Joe Rogan disappointed with the drug bust

On July 13th, 2022, stand-up comedian and podcaster Paul Virzi made an appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast. The two talked about the drug bust cases in baseball. Joe Rogan mentioned how there were no issues with drug intake in baseball back in the 1970s. They then joked about the impact drugs had on the number of home runs in a season.

Rogan briefly took a swipe at former President of the USA, Ronald Reagan’s ‘War On Drugs’ in the year 1986. About the pre-drug bust era baseball, Rogan quoted, “Those guys, like if you think about it, they made baseball more interesting though. Like it’s so stupid that they busted them for that. They should have been just like, everybody shut the f*** up.” 

Paul Virzi fully agreed with what Joe Rogan had to say and replied, “They brought baseball back.”

So Joe Rogan hilariously slammed Mark McGwire as willing to decrease the number of home runs per season.
