Milo YiannopoulosEdit
In January, 2016, media personality and far-right political commentator Milo Yiannopoulos was a guest of the show. During the 3-hour long episode Yiannopoulos said that sexual relationships between 13-year-old boys and adult men and women can "happen perfectly consensually", and that "some children are sexually and emotionally mature enough to consent to sex with adults".[6][7][8][9] In February 2017 the politically conservative blog The Reagan Battalion posted on Twitter a segment of the Drunken Peasants episode.[10] Following widespread criticism of Yiannopoulos's comments, he was removed from his position as a speaker at the Conservative Political Action Conference.[6][11] In an interview with TJ Kirk on The Joe Rogan Experience, host Joe Rogan remarked to TJ Kirk that "Your podcast was the big podcast that kind of sunk Milo", to which Kirk commented that he had known what he had gotten himself into by inviting Yiannopoulos on the podcast, while also stating that the podcasts's impact on Yiannopoulos had been unintentional.[12]
