Men Are Up In Arms After Reneé Rapp Hilariously Admits She Has No Idea Who Joe Rogan Is

The Mean Girls star admitted on the Call Her Daddy podcast that she's "not sure" who the popular podcaster is—and Rogan's fans are up in arms.

In a recent interview with Alex Cooper for the podcast Call Her Daddy, actor, singer, and songwriter Reneé Rapp admitted she didn't know who an extremely popular right-wing figure was.

Maybe it's a generational thing, as Rapp is only 25 years old. The person she didn't know was 58-year-old Joe Rogan.


Once known as a stand-up comedian and occasional actor by Boomers and GenXers, Rogan transformed himself into a UFC personality and podcaster popular with the men's rights, alpha male, incel, White nationalist, QAnon, anti-vaxxer, MAGA, and general alt-right movements populated by the older generations and Millennials.

Unlike right-wing personalities Charlie Kirk or Ben Shapiro, Rogan is rarely the one pushing the rhetoric. His appeal arose largely from his choices in guests and topics, letting each extremist movement and multiple age groups claim him as their own, without him ever specifically embracing any of them.

So when Rapp, a member of Gen Z, seemingly dissed their guy....

In the interview, host Cooper asked:

"What would you do if you were forced to have dinner with a straight, White man whose personality revolved around Joe Rogan being his religion?"

Rapp responded:

"I need you to tell me something. Who the f*ck is Joe Rogan?"
"Because I saw a TikTok using his name today, and I was like, 'What is that?'"

Rapp added:

"And that was not the first time I'd heard this name. But I'm not sure who that is."
"He’s not in 'Oceans 11.' Who is this?"

Cooper laughed and confirmed Rogan hadn't appeared in the George Clooney and Brad Pitt-led, star-studded film.

She asked Rapp:

"Have you ever watched 'Fear Factor'? Do you know what the UFC is?"

Rapp replied:

"He’s a fighter? He’s my height. I guess you don’t have to be tall to be a fighter."

Cooper decided to move on, since without an understanding of what the worship of Joe Rogan represented, Rapp couldn't answer the original question.

Some found Rapp's answer amusing.


But for those who do view Rogan's podcast as their religion, Rapp's response bordered on blasphemy.

They lashed out in the comments on social media.

And some decided Cooper's original question to Rapp was a sign of their own "oppression."

The careers of both Rapp and Rogan will surely survive this incident.

Jury is still out on Rogan's traumatized fans.

Trump's Truth Social Platform Has A New AI Tool—And Trump's Not Gonna Like What It Has To Say

President Donald Trump regularly uses his social media platform Truth Social to attack his opponents and lie profusely, but the site's new "Truth Search AI" tool is unlikely to win his favor because it actually—get this—tells the truth about him and his policies.

A test conducted by the center-right news and commentary site The Bulwark found that the tool, which Truth Social debuted shortly after Trump signed an executive order to counter the use of “Woke AI” in the federal government, actually tells the truth about everything from his widely unpopular tariffs to the 2020 election results.

Trump Just Bragged That Everything In The Oval Office Is 'Real Gold'—And Even Laura Ingraham Isn't Buying It

President Donald Trump received a dubious reaction from Fox News personality Laura Ingraham after he touted the Oval Office's gold decor as "real gold" while giving her a tour.

The Oval Office has been significantly revamped since Trump took office in January—it features, among other things, fireplace adorned with gold cherubs and medallions, surrounded by portraits of American statesmen in ornate gold frames and shelves filled with gilded figurines, urns, and freshly installed Rococo mirrors.

Sydney Sweeney Speaks Out After 'Christy' Biopic Has One Of Worst Box Office Openings Of All Time

Sydney Sweeney can land a punch, but maybe not at the box office. Her latest film, Christy, a biopic about trailblazing boxer Christy Martin, landed a hard blow but barely connected with the audience, opening to a paltry $1.3 million.

That’s not just a loss; it’s a technical knockout in the “worst wide release openings ever” category, according to Box Office Mojo. For films debuting in over 2,000 theaters, Christy ranks at No. 12 overall and No. 9 when excluding rereleases.
