Quick Rogan Review Host
Welcome to quick Rogan Review of the Week. Before we get into this week's rundown, more and more of you have been reaching out, emailing, messaging me about focusing on elements of the episodes where a mindset of value or a lesson can be drawn from it. Now it's not always the case, but a lot of times with Rogan interviews and episodes you can draw something pretty useful out of it that you can apply to your life. And again, with the amount of people that listen and reach out to me, people are often trying to find ways to improve their lives and, you know, level up or fix a habit. So I'll continue to kind of focus some elements of the reviews where I can on those things. Also coming up, we're doing something quite interesting. We're doing a series of previous Rogan guests on the show. We've got hopefully we're getting lined up Dan Doty, who was a three time Rogan guest on his show. He is actually the individual that first took Rogan hunting and he was a producer on the show, meat Eater and is somebody that I know and he's gonna come on and talk about his time going on the show and taking Rogan hunting. Also we're trying to get a hold of J. Justin Ran. Justin is someone that I know too and get him on the show, kind of talk about his experience on there. A few other previous guests. I think that's going to be an interesting series and these are all inspiring guys. So again I think that will be a pretty interesting angle to take. Looking back this previous week we had four episodes starting off with MMA176 Dustin Poirier Dustin came on in full post career reflection mode. This felt like a transition episode, I'd say. Not just an MMA one. Former UFC interim lightweight champ, retired fighter, now talking as a guy who, looking back, what the sport took out of him and what might still be ahead, it's kind of interesting to think that Justin is like, you know, done or mostly done with his career. I mean I've seen him fighting for so long, it's just so strange. The main topics are really retirement and identity after fighting, weight cutting, fighter pay recovery, injuries, boxing interests and what elite competition does to your mind and your body over time. Public reaction around the episode especially centered on his comments about Islam, its size and realities of rehydration. This is really about purpose after the main thing is all over, a man can spend decades becoming dangerous, disciplined and elite, then suddenly has to figure out who he is when the arena goes quiet and moving on. It's something that many fighters have to face and many athletes in general. MMA fans seemed really quite interested in this, but some also felt the early part of the show retread familiar Rogan MMA territory. A lot of similar stories before kind of getting into some stronger conversations. Overall though online it scored pretty high, 8.1 out of 10. So again, if you're a fan of Justin, definitely worth listening to. Up Next Episode 2469 Brigham Bruler from Ways to well Always cool to have this guy on. He always has interesting information. This is a classic Rogan health system frustration episode. Brigham founder of Ways to well and owner of Revive RX Pharmacy. He came on to talk about regenerative medicine, peptides, pharmacy access and how broken the current medical system is, peptide regulation, whether peptides are being unfairly classified and restricted, pharmaceutical lobbying, stem cells, functional medicine, blood work, hormones and alternatives to mainstream care. Episode summaries circulating online focused heavily on the peptide regulation fight and the claim that the regulatory environment does not match the safety record advocates point to. I think a lot of people were pretty interested with the peptide talk portion of this. That's a lot of the feedback I was getting. This one is catnip for the Rogan audience because it lands right in the sweet spot of health freedom, anti bureaucracy and the system is not built to make you well type of discussion. Whether people agree with every claim or not, it presses on a very Rogan core nerve. You know, it's more niche than broad. This was a big episode for health optimization crowd and really less for like the casual listeners. Again, solid rating though, 7.8 out of 10. Up next, Pierre P. I don't know how you say his last name actually, but yeah, that Canadian politician guy that honestly they should have had on when he ran before. I don't know why they didn't. I guess he said because he doesn't leave Canada, but he should have come on Big political swing for the week. Pierre, leader of Canadians Conservative Party and leader of the official opposition. He came on for a long form conversation about Canada, government spending, trade, sovereignty and the state of Western politics and he came on strong. He brought a bunch of gifts. He was really kissing Rogan's ass early on, but he did have some cool gifts. They talked government reform, spending, restraint, bureaucracy, trade, assisted dying, Canada's U.S. relations tariffs, and Trump's remarks about Canada becoming the 51st state, which was quite funny. Coverage after the episode focused especially on Pierre's rejection that the 51st state idea and using the platform to push Canadian sovereignty and his broader political case. This is Rogan doing what legacy media often won't giving a politician enough time to actually lay out a worldview. Which is really why so many of us like listening to Rogan show. Whether you like Pierre or not, the format helps a listener feel the person, not just the headline. The online vibe. High engagement, especially from Canadians. More politically charged than other episodes of the week obviously, and probably the one that created the most outside of commentary. Overall, strong episode, 8 out of 10 and it makes a lot of sense. Lastly, Mark Norman, a staple of the show. Mark's hilarious this one was pure fun. Episode of the week. Mark came on as a returning guest while promoting his Netflix special. None too pleased. Obviously we know him as a stand up, an actor and the co host of Tuesdays with Stories and we might be drunk. It was comedy, podcast, social media, how the business has changed, censorship, ish pressures, weird culture stuff, religion, books and the usual Norman mix of sharp one liners and a little bit of chaos. Secondary coverage framed the episode around comedy's relationship to tech and shifting norms, while discussion around his special was already active that same week. Mark is one of those guests who makes the show feel loose again. You know, he's just that silly guy. He brings speed jokes and the kind of comic pressure that either wakes Rogan up or leaves Rogan trying to keep up. You know, Rogan was on form though. The online vibe mixed in an interesting way. Plenty of fans liked it, but some on Reddit their reaction was that Mark was firing jokes faster than Rogan could catch them. Reddit loves to say that about Joe though. Like he misses all the jokes. I don't know if that's true. Episode Rating 8.5 out of 10 that one scored pretty high. Overall, most talked about episode of the week was Pierre probably had the biggest external political ripple effect, but Marks was also talked about a lot. Probably the most shareable and most likely to get clip for entertainment. And that's an inference based on the amount of type of reaction that I found pretty much overall for the week, strong week 8.1 out of 10. So it was a good listening week. Me personally, I like Pierre's episode just because I didn't know that guy and it was cool to kind of get to know him. But overall a good Rogan week is usually some mix of fight world, anti system talk, politics and comedy, which this one had it all and that's basically what this was. But the bigger takeaway is that every one of these episodes in a different way was about what happens when you stop letting the outside world tell you who you are. That's the quick review. Look out for longer review episodes coming up this week. Take care.
