What was it about?

Joe Rogan did not tread carefully during the Netflix special with his jokes ranging from former First Lady of the US, Michelle Obama to calling out trans people and gender-neutral washrooms. 

The former TV host also mocked COVID-19 vaccines and how the pandemic had shaken his belief system about the world. He also took occasional digs at his own ability to spread misinformation which often ended up influencing thousands on the internet. 

Lamenting the ongoing trans-acceptance culture in America, Rogan joked that it felt strange to accept “this new reality,” suggesting the need for standards. Ironic though. “You can’t just put lipstick on and now you can shit in the women’s room!” the podcaster joked.
