Redban was pretty loving disgusting in the recent episode where he was complaining about the movie "I Love You Phillip Morris".

Again, he somehow managed to win the lottery and fall rear end-backwards into his gig with Rogan and seemingly has never had to have any personal responsibility or exist on his own two feet ever.
Yeah, that was probably the first time I felt genuinely angry at that rear end in a top hat, rather than just the usual general contempt and annoyance.

I never set out to be weird. It was always other people who called me weird.
So, the latest Joe Rogan podcast released today has Daniel Pinchbeck as a guest. I thought that name sounded familiar so I decided to wiki him.

Wikipedia posted:

Daniel Pinchbeck (born June 15, 1966) is an author living in New York’s East Village, where he is editorial director of Reality Sandwich, a blog website centered around New Age philosophy and activism.[1] He is the author of Breaking Open the Head: A Psychedelic Journey into the Heart of Contemporary Shamanism and 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl.

Yeah, I think I'll be skipping this one...

I loved that movie, and so did all the friends I recommended it to.

There was an episode where they said he had to leave because the work was too much and he wasn't getting paid (enough or at all, not sure)

Rogan wasn't far off with the homophobia either. Don't leave him out of it.

Redban is a manchild of the worst kind. Listen to the latest Piecast with Little Esther. He comes off so creepy with his manchild laughter.

There's no doubt that Joe Rogan is complicit in the homophobia, but his core opinion seemed to be that it's uncomfortable to see two straight guys kiss. I don't think that's nearly as bad considering all he could do was respond to Redban's ridiculousness comments having not seen the movie.

I also love how that discussion lead to Redban throwing Kevin Smith's new movie under the bus to prove a point. This is directly after after he did a 4 hour podcast with them. Five minutes later, there's also the Vimeo discussion which is equally uncomfortable.

Joe says Rotten Tomatoes is always correct for him and that I Love You Phillip Morris, with a 71%, can't be as bad as Brian is saying. Then he checks Boondock Saints, 17%, and says it's always right.

Brian then tells him to type in Red State, knowing that it got a bad rating and knowing that Joe said he loved it on the last podcast with Kevin Smith. Joe stops him and basically says "Don't be a douche...don't be a douche...think about what you're doing..."

Daniel Pinchbeck is actually a very interesting guy and Breaking Open The Head was a great read. But I don't know how he will interact with Rogan.

If you're at all interested in psychedelic / spiritual podcasts the Evolver podcast and the Entheogenic Evolution podcast are pretty good.

How is Rogan a homophobe for not wanting to watch two dudes make out? I lived with a gay guy for 2 years and I didn't care to see it, even holding no hatred for gays. You can both accept gays but not want to see a dude make out with a dude. That's why I'm not gay, because it's gross to me. Thinking something is gross doesn't equal you are a homophobe. Reacting out of fear and hatred is being a homophobe.

I mean I agree, that's why I said what I said. It's more that there were several times during Redban's rant about the movie that I was surprised Joe didn't say anything. In retrospect that definitely doesn't make him a homophobe, but it was just a weird conversation. You're right though.

No, I totally agree that Rogan said some iffy poo poo, but it was a lot more benign than Brian going loving crazy over it. In particular the "I pretended to be asleep so my girlfriend didn't think I was gay!" was bizarre. As connected to the porn business as he claims to be you'd think he'd be more tolerant.

I thought the movie was great, and I'm generally not even a fan of Jim Carrey.

Yea, I'm hoping once they get some advertisers and become profitable they'll bring him back and pay him a kings ransom because he did so much for them for so long.

I think the podcast where they said it was the wolf den, his departure is also the reason Jeff has been doing his podcast out of his home.

I'm listening to this episode now, and that discussion was painful.

But now I'm at a point in the discussion where Joe doesn't believe most companies drug test you to get hired. I've been piss tested for literally every job I've ever had.

I didn't think the latest Rogan with Daniel Pinchbeck was that bad. He didn't get too new agey and it was just a lot of back and forth between him and Joe about how the world at this point is pretty hosed and unsustainable. I particularly liked how Pinchbeck didn't interest Redban, so for most of the show he didn't say anything. However, when he did speak it was utter trash and Joe seemed pretty embarrassed by what he was saying.

Episodes where Redban shuts the hell up are the best. Every once in a while he'll just sit back and let Joe and the guest talk poo poo or tell stories.

Man, I found all three of the Bumbershoot DLMs to be hilarious and most of the time the guests worked extremely well together(meaning some slid back and the cream rose to the top). You're right that Eugene Mirman and--obviously--PFT ruled that one, almost matched by Kyle Kinane and Anthony Jeselnik in the one before.

Kinane and Jeselnik were pretty funny, but I thought Metzger and Jordan were just flat-out trying too hard to match Doug's stoner comedian persona. I love DLM when he's balanced by fairly lucid comics (like PFT), but I guess I just don't have much patience for more than one "I'm so wasted"-type comic on the same stage.

I laughed my rear end off at Redban in the latest podcast and I normally can't stand his mush-mouthed nonsense.

I couldn't stand Joe or the Pinchin(?) dude's nonsense, and having someone interject with even stupider poo poo while Joe got mad and the guest got uncomfortable cracked me the gently caress up.

I don't dislike Redban as much as most people here apparently, but that was like a perfect storm of stupidity that I found hilarious.

edit: Just to say I normally love the podcast, but that one was awesome in a terrible way.

I've been to a few Comedy Central tapings, I've never been turned away. I think it depends on the venue, but I like to get there ~45 minutes before they say doors open and they start seating people. The last time I went to one we got there less than 45 minutes before they opened and we were in the first 20 people in line. Another time we got there an hour before and were towards the end, so it's a crap-shoot really.

I found that Pinchbeck guy to be so incredibly annoying, annoying beyond words. Any time Rogan would say something "out there", Pinchbeck would laugh. The kind of annoying laugh that assholes who look down on you laugh. As if to say "oh, that's silly, you're so dumb and that's cute", and then he would retort with an even more loving stupid out there statement.

I can deal with people saying things that aren't very informed or smart, but to act like you actually know something when you clearly don't drives me up the wall.
