Sean O’Malley’s first JRE experience

Two years ago, the American stand-up comedian and podcaster invited the UFC bantamweight fighter, Sean O’Malley to his show, ‘This Past Weekend’. Von displayed his curiosity about O’Malley’s experience with Joe Rogan’s podcast. He asked, “What was it like when you guys went over to Joe Rogan? I know you’re a huge Joe Rogan fan. Dude, me too.” The comedian went on as he recalled the first time he walked into the UFC commentator’s studio. He said that it felt like he walked into a place where they wrote the Bible.

Then, O’Malley revealed that he was pretty nervous when he went to Rogan’s studio. He said, “I was nervous as f**k! The night before, I got this Airbnb, and I didn’t look at it. I’m like ‘oh this is two miles from Rogan’s place’. I figured it will be a nice little place. It’s some ghetto a** apartment studio! One bedroom, one bed. And it’s like Tim [Welch] and I are f**king sleeping in that bed and I’m like under the top covers. He said it’s un- uncomfortable, just greasy. It wasn’t awkward. It was like weird being in there because it didn’t feel clean.”

In the JRE MMA Show, episode #97, the podcaster praised O’Malley’s growth as a fighter. He said that ‘Sugar’ was a young kid who was learning the sport while everyone was watching him at the UFC.

Furthermore, the UFC commentator found O’Malley’s match with Eddie Wineland fantastic to watch. He was especially impressed with the way ‘Sugar’ faked an uppercut. Rogan’s appreciation for the fighter led him to be featured a couple of times in the podcast.
