As the devastating Palisades fire raged through Southern California, fans of Joe Rogan were taken aback by a video clip from January 2024 that eerily predicted the severity of future wildfires in the area.
The Impact of the Palisades Fire
Beginning on January 7, 2025, the Palisades fire has wreaked havoc in Los Angeles, destroying some of the most affluent homes and properties in California. Initially considered a small bushfire, the flames quickly expanded to engulf over 17,000 acres, propelled by strong winds across Southern California’s dry landscape.
Joe Rogan’s Forewarning
Wildfires are not an unfamiliar occurrence in California, a fact that prompted Joe Rogan to engage in a compelling dialogue about their future implications during a podcast episode on January 19, 2024. He recounted an unsettling conversation with a seasoned firefighter who warned of a catastrophic wildfire scenario.
“He was telling me, ‘Dude, one day, it’s just going to be the right wind, and the fire is going to start in the right place and it’s going to burn through LA, all the way to the ocean — and there’s not a f*cking thing we can do about it,’” Rogan recalled, a remark that now resonates in light of the current crisis.

Reactions from the Community
The resurfaced podcast segment generated considerable astonishment among viewers, especially as it resurfaced online amid the Palisades fire’s destructive path. Fans expressed their disbelief: “It’s crazy how everything, word for word, is happening,” one user shared on X. Another noted, “The firefighter he is quoting literally prophesied the destruction of LA!”
Despite awareness of the wildfire risks, many residents were profoundly affected by the recent disaster. Influencers had to act swiftly; Twitch streamer Cash Nasty ended his live session abruptly to evacuate as the fire approached within 40 minutes of his residence. Similarly, members of FaZe Clan evacuated their content house following evacuation notices, while streamer Pokimane expressed concern for her safety, as her home was situated between two active fires.
Community and Celebrity Engagement
As the fire continues to ravage the area, the timeline for complete containment remains uncertain. However, some celebrities have stepped up to assist. Notably, Logan Paul and KSI contributed $60,000 worth of Prime Hydration products, which will aid firefighters in tackling not just the blaze but also the associated water scarcity issues.
In times of crisis, community support is vital, and both locals and influencers alike are rallying to provide assistance, showcasing solidarity in the face of nature’s wrath.
