Some episodes are good, the one with Dave Mustaine for example

If you want to run your fingers through liquid shit trying to find the scattered diamonds, I'm not gonna stop you - but is it really worth it?

As a Megadeth fan it was surprisingly good. I'm not a regular viewer. Joe isn't smart but I think he can be a good interviewer

He establishes a good rapport with guests. But sometimes he uses that to lull people into agreeing with some of his fucked up shit.

He asked Coffeezilla (guy who does journalism about online scams) about trans rights. Coffeezilla rightly responded something like "I don't know this isn't something I'm an expert in." The look on Rogan's face was like, Eh I guess I didn't get you on that one.

And it's weird how he tries to create controversy. He's already the #1 podcaster, why is he doing these underhanded tricks to stir up controversy to gain notoriety?

It was a better show when he was just a dumb guy talking to smart people. That was a lot of fun. Don't know why he didn't just stick with that.

I agree with you. That's why the majority of episodes are unwatchable the last few years. I still click though when he has an especially interesting guest, the Dave one is probably the best interview with him of all time

I'd just scroll through the guest list until I found someone I knew or seemed interesting.

It's pathetic that saying something like this even gets downvoted. Lemmy sucks

This reeks of “Yeah, Twitter sucks, but I’m not deleting my account because “rEaSoNs.”

Can you explain what you mean?
