Joe Rogan hunts for big animals. When he’s not making duck calls, he might be calling the action inside the UFC’s Octagon. Bigger yet, you’ve probably heard him call the world as he sees it on his podcast the Joe Rogan Experience.
While experiencing the most listened-to podcast in the United States for yourself, you might wonder how similar you are to Rogan himself. While the man is easier to relate to than many of his high-profile, high blood pressure friends, like Alex Jones or Joey Diaz, Rogan brings a unique perspective into social and mixed martial arts commentary.
To find out if you match his mentality, this quiz investigates your outdoor, sports, political, humor, and entertainment preferences. You’ll also be placed in social situations, ranging from being in charge of an intern to opponents charging at you in combat. There’s no penalty for guessing or not scoring a high correlation to Rogan.
Joe Rogan
Comedian Joe Rogan wears a lot of occupational hats. As a longtime UFC color commentator, he watches fighters wear countless scars. He speaks from experience, holding a black belt in Taekwondo (Rogan won the US Open Tae Kwon Do Championship at 19) and Brazillian Jiu-Jitsu. He is probably most known for his work on the mic outside of the Octagon, though, as the star host of the extremely popular Joe Rogan Experience podcast.
The Joe Rogan Experience podcast takes listeners on a wild, worldly ride with stand-up comedians and Hollywood stars frequently riding shotgun. Rogan is a standup comedian himself. He used that wit to host Fear Factor for seven seasons, where contestants partook in questionable quests and feasts. Rogan hosted Joe Rogan Questions Everything as well. Rogan released 10 comedy specials. Several appear on Netflix and Comedy Central.
How Joe Rogan Are You?

It's time to face the music—how Joe Rogan are you, really?
We all know Joe Rogan as the guy who can shift from interviewing scientists to UFC fighters before most of us have had our morning coffee. He's a comedian, he's a commentator, he's a bit of a renaissance man who's not afraid to speak his mind. Whether he's writing, acting, or just dropping knowledge bombs on his podcast, he's got a unique blend of interests and opinions that's equal parts contemplative and controversial. But here's the real kicker: if you find yourself nodding along to his musings more often than not, you might just be a Rogan disciple in the making.
So tighten up your jiu-jitsu gi, prepare your best carnivore diet recipes, and cue up your favorite podcast episode. It's time to figure out where you stand on the Joe Rogan spectrum. Are you just a casual listener, or could you be the long-lost twin of the man who loves to chat about everything from the cosmos to comedy? Let's find out together with our latest quiz that digs deep into the essence of Rogan-ness: "How Joe Rogan Are You?"
Decoding the Joe Rogan Experience
So, you think you're basically Joe Rogan's long-lost twin? Let's put that to the test by digging into what makes the Joe Rogan Experience a behemoth in the world of podcasting. It's not just a matter of shaving your head and yelling about DMT!
Podcast Evolution and Milestones
When we first flipped on the mic on an old USTREAM channel, we could hardly have guessed that the Joe Rogan Experience would morph into the titan that it is today. Starting in a room that looked like the set of a 90s hacker movie, our main man Joe and his techie sidekick, Brian Redban, went from riffing on random topics to signing an Earth-shattering deal with Spotify. Remember, folks, we've evolved from a tiny internet blip to a major pull factor in Spotify's podcast universe.
Famous Faces and Influential Discussions
We've been graced by what seems like an endless parade of guests, from top-tier intellectuals like Neil deGrasse Tyson, to the internet's wild card Alex Jones, and even presidential candidates like Tulsi Gabbard. It's like a variegated tapestry of conversations that can go from discussing the cosmos to conspiracy theories before you can say "Jamie, pull that up."
Comedy in the Limelight
Now, we can't talk Joe Rogan without hat-tipping to the man's stand-up roots. Whether we're looking back at Joe Rogan's specials like Triggered, or Rocky Mountain High, we're riding shotgun through a landscape of laughter. And let’s not forget Joe's comedy posse with legends like Joey Diaz, Doug Stanhope, Ari Shaffir, and others. They're not just funny, they're like that uncle with the unforgettable stories at Thanksgiving dinner— larger than life and slightly inappropriate.
Controversies and Cultural Impact
Well, strap in folks, because we're about to ride the rollercoaster of topics that could either make you the life of the party or that oddball cousin we all whisper about. Hold onto your hats – here comes the lowdown on how Joe Rogan stirs the pot and shapes the chat.
Navigating the Waters of Misinformation
In a world where a snippet of chitchat can go viral quicker than a sneeze in a silent library, our man Rogan has occasionally found his oar deep in the murky pond of misinformation. Whether we're talking about COVID-19 or the latest in vaccine chatter, Joe isn't shy about diving in. With the platform of the Joe Rogan Experience (JRE), some say he's rocked the boat when it comes to responsibility in sharing views.
The Intersection of Entertainment and Politics
Remember those days when dining table talk was free from the spicy tang of politics? Yeah, neither do we. Rogan, doubling as a UFC color commentator and former host of Fear Factor, doesn't dodge the tough questions. His show becomes an arena where entertainment meets the heavyweight topics of our times, wrestling with issues from the U.S. presidential election to the bounds of free speech.
Stances on Science and Society
Our fearless rogue of the radio waves, originally from NewsRadio, hasn't ditched boldness in his podcast leap. From climate change to science debates, Joe isn't one to tip-toe around conspiracy theories or shy away from questioning what others accept on face value. He takes stances that sometimes spark as much heat as a UFC fight night—especially when things tilt toward racism or society's latest science hiccup.
Remember, these spicy tidbits are just a taste of the full Rogan experience. Are you as unfiltered and free-talking as Joe, or are you playing it safe on the sidelines? It's your call, but we all know there's no show without a bit of controversy, right?
