Joe Rogan had zero doubts when naming the 'worst podcast he's ever done' with guest who he regrets inviting on

Joe Rogan had zero doubts when naming the 'worst podcast he's ever done' with guest who he regrets inviting on

Joe Rogan made the admission on a recent episode of his JRE podcast with Aaron Rodgers.

Joe Rogan opened about his "worst podcast" out of more than 2000 episodes he has filmed in more than 15 years.

Rogan is one of the most popular podcasters in the world, hosting conversations with huge names like Donald Trump, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, The Rock, Mike Tyson and Tyson Fury.

His lengthy episodes are watched by millions of people and typically discussion revolves around topics like health, fitness, MMA, sports, comedy, science and history.

Rogan, who also does commentary and interviews for UFC, is renowned for being extremely skilled at getting guests to open up.

But one of his more recent shows did not go to plan. Rogan had archaeologist and former Egyptian Minister of Antiquities Dr Zahi Hawass in his studio in Austin, with the focus on ancient Egypt and the pyramids.

Dr Hawass was slammed by Joe Rogan Experience viewers for consistently saying "it's in my book" when asked questions by the 57-year-old and cutting off the host on a number of occasions.

The 1 hour 58 episode dropped on 14 May but when Rogan had NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers on the show recently, the former Green Bay packers star asked him all about it.

'That might have been the worst podcast I have ever done, but maybe a good one too," Rogan said on his interview with Dr Hawass.

"Just to see this closed-minded minded fellow that's been in charge of Gatekeeping all the knowledge about Egypt."

Hawass' appearance came about as a result of an intervention from historian, author and presenter Graham Hancock, who has made been on Rogan's show on multiple occasions.

Though Hawass and Hancock have clashed over the years, they now appear to be on good terms.

"So they patched up something," Rogan told four-time NFL MVP winner Rodgers.

"That was one of the reasons Zahi came on, because Graham talked to him and said, 'Zahi wants to do this. We're friends now.''

Comedian Afir Shafir was named as Rogan's "most hated guest" by WatchMojo.com despite making more than 50 appearances, because of his outlandish antics.

One episode with architectural designer and geologist Randall Carlson and controversial inventor Malcolm Bendall was never aired.

The alleged creation of a plasma technology system is said to have been discussed, with Rogan ultimately deciding against putting it out the podcast after it went "off-track" - as per Carlson.
