“When you grow up with violence, you’re programmed to respond and react quickly, develop this hair-trigger reaction to things. Overreact, [and] make mistakes they can’t rebound from, and a lot of it is because of the actual programming that occurs when they’re in the womb,” Rogan said. “Even when their mother is experiencing violence from the father, it literally changes their genes in the womb.”

Important to note that Rogan had a relatively tough childhood. Before his biological father moved away, Rogan offered he didn’t have the best of memories with him.
