Joe Rogan on Why He Doesn't Perform at Colleges

Joe Rogan talks to Gad Saad about why he won't perform at colleges anymore.

When Jerry Seinfeld's considered too controversial, you know you're being overly-sensitive.

[@youtert]

What's the deal with these special snowflakes? I mean, who aaarrre these people who can't take a joke?

[@Bredaxe]

youtert I thought their entire philosophy in life was based around being open to everyone's ideas, opinions, lifestyles and....... it was all bullshit. College campuses are the closest to indoctrination camps without the shovels, starvation or death trenches. If you can't laugh at shit, you mind as well end it early.

[@brettsmith8956]

Colleges are bad. I went to college back in the early 90's and I took a few classes recently and there was a night and day difference. They are little islands of totalitarianism. If you're white, you're required to hate yourself for it, and if you're not white, you're required to hate whitey. Every day there's another letter in your email inbox from the dean of student affairs offering information on how and where to rat off white students for racially discriminating against you or sexually assaulting you. The hallways of every building are plastered with race and gender propaganda. One would think women and minorities are the weakest cunts alive judging by how much "affirmation" the school feels it's necessary to provide them. If you have the audacity to post anything on the message boards around campus without prior authorization, you'll be subject to discipline. The problems in our society today are coming from the social science departments of universities. All the race and gender hysteria, the wide divide between the left and the right- all manufactured in universities. Now if you're a white conservative, you're a white supremacist. It was inevitable for that to happen just as it's inevitable for the left to broaden that application of the term to the entire white race (races, technically, but that's too complex for them). They been pushing for that for a long time.

Sayings like the one you demonstrated has become desensitized and does not make the same lasting impact. We don't like that "corny shit". As soon as we hear it we turn it off, because that's the most simple thing ever. The new brains of this generation need a deeper understanding of things that help us now. Not things that have happened before. We've been in this "old is better" fallacy loop for too long. Though, I'm not ignorant of how my generation thinks everything needs to be new.

Universities are dumb. Real intellectuals get their information from KZbin podcasts. Edit: this sarcastic comment was not trying to imply that all 'real intellectuals' have gone to university, or that everyone that goes to university is a real intellectual. However, someone that goes to university is more likely to be a real intellectual than someone who sits on their arse and watches KZbin all day. Would you rather your open heart surgery be performed by someone who went to med school, or by someone that stayed at home, drunk Pepsi and watched KZbin tutorials? This is about hard work, and the intellectual dark web are generally lazy individuals.

[@nexioseptimus5099]

A friend of mine, a two-term veteran of the Irag war who came back and became a fireman, broke down on the job and spent some time in hospital, then became interested in medicine and went back to school to become an ER nurse practitioner, went to speak before Congress about the need to take better care of our veterans. He was given three minutes to speak, but got silenced and dismissed before getting a word out because he called the chairman 'Sir', rather than the expected honorific title. In a democracy - and *especially* coming from a veteran, because the *first* thing they learn in boot camp is to address anyone with rank higher than them as 'sir' - this kind of behavior harks back to the days of powdered wigs. But this is a sort of litmus test for people in power: if they pull this sort of bullshit, they aren't worth talking to anyway because they weren't going to listen anyway.

This is because bad attitudes are shitty to be around, so usually employers will not incentive them to stay.

[@DelireWeb]

I was a virgin until I turned 18. And I don't feel "deranged" nor a social misfit because of that! lmao... On the opposite, since I wasn't rushing to get laid just to feel as part of some immature "wannabe manly manhood" like in the movies (or just to brag about out of some insecurity or lack of self-esteem), my 1st experiences with a lady were extremely satisfying (imho, learning to seek others pleasures on top of sharing intimacy, like a mean of mutual communication, is also part of gaining human maturity, at least in terms of sexuality).

[@SpencerLemay]

Try being a 26 year old virgin after graduating college. I get the feeling if Joe Rogan heard about that or commented on that he would just freak out and think I am some kind of weirdo. He would probably just tell me to go work out and take DMT and then think of me next time he talks about beta males. It is just bewildering hearing people talk like they can barely get through life without girls falling on their dick. Then if I try to relate to other people about how I have never experienced anything remotely sexual with a girl other than the one who wanted to fuck me with a strap on they just act confused and assume I obviously haven't been doing X or it is my fault because if you go outside pussy should appear automatically.

After some more poor life decisions i realized that at 21 i knew nothing but now at 27 i knew everything and everyone around me was an idiot. But later i repeated the cycle and then, thank God, i realized that i was the idiot. I opened myself up to being wrong and learning from it. We are all just trying to get through this life and doing the best we can, well most of us, and i dont know it all but i know a little. And im open to learning from anyone willing to teach. But you have to do your do diligence and fact check and try to make sure what your learning is correct. But sweet jesus there is nothing like listening to a youngster who hasnt been anywhere, done anything, and has zero life experience popping off about this and that and their idealistic outlook on the world.

[@TooleyPeter]

When John McEnroe was #1 in the world and dominating professional tennis, he wanted to be a rock star. He got a band together and surrounded himself with other (better) guitarists. His lack of true musical talent only seemed to fuel his ambition. I think of this when I listen to Joe Rogan sometimes. Anyone who has seen Joe's standup knows he is not a natural comedian. His jokes are one-dimensional, his delivery forced, his whole act feels a bit strained and self-conscious. When it comes to long-format live interviews, however, Joe is easily one of the best in the world. Really, who is better? He knows instinctively how to manage the arc and flow of a conversation, merging social commentary with intelligent, insightful inquiry. He holds his own with scientists, scholars, political figures, athletes, news personalities. It seems effortless for him, whether he's talking to one person or four. Stoned or sober, he just nails it show after show, and has single-handedly elevated the podcast into an art form. Despite these obvious gifts, he clearly wants to be thought of as a world-class comedian like Dave Chapelle, which he will never be. I find it puzzling.

[@ManicMindTrick]

I couldn't agree more. His MMA and podcast work is world class. He has a fantastically high EQ and is a true social chameleon with guests. He isn't a natural comedian though. But he works or has worked at it harder than most.

[@Turk_2023]

I think he`s good at stand up...Sorry he is not a prop comic i guess

[@Jdubayou]

I completely agree with this. I absolutely love his podcast but I've tried to watch some of his stand up and it's just not very good. Seems like none of his material is very creative or intelligent, just makes really crude and vulgar jokes. Maybe some people find that funny and that's cool, I just appreciate more intellectual and well rounded comedians.

[@rodchamp7510]

@Jye its not that difficult of a concept to grasp

[@yvesnyfelerph.d.8297]

...so I infer he must have the opposite category in mind as well. Like the >100, >500, >1k girls club (or at least those who had more than him, however many that is). What "womanizing" has done for me is reducing my interest in casual sex from hyper to almost zero by mid 40s bc once you're past a certain nr the excitement goes out the window and all that's left is the potential problems any interaction with girls possibly brings about. What am saying is that on the one hand this "achievement" unlocks tremendous peace of mind (bc you know you don't have to prove anything anymore and have done several lives worth of dues) while at the same time taking one of the main natural motivators away from life (and no, babies are NOT a goal. Biggest turn off and danger there is). It's a lot like drugs. You can really spoil your system with meth level dopamines and get unparalleled experiences that the uninitiated can not even dream about. But the price you pay is that everything else will then just pale in comparison. It's a very tricky problem rating "life experiences " the way he does here

[@zerohero5753]

Sex is disgusting. You stick something in a foreign hole and risk getting STDs or an unwanted child, there are much safer alternatives that will bring you the same amount of pleasure and fulfilment. If you base your entire identity on getting laid and get depressed over it then it's just pathetic.

I saw Joe Rogan perform at SDSU last year.

[@TheRoninthebox]

Ten years ago I didnt understand bill burr comedy, ten years went bye. I'm knocking on 30s door, I've lived life experienced failures, wins, heartbreak and disappointments. I completely understand him now, he is a working mans comedian. Someone that has lived life, I can relate to that man now (plus I'm going bald so theres that too)

[@barneygreene7490]

One thing joe Rogan has to remember you have to be funny when you do comedy

[@fentontuck9998]

"one of the guests i had in the past" That doesn't really narrow it down

[@bytbeats9591]

I love when joe said “I want someone who’s lived”. I’m only 16 but I’ve faced my parents death, went through foster care been in an abusive home, dealt with addiction, and mental illness. I’ve got through that shit all on my own and I 100% believe wisdom is the product of resilience. I believe I have an understanding of the world and society that most people don’t. I can tell joes gone through some shit and that’s why I admire you man

[@Indoman_71]

That incident that Joe was referring to that happened in Vancouver, Canada occurred at Zesty's, which is now called Zawa, in my neighbourhood. I ate there the other day. Good burger. Yup.

[@Hill_Walker]

I'm a student and I appreciate good comedy, there are no lines to be crossed in comedy imo and if people turn up to a stand up and get upset. That's on them and no one else.

[@eatyoudown7268]

"Stone temple pilots"

[@krazyfiend]

Joe, or your team reading this, you fucking nailed it on this subj matter! And I've heard your recall on the stp dana white bday before.. And I'm just as jealous as the first time I heard you recount it. What an epic memory

[@gemmagreymane4984]

Love u joe!

[@pelletubbies]

I used to be in charge of organizing events like this at my university. We had a decent budget to bring comedians and bands to come throughout the year. Brought in some great comedians like Mitch Hedberg and Zach Galifianakis. What Joe says is spot on - the audience just wasn't getting it like you would at a comedy club. Not for any lack of alcohol either.

[@codymathes4450]

Joe really loves saying “Stone temple pilots”...lol

[@menacexp]

Ugh...STP was my fav band and never got to see them in concert 😟

[@skylinesranches2]

I’m in college right now and it’s so sad to me that all my heroes in comedy have been scared away from performing here. I would love nothing more than comics coming back to colleges but I know it won’t happen anytime soon.

[@illegal_notes]

I saw joe in personal and i must admit he is one of the nicest person in the world. He even thought me some tips in Brazilian GAYjitsu

[@DownwardSpiralBlog]

When I was in college (late 1980s), I absolutely LOVED stand up comedy. What a sad state of affairs.

[@leloodallasmultipass]

interesting point. If I had been at a party with STP I might have only listened for a little bit, despite how awesome I might have thought it was that they were there. Just not the right time.

[@pheynx7573]

You know exactly what you are going to see when you go to a comedy show especially when you are familiar with the acts.

[@hayden7062]

"jay z followed by Johnny cash"😂 if only Joe, if only

[@SerErryk]

I saw 311 open for Jay Z. Place was body to body for 311, and half empty for Jay. This was during Jay's prime and past 311's prime.

[@shanenatherly788]

The Kids are not alright.

[@kellysmyth2337]

Perfect Joe

[@octaviososa2679]

Huh, just saw Joe Rogan at UT Austin! Was fkin awesomeeee!!! Haha

[@777superlightwater]

Way too much college tail would be all over Joe and he’s a married man

[@bhec7715]

It's always funny to me how, when speaking on specific issues, Rogan is usually far more in line with conservative views but when asked to describe himself, he says he's more liberal.

[@bmxmyth166]

bhec7715 Joe seems like a complete liberal... SJWs aren’t liberals, he seems conservative in contrast to authoritarian leftists (SJWs). Joe seems liberal in almost everything he says (Drug legalization, pro free speech etc.).

[@declanfoley7562]

He's pro choice ,pro gay marriage ,pro pot legalization

[@roryteare736]

I’d love to see joe rogan go to a British music festival. I bet he’d love it

[@mightymouse8527]

Another good video.

[@shmookins]

What's the deeal with THESE collegeees? (Read in Seinfeld voice).

[@legitjay5591]

Man I thought this guy was dana white for like a month now, when he said “my friend that owns the ufc” I was like isn’t that you lol. They look like brothers also this makes me wonder who the hell have I been watching for a month

[@banfasso3109]

Why? ...because they're both white and bald? You probably think Samuel L Jackson was cool in the Matrix, too....

[@benjaminzaoui9683]

What a dumbass

[@legitjay5591]

You smell

[@benjaminzaoui9683]

Legit Jay delicious

[@legitjay5591]

They clearly resemble each other, dumb fuck

[@stepheva8292]

I love the intro "Hello freak bitches!" 😂🙌♥️

[@paulsuarez3585]

On the ball Joe.
