The long-tenured UFC Commentator Joe Rogan had recently sat down with Facebook founder Mark Zuckerburg for a podcast episode on the Joe Rogan Experience in August. The pair spoke about a variety of subjects, including martial arts and the UFC. During the episode, the pair revealed that their spouses easily frustrate both of them when they are working from home.

Zuckerberg stated that for an engineer it’s actually better to be away from the office. Instead, to be somewhere quiet for a few hours because it helps in concentrating. Thus, working on the problems and finding the solution becomes easy.
However, in the Meta CEO’s case his wife, Priscilla Chan, often breaks his concentration while he’s in the “flow” of working. Zuckerberg said:
“I don’t know, it’s like I have this thing where, you know, it’s — I’ll be like in zone kind of flow concentration working on something and you know, my wife will like ask me some, some like basic question and I’ll just be like, ‘Oh man,’ it’s like, ‘I just like lost my flow.”
Rogan, who is a stand-up comedian as well, chimed in on the same matter. He said that he usually runs away from his wife when he gets an idea for a joke. The comedian said:
“I physically run away from my wife when I have a joke idea,”.
However, the podcaster added that his wife understands when a situation like this arises. He said that he has to do it [run away from her] or else even the slightest distraction from his wife shatters his focus. Rogan has been married for almost 13 years to Jessica Ditzel and they surely have a great understanding.
