    Rogan is a truly horrible human being. I absolutely cannot stand that asshole. He is the walking and talking Dunning-Krueger Effect. He is a washed up comedian who moved on to making people eat disgusting stuff on a shitty reality show to thinking he is some sort of brilliant host.

      He’s like the unfortunate result of Jerry Springer, Rush Limbaugh and Morton Downey Jr spreading idiocy and bullshit everywhere, setting the stage

            Yeah, Art Bell was a kook, but he was also a legitimately nice guy. Rogan is an arrogant prick.

                  Just look into the circumstances

                  I loved C2C, mostly in reruns sadly.

                  And Art was awesome as a host and did a ton of good stuff in his life.

                  But damn if how the wives died is not suspicious as fuck.

            I will give him credit for one thing- when he got lung cancer, he went on a huge apology tour for his promoting smoking, which is more than pretty much any conservative would do today.

              I thought about that then I got mad all over again because of the “Now that it affects me, it’s important!” angle. But yeah, at least he was apologetic about that one thing and it would def be unthinkable any regressive would apologise about anything today.

              Rush Limbaugh (who coincidentally replaced Downey when Downey got fired from his job) took the “smoking is a-ok!” to his lung-cancerous grave

                Oh yeah, it’s a very small amount of credit, but I will give it where it’s due. He was otherwise a colossal piece of shit.

      I feel like somone correct me if I’m wrong, that early on he was decent. He listened and had good long interviews.

      But, somewhere along the way he started to like the smell of his own farts and things when down the crazy hole.

        I share that opinion. The shat began a bit before the spotify deal, but after it was downhill via log ride off shit mountain.

        I listened to him for a while, then found him complaining more and more about the left. That was mostly fine since he complained about conservatives as well and he supported Bernie Sanders, but I got fed up with him because he wouldn’t have liberals on the show to discuss the topics he clearly knew nothing about yet loved to bring up constantly.

        He’s a guy who touts himself on being open, curious, and willing to learn, but what I found was the exact opposite. Any time there was a guest on his show who disagreed with something and the conversation turned into more of a debate, he’d say that having that person on was a mistake. Ultimately I stopped listening when he proved himself to be a blowhard hypocrite.
