re: Question for Joe Rogan podcast listeners.

I don’t listen. I’ve seen his stand up though

Then don’t comment on it. He always approaches his guests with interest in their specialty and never acts too smart or like he has all the answers.

I like his podcast, but Rogan isn't nor has he ever really been all that funny.

I first saw his stand up in 2004ish and have been following him ever since. Awesome guy

He seems to have "beginners mind" and seems to want to learn from every guest he has on.

That's why I dig him

I'm a big fan of the podcast and don't love his standup at all and I'm a big fan of standup comedy. I like Joe a lot and believe he really enjoys learning and bringing info to the masses. He's obviously not as bright as most of his guests, but he is constantly saying what an idiot he is. He's a great interviewer, too. I guess I've listened to close to 500 episodes. Don't pay attention to UFC so I bypass almost all of those.

I'm not a huge fan of his standup but it's ok.

Standup is fricking hard. There are only a few standups that really make me laugh out loud.

He constantly brings on extremely intelligent, interesting, funny guests and the format and setting is perfect for anyone wanting to kill a few hours and typically get more knowledgeable about a broad range of topics. His interview style is what separates his show from anything else. Never tries to overpower guests with his own opinions even if it doesn't agree with them. Asks fantastic questions, often playing devils advocate. You get to hear very smart people answer sometimes challenging questions. The conversation is almost always in an unbeat or not too serious mood but they often lead to you thinking slightly different about people or their ideas. It's a very open minded podcast and he never really forces and agenda on the listener or the guests.... Other than live a healthy lifestyle, smoke weed and meditate


All that being said, my wife wanted to surprise me with stand up tickets and I said I'd rather just go to a concert or something with her. I've never been able to appreciate his stand up.

Rogan loves to play different characters depending on the audience

His podcasts never really did it for me, he comes off as too self absorbed

quote:

Joe Rogan is also not as smart or clever as he thinks he is.

---

He is very good at asking follow-up questions and basically poking and prodding at his guests. Very good interviewer that knows how to point out logical inconsistencies without being too confrontational.

He nearly made Milo cry.

Yes, I am woke as frick, love ufc, know way to much about random low key stand-up comedy, and think Hollywood is bizarre.

this sums up his show perfectly
