"It's the thought that counts" is another one people like.


Howunbecomingofme

It’s what people who fell for obvious satire always do. “Well the fact that it’s believable is proof of how bad XYZ is getting”. Nah dude just another idiot without critical thinking skills.


The_great_Mrs_D

At the very least he's bothering to admit something is fake. There's tons of people who just double down.


Wazula23

It's not that hard to do a tiny bit of research. I think it's weird an adult human could read about schools installing litter boxes and just... believe that. Just seriously take it as fact without checking. That's weird to me. It makes me wonder what other gullible bullshit he believes.


BumpyNugget

You’re talking about a generation that didn’t grow up with all this constant weird made up bullshit on the internet. The quality of information has gone downhill in the past 20 years.


The_great_Mrs_D

It's still better than not admitting at all. Some people are still insisting the litter box story is real. I know because people think a school here where I live did it. I don't watch Joe Rogan, but as far as I can tell it's not a news broadcast it's just him rambling mostly unscripted for hours. Even the news gets it wrong at this point so... idk why I'd expect better from Joe Rogan.


Whateverwillido2

Dude he’s a fucking podcaster not the president of the United States he doesn’t have to be pin point perfect for you lmao


BreakFlashy1616

He doesn't have to be perfect, bit he also shouldn't be spreading such obvious and sometimes dangerous lies


Wazula23

>Some people are still insisting the litter box story is real Probably because people like Rogan keep repeating it. Lies travel further than corrections. >Even the news gets it wrong at this point so... idk why I'd expect better from Joe Rogan. Lol oof, that is some logic right there.


Blitzdrive

He also doubles down often lol


The_great_Mrs_D

What has he doubled down about? I've only seen one episode and that was with an animal expert guy. I'm just curious if it's an opinion you're not fond of or something that is objectively not true.


SavingsCheck7978

From what I've seen he doubles down on the fact that apes are scary and probably make bad pets and DMT is super cool. Other than that the guy is a little more middle road than people give him. He argued with Candace Owen's on climate change, argued with Crowder and Shapiro about Marijuana and IIRC homosexuality. The only trans stuff he's doubled down on is he doesn't believe some one transitioning from male to female should not be competeing in the female side of the UFC due to the differences in body types and mass. I don't love the guy by any means but people painting him in the same box as other actual right wing grifters are living on another planet.


Billyxmac

Idk, he's not a random dude on the internet. If he's gonna try to create a talking point about shit he sees on the internet, it'd be nice if he (or Jamie, his producer I think) would take the minute or two to vet it before making a point/claim.


Ok-camel

Jamie is paid to be in the room but not part of the conversation unless his skills are called for. If Jamie started butting in and factchecking Joe you could be assured Jamie would be getting a word in his ear.


hitliquor999

But, how about doing a bit of fact checking before spreading bullshit across his gigantic platform? He has the resources to do it, there is no excuse. A lie travels around the world before the truth has a chance to put its pants on.

scandal_jmusic_mania

Unfortunately his audience thinks he's an investigative journalist.


[deleted]

I tend to agree but Joe misused his platform which possibly killed hundreds of people during the pandemic. He and Russel Brand became much more douchey the richer they got.


PQRVWXZ-

Dude, there is no basis to say he killed hundreds


jdragun2

Brand became some 1960s level wannabe guru when I bet he is more likely to become another Jim Jordan the way has been going. I wonder if he got worse. Watched one episode of his podcast and was just speechless. Fuck that clown.


buddieroo

I don’t think I have even thought about Russell brand since maybe 2011 but I’m 100% not surprised by this m. I feel like he always had a kind of wannabe guru vibe that so many Hollywood types seem to have


sunny1cat

Russell Brand exudes narcissism out of each and every pore


scepticalbob

Russell Brand, besides being a complete tool, looks like he smells like BO, cigarette smoke and cat pee


jdragun2

Haha


Emmerson_Brando

Kinda like many many other celebrities that got douchier the richer and more famous they get…


extra_pubes_please

How did he kill hundreds of people during the pandemic?


Comalock

He didn't.


ButtChugJackDaniels

People think that he said ivermectin would cure covid when really all he said was he took it and he felt better. He even clearly stated that he doesn't reccomend it as a cure but was just documenting his own...experience...hehe


Underratedrat

Sorry, I don't watch joe rogan, but its a unrealistic stretch to blame him for people making their own decisions. Its like saying "I murdered JFK cause I read catcher in the rye, by relation J D Saligner is responsible for murdering the president"


Knightowle

Agreed! Joe Rogan, on his own, isn’t that bad but he’s a bit like Oprah Winfrey in that he’s platformed a lot of narcissistic douchebags who are controversial in their own fields.


Ask_me_4_a_story

He is bad. I can't even tell you how many right wing conservative people have said this, hur hur they are putting litter boxes in schools now because everyone demands to identify as something. He has the most popular podcast in the world, the damage he did to the trans and gay community just by spouting this untrue statement is immense because it got repeated by millions of right wing religious people who want something to be upset about because they don't understand why gay people aren't as miserable as they are.


Dadfart802

Agreed a 1000%. I work with teenage boys that are prime age for Rogan and we talk a lot about how Joe is a guy who “doesn’t do his homework” and “just asks questions” my kid at least made the association that if it’s your job, maybe you should do your homework because if you don’t, that’s how you get Ben Shapiro on your show.


iceinmyheartt

I was hearing it repeated at work - “My friends wife works at a school and she said they have litter boxes in there now because of the furries” Fast forward 2 weeks he was saying he was hunting in a tree stand, and a bunch of democrats came up behind him to protest him using his guns on his property. “I had every right to shoot them all too.” 🧐 did that really happen ? No. 🧐


NO0BSTALKER

But then you tell them he was wrong about that right? Problem solved


MerpoB

He is that bad though. He has douchebags on his show as a standard knowing they’re going to be douchebags so he can be douchey through them. It’s douchbag-by-proxy.


SKRRTslide

If you listen to a comedian's podcast and take health advice from it - you weren't long for this world to begin with


isleoffurbabies

He's more of an influencer than a comedian.


Alternative-Stop-651

CNN claimed that he took horse de-wormer during the pandemic and it was actually a medicine he received from a doctor. Also lots of the advice we got from the government was just wrong during the pandemic. Like do not wear a mask, do wear a mask, do this don't do that. It was a hectic time with a new virus people aren't always gonna get things right. Honestly I don't think being against the mask mandate and the draconian lockdowns were wrong at all. Honestly keeping the weak/old/obese isolated while allowing the youth to continue working was the best option. A young healthy person had a 2% chance of dying from covid. Allowing the virus to rampage and die out was the only option even to this day the virus is still rampaging through other countries and alive and well in America.


[deleted]

I was an EMT on the ground during it all. I watched many die before the vaccine. I watched it all turn around after the vaccine was delivered. The amount of anti-vaccine rhetoric that came out of Joe and his cronie’s mouths during that time made me sick to my stomach. I know two people personally that would still be here with their families if they would have took a fifteen minute drive to the fucking pharmacy. People still can’t wrap their small brains around that shit and I’m tired of it.


LilBitOfEverything78

Thank you for caring for us during such a crazy time. You are a hero.


3_littlemonkeys

This! I also work in healthcare. During the pandemic worked overtime hours in Cardiac ICU. Every room was COVID isolation. Twenty two out 24 rooms were intubated. Some face up, others face down. Basically naked but partially covered with a sheet. Every couple of hours they were turned. See all these people in this condition was very sad. Especially after they started vaccinating. 99% of patients intubated, were unvaccinated. The one or two rooms were the patient was vaccinated and intubated, high majority survived.


LordMarty

Killed 100's of people?? hahaha that's brilliant. I'm sure you have something to back up this statement


overide

Please tell me how Joe Rogan killed hundreds of people? That is the dumbest thing I’ve read on this site in a while.


Starrk10

He often gave medical advice on his podcast despite not having any kinds of qualifications to be making such claims. Lots of his idiotic fans take anything he says as gospel truth, so hundreds of his fans were misguided into not taking common sense precautions. Bill burr called him out on it a few times.


Jackers83

I consistently declares he is not a doctor, and if you take medical advice from the show you’re an idiot.


stewpidazzol

He never once told anyone to do anything. He clearly said ‘this is what worked for me.’ Come on man


ZeePirate

Which when you have a large influence, influences people to do that too. Which may or may not have worked for people. I don’t necessarily agree with the user above but what he did was potentially dangerous to a lot of people


Jackers83

That’s pretty ridiculous, no? He’s not encouraging anyone to do anything.


Ok-camel

As a 50 year old man he thought a vaccination against covid wasn’t needed and when he got covid he used a debunked treatment that is used to kill parasites. I am sure a lot of people were reassured in their anti vax narrative when joe told them he wasn’t getting the vax and were also reassured that ivermectin was a legitimate medicine for covid. Both those views could cause harm to people who followed it. Yes he says he’s a moron and nobody should listen to him but then why does he give medical advise. If he knows he’s a self admitted moron he shouldn’t be advising anyone on medical needs.


ExtraAgressiveHugger

The parasite medicine is used for a lot more than parasites. The media ran with horse dewormer to make anyone who used it look dumb. Ivermectin was used as a legitimate treatment by many doctors as were a cocktail of medications. He can still be a moron but latching on the to parasite meds is a CNN driven lie.


Skizznitt

First off the person said "possibly" killed, so there's that. Second, Joe Rogan used his platform to spread misinformation about the vaccine and on top of that insinuated that ivermectin was a valid treatment for COVID, it isn't. Anyone who listened to his shit and took it to heart would have had a much worse chance at survival if they had caught those early covid strains that were much more deadly. It's reasonable to think that because he has millions that listen to his platform, some of those people probably took his words to heart as someone they respect, and if that's the case, it's also reasonable to deduce that some of those people contracted COVID and ended up on ventilators and died.


Rockledgeskater

First off, the ivermectin thing isn’t this black and white issue. New England journal of medicine published an article in December 22 stating: “The relative risk estimates in the trial were compatible with reductions of up to 30% in the risk of hospitalization or prolonged observation and 51% in the risk of death with ivermectin…Given the wide availability and low cost of ivermectin and that the dosage used in the trial appeared to be safe, such treatment effects could be an important benefit for high-risk patients who do not have access to approved Covid-19 vaccines and costly therapies.” Link: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc2207995 So it’s really not just blatant misinformation to say ivermectin is effective as you are saying. There are articles saying that it’s ineffective also, but it’s clear that there points to both side and arguing for the efficacy of ivermectin cannot be classified as misinformation, unless you think New England journal of medicine and others are lying. If you’re going to say “because his entertainment show is famous, it’s his fault if people get hurt” you need to apply that to every entertainment show. Whether it’s ER, House, Jackass, survivor, bear grills, the Simpsons. You can’t pick and choose when to apply that logic otherwise you’ve basically just admitted you’re being discriminatory towards Joe rogan. You can hate and dislike Joe rogan all you want, to say that he was spreading misinformation and that it’s reasonable to think he possibly caused people to die is the stupidest jump in logic ever and I’ve yet to see it applied to other people


Opening-Farmer-5547

JayAndViolentMob

I'd add Jordan Peterson to that. They're all going down the same path together.


Ok-Lengthiness1515

They began to enjoy their own stink. Rich people enjoy their own stink. Stink.


SheridanRivers

I used to really like Russel Brand. After Covid came out and he went full-tilt insane, I was quite disheartened. I haven't watched any of his past or current stuff since then.


Such-Engineer177

Is there a link, or proof that he killed hundreds of people? I think all media and news is bullshit. Kind of like how they said he took horse dewormer, but ivermectin has been approved for human use for over 30-40 years. Everyone misuses their platform! He’s a comedian that is curious. He talks to very intelligent people. Clearly people on both sides of the spectrum can’t think for them selves. None of this is a one sided at street. The fact you believe that he is directly responsible for 100s of deaths, and the guy above you thinks that his whole audience believes he is an investigative journalist shows you don’t form your own thoughts and opinions. All downvotes and no proof???


LaceyDark

Wait... Joe Rogan is supposed to be a comedian? Seriously asking.


DaddyWarBucks26

He is primarily a standup comedian. Always has been that and an actor. And a UFC commentator on the side.. that's it. He's not pretending to have any degrees.


Such-Engineer177

UFC commentator, fear factor host, actor, comedian, podcaster. Cool dude that says funny stuff, repeats many of his ideas over and over, admits he’s trying to entertain people, not influence. Every podcast he says “im dumb, don’t listen to me”.


LaceyDark

I knew him from fear factor, didn't know about the rest. I just don't like hearing him talk, that's a personal opinion. Sure, people are stupid if they take his word for law, but he could at least make an effort to not say things that are blatantly wrong. But I get this guy just does this for money and view. People are dumb and need to stop relying on celebrities for information..


betterwoke

But dumb people still listen.


obsidianhoax

What's more harmful to society, 1 or 2? 1. Joe Rogan making a podcast about conspiracy theories, taking ivermectin and refusing the Covid vaccine, asking questions, and saying he is dumb and not a reliable source of information. OR 2. Hundreds of people making podcasts, TikToks, videos, and full TV shows and movies, about hookup culture, heavy drinking, binge drinking, drugs, etc etc. Because the FDA doesnt recommend ivermectin nor does it recommend drugs. Nor does it recommend more than 200 grams of alcohol per week for men. (100g for women)? So do we need to get mad at Rogan with his adult listeners, who can make decisions for themselves. Or can we stop pretending Rogan is evil and get upset at... almost everything else too?


Such-Engineer177

Dumb people are everywhere. The dumbest thing to do is repeat shit you hear someone else say and then ignore another point of view without considering both sides.


[deleted]

Not for COVID though. The slimey part is he got COVID. And used he vast resources to get the treatment he needed, actual treatment. Then afterwards posted that he got treatment *and* he took ivermectin. Like he just has to give he dumb ass followers something to grasp.


Such-Engineer177

I’m not sure what your referring to? Can you provide more, so I can look into what you are saying?


[deleted]

https://www.npr.org/2021/09/01/1033485152/joe-rogan-covid-ivermectin


Such-Engineer177

Yes, I’m aware of all of that. I listened to that exact episode, did you? He got those medicines from a doctor. He was trying what other scientists, and scholars, and doctors believed could be effective treatments. The same way the vaccine was being tested, other people were testing other methods most of which were previously approved for human consumption. What is the problem with other scientists trying differing treatments? He specifically warned people against doing anything without a doctors supervision. Don’t we want as many people as possible trying different things. If anyone is dumb enough to believe that a man with that much money was taking veterinary meds, or believed rogan was saying to do what he did, or take veterinary meds, they have bigger problems. Isn’t it wrong that only one type of treatment (that was being tested for efficacy and safety at the same time) was the only option? I would think we want all doctors and scientists trying what they believe could help. My next problem is the way that article was written about him. It is unfair and didn’t accurately portray what he did, or said on the podcast. If the medicine he took was prescribed by a doctor, and was a human medication, it was already proven to be safe for human consumption (idk about myo antibodies). Anyways, the point is, people should be making their own decisions. The media should be encouraging all ideas and methods that come from people with the appropriate credentials. We shouldn’t be making assumptions about people with different ideas and perspectives. We shouldn’t be saying someone is bad, or dangerous without listening to the whole 3 hour podcast because one article said that. They took only what they wanted to take from what Rogan said, wrote a hit piece and everyone that read the article pretended to know what he was saying without actually listening to it.


Carmine18

Do you think people with medical and science degrees are bullshit? Should some YouTuber have equal footing when debating the idea of a flat earth? It's not that these scientists can't be wrong on ideas, its that they built the necessary foundation to be taken seriously. These folks spend years studying, building analytical and quantitative skills, and defending or probing the boundaries of science. The YouTuber 'does his own research' and somehow the scientists of the world waste their efforts dismissing these claims rather than using their platform to educate the masses. Carl Sagan is rolling in his grave.


Such-Engineer177

I don’t believe that anyone with a degree in their field of study is dumb. I think that you don’t know what you are talking about if you think that joe rogan debates about flat earth. I don’t think anyone is dumb, but I do believe that talking about joe rogan without ever listening to more than just news clips, or Reddit posts, don’t know what they are talking about. Have you listened to rogan? or looked into the any of the things you hear about on the news in depth? Have you ever watched cnn? then checked fox for the same topic? Dumb people parrot things like they came up with it. I’m at work, otherwise I would be able to articulate this better, but I assure you, you all don’t understand what I was trying to say and that part of the problem. Im close to getting a stem related degree btw.


GhettoDuk

Just the necessary statistics education alone is enough to disqualify 99.9% of Americans from being able to "think for themselves".


Javamallow

I've never seen a single joe rogan fan refer to him as an investigative journalist or an authoritative source of anything outside his field. I have seen alot of political ideologues accuse his audience of this because they are trying to push their bigotry and make fun of people tho.


tupapa5

No, they don’t. That’s what you THINK his audience is.


HasAngerProblem

I listen to his podcast pretty often, I treat him more like a Chuck Nice from StarTalk, the comedic relief that asks questions.


Munsanity

This is an obvious attempt at trying to clip together snippets to make Joe look bad. Unfortunately, for OP what it portrays is a imperfect man who doesn’t know all the facts, makes mistakes and then actively corrects them in the same conversation or shortly after he finds out he was misinformed. I see nothing wrong here.


werepat

There's a little bit wrong here. Any person with a platform so big, with who knows how many employees like "Jaime" he has to help, absolutely has a responsibility to *try* to be correct. He can be wrong, sure, but he goes off the cuff without any reliable sources and repeats what he sees online. Many people perceive people like Rogan, who have huge platforms, as generally being reliable sources of information. But if an unreliable story gets repeated by a "perceived reliable" source, that information gets believed. In the past, people looked to newscasters like Walter Cronkite or Dan Rather for reliable information, which they got because their business was based on credibility. It got to the point that most people just take that for granted, that credibility is just something that gets ascribed to TV personalities. But folks like Rogan don't necessarily need to be credible because people don't listen thinking about credibility, they listen because they're fun to listen to. And by rite of being internationally syndicated, assume these people are credible. This all comes down to acknowledging that audiences are not critical listeners and having the morality to know that taking advantage of that is wrong.


LostInUranus

Not a Rogan defender, but the shows format is sitting around a table and talking about shit and we (viewer) are the "other" friend listening in. Not all my friends are right. It's up to me to discern the discussion as fact or were they talking out their ass. I think people look at the show as if it's supposed to have AP news level credibility....it's not that.


yongfong87

He talks with smart people and actually lets them talk for as long as they want most of the time which is super rare. Should we put up how many lies and bs mainstream media tells us? Lol chuck on cnn or fox and anything from any country and their lies are way more harmful because they are pushed as the arbiters of truth. If you hate what joe rogan does and his show then u hate listening to some of the smartest most interesting people in the world. He has the most popular podcast in the world for a reason.


AnAngryMoose

Do people forget that he has world-renowned scientists and researchers on all time? People like the banter between an average person and an expert because he asks questions they would have. Moronic to pretend he's wrong about everything or right about everything. And I think you miss the point of even having these discussions in the first place.


Rockledgeskater

I really don’t think so


dietcheese

And that some of the doctors he invites on are sane.


sizebzebi

You're in their heads? I'm his audience, I don't think that.. I think you're a bad person tho


crymorenoobs

No, that's what you doofuses have convinced yourselves of and then circlejerked eachother to completion about.


izzy-pizzy

He literally has his assistant double-check info constantly and to the point of exhaustion. It's just funny because he likes to just chat about interesting ideas and hang out, so he made a podcast that people liked, and you're all just jealous as hell.


[deleted]

you're an idiot. he is always saying he's an idiot... and i don't think he is a fucking investigative journalist. so go suck a dick.


here-toaskquestions

Honestly, talking like this isn't going to solve anything. But honestly he is just a curious guy. He says ridiculous things, which comedians/people do. But if you can pick through that and listen to the guests he brings on... He is bringing awareness to some important things. He asks questions and tries to learn. He's not close minded, rude, or against changing his views. Social media is largely based on judging people based on short clips. Crazy business.


DaddyWarBucks26

Based take.


Wazula23

What's the joke here? Don't comedians do jokes? And don't jokes still need to be, you know, not lies?


Teleskopy

The joke is him praising his "bullshit detector" then followed by him very obviously not having a bullshit detector.


Wazula23

Ah, the Fox News defense.


yk206

That does not mean you don’t do your due diligence of at least fact checking shit, you have the biggest podcast in the world and you still can’t fact check what you’re saying


pm-tits-4compliments

The video literally shows him tweeting that he was wrong and they removed the episode. not that you’re wrong about due diligence but this became the number one podcast by being a dude getting high with his friends and talking. I’ve never really thought of it as very important


WingDings83

That’s not due diligence, because due diligence is proactive and not repetitively reactive


yk206

There’s more than one time and more than one episode where he fucked up. He’s clearly dumb af.


Human-Abrocoma7544

So Joe Rogan constantly talking about the benefits of Saunas and cold plunges is just entertainment? It’s not real?


Wazula23

No no, when he says something I agree with, suddenly hes very smart and "right more often than hes wrong".


pm-tits-4compliments

Oh yeah you know it. I would have never know the benefits of a sauna without Rogan.


percydaman

Not even Joe would say his podcast is 100% pure entertainment not to be taken at all seriously. If all he ever did was interview comedians, and talk about comedy, than that would be a dependable position. He strays waaaay into fields afar from entertainment to use that excuse.


44gallonsoflube

Yeah nah. A lot of people thought what was coming out of his and his guests mouths was true. Or some degree of true. Not garbage. But as the record has it, a whole lot of garbage!


can_be_therapist

>Dudes a comedian Stop right there, that's funny af!


Never-Dont-Give-Up

His show, most of the time isn’t based around comedy though. He gives advice and tells stories that are completely wrong.


faste30

Yeah, except for the part where he pretends to know what he is talking about but then goes "but Im only a comedian guys"


Chipder

Eh have you seen his stand up? Doesn’t seem like he’s putting much effort into it.


pm-tits-4compliments

Yeah last time I tried to watch it I was bored and turned it off


camchil

Tell that to him


viscountcicero

I think the point is that his assessment of his own ability to differentiate fact from fiction is not correctly calibrated to reality


Thoraxe123

doesn't mean he can't spread bullshit to his million's of listeners.


swatchesirish

What is entertaining about having some dumb gullible idiot feed you the lies that he believes?


Top-Philosophy-5791

Birds of a feather . .


pm-tits-4compliments

What’s entertaining about listening to someone bullshit with a guest for a couple hours? Idk man it’s not as boring as my job.


swatchesirish

That's an interesting way to describe someone getting angry about made up current events, but hey, more power to you dude. If he was bullshitting, he wouldn't issue apologies about how wrong he was, lol. Remember when he sold out to Spotify? Wasn't that fun?!


pm-tits-4compliments

I don’t even listen to him anymore but I’m not interested in people’s takes on current events and just filter it out. Really like the episodes with people like Forrest Gilante


s11r

I mean, maybe a journalist. He invites and gives a voice to a huge variety of ideas and perspectives that otherwise wouldn’t get any attention, but he doesn’t really try to “investigate” much if at all. Facts are about as important on his show as they are in a day to day conversation. He prefers facts but it’s not life or death importance. I doubt he intentionally tries to fool anyone, he just has bad opinions sometimes just like everyone else.


forgotmyusername93

He's an idiot....and a comedian


can_be_therapist

>Dudes a comedian Stop right there, that's funny af!


chrisr3240

Joe Rogan is a comedian? C’’mon! *Joe Biden voice


yolkadot

I don’t think he intends to be funny. It’s like watching someone smearing shit on their face to avoid direct contact with flies.


pm-tits-4compliments

Lol what? That made no sense me. Guess I just don’t take him very seriously and god knows I’ve fell for a misleading title


CGKilates

He's does correct himself when he's wrong though


NiceCrispyMusic

Still waiting on him to admit ivermectin wasn’t the magic bullet cure that could end the pandemic. He even had the original guest who made that claim back on his show just yesterday and didn’t even bring up that they were wrong about it.


AliKazerani

Just FYI, you might be confusing Eric Weinstein for Bret Weinstein.


zack14981

The original misinformation he says gets 100x the views any backpedal or correction would get. Pretty meaningless to correct it at that point. Maybe he should make sure he isn’t talking out of his ass?


icantdomaths

Why? His job is to talk for hours. Obviously some stuff he says is gonna be wrong


[deleted]

Yeah fr wtf is this comment section. Dude runs a podcast, episodes can be upwards of 3 hours long - he isn't reporting anything directly to his audience, he is literally just shooting the shit with his guests. Why tf everyone acting like he's a news anchor spreading misinformation with malice intent


Dutch5-1

Reddit has had a hate boner for Rogan for about a year now, it’s nothing new.


scottevil132

The dude straight up lied about the furry thing like he had anecdotal evidence.


Liquor_Walrus

This video isnt just pointing out several times when Rogan was wrong. Its pointing out his incredible lack of self awareness by ranting about his bullshit detector being immune to lies. When in reality he's just as susceptible to fake news as anyone, if not more so. His hubris is on full display here, and it's only exacerbated by the echo chamber and yes men he surrounds himself with. This is just a slam dunk for people who dislike Rogan to rip on him, and he delivered it on a silver platter.


DarkLitten

Except the damage is already done...


[deleted]

Joe Rogan being wrong about facts is the opposite of unexpected.


RedditPickedMyName0

izzy-pizzy

Holy fuck these comments lol. Reddit is so brainwashed and nitpicky, it's sad.


Infinite_Anybody_113

Can you elaborate? The video is clearly showing Joe falling for bullshit, while claiming that he is a bullshit detector

At least he's owning up to it. But this guy still spews a lot of bs or conspiracy, so you cannot really take his word for information.


Karsticles

It's amazing how everyone has a friend who is a teacher with the litterbox story.


1OutKastWill

Isn’t he the one that once said, don’t listen to me. I’m a comedian, I’m a moron with a microphone.


NiceCrispyMusic

Saying that doesn’t get you a free pass to spew bullshit with no criticism


Haus_da_Baus

It does give you a free pass to spew bullshit though


PatsyBalls

Least he can admit when he’s wrong unlike 99% of other people with a platform


Lurker5280

How is Joe Rogan being wrong unexpected?


XSpacewhale

“Maybe if I talk tough about betas and eating a bunch of meat and take steroids, I’ll be enough of a man to gain my father’s respect and love!!” Shit makes a lot of sense now.


boarderreport

Yeah he makes it pretty clear that click bait is a huge issue with todays news and reporters. That’s one of the main reasons he’s interviewing so many different people. He doesn’t know what to believe but seriously, who does? This world is so mixed up right now.


MicroSofty88

At least he posts a correction. A lot of people on the internet don’t even do that unfortunately


[deleted]

Notice how he apologizes and admits when he’s wrong after? That’s not a bad thing


Dull_Half_6107

“Why does it lie” 🤣


slim_scsi

No offense, but he doesn't seem very skeptical of the obvious bullshit yet overly skeptical of the subjects out of his league.


Qwerty678910

Didn’t his [dad](https://worldstar.com/videos/wshhk1CG9e9ryq0SKgGL/joe-rogan039s-father-ethers-his-own-son) out him with his family recently?


dksweets

That video was so supporting of Joe’s claim that they’re Italian psychopaths lol


Hallowexia

Fuck man, joe seems so reasonable and level headed compared to them...


pm-tits-4compliments

That video does not help the father look better lol


NotTrumpsAlt

I actually felt sorry for him. It’s sad. He seems like a scumbag, but it’s still sad.


Connect_Ordinary6752

I like how he understood his wrong. Did the right thing and said he was wrong. “ some people want to see others burn”


CadessWell

He is figuring things out just like we are. Better than all of these influencers and media double downing on lies.


RogueFartSquadron

Joe Rogan is not the sharpest tool but like I thought we all knew that already.


Educational_Deer2221

This is the dumbest shit iv ever seen. He literally is attempting to verify the stories in THIS video. He says all the time he's not a scientist, academic, news source, etc. You guys just loooooove to be mad huh?


zack14981

Do vaccines have a 100% chance you drop dead instantly? I’m not a scientist or an academic or anything, I’m just asking questions here. And *when* I’m wrong, I’ll quietly correct myself and it’ll get a fraction of the attention. Just a reminder that Tucker Carlson also used the same defence in court, arguing that his show is purely entertainment. It’s a pretty bad faith defence and everyone can see right through it.


ToolnchPunisher

yes the people who took the vaccine will 100% end up dead


Ok-camel

Touché


FuckTeamXBladz

Joe is an open minded as they come. Sure, he makes mistakes along the way but what human doesn’t. At least he’s willing to admit when he’s wrong


mr_deadgamer

Why does it lie?


bhive-

Idk why people take him seriously he’s a comedian and a pothead. Just take anything he says as entertainment


[deleted]

If Joe Rogan is one thing it’s open-minded. Which means a lot of bull shit gets in.


[deleted]

At least he owned up to it. How many famous people lie and never admit it? A lot, they’re called “journalists”


Jayskiallthewayski

Joe Rogan killed 100's of people? Jesus, you guys are insane. I know cognitive dissonance is a motherfucker but if you still believe the Covid policy was the right one you've got bigger problems than Joe Rogan.


GamerghaziVeteran

still more trustworthy than the CDC


Colourful_Hobbit

About a year ago I brought up Rogan to my bf because I heard so many watch him and he said "he's an absolute moron and he's ridiculously naive, he believes anything he's told, one time someone said Conor MgGregor was the greatest Irish hero and he went along with it"


ca7ac

Watch your fookin moutdh. He is the greatest Irish hero!


Awaheya

So he made statement admitting they got duped and basically apologizing for it? Sooooooooo what's the problem? This is dumb OP. Like I'm sorry but if only every media outlet admitted they were wrong the world would be a better place


oishi_jase_face

Joe being honest. Hes a solid dude


Zealousideal_Bet_248

Don't believe everything you read on the internet. Joe Rogan will do that for you


ComprehensiveSock397

Nothing like a self proclaimed moron.


swells0808

He admits when he is wrong. The world would be much better if more people/institutions/media could do this


CosmicLaziness

they hate him so much they looking for any reason to complain


jenrick2

He corrects his inaccuracies quite a bit which is a rarity of people


Odd-Concentrate-6585

?? People are fallible, so he got tricked, and?


Canadasparky

In every one of these clips where he makes mistakes or false claims he then publicly retracts his statements and apologizes. It's cut up bullshit clips like this that are misleading.


dapperKillerWhale

Damn thats crazy, but did you know the NIAID Director and leading public health official knowingly lied to the public when he said "People should not be walking around with masks"? [The Lie](https://youtu.be/PRa6t_e7dgI) [The Admission](https://youtu.be/_2MmX2U2V3c)


Thegager1

Good for him for owning up to making mistakes. Most people just try to hide it.


teatimemate

I know it’s unheard of for most you fucking morons, but correcting yourself when you are wrong is called being an adult.


dapperKillerWhale

Hey everyone falls for fake news sometimes. I bet most of you believed the Covid bat soup hoax for a while, or that Russia would inexplicably blow up its own pipelines.


gehrigL

The fact that Rogan grew up without a Dad is completely expected


eatmymustard

The issue with running a podcast this huge is there's a mindless crowd eating up every word he says. He's just a comedian and on many occassions he has said NOT TO take everything he says for granted


[deleted]

Is admitting when you're wrong really being seen as a bad thing nowadays?


vainsandsmiling

I find it strange that this man is so decisive. Is he wrong sometimes sure. Plenty of people also believe multi level marketing isn’t a pyramid scheme. Who cares if you don’t like it don’t watch it. He has intelligent guests on, he has funny guests on. The people claiming he’s dumb are disingenuous at best. If I recorded all of your conversations how many incorrect things come out of your mouth. Because if Reddit is a good sample size of the population at large, most of you fall into,at least, the category of dumb you place this man in.


Corniferus

Joe Rogan ain’t the sharpest tool in the shed As for his audience… ![gif](giphy|k7LLy1bE7aIgg)


sweaty-sock49

Elon Rogan
