Popular fitness influencer reacts after Joe Rogan shouts him out on JRE episode with Mark Zuckerberg

Episode #2255 of The Joe Rogan Experience featured several notable moments, including the veteran MMA commentator praising social media fitness influencer Ben Patrick. This drew the latter's attention, who quickly took to his Instagram stories to express his gratitude toward Rogan.

The praise came during Rogan's conversation with Meta Platforms CEO and founder Mark Zuckerberg, who was asked whether he has previously considered Patrick's mobility training for rehab. After Zuckerberg revealing that he has researched it, Rogan says the following:

"The Knees Over Toes Guy's stuff is particularly effective because it all comes from a guy who had a series of pretty catastrophic knee injuries and was plagued with weak knees his whole life, and then developed a bunch of different methods to strengthen all the supporting muscles around the knee that are really extraordinary."

When Patrick caught wind of Rogan's praise, he was overcome with gratitude. After recording a snippet of episode #2255 of Rogan's podcast, Patrick penned a thank you note to the longtime UFC commentator. Moreover, he also encouraged new fans to familiarize themselves with his content.

He even directed those who stumble onto his Instagram page to his highlights for better educational material surrounding joint mobility.

"Thank you @joerogan for the kind words in your podcast with @zuck!!! For anyone new here, I've only been doing educational series lately, and the top of my page shows these in order as Highlights so you can study what I know relatively quickly but fully. I hope this saves you a ton of time compared to scanning random posts!"
