There is no upper limit to the value generated by a slackjawed middle age guy saying “Woooooaahhhhooohhh!!!” to another little guy talking about tiger penis hairline treatments
You may not owe slackjawed middle age guys better, but you owe this community better if you're participating in it.
I welcome an alternative description of your personal experience listening to Joe Rogan that is more “substantive” than what I’ve written. Admonishments are all well and good, but constructive feedback is even better if we’re asking for better posts!
Edit: To clarify, the term is a quote from Rogan himself in an episode so…?
It’s okay to not have listened to the podcast Dan, it isn’t for everybody.
I apologize for the flame war I started. The massive amount of arguing and misunderstanding in response to my earlier post makes me sick. It is my shame that no single person understood the reference
He fills sort of the same niche as Howard Stern, but Stern was more like that guy who still has coke at 3am and has a crowd around him listening to uncomfortable too-much-information stories because he still has coke. Then when he runs out of coke everyone leaves except the likely sex offenders.
Those are like two Jungian archetypes of that dude you talked to last night for too long, which means they translate nicely into a podcast or talk radio program you listen to for too long.
Rogan used to be a bit better but he's really gone down market since the first Spotify deal. He's probably just chasing the largest audience.
Same with the Lex Friedman podcast, where we don't have to listen to the "Tell me how this is all about love" question ever again.
