What a lineup.

Brian Simpson (0:29)

Ron White.

Joe Rogan (0:30)

You, Tony Hinchcliffe.

Brian Simpson (0:31)

Tony Hinchcliffe, yeah.

Joe Rogan (0:32)

Wild lineup, wild.

Brian Simpson (0:34)

Yeah, what a fucking.

Joe Rogan (0:35)

It's a great place, man.

We were talking about this last night, the weird thing about that place is, even though, like, we talked about it for so long when we were at the Vulcan. Like, it was almost like, one day, it's all gonna happen, and kind of we hoped it happened, we were hoping it was gonna happen, but you never know until something actually happens.

Brian Simpson (0:56)

Oh, yeah, yeah, especially out here.

Joe Rogan (0:57)

But now that it actually happened, and it's been open for, like, what have you opened, like, six months now or something?

Brian Simpson (1:02)

Yeah, since April.

Joe Rogan (1:04)

Now it seems like it's always been there. Like the Overlook Hotel or some shit.

Brian Simpson (1:09)

It's, I mean, because that building, that building has a lot of, I bet you a lot of dope shit's happened in that building.

Joe Rogan (1:15)

100%.

Brian Simpson (1:18)

Like, just magical moment, like when Oliver...

Joe Rogan (1:23)

Oliver Anthony?

Brian Simpson (1:24)

Yeah, Oliver Anthony stopped in. The crowd, they was not ready for that.

SPEAKER_3 (1:27)

Yeah.

Brian Simpson (1:28)

Man, it was incredible. No one, like, because I think people now might know that they can be surprised at the mothership, but this is the first time it hasn't been a comic.

SPEAKER_3 (1:37)

Right, right, right.

Brian Simpson (1:38)

You know?

Like, he got brought up by Segura. Yeah. You know, and I don't know what they were expecting, but man.

Joe Rogan (1:44)

I wish I was there for that one. He had done the podcast that day, but I had too much shit I had to do. I had to take her off.

Brian Simpson (1:50)

No, it was incredible.

Joe Rogan (1:51)

His story's nuts.

Brian Simpson (1:53)

Yeah, and he's a genuine dude. I mean, I still don't know a lot about him, you know?

Joe Rogan (1:58)

Yeah.

Brian Simpson (1:59)

Like, you know, but he seems to just really care about people.

Joe Rogan (2:03)

He definitely does.

SPEAKER_3 (2:04)

He's a real good guy.

Joe Rogan (2:06)

And you know, now the question is, I mean, I think he's gonna hold on to it, but that's the question. Can he hold on to it? I believe he will. I think he'd be fine. He's like, fascinating story because he gave his life to God, like 30 days ago. And then two weeks later, he has the number one song in the world, like that, that he recorded off of a phone. One of his songs, the audio that's up online, I mean, it's like very highly rated song. It was number one at one point in time. It's the audio off of a video from his Android phone. So he uploads it to YouTube and then he cuts the WAV file from the YouTube video and uploaded that as a song.

No mixing, no studio. This little bitch ass microphone that you have at the bottom of your phone. And it sounds, it sounds, what is, which one song is that, Jamie?

Ain't Got a Dollar. But when you listen, can we play it? When you listen to it, it kind of adds to it.

It adds to it that it's not produced. It adds to it that it's not.

Brian Simpson (3:14)

It doesn't sound perfect.

Joe Rogan (3:15)

Yeah, I mean, it's just a dude singing a song.

Brian Simpson (4:11)

See, that's soul right there, man.

Joe Rogan (4:12)

Yeah, you can't fake that.

Brian Simpson (4:13)

And you know what, man? It feels like that in person. Like he sounds just like that in person. His live show was incredible, especially when he got to the hit, you know? Everyone knew the words, everyone lost their mind.

Yeah, it was great.

Joe Rogan (4:37)

Bro, that video, just on my Instagram, at one point, I don't know what it is now, but it was like 11 million views.

Brian Simpson (4:45)

Yeah, and he's likable for now. People love him.

Joe Rogan (4:50)

For now? Isn't it funny?

Brian Simpson (4:51)

We're so cynical.
