A lot of people smoke too much weed.I’m amazed so many folk are still watching/listening to his podcasts.
I feckin love James Acaster
That's got nothing to do with it. There isn't enough weed in the world to make me listen to or tolerate this idiot.A lot of people smoke too much weed.
Was Rogan always a fecking idiot or was there a time he wasnt so bad?That's got nothing to do with it. There isn't enough weed in the world to make me listen to or tolerate this idiot.
I’m wondering if I should go into his archives to check. I’ve never listened to any of his stuff.Was Rogan always a fecking idiot or was there a time he wasnt so bad?
he's always been an idiotWas Rogan always a fecking idiot or was there a time he wasnt so bad?
Always as bad, just less openly right wing and more weed instead of alcohol. Bigfoot and moon landing vs anti-vaxx, fanboying crackpots and everyone vs conservatives and militaries, shitting on primologists vs the left, progressives and democrats. From a clown to a Rush Limbaugh treated as an independent or progressive.Was Rogan always a fecking idiot or was there a time he wasnt so bad?
Some of his older JRE's were awesome. They barely mentioned politics, some were super informative (especially the one with that sleep doctor from the UK), and you didn't really know how Rogan leant politically. He started doing that anti SJW stuff but he still mainly had liberal takes. Since 2016 and especially during covid he's basically become full on republican, to the point he's going directly after the Rush Limbaugh crowd. I used to watch all of his podcasts, but I haven't watched a single one in a couple years at least.Was Rogan always a fecking idiot or was there a time he wasnt so bad?
You saved me from having to reply the same thing.All this weed slander is lazy. Weed does not turn you into a gobshite who listens to that prick. These people are just morons.
In hindsight my post was probably a bit harsh.You saved me from having to reply the same thing.
He was one of the first people ever to do the sort of really long form interviews you can only do on a podcast. And he used to get fairly diverse and interesting guests. So there was definitely a time when his show was well worth a listen. I think he’s always been a bit of a div but he used to be a lot better than he is now at keeping his mouth shut and letting the guest have their say.Was Rogan always a fecking idiot or was there a time he wasnt so bad?
I've listened to 4 or 5 episodes of him. All are from 2017 till now. And in every episode he has called Trump an idiot and he has seemed very liberal and not very conservative in his views. I was shocked because I thought he was a full blown Trumpist, but from what i've heard that isnt the case.Some of his older JRE's were awesome.

There's a video out there of him basically cheering when Texas goes for Trump in 2020. He definitely hasn't gotten any less anti-woke/anti-PC since then.I've listened to 4 or 5 episodes of him.

He surely is a weirdo with some very weird takes, but not a clear republican in my eyes

He has also said that if Texas goes from red to blue it will be destroyed.There's a video out there of him basically cheering when Texas goes for Trump in 2020. He definitely hasn't gotten any less anti-woke/anti-PC since then.
On issue-per-issue basis you're right that Rogan has way more liberal views that he does conservative, but he does have a libertarian bent that can't be shaken off easily, a trait shared by many Republicans. His views on guns, for instance, are diabolical and have always been so. This is one of the reasons why he's often labeled as right-leaning.I've listened to 4 or 5 episodes of him.

See that's my recollection too. Since Trump got elected he went full wackoHe was one of the first people ever to do the sort of really long form interviews you can only do on a podcast.

His podcasts with fellow comedians are still pretty decent. He knows what he's talking about and has good chemistry with them. It's definitely got a lot less diverse, though. I swear he's been having the same set of grifting anti-woke types coming on his show every other month or so ever since Covid happened.See that's my recollection too.

I don't think he's changed, per se, but the podcast definitely has. I haven't listened to it in about 4/5 years, maybe. But when I did listen to it now and then, he genuinely did have some interesting guests on and it was a good listen. But the key thing here is, is that the show was never about him. The draw of it (at least for me and I think many others) was the guests. Now it seems like the complete opposite. The show is now very much about him and his views, and now you realize that "oh yeah, this guy is a bit of a dick head". Now maybe he always has been, but because I never really cared about what he thought and, generally speaking, he never used to make it too much about what he thought, it never bothered me.I am not sure Joe changed. I think that pre-trump/pre-covid, his ideas and many of his guest ideas were fairly fringe and non-threatening. Now that the stakes are much higher, and those fringe views are mainstream, it now becomes a much bigger problem.
last time I watched Bill Burr tore him apart over his covid nonsenseHis podcasts with fellow comedians are still pretty decent. He knows what he's talking about and has good chemistry with them.

I'm a huge Howard Stern nerd/ fan and the Artie Lange era has some of the best moments in Stern show history.I remember crying laughing at the Artie Lange episode despite having never heard of him previously.
He’s just a daft cnut. People generally call him that. Not a loon.He used to bring on a selection of really interesting guests and give them, which at the time was quite rare, a large amount of freedom to ramble on about interesting topics. Changing it up to be more his guests listening to him ramble on is the key change, and Rogan is not smart or interesting enough to make that work. His politics are a mish-mash of hot takes and surface level thought processes, but I think the claims that he is some sort of right wing loon are hyperbolic hysteria.
