I know of someone who says they listen to Joe Rogan podcasts (political I assume) but I don’t know what this means or what the connotations are. Both this person and I live in east asia.

      I’m as far left as it gets and I listen to Rogan sometimes. It’s just a podcast for entertainment. He has a large platform and nobody controls him, people don’t like that so people talk a lot of shit about him. Some if it’s warranted, some if it’s just shit from people that are repeating what they’ve heard about him and don’t actually listen. Listening to it doesn’t mean anything, it’s just entertainment with a lot of different guests. Some you might find interesting or funny, some boring, and some completely crazy. Guy can make money however he wants, people can listen to whatever they want.

        So go and listen to Matt Walsh then too? It’s the same sort of right wing conspiracy crap pushing.

          Do you think that’s all Joe Rogan is? Because he is a lot more than that. Mostly he is just a shitty comedian that has his comedian friends on and talk about the same shit over and over again.

          I never heard of Matt Walsh and I don’t care to know who he is. I don’t listen to any right wing conspiracy crap. Why would I waste my time on that nonsense?

      This site is overly left wing is the problem. People are getting down voted for saying it doesn’t mean anything bad and higher rated comments are taking this way too far for assumptions because they’re projecting their personal feelings of Joe.

      Joe Rogan is a mainstream celebrity with a very popular podcast. If you took all of the comments in this thread at face value (including your own) you’d think he was some sort of terrorist.
