Joe Rogan Experience #382 - Greg Fitzsimmons

Music & Dance

Joe Rogan and Greg Fitzsimmons share their bewildering experiences with Southern music and dance. They recount visiting a bar in North Carolina where patrons enthusiastically sang along to unfamiliar country songs, creating a surreal atmosphere. Greg notes how these songs, despite their regional popularity, remain unknown to outsiders, highlighting the cultural divide.

There's a bar. And they are all singing along to a song you never fucking heard in your life. It's got my dog in the porch and the house and they're singing this shit and they're going all round.

--- Joe Rogan

Joe humorously compares the cowboy attire to goth fashion, questioning the cultural norms of both groups 1.

Greg adds that these cultural quirks are akin to urban subcultures, drawing parallels between Southern country fans and goth enthusiasts.

You ain't heard of Clint Friven? No. Clint Friven. Clint friven sold 14 million albums. You're like, what? Who the fuck is Clint friven?
