Fact Checking Joe Rogan: 3 Times the Spotify Podcaster Got Corrected for Floating Unfounded Ideas

Joe Rogan has been the most outspoken UFC entity for a very long time now. In fact, Rogan has been the flag bearer of the promotion since its hay days. Now, he runs a Spotify that’s worth millions. With all the opinions and conversations he has, there are times when he gets fact-checked.

Rogan doesn’t shy away from discussing intense or controversial topics. There are also days when Rogan just sits and laughs it out with his guests. However, here are a few occasions when Rogan got corrected by the world. Let’s dive into it all.

Joe Rogan experiencing the fact-checkers of his world

In 2020, Joe Rogan hosted politician Douglas Murray. It was right after the disastrous fires in California that were massive enough to convert the whole landscape. Rogan and Murray discussed the issue and Rogan voiced his belief on how he thought people were arrested for being involved in causing the wildfires.

“They’ve arrested left-wing people for lighting these forest fires,” he had said only to be quickly flamed by CNN and many online. No arrests were made by the FBI or the local police. And Rogan’s claims were completely baseless. The color commentator very quickly apologized for his mistake and cleared the air.

The next time around, it was Rogan claiming that the riots inside and outside of the Capitol Building on the 6th of January, 2021 were orchestrated. He was certain in his belief of the conspiracy theory that sounded way too off for something so chaotic. “The Jan. 6 thing is bad, but also, the intelligence agencies were involved in provoking people into the Capitol Building. That’s a fact.”

Of course, he claimed intelligence agencies were in on it and the lash out was quick against him. This time though, Rogan didn’t back off from his claims. It was just like the time he believed in the ‘Bondo Ape’ theory. A theory that is now debunked that claimed the existence of a super-ape that could walk upright like human beings. What happened during the session of his podcast?

Rogan went ballistic on a scientist

When Rogan proudly and strongly claimed the truth about the ‘Bondo Ape’ theory, he found it best to call an actual primatologist from Florida. The scientist who would only identify herself as Alison did nothing to back Rogan up and only opposed his theory.

She vehemently fought an aggressive Rogan who would go on to call her “stupid” in her face many times. Now, the existence of such a super-ape has been disproven. Did Rogan take out time to apologize? It is not known. It’s also not known if he ever contacted Alison again. But he was told the truth from the get go. What other times can you think of when Rogan was called out for being too controversial or outright wrong? Let us know in the comments.
