Joe Rogan‘s days in the fear factor were filled with menacing events. The million-dollar podcaster was one of the prime faces of America’s prime-time show, Fear Factor. The show revolved around random people doing the most daring things, and in one of the episodes, Rogan himself had to break in to stop an altercation.

The season 6 of Fear Factor was wild, it was filled with gruesome challenges and finally, a contestant snapped and lashed out at the UFC commentator. Rogan in his latest episode of ‘JRE’ #2097 relived the moment and unraveled a decades-long secret about the show.

The time when Joe Rogan had to use his fighting skills

Generally, the Fear Factors contestants do not resolve to employ violence on the set. Why you ask? Because they already have their hands full with challenges that are too arduous for humans. Nevertheless, in the 10th episode of season 6 of the show, a peculiar thing happened that forced Joe Rogan to intervene and showcase why he left the world of fighting.

In a conversation with stand-up comic, actor, and broadcast personality Jeff Dye, Rogan relived the moment when he nearly snapped the neck of a contestant. Dye in conversation revealed the moment when Rogan had to let go of his calm demeanor. During that episode, a female contestant was lashing out at a male contestant, Rogan being the host of the show tried to calm the situation. But what followed was an unnecessary attempt by the lady’s husband to intervene and subdue Rogan.

Rogan then proceeded to grab the neck of the husband to calm him down. This incident happened nearly 19 years ago, and while Dye was chatting away on the topic, Rogan interrupted to make a massive claim that Fear Factor had no security “Well, that guy they’d warned me about. He had a history of violence and had done some violent things on some other reality shows. There was no security. That was part of the problem. That was around maniacs. There was zero security.”

The face-off was violent but the husband was not as strong as Rogan. In a separate statement, the podcaster explained what transpired between them that started the altercation.

Rogan explained the chronology of the face-off

The former fear factor host was hooked on that day. He explained that he never wanted to fight but he had to. In a separate statement, Rogan explained his side of the story. “There was a guy who was on that show, ‘The Amazing Race’, and him and his wife were contestants on the show. They were screaming and yelling at each other the whole time they were on the show. It was disgusting.”

Rogan further explained Johhny Fairplay was thrash-talking the couple. Rogan said “He was yelling at the guy. “She’s dead weight. You can do better. You deserve better. They get eliminated… The wife walks up to Johnny and punches him as hard as she can in his stomach and he falls over. And I go hey he fell over… He really got hurt. I go “What are you doing? You can’t go around hitting people…”

The BJJ black belt further emphasized that the couple got eliminated after the fight. Nonetheless, one thing’s for sure, you do not go to Joe Rogan and threaten him for a fight.
