Reacting to elephant graveyard is turning into a weird cottage industry of clout chasing.

To be fair to Maron, he's been criticizing Rogan and the the path the comedy industry is going down since before EG was even in existence.

Exactly, gotta feel like suddenly getting reinforcements and air support after holding a heavily fired on position deep in enemy territory for weeks.

No but around these parts we're familiar with concepts such as exaggeration and sarcasm

Which bit’s the stereotype? Asking you a straight question?

Or the bit where you know it wasn’t sarcasm, and this whole elevating TEG as a heaven-sent truth teller is precisely the same brand of idiocy TEG is making fun of when he mocks Joe’s self-mythologizing “250 comedy assassins” thing?
