Let's see if he's a smoker. Coincidentally.

[Junkenstein]

what if he is? do you know him? does he smoke in your house?

i am sober, but i am nbot telling you not to drink, cause i honestly dont care about what you do with your own life.

I'm not saying he should stop. I'm just judging him.

Junk I've gotta say after listening to a handful of Rogan's shows I'm not really hearing the subtle speratic masochism that you're describing, though I can see how he would have a massive core group of fans that are roid raging thugs and can't accept criticism.

The episode he did with Dave Attell and another on the occupy wallstreet thing was particularly interesting and he seems like tries to be mellow and understanding of most people, I think they're episodes 155 and 147 respectively.

Could you have a listen and tell me what you think?

and no I'm not drinking the kool-aid I'd just like have an opinion of Joe Rogan one way or the other.

[Junkenstein]

i dunno. i picked that podcast up in many occasion and everytime he dropped one of those hateful gems. other times, hes high enough to pass as a mellowe open minded intellectual.

mine is mostly a gut feeling, i guess. i used to be a fan of his comedy until i noticed that his staments on women and gays were a little more than jokes. then i heard the podcast and that was confirmed in many occasions.

Also, stop smoking weed.

I quit smoking over 2 months ago for work. In all the years of smoking, I've never really noticed any serious memory problems. Recently though, I have a seriously hard time putting thoughts together.
Any good suggestions beyond 'no weed?' Seriously. I'm taking B vitamins, and not drinking alcohol....as much. Help!

Agreed! ON both counts. Haha. I was never a heavy smoker. I have many friends who are the 'burnt' types - constantly in a haze. They're mostly growers who will never change and are comfortable w/ continously forgetting where the keys are, excessive and exclusive reggae shows, etc.
Ignorance is bliss' It sucks when you are just smart enough to realize your stupid, (like myself) - I've been trying to write more and it's not going as well as before. I hate the thought of having to be 'altered' to be creative, but maybe it's true?
Anybody ever have depression affect their memory??

Agreed...to an extent. I don't want to be politically correct, but I also cringe when JOe's constantly calling random men 'fags' for being anything other than himself.
It helps if you see the guest is from the new episode is MMA...then just skip it.
Ultimately, I give Joe some slack because I see him as a jock who's aware and evolving. He seems to have heart.
Junk, do you listen to 'The Long Shot podcast? It's an impressive show.

Man, did you notice how badly Dave Attell wanted to gig w/ Joe Rogan? It was kinda sad at the end of show.
You got the impression that Dave is not getting the amount of fans he deserves. I loved his "Captain Miserable.' Hopefully his new showtime show helps his career.

Meh, keys are just a matter of habit. Same for any other routine stuff.

Factual memory is pretty unnecessary these days imo. I couldn't list all the USA#1 states (though I know what is and isn't a state), european countries, I don't know the capitals of anything, and if you gave me a list of US Presidents, I wouldn't know half of them. But I have a 3G phone on me at all times and know how to look up anything I need.

Same for important dates. Google Calendar connected to my phone. For any appointment, I usually set myself 2-5 reminders depending on importance: Email notification a week before, Email 2 days before, SMS the night before, SMS the morning of, SMS at a minimal time it'd take me to get ready in case I still forgot about it. I've never been late for anything important with this system and it doesn't require me to remember anything.
