Joe Rogan Experience #2508 - Joe Eszterhas

Kudos to him for being 81 and not on oxygen. My Mom was born the same year, 1944. I lost her to COPD in 2017. Not a good way to go. Bless anyone who struggles to breathe.

Props to Jamie for putting that mic up closer at the beginning

I'm gonna buy a pack of Marlboro Reds just so I can throw them away.

hard to believe he’s only 24yrs old

Waiting for Joe to offer him a cigar

I removed my lungs to watch this

My man sounds exactly how he looks. Love it when it all comes together.

Im gonna quit smoking after this

Joe has dug deep and the latest episodes give me that nostalgia of when I first started watching his casts. Back to basics and I'm all in again.
