I know of someone who says they listen to Joe Rogan podcasts (political I assume) but I don’t know what this means or what the connotations are. Both this person and I live in east asia.

    That’s entertaining, and for frequent listeners it lowers the threshold of disbelief. Because obviously Joe has some areas or guests of true expertise. How to distinguish that from bullshit? He talks about all of these things in the exact same mannerisms.

      The user you are responding meant “what if that someone that brings up Joe is just talking about his previous acting career?”, not “what if that someone that Joe brings to his show is just talking about his previous acting career?”

      I think you read it as the second sentence but it’s quite clear since they quoted your first sentence, not the second one. And somehow they got downvoted for being confused with your response.

        Basically even if someone it talking about the previous acting career, which on the surface should seem credible. It’s really hard to properly judge if the person actually is creditable because of how often Joe will interview uncredible people and spin them as creditable.

        Basically Joe’s creditability has be harmed so it’s hard to trust anything or anyone he talks to at face value

          You know, I once tried to explain to someone on reddit that Joe Rogan wasn’t always bald and there is evidence of this when he was on Newsradio and he had a full head of hair back then.

          Idiot on reddit just kept arguing that he was always bald and didn’t even care that video evidence was being posted because it was more important to hate Rogan than to accept factual evidence of something so incredibly minimal on the scale of things.

          Like why would it be important if he was bald or not? And why would hating him be more important than something being a fact?

          Anyway, I asked cause I love Newsradio but often can’t talk about it because people will either figure out that Joe Rogan was on there, or they already know and then think I’m a psychotic alt right idiot.

          All because I watch a show that existed before that guy was ever doing a podcast.
