I enjoyed him when they had sober October eps where I didn't listen to him much and he was 1/4 of the group. With him and Tom together he just takes over and makes everything about himself and it's awful. Will have to check that out because I like Whiskey Ginger for mindless listening.
I don't tune in every week but I enjoy it quite a bit. And yes, Bert is hard to listen to. I get why he is probably a fun friend to have around but I don't find his standup funny and only tolerate him on two bears because Tom can be ruthlessly hilarious ripping him
I occasionally listen to Rogan when he has a guest that I'm interested in. Not a huge fan of Joe and his shtick, but is he supposed to be looked upon as serious, 100% factual news? I always figured he was just to be viewed as an entertainer/comedian...and I'm not shocked when the entertainers/comedians I listen to are wrong and prove themselves to be dipshits from time to time. The guy screwed up, he admitted he did, and apologized. The fuck else you Karens want from him?
When you're actively petitioning to host a presidential debate you should probably not repeat as gospel things you see on r/thedonald.
Joe Rogan Stans are Gen X 'I-Hate-Both-Sides-Of-The-Political-Spectrum-But-I-Only-Ever-Criticize-The-Left' type people. These people are so stupid that they translate the Television entertainment media personalities they consume into people that they full throatedly trust for their political advice and opinions
Honestly, most of my friends that are Rogan fans are hardcore left - but to say I'm in a bubble is an understatement so I doubt that's entirely correlative to other areas of the country.
All the Rogan fans I know are the dumb people that you went to High School with and "dont like politics" but gargle the dick of the right wing culture wars
i don’t like politics and have def leaned left a lot more in the last 8-10 years... You’re just so angry it’s gross.
I wouldn’t consider myself conservative to begin with... I was and still consider myself apolitical on the whole. Hope your day gets better.
If you aren't angry you aren't paying attention I caveat this with the whole I worked in a field where I saw people dying due to the actions of the politicians who think this is all a game Glad rogan apologized though, someone in his circle is holding him slightly accountable for his stupidity.
My day is great. Rain is falling on the local forest fires that exploded due to our lack of addressing Climate Change, I got a flu shot to help my immune response during a pandemic that is running rampant due to lack of addressing COVID.... and it's a friday!
I'm self aware enough to realize that spending the entirety of my time with the demographics that comprise my revenue streams probably make me detached from reality to a large degree. But here we area.
He's got MMA related fans and weed/DMT related fans. A lot of us run into the MMA related fans more frequently.
And a fair amount of comedy fans. I don’t give a shit about MMA and while I enjoy the occasional vape I generally despise stoner culture.
The worst part of stoner culture are the fucking radio ads for vape places talking about being a part of the vape culture and living the vape lifestyle. Second worst: Phish.
I'm not a Rogan stan, but I do generally hate the current state of both political 'teams'. What I enjoy most is guessing how each side is going to defend the latest embarrassment their guy/gal has created. So, over the past 4 years it's def been more laughing at the 'right'...but there's always quality content from both. FWIW, I think Gaffigan would be a much more entertaining moderator than Rogan.
Im a bit like happy on this page, my apologies. I listen to his podcast and choose to not listen to certain guests, when I know I’ll disagree. I’m not a stoner culture hippy guy, but I do like hearing about individuals who delve into DMT and what they experienced. He asks different questions and I personally think his over the top exercise and benefits plugs are a good thing.
What are you comparing it to? I think it’s a good listen when it’s a guest I’m interested in listening to. Take it for what it is, it’s a podcast.
This is an interesting situation if it's got any steam. You'd think Joe would tell them to go fist themselves but $100 mil is a lot of dough so....?
He seems like the type of dude that will tell them to fuck themselves and go back to YouTube or sign as big a deal with iHeartRadio or something
It felt like asking for deep thoughts from someone that just did way too much blow. There has to be something going on there.
Rogan's podcast was ok before he became a big deal and everyone made a big deal out of him. He needed to stick to fighting, comedy, etc and not act like platform for political pundits. He says he's liberal, but he's definitely a libertarian. Its what happens when a liberal white guy gets older and wealthy.
Rogan admits he doesn't know about a lot of things, but still gives his opinion anyways. I think that's a lot of what appeals to his fans.
What's next, removing the ads podcasts slip in since people get Spotify premium to avoid hearing ads?
