Malcolm Gladwell's Mind-Blowing Theory About Crime Shows

Joe acting like he doesn't know any comedians he finds unfunny is the funniest joke he's ever told

Anytime I hear someone mention the ending of No Country For Old Men, it brings me back to seeing it in theaters and my quadriplegic uncle yelling “what the fuck” in a room full of silent people as soon as the credits rolled

There actually have been Law and Order episodes where the bad guys get away with it. I remember one particularly, where a wife framed her husband for murder. The husband came to that realization in the closing minutes of the episode and nobody, including the protagonists, believed him. The final shot was of the wife smiling evilly as he was found guilty.

So basically Joe Rogan's least favorite comic is "Carlos Mencia".

“So who’s humor just doesn’t do it for you?” Joe: Idk Also Joe: Tries hard to not say Amy Schumer

My high school English teacher told us that Star Wars was a Western, and I’ve never looked at movies the same way since. This is a great working theory.

Props to Joe for "biting his tongue" and keeping the peace. No need to dog anyone out 👍👍

This CD has three separate relaxation/meditation sessions on it youtube.com/post/Ugkxzpa8CIfZcihW4Z0F_ja0QF3W9KIat… guided by a very pleasant and direct male voice. Unlike so many other products of its type, this CD does not have bad synthesizer music, does not feature a phony or affected style of narration, and does not make any bogus claims to be subliminal or to re-train the brain or any of that balderdash. What you get is 1. a guided meditation for getting into a pleasantly relaxed state of body awareness while taking a stroll (superb for those easing back into a fitness routine slowly after an illness or injury) 2. A nice long breath-awareness relaxation session that if followed diligently can put you into very deep states of full-body relaxation and mental calmness, and 3. a buddhist-inspired meditation session designed to help you develop and maintain feelings of loving kindness toward not just yourself and your friends, but toward people you don't even like. The CD makes no claims to be designed for advanced meditators or for buddhists or hindus/yoga practitioners looking for very deep and esoteric stuff. It is geared more toward the average person who just wants to develop the habit of relaxation and stress relief through natural, healthy means. him, if you happen to be reading this, keep up the good work fella, and I love your accent. I would also like to note that I have never fallen asleep while listening to this product. I would like to kindly suggest to the reviewer who said this CD makes him fall asleep, that he might want to get checked to see if he has a sleep disorder, or if he is simply not setting aside ample time for restful sleep at night. A healthy person getting adequate rest at night should be able to go into deep states of mental relaxation without dozing off, if not all the time, then most of the time.

Joe "I used to be stupid but now I'm old" Rogan

Joe “Don’t say Amy Schumer” Rogan

I don't know how I came to recently discover Joe Rogan but I have been capitvated by his interviews which are more like conversations. He is a great listener and that is why he is so successful. Watching this, because I am such a huge Malcolm Gladwell fan, just solidifies my opinion of both. Way to go Joe!

As a man I used to watch the older law and orders always enjoyed the show. Don’t like the new law and order but grew up watching it.

Brilliant analysis: * Western = no law and order - vigilante justice - Jack Reacher * Eastern = is law & order but with bad cops gets reformed from within - Serpico * Southern = system is corrupt - reformer is an outsider - John Grisham * Northern = law & order system works - Sherlock Holmes - Law & Order

The thing that is "mind blowing" about crime shows is that they exist to create a good public perception of prosecutors and police.

Sidenote: i can remember the episode name or season for anything, but there was a later season, where one of the prosecutors was caught exchanging child prn. He was one of the regular prosecutors too. It was crazy.

I like cozy mysteries. The reason I like them is because it's about human nature and solving a puzzle and it's something that's not stressful you can watch during the week. It's like knitting, it doesn't stir up stress and actually is relaxing. Now I'm not sitting there riveted by cozy mysteries unless it's a particularly well written one. I save really good shows or movies for the weekend or when I'm more up for it.

Those headphones look like they're about to squash Malcolm's head like a watermelon with rubber bands.

That is a long way to go for Joe to say Brendan sucks at stand up.

Great theory on Reacher being a modern day Western. Love the books and the 1st series did a great job of bringing a fine debut novel to life.

I gotta comment on Joes first conversation point about getting good at not caring about things he doesn't like. That was actually therapeutic listening to, right now for me. Currently living with some major depression and before that I was a bitter and angry individual so maybe theres some hope for me there
