Everything Joe Rogan said in the eerie resurfaced clip where he predicted the LA wildfires

He anticipated the natural disaster in a podcast episode last year


A clip of Joe Rogan predicting the LA wildfires has resurfaced after huge wildfires ripped through Hollywood on Tuesday.

At least five have died in the blaze, which has seen around 130,000 people under mandatory evacuation and the homes of several Hollywood celebrities burn to the ground.

But comedian and podcast host, Joe Rogan, spoke about wildfires in California back in July 2024, where he harrowingly predicted the natural disaster with great accuracy.

On an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience aired on July 19th, Joe discussed wildfires in California with fellow comedian, Sam Morril, who noticed Joe was wearing a T-shirt representing the Los Angeles Fire Department.

Praising the department as a “badass job”, Sam and Joe continued to chat about fires, with the podcast host relaying a conversation he’d had with a firefighter about how wildfires could easily get out of hand.

Joe explained how in conversation with a firefighter, he said: “One day, it’s just gonna be the right wind and fire’s gonna start in the right place and it’s gonna burn through LA all the way to the ocean and there’s not a f*cking thing we can do about it.”

Asking the firefighter whether that could be true, Joe explained how he replied that it was, and that they had only narrowly been avoided before when they “just get lucky with the wind”.

Talking about how winds can blow embers across the dry LA climate, he continued: “If the wind hits the wrong way, it’s just going to burn through LA and there’s not a thing we can do about it.”

Joe said: “These fires are so big, we’re talking about thousands of acres that are burning simultaneously with 40mph winds. And the winds just blow embers through the air, and those embers are landing on roofs, and those houses are going up, and they’re landing on bushes, and those bushes are going up. And everything’s dry. And once it happens, it happens in a way where it’s so spread out that there’s nothing they can do.”

An unearthed clip of Joe Rogan making a chilling prediction about how ferocious wildfires in Los Angeles have the potential to get out of hand has gone viral online. This week, at least five people have lost their lives in the devastating natural disaster – with 2,000 structures completely obliterated and thousands of people left with nothing but ash across the City of Angels. Comedian Rogan was speaking to fellow comic Sam Morill on an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience that aired on July 19, 2024, when he mentioned wildfires in California. At one point, Morill pointed out the t-shirt Rogan was wearing representing the Los Angeles Fire Department, noting it was a ‘bada**’ job. Rogan then recounted the stunning conversation he’d had with a firefighter about how wildfires could get shockingly out of hand. He said: ‘One day, it’s just gonna be the right wind and fire’s gonna start in the right place and it’s gonna burn through LA all the way to the ocean and there’s not a f***ing thing we can do about it.’ Rogan incredulously asked if it was really true and the unnamed firefighter affirmed, saying that previous times they’ve ‘just get lucky with the wind.’ ‘If the wind hits the wrong way, it’s just going to burn through LA and there’s not a thing we can do about it,’ talking about how the winds can blow the embers through the dry Los Angeles climate. These fires are so big… once it happens, it happens in a way that it’s so spread out that there’s nothing they can do.’ Morill then agreed with Rogan that the only solution was to evacuate. The clip started re-circulating on social media following the devastation in California this week – with many pointing out that the eerie message Rogan passed on from his firefighting friend has come true. ‘Joe Rogan accurately predicted this wildfire happening in LA last year,’ one wrote, including the ‘mind blown’ emoji. ‘The warning signs were there,’ added Texas Patriot, sharing the video clip. Another wrote: ‘The California fires were perfectly predicted with insane accuracy by a firefighter that spoke to Joe Rogan.’ Rogan himself got in on the act, re-sharing the video on his own Instagram story with comments from artists Milana Blackman. ‘And here we are… This is projected to be the most catastrophic wildfire in our country’s history.’ They got onto the subject of fires after discussing his experiences living in California before moving to Austin, Texas. Rogan noted that he and his wife had to evacuate three times, the last time burning the two houses in front of his to the ground. Ultimately, it was one of many problems he had with Los Angeles but he said the weather was why he ‘didn’t trust it’ to stay together. A ferocious new wildfire has erupted in the Hollywood Hills – sparking a mass evacuation of the iconic Hollywood Boulevard amid warnings that another 100,000 residents should be prepared to evacuate their homes. The hellish, fast-moving inferno sweeping through the Hills triggered the urgent evacuation order at 6pm local time on Wednesday – impacting at least 50 acres already near Runyon Canyon. Now, the Sunset Fire is set to wreak burning havoc in the celebrity epicenter, causing the famous strip, home to the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the TLC Chinese Theatre and the Hollywood Bowl, to be evacuated. The alert read: ‘A Mandatory Evacuation Order is now in place for Laurel Canyon Blvd (on the west) to Mulholland Dr (on the north) to 101 Freeway (on the east) down to Hollywood Blvd (on the south).’#california #news #fire
