Joe Rogan didn’t hold back on the latest Joe Rogan Experience (JRE), telling comedian Theo Von he’s “losing his f*cking marbles” after Von unleashed a wild tirade about the Epstein files, the Gaza conflict, and the chaos gripping American politics.
Theo Von’s Bold Claims Get Shut Down
Von went off-script, accusing politicians of “slurping on kids” and lambasting the U.S. for pouring money into Israel, only for that cash to fuel bombings in Palestine, Iran, and Lebanon. It was one of the few times a celeb has openly spoken out so bluntly on these hot topics—yet Rogan swiftly cut him down. Despite Rogan’s dismissal, many think Theo hit the nail on the head, given the state of affairs.
Rogan and Von Both Critical, but With Different Styles
To Rogan’s credit, he’s not exactly silent on Epstein or the wars in the Middle East. However, his approach tends to be far more cautious and measured compared to Theo’s fiery outburst. Both comedians, once Trump backers, slammed the former president in the same episode, with Von going as far as calling Trump a “terrorist.” Rogan admitted disbelief over the U.S. bombing Iran, confessing, “I’m confused. I can’t believe we went to this war.”
Theo’s Antidepressant Confession: A Tough “American” Reason
Amid the chaos, Rogan urged Theo to quit antidepressants. Von revealed he’s keen to ditch them and “feel how I’m supposed to feel.” He admitted he started taking them for a rough day at school and never stopped.
THEO VON: “One of my goals is to get off of antidepressants completely. I want to feel how I’m supposed to feel.” ROGAN: “So why did you take them in the first place?” THEO VON: “I was having a tough day at school and they f**king gave them to me, and I never got off.”
As the two old friends hash out politics, past drug use, and mental health, it’s clear their conversations are anything but dull — and they’re not afraid to ruffle feathers.
