A 4-hour debate?

Rad.

A couple of master-debators going at it for four hours straight. At their advanced age they may need to seek medical attention.

No. They'd both have people feeding them answers.
That wouldn't work at all with the format of the show.

It could be entertaining if it were a simple debate with the podcasters and NO fed questions. But 4 hours? I don't know if I could stay with it that long.

That was sort of the point. Nothing there other than live cameras, and three people in the room: Rogan, Teh Donald and Teh Joe.
It would be a hoot.

If I had to listen to Trump telling us how awesome he was for 4 hours, I'd open at least one vein, quite likely a few. They might not all belong to me.

Thankfully, all my electrical devices have 'off buttons'. I'm a little surprised more people don't use them - they're freaking magical.

Why do you get taken in by a shock jock?
"Four hours" aside, Podcasting being the medium aside, can Joe Rogan bring adequate breadth of knowledge, depth of understanding, or sufficient thoughtfulness to moderate a debate concerning the American Presidency?
Get me Charlie Rose, Fareed Zakaria, Andrew Sullivan, Christiane Amanpour, heck get me Bill Gates to moderate the debate.
The length of time and the choice of medium are secondary. If you're going to have a moderator at all, the intellect, temperament, and impartiality of the moderator should come first.

Why did you get taken in by whomever told you that Rogan is a "shock jock"? That's as divorced from reality as calling him alt-right is.

Rogan has 'moderated' long form debates before. Maybe even for debates you might respect, such as Jack Dorsey vs Tim Poole. He does fine.

Ever listen to Joe?
He could do it.
Trump could do it.
Biden couldn't find the building without help.
