Has Joe Rogan lost touch with his audience by featuring guests like Jordan Peterson?

With over 2000 episodes released, fans who’ve watched most of it have their idea of what an interesting JRE episode looks like. However, their reactions were a bit negative, to say the least, when Jordan Peterson returned for another conversation with Joe Rogan. As such, the podcaster was handed some rough words by the fans on social media.

It seems like the fans were initially excited about the #2081 JRE episode with Jordan Peterson as a guest because it has already garnered millions of views in a rather short period of time. Straight off the back, the conversation started with Joe Rogan and his guest discussing the latter’s suit. Peterson has sported many suits of unusual designs, pictures of which have been turned into memes on social media.

The conversation then shifted to a variety of topics like the use of psychedelic substances, and religion among many others. After hearing the conversation between Joe Rogan and Jordan Peterson, the fans did not seem too thrilled. Moreover, in a recent Reddit post, the fans did not just tear into the guest but also blasted the host for what seemed to have been a lackluster viewing experience.

There have been several instances when fans have retaliated to something Joe Rogan might have said on his show many times. But this time, their reactions indicated that watching the recent episode featuring Jordan Peterson just didn’t hit the mark.

Fans term Joe Rogan and Jordan Peterson’s JRE episode as uninteresting

If it’s not clear enough, some fans started calling the episode, “Garbage,” and, “another easy skip,” indicating that this episode wasn’t to their liking. They were seemingly expecting a bit more from Joe Rogan and Jordan Peterson. While watching the episode, some fans looked like they were hoping to see the psychologist-cum-author break into tears, jibing at the fact that he often does it. He said, “Is he crying yet?”

Joe Rogan has had some very interesting conversations, where he’s offered many interesting opinions. But this time, the fans believed that something was wrong with the former ‘Fear Factor’ host. A fan said, “You can tell Joe threw a fistful of alpha brain down the hatch before this one,” highlighting that fact. Then again, there was this jibe at Jordan Peterson regarding his suits and fans don’t seem to like that about him either. “The way this guy dresses is more harmful to children than drag story time,” a Reddit user commented.

The viewers also claimed to have observed a repetitive pattern that surrounds the ‘Joe Rogan Experience’. “Same ole sh*t and stories. I tried,” and, “I would rather cut my arm off than listen to this,” were cries from a couple of fans who want to see some new and fresh content from the world’s biggest podcast host. It will be interesting to see if Rogan becomes aware of these reactions from viewers of his podcast.

Jordan Peterson had appeared on Joe Rogan’s show twice before the recent one. They seem to have grown fond of each other as the longtime UFC commentator has been seen coming to his aid when people criticized Peterson for his crying spree. Hence, a third appearance from the psychologist-cum-author didn’t seem out of the question. But it failed to impress fans.

What do you think about the fans’ anger towards Rogan and Peterson? Is it justified? Let us know how you found the recent JRE episode in the comments down below.
