The format of the show is to review the prior weeks’ picks & then to announce each fight on the upcoming card, quickly commenting on which fights are hot, and which fights are not, based on relevancy to the sport as a whole. This format of “Caring” or “Not Caring” about each bout is geared to our listeners who consider themselves to be “Casual MMA Fans”. This effort is in the hopes that we can steer you towards fights that affect rankings, title contention, have significant meaning, or are sure to be “must see tv” fights; therefore saving you the tedium of watching every fight on every card – or perhaps missing out on something you might have otherwise skipped.

“I’m not trying to promote misinformation,” Rogan said. “I’m not trying to be controversial. I’ve never tried to do anything with this podcast other than just talk to people and have interesting conversations.”

UFC color commentator Joe Rogan, who parlayed his media success into the world’s No. 1 podcast, has been accused of spreading misinformation regarding the COVID-19 vaccine. In fact, several artists — like Grammy winners Joni Mitchell and Neil Young — have threatened to walk if Spotify continues to let Rogan run rampant.

“I’m not a doctor, I’m not a scientist, I’m just a person who sits down and talks to people and has conversations with them,” Rogan said. “Do I get things wrong? Absolutely. I get things wrong, but I try to correct them whenever I get something wrong. I’m interested in finding out what the truth is, and I’m interested in having interesting conversations with people that have differing opinions. I’m not interested in only talking to people that have one perspective.”

The outspoken Rogan was already taking significant heat from the LGBTQ community after several of his shows left Spotify’s transgender employees feeling “alienated and unwelcome” at the workplace, though it appears recent threats to strike have fallen on deaf ears.

“My pledge to you is that I will do my best to try to balance out these more controversial viewpoints with other people’s perspectives, so that we can maybe find a better point of view,” Rogan continued. “I don’t want to just show the contrary opinion to what the narrative is. I want to show all kinds of opinions so that we can all figure what’s going on. I do all the scheduling myself, and I don’t always get it right.”

Spotify has quietly removed certain episodes from the Rogan library, drawing cries of “censorship” from longtime listeners. That said, the former “Fear Factor” host is no stranger to apologies, having botched the narrative of the Portland fires back in late 2020.

“These podcasts are very strange because they’re just conversations, and oftentimes I have no idea what I’m going to talk about until I sit down to talk to people, and that’s why some of my ideas are not that prepared or fleshed out because I’m literally having them in real time,” Rogan said. “But I do my best. If I pissed you off, I’m sorry. And if you enjoyed the podcast, thank you. Thank you all the supporters and even thank you to the haters because it’s good to have some haters. It makes you reassess what you’re doing and put things into perspective and I think that’s good too.”

Perhaps there will come a time when Joe Rogan no longer “questions everything.”

“I wanted to do it the first time just for fun to have fun and then some people took it to another level and made it financial, and then the fun went out of it.”

Heavyweight legend Mike Tyson will not be returning to the boxing ring despite initial reports about a potential comeback against YouTube star Logan Paul.

Tyson, 55, revealed on a recent episode of the Nelk Boys podcast that he was offered ‘100 million bucks’ to fight again but says the money sucked the fun out of his comeback.

“You know something that’s interesting,” Tyson said (h/t Ryan Harkness of MMA Mania). “I think it was Jake, the youngest one.”

“I’m not even interested in doing this stuff,” he added. “It was just fun at first. If it was back when I first started, yes, and we were both fighting on the same card and both active, yeah, we could do it. But it just turned … it just turned bad. It didn’t turn out right.”

“Every, they say it’s 10, but it’s like every 12, or 13 months … boom, something’s missing,” Tyson said. “Like something’s missing. I give it to … boom, I’m losing muscle mass. Boom, it’s something. It’s always something different. And I don’t know, I’m just … guys want to fight me for 100 million bucks. I don’t think I’ll ever do stuff like that anymore.”

“I wanted to do it the first time just for fun to have fun and then some people took it to another level and made it financial, and then the fun went out of it.”

UFC president Dana White, who was also a guest on the podcast, then asserted that he didn’t want to see Tyson fight again, to which ‘Iron Mike’ responded: “I don’t think I will either. But you never know, again.”

Tyson later revealed his ongoing contract dispute with Triller was also part of the reason he didn’t want to fight again.

“But still a bunch of it is held up … I can’t even say anything about that,” Tyson said of Triller not paying him in full following the Roy Jones Jr. exhibition. “But yeah it was really tricky.”

“Yeah they should call them ‘Tricky’ instead of ‘Triller,’” White added.

Tyson was last seen in action on Nov. 28, 2020 when he fought Roy Jones Jr. to a split draw in an exhibition match at Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. He is considered by many to be one of the greatest heavyweight boxers of all time.
