Nah they are wrong, Joe isn't a dumb guy, he's not doing what he's doing because he's some dumb meathead, he's doing it for money, fame, and to finally be part of the in-groups, which means power, he finally has a president(Trump) that accepts him and hob knobs with him.

Joe has always been a cynical self serving libertarian type, if you went back and listened or watched some of his old standup comedy you would get a better idea of how far Rogan has fallen, he's become a lot of what he hated. There was a time when people used to think that Joe would be the next George Carlin, now he's just a more palatable and successful Alex Jones.

I've watched Joe's old comedy and shows he's been on (Opie and Anthony) and don't remember anyone thinking he would be the next Carlin. Lewis Black and Jon Stewart I could see.

Louis CK is the most Carlin like imo. His bits on O&A were pure genius. Rogan's comedy is garbage tier.
