it was an argument that many others do (even keith, to say one), basically the "who are you to name call".

It's apples and oranges to me. If Joe didn't take the role hosting Fear Factor someone else would have. He was a cog in the machine at most, and if it wasn't him there would have been some other cog. That's why to place any blame on Rogan for the degradation of the quality of TV shows is misguided.
If Mencia didn't steal and didn't actively step on smaller standups there was nobody else ready to step in to take that job like there were for Fear Factor. Joe hurt nobody.

"Fairly silly at times" is a perfect description of Rogan, and I only get his show when he has a good guest on because he's not the greatest host/interviewer on it. And it's not that he's a bad interviewer always, he does a fine job for the UFC, it's just the vibe of his podcast is pretty lacklustre.
Maron I listen to every show because he is the greatest host/interviewer.

Yeah, that's one of Marc's greatest assets. His self-criticism and vulnerability isn't just disarming for fans, it brings out the vulnerability in the guests too.
