As per Rogan, the chat show and its hosts often go viral for “ridiculous things” uttered during the broadcast, and intentionally invite “hate-watching” rather than building a sincere viewership. He even went on to claim that the live studio had a paid audience. 

Their audience is not really their audience. A lot of them are paid… When the show gets really, really popular… those people will try to get tickets… but otherwise, they probably don’t need to use the service anymore

However, the most biting part of his whole venting session was when he directly asserted that loyal viewers of the show are “probably immobile,” a comment that can be seen as insensitive by many. Rogan also spoke about the intelligence of some hosts in a non-flattering way, and called them “dull-minded”

The tension between Joe Rogan and The View isn’t recent, in fact, it dates back to years. The height of this clash was during the presidential election season in 2020. When news of the former, potentially being a moderator for a presidential debate hit the internet, Sunny Hostin from The View was swift to bring Rogan’s controversial past to light suggesting he would be an un-fit candidate (via Fox News). 

When you talk about a Joe Rogan, who has notably made misogynistic, racist, homophobic comments, that is someone that I have no interest in being given that kind of [platform].

The back-and-forth between these two showcases a cultural clash where Rogan’s unfiltered opinions rub up against The View’s often principled stances. While the podcast views his commentary as frank and unapologetic, the chat show hosts interpret much of his discourse as antagonistic, sometimes even offensive.
