I've got fire. That's crazy. We're so stupid. That can burn a whole city down. Think of how loving stupid we are, and the fact that you can go to a corner drug store "give me ten of those".

This is why I've stopped listening to JRE unless it's one of the usual really good guests. I can't take Joe Rogan's stupidity anymore.

Is Duncans podcast any good?

I usually skip the first 20 minutes, but check out the Bert Kreischer episodes.

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.
I think he was going for a "you could get an album of a guy playing the kazoo while hitting pans" type of comment, but he's so goddamn unclever and unfunny, that's all he could come up with.

I also just listened to the Bobcat episode, and I thought Joe came off as a huge dick when Bobcat was talking about his movie/showing the trailer. Joe looked utterly befuddled why anyone would ever make a dark comedy about a guy going on a homicidal killing spree. Bobcat even kept saying "Look, I'm freaking Joe out!" when Joe was just staring blankly at him during it. Joe said "I'm just trying to wrap my head around it....." I can't tell if Joe's "everything must be 100% positive and not a shred of overt negativity" is just an act, or if he actually believes his own hype now.

Duncan's podcast is the best podcast on the internet.
Don't skip the first 20 minutes. His commercials and intro banter is hilarious.

I always enjoy the first 20 minutes, it's the rest that's hit-and-miss. The Daniel Bolelli episode was fantastic, with a well-spoken guest that Duncan brings out the best in (unlike his appearances on JRE), whereas the Tim Heidecker episode, while capturing and maintaining my interest in the same way a car-wreck does, was rescued only by Heidecker's amusingly analytical response to Duncan's repeated attempts to impute homosexuality on him. I'll continue listening to The Family Hour, but it's just as inconsistent as the JRE.

The Daniel Bolelli episode was great. The Johnny Pemberton one was pretty good as well, especially when he started doing a "baby Duncan in North Carolina" accent.

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.

The "yeahs" and "I don't know mans" were clearly an "I like you and I like your podcast, but gently caress your childish conspiracy theories when I'm trying to talk about real problems in the world." Rogan derailed Shane Smith quite a bit with his usual conspiracy/stoner philosophy garbage. With any other guest it is annoying but mostly tolerable, but when Shane Smith is the guest it's infuriating.

Considering how a lot of mainstream Egyptologists seem to have their head shoved as far up their rear end as the fringe Egyptologists, I really don't have any point to reference as to what makes someone a nut in this case.

Out of all of the weird hypothesis about the sphinx and the pyramids, the sphinx water erosion hypothesis seems to be one of the most grounded ones to me.

Last night I sent a link to the old video of Joe calling Carlos Mencia out for stealing jokes to a friend who didn't know about it.

A related video was a recording of a podcast with Marc Maron talking to Mencia about the whole joke-stealing thing:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZAq8u6Rs-E

I never saw it before last night, but I guess it's a couple of years old now. Mencia comes off as pretty much a crazy person (like not wacky crazy, but something is not right with his head crazy) who lies all the time about everything. At one point (in a later video... It starts out with 'Mencia talks about joke stealing 1 to 3' then 'hispanic comedians vs carlos mencia 1 through 5 or 6') he says that his "friends" want to beat the poo poo out of Marc for interviewing him about the whole thing.

That Bill Burr episode was definitely the funniest podcast they've done in a while. Bill is always loving hilarious and I have to go dig up that Opie & Anthony clip they played after work.

Is Burr's podcast any good? I heard it's just him talking by himself for an hour straight and I dunno if I can handle that much Bill, or anyone really :/

Burr's podcast is solid if you like Burr. However, sadly, pre-mid 2011 episodes aren't available on iTunes anymore. His best podcasts are EASILY the ones where Nia sits in, so you give them a search.

However, the funniest thing I think he has ever done is the radio show he did 2007-2009 with joe DeRosa, Uninformed. It can be found on YouTube and elsewhere. It is really, really funny.

Whatever. I had no problems with his theory, but accusing all scientists of having no creativity, his claims that modern science is inferior to the science used by the ancients because of spirituality or some poo poo, his obsession with bobblehead dolls. Oh and he thinks evolution is a lie. He was even freaking Joe "Mushrooms are a portal to another dimension" Rogan out.

Aren't the old ones just on a different "channel" or whatever? I thought I read that somewhere, could be wrong though.

Burr's podcast is pretty great, IMO. Agreed that the ones with Nia sitting in are the best.

I sat through the archaeology stuff even though he came off as a kook (Beware anyone talking about how 'Anyone who disagrees with me is afraid of the TRUTH!!') because the topic wasn't something I particularly care about. But then they moved on to astrology and I had to drop out.

I can't get enough of Bill Burr's podcast. Even with him sitting by himself, it's just pure gold, and when he occasionally has guests on, it's off the charts. It's definitely my favourite podcast, but I do love Bill Burr, so YMMV.

Bill Burr is indeed one of the best, and the podcast was great. Even if "overly serious Rogan" struck again when Bill was joking around about letting the weak die off.

Bill: Eh, I'm one of the weak, dude. I should've died in 1980 from appendicitis.
Joe: Whoa.
Bill: There's too much medicine around man, we need to let the weak die off. I would've been one of them.
Joe: Whoa. Do you really feel this way?
