He certainly thinks he's funny. Anytime I talk with someone about podcasts I immediately ask them if they watch jre. This will give me an indication as to how bad their taste in media in general is

He used to be. The funniest thing I remember seeing him say on stage was "Nobody should listen to me! I'm a fucking idiot! I tell dick and fart jokes for a living, I don't know what I'm talking about with politics or medicine or shit! Nobody should take my advice about anything except what kind of snacks to get when you're stoned."

Because of where he is now, that one always stuck with me.

i gotta get the fuck out of here

It's so well produced, you'll enjoy the watch. But a summary is that Rogan has formed a deluded cult around him, making the world an incrementally worse place

How Joe Rogan and his sphere of yes-men comedians were co-opted by billionaires with daddy issues (a recurring theme) to usher in a nation-wide simulacrum where anything can mean anything so techno-feudalists can rule with impunity. It also explores the death of satire and stand-up comedy as an art form, another recurring theme from previous videos.

Watched his videos sequentially in order, I'm honestly in a little bit of awe. The Stephen Crowder and Schaub ones were soooooooooo good.

Him hosting fear Fear factor helped his career a lot. So did being one of the favourite characters on News Radio.

Many people know how from UFC commentary, which you can't say he doesn't do a damned good job for that.

Calling a spade a spade, he is known for a lot more than just UFC and connection to Dana White, as much as that did help him

Joe Rogan (to me) was "funnier" than Mencia. That's not saying much.

Yeah it was, pleasurable to watch. And a good analysis.
