Joe Rogan identifies show business as the primary industry that historically drove cultural value and migration to Los Angeles, noting its recent decline.

“So the big industry in Hollywood, regardless of whether or not it's the biggest economic industry, the biggest industry in terms of like cultural value and like getting people to move there, was always show business.”

He believes that the modern era of television journalism lacks the integrity and independence that characterized the era of Edward R. Murrow.

“You don't you don't really see any of those guys step out of the party line, so to speak, anymore. Broadcasters aren't thinking for themselves. They're not saying, "Oh, I should do this and I should say that." They're like, "Oh, here's your here's what you're supposed to say."”

The Oscars have become increasingly irrelevant and the actors who participate are out of touch with the public.

“i just think it's getting more and more irrelevant every year and it's so funny to watch these actors still think they matter and do their [ __ ] social chants whenever they win an award and nobody cares”

He believes the Brat Pack era was defined by the ambition and industriousness of the young actors involved, rather than just the social reputation.

“I think the thing that disappointed certain members of the brat pack is that it never took into account how industrious and ambitious and hardworking everybody was I mean they we all loved to party but that became the the headline the focus than how talented and hardworking everybody was”

She believes rumors regarding the existence of elite Hollywood sex rings are true.

“I've heard from girls like stripper friends of mine or like whoever that like they do exist and like they will go oh my God and it's like people who are like very famous that like I know and I'm like”

He considers the era of Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie the peak of Hollywood culture.

“I've been through a lot of fun young hollywood's that was the best one that was the craziest the most amazing that was like no no instagram paparazzi pandemonium”

The industry, while a business, is also a source of deep, raw, human connection that transcends professional success.

“It's deep, it's raw, it's human, has nothing to do with show off business. Nothing. Even though our whole lives have been in show off business.”

Being a woman in a leadership position in television, as a showrunner or producer, has significantly changed the work environment for the better.

“It's everything. It's It's such a different vibe now.”
