Gotta keep in.mind all of these media personalities do things like that for the attention it gets them
I have no trouble believing Joe Rogan’s support for RFK Jr. is genuine, but sure, we can pretend he’s just doing it to get attention for his humble little $250mil podcast. It’s not like he’s got a decade’s long public history of being a stupid fucking meathead or anything…
Off topic but when watching the Monarch show I found it pretty fucking hilarious when Kurt Russell’s character was like “let them right? Really? That’s all we could come up with?”
Wow, I was wrong. RFK, Jr can split the MAGA vote! President Harris should give him and Rogan a medal…
Joe Rogan finally has done something useful by pissing off stupid people.
To be fair, I’m sure a ton of stupid people were really happy about this as well.
I wonder what finally pushed him to do this. Was it leaving a bear cub in Central Park that clinched it?
I dunno, he’s probably mad he didn’t eat it
– and splitting the vote. That’ll do.
Does anyone really take Rogan seriously enough to follow his endorsement? Enough people to make a dent?
These are the people that are deeply concerned about the sexuality of M&Ms, they take every-fucking-thing seriously
These are the people that are deeply concerned about the sexuality of M&Ms
That’s…kinda weird.
Like, yeah, the green one is canonically trans. And sure, some people refer to their HRT as “Fem&M’s”, but most people don’t obsess over it like they do.
Eh maybe. To many conservative men, he’s savvy enough to make them feel edgy while still having ideas and thoughts that are mentally accessible to them. Basically, he’s saying Trump is old news, and most people looking at Trump can see he is old news.
At one point the dude had 90,000,000 listeners. That’s about 1/3rd of the country.
Granted, they’re not all US based.
not all carbon based either.
Those semi-sentient molds…
Some of them are silicone based
Silicon. But Yeah, that’s the joke.
Unless you are talking about sentient fake tits?
Sentient lip and ass injections too. All body dysmorphia matters.
*Silicon. Silicon is a crystal and silicone is a kind of rubber.
Heartbreaking. My silicone dildo gained sentience and now supports Trump 😔

4.8M views on a video posted 9 days ago. So, yeah – probably.
Honestly, Joe Rogan can get people to believe some pretty weird stuff. For example, I believe the inside of his skull may just be packed with meat. Like, an actual pulsing node of meat. I know it sounds crazy, but if it were to be true for anyone it’d be him.
unrelated, you should read the short story “they’re made out of meat” by Terry Bisson.
it’s about aliens trying to figure out humans.
Joe Rogan P-zombie confirmed 😳
Imagine that, sentient meat. I wonder what would happen if you gave a Hickory Farms summer sausage some DMT. Can sausages do DMT? Jamie, pull that up.
who paid him and how much to do it?
He backpedaled so fast. Mr. Rogan also has to take testosterone.
Bizarre. I thought RFK Jr was being bank rolled by a repub to split the vote on the dem side. Last poll has him at 6% in Michigan. Remember, split votes gave MI to Trump in 2016, assuming the Stein and Harambe votes would’ve been Hillary instead.
RFK is a conspiracy nut too. Strange guy. I’ve never listened to Rogan. But if this splits the vote the other way, great.
assuming the Stein and Harambe votes would’ve been Hillary instead.
Ah, yes, because Stein and Harambe had very similar platforms to Hillary.
Maybe, maybe not. Had a couple friends who were Tulsi fans when she was running that went full bore irate at the two part system after Hillary was selected. Bernie people as well. Felt the DNC forced Hillary down our throats and then went and voted Stein out of spite. Or didn’t vote. Moderates who didn’t want either didn’t vote.
I don’t think it had anything to do with platform, more spite than anything.
To be fair, if my uncle and dad were murdered by the CIA I’d be a conspiracy nut too. Although Republicans will probably regret elevating him now, as he seems to be peeling more people off Trump than democrats.
He’s not peeling any democrats off. Only libertarians and conservative conspiracy theorists. Aka Rogan fans. The idea that dems would just vote for a Kennedy is exactly the kind of strategy I expect from trump and his ilk.
I agree for the most part, but he’s also influential to dudebros, who could also be convinced to vote blue for drug legalization.
The problem being those dude bros are too caught up in toxic masculinity and inceldom to ever be able to vote for a dem.
I thought the idea was that his policies on the environment and affordable home ownership look good to liberal voters at first glance.
And his name.
ETA: That’s the thought process, not how I feel. Last year there were literally conservatives saying “the left will vote for a Kennedy”
If anyone gets passed the brain worms and the crazy conspiracies then maybe he’s earned it. But I doubt there’s any statistical chance he’s going to negatively impact the dem ticket.
He is a staunch anti vaxx guy.
Like Rittenhouse, he abandons Trump and then after all the death threats and boycotts he scrambles to go back to him.
Bear carcass dumping in Central Park to own the libs sealed it for Rogan.
The whole thing read to me like a Seinfeld episode - Kramer accidentally kills a whale off the coast of New York, and with the show having made dozens of Kennedy references, hearing of a Kennedy dumping a bear in Central Park would fit right in.
So this doesn’t feel even like an own to anyone, more like a parody, a comedy. And in the context of it actually happening 1. in the setting of probably the most famous one, 2. with a character from the exact family they’ve referenced many times over and 3. with the same type of bizarre things happening to wildlife one of which has been one of the most famous episodes.
To me, as a lib, it feels like the best Seinfeld/Curb Your Enthusiasm episode that’s never been written.
Edit: Now that I think about it, the story even came out because he told it to Roseanne Barr, writer of most popular sitcom just prior to Seinfeld, notwithstanding her interminable slide, with her just staring at him incredulously throughout, the whole thing feeling like a Curb Your Enthusiasm scene. Honestly, at this point Larry David is definitely thinking to himself that he could never have written anything this Larry David.
Edit 2: I completely forgot that his, Larry David’s, wife in Curb Your Enthusiasm is RFK Jr.'s actual wife. At this point I’m about 80% sure that multiple Seinfeld and/or Curb episodes were actually just Kennedy misadventures in disguise.
Can anyone explain what those endorsements are for? Is it literally just people that garner clout for a living saying “Hey I would vote for this one” or do they have actual consequences. If the former, why would anyone care?
It is just a public statement of support. There are only consequences to the extent that people care about/respect the opinion and judgment of the person giving the endorsement.
In this case, it’s valuable to RFK Jr in so far as individuals listening to Joe Rogan either think Joe has good insights into who should be president, or just want to be like him and will vote the way they think he will vote
People listen to other people’s opinions. You don’t care about joe rogans opinion, so his endorsement means nothing. Other people do listen to him and will take his endorsement into consideration. “I agree with what Rogan says alot, he’s probably more well informed than me, so if he says someone is worth the vote, well then I don’t have to think about it myself and can trust him”
It’s newsworthy when a public figure throws their endorsement around, you just don’t care about the news
Fuck this dude one way or the other
It must be very humbling for Rogan to realize his whole world is controlled by Trump and he is nothing but a bootlicker. He though he was his own man and he is learning that is not true.
It must be very humbling for Rogan to realize his whole world is controlled by Trump
Its not. Rogan’s a rat fleeing a sinking ship. In another month there will be more rats (Nick Fuentes has bailed, some of the AM Radio shills are taking a few careful steps back, and you can already see GOP fundraising emails have completely abandoned using JD Vance’s image). And - baring a Biden/Harris style shake-up and realignment with national media - I am willing to bet we’re going to see a route of media support by election day.
Nobody wants to be associated with the stink of loser-dom in the GOP. And Trump’s increasingly looking like a dead fish.
Meanwhile, Rogan’s going to keep churning out his muscle man carny act well into 2028, long after Trump is in the rear view mirror.
Do me this experiment please 🙏🥺. Go to YouTube and every time you see “Joe Rogan” anything, just go to down vote and unsubscribe…oh wait I meant, not interested.
You will find that you can’t remove Joe Rogan from your feed. It’s just going to come in the form of another video.
Sorry but it’s just you. I didn’t even know Joe Rogan was on YouTube, and I’m on that website daily.
Your dislikes don’t affect the recommendations you get; your habits do.
Same. I’ve never looked up Joe Rogan and I’ve never gotten Joe Rogan videos on YouTube.
As someone who plays Heart of Iron and watches a bunch of history and gun channels, the only thing that got YouTube to stop pushing fascists in my feed was watching Dimension 20 and Some More News.
Ty, Brennan Lee Mulligan and Cody Johnston, for fixing my algorithm.
The algorithm for me is so fucked that I get ads for deepsea oil rig sand traps, and spanish language ads for deodorant. I live in the middle of the US am poor, and only speak English.
But if you ever need an oil rig in a pinch while also smelling refreshed, man, your prepared for it
I want to meet the person the ads are ment for, are there a lot of oil rig operators watching minecraft lets plays and Pop music videos?
I listen to a lot of comedy podcasts on Spotify. Haven’t listened to Rogan in years. I literally only tune in if it’s a guest I really want to hear and can get over Rogan being there for 2-3 hours. Still, if I put on a podcast before bed and fall asleep to it, so many times it autoplays Rogan after I fall asleep. Like 90+% of the time. I legit think the algorithm pushes him at that hour to pump his numbers up, but hey, maybe I’m being a roganesque conspiracy nut.
I have zero Joe Rogan on my feed. You are literally making it worse by engaging with his content in any way (down votes being a big one). Just completely ignore content you don’t like and it’ll go away over time.
I was going to say… maybe it’s like those ubsubscribe buttons on spam email, lol.
I have not seen anything about Joe Rogan on my Youtube in well over a year. and I am literally on youtube for most of everyday.
content algorithms don’t consider your preferences; they consider your engagement. if you downvote something, you’re engaging with it. that’s good for the site. they don’t care if you hate it if it keeps you there.
Seriously on brand for Rogan!
Joe Rogan endorsing RFK JR is the most inevitable thing to ever happen. Why is MAGA even surprised? If you’ve ever listened to even one of Rogan’s podcasts, RFK JR is very much like Rogan.
Hopefully this helps Harris.
Brainworm recognize brainworm
Joe Rogan endorsing RFK JR is the most inevitable thing to ever happen.
I would have said RFK Jr is the safe, neutral, “I’m not really into politics” pick. But the latest headlines around him are such a clown show, he almost feels like the New Trump. If every new media cycle is fixated on “The crazy thing RFK Jr just did!” it sucks oxygen out of the room for the conservatives who feed on controversy.
Joe Rogan does a brilliant move by accident lol
Task failed successfully.
It all depends who RFK takes votes from and in which states. RFK has some appeal to classical liberals who dabble in science denial, and I think they’ve long been part of Trump’s base bizarrely - so yeah, more votes for RFK is less votes for Trump now in most cases.
deleted by creator
Rogan probably endorsed him because of his antivax beliefs.
Smart with a capital 5.
At this point Trump is the establishment choice for dyed in the wool assholes of whom there are many.
I seem to recall Joe Rogan calling himself dumb with some regularity. I stopped listening to him years ago; has that changed?
That’s just his “I’m just asking questions…”
To be fair, being smart is famously correlated with getting hit in the head for a living.
Not a fan of Joe, but not once in his career did he “get hit in the head for a living”.
Unless you count him doing scoring points by landing a kick here and there at a handful of Tae Kwon Do tournaments when he was in his 20s or whatever (and you shouldn’t, because I don’t think they were allowed to strike the head, and he wasn’t doing it for a living).
Joe was/is an expert in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, a 100% grappling martial art, and anyone who would ever strike an opponent in the head, would no question be eliminated from the competition, and likely barred from ever participating again.
Due to this intimate knowledge of BJJ, Joe’s job at the UFC was color commentary. He didn’t actually fight anyone. That’s not like meant as a dig, it’s just the truth.
As someone who used to watch MMA back in the golden years (PRIDE NEVER DIE! Early 00s PrideFC is like nothing that has ever come before, or since. And nothing will ever match that shit again imo. Shogun’s 2005 tournament run? Fucking madness), Joe was a fantastic commentator. Shit, he wasn’t even a bad podcast host back then.
Dunno if he smoked too much DMT with Eddie Bravo or something, but it’s a bummer to see such a previously (actually) curious and open minded man go down this path… Especially given how many young, impressionable listeners he has.
It was the Spotify money.
To be fair he’s the world leading expert on Man-to-Man Anal.
No he’s not /s
I think you missed this users sarcasm
I was being contrarian to his mention of Rogan being contrarian. I should’ve added the “/s” to it. Oh well.
Rohan though never claims to be smart. Always just keeps saying that he’s a dummy.
Not a shock.
