Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
The all New, All After Sleet, Booker and Striker Podcast,
not that it has anything at all to do with
the song. We're playing nothing zero. The Woody Show tomorrow
has a big ninety eighty seven soire announcement.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Maybe we'll just say another night out in the town.

Speaker 1 (00:19):
Maybe all right, Woody Show tomorrow morning with all the
details on that. Weok. Current Striker here' striker right there
with everything happening in the world.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
The Diddy case court case kicked off today in New
York City. Jury selection is underway. The judge said that
they're not going to sequester the jury. Once they are selected,
they can live their life and go home. Obviously, they
can't discuss the trial. The last time I look, the
jury has not been selected yet. But he's on trial
for allegedly committing a slew of crimes, racketeering, sex trafficking,

(00:48):
transportation to engage in prostitution, and of course he's accused
of forcing women to engage in freakoffs. So we're gonna
hear the word freakoff so often over however long the
trial is gonna last. Booker and I were chatting in
the other room, I said Booker. Obviously the OJ trial
was very different than this. That was murder. That trial

(01:10):
felt like it went on for two years.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
We looked it up and we learned it was eight
months long and from the beginning it was eleven months total.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
That was a lot. So is this gonna last two
weeks or six months? We have no idea.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
So the Met Gala is tonight. It's a huge night
when it comes to fashion. Just you know, in case
you were curious, Lebron James will be missing it due
to a knee insurance if you're curious, if his wife
is still gonna go, of course she's gonna go, and
she should. She sits through these boring Laker games, knocked
out of the playoffs, but he can't go. She better

(01:46):
be in the greatest outfit. I'm sure she will, and
he should be applauding her as she's getting ready.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
And as everybody knows, the Met Gala is a big
event in New York where they celebrate the New York
Mets and they serve rips. That's what happens, sir.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
It is not. It's a fashion themed event and the
theme this year is super fine tailoring Black style. The
dress code is tailored for you if there was ever
a megallip for your boys. Striker Taylor is sup for me.
I love a tight fitted, tailored suit. I don't know
if that's gonna be on the Humans tonight. Dodgers are
playing the Marlins later Today, I'm Striker and that's all.

(02:22):
I the All New All Afternoons with Booker and Striker.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
I don't think I've ever done that before. I jumped
in one verse too early. I missed one more. Sex
is a dream, whatever it is, Booker and Striker A
Clearly I'm a bit off today. I think it's from
the long weekend that we had at the Beach Festival.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
In Redondo Beach. Just a quick not even does he
have to be quick? A well organized festival with super
nice people that work at the festival, whether it's security,
a bartender, the organizers, promoters, et cetera. Is really a tree. Yeah,
that's a pleasure, and that has to come from the
top down, letting everyone that's working there. No, it's a

(03:05):
festival of nice people. You don't have to be being
to folks unless someone's acting a fool. Everyone was so nice.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
Well, I'm wondering because I get this kind of feeling
like the Beach Life Festival is something like they're like
half assed promoting because it's so cool the way that
it is. You don't want it to get any bigger.
It's so chill, but yet it's packed, everyone's behaved. It's

(03:31):
just a beach vibe.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
Hence the local feeling, local feeling, nice bands playing local bands,
a lot of local bands, good sized stages, felt crowded,
but not like you couldn't move, unbelievable food you see.
Jim Lindberg from Pennywise walking around is a big part
of the festival. His his set that he did was
on the smallest stage you could ever imagine. I love

(03:55):
that he did that, and he's like, I'm gonna play
on this little thing that's two feet off the ground.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
Very cool vibe. If you can check that out next.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
Next year, go, But we would, we would. I guess
what we're saying is help us back, please.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
Yeah, good time and going with strikers like going with
the mayor. You know everybody, I got tired of walking

Speaker 2 (04:38):
World, the real ID deadline is on Wednesday. I don't
have mine. I was supposed to get it in twenty
twenty and then the pandemic hit and I said to myself,
then I'm never gonna need this thing. Uh huh, Well
I do need it, but I do have a passport.
But a real IDEA is basically it's an enhanced driver's license.
You're gonna need it to board an airplane if you're
flying domestically, and if you don't have the real ID

(05:00):
by Wednesday again, the passport will be just fine. But yeah,
I'm saying this to me and you. At some point
over the next six months, let's just all go get
our real ID.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
Congratulations, We're all so proud. Of you lots of social
media about Green Day, Booker and Striker and the Green
Day collab with seven to eleven and the flavor, and
Trey Coole was on with Booker and Striker last week
and here's his explanation about the slurpe.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
We start with your what you do Striker, then we
go to tray.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
I always go seventy percent cherry, thirty percent cola mixed in.
Do you appreciate that concoction or does it stink?

Speaker 3 (05:42):
No, it's it's actually fine. You know. I think everyone's
slurpy is their own way. Yeah, and that was necessary
before the Plunk flavor came out because they really hadn't
nailed a perfect flavor until now.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
Did you guys sit around a taste test this or
did somebody else do it?

Speaker 2 (05:56):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (05:56):
We got jack Man with so much sugar, trying all
these things, mixing them up like you know, like a
beaker from Sesame Street, and we had little, you know,
laboratory explosions. It was very I'm almost out of wuhan
situation for a second.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
But that's not good.

Speaker 3 (06:14):
Yeah, No, we contained it, and we give you kurb Plunk.
It's a cotton candy grape best flavor ever and it
doesn't taste terrible with Captain Morgan in a view.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
Okay, KerPlunk, of course is the name of the Green
Day album from nineteen ninety two, and now it's a
slurpy flavor.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
Slurp.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
Can you imagine something you did all those years ago
comes back full circle? Right you? Slurpey, that's the coolest
Blink win Eddy two announced a second show at Acrasurre Arena. Well,

They all just got condos and houses and pun booker.
You and I discussed on the air. Do you think
the Blink show in Palm Springs is gonna sell it?

Speaker 1 (07:15):
Yeah? Quickly wondering, But I think it's a lot of
people from La saying, Hey, this is gonna be a
lot of fun. Let's make a weekend out of it,
you know, yeah, something I love it. Go that'd be fun.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
Two point five million people watched Lady Gaga in person.
It was a free show, copa cabana and a teenage
A teenager and a man were arrested a couple hours
before the show. Yeah, because of a bomb threat.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
Yeah, it was in Brazil, a couple of cabana beach.
The whole thing is wild. I'm glad they, you know, thwarted.
This could have been nasty with two and a half
million people, but looking at the highlights of this online.
Just wrap your head around two and a half million
people watching a concert.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
It's insane.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
The cover.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
So I was asked in a trivia question this weekend,
but my girlfriend Britt, how many because she's on Instagram?
How many people you think we're at the Lady Gaga
thing in Brazil? She's like the first number is it two?
I'm like two hundred and fifty thousand, right, because that
would be two hundred and fifty thousand. One hundred thousand
is the coliseum?

Speaker 1 (08:16):
Right?

Speaker 2 (08:16):
And so yeah, okay, no, two point five million. It's
a free show, isn't a booker?

Speaker 1 (08:21):
Yeah, free show that they do every year and Brazil
puts this song, They pay the artists themselves, and apparently
there's like I think it's five thousand security people they
hire for this event. And Brazil is really smart because
they figured this really up their tourism and people flock
to it for the show, and everybody looked like they
were having the best time ever.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
Okay. So, when we were at a beach Life festival
this weekend, the band Phantom Planet who sings the song California, California.
It was the theme song for the OC A hit
song then and still everybody loves the song California, right.
The band stopped by our show and they happen to
have guitars in their hands, and so one of us
said to them during the interview, take it away from here.

(12:55):
Book Yeah, I was.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
I was thinking, well, they have the guitars, could we
get like a second of that iconic introduction? Now in
my mind, I'm thinking, is that keys? They got two guitars,
And I'm thinking, I don't know, you know, but we'll ask,
We'll see what we could get. You never know.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
But here's the thing. We're set up outdoors at the beach.
It's not a music studio, and there were only enough
mics to fit around our head like we worked in
a drive through, So Booker and I had to hold
up our headset mics to their guitars while we were
wearing During live radio, while they played a snippet of

(13:36):
California and sang it and the amount of love that
we've been getting from you thanks for the dms that
hurt it live live radio, that's what this is all about.

Speaker 1 (13:45):
We had no idea how this was going to turn out.
This could have went horribly wrong. Like Striker said, we
look like helicopter pilots. We've got our headsets on with
the little microphone. I'm like leaning in to catch some
guitar noise, trying not to sing. That was the other thing,
because I was like, oh, we couldn't even breathe during this.
I couldn't anyhow.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
I was one inch away from the singers. I swear
to God, one inch away. So let's play you what
it sounded like live on the radio. From Front on the.

Speaker 1 (14:49):
Oh wow? How great was that?

Speaker 2 (14:51):
In a world in twenty twenty five where every musician
and most people online want to be perfect, these guys
showed up and said, no, one take if it sounds bad,
who cares? It's live.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
Yeah, let's just do it.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
And I cannot give the band Phantom Planet enough credit
for that.

Speaker 1 (15:08):
So then they played another song for us. It's gonna
be their next release, and they barely had it even
worked out, and we were just blown away by how
great that sounded. So they've got good new music on
the way, and they will Striker. Striker made them like,
I don't know if you wrote it in blood, but
he had this napkin. He's like, you have to promise
to bring it up, the Booker and Striker, so we
