What’s the Joe Rogan thing?

lmao’d at this good tweet

Oh yes. That's the good stuff.

Have I ever punched up a Neil Young or Jonnie Mitchell (sp?) song on the internet ever? 

Also, I've never partaken in this Rogan guy's podcast.  Seems very douchey.

The podcast is actually pretty enjoyable, as is Joe Rogan. The problem is people treating it as a source of information instead of entertainment. I guess you could ask for a disclaimer, but, like Lib7 said, he's already said he's an idiot on multiple occasions.

Facebook reposts are A+ sources for the olds, so guess can't be too hard on those who use Rogan as their source.

What exactly did he say to get everyone in a tiff ?

I think calling the vaccine dangerous and not worth getting. He has been responsible for killing a few fringe MAGAs for sure. But probably fewer than trump.

He said the vaccine is dangerous for adults and they shouldn’t get it?  I thought he just showed his ass about myocarditis in kids and got slam dunked by that Aussie Journo in real time for it.

What are you doing ITT, just playing devil's advocate? I don't know why everyone keeps letting us know they don't listen to the JRE, I think it's well established that none of us having this conversation listen to the show, but it's culturally relevant right now and you have to almost actively avoid clips, especially if you're active on twitter.

That being said, I've seen the clip of him saying that if you're young and healthy you don't need the vaccine a billion times. He's also been on this board roughly a billion times before this thread was created. There are enough clips and quotes from him first doubting the existence of COVID, then lashing out against masking, to now denying them efficacy of the vaccine and touting unproven alternative cures. You can see all of that by regularly reading this board and or reading twitter. I'm struggling with your, "what has he really done to deserve this," or @IPA4Me's "just don't listen you'll be fine" knowing none of us listen.

I agree anyone with a platform that big has a moral responsibility to take the facts more seriously, but as a thought experiment I’m legitimately curious who we think would have been spared if Rogan sang a different tune on COVID, vaccines, etc.

Maybe I’ve grown overly cynical but I feel like most people nowadays only distinguish between information, entertainment, and propaganda based on whether the presented “facts” match up with their preconceived notions. If Rogan started promoting vaccines I feel like almost any anti-vaxxer would say “well Rogan said himself he’s a moron” and find another news story to latch onto like those Russia sponsored websites Dax always links to.

yeah, most downgrades won't care either way. maybe 1% could be swayed.

Joe rogan can say whatever he wants

All those singer songwriters can also do whatever they want too

So can Spotify

On the flip side, who could Neil Young (potentially) have influence over that would make a bigger impact?

If anything, it will only embolden the Southern Man.

i think the correct devil's advocacy re. rogan is that if he is "deplatformed" at spotify he'll just go back to having a free podcast, so more people rather than fewer people will be able to listen to his opinions on vaccines.

Very good point

[star seed 7]

It's free on spotify, just exclusive to their app.

[sys]

oh, nevermind then.  thought i had a hot contrarian take.

[MakeItRain]

Does their app have a video component or does he simulcast the video somewhere? It's always video clips, never audio.

Yes, the app has the video

[steve dave]

apparently joe rogan apologized for having exclusively weirdos on the show and said he's going to have some people on who actually know about science or some crap. war's over hippy musicians, everyone come back and stop potentially rough ridin' up my streaming experience.

[steve dave]

I'm actually shocked he genuflected that quickly. Money rules at making people do things. Outside of violence it's pretty much BITB.

[wetwillie]

Great outcome, thanks for reading the board Joe

The dude is unlistenable.    He’s one of the worst interviewers I’ve ever heard.   

Props to him for being an untalented hack and yet managing to build that into a franchise.

Lots of bros out there who like that there's a dude that thinks the way that they do and or think that could be them if they caught a few breaks.

Rogan and Barstool fans are in the same part of the venn diagram

He should go back to Fear Factor, that show was a banger and as much as I loved Ludacris, the show wasn't the same with him.

Not to image shame but goddamn, how much makeup does this dude wear when he's on TV? Sheesh.

Also lol at the dick rider who posted this tweet. Rogan has spent two years trolling COVID, now because there's been an effective way to get him to listen this dude is trying to give Rogan a Nobel prize.

lmao, Pomp is a $btc maxi and is on CNBC sometimes talking about $btc to $5m and all kinds of crazy crap. of course he loves joe rogan.

[Trim]

I played that whole thing in the background. Did I miss him getting chip’d and telling loads of idiots to get chip’d too?
