Andrew Huberman Makes It Clear What He Really Thinks About Joe Rogan

Yahoo29-05-2025
Andrew Huberman didn't hold back his admiration for Joe Rogan during a recent chat with comedian Tom Segura on the Huberman Lab podcast.
"One of the main reasons why Rogan is the top podcast in the world," Huberman says, "is because he has lots of different kinds of friends—and he can sit down with intellectuals, he can sit down with comics, he can sit down with criminals—he likes the understanding and communication with different kinds of people."
Huberman also praised Rogan's work ethic and ability to connect.
"His life is filled with these people outside of the studio, so he's very comfortable in the presence of anyone. You put anyone in front of him, and he can be genuinely interested in learning from them," Huberman says.
Both Huberman and Segura agreed you can't fake that kind of curiosity.
"Some podcasters, they're not that interested in what other people have to say—so they're not the best interviewers, unless it's someone directly in their genre," Huberman adds.Huberman later shared the clip on X, where fans weighed in on his Rogan take.
"It's what makes him. He's not afraid to talk to anyone and ask hard questions," one X user commented.
One X user pushed back, asking if the Joe Rogan Experience was still the biggest podcast in the world and commenting that numbers seem to have dropped.
Huberman defended his buddy with a comment back: "Rankings reflect acceleration among other things. Rogan is still the most listened to media channel by a HUGE margin."
Huberman has appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience multiple times. Their conversations often dive deep into neuroscience, performance, health, and human behavior—an area both men clearly care about.Andrew Huberman Makes It Clear What He Really Thinks About Joe Rogan first appeared on Men's Fitness on May 23, 2025

Joe Rogan gushes Hunter Biden ‘smarter than his dad' after ‘crack cocaine' interview: ‘He could be president'

Joe Rogan was no fan of former President Joe Biden, but the podcaster raved about his scandal-tarred son Hunter Biden — gushing that a bizarre interview in which he held forth about his illegal drug use showed he was 'smarter than his dad.' 'And he could be president. How about that?' Rogan said on Wednesday's episode of his 'Joe Rogan Experience' podcast after playing a clip from Biden's interview with 'Channel 5' host Andrew Callaghan. 'He could. No bulls–t. Hunter Biden, after all he'd been through, look, his dirty laundry's all out there. We all see it. He was a freak. He's smarter than his dad when his dad was young. And he was a crackhead.'

The Joe Rogan Experience The podcast host reacted to Biden's candid remarks about his past drug use, calling the interview 'the greatest crack advertisement of all time.' Internet users on social media were abuzz this week about Callaghan's interview with Biden during which the former president's son offered unfiltered, raw commentary about his past drug use. Advertisement 'The only difference between crack cocaine and cocaine is sodium bicarbonate, water, and heat. Literally, that's it,' Biden said. 'People think of crack as being dirty—it's the exact opposite.' He also stunned viewers by claiming alcohol—not crack—was the most destructive substance he ever used. 'Alcohol is the most destructive drug… It puts you in more danger than any other drug that I've ever experienced,' he said, revealing that at one point, he was consuming nearly an entire handle of vodka a day. 3 Rogan said that Hunter Biden 'could be president' after an interview that streamed online. YouTube / Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan The vivid detail with which Biden spoke about drug use had viewers including Rogan opining about whether it was an advertisement for narcotics. Advertisement 'If crack wasn't terrible for you, this guy makes me want to try crack. I'm not going to. Don't do it. I'm not giving any advice, but I'm saying this guy, like legitimately this might be the best advertisement for crack of all-time,' Rogan said. 'He's a lot smarter than people give him credit for.' Every morning, the NY POSTcast offers a deep dive into the headlines with the Post's signature mix of politics, business, pop culture, true crime and everything in between. Subscribe here! Rogan credited Biden for delving into the mechanics of drug addiction, saying: 'He's talking, and one of the things he was talking about was why smoking things are so addictive, why smoking cigarettes are so addictive, and the psychology behind it.' Advertisement 'He's not dumb.' Biden was not immediately available for comment. During Biden's wide-ranging interview with Callaghan, the ex-president's son unloaded on top Democratic Party strategists and political allies for their criticism of his father. In the segment Rogan highlighted, Biden described the psychology behind smoking crack cocaine and explained why it becomes so addictive. Rogan also praised the interviewer, saying Callaghan 'nailed' the interview. Biden, a longtime target of conservative media and Trump supporters, has faced scrutiny over his business dealings, history of drug use and a criminal case stemming from a firearm purchase. The Post's 2020 exposé on Biden's abandoned laptop revealed emails and files suggesting he pursued overseas business deals by invoking his father's name, including potential links to Chinese and Ukrainian interests.

While portions of the data have since been authenticated, allegations directly implicating Joe Biden remain unproven. Last year, then-President Biden announced he had pardoned his son following a conviction on federal gun charges. Hunter Biden also pleaded guilty to nine tax-related charges. Advertisement Though he has not expressed any interest in running for office, Biden's interview sparked praise from some figures on the right as well. Fox News host Jesse Watters on Monday called him a 'left-wing Trump' following the interview's release. Watters pointed to Hunter Biden's remarks about President Trump's immigration policies, in which the younger Biden said the US could 'invade' El Salvador to retrieve individuals deported by the Trump administration earlier this year. Advertisement 'And make no mistake: everything he's saying is exactly what Joe Biden is thinking,' Watters said. 'This is 'Dark Brandon Jr.' This is the guy the memo was about. This is a guy who doesn't give an F. He's macho. He's bold. To say that they're going to invade El Salvador to bring back the bad hombres. That's like left wing Trump, and this is what they've been looking for,' Watters added.

Sacha Baron Cohen stuns with jacked physique after Marvel debut: See his new look

Borat who? Sacha Baron Cohen is sporting a shockingly different look these days. As he enters the Marvel-verse as Mephisto, the notorious supervillain, Cohen has ditched his signature "confused comic" look for a figure that is well, jacked. On the cover of Men's Fitness U.K., Cohen shows off bulging biceps, a freshly shaven beard and an unmistakable 6-pack. That Cohen would go all in for his transformation is no surprise; he is perhaps best known for his tireless commitment to the bit, going full character-actor as Borat or Ali G, for the benefit of political satire. Cohen worked with celebrity trainer Alfonso Moretti to get in shape for his role in Marvel's "Ironheart," according to Men's Fitness. The comedian said his workout routine included 100 push-ups a day, while Moretti said his diet was "high fibre, low sugar, plenty of protein — nothing fancy, nothing extreme." On his Instagram story, the "Borat" star shared the Men's Fitness cover and joked, "This is not AI, I really am egotistical enough to do this." "Some celebs use Ozempic, some use private chefs, others use personal trainers," he wrote. "I did all three." In another Instagram story, Cohen joked he is "hard launching my mid-life crisis" and "debuting my new character: middle aged man who replaced beer with protein shakes." On July 1, Cohen made a surprise appearance in the Disney+ series "Ironheart" as Mephisto, who is essentially the Marvel comics equivalent of Satan. In the show, the main villain is revealed to have made a "deal with the devil" with Mephisto for his powers. The series' title character, Riri Williams, eventually makes her own bargain with Mephisto to bring back a loved one. It hasn't been confirmed when or where Cohen might return as Mephisto, but the character could have a major role in Marvel's future. In the comics, Mephisto has been involved in storylines connected to characters like Spider-Man and Doctor Strange. Mephisto's on-screen debut was highly anticipated, but Cohen's casting had not been officially announced prior to his "Ironheart" debut. "He's one of the big, big, big bads in the comics that has a lot of tethers to characters that we've been working with for years, and also characters that we hopefully will work with in the future," Brad Winderbaum, head of Marvel Television, previously told USA TODAY. Winderbaum also teased Mephisto's possible big-screen debut, telling USA TODAY, "Without going into too much detail, the types of projects he will be in are not dependent on television."

Real-life ‘Indiana Jones' Dr. Zahi Hawass hits back at Joe Rogan: ‘Didn't do his homework' on pyramid alien conspiracies

Dr. Zahi Hawass has been called the real-life Indiana Jones and the Pharaoh of Egyptian archaeology — and not always with affection. Arrogant, passionate and relentlessly driven, Hawass, the former Minister of Antiquities of Egypt, has spent decades commanding excavation sites and delivering fiery public lectures with the confidence of a man who's been proven right one too many times. His recent lecture tour across the US drew large crowds. But it also came on the heels of a controversial interview with Joe Rogan, who called it 'the worst podcast I've ever done,' dismissing the famed archaeologist as a 'close-minded fellow who's been in charge of gatekeeping all the knowledge.' 13 Dr. Zahi Hawass, seen here in front of the Sphinx and Pyramids of Giza, Getty Images 13 Hawass now owns a bullwhip used by Harrison Ford (above) in the Indiana Jones movies. REUTERS But it's hard to argue with the résumé. Hawass has led or overseen many of the most significant Egyptian discoveries of the modern era: the Lost Golden City near Luxor, new tombs at Saqqara, the mummy identification of Queen Hatshepsut, and recent scans inside the Great Pyramid of Giza that revealed mysterious hidden chambers. He also spearheaded efforts to repatriate stolen antiquities and reframe Egyptology with Egyptians at the center. The Post spoke with this bombastic, unfiltered character who wears his larger-than-life reputation like a tailored khaki jacket. New York Post: You're wrapping up your US lecture tour. Was it everything you'd hoped for? 13 Joe Rogan called a May 2025 episode of 'The Joe Rogan Experience' featuring Dr. Zahi Hawass 'the worst podcast I've ever done.' Hawass, in turn, told The Post it was 'the worst interview I've ever done in my life.' Joe Rogan/YouTube Dr. Zahi Hawass: It was fantastic … I haven't seen an audience love a lecturer like this before. In every city, when I enter the room, there's a standing ovation. And when I finish the lecture, there's another standing ovation. It's quite remarkable. I don't think that happened when Dr. Howard Carter found Tutankhamun's tomb 100 years ago. He never had this kind of fame. NYP: Do you ever get tired of talking about your discoveries? ZH: Never! … Every discovery I've made in my life has its own story. The last discovery I made, the Lost Golden City in Luxor, is a major, important discovery. It's the largest city ever found in Egypt, and for the first time we have a glimpse into the artisans who made the temples and the tools they used during the Golden Age. Inside the city, we found seven large royal workshops where they made the statues, jewelry, textiles and clothing for the palace. One of the most important things we found — and it's not published yet, I've only announced it during my lectures — is the name Smenkhkare. NYP: Found? Like, it was written in the hieroglyphics? 13 'Sometimes when I'm on an excavation, I think, 'This may be it.' There's a great amount of danger,' Hawass said. Getty Images ZH: That's right! It was everywhere! And I really believe that Smenkhkare is a throne name for Queen Nefertiti. I'm currently searching for her mummy so I can test her DNA and prove this theory. We start in September to search for her tomb. NYP: Out on the road, did you run into people eager to refute your research? There's a growing fringe movement that believes aliens were involved in building the pyramids. ZH: Oh yes! They're everywhere! And they like to dream. Listen, I am not against any new discovery. Just show me the evidence. I get angry emails every day from people who think I'm hiding the evidence … I get where they're coming from. If you stood in front of the Great Pyramid for the first time, I'm sure you'd find it hard to believe that it was built by human beings. Who would hire 10,000 workers a day to work for 28 years to build such a thing? It seems ridiculous even to imagine it! But this was a national project of the whole nation. 13 Hawass and his team came face-to-face with King Tutankhamun's mummy in 2005 for a controversial CT scan. AP NYP: So you'd be willing to consider aliens as co-architects, you just want proof? ZH: I want anything … If aliens built the pyramids, there would be something in the ground. I have been excavating in Egypt for decades, and I've found nothing to indicate anything but human activity. But you have someone like Joe Rogan. Did you hear my interview with him? NYP: I did. It was tense. ZH: Because he wouldn't listen to the evidence I was giving him! He said it was the worst interview he ever did in his life. Well, I'm telling you this. I want you to print this. It was the worst interview I've ever done in my life. 13 'Katy Perry came once, and I don't think she was very happy. I didn't recognize her, and didn't realize she was a singer,' Hawass said of Perry, seen above with Orlando Bloom at the pyramids in 2019. Joe Rogan/YouTube 13 'I only knew that the guy next to her was Orlando Bloom,' Hawass added of Perry. 'I think that upset her. Katy Perry/ Instagram NYP: What went wrong? ZH: I'll tell you what went wrong. When you do an interview with a person, you expect this person to do their homework. When I talked to Piers Morgan, he did his homework. Joe Rogan did not do his homework. NYP: Is it also possible that he just disagreed with you about what the evidence suggested? ZH: He was talking about these Italians [who] found eight pillars 600 feet under the Khafre pyramid. [A group of researchers claimed this spring that they had discovered 'vertical cylinders' 2,000 feet below ground.] The techniques they used, Synthetic Aperture Radar tomography, can only show 15 meters under the ground, about 60 feet. It will never be able to show 600 feet. Never! 13 Hawass said he banned Beyoncé from the pyramids after an alleged scuffle between her bodyguard and a Hawass employee. Balkis Press/ABACA / Shutterstock And if these theories are correct, why have they never come to discuss it with us? Why did they decide to announce their discovery by publishing in a magazine where you have to pay a fee to publish? How does that make sense? NYP: What if Rogan was willing to tour the pyramids with you? ZH: Oh, absolutely. I told him as much. But he rejected my invitation. It's his problem now, because for him to see the pyramids without me is useless. He said on the podcast that he wanted to go with… what's his name, the guy in England? NYP: Graham Hancock. [Hancock, who hosted 'Ancient Apocalypse' on Netflix, believes the pyramids were built by a lost-to-time civilization some 12,000 years ago.] 13 'Intellectual, beautiful' Princess Diana was one of Hawass' favorite guests to show around the Pyramids of Giza. Tim Graham Photo Library via Getty Images ZH: Hancock, right! He asked me to be on his Netflix show, but I'm not sure I want to do it. I also got a call from Piers Morgan's assistant, asking if I'd be available to do a show in November in Cairo, with me showing him some of my latest discoveries. I promise you, if we do it, we will beat Joe Rogan's ratings a hundred percent. NYP: You've been in the orbit of many celebrities and politicians over the years. Who surprised you most, for better or worse? ZH: I cannot forget Princess Diana. She was intellectual, beautiful, just incredible. NYP: Anybody you couldn't stand? 13 'When you close a tomb for 3,000 years, and this tomb has mummies in it, there are going to be germs. When you open this tomb, the germs have to come out,' Hawass said of so-called tomb curses. Getty Images ZH: Beyoncé came in 2008, and it did not end well. She was a very nice lady, but she had a very bad bodyguard. I have a camera lady who follows me during these tours, to record everything — and Beyonce's bodyguard … snatched the camera right out of her hand. I wouldn't stand for it! I told her and her bodyguard to get out, and banned her from the pyramids. Katy Perry came once, and I don't think she was very happy. I didn't recognize her, and didn't realize she was a singer. I only knew that the guy next to her was Orlando Bloom. I think that upset her. NYP: You're claimed to be the inspiration for Indiana Jones. Is that true? ZH: It's absolutely true. 13 Hawass led the team that discovered the mummified remains of Queen Hatsheput. AFP via Getty Images 13 Queen Hatsheput, depicted here as a seated statue from 1473-1458 B.C. Egypt, was one of Egypt's most storied pharaohs. UIG via Getty Images NYP: Like George Lucas said, 'Tell me about your life,' and then turned it into a script? ZH: Yes. That is entirely true. We had dinner in Cairo, and he jokingly told me that my hat is more famous than Harrison Ford's hat from the movie, and I reminded him that my hat is a real archaeological hat and Harrison's is a fake one. NYP: Have you ever watched one of the Indiana Jones movies and thought, 'Yep, that happened to me?' 13 Hawass has led or overseen many of the most significant Egyptian discoveries of the modern era, including the Lost Golden City near Luxor (above). art_of_line – ZH: Of course. All of them … I have seen some real danger. Sometimes when I'm on an excavation, I think, 'This may be it.' There's a great amount of danger. I've scaled ropes down into shafts that haven't been entered in thousands of years, and it isn't lost on me that this isn't entirely safe. I often think, 'Well, if this rope snaps, that's the end of me.' NYP: What about Pharaoh curses? The curse of Tutankhamun apparently killed a few archaeologists. ZH: This is the real story about the curse. When you close a tomb for 3,000 years, and this tomb has mummies in it, there are going to be germs. When you open this tomb, the germs have to come out. There's radiation! In the past, archaeologists would be in a hurry to look inside these tombs. And they would ingest all of this unhealthy air. I realized this just a few months ago, you need to let a new discovery breath. I found a sealed sarcophagus 60 feet under the ground, and when the workmen opened it, I waited for three hours until the bad air was released. And then I put my head inside to investigate. NYP: I'm surprised you haven't made a cameo in any of the Indiana Jones movies. ZH: Well, hopefully Harrison Ford and I will have our moment soon. Leslie Greif, a big Hollywood producer, wants me to do a show with Mr. Beast, but I told him I need Harrison Ford. Can you imagine that? Dr. Zahi Hawass and Mr. Harrison Ford revealing the secrets of the Great Pyramid together. Billions of people would tune in. Who wouldn't want to watch that?
