Rogan is a truly horrible human being. I absolutely cannot stand that asshole. He is the walking and talking Dunning-Krueger Effect. He is a washed up comedian who moved on to making people eat disgusting stuff on a shitty reality show to thinking he is some sort of brilliant host.
He’s like the unfortunate result of Jerry Springer, Rush Limbaugh and Morton Downey Jr spreading idiocy and bullshit everywhere, setting the stage
Even before that, Rogan’s show is modeled off Coast to Coast AM, a show well known for pseudoscience and conspiracy theories.
Coast to Coast at least made it fun.
Morton Downey Jr
I completely forgot about him.
Let’s all forget him again, he doesn’t deserve remembrance
I feel like somone correct me if I’m wrong, that early on he was decent. He listened and had good long interviews.
But, somewhere along the way he started to like the smell of his own farts and things when down the crazy hole.
I share that opinion. The shat began a bit before the spotify deal, but after it was downhill via log ride off shit mountain.
You probably grew out of it and realized he was shit all along.
I listened to him for a while, then found him complaining more and more about the left. That was mostly fine since he complained about conservatives as well and he supported Bernie Sanders, but I got fed up with him because he wouldn’t have liberals on the show to discuss the topics he clearly knew nothing about yet loved to bring up constantly.
He’s a guy who touts himself on being open, curious, and willing to learn, but what I found was the exact opposite. Any time there was a guest on his show who disagreed with something and the conversation turned into more of a debate, he’d say that having that person on was a mistake. Ultimately I stopped listening when he proved himself to be a blowhard hypocrite.
That idiot is the reason I dropped Spotify. I don’t want my money funding such a dipshit.
I also hate how he’s appropriated the acronym “JRE” from programming to a right wing conspiracy show. Say what you want about Java but it doesn’t deserve this.
The Java Runtime Experience podcast
Huh, ‘JRE’ is a reaction YouTuber to me.
I can’t believe I used to listen to him lol he got me with the scientist interviews… Like not the Egyptian aliens types, but people like Neil Degrass Tyson.
Then I listened enough to realize he’s a jackass right winger pretending that liking weed puts him on the left somehow, kinda like Bill Maher. Yeah yeah Bill you’re tolerant of “the gays” and you like weed, but he’s center right if anything, again pretending he’s on the left for his ratings.
I think if you’re a right winger who smokes weed, that makes you a libertarian, not a liberal.
If you think Libertarians and Republicans aren’t the same thing, you’re smoking too much weed.
he’s a jackass right winger pretending that liking weed puts him on the left somehow
I think you miss interpreted this line.
You know there’s a big difference between a liberal and libertarian, right?
Libertarian - an advocate or supporter of a political philosophy that advocates only minimal state intervention in the free market and the private lives of citizens.
Liberal - a supporter of policies that are socially progressive and promote social welfare.
Ok, I’ll spell it out for you. Joe Rogan is the one claiming to be a liberal or at the very least, a centrist. Not me and not the person you were originally replying to. Everyone here knows Joe Rogan is a libertarian.
Oh, thank you so much. I don’t follow the whole Joe Rogan thing so I wasn’t familiar with him claiming to be a liberal. I thought he stuck to the conservative/libertarian thing and wasn’t trying to convince people he was something else. Thanks! TIL

hmm its almost like joe rogan is an aboslute idiot and the real life embodiment of a thumb-thumb from spykids
Maybe Rogan needs a new, younger, fresher host on that show.
Rogan should step down as we see his mental facilities are in decline.
oh, cruel ironic fate - they’re called faculties!
;)
It’s not just his faculties, but the entire facilities that keep him running!
It’s depressing to watch a thumb get old.
Here’s a direct excerpt from the article OP linked:
Shortly after the exchange during the show, “The Joe Rogan Experience” producer Jamie Vernon cut in to correct Rogan. Vernon played a clip that Rogan had cited, which was in fact a video of Biden mocking “stable genius” Trump for the comments about airports in the Revolutionary War. Then Vernon ran a video clip of Trump’s “Salute to America” remarks from July 4, 2019, in which the former president praised Americans’ military efforts in the war against Great Britain.
In the speech, Trump said in part, “Our army manned the air, it rammed the ramparts, it took over the airports, it did everything it had to do, and at Fort McHenry, under the rockets’ red glare, it had nothing but victory.” (Meanwhile, Fort McHenry was the site of a key American victory over the British navy in the War of 1812, not the Revolutionary War.)
To that, Rogan responded, “Oh, so [Trump] fucked up.” Nickal commented, “That’s the thing about media these days. You gotta look into it.”
I dont watch the podcast, but please: let’s exhibit some media literacy while we criticize others for their supposed lack of media literacy.
Yeah it’s the “media”. You have the #1 podcast in the world spreading misinformation. Unfunny fuck nugget prick Rogan.
It’s only misinformation if it’s consumed as a soundbite devoid of context. And since you’re commenting on my comment highlighting the context, I am legitimately confused as to your issue. If near real-time fact-checking on the very same podcast episode isn’t enough for you: then you may just have an issue with conversational podcasts in general. Stick to printed news.
Not happening here, once people get a hate boner for someone or something… they’re full on blind to the nuance.
I keep getting videos of Rogan pushed on YouTube, while I constantly mark them as “not interested” of report them as “fake news”. He’s like a horrible decease you never can get rid of.
YouTube needs content filters
Disease?
Wishful thinking
I made a typo because I’m dyslectic and I got corrected. The sentence was “he is like a disease-” and your response is “wishful thinking”? So, you wish he was like a disease? I kinda feel like he already is, so your wish came through. But to what you meant, it’s really horrible to have a disease, wishing that onto the people you oppose makes you as bad as they are. I just wish he would see the harm he does, he would see the world as it really is instead of his vision which is through very polarized glasses, and I wish he would stop spreading his BS.
I think they meant that your typo: “decease” is the wishful thinking. As in they wish he was deceased.
You wish he would die?

Is that so far-fetched?
Your mistake is interacting with them at all.
The algorithms know that people who dislike something enough to click a button will be primed to potentially do something like hate-watch or open the video to leave a comment, etc so by interacting you are telling it you were emotionally affected.
The best way to avoid getting suggested videos like this is to completely ignore them. Do not open it, do not click any buttons on it or hover over it long enough for the preview to start.
Eventually you’ll only see suggestions like that if you are a regular watcher of videos on the opposite end of the spectrum.
I’ve been telling YouTube not to recommend these types of videos and it seems to work well with minimal effort on my part. When I look at the homepage, it’s all cooking and math videos, and it’s been that way for years now.
Alternatively, I tell YouTube to not recommend a channel and it… doesn’t recommend that channel.
Doesn’t work with shorts, then you just get pushed junk
Ironically, you marking them as not interested and reporting them probably counts as engagement to show those videos more often.
It shouldn’t, I don’t see them anymore by choosing the don’t recommend this channel to me anymore. And I do bij so watch a ton of bjj videos, so anytime some channel pops up that uses his clips it’s recommended to me. Still his own channel and that main clipping channel are things I haven’t seen in a long time.
This perfectly showcases the multi tier belief system from Joe and his goons…
- If Biden says it, he is mentally done
- If the orange turd says it, the bro slipped
“Muh team no matter wut. 'Murica.”
Always has been
Joe Rogan calling people out over mental fitness is a prime example of a pot calling a kettle black.
A kettlebell black. (I kid, I kid.)
Prime example of a pot… cough cough cough hack hack cough haaaack cough cough cough… pot calling… haack haaack… black. Huuaaah. It’s just allergies.
Not directly related beyond steaming and podcasting apparently rotting people’s brains, but I just watched a stream where a guy tried to cough up a lung and then said “it’s not allergies, chat, it’s just hay fever”
Like, damn bro. You’re about to get clowned on by thirteen year olds with more medical knowledge than you.
In case I’m not the only one who didn’t know what hay fever is:
Hay fever is the common name for allergic rhinitis.
Hay fever is caused by the nose and/or eyes coming into contact with environmental allergens, such as pollens (grasses, weeds or trees), dust mite, moulds and animal dander.
Fuckin lmao
(E: forgot the link)
It is crazy how large of an audience he has. When he clearly worships Trump, his reaction to finding out it was Trump’s words said enough. Idol worship is an ugly thing.
Like many other public figures, his rhetoric matches the need for confirmation bias among his listeners. It’s a business based on telling your contingency what they want to hear. Cletus and Merle are your football fans for team MAGA. They’ll be on your side whether you win or lose.
I don’t think he worships Trump. Unless of course you can provide evidence that he’s even in favor of Trump.
You won’t though.
Dude is a full moron.
He seemed significantly more intelligent when he was doing more DMT.
Can you explain this idiom to me?
Full moron is more than partial moron.
A partial moron might believe whatever he’s told but then have a “wait a minute, something’s not right here” moment. A full moron doesn’t have that moment and spreads the problem to others.
Another example would be a “leopards are my face” moment. A partial moron would be surprised that approaching a leopard caused them bodily harm but learn not to do it again. A full moron would sue the leopard but do it again with their child.
Another example: a partial moron gets directions, sees the distance, thinks a half tank of gas will get them there and back despite prior trips showing the opposite. But they have a Jerry can in the trunk. A full moron wouldn’t have the Jerry can and buys a bigger vehicle with a larger engine because it comes with a bigger gas tank and then blames the liberals when they still run out of gas.
Partial = recoverable, full = hopeless
Holy crap, I read it as full moon. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
JustZ is only saying Joe Rogan is a moron. The term “full moron” isn’t a commonly used phrase on its own, but the word “full” followed by an adjective or noun can be used to enhance the descriptive word, such the quote “never go full retard” from the comedy movie “Tropic Thunder”. The context is that an actor played a person with a mental disability in a movie, but they tried too hard, and the performance was uncomfortable for some people.
I feel compelled to note that I don’t condone using hateful or disparaging language when describing the differently abled.
They knew exactly what it meant but were trying to use it as some sort of gotcha.
You gave a really good explanation though, I’d forgotten it was from Tropic Thunder. We were actually just talking about that movie a few days ago, I should watch it again.
No, I thought it said full moon.
The problem is, none of his listeners will care, he’ll go back to blasting Biden tomorrow and supporting Trump. And his listeners eat it up…
Look about how serious he was talking about Biden with his anecdotes and shit and how dismissive he was of Trump. He’s a prick.
Fuck Joe Rogan. He is Gwenyth Paltrow for men.
His candles smell like dick.
He steams his asshole and then smells it.
Toxic meathead does not belong anywhere near a microphone. Yet here we are.
A dude who sincerely believes the moon landing was faked.
I all for the Rogan-bashing, but had he not since admitted he’s seen enough evidence to realize that the moon landing was real?
However, knowing full well that he, although he considers himself a “sceptic” (in the modern sense of the word, where no actual scepticism is involved), was taken in by a conspiracy theory made up of whole cloth, it doesn’t make him the least bit less likely to fooled by other conspiracy theories – probably because they, mistakenly, makes him feel smart.
He may have, I’m not sure.
I watched a couple of episodes years ago. One with Wim Hof, and one with a guy talking about Terrence Mckenna. They were interesting enough, but I never got hooked. It sounds like the show has gone downhill from there.
He really fell into the alt-right “manosphere” crowd after Covid restrictions started rolling out I think. Those really put a damper on his two business and personal interests outside of his podcast: stand up comedy, and MMA. It was so much he moved his studio from LA to somewhere in Texas where they obviously didn’t give a shit about Covid.
He jumped the shark well before, but with COVID and the aftermath he straight up used the sharks for waterskis.
Well what do you know? Those are also the only episodes I ever went through. Maybe also one about Bitcoin… was Andreas Antonopoulos ever a guest? But don’t answer that, it’s not important, what’s important is that this toxic meathead detoured into q-anon territory, then went off like an excrement bomb on the internet, not unlike infowars a few years earlier, and I have no interest in either, may they rot far away from my mind.
To be fair Rogan is a raging dipshit that was not quite as funny as Andy Dick. How he achieved an actual following is mind boggling.
There are a lot of raging dipshits to make an audience out of.
Yeah fair point
Add Jon lovitz to the mix, and News Radio really spawned some characters. Yikes.
This strikes me as a particularly ahistoric take. I’d like to make two points in that regard.
News Radio was the biggest gig yet for both Joe Rogan and Andy Dick, who played main characters on the show from the start. Jon Lovitz was already well known from his time on Saturday Night Live – arguably a higher-profile position than the one he took on News Radio.
Jon Lovitz wasn’t spawned by News Radio, is my first point. To the contrary: Lovitz was brought onto the show as an established big-name talent after (his friend and fellow SNL alum) Phil Hartman died.
And how did Phil Hartman die? Phil Hartman was shot and killed by his wife, Brynn Omdahl, who struggled with substance abuse. According to Lovitz, Andy Dick was said to have shared cocaine with her at a Christmas party at Hartman’s house.
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/lovitz-speaks-out-on-dustup-with-andy-dick/
“[Andy] was just complaining and really giving me a hard time for no reason. Phil told me that they had a Christmas party and Andy was doing cocaine and he gave it to Phil’s wife Brynn, who had been sober for 10 years. So Andy said to me, ‘Well, you shouldn’t be here,’ and I said, ‘Well, I wouldn’t be here if you hadn’t given Brynn coke in the first place.’”
After this on-set exchange, Lovitz and Dick were said to have made up and were able to work professionally together on News Radio. Later, however, when Lovitz was out at a restaurant, Dick came over to his table and invoked his ostensible involvement with Hartman’s murder:
“He’s standing there with liqueur dripping down his chin and he says, ‘I put the Phil Hartman hex on you, you’re the next one to die,’” said Lovitz. “And he’s smiling, and my blood just went to my head. I wanted to smash him, but if I hit him he would have gone flying into the table behind him. He was really drunk.”
My second point is that, while Jon Lovitz maybe be a “character,” he’s an entirely different class of character than Andy Dick. (Or Joe Rogan, for that matter, just to pretend this whole long reply still has something to do with the actual OP topic.)
I appreciate the historical tome. I was simply enjoying some Christmas Eve cups of kindness and made a casual remark that I found marginally humorous with no anticipation that there seems to be a News Radio historical society out there.
I do not disagree with anything you said though I’m particularly bewildered with the depths you went with it all.
I never heard of Lovitz being a dick…hell, never heard anything about him at all after that Critic show he did.
Joe Rogans mental decline in the last few years is astonishing.
“Joe Rogans truth is recently revealed.”
FTFY
