VIDEO: Guest Shows Joe Rogan An Australian ‘Don’t Sniff Gasoline’ PSA
This is simultaneously hilarious and sad.
On Thursday, Andrew Wilson, host of “The Crucible” was a guest on the Joe Rogan Experience. In a clip going viral on X, Wilson tells Rogan about a song funded by the Australian government that is simultaneously hilarious and sad. It’s a PSA teaching Aboriginal children that it’s not a good idea to sniff petrol (gasoline).
Apparently the Australian government thinks that the problem of substance abuse can be cured–at least in part–by a catchy tune.
Here’s the clip:
The Australian government had to make a song telling people not to sniff gasoline from a can. 😂
Andrew Wilson: “What I’m about to show you is going to make you laugh to death.”
Rogan: “Imagine you got that and you think you're going to fix that problem with a catchy song.” pic.twitter.com/0UeZLBYSfe

The conversation continues past that clip with Rogan and Wilson discussing the difficulties that arise when a culture that doesn’t have coping mechanisms to handle new substances encounters them. You can watch the whole episode here:
Sniffing gas is apparently a pretty big problem in remote Aboriginal communities.
This is all so very dark.
One of the worst parts about this song is that it features a bunch of children who will grow up one day and realize that they were in a PSA about sniffing gas. Hopefully the Australian government has put some money aside for therapy for those kids.
