You've gone insane! I resisted at first, but now the rhythms of the forest flow through me. On this episode of the Commercial Break... You remember there was a time back in the late 80s, early 90s, when you literally had to take like the Arnold Schwarzenegger physical fitness, presidential physical fitness test. And Arnold would have that, they'd play that little video for you. I'm Arnold Schwarzenegger. Get off your lazy asses. Stop eating so many Donny Nuts Cheerios. Do some push-ups. You're just a lazy baby.

What are Bryan and Krissy's thoughts on Joe Rogan's podcasting style?

Bryan Green 0:35
Here, look at me. I'm doing some steroids. I pass them out to my children. You want to do cocaine and have lots of rough sex? I like you. Thank you. Goodbye. Good night. The next episode of The Commercial Break starts now. Welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Brian Greene, and this is the president of Podcast Matriarchy, Kristen Joy Hoadley. Best to you, Kristen.
Krissy Hoadley 1:02
Best to you, Brian.
Bryan Green 1:03
Best to you out there in the podcast universe, including Joe Rogan, who just re-signed his Spotify agreement. I did see that. Listen. Not always a fan of Joe Rogan's. Right. I do have to say that he's got a very interesting show, wide-ranging topics. He often has experts and scientists and then just people who bloviate and bullshit.

How does the word 'circumstellar' relate to the episode's theme?

Bryan Green 1:25
And so I don't always agree with Joe's choice of lines of thinking or his guests. But you do have to say that he's got a very interesting podcast. He's got 159 million listeners a month.
Krissy Hoadley 1:36
Oh, wow.
Bryan Green 1:37
Which is one million, one hundred, whatever. It's... A lot. One hundred fifty nine million more than we do. Yes, that's right. He is he is undoubtedly the king of podcasting. He is the president of podcasting. He has been for a very long time. No one's it doesn't seem anyone's going to take him down. I think even Conan is like far behind that. Maybe 20, 30 million downloads. I don't know. A month. But he's resigned an agreement with Spotify. But this time the difference is, is that now you'll be able to get Joe anywhere.
Krissy Hoadley 2:09
I saw that, too. Yes.
Bryan Green 2:11
I thought that was a dumb idea in the first place. And so I'm glad that they now have decided just to open it up. The whole point of podcasting is that you can get it. It's like agnostic. It's technology agnostic. You get it from anywhere you want to. And any podcast player that chooses to can pick up your RSS feed and make a buck off you as long as, you know, they air your commercials and all that other good stuff. Right. I'm sure Joe's getting paid a bucket load of money.

Why are we not returning to the moon?

Bryan Green 2:35
According to Spotify themselves, listenership has grown by 20 plus percent. Ad revenue has grown by 45 percent since they brought Joe on to the platform.
Krissy Hoadley 2:45
So like in general or just on on their podcast part or on the podcast?
Bryan Green 2:50
part. They didn't give specifics about Joe's, but it's like SiriusXM and Howard Stern. Howard is leading the charge. It's the reason that SiriusXM even exists is Howard Stern. The reason Spotify's podcasting platform is even discussed is because they managed to wrangle Joe and get him into a contract.
Krissy Hoadley 3:05
I remember seeing him at a stand-up his standup show. Oh, you did years ago. Yeah. Rachel, Rachel and I went to see Joe.
Bryan Green 3:13
And what'd you think?
Krissy Hoadley 3:14
It was funny. Yeah. I mean, at the time I just had remembered him from what, what was the show that he hosted? News radio. Oh no. Fear factor.

What are the latest updates on the Grammys?

Krissy Hoadley 3:23
Fear factor. Yeah. Yeah. So I remembered him from that. And then he got into standup and I thought it was pretty funny.
Bryan Green 3:27
Yeah.
Krissy Hoadley 3:28
I definitely didn't watch the UFC part.
Bryan Green 3:30
That's too little, too bloody for you.
Krissy Hoadley 3:31
Yeah. So we went to go see him and his stand-up show and it was really funny. And then all of a sudden he turned that into a major show.
Bryan Green 3:41
He was just like talking shit like we do for hours on end. And he's on episode number 2,600 and whatever. So, you know, and he does such a long podcast. That's the thing is, I think I'd also have to get high and drunk if I was to do three or four hours with a stranger and just talk shit. But if I was doing the dibbity dabs or smoking a little weed, I think I could get like, I'm not claiming to be as good at this as Joe is. He's got his reps in. He's been doing this for a long time.
