Joe Rogan (0:04)

The Joe Rogan Experience.

Radio Rahim (0:09)

Oh yeah, and last time, I guess I talk really loud, apparently.

Joe Rogan (0:16)

No, you don't. Oh, you read comments.

Radio Rahim (0:18)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (0:19)

Don't read comments.

Don't read comments. Don't read comments.

Radio Rahim (0:22)

He told me that last time, Joe.

Joe Rogan (0:23)

Never read comments.

Never read, I told Donnell, when Donnell and I did a podcast with the RZA, it was so much fun. After it was over, I gave him a big hug. I said, that was fun. Don't read the comments. And he went on, like for weeks, for weeks, he was on this defensive campaign.

Radio Rahim (0:42)

But Donnell, maybe he should read a few of the comments.

Joe Rogan (0:47)

I don't think so. I don't think so. I like him perfectly flawed. I like him as he is.

I don't want him to change at all. I mean, I'd like him to grow and get better as a human being, but that whole interrupting thing that he does, that's great, man. That's him.

Radio Rahim (1:06)

I'm a very sensitive guy, though. I need to know what I've said, how that affects people.

Joe Rogan (1:13)

You're in the wrong business.

If you're a sensitive guy, you're in the wrong business. Fuck, you gotta get out of those comments. Don't read them. If they said that you were too loud, that means one fucking person thought you were too loud, and they've put it out there. And then another person reads that and go, yeah, he's too loud.

Radio Rahim (1:28)

I'm like, am I too loud?

Joe Rogan (1:29)

No, you're not too loud. You're not too loud.

That's not real.

Radio Rahim (1:33)

Do you not go into your own comment section on Instagram? Like, never?

Joe Rogan (1:36)

Never, uh-uh, never.

Radio Rahim (1:38)

It is the Wild West in there. And every check mark, every legitimate celebrity, everybody's trying to beat each other, not just to be the first to comment on anything you post, but to have the smartest quip or the funniest one-liner. Well, that's good. It's a talent show.

Because you get a hundred followers from having one solid comment on a Rogan post.

Joe Rogan (2:04)

That's funny. The people actually do that. They try to get followers from...

Look, I probably would do that too if I didn't have a lot of followers.

Radio Rahim (2:11)

I'm not saying that because I'm above it. I'm in there too. That's a good one-liner for this.

Joe Rogan (2:17)

Well, it is kind of a thing on YouTube, right? Like when I read YouTube comments on other people, I do read them on other people's videos, but it is funny, like how people, they develop like a little community, they fuck with each other and go back and forth, and they, you know, and then you like, oh, this guy always has funny things to say, and you read his comment.

Radio Rahim (2:36)

And they dogpile on you.

Joe Rogan (2:37)

Oh, they dogpile. Yeah, they definitely dogpile. That's why it's, but it's like, that's the kind of people that are doing that. The kind of people that are leaving a lot of comments are the kind of people that complain a lot. Like, you don't want, you don't, and they're gonna be more prevalent, because there's more of them. So it's a biased sample group. It'll give you a distorted perception of what the actual show was like.

Radio Rahim (2:59)

People who want to be heard, who want to have their own say on things that really have nothing to do with them at all. It's just like their moment to grab a little spotlight.

Joe Rogan (3:08)

People like to talk. And also, you gotta always take any consideration. There's a lot of people out there that are doing this while they work, because they hate their job. Their job sucks. So they just complain about shit. Fuck this dude. And that's fun to say. Fun to say, fuck that guy.

He talks too much. He's too loud. He's not funny. He's that.

It's like, you can't, you need some feedback, but lucky as a comic, you get feedback from audiences. And I do audit myself. I do think about my own self. What I do, if it's too loud or too this or too dumb or not funny or whatever.

I'm my worst critic, so I don't need other critics.

Radio Rahim (3:48)

And you performing in front of an audience on a regular basis, you have real time reaction. A person doesn't have an opportunity to say he's not funny after he's finished laughing.
