    It must be very humbling for Rogan to realize his whole world is controlled by Trump and he is nothing but a bootlicker. He though he was his own man and he is learning that is not true.

      It must be very humbling for Rogan to realize his whole world is controlled by Trump

      Its not. Rogan’s a rat fleeing a sinking ship. In another month there will be more rats (Nick Fuentes has bailed, some of the AM Radio shills are taking a few careful steps back, and you can already see GOP fundraising emails have completely abandoned using JD Vance’s image). And - baring a Biden/Harris style shake-up and realignment with national media - I am willing to bet we’re going to see a route of media support by election day.

      Nobody wants to be associated with the stink of loser-dom in the GOP. And Trump’s increasingly looking like a dead fish.

      Meanwhile, Rogan’s going to keep churning out his muscle man carny act well into 2028, long after Trump is in the rear view mirror.

      The whole thing read to me like a Seinfeld episode - Kramer accidentally kills a whale off the coast of New York, and with the show having made dozens of Kennedy references, hearing of a Kennedy dumping a bear in Central Park would fit right in.

      So this doesn’t feel even like an own to anyone, more like a parody, a comedy. And in the context of it actually happening 1. in the setting of probably the most famous one, 2. with a character from the exact family they’ve referenced many times over and 3. with the same type of bizarre things happening to wildlife one of which has been one of the most famous episodes.

      To me, as a lib, it feels like the best Seinfeld/Curb Your Enthusiasm episode that’s never been written.

      Edit: Now that I think about it, the story even came out because he told it to Roseanne Barr, writer of most popular sitcom just prior to Seinfeld, notwithstanding her interminable slide, with her just staring at him incredulously throughout, the whole thing feeling like a Curb Your Enthusiasm scene. Honestly, at this point Larry David is definitely thinking to himself that he could never have written anything this Larry David.

      Edit 2: I completely forgot that his, Larry David’s, wife in Curb Your Enthusiasm is RFK Jr.'s actual wife.

    I guess we’re going to start seeing evidence that Joe Rogan is trans now from the people that “can always tell.”

    Joe Rogan endorsing RFK JR is the most inevitable thing to ever happen. Why is MAGA even surprised? If you’ve ever listened to even one of Rogan’s podcasts, RFK JR is very much like Rogan.

    Hopefully this helps Harris.

      It all depends who RFK takes votes from and in which states. RFK has some appeal to classical liberals who dabble in science denial, and I think they’ve long been part of Trump’s base bizarrely - so yeah, more votes for RFK is less votes for Trump now in most cases.

      Joe Rogan endorsing RFK JR is the most inevitable thing to ever happen.

      I would have said RFK Jr is the safe, neutral, “I’m not really into politics” pick. But the latest headlines around him are such a clown show, he almost feels like the New Trump. If every new media cycle is fixated on “The crazy thing RFK Jr just did!” it sucks oxygen out of the room for the conservatives who feed on controversy.

      Off topic but when watching the Monarch show I found it pretty fucking hilarious when Kurt Russell’s character was like “let them right? Really? That’s all we could come up with?”

    Do me this experiment please 🙏🥺. Go to YouTube and every time you see “Joe Rogan” anything, just go to down vote and unsubscribe…oh wait I meant, not interested.

    You will find that you can’t remove Joe Rogan from your feed. It’s just going to come in the form of another video.

      I have zero Joe Rogan on my feed. You are literally making it worse by engaging with his content in any way (down votes being a big one). Just completely ignore content you don’t like and it’ll go away over time.

      Sorry but it’s just you. I didn’t even know Joe Rogan was on YouTube, and I’m on that website daily.

      Your dislikes don’t affect the recommendations you get; your habits do.

        As someone who plays Heart of Iron and watches a bunch of history and gun channels, the only thing that got YouTube to stop pushing fascists in my feed was watching Dimension 20 and Some More News.

        Ty, Brennan Lee Mulligan and Cody Johnston, for fixing my algorithm.

          The algorithm for me is so fucked that I get ads for deepsea oil rig sand traps, and spanish language ads for deodorant. I live in the middle of the US am poor, and only speak English.

      I listen to a lot of comedy podcasts on Spotify. Haven’t listened to Rogan in years. I literally only tune in if it’s a guest I really want to hear and can get over Rogan being there for 2-3 hours. Still, if I put on a podcast before bed and fall asleep to it, so many times it autoplays Rogan after I fall asleep. Like 90+% of the time. I legit think the algorithm pushes him at that hour to pump his numbers up, but hey, maybe I’m being a roganesque conspiracy nut.

      content algorithms don’t consider your preferences; they consider your engagement. if you downvote something, you’re engaging with it. that’s good for the site. they don’t care if you hate it if it keeps you there.

        It’s a match made in heaven in Joe’s eyes. Rfk Jr says what joro thinks but sounds smarter when he says it. It’s still bullshit. But it sounds smarter so Joe likes it. Specifically the anti vaccine stuff

      RFK is just as crazy as Trump but with a slightly more sensible policy. That’s not saying much, but he’s useful as a spoiler candidate. I feel like he’s gonna take more from Trump than Harris.
