Joe Rogan Apologizes For Losing His Cool On Podcast

UFC commentator Joe Rogan got into a heated debate on the latest edition of his podcast, which he has since apologized for.

Well, this one went off the rails for a while. First of all, I genuinely like Steven as a person, and although I might not agree with him about everything I think he's a good man. During the podcast we got into the subject of marijuana and by that time we (especially me) were quite a bit drunk and didn't exactly handle the conversation really well. Steven gets attacked online quite a bit, and it certainly wasn't my intention to have him on my show to argue with him. At the beginning of the show it seemed to me that we weren't being conversational as much as we were going off talking points so I suggested a few drinks as a social lubricant. We disagreed about weed, and judging by my personal level of regret after his reaction I'm sure I fucked up. I take 100% responsibility for it going off the rails, and I'm truly sorry if it upset any of you that listened to it or watched it. We managed to pull it back together at the end, but of course the shitty parts are all you or I will focus on for a while. My humblest and most heartfelt apologies. I do my best with these things but I, like all of us, am flawed.

On Thursday, Rogan posted a public apology to his guest, Steven Crowder, over the way he acted on his show.

Crowder is a conservative, political commentator, and hosts his own website and podcast. Rogan and Crowder got into a heated debate on the topic of marijuana. Crowder became frustrated when Rogan’s co-host began bringing up information he found online to help prove him wrong. Crowder took this as the two ganging up on him and didn’t think that was fair.

The argument intensified when Crowder called Rogan a bully. He called Rogan a bully because the comedian would call Crowder, honey, sweetie, and different types of expletives.

Rogan apologized for his actions and says part of the way he acted was due to him being drunk. The two were smoking pipes and drinking throughout the four-hour podcast.
