Episode Transcript
Holy fucking shit if there's something in your life that you
love as much as I love Metalligan.
I just walked out of the third show I've seen this week all
free from the pit. I said there was be no real Men
Field show this week by him. Oh my God, that's our ball.
(00:22):
I thought. I thought it was all out of my
emotion. Every time I think about
recording this and trying to tell you how much this band,
this music, his fans fucking mean to me, I got choked up and
it's still happening. I got to meet Lars and Rob
today. This.
This tour for me started last Saturday in Syracuse, NY and I
(00:43):
won Snake Pit Passes on the way to the show.
And for these two shows in Toronto that just ended, I had
purchased Snake Pit Passes. Actually, I purchased the top of
the line psychotic package that gets me autographed, set lists
from each night, poster from each night.
I had a tour of the stage on Thursday.
I got to meet Lars and Rob todayand Metallica has a new
(01:07):
documentary coming out called Metallica Saved My Life.
So in the Q and AI told Lars andRob about real men feel and that
it's focused on men's mental health and preventing suicide.
And I say, with Metallica Saved My Life coming out, what would
it take to get somewhere from the band to give me 20 minutes
(01:27):
on the show? And Lars like, Oh, well, we
don't know. We're doing day-to-day.
I said, I made a firm commitmentnow just will you help me make
it happen? And he's like, yes, I we when we
start doing the press for this movie, I'm sure that a member of
Metallica can give you 20 minutes or more.
And so if you say this importantwork that you're doing and we
appreciate it and I will start balling fucking there.
(01:52):
This this fucking week has been full of so many peak
experiences. Each show had just gotten
better. The people of Canada are
freaking amazing. Thank you Canada for knowing
that they just become American. Doesn't mean I am fucking love
tariffs and hate immigrants and I'm not some fucking redheaded
asshole. This city is so freaking
welcoming. Toronto has been amazing.
(02:12):
I've come here often for the Modern Mystery School, but I've
never had time to come and explore the city.
I want to go on a food tour. This like every nation has like
5 restaurants here. It's amazing.
It's so walkable and again, everybody's been so cool and
open. I love just walking around the
town for the last five days and just having people yell
Metallica have me. I'm out of my fucking head.
(02:55):
I hope this show makes some sortof sense.
And again why I'm sharing this, it's because I hope there's
something in your life that means this fucking much to you.
As I walk in the traffic and youget run over.
It will be worth it. That's how amazing this week has
been. All right, so beginning in
(03:36):
Syracuse when snake could passeson the way up there, big
surprise. The place was tiny and the pit
was at moment a pit than in in most seats I've had.
And let's see, I got a pic thereThursday night show backstage
tour. And I got to be on Metallica's
(03:57):
stage before they started and I got a fist bump from Zack Wilde.
Then Titillate got a high 5 fromthe lead singer of Ice 9 Kills.
And I got a fist bump from the bassist for Limp Bizkit and Limp
Bizkit. Surprisingly fun.
I'd seen them back on Oz Fest inthe mid 90s when they first came
(04:20):
out and they got the crowd going.
It was freaking sick. And then the meet and greet,
usually it's been Robin Kirk's. That's what I was prepared for.
So Lars and Rob came through like, and because if you don't
know, Laws likes to talk. So I knew we'd have a long time
with him and we had like 40 minutes and he loved my
(04:40):
metaphysical shirt and said his dad would have loved it.
So I really thought if I saw himout in the show, that would get
me a stick. But it didn't work for me.
But it did work for my buddy Sipka, who's from Holland.
I saw it from across the stage that Laws go.
Holland points to him and hands him a drumstick.
So the Q&A, the meet and greet did help some of us, but Kirk
(05:03):
who I didn't meet, they're hearing the meet and greet last
saw Sandman on stage. He stops in front of me staring
at me. Then I realize he's reading my
shirt and he goes great shirt. So let's that's even better than
a pic. But then did get lots of pics.
I got a handful of pics because at the meet and greet I had been
to the most shows with 46. Luckily Jessica, the woman I met
(05:26):
yesterday who has been to 241 was not with me.
I would have won nothing but what a good time.
Loved hanging out with Sipka, with ROM, with Paul, with Mike,
Michael and Mike. So many cool people.
People from all over the freaking world.
Metallica travel is the best travel.
(06:40):
All right, they'll be more later.
Take care of yourselves. Be good.
Bye. None.
(09:12):
The.
