I think Jericho on his podcast is trying to be a poor mans Joe Rogan and failing. When he has those wacky guests on its really sad.

Whats wrong with having people on, with opinions or views that are different? Personally, I only listen to his wrestling guests, but I like that he has a wide variety of people and topics. There is nothing wrong with being open minded. Just because he has a flat earther or Donald Trump Jr and you arent fans of those guests, doesnt make it sad.

Unfortunately some people donāt think that those who have a contrarian opinion to their own should be given a platform to speak. My preference is to let them speak, and then debate them. This is why I loved Kevin Owens response to Rykar so much.
Below is what Owens tweeted to him:
*The freedom you speak of entitles you to speak your mind all you want. Iām not here to argue that. I just really need to tell you that I think you pushing your shitty wrestling catchphrase as all of this is happening is absolutely fucking pathetic. *
Good night.

The intolerance paradox is a lot more complicated than āarenāt fans of those guestsā.
Regardless, i donāt even need to get into that debate to think itās sad. I think itās sad because like Benjamin, it seems like a feeble attempt to replicate Joe Rogan to me.

So everyone should fall in line and all have the same opinions? Might as well just create robots of everyone and kill off all the humans in that case.
Jericho having a guy like Don Trump Jr on and then asking him zero pertinent questions normalizes him. The other guests are cheap plots to try and be Joe Rogan.

Why does this matter to you though? I dont care for Don Jr, so I didnt listen to that podcast.

Because society as a whole is worse off by Jericho attempting to normalize Trump.

My big issue w/TIJ isnāt that he has guests like that on, itās that he rarely challenges them on their views. Jericho himself may not believe the lies & half-truths that a person like DJTJ spouts, but by not checking him heās giving a form of endorsement to his views and THAT can be very harmful in the long run.

Yep exactly. The Trump episode was a great opportunity to actually question him but Jericho chose not to. He basically endorsed Trump policy by doing so. Very dangerous

Very well said! This is my point, I donāt think silencing anyone is the answer (unless of course they are calling for violence), if you donāt agree, the better way of going about it is challenging them.
Don Jr is also not that informed even on the conservative side of things, challenging him would be quite easy.
Ok so your issue is not so much him being on, its how the interview was handled. This I get. Is that fair for me to say? I donāt want to put words in your mouth.
Yeah. Donāt have a problem as long as itās used as a way to challenge rather than promote.

From everything Iāve ever heard on his podcasts, that what he does, is promote. Iāve never heard him challenge anyone. At least not in any of the ones Iāve listened to. Iāve also not read anything, that he challenged so and so person in an interview. Whether heās a supporter of who he has on, or a believer of what those people are talking about, I dont know.
Heās Chris Jericho and while heās known, I dont think he is that well known, that he can pick and choose who he has on, so he takes who he can get and if he challenges people, I think heāll be less likely to get others in the future.

Heās had a couple of decent non wrestling guests

I struggle with this. I support everyoneās right to think whatever they want but thereās some anti science stuff that gets dangerous.
Like why should they be given a platform? It legitimizes their ideas and puts them on equal footing with actual science.

I have a couple of friends who have worked with Jericho and they hadā¦not great things to say about him.
Iāve always been a fan, so I hoped it was just a bad day or misunderstanding. Iām not so sure anymore.
