OMG everyone,
it’s finally time :D!
You have no idea how hard it was for me to keep this a secret and not tell you anything, not even a hint, but I made it and now I feel SOOO relieved that I can actually say it.
I WAS ON JOE ROGAN!!!
Many of you have probably heard about him, but for those who haven’t he – Joe Rogan is one of the biggest, if not the biggest, podcasts out there.
And what few people know is that Joe Rogan actually speaks very good German, and one of the sources he used was… my blog!!
So a few months back his team reached out to me and asked if I was interested in coming on and I said yes.
In the three hours podcast we talked about life, global politics, German food and of course Joe’s struggles with the German cases.
And there’s a segment in there, where we talk German for five minutes.
So, without any further ado, let’s jump right in.
(player loads from Spotify, no account needed)
Let me know in the comments how you liked it and also what you think of Joe Rogans German :).
Have a great day and see you next time.
Is that
..Rocko Schamoni?
Hahahaha, no that’s me!
ha ha ha ho ho ho ah
Dank sei Gott! Joe Rogan ewww. Bitte, sagst du uns dass du nicht ihn gern haben.
Ich höre ihn nicht oft, aber ich habe kein Problem mit ihm. Er hat differenzierte Ansichten, und mit manchen Sachen stimme ich überein, mit anderen überhaupt nicht.
Sein Stand-Up Comedy finde ich allerdings ziemlich kacke.
I wasn’t remotely tricked into thinking this happened, given the date and the general implausibility of it… BUT: Have to say I love that you used a picture of Jordan Peterson for your photo-edit. He is such a pompous Arschloch and I found this usage of his image very funny.
Omg I’m so dumb…of course this is the Dr. Peterson Torso …
We could also say… it’s Jordan Per-torso-n
Yes, that; now to find a trusted word tie-in for the hostile manic alien fingers…standard Peterson form…
12 rules for life… part two!
Yes. You may find them beginning to flap and flail quite vigorously on their own when people point out that you don’t understand Marx and have perhaps never even read anything from him despite your long fondness for speaking against his theories. However, press on. There is a way out for you…
Hahahah, wow, great eye :). His was one of the first that came up when I looked for thumbs and the head posture seemed fitting with my photo.
I recently saw snippets from a podcast (not Rogan) with Peterson and the man is absolutely not well. Like… he’s really hurting. He was on the verge of crying a lot.
Yes, I think the all-beef diet that his daughter shills to people over YouTube didn’t help him; then the benzo addiction; then rehabilitation in some obscure Russian facility. I don’t wish ill on any ma— Actually, scratch that, I do wish ill on some people. Specifically JBP. So his decline is pretty entertaining, especially in the context of his professed ideological commitment to “cleaning up your own room before trying to change the world”.
Wow, you’re absolutely not a fan :D.
My impression lately is that there are some repression issues inside this man.
Some sexual repression issues, to be precise.
I just don’t understand where else such a torment would be coming from in a person that has things figured out enough to write a book about it.
I don’t think he ever talks about that topic, and he rationalizes the shit out of marriage, so yeah… I think there’s some source of pain there.
I did not know his daughter was on the paleo/keto train. I’ll have to look that up. Curious if she has the same way of talking.
And yeah… that stint in Russia doesn’t seem to have done much. He seems more broken than ever now. I pity the man. I honestly think he does not enjoy any of his success.
I belived it for a second :) you got me !
Hi Emmanuel could you please make an article on je-words like jeweil ?
Good idea, I’ll brain storm about it.
Omg I thought this was real!!!!
I thought this was real. Damn you, April Fools.
You actually had me, goddamn it.
Nu credeam că Joe Rogan este genul meu de om, dar a fost o discuție interesantă și a avut un sfat bun despre cum să ne amintim genul substantivelor. Doar pentru a arăta că este bine să ai o minte deschisă. A, și cred că toată lumea ar trebui să facă podcast-uri cu papion de acum înainte :)
(Thanks, marko, for the inspiration :))
Very funny. As good as plastic ants in the bed. (Maybe better?)
Wow I just can’t believe it . I just got a one year subscription to this amazing website for free thanks to the donation that other people made to the fund program so people like me who can’t or unable to pay to use this website be able to use it for free. And thanks to Emanuel for his kindness and his patience. Love you all tnx
Ovo nije bilo baš fer, poslati po noći, tako sa se mi sjeveroamerikanci još onako pospani, tek provirivši na naše mobiće, uzalud nadamo! Da sam malo budniji bio, ne bi me zavaralo.
Für einen Kommentar zu einem solch gemeinen Aprilscherz ist jede Sprache geeignet.
I’m fluent in Kroatian, so no problem for me :).
I’m happy to heard that you enjoyed the podcast!! And yes, I was surprised about what Joe said about German cases.
He speaks no German, but is certainly a proud member of the NSDAP (i’ll let myself out)..
Imagining Rogan as a Nazi surely makes middlebrow, mainstream media feel good.
If anything, Rogan leans left. Where Rogan departs from the Left you know, is he values the individual above the collective, will respectfully hear out conservative guests and will agree with them on individual political rights. Rogan would not invite Rightist screamers like Jesse Waters or Tucker Carlson, who would make audible conversation impossible. Rogan is enthusiastic about social welfare programs. He is okay with the armed services too but supported none of their last four wars or the huge defence budgets they needed.
You should like CNN’s middlebrow intellectual lights, eg., Mark Stelter, Don Lemon, Anderson Cooper, and prize thinker Jim Acosta.
Haha, I did not fall for that because I’m pretty sure Joe doesn’t speak German.
Also, sending my love to the German learning community. I just got a subscription thanks to the generosity of this community. I’ve been learning German on my own for almost a year and this will help me massively.
Thank you, Emmanuel and the team for putting out such useful content. You are a gift to the language learning community.
