Episode Synopsis

This primarily focuses on Gina Carano's career trajectory, from her beginnings in women's mixed martial arts (MMA), where she is considered a pioneer, to her transition into acting and subsequent cancellation from Disney's The Mandalorian. The conversation covers the challenges and resistance faced by early female fighters, her thoughts on the current state of women's MMA and its scoring systems, and her decision to speak out against government mandates and perceived overreach during the pandemic. Carano details the repercussions of her public stance, including losing her representation and facing online backlash, and shares her perspective on cancel culture, media bias, and the current political landscape, including her support for candidates like Ron DeSantis and her criticisms of the Biden administration's policies and the mainstream media. The dialogue also touches upon vaccine mandates, pharmaceutical industry influence, and the rise of independent platforms as alternatives to traditional media.---We all love The Joe Rogan Experience and much prefer the real thing, but sometimes it's not possible to listen to an entire episode or you just want to recap an episode you've previously listened to.
