I don\u2019t care if he once hosted Bernie Sanders and Neil DeGrasse Tyson on his show. He consistently gives fascist wing-nuts (Alex Jones, Ben Shapiro, Jordan Peterson, Gavin McInnis, and Stephen Molyneux to name just a few) a platform on the biggest podcast in the world. I do not support, endorse, or respect Joe Rogan\u2019s flawed logic and terrible opinions. And I certainly don\u2019t respect the way he sidesteps any criticism by saying \u201cI\u2019m just a stupid comedian.\u201d [End Footnote\/Rant]<p> Mentions of NACA, Insecurity, Punching Down<p> 1:04:20 \u2013 \u201cMiddle Eastern people can\u2019t lose their temper at airports\u201d<p> 1:04:57 \u2013 \u201cI want to hire a white Sherpa\u201d<p> Mentions of the film \u2018Sherpa\u2019, Instragram<p> 1:05:58 \u2013 \u201cOne titty out on an airplane\u201d<p> Mentions of Mardi Gras, Breast Feeding<p> 1:07:24 \u2013 The Set Revue<p> Instagram: @Sohrabisbrown, Youtube Channel<p> 1:09:25 \u2013 Final Words<p> ","author_name":"Performance Revue","author_url":"http:\/\/performancerevue.libsyn.com\/website","html":"
