I wish there was a Joe Rogan's podcast where all of Joe is edited out, and I get to enjoy the guests without any of his commentary about the crazy college kids, and the woke cultural marxists, elk meat and DMT trips. 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.

    I find his voice incredibly hard to listen to, he slurs in a way that just makes it hard for me to keep my attention on what’s being said.

    New AIdea... A "fast-forward or mute when person X is talking" app/plugin/whatever. You'll never have to hear X again! The core tech would actually be pretty simple, considering what's available open source.

Joe Rogan is "that guy at the bar." He's fun, bros it up, doesn't challenge you too much, and he totally used to do MMA. Then when he gets a few too many in him he leans close and starts asking "do you really think they went to the moon?" Then the bar closes and you're pretty sure he drove home even though he was hammered. 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.

Ok, but please don't post unsubstantive comments to HN. You may not owe slackjawed middle age guys better, but you owe this community better if you're participating in it. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

  Have you listened to the Joe Rogan Experience? If you find “slackjawed” to be inaccurate, video recordings of the interviews are also available for you to review. 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 was obviously an unsubstantive flamebait comment regardless of what you meant by "slackjawed". Not a borderline call.
    - jrflowers 3y ago
      When discussing Joe Rogan do not quote him or comment on the substance of the podcast in any way. Any reference to the comedy podcast that itself may be construed as being a joke is not even a “borderline call“ for moderation, got it. 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
