I can see it if you mean there are moments when they're telling stories of their turbulent pasts there is some similarity, but in terms of the overall vibe and content they bring as guests on KATG they come across to me as very different breeds.

JFOD, right from his very first appearance, has been one of the most playful, livewire, loose unit types of guest who's always felt very present and comfortable and is having a shitload of fun. He's the most unpredictable guest this side of Deuce, whereas Robert for the most part feels like one of the more measured, practised guests and feels more like he's working than playing with Keith and Chemda.

Robert also has that menace and rage in him that comes out in the moments when he's less measured, whereas JFOD, even when he's at his most aggressive responding to some ridiculous news story, feels like he's just hilariously annoyed and not bubbling with supressed fury.
