An unearthed clip of Joe Rogan is making the rounds amid the tragic wildfires in California.
The Palisades Fire in Los Angeles was first reported on Tuesday and has since grown to over 17,000 acres with zero percent containment.
The Eaton Fire followed on Tuesday night, prompting evacuation orders for thousands of people. The following day, the Sunset Fire erupted in Hollywood Hills near the Hollywood Bowl and Hollywood Walk of Fame.
California is going through intense hell, but this could’ve all been avoided if someone had listened to a podcast episode from “The Joe Rogan Experience.”
The 57-year-old was shockingly wearing a Los Angeles Fire Department shirt while speaking with fellow comic Sam Morril in 2024
In the clip, Rogan said: “I talked to a fireman once—this is one of the reasons it freaked me out—and he was telling me, he goes, ‘Dude, one day… it’s just going to be the right wind and fire is going to start in the right place, and it’s going to burn through L.A. all the way to the ocean, and it’s not a f—ing thing we can do about it.’
“I go, ‘Really?’ He goes, ‘Yeah, we just get lucky…. We get lucky with the wind… But if the wind hits the wrong way, it’s just going to burn straight through L.A., and there’s not going to be a thing we could do about it.’”

Things are only slated to continue to get worse.
The National Weather Service says “extremely critical fire weather conditions” will “continue for portions of the Southern California Coast with critical conditions persisting into Thursday.”
This week, there was some concern around the Rose Bowl Stadium after fires broke out, and authorities issued an evacuation warning for Pasadena.
The Rose Bowl area was designated with a Level 2 evacuation warning, the second-most severe.
