Rogan admits that it is impossible for him to handle it all himself, and it has become a constant challenge.

He said, “There’s fu*king too many. I would literally have to have another life. Right just to interact with people. Like a separate me that just interacts with people on social media, interacts with people on emails and text messages.”
