Somewhere, there is a compilation video of Theo Von entertaining himself by seeing what level of transparent ridiculous nonsense he can spout and still have Joe Rogan go along with it, and it generally works every single time.

In general I don't agree with Rogan hate. He has all kinds of people on, and sometimes they say some nonsense which he then gets blamed for, but he's mostly just letting them air out whatever they want to say. He even pushed back a little on Trump, told him that he didn't think that people in Europe rake their forests to prevent forest fires, that kind of thing. But if you're deliberately trying to lie to him, it's not hard to do.

Edit: Found a good example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SasSXNjgWhI

I greatly enjoy Theo's subtle nod of victory when he says everyone thinks owls can read, and Joe Rogan says, "Yeah..."

Honestly my favorite thing is watching Theo spew absolute bs and people believing him. My only experience with Rogan is select clips like that with Theo making him believe total nonsense, if only for a moment

I think it's Theo's way of entertaining himself, and also checking whether the person he's talking to has a functioning brain in the conversation. He's been doing it to Rogan for years and as far as I know, Rogan has never passed the test.
