>Rosenbaum asked for his worth

Does he really have much worth in the acting world these days? All he does is his podcast.

He’s got a lot of very good guests, even though he’s a pretty bad host himself. Much like Lex Fridman now that I think about it… Fortunately the guests are always interesting to make up for that!

Oh I don't watch a lot of podcasts but I think he does a great job, what makes him a bad host to you?

Which one? 😄 Rosenbaum isn’t terrible, but I never feel like he does any research on the guests he doesn’t know intimately from before, beforehand, and makes a lot of assumptions and the guests often end up correcting him. Maybe that doesn’t make him a bad host, but I think it makes for awkward moments. I like him as a person and actor, just not so much as a podcast host.

Fridman on the other hand is just a clout chaser who loves so surround himself with successful people and thrives on being able to say sentences starting or ending with, “my friend Elon/Rogan/Peterson/etc” 😁

I'm sure whatever he was asking for is reasonable. The problem is the CW is cheaper than dirt.
