Interviews with Joe Rogan are synonymous for more than three hours until every corner has been revealed or until he asks his guests if they have ever eaten elk meat while it was full of psilocybin mushrooms. However, a recent Joe Rogan Experience the interview ended abruptly, which made the fans scratch their heads and ask why.
Former Navy SEAL, Marcus Luttrell, for whose incredible story was the inspiration The only survivor, appeared on Joe Rogan’s experience. Luttrell was (SPOILER ALERT) the sole survivor of the Red Wings operations in Afghanistan, a mission in 2005 in which the SEAL 10 team was appointed to neutralize a high-ranking Taliban leader. However, the Navy SEALs engaged in a bloody battle with Taliban fighters on the edge of a mountain that lasted for hours. Miraculously, Luttrell survived the firefight that left his SEAL colleagues dead and was rescued when he was near the end of his rope.
In the interview, Luttrell fights tears as he relives the personal hell he experienced and the kindness of an Afghan tribe that allowed him to live for six days until his rescue by the US military.
Despite major injuries from the battle in Afghanistan, Luttrell volunteered for another military tour before retiring medically.

Luttrell wrote the book The only survivor detailing his incredible story, which was turned into a Hollywood movie with actor Mark Wahlberg. During his recent interview with Joe Rogan, Luttrell revealed that he did not actually see the entire film based on his near-death experience in the Middle East.
Rogan asked Navy SEAL, “What is it like to have a movie about one of the worst experiences of your life?”
“It’s an honor to be a part of that,” Luttrell said. “Man, it’s about me kicking my ass. As a fighter and warrior, these are usually the stories you don’t want. ”
“I didn’t see him,” he said of the war hero The only survivor, the film about the most critical moment in his life, then joked: “I’ve never watched it before, I know the director’s cut.”

“I’m glad you said, ‘Let’s start with whiskey,'” Rogan told Luttrell. “As soon as you say that, I say, ‘It’s going to be great.'”
“I only drink whiskey with my friends and the only reason we say that is because the things that come out when you drink whiskey,” Luttrell said. “So I was looking forward to this, we’ve been friends for a while, I thought, ‘We should have fun.’
Apparently Luttrell enjoyed too much whiskey during the interview.
Later in the interview, Luttrell needed to use the bathroom, which happens to most guests during Rogan’s marathon interviews. However, Luttrell never returned. JRE fans were curious why the interview ended so abruptly.
Rogan explained what happened at the end of Luttrell’s interview.
“A real honor and a hell of a moment to share a podcast with a great man and a real hero,” Rogan wrote in an Instagram post. “We could all use someone like @marcusluttrell in our lives.”
“You know you’re a bad player when @markwahlberg plays you in a movie,” the UFC commentator added. “If you don’t know who Marcus is, he’s the real SEAL in life who was the subject of the incredible movie The only survivor. ”
“We talked a lot and drank a lot of whiskey,” Rogan explained. “For people wondering why the podcast abruptly stopped after Marcus went for a leak, I decided that maybe it consumed a little too much to keep talking and, in retrospect, I think it was the right decision. Hahahaha! We’ll do it again, I’m sure. I loved being and I hope you do too. ”
