Joe Rogan podcast interrupted by adorable intruder
Joe Rogan's new podcast episode was briefly, and adorably, interrupted by his dog.
During Friday's episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, the comedian's golden retriever, Marshall, woke up from a nap and proceeded to receive lots of attention from his owner.
Newsweek reached out to Rogan's representative via email for comment on Tuesday.
Why It Matters
Rogan is one of the world's most influential podcast hosts. The Joe Rogan Experience is often number one on Spotify's podcast charts, and he boasts millions of followers across social media, including 19.9 million on Instagram and 15.4 million on X.
The 57-year-old got his start in the 1990s with roles on Hardball and NewsRadio, and formerly hosted the competition show Fear Factor.
What To Know
On the most recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan paused his chat on jiu-jitsu and kickboxing with artist Mike Maxwell to speak to his pup.
"Where you going, Marshie? Marshall just woke up," the UFC commentator said, referring to his dog, who is named after Marshall Mathers, better known as rapper Eminem.
"I saw your new puppy," Maxwell shared, to which Rogan replied, "Oh, he's adorable."
Last week, Rogan posted a photo of his new puppy named Charlie Lou on Instagram.
"This impossibly cute fella is @marshallmaerogan's new best friend," Rogan captioned a picture of himself holding his newest family member. "Meet @charlielourogan."
The actor said on the podcast that the two dogs are "really fun together" and noted that the breed is a King Charles Spaniel.
"Marshie, come here, buddy," Rogan continued, encouraging Marshall to meet his listeners. "Come say hi to everybody. Come here, come on."
"He's such a cutie," Maxwell said.
"He's the best. Golden retrievers are the absolute best dogs," Rogan said. "They're just all love. They just want to cuddle with you, and hang out with you and want to play. But the whole thing is they just want to be with you."
"He's just the best," Rogan added, while speaking in baby talk. "And he's sweet to everybody."
"I wish they lived like 150 years," Maxwell said.
