| 0:00.0 | We've got Joe Rogan apologizing on air to Theo Vaughn this after Joe had feigned concern for Theo's mental health state, which again, I'm sure Joe Rogan meant well, but on his podcast, which is monetized into the hundreds of millions of dollars, it's like not everything has to be shared publicly. |
| 0:19.6 | I think Joe continues to learn that as he, |
| 0:22.3 | you know, like everybody kind of figures out this whole thing called podcasting. |
| 0:26.3 | Flew too close to the sun, now apologizes. So initially I'll share what Joe had said, |
| 0:31.2 | but Theo's response to this concern about his health was, sad to see this kind of stuff. I'm doing |
| 0:36.3 | great. I'm a human being, which is a rocky |
| 0:38.2 | ride, but I'm doing fine thanks. Now, I'm going to share what kicked this off. I don't think |
| 0:43.4 | Joe Rogan really addresses what was wrong with what he said, because I don't think he quite |
| 0:49.0 | understands. He was using his friend Theo to make a point. The point he was trying to make was that certain, you know, antidepressants are bad for you and we, there's no such thing as chemical imbalances, which is very dismissive in the first place because first of all, who the hell is Joe? You know what I mean? Like I can't eat sugar without going into a spiral because I'm a sugar addict because I was raised on clean your plate |
| 1:10.9 | and I just have this food eating issue, right? Like a lot of people do. My wife doesn't. She can eat |
| 1:14.8 | anything and she can eat half her food and put it down and it's no big deal. She can't possibly understand what it's like to deal with the things that I've got going on in my head. If someone was to say, Dave, it's just in your head. You don't have an addiction. He'd be like, F you. Are you |
| 1:26.8 | kidding me? Have you seen me with a late night bowl of ice cream? But the point is, is that we all are different, |
| 1:32.3 | right? We're all going through a different life experience here. We've chosen different levels to |
| 1:36.1 | this video game of life. Theo's level, I think, is brilliant. I think what he has been going through |
| 1:42.5 | and sharing with his audience is the reason why he's |
| 1:45.9 | got such a loyal fan base because he does wear his heart on his sleeve. I also operate under that |
| 1:51.7 | sort of ideology that everyone's trying the best with the information they have. I think Rogan is just |
| 1:56.9 | so disconnected from reality because he's been insulated in this world he's lived in for so long |
| 2:02.7 | that he doesn't even understand sometimes when he steps in it because no one wants to tell him |
| 2:07.1 | because everyone wants to please the you know the king of podcasting by the way if you want to come to |
| 2:12.0 | a stand-up show next friday east nashville 8 p.m at love and exile go to rush hour with dave.com |
| 2:16.9 | do you want to come see me all right let's get into it. So this is what Joe initially said. I'll just play it real quick. Theo Vaughn's going through the exact same thing. And last time I was on the podcast, he was explaining it to me. It freaks me out because I know Theo's had conversations before, like even publicly. He had a... So anyway, it goes into how Theo bombed, |
