I suspect that Rogan is just an anti-woke guy, he wants to be contrarian because it's cool. I could be wrong but he doesn't strike me as someone that is dumb but someone that is smart enough to understand how he can make his podcast continuously popular.

Not at all i just don't take what a professional comedian says for face value, same crap that chapelle is dealing with.
I listened to the full podcast yesterday, i'm well aware of what is and isn't said.
I can also see his point if you truly believe they are his views in some aspects, doesn't mean i agree with them or going to shout he's a moron from the rooftops.
Yeh, I quite like Joe...but maybe that's because I was more of a listener in the past. Not heard much since he crossed to Spotify!I've yet to meet an "anti Joe Rogan fan". I've met people who don't like Joe Rogan, though
I know many cool and decent people who like Joe Rogan. I just tried to explain his most avid defenders. Based on what I've seen, they fall into one of those groups(although I've only seen Group 3 online, but that is also the smallest of them. For obvious reasons).
Everyone knows someone like Rogan who's forever compensating with perceived masculine traits. Acting like he's some warrior by working out, getting in a sauna and doing the hardest job in the world - stand up comedy. A overly dissenting voice to anything perceived as making life easier. The dude was too much of a warrior for covid and did a week in construction - he is hard as feck.
It summed him up for me when he asked bill burr did the meat make him more aggressive.

I don't think he can hide behind being a comedian in these instances. His podcast is not a two hour comedy show. They actually discuss topics of substance, and he makes his opinion known to a very large following that listens to him on these topics (for whatever reason). And again, he cannot just keep saying 'Don't listen to me, I'm just a comedian' after spewing falsehoods for an hour. He should take some responsibility.
I have no issue calling him a moron, when his positions are moronic. Saying men shouldn't take paternity leave because they didn't give birth is moronic. Advocating using Ivermectin for covid without a shred of medical evidence is moronic. Telling young people not to get vaccinated for covid is moronic.
Rogan’s an Alt-Right gateway drug.
The irony of him being upset at people laughing at him over Ivermectin....
Some more background on the ivermectin and Joe Rogan debate. It'll be interesting to see If any of the research does show the drug is effective.
I think this is pretty much it.
And presumably this is the drug Pfizer wanted to push through while making sure ivermectin was buried as a horse drug.

God I love Tim Heidecker. This is so on point. Well done to all three of them just committing to a bit and chatting absolute inane shit for a whole hour.
RIP 
Have you seen this?

I've watch the highlight episodes loads but I've never been able to sit and watch the whole thing through. The build up to the trial on the On Cinema show as amazing. He also did a hour long show of bad stand up
Genuinely one of the funniest sets I have watched. He is a genius when you think of how hard this would be to do.
I decided to put on the Snopp Dogg episode, because I thought it might be funny. Got about 10 minutes in and Joe started talking about Charlie Murphy and how he was a such a man because he did martial arts.
Apart from being horribly cringeworthy, I must have heard him talk about Charlie Murphy about 50 times previously.

"He's a centrist"
I thought he was dead?

I'm so stealing that!
Right wing dick followed by young white male sheep
I've watched half an hour of that so far. It's amazing.
I don't get his popularity. I only see clips now and again but he comes as a kind of edgy nihilist teenager acting contrarian to come across like he's got some higher level enlightenment.
Maybe unintentionally because he supported the initial Trump campaign and second on only because he thought it was the best out of two bad choices. But politically he’s pretty neutral.. if people listen to him and not the sound bites don’t think they’d view him as extreme
I am 37 and I still laugh at this bit every time I watch it.
I watch “the universe” at least once a month.

he's having Dr Robert Malone on his show, the guy who tenuously claimed to have invented the RNA vaccine
the guy went full grifter and just got banned from Twitter for posting this;

Does he ever have other guests on who would oppose his view on vaccines?
Can someone explain Robert Malone? Why is he spreading misinformation? I mean, he is a virologist isn't he?
Andrew Wakefield is a doctor, I don't really understand your question. People have all sorts of reasons to believe crazy shit; theyre crazy, they get rich, they get famous.

looks like he's just on the grift train to me
I mean he's claiming to invent something he played a very small roll in, that hundreds of scientists all contributed towards over decades.. which is a bit of a ref flag to say the least
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_W._Malone
Seemingly quite a respected / senior scientist a few years ago
I guess either he simply reads the data differently and is stating his beliefs or he's found an easy money train to ride...
Perhaps a bit of both
From his own website... so presumably his stated rational for his current stance

Does all sound a bit tin foil hat though
He's really lost the plot with Covid
truly a hero

That piece of garbage can always broadcast live from Russia or Hungary if he wants to. It seems Tucker Carlson enjoyed his time in Eastern Europe on the last time he went there.
