In Photos: Incredible snaps of Joe Rogan working his magic at 'Burn The Boats' weekend in San Antonio
Joe Rogan recently returned to the big stage to record his latest comedy special, Burn The Boats. The show marked the UFC commentator's first special in six years and his third for streaming giant Netflix.
The show was performed and streamed live last weekend at the Majestic Theater in San Antonio, Texas. Given Rogan's popularity and reputation, it's no surprise that his stand-up special turned out to be a sold-out event.
The Joe Rogan Experience (JRE) podcast host was notably covered by veterans Troy Conrad and Lauren Smith, who captured some incredible pictures of him working his magic for the audience. In an Instagram post, Conrad shared some snaps from the 'Burn The Boats' weekend. He wrote in the caption:
"'Burn The Boats' weekend in San Antonio with @joerogan... Incredible time on an incredible special. I photographed Joe a lot while he was working this special out and it’s amazing to see it come together like it did. Now on @netflixisajoke... 2nd to last pic by the wonderful @lauren.lo.smith."

Joe Rogan blames psychedelics ban for decline of American culture
During a recent episode of the Joe Rogan Experience podcast (JRE), the 56-year-old discussed the impact that psychedelics had on American culture and how banning them changed things for the worse.
During a conversation with Norman Ohler on the JRE show (#2183), an author who has extensively researched the effects of psychoactive drugs in warzones, Rogan went deep on the "disruptor" effect that psychedelics had on American social and political structures and said:
"They [the US government] wanted to stop this radical shift in society that they were seeing from the 1950s to the 1960s... It's a cycle that repeats itself over and over again."
Rogan continued:
"Whenever there's a powerful disruptor, that might be ultimately great for the human race, but bad for the power structures that are in place currently, they step in and they do their best to throw water on it. And what they did between the late 1960s to the 1980s, they radically shifted culture. Everything changed. Music sucked. Cars sucked. Everything sucked."
