Joe Rogan was never an important voice for anything. He’s a categorical dipshit. He has the moral compass of a windsock. He is impressed by any statement that’s even mildly astute, and latches onto ideas that are presented as such by whatever person he’s interviewing. The fact that so many people in the states are so into what he says is frankly a pretty damning indictment of my countrymen in general.
And yet he’s consistently had the largest podcast audience in the world for about a decade with tens of millions of loyal followers. “Important” doesn’t imply “good,” or “smart,” or “correct.” A tumor is important. Yes, he’s a moron and all the other things you said, but he’s also a massively important voice for whatever happens to rattle between his ears.
It’s a very important realization to have though. Now incorporate this vital information and make peace with your fallibility. Everyone is susceptible cognitive biases and it pays to know yours. Stay vigilant.
Yeah I know. But I fell for the belief that he was one of the good honest ones that was incorruptible for the longest time. Idk, he also could just be stupid.
My grandfather had an ugly dog. It died a long time ago and the world was a better and more beautiful place. My grandfather liked it, though, so I guess it wasn’t completely irredeemable.
There was a time before Andy Dick went off the deep end?
Dude gave drugs to his costar’s unstable wife, which led up to that costar’s death. And then told another costar “you’re next.” That kind of behavior doesn’t appear out of nowhere.
Literally just started a rewatch of NewsRadio like two days ago. Immediately struggled with my love for Phil Hartman and Dave Foley versus my hate for Andy Dick and Joe Rogan.
But at least Andy Dick did it in a hilariously bad not ruin the world just his own reputation and the times of everyone around him kind of way. Also I loved news radio when I was a kid.
Joe Rogan used to be an important voice for climate change. wtf happened.

To your point: when I shit my pants, I find myself in an urgent situation where the shit in my pants is the important part.
I stepped on a rusty nail once, and the nail was, very briefly, the most important thing in my life.
He’s an opportunist.
He didn’t change, opportunities change.
Yeah that’s what I kind of think. But I hate the realization that I’m just as susceptible to it as everyone else if it’s with someone I like.

capitalism corrupts, power corrupts, an excess of money corrupts

his dog is cute
All dogs are cute. Hitler had a cute dog.

The dog being “cute” to you is kinda not the thing that should define the dog. Would you say that kinda thing about humans?
He followed the money.
The money petrol interests put into his wallet.
That’s not how that phrase works
Bahahahaha
Amazing joke. No notes.
You know how hard it is to be a fan of the show NewsRadio? Joe Rogan and Andy Dick before they both went off the deep end.

Holy shit. That’s awful but darkly and deeply funny. Like cartoonishly evil.

I seem to recall that Andy Dick was a dick then, too. We just didn’t know about it yet.
