He wasn\u2019t talking about meth, or heroin or the like, but rather drugs like Kratom, which is a supplement sold as an energy booster, mood lifter or pain reliever. Oliver took issue with many elements of Kratom, but one of the biggest ones was how proper dosage isn\u2019t made clear, so people feel comfortable taking more than they should.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Rogan was a prime example, as Oliver pulled up a 2018 clip from \u201cThe Joe Rogan Experience,\u201d in which the host openly admitted that he sometimes takes six pills, and once took 10. Rogan then actually read the packaging, only to discover that it said to take just two pills.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cJoe. Joey. Josephine, what the f\u2013k are you doing?\u201d Oliver asked. \u201cYou didn\u2019t even know the name of the pill or how many you were supposed to take. What <em>did<\/em> you know?! Because it seems the main knowledge you had about those pills before taking them was that they were pills, and that was apparently enough for you to happily toss half a dozen of them back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">As the segment continued, Oliver explained how pills like Kratom and others can in fact be just as addictive as hard drugs, and have similar effects. Oliver warned viewers against ever trying them and, to wrap things up, circled back to Rogan.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cSo, if I may quote Joe Rogan, something I really don\u2019t love to do, it\u2019s crucial to know that this stuff could, in his words, \u2018f\u2013k you up,&#8217;\u201d Oliver cautioned. \u201cBut unlike Joe Rogan, it\u2019s just as crucial to not then swallow ten of them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">You can watch John Oliver\u2019s main segment in the video above.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>\u201cLast Week Tonight\u201d streams Sundays at 11 p.m. ET on HBO and HBO Max.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-yga=\"{\" ylinkelement=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thewrap.com\/creative-content\/tv-shows\/john-oliver-freaks-out-joe-rogan-popping-pills-video\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:John Oliver Freaks Out Over Joe Rogan Popping Random Amounts of Pills: \u2018Josephine, What the F\u2013k Are You Doing?\u2019 | Video;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">John Oliver Freaks Out Over Joe Rogan Popping Random Amounts of Pills: \u2018Josephine, What the F\u2013k Are You Doing?\u2019 | Video<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-yga=\"{\" ylinkelement=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thewrap.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:TheWrap;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">TheWrap<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Podcaster Joe Rogan once admitted to just popping random amounts of pills he was on, and on Sunday night, John Oliver was floored by the discovery.
