Especially since those places are probably paying him $100,000 per show to do it. He is so totally bought off there's no way anyone should call him Independent Media any longer.
Most of these assholes are the way they are because no one laughs at their jokes. Can we just open up a comedy club where Trump, Musk, Rogan, Cruz etc perform 1x per week and we all laugh hysterically? I volunteer as tribute if they will leave us the F alone otherwise.
So I don’t like the guy either but to be a LITTLE fair here to all of you who suddenly have become armchair experts of “Fear and Loathing” Joe Rogan never SAID he was Hunter S Thompson…the poster did. You guys are just making an apples and oranges, “how dare you Apple think you are an orange” thing
You’ve just described his audience. Joe Rogan is what you get when you tell boys for decades to ‘suck it up’ & ‘boys don’t cry’. They don’t have the vocabulary to express or understand their feelings. Their emotional maturity is like pubescent boys.
I only see clips of his idiotic show, I always end up rolling my eyes at what a waste of time he is. It’s just like watching Greasy Junior’s without all the grease.
I can’t even tolerate clips. It’s funny because we whine about white boys now who can’t get laid & don’t have friends. Gen Z girls have more self worth than prior generations. White men haven’t had to stand out & doors still opened. The playing field is now even & they didn’t prepare.
Poor little things, we hurt their widdle feelers when we started graduating more professionals and sticking the ranks of the military. Not to mention us laughing at them when they try to exclude us. We have relegated them to checking crotches in front of bathrooms. 😳
I think it goes back to daddy issues. Dr Schore talks about left hemisphere wiring beginning at 30 months & the importance of a dad role model at that time. For decades we viewed life through the eye of the Bible & not science. I think we’re seeing the repercussions of that.
It's one of the reasons I love Gen Z women. They learnt at a much earlier age than I did that unless his dick squirts champagne & pink sparkles, they're replaceable. Don't let them act up & for the love of a new DVF dress if they're not satisfying you in bed there are others out there who can.
Very true..my point is that prior to the girl power of Taylor Swift & millennial girls, Gen X was not raised like that. We were raised to be submissive to a man.
Thought he was never funnier than on Newsradio (terrific show IMO) but hate what/who he has become.
Good thing I can separate the art from the person. (I still have a lot of time for the old I Spy TV episodes).
But you're right. Hunter S. would've made short work of him.
@marymcnamara.bsky.social
On the one hand yes, on the other, do you realize how many chicks there are out there, that are kind of stupid, and/or awkward, that do or like some random thing and connect it with their "femininity", and people just go "yasssssss slay queen" haha? Let's have one standard and mock or accept it all.
I tried watching one episode just to keep an open mind but the intro was so bizarre that I literally couldn’t do it. I don’t care. I’m not listening to the “other side” when everyone I trust tells me they are lying anyway.
Joe is stale and lame. Rich people love to sit around and expouse all types of subjects and interests because they have the time. Most of us out here working 2 jobs so we can eat. We ain't got time for that shit. Definitely don't put stock in what he says.
Ha!! Good one.
His listener numbers are a clear sign, as any, how fucked up the US is right now. People!!! He’s a fucking dumb shit Aaron Rodgers know-nothing wet noodle. Joe…Talk facts from your knowledge base! Oh shit, that’s a pretty hilarious too!
The dominance of Joe Rogan as some kind of intellectual authority is the inevitable endgame of decades of men and boys dropping out of the education system
Our society as a whole is cruel to young boys, from a lack of nurturing their emotional life to education. Boys are made to conform to sitting at a desk all day with an excess of energy, and are then made to be the problem and not the pedagogy. Compare suicide rates of young males to females.
Rogan's format is good for manipulating audiences. He succeeds influencing men & pushing them to far right cause he's not OVERTLY talking politics. The politics are in the subtext, the attitude & delivery. Like comedy, he forms an In-Group to which his listeners want to belong. The Left needs same.
Yes, they think Rogan's podcast is what academic discourse looks like and surprise, it completely aligns with their worldview. How incredibly convenient
Generally he is not overtly political. Finding a time he was proves nada. Rogan is Oprah f/ guys. Majority of time he is not specifically talking politics. The politics is in the subtext, the attitudes. He's supported gay marriage, universal health care, universal basic income, Bernie Sanders.
Self righteousness & logical fallacy. Again: Rogan isn't generally overtly political. The politics are in subtext & attitude. Hitchcock didn't show Leigh getting stabbed, but we know she was murdered. Making our own connection is more psychologically powerful. Rogan is gateway to overt propaganda.
I was separated from my husband for two years during the first Orange Shitgibbon’s reign. I ended up with a boyfriend who was diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder, aka a psychopath. He loved Joe Rogan.
Idk. I think it has more to do with their upbringing. I grew up poor and didn't graduate HS but I didn't end up worshipping a chuddy bro/ ex gameshow host. 🤷♂️
This is also why I consider weed to be a dangerously addictive drug. Makes you think you’re on the cusp of this creative breakthrough. It’s almost a symbol of that. And don’t get me wrong i do love it haha
Rogan is such a loser. I've watched his show for years - actually before he moved to Austin and to Spotify - and he is unbelievably dumb. He admits to it. Ya'll, he's just a stupid dude that got lucky. That's it. There is NOTHING special there and he knows it. He's just one lucky fuck.
I never understood smoking weed and still going to classes, always seemed like a great way to ruin your high. Now skipping school and smoking weed all day…
That's been one o those eye rolling moments for me, folks I knew in high school who were vehemently anti-weed now talking about taking edibles and how it changed their life for the better in legal states.
Started with Hearst backing "Reefer Madness" bc hemp paper was undercutting his newsprint business, then Nixon realizing he couldn't make minorities illegal. Reagan was just a stepping stone to maintain the ban.
I guess I grew up in an era when buying weed was a thing people did from either sketchy looking guys who were trying super hard to get backstage at an eve6 concert or old hippies who smelled like fermented patchouli and taint
I think we keep underestimating the dynamics of tipping points and exponential growth. I wouldn't cross the street to shake hands with Rogan; I couldn't care less about him -- but the problem of morons with huge platforms is a systems problem of social media algorithms and defunded education.
So we need to cuddle the morons now? Spare their widdle feelings while they’re free to spread their ignorant shit without consequence and derision? Mediocracy is the norm now? We give it a pass?
Not at all. You completely misunderstand. This isn't about giving anyone a pass. If you don't understand why Rogan has mass appeal, you're not going to understand how to counter his bullshit.
He has mass appeal to morons and dickless wonders. I don’t want to understand them. I want to improve the education system and find them jobs so they can contribute to society. I really don’t care about their stupid opinions. That’s the extent of my sympathy for these idiots.
I want to 🤛 Joe Rogan. He blamed 🇺🇦 for 🇷🇺 invading them & not just surrendering. Not one brain cell left in that junkie head. It’s dipshit thinking like that which emboldened 🇺🇸 enemies when keeping a promise would have prevented the war. But no, let’s blame the country 🇺🇸 broke the promise with🤷♂️.
People like Rogan, at least in part, because they're sick of being scolded for their thoughts and words by people they view as 'elites'. There's a subsection of liberals that go after every out of line comment people make. This is an anti-elite backlash. No one likes being looked down on.
Our VP right now is a perfect example of this trend with his book Hillbilly Elegy. An entire book outlining the flaws he sees in the culture and minds of average people. It gets overused, but 'cancel culture' has at least some reality to it. And the relentless movement of the Overton window in...
two different directions due to a slowly fracturing media system was the final nail in that coffin. What's viewed as acceptable has moved so much in different directions for different groups that there's a subsection in every group that exists mainly to piss off some outside group. Outrage theater.
Um. Anyone remember the Diggers? The STP family? The Hog Farm? Ello? Anyone out there? Anyone? And how about them Furry Freak Brothers and S Clay Wilson???🤪
The only good thing he did was News Radio. I wish they never cancelled that show where he made contestants eat horse penises or whatever because I would have never found out what stupid stuff he thinks about anything.
there's a bit in the Office where Michael mentions that Fear Factor is his favorite show and that "I'm a big fan of anything Joe Rogan does" and that was what, 15-20 years ago? Nobody had any idea but also yeah that character absolutely stays a Rogan fan, doesn't he?
Rogan was successful. He experienced actual cancellation because he called out Carlos Mencia for stealing jokes and the Comedy Store blacklisted…Rogan. So before Rogan sucked, and oh does he suck, he didn’t suck
A broken clock is right twice per day. He was never funny. And if you watch the takedown video of his last stand up, you'll see him do the same stuff he trashed Mencia for.
Everyone last one of them seems to have gone right wing after being rejected by the "liberal" world in some way. That even seems to be Trump's story (not accepted by old money NYC elites) It's sad really, and I'll feel bad once they stop trying to burn the world down.
We were somewhere outside of Austin when the Overton window started to shift. I remember saying something like, "Generally speaking, Chinese people look Chinese."
Uh this is erasing us of buying drugs from someone named Trevor who makes you hang out with him in his living room with indoor Christmas lights on at 2pm in July experience.
Bill Maher will be 70 next year and he is trying so hard to remain relevant with the kids and not lose his job at Max by making the felon mad. I watch him when his show ends up on YouTube a hour after its broadcast. His New Rules are usually good. His guests, not so much lately.
He's a fuckin idiot, people who follow him are fuckin idiots, when you start listening to the guy from UFC and stop listening to actual experts then your a fuckin idiot and a sorry excuse for a human....
Oh and I will (I'll) add they completely missed the actual substance of the message....it's like they have (they've) nothing else better to do.... There's more to life than sitting in mom's basement....
I know this, I just love being picked up on it by people who think they are (they're) smart like lil grammar Nazis, without the basic understanding of obvious pre emptive text mistakes then proceed to make an ass out of themselves failing to see their own English faux pas...
I love how Joe Rogan used to be that guy smoking weed and talking to guys who look for Bigfoot with that "I dunno I'm a dummies I just try to listen to science".
Now he's a shill since he's become rich he's acting like he's better than other media he accuses of bias, and is totally detached
God this is so true and hilarious. For extra hilarity, try to watch The Spirit Molecule, where Joe stands awkwardly in an ill fitting suit like a creepy substitute teacher going off curriculum.
I've been in those kinds of stores, extremely creepy. I've preferred the ones that are made of wood and have a lived in feeling. But yes, he is devoid of humanity and lacks the sin of Empathy.
Joe Rogan is another hilarious example of the farthest thing from what an "alpha male" should actually be. Short, bald, does steroids because he'd never be that big lifting weights naturally, and if he was any dumber you'd have to put him near a sunny window and water him twice a week.
There's a huge number of men in their 40s and 50s who are actively and vociferously The Man yet are 100% convinced they're still the counterculture rebel they thought they were at 15.
One of my wife and I's best friends is a single mother who served 2 tours in Iraq, and struggled valiantly to raise 3 amazing kids and worked 60+ hours a week. She would unwind with some pot, and ended up getting arrested and probation for possession, a hero treated like a common criminal.
The very fact that it’s STILL considered a schedule 1 narcotic at the federal level is more ridiculous than anything Trump has ever spewed from that orange shit hole he calls a mouth
Oh yes, and had she not been working class, had she driven a Mercedes SUV in her gated neighborhood, I don't believe for a second she would have been subjected to that traffic stop and search.
Good news though is she got through that bullshit down south, and now lives in a legal state, and can work her ass off and legally unwind with a joint or a blunt when she needs it. But yeah all the state accomplished was making the lives of a wonderful family harder for no reason.
A neighbor of my mother disarmed a crazy kid with a gun (he was about 10 years old) called police and gave them the gun. Police arrested her for violating probation because she had a firearm. She’d been arrested in a pot bust a few years earlier. This was in FL about 2013. Unreal.
Hunter S Thompson would have drained these monkeys of their adrenachrome and sold them in tanjiers for kicks
No wait that's Burroughs
Hunter would have shot them in their stupid fucking faces
Wonder if Rogan will apply for WH Press credentials to be a podcaster interviewer? Probably not though...not sure he wants to talk politics after attending the inauguration.
If no one is saying this, I will: Joe Rogan is scum. He is not a philosopher king, or hero of free speech. He is a muck raking scumbag who by proxy promotes wild conspiracy garbage and endangers the lives of decent people like Dr. Fauci….
He's an opportunist, which may be the worst of all. He just follows the money and says whatever his audience wants to hear because that makes him the most money
Exactly. What is disturbing is that I spoken to fans of his podcasts and they will say he’s “fair and balanced” with the variety of guests he has; which is total crap because he praises the ones that should be slapped while promoting their baseless theories. Just as bad as Info wars.
I could care less that he has an eclectic mix of guests on his show; for the ones that should be called for the total assholes that they are are praised and promoted. I say boycott his podcasts.
Rogan is a failed stand-up and sometime walk-on who got traction hosting Fear Factor. ICYMI, a reality show of stupid stunts and eating bugs.
There's no 'there' there. His entire career has been spent scuttling in the margins of relevance. He found it on the Internet, cultural gutter that it is.
This is extra funny to me because the first time I met Joe Rogan was in Aspen (where HST also lived) and he was such a punk ass bitch trying to pick up HS girls at Starbucks while working on his lame stand up set. Always been a tool
Joe Rogan isn’t fit to sit in the back seat of Hunter S Thompson’s car & sniff his farts. HST was smart & well traveled. Joe Rogan is a walking billboard for what happens when you kill your brain with Rogaine.
"We have become a Nazi monster in the eyes of the whole world—bullies and bastards who would rather kill than live peacefully. We are not just Whores for power and oil, but killer whores with hate and fear in our hearts." Hunter S Thompson (Kingdom of Fear)
Nogon Rogon what a class 1 fucking arsehole dweeb, thinks it makes him smart and cool smoking corporate controlled weed, dickheads like him is what this world truly do not need.
A rebel without a cause or a fucking clue, this fuck you is especially for you cock sucker 😡😡🖕🖕😂🙏
Hunter S. Thompson would probably look at Rogan and declare him to be spineless, uncultured fascist swine and a useful idiot who tries to appear interesting via “questioning,” which is really to hide his intellectual vacuousness and the fact that he aspires to join the swine he so cravenly serves.
So glad I didn't have coffee in my mouth. After lol'ing... even if you took a page of HST's writing, cut it up into squares and rearranged the text blocks... it'd still be more coherent, more relevant and exponentially more intelligent than the idiocy Rogan spews.

and injectable monkey cum because #health #natural
The gonzo lifestyle would eat em alive.
I love it. Gen Z girls rock
“We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline ..."
Would get him started I'm sure lol.
Good thing I can separate the art from the person. (I still have a lot of time for the old I Spy TV episodes).

Thick assholes are still gonna be thick assholes, even if they got money and get stoned.

We seriously still calling these skeets? It’s jizz. We all know it’s jizz, right?
Was back shots, ropes or plain ol creampies just too obvious?
Nuff said.
stream of bullshit that is life in 2025
they do not read.
I knew it!
I have no idea why you just make up stuff like this.
Be a real man and smoke some shaboo.
What is funny is that my Apple auto spell always corrects ‘Rogan’ to ‘Rohan’.
#EyeOfMauron
It's the way life should be!
Oh and the state is loving the extra income from the
25 %TAX too!
This is your brain campaign !
Eggs are a big thing these days!
I'm also attaching something Chomsky said in an interview in 2020 that I post wherever I can, because I think it's still on point.
hard disagree
that would be funny
But all failures.
A handful of Fox Anchors are dropouts.
I'll laugh when he's dead. There, I said it.
Is Rogan a journalist & great author too)
He's just fucking dumb.
Now he's a shill since he's become rich he's acting like he's better than other media he accuses of bias, and is totally detached
Get flexed on Joe
Note: The above comment has nothing to do with weed.
Yet poor people can’t get money to buy food on cards that only allow them to buy food because, “… they’ll just use the money on drugs.”
Means testing is based on the poor not being trustworthy.
The government never means tests corporations to verify their tax breaks create jobs.
It’s not just Republicans. It’s how society sees wealth as a virtue and not as simply a number on a spreadsheet.
Let alone knows one is or what they are!!
They’d be dead by 5 PM.
No wait that's Burroughs
Hunter would have shot them in their stupid fucking faces

I tried listening to it once several years back and found no redeeming quality whatsoever. I only lasted about five minutes before ditching it.
The biggest tragic comedy ever.
