Joe Rogan is being criticized online for a bad habit during a recent episode of his podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience.
Newsweek reached out to Rogan's representative via email for comment.
The Context
Rogan is one of the most influential global podcasters. He began The Joe Rogan Experience in 2009 and has completed 2,326 episodes to date. On the show, he interviews politicians, actors, athletes and more. Some of his previous podcast guests include President Donald Trump, chef Guy Fieri, billionaire Elon Musk, actor Jeremy Renner and former professional boxer Mike Tyson.
What To Know
On Wednesday's three-hour episode of The Joe Rogan Experience with NFL star Aaron Rodgers, Rogan received backlash for discussing a variety of topics—including vaccines, Netflix and New Jersey's mystery drones—but not the future of his football career.
Fans were also irked by something else: his loud chewing. Some listeners said they couldn't finish the episode because of it.
While it's unclear what exactly Rogan was munching on, the former Fear Factor host has raved about Neuro gum and mints on his podcast. During episode 2,290 with standup comedian Michael Kosta, Rogan said he's "a big fan" of their products.
"I chew it all the time," Rogan told Kosta in March, referring to the gum. "It's gum that has a little bit of caffeine, a little bit of theanine in it."

New 'Predator' First Look Shows Bloody Battle Between Vikings vs Predators
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors The animated anthology film "Predator: Killer of Killers" releases Friday, June 6, and Hulu has just released the first full clip from the feature. The clip takes place in the middle of a battle between one of the titular hunters and a number of Viking warriors. You can watch the clip below. Read More: 'A Minecraft Movie' Hits HBO Max for Free Streaming in June: What to Know For fans of the "Predator" franchise, one of the first major noteworthy differences is that this Yautja seems to be quite a bit larger than most of the creatures we've seen on screen. Fans will also no doubt notice that he seems to have a cybernetic appendage where his right hand should be. "Predator: Killer of Killers" "Predator: Killer of Killers" 20th Century Studios This is only one of at least three Predators viewers will encounter in "Predator: Killer of Killers". Along with the Yautja hunter in this clip, at least one will be battling samurai and ninja in Japan, while a third will be taking on combat pilots in World War II. "Predator: Killers of Killers" is directed by Dan Trachtenberg and Micho Robert Rutare, and written by Rutare. Trachtenberg previously directed the 2022 "Predator" prequel film, "Prey". Trachtenberg has made sure this year would be a busy one for the "Predator" franchise. Along with "Killer of Killers", Trachtenberg directed the live-action film "Predator: Badlands," which releases in theaters in November. Trachtenberg talked to ComicBook back in April about exactly how "Killer of Killers" came to be. "I had three very cool ideas," Trachtenberg said. "One of them, the first one, the one I was the most excited about at the time, was 'Badlands.' But then there was this other thing, that was 'Prey,' [that] was really cool." "We got to put the Predator in these different time periods and tell that story. I think the thing that made 'Prey' special, though, wasn't just Predator in a different time period, it was that the story we were telling was made better by the story of the Predator, and I didn't want to just throw them into a different time period." "I really wanted to figure out, if we were to do that kind of thing again, how could it be special? And what's the kind of story we could tell that could be equally badass and awesome, but also emotional and thematic and character-oriented?" "In thinking about the different time periods, I honed in on the idea of, what if we made an animated movie where we could express ourselves in a way that we don't get to see?" "We've now had all these Predator movies and we're doing this one that's crazy different, but still with all the stuff..." "The other side of the coin that I love in Predator movies is that hard-R, crazy carnage. Wouldn't it be cool to see that in a different medium? So we made this movie, 'Killer of Killers,' at the exact same time, stupidly, but awesomely." "Predator: Killer of Killers" streams on Hulu on Friday, June 6.

MoreThe veteran caddie is accompanied by several people who appear to be other members of Scheffler's team. They all point to Scheffler's golf bag while celebrating to the beat of the music. The video was originally posted by Scott on his Instagram account, which has over 140,000 followers. It was his way of thanking the crew that helped Scheffler win: "Could not have done it again without this crew right here! Thank you men!," he posted. 🚨🕺🏆 #NEW — Scottie Scheffler's caddie Ted Scott busts a move in the locker room following his bosses win at The Memorial Tournament (🎥 via Ted Scott / IG) — NUCLR GOLF (@NUCLRGOLF) June 2, 2025 Scott and Scheffler began working together at the start of the 2022 season. Since then, the current World No. 1 has won all 16 of his PGA Tour titles, including three major championships and one TOUR Championship. Add to that that Scheffler has also won an Olympic title and two editions of the Hero World Challenges with Scott carrying his bag. Scott is one of the most successful caddies on the PGA Tour. Prior to working with Scheffler, he caddied for Bubba Watson, being by his side in his two Masters Tournament victories. Scheffler's win at this weekend's Memorial Tournament marked the third time he has successfully defended a title. He previously did so at the Players Championship (2023 and 2024) and the WM Phoenix Open (2022 and 2023). According to DraftKings, only two other players have accomplished this feat more times in the past 30 years: Phil Mickelson (five times) and Tiger Woods (23 times). Not for nothing, Scheffler earned the highest praise from Jack Nicklaus himself. The legendary 18-time major champion spoke wonders about Scottie's level of play: "He reminds me so much of the way I like to play," said Nicklaus during the winner's press conference. "I don't think I played nearly as well as he played. He's playing better than I played and more consistent. He's just been playing fantastic, and I love watching him play." Scheffler's next start will be the U.S. Open in two weeks at Oakmont, where he is once again among the top favorites to win.
