10 Most Emotional Joe Rogan Experience Moments
Some of these guests even brought Joe to tears with their stories.
With tens of thousands of hours worth of podcasts under his belt, Joe Rogan has dedicated a significant portion of his life to providing his fans worldwide with a stream of interesting content from a wide variety of guests.
In that time, it's not exactly surprising that the American comedian has experienced just about every conceivable emotion on camera for the world to see. While many of the episodes of the JRE are a sure-fire way to find yourself in fits of uncontrollable laughter or completely fascinated with the tales of a guest with an unconventional life story, Rogan is a human just like all of us and when a guest comes on with a particularly heartbreaking story, its not surprising that the podcast can get emotional every now and then.
Despite Rogan's uber-masculine persona, the UFC commentator has never been afraid to hide his feelings and is as multi-faceted in his emotional responses as anyone. That means every now and then his passions and concerns manifest into displays of genuine emotion on the podcast.
These are just some of the times that the JRE has left us asking if someone is cutting onions.
10. Elon Musk Advocates For Change
Elon Musk's appearance on the JRE will be forever remembered for the Tesla CEO taking a drag on a joint, and the implications that for his company's stock, and the wild overreactions to a grown man enjoying a completely legal substance in the wider media.
Which is a total shame, because despite some awkwardness in the early going of the episode, episode #1169 of the JRE is an interesting back-and-forth and offers a fascinating insight into the mindset of one of the world's true visionaries.
While Musk has certainly established himself as a somewhat polarising figure for some of his actions and statements throughout the years, it's impossible to argue that he doesn't wholeheartedly believe that his ideas could benefit humanity.
This was evident during his conversation with Rogan, as Musk stresses the necessity for radical change in order to ensure a sustainable future for the planet.
While the emotion in this entry may not be as overt as others in the list, this episode deserved inclusion for the passion in which Musk talks about humanity's effect on the planet.
