Kyle Kinane Side-Eyes Joe Rogan With Hilarious Explanation for Why Comedians Shouldn’t Give Medical Advice
Joe Rogan says that he’s not responsible for the unpleasant outcomes experienced by people who act on the ample and uninformed medical advice he doles out on The Joe Rogan Experience. Kyle Kinane could say the same for people who consult him on the topic of sunscreen.
In Rogan’s live stand-up special for Netflix, this past Saturday’s Burn the Boats, the most successful podcaster in history tripled-down on the excuse he’s been making ever since he started to use his massive platform to opine on issues of politics and public health — he’s not a scientist, he’s not a public servant, he’s just a professional bullshitter. Of course, Rogan’s rhetoric when discussing issues such as the rollout of the COVID vaccine on JRE would suggest otherwise, as Rogan consistently portrays himself as an anti-medical-establishment expert who knows all the truths about COVID and COVID treatment that Big Pharma hoped would stay secret while they injected the unsuspecting American citizenry with microchips and DNA scramblers.
Still, the official company line, as reiterated by the comedy mega-star on Saturday, is that Rogan is not a doctor, and he’s also not responsible for what ill fate befalls any of his millions of followers who treat him like one. Said Rogan in Burn the Boats after spending the last three years giving out mass medical consultations, “If you’re getting your vaccine advice from me, is that really my fault? That’s not my job, kids. I’m a professional shit-talker. Some of the things I say make sense. A lot of them don’t. It’s up to you to figure out what’s what. That’s the fun part.”

On the other hand, Kyle Kinane, who once described himself as “a stand-up comedian who will never be on the Joe Rogan radio hour. WE EXIST,” came forward on Monday to reiterate his much stronger stance on the comedian’s place in the medical community, imploring stand-up fans to think critically about whom they trust to provide scientific data — especially if it’s “the man on the podcast.”
Kinane’s timely repost comes from his September 2023 special Shocks and Struts, which, though it wasn’t streamed live, contained significantly less complaining about cancel culture and virtually no political claims that require a write-up by Snopes. And, honestly, Kinane’s non-advice is more medically sound than anything Rogan has ever uttered. Sooner or later, a peer-reviewed study will definitively prove that beet-red men with shoulders that look like French bread pizzas give the shittiest medical tips — and when that day comes, there will finally be a scientific consensus confirming that Rogan’s medical advice is about as reliable as his shampoo recommendation.
