For the past three years, Joe Rogan has been taking part in Sober October. Unfortunately, given the current situation of the world, keeping up with the tradition won’t be easy for the comedian and the podcast host. However, even a global pandemic couldn’t deter the UFC commentator from achieving what he sets his mind to.

Rogan has never been alone in the challenge. He was accompanied by his friends and fellow podcast hosts, Bert Kreischer, Ari Shaffir, and Tom Segura. However, his friends bailed out on him following the increasingly unusual circumstances stemming up in the country. Meanwhile, Rogan was on the fence about what to do regarding the challenge this year.

At last, it seems Rogan has finally made his mind about taking up the challenge this year as well. He posted a long message on Instagram letting all his followers know that he’ll be standing tall with them in the Sober October challenge.

The veteran UFC commentator said, “Sober October update. I know many of you were upset that we were not doing sober October this year. Well, I’m in. I’m with ya. I texted Tom Segura and Bert Kreischer. They were both like ‘Oh! F**k that we’re getting drunk. It’s too crazy this year. The pandemic. Ooo the President is dying. Ooh, the purge’. Excuses! Ari Shaffir didn’t even respond. He’s probably on drugs. He’s probably doing acid right now, laughing at this video.” 

Well, you don’t have to. Let’s do it. The whole month, let’s stay sober. I’m drinking nothing but coffee and water, and I’m gonna work out every day. Not pot. No mushrooms. Nothing crazy. Just coffee and water and exercise. Come along with me. Clean your f**king act up. Get some positive momentum. Sober October. It’s on kids.

Joe Rogan is the reason Sober October is a phenomenon in the USA

Sober October is similar to Dry January with only a change in the month. The idea began in Australia almost a decade ago. Called “Ocsober” back then, youth health NGO Life Education sowed the seed of the idea by raising money with it.

Later on, Macmillan Cancer Support, a British-based cancer charity, renamed it to Sober October. However, it was Joe Rogan who brought the idea across the Atlantic when he urged his audience to take the challenge with him.
