Ep.159 - Joe Rogan, Fight Club & Mason Greenwood
On Ep.159 of WG: Joe Rogan is Spotify Teflon, the forgotten victims of the Holocaust, China changes the ending to "Fight Club" and the wider culture of sexual assault in sports.
In a week where:
- Rafael Nadal wins The Australian Open, taking his total Major tally to a record-breaking 21.
- Manchester United's Mason Greenwood is accused of rape and assault.
- Cincinnati Bengals will face the LA Rams in the Super Bowl.
- Sue Gray finally drops the 'Partygate' report.
- Sony acquires Bungie for $3.6 Billion.
In Music: (6:31) The Spotify/Joe Rogan relationship has been tested recently but like most relationships worth $100M, that bond is tougher than long-settled gorilla glue.
In History: (20:10) We're all aware of the Holocaust, but somehow, the death of over 10,000 people of African descent has been largely forgotten about, including many Black Germans who haven't been given any form of reparations.
In Film/TV: (34:45) China, in all their glory, thought it'd be worth changing the ending to "Fight Club", an over 20-year-old film where many people are fully aware of the ending.
Lastly, in Sports: (46:16) With the recent arrest (& now bail) of Mason Greenwood, it's worth thinking about the culture of protecting popular figures in sports and the weird urge people have to cape for them.
