After months of sharply criticizing President Donald Trump’s actions, decisions and rhetoric, the left-leaning MeidasTouch Podcast overtook the Joe Rogan Experience for the first time last week, according to YouTube’s weekly ranking of top podcast shows.
While Rogan’s 20.1 million YouTube followers dwarf MeidasTouch’s 5.2 million, the podcasting giant’s show finished in second place. Progressive YouTuber Brian Tyler Cohen and conservative-leaning Sean Ryan’s shows also made the top ten.
The MeidasTouch Podcast saw its rankings climb in July as Trump attempted to appease Congress, the media, and voters over his administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case, with episodes zeroing in on the president’s past ties to and comments about the disgraced financier.
Graham Hancock is a complete and utter fraud. He’s so full of shit that if you gave him an enema he’d shrivel to a stick figure.
That “debate” between him and Flint Dibble is fucking pathetic. Please don’t even suggest that that pseudo archeologist hack is worth any fucking respect.
The interesting stuff I remember from him was south america lidar. Legit research that wasn’t mainstream at the time. Guy is for sure Looney but he wouldn’t have the following he does if it was all bullshit forever.
He went insane in the late 80’s/90’s, by his own admission spent most of the time really stoned. 1992 is when his book about the Ark of the Covenant/Holy Grail came out. He has zero archeological credentials, has argued that his mythical advanced civilization built pyramids on Mars, and has done obscene damage to popular understandings of archeology.
It is cool that real archeologists found advanced (but not space faring technology advanced) structures using LIDAR in Ecuador. It is not cool that he uses that research, which he was not involved in because he is not an archeologist, to argue for a mythical hyper advanced civilization that was wiped out by a meteor impact. Half of the AI archeology slop memes that pollute Facebook are from shit he made up; the other half is Von Daniken/Zechariah Sitchin’s Annunaki bullshit.
He’s also a trash human being - the way that he and Rogan’s audience treated Flint Dibble, who was going through treatment for cancer at the time, was absolutely disgusting.
Miniminutemen does a good job of ripping him to shreds.
Fits for the “dropped too much acid in 79” vibe I remember. I don’t remember anything of his mostly stuff he read and was repeating. Vaguely remember skipping the stuff where he pluggs his books. Remember Joe getting him of telekinesis tangent and laughing, was fun to see Joe Cringe.
What world do you live in. He wouldn’t have the following if he was full of bullshit? What shape is the planet you live on round or flat?
