Speaker 1: Let's go next to Dave from is it heralds Burg.
I can't quite see.
Speaker 5: It's Healdsburg, sir, thank you so much.
I'm honored to speak to a frickin predator.
Speaker 1: He'll yes, thank you.
He'll hold on.
I have that drop.
That is a frickin predator.
Speaker 5: What is Healdsburg?
Healdsburg is in Sonoma County, just north of San Francisco.
Oh hi, Miles.
Beautiful area.
Yeah, I'm currently standing in a vineyard, it's a wonderful life.
Speaker 1: I got to get back.
I've been to a bunch of the vineyards there and it is just great.
There's this I believe in where I believe in downtown Napa.
There's like a high end food court called the Oh man, I don't even remember.
It's just it's just a great area.
Speaker 5: I very much enjoyed myself besides the chair my whole life, so well, what's on
your mind for a living?
I'm going to talk about Joe Rogan as well.
No offense, no context.
I started with Joe Rogan in episode thirty six in June of 2010.
I never missed an episode until October 2020, when I couldn't take it anymore.
The comedy of idiocy and the things that he was saying about politics in general fashion
on Biden seemingly ignoring all the problems with Trump, I'm more or less gave it up, but
I've gone back to listening.
When the pandemic is out and I think people are missing some significant things here,
the audience of Joe Rogan, they don't care about fact checkers, they don't care what
the mainstream media says.
And the more they attack him, the more they're going to run to him.
Yes, if he has any chance at cost, of course.
Correction, somebody needs to go on the Rogan podcast and talk him out of the bad ideas
that he has hung on to.
And I don't know who that person is.
Do you have any ideas?
Speaker 1: No, I don't.
I mean, I don't know that there's any one person who can talk them out of everything.
I think it's, you know, with Rogan, it's a lot of he'll he'll listen to anybody he has
on.
The challenge is getting the right people on, and I'd be glad to be on any time with
him.
I'm not an expert in a lot of the areas in which he's allowed incorrect information to
fester.
I'm aware of the fact that the information is wrong, but I'm not an expert in that, but
I don't think there is any one person.
I think it would take sort of like a concerted effort of bringing on different types of guests
for an extended period of time, quite frankly.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I think what you could do is point out to him that he's far
too inclined to accept the person's supposed qualifications.
I mean, even in his apology.
When it came on the first time, you didn't see immediately through the qualifications
of Nicola and Malone as well.
That alone makes something that they say is true.
Yes.
Which is just absolutely wrong.
And then, of course, when it came to the apology for the N-word video, a previous caller just
got it wrong.
I don't think Spotify took those down.
I think Rogan took them down.
I think he got tired of having those out there out of thousands of episodes.
What's it matter if there's 110?
It only benefited him as well because now people think he's under attack and people
are taking as his episodes.
Yeah, I mean, Speaker 1: the think the statement was that
Spotify has taken them down.
What you're suggesting is that what's been reported isn't true, which is possible, but
I think it's meant we should be clear that this is just your opinion.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and that's based on what he said in his in his apology video for that.
I just think it's it's far more likely that he did want it out there anymore because he
saw himself in the video and like you said, it made him sector to his stomach just to
see himself saying those things.
So, yeah, no harm in taking them down.
When there's thousands of episodes, it's not like anybody was going to listen.
I mean, that's the thing with Michael Malone's episodes to put fact checks on them.
Take him down.
Censor em, it doesn't matter that information's already out there.
Yep, at this point, the Rogan mantra of the only things to do with that speech is to combat
it with good speech is the only strategy that worked going forward.
I agree somebody has to go on and talk to him.
Typekit those ideas.
David, I'm a huge fan, have been for a long time member and it's been an absolute pleasure.
Thank you.
All right.
Speaker 1: Thanks, Dave.
Appreciate.
Appreciate your your support.
And as a member, Dave gets access to the much derided bonus show.
Speaker 3: Oh, the bonus show where you want to make money and everybody else that makes
money to fund themselves is bad.
