  • I’ve been a pretty consistent listener of Joe for a decade, since before he really gained true popularity. He’s never been perfect and he’s said and done a whole lot of dumb shit over the years, but I took him for entertainment and nothing more, so his missteps were always forgivable.

    But last year’s Trump, Vance, Musk, and Gabbard interviews back-to-back on the eve of election proved to me without a shadow of a doubt that Joe Rogan is bought and sold, and I’ve not listened to him since.

    I don’t hate him, but his appeal to me was that right or wrong, he was always at least genuine. Now he’s just a 3-hour advertisement.

    In my opinion, what fucked him was reaching ‘escape velocity’ as he calls it. He knows he’s untouchable now so he’s stopped auto criticism.
