He didn’t let it drag him down.

The hosts of “The View” took aim at podcaster and comedian Joe Rogan — who adopted one of their insults as a badge of honor.

Veteran talk show host Joy Behar called out the world’s most famous podcaster during a conversation about younger Americans getting their news from influencers.

“We went from Walter Kronkite, basically, to this guy Joe Rogan, who believes in dragons,” co-host Joy Behar said incredulously.

“I checked it,” she continues, “And he also believes that dragons, I dunno, like dinosaur-y type type [sic] of animals, roamed the Earth when people did.

“So this is the type of really, really, bad information that is going out there,” she concluded.

Rogan didn’t take the attempted barb too seriously.

The “Joe Rogan Experience” host took to X and quoted a clip of Behar delivering her assessment of Rogan’s esoteric beliefs.

“That’s my new official X description,” he wrote — and promptly changed his bio on the social media platform to read, “Dragon Believer.”

Rogan then posted a conversation with biologist and adventurer Forrest Galante entitled, “Were Dragons Real Animals?”

“It’s so possible that something that flew like a pterodactyl, like we think of pterodactyls as being like bat wings, maybe they had feathers, maybe that a gigantic predatory bird and maybe some of those things looked like dragons,” Rogan said in a previous conversation following that episode, according to Fox News. 

“Think of all these different cultures, ancient, medieval Europe, China, Japan, all of them had dragons, there’s so many dragons, it might have been a real thing, and I think most of them didn’t have dragons that could spit fire either, I think that was like a Hollywood movie Godzilla-type deal,” he added.

Rogan then sent off a firestorm of posts riffing on the subject.

The former “Fear Factor” host retweeted someone posting Biblical passage Job 41:18-21, which describes the Leviathan in a way that could also apply to a dragon.

The comedian then quoted a biological description of a theoretical dragon, writing, “I want to believe.”

The brain trust at “The View” was originally discussing a new poll that claimed many young Americans get their news from social media influencers who are right-leaning politically.

Behar took the opportunity to pat her show on the back — and take a swipe at Rogan — after co-host Sara Haines warned viewers about the dangers of deep-fake videos and misinformation.

Haines warned viewers to “triple-check” something before allowing it to get them riled up.

Behar had her own characteristically reductive take.

“I think that’s why people like our show,” the former comedian said. “Because they know that we are checked by ABC News.”

“We’re checked by everybody,” co-host Whoopi Goldberg chimed in.
