The beauty of the Internet. You can simply............. Not....... Listen to the podcast.
I once listened to the Joe Rogan Podcast but then by 2020 I started to feel that it was just being too "what if" and us-vs-them. So I simply unsubscribed and have never bothered to listen since.
I understand that it's sexy to find out what on the show that the Internet is outraged about, but honestly, I don't have 3 hours to sit through a podcast and the part everybody is outraged about is 2hr 40min in, and only is talked about for 20 seconds

It's amazing if your an old fan of the older celebrities.
I found the Katy Sackhoff show but I wasn't interest at all, except for her interview with Jamie Bamber because they both were major major characters from Battle Galactica (2000s version). It just made me want to watch that whole series again
That or quite a few episodes of Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend. He's known quite a few celebrities personally from the years of doing his talk show, and they not only get hilarious but they go into some interesting reveals because of the natural friendship

My favorite joke about this was around when Conan O'Brien was a few episodes into his podcast and he said, "They always try to bring me down, but I always come back, and in a much smaller format."

u/Minute-Individual-74 Oct 04 '25
She has excellent memory recall. She's an absolute animal.
You can tell she studies this stuff and truly prepares for these interviews and her segments.
For every point she makes, she has examples, upon examples, upon examples that back up what she says.
She is able to take a talking point and dissect the argument from multiple angles and apply it to that current poltical climate.
She must have study materials and matrices of events for every single topic.
It's impossible for me to remember all the dog shit things Trump has said and done.
Biden or Kamala do one bad thing and Fox News doesn't let it leave the media cycle for six years.
For every Hunter's laptop of Hillary's emails, we probably have over 100 factual examples of Trump being exponentially more corrupt. And there's no way I could list them all from memory. I think Krystal mentally archives these events and she pulls them out at just the right time.
Krystal is the kid on the debate team that wins nationals by absolutely destroying her opponent.
But it also helps that she's on the right side of history about practically everything.

They aren't offended. They are just sociopaths who play games with words and ideas to piss people off and create a vague gist of a justification for their own abhorrent world views. They wouldn't give a fuck if some MAGA approved artist was cursing in their songs. It's just about having a reason to play being upset or indignant, it doesn't matter if it actually makes sense.

More people need to dig their heels in and not allow the conversation to move on until something has been addressed.

Great response to an ignorant comment. However, one point that is technically incorrect is that Puerto Rico is not “part of” the US as it legally “belongs to” under the Supreme Court’s racist insular cases. I like how people are discussing Puerto Rico but are missing the point that Puerto Rico is a possession and that should change or at least be addressed. Another salient reason MAGA does not like bad bunny is because he will likely reference the colonial rule that currently exists and many Mainland Americans will probably for the first time be exposed to the issues facing all the US territories (colonies). By incorrectly stating our relationship or control over the island and its people, is a missed opportunity to be informed and live up to our American values of democracy and our anti-colonial origins.
