Joe Rogan - suggestions to switch my sibling to better media (lemmy.world)

My 27 yr old sibling is a hard core follower of Joe Rogan 💩

What are some progressive channels/people/content that I could have my sibling start watching instead?

Preferably something that has a similar flavor - example: male host, muscular, easy to digest. I think that will make the transition easier.

My personal preferences are Seth Meyers and John Oliver, but Last Week Tonight (John Oliver) is even a heavy watch for me sometimes!

[No Andrew Hubbard. He’s another fake.]

Thank you!

Destiny

[–] gastationsushi@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

The same Destiny that has alienated his personal relationships with everyone who's ever cared about him?

The same Destiny threw a debate with shithead Ben Shapiro because he wanted to get invited back?

At least Joe Rogan believes the shit he shovels, Destiny is a pure grifter searching for more and more fame.

Did you see the cookie rocket debate? Very entertaining stuff.

yep. those debates seem to be trapped in an endless cycle where one or both sides can't handle certain realities. they all start off vaguely informative and end up as just entertainment.
