Joe Rogan mocks ‘The View’ after co-host Joy Behar jokes he believes in ‘dragons’

Podcast host Joe Rogan mocked “The View” by changing his description on social media after they claimed he believes in dragons.

“The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg opened a segment Thursday discussing a recent poll showing that many young Americans get their news from social media influencers who lean toward the political right.

Co-host Sara Haines responded with a PSA asking viewers to be skeptical, especially in this age of misinformation and AI, and that “when you see something that really makes you angry, you should triple check it.”

“I think that’s why people love our show,” co-host Joy Behar replied.

“Because they know we’re controlled by ABC News.”

“We’re controlled by everybody,” Goldberg agreed.

“Yes. If we’re wrong, we have, you know, the legal note here,” Behar added, referring to co-host Sunny Hostin’s legal background.

Behar went on to complain that as a country, “we went from Walter Cronkite, basically, to this guy Joe Rogan who believes in dragons. I checked.”

“Do you have triple source that?” Haines asked.

“Yes I did,” Behar replied.

“And he also thinks that they – dragon-like dinosaur-type animals – roamed the Earth when humans did. So that’s some really, really bad information that’s getting out there. But it’s possible that Donald Trump walked the Earth when the dinosaurs were here.”

The podcaster responded by sharing a video of the conversation and wrote, “This is my new official X description.”

His bio/description on Platform X, at the time of this writing, says, “Dragon Faithful”.

Rogan, who speaks to a wide range of guests about mainstream issues and esoteric theories, has talked about dragons many times on his podcast.

Noting that stories about dragons are something found in many cultures around the world, he talked to several guests about whether they were based on a large reptilian creature or a late-surviving pterodactyl that didn’t necessarily breathe fire like the dragons of myth. .

In one episode, Rogan recalled when a past guest, adventurer Forrest Galante, mentioned a theory that the creature dragons were based on had hollow bones like modern birds, and therefore “if there were lizards big enough to fly around and eating people, they didn’t have bones that could be fossilized.”

“It’s so possible that something that flew like a pterodactyl, as we think of pterodactyls as bat wings, maybe they had feathers, maybe it was a giant [sic] bird of prey and maybe some of those things looked like dragons,” he told a later guest, later adding, “Think about all these different cultures, ancient Europe, medieval Europe, China, Japan, they all had dragons , there are so many dragons. , it might have been a real thing, and I think most of them didn’t even have fire-breathing dragons, I think it was like a Hollywood movie Godzilla kind of deal.”
