I\u2019m keeping away from everybody and testing myself and the staff everyday until we\u2019re in the clear, there\u2019s nothing we can do. I won\u2019t know when we\u2019ll do them [podcasts] again until we get a clear from the doctor. I think it\u2019s ten days and three negative test results in a row.\u201d However, it looks like fans are getting their fix anyway, as Rogan announced that the podcast with Kanye West is airing, after all.
