It appears that Joe Rogan’s decision to side with Apple Inc. may have come back to haunt him! The feud between iPhone and Android users has been raging ever since both brands changed the smartphone market forever with their unique approaches to design, function, and user satisfaction amongst other factors. While the iPhone was first unveiled to the public in 2007, it wasn’t long before Google also threw its hat into the ring leading to almost 15 years of ‘rivalry’, not just for the brands but also for their users.

And during his appearance on the JRE (Joe Rogan Experience), UFC’s Dustin Poirier found himself on the receiving end of some jabs by Joe Rogan for using an Android phone. But while the fighter affirmed his choice of smartphone, it appears that his wife, Jolie, has also taken his side with a cheeky dig at Rogan and his iPhone fandom on social media!

Dustin Poirier’s wife hasn’t forgotten Joe Rogan bullying her husband for his Android phone  

In his appearance on the JRE MMA Show #102 in February 2021, Dustin Poirier attempted to show Joe Rogan some pictures from his surgery which involved the doctors removing a lot of “bone” from his body. While trying to share the picture, Poirier was apparently facing some difficulties which prompted the podcast host to interject and ask, “What’s happening with your phone? Do you need help? Maybe you should get an iPhone, would be super f**king easy.”

But ‘The Diamond’ was unfazed as he kept trying to share the picture, and when Rogan asked if he was going to “get an iPhone?”, Poirier responded by simply stating, “No”. This piqued Rogan’s interest as he then asked if Poirier was, “…committed to the Android phone?”

When the Louisiana native affirmed that he was, Rogan stated, “Coz people f**k with you, right? You’re one of those guys…”, Poirier, however, stood his ground, explaining that he was used to his Android and didn’t want to switch. Rogan continued to tease, mentioning the strong commitment some people have to Androids and how many eventually switch to iPhones. And while Poirier admitted he had considered it he still wanted to remain loyal to his choice of phone.

The situation also drew a response from Jolie Poirier, Dustin’s wife, who appeared to have not forgotten the ‘bullying’ her husband endured as she recently shared an update on Instagram with the caption, “Take me back to the Caribbean 🐠 @dustinpoirier with the cool Samsung 😎🤳🏽”

With a playful dig at Rogan, Jolie Poirier’s support showcased a clever way to turn the teasing on its head, showing that the Poirier family stands together and has a sense of humor about such matters. And despite enduring digs about his phone choices, ‘The Diamond’ also found himself getting rewarded for his loyalty towards the Android phones by a major name in the smartphone world!

Dustin Poirier’s decision to stick with his Android phone despite the ’teasing’ and ‘bullying’ he had to endure also led to him finding support from the tech giant, Samsung. After his appearance on Joe Rogan, Poirier was featured on legendary boxing trainer, Teddy Atlas’s podcast, where he shared the story of how Samsung reached out personally to him for his support of their phones.

He revealed, “I am out here on Joe Rogan’s podcast, talking about how much of a fan I am of Samsung and they reach out and it’s just organic and true because I am using the product.”

Poirier also explained that his decision to take on endorsements and sponsorship deals is predicated upon his own experiences and usage of the brands. He bluntly stated, “I am not going to partner with a brand unless it’s something that I used…..”

This entire episode highlights the light-hearted nature of personal tech preferences and how they can spark amusing interactions and demonstrates the power of genuine brand loyalty as Poirier’s refusal to switch to an iPhone ultimately paid off for him!
