You know, at the end he sings Revival and he has people come on stage and sing with him. It's a great f**king show. He puts on an amazing show. So, he brought her out there and she yells out 'Hawk Tuah' to the whole crowd. They all cheer."

Joe Rogan revisits growing up in a gay neighborhood
Joe Rogan recently hosted Sam Tallent on episode #2175 of JRE. He revisited his experience growing up in a gay San Francisco neighborhood from the age of seven through 11, stating:
"My neighbors were gay and my aunt used to, she would smoke pot with these gay guys and they would get naked and play the bongos. They would be like, 'oh, she's over there playing the bongos with the gay guys'. It's like, 'okay', like it was so normal to me that it wasn't until I moved to Florida that I even realized that people were homophobic and that was when I was 11."
