The problem is meathead Joe Rogan lets his guests tell cool stories about their experiences to gain an audience, then proceeds to express the stupidest fucking thoughts imaginable to all those people from the gaping anus that serves as his mouth.

My problem is he uncritically accepts bullshit gecause he has no idea. When he was ypunger he was more willing to change.

long-format, uncensored interviews with interesting people in en era of heavy media manipulation and short form propaganda.

There seem to be lots of options for that these days. He’s not so unique anymore.

But he built up such a large audience.

I use to casually watch select episodes where the guest was someone cool or interesting. And the fringe topics could be fun.

But now… bleh. It’s all too self aware and shot with bullshit now.

There's an argument to be made that just engaging his bullshit gives it weight. Something about arguing with a pig just gets you pulled into the mud and the pig likes it or somesuch. (I know, I butchered that saying).

I honestly prefer the angle of "Oh, you listen to Joe Rogan. Then clearly your opinion is of no consequence and I want nothing with you".
