When the host asked Rogan about his thoughts on Johnny Depp’s win in the verdict, the 54-year-old said, “Well, I think it was probably good for all people who believe in the truth.”

Though, Rogan noted, “The problem is there’s like this, boys vs. girls narrative that I think we all get into on these things. You know, and there’s a lot of guys who wanted a guy to win one of these things.”
