When Rogan’s guest brought up popular memes made about the actor, the podcast host snapped, “I don’t give a f**k what they are saying about him. They’re all insane people. What it is, is a bully pile on. These people see someone being vulnerable and they snipe at him. He hasn’t done nothing.”

The UFC commentator then reiterated his claim that Pratt was being singled out. “He’s one of the rare guys in Hollywood. He’s a Christian, and pretty open about it.

Joe Rogan also shared positive experiences he’s had with the actor and praised him for how he treats others. “I’ve seen him interact with people and he’s super normal. He’s super kind and fun to be around. He talks with everyone, all walks of life.”
