those people had real world problems...

The Dubin,Flom episode was horrifying,what a shithole america is if your poor and black.Clicked on first thing this morning and had to watch the whole thing.Unforgettable podcast.

Then watched an episode of Chernobyl which is pretty good btw

Go full meta and also listen to the Chernobyl podcast!

Ohh...

Anything with Duncan Trussell

Anything with Graham Hancock

He did one a few weeks back with a Dr who "predicted" the Corona virus outbreak 10+ years ago.

The Post Malone one from a week or so ago.

Anything with Dr Rhonda Patrick

Hope that helps?

Oh cool he's got Alex Jones on again. So edgy 🙄

Show’s over, folks.

JR: ‘****ing ape-meat, man. I’m going to try me some of that before they burn all of those ****ers out of the woods’
AJ: ‘Hurgh hughr. Hughrurgh thing is, thing is...hurgh hurgh...cancel culture don’t want you to do that, they want the (((globalists))) to make you eat plants and become gay
JR: Here I have to make it seem as if I mildly disapprove of your baseless claims...
AJ: Let the numbers decide.
JR: Imagine an ape-meat pattie with two beefbuns?
AJ: I don’t know what, what, ‘beefbuns?’
JR: Yeah like burger buns but made from meat not bread.
AJ: Is that real? ****ing ape-burgers with beefbuns?
JR: I’m not saying I know this but...a guy I know..
Producer: (Throw some more Globalist conspiracy in, the ape-meat thing is getting weird)
JR: Anyway, so anyway, this coal you’re talking about...it’s cleaner than water you say?
AJ: Water and carbon. What they don’t want you to know is that coal is cleaner than all that gay greenwash Democrat energy that they want to force you to drink
JR: Energy drinks?
AJ: Trust me. Let the numbers decide. The soy in soylent. Soy milk.
JR: ****ing soy milk man. I don’t know...
AJ: Would you drink it?
JR: **** no. I like mine from titties. Cowtitties.
(Producer): This is good stuff JR, keep riffing on the cowtitties. New impressions are off the charts...

* Emerging from said youtube marathons has reminded me of that sadly prescient comedy film. Of that American soldier who took part in a classified hibernation experiment, only to be accidentally frozen for too long and awaken 500 years later in a dystopian world where dysgenics and commercialism have run rampant, where mankind has embraced anti-intellectualism, and society is now casting off such hard-earned traits as intellectual curiosity, social responsibility, justice, and human rights.

I've been listening to Rogan for far too long now. less interested these days but he still does have good guests on which keeps me coming back

Try episode 1309 Naval Ravikant - My memory is hazy but i remeber it being a good one. Probably a good one for right now as some people might be struggling to stay happy and motivated throughout the winter!
