I thought even years ago that - when you make a show like Rogan, so frequent and personal invested - you NEED an accompanying talking therapy, regularly. Otherwise even the most grounded character begins to drift, sooner or later. It’s a shame. But, I guess, that’s still kinda taboo, sadly.
When he started he used to be good at fact-checking wild claims even while entertaining them/humoring his guests. He’s definitely gotten more loose with it over the years in the pursuit of getting ever more exciting guests on his show. It’s nothing more than basic entertainment now that asks a lot of the audience to do their own checking lest they risk being sucked into rogans crazy world of super wealth from merely running a podcast.
