During a river interview with Joe Rogan, a divisive figure in the American podcast, Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg opened up about the psychological weight imposed on him by his position. And took the opportunity to declare his love for MMA, he who no longer has time to go surfing on his ranch in Hawaii.
Who is Joe Rogan?
Champion of American freedom of expression, Joe Rogan is a very controversial figure in American podcasting. his show, The Joe Rogan Experience, is indeed criticized by all political camps. First because of the declarations of the host himself, capable of sometimes showing himself to be violently reactionary or radically progressive. Then by the choice of its guests, both political figures of all persuasions and pop culture stars, or even entrepreneurs and billionaires.
Despite its relatively simple format – a casual face-to-face discussion lasting several hours with a guest – this podcast is now one of the most listened to in the world. And if the complex personality of Rogan plays in the interest which is brought to him, the level of the guests is not there for nothing either. His weekly show has already seen him receive figures like Bernie Sanders, Elon Musk, or even Alex Jones. Personalities whose only common point is probably the participation in this podcast.
The passing of Mark Zuckerberg
The format of several hours of the show, as well as the informal tone which is practiced there, allow to touch a wide variety of more or less serious subjects about the guest. As demonstrated by one of the last episodes released, in which Rogan receives Mark Zuckerberg.
After having once again extolled the merits ofHorizon Worlds, he also outlined his vision for the future. For him, we will not leave home one day without his VR headset, and most of the furniture we buy will be made of holograms. Other statements by the creator of Facebook during this broadcast are also widely controversial, such as when he explains that the platform “ Instagram is a very positive place “.
However, this interview may be one of the first times Zuckerberg cracks the breastplate. In particular, he reveals that for him, getting up every morning as CEO of Meta comes down to “ get punched in the stomach “. And explains what he does to forget, for a moment, the “ million posts which awaits him every day when he gets up: MMA. A sport, according to him, which does not allow him to think about anything else, like jogging. “ After an hour or two of battling with his friends, you feel like you can solve all the problems of the day! “.
