Totally OT, does anyone here listen to Joe Rogan?

Best podcast ever! (3.5 hours) As a liberal democrat, I agree with ~98% of this. Joe Rogan is my 'Walter Crondike'.

It gets physics weird near the end.. But it totally seems that the smart guys in theoretical physics have lost their way.. new ideas are needed!

Sheesh, who has 3.5 hours to spare? I like Dave Jones and his EEVBlog, but most of his videos are 15 to 30 minutes long, so I have seen only a few of them.

Yeah, I rarely listen to podcasts or videos. If there's no transcript, I just move on. I still have a soft spot for Car Talk, but that's an exception. ;)

Agreed, but did you ever just sit and listen to Car Talk? Usally we were driving someplace. Or doing something else at the same time.

Right, or doing some other non-verbal thing so that the two don't interfere.

As a young man, G. K. Chesterton commonly dictated one article while writing a different article longhand. Pretty good trick, that.

Yeah it depends on what I'm doing at work. These days we are selling lots and I'm doing a lot of boring production work, so a little distraction is nice. Also I listen in the car.

Right, I'll listen some at home when doing house or yard work. I find it more interesting to listen to people talk versus music.

He seems to be sort of a caricature of what Americans consider a "real man."

Doin' reps. Eating raw steak and eggs for breakfast. Being big into MMA. Punching things, kicking small pieces of paper that offend you. Doin' reps. "Do you even lift, bro?" "are trannies even human? today we have a scientific discussion"

Does not driving a truck - make you gay?

all pretty tedious stuff.

It seems also seems a lot like a self-help routine for adult men who have low self-confidence and were kinda nerdy and picked on a lot in high school and the school bully called him Stinky McPoopypants and most of the girls didn't like 'em much.

Now the dude is 35-45 and his shrew of a first wife that he married straight out of high school (like a dummy) has finally divorced him for being too limp-wristed and not rich enough so he has finally decided to MAN UP. I am NOT going to take it anymore! It's raw steak for breakfast and reps four times a week, from now on! sorry stinky mcpoopypants but you're not fooling anyone.

That he's so appealing to so many millions of adult men, sadly, speaks volumes.

WTF is wrong with you? Are you this crabby in person or just online?

Like most right-wing pundits he's himself a pretty nasty piece-of-work and tries to sell his particular brand of good-ol-boy meatheadism as some universal standard of what masculinity is, in between the hucksterism for various vitamins and "man supplements" of dubious efficacy.

It's a business, with a market

"Over the years, it seems that Rogan has discussed, debated, and championed just about every conspiracy theory you can think of. For

discuss the 9/11 attacks. Both seemed to agree the U.S. knocked over the towers and that the whole thing was planned ahead of time."

Hard to take people seriously who are either fools or liars...

Your loss, make sure to keep your head firmly planted in your echo chamber. (Sorry to get nasty, but you speak of that which you know not... not everything on the web is right. :^)

Echo chamber? Joe Rogans are a dime-a-dozen I've spent half my adult life living around and working with Real Men with near-identical opinions on things. and every day on social media and Usenet etc. many thousands of men parrot the exact same opinions.

What more is there to learn? He's into conspiracy theories. He likes hunting. Doesn't think trans people are really people. has something changed? are there some revolutionary novel opinions here I've missed?

is anyone really confused what right-wing American men believe about things? They do nothing but talk about it, all day long, to anyone who will listen...

I'm assuming you've never listened to a few hours of JR. So your opinion comes from your echo chamber... those you listen to and believe.

Look, Joe Rogan will talk with anyone, just because you have a conversation with someone... that doesn't imply you support or agree with them. You'd have to listen to the conversation to find out.

He talked with Alex Jones for ~4+ hours. (I listened to maybe ~20 min in the beginning and then had to turn it off... ughh.)

If you dislike Rosanne Barr for some reason (did you mention her upstream?) then go listen/ watch that conversation. We' all God's chil'ren, with sins and foibles.

or Elon M. who is intense.

Hah! he's an f'ing treasure. JR's talking to the libertarian left. (small minority) Which at the moment feels closer to the libertarian right, than the authoritarian left. (speaking broadly for those few like me :^) George H. (and the extremes on both sides should be jailed for violence!)

I've listened to and read much more extreme material than Joe Rogan, trust me. he's in fact fairly tame by "man-o-sphere" standards.

Of all the people you could spend 4 hours talking with...

Patrice O'Neal was better and funnier at this kind of material.

I doubt I'll ever hear Joe Rogan go on a rant about "You see, it's completely healthy for your mental and spiritual development, as a man, to watch your girlfriend or wife get f***ed by another man." He wasn't kidding, either, he was into sleeping with other men's girlfriends and wives and vice-versa.

As I say, Rogan is fairly tame...
