The UFC color commentator Joe Rogan’s career is more controversial and diverse than ever before. The 55-year-old wears many hats, from being a stand-up comedian to hosting Spotify’s biggest podcast. Joe has drawn backlash from critics and fans alike on more than one occasion. However, lately, he’s been under the spotlight either because of an individual that he guests on the show or a controversial subject they discuss.
Rogan has had guests ranging from Elon Musk to Kanye West. In a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, controversial artist David Choe made an appearance. The 46-year-old is an American artist with Korean roots. Choe also works as a musician and podcast host in Los Angeles. His illustrations have appeared in various magazines like Hustler and Ray Gun.
While discussing the subject of cannibalism, David said, “Speaking as a cannibal myself, culturally I don’t know if you did this when your kids were born. But, there’s cultures that eat the placenta.” To which Rogan responded, “I did not, but my uncle did it.”
Choe continued, “So am I a cannibal if I eat the placenta? I ate my wife’s placenta and then I don’t know if the jury’s out [on] whether it does anything or not. But, we have been doing it as humans for thousands of years. So [if] any of my friends whose wives get pregnant I go ‘hey if you’re gonna throw it [the placenta] out, I’ll take it. So I have a freezer full of human placenta.”
“If my friend’s wife is Indian, does it have a different flavor than if it’s a white person or if it’s a Korean or a black person?” added Choe.
David is known for his figurative paintings which particularly focus on themes of degradation and exaltation. A method he’s personally titled dirty style. Even on the podcast, Choe showed up with the lower half of his face covered in red paint.
