Joe Rogan has built one of the strongest podcasts in the world due to his willingness to discuss any issue, regardless of how controversial it may be.
While he generally focuses on topics related to his guests' line of work, he often discusses mixed martial arts at some point in the conversation. Speaking to guests Francis Foster and Konstantin Kisin on episode #2297 of The Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan discussed why Russian fighters are scary opponents.
Foster invoked the quote that God is a comedian playing to an audience too afraid to laugh, leading Kisin to joke:
"If that happened to me, my Russian grandmother would just be like, 'God is punishing you'."
