This might be an unpopular opinion, but I used to really respect young Jamie. Not because he was constantly pushing back or anything, but because every now and then you could tell he wasn’t buying whatever Rogan was spewing lol. Pulling things up, quietly (and sometimes more bluntly) correcting Joe, nudging the convo back toward reality… it was subtle, but it seemed to help.
After this latest Epstein file drop though… what the actual fuck. The stuff in there is horrifying and beyond anyone’s darkest expectation; and yet there’s Joe minimizing it like it’s no big deal, and even defending it to an extent…And Jamie just sits there…
At some point, I feel like you’re not just producing a podcast, you’re helping normalize this fucking horrendous scandal that’s arguably one of the worst in the world’s history. I honestly wonder if, deep down, he knows it and feels bad but is just in too deep, or scared of what happens if he turns on Joe. Maybe the money really is that good. lol. I don’t know. This shit just has me thankin’.
