Joe Rogan, a podcast host, recently discussed his interview with Donald Trump.
Rogan outlined several key takeaways from his landmark “The Joe Rogan Experience”, which he conducted with Trump last Friday. He noted that Trump is funny and authentic. He was also amazed that he could hold a focused three-hour interview.
“He has this amazing ability to keep going.” The podcast lasted three hours! He didn’t urinate before the podcast. He didn’t poop after the podcast. “He just left,” said the host to guests Eddie Bravo and Brendan Schaub during the latest podcast episode.
Rogan’s Saturday guest brought up the subject of the interview when they asked him if he felt “nervous” sitting down with former President Obama. Rogan responded that he felt more “excited” or “hyped”.
“I was hyped-up.” “I was hyped up because there were a lot of questions that I needed to answer,” said the man, who denied feeling any pressure to perform a particular way and confirmed that he had prepared for the interview in advance.
Rogan’s initial observation of Trump’s character was that he liked to begin a conversation and then end it somewhere else.
“He is very good at answering questions. You ask him one question and he begins to answer, but then takes you in a completely different direction… But, you have to bring him back, but be respectful.”
The host stated that even though they had talked about it, he wanted to know more on how Trump felt during his first day at the White House back in January 2017.
I didn’t get the answer I wanted from him.
Rogan was also struck by how natural a comedian Trump is. This is something that many people dislike in a President.
Rogan stated that “the problem with Trump’s stuff is that people only look at his inflammatory words, the crazy —, that he says and define him based on that.”
“You have to also remember that this is an extremely bizarre combination of a businessman and an entertainer… He’s a comic, man.” He said funny —,”, adding that “people don’t know how to deal with that and want to pretend all these other people were somehow better morally because you didn’t see them.”
Rogan revealed that this 3-hour interview with Trump was the first time he had ever really spoken to him. He described Trump as “a businessman, bottom-line.”
“He likes making deals. It’s his whole thing. “That’s what he does.”
He was also impressed by Trump’s ability to keep going without stopping for water or the bathroom.
He said that Trump’s staff was “freaking” out because they had been so long, cutting into Trump’s schedule.
He didn’t care —-. He said, “I know that this will be bigger than what I thought.”
