"That's why Tom Brady getting divorced. [You think that's why?] Yeah, because you can't be that good and be a good— you can't be a great anything and be a— maybe you can be great at two, maybe a great husband and a great quarterback, but you can't be a great quarterback, a great husband, a great father. It's like you can't.”

Joe Rogan shares his thoughts on failing marriage rates in America

On episode #147 of JRE MMA, Joe Rogan spoke with former UFC bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley and his coach, Tim Welch. At one point in the conversation, they discussed the rising divorce rates in America.

Rogan highlighted how social media, particularly Instagram, contributes to infidelity, arguing that many married women use the platform to seek attention from other men, which can lead to relationship issues. He said:

"Instagram is essentially an infidelity accelerating machine. I know guys who are married, and their wives page[s] is all their wife sticking thei t*tties out and sticking their butt out. I mean, it's literally the whole page. And I'm not talking about girls who are professional fitness influencers that are just showing how good their body is. I'm talking about regular gals."

He continued:

"Some of them are just *ss and t*tties, and like, 'Do you like my feet?' And they're married! Right? So, you know they're getting bombed on in the DMs, like constantly. And if something goes wrong in the marriage, they have probably so many options. Pro-athletes are DM'ing them. Who knows, you know?"
