joe rogan had to respond finally to the
whole spotify um neil young thing
because i'm sure you remember neil young
came out right and he was like i'm sick
of joe rogan spreading all of this
misinformation about vaccines if spotify
is going to let him like
say all of this trash on the app then i
want them to take my music off so then
spotify was like all right well we'll
take your music off you're neil young
this is joe rogan we've paid him
millions of dollars do you know what i
mean
like and i get it because spotify was
never going to quit joe rogan you give a
guy 100 million dollars you're gonna
keep the guy that you gave a hundred
million dollars to because you've spent
the money
it's the same reason i still drink tummy
tea i bought it in bulk well it doesn't
make me but i spend my money
i don't approve of it
but that's life
and a lot of people said neil young was
an idiot for going up against spotify
i'm not gonna lie i didn't think this
was gonna do anything like even me as
trevor i was like neil young thank you
for laying your life down and things are
just gonna carry on but it turns out one
person can't start a movement because
over the weekend
um joni mitchell said spotify take off
my music as well and then people were
like oh we know jodie mitchell and
then brene brown came out and she was
like my podcast i'm not putting any more
episodes up and that's huge because
brene brown is like oprah's therapist
and i mean think about it that's huge
because oprah is our therapist
and then on top of that harry and megan
came out and they were like we have
concerns
and that seems calm but for british
people we have concerns basically means
oh hell no
so things got bigger over the weekend
and then on sunday night joe rogan comes
out
and he issues his own apology right this
is how big this thing got
and so like after you watch that apology
this is there's a couple of things that
i wanted to say about it um
number one in my opinion i actually
thought it was a pretty classy apology
from joe rogan you know for him to say i
can do better um i'm not trying to
spread misinformation uh you know i will
try and do a better job at this i
actually thought it was pretty classy
and i know some people are gonna say
yeah the only reason he's saying sorry
is because his bosses are making him say
sorry yeah but bosses or not guys let's
be honest in this society we live in
these days who says i'm sorry and i made
a mistake and i don't have all the
answers i'm just trying to do but people
don't say that anymore nobody admits to
making mistakes anymore you know i was
half expecting joe rogan's coming to be
like uh guys in my podcast was hacked
that wasn't me but instead he owned up
to it i thought it was pretty dope it
was refreshing
you know secondly i also like that he
said i'm still a neil young fan even
though neil young was against his views
in those podcasts you know what i mean i
think that was nice it's nice to live in
a world where we can say i don't agree
with you but i still like you because
that used to be a thing that we could do
as people
you know now we've just turned into a
group of people who are like i hate you
i hate you because you said the thing
opposite me i don't know get away i
disagree with you you mom
now you don't talk to your mom anymore
you know
like i like that he said that i i like a
lot of people who i don't agree with on
everything
like i don't believe that uptown funk is
going to give it to me
but i still love bruno mars
we agree to disagree
this is society
right and and and also i i think
this is like a really complicated point
to make maybe is this joe rogan says
that he brings on people who he doesn't
agree with all the time but people are
pulling a handful of episodes out and
they're angry about those episodes
they're saying he spreads misinformation
now here's where i'm not trying to
defend your rogan and somebody's maybe
going to do it to me they're going to
take a part out and go trevor defense
joe rogan trevor whatever it is i don't
i myself am saying this i understand the
nuance of this point joe rogan makes a
ton of podcasts and in those
podcasts there were like maybe two
podcasts or so where people like we
don't like what you what you said there
but he's not wrong in saying that he
sometimes brings people on who say the
opposite point to that and the reason we
know that that's true is because we've
all seen that clip of joe rogans where
he's on his show being corrected by
somebody on his show so he's not lying
when he says he brings people on to
correct him and the we saw the
correction in life like you know what i
mean happened in real time on his show
so i'd go yes he does bring that stuff
on but because of the internet age we
live in we on people based on the
little that we see of them we don't give
them the full context people are like
i'm not going to listen to hours and
hours of joe rogan i'm just going to get
angry about this and move on with my
life so in his def i get that part of
what he's saying
right
i get it
but everything in life needs context
like if you cut out one part then
sometimes you can lose it
you know because you can watch a movie
and then just cut out a clip and you'll
be like oh is this a movie about some
guy hooking up with his sister then
you're like no this is star wars there's
a lot more
the context is very important is what
i'm saying right
joe rogan does he talks about mma he has
authors on uh really cool authors
sometimes you know he talks to real
doctors who disagree with him et cetera
et cetera he does he does that in joe
rogan's defense can't believe i'm saying
that now but now you know i also want to
live in a reasonable world in jorgen's
defense he does bring other people on
now
here's the issue that i have with the
clip though
joe rogan then goes on to say i'm not
trying to spread misinformation but
let's be honest a lot of the things that
we're saying now you would be banned for
saying a long time ago
right and he says like remember a lot of
things that we said months ago like they
weren't considered true but now they're
true
and and and i've noticed this trend
starting to happen where people are
using what i like to call like broken
clock techniques
where they're going like oh it wasn't
four o'clock earlier but it's four
o'clock now yeah you were wrong then at
some point it will be four o'clock it
doesn't mean that now you were right all
along you can't just wait at the time
what's the time four o'clock no what's
the time four o'clock no was the time
four o'clock no was it time four o'clock
yes ha-ha i told you
i was right all along no
at some point you may be right because
here's the thing
i'm not saying joe rogan himself but i
know joe rogan has not been a covert
vaccine fan joe rogan and a lot of
people like him were like the vaccines
are they're useless right and
now they're saying look huh we were
right all right no omicron
gets through the vaccine
vaccines will still save your
life have you seen the
numbers the rates of people dying the
rates of people getting sick if you
don't have it it's like 7.8 out of 100
000 people can die and then when you
take the vaccine it's like nothing and
then when you go down on the boost it's
like even less than nothing do you get
what i'm saying
omicron changed that you can't say that
like i was right all along when i became
right no you were wrong all along and
then now things changed and now you're
not as wrong as you were that's the
first point for me you know so the
second thing he says as well he's like
oh if you said cloth masks were were
useless back then you would be banned
you you weren't you weren't banned for
saying that
for months there's been research on the
types of mosques that's another issue i
have
people are taking the words and then
they're just cutting a few words on me
like you see i'm right masks are useless
no
cloth masks
are basically useless cloth masks right
masks still work
but now people are using cloth masks to
negate all the other you see all
muscle no my friend what we've realized
is
knitted condoms don't work
condoms still work you can't be like i
told you condoms don't work no no no
knitted condoms let's be specific about
which ones we're talking about
again in joe rogan's defense i can't
believe i've said the sentence so many
times
the the thing about covert coming from a
lab that could get your post removed
from social media again it didn't get
you banned but that is a thing where
people like oh this is a theory and for
a long time because of racism towards
asian people
people were really sensitive about that
because they were just like ah you
chinese people came with this from your
house that's how people were saying it
jerome's like no i wasn't saying it like
that it's a misinformation i understand
that part
you know what i mean but but
people mustn't make it like oh no we
were right all along this has
proved everybody wrong in every
different way
you know
it's proved so many people wrong
i'm not saying jurors trying to spread
misinformation
and he is right it is just a
conversation but conversations change
with context
do you know what i mean
you can say anyone you can say the
election was stolen
ain't no thing about a chicken wing
but when you're the president of the
united states and you say the election
was stolen the context changes you can't
be like i was just having a conversation
you know just me and my people shooting
this it changes a lot and i think
joe rogan acknowledges that he goes like
yo i have millions of people listening
to me so now i have to be responsible
because now i have a boss called spotify
and now you guys are listening to me
it's the gift and the curse you can say
whatever you want when nobody's
listening and then when everyone's
listening now you have to be responsible
i mean it's the same rules as like a
penis when no one's around do whatever
you want
when there's people
all responsibility in the world
now there's gonna be a headline trevor
noah defends joe rogan
that's all they're gonna cut out
or trevor noah slams joe rogan
now it's like i don't there's no you
know what i mean
so welcome to the internet
