Joe Rogan shares blunt 4-word warning on common food staple
As pretty much everyone knows, Joe Rogan is one of the most famous podcasters in the U.S. Rogan has 14.5 million followers on Spotify, which recently paid him $250 million to renew his contract. He also has a large following on YouTube and other social media channels. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Rogan uses his platform to discuss a wide range of topics, from Ultimate Fighting Championship events to politics to comedy and current events. Rogan also provides fitness tips, as well as science and health advice – although there have been controversies in the past as to whether this advice was solid, especially during Covid. Now, Rogan has taken on another topic that matters a great deal to Americans: the quality and nutritional value of their food. The subject arose on The Joe Rogan Experience when Rogan was talking with Jim Norton, a comedian who appeared on his show in episode #2342 on June 25, 2025. Rogan had some very firm opinions on the subject, which he shared with his audience in order to warn them about what he sees as the dangers of a food most people have in their pantries on a regular basis. Image source: NBCUniversal via Getty Images The food that Rogan was so passionate about is one you wouldn't necessarily expect to prompt such strong emotions, but the Podcast host had a lot to say about a basic staple: bread. Norton and Rogan were discussing the differences between Europeans and Americans. Norton said he believes that differences in the quality of bread explain why Americans often feel tired and unwell after eating it, when Europeans don't. Related: Joe Rogan has blunt 6-word solution to Make America Great Again Norton described bread as "poison," and Rogan not only agreed but also had a video ready to share on the subject, which he said came from another comedian, Brian Simpson. (Apparently, bread is a hot topic among the country's comedians.) "Simpson sent me this and he said, 'I think I'm done with bread,' and I was my God, this is kind of crazy," Rogan said. The video, which Rogan played in full for his audience, explained some of the "problems" with our bread. It also prompted Rogan to issue a blunt four-word warning: "Stay away from bread." Rogan did make an exception for sourdough, though, which he believes is OK, and he also said that "It won't matter if it's World War 3, but if it's not World War 3, stay away." The video Simpson sent was created by Dennis Echelbarger, who explained the following: "About 200 years ago, we started stripping the bran and germ of the fiber in nutrients to make flour shelf stable, also nutritionally dead. Because the nutrients were gone, we enriched it with folic acid, which a large majority of the population can't even metabolize; therefore, many people experience fatigue, anxiety, hyperactivity, and inflammation." Related: Joe Rogan takes two-word shot at long-time enemy The video went on to claim that we then had to bleach bread with chlorine gas because it wasn't white enough, and had to add a carcinogen called potassium bromate because it didn't rise enough, even though potassium bromate is banned in other countries. And, the video said that the use of glyphosate to ramp up wheat production also caused endocrine disruption. The result, as Echelbarger explained in the video? "Now you're bloated, brain fogged, tired, and blaming gluten. But gluten is just the scapegoat. The real issue is ultra-processed, chemically altered, bleached, bromated, fake vitamin-filled wheat soaked in glyphosate. This isn't bread."

These claims were not officially fact-checked, and there are no links to peer-reviewed science. So those who do want to keep bread in their diet should do their own research, as the quality and nutritional value of various breads can vary greatly.

‘Chivalry is dead': What men just aren't doing anymore
Is Chivalry dead? After a grown man practically trampled me to get on the bus recently, I'd be inclined to say yes. He was in a suit and fun socks (boring finance bros tend to think quirky socks make them look fun), and he was on the verge of elbowing me to get a seat. I was unnerved by his rugby scrum approach to public transport, it was a bit much for 8 a.m. and buses come every 10 minutes – but I wasn't shocked It wasn't very chivalrous, but is that even a thing anymore? Is men letting women go first on public transport a dead concept? Did it die when we started advocating for fair pay and the rights to our bodies? Is the price of equality that men just aren't that polite anymore? I want equal pay and men to follow the Titanic rule of women and children first. 3 In modern times, chivalry refers to being polite and showing kind, respectful behavior, usually towards women. Dusan Petkovic – Not that you're asking for a history lesson, but to catch you up, the word chivalry originated in the Middle Ages, and primarily referred to the code of conduct for knights. In modern times, it refers to being polite and showing kind, respectful behavior, usually towards women. Such as holding the door open, allowing women to enter rooms first, and men offering to give up their seats on public transport. Does that still exist in 2025 though? Or is it a social normal we've outgrown? When hit Sydney's streets to get answers, the response was fairly divided by gender. In general, men claimed chivalry still exists, and most women admitted they didn't see enough of it anymore – if at all. 'I definitely think chivalry is dead. I think the attitude of men in general just isn't great,' one woman proclaimed. 'I think so yeah. I don't see it as often as I should,' another woman echoed. One young woman in a funky hat said she didn't think it was dead but conceded it is definitely 'changing.' What does chivalry look like to her in 2025? Well, less holding open on doors, and more making someone a Spotify playlist. Men, on the other hand, think chivalry is still a thing. 'I think it is still there and I think it should still exist,' one young man argued, but then admitted that it had morphed. 3 In general, men claimed chivalry still exists, and most women admitted they didn't see enough of it anymore – if at all. Pixel-Shot – 'Compared to how our parents saw it, it is not where it used to be,' he added. Meanwhile, two young men responded with a firm and concise 'no' when asked if they thought chivalry was dead. There were also quite a few men that declined to be filmed that admitted they thought chivalry was alive and well, so there's clearly a disconnect between men and women on the subject. Men think they are being chivalrous, but women say they just aren't seeing it in their daily lives or, if they are witnessing it, they're certainly not seeing enough of it. It fascinates me that we've achieved men not opening doors for women far faster than we've achieved equal pay. 3 One young woman in a funky hat said she didn't think chivalry was dead but conceded it is definitely 'changing.' InfiniteFlow – In Australia, there's still a stark 12.1 per cent gender pay gap. The conversation about chivalry is clearly part of the cultural Zeitgeist at the moment. A woman in the UK posted a video of herself standing on the train and then filmed a bunch of men sitting while she stood and it amassed millions of views. She set the clip to Lorde's song 'Man of the Year', which is being used on TikTok at the moment to call out poor behaviour from men. People online were divided over the clip. Many saw nothing wrong with men not standing up for women, suggesting that chivalry isn't a thing anymore. 'I'm confused- are you pregnant? Disabled? Injured? If you aren't, and they got there first, are total strangers, they don't owe you a seat,' one person said. 'What's the issue here?' another asked. 'Men don't owe women anything,' someone else argued. However, there were others who claimed the video was proof that 'chivalry is dead.' 'And they push you out of the way to get the seats too,' another said. One woman claimed: 'When I was pregnant the same thing happened. Only old ladies would offer to give up the seat.' The chivalry debate certainly isn't settled, and at this point, I'd just settle for a grown man not elbowing me to get a better seat on the bus.

Tackling a wicked problem: How Cincinnati leaders changed the odds for hundreds of babies
