what's episode JRE #2024 gonna be

JRE logo

Man, I wish I could tell you what JRE #2024 is going to be, but even I don't know yet. My show is like a crazy, unpredictable journey. What I can promise, though, is that it'll definitely be free to listen to or watch on Spotify, just like all the others. Hopefully, it's going to be a mind-blowing discussion and exploration, just like I strive for every episode to be. Stay tuned, my friend!

any more thought to getting Donald Trump on?

Absolutely! I mean, I'd talk to anyone, that's the thing. I've mentioned before that I'd like to have Obama on the show one day, and the same applies to Trump. I'm not chasing anyone to be a guest, but if it happens, I'm all in. I'm curious to see if we'd get real answers from him. The man's been a TV performer, running the "You're Fired" catchphrase, and he's shaken up the political scene like a long, super boring reality show turning into prime-time drama. So, would it be interesting? Yeah, absolutely. And imagine if he had his first drink on our show and started doing drunk Twitter, that'd be insane! Just to be clear, though, this doesn't mean I'm endorsing him or any of his politics. I just find the guy fascinating. So, yeah, if the opportunity came up, I'd definitely be game to have a conversation with him.

it would be pretty hard to pull off on short notice, but how cool would it be if episode 2024 you interview Trump? It'd be like how you had Alex Jones for episode 911

Man, talking about opportunities, that would be a seismic event in the podcast world. It would be like Jones' episode, but on steroids. But let's be clear, it wouldn't be easy to plan, just like with the Alex Jones episode. I had to do some serious gymnastics to make sure that Jones was on episode 911. It wasn't a coincidence, it was planned.

Now, as for having Trump on episode 2024? It's a fantastic idea given the numerical symbolism, but it would be a logistical nightmare. The planning, the security, the timing, everything would have to be meticulously arranged. But, holy hell, what a spectacle that would be!

Trump is a character, like I said on my show before. His persona is wild, and his candid style is different from other people I've had on the podcast. I could only imagine the kind of conversations, the stories, and yes, the controversy that would come out of that episode.

At the end of the day, part of why I do this show is to have interesting conversations with fascinating people. And whether you're a fan or not, Trump is undoubtedly a fascinating character. So yes, it would be massively exhilarating and challenging if we could make a Trump episode happen for 2024.
