When Sean Strickland made eye-opening claims about Joe Rogan's relationship with JRE producer, likened UFC commentator to an "abusive father"

Sean Strickland stirred controversy in 2024 during an appearance on Theo Von’s This Past Weekend podcast, where he made surprising claims about Joe Rogan's relationship with Jamie Vernon, the long-time producer of the Joe Rogan Experience (JRE).

Reflecting on his 2023 appearance on JRE MMA Show (#143), Strickland suggested that Rogan’s interactions with Vernon appeared unusually tense:

"When I did the Rogan podcast - what's Rogan's guy? Jamie, dude - I was thrown off by Jamie. Oh man, I think Rogan abuses him, dude. I think he abuses him. I think I was picturing like a younger, white, nerdy kid. Nah, dude, he's angry. He's angry. I think Rogan disciplines him. Yeah, because you'll see it, dude, every now and then Rogan will let that s**t slip."

He added:

"Every now and then, you'll see Rogan discipline him. Like, he'll speak out of turn. Like, you could tell it's like that abusive father that, like, you know, is at the soccer game that, like, slips a little bit and you're like, 'oh s**t, I wonder what it's like when [he's] at home by himself."

Jamie Vernon joined JRE as a co-producer in 2012, eventually taking over as the primary producer when Rogan parted ways with Brian Redban the following year. Over the past decade, Vernon has become an integral part of the show, known for his quick fact-checking and behind-the-scenes management.
