Rogan said, “And Ron White… he was the best example” talking about men who returned to the stand-up scene after a hiatus.

He spoke about the influential stand-up comic and said “He was like ’I’m gonna retire…” while imitating Ron White.

He continued the story “… And then Tony Hinchcliffe had a show at the Vulcan Gas company in Austin.” and asked Ron White to do a set. At first, the comedian declined the invitation but reconsidered and agreed to do the stand-up set for 15 minutes.

The 55-year-old thought to himself, “This would be interesting…” at the prospect of his return to the stage.

Apparently, the actor with a net worth of $40 Million got some new material and was preparing himself for the show.

The JRE host added that it was a “Sold out show…” because “People are so excited to go out…”, amidst the pandemic. Rogan described that people were in splits during his set “Ron White goes on stage and f****** murders” and adds “Like he had never missed a beat!”

Ron White impressed the crowd almost as much as he impressed himself with his performance. Joe Rogan, who had to go onstage next, exchanged a few words with the comedian. “He comes off stage and I’m going on after him…”

According to Rogan, “He grabs me by the shoulders” “He goes ‘Whatever the f*** we have to do, we’re gonna keep doing this…!”

The podcast host described the comedian’s state “He was so fired up!” and replied “I was like, ‘we’re doing this Ron’”
