Joe Rogan's latest Netflix special might come with laughs, but it also stirs up quite the debate! Get the scoop on all the antics and odd moments.

Joe Rogan has made his much-anticipated return to Netflix with his latest stand-up special titled "Burn the Boats," which aired live on August 3, 2023. After a six-year hiatus from the stand-up scene, Rogan's fans were eager to see what the podcasting titan had up his sleeve. Filmed at the historic Majestic Theater in San Antonio, Texas, the special promised a riot of laughs, though it inevitably dove into contention with some of its material. From COVID-19 quips to dialog on the ever-controversial topic of trans rights, Rogan didn't shy away from inflammatory subjects, drawing comparisons with the likes of Dave Chappelle who has faced backlash for similar content in his specials.

The special, while dipped in comedic traditionalism, leans heavily on topical references that may resonate only with the current cultural climate in the U.S. and Canada. Among the shared experiences of witnessing live comedy, Joe Rogan managed to infuse his unique brand of humor with a slew of controversies, including jokes poking fun at vaccination beliefs and conspiracy theories. Critics suggest that Rogan, much like corporate comic giants before him, seems to rely on a specific formula comprised of a mix of absurdities to keep the audience laughing while instigating thought-provoking conversations.
