I felt so bad for his parents in the 90's, and couldn't believe Tom had permission to film them for his little public access TV show in Ottawa. Eventually they just seemed resigned to the fact that they had raised a lunatic. One of the more priceless moments started with his dad looking up from his keys one morning only to find lesbians artfully and professionally spray painted on the hood of his car. Normally that would earn a substantial reaction, but briefcase in hand like a scene from My Three Sons, he just turned around calmly and walked right back into the house.
I was a caller once on web-o-vision with Tom and Harland Williams. It was incredible. I used to love just the test broadcasts where things broke. And it was just Tom being himself.
Ah the days of Realaudio, Realvideo which eventually turned into the malware abomination known as Realplayer, streaming blurry chunk video over 28.8k dialup. South Park, due to the crudeness of their art style, actually put up flash animated clips from their show that was nearly TV quality
Definitely would be amazing to see a really good documentary on the creation of the podcast, I can think of one or two other guys in the early days that could feature in the documentary! I remember listening to Ricky Gervais, Stephen merchant and Karl pilkington around 2005ish. There was literally a handful of people trying it out then, much like Rogan and tom green it was comedy based and they didn't take themselves too seriously. Probably why so many could relate to these early guys authenticity
I used to watch Webovision live all the time. It really was like nothing else i had ever seen. I called in to the show on skype a few times, got to talk to Dave England from jackass I remember. Thanks for being you Tom!
Tom started airing in 2006, but MIke David of Red Bar Radio started his show in 2003, truly one of the VERY first podcasts ever. His show was before podcasting existed as a word, before podcast delivery systems like iTunes, his show was on like a geocities type website!
Was hoping for a nod to Adam Curry, he was at the forefront of all of this, too. Great guest on Rogan a couple times, explaining the history of podcasts and such.
I loved Tom Green Live. He used to be so off the wall on that show. I was a little sad as the show morphed and changed to be on TV and then just kinda ended. Glad Tom is still doing well~
7:00 he’s essentially saying the world is desensitized to crazy/comedic antics. Being 28 now, born in 1996. Hearing him speak of the “pre-internet” days, at least in terms of popularity - is just wild. We never used to be so buried in our phones and social media. It was completely weird back then. Having a MySpace was such a crazy idea to people. Now you’re weird for being off the grid. Wild how things turn around like that.
The inventor of the podcast was a guy called Adam Curry. I was on the mailing list where he introduced the idea and its technical implementation. 1999/2000, I forget which. It was a development of RSS, which was invented and promoted by Dave Winer.

@@stevemuzak8526don’t the Rev3 guys predate him? I think they started doing online video content in like 2003 or 2004. I think Diggnation was their first show.
I cannot help but be pedantic and point out Tom Green invented Independent but professional online video shows. They were not podcasts in any way. The inventor of that was Adam Curry and there were previous one camera reality shows in the late 90's like Jenny 2.0 and few proto-video chat shows with models. Apart of TV studio made shows that had streaming online with call ins via netmeeting. Then there was PalTalk where people were able to literally do their MTV like shows or instead do Talk Radio style things. That was literally in 2000. Originally PalTalk started as a jajah kind voip solution in 96 as a test which I was part of. Which Skype would then partially try with a Skype phone. But basically this is why Tom Green didn't get credit. People thought his show was sponsored by a Studio. And what he was doing was based on those TV Studio experiments. He was just actually doing it independently.
Pod cast started on apple music, on the iPods, that's where "podcast" comes from, so it depends what everyone considers the first true podcast, fist one listed on apple? Or first streaming talk show
@@stevemuzak8526diggnation is a year older than Tom’s show. I think he saw a bunch of people with less TV cred than him make waves online and he joined in. It’s almost kinda irrelevant, his show was awesome, but it was basically a local cable show, except it was online. I would say you could argue over Kevin Smith, Tom Green and Marc Maron and probably other people who were there first. Rogan started around the time Carolla did. Except Adam credits himself as the inventor of podcasts 😅
As a kid watching Tom Green on mtv mock his parents I use to laugh my ass off and also get extremely frustrated with this dude. Haha but my favorite was when he had statues of his parents getting it on doggy style in his parents front yard and then a turned his fathers statue into a water fountain and it was pissing on his mom. Hahahaha his dad got so pissed off!!!!
The title is misleading... It's even corrected in the opening dialogue. Joe Rogan credits Adam Curry as being 'The Pod Father'. He credits Tom Green as being the inspiration behind starting his own show. Why not just have the actual claim as the title? Click-bait is a dying manipulation.
Adam might have started a formal podcast first, but Tom was way ahead in general internet experimentation in the 90s, with all kinds of features on his site. Too much to even list.
@@bluepandaman TL;DR - invent =/= inspire I'm not discounting Tom's contribution at all. Simply pointing out that Rogan never said what the title states: 'Joe Rogan says Tom Green invented podcasts'. He HAS said (many times) that visiting Tom's podcast **inspired** him to start his own.
He is a true pioneer 1. His show The Tom Green Show - predates - Jackass, Sasha Baron Cohen, etc etc 2. His internet show - predates - podcasts, video podcasts, 3. He won a Juno (canadian grammy) for his rap group Organized Rhyme (self produced and written) a white rap group winning awards. nobody like him
Tom didn't invent jack shit. Videogame and adult websites in the 90's and 00's were doing live streaming before anyone else. When iPODcasts became known as just Podcasts, the same videogame websites -- IGN, GameSpot, 1UP, and that Japanese site whose name escapes me -- were the first ones in that space as well. I remember how weird it was to watch 'TV' on the internet, and even weirder, I remember telling people it was all free and everyone thought I was pirating it somehow. The real geniuses have and will always be the same people who invent the technology that they -- and everyone else -- end up using. Never forget that.
with the amount of viewers Joe Rogan has and the amount of problems Joe gets because how famous he is now. Tom is happy he didnt get "succesful" before the shit hit the fan.
Actually it was Apple. It in the name. Before we just called it talk radio. Tom Green is much more important than podcasting, which agin, is just talk radio
It's a shame Tom stopped and Joe got popular as after covid and his last politcal endorsement and even worse his last "comedy" special I have no idea why Rogan is popular. Guys a nimrod
Tom green is a legit genius, he got in and out of so many things before anyone knew what was happening
Well said
Not always for the best 😂
He got in and out of a dead moose also, I wonder if that will catch on

I called in many times.
I remember he would write me every now and then and ask if I wanted to call in.
Tom had a website in 1998 that had imbedded videos. He was so far ahead of everyone else he literally was one of a kind.
Ah the days of Realaudio, Realvideo which eventually turned into the malware abomination known as Realplayer, streaming blurry chunk video over 28.8k dialup.

I am glad Tom is getting his credit now.
2 years ago. We hadn’t heard of him.
Tom shoulda kept it going. His internet show was fabulous
Him and Jim Florentine doing prank phone calls and crushing beers was a joy do booze along with them.
When Busta Rhymes challenged Tom to a rap battle on the show..... without knowing Tom was one of Canada's early Rap Battle Pros. 😂😂
@@sethrenaud8647 xzibit
It seemed like it was really stressful though.
Joe needs to team up with Tom and make a documentary on the creation of the podcast and the early Tom green and Joe Rogan years

I remember watching Tom's Live streams back then. It was nuts and a lot of fun.
I used to watch Webovision live all the time. It really was like nothing else i had ever seen. I called in to the show on skype a few times, got to talk to Dave England from jackass I remember. Thanks for being you Tom!
I used to watch it too.. Funny stuff
This series of interviews with Tom green have been some of the most interesting and amazing videos on here in a while
regardless if he’s first or not he is a true innovator

Been a Tom Green fan since before he threw any piggies off the hill. Love your comedy and outlook on life
I was obsessed with Tom Green's show in the late 90s. I still love it and show it to my kids. They are teenagers and know the bum bum song!
Tom you crushed Xzibit! I was tuned in that night!!
Was hoping for a nod to Adam Curry, he was at the forefront of all of this, too. Great guest on Rogan a couple times, explaining the history of podcasts and such.
Totally! If you can find that episode with Rogan you'll see the light turn on in his head as he figures out the genius of Tom's set-up.
Tom Green was essentially a Precursor to Reality Tv & Podcasts.
Not reality tv. That was long before Tom Green Show
Always loved Tom. Such a good dude and absolutely hilarious back in the day
Excellent interview. I will always be a Tom Green fan and a fan of your show as well!

Undercutters pizza is still one of my favorite things he ever did.
Adam Curry "The Podfather" and Dave Winer are credited with creating podcasting. Joe Rogan is just a wildly successful podcaster.
Tom Green did the first live streaming podcast.
Itm!
Joe became a successful podcaster you have to watch how he started
ITM!
@@stevemuzak8526don’t the Rev3 guys predate him? I think they started doing online video content in like 2003 or 2004. I think Diggnation was their first show.

Radical! 🔥🔥🔥🐲
It's Adam curry!!!! The pod father!!!!
Tom green is a legend..🤘
Tom Green will forever be one of my favorite people. (but also: A wild Joe Franklin appears...)
I wish i knew about this show at the time. Such a cool time in tech
"GENTLEMEN!" - Tom Green with pencils in his mouth
Tom was and will always be a legend imo
Im pulling for you, remember we're all in this together

First this guy is a real one
Tom is one of the best , he is so funny.
His business model is having fun doing what he loves, and thats why it worked.
The Ricky Gervais Show was the first globally popular podcast of note and even that wasn't the start of podcasting. Those shows came out in 2005.

Title is click bait. Pretty sure Adam Curry invented podcasting
We love you Tom!
no there were other podcasts Joe just had comedians and people like graham Hancock who were interesting. the best podcasts always have guests
Podcasts were invented by Adam Curry in 2004. 20 years ago. Tom Green started years after.
Tom was way ahead of his time
Adam Curry
nostalgia overload.....makes me wanna head out to the highway and play Celery Generals
Hey.. Tom… Can you do a barrel roll?
A barrel roll?
@ YEAH! A barrel roll.
You want me to do a barrel roll?
Legend
Adam Carolla was a pioneer too
Web O Vision
He was definitely a trailblazer.
Tom Green, Marc Maron, and Ricky Gervais. I think all 3 started around the same time.

TG got that dawg in him
It's not weird to be weird on the internet.
Remember that folks
Why record an interview, break it into clips, then add a preview clip before the real clip?
The real pod father
Not being online is the new weird, and Tom is a trailblazer, again.
3:20
And Garth from Wayne's World invented the actual video toaster.
one of the most interesting people...
1% royalty of all pods to Tom
Can't forget Curry as well.
if you kids want to know what live streaming/internet was like back then if you watched the jake paul/tyson fight on netflix then you lived it baby
Imagine how huge this guy's career would have been IF he was into kids.
Who would have thought we be able to make a living off of being weird on the internet good times indeed
Didn’t Ricky Gervais do it first?
Prouuuuuuuuuuuuuuud
This is the Tom Green show, its not the green tom show lol 😆 😂 🤣 😄
Like chuck the security guard.
Nobody likes Onions was before all these guys.

I remember when Adam Corolla was sueing Tom Green for the patent rights. He kept calling him a patent troll
I think you're conflating two different things dude. Adam was sued by a "Patent troll" who was 100% not Tom Green
BARREL ROLL!
Anyone?

No need to re-hash this, Tom Green fell off the face of the earth literally. Leave him alone.
Why does he look so old?
Who Tf cares about Rogan?
