Joe Rogan recently responded to ‘Hawk Tua’ girl Hayley Welch’s alleged involvement in a high-stakes cryptocurrency scam. UFC commentators also questioned the mental health of those who invested in Welch’s meme coin, while showing some sympathy for the social media sensation.
For context, Welch was thrust into the spotlight after her “Hawk Tuah” words from an on-the-street interview went viral online. She used her notoriety to join Jake Paul’s Betr media company and start the Talk Tuah podcast. Last month, she released her own crypto meme coin $HAWK, which reached a peak valuation of $500 million but has since fallen to $25 million. This led to her being accused of being involved in a pump-and-dump scheme.
On a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience podcast (JRE #2249) with Yannis Pappas and Chris DiStefano, Rogan discussed the looming lawsuit against Welch and shared his thoughts on the matter. he said:
“Imagine a guy invested a million dollars and said, ‘Hawk Tua girl? Yeah, that’s a sound investment.’ Maybe she invested in some people. And she probably doesn’t understand all that. She’s only 22. Maybe the partner she went with paid her and then didn’t know who she was. It was. know. “

Rogan then read an article confirming the number of people suing Welch for $151,000 worth of damages.
“Isn’t it weird that we lost a total of $151,000 when there were only 12 people?… How many frigid bastards are there roaming the world?”

Joe Rogan speaks out about fabricated conspiracy theories with ‘nefarious’ ambitions
In the same episode, Joe Rogan spoke about the prevalence of conspiracy theories in popular culture and how it can be a tool for other purposes. He theorized that some people could use fabricated theories about well-known events to distract the public.
Speaking to Yannis Pappas and Chris DiStefano on the JRE Podcast, Rogan said, referring to notorious conspiracy theory peddler Alex Jones:
“Some people create fake conspiracy theories and publish them online. There is also a more sinister side to this (besides gaining attention with such content). The more you can show it, the more ridiculous the real conspiracy theories look.” …If there are a lot of things that don’t make sense, like Jews controlling the weather… (which distracts from the real reason). ”
