A recent episode of ‘JRE’ featured the noted professor of evolutionary biology and podcaster Bret Weinstein. The duo talked about a volley of issues. But, they mistakenly also talked about a “tweet” which was later found to be unauthentic. Recently, Weinstein took to Twitter in order to announce that the episode of ‘JRE’ featuring him would be taken down temporarily in order to prevent the spread of any misinformation.

Fans who had already watched the controversial JRE episode gave their opinion

Weinstein‘s tweet about ‘JRE’ and his discussion of the inauthentic tweet read, “JRE #1919 will be taken down temporarily by Joe’s team to address something we discovered after its release. A tweet we discussed turns out not to be authentic, and there’s no way to preserve that part while protecting the person who was being impersonated. #1919 will return soon“.

But, some fans had already watched the episode. One of them wrote, “Interesting. I already listened. I don’t think anything is lost by cutting that rather large chunk. Joe did keep going on about it a bit too much anyway. Great show. Still could have been 6 hours. Didn’t want it to end.”

Another fan had also been through the episode. He replied, “Great episode. Let’s be honest, there’s probably 100 real tweets just like that one so explains why it’s not insane to believe that there are actually people that feel that way”.

He implied that there are authentic people as well who bear the thoughts of that inauthentic tweet.

One more fan put up the piece of misinformation due to which the episode of ‘JRE’ was removed temporarily.

The user replied, How does this get labeled misinformation? Also scary for someone who may be allergic to ingredients within the shot @RedCross”

The fan also tagged the International Red Cross Society in his post and expressed concern about those who might be allergic to some of the ingredients of the COVID Vaccine.

There were other opinions about The Joe Rogan Experience’s controversial episode as well

One fan presented a hilarious reply to Weinstein talking about Rogan‘s “team” deciding to take the episode down. He stated, “Joes team is young Jamie lol”.

One more fan thanked Rogan and Weinstein, stating, “Thank you for speaking about the hospital standard of care and the vax!”.

Another user went a bit sarcastic as he wrote, “If you really wanted to preserve authenticity, everything but Joe talking would be edited out”.

One more fan was also disappointed initially by losing out on the episode while watching it. But then got to realize the whole issue.

He commented, “Yo I was in the middle of this episode and lost it that’s NUTS! Thanks for the clarification.”

Although it was apparent from the comments section that even those who had watched the entire episode weren’t much bothered about the misinformative tweet. But a move to rectify any error is always appreciable.

Do you see this act as a positive gesture?

The coveted scrap between Lennox Lewis and Mike Tyson in 2002 was when I realized the passion for combat sports within my family. My interest in combat sports began watching scripted pro wrestling shows. It was my father who directed me towards combat sports and it wasn’t until the late 2010s that I discovered the world of MMA and the UFC. Like many of you, I too, tuned in for the infamous Nurmagomedov vs. McGregor bout live on October 6, 2018. Being an ardent fan of the UFC (and Dustin ‘The Diamond’ Poirier), I was always looking to have conversations about the same with others. But to my disappointment, I hardly found any followers of the sports to interact with. So I took it upon myself to do my part in popularizing the thrill and the agony behind the purest form of unarmed combat. At EssentiallySports, I try to bring the readers closer to the athletes and focus my coverage on exploring the human side of these martial artists. I’m a musician during my time free from reporting MMA. I operate as the lead vocalist of a rock band that aims to make their mark among the audiences with their original alternative-hard rock songs.
