In addition to being one of the most successful podcast hosts today, Joe Rogan is also an ardent advocate of physical and mental health. The 55-year-old often shares his workout updates via social media, encouraging his followers to get after it. Although he has this altruistic behavior, the millionaire host of The Joe Rogan Experience recently admitted he is not free from certain “douchebag tendencies” either. However, Rogan has devised a way to keep them in check.

In episode #1950 of The Joe Rogan Experience, the long-time UFC commentator hosted NFL veteran and Super Bowl 50 champion Derek Wolfe. The pair talked for over three hours on a variety of topics. During one of those discussions, Wolfe mentioned how he took medicines that helped him sleep better. The 33-year-old talked about how he got deeper REM sleep from the pills.

Wolfe also pointed out how such medicines can be abused easily. However, he emphasized that they were made for the right reasons and were beneficial if used responsibly. In response, Rogan mentioned how people abuse such pills. Rogan further stated that he abstained from such substances for a specific set of reasons.

Joe Rogan on keeping himself in check

In his response to Wolfe, Rogan revealed he had certain tendencies that he wanted to keep in check. The UFC commentator said, “I just stay away from anything that gives me too much confidence. Generally, I try to stay away from confidence, and dude, I have, like, douchebag tendencies.”

He continued, “I want to suppress my douchebag. I like being a nice person and the best way for me to be a nice person is, like, to keep the ego in check.” He further added, “That’s why I like weed. That’s why I like mushrooms. I like things that just settle me down and keep me in a good zone, a good space, and put out good energy.”

Rogan and his use of recreational marijuana are the subjects of many popular memes today. The images of intoxicated Rogan and the conversations that are fueled by these entertain many fans. But did you know this was the reason behind the podcaster’s choice of consuming marijuana?
