Joe Rogan addresses Spotify scandal in first stand up show since controversy: 'I talk s--- for a living'

Joe Rogan returned to the stand-up stage on Tuesday night where he dedicated some time to discuss the recent cultural scandal surrounding his podcast, “The Joe Rogan Experience.”

However, according to The Hollywood Reporter, Rogan made light of the situation during a stand-up show in Austin, Texas. Tuesday in front of a crowd of fans and supporters. As he did in his apology video, Rogan said the compilation video of him using the N-word that went viral did not have the larger context of the conversation attached to it.

"I used to say it if [I was talking about] a Richard Pryor bit or something, I would say it in context," Rogan said. "Somebody made a compilation of every time I said that word over 14 years and they put it on YouTube, and it turned out that was racist as f---. Even to me! I’m me and I’m watching it saying, ‘Stop saying it!’ I put my cursor over the video and I’m like, ‘Four more minutes?!’"
