Credulous is the word.
Under the guise of objectivity he gives all fringe opinions equal significance.

I'm okay with skeptical and verifying but he doesn't challenge all his guests equally. I'm not saying he should be perfect, but there are some really far out ideas that need more questioning before I'm personally satisfied.
he is a cunt, literally lied about how he heard they are putting cat litter into classes so that kids eho identify as cats have somewhere to go, then when called out on it that it's bullshit he just said it's a joke or something.
the real reason litter was being put into classes was so that if a school shooting happens kids have somewhere to go and it doesn't go everywhere
it's covered in Some more News' Moral panic video

Do Americans not realize how fucked up their country sounds to the rest of us when they do this kind of shit instead of controlling you-know-what?
We absolutely do. Our country has been captured and held hostage by a small minority of selfish morons.

With his alt-right views, Joe Rogan has essentially become Rush Limbaugh with a traumatic brain injury.

I will also say it's 2023, some things are past even being sceptical about.
If you bring on a flatearther you aren't being sceptical, you're a moron.
His show is entertainment first and foremost. That means glorifying stupid bullshit for the entertainment value of it.
Most hard science is boring. Most fringe theory thinking is dramatic and thrilling.
He has some alt-right ideas and opinions too, he just hides it well. I've seen the mask slip.
Hard science can be the most wonderful things you ever heard about. You merely need someone to explains it right.

He is a moron
I hope so, because the alternative is he knows what he's doing which would be truly fucked up.

Nah he just a douche
Joe think you are wrong.
The problem with Rogan is that he doesn't have the knowledge or qualifications to push back against people spewing bullshit on his show, and so he ends up essentially making fringe, pseudo-scientific ideas seem equal to the mainstream expert consensus view.
And the outspoken wrong on the show people are oftentimes cool and charismatic, so people trust them.
the problem with rogan is that he agrees with the worst people on his show. he doesn't push back because he doesn't want to. he peaked on news radio.

I stopped listening to his podcasts when I realised he doesn't know the facts and spews what he believes are facts. I admire him to hold a conversation for as long as he does and keep it somewhat entertaining but beyond that it's nothing more than pseudo science.
One of the best greentext explanations out there
They're not wrong.
Nah they are wrong, Joe isn't a dumb guy, he's not doing what he's doing because he's some dumb meathead, he's doing it for money, fame, and to finally be part of the in-groups, which means power, he finally has a president(Trump) that accepts him and hob knobs with him.
Joe has always been a cynical self serving libertarian type, if you went back and listened or watched some of his old standup comedy you would get a better idea of how far Rogan has fallen, he's become a lot of what he hated. There was a time when people used to think that Joe would be the next George Carlin, now he's just a more palatable and successful Alex Jones.
You're reading way too much into it, his original stand up was never clever.
Who said it was clever? Joe didn't do clever comedy Joe did angry and cynical observational and political comedy. I'm not trying to call him clever or smart at all, he just isn't as dumb as the meathead everybody tries to make him out to be.

Haha holy shit, it's wild to even see Joe and George in the same sentance. It's like thinking maybe the PT Cruiser could be the spiritual successor to the 1967 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 😂

We need to know though, how good is Joe with a bow on a horse?
Lol, it kinda reminds me of Joe's whole "we've never seen a gorilla at peak gorilla" take.
Joe is short, abuses steroids, probably isn't too flexible, I can definitely see him falling off of the horse a lot while trying to shoot a bow from it.

No; he's just a credulous idiot.
This is good shit
How dare you make me see this with my morning tea.
Thank you for sharing this gift with us
Fuck me this is hilarious Jo Raw Khan
While I understand and respect the dunking in light of his detrimental effect on politics and sanity in general, I feel it's disingenuous to imply he's stupid. He's just smart enough to be dangerous
Dude has posited to guests on his podcast that he believes in forcing imprisoned people to be medical testing subjects.
Dude has no idea who dude really is.
