During the podcast with Mike Tyson, he was speaking about how the show was actually brought over from the Netherlands and he had nothing to do with it. Later he started speaking about the state of mind he had on the show.

Rogan said, “It was just too weird. It was such a weird job because I thought when I signed up to do it, I really thought it was going to be canceled. I was like how are they going to set dogs on people? How are they going to make people eat eyeballs and sh*t? This is gonna go off the air.“
