A later bit about feeling intimidated round homosexual males due to Rogan’s understanding of males’s primal nature felt related: Outdated. Drained. It in the end got here as a reduction, even for the viewer who disagreed, when COVID got here up in Rogan’s litany, if solely as a result of it was a subject that hadn’t already been chewed up by the tradition like so many items of offal on Concern Issue.”
