“The Irony of Joe Being a Comedian”- When Fans Were Unhappy With Joe Rogan’s Stance

Several topics discussed in ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’ have offended people. Hence, his podcast has been under fire. Many artists have taken down their work off ‘Spotify’ to protest against his podcast. One such person is Neil Young.

However, one topic left several other people asking questions. Several fans weren’t happy with Rogan’s stance and expressed it in the comments. In an older episode with Johann Hari, fans saw Rogan debating about mental health; specifically pertaining to depression. Viewers saw Rogan and Hari debating on happiness, as both of them seemed to have opposing views.

The guest presented his arguments using several pieces of research. Many felt like Rogan was unhappy with his guests’ conflicting views on happiness. Hari presented the view that some people can attain happiness by doing something for others. But Rogan felt like chasing success or doing something for yourself was more appropriate.

Several users on YouTube thus had things to say about the famous podcaster. One user wrote, “I cannot get over the irony of Joe being a comedian and not understanding how making others happy can make you happy”.

Another person wrote, “I love the fact that Joe, a very well balanced and well rounded American, can not understand how doing something for others makes you happy. This is exactly Johann’s point about the American culture.”

A different user wrote, “I believe Joe was offended because he personally fell into the category of the American pursuing success to be happy. For him to agree with his guest would make him a hypocrite. I’m not attacking his character, just saying why he got so worked up over this guy’s theory. To be honest, I agree with his guest though. I don’t think American citizens are bad, we’re just taught to chase the wrong carrots.”
