Honest question: have you ever actually listened to any of his podcasts? Or are you just judging him by what you've heard others say about him



I haven't listened to his podcasts, except for the occasional excerpt that's bubbled up through the internet ether.

I'm mostly judging him through my familiarity with the rest of his public activities: - The Man Show - Fear Factor - Selling garbage supplements and BS health fads without the least amount of scientific backing - the occasional stand-up routine/guest appearance


wow. so you admit that you are dismissing his podcast without actually listening to it.

> but it would be hard to convince me that "makes you smarter" is anywhere near Joe Rogan's resume

do me a favor, as one human to another, listen to just 1 of his podcasts before judging him. Its not even about him, its about the guests that he has on.

Try this one, it is a mind blower: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USg3NR76XpQ


I'll give it a listen, when I have an extra 3 hours free.

I'm not dismissing his podcast, per se, I'm dismissing him and his persona in terms of the phrase "makes you smarter".
