A long time ago I heard someone say this about Rogan. I think they were trying to insult him, but it's actually really true.

Why is Joe Rogan so popular? Because he's Oprah for men. It's that simple

This is fair, to be honest, and not really an insult imo. I've started listening to more of his backlog and a lot of it is just "the guys" having a good time. Listening to him and his pals argue about what they're doing for Sober October this year was hilarious. The MMA podcasts are also fun in the same way.

I certainly don't disagree but the comparison just ends up begging the question, doesn't it?
