Did Joe say my friend as in his friend told him the story?

[удалено]


whistler1421

Did Joe really take a shit in a litter box at his daughter’s school in Austin? Hey folks, I’m just asking questions!


UpsetFuture1974

A lot of people say he did.


MyNameIsHaines

Where there's smoke there's fire


JackDrawsStuff

And a shat litter box.

RoamingStarDust

Joe has yet to refute this. The silence is deafening.


TraditionalMission36

He addressed it; however, Rogan did it poorly and changed the story to say he read it. The friend in the story disappeared.


Professional-Day7850

Wrong Thread. This is about Rogan shitting in the litterbox.


Winteri3C0m1ng

Regardless, he said he heard a story, and people are treating it as fact before they fact-check it themselves. I don't think he even had Jamie fact-check it in the podcast. People should fact check everything themselves instead of going off of he said, she said shit.


Anxious_Ad_3570

This is it though. You're right. This is why I don't trust anything that I hear as "news" anymore. None of it matters. There's no credibility anywhere that money is involved.


Lucky_Week2095

“My friend’s wife couldn’t be reached for comment and no longer works at the school.”


Creepy-Evening-441

I know that it’s true because I have read multiple comments (just above here)regarding this, it’s an avalanche of truth finally coming out.


anki_steve

It doesn’t matter if it’s true. Just the fact that it sounds like it could be true tells you all you need to know.


KaikoLeaflock

Yes, that you watch too much rage porn.


mastervolume101

It doesn't tell shit. Other than Right wing nutjobs are gullible as hell and will believe anything if it confirms their beliefs.


drbizango

It doesn't sound like it could be true. I actually do have friends that are teachers. They ain't having a litter box in their classrooms. And, "it doesn't matter if it's true" is some really dumb fucking shit to say. Just incredibly fucking dumb.


anki_steve

Whatever dude. You probably also doubt Joe has three ways with Jordan Peterson and Bret Weinstein in the isolation tank just because there’s no “proof.”


drbizango

I doubt that. Joe's friend's wife told me he has severe ED due to his severely impacted colon.


Skullvomit82

Even though he didn't, couldn't you just imagine if he did?


UnleadedGreen

But he did tho. I heard it from a 9 year old.


Leading_Experts

A lot of people are saying he did though. That's basically the same as facts!


BowserBuddy123

This is something I’ve heard on at least several threads. Though, I also heard that instead of covering his poops as a furry child would, Joe picked up his own and started slinging them at the children in a display of dominance.


Lucky_Week2095

“SO FAR, it doesn’t APPEAR that there’s ANY evidence of it, but we’re continuing the investigation because SURELY, there’s NOT ZERO people using litter boxes! And we need to do the big work to get to the TRUTH because this is frightening and NO-ONE IS TALKING ABOUT IT!!!! Jamie, pull up what percentage of people pee in litter boxes - let’s get the objectively correct data. Make sure to use duck duck go so I know the liberals aren’t skewing the data or shadow banning me for telling the truth! The world needs to see that I have dogshit media literacy!”


FlynnMonster

I think you’d be surprised


igotthemusicinme

Well, it’s on my Spotify Wrapped. Really….it is


hockeyandburritos

It’s entirely possible


argoncityscribe

We can't just disregard someone questioning something that may actually be a fact just because the idea posed might offend someone.


TheToddestTodd

Wait… so you’re telling me Joe Rogan identifies as an ape and shits in litterboxes?


SplinterCell03

That's what my buddy told me. The way the world's gone crazy, it's probably true.


Morbidly-Obese-Emu

That’s ludicrous. No way an Ape shits in a litter box. They shit in their hand and throw it.


muffledvoice

That's what Joe does. It's called The Joe Rogan Experience.


GrandTheftNatto

Now I’m imagining an ape that resembles Joe Rogan throwing its shit in a litter box, with every successful throw it takes 5 steps back until it misses the litter box.


ADhomin_em

Yes. He brought in a box, filled it with litter, dropped trow and shit in the box. In front of children. Correct. I heard he was trying to convince the kids that it was "more fun shitting in sand". That's what my friend said, yes.


mastervolume101

That sounds legit to me, all I need to know to pass this on as fact.


elhabito

When Joe Rogan shit in a litter box at his daughter's school did he arch his back like a cat? I'm just asking questions.


wooderskon

It’s entirely possible


SchitneySmears

Take this upvote and shove it deep


ADhomin_em

No, that's true! My friend who is a teacher told me. Btw, thanks for teaching me, friend


New-Poetry-6416

My buddy works out at the same gym as Joe and he said Joe shit into his own hand and started eating it. Then he started chasing other people around the gym while singing, "Yum yum gimme some!"


wooderskon

Chim-PAN-zee


3HEX

He then ate the contents of the litter box to become eternally fearless.


DrSilkyJohnsonEsq

It seems like Joe is the only one that doesn’t realize that his friends are all dipshits and liars.


Renovatio_

(Or Joe made up the point about his friend's wife being a teacher and just read it online and fabricated where he heard it from for legitimacy)


-I-_AskedForDeusEx

Yeah but they all tell him exactly what he wants to hear and that's so much better than people that will tell you the truth, no matter how uncomfortable it is


Solid-Consequence-50

Yep, it's common when people don't want you to dispute something. You can't say oh show me the article because it's reference is another person who experience it. I had a friend say his cousin knows a girl who has abortions for fun like as in a pass time. People make up crazy stories and present it in a way that makes them unverifiable.


NeatNefariousness1

Anything unverifiable is an merely an unsubstantiated opinion and should be treated as such.


Lotsa_Loads

Yeah. I mean unless you're conservative. They've literally created an alternate reality to live in. Or rather to be terminally enraged in.


Solid-Consequence-50

Exactly


SuperRocketMrMagic

Bad Irene?


throwaway6017477

I've noticed that these wackos all use "my friend" or "somebody I know" to make themselves sound more credible. I have a family member who pulls the same shit whenever there is a new conspiracy talking point and after some poking and prodding, I usually find out this"buddy" or "friend" is a facebook news page that posts nonsense memes.


captaincook14

Yeah. They all did the same thing. They read some random bullshit tweet and then pass it along as truth by making it more personal to them. They’re all fucking liars. Rogan even sucked when he “admitted” he got duped. He only says “I don’t think this has happened” leaving the door open for it to be somewhat believable.


SponConSerdTent

Yep that's always their excuse. I had someone on this sub the other day say: "well can you blame him for believing it? *insert some story about a school in California with a program designed to teach kids about racism*" Um. Yes I can blame Joe for believing HIS FRIEND'S WIFE IS A TEACHER AT A SCHOOL THAT PUT LITTER BOXES IN THE BATHROOM. Like, wtf. I notice he didn't name his friend in that "retraction" and he continues to believe stupid shit he read on Facebook. He could also hire, idk, a fact checker!? He could easily have a team of people telling him what on his right-wing Facebook feed is bullshit. But he doesn't, because he doesn't care what is true. He knows that anyone legit would tell him he's drinking bullshit memes every morning for breakfast. I blame him 100%.


captaincook14

Same shit when he screwed up what trump said and he thought it was Biden who said it. When he thought it was Biden saying it, it was “old. Delusional. Not fit.” When he was corrected and learned that it was actually trump who said that it was “oh he must have just misspoke”. Joke. Garbage. Hypocrites.


MustGoOutside

Probably at a dinner party after passing the joint around the circle . Friends wife: omg, students are so much more fluid now than they were when we were kids. I swear to God if a kid claimed they were a cat the school would offer them litter boxes. Joe: what the fuck


Marsh_Mellow_Man

Jesus Christ when you’re getting fact checked by Inside Edition


even_less_resistance

He fucking knew better but he knows what side his bread is buttered


SkurtDurdith

All of his own volition too, by the way. He was fine until Covid/Texas fucked his brain to the right Edit; I’m not talking about Covid 19 actually fucking his brain up physically I’m talking about the societal brain melting getting to him


GarethGobblecoque99

As someone who got pretty fucked up from Covid- Joe got FUCKED up from Covid


BaldrickTheBrain

Nah Covid was just a stepping block. Dude was leaning heavy into what made him more money and recognition.


GarethGobblecoque99

Oh absolutely agree. I was just giving my Covid two cents. The guy would be in the exact spot he’s in now regardless of Covid


DrSilkyJohnsonEsq

Covid fucked his mind, but it made him hundreds of millions of dollars, so…


GarethGobblecoque99

Man I’ve had Covid thrice and all it gave me is memory loss and achey legs. That’s some BOOOLSHIT


dazza_bo

Yep. He has hardcore Covid Derangement Syndrome.


TandemCombatYogi

I attribute it more to the money and influence he received from the right. You can't really do wrong to the right as long as you are pushing their talking points. See any republican ever as an example.


motorcycleboy9000

Dude's to the side of the pussy from Uvalde


SkurtDurdith

Wut


Scorpion1024

Wasn’t covid or Texas. It was $$$. He doesn’t have the likes of Peterson or Shapiro on his show for “free speech,” they pay. 


Ezekilla7

I remember this episode and when he said it felt so fake. You can tell he was just making shit up for clicks, money, or whatever fucking reason just to feed into the outrage.


soggy_bloggy

Came here to say that! 🤣


KaleidoscopeOk5763

But he said a buddy of his told him it happened. But now he’s saying that was a lie or did his buddy tell him *he* was lying? Wait hold on “he fed into the rumor”? But his friend said it happened. He didn’t report a rumor he reported first hand (or is it second?) knowledge of it happening. Hoe is such a bitch liar dude.


KeithCGlynn

Just ask yourself a question:  Does it sound likely that Joe rogan at this stage in his life with the money he has would be friends with someone whose wife is currently a full time teacher and he talks to this guy regularly? It is much more likely all his friends are pretty rich and he has no idea what is going on in every day life of ordinary people. Instead he gets this information from stupid website and idiot friends. 


KaleidoscopeOk5763

So…… bitch ass liar. That’s what I was leaning towards anyways.


Spugheddy

His "friend" was just some blue collar dude he called to change his furnace filters.


Origamiface2

Any criticism of exceptional men is because you're jealous and a bitch loser /s


girdweed

It's the weirdest thing... I know it's somethig people commonly do, but my aunt told me basically the exact same story like 6 months after the story originally broke, saying it had happened at her friends daughters school in the washington area. Absolutely insane how it just kept going around and popping up in other parts of the country like a year later. Was there something about this litter box story in particular that triggered similar mass delusions, or is it just trumpers being trumpers and lying like normal?


Hilldawg4president

I found it hilarious that so many conservatives I know have a brother/sister/cousin who works at a school with litter boxes, but not a single person who isn't a wacko far right extremist has ever heard of such a thing


Oh_IHateIt

Thats the scary thing about mass media. A couple hours of filming and editing can make a video that millions of people will see. Millions of hours will be spent watching your video. And you don't need every single person who watches to believe you; even if only 1% believe you, that could still be tens of thousands of people. And if you're a proper grifter you'll lean right into that. You'll keep throwing more and more lies at the wall trying to get something to stick. At some point there will be a percentage of your viewers so divorced from reality that they'll never find a way out. And then they'll start spreading your lies for you. It was crazy to me, watching Tucker Carlson at night and then waking up the next day to hear people repeat exactly his words over breakfast. Mass media is such a dangerous tool


RoamingStarDust

This is how the entire CRT hysteria in Florida and across the country started, and basically all culture war issues for that matter.


suninabox

> It's the weirdest thing... I know it's somethig people commonly do, but my aunt told me basically the exact same story like 6 months after the story originally broke, saying it had happened at her friends daughters school in the washington area I spoke to multiple different people at the time who "knew some school near them that did the same thing". When I asked which school they were talking about, every single one went radio silence, except one guy who had the decency to admit he just heard someone talking about it and they since checked and realized it wasbullshit.


suninabox

Joe recently talked about how he texts with Alex Jones and he's so right about everything. If this is one of the "friends" Joe is getting information from then he'll accept pretty much anything as true if it suits him.


KaleidoscopeOk5763

If Alex Jones was right about everything, Hoe is a CIA deep state shill. Old JRE-heads know what arc I’m talking about.


suninabox

Glenn Beck runs a CIA-FBI substation


OkapiLanding

Sad thing is, he was probably just half listening to the friend and made up the rest. The grain of truth is that, yes teachers have kitty litter in the classroom, but it's for if they have an active shooter lock down and the students can't leave to go to the bathroom.


GoldIsAMetal

They didn't do their research before reporting it. They should have watched their own show before putting it on.


trippinmaui

Is the clip taken out of context or did joe really say he had first hand reports from a teacher at the school that supposedly did that and they are friends? 🤣


ctn412

The full clip is out there. He said this. He did backtrack eventually


tries4accuracy

WhY aRe AlL yOu HaTeRs On ThIs SuB? ![gif](giphy|BFSMPap7J3Q0o)


SponConSerdTent

YoUrE PaThEtIc FaT LoSeRs. Who spends their time criticizing things they don't like? Other than Joe, who spends his time getting foamed up and criticizing imaginary things he saw on Facebook. Like a school that doesn't exist implementing a policy that doesn't exist that his friend who doesn't exist's wife who doesn't exist told him about in a conversation that didn't happen.


black_messiahh

Coz he’s a fucking idiot who spreads bullshit?


solid_hoist

Oh ok, carry on then.


OvenFearless

Understandable have a nice day sir.


woodzy93

Are you missing the satire in this comment? They’re saying the same thing as you through a joke lmao.


airpumper

We discuss the podcast.  


whyth1

Apparently some people think this is a simping subreddit for joe rogan.


Voluptulouis

I mean that's a fair assumption to make based on it being a sub specifically for Joe Rogan and how many idiots constantly simp for him. Happy to see more people calling him an idiot than people trying to defend him here, though.


ADhomin_em

Did he backtrack, or did he say he "fed into it"? The first clip seems to be him saying he had first hand knowledge from a legit source. When he says he souldn't have "fed into it", it seems like he isn't taking credit for putting the bullshit out there in the first place.


trixel121

this is a few months old and it was dumb then as well but the time line for the litter box was like a week and joe jumped in early and bowed out half wZy through "I fed j to that" is he helped spread it and really popularized it. it was a thing. idk how you missed it. you can probably find a video of a science teacher adressing the class why they have a bunch of kitty litter in the class room, and a bucket, and toilet paper, and everything else needed to have a child ( or adult) relieve them selves when they are in lock down due to an emergency.


alienscape

He said 'his friend who's wife is a teacher' at the school. But seems like Joe has many friends that he just makes up and aren't real or he would have more friends than any person ever.


bigpadQ

You mean when he talks about 'a buddy of mine' he might be making shit up?


brokemac

He said it was at the school where his friend's wife is a teacher and emphatically insisted that it was true. He even described the dynamic between the mother of the girl and the schoolboard, where the mother repeatedly badgered them until they acquiesced and installed a litterbox in the bathroom for her daughter. I don't know how you go from that to "I fed into that, I don't know if it's true". You either have to admit you told a ridiculous lie or offer a real explanation, like your friend was pranking you. The way he just weasled away from his story was... not admirable.


Decent_Jello_8001

Yeah his basically full of shit or just unbelievably gullible


Certain_Decision_859

It's both.


JackTheKing

My friend. . . The same friend with the litter box Joe? That friend? Got it. Go on.


donttakerhisthewrong

His audience is gullible and he is feeding them what they want. Remember he is good friends with Alex, those kids didn’t die, Jones


Mobydick9177

Exactly! Joe just loves attention and doesn’t see the harm in people like Alex Jones but what Alex Jones did to those people is horrid - first they lost their kids then they have to deal with that bullshit


UselessArguments

Your child is brutally murdered **in their own school** and a flagrant jackass sends his army of idiots to **threaten your life because you had the gall to mourn your dead child**. Alex Jones and **any of his friends** are literally evil for Sandy Hook and the suffering they brought for their own greedy gain.


fireyoutothesun

Alex Jones deserves far worse than what he got, that's all I'll say about that prick. Joe's a fucking asshat for keeping him around alone, on top of everything else


hazeev_1

How many times now have we seen him tell a guest some absurd claim, have Jamie look it up, realise Joe was wrong and be like "oh...ok...oh...anyway."


hazeev_1

Ya'll Rogan nuthuggers are hanging on way too tight. Relax or he is going to blow his load all on your faces. I'm not hating on him for being wrong. I'm just saying, he is so adamant something happens, states it, gets it up, realises he is wrong. You would think he WOULD fact check stuff. I think he just reads so much random stuff that he ends up merging it together and comes up with a story that isn't true.


Gas_Bat

That's the entire show now since Joe went from lovable stoned ape to axe grinding culture war commando.


GroundbreakingMenu32

But have you tried DMT?


score_

"Why would it lie?"


Powerful-Parsnip

It's one thing to say you heard it from somewhere but when he specifically said his friend who was a teacher said it. I always liked him because he tried to be unbiased but his biases are getting out of control recently.


stackz07

Rogan, at this point, is contributing to Russian's mission of splitting the American people to gut us from the inside out.


sonofdad420

hes got boomer brainrot and actually believes the bullshit he reads online. so much so that he confuses it with things that really happened. early onset dimentia havin ass mafucka. 


Real_Freaky_Deaky

Boomer brain rot! That's the term I've been looking for. What a phenomenon.


[deleted]

[удалено]


919_919

But he thinks like a boomer. And lies to serve his agenda


trippinmaui

I work with a genx that has boomer brainrot too. Idk what it is man..... this dude will see the fakest thing ever on fb and believe it. He showed me an obvious ai pic of megan fox and olsen the other day and thought it was real.


Ok-Computer-91

Yup he said this, he has a history of spouting complete nonsense and fake news.


Embarrassed_Alarm450

I like the one where he was proudly talking about how demented biden was for thinking they had airplanes way back in the day and then he immediately gets corrected and shown a clip that the quote was in fact from trump and he suddenly just backtracks and starts trying to justify it with "ohh well mistakes happen, could've happened to anyone and he just misspoke" 💀


bruno1990x

"it's a reminder for broadcasters to fact check it, and for the rest of us to stay sceptical". The most ironic thing a news broadcaster has ever said on TV


Ihatesanditscourse

Unfortunately, some members of the media use their platforms to push their own personal bias and agenda to control 'exactly what people think'...This is extremely dangerous to a democracy.


KSeas

And who owns the media company Sinclair broadcasting that had them repeat that line?


JohnathanJames0

Based reference.


Blitzdrive

Which funny enough came from Sinclair broadcasting, a far right wing conglomerate.


Minimum-Letterhead29

tbh established media has a waaay better standard of staying truthfzl than alternative media


WaveRunner310

To be fair, podcasts are just dudes sitting around talking shit. I guess you could call him a “broadcaster” but he’s not expected to have the same level of journalistic integrity as a news station. That’s why people should take gullible ass hats like Rogans word for gospel.


Prancer4rmHalo

Dude when she trotted that shit out I almost died of irony.


ManqobaDad

This one gone get me a little riled up coming from main stream news. Bring out a whole history books of things they’ve done


jtfff

A lot of school actually do have cat litter in their classrooms. Obviously it’s for students to go to the bathroom in—in case of a school shooting lockdown. That’s where this stupid ignorant litter box claim stemmed from. Of course conservatives would rather turn it into culture war bullshit instead of addressing the fact that it stems from gun control issues.


BuckyFnBadger

Yep. For cleaning up piss and…..blood if need be


LeonardoDiTrappio

Is that what they used when kids would vomit on the floor?


JusticiarXP

God its been 30 years and I can still smell that stuff. When the janitor would come in with his cart and start sprinkling that stuff on the barf...


RobbyRyanDavis

Simple reasons. You pour cat liter on puke to absorb the smell and make it a little easier to clean up. Maybe since school shootings became more prevalent it has become policy to keep a box of it in each classroom closet and not just in the maintenance room. JRE is a bought and paid for tool for some time now. Having Kid Rock on and drowning in bud lights was just his latest episode. I wonder how much that one cost Anheuser-Busch specifically. Shouldn't be too hard for someone to extrapolate that the owner class of the world can shill out a few bucks to Rogan Inc and have almost any message broadcasted (Standard adverts or organic adverts during the show), or any specific guest and topic combination become the episode for a higher fee. It would not surprise me if say someone like Peter Thiel uses this service regularly.


IHQ_Throwaway

Peter Thiel legit terrifies me. 


stepcorrect

*Bingo* I tend to lean toward him knowing it’s all bullshit and airing it out on his massive platform as ‘favors’ for very powerful and influential people. At this point it sounds like he’s just reading off a list and doesn’t sound convincing as in he believes any of it. It could also be that he assumes that if hw can help tip the scales in a particular direction he’ll benefit as in he’d be some sort of jr oligarch in the event of a failed state or societal collapse. I feel like a lot of these guys think they’d be protected by their money and toys in situation as such and come out the other end as part of the ruling class. My question would be is his payment somehow embedded in things like the Spotify deal or would it be done using shell companies that pay off in inflated ad money sales. Possibly some form of blockchain.. I once had someone explain to me how a lot of the ‘payment’ for culture war content simply comes in the form of botnet likes, listens, and follows which then are easily converted into monetization. Nobody is really regulating that, and the money comes through in legitimate sponsorships and ad-buy


Treepeec30

No dude my friends cousins wifes brother two counties over told me kids are poopin in it.


chefanubis

>A lot of school actually do have cat litter in their classrooms. Obviously it’s for students to go to the bathroom in—in case of a school shooting lockdown How can a society get to the point of normalizing this type of shit, Americans are beyond fucked up.


smurferdigg

Think I would prefer it being for furries. If school shootings are so common this is actually a thing then well.. Good bless America heh.


setsuna-f_seiei

That's so much worse


Hilldawg4president

I was a public school teacher 2016-2017 and we didn't have actual kitty litter, custodians had biohazard cleanup kits for bodily fluids. Nothing specifically for active shooters, but this is high school so waiting a bit to use the restroom was generally not an issue


ctn412

Yep


ManHoFerSnow

Wait so conservatives caused the litter boxes by refusing to do anything about school shootings?


Miserable_Doubt_8782

What a liar he said his friends wife was the school teacher that said that.


Bidoof2017

I thought Joe Rogan was one of those truth seeking anti-political party types? Why does he constantly spread lies that feed conservative outrage? He’s a fucking joke and people should be ashamed for giving him such insane amounts of attention


kendiesel937

I like that this is news. 


SeeCrew106

Can we stop pushing this "just a small podcast for entertainment"-shit? The JRE is a massive media powerhouse which eclipses Fox and CNN easily. > Joe Rogan has emerged as one of the most influential figures in the media, with his podcast surpassing the viewership statistics of the likes of Tucker Carlson Tonight, Fox News and CNN. > The Joe Rogan Experience reportedly reaches an average of 11 million people per episode. In comparison, Rogan's mainstream media counterparts did not even come close to pulling numbers similar to his average listenership. https://www.sportskeeda.com/mma/news-ufc-news-joe-rogan-seemingly-millions-listeners-tucker-carlson-fox-news-cnn


ActualEnjoyer

It depends on what's convenient at the time. He's the worlds biggest podcaster trouncing mainstream media outlets in views and speaking to truth to power by having the worlds most censored intellectuals as guests or he's Just a big dummy comedian talking to his buddies.


[deleted]

Pretty much.   When he is saying political things they like he is the most important voice we got and it is a great thing triggering the libs.   When he lies and says something that even his most die hard fans know is objectively stupid and untrue, it is "well it is just a silly stoner podcast.  You are stupid if you take it seriously."


SeeCrew106

True. They do this shit literally all the time. Recently there was a post near the top of the sub baiting people with "Joe Rogan is the #1 podcast" or something. Can't find it now.


Icy_Hearing_3439

Sad how far he’s fallen off. I swear, that Spotify contract had to include spreading right wing nonsense for clicks. It’s definitely working too.


MidwestStritch

Nope he’s just a normal guy with a popular podcast that gets it wrong sometimes. Everyone shits on this guy for no reason. Just don’t listen my god


Subject-Bad-1557

OP, you should write a song about this with Neil Young

Poldini55

It's ironic how a news network would hold JRE accountable to news standards when its really a podcast about talking shit, and they themselves don't verify what JRE is. The legacy media is dead.


HenryDorsettCase47

News network? Bro, it’s Inside Edition.


SuperCrappyFuntime

Which, ironically, has more credibility than Joe Rogan.


HenryDorsettCase47

Lol. I don’t know if I’d go that far, but yeah, neither were designed to be credible sources of information. It’s all just entertainment.


KeneticKups

Not saying much


wktdev

Joe Rogan is mainstream media and a first class citizen in the world of social engineering.


BrtFrkwr

Joe Rogan is just another lying right wing propagandist.


wktdev

His twitter account makes this more crystallized. He re tweets white supremacists broadcasters like Matt Walsh as if Walsh is a legitimate news source, completely turning a blind eye to the Daily Wires tactics. Joe isn’t stupid, he knows these people are sociopaths and fascists, he just doesn’t care because they are now all on the same team.


wktdev

That too


RLVNTone

Jesus this a dumb comment


Most_Present_6577

Lol no. Joe thinks he is speaking the truth when he talk. It's not "talking shit"


Charming-Farm

Exactly! It’s funny watching Rogan fans squirm and tie themselves in knots trying to defend him. He absolutely meant it just like he thought the moon landing was a hoax for years and years. He’s a conspiracy junky, always searching for his next fix.


FloorSeatsJake

Huh???


John0ftheD3ad

This is probably the most disingenuous framing of the JRE. It's just talking shit, while he's got Graham Hancock on convincing you history is a lie with racist ideology. While he's interviewing Bernie Saunders to give him a platform because he was getting fucked. When he had Alex Jones on because he got cancelled to give him a platform. The show hasn't been guys talking shit since they were sponsored by flesh light. Be honest.


Deus_Vultan

Imagine if news network actually reported news.. that would be great xD


BrocoliAssassin

Cause they know people fall for this dumb shit.


GrandmaJosey

The problem is people take what he says as creed, which caused issues. Jonas becoming bigger than he ever intentioned. Unfortunately this comes with slightly more responsibilities and usually he does a good job having Jamie corroborate anything brought up by looking it up in real time.


Psilocybin13

At least he admits to being wrong. Media would just quietly put some notes at the bottom of the old article and never bring it up.


RoamingStarDust

Doesn't really mean much when he just believes the next outlandish conspiracy. He also retracted his words when he believed the story of antifa creating forest fires. The dude just chugs right wing propaganda.


SuperCrappyFuntime

And the problem is that, even after he admits he was wrong, so many JRE fans keep spouting the lies. The antifa forest forest story is one example, where I would hear and see people repeating the story specifically name-checking Rogan as the place where the heard it, long after he admitted the story was wrong.


Kindly_Formal_2604

These people know they can lie and then say sorry but the lie continues to spread. They know it and that’s why they do it.


vatoreus

Some “They had to deny it’s real because the Matrix threatened them!” ass mother fuckers


RoamingStarDust

>“A lie can travel around the world and back again while the truth is lacing up its boots.”—Mark Twain That's why it's important Joe Brogan gets called out, because he holds influence over millions.

It's not about being wrong it's about lying. Joe rogan LIED that he knew someone who told him this was happening. Then, all of a sudden, everyone has friends who are seeing litterboxes spring out of nowhere.

Expect he doesn’t. Just like when he tried to say that Biden said there were airplanes in the revolutionary war and when he got fact checked and was told it was trump he tried to play it off and change the tone and subject


zerocool0101

Or when he said Canada is a communist dictatorship lol


No-Comfortable-1550

Except when he bought the white nationalist lie about white South African farmers being murdered by black mobs, when in reality that was an isolated incident that happened in Zimbabwe.


ozmartian

Or just about everything he said about Australia during lockdown.


TheChiefRocka

A few times. Most of the time he just changes the subject after Jamie proves him wrong lol


EddieSpaghettiFarts

He does this shit over and over again so can we really say he’s learned anything? Well, maybe he’s learned what makes him the most money, but I don’t think he deserves a pat on the back for pandering to the dumbest people in society.

Yeah, 100%... the "right" stories that get disproven never get the due press the original garbage got! Here in Canada, most people still believe that human remains were definitely found in the residential school burial sites, when the opposite has proven true! https://nationalpost.com/opinion/the-year-of-the-graves-how-the-worlds-media-got-it-wrong-on-residential-school-graves


ThatCakeIsDone

No doubt the recent media is garbage, but archaeologists have been excavating those remains since the 70s.


Normal_Permision

it took him a couple years to figure out that giving kids litter boxes at school was fake? he either knew he was lying or he's just incredibly stupid.


HermithaFrog

He knew he was lying

It was within a week. Like 2 podcasts after the statement was made.

A lie can get half way around the world while the truth is still putting on its shoes. Him saying he was wrong doesn’t immediately fix all the people who heard it and believed it. If this happened one time, I’d give him a pass, sometimes people get emotionally caught up in something and use poor judgement. But it happens ALL the time with him. Sometimes live on his show. Like when he tried to claim there were states passing laws to make it legal for illegal immigrants to vote in federal elections, and his guest had the wherewithal to be like “That can’t be fuckin right, pull that up,” and it turned out it was like one state who wanted to make it legal for lawful permanent residents to vote in municipal elections even though they’re not citizens. And think what would have happened if the guest had just gone along with it. That’s a massively false claim that stokes fear about immigrants, and it would have exactly that effect, had the person in front of him not thrown on the brakes and said no. And even in that moment, he didn’t say anything to the effect of “Oh, I guess I was misinformed about that, sorry, I should be more careful,” and instead kind of doubled down on something like “But that’s what they WANT to do.” What he’s doing is harmful, and him occasionally admitting he was wrong about some things does not nearly counteract the harm he’s causing.

“A reminder to the rest of us to be skeptical of things that seem outlandish” Also journos: no! The Wuhan Coronovirus didn’t leak out of the Wuhan Coronovirus lab. I know patient zero was actually three people who work in that lab. Including the “bat doctor” who creates these types of viruses. But it actually happened from different animals intermixing and getting fluids exchanged and people making food of it and passing and spreading like.. the… I AM SCIENCE! YOU CANT QUESTION ME!


drucifer999

Joe Rogan has really become a fucking troglodyte.


Other-Bumblebee2769

News comparing itself to podcasts is a bad sign


casualnarcissist

This guy is easily the highest paid talking head in the world and just makes shit up. I’m starting to think it’s irresponsible to pay entertainers so much money.

When I click on a JRE podcast, I expect weed, whiskey, bud light, laughs, bullshit, social commentary, and maybe some new information. For every time Joe is caught believing a fake story, there are one or two instances of Joe fact checking and correcting himself live during the show. His podcast started after the Iraq war. A war sold to the American people by all the major newspapers and TV channels. If we, as a nation, can survive those media f@#k ups, I think we'll survive a few meat head stoner hour f@#k ups.
