    I like Chuck a lot. He's loyal to the story, no matter how bad and dark it might get. Most people don't have the courage to do that...

      Joe seemed a little off this episode. Maybe a hangover or he was really intrigued with the stories.

    • @gardensofthegods

      @@MasterMalrubius I think for several reasons he seemed off ... he probably didn't anticipate hearing about a child having to do that with her grandfather ... and then the story gets worse where this child deliberately decides to kill a small bird and she's fully aware of the pain and suffering she's causing ... then it gets worse again ... another twist where we hear the analogy and the whole thing is rather sickening , horrifying .
      Right ? so you hear Joe going OH WOW ... right ? His mind is blown then it's going to get blown again when he hears Chuck saying that it was magnificent ... ?!
      So thats 4 things in a row we don't expect when he first starts talkin about a writing workshop .
      I think hearing the word magnificent was like a lightning bolt hitting Joe because he did not expect to hear that word describing what she had written ... and although many , if not most of us understand what the writer is saying , it still , at first feels like a stab at our sensibilities ... we feel kind of stunned and I think that's why Joe seemed a bit out of sorts ... you might say I'm naive but I do believe most of us still had expected Chuck at first to say " wasn't that horrible ? " ( meaning her experiences as the child , rather than it was MAGNIFICENT it was magnificent , meaning her writing ) .
      so I take what you saw was that Joe Rogan got thrown off balance and was trying to recover

    in 1992 1st grade "creative writing" i wrote a story about a boy alone, abandoned by his parents when the zombies came because they were too preoccupied with saving themselves vs. saving their own children......he had to kill his own sister with a kitchen knife while zombies ate her to keep her from feeling the pain....the boy proceeded to somehow find a machinegun off a dead miliary man and fought his own way through a wave of zombies to get back to his parents to get on the plane with them so he wouldnt be left behind even though he didnt realize emotionally they had abandoned him...........
    i was chastised by my teacher for writing such a vile story not appropriate for school and was instructed to write a story more "appropriate for school"
    I sat at recess punished to rewrite something else or face a fail for the assignment. I ended up writing a bullshit story about a kid feeling good to get out of school and eat milk and cookies when he got home from school......i only can imagine what chuck went through during his adult writing career. True story.

    • @Level_Eleven
      @Level_Eleven Год назад +2

      Not surprising. Instead of actually attempting to analyze or explore why a young boy would write such a story, they dismiss it as vile and inappropriate (maybe for that age but still).
      I was a kid when the Peter Jackson Lord of the Rings movies were releasing (3rd-5th grade) and remember drawing a broken sword for an art class project to symbolize peace as a reference to Isildur’s Shards of Narsil, but was forced to throw it out anyway and make something else. I think they didn’t believe me when I told them that, or they just didn’t care because nO wEaPoNs

    You can tell from Joe’s reaction after Chuck mentioned Guts that he never read or heard that story. He just went right on into the next thing. If he had actually heard or read that story, after Chuck mentioned it he would’ve let out a long sigh at least with a groan and say in that typical Joe fashion “oh my God.“

    This story is the literary equivalent of period blood paintings.

      The people who think the metaphor and symbolism in this story is "profound" have probably not read many truly great works of literature and don't understand true intellectualism. Having a hammer pound you on the head with a sex-based *shocking* analogy -- child (girl) + grandfather + sex + incest + little animal + murder all in one! - is not great thinking it is paint by numbers. Oh the corruption of innocence! lol....This is about an 8th grade level of metaphor.
