How did that GOBSHITE get on the television?!

  1. It’s hard to listen to. Not only because of the shite he comes out with but mainly because he breathes really heavily. It’s disgusting.

  2. He struggles to stay relevant and only ends up appealing to TERFS and far right sorts. What I find eternally sad is he lost everything because he went down a rabbit hole of disinformation. He lost his marriage and everything. I do wonder what was the trigger point for his ridiculous opinions

  3. Firstly Rogan isn’t television secondly Rogan isn’t cool.

  4. I have not been paying much attention to all this, am I correct in saying he essentially holds the same/very similar view to jk Rowling ? As in if you are born a man then sex change surgery doesn’t make you a woman and societal protections woman have should not apply ?

  5. Hmmmm now for what reason would Joe Rogan want to have Graham Linehan on his podcast, I wonder what they’re gonna talk about. Hmmm.

  6. I wonder when it started for Linehan.

    I wonder was he angry about the trans issue and went online. Or was he online, waded into something – stuck his neck out too far, and his Ego kept him in it ever since?

    As soon as he started digging that was it, he had embarrassed himself and rather than admit that and apologise, he instead set out to convince the internet that it was he in fact who was right.

    It’s telling that folks like him and Rowling showcase their bitterness openly. The recent cigar picture / tweet, highlights just how personal and bent out of shape Rowling is. The total destruction of his life and reputation showcases Linehan’s.

    He’s gone wildly beyond rational disagreement, because his disagreement isn’t rational. It’s personal.

    Pity, Father Ted is peak.

  7. You’d need a serious brain injury to listen to Rogan

  8. It’s so so sad listening to him. I don’t even think he’s a grifter, I really believe he’s just gone nuts and needs help.

    My favourite part was where he said something along the lines of “the media spends so much time and energy on this issue when it’s not real”. Pal, you’ve done a podcast for 3 hours where all you talk about is trans people. Oh and how everyone has slighted him.

  9. Ah, a circle of awful gobshites, they deserve each other.

  10. I suspect he’s always had obtuse views. He just decided in his own head to vocalise them as he thought he was so successful he was beyond reproach.

    He’s also doubled down a lot, and I think that has definitely sealed his fate.

    From what I can tell, any real visible support from industry people just disappeared because of his outrage and views.

  11. To make matters even worse, he appears to be pro-Israel too

  12. I saw a clip of the podcast where he talks about how he went down the path that he did. Essentially early on he shared a fairly mild article (or tweet?) from a feminist that spoke about women’s rights etc. The trans community took offence and sent comments such wishing he died from cancer (he was battling cancer at the time). He then dig his heels in, refused to apologise and things spiralled from there apparently.

    Not that I agree with his views, it seems like he’s devoted his life to a crusade against marginalised people, but the backlash to him for sharing a supposed mild viewpoint on women’s rights (same thing got JK Rowling started apparently) is something that’s never spoken about, no one seems to have told whoever attacks opinions like this that it also isn’t acceptable and in a way they only have themselves to blame.

    I know Reddit has serious group think about this but it isn’t as black and white as it seems.

  13. I mean, it’s Joe Rogan. That is EXACTLY the type of person he wants on. To stir some more culture war bullshit and then just put his hands up and say “I’m just asking questions”

  14. Himself and Ian Doherty were on a podcast not so long ago playing besties… Ian Doherty has mentioned numerous times how much they despised each other dating all the back to their Hot Press days which I find absolutely hilarious.

    It’s funny how hate brings people together.

  15. My all time favourite reply to him on twitter is “Behold, a chair”

  16. He desperately needs help. Unfortunate that the trans derangement syndrome of the UK is beginning to spread to Ireland.

    Fuck public spending and better health outcomes and infrastructure, who cares when you can bully the marginalised 0.1% of the country’s population!

  17. I used to enjoy listening to the Joe Rogan Experience, particularly any podcast with Joe Diaz. Over the years, though, it’s just gone off the deep end. I’d say seeing Graham Linehan on it is the last nail in the coffin for me ever listening to it again but I’d be lying. There’s that many nails on that coffin it’s mostly metal now.

  18. I thought he came off as fairly reasonable in this convo. Either I was led to believe something entirely different about the man, or he was telling lies for the entire three hours.

    He’s still a prick regardless though.

  19. Oh god that fecking Gobshite. Srill obsessed asf with trans people.

  20. There’s a part I saw where he talks about how all his friends deserted him, but I wonder how many just went, “yea man whatever about the trans things, let’s talk about something else there” and got fed up.

  21. He doesn’t seem to consider himself Irish anymore either. Probably just for the sheer hate he gets from his home country. He kept talking about ‘how we do thing here in the UK’ etc.

  22. He’s entitled to his opinion and beliefs. However he is strangly obsessed beyond a normal person. I was disappointed he just decided to talk about trans stuff. Alot more things going on in the world.

  23. Imagine if Glinners ego allowed him to move on from the mild criticism from one person on Twitter on the storyline about a trans woman on the IT Crowd. He’d still have his family, would still be a popular figure in Ireland and would probably have gotten a show on Netflix or another streaming platform.

    Instead he went down the rabbit hole.

  24. He’s become a warning on the pitfalls of internet addiction. His gateway was the gamergate thing and how be saw himself become some kind of knight for feminism, but has since has done a complete U turn by going down an extremist rabbit hole.

    I always think of the analogy of Tony Blair and the intervention in Kosovo, which led to him becoming a figurehead of world police, and emboldened his intervention in the Iraq war by creating fake dossiers, etc.

  25. Someone started a website chronicling all his socks and alts, but gave up because there were just too many of them; I remember there were screenshots of a conversation on Twitter and it was literally just him using three different accounts. Literally ***NOBODY*** will talk to him now – even (most of) the GC cult can’t stand him anymore – so he’s been reduced to arguing with himself.

    He bangs on about “cancel culture”, but he’s cancelled himself.

  26. He’s standing up for women’s rights, what’s the problem?

  27. I tried to listen to this podcast and had to turn it off. I didn’t hear of his antics before but holy moly this guy is delusional. I don’t think Joe Rogan knew this guy was gonna talk about the trans stuff for 3 hours.

    I was hoping to hear a lot more about father ted and his other shows but it’s barely mentioned. Another Irish nutter out there living in a delusional social media land.
