When Joe Rogan made his fellow comedians try smelling salts in his JRE podcast

Joe Rogan is no stranger to pushing boundaries on the Joe Rogan Experience, and episode #1764 delivered one of the funniest moments when comedians Ari Shaffir, Shane Gillis, and Mark Normand were introduced to smelling salts for the first time.

The comedians, brimming with confidence, claimed they could handle the potent substance. However, their reactions told a different story. Normand, known for his quick wit, quipped before taking a whiff:

My ex had a real [stinky], tangy vag. I bet I can take this"

His confidence was short-lived as the smelling salts hit him hard. Grimacing, he exclaimed:

"Oh god! Smells like my ex!”

Shaffir’s turn brought its humor. Rogan, always ready with a jab, teased Shaffir about his larger-than-average nose, joking that he probably inhaled the most.

Gillis' reaction, while less quotable, added to the comedic chaos as the three comedians struggled to recover from the intense smell.
