Joe Rogan believes Barack Obama could be great on a podcast
Barack Obama is one of the most influential presidents the United States ever had. In his tenure, Obama rose to a lot of fame and success. Even after being relieved of his presidential roles, the former US President made active appearances.
In one such appearance, Obama appeared on a podcast with Bruce Springsteen. The episode did not live up to Rogan’s expectations. He said, “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“
Further in the podcast, Rogan shared his thoughts on how the former President could have a good podcast. “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,” said Rogan.
The veteran UFC colour commentator concluded by saying, “I think he’s capable of it. I think he could have the best podcast ever. I just don’t know what restrains, I mean, it’s, I guess the expectations … what he represents to people that love him. It’s like, it’s too much. It’s hard for those people to just be themselves.”
Over the years, Joe Rogan has developed the skill of interviewing people. Fans often laud Rogan for bringing the best out of his guests. Do you think we will see Barack Obama on The Joe Rogan Experience? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
