IMO this is a fabulous podcast primarily bc Rick meditates, which gives him great capacity to be present, as he is with all the guests I’ve heard him converse. That’s how he can spontaneously form truly interesting & insightful questions re subjects on which he is not an expert, eg the Palmer Luckey chat. Keep up the great work, Rick. And the meditation 🤙

Great podcast. Rick interviews people who interest him and is not checking DEI boxes. Reviewers complaining about the number of women should stick to Call Her Daddy.

thought you were with the times Rick. smh.

Sad to see what happens to some people when they reach a certain level of success and esteem.

Love this pod cast! It is one of the best and most interesting. Like the original music intro better

ding a ling show

If you love celebrating successful white men and the occasional woman, then this is the podcast for you!

hey Rick, how you been? hope all is well, Brando passed away in 2004. Confused on this march 8, interview? is this fake?

I like the idea of rehashing old interviews and pretending to be in the interviewer. It’s honestly a nice idea and these are my favorite episodes on the show. That said, what about giving some credit to the *actual interviewer*? For example in the Brando conversation the interviewer is the American historian Studs Terkel. But the show notes simply say “Rick connects with Marlon Brando.” Studs Terkel, not Rick Rubin, is the individual to whom Marlon Brando expresses gratitude at the end of the interview. Rick Rubin is quite happy to slide in and feign credit for where no credit is due. It’s hopelessly obnoxious behavior from a man who simply cannot have enough attention. Once a grifter, always a grifter.

Too few women included to even consider. What a shame.
