Rogan spent several minutes ranting about the story before his producer told him that he couldn't find it anywhere, and then Rogan had to admit that it was probably fake. But his guest decided to just roll with it in a disturbing way, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

A few days ago, Joe Rogan decided to go on a tear about a horrible piece of legislation coming from Australia that would actually ban people from growing their own food. Now, how horrible is that? Right? Joe Rogan absolutely was tearing into these people for being so oppressive until of course he realized that the whole thing was absolutely fake. So before giving too much away, take a look at Joe Rogan and this slow realization that he was spreading fake news. Here's the clip.

Ah, it was a part of Australia. I think it was new south Wales. Someone was trying to pass a law that won't allow you to grow your own food. Oh my. And they were saying, whoa, you could grow your own food. And what else? The disease was from your food. It infects, the population kills us off. Oh, we pulled can have that. Oh, they pulled that back. They got a good grip on people during the pandemic. They locked everybody down in Australia. And then, you know what? We're gonna stop these when raw their own food. Cuz that's how you smoke out on anti-vaxer. Yeah. Make, make you can't even grow, go to the grocery store anymore and you can't grow your food. No dependent take that shot

It's close.

New Zealand is like right

Around the corner. Could have, um, there's

Got, it's gotta be a real thing. It seems too good to not be

It's it's obviously, um,

Tyson outlaw growing food in Australia and nothing. Not a single thing comes up.

Hmm. Hold on.

Except for that, which was a false thing.

Growing your own food.

They want, they want us completely dependent.

Yeah. I can't find it either.

Better not be fake. Mm-hmm it might be fake,

But that even if it's fake, right? Like the fake is usually the warning

Okay. So he starts off mocking him, right? Like, Ooh, do do do. Okay. Yeah, sure. If it was real, I could understand that. But then he goes into the weird, like, this is how you get people to get the shot. No, you're you're kind of apples and oranges there. That's that's not a thing. Not exactly sure why you wanna bring that up. But of course, you know, you've, you've grown huge. Uh, you were huge before it, but you've grown even bigger going into the whole anti-vax crap too there, but then your guest, right, Brian Sharp is like, well, I mean, even if it's fake, the fake is usually a warning. No, you're an idiot. You're an absolute blithering idiot. And you know, thank God Joe Rogan's producer sitting there like yeah. Uh, I, I can't, I can't find it anywhere then Rogan's like, all right, let me find, oh man, I, oh.

It's fake. Like you were mad that it was fake. Why were you upset that this thing you didn't like anyway, turned out to not be real. You should have been relieved, like, oh good, thank goodness. This isn't actually a thing that's happening. Instead. You were mad, but Joe, let me tell you something, cuz I've actually been in this business longer than you. I know you're far more successful than I am, but let me give you a little tip here. Since you seem to have trouble with this, you don't fact check things after you say them, right? That that's part of the legwork that goes into producing a show before it goes on the air. You don't do it after the fact. I mean, Hey, at least you admitted that it was fake on the air.
