10 Things That Happen In Every Joe Rogan Experience Episode
"Pull that sh*t up Jamie!"
Ever since its inception more than a decade ago, the Joe Rogan Experience has provided fans with the insights of a host of guests from across the entire spectrum of public life, from professional cage fighters to stand-up comedians, to astrophysicists.
Unlike many podcasts that attempt to hyper-specialise, Rogan draws on his contacts from the various worlds he is a part of to feature a massively diverse group of guests on the show.
This is one of the main reasons the JRE has proved so popular since its first episode in 2009: fans are treated to a broad range of perspectives in a format that is long enough to really get to understand the guest being featured and, often, the ideas they are attempting to convey, throughout the course of the show.
However, while the guests sitting on the other side of the table are always rotating, the one constant throughout over 1000 often three-hour-long podcats has been Joe himself.
Not that this is a bad thing, Joe's open-mindedness and willingness to discuss just about everything has made him the perfect host of a show containing long-form, wide-ranging discussions.
But, as longtime fans will have noticed, when you put out such a massive amount of content, there's bound to be a degree of repetition across the JRE catalogue.
So get your bingo cards at the ready because here are some of the hallmarks of one of the world's most popular podcasts.
10. Re-Telling The Tragic Tale Of Fritz Haber
Okay, so the frequency of this one has actually decreased considerably since its peak, but discussions of the tragic tale of the life of German Nobel Prize-winning chemist Fritz Haber were once almost unavoidable on the JRE, and as such, deserve an entry on this list.
Just for some background, let's quickly run through the story of Haber. Haber was a scientist who alongside fellow Nobel Prize winner Carl Bosch, created the Haber-Bosch process. During the First World War, Haber was influential in developing chlorine gases that would be used against troops at the front, and has since been recognised as the father of chemical warfare.
So, what does a German chemist who died 30 years before Joe was born even have to do with the JRE, I hear you ask?
Well, for a while, discussing Haber's involvement in the production of the insecticides Zyklon A, and Zyklon B, was one of Joe's favourite topics of discussion. This resulted in a hilarious supercut of Joe and Bryan Callen going back and forth telling each other the exact same story over the course of five different episodes.
