I'm a bit concerned about how much my husband has been watching his videos, but he's a hard man to argue with. I want to understand what it is Joe Rogan is saying, but I don't want to give the man my viewership. How/where do I get the info I can use to debate my husband?

Why do you want to debate your husband about Rogan's talking points if you yourself are having trouble arguing with them?

OP doesn't know what his arguments are yet, just that his videos are full of fallacies, and a lot of terrorists/traitors love his content

A divorce would probably be less painful than acrually watching Joe Rogan videos.

It’s impossible to say. What does he say regarding what? And what do you consider is worth debating over. It’s usually not Joe’s opinions per se but the guests.

His podcast literally covers everything you can think of. Indigenous people, hunting, technology, different diets, archeology, random chatting with comics, or otherwise interesting people (according to him).

Usually the guests are experts in some field and tell their opinions on whatever matter they have a degree in or they just talk random nonsense to make dialog that some might find interesting.

Usually the guests are experts

No they're not. Usually they're two-bit grifters spouting nonsense they obviously know nothing about, in order to sell some BS. Like how spam emails use bad grammar on purpose to select for the gullible.

Sure they are, depending on the subject of course. Someone with a phd in mathematical physics from Harvard talking about physics would be considered an expert in the subject no?

Some of the videos on this channel may give you some insights.

Like this one about how he can dish it out but can't take it.

I think you need to take a few steps back and really think about what you are asking. If your husband is a fan and regular listener to a source you are so adamant against, that even giving him a view is a concern, then do you and your husband have the same values?

I am so sorry to say this but your post is just littered with red flags. Sis, he isn't hard to argue with, the man just doesn't care what you think. If he did why isn't this a discussion and not an argument where he shuts you/your concerns down? I would say that making yourself informed about the specifics of Joe Rogan matters more than his view count going up by 1. But frankly, you probably aren't going to like anything you hear (Because Rogan is a pig who washes conspiracies/bigotry as "just debate lol"). But since your husband knows you won't approve, that is why he is brushing you off.

This sounds like a really rough position to be in. I've been there with some of my past relationships so I am sending you all the warmth and strength I can muster! Big hugs!

I'm sorry, but you are going to let someone else interpret what Rogan is saying for you, so you don't have to watch his videos?

All you are doing is copying that person's opinion about Rogan if you do that.

Watch the videos. Be an adult. Think for yourself.

What's there to be concerned about?

I don't watch/listen to Joe Rogan, but it's not like your husband is watching some Nazi propaganda.
