“I was doing pictures with fans once after a show. This fu****g big dude with like a weird mustache. He wanted to take a picture and goes ‘could I carry you in the picture?'” recalled Rogan.

Quite a weird request, considering that the comedian himself probably weighs close to 200 pounds.

He was so taken aback that Rogan had to double-check with the fan if that was what he really wanted. “I go ‘what?’ I go like a baby? Is that what you are saying?”

Rogan claims the fan was plain weird and probably meant no disrespect

Now, seeing himself in a situation like this would probably mean that he would find it rather disrespectful for someone to carry him for a picture. But the 55-year-old claimed that it was definitely not the case with this particular man.

“He wasn’t [being disrespectful] he really wanted to carry me in the picture. Something off about this dude. I think he was just like real weird and big and he wanted to carry me.” explained Rogan.
