If you’re a fan of the UFC commentator Joe Rogan‘s podcast, high chances are you’ve heard the phrase, “Jamie, pull that up.” Young Jamie is the producer of The Joe Rogan Experience podcast and has been working with the podcast host for nearly a decade.
“Young Jamie” or Jamie Vernon is one of the main reasons for the success of the Joe Rogan Experience podcast. Though the UFC commentator does a great job of being the face and voice of the podcast, all background, and the quality of the podcast in terms of sound, video, and other aspects add to the podcast’s popularity a lot. This is done by Young Jamie who decided to produce the popular podcast in 2012.
When Rogan’s podcast started in 2009, the comedian/podcaster/UFC commentator’s partner in crime was comedian, Brian Redban. In 2012, Young Jamie came along to co-produce the show and helped the podcast skyrocket in popularity. Rogan’s podcast is still going strong and Jamie Vernon is very much still a core part of it.
Young Jamie’s name became familiar to the fans as they picked on Rogan often saying the phrase, “Jamie pull that up” as he took his producer’s help to project more context to what he was saying on the screen. Jamie has one of the best jobs on planet Earth as he gets to watch amazing guests like Dave Chappelle, Elon Musk, Bernie Sanders, Kanye West, and others come on the show to talk for about 1-3 hours in the studio. It is at the UFC commentator’s home.
Jamie is also on Instagram. The producer often posts about his time with Rogan and pictures of him with guests that fascinate him the most. Below you can check out one of Jamie Vernon’s posts on Instagram with MMA heads Joe Rogan, Brendan Schaub, and Eddie Bravo.
The time Joe Rogan praised Young Jamie on his podcast
Though Young Jamie does not spend a lot of time in front of the cameras, Rogan never fails to show the world how much he appreciates the producer/sound engineer of his popular podcast. In an episode with Lex Fridman, Joe Rogan praised Jamie for helping him curate the podcast and also listed out the best qualities in his producer.
He's got a very little ego. He's not a guy who needs a lot of attention. He's not a guy who overestimates anything. Whether it's the good things that happen to the show, or bad things that happen to the show, he just takes it all like flat. He's chill.Joe Rogan via episode #1696 of JRE
Jamie also travels along with Rogan to some of his comedy special tapings. The producer has been at several PPV events where Rogan is commentating. The UFC commentator does not call all the events taking place in a year and usually calls only the big PPVs that happen inside of the USA.
