On Tuesday, while speaking with comedian Tom Papa on his podcast, host Joe Rogan admitted that when it came to wearing masks and citizens policing their own, “people lost their f**king minds”. The strong words from Rogan came as he and Papa were discussing what life was like over the past two years and watching the absurdity of it all. Rogan even admitted, “My favorite video was a lady with no mask screaming at a man to put a mask on. She was just a person on a plane. She wasn’t even a lady who worked for the airline.”

Describing the video, Rogan laughed, “She’s just screaming and then she smacks him in the head. She wound up getting arrested. But she was just, I don’t know if she was on drugs or what. Because one of the things that happened over the last year in a half, is that people really enjoyed telling you to put your mask on, because you kind of have to listen. And when someone says ‘put a mask on’ … [as he begrudgingly pretends to put one one] you have to. It’s a thing. You’re not wearing it and someone … you can’t say ‘f*** you.’ If you say f*** you, then you’re on YouTube and then it’s a real problem.”

Giving his take, Tom Papa recalled a story of his own. “The move I see at the gate all the time is older people, you know these poor people that can’t breathe without anything on their face. They’re struggling and the number of times I see them pull the mask down and cough into the air. And then put it back.”

Rogan also pointed out how he watched “jiu jitsu classes” where the people had to wear masks. “It’s the dumbest f***ing thing I’ve ever seen in my life. You’re breathing heavy, you’re on top of each other. You’re sweating on each other. You got a stupid surgical mask on, which doesn’t do a godda** thing.” He concluded, “People lost their f***ing minds. They lost their f***ing minds over the last two years.”
