During an episode of his podcast, “controversial” comedian Joe Rogan said that he would quit podcasting before they make him “walk on eggshells” when discussing recent events.
On a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan’s guest, MMA fighter Josh Barnett, was worried that he would be judged for ‘every little thing’ that he said during the podcast.
Rogan made it clear that his show “requires sincerity” and without it, he said, the show wouldn’t have success.
The show started with Barnett sharing how he was really nervous about going on the show because he thought with all the attention Rogan has had everybody would be “poring over” every little thing he said during his appearance on the podcast. It starts at the 2:14 minute mark in the show.
Rogan echoed the 44-year-old fighter’s fears, revealing he will quit if push comes to shove.
“They will because there are more people poring over it but it’s the same thing, I do it the show the same way.”
“If I become something different because it grew bigger, I will quit. If it gets to a point that I can’t do it anymore, where I have to do it in some sort of weird way where I walk on eggshells and mind my p’s and q’s, f*** that.”

Barnett said that he understood what Rogan was saying, telling his pal that he needed to be able to do his show with “100% sincerity.”
Rogan replied:
“Especially this. This requires sincerity, without it, this show doesn’t have any success.”
Barnett replied:
“Ninety-nine percent of everyone’s complaint on you, any criticism, is essentially — they’re levying a insincere — they’re putting insincerity on you.”
The host responded:
“But the thing is when you do something like that, because it’s a good thing, because it intrigues you and you like it, it resonates with people because they’re so starving for that. Because most of what you see, you see a lot of people that are cynical and they think that everything is insincere.”
“And you just find the thing that’s the most acceptable to you that’s also insincere. And that’s how we pick politicians.”
Joe Rogan consistently proves that he isn’t afraid to discuss any issue, speaking about everything from how Joe Biden “can’t talk right anymore” to calling out Will Smith for slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars for just doing his “f***ing job.”
