Joe Rogan is too big to cancel

He’s also like a great interviewer, man. The one he has with John Carmack is great. He doesn’t know shit about Carmack’s stuff but he interviews him so well. Carmack is a great guest but also Rogan is a great interviewer.

Anytime I see American interviewers they’re always trying to gotcha the guy. Joe Rogan just lets the guy say his piece. Then I can judge afterwards.

Masterwork compared to all these hacks like Anderson Cooper and Tucker Carlson.

“Oh, he didn’t challenge him on the X”. Yeah, bro, he’s not your personal attack dog. If the dude is a Nazi, JR lets him say Nazi shit. Then I know the dude is a Nazi. All these other interviewers are like it doesn’t matter who they’re interviewing. You’re watching the host.

With Rogan, I get the other guy.

There really is a need for an unfiltered, long form, respectful interview. Rogan does that better than anyone right now.

I also like Lex Fridman's show for the same reason [0] - but Lex has the technical chops. In fact Joe Rogan and Lex have interviewed each other on their own shows.

Spot-on. It’s all about the guests, rather than the host.
