I all for the Rogan-bashing, but had he not since admitted he’s seen enough evidence to realize that the moon landing was real?
However, knowing full well that he, although he considers himself a “sceptic” (in the modern sense of the word, where no actual scepticism is involved), was taken in by a conspiracy theory made up of whole cloth, it doesn’t make him the least bit less likely to fooled by other conspiracy theories – probably because they, mistakenly, makes him feel smart.
I watched a couple of episodes years ago. One with Wim Hof, and one with a guy talking about Terrence Mckenna. They were interesting enough, but I never got hooked. It sounds like the show has gone downhill from there.
He really fell into the alt-right “manosphere” crowd after Covid restrictions started rolling out I think. Those really put a damper on his two business and personal interests outside of his podcast: stand up comedy, and MMA. It was so much he moved his studio from LA to somewhere in Texas where they obviously didn’t give a shit about Covid.
Well what do you know? Those are also the only episodes I ever went through. Maybe also one about Bitcoin… was Andreas Antonopoulos ever a guest? But don’t answer that, it’s not important, what’s important is that this toxic meathead detoured into q-anon territory, then went off like an excrement bomb on the internet, not unlike infowars a few years earlier, and I have no interest in either, may they rot far away from my mind.
Toxic meathead does not belong anywhere near a microphone. Yet here we are.

He jumped the shark well before, but with COVID and the aftermath he straight up used the sharks for waterskis.
