I don't know the answers to any of those questions. I don't watch his shows. I only watch YouTube excerpts, and few of those, actually. I only know that years ago, he openly scoffed at the mere mention of Bigfoot. Now, he has Bigfoot "researchers" and believers on his show and treats them fairly well. I'll admit that might be purely a business decision, since sasquatchery is big business in the carnival world. Maybe he figured out that Bigfoot advocates attract money?

When someone says something on video it proves that person did say actually what they said. This applies to the famous and non-famous alike. For some, the rules are different for Joe Rogan. They can explain why. I can't. I treat all these people equally. If someone made a statement, then they made a statement. We can like or dislike the person making the statement but what was said is what was said. When we are lucky enough to have it one video, we get the exact words and even the tone offered. It has the advantage of being proof. I showed a video of what Rogan said exactly. If someone is a Rogan fan or not, the video is for all to see. People can choose to watch it or not. If they do there will be no denying what he said. Unless he changed his position, that is his position. To be fair to him or any other person, you only attribute to a person they things the person actually said. If Rogan has changed his position, I am asking for anyone to show us. Show us because it's only fair to update a person's position to what they presently believe vs chaining them to any past belief IF it is no longer their belief. Until someone shows Rogan has changed his views, his past stated views stand. Why wouldn't they. If Rogan no longer believes what he said, then show us. <--- That is too demanding for some to handle.

As usual, no.

I think you sum it up well. Until I see hard evidence he has changed his views it's my guess he hasn't changed. He moderates his public tone because as you point out it's good business. It's typical of many public figures and others. I'll bet the Q's I asked (which views has he changed?) will go several pages on this BFF thread. However, no one will post any evidence any view has actually changed from the video I posted. They will just try to imply a softening public tone means he changed. He hasn't. This is a man who- if he changed his views on anything- wouldn't be shy about it.

I don't pretend to know much about Rogan. I do know what he said in the video I provided. Those are his own words. I have not read a single post where he walked away from or changed any part of that opinion. Unless he has made recent statements saying he now believes in Bigfoot and the things he said about believers where improper then that would still be his opinion or position. Its possible he changed his positions. I'll just ask this: Q. At present time Does Joe Rogan believe in Bigfoot? Does he think the PGF is a hoax? Does he think Bob H was in a suit. Does he still think there is a receipt verifying Patterson purchased a suit and there is a paper trail all over the place? Does he think those who believe in Bigfoot is are in a cult? Does he still think those who look for Bigfoot in are a bunch of white dudes whom women do not find sexually attractive (and he framed this much more extreme). Which of these things does he no longer believe? what proof is there he has changed these views? I can prove he said each and every one of these things and more in the video I provided. That's Proof. Where is proof he changed some, all, or any of them? Could be and that is fine with me as I don't want to misstate anyone's present opinion. I want to understand his up-to-date views. Which of the above views has he changed?

Yeah, not Joe Rogan the theorist, but Joe Rogan the media platform that the corporate media refuses to provide? Can you imagine a corporate media model giving Bob Gymlan hours of time on their platform? Did they give Roger Patterson any coverage beyond a couple minutes of "reporting" accompanied with thev standard accusations of hoaxing, corruption, and grifting needed to condemn the film?
