Joe Rogan’s experience with Faroese whale meat

Joe Rogan is not one who is easily shocked.

However, in a recent episode of his popular podcast show ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’, he was slightly taken aback, to say the least.

His guest, fellow YouTuber Sonny Side, had brought along a bag containing dried pilot whale meat, which he was given during his recent visit to the Faroes.

Side showed Rogan a video clip of a pilot whale hunt in the Faroes.

The host’s first reaction was: “Oh my God. This is horrific!”

Side explained about the special Faroese whaling tradition and offered Rogan a bag containing dried pilot whale meat.

Rogan took out a piece of meat, sniffed at it and put it to the side, saying “I’ll think about it.”
