Comedian and Podcaster Joe Rogan provided advice to former President Barack Obama on Thursday’s edition of “The Joe Rogan Experience.”
While discussing presidents with his guests Louis C.K. and Joe List, the conversation shifted to Obama and his ability to host a podcast, referencing to the former president’s show “Renegades: Born in the USA.”
“He did a podcast for a little while. He did a podcast with Bruce Springsteen and it just wasn’t good. It just — it just wasn’t good,” Rogan said.
“Well, it’s not that he couldn’t be good. It’s just that he’s this — he’s bigger than everything, you know, he’s the greatest president ever. When he goes and does a podcast, he can’t just have a whiskey and talk shit. You know, but if he did, it would be f–king amazing.”
Rogan continued by saying Obama has already served two terms as president, so the 61-year-old can’t run again, so the former president should lose the politician act and loosen up.
“You would think he’s achieved escape velocity where he could express himself. I mean, he’s done two terms. He can’t be president again. So you’re free of that expectation,” Rogan said.
“I remember he was talking about people once about how messy people are, you know, that just — things people say, things they don’t necessarily mean … And the way he said that, I’m like, I’ve never heard a person like him say that. And I wish he did more of that. You know? I wish someone could talk to him and get him to loosen up.”
