Damn, how do I become a man now that I never subscribed to Joe Rogan's podcast in the first place. 🌝

    imagine the dumbest pothead from your high school, 40 years later, but still hasn't had any mental or emotional growth. that's what he sounds like, and also coincidentally what he is (no hate to my fellow potheads ftr, but there's a stereotypical tone and cadence and he's got it)

    Send them a letter registered mail with delivery confirmation that says only "unsubscribe' on a postcard. Have it be a really silly postcard, maybe about possum?

    Anyways that's how I got my ninth and tenth testicles (going for that baker's dozen!)

    I have a friend that started saying some weird stuff. I asked if he listened to rogan and they said that he's great and got defensive right away. I wonder if they ever figured out how I knew they listened to rogan or thought about it at all.

    Getting defensive means they know it's bad, but somehow still pretend to themselves it's not?

    Not always. For example, if I were "caught" eating pig meat in a Muslim country, I would probably be defensive. Without that actually meaning that I genuinely thought there were anything bad about eating pig meat.

    As an analogy, you can in theory be defensive about watching Joe Rogan without genuinely thinking there is anything wrong with Joe Rogan.

    A lot of people aren't aware of most things.

    It's a little different but there's an artist who got caught with a teenager. Sucks cuz I loved his music but when other people find out I've been to their shows I usually bring that part up. Most people who listen to him don't even know about it until I tell them. He just wasn't famous enough for it to pop in everyone's algorithm. People rely on tiktok, reels and shorts for most of their information. If it doesn't trend for them then they don't know about it. They also form opinions based off of their algorithm.

    It's not everyone but a concerning amount.

    I will say, though, if someone can clock that he’s a regular listener to a specific podcast after he tells them some (as he sees it) common sense opinions on everyday topics like dating, then that is worth taking note of and doing some introspection rather than getting defensive.

    If someone was telling me about their Alexa spying on them, and I threw out a “Mulch the rich”, and they replied “Oh, you listen to the MBMBaM podcast?” I would think “Shit, am I being brainwashed without realizing it? That podcast isn’t even political…”

    Nah, getting defensive means they ran out of talking points they've been fed and don't know how to think for themselves.

    It's like someone who plays EA sports game by themselves on easy and then throw the controller when they get smoked playing against another person

    Huh? Is this how people interpret defensiveness? That's wild to me. If someone told me they thought it was a good idea for them to steal all my stuff and kill me, for instance, you best believe I'm getting defensive. People get defensive when you attack something they want to defend.

    Edit: to be clear, all I'm saying here is that people can get defensive about something without secretly thinking its bad. I despise Joe Rogan and I think his listeners are dumb.

    lol, you just proved their point quite well. Your example implicitly makes the equation between listening to Joe Rogan with theft and murder, and it immediately being understood as such just by virtue of being asked “do you listen to Joe Rogan”?

    No, that's a misunderstanding. I am not making that equation at all. And even if that was the way you wanted to read it, you'd have it backwards. The person criticizing Rogan is the one I "would be equating" with theft and murder. But, of course, I'm not saying that either. You've simply misunderstood me.

    I was giving an example of someone saying something that attacks something that's important to me, namely, my property and my well-being. And using this to linguistically illustrate how, even though I definitely believe that my property and my well-being are something that's right for me to maintain, I might still get defensive about it when someone attacks it.

    In my example, the thief is the attacker and I am the defender. In the original context, the Rogan-criticizer is the attacker (of a belief, basically) and the Rogan-listener is the defender.

    My point was to show that people get defensive when something important to them is attacked, regardless of whether they're "pretending not to know its bad" or not. I certainly am not pretending not to know that my well-being is bad.

    I know its tempting to want to take every opportunity to dunk on the Rogan listeners and be like "lol, they're getting defensive because deep down they know they're wrong!", but that is just a nonsensical way of thinking. Especially when they've already given us a legitimate reason to dunk on them, which is that they like to listen to a moron.

    Does that help clarify what I was saying?

    From your responses so far, I don’t believe you, and it would be very hard to change my mind, I also really don’t fucking care. I was more addressing your response in general.

    It really is better to just walk away sometimes, friend. You’re really not doing yourself any favors. Take the L now, it will only get bigger and there is no W in this for you.

    This got a good chuckle out of me. I remember I hit that button when he interviewed some scientist for the third time asking if the moon landing was fake.

    I'm still shocked he kept gaining popularity. He's such an idiot.

    During lockdown we were getting slammed and I was working 10 - 11 hour shifts and was finishing all my podcasts and had run out of audiobooks. So just needing something to listen to while I worked I gave his show a shot. Listened to two episodes and then signed up for Tidal and just started listening to music instead.

  • The only channel I got into during lockdown was CrackingTheCryptic...2 of the best sudoku solvers from the UK just solve sudokus. Simon is hilarious in how he gets so tickled when he figures something out.

    The only podcast I actually listened to was the Always Sunny podcast, but that was when I bought a house and had to repaint a lot of rooms/ceilings. So I had hours upon hours of time to fill

    Joe Rogan is also responsible for why the stand up comic scene is so garbage now. It’s nothing but Joe Rogan style right wing bros, doing the same stupid style of comedy.

    I haven’t listened to it, but Jesus fucking Christ people who are performatively “carnivorous” and want you to know about it are infinitely more tedious and pathetic than the preachiest of vegans.

    Are they? I haven’t encountered any super preachy carnivores, just idiots that seem to thing it gives them +1 man points and a few true believers who literally only eat meat but my only exposure to that group is weird YouTubers. I have definitely met the preachy vegan archetype many times though and while I can’t take judgment from a dude eating a baconator seriously. The vegans definitely like to claim the high road and wield shame like a knife.

    I used to listen to Rogan a lot. Because IMO he is a great interviewer and he was great at creating a casual environment.

    His interviews with Burr and Chapelle were great, and I love the one with Tarantino.

    I did not follow on his UWF fights nor the conspiration videos, since I am not into that.

    I never had him as a valid political interlocutor so I did not disengage until he overtly supported Trump. Then the mask was completely off and it was obvious that he is a grifter.

    Rogan is a very skilled influencer, he is very smart and he has his guests doing the talking.

    When I disengaged, I notice how often he is recommended innsuggestions, exactly like the "WOKES OWNED" kind of wideos.

    He is another part of this machinery that the Elites have created to divide and conquer the plebes.

    Old rogan was fine. It was just silly stoners getting high and bsing about aliens and which animal would win in a fight. It was stupid but entertaining. He wasn't always a right wing dingus.
