The Swamp

Actually, most of you guys on Twitter probably follow this guy anyways...

Rex Chapman has a new podcast out, called "Charges with Rex Chapman." First ep, he turns the focus on himself and has Michael Rappaport interview him on his being arrested for stealing/shoplifting and opioid drug addiction that preceded it. I, honestly, had no idea about any of that and found it fascinating. Even if you're fully aware, I get the impression he hasn't talked about it much, so...

I just finished listening to the Meta World Peace Artest interview and it's pretty good. Ron is a thoughtful guy, just doesn't have the gift of gab, so not super insightful. But I KNOW he doesn't like talking about The Malace, so it was interesting to walk through that night. I will say, he's very self-aware about his mental health issues and why he was viewed the way he was, especially early in his career.

I forgot how young he was, having dipped St. Johns after just one year.

Upcoming eps include Ryan Leaf, Lamar Odom and Mike Vick.

Does he discuss all of the memes and videos that he steals online currently?

But dude was ahead of his time though. Every memer borrows from every other memer. And they're all getting paid.

So I've been listening to this podcast when I have time and I thought the episode where they talk about Ricky Berry's suicide and his mental health issues was a particularly good episode. The discussion about Ron Artest/Meta World Peace (in this thread) made me think about it because they discussed how Artest being so open and honest about his mental health issues helped bring the issue of mental health and the NBA to the light.

“You can never be woke enough that’s the problem, it keeps going,” he explains. “It keeps going further and further down the line and if you get to the point where you capitulate, where you agree to all these demands, it’ll eventually get to straight white men are not allowed to talk, because it’s your privilege to express yourself when other people of color have been silenced throughout history.”

Right-leaning, obviously. We all know that under their definition Kaepernick would qualify, even if they'd never admit it. Fucking pussies.

Right and if you're not just some random podcaster trying to get by on Patreon donations and are earning a salary while expressing your freedom of speech from what ever huge media corporation I'm certain pays Rogan, you have absolutely no right not to be silenced.

I can see how that quote, out of context, sounds horrendous, but I actually listened to that episode, and it was hyperbole. Rogan says a lot of stupid shit, and he is aggregating at times because he buys into whatever his guest is saying whether it’s Dan Crenshaw, Bernie Sanders, Andrew Yang or Tulsi Gabbard. But calling him Q or GOP or Alt-Right is just ignorant and proves the attacks against the Left correct. Rogan is far from ideal, but he lets people on both sides speak freely for 3 hours, and there is tremendous value in that. When it comes to political issues, he isn’t educated enough to counter anyone, and he is easily be persuaded and isn’t looking to debate, but just listen. He is actually Liberal on 90% of issues, but the SJWs jump all over him for what his guests say. And I agree with the Right when they criticize the SJWs for silencing opposing speech. I’m all for consequences for voicing bad or hateful speech, but sunlight is the best way to kill bad ideas.

He's going to say something at some point that someone will disagree with. Even better if it's a snippet of a larger contextual point being made which means he's totally a GQP operative!

And while I don't condone his inviting on Alex Jones, he did push back on Steven Crowder and Ben Shapiro when he invited them on.
