Joe Rogan starts getting WhatsApp calls mid-conversation with Shane Gillis

Shane Gillis talked about the “true” ‘Joe Rogan Experience’, referring to the 56-year-old’s daily schedule of working out, podcasting, and performing stand-up comedy. While discussing if it is hard to maintain a balance between everything, the JRE podcast host started getting spammed with calls on his WhatsApp.

Joe Rogan said, “I am getting WhatsApp calls. How am I getting WhatsApp calls?” He did not seem to recognize the people who were constantly calling on the Meta platform. This led Shane Gillis to inquire if it was an emergency call. He asked, “Is that from the emergency unit?” However, that was not the case.

Some random people were calling him, which Rogan had been ignoring the whole day. “No, this one’s not. But I’ve gotten multiple WhatsApp calls today,” said the 56-year-old. That led to him assuming that his WhatsApp number had been leaked, prompting a harsh measure.
