Timcast IRL #434 - Joe Rogan CANCELS Sold Out Show Over Vaccine Mandate w/Marc Lobliner
Episode Recap
Timcast IRL episode 434, recorded on December 28, 2021, opened with Tim Pool discussing Joe Rogan's decision to cancel his sold-out Vancouver comedy show due to Canada's vaccine mandates. Pool emphasized that his news team performed actual journalism by verifying the cancellation through Ticketmaster, confirming the event had been officially canceled and refunds would be issued automatically. The conversation then shifted to Dr. Anthony Fauci's suggestion that vaccine mandates for domestic air travel should be considered, and President Joe Biden's acknowledgment that there is no federal solution to COVID-19. The co-hosts discussed the peculiar timing between Christmas and New Year's when, as Pool noted, 'nobody wants to work' and 'is anything even happening.' Additional topics included Airbnb's enforcement against New Year's Eve parties, hospitals struggling with Omicron variant cases, and general COVID policy frustrations. Marc Lobliner, CEO of MTS Nutrition, joined as the guest to discuss these matters from a fitness industry perspective, touching on his business ventures and the intersection of health, government overreach, and personal freedom.
