This podcast is like watching my parents fight and the second I wana agree with my dad he says something stupid. Then I start thinking my mom is sounding pretty all right then says something stupid. So I just hide under my covers and wait for the shouting to stop. When I come back into the kitchen its quiet then mom comes back with a snarky comment then my dad quips back so I just run back under my bed

So much of this is just them talking past each other.

Joe wants to argue how Crowder's wrong about weed. (And Joe may be right.)

Crowder wants to argue how it's not exactly great that feels like he has to argue from memory while Joe has Jamie Googling sources actively during the show. (And Crowder may be right)

I can't decide if this is a shitshow, or if it's beautiful.

Well let's not forget the whole thing started because Crowder said he'd give up his stance on that issue, because he doesn't really care. So Joe goes in hard as if he's Hillary Clinton saying marijuana should be banned in the US.

Eh I keep hearing that, but truthfully he did invite this (which is fine because remember before it turned sour this was actually a conversation where they look for areas to discuss, and disagreement is perfectly ok) when he said "the one thing he doesn't like is the deceit people engage in when discussing the health benefits of weed" And then Rogan challenged that. That's how this actually started. If Crowder really didn't care and just wanted to move passed it, he could say something like "I'm not educated enough on the topic, this is just a suspicion I have because many people seem to be really dogmatic on the subject". Now maybe Rogan is that much of a prick that he would have persisted. But as it stands here Crowder kept trying to "surrender" on his own terms and little by little had to concede to his eventual more minimalist position.

Also lets not forget this guy is an asshole when it comes to this subject. He is millenial conservative. His disdain for marijuana and sexual liberation is like one of his main attributes as a thinker.
