Joe Rogan cries laughing at Chris Distefano\u2019s wild story about New York Mets owner YouTube\/JREJoe Rogan was in tears after learning how comedian Chris Distefano became friends with New York Mets owner Steve Cohen by completely bombing at a private event. Chris Distefano appeared on the Joe Rogan Experience wearing a New York Mets jersey and explained the outrageous reason he became a fan, leaving Joe in stitches. According to Distefano, Steve Cohen\u2019s wife had hired him to perform some standup at a private 60th birthday event and was expecting the sports team owner\u2019s entire family to be there. Instead, the comedian had to deal with just Cohen and his ten of his friends who had no idea comedy was even supposed to happen. \u201cA sixty-year-old billionaire doesn\u2019t know who the f**k I am,\u201d he explained, which got a groan out of Rogan. Distefano further explained that the entire setup didn\u2019t include a microphone or any lights, just a small room with ten guys eating dinner. To make matter worse, Cohen\u2019s assistant even claimed that \u201cit doesn\u2019t feel like they\u2019re gonna like you,\u201d which made Joe burst out laughing. Eventually, Chris tried doing his bit, but failed horribly, with some of the men chirping him and even throwing a piece of shrimp at him. However, Cohen stepped up, offering to double the comedian\u2019s pay if he was able to make him laugh with his best five minutes. After trying his David Letterman set, Cohen actually laughed and agreed to double his pay, but not before the comedian was asked to sign a bunch of NDAs about the event. Distefano suspected that the NDAs were due to the location and time of the private event and proceeded to discuss it the next day on his own podcast with Sal Vulcano \u2013 which resulted in him getting threats by Cohen\u2019s legal team. However, Cohen\u2019s family was a big fan of the podcast and had sent him private Instagram DMs praising him and sure enough, the lawyers backed off. \u201cThe family now has become friends of mine,\u201d Chris explained, recalling how he\u2019s been able to attend games for free. During one event, Steve even gave the comedian a chance to redeem himself by doing a set during a rain delay, but that ended up being a disaster too. \u201cOh my God,\u201d Rogan broke down in hysterics learning how Distefano had bombed at the Mets game while wearing a floral shirt and a small microphone attached to his clothing. \u201cI\u2019m bombing in front of 30,000. Steve Cohen and his friends, by the way, are dying laughing cause they knew it was going to happen. And Steve goes, \u2018you\u2019re alright man.\u2019\u201d Luckily, despite the two horrible sets, Distefano ended up making a pretty high-profile friend in the process \u2013 something that Joe Rogan absolutely lost his mind over.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
