My 27 yr old sibling is a hard core follower of Joe Rogan 💩

What are some progressive channels/people/content that I could have my sibling start watching instead?

Preferably something that has a similar flavor - example: male host, muscular, easy to digest. I think that will make the transition easier.

My personal preferences are Seth Meyers and John Oliver, but Last Week Tonight (John Oliver) is even a heavy watch for me sometimes!

[No Andrew Hubbard. He’s another fake.]

Thank you!

    If he’s a “hard follower” of Joe Rogan than he likely won’t be interested in other content. Rogan is a fool, but that’s why people find him appealing. Content that is insightful and educational is the opposite of the junk food of Rogan.

    Maybe instead, when Rogan says something like “Bro did you know like the pineal gland of the chimpanzee produces anti-covid hormones? This is just what I’ve heard. Look it up. By the way did you see the tree growing in my toilet?” You can help your sibling by teaching them ways to think, reason, and critically evaluate the BS that freely flows from the Roganverse.

      Hey be careful when you are blatantly misquoting Joe Rogan to benefit your own exaggerations.

      He clearly says that the pineal gland produces DMT. And you know how much Joe Rogan loves DMT.

      I’m a fan of Joe Rogan and I gotta say, I don’t think he says things like this. And I don’t think you’ve ever listened to Joe Rogan, if you think he does.

      Doesn’t that bother you even just a little bit, that you form strong opinions about things with no direct knowledge of them?
