Joe Rogan has the world’s most popular podcast, with millions of dedicated listeners. However, he admitted in a recent episode he doesn’t have a list of traditional “dream guests” to eventually have a conversation with.
Rogan discussed the topic with Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy, who asked him about any potential dream guests. Rogan immediately shot down the idea, which caught Portnoy off guard.
“None?,” Portnoy asked.
“None,” Rogan said before explaining his reasoning.
“I like talking to people. I don’t care who they are. I like talking to my friends, I like talking to — I had a lady in who was a beekeeper, I had a guy the other day who has a giant piece of land in Alaska and they’re finding wooly mammoth bones, I like that. That’s the stuff I like. I like talking to fighters, I like talking to you, I like talking to whoever, I just like talking to people. I like seeing how different people see this world. It enhances my perspective.
“I’ve gotten — through this podcast — a very unexpected and accidental education. That’s what I think. So because of that, I don’t have any desire to effectively communicate in any way that makes me feel bad. Read a bunch of mean things people say about you and then go back and forth with them? Saying things that’s not true? You’re welcome to have your thoughts. I’m not going to engage in that.”
