Rogan is part of the dorks he is trying to distance himself from. “It just seems so insane based on what he ran on, I mean, this is why a lot of people feel betrayed, right?" M***********, it was ALL right there! We tried to tell you about Project 2025, but you fell for the bullshit. Now you want to wash your hands of the shit show you created.

The people that Joe Rogan calls paid actors he ends up agreeing with a year later. He’s a stupid piece of shit.

When Andy D*** is both more funny and smarter than you, Joey shoulda packed it up directly after News Radio.

Is he though? The last I saw he was joining up with the streamer degen IP2 people on their RV trips. Even the degenerates couldn't stand Andy even after a short period of time

No he's not.  Most people who live in LA have an andy d*** story.  I didn't add a /s but didn't think I needed to because he's a mess.

He does what the analytics says to do. Spotify does hand out hundreds of millions of dollars and allow him to do whatever he wants

Just like majority of effluencers. Its incredible how people think that they smart but they need to be hooked on people like Rogan to do their thinking. Being hooked to these cult media personalities is surely a indication of a persons stupidity when they cant clear think for themselves.

He didn't fall for anything. He's realizing this war is deeply unpopular, for one he can say 'look I'm a very independent voice in the podcast space' and two stay away from the public backlash. Though it's blatantly clear he's a grifter for whatever side pays.

Yah Rogan's interview with pedo king trump was just 3 hours of trump attempting to fellate himself with Rogan cheering him on like "WOW you're really good at that! This is blowing my mind; you guise..." No pushback on his manymany lies, no clarification for his bullshit it was the dumbest 3 hours I've ever spent. Rogan's success formula was providing duchebros conversational fodder from smarter people so they can hit on women smarter than them / not sound like complete chuds with lukewarm IQs who only care about MMA and insecure manosphere bullshit

Gunter5 Mar 28, 2026 +15
I love how he would claim ignorance and spread obvious lies... I get its a podcast but its the 1# podcast in the country, he could easily afford a team of fact checkers but that would be inconvenient

BINGO. In 2028 he'll find a new reason to support the new "anti establishment" Republican candidate.

You think it’s blatantly clear he’s a grifter? OR, maybe he’s a free thinker that is just saying his true opinion. People are so quick to say grifter when if you just took a step back and realized that having an opinion tied to current climate might be more accurate.

hagcel Mar 28, 2026 +28
He's either a grifter and didn't believe the hype or an idiot and he did. Either way, he promoted this shit.
28
defiant-raven Mar 28, 2026 +20
The 'current climate' consists of many different viewpoints, that doesn't negate my statement, he's still a grifter. Everyone has an opinon, that's a moot point. He changes his to suit how the winds are blowing. And I'm sure you're 'just asking questions' trying to get people to really see all sides of an issue 🙄

Main-Inspection-8605 Mar 28, 2026 +3
>>Everyone has an opinon, that's a moot point. He changes his to suit how the winds are blowing. He wants to play both sides, but that just won’t work so well when a quarter of the waking world can see his every thought & move before it happens. He reaches a point where he’ll start losing support from at least one side. The living matriarch of my family is in a similar position. She wants everyone in the family to be happy, something that was tricky at times with 7 people that just isn’t gonna work for 24+ people. She’ll run her nerves ragged but eventually too many cooks spoil the main course.

Etzell Mar 28, 2026 +16
>OR, maybe he’s a free thinker that is just saying his true opinion.  Joe Rogan is a deeply stupid man whose beliefs mirror whoever he's talking to in the moment because he doesn't actually think about what's being said.

FlammulinaVelulu Mar 29, 2026 +5
Not only does he push right-wing manosphere bullshit, but he also sells supplements. That's text book grifter. I'm sorry you can't think your way to the truth, keep glazing Joe and someday you'll get there...

hodorhodor12 Mar 28, 2026 +13
I guarantee that all of this is no surprise to him. Rogan went along because he needs to maintain his audience for money. That’s how it is for all these guys who are leaders of higher up figure heads. They are smart enough to know what’s happening.

It’s all premeditated. This way he can go back and claim he’s not biased, or pick and choose whatever past quote he wants if the war goes well vs bad.

Rogan told Harris he can’t have her on the podcast because he’s taking a personal day and then flipped a b**** to host Trump on the very same f****** day lmao

Smallpaul Mar 29, 2026 +3
Actually the Iran war was directly against Trump’s campaign promises. I think Rogan was dumb for trusting a proven liar but he is correct that Trump promised many times not to go to war with Iran.
3
kung-fu_hippy Mar 29, 2026 +8
Just in Trump’s first term, he withdrew from the Iranian nuclear deal, assassinated an Iranian general, and threatened war crimes against Iran (threatening to target cultural sites in addition to military ones). A promise from him that he wasn’t going to go to war with Iran was worth less than even his normally bullshit promises.

Created and benefited from. He got to go to the inauguration party and he's for sure getting some kind of kick back from the Whitehouse UFC fight.

qriousqestioner Mar 29, 2026 +1
He knew what he was then. He's a fluke. He's the not-smart public intellectual heir to rush Limbaugh as he has always been on a good day. If he had half the brain he pretends, he knew. F*** him. He's stupid. He's the belle of the tea party still twerking for chode cred. Ptooey.

MattyBeatz Mar 29, 2026 +1
So dumb. It wasn’t a switcheroo, everyone with half a brain saw it. Anyone with a memory longer than a goldfish remembered his first term. Hell Kamala Harris said it out loud to all our faces on national tv. But you thought she was being shrill and rather chose to hear what you wanted to hear because he was willing to visit your podcast studio in Texas and you didn’t want to travel.

You’ve essentially simped the equivalent of ‘he’s not a bad rapist because he has a pretty small pecker.’ That’s not the strong, principled stance you seem to think it is.
1
Slayriah Mar 28, 2026 +250
let me guess… for the next 2 years, Rogan will act like he’s never been part of Maga; that he’s above it all; that he’s an “independent thinker”, but come November 2028 he will fall right back in line behind the republican candidate because he is a propaganda mouthpiece for the Republican Party.
250
brain-in-the-jar Mar 29, 2026 +20
The "independent thinker" brand is maintained by opposing conventional thinking. Rogan sided with Trump because Trump advocated against traditional Republican views. Now Trump is in power so Rogan must advocate against him. The point is not to be *correct* or *consistent*, the point is to be *different* so you keep your audience. See also the NYT opinion page.

There was a time when the show was actually good and the guests interesting and allowed to expound upon novel ideas, science, and research without Joe saying much. Now it’s constant politics, covid, woke this and that. I think we all need less politics and war but it’s just shoved down our throats everywhere you look.

americanspirit64 Mar 29, 2026 +1
So let me get this straight, this is an actual news story, about one dork, Joe Rogan, who at one time supported Trump and now is criticizing him, fighting with another dork, JD Vance who supports Trump, until the 2028 elections roll around, when he will then also be criticizing Trump, as he tries to get elected, as he will then believe it is his turn to be the next dorky President. This isn't news, it is an episode of Real Housewives, or whatever that show was called. This is the real news. American Politics is one giant Republican embarrassment followed daily by another.

Anyone remember Joe Rogan from the era of like 2009-2011? He was an alright guy. Tripped out a bunch, told crazy stories with a great ability to help you visualize it, had some funny people on but then some scientist to break down how LSD worked or some random DMT explanation? Early to mid 20’s me liked that guy. He was cool. I don’t know who this POS is now. It’s like 2 entirely different people: R.I.P to the guy I remember

Perfect_Opposite2113 Mar 29, 2026 +2
I started losing interest when he kept revisiting the good old days at the comedy store with his guests. Bored the shit outa me. Mostly stopped listening but would check in every once in awhile but he always seemed to have MAGA bros on and those people just grate me. I liked the goofball pot head conspiracy, cryptozoology, alien dork stuff like you mentioned but those days are gone it seems.
2
Terrible_Lift Mar 29, 2026 +2
Oh like I said, in my mind they’re completely different people. I feel like he spent half of 2 years just talking about psychedelics, weed, his time on fear factor, and comedy. With some martial arts talk, little facts and tidbits, just to broaden things out some more. That guy is dead bro. Wherever he went on his last big DMT trip, I’m convinced that guy got stuck there. And the universe shitted out this one in his place

>”I think we have many, many fewer dorks than the far left, but everybody's got some dorks,” Vance said. “We love our dorks. We love our cool kids. We love anybody who wants to save the country.” Without our dorks we wouldn’t be anywhere near power and most certainly not ending the American experiment.

LionTigerWings Mar 28, 2026 -13
Listnook won’t hear this, but Joe is a right leaning centrist not a hard right maga. He’s always been this way, at least in the last 10 years. He’s always is a “both sides suck” type of guy but when push comes to shove he falls on the right side of the line. Not only this, but he’s someone who gets off on being “enlightened” and outside of the mainstream. When maga went full mainstream and basically controlled every facet of America, he pushed back because maga has become the establishment.
