FDA Announcement Reveals Joe Rogan is a Snake Oil Salesman

47  2016-07-06 by 867-5309-

Joe Rogan, an actor who guest starred on a 2002 episode of Just Shoot Me!, a podcast host and "comedian" also fashions himself a health & nutrition expert. However today's FDA announcement Warning Against Whole Body Cryotherapy, Finds No Proof It Really Works is just more proof that Joe Rogan is nothing more than a snake oil salesman pushing fake elixirs on his audience which do nothing more than help grow the number of zeroes in Rogan's bank account.

In a world where one cannot call Big Amy a joke thief without suffering the backlash of an unstable coke head who looks like Nosferatu, take pride in the fact that we can still call Joe Rogan what he is: Snake Oil Salesman.

Say what you want but Alpha Brain is legit brothaman, Rogan said so.

Double blind placebo walla walla bing bang.

walla walla bing bang.

Don't you mean "dolla dolla bills y'all"?

Downvote me into oblivion if you want but guys like Wim Hof are proving how beneficial cold can be for the body.

Don't call me a fan of Rogan though. I only listen when someone interesting is on....then of course, I get mad as fuck when Rogan has to school THEM on their area of expertise.

...also, since fucking when do we pretend that the FDA is the source of anything truthful?

Since when do we trust HGH head on anything?

What then, pray tell, is the FDA conspiring for or against?

Edit: as always go to the nih...where the science happens (or doesn't in this case).

As long as you commit to it you GOTTA commit to it

buckle up bitches

I don't think Rogan is a fraud though. I think he sincerely believes stupid shit.

He's like a woman in the sense that if he emotionally wants something to be true, he'll believe it, which is why he always tweets shit like "Scientists discover that cavemen may have been the first to synthesise LSD!". (Even after terror events like Paris or Orlando, you could go to his Twitter and that's ALL he'd be talking about. Way to be relevant Joe.)

He believes things he likes the sound of/the idea of. He likes the idea that cryotherapy heals you, or that the plant ingredients in Onnit have special effects, so he believes it and spreads it.

Joe is a harmless doofus. He's sincere about his nonsense and most of the shit he espouses he has used on his own body.

Call him a fool, but he is not a fraud. If you fall for this stuff you're as stupid as he is.

Dude's gotta get off of the weed.

Seriously? What about drinking?

Yes please, that would be lovely.

Hahaha I don't fucking know

Dont blame weed for Rogan. He was even more of an idiot before he started smoking.

That's a good excuse if he ain't making bank with his snake oil

well so much of the shit he says and reads about absolutely bears no financial fruit for him. he definitely just finds it interesting and loves the ideas. he gravitates towards those subjects and ignores all other sources.

Isn't it all the same category? Butter coffee, warrior jerky, gorilla bell, use the codeword joe420 at check out

He had been saying pocket pussy light the best invention ever, the second they dropped him he don't even mention it ever again

He's not dumb. I had a teacher once call it the "curse of the autodidact". He believes everything he reads. It's laudable that he reads so much but he just seeks out stuff he's interested in from viewpoints he agrees with.

I think he sincerely believes stupid shit.

Is it surprising, the little guy believes Bigfoot is real and the moon-landing was fake.

joe rogan literally drinks his own piss. did you really need the FDA to confirm he's a fucking retard?

Does he have any financial investment in cryo chambers? Or is it just some shit he talks about alot because he thinks it makes him feel better? And that FDA warning you linked is meaningless. It basically says you have to wait for the government to tell you whether something is good or bad. At this time, the government doesn't know whether it's good or bad, so you've now been warned that the government doesn't know. That's all it says. It's basically a CYA memo that says don't sue us if cryo is horseshit because we don't know whether it's good or bad.

Based on his history of recommending/pushing various elixirs on his audience that eventually are revealed to be made by companies which he has significant financial investment; whenever Rogan pushes a new product or service really hard to try to create a buzz about it, I'm skeptical -- Especially when, in most cases, the product or service Rogan is evangelizing is scientifically unproven. Joe's own questionable actions created this skepticism, not wild speculation.

And the government still says eat sugar instead of fat. Who ya gonna believe...

One of the funniest examples of this is how Rogan used to always talk about Steven Pinker and he said a few times he was going to get him on the podcast, one of Rogan's fans asked Pinker on twitter why he hadn't done it yet and he revealed that all communication with Rogan had ceased when he presented him with evidence that his fake supplements didn't actually work.

Yeah that's a real knee-slapper.

Really? I didn't laugh at all.

I'm howling.

Oh literal Lyle Chipperson.

Funnily enough I just checked his account and Steven Pinker doesn't respond to anyone on Twitter about anything, you just made that shitty story up.

Nope. It was posted in JoRogan2 before it got shut down.

I wasted 10 mins looking for it, he never responds to anybody on twitter, it's just retweets and links to articles. There's also no evidence of his response anywhere else online. It never happened.

Definitely happened.

I knew it!

you mean I shouldn't eat 5lbs of onnit stuff everyday???

In addition to avoiding eating 5lbs of placebo Onnit daily, according to the FDA you would be wise to avoid spending hundreds of dollars weekly to get naked in a -130 degree chamber because a guy who is a midget in 34 States says how well it works for him...

Sounds like the FDA is full of plebs who can't afford the Total Primate Care package if you ask me.

"Total primate care package" tell me you made that up! If that's a real thing I'm walking out my third story window

https://www.onnit.com/total-primate-care/

$110 (USD) for a 30 day supply.

😳

BaBye

Will be looking for you in the obituaries brotherman

Steve Austin hocks that cryo shit too. It just sounds like a huge scam.

I know for a fact that shit works because STONE COLD SAID SO.

AND THAT'S ALL I GOT TO SAY ABOUT THAT.

[deleted]

Swig a' beer for the Cryo gimmick

If you want STONE COLD to get in a cryo chamber then get outta this SUNBITCH and drive on over to stomp a mudhole dry in Michelanvalo's ASSSSSss. Then GIMME A HELL YEAH.

Rogan is a fungal parasite.

What about the dollar shave club? Is that not legit either?

That seems like a pretty good deal. I'd sign up but I don't have to shave that often cause I'm a liberal cuck

[deleted]

The FDA has not made public comment on the Dollar Shave Club. However I question the legitimacy of any company that would allow him to promote their product.

Allow him? Fuck, they pay him. You gotta advertise where the people are.

Pretty sure the rube Jim Norton did this

Just took a look around the Onnit website, Alpha Brain has Vit B6, amino acids, green tea extracts etc. New Mood is St Johns Wort, Vit B6, niacin and amino acids. Shroom Tech is Vit B12, green tea leaf and chromium. Other than that they sell kettlebells and crap like coconut oil and coffee beans.

I get that people hate Rogan, but as far as supplements go the Onnit shit is no different than what you'll find in any health store, not sure why people get so butthurt about it.

I think this guy is just but hurt because Rogan probably reminds him of someone who used to beat him up or of someone who was banging the boy he had a crush on.

Rogan made countless false claims about his elixirs and said they claims were supported by clinical studies [they weren't]. And also this: https://www.reddit.com/r/JoeRogan/comments/1xxopd/here_are_the_results_from_the_alpha_brain/

Samcro, Derosa, Rogan. There are too many Joes in this universe and they all stink.

tss Joe Mommas cooter stinks or somethin

You don't understand, man. It's a giant conspiracy to hide the truth from the real thinking people of the world, who just all happen to be giant potheads.

I'm partial to the Alex Jones Patriot Pack of Freedom Pills....fortified with neuro enhancing goodness that allows me to see the tyranny of my government...while also making my shits a one-wipe affair.

Fucking Onnit niggaz.

And because most of my fanbase are illiterate steroid using meatheads, wannabe MMA fighters and stoners, none of which finished High school, I will spell it out, thats O-N-N-I-T

If you take this pill, it will turn you into Lucy.

In other news, water is wet.

I'm not defending Rogan but as far as I know, he doesn't recommend cryotherapy to anyone. He started doing it because well known athletes were doing it and claimed it helped them. I think he's fully aware that his listeners don't have the money for that shit.

There aren't many more vocal and prominent evangelists of cryotherapy than Joe Rogan.

I haven't listened in a while so you're probably right. He was never above recommending float tanks to his listeners from his buddies company at 6-8grand a pop, now that I think of it.

Why does he recommend cryotherapy? I know that athletes take ice water baths after heavy workouts to help their muscles heal faster, is it the same kinda thing?

It wouldn't really shock me if he was claiming actual snake oil gave you a great body high.

He's not a huckster, he's just dumb.

Rogan is the poor mans Alex jones

Alex Jones is a poor man's Alex Jones

at least he's got all that hilarious stand-up material to fall back on

Step right up, folks, and witness the magnificent medicinal miracle of Joe Rogan's patented revitalizing Whole Body Cryotherapyyy. Put some ardor in your larder with our energizing, moisturizing, tantalizing, romanticizing, surprising, her-prizing, revitalizing Whole Body Cryotherapyyyy!

bravo.

you didn't know this already ?

Well, no shit.

I know a ton of MMA fighters and athletes including Kobe Bryant use it too. Rogan doesn't profit off cryo so this is dumb

I know a ton of MMA fighters and athletes including Kobe Bryant use it too.

Personally?

No. Interviewally. What the fuck are you on about, son?

Gotta be honest, I really don't think Rogan fashions himself a "health & nutrition expert"

Gotta be honest, I'm having a hard time believing you've ever heard Joe Rogan's podcast...

yeah you gotta listen more, he does spew a LOT of stuff with very rare drop of "what do I know / I'm just an idiot" mentioned. From brain trauma to nutrition he covers it weekly.

I don't trust the fda. I've been putting ice on my bo-bo's for years with great results. I also recommend adhesive strip therapy. It's amazing what simple bandaids can do for owies. Don't let the pawns of big pharma fuck with your heads primates!!!

Why would you believe the fda? Someone sure isn't taking their alpha brain

in related news.... the sky is fucking BLUE

(it needed the money)

At least credit him newsradio. That show is awesome

Is he selling Cryotherapy?

He converted his float tank in to a cryochamber.

why would anyone get a kettle bell with a face on it ? is it supposed to make me pull harder while doing one arm raises or something ? mongs will buy anything

All that article says is the results have not been proven, not that they have been proven not to exist.

I hope someone sues Joe after having their brain leak out their nose.

Rogan Watch is among us.

If you decide to try WBC, know that the FDA has not cleared or approved any of these devices for medical treatment of any specific medical conditions. The FDA is also concerned that patients who opt for WBC treatment—especially in place of treatment options with established safety and effectiveness—may experience a lack of improvement or a worsening of their medical conditions.

It's the same with vitamins. Look on every bottle of vitamins. FDA does not approve. Talk to your doctor about taking vitamins--especially if you're pregnant, they say definitely take them--and they will say no harm, it may help, but you can get vitamins and minerals elsewhere, which is very different from "vitamins don't work."

I don't think I've ever heard Joe Rogan say it cures any of the ailments that the FDA says the WBC doesn't cure. He's only said it helps him train and he feels great and energized after it.

The typically only says whether a drugs claims are valid for particular ailments. They may also exercise is not a cure for a lot of things. That doesn't mean you shouldn't exercise.

I've never bough an Onnit product but I'm fairly certain Rogan doesn't sell cryotherapy. He just talks about it.

Fuck off with your Simpsons shit! It's super autistic.

Alpha brain works for me.
Haven't really tried anything else he recommends.

Seriously? Is it like the movie Limitless?

That shit made me nervous as fuck. My ex girlfriend bought it for me right as she broke up with me so maybe I was just in a bad place. She has saggy titties.

This stuff actually works, not to scale of what you saw in Limitless but deffinitely enhances you.

placebos work too

not as good as this

yes. and your peckah gets bigger too

Doesn't a snake oil salesman... uh... sell the snake oil? Joe Rogan has a supplement company but (to my knowledge) isn't in the cryotherapy business.

I simply don't know how you're being downvoted when this is just true.

Does Rogan profit off Cryotherapy? I know hes got some ownership in the Onnit nonsense but does he also profit off this?

Next you're gonna say that smoking pot isn't good for you either!

Lay off Rogan. He's not SJWing up things and is still relatively interesting sometimes.

Yeah that's a real knee-slapper.
