Rogan is an absolute clown. Look at his interview with Kilstein. Or one of my faves, mark Gordon where he said "i know more than you" about a subject he couldn't even spell Your weird issue with CNN is telling though. Maybe stick to Hannity, Calrson etc and stop speaking for the majority of people as a whole based on "ratings" CNN is the "George Soros" of media outlets for the right.... They're not even the furthest left outlet, but they're easy to spell..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did I say that was incorrect about Joe's podcast? You felt strongly enough to bag it but not reply. Roti has felt strongly enough to bag every single post that dared challenge Rogans platform.

But as most normal people don't watch this stuff and you can actually delve very deeply to see the education levels, income and region these viewers are from it also shows and highlights again how easy it is to sway the opinions of the easily mislead Sounds like CNN is for the elites then, which is exactly what I put forward as a possibility on the original post.

-DLC- Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Someone asking about Canucks game Saturday: "should the team put on limits?" Dr. Bonnie saying there are ongoing discussions, this strain is considerably different in how it presents in shortness of incubation and illness. Thankful it's arisen now not earlier...rapid spread would have been very challenging earlier/before protection measures in place. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not JUST people with COVID...this is the total number in BC. Likely just to give an idea of how much "available space" there is during this spike. So, as of right now: there are 284 available critical care beds in BC And 2,548 hospital beds 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stawns Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 35 minutes ago, -DLC- said: There's also another element to his popularity. Fear Factor (which is how I know Joe) appealed to people based on bravado. The contestants all strut in, in peak form, red lights from emergency vehicles flashing in the background, and they declare they're not scared of anything. They're tough. Not easily intimated. Can face anything head on....bring it. People eat that stuff up. It makes them feel powerful at home, watching. MMA just reinforces that super tough image some conjure up with celebrities. Their "leader" status is developed. Except Joe's now transferring that to something that we actually should fear (to some degree, not panic but respect of the capabilities and unknowns of this thing). It's ok to be fearful and tread carefully. It's ok to show a bit of vulnerability when your "fight" is with something new and unknown. With a powerful punch. There are huge followings for people with money/status and power. Is it all warranted though? Trustworthy? I don't know who his guests are (nor do I care)...but the fact that it's HIS platform/pages rallying the troops (not theirs) tells me it's a lot of that blind following. Just like Trump won in as President....people never believed that could happen. But that's exactly what's happening, as celebrities use their TV image to promote their agenda. It's quite scary really. toxic masculinity bro culture is the scourge of the 21st century, imo. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishopshodan Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 42 minutes ago, stawns said: I mstly remember him as Joe, from Newsradio. He should have stuck to sitcoms Oh F yeah. Phil Hartman for the win. News Radio ruled. Didn't like Fear Factor but he was just the host of that gross show. I liked Joe for his DMT doc. Kinda liked 'Talking Monkey's from Space' which was a stand up special. I bring this up because I remember him having a bit about the psychology an Alpha male. He really understood the silly things that make people admire and respect so called Alphas. With this understanding, it doesn't surprise me in the least that he knows how to resonate with a male demographic. He's not as popular in the mma world anymore. I haven't read a comment section that praises him in a long time. He's seen as a company man and many fans are upset with the UFC and their business practices, mostly around fighter pay and binding contracts when fighters are supposedly independent contractors. It's one of the ways UFC doesn't have to offer health coverage. MMA fans also hate that he has become a hero for certain political and was we all know 'medical' angles. He does get some great guests but I stopped listening when it became more about controversial stuff and even Jordan Peterson over all the cool scientists he used to get like Micho Kaku and Brain Cox. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.B Cooper Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 This has turned hilarious. A bunch of people who have never actually listened to Joe’s show, but have opinions based on hand picked clips. All I can say is hahahahahahah. Joe has people from all sides on his show. He asks great questions and doesn’t try to guide them into any narrative. His ‘anti vax’ thing was noodled out by a bunch of left wing extremists who try to make anything other than their beliefs ’the devil’. Joe isn’t anti-vax. In fact, almost every episode he tells people they should get it if they feel they need it. He said he doesn’t think people who are very healthy and take proper care of themselves ‘need’ it to survive. And he is right. Look at the NHL for example. TONS of players have gotten it. Sutter is one of the only ones who still have real effects. He hasn’t said don’t get it. He hasn’t said they aren’t working. People don’t have to like him. Sure he is ‘macho’. When did that become a bad thing? He promotes healthy living. He is also extremely compassionate and everyone that knows him says he is super sweet and caring. He isn’t a fan of the wishy washy government over controlling every aspect of our lives, and considering what a $&!# job they have been doing for…….. I dunno. My 35 years on this planet at least, I agree with him. He wants people to be able to live their lives. He doesn’t want everyone living in fear. Seems reasonable. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to laugh at his boy Dana White... he got covid and immediately ran to the press to telll them that he had reached out to Joe for advice. He bragged about how, thanks to Joe, it didn't hit him hard and was going to work out 2x a day in isolation. Dana is double vaxxed.....of course covid didn't hit him that hard. He promotes healthy living-ish...imo . The guy is bio-hacker and puts all sorts into his small muscular frame. He can kick like a mule though, his knees have bounced back. Still would like him to work on his distancing on his spin kicks but I digress. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
