The Joe Rogan Podcast Thread

[PK Cronin]

There have always been instagram lifters that use fake weights to make themselves look better, but the Cuomo fake weight story is just weird. It was always obvious the weights were fake, so glad Rogan has revisited it. I've never understood the mentality of someone using fake weights.

As someone who isn't a fan of Chris Cuomo at all, the original thing was obviously a gag and I'm not sure why anyone took it seriously.

I’m 30 minutes into the Kanye episode and this might be the worst podcast I’ve ever listened too.

I’m loving this Ye podcast. I love hearing some stream of consciousness type thoughts on everything, my mind works the same way.

A lot of it is very basic thoughts, but I’m excited to see him keep working on them. It’s crystallizing more and more, but I can see why a lot of people are gonna hate this.

“It’s not a rant, it’s a symphony of ideas.”

50 mins in and I gotta take a breather fr.

They Kanye interview was done wrong. Joe shouldn't have let him just talk. he needed to do a more back and forth

 

[TheBeastCoast]

That was awful. Did not get close to finishing.

@Alex Jones

 

[spintheblackcircle]

The guy has had 1500+ podcasts and hasn't had a guy like Alex Jones on it what feels like 3-4 years. Who was his last mast controversial guest? Ben Shapiro?

It's like I said a month or so ago when this argument first started. So much of this anti-Rogan stuff is purely based on politics.

"So Alex, is Biden a lizard person?"

Circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus type 2 – Sudan
UN says new polio outbreak in Sudan caused by oral vaccine

Let's see, over 7 million doses and 11 people got sick.

Pretty sure the anti-maskers would say those are pretty good odds, 1 of every 700,000?

Keep the tinfoil army marching.

Rogan keeps asking Jones for proof throughout this episode. He does provide some but he is all over the place.

Bohemian Grove though. lol

WHO risk assessment
WHO assesses the risk of further international spread of cVDPV2 across central Africa and the Horn of Africa to be high. With large-scale population movements with other areas of central Africa and the Horn of Africa. A more thorough region-wide risk assessment is being conducted by the polio program. Across the African continent, 172 type 2 cases in 14 countries have been reported in 2020.

I'm far from an anti-vaxxer, but this is the problem that people have when it comes to Jones. Vast majority of the time, he is a crazy uncle that is all over the place. He's someone that I don't even find interesting, the car wreck effect wears off pretty quickly. There are cases where he brings up correct information, this specific instance being one of them.

It's just a reason why vaccines have to be thoroughly tested, and why they shouldn't be blindly taken, at the same time, they shouldn't be blindly avoided either.

 

[Beau Knows]

Lol so Joe Rogan has had two nutjobs on in a row?

Everything requires a level of interest in order to get to the truth. It's far too easy to dismiss something from the start when it goes against what you believe.

Jones says far too much stuff to research and exaggerates a lot but it doesn't mean there is no truth to it.

If he wants to be taken seriously, maybe he shouldn't exaggerate. But I guess there's money in controversy. That's my assumption for why Alex Jones continues to be a thing.

Ironically, Nathan Bernard has "free speech activist" as his bio.

 

[John Price]

It's hilarious how the perception of Rogan has changed so starkly from "He's a good dude speaking his mind" to "He's an ass" after he invited all those [REDACTED] people on of certain political persuasion.

I would hardly consider Rogan a radical threat to society. That being said he should probably watch who he puts on his show. Maybe he just doesn't care.

 

[Legend Leinonen]

Alex Jones is one of the few reasonably sane people in our times. And I'm not saying he is not crazy; because rest for sure, he is. But he is still more sane than vast majority of the sheeplings.

He's never cared because he'd never tried to be what people think he is. He's always said he's done this because it was fun and he's got to meet and talk to interesting people, viewers have just gravitated towards it over time, he never expected to become the biggest podcast on the market.

I wouldn't call Kanye a nutjob, a lot of artists are pretty unique like that.

 

[bleedblue1223]

Glenn Greenwald was on today, I've been waiting for this one since it was listed as an upcoming guest.

The election night podcast is sure to annoy some, but I'll at least watch the clips with Kyle Kulinski and Alex Jones. Curious to see those 2 interact.

With great powers comes great responsibility.

It may not be what he intended when he began, but it is what it is now.

He has a huge platform. He can’t just proclaim “I’m an idiot, don’t get political advice from me or my podcast” to his audience with the guests he has on.

I also take issue with his Biden has dementia stance.

It's only that way in the eyes of the people that don't like him and have generally never liked him or never knew who he was.

I've just always found it fascinating that people want to hold him to a higher standard than actual journalistic institutions.
