So instead of investing your time in a passion, youโve sold your life to work for an uncaring machine that doesnโt understand you. Thatโs the problem with our society. And whatโs the reward? Go home and get a big TV.
Joe RoganI don't really like actors. Actors are like terrible comedians with no punch lines. It's all about them. They talk about themselves all the time. They bore the sh - t out of you.

Joe RoganComedy is a funny thing, and it's really not like any other art form in that it's very specialized and varied in it's content, but generic in it's title. You would never go to a club just to see "Live music," you would go to a jazz club to see jazz, a blues club to see blues, etc. But when you go to see "standup comedy," if you don't know the performers material, you really don't have any idea what you're gonna get.
