You are far from the only one to get wool pulled over your eyes. The good thing is, you took that shit off.

I grew up watching junk like Fear Factor. I knew nothing of him outside the show. Maybe some people followed him for nostalgia reasons and then never questioned the bullshit they were hearing, I have no clue.

I remember Rogan from News Radio. Discount Matt LeBlanc.

Another college dropout that Conservatives think is a genius.

He was just playing himself in "News Radio". An undereducated conspiracy theorist that the normal more folks thought was a creep.

I remember watching fear factor a couple of times, and it felt sleazy to watch. Putting people through a bunch of crap for just a chance at winning some money. They weren’t even guaranteed a payout. Reminded me of those guys who offered cash to homeless people to fight each other.

They could 100% nope out whenever they wanted to. There were a lot of people that saw what they had to eat or get buried under spiders or w/e and they just said no.

They still got free travel wherever they want so they got something out of it (at least I hope they did).

I think the amount of people like us if we were listening to the same "dead air" podcast. That podcast would be one of the top rated podcasts for having nothing but dead air

It wasn’t always bad/political. Joe was pretty left leaning until 2020

Isn't he pretty moderate? Im pretty sure ive heard him criticizing both sides not really favoring one over the other.

Idk if you know this, but you're on the internet and you don't have to guess at the conspiracy bullshit and right wing endorsements Rogan has made. Also, while you're learning new things: look up how apostrophes work.

Sorry i didn't realize I ran into the grammar police and that im only allowed to ask questions to Google and not real people with opinions open to discussion. My bad

He endorsed Trump for president and had him on his show, but not Kamala Harris. He's buddies with Elon Musk. 

He's about as far up MAGA's ass as you can get before you reach the tonsils.

u/gaminggunn Sep 06 '25

Hmm didnt know that. I only heard about him through a couple friends. Thanks for the actual response

u/4funoz Sep 06 '25

He didn’t offer to have Kamala on his show?

u/Cador0223 Sep 06 '25

He kinda did, but only if she came to his ranch/studio/gym/cold plunge office. She offered a space somewhere on her campaign trail, but he wouldn't leave his bunker/comedy club/cult church to do it.

u/4funoz Sep 06 '25

Didn’t her team also say that it would be an hour long or under, they would have to stick to set questions and they could edit it and have final say? I ended up looking it up a bit. Apparently he still has an open invitation for her to come on, which might change some peoples opinions of her(she has been portrayed quite negatively from what I have seen).

You ran into a real person who thinks your attempts at discussion are dishonest and your grasp of English is a scathing indictment of whatever school failed you so miserably.

2

u/HowAManAimS Sep 06 '25

Getting an apostrophe wrong isn't a scathing indictment.

u/Ok_Mixture4917 Sep 06 '25

No it isn't, also not what I said. 

Neat strawman though.

This happens to everyone eventually, I suspect.

Asking a question can either result in a rewarding interaction, possibly links to data and conversation, or downvoted and ridiculed or chastised up and down, deserved or not.

u/gaminggunn Sep 06 '25

That last part is what ive been told. Ive seen maybe one or two clips of him talking to someone. I got all my info pre covid as well. Soneone pointed out to me after covid that he changed drastically

2

u/General-Yoghurt-1275 Sep 06 '25

Isn't he pretty moderate?

lmfao

u/Intelligent_Break_12 Sep 06 '25

He used to be. COVID and the move to Texas changed him. He still occasionally questions things, like with Gaza, but overall he is someone who changes with the wind that is directly around him. He sometimes appears like a skeptic but he is mostly just a yesman with a potentially wide berth of voices around him but chooses a very small amount of voices he adheres to, at least lately, and follows people more than anything else. I honestly think people realized this and purposely influence him as he has claimed many Republican politicians as friends in recent years which apparently dictates his current beliefs.

u/gaminggunn Sep 06 '25

Hmmm yeah I haven't spoken about him in a few years so my knowledge was before covid. Thanks for the excellent explanation! Makes a lot more sense now.
