(00:15):
So a listener was like, youwould be You want to hear how much
I paid for to take my girlto see Tyler Childress right right? Over?
Nine hundred dollars. Oh yeah,that's ridiculous, man, there's no
way that's that's wild for two hours. That's just my wife and I have
this conversation because it's just a wildamount of money to pay for two hours
of anything. Yeah, a prostitute, that's insane, right, It's a

(00:39):
dinner that's insane. How does itmake sense for a con That's my argument
with my wife is she's like,yeah, but we get to see these
urs. I'm like, for thatmuch money, do you That's like a
third of a trip to Mexico rightright? And that's not even drink.
We're not even to drinks. It'sridiculous. Two tickets. That's for two

(01:00):
tickets. It just makes me wonder, like, who's the one responsible for
the ticket prices? Is at thevenue? Is that? The band?
Is that the promoter? Is it? You know a combination of all of
them? Who? Who? Who? I got a fucking punch in the
face to get these goddamn tickets lowered. I can't name a Tyler Childers song,

(01:21):
Oh yeah, I'm going to WhiteHouse Roads. Hold on, I
think your point is he is hea B or C in the country world
and that and that would he'll beon a poster for a concert, for
a festival, Oh yeah, forsure as the lead a headliner. Yeah,
he'd be a headliner at Born andRaised or any of the other music

(01:42):
festivals. For sure. He's hewas a nobody. Everybody was nobody at
one point in time. But he'sreally blown up over the last couple of
years. Like he was doing hewas doing and this was just like fucking
like maybe four years ago, doingthe hard rock shows, which there's nothing
wrong with hard rock shows, butyou're trying to establish yeah, exactly exactly,
and now he's fucking selling out theBok Center and fucking charging nine hundred

(02:06):
dollars for two fucking tickets. Allright, who's bigger, Jelly roll or
Tyler Tyler Childress, They're about tosay, Really, I think if I
was going to go anywhere on thatone, I'd say Jilly Rolls bigger.
And that's simply because he has twoother genres that he caters to. He
caters to the rock genre and thehip hop, rap, genre and country
music and Top forty right exactly onTop forty where Tyler Childers is strictly fucking

(02:30):
country. Yeah, and is thatall you got was Tyler Childress? Is
that? Oh? Yeah? Acouple of So I'm going to Billy Joel
in September with Sting in Saint Louis. I bought three tickets and it was
seven hundred for three tickets. Okay, So that's I think that's a different

(02:50):
show, okay. And it's differentbecause it's a destination show. He's playing
ballparks around America, right, right, there's the seating is an idea deal?
Right, You're not gonna it's notlike an arena. It's not a
very intimate show. It's a massiveshow. You'll watch most of that show
on the screen. Right. I'mnot knocking it to me, but but
I would warrant paying the thousand dollarsto see Billy Joel in the ballpark.

(03:13):
Yeah, right, that's a littlebit different. You need a legendary motherfucker
right now? Yes, yeh know, yes, paying thousands of dollars to
see how much was it again?Seven hundred dollars? Yeah, seven hundred
dollars to see Tyler Childers or anyof these other newer people. That's ridiculous,
you know, but we're talking fuckinglegendary. So I got this open.
Zach Bryant's playing the b Okay threenights in December, right, uh

(03:37):
huh, And like he's Oklahoma Cityin May, but and then Tulsa in
December, and there's good amount ofseats open for Thursday night and he's in
the round, right, And yes, great way to see a show and
to sit in the lower level,like two rows back three hundred and fifty
five dollars a ticket. Yeah,so it means we're talking seven hundred dollars

(04:00):
for my wife and I had togo to that show. Yeah, absolutely
absolutely, And I think he isa you know, I think he's awesome.
Yeah, he's not seven hundred dollarsawesome, though, I'm sure he
puts on a fine show. Yeah. That's where I like fucking music festivals
rock Oklahoma born and raised, stufflike that. Bang for your box.

(04:21):
Absolutely, Yeah, you may haveto peel off thousand dollars for two tickets,
but you're getting three days of fuckingmusic. So many bands, much
better experience. I feel as opposedto seven hundred dollars one night, one
spot, one spot. That's yourfucking scene. There's no real experience there.

(04:43):
You're just sitting there listening, inline to piss, stand in line
to get in, get freshed,right in line for cocktail or drink right,
and for that costume. Yeah,yeah, which would you rather do?
Would you rather me give you sevenhundred dollars, I'll say, you'll
say eight hundred dollars, eight hundreddollars to go see Zach Bryan. Great
seats, a little extra cash forparking, great seats, colored drinks,

(05:08):
floor like one twenty, first row, one twenty, right in front of
the stage. No one's going tobe in your way. Those are great
seats. Yes, you're gonna beable to see his facial expressions, right,
Yeah, Or me give you eighthundred dollars for you to go to
the bar and buy all your friendsdrinks and have people and party fucking be
man, Yes all day, everyday. You know you're getting way more

(05:30):
experience, making better memories. Theonly memory you're making. Yeah, you
got great seats, You got tosee a great show, but it will
always be eclipsed by fucking paid eighthundred dollars or seven hundred dollars for two
tickets. Yeah, so all thatawesomeness that you're getting right there is eclipsed
by fuck prices. Yeah. Ithink people just to go back to your

(05:55):
question about who's picking these prices.This is the big debate that is going
on with people questioning Live Nation andsome of these other companies, is who's
setting this price? Why is itcost that much money to go see Taylor
Swift or to pay three hundredty dollarsto see Zach Bryan? Who sets that?
Does Zach Bryan say set that pricepoint? I would like to think

(06:16):
he's not. I don't think hedoes, but I don't know that he
has his fee and that's his fee. And then they did my understand how
the industryer's if it's we'll just sayone thousand dollars for argument's sake to get
Zack Bryan. And then the promotergoes, well, I can charge this
much. I'll make this much perticket, got or I got to sell
this many tickets to maybe maybe they'vereinvented it. But he used to be

(06:40):
like, oh, I've got tosell half the house right in order to
turn the property just to afford thisguy and make some money. Yeah,
I get that, or have theybeen like I don't. People are going
less so as long as I sella quarter, But to do that,
the ticket price has to go up, and then there are these you know,
jackpot artists. Right. But here'sthe thing, though, I mean
and fast the case, people wouldgo more often, and go two shows

(07:03):
more often if it was affordable andI'm not talking you know, fucking ten
dollars a ticket. I mean eveneven if there's fifty dollars a ticket,
one hundred dollars a ticket. I'dmuch rather pay two hundred dollars for me
and my lady to go to aconcert and enjoy the night than fucking seven
hundred happy to go and take afucking long that they're still the shows are

(07:25):
still selling out. Yeah, peopleare still paying these prices, so they're
gonna charge They're gonna keep charging theseprices because people are paying them. So
I was just looking. You knowa aj RS the artists. They have
a couple of hit songs. Youwould know them if I played them,
but they're kind of a faceless bandthey're playing. Their tickets are like one
hundred dollars for lower level, right, Okay, that seems reasonable. Yeah,

(07:47):
it seems it's expensive. But alsoI'm okay with that. Yeah,
Nicki Minaj, same seats five hundreddollars. So what is just because it's
a bigger name you gotta pay forThat's true. Nicki Minaj is massive,
meant like a raeis. Yeah,but she's a massive for sure artist absolutely,
So that kind of makes me wonderis it just a collaboration of everybody?

(08:11):
Are the artists overreaching so far?Is trying to get as much money
as possible? Is the promoter alsoadding on top of the artist overreach because
they need to make money, andthen you know, the venue itself also
needs to make money, right,So everybody's just stacking on top of everybody.

(08:31):
And then the next thing, youknow, it's just this ridiculously outrageous
price. I don't know who itis, but I'm tired of it.
So Hosier's playing what a hoser?Right, and he's like, I think
he's had his time, yeah right, but people still love him. He
puts on a great show. Lookthe tickets are, it's pretty sold out

(08:52):
lower Bowl, but the first closestavailable tickets seventy five dollars. That's not
bad fucking reasonable, but so sookay, so economics guy who's maybe had
his moment and trying to have anotherone. Okay, Nicki Minaj red hot,
Okay, Hosier shows up with themall, people will go yeah,

(09:13):
right, Nicki Minaj goes, They'regonna have to shut them all down.
Yes, it'll be a right,I would agree. I would agree Tyler
Chill just goes to the mall,I think it'd be it would be a
lot of people would show up,might need to shut it down, right,
Zach Brian shows up, one hundredpercent right, shutting it down.
It's free either way. I thinkthey'd probably even if Tyler shows up,

(09:33):
they're going to shut it down.I don't know, because I don't think
a lot of people know what helooks like. Fucking Ginger, Yeah,
oh, fucking Ginger. Creed,here's a good this. I think this
is a good example. Creed lowerlevel, third row, left of stage
not shutting them all down. Twohundred and ninety five dollars. I think

(09:54):
they would do pretty good. Doyou think so? Yeah? Okay,
I think yeah. Not that theywould walk through the mall. But let's
just say they're gonna do it ifthey you said free. This is my
argument with people like videos. I'mlike, bitch, if I gave away
tool tickets, all right, yougo, you do lose your goddamn mind,
right, And people would do thatanyway for any free tickets just because

(10:18):
it's free. You know, Idon't want to see Todd Runggren, but
I mean I've got free tickets soI can listen to the one song,
right whatever. Yeah, Pumpkins,it's just billy right now, the original
members. People still ship their pantsabout that one. Yeah, people still

(10:39):
ship their pants over Pumpkins. Idon't think they ship their pants. Maybe
it's just the people of mine nineinch nails. I'll stay in the genre.
Nine inch Nails. People still shah, but they don't play that often.
Pumpkins don't put on a good show, right, they just don't.
I would agree, But people stillget excited and ship their pants. They're
like, oh my god. Thinkso maybe, like I said, maybe

(11:01):
it's just my circle of people thatare, you know, still in the
interest. Did tell me about it? Green Day? That is one I'll
buy, right, Like I get, people lose their mind over that.
But that show is like, eh, I was trying to see. I
was gonna go down to see theshow that's in Dallas Arlington, sorry,

(11:24):
right, Global Life Field, Yeah, eleven gonna be that's a massive show.
It's kind of like the show thatLindsay's talking about. I mean the
stage is in you know, abouthalfway into center field. So if you're
sitting in a great seat behind homeplate, yeah, eighty five dollars because
you're not gonna be able to seeanything, right, you're watching that show

(11:46):
on the screen, right. Pittickets one hundred and fifty five bucks even
that sorry sorry, on the grassone hundred and fifty five pit tickets around
the runway and twenty nine more likeit. That's more like it. I
was gonna say, one hundred andfifty bucks for fucking pit tickets to Green
Day. Hell yeah, no,yeah, I can't do it. I

(12:11):
just find myself equating experiences comparing costexperiences, and maybe I've just seen too
many concerts and that's the problem.I'm just so done with it. Maybe
so, But it's gotta be worthit. It's gotta be somebody I really
want to see. I just lookat the fucking dollar, even even if
it's somebody I really really really reallywanted to see. If it's gonna cost
me seven hundred bucks for two tickets, I ain't fucking doing it. That's

(12:35):
fucking that's most my rent, andI'm not gonna go and throw myself in
debt for a night of fun,you know, fun with the question mark
at the end. I'd rather goto the bar and buy a few rounds
and you know, you can liston the Absolutely we'll have our own goddamn
Green Day concert or whatever the caseis. Yeah, piss everybody off,

(13:00):
load up the touch tunes, nothingbut Green Day for the next three hours.
You're welcome. Yeah. I wastrying to see looking at tickets at
the Canes because maybe it's just ayeah, maybe it's just has to be
the you know, because it's sucha big venue. Okay, you think
you got to pay that much,okay to see a show. That's fair.
Now, some of the shows thatcome to the Canes are a lot
of up and comers or whatever.Right, they're not huge artists like that.

(13:26):
They start off at the Canes,but then they end up at the
fucking b Okay Center. Yeah,I've seen so many artists progress that way.
Starts with the Canes, then goesto the Tulsa Theater, to the
Brady or whatever, and after theBrady maybe a casino or something to that
effect. But after the casino,you know, boom b Okay Center,

(13:46):
and that's where they're you know,they're they're big time. Then Aaron Watson
playing the Canes Okay up and comerin the Country World twenty five bucks.
Yeah, Brittany Howard establish Alabama Shakesdoing her solo fifty six bucks. But
if it was Alabama Shakes, they'dbe at the bok Center. Your tickets
would contion three hundred dollars piece.But like we learned too, when a

(14:09):
show is at the bok Center,if you go directly to the box office
and buy your tickets, it isless expensive, right because you're not paying
for all the fees exactly. Andthat's another thing. You got the you
got the venues charging, you gotthe artist charge, and you got the
promoter charging, and then you gotthe people who are like, hey,
we'll sell your fucking tickets, butwhat's gonna cost you, you know?
And so that's laziness right there,fucking capitalizing on laziness because oh well,

(14:33):
I can just go to a website. I don't have to wait in line.
I don't have to camp out inline anymore. When these tickets go
on sale. Yeah, yeah,I'm trying to look because Morgan Wade's playing
that show sold out. Morgan Wade'sawesome. Guess she's awesome, great,
and like a good human being too. If you listen to interviews with her,
you're like, you're pretty cool her. So I can't see the exact

(14:56):
but it's it has sold out fortyfive dollars for best. It's in at
Fort in Fort Smith. That's notbad, That's what I'm saying, And
maybe that's what it is too,Like I think i'd rather see an up
and comer in a small venue.I like a rent of shows, but
I'm just not paying that price,right, it's fucking ridiculous, That's damned
ridiculous. But if they happen tohave tickets here and a drawer at work,

(15:18):
then Brady, that's a good onetoo. So Morgan, first of
all, Zach Bryant, I'm going, right, if I'm offered free tickets,
I'm going, even if it's theThursday show. I'm in Yeah.
Oh yeah, yeah, I'm going. If it's Morgan Wade, yeah,

(15:41):
I might go. Offering free ticketsfrom here, I would go one hundred
because I like her music that much. I like her music. That's one
that I might even uh go outon a school night for, you know,
which I think you know, atleast for us. Anyway, it
says a lot. It says alot for that artist. I love Alabama
Sha. It's one of my favoritebands of all time. I would easily

(16:03):
put them in my top twenty.I wouldn't go see Brittney Howard on a
school night, not by yourself.I don't even know if i'd go during
the weekend, not by yourself.But if it was Alabama Shake, she'd
be in it. Yeah, Butthat's not what we're talking about it exactly.
It is different, exactly now.I'd go see fucking Soli Erna and
some solo shit. But that's justbecause I got a huge man crush on
Soli and I'm a huge fan ofGodsmack and everything that he does. He's

(16:25):
fucking shit's gold. You know,that's just my opinion. I just wake
up in the morning, I pissexcellent. You know, I'm the greatest
thing that's ever been around. Watchthe other day. It's a great movie.
My wife and I joke about this, and because it's the podcast,

(16:47):
we can bring it up. Doyou think, lindsay, men naked from
the torso down you only see theirtorso right? Could you pick out your
husband's penis? Yes? Do youthink women torso down? Do you think
he could pick out your vagina?Yes? I don't think so. I
think it could. I think short. Now you have to subtract a distinct

(17:11):
feature freckle right, something to thatdegree, right right, right, right,
right, Oh, there's a freckleon the left labia or whatever,
right mole or some crazy right right. You have to put that out obviously,
you know, right right right.Get the hrpie stores cleared up all
this. Yes, I don't.I don't think. I don't think you
could. They're they're like snowflakes,man. They all look different. Waiters

(17:36):
and be jeans, they are alldifferent. They they got the same basic
shape, but when it comes downto it, mol or no mole,
there's subtle differences on erences. Youplayed the memory game right, yea where
you put the cards down, youflip one over and you flip another,
and you gotta find the match right. The part of the problem with that,
the challenge of that game is it'sdisorienting because there are so many,

(17:59):
right, And I think when youstart putting ten vaginas or ten dicks,
yeah, you go, well,you would go, well, that one's
it, and then you would go, whoa shit, m hm, shit,
it might be that one, andthen the pressure of like, shit,
I gotta get this right right right. If there's an actual, real
legit game, there might be alittle bit of a challenge to it.

(18:19):
But I think it could be done. Breast. I'll go with breast.
I think you might be because Ithink there's some more discerning features right,
right, but how often you maygive fillatio in some regards, but you
ultimately aren't looking at it like menlook at breasts. I look at my
I don't stare deep into the abyss. You don't. No, I might

(18:45):
be working, but I'm not takingeye inventory, you know what I'm saying.
It's just me. I'm a gazer, man, I fucking sit there
and stare at that some bitch allday long, working, not working whatever.
Absolutely, it's a little awkward tostand and stare even when it's yours.
It's is that though, right?Sure? But I mean you're friends

(19:08):
with it, like you Yes,Yes, that's my pal mega. We
get close, very intimate. Yes, yeah, I'm not saying you don't
know. I'm just saying it isn'tthe same as like staring at someone's face
or staring at someone's breast, right. But I mean I'm not the one

(19:30):
that man escapes for him, sobut I would know he has somebody to
do that for him. No,he does it. But I'm just saying,
like I I would know because againI'm friends with it. Have everybody
shaves the exact same right? Right? Right? They all got strip or
whatever it is. Yes, theyall have a heart, yes, the

(19:52):
triangle heart. Yeah, one ofthose weird uh haircuts from the Hunger Games.
Whatever. I still think you putI think I think you could.
I think you could, you know, because you're getting so close to it
and so intimate with it. Youknow, it's it's your best friends.
You don't like to think, andI think it would be. I think
it would be more difficult if itwere like pictures flipped over like polaroids.

(20:15):
I think that would be more difficultthan seeing them up close in a lineup
live versus pictures. Pictures would bemore difficult. Yeah, and there's no
way to test this. I'm notgonna, you know, ask your husband
to take a picture of this dick, and they will find six others print
them out on cards and then itbecomes a thing and I explain to corporate
why we're printing picture of cocks.Sam sign a fucking waiver, man,

(20:40):
It's all good. Waivers picks everything. It's like feet, like some people
think short of a specific discerning feature, they do this thing online. A
couple of sites do it where they'relike, oh, what celebrities feet are
these right? And you're like,oh shit, right, belly buttons stuff
like that. You're like a fuckhairlines or what the Yeah? Yeah?

(21:03):
You might own a what color isyour car? Silver? Yeah, a
silver car? But you how manytimes have you walked up to another silver
of that same model and make andyou go, oh and you see that
car all the time. Well,it depends on how much you've been drinking
too. That makes a huge difference. You walk down in the parking lote
and there's like four fucking silver carsand you're like, oh, yeah,
we're talking sober, which one I'mgonna yeah, we're talking sober. Yeah,

(21:27):
right, So that's why that's partof my argument of why I think
you ain't gonna tell your man's cockfrom six other stranger cocks. And obviously
again you like, it wouldn't belike your husband's your husband's dick and then
like an Asian dick, right,and I'm you know, an African American

(21:48):
cock. It isn't like that cleardifferences, right, yeah. And it
isn't like you know, you know, a Hope solo and then you right
fucking Lasagnia turned on its side.Yeah, somebody's chewed up gum. It
isn't that they all look very similar. That's my girlfriend right here. That's

(22:11):
actually a beef and cheddar from armisa hot pocket exploded. That's probably more
Sorry, babe, sorry, rightright, you do not. That's the
other thing. Right, you're ona date, maybe you haven't gotten too
intimate with the girl you're with,and you're watching something or somebody tells about

(22:33):
some stripper's birthday, and you canget someone going, look that goddamn nipples.
They're like, oh shit, mynipples look like someone was smacking in
between cinder blocks. Maybe you won'twant to fix it, but it's okay.
I'll still look anyway. I'll makefun of them. And she's like,
hey, I'm having surgery, Like, oh, what's happening. I'm

(22:56):
having plastic surgery? Oh wow,oh what we're getting a little uh,
you know, retightening. What arewe doing? My nipples? They looked
like they were stepped on by anelephant. Okay, well, all right,
then the man I was with beforereally gave him working. Let me

(23:18):
let me let me see real quick, let me see what we're working with
here. If you all be thejudge of that, how about this scenario,
gimpee, you're dating a girl nokids, huh. You know she's
dated other men. Let's just sayan NBA player and she's like, oh,
I'm having plastic surgery and you go, oh what for? And she's
like, oh, I've got toget a tightening because because I was uh

(23:47):
I was with Serge Ibaka for acouple of years. Yeah, that was
with the m v P. Rightright, Well, I mean all right,
cool, what's the healing on that? When are you going to do
that? Probs? Oh you're doingthat tomorrow. Okay, I'll be right
here to help you and hold yourhand all the way through. It's some
other man. Yeah, well youknow took a wrecking ball. Yeah,

(24:12):
and then hopefully I can you know. Or they pulled a chain through it
and put a tire on it andpull the chain. Thrill, right,
pull the tire through to clear itout? Right? Is that an NBA
Championship ring? They just pulled it? Says my keys right here? Yeah
