so instead i should just listen to the latest jre w/ a woman who is only considered a comedian by association cuz shes seguras wife
I listened to 3 Lex podcasts and I couldn't stand it. He's a terrible interviewer and he reminded me of Between two Ferns, only on accident. I remember thinking "Maybe he'll be better in a couple years".
MeatEater is my go-to podcast when nothing good is on JRE. I mainly like that it's the only podcast that intentionally steers away from politics. Anything with Yannis the Latvian Eagle telling stories is awesome.
Also the "Mapscaping" podcast, but not exactly broad appeal.
Out of curiosity, why do you find Lex to be a terrible interviewer?I listened to 3 Lex podcasts and I couldn't stand it. He's a terrible interviewer and he reminded me of Between two Ferns, only on accident. I remember thinking "Maybe he'll be better in a couple years".

a lefty would be rogan, aside from 2a and trannys beating up women he's left, just not far leftGlenn loury, Russ Roberts, Jocko Willink, Michael malice, Tim Pool with the occasional Lex, Ben Shapiro, crowder, Rogan and Dave rubin used to my go-to for politics, economics and society. But I don't have time for all that these days, but I try to get 1 of each in here and there.
I wish I could find a lefty that's not an insufferable twat, Jimmy Dore is the closest, but he's pretty insufferable.

He doesnt have a good intuition for asking questions that could to new interesting discussions.
All his interviews sound like he's reading 90% of his questions off index cards
"Breaking Points" is pretty good for a reasonable left perspective, but I deleted it when Sager was congratulating Biden on his Afghanistan pullout successesGlenn loury, Russ Roberts, Jocko Willink, Michael malice, Tim Pool with the occasional Lex, Ben Shapiro, crowder, Rogan and Dave rubin used to my go-to for politics, economics and society.

We saved $45b a year getting out of Afganistan, then we send $40b to Ukraine. I think our politicians hate Americans.
I am enjoying Lex Friedman a lot more than JRE these days. His guests almost always deliver some incredible content. They go deep and it is always smart & interesting topics. Here are two from just in the past week that were awesome.
I would say he gives credit fairly frequently. Also consider how many hours of conversations he is having with different people every week. A lot of who said what I am sure blends together.I've noticed something interesting over the past few days catching up on some select (non-comedian non-mma) Rogan podcasts.
Rogan outright plagiarizes ideas from his guests. I listened to one, don't remember which, then listened to the Gad Saad one, and heard Rogan spout an idea as if it were his own, when I just heard his previous guest say it TO Rogan. Then, I listened to the Hotep Jesus one, and he outright claims Gad Saad's words/ideas as his own when he's talking about how he's "an ideas guy, not a right/left repub/dem guy." No credit given to either previous person for their ideas and/or words.
I wonder how long he's done this, and why nobody has noticed and called him out for it (to my limited knowledge).
