He’s an asshole. Whether he believes that shit or $100 million to dish it out of his mouth makes no difference. Trying to take it back is a nothing burger. Weaseling like he did with his “excuses” is all people with a brain need to dump him. And Spotify sucks like a Hoover.
It is the sad state America is in that such shit becomes mainstream “media”. Because that’s what it is. It doesn’t matter if it is on tv, cable, or not, whatever, the audience it attracts defines it.
Rogan is as main stream as it gets, and he shovels shit down the pipe, his pipe.
