Rogan and Spotify are yet to comment on why at least 70 of his episodes have been deleted, while he apologized for his use of the racial slur and comparing a visit to a Black neighborhood to being in the movie Planet of the Apes.
Can I point out that in planet of the apes they had a diverse multi-species society and most of the protagonists were scientists and linguists? It's honestly a great movie.
He basically does this during his apology. All the instances of him saying the n word, according to Rogan, were in context of him talking about how the word is used, all meta discussions. But he continued to say that, even with that context, it was still unequivocally unacceptable for him to use the word, that he understands why it’s upsetting, and that he’s tried for a while now to stop using it.
However, when it comes to the “planet of the apes” comment, he tries to insist that that’s not what he meant and that it was just didn’t come out right. That he was trying to tell a story about how much fun it was to watch planet of the apes in a black neighborhood. It was supposed to be a compliment don’t you seeeee?????
In his Space Ghost interview, Charleston Heston says that the strangest thing about making that movie was that lunch all the chimpanzees sat at one table, the gorillas sat at another, and the orangutans sat at another. Dunno what that means but it's an interesting anecdote.
My instinct is to say the actors in suits would have all gone to get makeup/costumes together based on their ape species and so spent more time one another regardless, so became friends
