even though its true (that his base are a bunch of morons), its disingenuous and makes him look like a bigger clown. Why bring up his fear factor days as if that has anything to do with where he is now? he had a responsibility to nip this the moment it started but he only cares now that it might affect his money.

He's been calling himself a dumbass on his podcast for many years now. I believe he has said many times in the past, he's a guy having conversations, but he should not be taken as a source of what to do or how to live.

Maybe somebody should make a super-cut of all the times he's called himself a dumbass, because I think people who don't listen to him get some idea that he claims more authority than he does.

He has opinions, but I don't think he has ever argued anybody else needs to listen to his opinions.

I do think he tends to respect his guests opinions, so it is a different discussion if we are talking about the authority some of his guests have claimed, and if that was appropriate. But I don't think Joe himself claims any authority on anything, except MMA, and maybe elk meat.
