or something. Somebody says Joe Rogan is hard to beat. Let me make a statement, and I'll leave no ambiguity here whatsoever. I'm way better than Joe Rogan at interviewing people. It's not even close. Joe Rogan is a show in which, you know, you've got three hours of content, and he's great at it. You know, maybe the best ever.

And if people just sign up just so they can see what he's saying — imagine if he runs for president, which seems likely, and the only place you can see the good stuff is on his platform. You have to sign up, right? If the only place you can see his extra good stuff is on his own platform, every reporter has to sign up. Basical…
