Joe Rogan defends Shane Gillis' joke about women dressing like prostitutes at the gym

Podcaster Joe Rogan defended Shane Gillis' joke about women who wear skimpy clothes while working out at the gym but get mad when men look at them.

Joe Rogan, podcast, from comedian Shane Gillis after his Saturday Night Live monologue went viral after a joke about women filming themselves while exercising in revealing clothes went viral.

Known for his politically incorrect humor, Gillis took issue with the left last week for his monologue while hosting SNL, joking about "going to a public gym as a fat man."

"Also, I haven't been to the gym in a long time. I didn't know women were dressing like whores now? Look, I'm sorry. There's no way to describe it... Have you seen it? I've seen it. Shorts. Have you seen shorts?" he asked.

"And don't look! You're not allowed to look. Really. Don't look because they're filming. I have like 10 TikToks in the background right now."

Shane Gillis shrugs, mocks the Chelsea manager's fury over his quips at the Kevin Hart Roast.

These comments sparked controversy and accusations of misogyny from the left. Rogan made the comments while speaking with influencer Cody Tucker on his podcast on Thursday.

"I guess the word 'whore' is what sets them off. I get it. I get that you get upset. Well, that's also because there's actually real misogyny," Rogan said.

"So, when you see a guy make a joke about a woman who dresses like a whore, it's like horrible thoughts, like horrible actions, like real evil men that actually are. Because, like, there are a lot of men who really hate women," Rogan said. Shane Gillis is not one of them.

"And he's a great guy. It's just a joke."

Comedian Tim Dillon hits out at Sidney Sweeney's critics who are upset about the steamy ad: “How crazy is that? '

Gillis has appeared on Rogan's widely followed podcast, which often features fellow comedians.

"But for some people, these words - and then you see like the word police people, which is funny. "We have to stop using that word," Rogan said. "We still use the word whore." Like, isn't it? It's a great word for yourself too.

Rogan added: "For example, I freely admit that when I did the second iteration of 'Fear Factor' it was because I was a whore. They offered me to come back in 2011 and host 'Fear Factor' again. And I'm like, 'I'm a whore.' Let's go."
