Joe Rogan's great uncle was in a bar when someone slit his throat, missing the carotid arteries by less than a quarter of an inch.
I've always heard the story. Obviously, you know how stories are, but I've heard from a couple of different people. I have like a great uncle somewhere along the line. He passed away before I was alive. He was in a bar. I know right where the place is. The building's still there to this day. He was in the bar. He was sitting down having some drinks with a friend. I don't know the relationship between him and the guy. The guy walked up behind him, slit his throat. Oh, God. He missed the carotid arteries, both of them, by like not even a quarter of an inch, like not even ate them an inch. He missed both of them. So it was just here. Oh, shit. He chased the guy out, almost beat him to death, and then almost died because he couldn't breathe.
