Much like John Oliver’s Truthiness, Joe Rogan does a caricature of skepticism. He does the Question Things part, but then gets dazzled by whatever answers are spicy, instead of the most reasonable or likely.
On a completely unrelated note, I wonder what Joe Rogan would sound like after a year of sobriety from all recreational drugs, and bullshit supplements.
Joe Rogan is a cunt who straight up claimed that he knows for a fact “they put litterboxes in class rooms, because some kids feel like playing like cats”
even though in reality it was just put there so that in case of school shooting kids don’t have to pee on the floor.
then when called out on it, he just claimed “he was joking”

What do you have against John Oliver?
Nothing at all. What I was trying to say was that Joe questions stuff, but that is the extent of his brand of skepticism. While on the surface, it may sound like (to his followers, possibly himself) he’s being a skeptic, his inability to accept a dull truth, in favor of fanciful claims means that he’s doing a caricature of skepticism.
It’s fake skepticism, and is a podcast/banter version of truthiness.
