Joe Rogan’s reaction to Michael Phelps

Joe called Michael Phelps‘ medal count insane and called him the star of swimming. In the podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, the host said, “It’s interesting that Michael Phelps won all those gold medals in swimming and became this huge swimming star. I mean, think about how many swimming stars have been. How many others? There is Greg Louganis, who was more of a diving star than a swimming star, name me, another famous swimmer.”

It’s clear how much Joe Rogan is impressed with Michael Phelps. First, Joe analyzed the viral picture of Clad and Michael. In that picture, Clad was looking at Michael while they were swimming. Joe calls the picture a perfect example of a winner looking at winning and the loser focusing on the winner.

Michael and his opponent 

Phelps is also famously known as the Baltimore Bullet. He has accomplished many achievements in his career. But, talking about his opponents, Tyler Clary’s name comes first. Tyler once raised his finger on Phelps’ work ethic. He said, “The fact that he doesn’t have to work as hard to get that done, it’s a real shame.”

Clary said that Michael takes swimming for granted, “I think it’s too bad. You see that all too often, where you get athletes that are incredibly talented that really take it for granted. I think the things he could have done if he’d worked as hard as I do would have been even more incredible than what he has pulled off.”
