On Instagram, Rogan posted that it was an “honor” and ” a pleasure to sit down with the great and powerful @jackcarrusa!” and plugged for his new book.

“Jack is one of the coolest guys on earth and I always appreciate our conversations,” he added.

However, fans quickly pointed out that Rogan’s appreciation for Caruso was not so clear in the accompanying photo.

In the picture, Rogan and Caruso are shown smiling and keeping each other at arms-distance while they attempt a half-embrace.

Fans had a lot of questions, with one asking: “Y’all scared of each other or????”

“That awkward side hug Joe. You’re looking like you might have a germ problemo,” a second follower commented.

Another simply described the awkwardness as “social semi-distancing.”

“Lotta space in between you two,” noted a third, while a fourth follower asked: “Was someone supposed to be standing in the middle?”

Caruso has been a guest on Rogan‘s wildly popular radio show, which attracts an estimated 11million listeners each episode, at least three previous times, according to Caruso’s website.

During these previous visits, the two seemed more friendly in public photos.

The two posed with a prop wolf with a terrifyingly large head in April 2020, and Rogan shared an image of Caruso’s “f**king fantastic” book on his Instagram.

In May 2022, Caruso again visited Rogan and tweeted a photo of the two in a similar yet obviously more warm embrace than the hug in the photo captured recently.

“Always great to catch up with @joerogan,” the author had captioned the photo at the time.

And with over 17million followers on Instagram and another 11million on Twitter, Rogan has an audience that is bigger than most politicians.
