This is the first time I’ve listened to Ari and not hated him. Tucker was great.

[@JustJacob-kt]

Ari has always been good, it’s what Joe sees. It’s the self-destructive side of him that turns everyone off.

[@NoFace-ke9pc]

Lol, I have a love-hate relationship with Ari. I love the dude, but he's so goofy at times, then he talks, and I like him again.

[@marcusaurelius652]

He’s insufferable

[@christopherhernandez3909]

He’s really not that different than Tim Dillon they both play the good cop/bad cop in their commentary. Not always but sometimes their rants are hilarious 😂

[@buttface9434]

ari is a total hack. some kind of nepotism is the only reason hes famous.

Man I’m so glad Tucker went independent. He is diversifying his reach. And it is just awesome. Thank you Tucker for this.

@@rumchata6569 Not true at all, but you're entitled to your own opinion. I've never laughed harder in my life than live comedy and haven't had a drink in many many years. Something about being there in person just amplifies the whole thing. Sounds like you just have poor taste in comedians!

He forgot to mention Shane Gillis and Mark Normand. Those are facts tho. While not being a great comedian, Rogan has 100000% reignited the stand-up scene. Not just because he has up and comers on his show, but because he speaks about comedy with such passion and respect that it is infectious. He really treats it like a fine art.

[@Boags]

He is. I'm not quite partial to his style, but he can really work with anyone on the podcast

His best “interviews” are the ones where he talks less and lets the interesting person talk.

Not good enough to tell Ari to burn that hat.

Joe has made his fortune, he can do Whatever He Wants.

[@puccan479]

He has always done and said whatever he wants. That’s how he built a cult fan base. He was never PC. He never catered toward the masses. That’s why his conversations are always so authentic and genuine. Watch his old videos when he was in his bedroom with podcast equipment, even back then he did not give a fuck.

[@LaRoyDen]

These Rogan stories remind me of Julius Caesar as he was coming up. Going into significant debt to make people happy and love him and it paid off a million times over again. I’m not at all saying they had the same motives or that Rogan was in debt. It is just crazy that in both cases doing things for others was remembered and rewarded from clients as favors or just by the universe blessing you. I love Rogan’s podcast and hope I can visit his comedy club. Very cool stories here.

[@jaysonb.6669]

Did it really pay off for Caesar in the end tho? "Hey Jamie, why don't you pull up that clip of you putting that dagger in my side?" 😂

We are in a comedy renaissance, it's really amazing to witness if you're a comedy fan. We depressed peasants indulge in it like therapy.

Joe Rogan honestly isn’t a good comedian. That being said, what he has accomplished with his podcast is extraordinary and his commentary when it comes to martial arts is top notch.

[@djjazzyjeff1232]

I agree actually. He UNDERSTANDS comedy really well, he's just not that great on it. But where he is great is in his podcast. I feel the same way about Joey Diaz actually, on stage he sucks, I'm just being honest, but in conversation he SLAYS.

[@muddywood]

He’s a funny guy. Like in conversations and off the cuff he’s damn funny. But I’m not a fan of his stand up.

[@Whyusadd]

Mmm… I’m a fan of his comedy… ultimately he isn’t releasing clips like all the new comics hence why people may not be familiar with how funny he is, and he doesn’t flood the market with special after special but when he does I think they’re good. The attraction to his podcast in the beginning was the looseness and the humour these days it’s become more polished… still great but very different… more of a media figure now

[@johnjohnson9431]

He’s not a bad standup at all.

[@ivanwesley8182]

Agreed. He’s not terrible, he has his moments, but far from being an elite comedian

Tucker is great at what he does. I like him. What bothers me are people who glaze all over him like he's some kind of a second cumming. His txts revealed in Fox lawsuit discovery really showed his 'twofacedness'. People just love to idolize celebrities and forget their missteps... He has an agenda and he went all 'Im now independent new media, establishment media sucks' etc. I love his content, but I come at it with critical approach and with awareness regarding his past.

No offense. This dude seems chill. But I honestly have no foookn clue who he is. And no intention of looking him up either.

[@THEpopelonergan]

I’d argue that Rogan is going through the ‘inconvenient elder / elder statesman’ stage. But these guys are old enough to still see it as cutting edge. It WAS cutting edge (in, like, a casual, understated way) but that peak has been and gone. Now it’s just a dusty institution. That’s how quickly things go through the cycle of thrive and decline now.
