"A whole country filled with gorillas" - When Joe Rogan attributed insane strength and physique of strongmen to "Viking DNA"
Joe Rogan talks about nearly every sport and topic under the sun on The Joe Rogan Experience.
The UFC commentator and pundit has been a part of the organization since 1997. He began his podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, starting in 2009. It has turned into one of the most popular podcasts in the world.
In one episode of his podcast, he spoke about Icelandic strongman Thor Bjornsson:
"They're all Vikings man, it's Viking DNA, those are Vikings. There's a reason why he's that big, no bull***t. That is Viking DNA. Thousands of years ago, guys like him would be on a boat with a f***ing dragon on the front of the boat and they'd have a sword and they couldn't wait to jump off that f***ing boat and start hacking people to bits."
Rogan was extremely impressed with the strongmen from Iceland, particularly Halfthor Bjornsson, who also played 'The Mountain' on the famous TV series Game of Thrones. The Iceland native won the World's Strongest Man title once in 2018 and has placed in the top three every year since 2012 until he left the sport in 2020. Many believe he is one of the strongest men to have ever lived.

Bjornsson took a break from Strongman competition to pursue boxing. He recently announced that he will be returning to Strongman after defeating his rival Eddie Hall in a six round bout.

Joe Rogan shares his reaction to the CIA's alledged invovlement in the assassination of John F. Kennedy
The National Archives recently released thousands of previously classified documents containing details of 'JFK's' unfortunate death in 1963. On a recent episode, Joe Rogan spoke to Brian Redban on episode #1913 of The Joe Rogan Experience about the released documents and said:
"Yeah, they kept documents. I would definitely not let people read the ones that would be looking bad. I mean, that's the only explanation. Why can't we read 'em? They must be bad! They can't be good. Well, they say a lot of great things about the CIA, we're pretty humble, we don't want that. How will they ever find out? If they are able to keep s**t from us, how will they ever find out? Even though there's been laws passed and you know, rulings, they're supposed to release it, 2017. Like, what? Why not? What are you doing? What's happening?"
Joe Rogan believes the CIA is hiding real information from the public to protect the image of one of America's most beloved presidents.
