This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

He establishes a good rapport with guests. But sometimes he uses that to lull people into agreeing with some of his fucked up shit.

He asked Coffeezilla (guy who does journalism about online scams) about trans rights. Coffeezilla rightly responded something like "I don't know this isn't something I'm an expert in." The look on Rogan's face was like, Eh I guess I didn't get you on that one.

And it's weird how he tries to create controversy. He's already the #1 podcaster, why is he doing these underhanded tricks to stir up controversy to gain notoriety?

It was a better show when he was just a dumb guy talking to smart people. That was a lot of fun. Don't know why he didn't just stick with that.

I agree with you. That's why the majority of episodes are unwatchable the last few years. I still click though when he has an especially interesting guest, the Dave one is probably the best interview with him of all time
