Give them a break, They used all the polygons rendering their beer bellies. The car looks better in isolation.

Pretty sure that's a side effect of HGH

I'm not a big guy but it still surprises me every time I see how small Rogan is

I agree, but I think that they all share the something of the same clown quality.
I actually liked Rogan on News Radio (90s sitcom) where he played an idiot-savant repairman who could fix anything electronic, but everyone acknowledged that it would burn the place down in 48 hours if left as is. For reference, Andy Dick was also on that show. He looked competent next to Andy Dick, but not nearly as funny.
I thought Rogan really found his calling on Fear Factor, where he just urged people to eat maggot infested cheese. If that show had gone on, how different would our world look like today??
We also watched the Apprentice, but I remember it as a comedy with Trump as the butt of the joke. Did no one else get that joke?
Musk - crap on a cracker. I've heard a lot of comments on how his "pedo guy" comment changed peoples' perception of him, but holy crap. It should have come even a little bit before that. There were about a dozen children trapped in a cave in SE Asia with "hours to days" to survive, if they had even made it that long. This cave had something like a14 inch vertical choke point and muddy conditions throughout.* What does this lackwit do? This absolute knob releases footage of a prototype submarine in a swimming pool in California, being guided along by human divers and says "EMERGENCY RESPONDERS STOP WORK. I'M YOUR ONLY HOPE."
Point being: This moron does not understand what a cave is. Probably coupled with "and no one is going to tell him that."
Understand that trump is doing this: speaking directly to his base, because he assumes he's going to lose the election, and he's trying to lay the groundwork for Civil War 2. There is no other explanation for him to only be speaking to his base for the last 4 or 5+ interviews. He's not going after undecideds or urban voters. He's already lost in his head, so he's going to rile up his base and convince them to try another Jan 6th, but this time, with more prep and planning involved.
Not the only explanation. It's all he's ever done. It's how he lost to Hillary Clinton and still got handed the presidency anyway in 2016.
Right, I don't disagree that this is all he's ever done, but he also attempted a coup last time as well. That's basically what I'm saying.
He's doing it out in the open right now. Absolutely no political strategist would have ever cancelled the 20/20 interview, or any of the town halls he's cancelled lately, 2 weeks out from election day. It's batshit insane. He's not even campaigning in swing states right now. Musk and Tucker and others are doing that for him.
He's speaking to his base nonstop, because:
- He's a narcissist and needs the attention
- He's laying the groundwork for his next coup, just like he did the first one, except way more in the open and well ahead of time.
Joe Rogan is the single reason I won't touch anything Spotify with a 20 feet pole anymore.
Yep, cancelled my 10-or-so-years subscription in part because of this clown. Tidal is just as good tbh

I am constantly dismayed when I see Rogan on he top of the charts every week. It's worse when I hear my generally reasonable and Democrat friends say they listen and that he's funny
I don't even give him the time of day anymore. The moment he comes on I just shut it down. I don't want to ever hear his stupid voice pondering if transgender aliens butt raped him cause his ass hurts so bad again.
Why the fuck would I want to hear a punch drunk future dementia patient interview people? The hawk tuah girl has ten times the charm he does and her only claim to fame is spitting on dicks.

And she hasn't said anything AFAIK about the gender of the dick carrier.

Good. Have Harris go after and show the contrast between the two. She'll mop the floor with Rogan and get the last word with his audience.
Joe Rogan was never going to let Kamala Harris on the Podcast. He knows which side his bread is buttered on, and that would piss off his base. All he cares about at this point is money. He gave up the "I'm a socially liberal populist" bullshit after 2016 basically.
I would be surprised if he let one candidate come one and refused the other. Rogan has worked pretty hard not to appear openly partisan. He also wants the views. He could pull in a shitload of viewers with a Harris interview, just like Fox did with their interview.
Basically, yeah Rogan is clearly a piece of shit but his bread isn't buttered the same way other right wing influencers are.

Idk, it's been a looong time since I listened to his show, but I always got the impression that a good performance there just meant smoking a bowl and telling some crude jokes... I think she'll come across as presidential, which is exactly what that audience doesn't want
Headline "Man already continuously carrying so much water for fascist pieces of shit, carries just a single drop more water"
I'm a centrist lean left I swear
Trump cancels his events for.... Trump?
These kind of headlines really make us look like crackpot to the right. Joe Rogan is not one of the worst people ever.
He's a self interested comedian and Podcaster who platforms people indiscriminately. The conservatives have made themselves available to him, and he has shows to make. He has plenty of liberal guests that don't get confrontational or hostile interviews and most of his personal politics are pretty liberal.
Rush Limbagh, Alex Jones, Bill O'Reilly were all actually conservative right wing monsters.

This is going to be a love fest. There may be hugging involved.
"I'm not biased though guys, I like weed and drugs so I'm actually not a far right hugging asshole!"
to be fair: that's how most maga see themselves.
Uh, rules and laws are only for democrats, poors, and minorities.

Will do nothing for his chance of winning. Either the guys were already voting for Trump or they can't legally vote.
Bonus: Trump will probably say something so stupid that it will be used to make fun of the UFC bros. Something so cringe like he could take Tyson in his prime.
How cool would it be if he takes this opportunity to do the right thing and publicly denounce him to his face?
He’s going to give him three hours to yap. That’s a lot of rope to hand Trump.

The article doesn't mention it but how come Joe Rogan gets such a top billing?
(For context I know of him as some wrestling and podcast guy, never listened to his stuff.)
He's a former actor who has used his platform to amplify shitty people. Like if Oprah was a roided out dudebro.
