Joe Rogan never shies away from expressing his opinion on his massive platform- The Joe Rogan Experience. The millionaire podcast host has occasionally faced troubles because of some comments made on his Spotify show as well. Yet, he has not made any particular changes to the show’s format, which remains unfiltered as usual.

Recently, a famous author named Meredith Masony criticized Rogan’s past opinion about working parents.

The JRE host, on episode #955, in a conversation with Ari Shaffir, said, “People think they can have a kid and have careers too. And everyone has a career.” Rogan didn’t agree with both parents working while kids stay at home and asked, “Who’s watching the kid?”

These words caught Meredith Masony’s attention, who addressed it in a Facebook live video.

The founder of ‘That’s Inappropriate and That’s Inappropriate’ said, “I’m not sure how that works because most people have bills. And unless you’re paying your bills with butterflies, rainbows, and hopes and dreams. How are you supposed to raise children and not have a job?”

“People have jobs they hate to pay those bills; Joe Rogan. He does have kids, but I guess maybe he just means the woman shouldn’t have a job. He didn’t come out and say that, but he said he hates those kinds of parents who have careers and don’t watch their own kids,” added Masony.

The author, who claimed she watched a lot of Rogan’s Fear Factor clips, was baffled by the UFC commentator’s opinion and completely dismissed it in her video.
