I’m a bit concerned about how much my husband has been watching his videos, but he’s a hard man to argue with. I want to understand what it is Joe Rogan is saying, but I don’t want to give the man my viewership. How/where do I get the info I can use to debate my husband?

    I’m pretty sure I’ve seen several different clips where he repeats the same “I’m a moron” spiel.

    While I have only watched what few clips came my way, I was under the impression that was the entire point of his podcast: Invite interesting* people, then validating them in discussion by agreeing to most of their takes regardless of how bizarre they are so that they freely speak of their topic.

    *wherein “interesting” is usually something from the categories of fringe beliefs (often conspiracies), drugs, culturally influential people, or experts on whatever is a big topic for his viewership at the time.

    Many of the experts are also those of the fringe belief kind.


    Basically, if you take Rogan’s views significantly more seriously than the beliefs of your local meth head, you are doing it wrong.
