Former Navy SEAL grateful after becoming Joe Rogan's latest podcast guest: "You are one cool MFer"

Former Navy SEAL Shawn Ryan thanked Joe Rogan for the opportunity to appear on his legendary podcast.

Over the past decade, no podcast has been more successful than The Joe Rogan Experience. The UFC commentator brings various guests on his show every month, including standup comedians, fighters, authors, actors, and more.

Earlier this week, Rogan released his episode #2207 with Shawn Ryan. The former Navy SEAL and CIA contractor hosts his own podcast called The Shawn Ryan Show and created 'Vigilance Elite Gummy Bears.'

Following his JRE appearance, Ryan took to X and posted a photo with Rogan featuring the caption:

"WHAT A DAY! Everyone in podcasting owes this man some serious gratitude for paving the way. Thank you @joerogan You are one cool MFer!"

Shawn Ryan's company, Vigilance Elite Gummy Bears, prides themselves on maintaining their production in the United States. Ryan has clarified many times in the past that there isn't any CBD or cannabis in his products. He created the snack because he loves junk food and wanted to be different.

When is Joe Rogan expected to comment for the UFC next?

Later this week, the UFC will return to Paris, France for a fight night event headlined by Renato Moicano vs. Benoit Saint-Denis. Joe Rogan won't be in attendance on Saturday, as he primarily joins the UFC commentary teams for pay-per-view events in North America.

Rogan's next appearance is expected to be on Oct. 5 at UFC 307. The pay-per-view event goes down inside the Vivint Arena in Salt Lake City, Utah, with Alex Pereira defending his light heavyweight title in the main event.

In November 2023, Pereira knocked out Jiri Prochazka for the vacant light heavyweight world title. Since then, the Brazilian fan favorite has defended his throne with two more knockouts against Jamahal Hill and Prochazka in a rematch.

Pereira's next opponent is slightly back in the rankings, as he's been matched up against number eight-ranked Khalil Rountree Jr. The 34-year-old is riding a five-fight winning streak, including a knockout win against Anthony Smith last time out.

As for the co-main event, Raquel Pennington looks to defend her women's bantamweight title for the first time. To do so, Pennington must take out former champion Julianna Pena, who hasn't fought since July 2022.
