Joe Rogan and Kurt Metzger reflect on former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried playing League of Legends

Recently, Joe Rogan hosted American stand-up comedian Kurt Metzger on the Spotify podcast The Joe Rogan Experience. As the podcast went ahead, they shared their views and talked about recent happenings and social changes. More so, a segment came when Rogan brought up the situation surrounding FTX and Sam Bankman-Fried (also known as SBF).

Metzger extended the thought by saying, “Oh yeah well…which I love is they’re all reporting on like how could this happen like you know he [Sam Bankman-Fried] would play League of Legends while he’s on the phone doing a 20 million dollar deal and then, who was it? Goldman Sachs? Somebody’s like I love this kid, they all think it’s great. How could they think that’s great? Because he’s a rich kid with connected parents. It’s not, if he’s just some jerk off the street to look like that, they wouldn’t be like ‘oh this is great.'”
