AUSTIN, TX \u2013 Following comments on Russia<\/a>\u2019s invasion of Ukraine, where multi-millionaire podcaster Joe Rogan<\/a> blamed Ukrainian defence for \u201ccausing World War III\u201d, the podcast phenom clarified that he was not echoing Kremlin propaganda, but is in fact truly this fucking braindead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI know it<\/a> might seem suspicious, how I consistently and unquestioningly regurgitate Russian and authoritarian talking points to my millions of listeners,\u201d explained the former host of a game show where contestants ate bull testicles for money. \u201cWhen I say things like \u2018Ukraine and Biden<\/a> are entirely to blame for antagonizing Russia\u2019 it\u2019s not because I\u2019m echoing Putin\u2019s disingenuous justifications for invading a sovereign nation, it\u2019s because I\u2019m a true cretin who doesn\u2019t know shit about shit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asked to elaborate on his pinheaded methods, Rogan continued: \u201cI\u2019m not getting my information from any nefarious conspiracy. I get my info where all truly moronic online conspiracy chuds get theirs \u2013 TikTok videos, half-read wikipedia entires, and my own truly ignorant punch-drunk brain.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rogan continued to outline ways that his recent actions were not in fact an organized effort to shift his fanbase\u2019s politics<\/a> rightward, but instead a byproduct of his staggering naivet\u00e9 and utter lack of critical thinking skills. This includes offering softball interviews to exclusively Republican candidates, consistently pushing vaccine skepticism, and listening to Jordan Peterson without once laughing in his face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNope, no sinister agenda, that\u2019s all just pure authentic simpleminded me,\u201d Rogan continued in the middle of a rambling 3 hour interview with a discredited climatologist who claims super intelligent alien chimps built the pyramids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHonestly, I wish this was all part of a brilliant long con to profit off the dumbing down of a generation of economically disadvantaged MMA fans. How impressive would that be?\u201d Rogan added. \u201cBut no, I\u2019m too stupid to even understand the sentences I just said, and it turns out America<\/a> just loves rewarding the dumbest, most aggrieved mediocre white men it can find. It\u2019s entirely possible, baby<\/a>!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 8th lead from Newsradio<\/em> elaborated on how his own doltish limitations have fuelled his improbable career. \u201cIt was really lucky that UFC and conspiracy mongering became so popular, since it distracted fans from the fact that I\u2019m far too idiotic to be a funny standup.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asked whether his famously uncritical credulity inherently benefits bad faith actors looking to use his platform to spread misinformation, Rogan answered \u201cI don\u2019t know what any of those words mean.\u201d Still, looking forward, he assured his listeners that he\u2019s far too much of an imbecile to look forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNaw, I\u2019m just gonna keep making this bullshit up as I go,\u201d Rogan insisted. \u201cIt turns out there\u2019s a bottomless market for encouraging mediocre men to hide their own intellectual insecurities and lack of curiosity behind claims that they\u2019re \u2018just asking questions\u2019. I\u2019ve been just asking questions for years and haven\u2019t found a single goddamned answer, but it didn\u2019t stop Spotify from making me rich.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rogan elaborated, \u201cAll today\u2019s men really want is a daily reassurance that they never have to change or grow \u2013 that their own reflexive ignorance is worth just as much as any expert\u2019s so-called facts. Luckily, that job description fits perfectly into the wheelhouse a truly mindless block-headed simpleton like myself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAlso, dragons were definitely real,\u201d Rogan concluded, before reading ads for 5 different brands of supplements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At press time, Joe Rogan has accepted a nomination as Secretary of the Interior for the incoming Trump<\/a> Administration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
