Rogan, remember when you said that every time you say you don't believe in the moon landing, it makes you sound like a complete moron? This doesn't help either.

Eh, Rogan is just open to information. You've gotta admit what he posted is fishy. It's not like he's hopping on this bandwagon and making a birther site or anything, jesus people. Chill out on the poo poo talking.

Exactly my feelings on him, that's why I had to turn it off after 30 mins. Though since my first post on it people have said he was kinda in character or something (who or what I don't know) so I'm not sure what to think, other than it doesn't make enjoyable listening.

At this point, I think that replacing Redban with somebody who's less of a dweeb would take away a lot of the show's charm.

The very idea that some of you think Redban brings something to the show is mind-boggling to me.

He literally doesn't know how to form a sentence, interjects with the stupidest shticky topic that doesn't relate at all to anything, and thinks it's clever and funny to add 'butthole' to searches and feels like Olive Garden is the pinnacle of humor.

Agreed. I would listen to the show regularly, but Redban makes me stay away. The good news is, he mostly keeps quiet for the eps that are more focused on MMA. I pretty much stick to those.

I came to chime in about how much redban sucks. I listen to one out of maybe every 10 episodes and jesus is he terrible. The funny thing is I just read the first two pages of the thread and half the posts were bitching about redban then I skipped to this page and .... well.. same story. Rogan must realize he is bad for the show, but he is friends with him and would feel too bad sacking him since hes been there for so long. I think he would even feel bad demoting him to a non-speaking engineer role, but really redban's role could be filled by so many better people, names or not. He has so many bad character flaws that make for a really obnoxious on air personality. I listen a lot for the MMA aspect of the show and was so glad he didnt say a word during Chael's 3 hours.

e-ahahha just saw the post above me, we basically share the same sentiments.

I'd definitely be more forgiving of his quirks because there'd be a reasonable assumption that he's just immature and he'll grow out of it eventually. At 37 that kind of goes out the window and they just become huge character flaws.

e: That's not to say he still wouldn't be annoying as hell, just that at 22 Joe might have more of an influence on him as an almost fatherly figure instead of Brian seeing him as a peer.

I'm of the opinion that Redban is a "love to hate" character that people don't consciously realise they appreciate, and that his removal would leave a gaping goatse-like void that could only be filled with a similar 4chan-esque personality to complete the bitter-sweetness that makes the Rogan Podcast. I believe he's an effective lightning rod that attracts the angst that would otherwise be directed at Rogan, a character who's often as infuriating as Redban.

If Redban wasn't part of the podcast, this thread would shrivel. Face it, hating him is half the fun.

I was dying the other day when Joe started to give some love to C2O coconut water, and Diaz just instantly cuts him off with "That poo poo goes sour like any other coconut water, dogg. All that poo poo in the can goes sour. I've been drinking coconut water fresh since the 70's dogg, I was drinking coconut water when you were in Columbus drinking Coca-cola from a red can, motherfucker."

I only listen to podcasts with mma personalities, Diaz, or a celebrity I really like. I actively avoid the other ones solely because of redban. He is not part of the fun for me, and I don't think he needs to replaced with a "4chan type character" whatever that means. Anyone with a sense of humor and some actual radio timing would be 1,000 times better.

I know the great thing to do is to bitch about JRE (I've done it a lot too) but I'd like to mention that I really like the filmed post-podcast videos they put on Vimeo. Very relaxed and natural. And I kinda like the wide lens look to them, and Redban doesn't talk much.

Joe's habit of not looking people in the eyes when he speaks to them kind of annoys me for whatever reason, thogh

Yeah, Shane Smith was awesome as always. It says a lot when the guy days without sleep, drunk, coughing constantly, and still one of the best guests.

I like how he doesn't ever really buy into or fuel any conspiracy stuff that Joe brings up and asks him to confirm or deny. He just kind of chuckles, pauses and says "I don't know, man" but not in a condescending way.

It's probably because Rogan was having to do ALL the legwork. I felt Shane Smith couldn't be hosed (which, given his physical state, isn't surprising) and that every conversation attempt from Rogan was met with something non-committal that couldn't really be taken anywhere, which left Rogan thrashing about and having to fill the empty space.

The "yeahs...." and "I don't know mans" weren't particularly conducive to a free flowing podcast, but it's interesting to see a positive slant put on them a few posts above.

I see this thrown around all the time and am always confused how it's somehow a positive spin on his character. Sure, we've all had friends like that, and I'm the type where if someone is extremely annoying, I don't hang out with them.

I'm listening to the latest Joe/Brian episode, and there's a typical "can hardly form a coherent thought" Brian moment. They're talking about how the porn industry is going under because it's so easy to make your own now, and how radio stations are failing because it's easy to start your own podcast. A legitimate subject. And then Brian follows it up with "Or like with music, like before you could only get what was in stores and stuff like that, but now you could get a band where the singer and guitarist are dead and it's just a drummer, like, whatever your fetish is." He said that with no hint of irony or humor. What the gently caress does that even mean?

I didn't listen/watch but it sounds like he might've been referencing the Tupac "hologram," not that that would make any more sense given the prior conversation.

But that's beside the point, people have mentioned a few times that everyone has that friend like Brian. Yeah, I did, and I stopped loving hanging out with him because he was an annoying little poo poo who would constantly interrupt conversations with inane awkward bullshit and have blow ups and hold grudges for the pettiest things with all my other friends(much like the whole Trussel debacle.)
