The Joe Rogan Experience podcast has one of the biggest audiences. The 54-year-old host keeps an open format for the show. Thus, nothing is pre-planned or scripted for either him or his guests. This, though, has led to various bizarre discussions on the show. But perhaps this unfiltered concept was the reason Spotify valued the show near $200 million in 2020.

In one of the recent episodes (#1845), guest Zachary Levi appeared on Rogan’s podcast. The former ‘Fear Factor’ host and Levi talked about the infamous Johnny Depp Amber Heard trial that eventually led them to reflect upon the NFL Hall of Fame O.J. Simpson’s verdict as well.

While discussing the ex-Hollywood couple’s situation, Rogan asked, “Do we give up on that? Jurors being influenced by the outside world.” 

DC’s Shazam movie actor replied, “No… That’s still very much the law, I believe.”

The UFC color commentator further asked, “Wasn’t it at a certain point of time that they were restricted, like they weren’t allowed to watch media or something like that? They were sequestered. Is that still going on, or do they get to go home?”

The DC movie star said, “It depends on the trail. I think so, yeah. Like, in O.J. Simpson trial, all those guys got sequestered for a long f***ing time. Oh, man, it was not ideal for any of them.”

The 54-year-old Rogan, hearing Levi’s words, cheekily added, “And after all that they still come up with a f***ed up verdict.”

The 41-year-old Hollywood star said, “I mean it was a, I agree, I don’t see him as being innocent in that at all.”
