Joe Rogan on Why He Doesn't Perform at Colleges

hello freak bitches like who was it was it who one of the guests I had in the past Hal sparks I think was how sparks that went over to Dubai and he he it did a bit and he was told by one of the people in the audience he was going to be arrested because he referred to one of the royal family by the wrong name called him sir instead of your highness and so they were gonna arrest him Wow but then some other member of the royal family stepped in and stopped it because they said no he was respectful and he just didn't understand the tradition protocol yeah but they were ready to lock him up in a cage coz he used the wrong term not even in a disrespectful manner right yeah just just called him Sir you know whoa yeah like that's not the place that I'm going I'm just I'm not interested in any place look man there's a real problem with Canada right now no I know you know what happened in Vancouver where a comic was heckled by these lesbians yes and he all over them and then they sued him and won yeah because he had done something to violate their human rights because they were heckling not just him but people before him they were disrupting a live performance so do you think that this trend of famous comics refusing to perform at universities is only going to continue to increase or again have we reached the maximum and now there's gonna be blowback because I know Jerry Seinfeld doesn't do it Chris Rock doesn't do it right now I haven't done it since 2003 maybe was the last time I did a show yeah I don't think they have enough life experience you know I like to talk to people that have lived when I when I talk to people I want to talk to someone who has had affairs love affairs and has had jobs and been fired has had education and as I want someone with life experience not there's anything wrong with being 18 or whatever 19 but I want someone who's got some living under their belt so they know what the I'm talking about I don't wanna have to explain everything I don't I mean I did a concert once concert I did a show once at a university and I was talking about something sexual and I saw this bewildered looks in the audience are how many you people are virgins I go don't don't even raise your hand because I don't criminate you I could just blink real fast and they started laughing but it would got real uncomfortable I go would you again I go I'm not gonna even look at you I go I'm gonna look at the sky would you say that I would be out of line if I said ten percent of you were virgins and the place went there one no no that's probably about right people like yelling I'm like that's crazy ten percent of you are virgins that's like if there's 200 people that twenty of you are virgins really that's a lot of people right it's probably more than that they're probably being modest or not being honest about it I just it's not nothing wrong with being college obviously but as far as like where I want to perform I don't have a lot of you know if I have a day there's 24 hours in that day I don't have a lot of hours to perform at night if I'm performing at night I get a couple hours you know I'd like I like doing actual comedy I like doing what I do and then one of the things about comedy is it's it's different than any other art form in that like say if you go to see music like you know what you're gonna go see you don't usually just say Oh live music like well let's hope that it's something I'm interested in you know we're gonna see jay-z followed by Johnny Cash followed by Loretta Lynn no it's not gonna be that way you're gonna go to a rock-and-roll club you go to the Viper Room most likely gonna hear some rock-and-roll you go to a country-western bar you can see that I think with stand-up comedy people get upset if you're not doing like what appeals to them and their sensibility so I like to go to nightclubs that's what I like I don't even do corporate gigs I get a lot of offers who do these corporate gigs and they'll they'll pay you a lot of money cuz they'll be too tame the audience they won't know it's just like it's not a it's not a real comedy show it's like you guys are pay it's like you're GAD sad paying 50 grand to have these guys sing in your backyard some weird ego thing right I saw my friend Dana White who was he's the head of the UFC he had a birthday party years back and Stone Temple Pilots played before that dude died of an overdose plant and and I can pay attention was weird Stone Temple Pilots mean they kind of got everybody to pay attention got everybody moved towards the stage but people a didn't know to expect Stone Temple Pilots it was a big surprise and when I even introduced them when I introduced Stone Temple Pilots people didn't even think that it was really gonna be Stone Temple Pilots like I said happy birthday Dana thanked him for everything and then I said and I'm gonna you know blow your mind right now ladies and gentlemen Stone Temple Pilots and they came out and it was really stoned Temple Pilots and they they went hard they did their it was really really impressive stuff because they did their full-on concert like a hundred percent all out it was intense it was really amazing but it wasn't a lot of people pay attention and why was while I was sitting there watching I was like you know what yeah never again I'm never doing I mean I had already decided I wasn't going to do it I wasn't going to just do that anyway [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music]
