Joe Rogan Gets Support From Dwayne Johnson, Kevin James And Jewel Amid Vaccine Misinformation Controversy

Amid the mounting pressure on Spotify over allegations of Covid misinformation presented on its Joe Rogan Experience podcast, the show’s host made an apology of sorts — “if I pissed you off, I’m sorry” — and garnered support from Dwayne Johnson, Kevin James, Jewel, Jamie Kennedy, Tulsi Gabbard, Troy Aikman, Kat Von D, Domanic Monaghan, Candice Owens, Jillian Michaels, Tomi Lahren and Andrew Dice Clay.
All of those boldfaced names responded in the comments section of the Instagram video that Rogan posted Monday in which he said he just likes to have “interesting conversations with people that have differing opinions,” but admitted he doesn’t “always get it right” and promised to “do better.”
He did so in response to criticism from Neil Young and Joni Mitchell aover what they called “fake information about vaccines” presented on his show. Rogan did not go so far as to characterize views expressed on his show as “fake.” In fact, he said he tries to get to “the truth.” (Side note: Rogan says in the video he “loves” Joni Mitchell and that “‘Chuck E.’s in Love’ is a great song.” In truth, however, that song was written and performed by Rickie Lee Jones, a fact that the podcaster later caught and owned up to.)
Rogan also acknowledged the awesome power of hosting a podcast with millions of subscribers and admitted, “I’ve never tried to do anything with this podcast other than just talk to people and have interesting conversations. I didn’t plan it. I can’t believe it’s as successful as it is. It started out just f*cking around with my friends…and then, BOOM, it’s become what it is today, which is this out of control juggernaut that I barely have control of.”
He continued, “It’s a strange responsibility to have this many viewers and
