have you seen the clip where Rogan hassles him for being overweight. hard to watch...🙄. Also know you're avoiding the politics but before i realised what this guy was about he interviewed, v-e-r-y sympathetically Ann Marie Watters ... look her up!

I didn't know this guy so I just watched a 5 min clip. OMG what a narcissist!!! He actually reminded me of an annoying old man academic I used to work with. What about his interview with Rogan? I've heard Rogan described as a gateway drug to the far right.

Is there a place where we should make guru suggestions that aren’t related to Saad and Rubin?

Would be interesting to also hear one of them being interviewed on Rogan so you could focus on the subject but also note how little pushback Rogan gives on certain claims.

Sean Doody

This is gonna be good!

Christopher Kavanagh

I’ve listened to his content. He wants to be a guru, it’s just he’s not very smart.

MaxPlan

I would definitely listen to a Dave Rubin episode, although does he really have many guru qualities? He would score pretty high on grifting

Thomas Clarke

Yeh, there's definitely a category of someone who exhibits guru like characteristics but doesn't actually attract a following. A brown dwarf shares many characteristics of a star but the fact that it doesn't have sufficient mass to sustain fusion is important.

You could do a 2 parter on Dave Rubin.

Andrew Mac

Surely Rubin deserves his own episode. So much to 'analyse' through the DTG lens.

Grammaticus Gore

No, he I worse! He wants so bad to be a guru. But he can’t quite pull it off.

William LEGRAIN

He took such a nose dive in the last couple years. Idk if I consider him a guru though, does he actually have a following? Does the amount of followers that someone has matter when considering a guru? Probably hard to measure.

Saad and Rubin in the same episode? I suspect that would be amazing. Now, that could be wrong….but it could also not be wrong. The fact that it’s even plausible…..is a STUNNING fact.

Jeff

Very excited for this one.

Grammaticus Gore

Just make it a ten hour podcast. Chris and Matt can quit their jobs.

I'm afraid if you cover his conversation with Rubin, you'll be unable to control yourself from making fun of Rubin the whole time and not focus so much on Saad. This conversation might be worth looking at, where he characterizes pathogenic ideas (post-modernism) and then goes on to discuss some of his own (bad covid takes) without realizing any contradictions. https://youtu.be/z_F5uNCB6-g
