Yeah, and back then, he had hair and hadn't abused anabolic steroids so was like 40% of the size he is today.

Someone should do an expose on all these people and talk about who they were and what they did before going full MAGA.

He also was a moronic maintenance man for a radio station.
RIP Phil Hartman & Fuck Andy Dick
Then he lost all respect people had for him
People had respect for the Fear Factor guy?
He was kind of funny on the show News Radio before even that. That was a good show with a lot of good actors but seems like a lot of people never heard of it.

I liked him as a comedian early on. Was a huge early jre podcast fan. But he lost me circa 2015/16. He started believing he was actually smart. His stand-up has been awful for a long long time now. To say nothing of his political influence.

Trying to explain News Radio to a Zoomer and they just keep waving a can of pepper spray at me and calling for help.
Man I miss when Joe Rogan was just the hot dumb handyman. Simpler times.
He was all into the conspiracy theories though, even in news radio!!
Yup, and it was funny because his character was a moron that nobody took seriously.
That used to be more innocent before those people could find one another and begin to organize on the internet
Yeah and a lot of the conspiracy theories were about things like bigfoot and UFOs. Stuff we saw on X-Files so none of it was all that serious. "I want to believe" and "the truth is out there" turned into "everything is a lie!" and "I want to burn down the government!"
We'll always have Chris Hemsworth
“It’s a tv show about these people who make a podcast.”
He had people drink horse cum for a chance at some money.
Wait, you guys are getting paid?
Well, most of them didn't get paid either...
Imagine forcing yourself to swallow like half a litre of horse cum and then not winning the last challenge and leaving with nothing.
And then it gets broadcast on TV for everyone you know to see.
I was around for that era of Joe Rogan and he was an absolute dullard of a host.
Isn’t that a prerequisite for hosting these kind of shows?
Nobody wants to host those shows except for the easy pay check.
I'd toss my job and host a stupid show for that kind of money in a hot second, wouldn't you?
If this source is correct, he made about $100k per episode. For that amount of money, I would host the shit out of that dumbass show.

I actually liked the guy during that era. He was a goofy dude who just did weird stuff while giving our weird bro energy.
Yeah he seemed pretty harmless at the time.
Joe Rogan has a recorded, on stage set, where he straight up says something like:
"Do not take my advice on anything. You shouldn't listen to me. I'm an idiot! I don't know shit; I just make jokes for a living."
I guess people listened and then didn't follow the above advice. 🤷🏻♂️
That's how he lends credibility to everything that airs on his show. It is disarming enough to help the listener extend that sentiment toward the guest long enough to explain whatever lunatic theory.
And then you're listening to the guest, not Rogan so...
He's been doing the podcast since 2009.
Howie Mandel had hair at one time as well.
I liked that show.Yeah fear factor was a great place to watch pretty people do ugly things
