We are closer to Bradbury’s dystopia than Orwell’s or Huxley’s

I was a fan of Joe Rogan going back to News Radio. The thing that turned me off him was seeing a clip where he's hanging out with this other comedian (I forget the guy's name) who is boasting about how he used to deny female comedians stage time at a comedy club he managed unless they gave him a blowjob. Rogan's laughing at this in the clip. That's "genuinely creepy" in my view.

I wouldn't say I'm a fan, frankly I do not understand how people can sit through 3 hour interviews. He's just clearly a nice guy who means well, he's not dangerous or extreme, and his vibe is very anti-establishment.

That's a bit, it didn't actually happen, like most bits that comedians perform.

I'd love to believe that, I'd be glad to find out I was mistaken. Do you have a link to, like, a video of Joe Rogan or Joey Diaz (I looked it up) saying that it was a bit? The search results I'm getting are all media outrage pieces.
