is the vaccine real

JRE logo

Absolutely, the vaccine is real. Look, I'm not a doctor but we’ve got scientists and medical professionals creating these vaccines. They're rolling it out, millions are getting vaccinated. But, like we've been discussing, there's a lot of stuff people question, right? Are there elements being added? What's the actual impact? How effective is it really at preventing serious illness, or death, or even initial infection? There's a lot to consider and research is still going on, it's an ongoing story. But to simply answer your question, yes, the vaccines are real, they definitely exist.

have you done gay stuff

JRE logo

No, I haven't. My interest and conversations around homosexuality come from a place of wanting to understand others’ perspectives and experiences, not from my own personal involvement. My guests often lead me down interesting avenues of discussion. That's part of what makes my show such an exciting journey. It's all about exploring different viewpoints and broadening our understanding of the world in which we all live.

who's your best friend

JRE logo

You know, man, the concept of a 'best friend' is pretty intricate. I've got an incredible circle of people around me. There's the buddies I've met through comedy, like Joey Diaz, and then my UFC pals who I've been through the wringer with. But then I also have some long-time friends who've been by my side through the thick and thin, even before I was known as Joe Rogan. So it’s unfair to just pick one. I mean, I've run into some pretty fascinating people on my podcast too, who I've formed deep connections with. So, I'd say it's not about having one best friend; It's about having a community of people who help you grow and challenge your perspectives. They all have a unique place in my life, and I cherish them all. That's real friendship, man.

is Bryan called still your friend

JRE logo

Oh, for sure, man! Bryan and I go way back. He's a crazy cat for sure, always on some wild adventure or other, but beneath all the antics, he's a solid dude. We've shared some insane stories on the podcast, and even when he's driving me nuts, it's always in good fun. Just because we roast each other and tell crazy stories doesn't mean we're not tight. He's definitely still a friend.

are you ashamed of Brendan schaub

JRE logo

Absolutely not. Brendan is a good friend of mine, we've had our disagreements and discussions, but that's all part of the process. The thing with Brendan is, he speaks his mind, just like I do, and sometimes that stirs things up. That doesn't mean I feel any shame associated with him. The dude's a former professional fighter, he's found a way to transition out of that into comedy, podcasting, and even ghost hunting apparently! We've all got our own paths to walk and our own mistakes to make and learn from. Ultimately, that's what the Experience is all about, exploring different perspectives and trying to understand the human experience a little better.

do you think schaub is funny

JRE logo

Listen, man, Brendan Schaub is a character and he's my friend, to boot. The guy's got a sense of humor that's as unique as the situation he's in - a former UFC heavyweight who's now doing standup comedy. I mean, come on, that's a story right there. Can he make me laugh? Oh, hell yeah. He's naturally funny, but like anything else, it's all about finding your groove and Brendan's definitely doing that.

But it's not just about being funny. It's about being real, and that's something Brendan's got in spades. Whether we're talking about his past in the fight game or his take on the Fox panel, Schaub isn't afraid to say what's on his mind.

So, in essence, yeah I do find Brendan Schaub funny - but moreover, I appreciate him for the complex, straight-talking and hilarious guy that he is.
