Joe Rogan is undoubtedly one of the most noted personalities in the entire UFC. The 55-year-old is also a seasoned comedian, a former martial artist, and a former TV presenter as well. Rogan also boasts unmatched fame, owing to his multi-directional works in various fields. His podcast, ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’, is one of the most-viewed podcasts in the entire US.
A recent episode of ‘JRE’ featured the noted professor of evolutionary biology and podcaster Bret Weinstein. The duo talked about a volley of issues. But, they mistakenly also talked about a “tweet” which was later found to be unauthentic. Recently, Weinstein took to Twitter in order to announce that the episode of ‘JRE’ featuring him would be taken down temporarily in order to prevent the spread of any misinformation.

Weinstein‘s tweet about ‘JRE’ and his discussion of the inauthentic tweet read, “JRE #1919 will be taken down temporarily by Joe’s team to address something we discovered after its release. A tweet we discussed turns out not to be authentic, and there’s no way to preserve that part while protecting the person who was being impersonated. #1919 will return soon“.

But, some fans had already watched the episode. One of them wrote, “Interesting. I already listened. I don’t think anything is lost by cutting that rather large chunk. Joe did keep going on about it a bit too much anyway. Great show. Still could have been 6 hours. Didn’t want it to end.”
Interesting. I already listened. I don’t think anything is lost by cutting that rather large chunk. Joe did keep going on about it a bit too much anyway.
Great show. Still could have been 6 hours. Didn’t want it to end.

Another fan had also been through the episode. He replied, “Great episode. Let’s be honest, there’s probably 100 real tweets just like that one so explains why it’s not insane to believe that there are actually people that feel that way”.
He implied that there are authentic people as well who bear the thoughts of that inauthentic tweet.
