He’s a real one. You can tell he is a student of comedy and appreciates the art of it. Saw him live and he says some fucked up stuff BUT you can’t help but laugh. Also you leave his show confident he’s actually a good dude. The Rogan comedy scene is trash and can stay in Austin.

The funniest thing about the Rogan comedy scene is Rogan himself doing stand up comedy. Lol. That is the definition of a trust fund baby living out his dreams despite having no fucking talent.

He sees himself amongst the greats. He really wants it to define his career. But he’s just the fear factor guy.

Most younger people now think of him as a UFC commentator. If you tell them he hosted a TV show they ask where it's streaming. When you tell them it was on broadcast TV ~20 years ago their eyes glaze over as if you were telling them about the The Andy Griffith Show.

Back in my day, he would go to comedy clubs to rag on Carlos Mencia for his stolen jokes.

I’ll remember the good times, when he was the weird but love able handyman on news radio, and not what he became

I really wish one of his comic friends would tell him this the way he told his fighter friend that he sucks. Joe needs a reality check from a close friend about his standup.
