Joe Rogan has opened up on the 'overwhelming' experience that has changed him forever during an emotional podcast episode.
After having UFC superstar Ilia Topuria on his podcast, where Rogan revealed his incredibly unusual clause in his contract, the UFC commentator was joined by Canadian psychologist and author Jordan Peterson.
Rogan spoke candidly about fatherhood, revealing it's a 'very psychedelic' experience.
His eldest, Kayja Rose, is his adopted daughter from his wife Jessica Ditzel’s previous relationship with the late R&B singer Keven Conner.

Kayja, who was born in 1996, is an R&B artist with tracks like 'Lies' and 'Sleepless Night'.
Rogan and his wife welcomed their first biological daughter following the birth of Lola Grace in 2008. Two years later, their second daughter, Rosy, was born.
While the 57-year-old prefers to keep his family away from the spotlight that comes with his level of popularity, he referenced his children when speaking to Peterson during an emotional podcast episode.
Rogan revealed his 'overwhelming desire' for his children, explaining how his 'capacity for love changed'.
"Dave Chapelle said this to me once, and it was very profound. He said having children did not just change the amount of love I have, it changed my capacity for love." he said.
"It’s a very psychedelic experience. It’s like an overwhelming desire.
"The love you have for your child, it’s not like anything else.
"All my damage sh*t came from my real father before I was seven. My real father was crazy, he was like a psychotic person."
Rogan has previously accused his dad of being a 'crazy' and 'psychotic person' who beat the f**k out of his mother
However, his father, Joseph Rogan, a retired New Jersey cop, vehemently denied his son's claims of a violent upbringing.
They have not seen or spoken to each other in 50 years.
