I know of someone who says they listen to Joe Rogan podcasts (political I assume) but I don’t know what this means or what the connotations are. Both this person and I live in east asia.

    I immediately assume that once someone brings up Joe Rogan’s previous acting career they are easily susceptible to bad acting and worse comedy and should be avoided.

      Newsradio was a fantastic show. You think it was filled with bad acting? How much of it did you watch?

        Phil Hartman, Dave Foley, pre conviction andy dick, kathy griffin, maura tirney, and a slew of others.

        Did not suck, was very good.

        Joe Rogan was not a huge part of why. He was just to show up, look hot, say his lines, dont try too hard, just be near the funny when it happens.

          Exactly but I’ve been crucified in conversation for bringing the show up because he was on there.

            Which is weird. You can not like him and enjoy the show, especially since his lines were written for him and he was a small part of it. You could enjoy Fear Factor too, it’s not anything like how he is now.

              Right? Like the person who was insisting he was always bald due to some weird blind hatred. Like the guy use to just be a dumb stand up comedian/actor. As far as I remember he wasn’t outspoken in the 90’s like he is now.
