EDIT: Is the CIA guy interview worth listening to at all? I don't know anything about the man, and the thread's impressions seem to make it seem like it's not really much substance.

I shut it off after an hour or so, just boring.

The Dom Irerra one today was pretty good, couple laughs, im almost done with it. Lots of psychedelic talk in the beginning.

They are trying to sell some shirts on brian's website during the ad portion of the intro now as well.

It doesn't help that every person whom I know who actually likes Sam Harris is militant as gently caress when it comes to foreign policy, especially now that you have something as incredibly loathsome as ISIS presenting all the perfect fodder for the people who have been defending our constant destruction of the Middle East and Iraq.

I don't know if I'd go as far as to say I "like" Harris, but, if it helps, I'm the opposite of militant regarding foreign policy and have enjoyed what works of his I've read (which, admittedly, is only a couple).

Yeah. If only to give you a bit of a different side to Joe.

Christ, Does the JRE come to about 9 hours of content a week? That's a lot. I'd run out of things to talk about.

And always different topics too, in the latest one with Dom they were talking about this stuff called DMT, it sounded crazy.

JRE is the only podcast I don't set to auto-download. 3 long rear end shows a week is more than I have time for, but I like Sam Harris, comedians, and most of the MMA guests. Kreischer, the hunters, that druggie comedian with the annoying voice, and all of the libertarians can all eat a dick though. Joe reminds me of a 16 year old me with his ability to believe anything and speak authoritatively on subjects he really doesn't understand.

The only good JRE episodes are the ones that have older comedians on. I guess I like hearing stories about how the stand up comedy scene was in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. This also applies to Marc Maron's podcast as well.

So apparently Rogan may be talking about #GamerGate in an upcoming podcast, has he said who will be on for it? I was looking around his site, but so far I haven't seen anything about it.

Last I saw he just tweeted a request for what #GamerGate was about. Which I assume resulted in like 3 hours worth of reply tweets arguing with each other over who was providing the most biased of sources. Also Misogyny SJW Sexist Corruption White Males #Notyourshield Misogyny

Hmm, I heard it was a definite thing. Well, if he actually does talk about it, it should at least be more interesting then watching a bunch of retards flinging poo poo at each other on twitter and tumblr.

To be fair, knowyourmeme and ED are often extremely accurate in Internet Matters whereas anything Slate upwards tends to rely on second hand accounts. Hell, if you can point me to a site which traces the origins of catch phrases and memes on the internet that trumps knowyourmeme let me know.

There's something about him that just really rubs me the wrong way. Can't listen to him.

Love Tom Segura, and Rich Vos is great.

I think Rogan is at his best when he's getting into social commentary, be it comedy/world affairs/national news, etc. I just don't dig when the podcast becomes MMA-fest and he has to have Eddie Bravo come in and fill the chair.

As a long time Howard Stern fan, it's very akin to when Stern has a porn star as a guest on the show. Once they walk in the studio, I normally change the channel since I know that it's a safe bet that they won't have anything really interesting to say, unlike when he has guests like Louis CK, Bryan Cranston, etc. on...then I'm all ears. But when Rogan has Mike Baker, Neil Tyson, Bryan Dunning (huge Skeptoid fan here), Carolla - those are the shows I really look forward to.

I love how Rogan's go-to impression of a dumb close-minded skeptic basically became Brian Dunning after his appearance. That just popped into my head.

Oh, also, Joe De Rosa's bare insecurity reminds me of Brody Stevens. Doesn't make good listening. I just can't deal with it maaaan.

It's another one of those instances where a guest thinks aloud, Joe misunderstands and it takes like half an hour to clarify what they were trying to say because Joe talks over the top of them and goes off on tangents.
