I used to like him but I can't stand him now for the above reasons. I have no respect for someone who knowingly gives a HUGE platform to grifters. It's the biggest podcast in the world so anything said on there has a significant cultural impact.

Nobody was talking about RFK until he was a guest. Now there's tons of people who think he's a real candidate for the presidency because ..why else would Joe have him on the show?

I think Joe Rogan treads in dangerous waters with some of his guests and it ruins the whole thing. He should have stuck to comedians because I agree with you - those are funny and worth listening to
