The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

I am always disheartened when I see his podcast is always at the top of the charts, even left leaning reasonable friends i know listen to it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Some episodes are good. Dave from megadeth for example.

The problem with the podcast is Joe agrees with everyone.

Maybe they’re good? I’ll never know cause I refuse to give views to such a toxic person, and Dave Mustaine? Two toxic morons talking to each other? Sounds like a blast /s

[–] Ironfist 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

wait, im out of the loop, what did Dave Mustaine do?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The personal life section of his Wikipedia page lists more than a few examples of conservative Christian themed bigotry.

this is why I dont like to dig too much into musicians lives, they always disappoint me.

Yep. I have a friend who is very much on the left, but he's also really naïve, so he doesn't see the problem with listening to Rogan.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

yeah, imagine being so naïve you think you can listen to things without being corrupted

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

Too bad he gets "corrupted" because he is naïve and believes the things he hears on Rogan or you would have a point.

Believe it or not, many of Rogan's listeners are even less rigorous about fact checking than he is because they trust his guests even if they don't trust him.

I really enjoy when he has physicists on. That's about it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

You’re part of the problem

[–] Soulg -1 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah my bad I shouldn't be single handedly propping up the biggest podcast in the world like that I really dropped the ball.

I haven't watched it in years. I just think he has good conversations with real scientists. Cope harder and be useless.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Watch the physicists when they're talking to someone intelligent. Much better.
