And this type of comedy is very successful. To deny this is at best naive and myopic and at worst deliberate ignorance of the world around us.&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#x27;s not exclusive to the east coast; go listen to some Bobby Lee brothel stories on YouTube and prepare to be uncomfortable. These are real people, telling real stories about their past.&lt;p&gt;Please understand that people have different tastes; there is a large audience for this type of humor; everyone else try not to choke on your own tears laughing it up with Stephen Colbert.</text><parent_chain><item><author>jasonwatkinspdx</author><text>I&amp;#x27;m not going to bother digging up the clip cuz it&amp;#x27;s easy to find, but it pretty much tells you what you need to know about Rogan.&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#x27;s him talking to Joe Diaz, where Diaz is bragging about how when he was the manager at Laugh Factory he wouldn&amp;#x27;t book female comics unless they sucked his dick.

I will listen occasionally if he has an interesting guest, and I feel a lot of the outrage about him is overblown. But I agree this is pretty disgusting.</text><parent_chain><item><author>jasonwatkinspdx</author><text>I&amp;#x27;m not going to bother digging up the clip cuz it&amp;#x27;s easy to find, but it pretty much tells you what you need to know about Rogan.&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#x27;s him talking to Joe Diaz, where Diaz is bragging about how when he was the manager at Laugh Factory he wouldn&amp;#x27;t book female comics unless they sucked his dick.
