yeaaaaah delia seems a bit like a whore that probably stuck it into something he shouldn't have
as for rogan having people that need the platform, we're not really looking at things fairly.
take a jordan peterson.
never heard of him before jre, been on a few times, took over the internet and wrote a book.
now is jordan some nobody with no ability to self-promote? no. but that doesn't mean rogan gave him a huge boost.
there are countless examples of people that aren't featured on MSM, some academics with fringe theories...
just because he has people on that have platforms, that doesn't mean they can promote themselves everywhere, and jre doesnt provide a huge boost.
as for examples that would fit skipper's definition, he's had a few comics on that were basically starving and homeless and put them on the biggest talkshow in the world.
and lastly, joe at least once per episode will say something to the effect "im the fear factor guy that commentates cage fighting and tells jokes, im not smart and say a lot of stupid shit."
to say joe acts as if he's smart is pure fantasy.
