I get the sense that your concerns aren't who your husband watches but what your husband's opinions are.

Instead of debating over what Rogan says, maybe just have a conversation with your husband about your concerns. Express your thoughts on issues important to you and see how that goes. Maybe your husband just likes the drama and doesn't put much weight into Rogan's hot takes.

Sorta the problem with the joe Rogan podcast is that Joe doesn't have an agenda, but every guest he has on does. Some folks think that platforming scumbags and allowing them to say awful things isn't cool, and therefore refuse to go on the show, which means fewer same people and more insane. This then repeats until only insane guests are in the show.

Behind the Bastards and Some More News have covered him albeit tangentially. Knowledge Fight has covered when Alex Jones has been on Rogan and it really illustrates how dangerously unprepared he is to deal with people like Alex

I don't know your relationship but you might want to reflect on your desire to debate your husband. This seems like a recipe for disaster. If you're concerned he might be sliding into a bad rabbit hole maybe you could try exposing him to some contrary view points, that way he doesn't feel like his loved one is attacking his beliefs.

Use https://piped.video to watch his content. It is a privacy respecting alternative front end for YouTube that will strip out ads and such so you don’t give your support to the content creator if you don’t want to. I use it to keep up with Trump stuff without fully supporting those who choose to host him.

Consider joining a Joe Rogan community or similar. As a lurker, you can learn a lot about whats going on just by listening to how other people react.

One good way to get an understanding is to watch the summary of Joe Rogan that Johnny Harris, a YouTube journalist did.

While it won't give you a summary of each episode that Joe Rogan does it will give you an unbiased look at what Joe Rogan's program is all about

As a man who works with a bunch of guys that listen to him, nothing worth listening to.

That being said, I'm not married to the guys and work and your going to have way more to deal with in his viewership than I do.

You can also read into some of the very easily disprovable professional morons that appear on show. Jordan Peterson is a great example because he's obviously wrong in a very well researched area.

Thankyou for those that gave constructive answers and didn't assume anything about my relationship

I'd just find the comedy special from many years ago where he told his audience that "I'm not an expert in anything except smoking weed. I'm a moron. I don't know anything. Nobody should listen to me or take me seriously."

That bit on stage is the first thing I ever think of whenever his name is mentioned these days, since he didn't even take his own God damn advice.

You can ask him to explain the episodes to you. It might help him reflect on the information and give you something to talk about.

If he's difficult to "debate" it might be that the format of your conversations are to blame. Sometimes arguing, especially by throwing "facts" and trying to prove someone that their views are wrong, just creates tension and pushback causing the opposite effect. There's something called Street Epistemology that can help open the door to actual conversations and reflection, instead of antagonistic debating.

If that fails, there's also the option for couples therapy if you feel like you're not communicating.

Watch it with him and discuss the video afterwards. No matter how many people sit in front of a screen, it counts as one view.

Johnny Harris has a good video: https://youtu.be/sLaXSvpfDZs?si=ckqeiEdfaknWnBeu

But if you want to debate your husband on what he sees, you're going to need to get a good idea of the guest. The problem with Joe Rogan is that Rogan does very little pushback as an interviewer.

There was one interview that I watched with Mel Gibson touting a stem cell cure-all treatment being given out in Panama and making claims about it helping to cure anything. That treatment was beginning to undergo Phase 2 FDA trials, which basically meant they were studying to see if it would kill people, not what benefits the drug had.

If you are going to debate, ask for a non-Rogan source to back him up. It will at least get your husband to start fact checking. And if your husband asks why you need a second source, you can tell him that Rogan describes himself as an idiot.

JR lost touch with reality a few years ago. Hosts nonsense guests on his show who spread BS. To debate him, you simply require a brain and any simple reasoning skills.

Video transcripts? Not sure debating your husband is a good idea.

You can just watch a little bit of him, it wont hurt you that much to give him viewership and will help you understand what your husband is watching better. You can also find some video clips or compilations on YouTube.

He's big enough that a lot of people tend to make videos explaining what he is wrong about and how. Searching YT for "Joe Rogan is wrong" or similar and picking some large looking channels from the list tends to give useful results.

Hey, pure coincidence , Johnny Harris from youtube recently put out an informative video on Joe a month ago:
https://youtu.be/sLaXSvpfDZs?si=CPwiMtAEdhaWA3Jj

His video is nuanced and informative, but I cannot say it is unbiased and it leaves with a very centrist conclusion, but this might be the best for someone unfamiliar with Joe.

If I may add my own take on him, his show should be considered purely entertainment, and any semblance to actual discourse or debate is purely coincidental and done for entertainment. At best, it should encourage people to start forming their own ideas and opinions (without actually providing reliable resources where to start proper, sadly), and at worst it validates the unfounded opinions and hypotheses of those who believe their internet look-up and echo chamber chatter is equally reputable as peer-reviewed, documented, proper research.

And lastly to alleviate any concerns you have, people who watch Joe simply yearn to be more knowledgeable, even if his show isnt a good chanel for it. Your partner may be able to understand your concerns with a good discussion and communication, so I wish you the best in talking to them and a prosperous outcome. Cheers!

Just watch Tim Heidecker's parody episode from his show Office Hours, it's quite accurate.

Don’t kid yourself, you “giving” him a few views isn’t gonna make any difference, taking a principled stance on it is like peeing in the ocean.

Just watch a few of his videos or listen to some of his podcasts, instead of letting other people give your their viewpoint on him just get your own viewpoint, do it without any bias either.. pick an episode that you are interested in pick something you don’t agree with and pick something that could go either way. You might agree with some stuff and not other things but at least you determined that for yourself

I used to listen to his podcast but lost interest plus I’d only listen to the stuff I had any interest in, science and technology stuff. He had some odd views/stuff I didn’t agree with but that’s living in reality you aren’t always gonna agree with people.

Johnny Harris did a pretty good video on him recently
