Who is Joe Rogan?

Thewatchar-illidan · January 17, 2021, 10:26pm

I keep hearing people mention this guy and saying he died.

I have no idea who he is and how he relates to the lore?

Recreational drug enthusiast

A person who the left hates.

Thequixote-staghelm · January 17, 2021, 11:05pm

He’s the Jailer.

Has a lot of cinematics on youtube.

If he’s the same guy, he actually holds quite a few “left” views.

Zaven-haomarush · January 17, 2021, 11:07pm

GTFO, Rogan originally endorsed Bernie. So no, he does not hate the left since he was going to vote for someone who called themselves a socalist.

Joe Rogan has the most popular podcast in the US. I have no idea if he died, that would be crazy. The guy is very fit and a previous martial arts competitor.

No clue who he is.

what a stupid thread

Famous World of Warcraft character that has to do with World of Warcraft and makes this post not off-topic at all

I’m definitely on the left and I definitely don’t hate Joe Rogan. I wish he wouldn’t give a platform to people like Alex jones or Gavin Mcginnes, but overall I think he’s a very interesting guy. He’s clearly very curious and thoughtful for the most part…he’s seems pretty smart and also incredibly dumb at the same time.

Eretloc-area-52 · January 17, 2021, 11:10pm

That’s why Spotify employees cried about his podcasts?

Zaven-haomarush · January 17, 2021, 11:10pm

Yes, lets only allow people to listen to those opinions that I agree with. Thinking like that is why we have what we have today.

Zaven-haomarush · January 17, 2021, 11:14pm

They cried because he had Alex Jones on his show. Don’t pretend he agrees with Alex Jones either. He asked really hard ball questions to the people he disagrees with. Also, he tires to understand the other side. Something the left should learn to do once again, since they only want to be in an echo chamber anymore.

Thequixote-staghelm · January 17, 2021, 11:15pm

Think those are the most interesting podcasts because with a two plus hour sit down you get a much better idea of who the person really is and sometimes it’s substantially different then the person you thought they were or the narrative you get from the news.

Eretloc-area-52 · January 17, 2021, 11:15pm

That right there was enough for some wanting him permanently deplatformed.

Yusan-tichondrius · January 17, 2021, 11:15pm

Buddy, there’s a reason I mentioned those two figures specifically. Alex Jones routinely encourages violence, and called the parents of murdered children crisis actors. Gavin Mcinnes is an outspoken white supremacist. Here’s one choice quote:

"I love being white and I think it’s something to be very proud of. I don’t want our culture diluted. We need to close the borders now and let everyone assimilate to a Western, white, English-speaking way of life.‘’

So, uh, yeah, it’s not about “people I don’t agree with.” I’m not a fan of Elon Musk and think Kanye has a lot of stupid opinions, but I don’t care if Rogan has them on.

Zaven-haomarush · January 17, 2021, 11:17pm

Exactly,

I really wanted to see that Trump vs Biden debate moderated by Joe Rogan happen. Both Biden and Trump would have been furious by the time Rogan got done with them. He would hit them with so many hard ball questions that both of them would have looked stupid.

Kaurmine-area-52 · January 17, 2021, 11:18pm

He’s a UFC announcer and Podcaster
Don’t concern yourself with who he is, he has great people on his podcast and they should be the focus of your attention.

Shabooyah-skullcrusher · January 17, 2021, 11:19pm

Uhh… I think he meant the left hates Rogan not the other way around.

EDIT: Oh snap I can still post
