Joe Rogan is "that guy at the bar." He's fun, bros it up, doesn't challenge you too much, and he totally used to do MMA. Then when he gets a few too many in him he leans close and starts asking "do you really think they went to the moon?" Then the bar closes and you're pretty sure he drove home even though he was hammered. He fills sort of the same niche as Howard Stern, but Stern was more like that guy who still has coke at 3am and has a crowd around him listening to uncomfortable too-much-information stories because he still has coke. Then when he runs out of coke everyone leaves except the likely sex offenders. Those are like two Jungian archetypes of that dude you talked to last night for too long, which means they translate nicely into a podcast or talk radio program you listen to for too long. Rogan used to be a bit better but he's really gone down market since the first Spotify deal. He's probably just chasing the largest audience.
