Joe Rogan Mistakenly Blasts Biden’s Mental Fitness Over Something Trump Actually Said

"most watched news"

"don't trust media"

"we are for entertainment only not news and no reasonable person would think so"

Until they are in a courtroom then they're entertainment

Yeah, and it works wonderfully. Why wouldn't they roll with it?

We libs think we score some kinda "gotcha!" by pointing to the hypocrisy. It's not working for us.

They got a formula that works. We do not. Isn't it about time to abandon the high road and engage in lying, cheating and stealing? Hell, they already think we're doing it.

Yeah. His show is the most advertised podcast of all time. You're not getting 200 million for an indie show

Exactly the person you'd want on your show for nuanced political discussion. Thank you once again, Joe Rogan.

To that, Rogan responded, “Oh, so [Trump] fucked up.” Nickal commented, “That’s the thing about media these days. You gotta look into it.”

Ah, a perfect example of people not checking their sources themselves /s

Or you could just read the article, because ya know…. That little bit of information is in there.

He claims he voted libertarian in the last election but I feel pretty confident that won't happen next year.

Not directly related beyond steaming and podcasting apparently rotting people's brains, but I just watched a stream where a guy tried to cough up a lung and then said "it's not allergies, chat, it's just hay fever"

Like, damn bro. You're about to get clowned on by thirteen year olds with more medical knowledge than you.

He did not acknowledge the logical conclusion that everything he said about Biden being unfit should then in theory be applied to Trump. No, Trump just "fucked up".

If read the article critically, you would not accept such a lazy correction.

You are mistaken in thinking that changes anything.

Fascists only need to blast their message. Any incorrectness or recanting is 100% irrelevant and inconsequential.

When the nazis roll over the government and burn it all down, I swear, there'll be this 10% subset of people befuddled that this could be happening after all of the recanting. It doesn't matter. Don't let them convince you it matters.

You're such a tool and you don't even know it.

It's not just his faculties, but the entire facilities that keep him running!

The crypto is debatable at this point

Too old and totally shady...

Even before that, Rogan’s show is modeled off Coast to Coast AM, a show well known for pseudoscience and conspiracy theories.

Morton Downey Jr

I completely forgot about him.

What did Jerry do? I'm out of the loop

I share that opinion. The shat began a bit before the spotify deal, but after it was downhill via log ride off shit mountain.

You probably grew out of it and realized he was shit all along.

I listened to him for a while, then found him complaining more and more about the left. That was mostly fine since he complained about conservatives as well and he supported Bernie Sanders, but I got fed up with him because he wouldn't have liberals on the show to discuss the topics he clearly knew nothing about yet loved to bring up constantly.

He's a guy who touts himself on being open, curious, and willing to learn, but what I found was the exact opposite. Any time there was a guest on his show who disagreed with something and the conversation turned into more of a debate, he'd say that having that person on was a mistake. Ultimately I stopped listening when he proved himself to be a blowhard hypocrite.

I miss when he was doing standup, too, because he sucked at it so nobody was posting his clips

Nah fuck that. That was always his trick, he doesn't actually think he's an idiot, it's just his get out of jail card.

Even worse, nowadays he thinks he’s a genius because he’s super rich.

His stand up was atrocious, I hate even listen to him talk about comedy and comedians because it'd be like me talking about nuclear physics and how our brains work.

Ped?

The Java Runtime Experience podcast

Huh, 'JRE' is a reaction YouTuber to me.

I think if you're a right winger who smokes weed, that makes you a libertarian, not a liberal.

Wishful thinking

I've been telling YouTube not to recommend these types of videos and it seems to work well with minimal effort on my part. When I look at the homepage, it's all cooking and math videos, and it's been that way for years now.

Doesn't work with shorts, then you just get pushed junk

Alternatively, I tell YouTube to not recommend a channel and it... doesn't recommend that channel.

No, YouTube just has an (among other examples) "young white western male" problem.

The algorithm works hard to jam you into a pigeon hole no matter how abhorrent you find the pigeon shit contained therein.

It shouldn't, I don't see them anymore by choosing the don't recommend this channel to me anymore. And I do bij so watch a ton of bjj videos, so anytime some channel pops up that uses his clips it's recommended to me. Still his own channel and that main clipping channel are things I haven't seen in a long time.

It's only misinformation if it's consumed as a soundbite devoid of context. And since you're commenting on my comment highlighting the context, I am legitimately confused as to your issue. If near real-time fact-checking on the very same podcast episode isn't enough for you: then you may just have an issue with conversational podcasts in general. Stick to printed news.

Did he apologize, and use it as a learning experience to not just blindly believe bullshit and be extra vigilant when you are spreading such bullshit to millions?

Big ups to Jamie and his google wizardry

Fact checking ideally happens before you start attributing quotes to people, forming an opinion about it, and making calls to take action.

Fact checking after the falsehood has already been stated is no longer fact checking, it's simply correcting the record.

There's the famous quote: "A lie can travel halfway across the globe before the truth can even get it's pants on.". Very relevant here. He made a big deal about Biden being unfit for office, but when the record was corrected there was no mention of Trump's fitness (not to mention it being old news in the first place). The damage was done already.

And he still doesn't learn and still make mistakes and should not have a platform.

I hope that guy received the none metaphorical kind

Not the original commenter here but this one doesn't make a direct connection, but certainly says Spotify blew money poorly that they are trying to make up for, although it mainly mentions cuts in podcasts. This one make s bit more of a correlation saying "The cancellations coincide with jobs cuts at Spotify Monday that eliminated 17% of the streaming company’s staff, or around 1,500 people. Spotify has undertaken several rounds of job cuts since October 2022. " https://fortune.com/2023/12/04/spotify-podcasts-cancelled-heavyweight-stolen/ However you're not going to find much more than that because it would require a degree of openness and honest that a shitty company isn't going to give. So it's hard to say a direct connection doesn't exist when all the data on that is kept secret by the people who profit from it.

Full moron is more than partial moron.

A partial moron might believe whatever he's told but then have a "wait a minute, something's not right here" moment. A full moron doesn't have that moment and spreads the problem to others.

Another example would be a "leopards are my face" moment. A partial moron would be surprised that approaching a leopard caused them bodily harm but learn not to do it again. A full moron would sue the leopard but do it again with their child.

Another example: a partial moron gets directions, sees the distance, thinks a half tank of gas will get them there and back despite prior trips showing the opposite. But they have a Jerry can in the trunk. A full moron wouldn't have the Jerry can and buys a bigger vehicle with a larger engine because it comes with a bigger gas tank and then blames the liberals when they still run out of gas.

Partial = recoverable, full = hopeless

JustZ is only saying Joe Rogan is a moron. The term "full moron" isn't a commonly used phrase on its own, but the word "full" followed by an adjective or noun can be used to enhance the descriptive word, such the quote "never go full retard" from the comedy movie "Tropic Thunder". The context is that an actor played a person with a mental disability in a movie, but they tried too hard, and the performance was uncomfortable for some people.

I feel compelled to note that I don't condone using hateful or disparaging language when describing the differently abled.

He steams his asshole and then smells it.

I all for the Rogan-bashing, but had he not since admitted he's seen enough evidence to realize that the moon landing was real?

However, knowing full well that he, although he considers himself a "sceptic" (in the modern sense of the word, where no actual scepticism is involved), was taken in by a conspiracy theory made up of whole cloth, it doesn't make him the least bit less likely to fooled by other conspiracy theories – probably because they, mistakenly, makes him feel smart.

He really fell into the alt-right "manosphere" crowd after Covid restrictions started rolling out I think. Those really put a damper on his two business and personal interests outside of his podcast: stand up comedy, and MMA. It was so much he moved his studio from LA to somewhere in Texas where they obviously didn't give a shit about Covid.

Well what do you know? Those are also the only episodes I ever went through. Maybe also one about Bitcoin... was Andreas Antonopoulos ever a guest? But don't answer that, it's not important, what's important is that this toxic meathead detoured into q-anon territory, then went off like an excrement bomb on the internet, not unlike infowars a few years earlier, and I have no interest in either, may they rot far away from my mind.

Yeah fair point

This strikes me as a particularly ahistoric take. I'd like to make two points in that regard.

News Radio was the biggest gig yet for both Joe Rogan and Andy Dick, who played main characters on the show from the start. Jon Lovitz was already well known from his time on Saturday Night Live -- arguably a higher-profile position than the one he took on News Radio.

Jon Lovitz wasn't spawned by News Radio, is my first point. To the contrary: Lovitz was brought onto the show as an established big-name talent after (his friend and fellow SNL alum) Phil Hartman died.

And how did Phil Hartman die? Phil Hartman was shot and killed by his wife, Brynn Omdahl, who struggled with substance abuse. According to Lovitz, Andy Dick was said to have shared cocaine with her at a Christmas party at Hartman's house.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/lovitz-speaks-out-on-dustup-with-andy-dick/

"[Andy] was just complaining and really giving me a hard time for no reason. Phil told me that they had a Christmas party and Andy was doing cocaine and he gave it to Phil's wife Brynn, who had been sober for 10 years. So Andy said to me, 'Well, you shouldn't be here,' and I said, 'Well, I wouldn't be here if you hadn't given Brynn coke in the first place.'"

After this on-set exchange, Lovitz and Dick were said to have made up and were able to work professionally together on News Radio. Later, however, when Lovitz was out at a restaurant, Dick came over to his table and invoked his ostensible involvement with Hartman's murder:

"He's standing there with liqueur dripping down his chin and he says, 'I put the Phil Hartman hex on you, you're the next one to die,'" said Lovitz. "And he's smiling, and my blood just went to my head. I wanted to smash him, but if I hit him he would have gone flying into the table behind him. He was really drunk."

My second point is that, while Jon Lovitz maybe be a "character," he's an entirely different class of character than Andy Dick. (Or Joe Rogan, for that matter, just to pretend this whole long reply still has something to do with the actual OP topic.)

I never heard of Lovitz being a dick…hell, never heard anything about him at all after that Critic show he did.

All glans, no shaft.

Good, they suck at it anyway. And podcasts are one of those rare things in this day and age that is federated, truly "open" and also mainstream so fuck them for trying to ruin that.

CJD/CWD speed running.

Oh my god, really? Even if I was in the market for brain supplements, fuck that. I ain't catching no prion disease.
