Jokes, folks – just jokes.” So says shockjock podcaster Joe Rogan, in the short trailer for his new stand-up special, Joe Rogan: Burn the Boats. “Feel that? That’s some ride-home arguments in the air,” he says. “Don’t get mad at me. You know why you came here.” And, of course, everyone does. The vast majority of people watching – either in person at San Antonio’s Majestic Theatre, or streaming live on Netflix – will be devotees of Rogan’s absurdly popular podcast. But the jokes aren’t the selling point. No, people are here for everything that comes with it: outspokenness, brash masculinity, and probably more than a dash of dubious conspiratorial conjecture.
