While talking with Gillis. Rogan shared one of the most traumatic experiences of his childhood. He said, “When I was a young kid, I remember I went to Catholic school for one year and had this nun… Her name is Sister Mary Josephine, and she was so mean… she would tell you that she’s going to make you sit on a nail in the closet and you better bring your pajamas because you’re staying here tonight.”

Adding further to his upsetting story, the former Fear Factor host said, “Kids would cry, we cry. We were so scared because I went from being with my mom, who’s like this sweet lady. This is the lady that I’m used to.”

Rogan continues, “My mom’s nice to me. She loves me. So all this crazy doesn’t get the f*k. You’re dressed in this weird costume and she was so mean and what it did to me at an early age was like, oh, okay, that’s bulls**t. Because, like you know, you have to see things that are so stunningly obvious. It is this had nothing to do with God. This is like a mean person who is just torturing kids and since I hadn’t been around that it was very unusual for me and I was like, oh, this is all horses*t.“
