Joe Rogan has several interests. Thus, it is not surprising to see him develop strong friendships with people from different backgrounds. He was great friends with the late, Anthony Bourdain. Bourdain was a famous chef and quite close to Rogan.

The UFC commentator spoke to Sam Morril on episode#1868 on ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’. They discussed Rogan’s friendship with the chef. The podcaster also revealed he went through a tough time after Anthony Bourdain’s death.

Rogan said, “He was a very moral and ethical guy. He was a tough one. He died, I was f**ked up for a while.”

“He’s just a guy that I was so excited that he was my friend. … when I first met him, I said ‘my wife says you’re my boyfriend.’ And he was like ‘okay’.”

Rogan was concerned his honesty could have cracked his friendship with the chef. Thus, Rogan laughed, recalling the incident. “I was like ‘Oh my god’, f**k.”
