His guest list is shrinking because he moved to Texas. Now, guests have to go out of their way to be on the show. When he was in LA, many of those guests were already in LA doing various press events, shooting movies, living there, etc.JRE needs a shakeup. Used to be consistently entertaining. His guest list seems to be shrinking, lots of repeats, and just about every show now devolves into a DMT, carnivore diet, hot sauna and cold plunge echo chamber. He still has some good guests, but getting rarer.
He needs to get some guests in that actually challenge him. Maybe a few proper debates about some topics dear to his heart.
That’s part of it, but lots of his guests would gladly travel to be on his show when it was based in LA too. Austin isn’t that isolated. The value of appearing on his show is diminishing.His guest list is shrinking because he moved to Texas. Now, guests have to go out of their way to be on the show.

Merlin Tuttle, the bat researcher based in Austin was a gem of a guest. More Merlin’s, less 2nd rate standup comics.I guess actors and athletes are alright, but the best episodes are scientists and experts that are not known to the mainstream but they have facts that can blow your mind.
Possibly. But while guests were willing to travel to LA, and willing to travel to Austin, my guess is that they didn’t have to be willing to travel to LA to do just his podcast. They could do his podcast as one of a few different things they were doing in LA. So while they are willing to travel to Austin, they are not as willing as they were to travel to LA.That’s part of it, but lots of his guests would gladly travel to be on his show when it was based in LA too.

Dave Smith is so informative/interesting to listen to!Not sure if what he was saying was true but I learned a lot about the Israel/Palestine deal from Dave Smith a few episodes back.
