Podcast megastar Joe Rogan has been called out live on-air for pushing false claims about Australian food laws.
During an episode of his popular podcast The Joe Rogan Experience, the 54-year-old claimed that politicians in NSW were trying to “pass a law that won’t allow you to grow your own food”.
“I want to know what their justification was, but I’m pretty sure it had to do with agricultural contamination,” Rogan said on Thursday’s episode, which featured media personality and regular guest Bryan ‘Hotep Jesus’ Sharpe.
“You could justify it if you’re a real piece of sh*t,” he continued, adding that he believed certain Australian authorities were “f***ing creeps”.
“We gonna stop these motherf***ers from growing their own food … because that’s how you smoke out an anti-vaxxer, because you can’t go to a grocery store anymore, and you can’t grow your own food,” he said.
However, his rant was cut short when producer Jamie Vernon, who regularly googles topics in live-time, interjected to tell his boss that he was wrong.
“The closest thing I could find is something like this, but that’s not what you were saying,” Vernon said, referring to an article relating to New Zealand laws, which he quickly clarified was itself “false”.
“It’s got to be a real thing … it seems too good to not be,” Rogan replied, before declaring after a pause that he too couldn’t find the law he was referring to.
“Damn it, it better not be fake … it might be fake,” he said.
