![]() "If you're a healthy person, and you're exercising all the time, and you're young, and you're eating well. like, I don't think you need to worry about this," he said in an April episode of his podcast. But, Rogan added he is "not a doctor" or a "respected source of information."ĭr. ![]() Anthony Fauci, the nation's leading infectious disease expert, called out Rogan in April and said young people "absolutely" need to get vaccinated. Rogan on Sunday also defended his decision to book Dr. Robert Malone, an infectious disease specialist who has become well-known among anti-vaccine Americans and was banned from Twitter for spreading Covid misinformation. Rogan in the past has also promoted the use of ivermectin to treat Covid-19, despite warnings that there's no proof it can be effective at treating the virus.E very morning of my Joe Rogan experience began the same way Joe Rogan begins his: with the mushroom coffee. It’s a pour-and-stir powder made from lion’s mane and chaga-“two rock-star mushrooms,” according to Joe-and it’s made by a company called Four Sigmatic, a regular advertiser on Joe Rogan’s wildly popular podcast. As a coffee lover, the mere existence of mushroom coffee offends me. (“I’ll have your most delicious thing, made from your least delicious things, please,” a friend said, scornfully.) But it tastes fine, and even better after another cup of actual coffee. Next, I took several vitamin supplements from a company called Onnit, whose core philosophy is “total human optimization” and whose website sells all kinds of wicked-cool fitness gear-a Darth Vader kettlebell ($199.95) a 50-foot roll of two-and-a-half-inch-thick battle rope ($249.95) a 25-pound quad mace ($147.95), which according to one fitness-equipment site is a weapon dating back to 11th-century Persia. The greatest violin virtuoso used to be four feet tall, standing in their bedroom with a tiny bow, trying to squeak out a teeth-gritting version of Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star for the first time.I stuck to the health products, though, because you know how it goes-you buy one quad mace and soon your apartment is filled with them. Your favorite fantasy fiction author used to be a freckle-faced adolescent who would hunch over his keyboard sipping on a soda and scratching her head about how to describe a dragon. The biggest Hollywood actors and actresses used to be tiny humans nervously huddled backstage at the school play, reciting their lines over and over again and hoping they didn't mess anything up. ![]() Prolific modern-day inventors and business figures like Elon Musk, Richard Branson, and Bill Gates used to be teenagers tinkering in the garage with model airplanes, computer hard drives, and mail-order robot kits. Your husband, your wife, your mother, your father, your brother, and your sister-at a time really not too long ago-were pooping in their diapers, learning to awkwardly take their first step, throwing a tantrum, snatching away some other kid's precious toy, and checking under the bed and in the bedroom closet for scary monsters. Joe Rogan describes in many of his podcasts in which he discusses parenting how, when someone says something to him that could be potentially upsetting, controversial, insulting, or just plain silly, now that he's a parent he really doesn't judge them quite as harshly nor allow his own feelings to get hurt because he's come to the realization that everyone is just a grown child inside an adult-sized meat suit, still picking one shallow fight after another with each other, buying bigger and bigger toys, eating, drinking, pooping, laughing, masturbating, crying, talking and seeking entertainment and self-pleasure to deliver the surges of dopamine we are all hard-wired to crave, often abusing or misusing others to satisfy that craving. ![]() There are some shreds of truth to Joe's thoughts. Just because you're a parent doesn't mean you're not still stricken with imposter syndrome and simply trying to stay “one step ahead” of your own kids in learning what it really means to be a parent, or even an adult for that matter.Īfter all, just because you're in possession of a full-grown body doesn't mean there's a responsible adult mind and soul inside. ![]()
