Joe Rogan’s podcast has undoubtedly stood the test of time, as it is still the world’s most popular podcast in terms of ratings. However, this does not imply that the podcast has never lost viewers. In reality, many of his followers have quit watching his programs for a very specific reason, which came to light after the UFC commentator’s most recent show with Jiri Prochazka. So what’s the reason?

According to many fans, Joe Rogan has become far more political than he has ever been. Previously, the podcaster was known for his loud but unbiased opinions, calling out wrongdoing regardless of who was involved. According to fans, his topics were much more educational or intriguing. However, if there is one thing that his latest episode revealed, it is that fans are now turning their backs against him.

Especially after he endorsed Donald Trump during the November elections while also calling him and Vice President JD Vance on the podcast. So, when Joe Rogan finally flipped the switch and launched the JRE MMA Show, fans were relieved to see the UFC commentator discuss something he is truly passionate about. In addition, the fact that someone as likable as Jiri Prochazka is on his show now made fans finally tune back in.

Jiri Prochazka is a very likeable guy as per MMA fans. Rivals only inside the octagon. This seemed to be the motto of Jiri Prochazka after the duel in the Octagon at UFC 311, as he met Jamahal Hill in a bar in Los Angeles and was seen having a drink together. So, when such a likable guy made his way to their once-favorite podcast, the fans had some interesting comments to share.

Fans finally sing praise for Joe Rogan

As soon as the JRE host uploaded the latest episode of the JRE MMA show with Jiri Prochazka, fans quickly shared their thoughts on it. One opinion that ruled over all others was the fact that finally, Joe Rogan uploaded an episode with no politics in it. The fans wanted this much-needed break since they revealed they were growing tired of it. In fact, many even stopped watching the show altogether. They wrote, “I love the MMA podcasts since they’re usually a break from politics,” “Finished it about an hour ago. No politics, just martial arts! great episode,” and “This episode actually has no politics in it. Congrats.”

More fans joined in and shared similar sentiments. After all, a lot of people had stopped watching the show due to the constant discussion of politics. One fan even wrote in the comments that it is only because of non-political episodes with good guests that he does not stop watching the show. “Every time I hate JRE and say I’m done, they bring on gas like this.” Other fans also revealed that they prefer the MMA show over the regular podcast now. They shared, “This is the only JRE I listen to nowadays.” and “I will always listen to Joe’s MMA pods.”

But not everyone was occupied with the thoughts of JRE and politics. Many others took the time to praise ‘nice guy’ Jiri Prochazka and thanked Rogan for bringing him on the show. After all, his recent deed for UFC 311 also went viral as he shaved his head to show his support to a fan who was suffering from cancer. If that wasn’t enough, he also made a donation of approximately $50,000 to cancer research. So, when Mr. Nice Guy finally made his appearance on the podcast, fans couldn’t help but praise him. They wrote in the comments, “Didn’t think I could like him more,” “He’s even nicer than I thought,” and “Guy is so interesting. I can’t wait to watch this. Gotta love Jiri.” Well, what do you think? Should Joe Rogan refrain from discussing politics on his podcast? Let us know in the comments.
