    As a Megadeth fan it was surprisingly good. I’m not a regular viewer. Joe isn’t smart but I think he can be a good interviewer

      He establishes a good rapport with guests. But sometimes he uses that to lull people into agreeing with some of his fucked up shit.

      He asked Coffeezilla (guy who does journalism about online scams) about trans rights. Coffeezilla rightly responded something like “I don’t know this isn’t something I’m an expert in.” The look on Rogan’s face was like, Eh I guess I didn’t get you on that one.

      And it’s weird how he tries to create controversy. He’s already the #1 podcaster, why is he doing these underhanded tricks to stir up controversy to gain notoriety?

      It was a better show when he was just a dumb guy talking to smart people. That was a lot of fun. Don’t know why he didn’t just stick with that.
