One surprising moment occurred when Strickland called out Joe Rogan for placing him in a less-than-optimal setting during his invitation to the ‘Joe Rogan Experience’. JRE is the quite famous podcast of Joe Rogan, an American commentator and podcaster.
Sean Strickland exposed Joe Rogan for allegedly mistreating him when he appeared on the podcast to shoot ‘Joe Rogan Experience MMA Show #143’. This episode was aired on July 6, 2023. Sean Strickland had better and higher expectations from Joe Rogan concerning his accommodations.
Sean said, “Rogan put me on the very bottom floor…How much is your net worth bro? You can’t get me a suite or some sh*t? What the f*ck Rogan? He can’t buy me a dinner dude? You put me in here with midgets?” Sean said this with a reference to a “Midget Convention” that was going on in the hotel where he was accommodated.
“I think he might did it to f*ck with me too. Me and Rogan dude, you know we are like frenemies,” Strickland told Theo. Pretty much squashing any controversies that might spring up from this conversation, though Sean did pretty much expose Rogan.
Sean Strickland accuses Joe Rogan of abusing his assistant
Sean Strickland did not only make complaints about Joe Rogan in the ‘This Past Weekend’ podcast. He also made some serious accusations against the famous podcaster. Strickland claimed that Joe Rogan abuses his assistant, Young Jamie, who works on the production team of the JRE podcast. While talking about the JRE podcast, ‘Tarzan’ made some pretty serious accusations.
Sean said, “I was thrown off by Jamie,….I think Rogan abuses him, dude”. Strikland mentioned that he was thrown off by Jamie, expressing his belief that Rogan abuses him. ‘Tarzan’ went on to elaborate, stating that he initially pictured Jamie as a young white nerdy kid but realized he’s actually an angry man. The 32-year-old speculated that Rogan disciplines Jamie, citing instances where Rogan corrects him for speaking out of turn.
In response to Theo Von’s inquiry about Rogan’s actions during such instances, Sean clarified that Rogan assertively disciplines Young Jamie, stressing that he directs corrections specifically at Jamie regarding certain aspects of the podcast. Strickland drew a parallel between their relationship and that of an abusive father and son, expressing concern about the potential impact on Jamie.
Theo Von chimed in, wondering if there were more concerning actions taking place behind the scenes. Sean encouraged Young Jamie to speak up if he ever felt in danger, suggesting a degree of genuine worry about the impact of their professional relationship on Jamie’s well-being.
