That’s probably a good explanation. Pretty much everyone of these podcasting guru type people start of centrist or leftcenter then once they start to mix with the big leagues and make lots of money, all of the sudden they become right wing figures.
Joe Rogan, Lex Friedman, Andrew Huberman, Bret Weinstein
Man, I miss the r/decodingthegurus reddit sub where we could make fun of and expose these dipshits.
Joe Rogan has made it very clear over the years that he believes whatever people he knows tell him without bothering to check for himself to see whether or not it's true.
So he may have actually had no idea what Bernie's platform was.
There is no excuse at this point, anyone who still listens to his podcast should question it, and what others around them think of them. It's not positive...
Where’s all the Rogan apologists now? So many posts that discuss Rogan and his behavior rationalize his right-wing lean as not really right wing and act like he’s playing some sort of 3D chess to keep view counts up. Dude’s trash. This is who he is.
Dave Foley, Phil Hartman, Stephen Root and Maura Tierny had to spend months of their lives with both moron Joe Rogan and Andy Dick. It's amazing only Phil is dead and not by his own hand.
I remember when he got like famous (on the internet), and you could actually believe he wasn't a total tool (he had good people coming to his show at least), I'm hijacking here a bit but who should I listen to that's interesting and not a fucking fascist enabler?
Stuff on Bill Simmon’s podcast network might scratch your itch? I usually only do the Rewatchables but they generally just talk sports and pop culture and are entertaining and light hearted. If you’re looking for something more political or specific I got recs for those too
