#1753 - Brian Redban

Brian Redban (0:13)

Happy anniversary.

Joe Rogan (0:14)

Cheers. Cheers.

Brian Simpson was trying to explain to me that the tapping the glass on the table before you take a drink was because of the prohibition, when people had really bad alcohol, when you would tap the glass, it was bad alcohol, it would make bubbles.

Brian Redban (0:36)

I just heard it's good luck.

Joe Rogan (0:39)

But he said there's like a reason, huh, why they started doing it, this tap before you drink.

Brian Redban (0:44)

Makes sense.

Joe Rogan (0:45)

Is that real?

Jamie Vernon (0:48)

When he, I remember, when he did that, I was literally about to ask why, and he like took the words out of my mouth, but Googling that, that's not the same response I get, so.

Joe Rogan (0:56)

What, Google says it's bullshit?

Jamie Vernon (0:57)

It doesn't say it's bullshit, it's like a, it says it's a toast to the house.

I don't, that's, I don't believe that, though. Seems like someone just wrote something.

Brian Redban (1:07)

All those things, I always, you always hear those stories, and then later you Google it, you find out it's complete bullshit. There's so many things that I've always.

Joe Rogan (1:14)

There's a lot of those going around, yeah. Well, and who, maybe Google's full of shit.

How do we know?

Brian Redban (1:21)

True that.

Joe Rogan (1:21)

Dude, 12 years ago, today.

Brian Redban (1:23)

Isn't it 13?

Joe Rogan (1:24)

We started this thing. I think it's 12 2009, right?

Brian Redban (1:27)

2009

Jamie Vernon (1:29)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (1:29)

Yeah, 12

Brian Redban (1:30)

Oh, yeah, 12

Jamie Vernon (1:31)

I did that yesterday, too.

Joe Rogan (1:34)

It seems like it would be, but no.

Brian Redban (1:37)

I just rewatched a little bit of it the other day.

Joe Rogan (1:40)

So strange.

Brian Redban (1:41)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (1:41)

We're so young-faced.

Brian Redban (1:42)

I know, and skinnier.

Joe Rogan (1:47)

Both of us. 12 fucking years.

Brian Redban (1:50)

Are we recording? I think we're recording.

Jamie Vernon (1:53)

Yeah.

Brian Redban (1:54)

Oh, we should get snowflakes. We should have had snowflakes, aren't we?

Joe Rogan (1:57)

Yeah, we need snowflakes. Can you do something?

Jamie Vernon (2:00)

I did it that one time we did this, and I had to do a lot of pre-setup stuff to get it in there. Actually, I can add them when they're not live.

Joe Rogan (2:07)

We should have real snowflakes. Like have something that covers.

Jamie Vernon (2:11)

Now.

Now. It's going to be weird.

Joe Rogan (2:16)

Bizarre, right?

Brian Redban (2:16)

Yeah. So bizarre.

Would you have ever guessed that it would turn into this?

Joe Rogan (2:22)

How the fuck can I ever guess that?

Brian Redban (2:24)

My mom's now watching you for COVID news and stuff like that.

Joe Rogan (2:29)

No.

Brian Redban (2:30)

It's pretty crazy. My mom's like now a listener of yours, which she never used to be, but it started off with a guy from CNN.

Joe Rogan (2:37)

Sanjay Gupta.

Brian Redban (2:39)

She's just like, I'm so angry.

Joe Rogan (2:44)

Yeah. I think a lot of people came on board in that one. That one backfired on them. Yeah. No, there's no way I could have predicted it. How the fuck could anybody have predicted it? Like, we started off with like zero listeners and just not thinking it was going to be anything other than just fucking around.

And then somewhere along the line, it just became this.

Brian Redban (3:06)

And, you know, I always saw it in the past, like before we started this, like anytime when you did morning radio, you would always like, you know, usually as a comedian, you're in town, you would do like 10 minutes.

Joe Rogan (3:17)

Look at us.

Brian Redban (3:18)

Look at that.

I hate not having a beard. Look at that. Weak upper lip.

But like, like we'd go, usually as a comedian, you would go to a city and you'd do morning radio. Usually you'd do like a 15 minute, like plug the shows that you're in town for. You always did like three and a half hours. You did the whole show. And it was always so fun. And we always remember talked about like, you need to get a radio show.

Joe Rogan (3:44)

Yeah, but I was always like, they'll never give me a radio show.

Because then they would tell me what to do, and it would just be so censored. You know, I could do censored radio a couple days. But after a while, I'd be like, what the fuck? Why am I not talking like I normally talk? This is stupid.
