Joe Rogan Expresses Concern Over Media’s Response to Silicon Valley Bank Collapse News: “They Have Been Wrong About Everything”
Follow Us
UFC commentator Joe Rogan recently expressed apprehensions about the credibility of the media outlets as another 2008 situation might be on the horizon. The standup comic feared the falling apart of the money and also the fake money when he appeared on the latest episode of his famed podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience. Into its 14th year of running, the podcast covers everything under the sun. Notably, the podcast caters to its millions of loyal listeners with recent developments and other idiosyncratic issues. However, the conversation turned grim as it touched on the recent trouble in Silicon Valley that occupied the headlines in major news outlets.
The 55-year-old, while pointing out the possibility of the bank collapsing, wasn’t aware of the fresh development regarding the Silicon Valley Bank. The famed podcaster then blamed it on his financial ignorance and partly due to being friends with Alex Jones. Markedly, the color commentator sat down with fellow comedian Bert Kreischer in ep. #1954 of JRE. In addition, it was the guest who drew a parallel between the 2008 housing crises with the current bank collapses.

In response, Young Jamie, the JRE producer, mentioned he watched the news yesterday to figure out the same. The news emphatically replied negatively and reassured the audience to not worry about it. However, the comedian didn’t find it convincing enough and minced strong words.
