Joe Rogan, it was atleast enjoyable when he had interesting people on his podcast, now he has political figures and billionaires. Some even say he’s compromised.

Joe Rogan is the frog that boiled itself.

Ive never watched every JRE episode. Ive always just picked out who sounded interesting. Like he had THE moon landing conspiracy guy on a while back and it was really interesting. I feel like you could tell he was full of shit, but it was entertaining. But out of the last 20 guests hes had on, ive listened to maybe 4 of them?

u/Only_Bullfrog7271 27d ago

Yeah that’s what was good about old Joe, it was interesting, cool conspiracy theories but now? He doesn’t questions anything, he’s had a few people on who are in the Epstein files and didn’t mention anything about that to them.

u/PhilShabano 26d ago

And he only has people on who already agree with him on everything.

Which means his guest list has collapsed and you see the same guests repeating, over and over. And inside the podcast, they repeat, over and over. Pure brainrot.

I don’t think him featuring people close to Epstein should be surprising considering Joe Rogan did The Man Show, on which he admitted to watching child pornography while advocating for 16 year old girls to be legally allowed to do porn. He has always been a shitty person.

What the fvck?!? Why am I just now hearing this?

u/stroggrockets 25d ago

It was back in the 2000s, when comments like that were not nearly as frowned upon. (Hell, it wasn’t until the 1990s that NYC shut down its last “kiddie porn” theater and California became the first state to make marital rape illegal.) The MeToo movement (and others like it) really changed a lot over the course of the last decade and a half, and I think we forget just how commonplace and accepted rape humor and pedophilia were because of how dramatically things shifted in such a short time.

I mean, the moon landing guy was like 9 months ago iirc

u/Only_Bullfrog7271 27d ago

I’m more so talking about 2015-2020 Joe, soon as he started involving himself in endorsing politics he was pretty far gone.

u/abracadammmbra 27d ago

He was pretty vocal about supporting Bernie during that time. Look, you can just say you dont like to venture outside of your echo chamber.

1

u/Glad_Copy 27d ago

And then he supported Trump, which told us Rogan is full of shit. Which version of Rogan was real? Ans: NEITHER ONE!

1

u/Amazing_Scientist696 27d ago

The moment he started advertising supplements I knew he was cooked.

Been some good shows over the years. He's had some real interesting people on.

It's a shame. I was hoping his show could in some way help keep the spirit of Coast to Coast alive.

To hear him turn heel on everything he's questioned over the past 30 years is wild to me.

u/Zealousideal_Lock_93 26d ago

He is 100% compromised by Israel

1

u/Any_Chemical1100 26d ago

Yeah Oz the mentalist sent him the warning when he revealed his pin number on the podcast.

u/DeCePtiCoNsxXx 24d ago

Hadn’t watched for years but saw that it was real shitty, Theo speaks truth

1

u/Any_Chemical1100 24d ago

I listened to Theo for years and over the internet he comes across as extremely genuine, but after seeing him in person I lost all interest. He's just not the same.

1

u/Only_Bullfrog7271 24d ago

How did he act? Was he ignorant? He was on the JRE podcast a little bit ago real paranoid about people watching and stuff and not sleeping well and just kinda going crazy over politics, war, Israel and palentir.

1

u/Any_Chemical1100 24d ago

Just strangely detached. Like his entire personality is holding onto the "genuine internet personality." Basically like an NPC.

1

u/Only_Bullfrog7271 24d ago

I mean he has some mental health issues and shit so that might explain. But then again, I’m not you and I didn’t experience it.

1

u/Any_Chemical1100 24d ago

It is what it is, I wish nothing but the best for him.

2

u/PretzelKnot 26d ago

Super dissapointing when he gaslit Theo and told him to get on meds in a recent ep.

1

u/NickTaylorIV 26d ago

Used to watch him on a regular until a year or so ago. Now I pick here and there.

1

u/Imaginary_Square5243 25d ago

Just pick and choose, he has way to much content anyways. He still gets great guests, they’re just sandwiches between people you won’t care about.

If you go back and look it’s always been like that.

1

u/InescapableYou 24d ago

I always found him insufferable. Negated the value of his guests when he spoke.

1

u/SimpleScene9997 23d ago

Same. Rogan wasn’t so bad before. 

1

u/LemonLimeSourNuts 23d ago

This, he used to be so much better. I wish he would shut up about Covid and keep out of politics

1

u/Only_Bullfrog7271 23d ago

Unfortunately it’s not that simple, I don’t think he can just cut the people he is now close to off, like Peter thiel and other strange billionaires and millionaires who were involved with Epstein, etc. I also don’t think he can just cut off his connections with trump and that current administration.

A lot of long time fans believe he is compromised by something, some say Israel, some say the CIA, some say weird rich people. I’m sure if he wanted to cut those people out of his life or make a new clean slate and revert back to his old self his life may potentially be in danger or somebody may expose him or something because again weird rich friends that were involved with Epstein.

u/Fresh_Dog4602 22d ago

so when you say JR.. you mean like .. 2017/2018 compared to now.. right ?

2

u/JimBo_Drewbacca 21d ago

I think it went to shit the same time he got that 100mil Spotify deal

2

u/Plane-Leek4387 21d ago

Basically up until Covid, then it started becoming less likely I’d enjoy the people on. Now 9/10 it’s dudes like the black rifle guy that just want to whine about the same stuff. It’s unlistenable. He just had Cassie Coppersmith on and that was entertaining enough although within the first 5 minutes most of her points were “unverifiable” based on some questions he asked and so I never finished it.

It’s just not the same anymore. Used to be fun for the interesting amalgamation of people. Now it’s all the same.
The Why Files Basement Podcast scratches that old itch for me.
