He said:

"He goes...‘We’ll chat for about three hours.’ And I’m like, 'three hours? That’s kind of ridiculous... But they have this thing that kind of wants you there. It's like you have to sort of sign things, saying you're not going to leave till the chats over."

When asked who decided the length of each episode, Crowe replied:

"Joe. [The episode] is basically the length of a cigar." [H/t: Sky News]

Joe Rogan learns about history of U.S. internet censorship after Ukraine coup

Joe Rogan recently spoke to Mike Benz on the JRE podcast (JRE #2237), and the two discussed various topics during their conversation. During one segment of the show, Benz shared his views on the American internet censorship and how it was linked to the Ukraine and Donald Trump's 2016 election victory.

Speaking to Rogan about how NATO added "hybrid warfare" to their charter after the Ukraine coup, Benz said:

"It started in 2014 with the Ukraine coup and the counter-coup. In 2014, we had about 25 years of successful free-speech diplomacy, and then we successfully overthrew the government of Ukraine... But then the eastern side of Ukraine completely broke away, and they didn't respect this new U.S.-installed government. Crimea voted in a referendum to join the Russian Federation, which set in motion events that would end the concept of free speech diplomacy... NATO formally declared that it was no longer just about tanks, but it was about controlling tweets, and then Brexit happened in June 2016."

He continued:

"The very next month, NATO added hybrid warfare to its formal charter, basically authorizing the military, diplomatic sphere, and intelligence world to take control of social media. Then, five months later, Trump won the election while being called a Russian asset, so all that infrastructure was redirected home to the U.S."
