Canada

Came here looking for this ^^^^^^

It may not be surprising, but when I read the headline I thought exactly the same :-)

For me, he has, just stop listening.

I used to work with someone who loved his podcast. She tried to explain the appeal: "He can go from making dick and fart jokes to discussing astrophysics." This person did not know I had degrees in astrophysics. All I could say was, if his dick and fart jokes are as bad as his astrophysics, then he's got absolutely nothing.

Smart and hot, what's not to like?

But yeah, "what dumb people think smart people sound like" seems to be a real theme with conservative influences and politicians.

Same with how conservatives think posturing, bluster, strong-arm tactics, unwillingness to compromise etc. are a sign of strength – "how weak people think strong people act".

Maybe someone should tell him that chowing down on sewing pins will gains max his testosterone.

I'm amazed by the amount of bullshit intellectual shortcuts they can fit in 30 seconds clips.

Out of curiosity, have you switched to another streaming service? I've been trying some others, but I have to say... Spotify works well. Basic functionality seems to be a struggle for some others. Example - Deezer has no memory/awareness of what I was playing on my computer if I switch to my phone

Maybe she expected the interview to happen and had an article planned about it, and then decided to just write it anyway when it didn't

Yeah, I was trying to figure out the argument. She brings up podcasts being treated as journalism by millions when it’s not (a good point), but PP in fact did not take the interview, and her complaint ends up being:

But whatever the reason for not doing the interview, I think it was a good thing that he didn't do it. If only because selfishly having to sit through that Jordan Peterson interview with Pierre Polyev really tested my sanity. And I think one with Rogan might genuinely break it.

Meanwhile, Joe Rogan and whoever he’s with (IDK I don’t watch this podcast) don’t say much of anything? Just comparisons to Kamala and kinda dumb complaints. I don’t get why people would watch that, but I don’t see how they dove in to Canadian politics at all.

Then it’s talk of right-wing ostensibly pro Canada Twitter accounts being Trump shills. Well, duh, they’re farming the algorithm. Twitter will bury them (and their influencer income) if they bash Trump.

Then the referendum thing, which i don’t know enough about to comment on… but seems topical I guess.
