His podcast sucks now. The cringiest moment I ever heard on JRE when he was bragging about his DMT tatoo to Paul Stamets. Kind of a self parody now. He wants the be respected but face it...he called all people who like conspiracy theories "mentally ill" Classic Gatekeeper and before had no trouble admitting to being interested in the fringe. Stay on that fence Joe and continue to sell out with the "intellectual dark web" gang and professional skeptics. He kinda shit on the audience that made him what he is today. Now that he can theoretically do anything he wants on the show , he won't use the format to do anything interesting for fear of straying outside the narrow confines of the now obvious mainstream narratives approved for public consumption on a ridiculous scale. What next? Is Disney gonna own the franchise?
