Joe Rogan

I suspect that Rogan is just an anti-woke guy, he wants to be contrarian because it's cool. I could be wrong but he doesn't strike me as someone that is dumb but someone that is smart enough to understand how he can make his podcast continuously popular.

Clutching at straws here mate. Literal quotes from the meathead himself from the very same interview:
  • My thing is, you didn't give birth.
  • Should the dad be able to take work off too? Should a dad be able to take off 3 months to take care of the kid?
  • If I was an employer, and I had a guy who worked for me, who wanted to take three months off because his wife gave birth, I'd be like: "What the feck are you talking about, Mike?"
  • If you have someone who has a critical role in your company, and it's a man, and the man's wife gives birth, and then the man wants to take three months off and wants you to pay him, you'd be like: "What?"
It is very clearly his own opinions. He also goes on to belittle Germany for having more equal maternity/paternity leave rights. He is a complete tool.

Not at all i just don't take what a professional comedian says for face value, same crap that chapelle is dealing with.

I listened to the full podcast yesterday, i'm well aware of what is and isn't said.

I can also see his point if you truly believe they are his views in some aspects, doesn't mean i agree with them or going to shout he's a moron from the rooftops.

I've yet to meet an "anti Joe Rogan fan". I've met people who don't like Joe Rogan, though :p

I know many cool and decent people who like Joe Rogan. I just tried to explain his most avid defenders. Based on what I've seen, they fall into one of those groups(although I've only seen Group 3 online, but that is also the smallest of them. For obvious reasons).

Yeh, I quite like Joe...but maybe that's because I was more of a listener in the past. Not heard much since he crossed to Spotify!
 
Everyone knows someone like Rogan who's forever compensating with perceived masculine traits. Acting like he's some warrior by working out, getting in a sauna and doing the hardest job in the world - stand up comedy. A overly dissenting voice to anything perceived as making life easier. The dude was too much of a warrior for covid and did a week in construction - he is hard as feck.

It summed him up for me when he asked bill burr did the meat make him more aggressive.

I don't think he can hide behind being a comedian in these instances. His podcast is not a two hour comedy show. They actually discuss topics of substance, and he makes his opinion known to a very large following that listens to him on these topics (for whatever reason). And again, he cannot just keep saying 'Don't listen to me, I'm just a comedian' after spewing falsehoods for an hour. He should take some responsibility.

I have no issue calling him a moron, when his positions are moronic. Saying men shouldn't take paternity leave because they didn't give birth is moronic. Advocating using Ivermectin for covid without a shred of medical evidence is moronic. Telling young people not to get vaccinated for covid is moronic.

The irony of him being upset at people laughing at him over Ivermectin....

I've watch the highlight episodes loads but I've never been able to sit and watch the whole thing through. The build up to the trial on the On Cinema show as amazing. He also did a hour long show of bad stand up

Genuinely one of the funniest sets I have watched. He is a genius when you think of how hard this would be to do.
 
I decided to put on the Snopp Dogg episode, because I thought it might be funny. Got about 10 minutes in and Joe started talking about Charlie Murphy and how he was a such a man because he did martial arts.

Apart from being horribly cringeworthy, I must have heard him talk about Charlie Murphy about 50 times previously.
 
I don't get his popularity. I only see clips now and again but he comes as a kind of edgy nihilist teenager acting contrarian to come across like he's got some higher level enlightenment.

Rogan’s an Alt-Right gateway drug.

Maybe unintentionally because he supported the initial Trump campaign and second on only because he thought it was the best out of two bad choices. But politically he’s pretty neutral.. if people listen to him and not the sound bites don’t think they’d view him as extreme

Andrew Wakefield is a doctor, I don't really understand your question. People have all sorts of reasons to believe crazy shit; theyre crazy, they get rich, they get famous.

looks like he's just on the grift train to me

I mean he's claiming to invent something he played a very small roll in, that hundreds of scientists all contributed towards over decades.. which is a bit of a ref flag to say the least

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_W._Malone

Seemingly quite a respected / senior scientist a few years ago

I guess either he simply reads the data differently and is stating his beliefs or he's found an easy money train to ride...

Perhaps a bit of both

From his own website... so presumably his stated rational for his current stance

https://www.rwmalonemd.com/
I used to believe that the FDA, NIH, and CDC were working for the people, not big pharma. I thought that if we could just re-purpose already known, safe drugs for emerging infectious diseases, we could quickly find ways to reduce the death rate. I thought that drug and vaccine development were regulated by the Federal government for the common good. What I have learned over the last two years is that regulatory capture of the federal government has warped and shaped the work of Congress and Federal agencies to such an extent that they no longer represent what is in the best interests of the nation, the world, and humanity. The more I have expressed data-based concerns about what is happening with the vaccines, the US Federal and WHO responses, the more I have been censored, defamed, and subjected to various forms of character assassination by big tech and legacy media.

Does all sound a bit tin foil hat though
