    Shit is going sideways for Rogan and Spotify. 

    This is devastating for Spotify because original content is the only thing that keeps them from being overrun by Apple and Amazon.  And they plunked down 100mm for Rogan.

    i watched his apology video this morning. comes off sounding like he is sorry, but i can't say that it is not more of a "sorry i got caught" than an actual apology. i think he sees that he could potentially lose his podcast and is scrambling to do damage control.

    there is a lot of light on him now and he knows he needs to watch what he says. maybe he will have to stop smoking weed before doing the podcast.


    I’ve been very critical of jr but as long as he apologizes for this and his podcasts are clearly labeled for inaccurate content, he deserves another chance. And yes, he needs I watch what he says. I’m trying, Nick
    I agree. People seem to only forgive people they like. NYC mayor just got caught saying cracker. But it was way back in 2019 before it was wrong. I guess. People are allowed to make mistakes. His apology seemed genuinely sincere. I think it’s Time to get off his D. Until the next Twitter mega clip 
    i don't think you can decide when it is time to get off of him. people are pissed off at him and are waking up and making it known. spotify is in the tank right now.

    my problem is he knowingly spreads misinformation on his podcast. he is talking about things he knows very little about, or knows just enough about to be dangerous. he has people that are so loyal to him they will do exactly what he recommends, just like trump with the bleach drinking. he has said and advocated things that no doubt have resulted in people getting covid, prolonging their symptoms, and potentially dying. that, above anything else he has done in his entire life, is unforgivable in my eyes.

    also, the arrogance with which he freely spreads wrong information and nonchalance that he uses to defend himself almost makes me think he is doing it on purpose. like spreading disinformation.
    We get it. You hate him. 
    and you love him. we get it.
    Expecting a ”Personallyyyy I don’t listen to or care for Joe Rogan… BUT… ”
    It’s annoying but I have to say it. Because if I defend him I must be a huge fan. If I critique anything on the left I must be a trump voter. It’s the same cycle here over and over. 
    What's the defense for using the N word consistently?
    That’s not for me to answer. He addressed it. You either accept his response or you don’t. Forgive him or don’t. Forgiveness seems to only depend on if you (general) like the person or not.

    I believe in the market.  I believe he's a moron for thinking he could say those things in this century.  What is he apologizing for? Did he not know you don't say that or did he not give AF?  The apology makes no sense to me.  Maybe you can explain it better. 

    So if and when he goes down,  I say "c'ya".

    Much like Trump, the first response to anything that appeases the radical right is never reevaluated or scrutinized by the brainwashed so what hits the ear first is what sticks.  Trump is a master at this type of deception which is what makes him so evil.  So apologies mean nothing after the fact.  Apologies are for the employer, advertisers who pay the bills, and to save your own ass. 
    If all else fails he and Trump can always work at Fox.

    So, do you forgive him?
    Not that it matter but yea. I do. I also forgave my mayor this week for using the word “cracker” in 2019. I’m on a streak  
    So you believe he used the N-word like just a few years back without realising/knowing it was something one should not do?

    Or what exactly are you forgiving?
    Wtf does it matter? Who the fuck am I? Ask Kelly slater, the rock , John Stewart etc. ask them. 
    But you said you forgive him. You must know what you forgive and why you do it? Right?

    Even if you have absolutely never listened to him.

    i watched his apology video this morning. comes off sounding like he is sorry, but i can't say that it is not more of a "sorry i got caught" than an actual apology. i think he sees that he could potentially lose his podcast and is scrambling to do damage control.

    there is a lot of light on him now and he knows he needs to watch what he says. maybe he will have to stop smoking weed before doing the podcast.


    I’ve been very critical of jr but as long as he apologizes for this and his podcasts are clearly labeled for inaccurate content, he deserves another chance. And yes, he needs I watch what he says. I’m trying, Nick
    I agree. People seem to only forgive people they like. NYC mayor just got caught saying cracker. But it was way back in 2019 before it was wrong. I guess. People are allowed to make mistakes. His apology seemed genuinely sincere. I think it’s Time to get off his D. Until the next Twitter mega clip 
    i don't think you can decide when it is time to get off of him. people are pissed off at him and are waking up and making it known. spotify is in the tank right now.

    my problem is he knowingly spreads misinformation on his podcast. he is talking about things he knows very little about, or knows just enough about to be dangerous. he has people that are so loyal to him they will do exactly what he recommends, just like trump with the bleach drinking. he has said and advocated things that no doubt have resulted in people getting covid, prolonging their symptoms, and potentially dying. that, above anything else he has done in his entire life, is unforgivable in my eyes.

    also, the arrogance with which he freely spreads wrong information and nonchalance that he uses to defend himself almost makes me think he is doing it on purpose. like spreading disinformation.
    We get it. You hate him. 
    and you love him. we get it.

    It’s annoying but I have to say it. Because if I defend him I must be a huge fan. If I critique anything on the left I must be a trump voter. It’s the same cycle here over and over.

    Please don’t think I’m “mobbing” you just trying a different approach.  Would you be offended if a black person called you a cracker?  I would not be.  The two terms aren’t even in the same spectrum.  My husband was often called a cracker in prison but only by the convicts who liked him and respected him.  It was like a term of endearment, kind of how they call each other my ni**a.  Did my husband ever call them ni**er?  Absolutely not.  Was it ok for him to say “what’s up my ni**a…yes to those he had that type of relationship with.  
    Remember to always think about the situation and the context when these words are used. 

    Rogan should have learned when he was a child to not use that word.  The cycle only ends when someone decides it’s time to stop by not allowing our/their children to repeat the same mistakes.

    https://pagesix.com/2022/02/05/joe-rogan-apologizes-for-repeated-use-of-the-n-word-in-viral-clip/
    i watched his apology video this morning. comes off sounding like he is sorry, but i can't say that it is not more of a "sorry i got caught" than an actual apology. i think he sees that he could potentially lose his podcast and is scrambling to do damage control.

    there is a lot of light on him now and he knows he needs to watch what he says. maybe he will have to stop smoking weed before doing the podcast.


    I’ve been very critical of jr but as long as he apologizes for this and his podcasts are clearly labeled for inaccurate content, he deserves another chance. And yes, he needs I watch what he says. I’m trying, Nick
    I agree. People seem to only forgive people they like. NYC mayor just got caught saying cracker. But it was way back in 2019 before it was wrong. I guess. People are allowed to make mistakes. His apology seemed genuinely sincere. I think it’s Time to get off his D. Until the next Twitter mega clip 
    i don't think you can decide when it is time to get off of him. people are pissed off at him and are waking up and making it known. spotify is in the tank right now.

    my problem is he knowingly spreads misinformation on his podcast. he is talking about things he knows very little about, or knows just enough about to be dangerous. he has people that are so loyal to him they will do exactly what he recommends, just like trump with the bleach drinking. he has said and advocated things that no doubt have resulted in people getting covid, prolonging their symptoms, and potentially dying. that, above anything else he has done in his entire life, is unforgivable in my eyes.

    also, the arrogance with which he freely spreads wrong information and nonchalance that he uses to defend himself almost makes me think he is doing it on purpose. like spreading disinformation.
    We get it. You hate him. 
    and you love him. we get it.
    Expecting a ”Personallyyyy I don’t listen to or care for Joe Rogan… BUT… ”
    It’s annoying but I have to say it. Because if I defend him I must be a huge fan. If I critique anything on the left I must be a trump voter. It’s the same cycle here over and over. 
    What's the defense for using the N word consistently?
    That’s not for me to answer. He addressed it. You either accept his response or you don’t. Forgive him or don’t. Forgiveness seems to only depend on if you (general) like the person or not. 
    So, do you forgive him?
    Not that it matter but yea. I do. I also forgave my mayor this week for using the word “cracker” in 2019. I’m on a streak  
    A black man referring to a "cracker" (someone who cracks a whip right?) is in no way in the same universe as a white man using the n word.
    Still wrong though. No? 
    Yeah he shouldn't have said it for sure. But it's just not comparable to the n word. 
    Sounds like you just forgive the people you like. If you forgive someone using the word cracker than you must forgive someone who repeatingly used the N-word while knowing it is something to not do. And who said that a white mans brain is superior to a black mans. 

    Man, you people on the left sure are something

    Honestly I haven't heard anything from Rogan's n word barrage that bothered me too much. Now the brain thing is fucked up for sure.

    And I can't say I like the NYC mayor.  I just don't think a black man calling anyone a cracker is anywhere close to a white guy using the n word.

    Please don’t think I’m “mobbing” you just trying a different approach.  Would you be offended if a black person called you a cracker?  I would not be.  The two terms aren’t even in the same spectrum.  My husband was often called a cracker in prison but only by the convicts who liked him and respected him.  It was like a term of endearment, kind of how they call each other my ni**a.  Did my husband ever call them ni**er?  Absolutely not.  Was it ok for him to say “what’s up my ni**a…yes to those he had that type of relationship with.  
    Remember to always think about the situation and the context when these words are used. 

    Rogan should have learned when he was a child to not use that word.  The cycle only ends when someone decides it’s time to stop by not allowing our/their children to repeat the same mistakes. 
    No way I’d be offended but I’m not easily offended. Everyone is different. And should an elected official talk like that? 
    Well first glad you wouldn’t be offended.
    is it ok for Biden to say “big fucking deal” to Obama after the affordable health care….no….or to call someone an SOB….no.  
    You can’t condemn Trump for his remarks and not condemn Biden.  If Trump will be known as the “cursing president” then so should Biden.  
    I get the feeling that they’ve all lost respect for themselves, their positions, the government, the entire process because that’s what the majority reacts to and votes for.  It’s the norm now. Sad…

    Good question. 
    Some how, I managed to have not heard that term used until a couple of years ago (yeah, I know, weird).  So anyway, when I first heard it, being a fan of all kinds of crackers (like last night, snacking on a delicious soft sheep cheese on La Panzanella Croccantini minis) I thought, "That sounds rather pleasant."  Call me a cracker and I'll very likely get the munchies.

    i have not. maybe a southern plantation owner in 1861 might have been.

    but like someone else above said, calling a white person a cracker is in no way similar to a white person calling an african american the n word.

    Shit is going sideways for Rogan and Spotify. 

    This is devastating for Spotify because original content is the only thing that keeps them from being overrun by Apple and Amazon.  And they plunked down 100mm for Rogan. 

    https://pagesix.com/2022/02/05/joe-rogan-apologizes-for-repeated-use-of-the-n-word-in-viral-clip/
    i watched his apology video this morning. comes off sounding like he is sorry, but i can't say that it is not more of a "sorry i got caught" than an actual apology. i think he sees that he could potentially lose his podcast and is scrambling to do damage control.

    there is a lot of light on him now and he knows he needs to watch what he says. maybe he will have to stop smoking weed before doing the podcast.


    I’ve been very critical of jr but as long as he apologizes for this and his podcasts are clearly labeled for inaccurate content, he deserves another chance. And yes, he needs I watch what he says. I’m trying, Nick
    I agree. People seem to only forgive people they like. NYC mayor just got caught saying cracker. But it was way back in 2019 before it was wrong. I guess. People are allowed to make mistakes. His apology seemed genuinely sincere. I think it’s Time to get off his D. Until the next Twitter mega clip 
    i don't think you can decide when it is time to get off of him. people are pissed off at him and are waking up and making it known. spotify is in the tank right now.

    my problem is he knowingly spreads misinformation on his podcast. he is talking about things he knows very little about, or knows just enough about to be dangerous. he has people that are so loyal to him they will do exactly what he recommends, just like trump with the bleach drinking. he has said and advocated things that no doubt have resulted in people getting covid, prolonging their symptoms, and potentially dying. that, above anything else he has done in his entire life, is unforgivable in my eyes.

    also, the arrogance with which he freely spreads wrong information and nonchalance that he uses to defend himself almost makes me think he is doing it on purpose. like spreading disinformation.
    We get it. You hate him. 
    and you love him. we get it.
    Expecting a ”Personallyyyy I don’t listen to or care for Joe Rogan… BUT… ”
    It’s annoying but I have to say it. Because if I defend him I must be a huge fan. If I critique anything on the left I must be a trump voter. It’s the same cycle here over and over. 
    What's the defense for using the N word consistently?
    That’s not for me to answer. He addressed it. You either accept his response or you don’t. Forgive him or don’t. Forgiveness seems to only depend on if you (general) like the person or not. 
    So, do you forgive him?
    Not that it matter but yea. I do. I also forgave my mayor this week for using the word “cracker” in 2019. I’m on a streak  
    So you believe he used the N-word like just a few years back without realising/knowing it was something one should not do?

    Or what exactly are you forgiving?
    i think back then joe was trying to be an edgelord on his podcast. any white person in america that has been alive since the 80s knows that you should never ever use the n word. i mean, why would any white person want to use that word unless they are racist, or want to be an asshole?

    Two months ago when we had to enforce masks again at my store I had a black lady call me a “punk ass white Ben affleck looking motherfucker” because I asked her to put on a mask. It was the highlight of my week honestly.

    i probably would have laughed if someone said that to me.

    there was a meme on social media a few years ago about all white guys looking like ben affleck, lol.

    I’ve been called a lot of things over the course of the pandemic when asking people to put on a mask. That was by far the winner. How could I get mad at that?
