During this segment, Rogan and Marinez were discussing Data Privacy and how IT companies exploit the personal information of users. Rogan said that a bunch of ‘lunatics’ functions in these companies and the environment there is of ‘utter madness’.

While sharing a real-life story of his friend, Rogan said, “The way she described it to me, she’s like it is utter madness and the lunatics are running this asylum to a certain extent because there’s a lot of people in the company that she works for now. So a lot of people that are inside the company that legitimately are mentally ill and they consider themselves activists.”

“And when confronted, they talk about their activism. And like, she’s like listen, you are here for you know for x amount of hours a day, this is your f*ck*ng job. You’re not an activist,” Rogan added.
