Joe Rogan has been around mixed martial arts since he was young and has experienced his fair share of violence in life. However, he did shriek in the recent episode of his podcast show when he saw videos of men being attacked by bulls. On the episode with guest Tony Hinchcliffe and comedian Bert Kreischer, Rogan discussed the sport of bullfighting.

Rogan slammed the sport as barbaric and strange and did not support the idea of the violent sport at all. He said, “It’s crazy that they still do that, right? What a strange ritual it’s so barbaric to do there in 2022. To like have this thing ‘Ole’ and then trick the bull but know that there is a possibility that the bull is going to get you.”

When he was asked if he would attend the event if it took place in America, he said, “no, I wouldn’t go to it. I wouldn’t support it in America. But if it was happening in some other countries, there’s nothing you’re going to do to change this. It is what it is. It’s here. You wanna see it? I’d have to see it because it’s like the opportunity to see something so insane.”

Rogan said,” that dog looks like if  ‘It the clown’ if it was an evil dog. That’s Pennywise the clown bro. That looks like the rock if it was a dog. Look at the build on that thing. Jesus Christ! That’s a girl too, that’s a female dog. That looks like a demon. A sweet-faced demon, wandering around your yard looking to kill burglars.”
