    The sad thing is that Rogan is actually a pretty good interviewer. He just rarely has anyone on that I'm interested in. His interviews with Josh Homme and James Hetfield were great. The Bernie Sanders one was good too. But I don't give a crap about MMA or much else of what he brings to the table. 

    He's a great interviewer because he's stupid and has a lot of questions about how the world works

    Those interviews you mention were great because of the interviewee, not Rogan
    Questioning how the world - or life - works is not tantamount to stupidity.

    To me, stupidity is not questioning anything. Seems fruitless.

    A disclaimer for a comedian with a podcast? Doesn’t seem like his style (and I think it’s pandering to idiots).
    it's definitely not his style, you're right. he obviously doesn't seem to think people should take him seriously, even though he's had political figures on in the past.

    fast food coffee needs a disclaimer that its hot.

    prep h needs a warning label to not take orally

    plug in electrical device (hair dryers and the like) have a warning to not use in the tub


    Am very curious to know just how many times he's used the now overused excuse of "I'm just a dumb comedian" or " I'm just a stupid monkey" etc.. in order to walk back some statement on the podcast.

    why dont chu pull that up Jamie...

    this reads like a post by someone who's never watched his show and only judges by the controversies that are reported on.

    Yup. The evidence is pretty clear.

    well, as someone who used to watch his show, I can tell you it's not that simple. that's what kind of makes him a bit of a confusing character to me. 

    if all I went by was the controversies, sure, I'd probably agree with you.

    Rogan has had some amazing interviews on there and isn't for just idiots.  He's had Andrew Yang, Neil DeGrasse Tyson and Elon Musk to name a few.  I really did like these interviews.

    He is also a proponent of HGH, TRT and IV Hydration therapy also stem cell research.

    spoiler alert: Alex Trebek didn't know all the answers on Jeopardy, and Vanna White is notoriously bad at spelling 

    It takes a whole team of people to produce a show

    Rogan only has one person to blame for the controversies that surround him: himself

    this makes no sense in the current context. who said anything about it being the fault of one of his team?

    I haven’t seen him address “controversies” but once or twice. Those are
    brought about by others. 

    I get that some detest him; I’m not looking to change anyone’s mind. The opinions of others has never meant less to me (not directed toward you, personally; rather, to those who’ve made up their minds based solely on headlines or uninformed declarations).

    News Radio was a criminally underrated sitcom.

    If not for this thread, I would know nothing about what Joe Rogan has done since.

    it's interesting you say that, since I'm on twitter, and whenever he's trending, I see loads of people commenting "who's joe rogan? the news radio guy? he's still around?". I don't know how someone can be simultaneously super famous and yet unknown, especially people who are actively online.

    'a comedian'

    a terrible comedian.  His stand up is painful

    I don’t really like his stand-up, but it’s all subjective.

    Different strokes.

    i'd definitely agree with that. however, I saw him in vegas, and we really enjoyed that. But all of the stuff I've seen on netflix hasn't garnered even so much as a snicker.

    dumbass just posted a fear mongering video, complete with american flags, nazi imagery, and everything in between titled "Freedom", talking about vaccine mandates/passports and how they go against freedom and democracy and claims that the US is the first country in history to be a democracy. 

    god he's fucking stupid.
