    Man, 2013 Rogan was just him talking to other out of work comedians about Fear Factor. Not sure I miss it? Definitely would prefer it.

      In the past, Rogan had some pretty good guests on. So there was a lot of it being “smart guy explaining things to a dumb guy”, and him just being all “wow” at whatever was being said was fine.

      But at a certain point he started thinking that he wasn’t a dumb guy and began talking about what he thought about things and having on guests that thought the same way as him. So now it’s just the “dumb guys talking dumb guy shit” show.

      As awful as I found fear factor itself (I’m very afraid of heights and squeamish), I’d still prefer it.

        It wasn’t the heights I had a problem with watching. It was the eating. My stomach got unhappy just watching.

          Yeah, I don’t love the idea of being covered in bugs or snakes or something, but it’s definitely worth a huge sum of money. I know eating live scorpions (or similar) isn’t worth it for me, and I’m pretty sure I’d literally have a heart attack if I had to do a heights challenge, so they’re definitely not paying enough.

              Also, you could argue it’s unethical spider abuse, which is the point that I’d be more concerned of even though I don’t want one in my mouth. For $100,000, I’d do almost anything that didn’t hurt a creature or a human, even if it hurt myself as long as it wasn’t a permanent, you know, lasting thing. Anyway, yeah, for $100 an hour, I’d totally take it up the ass because I’ve taken it up the ass metaphorically for a lot less. But I don’t know, my price for putting a spider in my mouth is probably a little bit on the higher side.

              Also, Joe Rogan has become a fool. I mean, I guess he was always a fool, but at least a fool that had a little bit of humility. And as others have pointed out, he had genuinely great guests on a lot. And he wouldn’t just say the dumbest thing and run with it and not let them say something smart. But now he doesn’t even have those people on. So he’s just getting the dumbest takes usually. Sometimes his friends even have to point it out to him.
