    Good. Have Harris go after and show the contrast between the two. She’ll mop the floor with Rogan and get the last word with his audience.

      Joe Rogan was never going to let Kamala Harris on the Podcast. He knows which side his bread is buttered on, and that would piss off his base. All he cares about at this point is money. He gave up the “I’m a socially liberal populist” bullshit after 2016 basically.

        I would be surprised if he let one candidate come one and refused the other. Rogan has worked pretty hard not to appear openly partisan. He also wants the views. He could pull in a shitload of viewers with a Harris interview, just like Fox did with their interview.

        Basically, yeah Rogan is clearly a piece of shit but his bread isn’t buttered the same way other right wing influencers are.

      Idk, it’s been a looong time since I listened to his show, but I always got the impression that a good performance there just meant smoking a bowl and telling some crude jokes… I think she’ll come across as presidential, which is exactly what that audience doesn’t want

    These kind of headlines really make us look like crackpot to the right. Joe Rogan is not one of the worst people ever.

    He’s a self interested comedian and Podcaster who platforms people indiscriminately. The conservatives have made themselves available to him, and he has shows to make. He has plenty of liberal guests that don’t get confrontational or hostile interviews and most of his personal politics are pretty liberal.

    Rush Limbagh, Alex Jones, Bill O’Reilly were all actually conservative right wing monsters.

        Yeah, though in his (incredibly lukewarm) defense he seemed more interested in the batshit crazy aliens-control-the-government theories than the more pedestrian conservative stuff, although the line between the two has greatly narrowed over the years.

        He’s making entertainment. But he also pushed back on him alot, or at least he used to. He really lets people go off though because it’s a 3 hour talk. He doesn’t have to keep them on track or concise. There are lots of episodes where crackpots come on and the reaction isn’t “this guy is right”.

        It is a really long format show to watch and actually get context for if you don’t enjoy him at all. Too many people consider him a monster just from snippets or articles, which is why I wish people would chill with the hyperbolic claims.

        He’s friendly with people who are nice to him and help him provide good content for his audience. Unfortunately, the more he’s villianized the more that becomes exclusively right wing shills. He’s not just gonna stop the show because the people willing to book skew right. He was booking Elon before he became so publicly problematic. He is also the reason Neil deGrasse Tyson was popularized. And he has research paper authors on fairly regularly. It’s a mixed bag.

        Joe was also on Alex Jones show for 9/11, so they’ve known each other for a pretty long time. Just back then Joe was just a buddy and not someone he could take that much advantage of. In addition, Joe pushed back more back then, but was still somewhat problematic anyway.

    Understand that trump is doing this: speaking directly to his base, because he assumes he’s going to lose the election, and he’s trying to lay the groundwork for Civil War 2. There is no other explanation for him to only be speaking to his base for the last 4 or 5+ interviews. He’s not going after undecideds or urban voters. He’s already lost in his head, so he’s going to rile up his base and convince them to try another Jan 6th, but this time, with more prep and planning involved.

      Not the only explanation. It’s all he’s ever done. It’s how he lost to Hillary Clinton and still got handed the presidency anyway in 2016.

        Right, I don’t disagree that this is all he’s ever done, but he also attempted a coup last time as well. That’s basically what I’m saying.

        He’s doing it out in the open right now. Absolutely no political strategist would have ever cancelled the 20/20 interview, or any of the town halls he’s cancelled lately, 2 weeks out from election day. It’s batshit insane. He’s not even campaigning in swing states right now. Musk and Tucker and others are doing that for him.

        He’s speaking to his base nonstop, because:

        • He’s a narcissist and needs the attention
        • He’s laying the groundwork for his next coup, just like he did the first one, except way more in the open and well ahead of time.

      I don’t even give him the time of day anymore. The moment he comes on I just shut it down. I don’t want to ever hear his stupid voice pondering if transgender aliens butt raped him cause his ass hurts so bad again.

      Why the fuck would I want to hear a punch drunk future dementia patient interview people? The hawk tuah girl has ten times the charm he does and her only claim to fame is spitting on dicks.

      Yep. I had enjoyed the podcast early, when it was aliens and comedians and good old government conspiracies. Not so much the mma stuff, whatever.

      Then it got big and he started enjoying the smell of his own farts ( or something, allegedly). And stopped using the dmt. And it went downhill in a random walk down.

      Them came spotify and i knew it was all crap from there on out. A few episodes here and there that make it to youtube ive watched , but meh.

            Sure thing. It’s the same service in pretty much every respect. Except without Joe Rogan profiting from it because of some insane $250 mil agreement to push his toxic right wing misinformation show.

            They have the same music, the same podcasts, same general search and playlist features. They don’t ever try to upsell anything or play ads. They’re also $3 cheaper than Spotify.

            Even without the Rogan nonsense, I would have switched to Tidal if I had known about it.

            It costs the same (or even less by now?), has virtually the same library and (if you are into that) offers higher quality music files. Oh and the biggest plus: doesn’t platform nazis like Rogan.
