When Mr Beast's $10 million worth YouTube studio reminded Joe Rogan of his "Fear Factor set"

Joe Rogan once revealed that Mr Beast's YouTube studio reminded him of the set of Fear Factor, the stunt/dare game show he previously hosted from 2001-06.

Back in 2022, Rogan welcomed Mr Beast, AKA Jimmy Donaldson, to his studio, where the pair discussed his ever-growing YouTube success. Donaldson is considered to be one of the biggest and most ambitious content creators working today, with the UFC color commentator then wanting to delve deeper into what it takes to produce the videos he does.

Whilst chatting, Rogan specificially mentioned Mr Beast's 'Squid Game' video that was uploaded in 2021. By his own admission, Donaldson revealed they spent a staggering $4 million on the video, as they looked to cash in on the popularity of the Netflix show with the same title.

The JRE host then asked Mr Beast about his studio and the sets he requires, to which Donaldson stated he owns four large warehouses where the sets are created. He said:

"We have ginormous warehouses, sound-proofed, a thousand sprinklers. I can do sh*t like blow up a car and you'd drown before you burned to death in there. We can do dumb sh*t. It's like the perfect wonderland."

Joe Rogan then noted that the studios and the set up remind him of when he worked on Fear Factor. He said:

"That's incredible dude. This is like something that looks like the Fear Factor set. It's really cool, I love what you do. I think it's amazing the dedication you have to doing this stuff."

Joe Rogan takes aim at Olympics for Imane Khelif controversy

Joe Rogan has called out the International Olympic Committee (IOC) for allowing Algerian boxer Imane Khelif to compete.

Khelif made headlines yesterday when she defeated Angela Carini. The Italian quit the bout after just 46 seconds and was pictured in tears as she told her team, "It's not right."

The controversy stems from Khelif being disqualified from the women's world championships last year after she failed a gender eligibility test. The IOC allowed her to compete in Paris, however, after no longer recognizing the International Boxing Association's (IAB) ruling from the World Championships.

Rogan then put the Olympic committee on blast, despite Imane Khelif being born female and identifying as female. He said:

"This woman [Carini] today got punched in the face by a man. They let a transgender boxer fight in women's boxing. What the f*ck...Why not just let all men compete in women's sports? Well men would dominate. There's a reason why men and women's sports are all separated. Because it's not fair!"
