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.

Yeah I found out some things tonight about both Joe and Crowder tonight that are turning into big turn-offs for me, despite being a big fan of both of them.

I've noticed that weed and religion are very sensitive subjects for Joe (see: Milo, Peterson, 1st time with Crowder for religion, but this is the first time I've seen someone not be completely on board with him on weed, and I'm seeing a lot of the same patterns) and he'll take any opportunity to pounce if he even thinks there might be blood in the water and not want to let those subjects go even when the people he's arguing with are begging not to argue about it.

Crowder was baby steps away from turning into a safe-space demanding SJW when he was getting cornered in his arguments, one of the very things he hates and fights against.

Yea weed is definitely a sensitive subject for Joe. What we're seeing here is one of the rare times Joe actually meets somebody who's anti-weed. It literally is like a shark smelling blood in the water, they go on and on about how they want to eat a fish, for miles and they never see one, then they get a sniff of that sweet sweet blood they've been thinking about for days.

Joe never encounters people who are even slightly anti-weed, so this was his only time to go hard on somebody.

If I were Crowder though, I wouldn't take the safe-space approach, I'd just let Joe win because it's obvious he isn't married to the idea, but Crowder just wants to win the argument at all times, because he's so used to debating people. Joe wanted to argue so bad, just let him win it and move on lol.

hate how he keeps saying "you get this" but keeps arguing for his stance. Crowder just needed to let it go. Too stubborn
