i've said it before but one of the things that bothers me about rogan is that he seems to have few convictions of his own. sure, he'll have bernie on and agree with most of what he says, but he'll also have gary johnson on and totally agree with his "the state is so terrible and amoral m i rite?" bullshit. people have told me before that he intentionally does this ("he wants to make his guests feel comfortable!") but this doesn't result in him being an appealing podcast host to me. it just makes him come across so... slimy and disingenuous. plus there's been other episodes where he DID totally trash his guests (an infamous example is the steven crowder episode where rogan obliterated crowder's anti-drugs stance), so i'm not sure if it really is such a deliberate approach. seems more likely to me that he's too much of an intellectual lightweight to have a proper debate with his guests, so it's a lot easier for him to sit back and do his "oh wow. interesting. i didn't know that" thing.

also, it's obviously bullshit that he refused to have most of the dem candidates on the show (he just had tulsi, yang and bernie, i think?), considering all the garbage guests he DID have on.
