Actor and MMA expert Joe Rogan took aim at the traditional Maori war cryin an interview with actor Hannibal Buress.
The pair were discussing the ability to control the state of the mind when Rogan questioned why native Americans would perform a war cry before battle.
"This is ridiculous, they're playing basketball. You're playing NBA superstars you f**king dummies... It seems stupid. If you're playing basketball it's stupid.
"It's a performance art. The other players clapped. They're like 'good job children!'.
"It's weird if you do all of that then get your ass kicked," said Rogan.
