Rogan is what happens when the barbarian doesn’t have a miniature giant space hamster to whisper common sense into his ear.

Jr: Talks about how he picked up a dead bear to “harvest” it, left it in the back of his car for presumably hours, then dumped it in Central Park as a “joke” when he had to go to the airport

JoRo: That’s a man I can get behind

How does anybody take either of these people remotely seriously?

This is what all manly men do. (After overdosing on human growth hormones, testosterone, parasitic worms.) Hunt! Kill! Eat! Fuck (this bear, I’m tired, let’s put the rotting carcass in the park).

This gives him too much credit.

A barbarian khan would legitimately be trying to understand how the world works. Yes, sometimes he has a scientist on and he’s forced to learn things. But, other times he has a guest on so that that guest can promote their terrible worldview – see RFK Jr.

Last I checked, Joe loves eating tons of weird meat, hunting and cooking a bunch himself. I’m just saying, this may be the great brain worm uprising we were warned about.

I can’t wait for the tide to turn against Joe Rogan and he becomes another has-been. He’s done way too much damage on a lot of important issues.

Maybe, but maybe it’s worth telling the magats who can’t be saved to watch, they could possibly listen to the guy who covered people in magats for a living and not vote for Project Orange

I don’t know that Rogan is turning people off of Trump. I don’t know his personal stance because I pay zero attention to the man, but the kind of people he gives a platform to, and his own theories, I don’t think anyone would be better off after listening to him

He was interesting before the Spotify integration. When he had stoners on and just talked about aliens and shit. But then it got really weird with his hatred for California and all that arc.

I think the rot really set in before the Spotify stuff. I’ve never used Spotify, so anything exclusive to that platform is something I miss. I occasionally listened to his stuff before the Spotify deal, but I’d stopped listening long enough before that change that it didn’t change anything for me.

What seemed to change for me is that originally he really was just asking questions. He admitted that he was uninformed and he asked his guests questions on what they claimed to be experts about. Often his guests were real experts, but sometimes it was a conspiracy theorist. When it was a conspiracy theorist, often they looked dumb when Rogan asked a pretty basic question and the answer was ridiculous.

But, over time he went from honestly asking questions to “just asking questions”. Like, he had his mind made up and was instead trying to push some kind of ideology.

What made it especially bad is that his Spotify Exclusivity deal started around the same time as the Pandemic, and if he’s not an anti-vax nutjob, he’s at least nutjob adjacent.

He just admitted to leaving a bear cub carcass in Central Park with a bike on it in a scene like the bike hit and killed the bear cub. He had the bear cub in his car so he could skin (and I think eat it) but had to go to a diner and the next logical thing was leave the corpse in a park.

And a man who was only prevented by a red-eye flight from eating a roadkill bear he picked up in the morning and left undressed in his car all day is very much the type of person at high risk for brainworms.

Prions. Scary stuff. Could absolutely get it from exposure to brain matter from a bear or dear.

Stay away from brains. It can kill you most horribly.

He’s also got a worm in his brain.

That’s not a joke. It’s real, and it ate part of his frontal lobe, and it’s still in there, and it’s necrotic at this point.

He ran an anti mmr campaign in the American Samoas, resulting in him indirectly killing 85 children. He also drove his second wife to suicide due to his sex addiction.

RFK Jr doesn’t have a sex addiction, he’s just an asshole (and rapist), as proven when moved that dead wife out of her burial spot.

You have no idea. There’s genuinely too much crazy stuff to cover in a comment. Worth looking into purely for entertainment value.

I recommend starting with the recent dead bear story or the brain worm thing.

That’s why this move is weird to me. I assume Rogan would want Trump to win much more than Harris, but endorsing RFK Jr does nothing but convince his listeners (who are largely Trump voters) to peel off from Trump. The conservative ploy with RFK is not going to work out how they want it to.

Thank god Joe is too stupid to understand endorsing RFK will work against Trump.

I welcome his endorsement and hope he has RFK on his show 10 times before the election.
