| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Quick Rogan review of the week, where we break down Rogan's episodes of last week |
| 0:06.1 | with a short summary, fan reactions, a rating out of 10, so you have an idea of which episode |
| 0:12.8 | you might like the most, so you can go back and listen. Up first, episode 2438, John Mellencamp. |
| 0:20.8 | This was the quiet heavy wake of the week. |
| 0:24.3 | Much slower pacing, much more reflective. |
| 0:27.8 | Mellencamp spoke openly about family, mortality, regret, and love, |
| 0:32.6 | including emotionally heavy discussions around his daughter's health struggles. |
| 0:39.3 | Rogan largely stepped back there, which was the right move, letting the conversation just kind of |
| 0:46.3 | breathe. There was some heavy, heavy points there. This episode won't trend on TikTok, but it lands |
| 0:53.7 | deeply if you're into kind of the reflective headspace. |
| 0:58.0 | It's the kind of episode that sneaks up on you emotionally, especially if you're a parent or thinking about legacy. |

| 1:37.6 | podcasts matter. And another, not background noise, this deserves attention. attention overall rating eight out of ten |
| 1:49.2 | eight out of ten for this one quiet meaningful and emotionally grounded high rating for this |
| 1:57.4 | this is honestly kind of a stacked week in a lot of ways for great episodes but if you have the time |
| 2:06.1 | that one is it's up there with a must listen for me it's just a really good episode a little |
| 2:13.6 | different for kind of Rogan feel and it just kind of the pacing and the emotional aspect of it |
| 2:21.3 | for me really good yeah just definitely a good episode moving on the legend that is episode 2439 |
| 2:30.6 | johnny knoxville of course he's doing the new fear factor. It makes sense that he would come on. |
