Rogan asks him how many women he did this to and Diaz says a dozen or something, and Rogan starts hyena laughing like it&amp;#x27;s the funniest thing he&amp;#x27;s ever heard.&lt;p&gt;Rogan gets some great guests on, but don&amp;#x27;t be fooled by his &amp;quot;aw schucks I&amp;#x27;m just a bro asking questions&amp;quot; act. He knows exactly what he&amp;#x27;s doing and he&amp;#x27;s a lot more predatory than his on camera character.&lt;p&gt;Something to consider before you associate your brand with him. Probably better to find an up and rising podcast.&lt;p&gt;Edit: freetime2 dug up the clip below and it&amp;#x27;s even worse than I recalled.</text></item></parent_chain><comment><author>assttoasstmgr</author><text>Have you considered that your average soft SV male feminist-type isn&amp;#x27;t the target audience for a couple of east coast comedians - who are by and large complete degenerates, and I use that term with all due respect - riffing on degenerate topics that are humorous to a significant segment of the population?&lt;p&gt;Much of stand up comedy comes from an extremely dark place, and its successes derived from relating stories about their messed up lives to an audience who for a fleeting moment live vicariously through them or find humorous the complete insanity and barbarity they just witnessed. And this type of comedy is very successful. To deny this is at best naive and myopic and at worst deliberate ignorance of the world around us.&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#x27;s not exclusive to the east coast; go listen to some Bobby Lee brothel stories on YouTube and prepare to be uncomfortable. These are real people, telling real stories about their past.&lt;p&gt;Please understand that people have different tastes; there is a large audience for this type of humor; everyone else try not to choke on your own tears laughing it up with Stephen Colbert.</text></comment>

I will listen occasionally if he has an interesting guest, and I feel a lot of the outrage about him is overblown. But I agree this is pretty disgusting.</text></comment>
