EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, featuring Joe Rogan and Billy Corben, Joe Rogan Experience #1271 - Billy Corben explores Steroids, scams, and “Florida fuckery” behind baseball’s wildest scandal Joe Rogan and documentary filmmaker Billy Corben break down Corben’s film “Screwball,” which exposes the Biogenesis steroid scandal that ensnared Alex Rodriguez and Major League Baseball. Corben explains his creative choice to reenact the saga using child actors, highlighting how absurd and childish the real-life players behaved. The conversation widens into a deep dive on Miami as a hub of scams, Medicare fraud, pill mills, cocaine culture, and political corruption—and how those dynamics mirror broader American trends. They also touch on drugs, prostitution laws, religion-as-hustle, Trump-era values, and the role of failure in creative growth and comedy.
