brain-dead husband threatened to walk if spotify refused to muzzle joe rogan. hundreds of millions of people were affected by the serious harms of rampant myths and disinformation every day. they yelped through a publicist. of course they don t mean it, they re not going anywhere. these two grifters have a $25 million podcast deal with spotify for essentially no work. so far we believe they produced just over 30 minutes of content. that means these two intake about a million dollars for each minute of talking they ve done. that is a good gig. it is too good to leave. but their performance does raise the question, what exactly about joe rogan s podcast has caused serious harm? we are literal too so we scoured his archives to find out. it turns out as usual the opposite is true. joe rogan is actually a force for safety in this world. watch this clip in which he warns the public about the dangers of approaching gorillas in the wild.
neil young probably never has. he s an elderly folk singer from the nation of canada. young has pulled his music from spotify in protest of joe rogan s open mindedness. does he own his own music? we don t know but we know the gesture received the wide spread applause from the usual who reveal themselves to be dumber than you thought they were. variety magazine which still exists informed us that neil young s stand against joe rogan makes him a hero to the younger generation. right, because if there is one person kids of today revere, worship like a god, it is 76-year-old neil young. they would pick neil young over joe rogan every day because they are anxious to demand the firing of any podcast or who interviews anyone kamala harris disagrees with. it s hilarious! but at cnn they ve convinced themselves it is all totally true because joe rogan is peddling this information therefore he must be stopped! you think about major
