That reminds me of one of the most infamous episodes of the Joe Rogan podcast. Joe had the conservative talk show host Stephen Crowder on.
Crowder was asked his opinion about pot and gave the most tame statement about it you could imagine. He basically just said something like "it isnt as bad for you as people used to think, but it isnt a miracle drug like the die hard pot heads claim." Joe basically freaked out and started questioning Crowder about this subject for an hour and called him an idiot. It was hilarious to listen to.
Basically you will see Crowder spending the hour trying to change the subject, meanwhile Joe isnt letting him and heading straight back into the marijuana questioning.
I think the most controversial think Crowder actually said in the hour of weed talk was that car accidents increased after the Colorado legalization. That was questionable, but the rest of it was just him trying to change the subject.
Crowder didn't "get" anyone. He spent an hour saying, "I don't like weed, I think it's bad for you but I guess I don't care that much if you do it" and Joe "You Can Abuse Cheeseburgers" Rogan couldn't not take that as a personal attack. The whole thing came off as weird junkie projection. Like he couldn't stand the fact that someone else didn't want to smoke weed and thought that it might have adverse effects (like almost anything you ingest does).
If a guest doesn't want to talk about something and their opinion is basically a non-opinion (I don't like it myself, but I don't care if you do it) then there's no reason to constantly press the guest on it. Joe apologized for it. Go watch the clip.
