On the May 7 episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan and his guest, The Cody Tucker Show podcast host Cody Tucker, discussed data privacy.
"We don't have a list of what they're getting," Tucker said. "I mean, I guess you do if you read that whole damn thing, but who's reading that? The privacy terms and conditions."
"Right, nobody reads that s***," Rogan said. "Somebody told me there was something—we might have to edit this out if it's not true—but somebody told me there's something f***ed up about [Uber]'s terms and whatever, terms apply, with the thing that you have to agree to. That it has something in there you'll agree to mediation, like in case of some sort of a dispute, a legal dispute, you've agreed to mediation so you're not going to sue them."
"Really?" Tucker responded. "Whenever you get hired at a new job, they have those kinds of clauses. That's so weird."
"If it's true," Rogan said. "We need to find out if it's true because somebody was telling it to me, and I was like, 'Wait, what?' That sounds insane."
The podcast's producer, Jamie Vernon, then pulled up information about their chat and pointed out that Rogan had said "Google," instead of "Uber."
"I'm sorry, I probably mumbled," Rogan said.
While Uber's United States terms and conditions don't appear to include a clause regarding mediation, the United Kingdom's document mentions it: "In the unlikely event that we cannot resolve the dispute, we will work with you to discuss a way forward to resolve the dispute, which may include mediation."
What People Are Saying
In the comments underneath the podcast on Spotify, fans of the show pointed out Rogan's gaffe.
Spotify user Jordan commented: "Definitely said Google lol."
Jonathanbraun commented: "Joe definitely said Google first not Uber."
Chad Abrams commented: "Joe, you said google. You didn't mumble."
Mono commented: "34:49 he definitely said Google WTH [what the h***]."
Ryan posted: "You definitely said google, Joe. Lol."
Colbypeveler commented: "You didn't mumble Joe you 100% said Google."
tsmerka remarked: "Homie definitely said Google."
What Happens Next
The Joe Rogan Experience releases multiple episodes per week on platforms like Spotify, Apple Podcasts and YouTube.

I loved this underrated 2010 thriller starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Mark Ruffalo — and it just got added to Paramount Plus
It's tough to call any Leonardo DiCaprio movie forgotten or underrated, but "Shutter Island" just might fit the mold. It probably isn't helped by the fact that this Martin Scorsese film should be one of the biggest new additions to Paramount Plus this August. Yet I struggled to find it on Paramount's streaming service when searching for it on Google (I did ultimately find it, of course — it is my job). For those who have seen it and are reading this, many of you might agree with me that the twist in this movie alone is reason to watch, and why, for me, this is still one of the more memorable movies Scorsese has ever made or that DiCaprio has ever starred in. It's no "The Wolf of Wall Street," but give me "Shutter Island" over "Kundun" or "The Revenant" any day. If you haven't seen "Shutter Island," though, you might be wondering what the big deal is about this thriller. Well, spoiler alert, I'm not going to give away the movie's big twist in this article, which is up there with "The Sixth Sense" in terms of movie twists you can't unlearn. However, I am going to tell you why this movie is a must-watch — and maybe even watch a second time — now that it's on Paramount Plus. "Shutter Island" stars Leonardo DiCaprio as U.S. Marshal Edward "Teddy" Daniels. He and his new partner, Chuck Aule (Mark Ruffalo), have arrived at Ashecliffe Hospital for the Criminally Insane on Shutter Island in the Boston Harbor, run by psychiatrists Drs. Cawley (Ben Kingsley) and Naehring (Max von Sydow). They're there to investigate the disappearance of Rachel Solando (Emily Mortimer), a patient of the hospital who was institutionalized after drowning her three children. Upon arrival, though, it's clear things are not as they seem. Cawley and Naehring are uncooperative with Teddy's investigation, and it's revealed that a Dr. Lester Sheehan disappeared from the island right after Solando was discovered missing. As Teddy's investigation progresses, he starts experiencing intense migraines and flashbacks, and begins to vividly dream of his wife, Dolores (Michelle Williams). It's then revealed that his wife was killed in a fire set by arsonist Andrew Laeddis, who Teddy thinks is still in the facility on the island, and Teddy's reason for taking the Solando case. As "Shutter Island" progresses, so do the twists and turns in the story. Multiple people hospitalized at the island claim to know Teddy during his investigation, with one patient, George (Jackie Earle Haley), going as far as to warn the Marshal not to trust his new partner, Chuck. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. This all builds to a stunning reveal that, again, I won't spoil in this article. But I will reveal that it's aided by the movie's incredible cast, as is most of the film. Between DiCaprio, Ruffalo, Kingsley, von Sydow and Williams, you have 21 Academy Award nominations for acting, and a few wins from those nominations. That cast results in numerous performances in "Shutter Island" that will keep you engaged during the movie's 139 minutes, if, for some reason, the story does not. But that story should keep you plenty engaged, and once you've watched all the twists, you might want to hit play again. It's a movie that rewards a second viewing, allowing you to not only spot things you may have missed the first time around, but also consider the story from the perspective of characters other than Teddy. For the record, I'm not the only one to love this movie. While it's rated a meager 68% "fresh" on Rotten Tomatoes, plenty of prominent critics praised the film, including Roger Ebert, whose review also indicates that a second viewing might be worthwhile, and praises Scorsese's directing in particular. So if you have some spare time, sit down, boot up Paramount Plus, and hit play on "Shutter Island." Then, when you're done, hit play again. Stream "Shutter Island" now on Paramount Plus Malcolm has been with Tom's Guide since 2022, and has been covering the latest in streaming shows and movies since 2023. He's not one to shy away from a hot take, including that "John Wick" is one of the four greatest films ever made. Here's what he's been watching lately:

Mark Ruffalo criticizes Joe Rogan for shock over Trump's ICE raids: 'A little late now'
When it comes to politics, Mark Ruffalo isn't the type to mince his words. The Oscar-nominated actor, who's been a vocal critic of President Donald Trump's crackdown on illegal immigration, slammed Joe Rogan after the podcasting sensation shared criticism of the Trump administration's sweeping deportation efforts. In June, several demonstrations erupted across Los Angeles in response to a series of immigration raids. The federal invasions, carried out by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, took place in parts of the city as part of a directive from President Trump to find immigrants living in the United States without legal status. "We were told there would be no, — well, there's two things that are insane," Rogan, 57, told guest and Replit CEO Amjad Masad on a July 2 episode of "The Joe Rogan Experience." "One is the targeting of migrant workers. Not cartel members, not gang members, not drug dealers. Just construction workers. Showing up in construction sites, raiding them. Gardeners. Like, really?" 'It's painful to see': Shakira laments 'constant fear' faced by immigrants Rogan previously shared support for President Trump, endorsing the billionaire businessman in the lead-up to the 2024 U.S. presidential election. Despite Rogan's political grievance, Ruffalo criticized the podcaster for changing his tune on the Republican president. "Dear @joerogan, it's a little late now to pretend like Project 2025 didn't exist and wasn't the playbook all along," wrote Ruffalo in a July 6 Threads post responding to a clip of Rogan's comments. "You are either not that smart or not that dumb. It's hard to tell at this point." 10 bingeable memoirs to check out: Celebrities tell all about aging, marriage and Beyoncé Project 2025, also known as the 2025 Presidential Transition Project, is a political agenda published by the conservative think tank Heritage Foundation in April 2023. The mandate suggests overhauling federal agencies like the FBI, abolishing the Department of Education, reversing federal approval of abortion pills and bolstering powers for immigration officials to deport undocumented immigrants. Throughout the 2024 presidential campaign, Trump attempted to distance himself from Project 2025, claiming he knew "nothing" about the controversial plan. But a USA TODAY analysis showed at least 31 of Project 2025's 38 authors or editors had connections to Trump or his first administration. Stars turn out for 'No Kings' protests: Jimmy Kimmel, Mark Ruffalo and more Amid protests against ICE's deportation raids in Los Angeles, Ruffalo joined the political front line and marched in a "No Kings Day" protest in New York. The nationwide rallies against the Trump administration occurred on the same day that the president held a controversial military parade in Washington, marking the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army. "The Avengers" actor delivered a passionate speech at the rally, in which he claimed the Trump administration is "trampling on our rights and our laws and our freedoms." "It's on us, guys. Literally, together, we're the Avengers now," Ruffalo said. "No one's going to come and save us, man. Americans unite."
