Joe Rogan is a fan favorite, majorly because of his unique take on the simplest of topics. The UFC commentator combines his exceptional knowledge with his striking conversational skills to provide listeners with a never-before experience. Some months ago, he appeared on Ben Shapiro’s show, and a similar discussion arose.

Rogan and Shapiro have repeatedly used the internet to put out intriguing podcasts and discussions. The one in question here took place in October 2022. Moreover, one of the most interesting parts of the show was Rogan’s explanation of the phenomenon of public fame!

Joe Rogan reveals real reason behind the fame of celebrities like Taylor Swift

In their discussion, the spotlight turned towards the phenomenon of celebrity and fame. Rogan, dissecting the psychological underpinnings of our societal fascination with the famous, explained, “It’s a biological trick.” He unveiled the primal aspect of this fascination, tracing it back to our evolutionary roots.

“It’s a biological trick and what it is, when you evolved when all of us lived thousands of years ago, we looked to the most successful member of the tribe,” he said. “The one who’s older, the one that everybody revered… he could relay to you the lessons of a life well-lived…” he added.

However, in the contemporary landscape, this biological predisposition persists, now manifesting on a grand scale. Rogan pointed out that figures like Kim Kardashian or Taylor Swift, who command attention on giant screens, become the focal points of collective fascination.

“All this stuff now gets relayed to someone who’s on a giant screen. We do that for anybody that gets attention whether it’s Kim Kardashian or Taylor Swift,” he said. “We see these people and millions of people are paying attention to them. So we assume that there’s some quality behind everything that they’re saying, there’s something special about them, but there’s not,” he concluded.

When JRE got surpassed by an unexpected competitor

Joe Rogan hosts arguably the biggest podcast in the world, the Joe Rogan Experience. In a surprising turn of events, this podcast faced an unexpected contender from the NFL realm. Travis Kelce, widely regarded as one of the greatest tight ends in NFL history, along with his brother Jason Kelce, seized the podcasting spotlight with their show, New Heights, successfully surpassing the revered JRE in popularity.

Travis, a key player for the Kansas City Chiefs, and his brother Jason, representing the Philadelphia Eagles, witnessed their podcast’s meteoric rise. The unexpected surge in New Heights’ popularity is attributed to intriguing rumors surrounding Travis Kelce and pop icon Taylor Swift.
