Explosively Dangerous: the Joe Rogan thread

I laughed till I cried. OK. 

I tried to listen to an episode the other day, first time since it became Spotify-exclusive.  I have beef with Spotify.  I've recently been using an Apple Watch to play my podcasts through the normal Apple podcast app.  It syncs with the podcast library on my phone, plays through the Bluetooth headphones, gives me easy play/pause/volume control right on my wrist, and is an overall pleasant experience.  No reason to expect anything different with Spotify, right?  Wrong!  Spotify has an Apple Watch app, and it allows you to easily access whatever's on your Spotify library as long as you have a Bluetooth connection to the phone.  So far, so good.  But th catch is that the Spotify watch app works ONLY as a "remote control" for the phone.  So I can play/pause from the Watch, but instead of sending the sound to the headphones it sends them to the phone.  Regardless of whehter I have the phone and/or the watch connected to the headphones, it just plays through the phone speakers.  The only way I can get it to play through headphones is to disconnect the watch from the phone, and then use the phone directly to play stuff.

Very annoying, and seems like an easy thing for Spotify to rectify but everything I've googled says this is a conscious decision that they've made to let the watch only act as a "remote control" and there's no way to use Spotify, watch, and headphones together.  Fuck that.

Yeah, I know this isn't as serious as the millions of black people that are senselessly murdered and enslaved by whites every day.  But it is annoying; TY for understanding.

More explosively dangerous rhetoric from everyone’s favorite “right wing” podcaster. Shame on Spotify for continuing to give this Nazi monster a platform.

Rogan has had many 3 hour long conversations with experts on this stuff over the past year. And that’s his conclusion after doing so. Along with most normals.
