I'm a huge fan of Joe Rogan's style of interviewing. I don't think he is "fawns" over his guest. He has a true talent for disarming people and letting them explain their positions, without himself getting argumentative. He's had far crazier and out there guests than Peterson, and he adopts a similar style of interview.
I do think Rogan's personal politics skirt the "intellectual dark web" a bit too much for me. But he's also very good at putting his own politics aside when speaking with guests. I wouldn't state that Rogan agrees with Peterson, but he definitely has respect for him. I personally think that Peterson is manipulative and definitely exploits the worst behaviour of the left to rationalize his own bigoted beliefs (a tactic common among the far left as well). You do have to respect Peterson's willingness to speak his mind and his ability to articulate himself. That's more where Rogan is coming from in the interview.
