This is the show I remember from the few full eps I listened to.
It's so vague and scattered with a thousand shallow, populist, conspiracy, libertarian grabs on topics they know nothing about. But they have something for everyone, and anyone can pattern-match and read into it whatever they like because there is NOTHING IN THERE.
Note: the video is 12 hours, but it's the same one hour show seamlessly looped 12 times
Tim does an amazing job with that, I wonder if someone could watch it and believe it was profound conversation and not a parody.
I didn't listen to the Rock one, mainly because everything I read said that the Rock told a whole bunch of lies about certain stuff (MMA) and Rogan just sucked up his arse, no thanks

Only bit I saw he claimed he was going to fight in Pride but his timeline didn't matchup at all with reality. Blatant lie and Joe would have known...
The Rock isn't a person anymore, he's just a walking marketing machine. Can't say anything close to out of line, just smile and nod. Not real whatsoever
Misinformation! It's actually a good example of how Rogan lets untruths get on his podcast, it's like a conversation in a pub with someone he's just met. For me in that situation I don't pull someone up on their bullshit cause I've just met them, my mates obviously I would.

Yeah agreed. The podcast wouldn't flow if he just argued with everyone every time
It's just a chat with 2 idiots that gets recorded for other idiots to listen to if they choose.

You think that absolves Rogan of his civic responsibility given he's the face of the world's biggest podcast?
Are you serious?

Yeah, because people are bound to make gaffes when they are speaking in an unedited manner for more than 10 hours a week.
You realise the mistake was acknowledged a mere seconds after it was made, as is almost always the case with his show.
Political-like mudslinging over invariable gaffes is the real embarrassment.
Also to the fool with the Palestinian flag, who was posting in here saying all his podcast are is him "talking shit", I have listened to probably 7-8 podcasts in the last 1.5 months, and he literally talks for about 20% of them. If he has interesting experts on then he lets them talk almost the whole time as he wants to hear what they have to say. Most of these people are incredibly interesting and have very edifying things to share.
If your take is that he gets paid to "talks shit", then you are either listening to ones where he interviews bonehead comedians and MMA fighters, which is your #1 problem, or you are just flat-out guessing (and getting it wrong).

Was he tricked by all the embarrassing UFO nonsense that was happening in America recently?

He had a former Air Force pilot on a year or two ago who was talking about some of the stuff he'd seen, I listened to a bit of it, some of the stories were Rogan "ccccrrraaaazzzzzyyyyy"

The mistake was barely acknowledged...and then it was brushed over. His and his mate literally took the piss when they thought it was Biden who made those comments but the moment they became aware it was Trump, there was crickets.
If you think that Rogan's lack of research, obvious partisanship and unwillingness to genuinely apologise when he gets it wrong is in any way acceptable, given his listener numbers, then shame on you.
It's not the first time either. I remember his anti-vax, tin-foil hat stance being destroyed on air by an actual expert and Rogan brushed it off like it was of no importance.
The guy is a grub. And his blind followers lack the ability to see through him.
People take the guy waaaay too seriously. It just entertainment interviews for the most part.

True but Rogan really needs to stay in his lane. Given there are millions of people who listen to him there is a danger that more than a handful take some of his outlandish conspiracy theories seriously.
As entertainment he is fine. I even like some of his stuff, especially where he is talking with other people in entertainment who steer clear of actual important topics. But he is hopelessly exposed when anybody of genuine intellect throws something at him that he doesn't understand. This is compounded by an alarming lack of pre-work for such interviews. Rogan tries to wing it and mugs himself off.
Yep. If Rogan doesn't want his show to be treated more seriously than he thinks it should, then don't have guests on that are portrayed as experts in certain areas, to talk about serious, impactful issues and be unprepared to consistently challenge them. And he is actually capable of pushback, seen in the past with the likes of Matt Walsh, Candace Owens (though it's not hard to challenge them).
Rogan, and at least some of his fans, want both worlds, the light entertainment and the serious commentary, but without any/much of the responsibility for the latter. The added veneer of credibility also changes the way some impressionable people are informed about serious topics, when discussed with guests who are on as light entertainment.

He does love a "suuurrreee" in a non-sarcastic way. Funny how Aussies only ever say it sarcastically in that context.
