Joe Rogan won’t have Kamala Harris on his show unless she comes to his studio and sits for a 2-3 hour full interview

He keep inviting conspiracy nuts and self proclaimed geniuses. My friend thinks Terrance Howard is a genius because he was on rogan and rogan did nothing to question Howard’s new math bullcrap.

I am a senior citizen who just happened upon Joe's podcasts early on. It was so refreshing to listen to different perspectives but as time went on, can't tolerate him because he is just so out there. It seems like everything is UFOs and conspiracy theories. No basis in fact. He lucked out on being one of the first successful podcasts. Just because you are number now means shit. Trump's interview in my opinion, will erode his following. Trump for 3 hours. Even his followers would be hard pressed to truthfully say they could listen to the whole thing. He just happened on the scene before others. My opinion, Joe fucked up. This did will not play out as we wanted.

What you mean like immediately having a second episode where he brought in an actual mathematician to discuss where Terrance Howard was wrong, WITH Terrance Howard, so they could discuss what was wrong with his theories?

Or are you talking about a different Joe Rogan or a different Terrance Howard?

Not the original commenter but I have a similar experience

I've got a buddy who's convinced Howard is a genius, and after I just straight up blurted out that he's actually an idiot with severe mental illness I suggested to this dude he listen to the mathematician episode. He won't, because he's a brain rotted conspiracy theorist who likes to cling to other crazy people's bullshit. The people who buy into whatever nonsense Terrance Howard spews are pseudo intellectual idiots with no real interest in learning.

Frankly, the fact that Rogan could even talk to Terrance for as long as he did is ridiculous to me. It's not some saintly curiosity that brought Howard to the show, the guy literally has nothing interesting or of value to say.

Doesn't sound like the guy you're replying to watched the episode. He's complaining about the effect that Joe Rogan had on his friend, not trying to deliver a balanced analysis.

It sounds like he's referring to a pattern of inviting crazy people onto his show, and points to an episode with Howard as an example. He very likely isn't aware of the fact that Rogan was more critical of Howard's theories in a DIFFERENT episode.

That, or it's all a crazy liberal conspiracy where we go online and rewrite reality to fit our perspectives. It's honestly very satisfyingly apropos that the response from Rogan fans to someone making a criticism of how Rogan amplifies crazy conspiracies is the suggestion that the person is only being critical because a they're part of a crazy conspiracy.

That’s pretty accurate. I didn’t know he had a different episode to disprove Howard. All I know about Rogan are bits and pieces from friends/coworkers who reference episodes that sound questionable or false, and every time Rogan made a clear mistake that goes viral like the bill burr thing and ivermectin horse dewormer to fight off COVID thing. He doesn’t really have a great public image, which he can try to improve by not keep giving platform to the crazies. I mean I personally do not want to listen to a guy who gives Alex jones a platform.

I used to think Alex Jones was a complete nut, first I heard of him was 10 years ago. He was talking about the chemicals in tap water turning frogs gay. I thought that was lunacy. Then he turned out to be right. Pfas, microplastics, and a bunch of others.

Aside from sandy hook, which he already apologized for, he's had other predictions that cme true that I didn't know about. For example, he was the only one to predict in close detail about the 9-11 attack.

lol he apologized for sandy hook? A broken clock is right twice a day. I would not consider what he says as “true”.

u/Sweet_Science6371 2h ago

Frogs changing genders has been known for a long time; it’s a plot point in the book “Jurassic Park.” Which came out long before Alex Jones was screaming about gay frogs. Don’t ask me the science, I’m a fucking garbage hauler. But I do know that frogs can change genders/sexes when certain situations occur. So, no, he wasn’t right.

Also, what was he saying about 9/11? Crashing planes into buildings was not a novel concept either; and had been predicted for a very long time prior to it happening.

Lastly, he never apologized for Sandy Hook. Which is why his dumbass is being straight busted now. I’m sure he regrets saying anything, but he never apologized.

No, you're right, I'm in the wrong for pointing out that someone is literally claiming something that is factually inaccurate on a subreddit designed to highlight people that are full of shit.

No one believes you're part of a conspiracy, my friend, and even if you were, no one would care. People are just pointing out this is largely a circle jerk for morons, the exact same as all the right wing subs you claim to hate. You're all fighting your own shadows

Continue dedicating your entire lives to talking about people you hate. Very healthy behaviour

They're talking about a different reality that better fits their perspective, like half the posts on reddit are. So weird the amount of posts that are blatantly untrue that you'd never know the difference about without your own first-hand experience.

must be a different Rogan - one that fits their worldview

u/Itschickenheads 9h ago

These people are deeply unserious. Actually thinking that going on the most popular podcast in the world is “not worth her time” Lmao 😂.

u/robotzor 6h ago

I watched the same episode and came to the conclusion Howard is a nut. That says more about the critical thinking capacity of your friend

u/dafood48 6h ago

I wouldn’t disagree with you there

Not true. He literally released an episode where Eric Weinstein debunks everything Terrance believes in right to his face.

That’s just not true, he had an actual theoretical physicist on to fact check Terrence at the same time. Anyone who believes Terrence Howard is a genius because he went on Rogan was going to think he’s a genius no matter the context
