10 Things We Learned From Eric Weinstein On The Joe Rogan Experience

10. Joe Has Become A Little Out Of Touch With Regular People

As someone who has spent the majority of his entire life as a figure in the public eye, its not exactly surprising that Rogan has become used to the life of a famous comedian.

Not that there's anything necessarily wrong with this, but when a large portion of Joe's audience are people who have to work jobs they might not like for the purpose of feeding their families, occasionally some of Rogan's comments can come across as out of touch, at best.

During the early going of the episode, Eric remarks that there is no group in society that is quite as dysfunctional as comedians prompting Joe to reply:

"I know, that's why I get along with them so well. It's so hard for me to hang out with regular folk. That would be rough, like if I had to live in a community of regular people that just work every day..."

While it is understandable that Joe's many years in the spotlight would make having a regular life seem abnormal to him, for someone who sustains himself on his speaking you'd think he could've employed a better choice of words here to not distance himself from his fanbase.
