Are Joe Rogan and Brian Redban still friends?
Joe Rogan and former producer of The Joe Rogan Experience, Brian Redban, have had quite a relationship. The two were really good friends before things started to turn south between them in 2014.
Brian Redban and Joe Rogan's friendship started back when the two were entering the standup comedy world. It wasn't long before the two formed a professional relationship and Redban was hired as a producer for The Joe Show. The series was Rogan's first YouTube endeavor but did not really take off.
Then, in 2009, Joe Rogan started his own podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, and Brian Redban continued to act as a producer for the show. Redban was also a co-host of the podcast during its early years.
However, things didn't work out well with the two and Joe Rogan eventually decided to fire Brian Redban. Redban wasn't able to keep up with the show and lacked what Rogan required to make his show a success. Since their professional split, the two have managed to maintain a healthy dynamic.
