Joe Rogan once made his podcast studio table WIDER for one guest because he was so scared of what he might do.
Rogan has had some of the biggest names in the sports and entertainment world on his podcast.
Not to mention US president-elect Donald Trump, who made an appearance during the presidential election.
Before Mike Tyson's exhibition bout against Roy Jones Jr in November 2020, he appeared on Rogan's podcast, with the host making a change to the studio ahead of the boxing legend's arrival.

In an episode with Mark Norman, Rogan revealed that he made the podcast studio table wider because he was nervous of being in the same room as a 'ramped up' Tyson.
"[Mike Tyson] is the reason why this table is this wide. This table, I was going to make it more narrow, I even had a smaller table that we were working with as a guide," Rogan told Normand on his podcast.
"We were still doing the shows back in LA, while we were setting up this studio, I did an interview with Tyson, and he was so ramped up for this Roy Jones fight, that I got nervous being in the room."

Rogan added: "I'm like, 'I like that extra six inches of space between us', because he was so ramped up. When he left, [producer] Jamie goes 'that's a totally different person', because he went from being, 'Mike Tyson, pot grower, not working out at all', to getting ready to go to combat again."
Tyson fought to a draw against Jones Jr in their exhibition bout.
And he recently returned to professional boxing when he fought Jake Paul, who scored a unanimous decision victory in their Netflix bout at the AT&T Stadium.
