Two Trump-voting mega podcasters fighting it out in public

Two of the most influential pro-Trump voices in the podcasting world are airing their grievances in public, after Joe Rogan voiced alarm about fellow comedian Theo Von's mental health — only for Von to fire back that Rogan was full of it.

On a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan grew somber as he discussed Von's behavior since starting SSRIs, telling listeners his friend's recent comments about suicide had rattled him.

"Theo Von's going through the exact same thing, and last time he was on the podcast he was explaining it to me," Rogan said. "It freaks me out because I know Theo has had conversations before — like even publicly."

Rogan recounted a Netflix taping that he said never aired because Von "bombed," describing it as "kind of a breakdown." He claimed Von told the crowd, "Thank you. Look, I'm just trying not to take my own life."

"And like you hear stuff like that and you just go like, oh, Jesus Christ," Rogan said. "I've known too many people that I didn't think were going to kill themselves and then did."

Rogan added that Von "goes down these spirals where he starts talking about world events and freaking out," prompting him to think, "I got to help this dude."

Von wasn't having it. The comedian fired back on X with a blue cap emoji — internet shorthand for calling someone a liar.

"This is mostly [cap]," Von told his 1.7 million followers. "Sad to see this kinda stuff. Im doing great. Im a human being which is a rocky ride. But im doing fine thanks."
