Comedian makes astounding revelation about Joe Rogan's relationship with "money and fame": "Didn't change how honest he is"

Joe Rogan was recently praised by his close-friend Bryan Callen, after the comedian/actor revealed he doesn't believe fame or money has changed the UFC commentator over the years.

Callen and Rogan have been friends since 1995, when the pair were cast as brothers in the television sitcom 'NewsRadio'. They each continued to pursue their careers in acting and stand-up comedy, with Callen opening a number of Rogan's gigs over recent years.

Fans of the Joe Rogan Experience (JRE) podcast, will also likely recognize Callen, as a regular guest on the JRE MMA show. Alongside the likes of Brendan Schaub and Eddie Bravo, the quartet often drinks and shares stories while watching the UFC.

Recently, Bryan Callen opened up about his relationship with Rogan while chatting to Tim Welch on his Redhawk Recap podcast. According to Callen, in the 30 years he's known Joe Rogan, he's never changed, despite the money or status he's earned. He explained:

"When Joe signed his second Spotify deal, I spoke to him. I've known him 30 years exactly. I said 'You haven't changed since I met you, if anything you've calmed down and have of mind'...Money and fame literally didn't change him. It didn't change how hard he works out, it didn't change how honest he is. It didnt anything about him."

Joe Rogan reacts to 'Hawk Tuah' girl Haliey Welch's alleged crypto scam

Joe Rogan recently reacted to 'Hawk Tuah' girl Haliey Welch allegedly being involved in a crypto scam that has seen investors lose millions.

Welch gained her fame in 2024 as she arguably became one of the year's biggest memes. Her 'Hawk Tuah' quote from an interview went viral and she has since gone on to release merchandise, host a podcast and launch the cryptocurrency $HAWK. The latter of which saw it rise to a $500 million valuation before crashing to $25 million, leading to Welch being accused of being involved in an illegal pump-and-dump scheme.

Speaking on episode #2249 of the JRE, Rogan said:

"One guy invested a million dollars. Imagine like, ‘The Hawk Tuah girl? Yeah, that’s a sound investment... It was probably some people she got invested in, and she probably doesn’t understand all that stuff. She’s only 22 or something. It’s probably the partners that went with her. They pumped and dumped on her, and then she was left holding the bill because nobody knows who they are. I’m just guessing. I don’t know.”
