There’s no doubt that Joe Rogan is one of the most interesting people in the UFC. The color commentator runs one of the biggest podcast shows in the world, The Joe Rogan Experience. The JRE show has had a lot of famous guests from the MMA world on it, including Max Holloway, BJ Penn, and Michael Bisping.

On an episode of his podcast show, with the UFC lightweight contender Dustin Poirier, Rogan and Poirier had a conversation about their smartphones. Rogan pestered Poirier to switch his Android phone with an iPhone. He pulled his leg on the podcast show because Poirier was having trouble completing a task on his android phone.

Rogan told him, “maybe you should just get an iPhone. It would be super f**ing easy.” He asked Poirier if he was planning to make the move from Android to iPhone and Poirier seemed to not be interested in making the change at the moment. ‘The Diamond’ was just used to his android and seemed to be very content with it.

Rogan said, “It’s an interesting thing, the commitment that people have to an android. When they have it they’re like, no f**k you. I’m sticking to my guns. And when they do give in, they do give in. A lot of them give in.”

He then jokingly asked Dustin Poirier, “Does your wife have an iPhone?” When Poirier said yes, Rogan said, “that’s a problem,” and they laughed about the fact that he can’t AirDrop pictures with his wife.
