    I’d probably just nod, too until the crazy old man went away.

      I know it’s dangerous, but it’s important to at least tell them people ignoring them aren’t silently agreeing with their bullshit. So, if you think you can manage the risk, you should tell them.

      I’d probably just not have a crazy old man as a guest, but hey ¯\(ツ)

      Was gonna say he wouldn’t have to nod along if he didn’t talk to the crazies, but then I remembered it’s precisely what he’s getting paid such absurd amounts to do.

      Yeah, while I don’t doubt Rogan would swallow it hook, line and sinker; just nodding along is what most people would do with someone that’s a guest but batshit crazy.

        I’d also say that JRE is entertaining, not education. I don’t listen to it myself, never have and probably never will, but I can see why people do.

        I listen to a true crime pod which incorporates actual audio from police/court hearings and it can be great fun to listen to someone absolutely unhinged try to explain why they’re innocent.
