Celebrity Endorsement Sparks Off-Label Cancer Drug Surge

A UCLA-led study finds cancer patients’ prescriptions for the off-label combo of ivermectin and fenbendazole surged more than 2.5 times after Mel Gibson’s January 2025 appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience, though there is no solid human evidence these drugs treat cancer. Increases were largest among men, White patients, and residents of the U.S. South; researchers caution that causation isn’t proven and unproven therapies could delay effective treatments, while some scientists note the drugs’ preclinical anti-cancer activity at doses not safe for humans. The study calls for careful communication and more research into potential harms and any true anti-cancer properties.

Strickland's battered shoulder powers historic UFC 328 upset

Sean Strickland revealed a severe, multi-part shoulder injury—Type 2 AC separation, extended SLAP tear, and partial rotator cuff tearing/tendinosis—that left him compromised before his upset win over Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 328, an issue he says began with a sparring session with Johnny Eblen. Joe Rogan noticed the problem from cageside and said Strickland fought with one arm; after medical consultation, Strickland shared the injury details publicly, highlighting how he still pulled off the win.

Celebrity Claims Spark Spike in Unproven Cancer Drugs

New research in JAMA Network Open finds a sharp rise in prescriptions of ivermectin and fenbendazole among cancer patients after Mel Gibson and Joe Rogan publicized anecdotal cures, despite no solid evidence of cancer benefit and fenbendazole not being approved for humans. The seven-month 2025 rate was about four per 100,000, roughly double 2024; clinicians caution that such use can delay proven therapies and cause toxicity or interactions. The uptick is linked to misinformation circulating on social media and podcasts, with the rise more pronounced among men, white patients, and in the U.S. South.

Rogan links Chimaev's weight cut and 205lb ambitions to UFC 328 fatigue

Sean Strickland pulled off a split-decision upset over Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 328 as the Chechen fatigued after the first two rounds; Joe Rogan suggested Chimaev's drastic 45-pound weight cut and a planned move to 205 pounds to potentially face Jiri Prochazka may have contributed to the fatigue, a theory discussed on the broadcast amid weigh-in controversy.

Rogan's 'insane take' on Chimaev-Strickland sparks fan backlash at UFC 328

After UFC 328's headline between Khamzat Chimaev and Sean Strickland ended with Strickland dethroning Chimaev, Rogan called it one of the division's greatest middleweight fights, triggering fan backlash over perceived hyperbole; many argued past middleweight classics were better, and while Strickland/Chimaev missed Fight of the Night, Joshua Van vs Tatsuro Taira earned the honor.

Rogan calls Comey indictment over seashell post 'nuts'

Joe Rogan criticized the Trump-era indictment of former FBI Director James Comey over a seashell photo reading '86 47,' calling the move 'nuts' and arguing the charges rest on a stretched interpretation of threats that could threaten First Amendment protections. Comey faces two counts related to alleged threats against Trump stemming from the 2025 post, though prosecutors say '86' can mean remove or get rid of rather than harm. Comey maintains the message was political and insists he is not guilty; the case follows other DOJ actions involving Comey and the FBI.

Rogan Splits From Trump as Iran War Sparks Rift

Rogan condemned the Iran war on his podcast, widening the rift with Trump after he was invited to stand behind the president at the Oval Office. He’s grown openly skeptical of the administration’s foreign policy and even called himself politically homeless as other MAGA figures break with Trump; the White House is reportedly trying to repair ties while Rogan remains influential yet more independent on policy and psychedelics advocacy.
