To be fair, he podcasts 2-5 times a week. I think he’s closing in on 2,000 episodes.
I used to listen to the JRE - around 2009-2015 most of his guests were other comedians, and maybe 1 out every 20-40 episodes he released would sound interesting to me.
There was a shift at some point - I feel like it was around 2014-2016 - when he started having less comedians on, and more bow hunters and questionable nutritionists. Then came politicians, and it became what it is now.
I can say I don’t remember ever hearing him say the n-word.
That’s why I was surprised when he emerged as like the e new Howard Stern, because his podcast was basically that show with Colin Quinn that used to be on Comedy Central, a bunch of standups making jokes about current events.I’ve been a fan of dude since NewsRadio.
I’m just assuming social media broke his brain like every other person with even a smidgen of fame. You say some dumb ■■■■■ you get roasted on social media, the worst people in the world come to defend you and then you start seeing the worst people in the world as your allies and bam, pilled.
I saw Ken Ober screaming at the network over the phone because the on site Standards and Practices guy nixed a bit where Keith Robinson says the N word. Ober was saying that the show aired after Chappelle Show.
A few weeks later they did a bit where Robinson got his official license to be able to use the N word whenever he wanted. But this was of course after Paul Mooney had been on the show.
