Your books and content are true gifts. All the best to you and yours this holiday season.

It makes me feel better knowing I'm never going to listen to his sewage spewing podcast.

Good post. All true.

The first episode was the pair “sitting in front of laptops bullshitting,” Rogan said.

Glad to see he’s been consistent, at least.

Thanks for an entertaining year James!

You should have made your closing a “blanket GFYS and DELETE” to make it clear your day off will not be compromised by bullshit.

I don’t think you ruffled any feathers here. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas, absolutely free of drama.

Not among his subscribers like us, no. But he also posts the same article/blog on his Facebook page (which is public) and that's where all the crazies hop in. James does have some pretty good responses to shut them down, which can be pretty entertaining in itself!

Ah … I see. I quit Facebook in Oct 2019 because of the crazies were too much for me. I was busy recovering from cancer treatments. It’s definitely challenging to engage on that platform.

Yes, the bots and the crazies are still allowed to run rampant on Facebook (good on you to get out) and you can tell they actively seek out left or left-leaning pages to leave their little piles of dung before they run. I'm sure James reaches a lot of people there who enjoy his work and have yet to give Substack a try, but he has to deal with a LOT of crap. But, in true James Fell fashion, he not only has a snappy, often withering comeback or features their comments on his page for everyone to laugh at.

I used to occasionally enjoy Rogan's podcast but I haven't listened much since he changed the name to "BJ's for Billionaires"

I miss the days when I didn’t know who Joe Rogan was.

Me too I refer to him as "Rogaine".

Merry Christmas from the future (Australia 😉).

Thanks for the great insights and laughs this Christmas eve....we all could use lots of it. So glad I've never listened to the podcast.

He was a decent UFC commentator. He should have stuck with that.

I want to live in a world where I can say: "Joe who?"

Hannah's avatar

I'm happy to report that I have not ever listened to him. I should be available around, uh, never.

Merry Christmas! I can't stand Joe Rogan. It's really too bad he's so popular.

It certainly doesn't say much good about intelligence and discernment in the young men who listen to him. No wonder there are so many incels.
