Honestly surprising that Joe Rogan isn't on this list: he constantly has guests on that cover all sorts of interesting topics. Some of his guests are comedians or UFC related, but the other topics he covers are very good as well.
- splawn 9y agoIm sure those snake oil supplements he peddles on there make you smarter too. /s =P EDIT: I was just halfway joking when I made this comment (I vaguely knew that he sold supplements for body building)... However, I had no idea about the "Alpha Brain" supplement that he sells. And yes, the punchline is that he claims it provides "cognitive enhancement". And No.. there is no solid science behind it and certainly no doubleblind clinical trials. I only know to care about stuff like this from listening to other podcasts such as "This week in microbiology" and "Skeptoid" that perhaps did make me smarter. (at least I don't fall for supplement scams)
- InitialLastName 9y agoI'm sure he's got interesting moments, but it would be hard to convince me that "makes you smarter" is anywhere near Joe Rogan's resume.
- maniccowboy 9y agoJoe Rogan is the smart person's idea of a stupid person.
- InitialLastName 9y agoSomehow, also, a stupid person's idea of a smart person.
- kome 9y agoI think he is kinda street smart...
- InitialLastName 9y agoStreet smart : smart :: street drugs : pharmaceuticals
- ryanx435 9y agoHonest question: have you ever actually listened to any of his podcasts? Or are you just judging him by what you've heard others say about him
- InitialLastName 9y agoI haven't listened to his podcasts, except for the occasional excerpt that's bubbled up through the internet ether. I'm mostly judging him through my familiarity with the rest of his public activities: - The Man Show - Fear Factor - Selling garbage supplements and BS health fads without the least amount of scientific backing - the occasional stand-up routine/guest appearance
- ryanx435 9y agowow. so you admit that you are dismissing his podcast without actually listening to it. > but it would be hard to convince me that "makes you smarter" is anywhere near Joe Rogan's resume do me a favor, as one human to another, listen to just 1 of his podcasts before judging him. Its not even about him, its about the guests that he has on. Try this one, it is a mind blower: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USg3NR76XpQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USg3NR76XpQ
- InitialLastName 9y agoI'll give it a listen, when I have an extra 3 hours free. I'm not dismissing his podcast, per se, I'm dismissing him and his persona in terms of the phrase "makes you smarter".
