I know of someone who says they listen to Joe Rogan podcasts (political I assume) but I don’t know what this means or what the connotations are. Both this person and I live in east asia.

    In the way that white middle class housewives watched Oprah, white fitness bros tend to like Joe Rogan for all the same reasons:

    Its where they get their news, their political misinformation, their performance enhancement drug info, and their pseudoscience wellness products.

      Used to be Art Bell, then a breif flash of a Johnny Carson … that got turned into an Oprah.

      And now it seems, from afar, to be filling the vaccum formerly occupued by Alex Jones.

          Most of the first thousand were either comics, bjjbros, or guests from CoastToCoast.

          The McKenna brothers, Ghram Handcock before the fame, etc.

          It was kinda neat then.( Except for a few of the regulars.)
