The only motherfucker we needed to hear back then was Space Ghost. And he had his own dual-celled cohost.

In Ireland you just go to the pub and you'll be sure to find some asshole ready and willing to talk shite to ye the whole night. People seem to think the Net invented this kind of wankers...
The net elevated them from being a drunk wanker at the pub, into a multimillionaire celebrities with cult following, dictating the future of the world.

I miss those days.
I was a loser smoking pot in a room with black light posters when I was young (17/18ish) but I never believed in conspiracy theories. And Rogan is a fucking idiot.
Joe Rogan's gimmick started out as a knucklehead layman who would just have casual water cooler discussions about things they didnt understand, and he was upfront about how he was an idiot who didnt know anything.
the problem was that other knuckle dragging idiots started thinking that because they agreed with him because of confirmation bias, that he was right and eventually he noticed he had a huge following of people, and started to think that his own dumb opinions must be correct
I still struggle to understand how someone like that could even get traction because every time I've ever looked at a joe rogan podcast he's usually just sitting there agreeing and brownnosing whoever his guest is. "Thats crazy, thats really interesting huh I didnt know that".... 90% of the time
The other 10% of the time he's screaming into the microphone saying shit like "Fuck you Ukraine, you're going to cause WW3 for defending yourself from an invasion"
Joe Rogan is one of the biggest knuckledraggers our society has ever produced.
The fact that he has millions of listeners is a testament to our declining society.
The guy makes apes look like particle physicists.
Everyone thinks their lunkhead is the Worst Lunkhead in History.
But I watched my parents' generation proudly proclaim themselves to be "Rush Babies / Ditto-Heads" (terms the host eagerly appended to his annoying fan base) and paid out the nose to listen to Howard Stern on Satellite Radio. Before that, we had coast to coast shameless shill Wolfman Jack and the perennially getting-fired Don Imus.
They all had the same schtick. They all mainlined fad diets and new age spirituality and quasi-legal drug abuse. They desperately wanted to be sports broadcasters, but failed to fully break in because of their inevitable fit of racism or sexism. Its the same bullshit decade after decade, complete with faux-libertarian toxic masculinity and hawking magic beans in a six hour long sales pitch.
Before radio we had thousands of independent Carnies. After radio we've consolidated and monopolized the job of Carny under the job title of DJ or Talk Radio Host or Podcaster, take your pick. But they grow these assholes in a vat under the Pentagon. They aren't unique.
Lol there's a conspiracy theory I want to see pick up. Joe Rogan is a synth grown under the Pentagon, meant to divide the people

I miss when conspiracy theories were somewhat fun and mostly harmless. Black helicopters, CIA mind control, hidden aliens…usually the forte of those afflicted with questionable mental health.
Now? Conspiracies are nurtured and pushed with paid troll farms and wingnuts high on winning at literally any cost. Deliberately designed to harm and damage. Overwhelming the ability of reason and rebuttal to make a solid defense. Worse are those who so easily believe bullshit over decades or a century of objective proof of any kind.

Well, you know, that pot-smoking, black-light-loving loser is actually Joe Rogan. He's just gotten a little older and expanded his audience. He's a winner now in terms of money, but he never really matured.
Coast to Coast AM was fun to listen to before the 2010s
