Joe Rogan’s podcast The Joe Rogan Experience isn’t limited to martial arts or comedy discussions. The 54-year-old engages in a variety of conversations and even responds to callouts. In episode #1140 of the JRE podcast, Joe Rogan responded to a call out by Alex Jones after their relationship went sour.
Rogan said, “Alex Jones, I love you, buddy, for real. But you say some silly sh*t. That’s where this all comes from. Doesn’t mean I don’t love you. You’re a great guy. But there’s some sh*t that’s just silly. It’s a waste of time…”

“That’s one of those things. It’s just a waste of time. Does that make sense?”
His guest, Joey Diaz, agreed with him and added, “I’m with you.”
Joe Rogan continued, “I think there’s real conspiracies, you know. But I think there’s some that, you know, people just get caught up and looking for conspiracies in everything. And after a while, it’s exhausting.”
“I love the guy…, I just don’t support a lot of the sh*t that he said, like the Sandy Hook stuff. I don’t know if he since disavowed that, I don’t know if he changed his opinion on it. I don’t know what it is. But at a certain point in time, like Jesus man, are you sure? Like you got to be really sure before you say something crazy like that.”
As reported by ‘Forbes‘, Jones had called the family members of Sandy Hook school shooting victims ‘crisis actors’. This resulted in legal issues and social media backlash. Hence, the Spotify podcaster was uncertain about having the controversial personality back on his show.
Jones was of the opinion that the MMA analyst’s uncertainty about engaging with him was because he was brought off by ‘special interests’, in other words, by George Soros. However, Jones made a comeback on the JRE in episode #1255.
Jones has been entangled with legal issues because of his comments about the Sandy Hook incident. Forbes‘ new report states that Jones is to pay $45 million in punitive damages for the claims he made.
