Oddly enough, I have never listened to the Joe Rogan Podcast except for snippets found on YouTube with the guest du jour. Mostly, that involves him asking some basic question and the guest greatly expanding on the topic. I used to watch NewRadio (1995-1999) in which he was a one of the regular cast. That was back when he had hair. Anyway, I was folding clothes and turned on the TV. I needed something that was more listening than watching and this looked like just the thing.
Joe is very animated and frequently turns up the volume. He's no Sam Kinison, but I was reminded of him occasionally. Many of his bits focused on current political topics. He riffed on COVID, which is on brand for him. Prior to COVID, he viewed vaccines as a modern miracle but afterwards he has his doubts. So many doubts. He covered the Trans debate, suggesting that extra words were needed. An off-road vehicle is still a vehicle but it has extra functions. He didn't offer a word. He talked about his days on Fear Factor, why aliens always use the anal probe (this is on brand for his character from NewsRadio), and his life in Texas - most memorably his love for Buc-ees! Speaking of Texas, I was startled to see that the show was at the Majestic Theater in San Antonio! Cool.
Entertaining? Yes. Funny? Yeah. Profane? Oh, indeed, yes. This is not a show for kids. Certainly not for all audiences.
