    Brain worms and bear cruelty are hot button issues for Joe Rogan, apparently. Is anyone really surprised the nutjob would pick the nutjob candidate?

      He just admitted to leaving a bear cub carcass in Central Park with a bike on it in a scene like the bike hit and killed the bear cub. He had the bear cub in his car so he could skin (and I think eat it) but had to go to a diner and the next logical thing was leave the corpse in a park.

        And a man who was only prevented by a red-eye flight from eating a roadkill bear he picked up in the morning and left undressed in his car all day is very much the type of person at high risk for brainworms.

      You have no idea. There’s genuinely too much crazy stuff to cover in a comment. Worth looking into purely for entertainment value.

      I recommend starting with the recent dead bear story or the brain worm thing.

      He’s also got a worm in his brain.

      That’s not a joke. It’s real, and it are part of his frontal lobe, and it’s still in there, and it’s necrotic at this point.

      He ran an anti mmr campaign in the American Samoas, resulting in him indirectly killing 85 children. He also drove his second wife to suicide due to his sex addiction.

        RFK Jr doesn’t have a sex addiction, he’s just an asshole (and rapist), as proven when moved that dead wife out of her burial spot.

      Spoiler candidates are mostly bad news for Democrats, but I can’t imagine many people who would be swayed by a Joe Rogan endorsement would have voted (D} anyway.

        That’s why this move is weird to me. I assume Rogan would want Trump to win much more than Harris, but endorsing RFK Jr does nothing but convince his listeners (who are largely Trump voters) to peel off from Trump. The conservative ploy with RFK is not going to work out how they want it to.

          Didn’t trump have a talk with brainworms like a month back? I vaguely remember that a poll showed rfk stealing more from Trump.

      Dumb American here. Is this the definition of harpic that you’re using here? I’ve never seen the word before and outside of UD, the only search result I was getting was for a UK toilet bowl cleaner.

    I can’t wait for the tide to turn against Joe Rogan and he becomes another has-been. He’s done way too much damage on a lot of important issues.

      I don’t understand how more people don’t see this. It drives me insane. “Did you watch the interview with Joe Rog-” “NO!!!”

        Maybe, but maybe it’s worth telling the magats who can’t be saved to watch, they could possibly listen to the guy who covered people in magats for a living and not vote for Project Orange

          I don’t know that Rogan is turning people off of Trump. I don’t know his personal stance because I pay zero attention to the man, but the kind of people he gives a platform to, and his own theories, I don’t think anyone would be better off after listening to him

        He was interesting before the Spotify integration. When he had stoners on and just talked about aliens and shit. But then it got really weird with his hatred for California and all that arc.

          I think the rot really set in before the Spotify stuff. I’ve never used Spotify, so anything exclusive to that platform is something I miss. I occasionally listened to his stuff before the Spotify deal, but I’d stopped listening long enough before that change that it didn’t change anything for me.

          What seemed to change for me is that originally he really was just asking questions. He admitted that he was uninformed and he asked his guests questions on what they claimed to be experts about. Often his guests were real experts, but sometimes it was a conspiracy theorist. When it was a conspiracy theorist, often they looked dumb when Rogan asked a pretty basic question and the answer was ridiculous.

          But, over time he went from honestly asking questions to “just asking questions”. Like, he had his mind made up and was instead trying to push some kind of ideology.

          What made it especially bad is that his Spotify Exclusivity deal started around the same time as the Pandemic, and if he’s not an anti-vax nutjob, he’s at least nutjob adjacent.

          My personal opinion, he hasn’t been interesting since Fear Factor, and he wasn’t even the interesting part

    I wonder if Joe’s use of deworming medication makes him feel like he and RFK Jr. are kindred numbnuts.

      Whoaaa whoa now, I like that game. Let’s not compare the two. The Mind Flayers at least LIKE brains instead of totally lacking them.

        What game, singular? You’re not saying you think that BG3 is the game to spawn illithid as a concept, right?

            Eh, y’all can suck on your own downvotes. 🤣 D&D is not a “game” in and of itself; though one could describe “playing a game of D&D”, that would be a fairly awkward/unusual way to phrase it. BG3 is, without question, the single most famous permutation of this IP (and the corollary “illithid”/“mind flayer”) to date. Thafuq else could you mean, son? 🤌🏽

        Nah, Rogan can’t stop eating and RFK was eating roadkill to satiate his worm. The telepathic brainworms don’t eat the brains. They take them over. Stick their tendrils in deeply. Synaptic activity looks like a Christmas tree. Builds quite the appetite.
