Oliver Anthony joined Joe Rogan's podcast to discuss the whirlwind his past month has been. They talked about the progressive attacks against him, most notably from actor Rainn Wilson. Dwight from The Office.

Yes, I know Anthony "hates both sides equally." But it's only the left side delegitimizing his success and calling him racist.

Wilson did neither. He tweeted about how if he were writing a protest song about middle-class struggles, he'd write about how evil billionaires are instead.

“There is nothing funnier than millionaires talking sh*t about billionaires," laughed Rogan. "There’s nothing funnier than millionaires pretending these billionaires are out of touch."

The comedian added, "take Dwight from The Office down to West Virginia. Take him through those coal mining countries. Take him through those places in Appalachia where people have extreme poverty, and pills have ravished those areas."

I'll be honest, while Rainn Wilson going to West Virginia might learn a thing or two, Dwight from The Office going down there would be hilarious. Remember, Dwight is a volunteer sheriff's deputy. He has a uniform and everything. If he found so much as a single opioid without a script, a full investigation would be launched to find out who was pushing the pills.

It would end with him carrying round a cup of Joe Manchin's urine, but you get the point.

I could explain that Anthony wasn't attacking people on welfare. He was singing about the frustration of people who work hard and barely scrape by, and looking at the government seemed more concerned about the people who don't. Also when he sings "I've been sellin' my soul, workin' all day / Overtime hours for bullshit pay", there is an above-average chance his employer is one of them millionaires and billionaires that Rainn wishes the song was about. We know the rich men north of Richmond are all millionaires and billionaires.

But we should go easy on Rainn. His writers have been on strike for a while now. Coming up with your own thoughts can be tough on an actor.
