Do you critics approve of him interviewing Ben Anderson or Tim Denvi regarding Hunter Thompson? The show is a mixed bag but it's his mixed bag. You don't need to listen.
There's nothing remotely funny about Jones and his morons. That's right: It was not enough for these families to lose their babies. They were then subjected to harassment and death threats from the deranged acolytes of this talk-radio barbarian. The parents of one Sandy Hook victim were forced to move seven (7) times and cannot visit their son's grave. Each time they move, their new address is published online so the harassment can continue. https://www.esquire.com/news-politi...rents-depose-alex-jones-parkland-anniversary/
Him debating conspiracy theories with Eddie Bravo is a hoot and 3/4. That can exist in the same universe where doxxing is horrible .
I don't know about "completely." There are times his lack of formal education is clear: for example, he let's Jordan Peterson get away with too much. On the other hand, other guests (Thaddeus Russell for one) have pointed out on the podcast that Peterson's takes on postmodernism and Marxism are just plain bad. And like Matt says, there's no need to listen to Ben Shapiro or Alex Jones. But the one's I mentioned (Haidt, Junger) are terrific, IMO, as are most of the ones with comics. The MMA ones are probably great, too, since that's also in his wheelhouse, but I'm not a fan
Boxer. Drew with Deontay Wilder in possibly the most amazing heavyweight fight since the Rumble in the Jungle. He was talking about living as a Gypsy, his bouts with depression and his road back. Inspired shit .
Dennis McKenna is always a good one. Mike Baker, too (for something completely different). The Junger episode was ********ing great, too.
Rhonda Patrick on health and nutrition is usually helpful. Paul Stamets, the mushroom guy was interesting. Got really ********ing weird, but still pretty damn good.
That's the guy my one 55 year old buddy happened to listen to completely out of the blue (he had no idea who Rogan was before that). I think. He talked at length about that one for about a week. Oh, and Maynard James Keenan was a bunch of fun.
Now, his recent interview with "Blue Collar Comic" Ron White might be a bit weak, since he started it an hour after the aforementioned debate, and he and White were drinking whiskey and smoking weed from the start. Hmmm. There's something I'd like to see Terri Gross and her next author try this on Fresh Air . .
That’s on him but if you really are curious then there’s plenty out there to educate yourself. I’m about certain you’ve got your mind made up on Yang and no argument is going to change it.
Given enough time, almost any political discussion on the internet will tend to turn into a "libertarian fail" thread. Speaking of which, is Yang planning to issue his UBI in gold doubloons rather than worthless fiat currency? Or is that piece of supposedly eternal economic wisdom no longer relevant now, because robots?
Huh. I seem to remember that, not so long ago, the self-appointed world intellectual elite were insisting that Ron Paul had the answers to how the US government and all economies should operate. Maybe that was just a strange, surreal dream.
Good call on that one. I've seen similar segments on ESPN, of course, but they're heavily edited and given syrupy soundtracks that tell you how you're supposed to feel. And they last three minutes max. Had to return The War on Normal People before I finished it because a Yang-ganger put a hold on it so I couldn't renew it. Didn't quite make it to the Freedom Dividend part, but his diagnosis up to that point is pretty good. His argument that the next recession will kick the trend toward automation into super high gear is hair raising. Luckily for me, Lost Connections: Uncovering the Real Causes of Depression -- And The Unexpected Solutions by another Joe Rogan guest, Johann Hari, was waiting for me.
That's going to come through my college's inter-library loan, which means I need to finish six books I have out now before I get it. I've been in line for Hari's book for two months. My wife just finished this, by the way, and I've been skimming it. I think you know the author. If I do something semi-completely different in old age, and I hope I do, it is NOT going to involve more school. Still pretty damn good.
