Why We're Thirsty for the Above Average Podcaster Joe Santagato

With a stogie in his mouth and espresso martini in hand, Joe is giving off serious daddy vibes during his trip to Portugal. He captions this photo with "boa noite," which means "good evening" in Portuguese. The country is experiencing a resurgence in the popularity of hand-rolled cigars. It had a thriving tobacco market in the 15th century and their cigars were traded all over the world. The espresso martini on the other hand, is a more recent invention that can be traced back to the 1980s by a British bartender named Dick Bradsell.

Here is an example of the banter Joe and his co-host Frank have on their podcasts. It is a jovial debate about burping and if either gas or air is expelled. Even though the answer is technically both, the comedic volley is just another reason why Joe is such a great online personality. Yes he is a handsome guy but sometimes his naivety is even more adorable.

Meanwhile, back in South America, Joe is enjoying a glass of white wine in the pool, this time in the Douro Valley in Portugal. Since this location was historically of no military interest, visitors won't find castles or other architectural strongholds along the river. Instead, the landscape is terraced and festooned with grapevines that produce the region's famous port wine. It looks like Joe is living the high life away from his production studio with a little R&R.

Joe is looking pretty mature in his black zippered V-neck, gold bracelet, and ring on his index finger. After 14 years of making content Joe has become an internet celebrity who everybody seems to crush on. For as many female comments on his social media posts, there are a lot from his gay male fans too. He seems like a nice person who may fall into a "Bruh" stereotype. But based on what we have seen his commitment to inclusivity, his active support of the LGBTQ+ community, and his effortless approachability make this above-average Joe a sex symbol for everyone.
