I never regarded him as very smart but he did have interesting guests and good banter, typically. A while before the Spotify buy I thought the quality worsened a lot and he would keep letting his politics shine through too much.
I liked when Bill Burr said he (Joe) couldn’t rollerskate because his knuckles would drag on the ground in regards to Joe speculating on Covid without any real qualifications.
Yup. I used to watch on YouTube occasionally when he had someone interesting, and occasionally Rogan would ask an interesting question.
But I’ve never valued his opinion much. Why would I? He’s an ex-MMA fighter with a microphone, he’s unlikely to have a unique perspective vs the hordes of people with actual credentials online. I’m not saying being an MMA fighter is bad, just saying it doesn’t qualify you on any topic other than MMA.
He was never really an MMA fighter. He may have done some low-level amateur fights or whatever, but his background is comedian and actor. Newsradio… one of the best sitcoms ever, though not because of Rogan (he was just an everyman kind of character) but because of Phil Hartman.
He’s just a big fan of MMA. Though he probably has been punched in the head a fair amount in amateur fights.

Interesting, I never bothered reading up on his background. Being a comedian is far more relevant since humor is often based on current events.
