      There’s no skirting the fact that Rogan’s platform directly benefited voter turnout for the pedo nazis. If he’s oblivious to his contribution, he’s an idiot. If he’s aware of his contribution, he’s a pedo nazi/sympathizer.

    Gosh, Joe. Is Trump bad? Does he want to do bad things? Was voting for him bad? Does that make you bad?

    Don’t worry about it, buddy. You were still right to tell everyone you supported him and would vote for him and that you wanted him to hold you in his big strong pudding-arms while you fell asleep. You were right to support him on air with your millions of idiot listeners. It’s ok, pal. Just let everyone know that you don’t approve of this latest bad stuff and then it’s not your fault. There you go, guy.

          I’m actually talking about when he was a Bernie supporter but I guess people either don’t know that he was, or are completely rewriting history inside their own heads so that he was always as bad as he is now so they can virtue signal about how good and moral they are for having never liked the bad person.

          I stopped interacting with him and his show entirely when he started dipping into antivax and covid conspiracy hard. I enjoyed it before that. If you didn’t, good for you.

        In 2019 Rogan was what?

        The funny thing to me is that on Fear Factor he was literally the guy saying “you will eat ze bugs” and now that’s a right wing conspiracy about leftists.

        Back when he was “just asking questions,” right?

        I still didn’t know what the fuck children like you think the word based means, but I’m pretty sure it doesn’t mean “spewing Steve Bannon talking points to hand trump the election”

          Back when he was a Bernie supporter actually, I’m sorry you don’t have a memory. Covid is when he went off the deep end, which would be right around 6 years ago. But sure, change it to being closer to like 8-9 if you like.

          You can still have not liked him when he was saying the good things, but I’m not going to apologize for liking it back when it wasnt hard right maga conspiracy all the time. But sure go off kiddo lol

          Even before that bro. Personally I don’t think he’s ever been worth listening to, but he was past insufferable at least 2-3 years before the 2016 election.

      I don’t think he ever was. I never understood why people liked him. He always seemed like a poser to me. He wanted to be a cool guy, he wanted to be funny, he wanted to be a UFC fighter… I guess that kind of describes everyone in the “manosphere”.

          Admittedly I found him through his conversations with scientists I enjoyed listening to. Those days were good, they’d just have conversations about black holes and quantum physics. Then shit got absolutely out of hand and I never listened to him again.

            Yeah I think what’s missed is that there weren’t a lot of long form podcasts like that at the time. It was great to be able to hear someone like Sean Carroll come on and talk about Spacetime for 3 hours and then have Joe convince him to start his own podcast, which is still going and really dang good. Joe served as the interested but uninformed audience to just kind of keep the person talking. Not to defend what it’s become, but it wasn’t always like it is now

              It’s too bad so many people found Joe Rogan more interesting than Stuff You Should Know, even though the latter started before Rogan. Josh and Chuck don’t have whacky guests, but they talk about the coolest topics.

                talked*,

                after I saw that Terrance Howard one I think I lost some IQ points and all of my respect (what little was left) for Rogan.

                now there’s way better podcast like star talk or anything else.

                people figured out his formula, anyone left listening is on the bottom of the dev curve.

      His early comedy was funny in the 1990s bro sort of way. His podcast was hysterical when it was just him smoking weed with redban. The joey diaz fleshlight commercials are still funny to me “they put a little clean shaven monkey in there”

      This was before the big money showed up to the podcast.

        I tried listening to his podcast when it got big. It’s was boring as shit. I don’t know how people can listen to him talk for hours at a time.

        I can maybe listen to a curated version where they cut out 98% and only leave in the part where they actually say something interesting.
