That's fine. An uneducated guy bringing on other uneducated guys that talk about something as if they're experts. Joe is an "average dude" who loves his disinformation and nodding his head to whatever BS someone says. People like words, personalities, hand waving. That's not where truth comes from. Truth is a hard fought battle that doesn't come to you in a podcast. It comes in written words, proofs, and is filled with uncertainty. Actual experts dont give black and white answers, they provide the information and context. People don't like that because it's complicated.

I’m not sure that’s distinct from the internet commentariat here or elsewhere.

He often has leading scientists and subject matter experts on his podcasts.

>> Joe is an "average dude"…

Average dude who:

  - Created one of the largest English language podcasts.
- Is a successful comedian who writes his own material.

- Is a leading martial arts commentator and holds black belt himself.

- Made $30M last year plus made $100M from the Spotify deal.

I am not sure what is your metric that makes him average.

I hear "experts" on the news too, yet they're also the source of conspiracy nuts. Why is that? Because they have no honesty, and also run many fakers.
