In one recent episode of his podcast with guest and fellow stand-up comedian, Paul Virzi, Rogan talked about the times he bombed on stage. He also compared that feeling to the most brutal thing one can think of.

Rogan said, Stand-up comedy is one of the most brutal learning processes. I would say that bombing on stage is like s**king a thousand d**ks in front of your mother.”

“But the difference is there’s probably somebody out there that wants to suck a thousand d**ks in front of his mom… But there’s no one out there that wants to bomb,” Rogan added.

Further on, he also lauded the Babylon bee news portal for its sarcastic articles. Rogan said, “They are terrible. And that’s why the funniest parody comedy now is coming out of the Babylon bee. Because what they are doing is poking fun at this most obvious ridiculous s**t.”
