Joe Rogan has always been passionate about his podcast ‘The Joe Rogan Experience.’ The success of the show, topping the world’s leading podcast list twice in a row, is a testament to his dedication and hard work. The UFC commentator’s work has garnered him millions of fans from different walks of life. The Jiu-Jitsu and Tae Kwon Do black belt often get compliments for his service from his multitude of listeners. However, the 55-year-old recently revealed that not all compliments are as wholesome as they sound.

In episode #1942 of ‘The Joe Rogan Experience,’ Rogan hosted famous American author Mark Greaney. Greaney is famous for the ‘Gray Man’ novels, with the 12th book in the series set to hit the shelves on February 21, 2023.

During their chat, both Rogan and Greany found common ground on compliments about their work that leave them rather speechless.

Joe Rogan jokes about compliments that do not help

Rogan and Greaney kicked off the show by discussing the violent content often present in the ‘Gray Man’ novels. Rogan described them as “f**ed up books” and joked about how Greaney could not be a psycho.

Greaney agreed he shared the same thoughts sporadically. He mentioned how he wonders if his kid’s friends’ parents know about the type of content he writes and what they thought of him. Interestingly, Rogan shared a similar sentiment.

The former Fear Factor host said, “I get that with parents when they say they listen to my podcast… I’m like, what kind of psycho stuff do we have to talk about now?”

After laughing over the matter, Rogan explained how he listened to Greaney’s books in an environment that suited its content.

How Rogan listens to ‘Gray Man’ novels

Rogan revealed to Greany that he found the content of his novels very violent. Therefore, Rogan had a ritual for reading those books. Specifically, he listened to the audiobooks of those novels while in the sauna. The millionaire host of JRE even had a reason to justify this practice.

He said, “I listen to them on audio when I’m in the sauna all the time. Because the sauna is so torturous because I keep it at 190 degrees and I’m in there for 25 minutes. It’s f***ing rough… The kind of insane narratives you create, the kind of situations you create in your mind, they’re very good when you’re suffering.”

Rogan also labeled it “a great instrument of escapism” after Greaney revealed how his book helped people pass time when stuck at airports and such.
