I still appreciate Joe's ability to kind of bring back that fleeting, adolescent feeling of awe and wonder when thinking about just about anything very critically, even if most of the time it is just silly stuff that makes you feel cool for thinking/talking about it and most of the time you have no idea what you're talking about. You know, stoner chat.

Really dug his interview with the Buddhist Geeks, s'good poo poo. Joe plays Devil's Advocate to actually good effect. VVVV--The girl did nothing to really contribute to the discussion, but I thought both sides managed decent points here and there. It seems to me the biggest problem is that they were from some sort of Buddhist community--in the sense that perhaps they were raised Buddhist and had biases as a result, which is an unfortunate problem of most religious communities. Buddhism tends to exist to deconstruct preconceptions, but it's just as susceptible to them as any other community. You see this well in their talk about the Isolation Tank, where the guy immediately dismisses it, asserting whatever his comparative experience was as being a more intense version, and Rogan basically shoots him down and makes him backtrack. Still, fun talk. I always enjoy guests like these, usually you don't get too many spirituality people outside of Duncan Trussell on the show.

Agreed, at some points their inner smug was starting to come out when challenged on something. The chick tried to hide it at least. I believe that 99% of Buddhists in the West aren't true Buddhists, they've just convinced themselves they are. When Robert Greene was on the podcast, he seemed genuine, but I was definitely not convinced by those two knuckleheads. Joe's interpretation of how evolution works was p revolting, though.

I listened to the War Machine episode out of curiosity. The whole thing he tries both justifying his behavior and pushes away the responsibility for his actions. Then there's little gems like "I just couldn't stop hitting him." "There was blood on the ceiling cuz I smacked him so bad." Also, his legal name is War Machine. Joe couldn't sniff out any bullshit cuz I mean he promotes on onnit.com and he's just prejudiced against because of his neck tats.

I seem to remember a story about Robin Williams being in the audience of a stand up who he was accused of stealing jokes from and Robin just opened up a checkbook, wrote a check and slapped it on stage; much to the amusement of the comics in the audience. Maybe Rogan told that one?

Helical Nightmares posted:I seem to remember a story about Robin Williams being in the audience of a stand up who he was accused of stealing jokes from and Robin just opened up a checkbook, wrote a check and slapped it on stage; much to the amusement of the comics in the audience. Yeah, Williams talks pretty openly about this on WTF. When the issue is brought up, he simply says that he was performing every night and sometimes he would say something and realize he'd heard it before or someone would come up to him and say that it was their joke, so he'd just pay them and then it was his joke. I've caught myself writing jokes that were largely the same as ones I've heard (thankfully always caught it before taking it on stage) and had friends that have told carbon copies of my jokes (then promptly stopped telling them once it was pointed out). For people that are around comedy a lot, it's pretty hard to prevent something like this happening. It's how the people involved handle it. Robin has admitted to doing this before and, honestly, I think he's in the clear (and I thought so before his passing too). Buying and selling jokes is surprisingly common. Sometimes you write something that's a great joke, but doesn't fit you for whatever reason, so it's usually sold or given to a friend who it fits better.

Rogans poo poo hot on joke stealing after the Menstealia debacle. He hit up Burt Kriescher on the Tracey Morgan PCP story that Burt had given Jay Moore and had some outrage about it until Burt told him that he gave Jay that story because Jay told it way way better, in large part due to the impression of Tracey he could do.

Incidentally, that's how the slap fight between Jay Mohr and Rogan's podcast happened. Bert Kreischer was on, and had only told half the story about how he lent the bit to Jay Mhor before Rogan interrupted with "That's stealing! That's stealing!" and Bert never really got to finish the story about how he actually lent it, or he misrepresented the story or something, making Mohr look life a theif on the biggest podcast audience, and Redban weighed in and later tweeted something to Jay Mohr which started a bitch-slapping Twitter war between Redban and Mohr. You can find Jay Mohr talking about it with Greg Fitzsimmons (either on his podcast or Mohr's - youtubing both their names will kick it up). So yeah, Rogan's pretty gung-ho with his accusations. Not that they're always without merit.

I think the issue that Bert had with Jay was that at first Jay told the Tracy Morgan joke in the perspective of 'this is a story of something that happened to my friend' which Bert was fine with. However it quickly became 'this is a story about something that happened to myself' and it became Jay's story completely, or at least until Bert told the machine/Tracy Morgan story on the podcast and gained his cult following. Bert has a whole chapter about it in his new book.

Of course, I heard it related from Jay Mohr's side which put him in a more sympathetic light. In fact, now that I'm not at work, here's a clip where they talk about the whole incident: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmWl-0eXgr0

So I've been listening to JRE a little recently (cherry picking the guests I like), and man, if you google 'riding coattails' there should be a splash page of Brian Redban. He contributes nothing, has no social skills, and consistently details conversation. There have been half a dozen times where I've gotten into a story or conversation, only for Redban to bring up some stupid loving video, or some lame thing from one of his other podcasts, or some boring story that doesn't have a point or punchline, or my favourite: where he just whines about something while saying 'I don't give a gently caress'. The worst.

That complaint is a rite of passage for people who first get into JRE. In fact, just see my post history for an evolution through all the stages of Redban hate (which someone facetiously pointed out a while back). He's nothing like as bad as he used to be, and he's only present for comedian guests now.

I do enjoy it when Redban and Rogan get into a goofy conversation though. There were times when Redban'd interject something dumb and Rogan would riff off it and hilarity would ensue. Also I feel a little bad for Redban because he's literally retarded 'cause he got gassed in some apartment he used to rent.

I'm gonna wager the guy was complaining about Redban in the Sroobius Pip episode. I was out hiking for the day so I was short on pickings for my mp3 player and put that episode on there along with a few other podcasts (I don't even like Pip but I had listened to most of my other new podcasts). Redban was so loving bad but I let it keep going, then at one point (after many awful Redban moments) I said "this is too much" and listened to an old UYD podcast I had already heard before. It was some of the worst Redban ever and I say this as someone who has listened to a lot of episodes. The bit where he just decides to talk about some dumb band he saw for 10 minutes and completely derails the podcast is mindbogglingly terrible. He's so unaware and unfunny. Also the guy has a valid point which has been my point forever, not only is he, dumb, unfunny, and lacks common sense, he can't even do his googling job properly. He has no redeeming features and episodes without him are noticeably better. Anyone who thinks otherwise is crazy.

I remember listening to joey diaz's show once and his fat jew sidekick was getting all mushy about redban helping him out our something.

I find Brian endearing. This dude has nothing going for him, has the mentality of a child and can't even search google worth a gently caress. He slaps together a few videos in Windows Movie Maker for the message board of a third rate comedian and leverages that into a life living in LA, having sex with porn stars and spouting his ignorant bullshit on a podcast that gets millions of downloads.

I'm not from North America so I've never heard of Stefan Molyneux, but I listen to plenty of philosophy podcasts and have a few friends who work in a philosophy department, and Molyneux doesn't sound like an academic or a philosopher... What's his reputation among those who know who he is? Because Joe is poking pretty big holes in a lot of what he's saying, and Joe ain't that sharp.

Turns out Stefan Molyneux is not Peter Molyneux so I've got no idea who he is other than from his wiki page.
