AUSTIN, TEXAS: American UFC commentator, podcaster, comedian, and former television host Joe Rogan is well-known for his uncensored viewpoints on a variety of subjects.

Rogan has made a name for himself as a podcaster who doesn't shy away from any subject. In one of his wildly famous podcasts, 'The Joe Rogan Experience,' Rogan discussed a subject that almost everyone has an opinion on.

An Instagram account posted a clip from the show. In the video, Rogan discussed an old relationship and offered a really poignant outlook on love.

Joe Rogan talks about his old relationship

Rogan shared a fascinating personal experience in a podcast segment that went viral. He related a story of a previous love interest in which the other person thought their time together was "wasted." Rogan was clearly shocked.

“I dated a girl once. When we broke up she said ‘I wasted all this time with you’. I said, ‘Oh.’ I go ‘I thought we’re dating,’” Rogan said while reflecting on the situation.



 

It had probably been years after the occurrence, but his astonishment at the comment was still extremely obvious and telling.“I didn’t know you were investing. ‘I wasted it’. Oh, you wasted it,” he added.

He repeated the idea to dispel the ridiculous notion. Additionally, he offered some critique of the viewpoint that appeared to be most popular with viewers.

Joe Rogan’s relationship advice

Rogan elaborated, “I guess every relationship when it’s over is a waste. Like what? That’s so bizarre. Bizarre way of thinking.”

Rogan's observations highlight a propensity to view relationships as binary, as successes or failures. His conclusion appears to be that conceiving of a relationship as either a victory or a loss is a highly constricting and "bizarre" way of thinking.

The esteemed UFC analyst appears to think that every battle has some kind of importance. He disagreed with the prevailing wisdom that an incident's value is only based on how long it lasts.
