Joe Rogan Retaliates Against Jake Paul’s ‘Insulting’ Offer
What do you get when you put former world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson and podcaster Joe Rogan in the same room with oodles of magical fumes? A direct ticket to an entertainment utopia. Recently, Rogan opened up about his thoughts on Jake Paul’s challenge to Tyson.
Tyson was a guest at the ‘Joe Rogan Experience‘ podcast. In conversation, Rogan asked Tyson about his return to boxing and his fight with Roy Jones Jr.
Tyson answered by mentioning the fight, he also gave emphasis on Jake Paul’s involvement. He said, “Roy Jones got involved, then other fighters, Holyfield got involved, it just turned into a fiasco, and then the young guy, Jake Paul, he got involved, and that’s how he, that’s how the birth of Jake Paul began.”

Rogan further asks Tyson if being challenged by Jake Paul pi***s him off.
In response, Tyson contradicts by saying, “No it doesn’t, I think it’s awesome. I think it’s cool.”
However, Rogan finds Paul’s actions disrespectful. He adds, “That’s awesome that you handle it that way, because in a way I mean, it’s kind of insulting. It’s brave, it’s bold of him. But it’s also like Jesus Christ there’s levels to this world.”

The unlikely love story of Joe Rogan and Mike Tyson
The combination of podcast royalty Rogan and boxing royalty Tyson has paved way for some of the funniest moments on screen. In fact, Rogan even revealed that he was intimidated by Tyson.
Rogan was in conversation with Mark Normand on his podcast when he revealed that Tyson was the reason why the podcast table got wider.
Talking about the table, Rogan said, “He’s the reason why this table is this wide. I was going to make it more narrow. I even had a smaller table that we were working with as a guide.”
He further added, “I did an interview with Tyson and he was so amped up for this Roy Jones fight that I got nervous. I’m like I like that extra six inches”
The podcast Rogan had with Tyson paved the way for multiple hilarious instances. One particular instance was when Tyson scared Rogan during the talk.
The duo was reacting to one of Tyson’s training videos. However, Rogan found Tyson’s description of his training experiences funny. In response, Tyson told him that he was being serious, which in turn abruptly quietened Rogan.
