Joe Rogan gives one of his dumbest interviews ever

I've never understood the appeal of Rogan. He has done well for himself attracting a lot of big names on his podcast but to me he always comes off as a poor man's Howard Stern at best.

In a recent interview with former CIA officer, Mike Baker, he goes off about not believing in polls and jumps on the "Biden is mentally compromised" bandwagon. I mean just because you don't understand how polling works, doesn't mean it's useless and polls change to reflect the current mood. His drivel about polls and Biden start at the 12:05 mark.

He's a weird combination of "so open minded your brain fell out of your skull" and "so cynical you cannot see reality when it's right in your face"

I grant him the provisional conclusion (on my limited exposure) that he isn't a white nationalist or fascist, but he sure as hell is a "useful idiot" for those people.

Talks big, talks tough, has money, sells an image. It's just about toxic masculinity instead of uber wealth, but it's the same tune, just in a different key.

Those folks will always appeal to a certain set of people.

People actually think Joe Rogan is a right winger. What a crazy time we live in when people do not listen to the words people say.

This is a site whose purpose is to boost Democrats, not tear them down with months-old, questionable videos which ridicule our candidate. What's your agenda?

As well as a disgusting misogynist, racist, transphobe, and homophobe.

He is also a shit MMA commentator.

Why are you carrying water for this waste of airtime?

Carries major water for literal fascists, LOVES MRA hate groups, never met an Alt Right CT he doesn't love. Huge Woo believer.

How he has treated Cris Cyborg and women MMA journalists is criminal.

He is also the worst MMA commentator for a major promotion. He sucks.

It is beyond me why some of you on here lauded him.

The fact that we are talking about him here proves that it works and is getting his name out there. It's the Howard Stern radio model, but they shouldn't be considered reputable news sources or a trusted scientific opinion any more than a celebrity athlete or singer is or my mailman or they lady at the photo department at CVS.

He has the #1 podcast in the world, and just inked huge deal with Spotify. He has also been very well known for years in sports circles because of the UFC.

I don't know if ever saw the Howard Stern movie Private Parts...but there's a scene in there where they are looking at demographics, and I'm paraphrasing, but they said over half of his audience hated him and despised everything he said, but they were actually the ones who listened LONGER because he was so controversial that they wanted to stay on and hear what crazy thing he says next.

You think much of DU listens to Rogan?? I doubt many people here do, but the more we talk about him the more people here are getting worked up and are likely to tune in to his new Spotify show to hear how horrible this guy they've heard so much about is. It is genius marketing and Spotify is going to make a billion dollars on this deal.
