Podcast Joe Rogan Experience

[FlowersByIrene]

So why waste hours listening to Rogan then? Is he really that entertaining? I don’t see it. A lot of the time he just echoes what his guests say. Credit to him for calling out Candace Owens, Steven Crowder, Milo and Dave Rubin though.

But that was then. These days there’s tonnes of sh*t to attack right wingers on and he’ll ignore it or dismiss it. Why would he do that if he wasn’t biased and didn’t have an audience that leans right?

I’m not saying that’s a bad thing either but don’t pretend like you’re Sam Harris who’s far more in the middle than Rogan likes to pretend he is.

Anyone who can’t see Rogan’s bias by now is being stubborn or in denial. But then, you did say yourself maybe Joe shouldn’t have mentioned climate change to Peterson “haha.” What’s the matter, don’t want that dickhead to be exposed?

I thought letting the audience decide by open discussions on anything was a good thing. Peterson said that gibberish on “climate is everything” because climate change has become a liberal talking point. He’s a grifter. His celebrity status was based on a lie by the way. The bill never forced him to use gender pronouns. And he knew it.


No, I don’t like him because he is a nonvaxxer pseudo intellectual idiot who pretends to be this unbiased, holier than thou neutral guy when he’s anything but. Plus he was agreeing with a guy who compared Australia to nazi Germany and a police state. He can get f’ed. I’m allowed to dislike someone for being full of sh*t, it’s not the same as wanting to censor them. Where was his condemnation of Trump and the Republicans who defended him over his attempt to steal the election?

Wow that was a whole lot of fantasy words, you should think about writing bad poetry or something.

Once is enough for Alex Jones. How many interviews do you need to see of that guy to know by now that he’s full of sh*t? Check out knowledge fight podcast, they chew him up and spit him out. Hes been quite an obvious nutter since the 90s let alone recent years.

Ha, found that Knowledge Fight pod a month or so back and have been listening to it in the background at work.

The deposition recordings ep they dropped last week where Jones is actually forced to stick to facts and answer questions (hilariously fumble his way through attempted answers really) re: his Sandy Hook bullshit is something else. Didn't have all that much problem with him being on Rogan back when it happened, just laughed along, but yeah in hindsight it was a bad decision to have him on imo.

Absolute garbage human running an absolute garbage operation (Jones and Infowars, not Rogan).

No, I realise they’d probably be against lockdowns and border closures but they wouldn’t be cheering on anti vaxxer pseudoscience dickheads. They were way more intelligent than that and they’d ******* hate the likes of Shapiro and probably Peterson too. You can be a leftie, hate conservatism and not be woke/PC/SJW which I think is overblown anyway. I’d say Chappelle and Burr were closer to what they would’ve been like today than Rogan.

If I'm predicting - which again I hesitate to do because I consider Hicks and Carlin as in another stratosphere both comedically and intellectually - I'd say both wouldn't want another comedian's freedom of expression stifled. They would actually be joking about people like you.

 

[Coolangatta]

Joe Rogan is funny. Ask Chappelle and Burr if he is.

Rather funny how you bring up Burr as he's been doing what you're hating on Rogan for doing for years. BB is always spouting sh*t about stuff he's never researched. I mean how can you say you love him without knowing this?

His whole schtick was based around "What the fu** do I know. Don’t listen to me people, I’m a ******* idiot" after he'd be waffling on about something.

You're a faux Burr fan haha

Yeah I know all that but I think Burr’s just humble and that typical intelligent person full of doubt. As for Rogan, for someone who does the whole “don’t listen to me” thing he sure has strong feelings and opinions about covid and loves bringing it up with guests who aren’t there to talk about that shit. And no I’m not a faux Bill fan. Burr doesn’t peddle anti vax bullshit to a huge platform in fact he’s brilliantly made fun of the anti vax conspiracy theorists. And he doesn’t treat republicans with kid gloves either or think that tucker Carlson is a fair and objective reporter which is about as republican as it gets.

 

[pjcrows]

So why waste hours listening to Rogan then? Is he really that entertaining?

Why waste hours chatting on an AFL internet forum?

 

[pjcrows]

Why is Bill Burr's name even in this discussion? He hates politics.

I’m indifferent to what Spotify does with Rogan. It’s really up to them isn’t it?

 

[M Malice]

And in the case of grifters like Malone, he should do better than that. He should do his research and challenge Malones lies.


From what I've seen, he goes softly with it. I've only seen bits and pieces in the last 5+ years though. Tons of better books, podcasts, videos etc to engage with. The return on time investment with Rogan isn't there for me. Others see it differently.

He did challenge Malone quite a bit in the latest Podcast but they will not get highlighted/soundbite by MSM/critics as it doesn't fit their bullshit horsedewormer, Joe is the devil narrative.

The bolded is very common, people love to criticise Rogan but most of them do not listen to any of his content in long form, they are duped by 15 second clickbait from MSM.

 

[Coolangatta]

Why is Bill Burr's name even in this discussion? He hates politics.

Because some genius thinks you can’t be left wing and non PC/woke/sjw. Which is complete bs.

Yep, Bill Burr is one of the GOAT comedians IMO, him George Carlin, Tim Dillon and Steve Hughes are my go to for a bit of a laugh on youtube.

Then why are more and more Liberal Americans happy to go on Carlson when the likes of CNN and MSNBC won't give those Liberals a platform to speak on and air their concerns?

Do you not see what is happening?

That old school Liberals who are left leaning but also hold dearly the value of freedom of speech and freedom of opinions and choice are getting a better opportunity to express their views by the likes of Tucker Carlson and Joe Rogan than they do on left leaning platforms shows how whack job it's getting.

That Tucker Carlson will at least bring them on when a Rachel Maddow wouldn't says it all.

 

[Chief]

He did challenge Malone quite a bit in the latest Podcast

If it's the one I saw reviewed, he didn't really.

Malone got away with lots of lies.

 

[Bostonian]

Those people are called Liberals, in the true sense.

You are in no way a Liberal in that sense.

If that’s true then that’s concerning. I haven’t been following politics that closely. I suppose they’d be accused of being fake leftists but I don’t know. I’d say generally if you’re pro union, universal healthcare, climate action, marriage equality, pro choice etc you wouldn’t exactly be right wing.

 

[Bostonian]

Why is Bill Burr's name even in this discussion? He hates politics.

But he loves his Patriots!

 

[Coolangatta]

But I would add I sincerely doubt Tucker Carlson is interested in an open and honest debate. He’s a mouthpiece for Fox and Murdoch, but it makes him look good if he has guests with opposing views on. But if it takes Tucker down a notch or two in the process then that’s also good.

 

[Coolangatta]

If it's the one I saw reviewed, he didn't really.

Malone got away with lots of lies.

He’s not really qualified to tackle Malone. Why not have an expert who’s good at debunking Malone on at the same time and moderate it? I think Rogan for all his faults could be a good moderator if he wanted to.

 

[Coolangatta]

I have to say this was a good episode of the JRE.

Exactly. Liberal thinkers are now considered right wing.

How ****ing dumb is that environment that has been created by not the right, but the left.

Well that is stupid and I suppose that’s the same type of people that hate Burr and Chappelle. I consider Rogan differently because of the harm the covid misinformation from his platform has likely caused. I hope he has the medical expert antithesis of Malone on someday.

Are these types of leftists a majority though or a vocal minority? There’s this argument that right wingers will straw man lefties as authoritarians but I’m sure there’s plenty of them around willing to engage with people who lean right or even heavily right.

Check out the late Patrice O'neill too.

Yeah I don't think he's created much damage at all.

People had already have made their minds up on these things long ago. Some guy on a podcast isn't going to change some communal mindset because of it.

The old school Liberal will engage with people of all backgrounds, the modern left will not. It's their way or the highway. It's not an argument, it's a reality.


Just look at how the vocal left deals with feminists who don't recognise biological men as women. Those feminists can be as left leaning as you can get but as soon as they dare speak out with their views then bang they'll be being lumped with all kinds of people they have no political alignment with who don't toe the rabid lefts line.

 

[Taylor]

That's a good point. If you think that women who spent their formative years as a man might have a different perspective on what it's like - that makes the feminist into a "radical" now.

That’s a good post but it begs the question what is the value of these discussions if people have already made up their minds? I think there’s got to be something to the idea that people can change an opinion or become less extreme if they’re exposed to rhetoric they’ve never heard before. So I don’t know.

Maybe you’re right and Rogan hasn’t done much damage but people do look up to him because he’s got that working man larrikin manly vibe to him. I’m glad he had that Aussie guy on recently who challenged him on that heart condition and other points.

I don't know. Seems these discussions start up when people come to have a rage against JR because he won't be a good little boy and do his thing like they think he should. That's the authoritarian streak coming out in them.

He has a huge audience because he's relatable to a large section of people and because he's basically a centrist who'll talk to anyone.
