Listening to the Brendon Walsh episode now. Finally, after 140 podcasts, Joe finally calls Redban out on "most funniest."

I remember Rogan mentioning that his wife is from Texas and has a very "old school" mentality when it comes to gender roles and such. I think he literally says "me Tarzan, she Jane." That being said, I never really thought Rogan came off as a real misogynist. He says some macho things sometimes, but it never comes off as as actual misogyny. I think words like misogynist and racist get thrown around way too loosely these days.

Yeah there's a good reason he was so defensive about it. It tears him to shreds. This guy is incredibly full of crap. Found it here.

I actually came across this a few months ago, whenever I first heard Rogan reference Graham Hancock. So, going into the interview I knew the guy was a little batty and had some shoddy logic. I actually enjoyed the podcast despite all of that. I was afraid he'd be like some of the other "gurus" that have made for an awkward show, but he actually held my interest and there wasn't an awkward vibe at all. Part 1 with Rogan and Duncan and no Redban was a nice bonus, too.

are there podcasts where a guest gets in a real argument with redban or tells him how stupid he's being in detail? From the ~50 I've listened to I can't remember anything like that really happening (besides the joe/redban awkward incident), but I feel like with all the types of people he brings on there would be someone that absolutely cannot stand Redban

He had a huge fight with Bill Burr on his last appearance, and it was probably where he was at his most insufferable. He also got into a big thing with Ari Shaffir, but I can't remember the episode number. Bill was really just hot under the collar, and doesn't know Redban well so he was kinda just spouting off, but Ari knows him well and was cutting fairly deep without blowing up too much.

I just checked out the comments on the ustream vids with Ari, it's episode 109, toward the end. It's when they start talking about Ari's salvia trip (Redban keeps trying to bring it up throughout the entire podcast)

I don't think it was being hosed up that annoyed Joe, he just finally had it with Redban's interrupting the conversation to bring up something he clearly had been wanting to talk about all podcast, in this case it was his completely asinine "Franchise restaurant vs Mom/Pop restaurant" thing. I loved how blunt Joe was. "You know people listen to this, right? You really thought that story was good? You thought it was good enough to completely side-track the podcast for that?" and Redban almost seemed like he was actually apologizing (something he's never done), but of course 20 seconds later he followed it up with a snotty "Sorry for talking, I guess."

Cromulent: Dec 22, 2002; People are under a lot of stress, Bradley.

I actually didn't mind Redban at all on the last show where it was just the two of them. Redban was way calmer than usual and the dynamic between him and Joe seemed pretty natural. He's a social leper and I think he just doesn't know how to handle himself when Joe has a friend/guest in too.

Speaking of that, I recently relistened to the Doug Stanhope episode from last year, and there's a moment when Redban tries to talk to Joe (while Doug and Joe are talking) and he literally sounds like a 7 year old trying to get his mom's attention. "Joe...Joe...Joe....Hey Joe..."

Yeah, I can tell Rogan genuinely likes him a lot. From watching the video podcasts, it's pretty easy to tell who Rogan really likes and doesn't like so much, just by the way he looks at them. Watch the looks he gives people like Hal Sparks or Neal Brennan, compared to Bert, Tom Segura, Freddy Lockhart, etc. He also tends to be really contrarian with people who don't smoke weed with him before the podcast.

He was just some guy before Joe picked him up, right? Is that how he met all the pornstars he's been dating? He's attractive enough to them for some reason.

Yeah, he posted on Joe's message board in 2000 and was reasonably good at video editing so Joe put him on payroll and he moved to LA.

I saw on twitter that he was firing up the podcast that night to talk about it, but it ended up being a clusterfuck Icehouse show so I bailed. No idea if he talked about it or not. I'm also interested in hearing about it, but I can't stand those Icehouse shows.

Cromulent: Dec 22, 2002; People are under a lot of stress, Bradley.

I've been pretty annoyed by the commercials as well, although not quite to the point of stopping listening. My problem with it is that they'll be talking and get way off topic, and Joe will cut it off and say "This is a commercial, we'll talk about that after" and then they never do. Sometimes they get so off-topic that Joe doesn't even remember which product he's promoting. (although that happens a lot in the show itself, where they're so high and move onto another topic and then get distracted and say "uh, where were we?" and then they go back to whatever they were talking about 3 topics ago).

It just makes the show have a really slow, awkwardly disjointed start. I feel like it'd be better if it were split up, and the Fleshlight ad was at the start and the Onnit at the end or something. I actually appreciated the fact that Redban was trying to move the commercials along a few podcasts ago.

Joe: We're also sponsored by Onnit.com, makers of Alpha Brain...
Redban: Yep, and if you don't like it, make it yourself.

EDIT: And I agree with the guy above me, I've never minded the Fleshlight ads, even to this day. They usually spark some funny conversation. I've never heard any funny, or even interesting conversations during the brain pill ads. Just Joe being really defensive.

Newsradio is a good show and and worth checking out further - it's definitely better than most 90s sitcoms. Dave Foley and Phil Hartman are both great, and Stephen Root's character is hilarious.

Also, the Greg Fitzsimmons episode of the podcast was enjoyable. I didn't realize he and Joe went so far back, it was nice hearing them talk about starting out together.

Cromulent: Dec 22, 2002; People are under a lot of stress, Bradley.

I've been enjoying the different variety of guests lately. I guess what I like the most is the influx of non-stoner comics (Fitzsimmons, Gaffigan...even if I do enjoy Joe's circle of stoners), and non-new age pseudo-science guests such as Paxton. I wasn't sure how well Gaffigan would vibe with Joe, but it was pretty hilarious right from the start.

Are there any episodes in which they discuss the Carlos Menstealia/ joke stealing thing? I just watched the movie Redban put together on YouTube and it is loving hilarious, and would love to hear about it more in depth with better audio quality.

Not really. By the time they started the podcast, Joe had already wanted to completely put it behind him. Even when the subject of other comics stealing comes up, Joe tries not to talk about it, he didn't like how he was becoming some kind of poster boy for calling out comics.

But he does discuss it a bit with Maron on his WTF episode, so maybe try to find that.

If you guys are new to Jim Jefferies, I highly recommend checking out his appearances on Opie & Anthony (most are on youtube) and definitely his podcast, Talkin poo poo. Jim was good on JRE, but he is even funnier when he's with someone who's ready to laugh (which is probably why he got along with Redban so well). I like Rogan and all, but to me, his podcast is only like 20% comedy these days. It just seems like his disposition is so serious, and he's more concerned with blowing his own mind and "can you imagine?" type stuff. It's probably the reason why I've been listening less. There are several times where the guest says something funny, and Joe just doesn't react because he's too busy thinking of his next point, but then realizes he just stone-faced the person and will just say "Oh. That's hilarious." (the biggest exception to this complaint is the recent podcast with Gaffigan, where Joe definitely went into it being silly and ready to laugh, as opposed to just going down the rabbit hole.)

EDIT: And thanks to Jim's not-so-subtle clues on the last podcast, I found out Paul Mooney is gay. Certainly would have never guessed that.

Probably Tom Segura splitting from the Ice House Chronicles network.

Ari, too.

I like Jay and I think he's funny but he's a petulant child when it comes to stuff like this. I remember watching it all unfold on twitter. Jay asked Redban if he could have a show on the deathsquad network, Redban ignored him, so Jay started passive-aggressively slamming Redban on twitter because he didn't get a response. Then the Bert/Tracy Morgan thing came up on the show and that's when Redban started poo poo-talking Jay.

Jay kinda explains his personality quirks on his podcast a bit (he was always the youngest kid on the team, smallest on the block, youngest doing standup etc) so it's always an uphill battle with his ego. He's at least not as psychotic as he used to be (listen to the Mohr Stories with his former roommate Neal Brennan to hear how much of a giant rear end in a top hat he was).

But yeah, Jay is funny, and a master impressionist, but it's too bad he's got such issues. It's gotta sting a bit when two of the most respected comedians in the world think you're a oval office (Stanhope said on JRE two separate times that he's a oval office, and Louis CK referred to him as a "cocky rear end in a top hat" on Opie and Anthony.)

I caught a few minutes of the livestream and it was your standard Brian Manchild meltdown. The issue at hand is Brian not paying the comics for doing the Icehouse shows and keeping ~$150 a night for himself. I believe Duncan spoke up about it, which is what caused the latest drama.

Yeah, if you said all that stuff to Brian he'd respond with "Ok everyone's attacking me!"

I don't know how Ari and Joe didn't fly into a rage last night. The way Redban responds to criticism is just baffling.

Joe: Brian, we need to just sit down and work some of this business out off air. Maybe Icehouse can take over the booking and we'll work out a payment thing for the comics. I totally understand that this can be overwhelming for you. We need to work something out.

Redban: *sigh* Ugh if it makes you happy I'll just give up the deathsquad name and forget about the Icehouse and help comics somewhere else.

Joe and Ari: ..........

It's a fight Redban can never win. This week is not good for Brian considering we still have Jay Mohr to poo poo all over him.

Apparently Joe put the kibosh on that. I think it's because he's trying to minimize the drama on the podcast, especially this week. Jay "apologized" about the situation on twitter though.

I just don't think Brian should be on air. He's not funny, entertaining, charismatic, articulate, etc. I don't even mean that as an insult, since the vast majority of people aren't those things either. Up until the podcast, Brian was pretty much just a behind-the-scenes guy with Joe. When Joe would go on Opie and Anthony, Brian was always there, just never on air (because he isn't funny. There's a reason Ari would go on air when he was with Joe and not Brian). Joe needed someone to talk to when he started the podcast, so he did it with Brian, and here we are. Brian is suddenly a "stand-up" and an on-air personality, despite the fact that he's always been a video/audio production guy. He should stay off-camera and off-mic.

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."

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.

As boneheaded as Brian is, don't we all have "that" friend? I'm certainly not surrounded by wine and cheese connoisseurs.

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 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.

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.

With so many podcasts a week, and them being so goddamn long, this podcast definitely has a shelf-life for some people, myself included. I honestly can't even remember the last time I got through more than an hour, let alone a full episode. I don't even dislike Duncan but I find him tiresome to listen to now. I think the last time he was on I think I turned it off as soon as I heard "McKenna."

I also can't stand Rogan's phony "I love that guy" like with Jamie Kilstein, when he clearly doesn't like him at all. He does it with Dr. Drew a lot, where he'll trash the poo poo out of him, but then say "I mean I love Dr. Drew, but..." Yeah, sure sounds like you "love" Dr. Drew.

Considering the fact that Rogan is a comic, it's surprising how frequently he fails to realize when someone is loving around. It screeches riffs to a halt, and then when they say they're kidding he pretends that he knew the whole time.

I noticed it happens more with his comic friends. When he has other comics in that aren't his close friends (like Gaffigan, Jim Norton, Jim Jeffries) he's way more ready to laugh. But when someone like Ari or even Bill Burr is in, it's full of "Whoa. You really think so?"
