“You were going to get a shot,” recalls Joe Rogan to Bobby Lee

The story dates back to the 90s when both of the individuals were still young. Rogan was headlining at the comedy club where Bobby Lee was working. As per Lee, the podcaster’s reputation overwhelmed him. After the event, all of them went to another gentleman’s club in San Diego where the incident took place.

Both of them recollected the event, however, Rogan remembered the specifics of it. The 56-year-old narrated the story and stated that Lee was drunk and failed to read the tense situation at the pub. Lee went to a stripper and asked her for a lap dance. The catch is that the stripper was in a conversation with her boyfriend, who was a member of a gang.
