UFC commentator Joe Rogan has called out US President Donald Trump on his podcast.
Rogan's podcast, 'The Joe Rogan Experience', is one of the most popular worldwide, with its Spotify page having amassed over 14.5 million followers.
The likes of Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, Mike Tyson and Elon Musk have all appeared on the show.
Trump himself also made a guest appearance in the lead-up to the 2024 US presidential election.

Rogan endorsed the Republican candidate on the day of the election in November, telling viewers that he had been convinced by multi-billionaire Musk - who would later be given a role heading up the highly-divisive Department of Governmental Efficiency (DOGE).
But the UFC commentator has become increasingly critical of the President in recent months.
He defended US talk-show host Jimmy Kimmel after he was briefly taken off air by ABC over comments made following the death of high-profile conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
Rogan said (via CNN): "I definitely don't think that the government should be involved ever in dictating what a comedian can or cannot say in a monologue."
Now, he has slammed Trump over his decision to install a plaque at the White House under the official portrait of previous President, Joe Biden, along with several others.
The plaque states that Biden is 'by far, the worst President in American history' and adds: "Nicknamed both 'Sleepy' and 'Crooked', Joe Biden was dominated by his Radical Left handlers."
The White House also announced earlier in December that the Kennedy Center - named in honour of former Democratic President John F. Kennedy - would be renamed the Trump-Kennedy Center.
BBC News report that Trump fired the entire board of directors at the Kennedy Center earlier this year and replaced them with his own allies, who then voted for him to become chairman.
Nonetheless, Trump said he was 'surprised' at the decision to rename the Center in his honour.
Speaking on his podcast, Rogan said: "Oh my God, he is writing it [the plaques]. This is so crazy.
"That this is underneath a photo in the White House is so crazy ... he's said two things that are the same thing [on the Biden plaque]. Jails, prisons, mental institutions, insane asylums.
"Nicknamed both 'Sleepy' and 'Crooked'. By you! [He's saying it] like the whole public got together.
"This is so crazy. You shouldn't be allowed to do this, right? It should be 'Historians say this guy was President from... to...'
"Oh, boy [on the Trump-Kennedy Center re-naming]. Somebody needs to tell him - 'Hey, this is not good. You can't do that'.
"Because other people could do that too, and then the White House stops being the White House. It becomes whoever's in it's house, and they can go crazy."
