That's also why Joe Rogans stupid conspiracy theories and political bias can be dangerous, sometimes. Stupid people will believe every word like he knows what he's talking about.

I don't hate him or think he's evil, either, fwiw. He's just a dumb out of touch rich guy with too many gullible fans.

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
