What did Joe Rogan say about people being angry?
The conversation started with a parallel between the 2000s comedy scene and the current one. The group shared the infamous 2000 incident of comedians Lewis Black and Jim Norton as an example. In fact, the authorities put both comedians behind the bars for their involvement in “The Naked Teen Voyeur Bus” incident.
