Here's a link to Joe Rogan's blog where he responds to DN's blog about the show. It seems like a genuine apology and makes sense so hopefully they can just put the whole thing behind them.

Here is a clip of Rogan's blog:
"Daniel, I know you’re reading this, so I want you to know, I’m not mad at you.
Not even a little. I think we’ve all had moments in our life where our ego twisted reality into a distorted perception of the truth. I’m sure that you were hyper sensitive to what I said because you had just recently broken up with your ex, and although you were trying to say that the scenarios I was describing weren’t bothering you, they were, A LOT."
Joe is so confused. I just listened to the audio clip as well, which Joe provides as evidence that nothing offensive took place. It is one thing to poke fun at your friends. Saying the stuff he was saying to someone who he just met is out of line. He claims he was just talking to you like a buddy, but the truth is he should know to exercise a little bit of restraint on the vulgarity given that you are a stranger to him. It seems that because he was speaking in a forum in which there is no censorship, being funny means being obscene, particularly about your recent ex. Way over the line.
Somehow Joe assumes that because you say in your blog that he was being an idiot, offensive, etc. that the truth is you were bothered by the visual he was trying to put in your head. I don't know how he can make this connection. He doesn't even know you.
Btw, DN, I thought you did a very good job on that show, smoothing over the awkward conversation. You are not one to announce you are offended, obviously Joe did not know this. He assumes that because you laughed, you were therefore having a grand 'ol time. When listening, I got the impression you were just waiting for him to change the topic, but he just spent way to long on it. I think you did the classy thing to just kinda laugh along then get the hell outta there.
