During his conversation with technology entrepreneur Marc Andreessen, the famous podcast presenter talked about Gates' impact on public health and his continued work to solve global concerns through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
“Bill Gates should get jacked,” Rogan quipped, highlighting his massive fortune. He further suggested that he should hire a trainer.
Meanwhile, Andreessen added that Gates' more athletic physique would “be extremely helpful for when he goes on his book tour and talks about public health.”
Rogan went one step farther and said, “If Bill Gates has a six-pack, I'd listen to him.”
As soon as the Rogan's clip from the discussion went viral on X, several users made hilarious comments of Gates' fitness and even filled the comment section with memes.
