The guy who drove his car through a Christmas parade in Wisconsin is going to be representing himself in his homicide trial that starts on Monday. He has already been removed from a couple of pre-trial hearings for being disruptive, and he was originally going for an insanity defense. There is a very good chance that this trial is going to be very funny. I don't think that Joe Rogan is a very good interviewer. He doesn't really add much to the conversation most of the time, but his style of just letting the guest talk is still way better than the breathless fellating or fishing for gotcha moments that has become the standard.
I follow Cleetus McFarland on YT. He does a bunch of shit with things with motors, and one of them is jet boating. This video (once you get past the first half of him cleaning up shit at his shop), shows him dropping his jet boat into the water to help the Search and Rescue folks. It's crazy.
people in homes like that are the ones I'm really worried about. Just driving from tampa to sarasota -- about an hour -- there must have been thousands of RVs/trailers parked along the coast. I'm horrified at the thought of the number of people in housing like that caught in the actual impact zone. Plus you add the homeless population on top of that. Then all the political issues with trying to get FEMA in there to help the ones most in need (namely, that the governing party in Florida objectively hates the poor). This is gonna be a complete clusterfuck of epic proportions.
Yeah, my grandparents' beach house we sold last year looks like it made it via that satellite image. One of our old neighbors took a photo of the driveway and the trees and undergrowth are wrecked. Having access to a god damned paradise house location I can say the 2-3 close calls was worth it. Pretty sure they were only evacuated once. My aunt and uncle's temporary place they had bought while they build their dream house? Looks like it might be a total loss but it was a double wide trailer home senior community so not as structurally sound. Reports from their friends aren't good. I honestly never thought that show was that amazing. Certainly better than the canned interview styles of the rest of the media but not as deep or introspective as people tout. At all. Peak Howard Stern had much much better conversations. Shit even Joe Rogan has significantly better interviews with celebrities.
Personally I think it’s the most overrated thing that is currently on. I don’t think he’s a good interviewer, there’s nothing at all special about him and I cannot figure out why celebrities would go on that show and make themselves look like such a stupid, drooling asshole. On camera.
The problem I have with Rogan is that he lacks the intelligence to know when or how to push back when one of his guests says something completely bat shit. It’s fine to want to have open conversations to exchange ideas. But he’s out of his depth with a lot of topics so everything can sound reasonable to him as long as it’s said in a normal sounding way. Kind of like how Tucker Carlson can pretty much say something insanely racist but if it’s presented in a business consultant sounding way, it might not occur to people how bad it is.
That and he buys into a lot of complete BS because he has a thing for conspiracy theories. He's not a bad person, but his show does a lot of damage because of this.

He started off fucking around with small river jetboats near his house. He then heard about a jetboat racing league up in WA so did an arrive and drive with a team, and second time out won the race.
My cousin posted a quick video to FB of the storm. Not sure how to share it here anonymously so here is a screenshot. Holy shit! Good thing their house is raised.
my douchebag brother in law has been flying his drone over our house a lot. Best way to deter the drone without permanently disabling it? I've ordered a few laser pointers. I considered lobbing some BBs in it's general direction (not specifically aiming for it), as well as mooning it and just running outside naked. If I had a .22 revolver I'd get some blanks and shoot those.
without permanently disabling it. I just wanna fuck with him a bit. He's a religious bigot and everyone in the family hates him. I thought about making a poster board saying "GOD HATES YOU" and putting it on the roof.
