Okay, so I’ve been seeing a lot of buzz lately about Alex Jones and Joe Rogan, especially with some of the older podcasts resurfacing. I got curious and decided to dig in a bit myself, just to see what the fuss was all about. I’m no expert, just a guy with some free time and a Wi-Fi connection.
First, I started by just trying to get a handle on who these guys are. Like, I knew they were both kind of controversial figures, but I didn’t really know the why.
My Little Research Process
- Searched for “Alex Jones” and “Joe Rogan” separately. Just simple, broad searches.
- Scrolled through some of the top news articles and videos. Tried to get a sense of the general opinions about them.
- Noticed a lot of talk about “conspiracy theories” and “free speech debates.” Those seemed to be big themes.
- Focused on the “Joe Rogan Experience” podcast episodes featuring Alex Jones.
- Watched/listened to parts of a few of them. I mean, some of these are hours long! I definitely didn’t have time for all of that.
- Took some very rough notes. More like keywords, really, just to keep track of the main topics they were hitting.
Honestly, the whole thing was kind of overwhelming. There’s just so much out there, and a lot of it is pretty heated. People seem to either love these guys or hate them. Not a lot of in-between.
From what I could gather, the episodes are super intense. They cover everything from government cover-ups to, well, some pretty out-there stuff about aliens and interdimensional beings. I’m not gonna lie, some of it made me raise an eyebrow or two.
I found myself getting sidetracked a lot. I’d start reading about one thing they mentioned, and then I’d be down a rabbit hole of Wikipedia articles and forum posts for an hour. It’s easy to get lost in all of it.
After a few hours of this, I decided I’d had enough for one day. It’s a lot to process. I’m still not sure what I think about the whole thing. It is,interesting, but I think I need a break from all the controversy.
I don’t know If I will be continue this research.
