Between listening to the show for almost 10 years and the Texas move just changing the overall vibe, it was time to quit Rogan for me about '21. I would occasionally check to see if he had an interesting guest on and listen to that but I don't even do that anymore and haven't for some time now. Once a near-daily part of my life and now I don't think of it at all

 
Rarely even tried to listen to JRE after he moved to Spotify. I was happy when JRE came back to Youtube and planned to start tuning in again, but I find myself rarely clicking on episodes still.

It's not even just JRE, a lot of podcasts that I used to watch/listen to almost daily, I rarely check out anymore. It's like most of the podcasts I liked started to suck really bad during the COVID era and I quit caring. They might be good again for all I know, but I still have no interest.

You can only listen to a person talk for an hour or two at a time for some long without eventually being annoyed by everything they say

Joe has a lot of unentertaining and / or uninteresting guests on his podcast.

My favorite episodes back in the day used to be the comedians. Was always interesting hearing about old Comedy Store stories or him and comedians talking about random dumb shit. Now days he gets a comedian on and within 5 minutes he starting bombarding them with vaccine boogeyman shit and trans cancel culture liberals are evil shit.
 
Think that's why Are You Garbage is the only podcast I never really got sick of, even though I don't watch it much anymore either. Just two funny comedians asking funny questions to another funny comedian and shenanigans ensue. Just funny people having a great time.

Thats why I used to love the Comedy Store Podcast, it would just be two hosts and a guest or two and all of them really did grind it out for years at the Comedy Store and they'd just be telling all kinds of crazy ass hilarious stories about all the lunatics that frequented that place, not just the struggle ass stand up comedians and wannabe stars but also all the general Hollywood dirtbags and even the homeless crackheads that hung out there everyday
Everyone of em had a story and they were all working a con in one way or another, so many great hours of carny bullshit entertainment
Then they just stopped posting episodes

They recently came back, switched over to video form and post it on Youtube now but I havent checked it out yet


 
Just clicked on the Are You Garbage youtube page to get an episode in and maybe get back in the habit and they got Rob Lowe on the latest episode. That's random as hell, but could be a great one.

 

A few days late but I just saw where the Bad Boys from Boston are officially calling it a day. Steven blew out his vocal cords and at 76, they just won’t ever recover.

It’s a shame what all has come out about him in recent years that has stained them but I’ll always have great memories of mama roll taking me to see them for one of my first concerts. They’re a band who always reinvented themselves and stayed relevant for 50 years. The most talented, edgiest or loudest rock band? No, but their music just captures that’s windows down, sun’s out, driving American spirit

I never really watched that much unless he had an interesting guest. But he was notable especially in the earlier shows to touch on conspiracy and esoteric topics. He was the first mainstream interviewer that I know to have on Graham Hancock who wrote Fingerprints of the Gods back in the 90s that a lot of people into esoterica were talking about. Some people may not realize but before the internet people still talked about this stuff. I remember my dad and uncle talking about things from that book as a kid. So it was cool that Rogan would find these guys and bring them on. He was a bit of a pioneer in that regard.

The beauty of his show was bringing people on like that and asking them questions for 3 hours. He was the epitome of the Ted Lasso Be Curious mindset. He introduced me to a lot of things I’d never really thought about it.

There just came a time when he switched from asking questions to thinking he was the smartest guy in the room

This sentence just took me back to a simpler time

At first Im like, yea does that really need to be explained but then Im like well maybe it does to all these young whippersnappers that never set foot in a Tower Books late on a Saturday night when all us weirdos would creep in to stand around for hours in the conspiracy aisles looking through self published copies of Behold A Pale Horse or Holy Blood, Holy Grail


Sweet, sweet memories

And thats a shoot

Getting a fat haul of magazines and books from Tower was one of my true joys back in the 90's

Yeah. Something became strange with him. Sometime around episode 1200 or so he started smelling like a government spook to me. He could have always been and the show originated from that but there was a big shift. But I never really cared much for him so it wasnt a big deal to not watch. The weird, fringe guests were always the draw for me. The earlier episodes were really cool for the time, though.

We are getting old. I wish I didn't have to explain it but a lot people wouldn't know about the magic of sitting in a garage while your dad and uncles are drinking and smoking listening to Art Bell on the radio with someone supposedly phoning in from the future. Young Ol Rex's wheels were turning in that smoke infested garage, Pete. It was a simpler time.
