The Crisis of Masculinity 2 (Experiencing Joe Rogan's non-stop lies, rightwing agitprop and reactionary bullshit)

“I do remember one thing he said to me. Joe Rogan was being so fucking mean to me one day—and mostly we were all friends, but Joe could be a weirdo—and I was sort of upset about it, so I was just sitting over in the corner. And Phil came over and put his arm around me, and he said, ‘You know, I just want to tell you you’re loved.’ Isn’t that really nice? I know you expected me to tell some wacky story about Phil, but he was like that, too. He just put his arm around me and said that. He was so sweet. He was a really nice man.” - Maura Tierney speaking about Phil Hartman and Joe Rogan on her time on NewsRadio.

"Kids are extremely malleable.  They are extremely easy to manipulate.  They are extremely easy to influence." - Joe Rogan describes his business model to Aaron Rodgers. 

I don't watch Joe Rogan or listen to his Experience podcast.  Unfortunately, the Youtube algorithm, which forcibly promotes Reactionary liars, forces him into my recommendations all the time.  So, I am exposed to his bullshit on a regular basis which has in turn forced me to listen to critique of his lies from other channels.

Joe Rogan was always an asshole, but now he's a full-blown reactionary liar who uncritically regurgitates every rightwing lie which comes across his punch-drunk, encephalitic, drug-addled brain.  Rogan continues to produce these bon mottes of rightwing outrage that his young male audience listens to and absorbs on the basis of his journalistic intergrity and authority 

"So that, that's a real thing..." Joe Rogan intoned: about a big beard man getting into an argument with a black women in Chicago about using the women's bathroom as his disgusting slobby guest loudly masticated a cough drop.

World, bro. You ever see this video? There's this lady in Chicago and this guy is trying to use the women's room and she's going in there with her daughter. And this guy has a full beard, just a full beard. And she's yelling at him. She's like, you are whole, you are a whole man. And he is like, I am a woman. And they're like big deep breath. Like deep voice, big husky guy with a fucking beard. It's like, it's like, what the fuck man? Like what the fuck is this really is this, is this being kind? Is that what this is? Is this being open-minded and compassionate? Or is this opening the door to fucking psychopath? This is it. Yeah. Click this. Look at this.

Once his off-screen producer pointed out this was some "satire" sketch, Joe Rogan turned from an aggrieved angry white man to a befuddled rube, "Oh that women's a great actor!"

Cat Litter Lie:

While speaking with avowed fascist Tulsi Gabbard, Joe Rogan helped catapult the Cat Litter in elementary schools rightwing lie, by telling a 'My Friend Story', who had personally seen the cat litter for children who identified as cats and dogs.  

My friend, his wife is a school teacher. She works at a school that had to install a litter box in the girl’s room because there is a girl who is a furry who identifies as an animal, and her mother badgered the school until they agreed to put a litter box in one of the stalls. So this girl goes into the litter room, or to the girl’s room, and urinates or whatever. I don’t know if she poops in it, that’s gross...You’ve conned the school into putting this fucking litter box in a girl’s room, which is bananas. 

Oddly, that Republican lie was just before the 2022 election.  Funny how Tough guy Rogan attacks the vulnerable Trans youth community.  Even when he had to admit he made this shit up and spread a readily available Republican lie he couched his walk back in oh a wacky mother had lied to him.  He didn't lie, you see... he was lied to.

I fed into that and I should probably clarify a little bit. I have a friend, and my friend’s wife is a schoolteacher, and she told him that there was [sic] discussions in the school that a mother wanted to put a litter box in one of the bathrooms. He told me this and I talked about it on here, and then people were saying ‘That’s not true, that’s an internet rumor.’ So I contacted him again, and I said ‘Tell me exactly what she said. Contact her and find out.’ She no longer works for that school, she works for another school. She contacted the other school, she didn’t get a response.

No Food for You! This is too good not to be true, Lie:

Seemingly mocking the Australian officials by speaking in a slow, dopey voice, Rogan continued: “They were saying, ‘Whoa, you could grow your own food. And what else? The disease was from your food. It infects the population, kills us off. Oh, we can’t have that.’”

Rogan said he didn’t know what the justification was for the law but he was “pretty sure” it had to do with agricultural contamination.

“You could justify it if you were a real piece of shit, you could say most pandemics come from agriculture … fucking creeps man, these fucking creeps, they got a good grip on people during the pandemic,” he lamented.

“That’s how you motherfucking smoke out an anti-vaxxer, you can’t even go to the grocery store any more and you can’t grow your own food.”

His producer, Jamie Vernon, then Googled the topic, which threw a spanner in the works of Rogan’s rant. “Nothing’s coming up,” he said. “The closest I can find is New Zealand.”

“Hold on,” Rogan replied, whipping out his own phone, to no avail. “It’s got to be a real thing … it seems too good to not be … damn it, it better not be fake.

Revolutionary Airports Lie: 

“Did you hear what he said yesterday, or a couple days ago?” Rogan asked his guest, MMA fighter Bo Nickal, in an exchange first flagged by Mediaite. “He’s talking about the Revolutionary War. He’s like, ‘One of the reasons why we lost the Revolutionary War ... was that they didn’t have enough airports. If you were you at any other job, and you were talking like that, they’d go, ‘Hey, you’re done,’” Rogan added.

When it was pointed out to Rogan, Jello-brained syphilitic Trump had made these comments, oh well never mind.  

“Oh, OK,” Rogan said. “So Trump fucked up.”  “You can tell he, like, messed up his words,” Nickal said. “But that’s the thing about media these days, it’s like, you gotta look into it.” 

And... ya just can't trust that MEDIA!

Non-Stop Covid Lies: 

In 2022, BBC fact-checked Rogan's COVID, Vaccine, Ivermectin, Hydroxochloriquine lies.  But, Rogan has lied for going on 3 years about Covid and Vaccines and it's really not worth going through each and every episode in which Rogan lies.  Even when guests point out Joe Rogan was wrong about his wild rightwing lies about "myocarditis" he simply goes back to it and continues to lie.  In fact, in January Rogan brought a Canadian semi-comedian Tony Hinchcliffe on to claim Canada's life expectancy has gone down due to the "forced" vaccinations by Justin Trudeau.

Rogan and Rodgers had a horrible falsehood-filled conversation ranging over Trans persons, Vaccines, and Banana Republics.  Additionally, Rodgers lied again about his attempted smear-job of Jimmy Kimmel and it also led to Rogan claiming Rodgers had been proved right about his Anti-Vaxx nonsense.  Rogan also claimed a Fucking New York Times opinion piece proved Jordan Peterson was right about Trans people.  And this all made me realize where we are these days.  Rogan & Rodgers are Reactionaries who are simply going to proclaim themselves right and dare anyone to question them.  That's really how Fascist have always operated, declare themselves in charge and eliminate anyone who challenges them.

Rogan has lied so often, and with such shameless abandon it would be nice, if people slotted Joe Rogan into the same category once occupied by Racist Limpballs because he's advancing the same tired ideology of rightwing oppression, bigotry, and slavery.  But, like always, the youth must learn the lessons the past generations learned all over again.  I'm actually sure Rogan would love to call himself a "harmless little fuzzball" and not a well-paid member of the Media, with the number #1 podcast on Spotify 3 years running.

There has been much made about the crisis facing young men in America, as women increasingly take over college, jobs which require brute muscle fade, and the trades no long provide the long-term stability and income needed to raise a family to make the American dream.

As young men flounder, Republicans have increasingly placed the blame on Wokeism (which they can not define) and culture.  Rogan presents himself as a bad ass, martial artist, comedian, and a bon vivant of edgy things like kettlebells and ketamine.  But, Rogan lies so often and so willfully the young men who listen to him are getting purposefully misinformed and it's showing.  Rogan isn't alone in advancing Edge Lord Fascism but, as the #1 Spotify Show 4 years running he's clearly punching above his weight.

I hope Jordan Love doesn’t turn into Brett Favre or Aaron Rodgers

Scum                             Not Scum                  Scum
Well, the Chicago Bears season came to an end as it so often has with a defeat at the hands of the Green Bay Packers.  During the game Tony Romo said he saw some of Brett Favre's gunslinger attributes in Jordan Love's arm angles and throwing motion.

Since 1992, the Packers have enjoyed an unprecedented run at Quarterback;  Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers.  Fortunately, these two all-time "greats" only managed to bring two Super Bowl Titles (and one loss) to Title Town.

And now Jordan Love appears to be continuing the tradition.  While the rules absolutely favor passing Love put together a strong season and got the Packers back into the Playoffs.  Now perhaps Love will sabotage his career by making a pass at his teammate Jonathan Owens wife, someone named Simone Biles, but I highly doubt it as Love seems like a good dude.  Damnit...

But, the past two Green Bay QBs have either turned into unredeemable scumbags or always were.  It's amazing the inferiority complex Aaron Rodgers has that he is still trying to outdo Favre in scumbag behavior.  But, barring some Hail Mary it's not likely as Favre's run of behavior has veered into theft and criminality. 

As the Mississippi scandal of Republicans stealing TANF money and funneling it to their wealthy friends and allies broke and Favre's deep involvement came to light, Shannon Sharpe took to his ESPN Show Undisputed to correctly call Favre "a sorry mojo who stole money from the lowest of the low" "people who really needed that money",  Trump loving Bret Favre decided to sue him and two others (Pat McAfee and Mississippi State Auditor Shad White) for defamation.

Of course, the facts of the situation are Republicans in Mississippi did steal $77,000,000 in federal money set aside for TANF and, however Favre found out about the scam, he specifically asked to have several million dollars of that money set aside for him to build a volleyball stadium at his daughter's school while Favre would claim he donated that money through his charity.  Favre has paid back over a million dollars to the state.  As Republicans often say "facts are stupid things".  Fortunately, the Judge in his case threw out Favre defamation suit but, it shows how rightwingers have really taken to using courts to win when the facts are against them.  Too bad for Favre he couldn't go Judge Shopping for a Packers Fan who would have declared him the Winner.

Fascinatingly, the Reason article on this garnered so little commentary from the lying rightwingers who infest that platform (only 7 comments and half of them are off topic).

Pat McAfee is now entangled in another Packers QB scandal.  McAfee often has Rodgers on his show to talk to him and former Green Bay Packers LB A.J. Hawk.  Last week, as the trio inexplicably talked about the Epstein List release Rodgers, with his extensive wine room in the background stated, “A lot of people, including Jimmy Kimmel, are really hoping that doesn’t come out.” Rodgers also said he would be “popping some sort of bottle,” if Kimmel was on the list.

Rodgers has been angry at Kimmel for several years because during Covid Rodgers repeatedly lied, especially by omission and inference, when asked about his vaccination status by saying he was "immunized".  Rodgers is a "tin-foil hat nutter" who like all Republicans has no compunctions about putting other people at risk because he is a special little snowflake who doesn't care about others.

Kimmel pointed out that Rodgers' slander put his family and children at risk as MAGA Chuds sent death threats as if that matters to conservatives who have fallen in love with threatening to murder their political enemies and emulate Traitor Trump's manner of hateful, vile, treasonous, fascist speech, that is when Trump isn't making fun of disabled people or stumbling through a speech not knowing what he's saying.

But, Kimmel the comedian really skewered Rodgers by making fun of the end of his career.  Aaron hamstrung the Jets this season and probably for a decade to come by forcing them to cater to his delusional trade, contract, and player signing demands.  But, yesterday with big Don't Report that I Got Mad energy on McAfee's show, Rodgers claimed, he "doesn't give a shit what Kimmel says about me" and he "isn't stupid enough to accuse [Kimmel] with absolutely zero concrete evidence."

That's some big ass covering for Rodgers, McAfee, and ESPN.  But, Rodgers still feels free to air his lunatic conspiracy theories about Fauci, vaccines, and #QAnon nonsense.

So, while Rodgers career included unprecedented success of "still owning the Bears", he and Favre are being forced to own up to being their scummy selves.

Wisconsin's Choice: Penzey's or Packers (with special guest appearance by Jimmy Garoppolo)

My Spices!
My Governor!



 

On Martin Luther King Jr Day, CEO Bill Penzey Jr released a completely accurate statement about Republicans, their efforts to disenfranchise black voters, general racism and their fervent murderous desire to shoot black people,
Remember how Republicans, going against a mountain of evidence to the contrary, once again lied and said BLM wasn’t a peaceful movement but instead terrorists inciting violence throughout the country and then raced out to buy a crapload of guns because maybe they were finally going to get their chance to shoot a Black person? What a bunch of racists.  
If you’re a part of a party that does everything it can to make it harder for Black people to vote, gerrymanders the value of minority votes down into a small fraction of the value of white votes in state houses and in the US House of Representatives, and are willing to vote for candidates of the party that nominated a man for president who explained why he was launching his campaign by saying: “Mexicans are rapists and murderers,” the Racist label is one you will deservingly wear every day you stand with them. Get used to it, or maybe instead, become a better person. 

Conservatives were furious.  Because "a hit dog hollers".  I hate that statement because don't ever hit your dog.  And yes I understand it's not actually about abusing your dog.  Of course, Republican Senator Mitch McConnell proved Bill Penzey's statement 100% correct when he stated Black people aren't Americans.  So, constantly call conservatives and Republicans what they are; Assholes, Bigots, Fascists, and Losers and watch them get angry.

And the king of the asshole losers today is anti-vaxx asshole Aaron Rodgers, a vile cheater and liar, who decided to dip his supposed broken toe into the waters of the Big Lie of 2020 and stated a few days ago,

“When the president of the United States says, ‘This is a pandemic of the unvaccinated,’ it’s because him and his constituents, which, I don’t know how there are any if you watch any of his attempts at public speaking, but I guess he got 81 million votes,” Rodgers said Thursday. “But when you say stuff like that, and then you have the CDC, which, how do you even trust them, but then they come out and talk about 75% of the COVID deaths have at least four comorbidities. And you still have this fake White House set saying that this is the pandemic of the unvaccinated, that’s not helping the conversation.”

I would like to point out it's despicable of Rodgers to make fun of President Biden for his well documented stammer, but to do so with a Sarah Palin word salad concoction which is hardly legible itself is classic rightwing projection.  

But, fortunately Arlington Heights second favorite son Jimmy Garoppolo, former Bears kicker Robbie Gould, and the San Francisco 49ers ended Green Bay's season and possibly Aaron Rodgers football career with a gutsy 13-10 victory on the erstwhile frozen tundra of Lambeau Field.  And as befits an asshole like Rodgers, Twitter took delight in Aaron's latest choke-job against the 49ers.

Aaron will have plenty of time to do his own research about vaccines and the 2020 election, now.  Hopefully, Shaline Woodley (a suspect practitioner of California Woo Woo Science like Aaron) will break off their engagement and dump his ass.
