Joe Rogan Says It’s a ‘Fact’ That Jan. 6 Was a False Flag, Cites Ray Epps

Rogan promoted the conspiracy theory that Epps was an “agent provocateur” for the feds, a baseless claim that has led to a defamation suit against Fox News.

I wonder sometimes if he is actually stupid and actually believes some of this stuff or if he just says outrageous shit to get people to listen to his show.
So he’s either a fucking moron or a fucking troll, neither of which I’d wanna listen to.
He's stupid. He used to think the Moon landing was faked.
It is a fact that Joe Rogan is a cringy moron.
He changed his mind on that?
I can't remember who finally convinced him (Neil DeGrasse Tyson maybe?) but yes.
He can be both.
It's Schrodinger's Douchebag:
3a. if reaction is good for self - repeat outrageous thing
3b. if reaction is not good for self - dismiss outrageous thing as "joke"
I would argue that someone who says outrageous lies to garner attention is actually stupid, regardless of whether he believes it or not.
I hope he gets sued into poverty, but I have no faith in our legal system.
He's been hit in the head a lot. Made a career out of being hit in the head.
I thought he made his career as an occasionally funny screaming stand up comic. And then as a mma commentator, then as a deplorable pod cast guy.
He also did Fear Factor, a decent show.
He started out as a Taekwondo fighter, then a kickboxer before he started commentary.
I've always believed they were serious about learning. I remember being frustrated that people are often abusive instead of explaining why dumb thoughts are dumb but after like 10 years of multi-hour interviews with smart people they don't seem to be making much progress. Maybe there is a constant inflow of new dumb listeners, and most last a few years and kind of graduate out of listening, but he has to stay the same for the whole thing to work.
