    He’s a douche with the #1 podcast in the world who shares his huge platform to fringe nutjobs after running out of interesting guests. He hardly challenges any of the crazy things they say and confidently parrots misinformation.

    Guest: So anyway, that’s how we know that Joe Biden actually does drink infant blood

    Joe: Wow. I heard he said he would be a dictator on day 1 of his second term. He’s senile!

    Fact-checker: actually it was Trump who said that

    Joe: oh well clearly he misspoke, give him a break! I’m not a grifter btw

      You forgot to say he used to be a UFC announcer which is where most of these memes come from.

      But you know, why provide a relevant answer when you have a golden opportunity to shit on someone you hate and make up a fake conversation?

        My response was relevant. OP was realizing that people don’t like Rogan and I explained why - because he platforms nutjobs and doesn’t challenge them on their opinions.

        My hyperbolic fake conversation isn’t very far from the truth, unfortunately

      Do we get to say he’s the no.1 podcast if the vast, vast majority of his audience is only one country. And that country has proven itself to be 33% racist morons?

        I could be wrong but I thought it was the #1 most downloaded show in the world, no?

        He’s definitely the highest paid podcaster thanks to his insane Spotify deal.
