“He Is Smart as Fu**”: Chris Bumstead Raves About Joe Rogan Despite Viral Chatter About His Podcast Being a Huge “Red Flag”

The 2023 Mr. Olympia is right around the corner, and bodybuilders are packing a punch with their strenuous diet and exercise. Speculations are rife as to who would lift the trophy this time. Winning the title requires years of effort and even ignoring personal challenges. Amidst all the chatter about winning and losing, one name stands tall. It is none other than bodybuilding heartthrob Chris Bumstead. Every action of the 4x Classic Physique champion becomes viral news. Earlier, Bumstead made a startling revelation about a famous UFC commentator.

Appearing on a podcast hosted by his mentor, Hany Rambod, Bumstead discussed many topics, including his prep and challenges. He made an interesting comment about Joe Rogan, amidst research that looks at the impact of the JRE podcast on love life. 

Chris Bumstead wants to collab with Joe Rogan

Many stars and sports persons have graced the hot seat of “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast. Released in 2009, JRE soon became a cultural phenomenon. Even aesthetic fitness icon Chris Bumstead feels the same, showing his admiration for the host. When elite coach Hany Rambod asked Mr. Olympia who he would like to collaborate with, CBum had his response ready. 

“If it’s collab in terms of like content I feel like it would be cool to do something with Joe Rogan Rogan,” stated the 28-year-old. He further added, “Someone who’s just like the cool dude. He seems super easy, like a straight shooter no bull**** you know obviously, a huge podcast would be cool. Just to chat with him and understand his mind. He’s smart as fu**.” His comments come at the heels of a research finding that the JRE podcast is allegedly bad for relationships. 

According to a study by “Change Research” women find men listening to the podcast a “red flag.” Thus, it affects their dating choices. However, Bumstead is considered a heartthrob of the fitness world for his charmingly good looks, so maybe women would not mind him appearing on any show. This light-hearted conversation provides a respite to the fitness world and Cbum. The 2023 prep has not been a smooth ride for the bodybuilder as he has faced some challenges.

Bumstead’s mentor announced retirement

His brother-in-law, Iain Valliere, announced his retirement from the sport a few days back. The Canadian bodybuilder was also CBum’s mentor till 2022, before Hany Rambod took the responsibility. Supporting Valliere’s decision, the strength classic champion wrote, “Wouldn’t be where I am or who I am without you, brother. Proud of your career and this decision.”

These highs and lows of the fitness world highlight the struggle of the warriors that often remain hidden from the public eye.
