Dudebro Podcasts and Their Malicious Influence on Men

The Thriller

Well-Known Member
I’d like to ask you guys which podcasts you listen to?

Why are young men disinterested in reading newspapers or seeking information from reliable sources?

If you were young or raising young children, where would you direct them for role models, entertainment, and news?

Because right now the right wing OWNS the podcast and social media world. Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth, we already know plenty about. But there’s plenty more. Andrew Tate and his brother have millions of followers. They’ve also been credibly accused to pedophilia, rape, and human trafficking. Joe Rogan, who has millions of listeners consistently invites horrible people on his podcast. In just this past month he’s invited two:
  • Darryl Cooper
  • Ian Carroll
Darryl is attempting to imitate David Irving. He was a famous Holocaust denier and white supremacist who presented himself as an alternative historian throughout the 1980s and 1990s. He was treated with a certain amount of credibility until he sued American Historian, Deborah Lipstadt. He clearly had hoped she’d settle and wouldn’t fight him. She didn’t and the case went to court. This forced her and her team of historians to refute his alternative history. This revealed him as the Holocaust, white supremacist, and Hitler toady he really was. His reputation never recovered. I’ve read some of Irving’s deplorable work. Point 2 is directly from his book.

This is what Darryl, who’s attempting to imitate David Irving said on Joe Rogan this past month:

  1. Cooper falsely suggested that the murder of millions of Jews was an unintended consequence of Hitler’s unpreparedness for war, and that the Jews killed in concentration camps “ended up dead there.”
  2. Adolf Hitler’s antisemitism as borne of battle weariness and economic hardship. He claimed, among other things, that Hitler opposed the mass 1938 Kristallnacht pogrom and that Hitler came to be antisemitic from feeling the reason Germans were in a “sorry state” was because “they’re being manipulated by the Jews, by the Jewish press, by the Jews who own the theaters and put out the films and whatever else.”

And before this, Rogan has Ian Carroll on his podcast. This is what Ian said:

  1. In Carroll’s interview on March 5, he claimed sex offender Jeffrey Epstein “was clearly a Jewish organization working on behalf of Israel and other groups” and said Israel was founded by Jewish organized crime figures, according to Jewish Insider.
Carroll is also known to recycle Protocols of Zion antisemitism and conspiracy, like claiming:
  • Jews control banks
  • Jews control America
  • Jews orchestrated World War I and 9/11
This sludge is what millions of American males are listening to. And we wonder why they’re increasingly isolated, hateful towards women and minorities, and struggling to grow up? Clearly, dudebro podcasts aren’t having a positive impact on anyone.

Resources:

Deborah Libstack trial book (really fun and fascinating. I haven’t read her new book out about antisemitism. I’m sure it’s good. Salt Lake County library has a copy of her book about the trial. )



Deborah movie (outstanding. Here’s the trailer)

David Irving Interview. What a disgusting man. Although, he sounds a lot like Trump and Musk today. This is the man many right wing influencers are trying to imitate.

Darryl Cooper background:
 
Just to add, why doesn’t Rogan ever invite on credible professors who have experience in these fields? He always invites the conspiracy nuts, racists, and kooks. Seems to me like the guy who wants to “interview anyone” and “just asks questions” should be eager to ask some of the best and brightest experts out there.

Has Timothy Snyder ever been on his podcast?
What about Christopher Browning?
Richard J Evans?
Timothy Ryback?
James Whitman?

What would be an interesting interview would be Nicholas Stargardt or Richard Gall, who write at length about the German people and how Nazis intermixed Christianity with their racism and ideology, an insight that would probably be lost on most of Rogan’s listeners but at least would help dispel the notion that he’s in it for the extremists, racists, and kooks.

Why don’t Dudebros interview credible people? Why always the extremist and weirdos?

It isn't. You only see what you want to see.

Sir Roger Penrose isn't an extremist or a weirdo. He's a Nobel laureate physicist and widely revered.



Rogan has had on Neil deGrasse Tyson multiple times. Michio Kaku, Ray Kurzweil, David Sinclair, and Paul Stamets are leaders in their respective fields and all have been on Joe Rogan's podcast. There is a large list of highly respected scientists who have been interviewed by Joe Rogan.
 
I really like this guys stuff


Its nothing revolutionary but he's an excellent communicator.

They are only extremists and weirdos to you. To Rogan's target demographic they are the voices of reason and your guys are the kooks. They have the cult by the short and curlies so supposed "experts" are not to be trusted and anything the left labels as a "conspiracy theory" is the real truth since why else would the devil try to suppress it if it isn't the truth? Rogan knows where his bread is buttered and it isn't through fair and balanced representation, it's through conspiracies and sensationalism. He brings on the occasional "academic" and the occasional Neil DeGrasse Tyson to keep the vaguest air of credibility and otherwise he gives his audience what they want.

It is the marketplace of ideas, and in that, diversity truly is a strength. All of the content creators on @The Thriller 's list aren't voices I agree with but I've read material from all of them and I strongly support their ability to make a living putting out their content for an audience with an appetite for it. Where I disagree with @The Thriller is in his pushing for voices he disagrees with to be silenced, and in his pushing "rainbow book" ideology on other people's children against their parent's wishes.

Perhaps that makes me a hypocrite in shutting down some content for children while being a free speech advocate, but I'm comfortable with that contradiction.
 
My favorite podcasts are-

Tides of History
Trashfuture
If Books Could Kill
Well There’s Your Problem
And of course, Jackpotting Around
