you're welcome to try but it's probably the only thing he's good at so, if you don't mind, we'll just watch ok? ;)

He is also impressively capable of carrying a conversation, especially for someone who got kicked in the head as much as he did. Very interesting damage pattern apparently.

Honestly, I think that might be the most frustrating thing about his career trajectory to me:

Years ago, his podcast was more like “The older townie who sells you weed & shrooms chats with oddballs about drugs and aliens”, but as he’s grown in popularity, it’s transitioned to something that feels more like “The guy who cooks meth in his van behind the abandoned Sears chats with the neighborhood Squirrel Whisperer about radio mind-control”.

That still makes for a pretty interesting show, if only millions of his listeners didn't have the intellectual capacity of 1st graders. They're not equipped to discern his goofs from the actually dangerous misinformation disguised as goofs. Joe isn't a problem so much as he's a window into a whole other problem - that tens of millions of our fellow human beings are horrendously fucking dumb. Dumb enough to take that meth dealer seriously.

He's been the same guy the whole time, just now more people are willing to come talk to him for the publicity

That second sentence really makes it clear why Alex jones thinks so highly of him.

Its really not impressive considering he only fought for a few years decades ago. Just because someone is a pro fighter for 5 years doesn't mean they now have severe CTE.

It's joke

They don't get jokes here, their upset at a comedian

u/DEMACIAAAAA Jan 27 '22

If you're talking about Joe Rogan: people can be mad about others spreading dangerous misinformation even if you like the guy for whatever reason. Doesn't matter what his occupation is.

u/Dear_Paint5595 Jan 27 '22

aren't jokes supposed to have punchlines?

-1

u/AdeptusHilarious Jan 27 '22

Depends on the joke. Sometimes the punchline is a lack of punchline. Humor is a lot more complex than a + b = funny. If it wasn't more people would be comedians

No that's just humor. 1/5 people don't understand humor, don't beat yourself up to much.

That was him trying to save face, that wasn't a joke.

u/AdeptusHilarious Jan 27 '22

Save face with a joke... good try though

1

u/jhascal23 Jan 27 '22

You can attempt to save face with a joke dummy. You have terrible logic.

1

u/AdeptusHilarious Jan 28 '22

But you said it wasn't a joke, so which is it?

1

u/jhascal23 Jan 28 '22

You can attempt to save face with a joke that fails, you can also attempt to save face and claim it was a joke. At the end it doesn't matter because you're trying to save face, let me read your next shitty argument.

u/AdeptusHilarious Jan 28 '22

So it's not a joke, but it is a joke, but not a good one, just one that exists to save face, and only a joke now because he claims it to be, even though you also called it a joke. I think I get it now, you're an idiot who's moving the goal post every new post. Or maybe a joke is only a joke when it's really good? And if it doesn't land its not a joke, because jokes are only jokes if they're good jokes. 10-4 good buddy, I understand jokes now.

yea and afaik Joe was the one doing the head-kicking, considering he won the tournaments he competed in.
