I remember this guy as the brutally unfunny cast member on NewsRadio. Then he popped up again encouraging people to eat pigs testicles. Now for some reason he has a huge listenership? I don't get it.
He talks endlessly about how stoned he is....a Pauly Shore who knows Karate and eats BBQ everyday...strange dude
Because he's kind of like Art Bell. He has on a myriad of interesting people. Some of them are kooky as hell. I don't know why he bothers people so much though.
The fact that he's spreading this bizarro anitfa fire conspiracy says it all. He legitimized Andy Ngo. I consider him the plausible deniability guy, always hiding behind the "I'm just asking/wondering" shield. And he's not funny.
I mean some of the guests he’s had on are interesting conversations. But, he has this cult following and most the times i listen it’s just grown men giggling. My brother falls under the cult following and once in awhile I’ll listen if he has a good guest. He’s told my dad to listen to a few of his podcasts and he thinks Rogans a jackass. I’m indifferent I guess
As for Rogan, I don't get the draw. Like you said earlier, he's like Art Bell, cept that I think Art knew he was full of shit (until the end when he started to believe he was being stalked). Joe is a combo of a meat head, a pot head, a drunk, a bully and a dullard.
The few episodes of his that I have watched were people like Robert Downey Jr. I just wanted to see the guest in a longform discussion.
Sometimes he (Rogan) comes off thoughtful and intelligent. Other times, most times, he just comes off as a meat head.
