About
What this is
An evidence log for the Joe Rogan Experience. Episodes run three hours, several times a week, and carry dozens of factual claims, many made by people with something to sell. Only the claims that go viral ever get checked. This site logs the rest.
Every entry is a receipt: the exact quote, a timestamp link to the moment it was said, a plain-English summary of what published evidence shows, numbered sources, and, where a direct, sourced financial interest exists, who benefits from the claim being believed. No verdict badges, no ratings.
How receipts are built
- Quotes are short, timestamped excerpts checked word-for-word against the episode video before publication. Speaker attribution is verified against the video for every published claim.
- Evidence favors peer-reviewed studies, systematic reviews, government data, and regulatory filings; reputable journalism and expert-body statements second. Blogs and social posts are excluded.
- “Who benefits” statements are sourced facts (product launches, listings, filings), never speculation. When no direct, sourced link exists, the section is omitted entirely.
Corrections policy
Published claims keep a full edit history. Any substantive change (one that alters the quote, the evidence summary, the sources, or a who-benefits statement) is disclosed in a dated correction note on the claim page itself. Corrections are never silent.
Disputes
If you are the speaker of a published claim (or represent them) and believe a receipt is wrong (misquoted, misattributed, or missing context), email corrections@factcheckjoerogan.com with the claim link and the specific issue. Disputes with sources are reviewed first, and corrections are published under the policy above.
Affiliation
