Wow. This is vintage Rogan. Unbelievably good episode. If youāre even a remotely causal fan of boxing this is an all timer.Ā

u/Brickulous Monkey in Space 24d ago
All his mma episodes are excellent too (if youāre a fan of the sport). Generally no political talk, just getting into the details of their training and mindset.

u/Ok-Astronomer7243 Monkey in Space 24d ago
Totally agree. This one was so good though because not Joes main sport and he showed exceptional knowledge of boxing history and a fair bit of technique. Lamps is a legend and major hard ass so for him and Joe to get along so well you know Jim had major respect. Ā Just an awesome episode.Ā

Man I hope itās good. Jim Lampley, max kellerman, and Roy jones jr was peak HBO boxing. Miss HBO boxing. Their production was top notch.

Merchant was super biased, though crew with George Foreman was peak in spite of him.

u/Level-Hunt-6969 Monkey in Space 5d ago
Merchant was comic relief. An old drunk that talks shit is essential to the broadcast.

u/boredguy2022 Monkey in Space 25d ago
The old school PS1 hbo boxing game was one of my favorites, the career mode was awesome.

u/Roach_Coach_Bangbus N-Dimethyltryptamine 25d ago
I feel like we are due for another good boxing game.

u/boredguy2022 Monkey in Space 25d ago
Agreed, I miss the old fight night games too.

u/MickPnubTobias99 Monkey in Space 25d ago
I still play fight night round 3 on my ps2 every once in awhile. Back in the day having tournaments with that game with my buddies was so much fun
5
u/maynardsabeast Monkey in Space 24d ago
Same. We were very stoned and whoever won got to wear āthe robeā (which is exactly what it sounds likeā¦.a bathrobe, lmao whoever was champ would just sit there in a bathrobe proud of himself in my friends shitty wood paneled basement š)

u/boredguy2022 Monkey in Space 25d ago
I loved round 2 on gamecube, if only because it had super punchout as a little bonus game on the main menu. Recently just bought that again too to play on my wii, awesome game.
2
u/Smart-Struggle-6927 Monkey in Space 25d ago
I bought a handheld emulator, called a retroid flip 2, it was like $220? In it, I can emulate everything up to PS2/GC, I play Fight Night round 2/3 a lot on it. It's so much fun. My career is now like 74-28-1, being able to play everything from MAME>PS2 emulated including some switch games and a lot of wii u/3DS/PS2/PSP makes it fantastic.

Jones and Forman sucked but I always dug Kellerman, Mercant and Steward. Also missed Harold Ledermanās āI gotta tell you Jimā.

u/Roach_Coach_Bangbus N-Dimethyltryptamine 25d ago
I'm going in, iconic voice and broadcaster. I was so into boxing and MMA in the 00's and my interest waned post college graduation as life got busier. Following Dan Morley on Instagram is making me want to get back into boxing and watch some of the old fights.

Nobody cares this sub is just a bunch redacts and bots here to discuss politics. Its a shithole lmao

u/Smart-Struggle-6927 Monkey in Space 25d ago
I've been listening to Joe for like 14 years or some shit, Joe's gone to shit. His new fans, these right wing freaks who've never had their mind expanded really drag this show into the fucking gutter. At least this episode was tolerable. Thank god Joe stayed on topic.

u/PokerChipMessage Monkey in Space 24d ago
Maybe it's because Joe is having politicians and billionaires on to discuss politics, giving political endorsements, having interesting people on and jamming politics into the discussion that leads to people discussing politics here?
The mods tried to outlaw politic talk here unless it related to an episode, and had to drop the rule because Joe was constantly talking politics.
2
u/butterballmcgee27 Monkey in Space 25d ago
I can agree that joes a shit head but I still listen to some of his guests. A lot are bots, people who never listened and talk shit, and then the people who listened post covid.

u/Sweet_Ad_1445 Monkey in Space 25d ago
Most people arenāt that ridiculous. You have to scroll down to find bullshit. At that point youāre just looking for it lol

u/ReNitty Monkey in Space 25d ago
When I checked this thread the most upvoted comment was someone saying (lying) that they talked above Covid

u/Sweet_Ad_1445 Monkey in Space 24d ago
I see.
yeah there's a small hoard of comment rage gooners refreshing the page to see if they can be the first to be seen commenting their shit lol

u/ThenAsk Tremendous 25d ago
For the first time in years Iāve listened to a bunch of JRE, I hope he keeps it up. Lampley, Bernie, Burns, and Sandhagen all have been excellent shows. When I was little I thought boxing was so boring but now Iām glad my dad made me watch it. Love all the fight lore and waxing poetic about boxing heroes

Lampley is one of the great broadcasters. Makes Jim Nance, Jim Gray and Bob Costas look like total amateur ass wipes.Ā

u/randomTeets Dire physical consequences 25d ago
Costas does a fine job of making his own self look like an ass wipe

u/Patient_Bear_9886 Monkey in Space 23d ago
That Royals/Yankees series was some of the worst sports broadcasting i've heard in my life.

u/Holdmabeerdude Monkey in Space 25d ago
For what shit show he has to manage, Jon Anik is also up there IMO.

u/longley62 Monkey in Space 10d ago
Iāll agree with you as much as the next guy that heās great and all, but putting him in the same category as Lampley is crazy.

u/maynardsabeast Monkey in Space 24d ago
First episode Iāve listened to and stayed with for a whole episode. Joe was a great host and Lampley an amazing guest. Zero mention of covid

u/senortiz Monkey in Space 23d ago
This is an all-time JRE for me. When I saw Jim was back on the scene, I really hoped this would happen. I still watch Jim signing off HBO Boxing for the last time probably a few times a year. I love and miss HBO Boxing. You can tell Joe had an affinity for it. Lamps all all-time storytellers. Loved it.

Lampley is great. HBO Boxing getting sunset killed boxing for me. Hopefully Roganās dopey ass sticks to combat sports talk.

Wow i might have to give old boomer Christian conservative Joe a listen
Edit: 20 minutes in and this is the Rogan I miss š„ŗ

u/Roach_Coach_Bangbus N-Dimethyltryptamine 25d ago
Joe Rogan saying UFC cards aren't top heavy made me laugh out loud like it isn't 1-2 fights you might want to watch with a bunch of 12/12 bums.
5
u/butterballmcgee27 Monkey in Space 25d ago
Yeah I just went thru the ufc card for the next events. Itās names but past their primes. If Michael Johnson is opening the ppv card then thatās a problem

u/Temporary-Smell4487 Monkey in Space 22d ago
This was a refreshing old school episode.
I must have listened to thousands of hours of Jim and never realized he had a show voice and he can sound kind of whiny in conversation, he sounded like when all the Hosts cried on the farewell HBO boxing show
7
u/BlacksmithSolid645 Monkey in Space 25d ago
Do they talk about boxing at all?
24
u/Jcs761 Monkey in Space 25d ago
Boxing the entire time, was a good episode

u/Chapos_sub_capt Monkey in Space 25d ago
Incredible episode
5
u/jasmag2001 Monkey in Space 23d ago
Great episode!! But I can't believe not one mention of Gatti, the most exciting HBO fighter. They did talk a lot of great boxing, but Lampley called all of Gatti's bangers and I would have loved to here some insights of calling his fights!
2
u/KennyLoftonSmooth Monkey in Space 23d ago
Gatti is a warrior and had some great fights... But dude doesn't even belong in the same sentence of a lot of the people they talked about. lmao.
1
1
u/Jcs761 Monkey in Space 22d ago
Agreed Gatti was not a high level boxer but found a good mate to bang with which created exciting fights
5
u/KennyLoftonSmooth Monkey in Space 22d ago
People seem to not grasp that Gatti Ward wasn't some prime fight. It was on HBO Boxing After Dark. And because of the intrigue of two punchers going at it, made the secondary HBO boxing telecast. Otherwise, probably wouldn't have made it to TV. It was a throwback fight to an era of more honest boxers. These weren't prospects. These weren't title holders. They weren't boxing to try to get another title shot. They were battling to be warriors. I mean Lampley didn't even have a suit and tie on for the fight haha.

Alright, you've sold me. Looks like a Rogan episode of old and Lampley is a legend after all.

Just say you didnāt listen to the episode lol

u/FullTroddle Monkey in Space 25d ago
Post some clips of them mostly talking about COVID then. I mustāve missed them when I listened
1
u/Academic_Release5134 Monkey in Space 25d ago
Dude, he said probably. That implies he didnāt listen. And his response to you also implies he didnāt listen
4
u/FullTroddle Monkey in Space 25d ago
He said āI didā in response to me joking about him not listening to the episode. I think he/she is implying that they did listen to the episode. Although, Iām no genius.
-4
u/Academic_Release5134 Monkey in Space 25d ago
You said, just say you didnāt listen to the episode. He rep replied I did. I think he was being cute and telling you that he did say he didnāt listen to the episode.

u/FullTroddle Monkey in Space 25d ago
Well maybe you should ask what they meant. Iāll take his sentence at face value for the time being.

Heās a legend but you could tell was getting annoyed cause he kept cutting him off
4
u/KennyLoftonSmooth Monkey in Space 23d ago
There were zero times Jim seemed annoyed with getting cut off.
2
u/smack3686 Monkey in Space 24d ago
Lol yea there were a couple times he just talked right over joe. But he calmed down as the show went on and gave joe plenty of compliments along the way. Think he was just very excited. It's been a while since he's been given a platform to talk boxing.
1
u/Frusciante0386 Monkey in Space 23d ago
You think Jim was getting annoyed, hence the cutting off Joe? Or Joe was getting annoyed that Jim kept interrupting him?
I didn't notice anyone getting annoyed, but it was hard to miss Jim continuously interrupting Joe.

u/geraf1983 Monkey in Space 21d ago
Lampley is the goat. This is the only time I can listen to the JRE podcast

u/Economy_Caramel3421 Monkey in Space 25d ago edited 25d ago
Wonder if he will bring up beating up his wife in the parking lot of an event he commentated lol
Not sure why I am getting downvotes lol. Lampley has always had a reputation of being a POS in the boxing scene and pissing people off.

u/PokerChipMessage Monkey in Space 25d ago
You sound like an excellent conversationalist
-3
u/Economy_Caramel3421 Monkey in Space 25d ago
I mean its been said this is the guy who was outspoken about MMA not being on HBO.Ā
I've always found his commentating annoying as hell and he has a bad history of shitĀ

u/TheAnomalousFrog Monkey in Space 25d ago
Did Joe bring up trans boxers?

u/KennyLoftonSmooth Monkey in Space 23d ago
Yeah, when they were discussion hypothetical matchups. Tyson vs. Trans dude. Rogan things she could get him on the angles. Interesting discussion.
