Joe Rogan Experience #2558 - Tyler Engle

Grusch drew the crowd. Episode #2560 of The Joe Rogan Experience, with David Grusch, passed 650,000 views in its first eleven hours, the quickest start of the channel's three uploads this week.

Grusch is the former Air Force intelligence officer who became the best-known whistleblower on unidentified anomalous phenomena when he testified before a House Oversight subcommittee in July 2023. He has sat in Rogan's studio before, and the episode description lists the posts behind his name: a representative of the National Reconnaissance Office to the UAP Task Force and a co-lead for UAP analysis at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.

The day before, Sam Morril came in. The New York comic co-hosts the We Might Be Drunk podcast with Mark Normand, and his visit lined up with his new Netflix special, "Incorrect," released on September 29, the same day the episode went up. It gathered more than 460,000 views in its first 24 hours.

The week opened with Tyler Engle, a musician, researcher and author who hosts the BassForge channel. His conversation is the oldest of the three and the only one past a million views, and it is still drawing a steady stream of listeners a week on.

With 21.1 million subscribers, the channel is the largest among the podcast and interview shows grouped beside it. The Diary Of A CEO and Team Coco are both running well above their usual pace, and the Shawn Ryan Show is as busy as ever, with more than eight million views a day.
