    the only people that i know who like joe rogan also love jordan peterson, and i think there has to be a correlation

        that makes a lot of sense. I've never listened to rogan's show but around 2015 my friend (who listens to rogan now but probably listened to him back then) got into peterson and called him a "revolutionary", and told me how people were imprisoned in canada if they used the wrong pronouns. he even showed me those videos of peterson at a protest or whatever calling a person by the wrong pronouns. he also got into shapiro around then and would try to make me watch his videos, and we argued about milo too. also got really into h3 or whatever. a couple years ago I called shapiro shit and he was like "i don't really watch him anymore", but then when I showed him that video of peterson talking apple cider giving him anxiety he got pissed at me and said he was talking metaphorically.

        one time he said he was really mad that the washington r*dskins changed their name to the washington nationals, and our other friend said "those are two different teams for two different sports" lmao.

        idk it really makes me sad because he was/still sort of is my best friend, and he's self-conscious enough that he's talked to me about how he feels like his right-wing views have pushed some of our friends away. he knows where i stand and i guess I'm just hoping that trump not being president might change his views

      I've got a younger coworker that loves Rogan, mostly because he's just a clearing house for people my coworker's never heard from before.

      He's got the same kind of appeal as Jerry Springer. One part culture shock, one part freak show.

        i mean i would probably judge people who like jerry springer too lol. but i know there's lot of people who like rogan but aren't into peterson or just like listening to the people rogan has on his show. it's just something i've noticed with the all the people i know who listen to rogan
