When was the last time you even had a special before this? I thought he stopped doing comedy like in 2010. It's been a while. And he was a failed comedian. Like that's why he got into everything else. He wasn't very good at it.
That's the worse. I loved comedian Rogan during the 2000s-2010s. He used to make jokes about being a idiot, and accepting that. The past few years have been a nightmare. Bill Burr calling him out on his contradictions is gold. Rogan continues to spiral into hack territory.
UFC really morphed him into being a guy with awful takes, and his fandom caused his ego to grow. His podcast continues to create disingenuous arguments that riles up the fanbase. Like he'd bring up a topic, but then only invite one perspective and fully let them run wild and even agreeing with them, while dismissing the truth. Even when he gets fact checked, he shrugs and goes, "woops", as if he didn't just spend a few hours calling for hostility about something he doesn't understand.
His "I'm a idiot" shtick doesn't work anymore when he keeps control of the narrative and is intellectually dishonest.
