I was fresh out of college in 1988 and on my way into a pool hall one evening when I was approached by a dude in the parking lot who started asking me questions about my life, my ambitions and my goals. He went on to tell me about this book that had changed his life and wanted to share it with me. He said that it only costs what I was able to pay for it. As I started walking away, he told me he would give it to me for free if I would seriously consider reading it. I took the book and threw it in my car. The next day, at work, it was break time. I grabbed my lunch box and the book from my car and met my fellow workers at the fire barrel where we congregated during breaks. I sat down and started reading "Dianetics" by L. Ron Hubbard. The first few paragraphs and pages had me interested - had me thinking how great it would be to have all the qualities that were promised if you follow this course. Then, suddenly. Boom! Someone snatched the book out of my hands and threw it into the fire barrel. It was my coworker, Pete. He said, "You'll thank me for that later!" Thanks Pete!
Ahhh Fire Barrel😏 Now those were the days!!! And that's why we have stupid shit like robots giving us lip.... Extinction of Fire Barrels... We Should Bring that Back✊🏽 RISE OF THE MIDDLE AGERS!!!! #WE REMEMBER THE 80s🤬 #F*CK WITH US💪🏾🤩💪🏾... right after this nap🤦🏽♀️🥲
Years ago I read a couple of the Hubbard books and visited the nearby church of Scientology a couple times. I interviewed the staff, they showed me a video, hooked me up to the dial, etc. I wanted to learn about it before jumping on the bandwagon of dismissing it. And I can say confidently: they're batshit crazy.
@@RenfromBespin To be honest, I can't really tell you. I was either physically hooked up to a dial or it was supposed to pick up my energy without it. It was supposedly to record my reactions to a memory. It spiked at my first recall, she pinched me, asked me to recall the same memory, and it spiked less. The purpose? Still couldn't tell you.
When I was around 17, and started struggling with some very serious and deep mental illness, engaging in self harm and eating disordered behaviors, my dad took me to the Scientology headquarters in Miami and had them audit me and do a personality test, claiming it would cure my anxiety and depression. Im lucky they didn't scoop me up back then.
You developed mental illness, so your father thought you'd be fixed by an organization that disbelieves in mental healthcare. That was brilliant of him. In all seriousness, I hope you're doing better now.
A person doesn't just decide to go to Scientology for help with their child versus medical professionals unless they were already into it.. Just Saying
@@katebrunne4311 I think your comment is : suspect aka BULLSHIT ... NOONE decides that taking their child who is exibiting mental health issues to SCIENTOLOGY is an avenue for a treatment plan versus exausting every clinical option.. ie: hospital, family doctor, adolescent therapist, psychotherapist ect for a psychological work up.. Scientology isn't 1 of those things that comes up as a 'hey let me get my troubled child some help @ Scientology' ..it has never been mainstream enough to be considered a treatment avenue for adolescents so so Unless your father was already 'into' Scientology or associated with people from Scientology I'm calling it as I read it.. clear enough?
@@UsernameUnkwn21 wait really?! So im just making this up then... yeah okay. Im not here to waste my time making shit up for the luls. It really happened to me and it traumatizing. Take YOUR bullshit somewhere else.
I worked for a company in Clearwater FL who required us to take basic courses a certain amount of hours a week. I had already seen Going Clear but needed the income so I took the job anyways. Let me tell you, being required by company policy to take a “religious” course every week blew my mind. You can’t have it both ways Scientology. Pay your taxes for your BUSINESS.
Most people don't understand how weird downtown Clearwater is. To see so many people dressed in color coded uniforms and marching from one Scientology building to the next; it always gave me chills being down there, just a very odd vibe.
I worked for a company in Seminole that is very highly Scientologist. The CEO is like rank 2 or 3 on the superiority of it. They would offer the classes if you were "unique". They would have positions at the job where people would just come and take notes on you. Freaking weird people man
@@Nandoswitharando Oh yeah, Clearwater, Largo, St.Pete and Seminole is infested with them. I used to go hang out with my friends on the beach near the Scientology building in St Pete, and there's always people there and hella security. Needless to say, stay away from them, super weird people. I've heard stories where they have tried to frame people for crazy stuff like murders or rapes because someone exposed them, etc.
Honestly, I'm surprised that they keep their members working for free on boats instead of encouraging them to go out and make a ton of money. Seems like the church could get a lot richer doing that. 🤷🏼♀️
I was approached in Austin in the 90s by a Scientoligist. I went in the "church" to hear his speil. I was put in a dark, cold theater room alone and shown some propaganda movie about man being from mud and clearing yourself. It was all very creepy. They called me almost everyday for a month trying to get me to come back. My roommate finally screamed "Jesus has her eternal soul" at them over the phone and they quit calling. Bizarre experience.
I grew up a Jehovah witness, when I watched Leah Remini scientology show I was like "wait a minute... All this is awfully familiar... Oh shit, I'm in a cult " Got out and rest is history, paid a high price tho, shunned by family and child hood friends that are still in, but the freedom I gained was worth it.
You are not alone. Most "religions" shun anyone who doesn't blindly follow the "doctrine." Anything that turns parents against their children is inherently evil but unfortunately people never learn from history.
Same with me and Mormonism lol broke away at 17. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted. Don’t know how grown, educated people can be apart of that nonsense..
@Joshua Sepanski I hope you surround yourself with people who support you. Religion is not necessary to have relationships and anyone willing to turn their back on family and friends just because someone decides to leave needs to ask it this is a church or a cult.
hes saying it 'shouldnt' affect ones behavior, religion should affect it. youre probably referring to people that worship political causes, thats still religion.
Yes? There are a lot of people with strong political beliefs who don’t let it impact their behaviour. He didn’t say no one’s behaviour is impacted by it.
Politics don't affect people's behavior or principles all that much. Rather, it's their behavior and principles that lean them in a certain political direction. Religious devotion affects behavior much more than politics.
You haven't lived in Australia. A whole country where we don't bang on about politics, unless an election is coming up, or we're ripping into the prime minister, regardless of party. You yanks take it too seriously. Especially considering the only real difference between the 2 (the fact you only have 2 real parties is such a laugh. It's like you guys want to get a$$ r@ped by Da ElItE) is the tax rate ;)
@@RogueBoyScout I'd say that there are two sides right now in America. Those who believe in Constitutional Rights. And those who don't. Not too hard to see the difference; Only one side is stifling the other's speech.
Funny true story about Scientology. Joe is pretty much spot on about their reps doing random talent searches all around the LA area and bringing them to show off their skills whether its acting, singing, dancing and entertainment supposed stuff people wished they'd be famous and have a stardom career. I was in Burbank for some reason I can't remember other than getting interviewed for a job idk. But two ordinary looking adults came up me to me and asked if I was interested in auditioning. They invited us to their "Celebrity Center" and it was a pretty normal looking amphitheater. And one by one we each auditioned. I thought I was a good singer but I read the room and I know I sucked ass! Still got a round of applause for it which was unusual. Sat us back down to watch the other auditioners and one by one I noticed each person was being led to somewhere else for a special interview. Nothing is barely mentioned about how great your performance was and went straight to asking really personal questions with each question getting more uncomfortable. They basically get to shrinking you at this point and you can't help feeling that as a young person without having done much in life and belonging to nowhere their cause seems interesting to you. Then they offered you go take stupid classes like "How To Get Motivated" because they concluded in their analysis that I have problems being motivated which was kinda true at the time but not really. It was the most broad amd generic thing they can diagnose someone but half way through that class answering dumb questions out of a workbook I left after thinking "I don't need a class to learn to be motivated!", and they tried persuading me to stay, but I'm a pretty impatient person with things like these so I bounced. Upon walking across the street to get to my car, I looked back to see the building and saw "Church of Scientology Celebrity Center". Didn't bother me at the time and couple years later when I became obsessed with finding out what Scientology was all about, I literally dodged a bullet there. I had almost became a cult member without even knowing it LOL
I got stopped on the streets of Barcelona by a kind well-mannered homeless man named Jenny in 2003. He promised to teach me the secrets of all world religions and which is the single one on the path towards the divine. He made me lick a really smelly track and field baton with my eyes closed but he was true to his word. Scientology is the real deal.
It’s because you only watch RUclips. Joe is killin it on Spotify. His content has gotten better ever since he left YT. Spotify doesn’t censor what he says so it’s definitely gotten better. YT is garbage and I hope there is a mass exudes from it like there is a mass exudes from California.
Thank God/L. Ron for Leah Remini being brave enough to speak out about the scams and intimidations going on within scientology(funny that Apple’s keyboard autocorrects scientology with a capital “S”, but doesn’t autocorrect the word “God”).
God isn’t a religion. Although Christianity is, and it is capitalized. Is that the god you were referring to? I’m not being a smart ass, I just also agree a bit with the previous comment. Who are you referring to as god?
@@danatowne5498 he might be just pointing out Apple's priorities, that's not the same as letting Apple decide for him Edit: I found it a very funny observation btw
@@mirjamkronemeijer3402 , maybe. I just saw it as the English language in general myself, not as an Apple priority.... imagine the extra time you would need to go back and correct if you were writing about Marduk or Ra if they always capitalized a god as God... :)
I live in Clearwater and the scientology building is beautiful. Its covered in cameras, like a ridiculous amount of cameras👁. Park street terminal is ten steps from the building and if you sit there for a few minutes, chances are about a hundred people will come out like schools out. They all wear the same clothes like a white long sleeve shirt with a black tunic. Its weird to see a mainstream cult at the center of this city. The banks and stuff were restored and it's mostly owned by the scientology folks with placks that proclaim ownership. It's all got a strange feeling around it.
I find that so interesting. Does it affect the local scene a lot or do they tend to keep to themselves? Have you ever been pressured to join? I wonder if people working for church owned companies get pressured to join or if there is defferential treatment to those who are members?
@@jen30551 in LA it sounds like pretty much the same set up. The answers, they hound you and bombard you with open questions and try to find your insecurities. Then they will hone in on them and try to get you to attend a video in their base with the view to solving your insecurities. Step one of the pyramid scheme lol
When I look at that photo of Tom Cruise and the Scientology leader I imagine them saying “Look at these giant medals we just made up and gave ourselves!”
There was that episode where they got lost in the parking garage that had George asking a woman about Scientology. Think that was around the same time Seinfeld was taking courses.
I used to live on the Drag just up the road from that scientology church in Austin. I'll never forget waiting to get the bus one day towards downtown. The bus was delayed. A guy with a clipboard asked me if I wanted to take part in some research. I was studying in the university, had some free time because of the delayed bus, so was happy to help a friendly face out. The guy started asking really deep questions like "do you think people have the right to their own life?" I was really taken in, fascinated by the man's questions. I came up with the most thought out answers I could muster in the moment. Around 15 minutes later my bus arrives. I'm after having one of the deepest 15 minute conversations of my life. As I step onto the bus I ask him what school on campus he's conducting the research with. He replies it's just down the road. I ask him specifically where on campus it is. He quickly says it's with the church of scientology. I immediately burst out laughing thinking he was joking. His look says it all. He was absolutely serious. "Oh, sorry man I thought you were joking" I respond. The bus closes its doors, we exchange an awkward look, and I continue on my journey downtown!
@@PatsPsychologyMSc now that you say it, thinking about it more cynically I would imagine that little scenario is one of the best ways to break the ice... or rather to dragon blast through the game of thrones style ice wall we all have in our minds shielding us from probable attempts to brainwash us. Everyone knows how fucked up they are. There's no going around it, they'll have to admit they are scientology at one point if they want to recruit. There is going to be an immediate loss of credibility and interest on your side. Only way to counter that is build as much credibility and interest in the short time you have and hope it is enough...
@@alexisjuillard4816 absolutely, and I have no doubt in my mind that that scientologist was a nice person. It's a terrible shame that they were convinced by such dogmatic bullshit, wasting their time recruiting for an abhorrent organisation, as opposed to using their time productively for an organisation/cause that are a force for good in the world.
I read Dianetics cover-to-cover when I was 18 years old. It was intriguing at first. I kept reading, thinking I would eventually be introduced to the scientific experiments that led to Hubbard's conclusions, but that never happened. Instead, e-meter techniques were suddenly introduced, out of the blue and with no logically identifiable connection to anything that came before. The book just got weirder and weirder, and never really proved anything, so fortunately for me, I never pursued it further. I've since read "Going Clear" and several other books detailing peoples' actual experiences with Scientology. True eye openers.
@@brokentombot It WAS watching the progression of a madman.... actually no, that's too harsh. We say all this trash about him like he didn't make the religion as a deliberate, eternal trolling moment for the ages.
Kevin, maybe you had a misunderstanding. My mother died and I suffered for 3 years. Scientology staff got rid of my grief in 3 hours with the e- meter and Dianetics, which deals with the mind. Many times Hubbard wrote something that I did not agree with and 3 days later something would happen in my life that showed me that Hubbard was right. He did thousands of experiments and discovered many laws of life and what makes people tick.
Or time when was live stream and watch people have fun same moment when he stop go live I was stop watch bcs when is live you feel like you participate in it you are first who see Elon take a hit of joint this now you can watch when you wish and they can cut some interesting things etc
Yea, but back in my days we could watch unlimited/multiple episodes in one day! It was legen..........wait for it.........dary at the turn of the past decade. We even had Coco back then..........Coco!!!!!!!!!! Joey Fucking Diaz, Man!!!!!! Those were the days!!
@Daffy Duck well said daffy. in honour of this comment I going support you by not wearing pants in public today. Side question. if you take your bill off do you still have to wear a mask?
My sister in law went to the Scientology Center and told me about the soup cans or E-meters. And she met one of the ladies who (in my sister in law’s words) was nice but, fake nice. So she goes through the whole explaining Scientology to my sister in law and asked if she had any questions. “Yeah, who do you people pray to?” She told me the lady turned from nice to ugly within a second and told her to get out.
I would absolutely adore Joe Rogan if he infiltrated Scientology just to tell us all about it. He could probably move up the ranks pretty fast considering he's wealthy, famous, has a massive speaking platform, has huge audiences attend his comedy shows. They would push him to the top rapidly just to use him in every way possible. They wouldn't abuse joe since he would he a high value member
@@TrollBot-dv1rk You obviously don't know Joe Rogan at all if you would characterize him as "impressionable." He is widely respected among friends and fans for being such a critical thinker
They hate two kinds of people. Those who can think for themselves and those who criticize/have criticized the church. Rogan ticked both boxes a long time ago.
I already had Spotify Premium when Rogan came over to Spotify.. But since they started injecting ads, even for Premium users, into the middle of the podcast (something Rogan has said he'd never do).. I stopped listening on Spotify and reverted back to just watching the clips here on RUclips.. Greed will always ruin a good thing... case in point....
That was my first brush up against a Scientologist back in the 70's when I was 21. I actually bought Ron Hubbard's paperback book, Dianetics. I read it, but wasn't impressed by it, and saw it as a possible scam. Scientology "salesmen" came to my apartment several times after that. I always put them off.
Joe Rogan is really good and getting to the heart of the interview. none of that crap interviews in which the person knows what they are going to be asked. You can tell that the interviews are free-flowing.
Everyone is talking about how they haven't seen the podcast since the Spotify move happened, and here I am just to remind everyone that the new studio still sucks.
I used to do contract work for a company which was a family concern. I was invited to dinner with them as a 'get to know you'. This was the creepiest evening. The senior male, father, was being waited on hand and foot by his daughters in a super flirty way. It was surreal. I was invited to join them for a 'reading'. No thank you. No more work from them. Ha!
Part of what makes JRE on RUclips so great is the comment section. I don't think Joe fully grasps that part of the Experience involves the voice of the community.
@Wyteliberalrcst you totally missed his point. I think engaging the audience in discussion and exchange is a good point in favour of the RUclips platform. Or, the freedom to throw insults, as you have chosen. Come on man, and what's with that "rely on podcasts made by other men" comment?
@Wyteliberalrcst mijo? Biden? I'm Canadian. You're all over the map. I'll try to answer your question. I have no problem. I'm just pointing out that some people like to engage in discussion, share ideas, and perspective. Then there are people like you, who think it is fashionable to be contrarian, and cool to throw childish insults. Just chill. You're trying too hard...
@Wyteliberalrcst You sound like you don't know how to spell. In case you hadn't noticed, the majority of the JRE content is no longer on RUclips and is only accessible on Spotify. By the way, it is often true that what you see in other people is a reflection of yourself.
He used to be the opposite, was watching an old Louis theroux one, Joe knew when to talk and shut up and it was really well done but the newer ones he just won't shut up
Specialist? I guess so. Pretty sad that some people speacialize in being against something... I mean I'm not going to tell anyone it's a good idea to join the church of scientology, but making a career out of bashing something is lame and I don't respect it.
@@acidtester7470 I'm just joking because Joe does it a lot with actual specialists. People should be allowed to spread information on bad and questionable practices and groups. How can they do it well if they can't do it full time? Scientology and many other things deserve critical scrutiny and investigation. Many are conned out of their life savings over misplaced trust and hope and worse. Don't let a preference for fuzzy feelings and hopeful positivity make you an idiot. Not that you are, but many enable and indirectly defend villainous behavior by projecting naive optimism where it doesn't exist or having very unrealistic preferences for conduct or communications.
@@acidtester7470 I think there are certain things that "being against" is pretty noble. There are folks that spend a lot of time informing people about sex trafficking, child labor, the blood-diamond industry etc... Scientology has a lot of aspects that make it toxic. This guy takes his time to inform people about why scientology is dangerous. Why would that be a bad thing?
@@III-vg4dp yeah I get the joke. He does do it alot. For sure people should be able to do it. I don't think I'm much of an optimist like that. I think there is positives and negatives to most everything that exists. I don't think scientology is worse than many other religions. Are you familiar with the freezone scientology at all? There are many people who left the church and still swear that over all scientology as a subject rather than the organization/ church has seriously helped them in life. I think painting anything as a complete negative is stepping away from truth. Its not an accurate picture. Same thing vice versa. My issue with these things is not about fuzzy feelings. Scandal sells. And I think when you are making it your buisness to bash something chances are to some degree a person is going to distort the truth to sell more. For sure there are some things that need to be said and exposed and I'm all for that. Im all for looking to see things as they are not as we would like to see them. I checked out Leah Remini's show. I don't think everything she exposed is bullshit, but seems to me she is an irrelevant actress who found a situation she can milk. Her tears seemed so disingenuous it's, clear she is an actress and not a very good one at that. They play on those fuzzy feelings and the outrage. It's the sensationalism I have issue with. Its not a good trend. I'm pretty pessimistic actually. Im weary of anyone who says that their prime intention is to save people. Be it cult leaders, politicians, or those that expose such things.
I know people who wouldn’t sell out for that much, know and understand even less folks who would EVER sellout. I know I wouldn’t, yet I don’t blame Joe for getting those bags of cash. 100 million is “fuk you” money & he has more than earned every cent of it+he’s actually using it for decent to absolutely AMAZING reasons. Good for him.
Watching this today, in the midst of all the accusations against Rogan’s podcast re: vaccines…this clip is a PERFECT example of what Joe Rogan has to show us about open, curious dialogue. At one point he reflects on his process to becoming more informed of all kinds of ideas in his life. ❤️❤️
I have no problem of joe or anyone asking questions about the vaccine or other treatments. I have a problem with bringing up data and conspiracies that are either an outright lie or literally made for pushing people on a different way for money. That's what bothers me. I don't think Joe did any of that maliciously btw. I think he had people on that he should have vetted alot more then he did
The interesting thing is that spotify thought we'd come along, but watching JRE never happened on porpuse, at least not for me! Now there's just one less channel on my feed 😔
I was visiting LA as a child, probably around 13 or 14 years of age. The tour guide on the bud said “that’s the church of Scientology. If you see anyone handing out pamphlets, run as fast as you can in the other direction”. Blew my mind as a kid, only in recent years do I understand what he meant.
Joe just gave an excellent analysis on Los Angeles. Here in the UK to me the whole Hollywood thing has always sounded really weird. Its created a lust for fame to the point that people are exploited and I can imagine many thousands of lives have been ruined by that desire to be famous.
@@andromeda8rose it really isn't just look at the UK news about the royals most comments are just taking the piss out of them or asking why we still pay these people taxes, you have nothing to gain from them. Being famous in Hollywood is completely different thing and is not probable but it is possible unlike being king of England lol
@@TheGrimeekid it's not the same, I just meant that it's a close equivalent as far as public obsession. The news on the UK may not venerate them but plenty of citizens do
Joe is always so clear headed with his questions. "If you go fishing one time are you a fisherman?" And it's not to be rude or trying to strong arm... It's generally just to make the guest question their stand. Admirable.
Right about the belts system in kickboxing. I was stationed in Virginia beach and studied under Craig Smith and he developed a belt system. Also he recognized belts from any discipline to their equivalent in his dojo.
@@chrisgould101 Donald's Martial Training is popular amongst the Disney human-animal offspring (like Mickey mouse and goofy). Donald said if you can't afford the lessons you can put it on his bill.
Just watched this and had to comment. We my friends, big teenagers at the time, early eighties something on night out got invited in to probably the first settlement in my country. Being a little tipsy we absolutely failed doing the test things and then was asked to watch a movie instead, we quickly got bored and smelled bullshit, so we decided to have some fun and trashed the tv and and some furniture. We do 😂 stupid teenage things thing growing up, but this episode I’m actually proud of and we turned out all right. Becoming Airline pilots, business owners. Still friends to this day and none of us are members of Scientology 🎉.
@@nirmaleva Yeah, I remember when he was interviewing Leah Remini, he kept on asking: there must have been something good about it, something good you took from it. I mean, seriously? It is a cult that draws narcissistic personality type of people with very limited education and offers them moon and stars. It relies on them feeling marvellous about themselves, at least initially, and while the victims dream of fame, the cult is ripping them off.
It makes you feel less guilty about being rich and asking for more money because, a huge portion of that money is spent on Scientology, anyway. And scientologists are here to 'save the world',so it must be good. Just like how Tom completely felt justified, talking crap about brooke shield's post natal depression in the name of Scientology and then still finding the gall to seek her out and apologize....in private. Most creatives are good at their job because they lack something in their 'inner world' Any natural actor will freely admit to that: we crave justification because of an innate feeling of inadequacy. We are expert in pretending that we are adequate. We're just not that ashamed to pretend to be somebody else in order to get what comes so easily to others. It's people like Miscaviage who prey on people with actual talent because most naturally gifted people are terribly insecure. I remember when a scientologist 'friend' dropped her mask when I asked her why she was picking on me in front of others. She was very accomplished. I am not. She has diplomas I don't care about. But she still felt the need to embarass me in front of people who saw something in me. That is what Scientology does: it elavates the inadequate to a level that is dependant on their salary; not the character of their being.
@@philipwhitcomb5358 He was my grandfather (my family's from New Zealand). He moved to Los Angeles and spent about 5 years living there while involved with the church. Eventually he ended up poor living back in New Zealand, although he was always known as a happy, eccentric person. Generally, people thought of his Scientology involvement as a total tragedy. He had the opportunity to join a class action lawsuit against the church, a movement that was started by other people who'd lost heaps of money to Scientology. But he chose to not join the movement because he believed he'd benefited from Scientology in some way. He died in 2010.
My dad's mate was one and refused treatments as well a a diagnosis for cancer.Lost a hundred pounds and I asked him what was wrong and he said "what do you mean what's wrong"?
I remember getting accosted in the street by these guys, in the 90s, and took their little test. They said I would need extra work. So I was invited to a town 30 miles away to begin this "journey". It involved staying a few nights at their accommodation. It didn't take long to find out that it will cost money. I was poor at the time and decided to go home, without telling them. They rang me up later on asking why I left. After saying I couldn't afford it, they thought I was weird and tried to persuade me to continue. I declined. On hindsight, I'm glad that I dodged that bullet.
Testosterone isn’t a steroid... and at his age, he needs it and Drs are the ones giving it to him. Plus even if it is steroids ( don’t think so, he’s too health conscious) or EPO for endurance, it doesn’t matter, it’s not like he’s fighting in the UFC where it could hurt someone because they’re juiced It looks like testosterone and a shit ton of work, that’s not a steroid body, it looks natural
Real fans? No way. Real fans wouldn't bitch and complain about Joe getting a massive deal that set him up for life then refuse to simply download an app to continue watching him. You're not a real fan, you're a child who refuses to accept change.
It was in mid 70’s I was working as a flight attendant and was in New York on a lay over staying in Statler Hilton hotel and in the street out, there were people selling book on Scientology and I bought one. I had no clue what was it all about. Now years later I read about it and wonder what I did with that book?
@@nicolasclermont893 Cost is not my concern. The interface is shit, I don't want FULL screen or this crap 1/8th window nonsense. What I want is the YT Theatre interface on 1/2 the monitor.

I wish someone would ask Tom Cruise - “Do you think our souls were released from volcanoes with nuclear weapons dropped from 747s around 75 Trillion years ago?” Put him on the spot
What I like about Rogan is, his interviews aren’t just about the guest, he is also interviewing himself. It dawned on me when I said to myself someone should interview Joe!
Moving this podcast to Spotify was a suicidal move ... it's going to almost disappear within a year ... really sad because it's one the best and with the most interesting guests :-(
People thought the same about Howard Stern when he went to Sirius. The show will evolve but I dont think he is going anywhere. I reallllly do wish he would change that horrible studio though. Gawd awful...
@@supaflywhiteguy7635 You don't work in marketing ... obviously ... 23% audience lost because available on Spotify only and 18% audience drastically reduced their time on JRE. 41% reduction vs 16% that were favorable to Spotify.

yeah, it's joe's planned retirement. we're all upset over it, but hey, the guy got tired of being famous and causing sh*tstorms. he just wants to do podcasting as a hobby now.
To anyone that's depressed out there, I just want you to know that time heals all things. That doesn't help in the moment, but you can look to the future for relief.

He went on to tell me about this book that had changed his life and wanted to share it with me. He said that it only costs what I was able to pay for it. As I started walking away, he told me he would give it to me for free if I would seriously consider reading it. I took the book and threw it in my car. The next day, at work, it was break time. I grabbed my lunch box and the book from my car and met my fellow workers at the fire barrel where we congregated during breaks. I sat down and started reading "Dianetics" by L. Ron Hubbard. The first few paragraphs and pages had me interested - had me thinking how great it would be to have all the qualities that were promised if you follow this course. Then, suddenly. Boom! Someone snatched the book out of my hands and threw it into the fire barrel. It was my coworker, Pete. He said, "You'll thank me for that later!"
Thanks Pete!
God bless pete....
I love good ol youtube fan-fic.
I had a similar experience, except I completed the book. It changed my life. Now, 20 years later I'm an OT6 and proud of it.

A completely open Tom Cruise on this pod would be the most fascinating episode of a podcast ever
There’s no such thing as a completely open Tom Cruise
That's as likely to happen as everything that L. Ron Hubbard promises.
The cult leader can’t answer truthful questions.
That sadly won’t happen but yes it would so interesting
His handlers would never allow it.
Only thing weirder than Scientology is Joe hosting people inside a Toaster

Watch Wild wild country. Just as mad.
Years ago I read a couple of the Hubbard books and visited the nearby church of Scientology a couple times. I interviewed the staff, they showed me a video, hooked me up to the dial, etc. I wanted to learn about it before jumping on the bandwagon of dismissing it. And I can say confidently: they're batshit crazy.
What does being hooked up to the dial mean?
@@RenfromBespin To be honest, I can't really tell you. I was either physically hooked up to a dial or it was supposed to pick up my energy without it. It was supposedly to record my reactions to a memory. It spiked at my first recall, she pinched me, asked me to recall the same memory, and it spiked less. The purpose? Still couldn't tell you.
@@BG-mj1wp I don’t really know what to say other than - wow 😳
@@RenfromBespin What CAN you say? It makes no sense. Like the rest of Scientology.
@@RenfromBespin I've heard some members are made to sit there for hours and hour's - hooked up to that BS machine.
When I was around 17, and started struggling with some very serious and deep mental illness, engaging in self harm and eating disordered behaviors, my dad took me to the Scientology headquarters in Miami and had them audit me and do a personality test, claiming it would cure my anxiety and depression. Im lucky they didn't scoop me up back then.
You developed mental illness, so your father thought you'd be fixed by an organization that disbelieves in mental healthcare. That was brilliant of him. In all seriousness, I hope you're doing better now.
A person doesn't just decide to go to Scientology for help with their child versus medical professionals unless they were already into it.. Just Saying
@@UsernameUnkwn21 I am not getting the point here. Can you explain?
@@katebrunne4311 I think your comment is : suspect aka BULLSHIT ... NOONE decides that taking their child who is exibiting mental health issues to SCIENTOLOGY is an avenue for a treatment plan versus exausting every clinical option.. ie: hospital, family doctor, adolescent therapist, psychotherapist ect for a psychological work up.. Scientology isn't 1 of those things that comes up as a 'hey let me get my troubled child some help @ Scientology' ..it has never been mainstream enough to be considered a treatment avenue for adolescents so so Unless your father was already 'into' Scientology or associated with people from Scientology I'm calling it as I read it.. clear enough?
@@UsernameUnkwn21 wait really?! So im just making this up then... yeah okay. Im not here to waste my time making shit up for the luls. It really happened to me and it traumatizing. Take YOUR bullshit somewhere else.
I worked for a company in Clearwater FL who required us to take basic courses a certain amount of hours a week. I had already seen Going Clear but needed the income so I took the job anyways. Let me tell you, being required by company policy to take a “religious” course every week blew my mind. You can’t have it both ways Scientology. Pay your taxes for your BUSINESS.
Most people don't understand how weird downtown Clearwater is. To see so many people dressed in color coded uniforms and marching from one Scientology building to the next; it always gave me chills being down there, just a very odd vibe.
They own 50% of the property in downtown clearwater. Fkn insane. They do keep their buildings looking clean as ffff though.
I worked for a company in Seminole that is very highly Scientologist. The CEO is like rank 2 or 3 on the superiority of it. They would offer the classes if you were "unique". They would have positions at the job where people would just come and take notes on you. Freaking weird people man
Damn I’m in south Florida and didn’t even know they had a base here, the more you know. Now I’ll stay clear of Clearwater lmao
@@Nandoswitharando Oh yeah, Clearwater, Largo, St.Pete and Seminole is infested with them. I used to go hang out with my friends on the beach near the Scientology building in St Pete, and there's always people there and hella security. Needless to say, stay away from them, super weird people. I've heard stories where they have tried to frame people for crazy stuff like murders or rapes because someone exposed them, etc.
I wish I could afford to be a Scientologist. Not that I'd become one, I just wish I could afford it!
Honestly, I'm surprised that they keep their members working for free on boats instead of encouraging them to go out and make a ton of money. Seems like the church could get a lot richer doing that. 🤷🏼♀️

He was definitely right in his own case
I was approached in Austin in the 90s by a Scientoligist. I went in the "church" to hear his speil. I was put in a dark, cold theater room alone and shown some propaganda movie about man being from mud and clearing yourself. It was all very creepy. They called me almost everyday for a month trying to get me to come back. My roommate finally screamed "Jesus has her eternal soul" at them over the phone and they quit calling. Bizarre experience.
I grew up a Jehovah witness, when I watched Leah Remini scientology show I was like "wait a minute... All this is awfully familiar... Oh shit, I'm in a cult "
Got out and rest is history, paid a high price tho, shunned by family and child hood friends that are still in, but the freedom I gained was worth it.
You are not alone. Most "religions" shun anyone who doesn't blindly follow the "doctrine." Anything that turns parents against their children is inherently evil but unfortunately people never learn from history.
Same with me and Mormonism lol broke away at 17. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted. Don’t know how grown, educated people can be apart of that nonsense..
Congratulations. I hope you find a good support network 💙
@Joshua Sepanski I hope you surround yourself with people who support you.
Religion is not necessary to have relationships and anyone willing to turn their back on family and friends just because someone decides to leave needs to ask it this is a church or a cult.

I noticed that too.. and the fact the Joe didn’t is pretty telling.
Politics don't affect people's behavior or principles all that much. Rather, it's their behavior and principles that lean them in a certain political direction. Religious devotion affects behavior much more than politics.

Funny true story about Scientology. Joe is pretty much spot on about their reps doing random talent searches all around the LA area and bringing them to show off their skills whether its acting, singing, dancing and entertainment supposed stuff people wished they'd be famous and have a stardom career. I was in Burbank for some reason I can't remember other than getting interviewed for a job idk. But two ordinary looking adults came up me to me and asked if I was interested in auditioning. They invited us to their "Celebrity Center" and it was a pretty normal looking amphitheater. And one by one we each auditioned. I thought I was a good singer but I read the room and I know I sucked ass! Still got a round of applause for it which was unusual. Sat us back down to watch the other auditioners and one by one I noticed each person was being led to somewhere else for a special interview. Nothing is barely mentioned about how great your performance was and went straight to asking really personal questions with each question getting more uncomfortable. They basically get to shrinking you at this point and you can't help feeling that as a young person without having done much in life and belonging to nowhere their cause seems interesting to you. Then they offered you go take stupid classes like "How To Get Motivated" because they concluded in their analysis that I have problems being motivated which was kinda true at the time but not really. It was the most broad amd generic thing they can diagnose someone but half way through that class answering dumb questions out of a workbook I left after thinking "I don't need a class to learn to be motivated!", and they tried persuading me to stay, but I'm a pretty impatient person with things like these so I bounced. Upon walking across the street to get to my car, I looked back to see the building and saw "Church of Scientology Celebrity Center". Didn't bother me at the time and couple years later when I became obsessed with finding out what Scientology was all about, I literally dodged a bullet there. I had almost became a cult member without even knowing it LOL
that's how they get you!!
I got stopped on the streets of Barcelona by a kind well-mannered homeless man named Jenny in 2003. He promised to teach me the secrets of all world religions and which is the single one on the path towards the divine. He made me lick a really smelly track and field baton with my eyes closed but he was true to his word. Scientology is the real deal.

They all wear the same clothes like a white long sleeve shirt with a black tunic. Its weird to see a mainstream cult at the center of this city. The banks and stuff were restored and it's mostly owned by the scientology folks with placks that proclaim ownership. It's all got a strange feeling around it.
I find that so interesting. Does it affect the local scene a lot or do they tend to keep to themselves? Have you ever been pressured to join? I wonder if people working for church owned companies get pressured to join or if there is defferential treatment to those who are members?

I used to live on the Drag just up the road from that scientology church in Austin.
I'll never forget waiting to get the bus one day towards downtown. The bus was delayed. A guy with a clipboard asked me if I wanted to take part in some research. I was studying in the university, had some free time because of the delayed bus, so was happy to help a friendly face out. The guy started asking really deep questions like "do you think people have the right to their own life?" I was really taken in, fascinated by the man's questions. I came up with the most thought out answers I could muster in the moment.
Around 15 minutes later my bus arrives. I'm after having one of the deepest 15 minute conversations of my life. As I step onto the bus I ask him what school on campus he's conducting the research with. He replies it's just down the road. I ask him specifically where on campus it is. He quickly says it's with the church of scientology. I immediately burst out laughing thinking he was joking. His look says it all. He was absolutely serious. "Oh, sorry man I thought you were joking" I respond. The bus closes its doors, we exchange an awkward look, and I continue on my journey downtown!

I read Dianetics cover-to-cover when I was 18 years old. It was intriguing at first. I kept reading, thinking I would eventually be introduced to the scientific experiments that led to Hubbard's conclusions, but that never happened. Instead, e-meter techniques were suddenly introduced, out of the blue and with no logically identifiable connection to anything that came before. The book just got weirder and weirder, and never really proved anything, so fortunately for me, I never pursued it further. I've since read "Going Clear" and several other books detailing peoples' actual experiences with Scientology. True eye openers.
So it was like watching the progression of a mad man
@@brokentombot Indeed! I understand Hubbard had dissociative tendencies, so that tracks. His successor seems to be a pure sociopath.

Kevin, maybe you had a misunderstanding. My mother died and I suffered for 3 years. Scientology staff got rid of my grief in 3 hours with the e- meter and Dianetics, which deals with the mind.
Many times Hubbard wrote something that I did not agree with and 3 days later something would happen in my life that showed me that Hubbard was right. He did thousands of experiments and discovered many laws of life and what makes people tick.

I think painting anything as a complete negative is stepping away from truth. Its not an accurate picture. Same thing vice versa. My issue with these things is not about fuzzy feelings. Scandal sells. And I think when you are making it your buisness to bash something chances are to some degree a person is going to distort the truth to sell more.
For sure there are some things that need to be said and exposed and I'm all for that. Im all for looking to see things as they are not as we would like to see them.
I checked out Leah Remini's show. I don't think everything she exposed is bullshit, but seems to me she is an irrelevant actress who found a situation she can milk. Her tears seemed so disingenuous it's, clear she is an actress and not a very good one at that. They play on those fuzzy feelings and the outrage. It's the sensationalism I have issue with. Its not a good trend.
I'm pretty pessimistic actually. Im weary of anyone who says that their prime intention is to save people. Be it cult leaders, politicians, or those that expose such things.
Joe is a truly gifted interviewer.. and also has a lot on his heart to share. Really appreciate his work
Too bad he is a sellout
@@antibull4869 Bruh name a person on this planet who wouldn't sell out if they were offered $100 million dollars.
@@antibull4869 Hardly. His material is still available for people on RUclips. Why are people so F cynical!
I know people who wouldn’t sell out for that much, know and understand even less folks who would EVER sellout. I know I wouldn’t, yet I don’t blame Joe for getting those bags of cash. 100 million is “fuk you” money & he has more than earned every cent of it+he’s actually using it for decent to absolutely AMAZING reasons. Good for him.
Watching this today, in the midst of all the accusations against Rogan’s podcast re: vaccines…this clip is a PERFECT example of what Joe Rogan has to show us about open, curious dialogue. At one point he reflects on his process to becoming more informed of all kinds of ideas in his life. ❤️❤️
I have no problem of joe or anyone asking questions about the vaccine or other treatments. I have a problem with bringing up data and conspiracies that are either an outright lie or literally made for pushing people on a different way for money. That's what bothers me. I don't think Joe did any of that maliciously btw. I think he had people on that he should have vetted alot more then he did

The interesting thing is that spotify thought we'd come along, but watching JRE never happened on porpuse, at least not for me! Now there's just one less channel on my feed 😔
Facts
I instal Spotify and listen two songs and from than just sit there never open again real Jre was live stream that what people was people like to watch
I still watch on spotify not a hassle at all other then no comments. I'm sure he still retained a majority of his viewers.
@@bogoljubdjordjevic7528 you can watch it on spotify
i too do not watch bro jogan porpusefully.
I was visiting LA as a child, probably around 13 or 14 years of age. The tour guide on the bud said “that’s the church of Scientology. If you see anyone handing out pamphlets, run as fast as you can in the other direction”. Blew my mind as a kid, only in recent years do I understand what he meant.
Joe just gave an excellent analysis on Los Angeles. Here in the UK to me the whole Hollywood thing has always sounded really weird. Its created a lust for fame to the point that people are exploited and I can imagine many thousands of lives have been ruined by that desire to be famous.
Exactly!!!
The equivalent of the obsession with celebrities in the US is the monarchy in the UK
@@andromeda8rose it really isn't just look at the UK news about the royals most comments are just taking the piss out of them or asking why we still pay these people taxes, you have nothing to gain from them. Being famous in Hollywood is completely different thing and is not probable but it is possible unlike being king of England lol
@@TheGrimeekid it's not the same, I just meant that it's a close equivalent as far as public obsession. The news on the UK may not venerate them but plenty of citizens do
Now that JRE is on Spotify I almost forgot he existed lol
It's better on spotify because you can download for offline listening for free.

Joe is always so clear headed with his questions.
"If you go fishing one time are you a fisherman?"
And it's not to be rude or trying to strong arm... It's generally just to make the guest question their stand. Admirable.
If you were struck by lightning before you ever even casted your first line, the news would report a fisherman was struck by lightning and died today,
I was about to say the same comment 😂
Right about the belts system in kickboxing. I was stationed in Virginia beach and studied under Craig Smith and he developed a belt system. Also he recognized belts from any discipline to their equivalent in his dojo.
Excellent interview for real
When he asked him if he had ever done martial arts, I legit though he was going to say DMT.
That guy was thinking: “Does Tae Bo count as a martial art?” 😆
Dual methodology taekwondo
@@chrisgould101 Donald's Martial Training is popular amongst the Disney human-animal offspring (like Mickey mouse and goofy). Donald said if you can't afford the lessons you can put it on his bill.
I always wondered as a kid what this Dianetics book was about. The commercial made it look cool as hell.
Just watched this and had to comment. We my friends, big teenagers at the time, early eighties something on night out got invited in to probably the first settlement in my country. Being a little tipsy we absolutely failed doing the test things and then was asked to watch a movie instead, we quickly got bored and smelled bullshit, so we decided to have some fun and trashed the tv and and some furniture. We do 😂 stupid teenage things thing growing up, but this episode I’m actually proud of and we turned out all right. Becoming Airline pilots, business owners. Still friends to this day and none of us are members of Scientology 🎉.
Location?
The "Audition process" you mention for L.A. sounds EXACTLY like trying to move to Australia.
Would be great to hear Lawrence Wright talk about the subject he wrote a book on.
Daily reminder that Joe Rogan didn’t kill himself
Spotify took care of that
Ha, exactly why I'm here.
Or youtube and spotify together
Underrated
Joe doesn't give af he been got paid
The RIP ROGAN memes were trying to warn us all along
again I am astonished how good Joe is at analyzing thought processes of other people.
Glad you did a redesign for your background on the podcast😂😂🥰🔥🔥
Man this just reminds me of how long it’s been since I’ve watched a JRE podcast. I hope he brings shit back to this platform eventually
Probably not for another 3-5 years
...just watch it on Spotify?
Google censors too much. So does RUclips. Creators are going where they can speak freely.
Y’all really act like it’s hard to watch on Spotify or something lol
Why would he do that when spotify gave him 100 million
Celebrities are drawn to Scientology because it caters to their ego.
I know right? Joe tries to paint them as helpless little fawns in need of belonging when in reality most of them are narcissists in some regard.
@@nirmaleva Yeah, I remember when he was interviewing Leah Remini, he kept on asking: there must have been something good about it, something good you took from it. I mean, seriously? It is a cult that draws narcissistic personality type of people with very limited education and offers them moon and stars. It relies on them feeling marvellous about themselves, at least initially, and while the victims dream of fame, the cult is ripping them off.
It is also a club for getting hired in Hollywood
Yup
It makes you feel less guilty about being rich and asking for more money because, a huge portion of that money is spent on Scientology, anyway. And scientologists are here to 'save the world',so it must be good. Just like how Tom completely felt justified, talking crap about brooke shield's post natal depression in the name of Scientology and then still finding the gall to seek her out and apologize....in private. Most creatives are good at their job because they lack something in their 'inner world' Any natural actor will freely admit to that: we crave justification because of an innate feeling of inadequacy. We are expert in pretending that we are adequate. We're just not that ashamed to pretend to be somebody else in order to get what comes so easily to others. It's people like Miscaviage who prey on people with actual talent because most naturally gifted people are terribly insecure. I remember when a scientologist 'friend' dropped her mask when I asked her why she was picking on me in front of others. She was very accomplished. I am not. She has diplomas I don't care about. But she still felt the need to embarass me in front of people who saw something in me. That is what Scientology does: it elavates the inadequate to a level that is dependant on their salary; not the character of their being.
Just watched the doc last night!
“People can have very strong political opinions and it doesn’t affect their actions at all.” On what planet?
I had a relative who spent over $400,000 on being a member of the Church of Scientology in the 1970s/80s
What happened to them?
@@philipwhitcomb5358 He was my grandfather (my family's from New Zealand). He moved to Los Angeles and spent about 5 years living there while involved with the church. Eventually he ended up poor living back in New Zealand, although he was always known as a happy, eccentric person. Generally, people thought of his Scientology involvement as a total tragedy. He had the opportunity to join a class action lawsuit against the church, a movement that was started by other people who'd lost heaps of money to Scientology. But he chose to not join the movement because he believed he'd benefited from Scientology in some way. He died in 2010.
My dad's mate was one and refused treatments as well a a diagnosis for cancer.Lost a hundred pounds and I asked him what was wrong and he said "what do you mean what's wrong"?
I know this sounds weird but this new set makes me feel claustrophobic. It's like they are stuck in an alien waiting room or something.
Space mountain ride line vibe
Yeah- it sucks !!!
Bruh how do u think Alex Jones feels
I wonder if Joe hired Xenu as the interior decorator....
Lol I said the same

I remember getting accosted in the street by these guys, in the 90s, and took their little test. They said I would need extra work. So I was invited to a town 30 miles away to begin this "journey". It involved staying a few nights at their accommodation. It didn't take long to find out that it will cost money. I was poor at the time and decided to go home, without telling them. They rang me up later on asking why I left. After saying I couldn't afford it, they thought I was weird and tried to persuade me to continue. I declined. On hindsight, I'm glad that I dodged that bullet.
No one's gonna tell Joe his skin is the same color as his background?
That's Spotify money
Now I genuinely wonder if he changed his background to cover up the effects of his steroid use.
😂😭😂
jajajajajaja he just came out of the gym!
Testosterone isn’t a steroid... and at his age, he needs it and Drs are the ones giving it to him.
Plus even if it is steroids ( don’t think so, he’s too health conscious) or EPO for endurance, it doesn’t matter, it’s not like he’s fighting in the UFC where it could hurt someone because they’re juiced
It looks like testosterone and a shit ton of work, that’s not a steroid body, it looks natural
Greetings all the real fans who refused to go to some damn spotify how y’all doing I miss y’all
Holla
We are sad I am sad from time he stop live stream
Real fans? No way. Real fans wouldn't bitch and complain about Joe getting a massive deal that set him up for life then refuse to simply download an app to continue watching him. You're not a real fan, you're a child who refuses to accept change.
Miss you too. The comment section here is better than the JRE now. Who knew?
Joe broke it down for real about Hollywood and acceptance hit the nail on the head
It was in mid 70’s I was working as a flight attendant and was in New York on a lay over staying in Statler Hilton hotel and in the street out, there were people selling book on Scientology and I bought one. I had no clue what was it all about. Now years later I read about it and wonder what I did with that book?
I liked how this guy interviewed Joe Rogan
Oh yeah, Rogan still has a podcast. Almost forgot..
You're being unnecessarily difficult about it. It's fucking free mate.
Cap
@@nicolasclermont893 It's not available in my country mate.
@@nicolasclermont893 Cost is not my concern. The interface is shit, I don't want FULL screen or this crap 1/8th window nonsense. What I want is the YT Theatre interface on 1/2 the monitor. The Spotify interface is frustrating, there's no good reason I can't resize this video to the full 1/2 screen, the rest is wasted space. And most of all I miss you salty bastards.
I wish someone would ask Tom Cruise - “Do you think our souls were released from volcanoes with nuclear weapons dropped from 747s around 75 Trillion years ago?”
Put him on the spot
He wouldn't be put on the spot. He would simply answer "yes". Sad really.
What I like about Rogan is, his interviews aren’t just about the guest, he is also interviewing himself. It dawned on me when I said to myself someone should interview Joe!
Can't help but say, I miss JRE on RUclips. Just not the same experience on Spotify.
I agree.
Same
This look like it would've been a good episode. Too bad I'll never have Spotify..
But why
Its free
Instead you'd rather watch ads on RUclips and keep selling your data to Google? Some people choose the weirdest things to take a stance on.
Why?I got spotify it is free?What am I missing?
@@nickagarrie fear of change. Nothing wrong with personal preference. But it is what it is.
All his interviews about it are important one of the only ones out there doing it
Enjoyed it!
I have sighed up for Spotify but the site is a mess. Its extremely difficult to get a video to play.
Hahahahhaha ha our definitions of extreme must differ
You’ll get to hang of it.
Try finding it on your device after downloading...I work in I.T. and it took me ages...horseshit!
Moving this podcast to Spotify was a suicidal move ... it's going to almost disappear within a year ... really sad because it's one the best and with the most interesting guests :-(
It's not going anywhere lol
People thought the same about Howard Stern when he went to Sirius. The show will evolve but I dont think he is going anywhere. I reallllly do wish he would change that horrible studio though. Gawd awful...
@@supaflywhiteguy7635 You don't work in marketing ... obviously ... 23% audience lost because available on Spotify only and 18% audience drastically reduced their time on JRE. 41% reduction vs 16% that were favorable to Spotify. We're still on partial lockdown and Gross Rating Point should be through the roof while it's exactly the opposite. It's about numbers and not POV
yeah, it's joe's planned retirement. we're all upset over it, but hey, the guy got tired of being famous and causing sh*tstorms. he just wants to do podcasting as a hobby now.
To anyone that's depressed out there, I just want you to know that time heals all things. That doesn't help in the moment, but you can look to the future for relief.
I wish theyd post on utube and spotify because i miss so many on spotify terrible notifaction/podcast system
