However, one guest on ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’ seemed to intimidate the Spotify podcaster. It was none other than billionaire entrepreneur Musk. In an older conversation with fellow podcaster Andrew Schulz, Rogan had revealed how intimidated he felt by Musk’s presence.

When asked how he felt while conversing with Musk, Rogan said, “Oh, yeah! I am a f***ing dummy, man. I’m talking to this guy, I’m like a f***ing chimp.”

The commentator went on to show how he felt talking to Musk by trying to imitate a talking chimp. As a result, Rogan and Schulz laughed uncontrollably.

Schulz then felt that Musk wasn’t really happy. Referring to Rogan’s podcast with Musk, Schulz said, “He’s basically opening up to you on how he’s not happy.” Therefore, both discussed Musk’s relationship with happiness. However, Rogan does not think Musk is unhappy. Instead, he feels it is the ‘unfathomable’ stress that is taking its toll.

Has any other guest apart from Elon Musk ever intimidated Joe Rogan?

While Rogan himself revealed he was intimidated by Musk, there might be another person on the list.

When boxing legend Mike Tyson was to appear on Rogan’s show, the podcaster especially kept a wider table for him. As reported by ‘Sports Bible‘, the boxer was amped up for his comeback against Roy Jones Jr. Hence, he needed some extra space.

Rogan admitted he was nervous around ‘Iron’. Hence, while Musk’s intellect must have intimidated Rogan, Tyson’s power also worked the same magic.
