I'll watch this one I mean awkward moments on Joe Rogan are certainly a rare sighting, but they do still happen occasionally. So let's begin by looking at: The Joe Rogan Experience Number 958 When the conversation between Joe and Jordan Peterson became so deep that the two completely forgot what they were talking about in the first place, you can say well, yeah, I've got all these flaws, but look at what I'm trying to do, that's the real ground of self-respect Well I missed I'm off the track with the question ground of self-respect I can't remember what you asked me so we'll have to go to a different topic. What? How did we get on this? We were? Um, you asked about the evolutionary basis of that was a long time ago. I Know it's a rabbit hole that just doesn't disappear, but where were we just now? Um, remember where we were just now? No, sorry.

I'm distracted by something else that's happening I mean I think that was a big influx of like this, fired by Trump and now above it and uh, Twitter is a blaze. I'm sure this is a little off topic, but I mean uh, you want to talk about a figure? Oh I know we were talking about men. Yeah, we were talking about men and what motivates them. As you can see, the conversation did eventually get back on track and the podcast finish with no further hiccups.

However, this wasn't the only time on an episode where Joe didn't know what else to say. take for example: The Joe Rogan Experience Number 1726 with Chuck Palahnik which as a whole was an awesome podcast except a certain parts to the beginning. Now it seemed like the biggest problem was that the two were discussing a topic which didn't have much substance and as a result Joe would say things which received no response at all. There was a little three foot tall furry people they were living on an island in Flores it's wild.

While it felt as though the two were saying anything they could in order to keep the conversation going. Gates Foundation has been really active in that area I Heard yeah. um yeah. I thought you had topics that I could talk about.

Have you ever tried vaccines on them? they use them to experiment? Could be. However, the most awkward silence came at the end of this topic, when in a rare instance, it seemed as though Joe completely ran out of things to talk about. Whoa. That's where Cuckold comes from.

Yeah, huh. I Guess it makes sense I Guess that's a logical origin. Well I've never heard that before. It's kind of tragic.

It is tragic. Well, birds are tragic periods. Chad there's episode amount of time of the days, but is like supposed to run for like certain amount of hours or something like that or what. So a weird creature, you know they they get to fly.

No, they don't live very long. They get eaten by other birds perhaps. Joe and Chuck was simply being highly introspective during their conversation about birds. But what happens when a guest brings up a serious topic while Joe sits there laughing? This is what happened during The Joe Rogan Experience number 1532 with Mike Tyson which got a bit awkward after Joe interpreted one of Mike's serious videos as somewhat of a joke I did that video and I was in bed for a week.

There was 30 seconds and I was in bed for a week. And it's not funny because it made me realize that is right there. That wasn't really cool. after.

Mike ended this first interaction by stating that another period of awkward conflict occurred. What does it means? Um, when fighting gets gets you erect. What does that mean? It's a good question. It's orgasmic.

Sometimes yeah means you're getting excited. Yeah, but saying that it gets you orgasmic, That's a strange thing to say. Well, that's just what I wanted to find out because you're really bright and I thought you were thinking no, I'm being very serious. no I know I I know you're being serious.

but I mean why would you know? No one will understand that other than you. Which eventually resulted in even more uncomfortable silence. Alexander The Great was 32 and he conquered the known world. Yeah, in 10 years, huh? chat.

He was the king of the world. The whole world. That's insane. And so thinking about that as a as a Young Man Absolutely.

However, this wasn't the only time that inviting a fighter onto the podcast ended with an extremely awkward moment as during The Joe Rogan Experience number 607 the audience had to witness this. It was a really tough fight for me too, you know. I had a it was a really bad Camp It was probably the worst Camp of my career. My dad had passed away like three weeks before the fight and like two or three days after that.

Why does that look so shitty Jamie my cousin passed away. It was like pull it backs. Is it our computer that's doing that? Yeah, it's a YouTube video. Is it really that bad? What do we got to do to fix that? Focusing on a YouTube video is quality instead of the comments made by your guest about the passing of their father definitely makes for some uncomfortable viewing.

However, it's not like this was the only time where things got awkward because Joe wasn't paying attention if I get fired here. Whatever. I'll just go. Okay, chat guys, this isn't Joe being a bad person.

Okay guys. I'm not kidding I Know you guys may not understand, but if there's a prop, if you're the one who's always hosting something, there's no something that happens with production. or something happens with the hardware and you're and your books on it, You're thinking about it, then you want you want to be good at it, right? Whatever the guy's saying it, you're not hearing it. Okay, it's just very unfortunate that for the guy said was very deep and and you know languages right? well I'm sure Jordan had absolutely no they could have said it yo did I'm holding a gun and he would have said like wow this video is actually this is trash quality that's that's how it is.

You can say anything uh it's go do Joe Rogan next week and I'll be fine anyway I thought that was funny no what I was like oh I literally thought I literally thought that oh okay wow well it could have been funny yeah I was booked up though. no it's fine. it was just funny to truly because I remember somebody contacted me like to have you on 20 sounds like I don't have it anyway I could do like an emergency podcast but I'm like let this dude Ride This Out yeah and then we'll do one eventually. Truly glad that that did not happen because I would have come in emotional yeah I'd come in like God isn't fair and I never felt that way like the whole time I was like I kind of get it.

Accidentally inviting yourself onto the podcast is clearly a pretty good way to make Joe uncomfortable. but if you want to make things really weird then all you need to do is give Joe a couple of compliments as was shown in The Joe Rogan Experience Number One Five One Eight episode. Now, don't get me wrong, this episode is a contender for the best Joe Rogan Podcast ever created. and part of the reason for this was that Dave kept giving Joe these uncomfortably wholesome compliments.

What is your uh threshold with receiving compliments? My threshold? yeah, what's your comfort level I haven't seen you in a long time. Oh yeah, it's been a while I don't know. Can I give you can I give you okay five? Sure. Okay, um you only look better as you get older.

Oh, you have a beautifully shaped skull. like as an artist as a sculptor like I painted you? yeah I don't like the painting anymore I think I can do a better one now, but it's awesome. It's an awesome painting. All artists and sculptors out there listening paint this guy's skull.

It's beautiful. Um, you're unbelievably, uh, curious. inspirational. You give me hope.

You're funny, you're entertaining, and you're a leader. You're a perfectly imperfect, unrepeutable Miracle of the universe. Wow, that's heavy. You're great man.

Well, that's very sweet of you. I appreciate you. Yeah, thank you very much man. it's very nice of you.

Before Joe would put the awkwardness back on Dave in a fairly Wholesome Way Some people can't be themselves. they're not good at it. you're really good at being. David Cho Aha thank you.

You're real chat chat. Is this the sort of all I tell you this all the time yo this is still my flow word for war. buffer bar I'm I'm horrible at taking Compliments by the way so thank you. It's uncomfortable for everybody I think unless you're a real creep, you did a great right now.

Could I could have done more could have given you like. However, this wasn't the only time on The Joe Rogan Experience where too much praise put an instant stop to the conversation. Congrats by the way on Spotify thank you I know crazy so well deserved man thank you God damn it. whatever.

So I didn't want to forget I didn't want to forget Yeah dude. I've been Ultra paying attention. Then there was The Joe Rogan Experience Number one, five, seven, two which became awkward after Joe accidentally gave himself a few too many compliments. How are you so good at rock paper scissors? It's just you know, skill, muscle, intuition, intuition.

Can we play right now? You wanna play? Yes, but I only play for Stakes Okay, what do you want to play for if I Win I Do the programming on your show for a week? No, that's worth a lot of money. What kind of money? What do you think? That's what I'm saying. Like the ads or whatever it's gonna be like programming like who's going to be on? who's going to be on? That's not possible. We're booked up months and months in advance.

That's ridiculous to flip a coin on that. There's There's no chance. Do you think that there's something of equivalent value? No. On the show, what are you gonna give me? You'd have to give me what a spectacular amount of money.

How about five bucks? No, no, it's Gotta Be Come on man. 20 bucks I Got 20 bucks? Okay, whatever. money's off the table. Get that? All right? Sounds like someone's scared to lose.

It Rock Paper Scissors It sounds like someone else is scared to lose him. No, you're asking me for something That's ridiculous. You don't have anything. You don't have anything that's worth a week of programs.

No, it doesn't. It literally doesn't exist. 50 50. Like, there's not like you don't.

There's nothing that you can have that you can offer me that I couldn't buy myself I'll make I'll I'll be interesting. No, no talking with you. You can't No, All right. Fine, all right, but that doesn't do anything for me.

However, if you really want to make the podcast awkward, then you're gonna have to touch on politics. Which is what happened during The Joe Rogan Experience Number One, eight, eight, Two is that when a fairly innocent comment about a political candidate escalated into a very unpleasant exchange, we look for someone who makes us feel good and they just decide this is how I'm voting. You know, like that's I mean that was a lot of people's perspectives on Hillary Clinton I talked about I'm pretty sure everyone loved her. Yeah, the most loved I I was I I liked Elizabeth Warren Yeah, but but okay, who isn't? Yeah Bernie Sanders Okay, but did you vote for Bernie he wasn't available right? It looks like the lady like that would like pinch you.

Yeah, no, uh, yeah, you wanna. Flex Joe and Eliza were able to hash out their disagreement in a relatively mature way. However, what happens when Joe accidentally touches on a topic that the guest specifically asked him not to talk about? This is what happened during The Joe Rogan Experience Number One: Oh no. 45 with Paul Stamets, which hit a bit of a bump after Joe Asked about the negative side effects of mushrooms.

what are the negative benefits or the negative effects of this two years? Let's go. This is an explosive uh uh, area of conversation and that puts my life in danger. So I I reserve the right not to answer your question. Whoa.

I didn't expect that. It puts your life individual. He's looking at me silently I will respectfully move on. Thank you.

Um, so anybody who's interested just wait. What the okay, Okay, that was something. I am enjoying my stay. Why with Paul Stamets which hit a bit of a bump after Joe asked about it mushrooms.

What are the negative benefits or the negative effects of this? This is an explosive, uh, area of conversation and that puts my life in danger. So I I reserve the right not to answer a question. Whoa. I Didn't expect that.
