I don't think you'll find many of those.

I'd say you'd still find plenty, theres a large crossover with your average Rogan listener. But hopefully the blinders have come off more of them.

insulting people involved in rescue

Thats when he lost me completely. Up until that point, i thought he was a savvy investor woth an incredibly perceptive idea of the future. But then his true colours came out in that episode, he also got my nationalism up. Those guys were fucken Aussies doing good work to save those kids!

Its been a long time though, i think they were, lol!
