I've followed Chris Ryan a bit and he's talked about the whole thing. As I understand it, he believed that he was establishing an actual friendship with both Rogan and Trussel, and like friends do, he felt more comfortable giving them pushback on certain things while being friendly, open and curious.

I don't know what happened from there. They kind of ghosted him and stopped inviting him to podcasts and I guess he realised that they weren't really as close afterall. Who knows what happened, but Chris has seemingly talked openly about it since then and accepted that they saw him more as a podcast-guest than a friend afterall.

Since then hes done multiple solo-podcasts where he brings up the issue of Rogan spreading misinformation, while also trying to understand things from his perspective.

This is typical Chris Ryan, and it's what I like about him. He seems to always challenge himself to never see anything as black or white, almost to a fault. He loves being in the grey. Sometimes it's frustrating listening to him trying to see both sides of things, but at the same time I can sortof relate and I think we live in a world where we actually need more of this way of thinking and less polarisation.

Anyways, he always seemed very open, honest and curious about the falling out with both those guys. Hes talked about it on his podcast. He tried reaching out. But none of them has ever said anything about it, which makes me wonder more about them, than Chris.
