I have to preface this by saying Joe Rogan made himself by playing centrist. (lemmy.world)

This dude was awful to women throughout his career. He's made disgusting remarks about and to women, often.

It was on Stern's radio show that Trump confessed to walking in on women in the changing rooms at the Miss Universe pageant, per resurfaced clips published by CNN. He also joked, "As the owner of the pageant, it's your obligation [to sleep with contestants]." Not to be outdone, Stern told Trump that his daughter was a "piece of a**," and the two laughed over their agreement that 35 is, for women, "check-out time."

Oh, wow, so progressive. 🙄

The front cover depicts Stern dressed in drag. The back cover features a picture of Stern with O. J. Simpson at Donald Trump's wedding in 1993. The phrase "Getting away with murder" is printed in large white letters, referring to Simpson's murder case in which he was acquitted on two counts of murder.[4] Regan rejected two photographs and illustrations that Stern had chosen to include in the book. One depicted Simpson showing Stern how to slash and dismember his wife; another showed Stern holding a hatchet and his wife's severed leg while Simpson coaches him. In a letter to Stern's agent Don Buchwald, Regan said they were "beyond tasteless" and "entirely inappropriate". One that Regan accepted depicted Stern's wife, covered in blood with her eyes rolled up and her neck slashed, being fed through a meat grinder operated by him while Simpson stands by giving the thumbs up. Regan said that Simpson was "not happy" with the back cover. Following the book's release Stern commented on the reaction to the picture: "That's the kind of thing that my wife and I felt strongly about-O. J. should be in jail. She was totally comfortable with it, although she looks at it and thinks it's much worse now." In 1996, Stern came in at number one on Mr. Blackwell's annual list of worst dressed women.
