Joe Rogan’s Producer Jamie Tests Positive For Coronavirus, Podcast Cancelled This Week
Joe Rogan and Kanye West seem to have this sort of star-crossed lovers situation happening. The podcast host and rapper-turned-presidential candidate have been teasing fans on and off for the past year or so about doing an episode together for Rogan’s The Joe Rogan Experience, and it’s not yet come to fruition.
At one point in time, it seemed like the idea was dead, however it was renewed last week during a recent Kanye twitter rant, when the rapper declared that he would “LOVE” to go on the podcast next week. From there, the two quickly got in contact, with Kanye providing the update on his end, sharing a screenshot of his FaceTime call with Rogan, and revealing that he would reportedly design a distinct set for their conversation (perhaps Kanye is not a fan of Rogan’s new toaster-oven-studio out in Texas).
Kanye revealed last week that he would be appearing on Rogan’s podcast on Friday of this week, but alas, Rogan has shared an update that will ultimately prevent this podcast from happening on Friday. As of now, it’s unclear when, or if, it will be rescheduled.

Taking to Instagram, Rogan revealed that his right-hand man and Googler-extraordinaire, Jamie Vernon, has caught the Coronavirus. Joe Rogan tested negative.
“Young Jamie Vernon tested positive today for COVID-19,” Rogan reveals in the clip below. “I tested negative, the rest of the staff tested negative, but Jamie tested positive. He thought maybe he had a sinus infection or allergies, but he has COVID. We were off last week, the episodes that aired we had previously recorded, so I hadn’t seen Jamie in about nine days.”
He continued, “We cancelled all the shows. I’m keeping away from everybody, and testing myself and testing the staff every day until were in the clear. There’s nothing we can do, so we’re cancelling all the podcasts this week, and I don’t know when we’re going to do them again, until we get a clear from the doctor. I think it’s ten days and three negative tests in a row.”
He capped off the video stating he may do some episodes remotely or with another producer — but the chances seem slim, if you listen to Rogan, you know how important Jamie is to the show, and it would seem near-blasphemous to do an episode with Kanye (of all people) and not have Young Jamie behind the boards. It’s also worth noting that Rogan made no mention of any specific guests, and thus no mention of Kanye, in his video clip.
“I don’t know what we’re gunna do, we may do some shows remotely, we may do some shows with a substitute producer which I really don’t want to do. I’m happy that Jamie has a mild case, I’m happy that he’s feeling better, but obviously it’s a fucked up situation. My apologies to all of the guests, my apologies to all of you,” Rogan says.
Watch the full video clip below. We’ll keep you posted if we hear more from Kanye about the proposed episode.

François Marius and Bérénice creates a tender acoustic pop confession with “Billie Jean”
François Marius’ latest release, “Billie Jean (Acoustic Version),” cuts to the quick and lets raw emotion take over. What you get, ultimately, is a personal pop experience that feels closer to a secret than to either a spoken-word show or a performance. The initial soft strum of an acoustic guitar creates a mood that is soft, sweet, and quietly interesting. It’s a full-throated, backbones-out piece, and every note is screaming its potential. It’s simple but riveting, and it proves that sometimes less is more.
François Marius and Bérénice’s voices sound right together, their voicings intermingle so naturally that they seem accidental or spontaneous, harmonies that emerge from nowhere. The way they speak to one another is very, I mean, they really love each other. That even makes the track seem like a conversation about feelings.
The two artists are clearly close. Romance and Eros are not just ideas, and they inhabit every note that lingers and every minuscule shift in tonality. The harmonies soar effortlessly over the acoustic foundation, a blend of sweetness and strength. It’s a sign of strength and also of a willingness to be hurt.
“Billie Jean (Acoustic Version)” is stripped of any fancy production or theatrical effects, it wins you over with its frankness and forthrightness. Sandy François Marius’s impersonation is fresh and real, endowed with depth and softness thanks to Bérénice’s presence, which definitely makes everything more perfect. This acoustic performance serves as a stark reminder of the elements that do connect people: the singer, his guitar, and a story from the heart.
