Joe Rogan Experience #1416 - Rob Kearney

two you are the first ever person with a mohawk on this podcast oh yeah
congratulations thank you
right is that accurate yeah just say yes make me feel good definitely the first
with a purple and
blue oh it's a full rainbow man oh oh yeah that's right all the way down the
back very very nice
absolutely very nice now first of all i love your handle world's strongest gay
that's me
that's hilarious this is there in that community is there acceptance is there
open is it just about
like they don't give a just as long as you're a real powerlifter yeah oh yeah
yeah no it's um
yeah when i came out it was super cool uh nobody really gave me any um that's
the best
part about strongman you know i know you had rob oberston here uh not too long
ago and he even
mentioned yeah you know he's something but i love him um you know he mentioned
just like the community
of strongman so is awesome because like we all realize what we have to do to
get to this level of
sport and we all have to be a little bit of you know sick and twisted in the
head to look at a truck
and get excited to pull it um so yeah when i came out like nobody really gave a
they were just like
all right as long as you can still lift weights we don't care yeah that's uh it
mirrors the comedy
community in that way for sure like stand-up comedy community nobody gives a no
as long as you're funny and
you're doing your job like that's all that really matters and we know some that
are in the closet and
we're like come on man just no one cares come out no one no one gives a it'll
probably be funnier
right it's more subject matter for sure you know not holding on to as much it's
easier to talk like
you know when i came out just like you know the you know weight off my
shoulders was uh was unbelievable
how long ago was this uh that was 2014 so i was 22 years old oh okay yeah so i
was a late bloomer
in the gay world was it like when you were in high school and like what first
of all when when do
you know you know i don't know that i have like i don't remember like i never
had like an aha moment
per se um for me it was going through high school like i was involved in a
bunch of stuff you know
was a cheerleader actually also played football um was doing the weightlifting
thing like was
class president so i had my hands in a bunch of different pots college super
into everything as
well um and really just focused on school and actually dated a girl for like a
year and a half
in college in college yeah um did you ever date a boy no so but did you like oh
damn i wish she was a
boy i mean she's cool but it was yeah pretty much you know it was uh it was it
was more like a friendship
than a relationship i guess is the way to put it you know like we were cool and
everything and
everything's going well but like nothing else was really going on when you came
out was she like aha
ah that was that was the reason i broke up with her oh you came out because you
know meanwhile you
know i'm dating this girl but i'm watching gay porn when she's not around i'm
like uh this isn't right
there's something else going on here so did you like was it gay porn like
finding gay porn you're
like that's what i like pretty much really yeah
gay porn is thought of very differently than straight porn because like
straight porn here's the the rub
in the straight community you look at straight porn you're like ah especially
someone like me who has
daughters you know somebody probably did something awful to those girls when
they were young like
that's like nine out of ten times yeah and that's why they turn to porn but
when you see gay porn it's
like a couple dudes would like to fuck pretty much it's like even like i've had
dan savage on and you
know we're talking about gay porn he's like it's like they don't think of it
the same way no not at
all yeah um yeah so i i ended up breaking up with that girl um and i told her i
was like yeah like i think
i'm gay and i need to like figure this out you know i'm 22 i want to at least
enjoy my 20s
you know trying to figure out if i if i like dudes or not was she like damn i
turned rob gay
she was not very nice about it was she oh yeah freak out yeah it didn't it went
downhill pretty
quickly oh really so oh yeah like we were living together at the time like
because we're in college
so like um like kind of living together and then like i got kicked out and was
like living in my car
for a little while so it was yeah kind of a show wow she kicked you out yeah
wow did you stay in
contact with her no not even a little bit wow uh yeah then like you know like
six months later she's
like blowing up my phone saying i gave her chlamydia i was like that's not on
me six months
not on me that's it's been longer than that too since we were doing anything so
oh that's hilarious
yeah cool yeah i don't think you keep chlamydia in your system dormant right i
wouldn't know get it
i think so i've dodged that bullet luckily but that seems like one that i think
you just get it
and then it's bad yeah it doesn't seem too pleasant i mean i don't think it and
that was
awesome too because like all those like calls and everything were coming
through when i was with
my now husband joey so like we were dating at that time and now my ex-girlfriend
is blowing
on my phone saying i gave her the clap but was he laughing at first she was
like what the is going
on because like we literally had been dating for two months oh so it was like
super new so he's like
what the did i get myself into right because you were a noob to the whole world
yeah so that's crazy
so you you become you decide okay i i gotta deal with reality i'm gay you meet
that one guy yeah and
then you're still with him still yeah with him we just got married this past
march that's been a year
that's kind of crazy yeah like you didn't even play the field no no i got real
you know it's funny
like i joke about this all the time because like we met in like the typical
millennial gay way on grinder
and you know i was i wasn't even out actually before we met so like on grinder
i was like that shirtless
torso pick oh because i was still you know good move yeah yeah obviously and he
was no they're not that
good but he thought they were so um so we he like you know saw me pop up in the
area i was like oh who's
this bitch messaged me and i thought he was catfishing me because i thought he
was way too hot for
me i thought he was out of my league um so i kind of just like got really lucky
with the first guy that
came my way that's um that's kind of be weird for her right yeah like imagine
being a girl and you're
with a guy and you're like man something is wrong with our relationship i mean
it's literally like the
most like like it's there's no more other like it's me it's you or no it's not
you it's me right um no
that is the it's not you i don't think there's anywhere to go you know higher
than that like well
unless you want to go pray the gay away yeah that doesn't work no but is it
that is like a way that
some people try to fix it yeah particularly like uber religious folks yeah it
is hilarious man i think
it's freaking funny i mean you know like and i i get a lot of i mean obviously
like with an instagram
handle world's strongest gay i get more on a daily basis on social media than i
can even count
um and most of it's from like religious people really oh yeah like they're
sending me like bible bible
verses telling me like i need to convert to christianity and by the way they're
probably jerking
off while they're doing probably thinking about you like oh you need you need
to stop it you need to
stop being so gay and delicious my uh my go-to response is you know hey man i
don't read fiction
so you keep doing that um but i just always think it's funny because you know
they're like
you know gay like obviously i'm very open about my sexuality on social media
and you know world's
strongest man has been super supportive of it they had world's strongest man in
june during pride month
this year and did a whole like little expose about me which was awesome and uh
the comments on the
world's strongest man they're like you're pushing the gay agenda like all this
and i'm
like listen man like the only agenda we're pushing is like i just want to be
treated like everybody else
and like get the same that you do you know i've never once like tried to make
someone gay
you know like meanwhile christians are in my dm saying like you need to convert
i'm like hey you need to
suck a dick like that's the gay agenda is a hilarious phrase like there's an
agenda i still don't even
know what it is so whoever's listening if you could like hit me up and let me
know i'd love to learn
about it yeah you need to get in a tighter knit club i guess i do the gay
agenda i guess the rainbow
mahawk doesn't make me that gay but what a hilarious thing that like you're
gonna it's not like you're
trying to get someone to be a mormon no you're the gay or not gay exactly yeah
why but why does someone
think that's like that's the weirdest kind of homophobia to me like i had a bit
in one of my
specials in the past what like there's two types of people that are afraid of
gay marriage is people
that are really dumb or they're secretly worried that dicks are delicious and i
i share that all the
time on my social media just so you know i think it's amazing but that's what
it is like worried
about the gay agenda like they're gonna come get me no give me to suck those
delicious dicks that's
what it's like it's like they're afraid it's unbelievable i think it's hysterical
it is hysterical
but well i was real lucky when i was a kid i was exposed to gay people real
young
when i was uh seven years old we moved to san francisco oh yeah yeah in the
1970s it was gay as
fuck and so i was around them all the time like my next door neighbor was this
gay couple my aunt used
to go next door and they would get they would get naked smoke pot and play bongos
together sick
yeah it was pretty crazy so for me that was normal life i was just like gay i
was around gay people
i didn't even hear the term faggot until i was 11 and we moved to florida i
remember hearing that
when i was like oh wow like i had a my friend um his name was um candy candido
he's a cuban kid and
his dad was real mad because gay people getting married he's reading this new
paper can't believe
this there was his new paper down and he was a grown man i remember being 11
goes why does he give a
shit like how weird literally doesn't affect him at all at all but he was so
upset yeah but it's a
but but it was important for me to see because i didn't know people like that
so to be around my
friend's dad and see him freak out like that i was like oh what a weird thing
to waste your time
thinking about for sure i mean that's and you were super lucky to have that
kind of upbringing yeah
see that ugly part of you know the world because i mean the thing is with me
you know i'm fortunate
enough where like not many people like talk to me in person right you know like
i'm an average
size strongman like i'm not really that big of a dude what's the average size
drama you're like 300
pounds and i'm the smallest guy that can eat how much do you weigh i'm like 285
right yeah that's not
average size bro well i mean i just competed this weekend against brian shaw
the 420.
yeah that's you know and six foot eight i'm 510 like hey man cool um you know
so like i'm fortunate
like most people don't talk to me in person it's like all on social media but
it did happen one time
in texas of all places i just finished a truck pull event uh this guy was like
calling me a
from the stands like all this stuff and like i just stopped and looked and i
was like dude
i suck dick and i'm stronger than you and the whole crowd just kind of like
went quiet and then he
walked away they just went quiet yeah they didn't like you know i i think like
in that situation like
i i feel like people feel like they're invincible like they feel like they have
the po
