Joe Rogan and Dwayne Johnson's take on social media
Johnson debuted on the JRE podcast for the first time. Joe Rogan, a pundit and Hollywood celebrity, talked about social media toxicity in this episode.
“There’s so much f****ng noise, so much bulls***, so much toxicity. So, it’s just out there all the time and you’re right. It’s that kind of balancing and training gives you the leg up to swap the bull**** away,” Johnson said.
Meanwhile, Rogan said, "“The bulls*** today is fascinating because it’s social media bulls***, it’s a different bulls*** than people have ever experienced in all of human history. These people that you don’t know chiming in about everything."
He added, "The good part of that is there’s a sharing of ideas, and there’s a way of communicating that never existed before, and people learning so much more about things than ever before. Social media allows people to break news stories long before mainstream media. It allows people to tell you about fascinating stories that maybe you would have never heard of."
