The Rock was the most sanitized, neutered, safe person I've ever heard audio of. Not one real opinion. He was like the breathing version of chatgpt in 10 years.
This reminds me of when Caesar put Marc Antony up to pulling a stupid stunt to test the 'can I be emperor' waters during the Lupercalia Festival. As Marc Antony was walking in the parade down the street in front of Caesar's viewing platform, he broke off from the parade, ran over in front of the platform and then pulled a Diadem (crown) out of his robes. He then 'jokingly' tried to get Caesar to put on the diadem, but Caesar refused, waving Antony off like it was just him being lil sillygoose with this 'haha so silly' offer to put on a fucking CROWN because he just 'loves and respects Caesar so much for being such a great General lol'. But Antony doubles down and climbs up into Caesar's viewing box and tries to hand the crown to him directly -- probably part of their plan so that Caesar could make it look like he was being humble and NOT wanting to be king even when people are offering it to him and people in the crowd had been paid to chant REX REX REX (KING KING KING) at previous events. And everyone goes silent, staring at them, waiting to see if Caesar is for real going to take the crown and officially become King even though he is already functionally a dictator that runs the entire empire, but people just can't believe that he really might LEGITIMATELY name himself as King after his coup. Caesar then reads the audience and realizes this might not go well, and so he plays it off again, but this time in a really theatrical way: "I cannot accept this Antony, there is only one King of Rome, and that is JUPITER OPTIMUS MAXIMUS! Go put the crown on Jupiter's statue!" and then everyone clapped. That's what the Rock is doing lol
@@SergyMilitaryRankings idk, i suggest letting go of your little parasocial relationship with him and pretending you know him lol. Makes things alot clearer when you actually think with common sense.
@@Benji-jj2bg projecting much ? You're obviously very naive if you think some popular Hollywood celebrity would be anything but a puppet for those in power or is it because you think you know him and in your imaginary picture of him he wouldn't let himself become a puppet.

I love the idea of podcasts having normal people as guests rather than celebrities. Theo Von has done this, I just watched an episode where he had a garbage man as a guest and it was surprisingly more interesting than famous guests.
There are a few big channels like that. Soft white underbelly is one. Shawn Ryan (former Navy Seal) is also platforming incredible guests from special forces around the world who are incredible to listen to. Lex Fridman interviews people from all walks of life who excel in their respective fields, largely in tech and has to incredible conversations. It’s becoming a thing
Ever heard of Ronald Reagan? This isn’t new. The elections are simple popularity contests where the winner wins the chance to have their face plastered as the “leader” while the cabinet does whatever it wants 🗿
This man speaks without saying anything, he would be the perfect scummy politician. The man can't even be himself or spontaneous anymore, it all sounds so rehearsed. If he went on Schulz's show they would both be insufferable.
"Used to wrestle for 40 bucks at a flea market" fails to mention his familys intensive wrestling background and connection with the wwe and vince mcmahon
Probably happened 1 time and it was his famous dad paying him when he was like 3 years old and he trots it out like it was his life story on the come up.
1:39 - Yeah, notice that blatant nose grab lol, which usually means they're lying through their teeth when done immediately after making a statement. The entertainment industry loves to push these rags-to-riches stories, as it makes their products (the actors) seem more relatable. In reality, most A-list celebrities were born into the industry.
Because it's stupid if you're not going to do the math and prove that Oprah and The Rock could afford to pay to fix all that shit in Hawaii tbh. I mean, you got mfers giving money to influencers and shit all the time, onlyfans hos, TH-cam mfers, etc. People acting The Rock and Oprah, doing like Garth Brooks did, for example, and asking Americans from around the country to help people their fellow Americans after a natural disaster is, the worst thing ever, is utter horseshit in my opinion. Y'all wanna defend the rich when people call them out on not paying taxes but turn around and act like this, cause they did the same thing that, Kid Rock, or Mike Myers for example, did...
The same way he keeps Elon Musk's public image and the admiration of him like he was some superhero savior of humanity. Elon did so many fucked up things and scammed his way to the top and Joe just keeps the artificial truth on because his community loves Elon or idk. Maybe he believes all the lies Elon spread or maybe it's just a coincidence that he and jamie research some topics to insane depths but cant read something real about Elon which is like 1 click away anywhere.
@@-Trauma.I think people were mad that the Rock and Oprah were spineless cowards against the government response. They weren’t pushing for the federal government to aid Maui, instead it was the people’s obligation.
Thank you! This was the fakest thing ever. They weren’t even listening to each other. Joe: my first car was a yellow 77 camero. Rock: what year Joe: 77 Rock: what color?
With how he handled the Maui incident, I doubt he'd have the spine to do anything except say what's on the teleprompter. Dude is a "people pleaser" through and through.
dude is a walking product at this stage. such a person cannot afford even a moment of honesty. he calculates every word, that's why the heat is artificial.
I just don’t get why everyone is saying “now or at this stage” he’s always been corny as hell. And a terrible actor. I’ve never seen someone’s popularity be less based on talent.
Even though I’m a massive wrestling fan, I just don’t understand how the Rock is the most sought-after actor. Is his fanbase really so massive, or is he just a reliable PR guy like John Cena?
A decent actor when he was playing an exaggerated version o of himself?? There's different kinds of acting, different "levels" of acting, he's never been a "good" actor, he was a good entertainer. And why people act like it's a new thing is strange to me, maybe they're just marks
@HHE448 They didn't talk about a single controversial subject. When they did touch on anything, the Rock would deflect and not give an opinion. Joe's been talking for years about how Rock says he doesn't take steroids, but Joe thinks he does. They didn't touch on that either. You got no sense of Rocks real personality or perspectives on literally anything other than superficial things like "work hard" or "exercise every day". There was no reality to any of it
That is your opinion which is not the general consensus. Many people got a lot from the podcast. Just because topics that you’d like to see discussed aren’t brought up doesn’t mean it was “impressive that they spoke about nothing “.
@reneguillen7656 I'd love for you to enlighten me on anything interesting they discussed or that you learned. There's a reason this huge interview flew under the radar of news headlines and countless youtubers reacting to it. Because nothing was said. It's literally the point of this video as well. The Rock is likely still weighing the idea of running for politics which is why you won't hear him say anything profound or even interesting
It also seemed like a dad and the guy his daughter brings home. Just the dad going off about his usual interests and the boyfriend desperately trying to make a good impression and not rock the boat
@@PSOpwnage It's funny how Tosh knows how to brag/humble brag about being rich without alienating his audience like Tom and Bert. It's because Tosh is an actual comedian and not a Rogan universe spinoff sideshow "comedian". Tosh said he can go against his wife's wishes because she lives in Malibu and doesn't have to work. Tom calls a section of his audience "the poors". See the difference?
He's like the every Disney persona compressed into 1 person. Happy, friendly, outgoing, comfortable to be around and have ZERO strong opinion about any subject other than people buying his movie or tequila.
Because he was going against arena saying Rocky sucks and he was putting his thoughts against everyone when he was no one and health. You loser have no idea that happening because your father wasnt even born back then kid.
That's what all presidents are really......just the face while the underground people who actually run shit continue to run shit. Presidents don't run anything...that's why rappers and influencers makes more then them lol
It was literally the most surface level podcast I've ever seen. Joe barely even let him talk and just went over the same stuff he says all the time "workout, ice baths, greatest MMA artist of all time" I'm surprised he never asked if he'd taken psychadelics.
Joe can talk about fitness, UFOs, Bigfoot & the lost city of Atlantis all in 1 podcast & feel authentic. If he asks The Rock what his opinions are on any of those other topics he would have nothing to say.
Shhhh.. it keeps movie theaters in business in between actual hood movies .. we need the masses to keep feeding on the tentpole franchises so the original movies can still be seen on big screen
“Yeah I was wrestling in flea markets a few years ago, when I was doing Be Cool. Then after 5 matches, because of my families background in the business, I was easily thrown into WWE with Steve Austin & Mankind. Life is rough, praying for Hawaii. MALOCOCOMACA!”
Yea I find his stories hilariously stupid Dude legit stole snickers bars then goes back and gives money to people who probably didn’t even steal from what a guy Paying a store money to the wrong owner years later as if that helps Dudes a hard core liar in everything he did he never stole snicker bars he just tried to look relatable and did it in the stupidest way I too was poor you plebs
No no. He defended him on something else. And then someone pointed out the video and he's like "that's disappointing" or something to that effect. He never tried to cancel him.
I couldn't finish this pod. You can tell the Rock is "always on" now. I don't think any of us get to see the real Dwayne. That makes me very nervous, if he runs for office. All his content is calculated, and people think they know him, but they don't. He's part of the Hollywood machine, and that deserves hesitation and hard questions, IMO.
I guarantee you he booked this podcast well in advance, and right before they had it Dwayne’s team brought in a laundry list of topics not to talk about, and Joe just wanted to get it over with
@@michaelturley3457he turned out to be correct too, who knew? Lol. I mean, half the country, the side that pays attention to both sides media... the other side was screeching that we had to vaccinate pets and babies and we'd all get boosted every month for the rest of our lives
To be fair he has said, an almost annoying amount of times, recently that his concern is with being as positive as possible. I suppose he is doing that but other aspects of the pod will suffer for it.
If anyone doubts that Joe is just grifting for money after the Kanye West interview then nothing will open their eyes. Past Joe: "Kanye is insane. Literally insane". Spotify Joe to Kanye: "You are like a modern genius".
Has nobody seen the movie Idiocracy? I feel like we’re literally starting to live it out. I mean the whole joke in the movie is Terry crews a wrestling stars is voted in as president and that everyone is getting dumber in the human population. Are we seriously heading in the direction with even considering the rock, an ex wrestling star as a possible candidate to run for president…
The Rock struggled to get where is he is, he had reach all the way to his back pocket to get Vince McMahon's phone number to give him a guaranteed job as hugely privileged third generation wrestler who had his path clearly laid out for him. He had to stretch really hard to grab the phone to book his breast removal and dial his steroid dealer back in late 90's to achieve his natural physique. Please people, let's think of how hard he had it to achieve his all natural greatness.
im glad im not crazy for thinking joe rogan has lost a step. other people are seeing it too. his show used to be legitimately interesting. now i feel like im watching a standard late night show but its even worse because its 3 hours long
@@hugazaka5127The fact that we’re really that far down the hole as a country where the rock running for president isn’t something to immediately be scoffed at and taken as a joke is absolutely insane. We already had a con artist reality tv star. He’d basically be the same thing but at least weirdos propping him up as “alpha” would have a leg to stand on 🙄
@@FalconMidget Not at all. What you're experiencing is called *"Trump derangement syndrome."* When you get past all the supposedly "unpresidential" behavior the media drones on about, he wasn't that bad. The fact you think some guy with alzheimers is better than him just shows how biased and delusional you are 🤷♂
I really think Joe deliberately didn’t ask him about that because he no longer trusts the Rock like he did before the Rock threw him under the cancel culture bus around 2 years ago when the n word compilation video came out. I think Joe was suspicious that he wanted to announce that he’s running on the JRE and genuinely wanted no part of it. He probably felt like he would be forced into endorsing him on the spot and didn’t want to be dishonest or rude
What betrayal?? What loyalty do these guys owe eachother?? They are both two faced businessmen who have talked and walked back on a bunch of shit and neither can be taken seriously, the Rock comes from the WWF ffs, it may have been "edgy" but it was far far far from ever being "authentic" . A lot of Marks out there from the old attitude era days who never really grew up/ gained critical thinking skilled
Since when does Joe Rogan ask tough questions or pretend to be an interviewer as a profession? Some of his Podcasts are literally just having a good time, smoking weed, talking about conspiracy theories. The moment he doesn't ask tough hitting questions, Joe is called a sell out, he has also said before he doesn't want confrontation with guests, which is why he won't have on certain guests.
im glad someone else realized this. he seemed like he was acting this whole time. very ingenuine until they talked about his wrestling career. everything else felt like an npc dialogue.
Watch the rock in Central intelligence. The dude he plays in that movie is his whole life. Once you see it you can't unsee it. The sarcasm he has in that movie while also telling insane lies is crazy accurate.
Mate that’s so weird you said that because I was just looking at pics of him and I’ve garnered the impression that he was a guy who people used to mock in school, and then gets recruited by the CIA because of his genetics to make the ultimate movie star that they can somehow turn into the president of the United States. All stems
This podcast seems to prove that every single aspect in life is meticulously curated and scripted…even down to the fact that he likely purposefully complemented Joe to the extent of him not wanting to be hurt the guys feelings lol (and no doubt far too clever a tactic for the rock to come up with on his own lol)
I’d disagree with that last part. The rock didn’t go from being a broke failed football player to one of the most famous people on earth among all the other things he’s accomplished on accident and without intelligence and wit.
They probably had an agreement that they wouldn't discuss the subject if Johnson was gonna come on the show, and Rogan couldn't resist the viewers he knew he'd get. They're both really phoney- Rogan markedly less so, but still.
@@WhoopiCushion I think your overestimating a lot of people. A lot of people that just don’t talk politics or are openly on one side just pick the “reasonable” option, usually someone not extreme with a likeable personality
He always tells the same wrestling story about his first match, which we've heard 100 times already. I want to hear more about his run during the peak of the Attitude Era
@@Oxygen97Yeah, I want to hear everything about how Mankind won the championship from the corporation and the rehearsal process for everything; how it felt in the moment to have the crowd explode for Stone Cold’s entrance, etc.
The Rock going on these shows to talk about how "political parties wanted him to run for president reminds me of the time when Caesar schemed with Marc Antony to do a little 'skit' together during the Lupercalia Festival in front of the whole city. As Marc Antony was walking in the parade down the street in front of Caesar's viewing platform, he broke off from the parade, ran over near Caesar and then pulled a crown out of his pocket. He then 'funnily' tried to get Caesar to put on the crown, but Caesar refused it, waving Antony off like it was just Antony being silly with this excessive show because he just 'loves and respects Caesar so much for being such a great General lol'. So instead, Antony climbs and then vaults himself up into Caesar's viewing box and tries to hand the crown to him directly, and everyone goes silent, staring at them, waiting to see if Caesar is for real going to take the crown and become King. Caesar then reads the audience and realizes this is actually not gonna go well, and so he plays it off again, but this time in a really theatrical way: "I cannot accept this Antony, there is only one King of Rome, and that is JUPITER OPTIMUS MAXIMUS! Go put the crown on Jupiter's statue!" and then everyone clapped. That's what the Rock is doing lol
Same with joe rogan - the more money he has now the more afraid he is to ask tough questions and lose it all.. he’s now just playing the character of joe rogan and is no longer ‘that guy’ who can ask those tough questions.. shame very few people notice or care enough about the difference
@@gmarie3053I think after the spotify deal. Or when JRE became popular; it is all about money to them. THESE PEPPLE WILL LITERALLY VISIT YOU IN YOUR DOORSTEP AND ASK YOU "do you wanna sacrifice _family member" to get so and so?" There is no morals or ethics here.
I think it's funny how Kamala said from "Fast and Furious to Jumanji" like she doesn't know who he is and just saw him on recent movie ads. Tbh the last thing that comes to mind for The Rock is Fast and Furious OR Jumanji. I wonder if she actually knew who he was cause she also called him 'DJ' which is something I've never heard anything mention him. I get his name is Dwayne Johnson but never have I heard him be called DJ 😂
It’s actually hilarious watching all of this unfold. The whole point of podcasts was/is to have a more informal approach and conversation than you would see on some mainstream corporate TV, so the guests can be more relaxed and we can actually get to know them a little bit and hear some actual opinions and conversations that aren’t preapproved by their agents/PR consultants. But the Rogan’s podcast is so popular that he has basically become new mainstream and guys like this are afraid of saying something wrong there as they would be on any national TV network. It’s a shame because Rogan is so big he could simply straight up refuse to have guests like this where they’re dancing around everything for hours pretending nothing ever happened and no one ever said anything even remotely interesting/controversial, but maybe Rogan wanted us to see how lame and fake these big celebrities are and how they’re unable to publicly share their opinion about basically anything. But, honestly, I’d rather live a thousand years working average job having average life than have millions being some corporate PR politically correct talking box walking on eggshells scared shitless all the time like the rock, it is so pathetic
Seeing that side by side near-exact comparison of JRE and Jimmy Fallon’s show made me actually lol, after years of Rogan praising the superiority of his podcast to the late night talk format and how they’re taking over that medium 😂
Have you guys never seen a celebrity do a press run before? They come on the show with a purpose 100% of the time, usually have planned things to talk about, etc. They aren’t talk show hosts or podcasters, so they usually have a few stories to tell or talking points to hit so that the interview is effective.
I’m confused, are you saying anyone in their 20s who earns $100K has something wrong with them? You sound like you have deep financial insecurities and you’re triggered when other people make money.
@@TheMissingFiles2025 where are you getting “gift” from? Rogan was hosting Fear Factor, commentating UFC, and acting on News Radio when he was 25. I’d say that money was earned, not gifted.
The Rock gave me the clothes off his back, nursed me, and bathed me everyday until I was able to walk on my own. He believed in me when nobody else did. He did more for me than any parent ever will. I will forever be indebted to this incredible man.
Holy shit.. same here bro! He was actually there to help deliver me too, the doctor had an emergency phone call and tagged him in. I still have the hand print on my thigh/ass cheek!!
It's was so bad. Joe said actors have a weird way of communication. An inauthentic way. Because they are always audition and make up a personality that is generally like to all people. And it totally felt like a generic conversation with no meaning.
@@alexmartin3143Do you smell what the rock is cooking? Well actually it's just an insane amount of people cooking "rock" to sell, in order to feed themselves. Rock for president.
I think Joe's new comedy club is also a reason JRE has become more soft. A lot of comedians are moving to Austin to use it as a homebase. Entire shows depend on it to be a reliable venue to film their content. And most of these people are close friends of Joe's. So I think he's scared of getting cancelled to the point no one goes to his club anymore, which would end up hurting the people who rely on it.
Thank you so much for this, I hear you 100%. I wasn’t aware of this prior to reading your comment but now I’ve become educated to the complete comedy club narrative. Mahalo my brother and have a big & beautiful weekend. -DJ
I gotta say, I never had a well formed opinion on The Rock nor do I have a one now. But as soon as I read the title of this video and saw the thumbnail I said to myself "well, of course"
Bro Dwayne Johnson’s entire personality is this PR persona. I wonder if it’s not an act anymore and that’s just what he’s fully embraced becoming, a PR man keeping his brand name clean and PG
I didn’t expect Joe to call him out on anything but I did expect Joe to ask him questions and dig a little into the rocks life which didn’t happen at all. There were times when the rock would ask Joe a question and then (after Joe’s answer) he would give his own answer. He was interviewing himself. I know Joe doesn’t like “interviewing” and just wants a conversation, but Joe good conversationalists ask questions, they don’t just talk about themselves. Joe should know his audience has heard his thoughts on all of this a million times. You have a big guest on, don’t let that guest make the interview about you. Just a bad podcast.
Don’t think people understand that The Rock HAS TO be this way. The Rock is a walking talking advertisement at this point. For a bunch of businesses. Under Armour, Teremana, he’s on the board of UFC and WWE, ZOA energy, Papatui skincare, etc. There are a lot of businesses that count on him to be as close to perfect as possible. He’s under the microscope 24/7. He says one wrong thing, he risks losing everything
@@blaise6981 Trump equals lower taxes for billionaires and corporations and a non-stop 24/7 daily series of scandals, and you're insane if you think he wasn't being told what to do.
I mean the rock at this point was a just a character. It’s a business pretty much and he’s been very successful doing it. Obviously he’s going to toe the line he’s gong to keep doing what’s been working. Anyone who expected more from a podcast with the rock shouldnt be surprised
It's fairly obvious the rock is just trying to avoid answering anything too in depth cause he's terrified of alienating any part of his fanbase so he kept the questions focused more on Joe than on his own opinions
My statement on this podcast was everyone's breakdowns have been vastly more entertaining than the podcast itself. Joe simped in an obvious way. And "DJ" seems to be so very skilled at talking endlessly about absolutely nothing. I don't expect Joe to push guests and make them uncomfortable, but this was such an obvious late night talk show interview, but in long format. It was what I thought it was going to be, but made it through hoping there would be one nugget of something. Alas, I was left wanting.... Mostly my time back, but I digress.
People somehow expect celebrities to follow some sort of moral code depicted by someone and get pissed when they don't. That's what happens when you treat them like gods instead of like the people they are. People want celebrities to say what they're already thinking, not someone with thoughts of their own that challenge people.
100% but at the same time if I'm being honest I have enjoyed and probably preferred if the whole podcast was mostly about the Rock's wrestling career, like the Ric Flair or Undertaker episodes
To me as a non American it’s crazy to me that being popular gives you a decent chance of being a politician and even one of the most influential politician in the world
Not sure why you’d assume that this is an American thing, lol. You have to be “popular” in some way to rise as a leader. That’s called humanity lol. Are you just trolling?
I will be honest because growing up being a avid fan of wrestling mostly wwf/wwe. and the rock being one of my favorites if not most favorite, I didn't really realize how fake he acts till recently. Even though deep down I thought something was off and when people like him in Hollywood or any celebrity musician or athlete has a persona like him they usually show they're fake and phony and you see their true colors. The last few years you definitely see it with the rock, the dc and fast and furious movies drama show that. And now him having to crawl back to wrestling and doing what he is doing for the spotlight proves that he doesn't care about anyone else outside his self and family. He gets by using his Charisma and sense of humor and nice smile to sucker people in and come off as Likable and have you distracted and ignore how entitled and selfish and only cares about his own self intrest. We seen that with too many Hollywood stars and celebrities and famous people even before him and we keep letting them get away with it because they entertain us. But is it worth it when their influence has so much power and pull that affects people foolishly? People like that have so much already why do they feel the need for more more more even by taking away from others with less. Smh.
Please do one about fake tough guy Jon Bernthal, he acts like he's from the streets and all tough on podcasts while his parents paid for a personal translator when he studied in a Russian ballet academy
There where moments you could tell Rogan wasn't buying what Dwayne was saying. I really think they had some type of awkward meeting before the podcast... and Joe was just like fuck it, I'll do it for the fans. 😂
Looking back, it seems everyone was falling over themselves to eventually set up Kamala for the big chair only to learn she was the biggest idiot cringe factory of a candidate ever.
Everybody was saying that, they just ignored the statement because Kamala checked all the right racial and political boxes just so happens she has an awful nervous laugh anytime she talks and she's just more unlikeable the Hillary Clinton somehow. She's a black Hillary Clinton with less charisma lmfao
@@motorcycleboy9000 I’m sure they do lol unfortunately though as Biden has shown your own constituents can have only bad to say about you and you can fail upward to the presidency 😂
I think the party loved her cause she would tick so many boxes as a president first etc etc etc but then Tulsi showed the nation what Californians already knew and butchered any hope of a presidential election win for Kamala

Why is Joe Faken still a credible person to many of you? This man has been bought and paid for atleast half a decade.
The fact that some random celebrity probably actually has a fairly good chance to be president is extremely embarrassing for the country.

This man speaks without saying anything, he would be the perfect scummy politician. The man can't even be himself or spontaneous anymore, it all sounds so rehearsed. If he went on Schulz's show they would both be insufferable.
Schultz and his buddy would be rubbing up on him even more than usual
@@supermegaguy666they will be giggling like school girls in front of the rock
Joe has been on Shultz podcast, it was as terrible as you imagined
What do you expect? He's an actor. Most of what we have heard him say for the last 25 years has been rehearsed.
That'd be the most circular conversation ever
"Used to wrestle for 40 bucks at a flea market" fails to mention his familys intensive wrestling background and connection with the wwe and vince mcmahon
He's the definition of "born on third base, thinks he hit a triple".
Probably happened 1 time and it was his famous dad paying him when he was like 3 years old and he trots it out like it was his life story on the come up.
1:39 - Yeah, notice that blatant nose grab lol, which usually means they're lying through their teeth when done immediately after making a statement. The entertainment industry loves to push these rags-to-riches stories, as it makes their products (the actors) seem more relatable. In reality, most A-list celebrities were born into the industry.
He absolutely mentions it all the time

So happy you said it. How could he not talk about the rock and Oprah getting called out.
Because it's stupid if you're not going to do the math and prove that Oprah and The Rock could afford to pay to fix all that shit in Hawaii tbh. I mean, you got mfers giving money to influencers and shit all the time, onlyfans hos, TH-cam mfers, etc. People acting The Rock and Oprah, doing like Garth Brooks did, for example, and asking Americans from around the country to help people their fellow Americans after a natural disaster is, the worst thing ever, is utter horseshit in my opinion.

The same way he keeps Elon Musk's public image and the admiration of him like he was some superhero savior of humanity.

Maybe he believes all the lies Elon spread or maybe it's just a coincidence that he and jamie research some topics to insane depths but cant read something real about Elon which is like 1 click away anywhere.

dude is a walking product at this stage. such a person cannot afford even a moment of honesty. he calculates every word, that's why the heat is artificial.
I just don’t get why everyone is saying “now or at this stage” he’s always been corny as hell. And a terrible actor. I’ve never seen someone’s popularity be less based on talent.
Even though I’m a massive wrestling fan, I just don’t understand how the Rock is the most sought-after actor. Is his fanbase really so massive, or is he just a reliable PR guy like John Cena?
@@michaelturley3457Dude was actually a decent actor during his WWF run, idk what happened.
A decent actor when he was playing an exaggerated version o of himself?? There's different kinds of acting, different "levels" of acting, he's never been a "good" actor, he was a good entertainer. And why people act like it's a new thing is strange to me, maybe they're just marks
This is the perfect title. How they managed to spend 2 hours together and say absolutely nothing is impressive
It’s a podcast. Did you expect them to solve world hunger and poverty while talking for 2 hours? Did you expect them to uncover government secrets?
@HHE448 They didn't talk about a single controversial subject. When they did touch on anything, the Rock would deflect and not give an opinion. Joe's been talking for years about how Rock says he doesn't take steroids, but Joe thinks he does. They didn't touch on that either. You got no sense of Rocks real personality or perspectives on literally anything other than superficial things like "work hard" or "exercise every day". There was no reality to any of it
Yet the comments from kids on rogans Channel is through the roof. Kids just thinks he is cool and all that
That is your opinion which is not the general consensus. Many people got a lot from the podcast. Just because topics that you’d like to see discussed aren’t brought up doesn’t mean it was “impressive that they spoke about nothing “.
@reneguillen7656 I'd love for you to enlighten me on anything interesting they discussed or that you learned. There's a reason this huge interview flew under the radar of news headlines and countless youtubers reacting to it. Because nothing was said. It's literally the point of this video as well. The Rock is likely still weighing the idea of running for politics which is why you won't hear him say anything profound or even interesting
This was like an awkward couple on thanksgiving dinner trying to desperately have a normal conversation in order to look normal for the rest

He probably asked Joe not to talk about it beforehand.
Joe can talk about fitness, UFOs, Bigfoot & the lost city of Atlantis all in 1 podcast & feel authentic. If he asks The Rock what his opinions are on any of those other topics he would have nothing to say.

All his content is calculated, and people think they know him, but they don't. He's part of the Hollywood machine, and that deserves hesitation and hard questions, IMO.

I always know when the interview is going sideways once the guest starts interviewing Joe because they have nothing to offer.
The Rock struggled to get where is he is, he had reach all the way to his back pocket to get Vince McMahon's phone number to give him a guaranteed job as hugely privileged third generation wrestler who had his path clearly laid out for him. He had to stretch really hard to grab the phone to book his breast removal and dial his steroid dealer back in late 90's to achieve his natural physique. Please people, let's think of how hard he had it to achieve his all natural greatness.

The Rock going on these shows to talk about how "political parties wanted him to run for president reminds me of the time when Caesar schemed with Marc Antony to do a little 'skit' together during the Lupercalia Festival in front of the whole city. As Marc Antony was walking in the parade down the street in front of Caesar's viewing platform, he broke off from the parade, ran over near Caesar and then pulled a crown out of his pocket. He then 'funnily' tried to get Caesar to put on the crown, but Caesar refused it, waving Antony off like it was just Antony being silly with this excessive show because he just 'loves and respects Caesar so much for being such a great General lol'.
So instead, Antony climbs and then vaults himself up into Caesar's viewing box and tries to hand the crown to him directly, and everyone goes silent, staring at them, waiting to see if Caesar is for real going to take the crown and become King. Caesar then reads the audience and realizes this is actually not gonna go well, and so he plays it off again, but this time in a really theatrical way: "I cannot accept this Antony, there is only one King of Rome, and that is JUPITER OPTIMUS MAXIMUS! Go put the crown on Jupiter's statue!" and then everyone clapped.

It’s actually hilarious watching all of this unfold. The whole point of podcasts was/is to have a more informal approach and conversation than you would see on some mainstream corporate TV, so the guests can be more relaxed and we can actually get to know them a little bit and hear some actual opinions and conversations that aren’t preapproved by their agents/PR consultants. But the Rogan’s podcast is so popular that he has basically become new mainstream and guys like this are afraid of saying something wrong there as they would be on any national TV network. It’s a shame because Rogan is so big he could simply straight up refuse to have guests like this where they’re dancing around everything for hours pretending nothing ever happened and no one ever said anything even remotely interesting/controversial, but maybe Rogan wanted us to see how lame and fake these big celebrities are and how they’re unable to publicly share their opinion about basically anything. But, honestly, I’d rather live a thousand years working average job having average life than have millions being some corporate PR politically correct talking box walking on eggshells scared shitless all the time like the rock, it is so pathetic
Seeing that side by side near-exact comparison of JRE and Jimmy Fallon’s show made me actually lol, after years of Rogan praising the superiority of his podcast to the late night talk format and how they’re taking over that medium 😂
Have you guys never seen a celebrity do a press run before? They come on the show with a purpose 100% of the time, usually have planned things to talk about, etc.
They aren’t talk show hosts or podcasters, so they usually have a few stories to tell or talking points to hit so that the interview is effective.
Getting 100k at 25 tells you everything you need to know, he's been a Hollywood insider for a very long.
I’m confused, are you saying anyone in their 20s who earns $100K has something wrong with them? You sound like you have deep financial insecurities and you’re triggered when other people make money.
@@l-train7876 no not at all most people don't get gifted 100k at 25 years old by Hollywood is my point especially in 1980s money.
@@l-train7876 of course from a channel with zero videos and zero content.
@@TheMissingFiles2025 where are you getting “gift” from? Rogan was hosting Fear Factor, commentating UFC, and acting on News Radio when he was 25. I’d say that money was earned, not gifted.
@@l-train7876 no he wasn't, he was at youngest 30/31. Nevertheless the age isn't the sole quality you should be focusing on.
The Rock gave me the clothes off his back, nursed me, and bathed me everyday until I was able to walk on my own. He believed in me when nobody else did. He did more for me than any parent ever will. I will forever be indebted to this incredible man.
My farts are better than 2lazys farts
What a gay, Reddit tier comment, so Le Funny XDDDD
The rock carried me in his artificial womb. He's quite the lady.
Moving
Holy shit.. same here bro! He was actually there to help deliver me too, the doctor had an emergency phone call and tagged him in. I still have the hand print on my thigh/ass cheek!!
It's was so bad.
Joe said actors have a weird way of communication. An inauthentic way. Because they are always audition and make up a personality that is generally like to all people.
And it totally felt like a generic conversation with no meaning.
If the Rock becomes the president, we would have officially entered Idiocracy (Camacho).
He’s gonna put the smack down on the economy and Rock bottom Putin through a table…
@@alexmartin3143Do you smell what the rock is cooking?
Well actually it's just an insane amount of people cooking "rock" to sell, in order to feed themselves.
Rock for president.
Tosh had a great first episode, refreshing and entertaining. I hope he can catch his stride and enjoy the new platform he's doing.
Tosh is the man. I didn't know he started a show. I'll definitely be checking that out. Dude cracks me tf up 🤣
I think Joe's new comedy club is also a reason JRE has become more soft. A lot of comedians are moving to Austin to use it as a homebase. Entire shows depend on it to be a reliable venue to film their content. And most of these people are close friends of Joe's. So I think he's scared of getting cancelled to the point no one goes to his club anymore, which would end up hurting the people who rely on it.
Thank you so much for this, I hear you 100%. I wasn’t aware of this prior to reading your comment but now I’ve become educated to the complete comedy club narrative. Mahalo my brother and have a big & beautiful weekend.

If I had a choice to vote between The Rock and a literal rock I'd vote for the latter.
I gotta say, I never had a well formed opinion on The Rock nor do I have a one now. But as soon as I read the title of this video and saw the thumbnail I said to myself "well, of course"
Bro Dwayne Johnson’s entire personality is this PR persona. I wonder if it’s not an act anymore and that’s just what he’s fully embraced becoming, a PR man keeping his brand name clean and PG
This is the jump the shark moment for JRE on Spotify
Yeah Joe has lost his hunger. He's just cashing checks now
That was the Kanye West episode
Lol, Joe sold out before the Spotify deal.
For me it was the episode with Jack and Vajia
@@PurposePlasticsbut at least he did a 2nd interview with someone else who was more knowledgeable on what to call them out about
I didn’t expect Joe to call him out on anything but I did expect Joe to ask him questions and dig a little into the rocks life which didn’t happen at all. There were times when the rock would ask Joe a question and then (after Joe’s answer) he would give his own answer. He was interviewing himself. I know Joe doesn’t like “interviewing” and just wants a conversation, but Joe good conversationalists ask questions, they don’t just talk about themselves. Joe should know his audience has heard his thoughts on all of this a million times. You have a big guest on, don’t let that guest make the interview about you. Just a bad podcast.
Don’t think people understand that The Rock HAS TO be this way. The Rock is a walking talking advertisement at this point. For a bunch of businesses. Under Armour, Teremana, he’s on the board of UFC and WWE, ZOA energy, Papatui skincare, etc. There are a lot of businesses that count on him to be as close to perfect as possible. He’s under the microscope 24/7. He says one wrong thing, he risks losing everything
The best part was when Joe subtly called out the Rock on his Biden support and he couldn’t defend it 😭
The choice is between Trump and a dead man it’s a lose lose situation

@@blaise6981Trump is making his own decisions? Like deny the election if he loses? Steal classified documents? Nuke a hurricane?
This made me realize that Rogan is essentially just a mildly edgy version of late night TV for millennials
He alway gave me creep vibes
I mean the rock at this point was a just a character. It’s a business pretty much and he’s been very successful doing it. Obviously he’s going to toe the line he’s gong to keep doing what’s been working. Anyone who expected more from a podcast with the rock shouldnt be surprised
It's fairly obvious the rock is just trying to avoid answering anything too in depth cause he's terrified of alienating any part of his fanbase so he kept the questions focused more on Joe than on his own opinions
My statement on this podcast was everyone's breakdowns have been vastly more entertaining than the podcast itself. Joe simped in an obvious way. And "DJ" seems to be so very skilled at talking endlessly about absolutely nothing. I don't expect Joe to push guests and make them uncomfortable, but this was such an obvious late night talk show interview, but in long format. It was what I thought it was going to be, but made it through hoping there would be one nugget of something. Alas, I was left wanting.... Mostly my time back, but I digress.
People somehow expect celebrities to follow some sort of moral code depicted by someone and get pissed when they don't. That's what happens when you treat them like gods instead of like the people they are. People want celebrities to say what they're already thinking, not someone with thoughts of their own that challenge people.
Yeah I definitely believe The Rock had a list of things to not be mentioned
Roids, being a Democrat shill, asking for $$$, Black Adam bombing.
100% but at the same time if I'm being honest I have enjoyed and probably preferred if the whole podcast was mostly about the Rock's wrestling career, like the Ric Flair or Undertaker episodes
Dude said he was gonna fight Fedor in Pride. In 1997.
Yup, fresh out of his deployoment in 'Nam
He would have got bent over
Fedor wasn’t even in pride yet and the rock had already turned heel and started to take off in wwf that story was some bs
To me as a non American it’s crazy to me that being popular gives you a decent chance of being a politician and even one of the most influential politician in the world
Not sure why you’d assume that this is an American thing, lol. You have to be “popular” in some way to rise as a leader. That’s called humanity lol. Are you just trolling?
That's the case in most countries, celebrity politicians are common
It’s far from an American thing, Ukraine is an easy example
@@willpomeroy7711 being a popular politician is far different as being a random celebrity with popularity
@@poppatang4216 hmm let’s dive into the rabbit hole of who was backing up Zelenskys run for presidency
I will be honest because growing up being a avid fan of wrestling mostly wwf/wwe. and the rock being one of my favorites if not most favorite, I didn't really realize how fake he acts till recently. Even though deep down I thought something was off and when people like him in Hollywood or any celebrity musician or athlete has a persona like him they usually show they're fake and phony and you see their true colors. The last few years you definitely see it with the rock, the dc and fast and furious movies drama show that. And now him having to crawl back to wrestling and doing what he is doing for the spotlight proves that he doesn't care about anyone else outside his self and family. He gets by using his Charisma and sense of humor and nice smile to sucker people in and come off as Likable and have you distracted and ignore how entitled and selfish and only cares about his own self intrest. We seen that with too many Hollywood stars and celebrities and famous people even before him and we keep letting them get away with it because they entertain us. But is it worth it when their influence has so much power and pull that affects people foolishly? People like that have so much already why do they feel the need for more more more even by taking away from others with less. Smh.
Please do one about fake tough guy Jon Bernthal, he acts like he's from the streets and all tough on podcasts while his parents paid for a personal translator when he studied in a Russian ballet academy
So he’s not tough because he studied ballet?
@@l-train7876 You're not some street punk if you parents can afford to hire a personal translator for you.
Also, yes. Ballet is for nancys.
@@GeoffreyBronson you know NFL players cross train in ballet right?
@@l-train7876 also, you sound mad almost like you're a ballet dancer LOL
@@GeoffreyBronson well I’m a chick and I did do ballet when I was like 6, you got me.
The way he acted in this interview makes me believe he would be a horrible choice for president. Seems like he would be easily coerced
1:14 the typa guy to laugh before the punchline 😭😭
There where moments you could tell Rogan wasn't buying what Dwayne was saying. I really think they had some type of awkward meeting before the podcast... and Joe was just like fuck it, I'll do it for the fans. 😂
Money
Looking back, it seems everyone was falling over themselves to eventually set up Kamala for the big chair only to learn she was the biggest idiot cringe factory of a candidate ever.
Everybody was saying that, they just ignored the statement because Kamala checked all the right racial and political boxes just so happens she has an awful nervous laugh anytime she talks and she's just more unlikeable the Hillary Clinton somehow. She's a black Hillary Clinton with less charisma lmfao
Californians knew. ☹️
@@motorcycleboy9000 I’m sure they do lol unfortunately though as Biden has shown your own constituents can have only bad to say about you and you can fail upward to the presidency 😂
I think the party loved her cause she would tick so many boxes as a president first etc etc etc but then Tulsi showed the nation what Californians already knew and butchered any hope of a presidential election win for Kamala
idiot is being nice. lol
Yo man this a very well made video, but I’m falling asleep to your cadence and tone 😂 love though fr I just stayed up too late
Dwayne Johnson is the human equivalent of media training
When Joe Rogan and The Rock started speaking about Gaza, all I wanted to know was *"where is Ja Rule?"*
He's not even The Rock, he's Dwayne Johnson the Corporate Champ and the People's Sellout
We got the bad ending guys, Idiocracy was a warning
