Toxic meathead does not belong anywhere near a microphone. Yet here we are.
I watched a couple of episodes years ago. One with Wim Hof, and one with a guy talking about Terrence Mckenna. They were interesting enough, but I never got hooked. It sounds like the show has gone downhill from there.
He really fell into the alt-right “manosphere” crowd after Covid restrictions started rolling out I think. Those really put a damper on his two business and personal interests outside of his podcast: stand up comedy, and MMA. It was so much he moved his studio from LA to somewhere in Texas where they obviously didn’t give a shit about Covid.
Joe Rogan calling people out over mental fitness is a prime example of a pot calling a kettle black.
To that, Rogan responded, “Oh, so [Trump] fucked up.” Nickal commented, “That’s the thing about media these days. You gotta look into it.”
Hey fucko, you’re a part of the media
Bo Nickal (the person who said that) is an MMA fighter.
Exactly the person you’d want on your show for nuanced political discussion. Thank you once again, Joe Rogan.
The show isn’t for nuanced political discussion lol
Then maybe they shouldn’t keep trying to have them.
True. A few years ago I started watching old JRE videos and enjoyed them, but when I started watching the videos as they came out, I found the show sucked because Rogan wasn’t just platforming people anymore, he was actively pushing his own beliefs because he’d become convinced he was an expert on everything.
