My 27 yr old sibling is a hard core follower of Joe Rogan 💩

What are some progressive channels/people/content that I could have my sibling start watching instead?

Preferably something that has a similar flavor - example: male host, muscular, easy to digest. I think that will make the transition easier.

My personal preferences are Seth Meyers and John Oliver, but Last Week Tonight (John Oliver) is even a heavy watch for me sometimes!

[No Andrew Hubbard. He’s another fake.]

Thank you!

Not to mention the entire premise of the post being, essentially, "I don't approve of the entertainment my sibling chooses to consume. Please make suggestions for me as to other entertainment that I can then use to regulate said adult sibling, removing their entertainment that I don't like and forcing them to consume something I find more acceptable."

Like...I think Rogan's whole thing is stupid and most I've talked to who like his stuff are similarly ridiculous...but to go from that to full out "I plan to take it away from them and force them to do something I find more acceptable" is really quite a leap.

Or maybe it's "I love my sibling and don't want to see them slip further into this conspiracy rabbit hole. How can I offer them similar content that isn't as harmful?"
