MadMardigain 1,356 Report post Posted January 9 (edited) Though I’m a long term MMA fan I’ve never really got into the Rogan podcast. That being said Rogan’s often in the running for the overall top podcast in listener numbers from month to month, so great exposure for JB and wrestling.

The only people who cared when JB won Olympic gold are wrestling fans. The JRE is literally the most popular podcast in the world. Millions of people have now been introduced to JB and wrestling that otherwise would not have.

Drake_Mallard 191 Report post Posted January 9 JB did great. Represented himself very well. Thank god he is the accepted voice of our olympic sport in a lot of ways.... If that were Dake, the entire podcast would have devolved into conspiracy theories, and if you are a frequent Rogan listener, you known exactly what Im talking about. Thankfully JB is interesting enough not to let that happen. 7 1 balanceseeker, Katie, IfYouAin'tFirstYou'reLast and 5 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JasonBryant 1,711 Report post Posted January 10 He’s not wrong. There probably isn’t much crossover on a venn diagram between Rogan listeners and GMA watchers - I think it’s fair to say this did expose Burroughs to a group of people who may not have known anything about him or heard of him. He won Olympic gold nine years ago and those spots aren’t fresh in the minds of too many. I’m about halfway through the episode and I’m grateful he’s such a great ambassador for the sport. 3 RealAmericanHero, Lipdrag and BigTenFanboy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good morning America, etc. I would say NBC and Good Morning America have a smaller reach/impact on pop culture than JRE. NBC and GMA didnt have a sitdown 1 on 1, 3 hour conversation analyzing the life of a wrestler and was like a quick shoutout/props. The podcast brought more attention to wrestling than anything else.

jchapman 1,148 Report post Posted January 12 The Joe Rogan podcast describes JB as a four-time Olympic Gold medalist. Is it common that he over-inflates the credentials of his guests? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boompa 179 Report post Posted January 12 JRE is probably the most listened to or watched anything out there. On a daily basis. ESPN should hire Rogan to work NCAA's. I am not an MMA fan either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JasonBryant 1,711 Report post Posted January 12 It isn’t a Rogan specific issue. I’m not a fan of his podcast (partially Bc most of it discusses false information), but they didn’t inflate the credentials deliberately. He’s got nearly 1600 episodes, saying “most of it discusses false information” isn’t accurate. I pick and choose my episodes based on the guests, but he’s had a large net of guests and some are wildly whacked out of their minds, while others are highly intelligent and educated. He’s not for everyone, but a handful of polarizing guests doesn’t make “most” of his 1,591 episodes centered around discussing false information. 1 IfYouAin'tFirstYou'reLast reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't even listen to Rogan's podcast, but I would not be willing to accept your premise as accurate without specifics. For someone like me who is unwilling to accept your premise just because you say it is so (As you know, I am skeptical of many claims people make), you should easily be able to point to 3 of his podcasts and cite the time of and nature of the false information. Btw, I presume you to mean he "promotes" false information even though you wrote he "discusses" false information. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LordNelson 542 Report post Posted January 18 Agree TBar. It is very difficult these days to discern false information as it is coming out of all facets of society's delivery. Scary times. Common tactic of the self righteous these days to call out someone's sources without providing any of their own. It's media sources trying to steal clicks and viewers. Regardless, JB did well on the podcast because he is a great dude. 1 TBar1977 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is he endorsing these people, and what are the specific views he endorses? I have heard of Alex Jones but don't know a thing about him. Never even heard of the other guy. Don't what about them Rogan agrees or does not agree with, but I support his first amendment rights to HIS POV, whatever that is. There are people these days that wish to literally remove any and all conservative points of view from society. That isn't going to work out for either side, its just going to lead to ruin. It is the opposite of first amendment rights, its totalitarianism and I would fear that outcome worse than 99% of what they are trying to stamp out. I consider your response to be incomplete.
