(01:14):
First ever interview done with aka BK it exists. It's there
So we don't care what she says, you know
As we further entrench ourselves even though we are technically not part of the music industry because I don't hold a fucking job in the
music industry, but as I continue to observe things as a
pseudo journalist
(01:38):
Longtime hater
It the things that we talked about in the past episode with the Maria's yeah, I think also apply here
And I'll explain what that means
Shortly before we get to the before we get to the promotions
No, well, I guess let's get the promotions out of the way

Yeah, we sure as fuck don't want that
so go to substack comm forward slash at all gas no trash official and
And really don't even bother leaving comments on his articles. He hates that shit
(02:41):
Doesn't want any interaction with the audience. In fact Adam hates people. Yeah true
On the contrary of what everything I just said
the number of views
For the article wrote about the 12 elements of Miyamoto Musashi
Napsake
Miyamoto Musatom. Yeah, dude, it continues to fucking climb
(03:03):
So whether you listened or read it because of the fact we told you about it or you just found it on your own
Man, thanks for fucking thanks for making it not die. I posted it on the weekend. I didn't really expect all that much and
For the first three days it just it was not doing that well and then for some reason it just started
(03:27):
Rocketing up anyways, so yeah
It was because people listened to our all of our episodes and started fucking listening because I plugged it in
It was the one you keep telling yourself that no I'm telling you that no
No, I believe it. I don't know keep telling I need to keep telling you that until you believe it
No, right. No as a matter of fact, you are gonna go leave a comment on his article. Tell him
Josh sent you just say that go ahead and do that and yeah, we'll see if that actually applies
(03:51):
Anyways, yeah anyways, so we're getting to the aka BK
Show yes, correct. All right, so I don't really know where to start, but I will say driving to LA, man
I didn't even get to the parts that are burned and like the air quality is fucking shit, dude
Yeah, it's ass. It's utter dogshit. So anyways, I get to the show and
(04:15):
I
Enter and the first artist actually before even that I actually met aka BK and her producer
Kayla Caleb Waterman, but I didn't even bother saying that you know, I'm from I'm from game rage magazine. We're the assholes. They interviewed you
No, no, I I was like I'm gonna be discreet about this because I don't want this to ruin my chances of like letting letting myself
(04:38):
Record okay said like I just wanted to be discreet
So I got her autograph and I got her producers autograph
I just told him like hey you guys are doing some great shit and you personally like you
Caleb Waterman the producer like I seen the shit you've done
you're working with great artists, and I think you got another great artist here definitely and
(04:59):
He was very polite and everything man. Maybe it is a good thing that I didn't go with you because I would have been like
Hey, you remember us
Fucking we talked on the wall ago. You remember like it's in the summer
You guys remember hey, can we get backstage like
You know, I've been doing all kinds of bullshit like that cuz I'm an asshole. Yeah
Uh, so dude, oh my god the first artist that went on what?
(05:22):
So the lights were dimmed and everything and this dude hops on stage. He's like man. I
Don't know if I have everything I need
Like something to that effect. He said he didn't have everything he needed needed to perform and
It was the most asinine fucking show or rather set that I've ever fucking seen
He was playing acoustic guitar and he had his buddy up there and they were seeing I don't know if this was
(05:47):
Like shock and awe or what the fuck this was
But at some point he started singing like a little girl
And then he he's like he obviously saw it was going not as well as he had hoped
And he's like, oh, I don't know how to kill time in between like songs of hey
(06:11):
Said that yeah, he's like, oh, uh, oh no. He's like, hey, you look guilty. He pointed at me. Yeah, he's like
Are the Kings playing right now? He's like your your jersey. I like your jersey
Are the Kings oh my yes is hockey season in right now. I'm like, yes
(06:32):
See maybe I should have went because then I would have been like hey, you know, yeah you kill time listen to pretty alright podcasts
I'm gonna be back. That's what I would have been yelling dude, and then he's like, maybe we could go to a game together
I'm like, baby
You got a date with the dude now after this like and now I'm in a committed gay relationship with yeah
(06:53):
Right, I don't know how many songs afterward he fucking got up and he started doing downward dog and pray
Yeah, he's trying to do it
Oh
Man and then he went out
so the song he played some song that was a backing track and
Then it got aggressive and then he started mosh pitting but there was like three people much
(07:18):
I had no idea what the fuck I was watching and then he gets back on stage like dude, I'm out of breath
He's like I need to do car
So it was like just funniest everyone I think I can't tell I
Couldn't tell if people were like buying what he was putting down like yeah
Like if this is a fucking gimmick or or is this like really this dude being crazy
(07:39):
Yeah, and it kind of it took me out of this whatever the fuck this was on my dude
obviously whoever comes after this is gonna be a
Thousand times a thousand times better, but it also says a lot that this is the first person that performs and
And it's dog shit. Like what does that say about the rest of the fucking night? Do you think that was on purpose?
(08:03):
Well, I don't know other people look so good
Oh, I don't know in comparison like because if you got it's like a showcase for like industry people too, right?
Well, I don't see I don't know about that because we're talking like if you listen to the last episode of us talking about
The three co-founders of makeup music two of them having worked in A&R and shit and one of them working at
(08:24):
at Microsoft in the Xbox division like Xbox live
So this is like a guy there's a tech bro and two A&R dudes
that own this space or lease this space, right and the space itself is like it's not even that big and
Okay, I don't know how to word this and I mean this like
(08:45):
How do I how do I phrase this without being offensive even though I am probably gonna end up being offensive
I don't like when places try to pass themselves as a music venue when it clearly isn't
And they think that throwing up speakers and doing all this bullshit like it just makes it like a thing and
again, I do
(09:05):
believe that these three guys going out of their way to try to make something happen so that they can
Make it happen on their own terms to showcase ours and do shit like that. Yeah, but this is obviously not a professional grade space
Right there
So you kind of have to take it for what it is
But anyways getting back to getting get getting back to this guy who performed
(09:30):
Dude at the very end of the set it was very fucking confusing
but he was holding his hands up like he was praying and shit and
He walks over to this dude and he has a water bottle. I don't know if this dude was in the fucking act or not
but this the the artist started pouring water into each hand of
the guy that was in the crowd and
(09:52):
Then he touches his forehead and the dude falls fucking back and he just passes out and then the artist walks off
I had no idea what the fuck that was about dude. What will happen to the guy that passed out?
He got up. Did anybody check on him or like they just left him there
Fuck this dude
(10:12):
What if this fucking guy who came on was actually like a wizard or some shit who the fuck knows but in
Any case one of the people I was in the crowd walked up to the dude that passed out
Yeah, he's like, are were you in on that and he's like, I don't know
And they didn't fucking answer the question, but I
What an asshole that means you were in I should've been like no. Yeah, but in any case I passed out that guy
(10:35):
He did something to me
What I had no idea that was how the night started. I'm like, dude, this is not gonna be fun. Like what are you talking about?
That's awesome. That's a great way to fucking start the night
That means you're gonna see some interesting shit this evening because I couldn't tell if it was a joke or not doesn't matter
That's still hilarious either way. All right, that's excellent. Oh, man. All right
So this is where we're getting into the conspiracy shit. Okay, here we go
(10:59):
Okay
So there is this artist that I follow and I don't know if I missed this on the bill or she was just added at
The last minute or maybe I have dyslexia and maybe I didn't I didn't read her name right that makes sense you do
So this artist named Shalala
(11:21):
She performed she was the next person up. Okay, and
I
Know her
Music because I found it a couple months ago
And I also know that she performed with another showcase and it's called the brand
The promotion is called we found new music and I know this
(11:44):
because of some other
Prior experiences or other knowledge that the person that runs we found new music
Runs a radio program on eighty eight point five so cal sound so that's like a that's like a
KCRW like NPR type of station like like a college run
radio station
(12:06):
So this guy that does this program has a has a showcase at this place called Barlu bitch
But he's also like a casting director for fucking America's Got Talent. Hmm. That's a that's a juicy position right there. So
This girl Shalala performed at that prior to this thing
(12:27):
So she's been showcased at two different things that have people that are in the music industry
That do either A&R or are some
Involved in some capacity in the music industry. Like do you see you see what I'm okay? Oh, okay
Well, does she like headline this one right? No, no, she wasn't she wasn't headlining
But she was the second second to like the coat like the second main event like the no she was like
(12:52):
Closer more to the how many opening how many motherfuckers there was for four bands. So a KBK was third
Okay, which is interesting in itself because she's never performed before but she's in the middle of the top middle
Yeah, yeah
But anyways getting back to this Shalala girl
as I was saying before
(13:13):
That to me indicates that like when you're in the music industry
You're trying to showcase your artists in all these little hot spots to like it's like tinder to a fire, right?
You're trying to jumpstart her popularity. So let me put her in all these showcases where
All these people that are music industry nerds or whatever the fuck
Let me showcase them to to them and
(13:36):
They'll help her jumpstart her career or if they see value in your music
They're gonna try to you know, do something with her
But just the fact that she's done these two alone is very fucking interesting. It is very interesting. Yeah, very curious
All right, so this is where it gets disappointing, okay, so we get the pointing on now
(13:59):
So this girl with Shalala, I think is uh, yeah, how'd that go? So in relation to her?
She actually performed really well and this was a coupled with the fact that
Her
The person that was DJing who I think it was Jeffrey by water. I don't know how but the tracks ended up being sped up
So like the girl
(14:21):
Couldn't she had a wait around for her songs to like
To to go at the normal bpm's
That they're supposed to be at okay, but he the guy that was DJ didn't know how to fucking do that
So like somebody else in the fucking crowd got involved and and fixed their problem
But just some asshole in the audience
Yeah, I think yeah some asshole in the audience like went to the DJ decks and and fixed that problem
(14:47):
So then her her songs or the backing tracks went at the normal speed that they should have gone
So that was a problem, but she had like a lot of poise and I kind of respected the fact that she didn't like
Turn this into like a disaster or anything like that. Yeah, but meanwhile her manager was like, oh, yeah
Fuck yeah. She lay lay, you know whistling and hollering and try to get the crowd into it
I'm like damn dude. So this is how the music industry works, man
(15:09):
It's like convincing everybody else somebody else is important like damn. Yeah, that's kind of what it is. Yeah, so anyways
we get to
Akbk herself and I hate to fucking say it man this thing
Uh, it didn't go as well as I wanted to
Oh damn it now i'm not saying it's because she sucks or anything. It's because was it like technical errors
(15:33):
It was it wasn't technical errors. It was the fact that this place as I said before it's not like a professional grade
Thing. Yeah, so it sucks. So it kind of sucks
So like I feel like the sound was bouncing off the walls and yeah the the instruments were playing
But it was kind of like muddled so I couldn't really hear it
Everything and I couldn't hear her fucking vocals at all dude. Oh man
(15:56):
So I really didn't get a good impression of like who akbk is
As a performer other than like she's very charismatic. She's very animated and she knows how to engage the crowd. But as far as like
Her voice and singing I I really couldn't piece together
What the fuck was going on like?
(16:17):
It kind of it was a real fucking letdown. I have to say damn that sucks
Yeah, so I need to go out and see her again to to know what she actually sounds like
Do you think that she'll be doing another one anytime soon?
Yes, I mean she has to she's gonna get the ball rolling on this shit, but also
There was a number of people in there was a number of people in the audience that were marking out for her that I imagine were
(16:41):
Musicians and also friends of hers, but there was a lot of people that were marking out for her
But there was a lot of people in general that were there to see her that weren't her friends. I'm like what the fuck dude like this girl
barely started playing
live just
This at this show first first time and she already has a lot of people like already singing her songs
(17:05):
Like what the fuck dude? I don't know. I'm just saying that if things go the way they
Probably should or if they might uh, she's gonna blow up. Yeah, and you know we were right there
We were there before no we were there day negative five. Okay. Yeah
That's that's interesting. So what do you think the
(17:27):
Schedule she's gonna need to be on like the pace of doing shows that she gonna need to go out every week
And do shit around there to try to like get the word out or like I just like a monthly deal. Well, I mean
I don't know what's gonna happen from here because like if if she does more professional shit like more professional shows
obviously like when you sign a contract with a
Talent buyer or whatever. It's like a 30 day 30 day or 30 mile radius clause. So you can't play anywhere
(17:53):
Oh
In a 30 mile proximity, right? Unless it's one of their well, do you think they made her do that?
No, no, cuz I think this is like small enough that that's not even an issue. But yeah
But just the idea
of having to play like most artists I think play once a month because
Maybe some of the contracts they sign
(18:14):
Give that stipulation that they have to play like further away
So it's they're not taking away ticket sales from that show versus like
You know the other gig. Yeah
But I don't know how this is gonna work like I think she's gonna play smaller
shows again and like showcases and shit, but
(18:34):
It has to be on like a monthly basis because she kind of needs to be consistent about doing all this shit
But just the fact that
Out of the gate there was a number of people watching her
I mean, dude, what does that say for her?
Like when she actually gets the ball rolling and starts performing like are more people gonna fucking show up even though
She hasn't really fucking performed. I don't fucking know
(18:55):
Yeah, maybe
I don't know. I guess we'll have to see
Where it's gonna go who is the who is the headliner for this?
One or whatever some band called sugar pit, but I didn't stick around for that. I just left
I fucked off because I was so bad dude. I was like fuck dude
I came out for this fucking shit, and I didn't even get what I want
I got the video like I got the video, but it doesn't even sound or look good
(19:15):
So do you think that other you think that turns people off?
What do you mean?
Okay, so like when they when when someone comes out and does a performance like this right because maybe it's not their own fault
Maybe it's the
Acoustics, maybe it's the fucking you know speaker system. I don't know whatever
Yeah, but when that shit happens, you think it turns people off like or apparently it didn't because a lot of people were engaged
and happy to be there and singing her songs and shit, but
(19:38):
She there was an opera there was a window of me being able to say something because she's like are you she said
Do you guys hear feedback coming through?
Speakers or like can you guys hear me and I fucking didn't say anything and I should have said I can't hear your voice dude
Can't fucking hear your voice and I missed my opportunity
And therefore I kind of ruined the whole fucking set. So in summary
(20:02):
This was a complete fucking waste of time
I didn't get what I wanted. I did find out information
That was interesting particularly that chilele girl
Being showcased at different music industry people's
own promotions
that
(20:23):
That's how it works man. Is that
You know somebody who knows somebody that that knows somebody that puts fucking things together and you
That's how that's how that shit works
Yeah
Oh shit, why is it playing that?
anyways
That's very interesting
It is the point to hear that didn't get didn't seemingly go
(20:45):
Well in that instance or that regard but and uh, I wanted to write a fucking article about this like a recap of the night
but
I can't really hear what I wanted to say
I can't write anything fucking nice
So I don't even really want to bother making a fuck. I had to write something else because
there's nothing to say about akbk because there was nothing to
(21:06):
report on because of like the
The equipment was shitty or whatever the case was or the mixing was ass or whatever the fuck it was or the venue was shitty
But there's nothing to i'm talking about it here, but I don't know how to rationalize that putting into an article
I think you should you should do an article just talking about that fucking guy
Uh, who was who was the first act? Well, did he have a name? Did you get it? Exume ex? Um?
(21:31):
Ex um, yeah denzel washington looking motherfucker
Ex um, I just want to look at see if you can find them exume
uh artist whoops
Is a black dude artist. I don't know. I can't even find nothing came up exume anton exume
uh
This guy
(21:51):
Yeah, that's him. Okay. All right. Let me just see. He's got his own wikipedia page. God damn. He's fucking
Oh, no, wait, that's not it. That's wait
Linktree
Egg zoom god is that his fuck? Wait, wait, wait, it's that it's this guy. Yeah, he played in the nfl
He played in the nfl. Oh, no wonder he looked all chiseled and shit, dude
(22:12):
Yeah, he was a fucking safety for the 40 fucking niners. No way. Yeah
He was a musician in former american football safety
He played college football virginia tech and was selected by the minnesota vikings in the sixth round of the nfl draft in 2014
Oh damn, you should have played you should have stuck the foot. Yeah, he played uh, 2014
To 17 in the vikings in 2017 to 2019 for the niners and then left
(22:35):
Music career after an injury ended his 2016 season with the vikings exume started recording songs
He began collaborating with a norwegian producer eric samkoff in 2018. It's described as surreal pop
His track arrest the dancer just debuted on the matt wilkinson show. What the fuck?
Wait, he's he was saying that he couldn't afford to pay for other
(22:59):
He couldn't afford to pay for other uh, like a live band to perform with him
Like how is that possible? I mean, let's look up his contract. See how much money he made when he's
In the nfl and then we'll fucking be able to know if that was a lie or not
Well shit, I mean if he was smart about he would save money, right? Like I mean if l
Contra, I don't know. I don't know. Maybe i'm maybe i'm being too presumptuous
(23:19):
Um, I mean it looks like he made link bam. Um, basically the entire fucking time, but okay, look at that
Yeah, well back then it was a little lower but uh, but I mean career earnings he made 3.5 million dollars
So I mean you figure half of that goes to fucking taxes and your agent and whatever shit you got
So you got 1.5. So you walked away with 1.5 million dollars. That's not bad. And that's uh, that's not even
(23:41):
That's not really including. I mean whatever signing bernice bonus you would have got like yeah cash paid season history dead money
Yeah, I don't know. No wonder he fucking looked jacked as fuck
Yep, fucking let's see stats. He probably sucked. Let's see. Oh shit. Look at that 2014. He played 15 games
(24:02):
Fucking he took 1.5 snaps on defense. Jesus christ. He was a fucking safety
And he fucking was on the special teams half the 54 percent of the snaps on special teams. That's terrible
Yep, only played seven games 2019 and they told him to fuck straight off
49ers told me get fucked
Damn 1.4 percent of the staff. That's crazy
(24:23):
Anyways, sucks for that guy. Damn. That would have been a good dude to interview too
Former NFL player fucking now he's in music and be like what the fuck is going on?
Music and be like what the fuck are you doing? Like, okay, so I he he does this legit
I thought it was just like uh, I thought it was just a thing
I thought it was just a thing to warm up the crowd. Oh, no. Yeah, whether he was good or not was irrelevant
(24:44):
It was just like oh, let me do this whole fucking thing
to get people
You know to wake them up and shit
And it's it's fucking real like it's that's him. Yeah. All right. You gotta see if we can get this interview with this guy
It's fun. Oh, dude. Yeah, you're like, hey man. You remember me the la king's guy in the audience of that crowd

So the lights were dimmed and everything and this dude hops on stage. He's like man. I
Don't know if I have everything I need
Like something to that effect. He said he didn't have everything he needed needed to perform and
It was the most asinine fucking show or rather set that I've ever fucking seen
He was playing acoustic guitar and he had his buddy up there and they were seeing I don't know if this was
(05:47):
Like shock and awe or what the fuck this was
But at some point he started singing like a little girl
And then he he's like he obviously saw it was going not as well as he had hoped
And he's like, oh, I don't know how to kill time in between like songs of hey
(06:11):
Said that yeah, he's like, oh, uh, oh no. He's like, hey, you look guilty. He pointed at me. Yeah, he's like
Are the Kings playing right now? He's like your your jersey. I like your jersey
Are the Kings oh my yes is hockey season in right now. I'm like, yes
(06:32):
See maybe I should have went because then I would have been like hey, you know, yeah you kill time listen to pretty alright podcasts
I'm gonna be back. That's what I would have been yelling dude, and then he's like, maybe we could go to a game together
I'm like, baby
You got a date with the dude now after this like and now I'm in a committed gay relationship with yeah
(06:53):
Right, I don't know how many songs afterward he fucking got up and he started doing downward dog and pray
Yeah, he's trying to do it
Oh
Man and then he went out
so the song he played some song that was a backing track and
Then it got aggressive and then he started mosh pitting but there was like three people much
(07:18):
I had no idea what the fuck I was watching and then he gets back on stage like dude, I'm out of breath
He's like I need to do car
So it was like just funniest everyone I think I can't tell I
Couldn't tell if people were like buying what he was putting down like yeah
Like if this is a fucking gimmick or or is this like really this dude being crazy
(07:39):
Yeah, and it kind of it took me out of this whatever the fuck this was on my dude
obviously whoever comes after this is gonna be a
Thousand times a thousand times better, but it also says a lot that this is the first person that performs and
And it's dog shit. Like what does that say about the rest of the fucking night? Do you think that was on purpose?
(08:03):
Well, I don't know other people look so good
Oh, I don't know in comparison like because if you got it's like a showcase for like industry people too, right?
Well, I don't see I don't know about that because we're talking like if you listen to the last episode of us talking about
The three co-founders of makeup music two of them having worked in A&R and shit and one of them working at
(08:24):
at Microsoft in the Xbox division like Xbox live
So this is like a guy there's a tech bro and two A&R dudes
that own this space or lease this space, right and the space itself is like it's not even that big and
Okay, I don't know how to word this and I mean this like
(08:45):
How do I how do I phrase this without being offensive even though I am probably gonna end up being offensive
I don't like when places try to pass themselves as a music venue when it clearly isn't
And they think that throwing up speakers and doing all this bullshit like it just makes it like a thing and
again, I do
(09:05):
believe that these three guys going out of their way to try to make something happen so that they can
Make it happen on their own terms to showcase ours and do shit like that. Yeah, but this is obviously not a professional grade space
Right there
So you kind of have to take it for what it is
But anyways getting back to getting get getting back to this guy who performed
(09:30):
Dude at the very end of the set it was very fucking confusing
but he was holding his hands up like he was praying and shit and
He walks over to this dude and he has a water bottle. I don't know if this dude was in the fucking act or not
but this the the artist started pouring water into each hand of
the guy that was in the crowd and
(09:52):
Then he touches his forehead and the dude falls fucking back and he just passes out and then the artist walks off
I had no idea what the fuck that was about dude. What will happen to the guy that passed out?
He got up. Did anybody check on him or like they just left him there
Fuck this dude
(10:12):
What if this fucking guy who came on was actually like a wizard or some shit who the fuck knows but in
Any case one of the people I was in the crowd walked up to the dude that passed out
Yeah, he's like, are were you in on that and he's like, I don't know
And they didn't fucking answer the question, but I
What an asshole that means you were in I should've been like no. Yeah, but in any case I passed out that guy
(10:35):
He did something to me
What I had no idea that was how the night started. I'm like, dude, this is not gonna be fun. Like what are you talking about?
That's awesome. That's a great way to fucking start the night
That means you're gonna see some interesting shit this evening because I couldn't tell if it was a joke or not doesn't matter
That's still hilarious either way. All right, that's excellent. Oh, man. All right
So this is where we're getting into the conspiracy shit. Okay, here we go
(10:59):
Okay
So there is this artist that I follow and I don't know if I missed this on the bill or she was just added at
The last minute or maybe I have dyslexia and maybe I didn't I didn't read her name right that makes sense you do
So this artist named Shalala
(11:21):
She performed she was the next person up. Okay, and
I
Know her
Music because I found it a couple months ago
And I also know that she performed with another showcase and it's called the brand
The promotion is called we found new music and I know this
(11:44):
because of some other
Prior experiences or other knowledge that the person that runs we found new music
Runs a radio program on eighty eight point five so cal sound so that's like a that's like a
KCRW like NPR type of station like like a college run
radio station
(12:06):
So this guy that does this program has a has a showcase at this place called Barlu bitch
But he's also like a casting director for fucking America's Got Talent. Hmm. That's a that's a juicy position right there. So
This girl Shalala performed at that prior to this thing
(12:27):
So she's been showcased at two different things that have people that are in the music industry
That do either A&R or are some
Involved in some capacity in the music industry. Like do you see you see what I'm okay? Oh, okay
Well, does she like headline this one right? No, no, she wasn't she wasn't headlining
But she was the second second to like the coat like the second main event like the no she was like
(12:52):
Closer more to the how many opening how many motherfuckers there was for four bands. So a KBK was third
Okay, which is interesting in itself because she's never performed before but she's in the middle of the top middle
Yeah, yeah
But anyways getting back to this Shalala girl
as I was saying before
(13:13):
That to me indicates that like when you're in the music industry
You're trying to showcase your artists in all these little hot spots to like it's like tinder to a fire, right?
You're trying to jumpstart her popularity. So let me put her in all these showcases where
All these people that are music industry nerds or whatever the fuck
Let me showcase them to to them and
(13:36):
They'll help her jumpstart her career or if they see value in your music
They're gonna try to you know, do something with her
But just the fact that she's done these two alone is very fucking interesting. It is very interesting. Yeah, very curious
All right, so this is where it gets disappointing, okay, so we get the pointing on now
(13:59):
So this girl with Shalala, I think is uh, yeah, how'd that go? So in relation to her?
She actually performed really well and this was a coupled with the fact that
Her
The person that was DJing who I think it was Jeffrey by water. I don't know how but the tracks ended up being sped up
So like the girl
(14:21):
Couldn't she had a wait around for her songs to like
To to go at the normal bpm's
That they're supposed to be at okay, but he the guy that was DJ didn't know how to fucking do that
So like somebody else in the fucking crowd got involved and and fixed their problem
But just some asshole in the audience
Yeah, I think yeah some asshole in the audience like went to the DJ decks and and fixed that problem
(14:47):
So then her her songs or the backing tracks went at the normal speed that they should have gone
So that was a problem, but she had like a lot of poise and I kind of respected the fact that she didn't like
Turn this into like a disaster or anything like that. Yeah, but meanwhile her manager was like, oh, yeah
Fuck yeah. She lay lay, you know whistling and hollering and try to get the crowd into it
I'm like damn dude. So this is how the music industry works, man
(15:09):
It's like convincing everybody else somebody else is important like damn. Yeah, that's kind of what it is. Yeah, so anyways
we get to
Akbk herself and I hate to fucking say it man this thing
Uh, it didn't go as well as I wanted to
Oh damn it now i'm not saying it's because she sucks or anything. It's because was it like technical errors
(15:33):
It was it wasn't technical errors. It was the fact that this place as I said before it's not like a professional grade
Thing. Yeah, so it sucks. So it kind of sucks
So like I feel like the sound was bouncing off the walls and yeah the the instruments were playing
But it was kind of like muddled so I couldn't really hear it
Everything and I couldn't hear her fucking vocals at all dude. Oh man
(15:56):
So I really didn't get a good impression of like who akbk is
As a performer other than like she's very charismatic. She's very animated and she knows how to engage the crowd. But as far as like
Her voice and singing I I really couldn't piece together
What the fuck was going on like?
(16:17):
It kind of it was a real fucking letdown. I have to say damn that sucks
Yeah, so I need to go out and see her again to to know what she actually sounds like
Do you think that she'll be doing another one anytime soon?
Yes, I mean she has to she's gonna get the ball rolling on this shit, but also
There was a number of people in there was a number of people in the audience that were marking out for her that I imagine were
(16:41):
Musicians and also friends of hers, but there was a lot of people that were marking out for her
But there was a lot of people in general that were there to see her that weren't her friends. I'm like what the fuck dude like this girl
barely started playing
live just
This at this show first first time and she already has a lot of people like already singing her songs
(17:05):
Like what the fuck dude? I don't know. I'm just saying that if things go the way they
Probably should or if they might uh, she's gonna blow up. Yeah, and you know we were right there
We were there before no we were there day negative five. Okay. Yeah
That's that's interesting. So what do you think the
(17:27):
Schedule she's gonna need to be on like the pace of doing shows that she gonna need to go out every week
And do shit around there to try to like get the word out or like I just like a monthly deal. Well, I mean
I don't know what's gonna happen from here because like if if she does more professional shit like more professional shows
obviously like when you sign a contract with a
Talent buyer or whatever. It's like a 30 day 30 day or 30 mile radius clause. So you can't play anywhere
(17:53):
Oh
In a 30 mile proximity, right? Unless it's one of their well, do you think they made her do that?
No, no, cuz I think this is like small enough that that's not even an issue. But yeah
But just the idea
of having to play like most artists I think play once a month because
Maybe some of the contracts they sign
(18:14):
Give that stipulation that they have to play like further away
So it's they're not taking away ticket sales from that show versus like
You know the other gig. Yeah
But I don't know how this is gonna work like I think she's gonna play smaller
shows again and like showcases and shit, but
(18:34):
It has to be on like a monthly basis because she kind of needs to be consistent about doing all this shit
But just the fact that
Out of the gate there was a number of people watching her
I mean, dude, what does that say for her?
Like when she actually gets the ball rolling and starts performing like are more people gonna fucking show up even though
She hasn't really fucking performed. I don't fucking know
(18:55):
Yeah, maybe
I don't know. I guess we'll have to see
Where it's gonna go who is the who is the headliner for this?
One or whatever some band called sugar pit, but I didn't stick around for that. I just left
I fucked off because I was so bad dude. I was like fuck dude
I came out for this fucking shit, and I didn't even get what I want
I got the video like I got the video, but it doesn't even sound or look good
(19:15):
So do you think that other you think that turns people off?
What do you mean?
Okay, so like when they when when someone comes out and does a performance like this right because maybe it's not their own fault
Maybe it's the
Acoustics, maybe it's the fucking you know speaker system. I don't know whatever
Yeah, but when that shit happens, you think it turns people off like or apparently it didn't because a lot of people were engaged
and happy to be there and singing her songs and shit, but
(19:38):
She there was an opera there was a window of me being able to say something because she's like are you she said
Do you guys hear feedback coming through?
Speakers or like can you guys hear me and I fucking didn't say anything and I should have said I can't hear your voice dude
Can't fucking hear your voice and I missed my opportunity
And therefore I kind of ruined the whole fucking set. So in summary
(20:02):
This was a complete fucking waste of time
I didn't get what I wanted. I did find out information
That was interesting particularly that chilele girl
Being showcased at different music industry people's
own promotions
that
(20:23):
That's how it works man. Is that
You know somebody who knows somebody that that knows somebody that puts fucking things together and you
That's how that's how that shit works
Yeah
Oh shit, why is it playing that?
anyways
That's very interesting
It is the point to hear that didn't get didn't seemingly go
(20:45):
Well in that instance or that regard but and uh, I wanted to write a fucking article about this like a recap of the night
but
I can't really hear what I wanted to say
I can't write anything fucking nice
So I don't even really want to bother making a fuck. I had to write something else because
there's nothing to say about akbk because there was nothing to
(21:06):
report on because of like the
The equipment was shitty or whatever the case was or the mixing was ass or whatever the fuck it was or the venue was shitty
But there's nothing to i'm talking about it here, but I don't know how to rationalize that putting into an article
I think you should you should do an article just talking about that fucking guy
Uh, who was who was the first act? Well, did he have a name? Did you get it? Exume ex? Um?
(21:31):
Ex um, yeah denzel washington looking motherfucker
Ex um, I just want to look at see if you can find them exume
uh artist whoops
Is a black dude artist. I don't know. I can't even find nothing came up exume anton exume
uh
This guy
(21:51):
Yeah, that's him. Okay. All right. Let me just see. He's got his own wikipedia page. God damn. He's fucking
Oh, no, wait, that's not it. That's wait
Linktree
Egg zoom god is that his fuck? Wait, wait, wait, it's that it's this guy. Yeah, he played in the nfl
He played in the nfl. Oh, no wonder he looked all chiseled and shit, dude
(22:12):
Yeah, he was a fucking safety for the 40 fucking niners. No way. Yeah
He was a musician in former american football safety
He played college football virginia tech and was selected by the minnesota vikings in the sixth round of the nfl draft in 2014
Oh damn, you should have played you should have stuck the foot. Yeah, he played uh, 2014
To 17 in the vikings in 2017 to 2019 for the niners and then left
(22:35):
Music career after an injury ended his 2016 season with the vikings exume started recording songs
He began collaborating with a norwegian producer eric samkoff in 2018. It's described as surreal pop
His track arrest the dancer just debuted on the matt wilkinson show. What the fuck?
Wait, he's he was saying that he couldn't afford to pay for other
(22:59):
He couldn't afford to pay for other uh, like a live band to perform with him
Like how is that possible? I mean, let's look up his contract. See how much money he made when he's
In the nfl and then we'll fucking be able to know if that was a lie or not
Well shit, I mean if he was smart about he would save money, right? Like I mean if l
Contra, I don't know. I don't know. Maybe i'm maybe i'm being too presumptuous
(23:19):
Um, I mean it looks like he made link bam. Um, basically the entire fucking time, but okay, look at that
Yeah, well back then it was a little lower but uh, but I mean career earnings he made 3.5 million dollars
So I mean you figure half of that goes to fucking taxes and your agent and whatever shit you got
So you got 1.5. So you walked away with 1.5 million dollars. That's not bad. And that's uh, that's not even
(23:41):
That's not really including. I mean whatever signing bernice bonus you would have got like yeah cash paid season history dead money
Yeah, I don't know. No wonder he fucking looked jacked as fuck
Yep, fucking let's see stats. He probably sucked. Let's see. Oh shit. Look at that 2014. He played 15 games
(24:02):
Fucking he took 1.5 snaps on defense. Jesus christ. He was a fucking safety
And he fucking was on the special teams half the 54 percent of the snaps on special teams. That's terrible
Yep, only played seven games 2019 and they told him to fuck straight off
49ers told me get fucked
Damn 1.4 percent of the staff. That's crazy
(24:23):
Anyways, sucks for that guy. Damn. That would have been a good dude to interview too
Former NFL player fucking now he's in music and be like what the fuck is going on?
Music and be like what the fuck are you doing? Like, okay, so I he he does this legit
I thought it was just like uh, I thought it was just a thing
I thought it was just a thing to warm up the crowd. Oh, no. Yeah, whether he was good or not was irrelevant
(24:44):
It was just like oh, let me do this whole fucking thing
to get people
You know to wake them up and shit
And it's it's fucking real like it's that's him. Yeah. All right. You gotta see if we can get this interview with this guy
It's fun. Oh, dude. Yeah, you're like, hey man. You remember me the la king's guy in the audience of that crowd
