And (not aiming this at you), who cares? I don’t agree with myself all the time and listen to a lot of commentators that I rarely agree with but appreciate them for their consistency or their insight.
Who cares if anybody watches a particular program? However, people that will clutch their fake pearls over an eight-second sound bite with no context are probably not the kind of people who were sitting through two and three hour discussions to begin with.
I’m a big fan of the JRE show. Rogan himself too. So, while I don’t like his stance on the recent Biden commentary, that isn’t enough to change my opinion of him in a meaningful way, or my interest in continuing to watch his show. I realize it’s a YMMV scenario. But I just wanted to add this.
I only watch about 5% of his videos, but I’ve never seen him act as an asshole. And I think his point here is fairly obvious and undeniable, even if you disagree with the hyperbolic way in which he delivers it.
I think he does a good job of keeping his assholeness in wraps.
I’m not saying he’s a super ass just a little ass.
Somehow he’s just fell into to the sweet spot of being with the UFC and also the podcast thing and so right place right time not because he’s anyone special.
Hmm, in what way is he an asshole? My only knock on him is sometimes he speaks and is just completely wrong and ignorant on the subject. But to be fair, his guests are some of the most knowledgeable people in their field so Joe is going to let some stupid stuff slip on so many hours of talking about complex stuff.
To me, he’s really polite as a host and lets his guests speak.
I use a backpack as my computer/work bag. The number of people who run into the backpack in a line is just crazy. Again, I’ve not experienced pushing through much, and line etiquette largely seems good, but goddamnit stop bumping into me! Well, they have since February or so, so…I’ll stop whining.
20 years ago I got the same impression as his while waiting for a connecting flight through Taipei. I think he was talking about this thing happening on an airplane so his impression on the situation could be of someone from another place.
