Joe Rogan recently released the #2195 episode of his famous JRE podcast and invited Andrew Huberman for a chat. Huberman is a neuroscientist who constantly gives out ideas for how to improve health with the use of science-based tools. However, in the latest podcast, the pair discussed how elite athletes start training from a very early age, which helps them in the long run. While training does play a massive role in success, Huberman believes genetics also plays a huge role. He narrated a wonderful incident from the Paris Olympics to back his claims.

The Olympics is one of those events which features some of the elite athletes from all around the world competing against each other. However, this year the Paris Olympics witnessed one of the biggest upsets in the 1500 m race. While speaking to Rogan, Huberman pointed out as to what exactly happened in the race. The neuroscientist is one of the fittest individuals and pointed out how he has been participating in Olympic trials for the last four years.

He said during ‘Joe Rogan Experience’ #2195, “I’m a big track and field fan and went up to the Olympic track and field trials in Eugene, Oregon. I love the town on Eugene. I go to every trial I can for the last four Olympic trials. Earlier that summer I ran into a guy named Cole Hocker.” Talking about Hocker, Huberman gave an insight as to how the Americans faced a lot of struggles in the race. Two of the biggest names in the race, Josh Kerr and Jakob Ingebrigtsen, were the main attraction of the night.

Cole Hocker, however, stole the gold medal from them in a new Olympic record time of 3:27.65. Huberman explained how exactly the race went and said, “This is right, the final lap, so watch this so he breaks into fifth position after they box him into win. I don’t know if you caught that but basically he’s in the fifth position. So he kicks it at the end against the world record holder. He’s way back and then they box him in later and he wins.” 

The JRE host was highly impressed after watching the race and added, “Damn they are running fast for a mile that’s so crazy. They they could run at that speed. ” Huberman then pointed out that the new 1500 m winner has been running from the age of 8, which has helped him develop his skill level and which eventually made the difference in the end. While Rogan did enjoy watching the race with his guest, he has one issue with the Olympics, which has the netizens up in arms.

Joe Rogan wants this particular change to happen in the Olympics

UFC color commentator Joe Rogan is never shy from sharing his opinion on important matters. One of his biggest concerns for the podcast host has been pay-related issues. According to the 57-year-old, the athletes should earn the bulk of the money as they are performing for the sport. However, his opinion is not only confined to the UFC but has also shifted to the Olympics. Rogan traveled to Paris to witness the event and brought up the discussion while speaking to Christian Angermayer and Dr. Aron D’Souza on episode #2166 of his famous JRE podcast.

One of the biggest concerns for the JRE host was the winners not getting enough prize money. Rogan feels that the kind of effort required to win a medal at the Olympics should be rewarded with millions of dollars. He said, “All of them should be getting millions of dollars. All the winners of the gold medals, all those people that are generating insane amounts of wealth for the Olympics, they should get a giant piece of that.” This is not the first time that Rogan has advised some changes for any particular sport.

The big thing, however, is whether it will be accepted. What do you feel about Joe Rogan’s claims? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
