Rogan was recently hosting stand-up comedians: Ari Shaffir, Tom Segura, and Bert Kreischer in his podcast ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’. Episode 1892 was naturally a very interesting affair. Further, a lot of to-and-fro banter happened. But the most interesting thing that took place was a full-blown push-up contest.

He said: “sure whatever you do, I’ll do double.” It was right here that Joe Rogan’s studio started looking like a high school dorm. As everyone in the room got really excited and pumped up. Bert claimed he could do an “easy 40″. Joe Rogan responded, saying, “You don’t think I could do 80? “. The sequence of the performances was decided and Ari Shaffir got down first. He pulled out 15 push-ups that he himself accepted were a record. 

Bert Kreischer came next. He started confidently and passed Shaffir’s 15 with no discomfort. Kreischer reached 33 before stopping. Rogan, however, poked fun at Bert Kreischer. He said, “by the way none of those count, oh none of those are legit all right. Not a single one was legitimate”

By now, Ari Shaffir had his camera out. Everyone looked excited to watch if Rogan could double Kriescher’s number, as he had earlier claimed. Rogan then took over the show with speed and technique. Not only did he complete 66 push-ups while Tom Segura and Bert Kreischer counted, but he also reached a whopping 75 push-ups.  

Why was Rogan worried?

Joe Rogan looked tired and winded out as he got back to his seat. He then disclosed that he was worried about going too far and hurting himself. He said “I didn’t hurt myself. I was legitimately worried for real, yeah. I was gonna like to go too far.”Joe Rogan had talked earlier about his shoulder injury.
