If there is anything except memes and cat videos that rule the internet, it is Joe Rogan! The man has been ruling this digital era with his ever-popular Joe Rogan Experience podcast, which has millions of monthly listeners. Apart from his podcast, Rogan is also one of the most recognizable faces of UFC.

But let’s rewind the clock and journey back to a time when Rogan‘s fame was still simmering on the small screen, and his adventures involved less deep conversations and more daring stunts. Back in 2002, Rogan was a more familiar face in the reality TV show Fear Factor. Very recently, Rogan’s interview from that period has popped back on social media and is being dissected by his fans.

When Joe Rogan talked about his style in a 2002 Playboy magazine interview

In a 2002 Playboy magazine article, Rogan‘s eccentricities and unique sense of humor were brought to light. Rogan‘s style, both in terms of his fashion choices and his comedic persona, stood out among his peers. When talking about his Fear Factor experience, Rogan made a tall claim that he could “kill and skin” anything including moose and bears.

Moreover, Rogan also talked about his style. Back then, his attire mainly consisted of jeans and T-shirts. In the interview, Rogan even admitted to feeling that shopping was a stupid activity. Going ahead, he even admitted that used to wear the clothes he got from the sets of News Radio.

“I got most of my clothes from the NewsRadio wardrobe department. After 90 episodes I have 90 sets of clothes. Because I could never wear an outfit twice. I just kept all my stuff. No one cared- they had to buy it anyway. To me, dressing up is stupid. Whenever I have to wear a tuxedo, I feel like I’m in mega-full-of-sh*t mode.”

Fan reactions to Rogan’s interview

The recently surfaced article from 2002 has sparked a range of reactions among fans. Some appreciate the nostalgic glimpse into Rogan‘s past, noting that certain aspects of his personality remain unchanged.

• “This Joe is still in there.”
• “Gotta agree!! His personal style is boring…”
• “Rogan only started hunting about a decade after this I thought.”
• “That’s the funniest sh*t I’ve heard from this comedian.”
• “Hasn’t changed a lot in 20 years.”
• “Suit wearing comedy tour Joe would like a word with this Joe.”
• “Bro been swimming in mega full of sh*t mode last few years.”
• “It’s so cringe to see and hear his humour back then.”
• “I don’t think more recent fans realize how over the top his whole alpha male act was in the 2000s. Always yelling and bring aggro, talking about “manly” sh*t. He was so obviously insecure.”
• “Dudes talked the same for the last 20 years”
