    Reality TV gameshow host endorses reality tv show host. Good old Joe still eating bugs for a paycheck.

        Man imagine a world where Phil was still around and UFC joe was just wiping sweat off gym equipment.

        Dave Foley, Phil Hartman, Stephen Root and Maura Tierny had to spend months of their lives with both moron Joe Rogan and Andy Dick. It’s amazing only Phil is dead and not by his own hand.

    From the dude who endorsed Bernie Sanders in 2016. What happened Joe? You went through the batshit crazy alt-right pipeline during COVID didn’t you…

        That’s probably a good explanation. Pretty much everyone of these podcasting guru type people start of centrist or leftcenter then once they start to mix with the big leagues and make lots of money, all of the sudden they become right wing figures.

        Joe Rogan, Lex Friedman, Andrew Huberman, Bret Weinstein

        Man, I miss the r/decodingthegurus reddit sub where we could make fun of and expose these dipshits.

            I’ve already created around 6 communities and mod an extra two across this account and my alts so I kind of have my hands full here

            Also if I had the energy to make and run a community I think one I’d love on lemmy is probably c/fivethirtyeight or c/guerrillagardening so I’d probably prioritise one of those.

              And there’s a risk of a community like that blowing up overnight when you’ve already got a bunch of mod duties and you’re the only mod in the new community.

              As I have discovered.

              Accepting applications, by the way.

                  Thanks. Let’s hope it doesn’t keep me as busy as it has. The fact that I’ve had to add a ‘no racism’ rule already…

          Sigh, Lex Friedman used to be an interesting listen for financial stuff, and now he’s just another MAGA loser spouting bullshit economics

            It pisses me off that these people get some of the most interesting people on earth to join their podcast and then all turn out to be MAGA arseholes.

            I have to wonder who pays them and how much.

      Joe Rogan has made it very clear over the years that he believes whatever people he knows tell him without bothering to check for himself to see whether or not it’s true.

      So he may have actually had no idea what Bernie’s platform was.

        He used to be pretty progressive and had Bernie on his podcast. He used to be in favour or medicare for all, legalising weed, etc.

        idk where he stands now though.

      I listened to the man until around 2018, by then it was starting to get clear he was becoming increasingly “macho” and elitist so I stopped.

        Same. Even saw him and Tony Hinchcliff live in Detroit at one point. Seems like he went hard right after moving to Texas.

    Where’s all the Rogan apologists now? So many posts that discuss Rogan and his behavior rationalize his right-wing lean as not really right wing and act like he’s playing some sort of 3D chess to keep view counts up. Dude’s trash. This is who he is.

      Do people still do that? He’s been pretty open about being right-wing for a while now.

    There is no excuse at this point, anyone who still listens to his podcast should question it, and what others around them think of them. It’s not positive…

    What a shit personality.

    I remember when he got like famous (on the internet), and you could actually believe he wasn’t a total tool (he had good people coming to his show at least), I’m hijacking here a bit but who should I listen to that’s interesting and not a fucking fascist enabler?

      Total tool? Maybe not. Total fool? For sure. He was talking about the moon landings being a big hoax long before he got his show.

      Stuff on Bill Simmon’s podcast network might scratch your itch? I usually only do the Rewatchables but they generally just talk sports and pop culture and are entertaining and light hearted. If you’re looking for something more political or specific I got recs for those too
