Spotify podcaster, Joe Rogan, runs a $200 million-worth podcast. Besides, he is one of the most notable names in the $9-10 billion MMA industry called UFC. Yet he has kept his friend circle close. Further, the JRE host does not even mention his family or relative on his show as he wants them away from the limelight and negativity of social media, the fight business brings.

That said, a few of his friends from the comedy circuit and UFC often make it to his podcast. And Rogan is blatantly honest with them even on the live show about their lives. A prime example of it was on display, when he encountered his friend, Bryan Callen.
On a JRE podcast, Rogan told a story, where a guy was waiting for his high school bullies to go away, so he can continue on his path. The JRE host said that the guy in the story was 60 years old and yet was holding his high school bullying incident in his mind.
Bryan Callen expressed, “You know what happened to me. I got bullied for a full year. And it turned me into a f***ing – if somebody tries to bully me I’ll show up to your f***ing house and kill you. That’s what happens I got so angry.”

The 55-year-old said, “I’m not buying that remotely.”
Callen stayed firm on his claim and looked visibly confused by Rogan’s and Schaub’s opinion.
Joe Rogan addressed Bryan Callen’s issue
The millionaire podcast host, talked straight to Callen and said, “Here’s your problem – you’ve talked to too many guys that let you say sh** like that, and then it becomes like vernacular.”
The former Fear Factor host, told Callen that most people around Callen, when he initially met him were toxic. And they affected Callen’s communication process negatively.

Although the comedian was still singing the same tune. Callen even challenged former UFC heavyweight athlete Brendan Schaub, who was a much bigger & more experienced martial artist than him. A fight nearly broke in front of Rogan’s eyes.
However, both Rogan and Ronda Rousey‘s ex (Schaub) calmed Callen and presented the issue to him.
