“What the fuck is happening, San Antonio!” declares Joe Rogan at the start of his first live Netflix special, Joe Rogan: Burn the Boats. The long-time podcaster returned to his original craft, stand-up comedy, at the Majestic Theatre in his home state of Texas on August 3, where he performed live for fans and all of Netflix to see. And then things got weird — like, supernatural weird. “I am very invested in aliens being real,” he says.
“I think the dumbest argument that aliens aren’t real is when they go, ‘If aliens are real why don’t they just land on the White House lawn?’” Rogan then asked the audience: “When you go fishing, do you check in with the president of the lake? No, you just trick those idiots with fake food and then you pull ‘em out by their lips and take pictures of ‘em, and drop ‘em back off in the water,” he says. “Just like the aliens do to us!”
And this isn’t the first time Rogan has wondered about aliens, either. He’s pondered some pretty extra-terrestrial topics like: Why haven’t they landed on Earth yet? And surely they’ve been watching us, right? Last year, he invited whistleblower David Grusch on his podcast to discuss whether the Pentagon is hiding a secret UFO retrieval program. So he’s familiar with all things out of this world.
Rogan also did a segment on being high at the airport: “No one notices ‘cause everyone’s acting weird. No one acts normal at the airport, they’re all standing around, talking quiet, they’re all worried they’re gonna die — when you’re high you blend right in with those folks.”
Burn the Boats is Rogan’s seventh comedy special, including two others for Netflix — Joe Rogan: Strange Times and Joe Rogan: Triggered. A stand-up comedian with more than 30 years under his belt, some people may also know him as the host of Fear Factor and the popular podcast The Joe Rogan Experience, as well as a commentator for the UFC.
If you missed the live special, you can watch it on Netflix right now.
