Joe Rogan is a man with many interests. And rightfully so. His podcast also effectively reflects the breadth of knowledge he has amassed on a range of subjects. The 55-year-old hosts ‘The Joe Rogan Experience,’ a hugely popular podcast show where he talks about a wide range of subjects with all kinds of guests.
Rapper Danny Brown was the JRE’s most recent guest. Gambling came up in conversation during a segment of the episode, and both, Rogan and Brown revealed their fair share of gambling-related experiences.

Both started to talk about their memories in Vegas. Rogan also had a recollection with his wife when Brown was talking about his Las Vegas gambling experience.
Joe Rogan lost to his wife in blackjack
During the podcast, Joe Rogan pulled up a picture of him with his friends in Vegas, and Danny Brown said right away that Vegas had not been very kind to him. His wallet, for that matter. Brown said, “Vegas. I have so many bad memories of Vegas.”
When Rogan asked Brown whether he gambles, he stated, “I do gamble, to lose money.” To which the 55-year-old surprisingly asked, “You want to lose money?” And Brown answered, “No. That’s the way I gamble. With no intentions of winning money. So let’s just say like if I go to Vegas, I bet. Alright, I am gonna get a 1000 up. Not just wild out with a little thousand dollars. Once I lose my thousand dollars, that’s a wrap. I ain’t doing it.”
