Yeah, joe rogan at times is like 5 different people in one. He definitely encompasses the alpha male, antagonizing douche bag enough that we know it as a part of his identity. Hes also admitted hes a bit of a control freak. I think as the viewer its annoying to see how he stfu and listens so many times, and then jumps off the roof so many other times. Its just, when we know joe can be better, and we’ve seen that better side of him, its jarring to see him be a flat out shit head to someone not provoking it.
Like, in this episode, he jumped off the roof about socialism, base income, and if a chefs restaurant represent the chefs recipes. While also making fun of abovetopsecret.com an old school conspiracy forum that turned to shit around 2009. It got a case of the 09ers. Anyways, yeah, he did all that, and ended his episode talking about annunaki space aliens contributing to the advancement of mankind, and knowledge of outer space. **Like oh, base income is crazy, and how dare a chef with a restaurant and a tv show tell me about food, but hey, aliens created modern civilization. BITCH! **
Like, i just want joe to sometimes breathe in moments of stress when we could get some decent insight from the guest, rather than belittle them into eventually having to be a part of the joke, or get made fun of. **Like, eddie huang had to become a part of the joke for the rest of the podcast after ASKING joe rogan how he felt about an idea he had. If he didnt become a part of the joke, hed likely get pissed off. Ive been in that position before. It sucks. Especially if someone you like is doing it to you. **
Joe is a dude bro who doesnt have as much control over his life that i think he wants. Its subtle hints through his instagram page, and the things he says on his show. Its like, hes trying to constantly reassure himself of shit, not anyone else.
I think joe rogan is a good guy, with questions and wants like the rest of us. He just sometimes shits the brick man.
For a guy who says he is stupid, and doesnt know shit. He sure enough has his moments of acting like he knows everything. Maybe he got into a fight with the wife, didnt get high before the show, and was just grumpy. Not an excuse, but damn. I thought the comments were likely being soft pussies about the episode until i finished it, and i was like oh shit, the comments were right. lol. He just played devils advocate in a much more aggressive and dickish way than i think needed to be done this episode. Its something he does a lot, but i dont think it was as deserved this episode.
