There we go, we are on. What's your program?

(00:54):
Power. OK, Hopkinsville.
What the hell are you doing in Louisville, MO?
And I were going to the Bourbon Trail.
It was all a ploy. Gotcha.

(01:16):
Bitch it. Was expensive.
The camera was worth it to go onthe.
Bourbon Trail worth every penny I need.
Some. Sunglasses it is, and Canada
needs to get their shit together.
Man, no shit like that is that. It's bad enough they gave us

(01:37):
Bieber. But then they started fucking
wildfire. Meth, then they start, then they
set their fucking country on fire.
I mean, they were, they were oneof the strictest countries
lockdown wise for COVID stuff. And Justin Trudeau became like

(01:57):
a, a dictator, A radical dictator, like Dick Taster that
that country's in in shambles right now.
You need to get your shit together, Canada.
Canadia, yeah. So Lynn said that they uploaded

(02:20):
pictures for this house but I'm not seeing anything like new
anyway on the road again. Just can't wait to.
Defend the road again. What happened to malls man?

(02:42):
Was it Amazon that killed malls?No, I, I don't know.
I mean, I miss a good mall. Yeah, like our kids don't.
Oh no, we still have a mall in in Lancaster.
But they're not like the malls we had.
No, it doesn't have like a National Record Mart or the Wall
or any of those things like the the record stores where you

(03:04):
actually go in and. What kind of record shops did
you guys have here? Like, because like out West, we
had Warehouse, Warehouse Recordsand we had Tower Records.
We didn't have tower. Like when I was in Texas, they

(03:24):
had shit, I can't remember what it was called.
Hastings. Yeah, Southwest was Hastings.
OK, We had we had NRM, which is national record mark, and then
we had the wall and the wall wasjust that was that was it was
like literally a wall of CDs. They didn't really put anything

(03:45):
in the middle of the store. All on the yeah.
And that was the wall and that was the premise.
It was you were gonna in in. Sometimes there was one CD on
the wall for the band you wantedand they had to walk into the
stockroom to get the other CD. Oh, so they had all the stock
like on the walls? Yeah.
It was just all on the walls andthey call it the wall.
And they weren't terrible like National Record Mart was.

(04:10):
It was like you're the basic record store that you'd go into
like it had. They had posters and cassettes
and CDs and vinyl. And you can buy like little
buttons and stuff. Like that buttons and stickers
and pins and all the goofy shit that you would wear to
Applebee's tchotchkes. Shenanigans.

(04:32):
Yeah, shenanigans. And but it was.
But the wall was just. That's what all they had.
It was just, it's basically justCDs and cassettes, more so CDs
and it was OK, but the prices were cheaper than national
record mark by like a dollar or two.
Like do you remember the becauseI think I was having this
discussion with my wife. Like the when you bought ACD it

(04:54):
came like in a like a cardboard container.
Ours were plastic, like the plastic safety containers that
you like. You couldn't shove them in your
pocket. Is that what that was for?
Yeah. They were security.
They were security things like the the thing was like a foot
and a half long. Yeah, the cassettes used to be
on those two. Yeah.
Well, so no, before that it was,it was the same length as that

(05:16):
security frame thing, but it wasa piece of cardboard and it was
like a record jacket. So it would have like the album
cover, then you flip it over on the back and it would be like it
was. It would be the equivalent to
like the album liner. Oh no, I didn't.
We didn't have those. We had I, I don't remember
seeing those. Like we had like the 9 Inch
Nails album, Downward Spiral hada book in it.

(05:37):
Like an actual book. Yeah, like it was in the, it was
a double fold open case. One side had the CD and the
other. Side had basic, that's when you
knew you had a badass CD is whenit was the different jewel case
where they were both sides opened up.
That's when you knew it was worth more than 12/12/99 or
whatever they were selling for. The the the Woodstock 1995 CD is

(05:59):
I think it's a 3 or 4 CD set andit's crazy like it's one single
CD case. I'm dating myself at this point.
It was super thick. So like it folded open once and
then it folded open again and then it folded open again and
had like 3 or 4 CDs from all of the sets and all the.
From each day. Yeah, it was.

(06:21):
I think I still have it. I have to double check.
That was that the last one. No, they did like Woodstock in
98 and 99. Which one was the one where like
this shit just like imploded on itself?
That was 1976. No, that one was good because it
became a free concert. And I, I, from what I, I, I
always hear the stories of not eating the brown acid.

(06:45):
I think I mean I have a conversation with my uncle I.
I was in the 60s. I think my uncle was there, you
know, one of my uncle's uncle Brian, like he, he needs his own
podcast because like, he's just been through so much stuff like,
'cause he came up in that civil rights era.
Oh yeah. And so, but he was like big into
funk and rock and all that stuff.
So he like, he's he this, he gave me this picture.

(07:08):
It's of Jimi Hendrix playing at the Baltimore Civic Center the
weekend before he set the Guitaron Fire in San Francisco at that
Monterey Music Festival. Yeah, and in protest.
Yeah, I was like, I was like, what?
He's like, you're giving this tome and he's like, yeah, it just
happened. I was like, no, you know, you
have, you have two other sons. He's like, no, I got plenty of

(07:29):
these. I was like, Are you sure?
You know, like I have it in one of those frame it.
Yeah, it's framed and it's in one of those UV protected.
Yeah frames. I was just like holding like I,
I was like, I was baffled when he gave it to me.
That's awesome. Yeah, but I mean, yeah.
But I think the part of the reason he gave it to me is
because he knew how much I wouldappreciate it, because he knows
I might try like Hendricks. Hendricks.

(07:50):
He was good. He died young.
Yeah, was the 27 club. Yeah.
What? Hendrix, Morrison, Joplin.
Joplin. Jesus.
Jesus. Yeah, they they were all.
Was River Phoenix 27? I don't know, he may have been a
little younger. I feel like he was younger.
I have, I have been. Me and Mel have been to the spot

(08:12):
where he died at the was it the,was it the Viper Room where he
died? Yeah.
I think, I think so. Who was the the actor that drove
his? James Dean.
James Dean, Yeah, I think he was27.
Was Marilyn Monroe 27? She may have been older.
I think she was a little bit older.
I feel like she was like in her 30s, like lower 30s, like 303233

(08:35):
maybe. But no, the Woodstock thing.
So they had the one in, they hadthe one in the 60s and they
redid it again, like with Limp Bizkit and corn.
Well, no that so there was 1 before that the one.
I think the Limp Bizkit 1 is theone that where everything
fucking went ape shit because I watched a documentary on it.
So of course I should remember this.

(08:55):
But that was the one where it just like where girls were
getting assaulted and they were people were still breaking into
the ATM machines. And I just remember it was a
Griffiths Air Force Base that wasn't that was the one where
everything came to a head. Was it?
Was there a Woodstock 90? There were, I want to say, in

(09:16):
our lifetime. Well.
There were. Two or three.
Woodstock 94 was that was the, this is the inside the craziest
festival in the 90s. And then there was, yeah,
Woodstock 94 was the one, not the first.
That was like 9 Inch Nails and Metallica.

(09:39):
And they, like all the the bandsof that era, were.
That was like the first one. Since like, whatever, 60, yeah.
And that was at Woodstock, GA Like that was at New York the
the original location. Yeah.
But then there was like a Woodstock.

(09:59):
I swear there was like a Woodstock.
There's a Woodstock 99, but I don't think there was one
between 94 and 99. So was 99 the one word?
91, I think 99 was where all thedebauchery and shit was going
on, yeah. I think I yeah.
That's the one that like went toshit.
Real quick, I think we watched that documentary during the the

(10:20):
Panner Panneranini and. Oh, there's actually a
documentary on it called Train Wreck on Netflix.
Maybe that's the one that me andMel watched.
What stock 90? 9 was the so yeah, I was in
Japan, so I was, I don't, I don't think I even saw or heard

(10:42):
any about it. So it's kind of not a clear
memory for me, but I remember watching the documentary and
then hearing about it, and then I was starting to piece stuff
together and I guess I never realized how bad it really was.
Yeah, I heard I did not watch that one, but I heard that one
was a complete and total shit show.
But I did watch every day. I watched Woodstock 94 like up

(11:06):
in my room blaring music, getting yelled at by my mom for.
Because MTV covered that one. Yeah, MTV covered that.
Like, in its entirety. Like, that's all they showed the
entire time. I was like, this is fucking
awesome. Yeah, I need to go there next
year. And they didn't have it.
And I was also a kid. Like they couldn't drive, had no

(11:30):
money and could not buy a ticketto go to Woodstock.
For I think I was in Vegas in 94.
But I I, I said that I was goingto go and I didn't.
I. Think we all did?
It can't cost that much. It's only it's only $500 a

(11:51):
person to go. I I want to feel like looking
back on it, that was like the first major multi day festival
that I can think of. There used to be one in Southern
California called the US Festival, but like US Festival.
Yeah. And that it was in Glen Helen
Park in Southern California. And I remember that one being
like 3 or 4 days. And that was just like all rock,

(12:14):
essentially. This is in the early 80s, like
maybe 8483 somewhere around there.
That's the first music festival I remember ever hearing about.
But then they would also have ones like the K Rock was like
the big radio station LA, and they would do the K Rock Weenie
Roast. And they would have like all

(12:35):
these pop and punk bands and stuff like that.
But that was only like 1 day. And.
Yeah. There weren't a whole lot of.
Multi day. Festivals.
The first real big one I remember is Lollapalooza.
Yeah. Like travelled around the
country and it was multiple days.
Yeah, because we, because I didn't work at Lollapalooza.

(12:56):
I used to work in a concert venue in Pittsburgh or outside
of Pittsburgh in Bergenstown. So you got punched in the face?
Yeah, I've been. I've been assaulted several
times. When you were a security guard
When? I was, yeah, when I worked
security there. And so like Lolla Blues, we
didn't do Lolla Blues because I don't think they had it there,
but we did like Surge Fest, if you remember Surge Soda.

(13:19):
Oh wow. So we did like Surge Fest and
Fish and Jimmy Buffett like, andthose were basically all day
music festivals. It wasn't.
But single day? But single day stuff?
Oz Fest. I remember that.
Lilla fare God that. One.
Tell me about that one. Jesus Christ.

(13:40):
Lilla. So we'll we'll for people that
are listening, like tell them about Lil Affair.
Lil. Affair.
Because it was around the same area as Lollapalooza, right?
It was like the alternative to Lollapalooza I remember.
No, no. I mean from a certain aspect it
was though. Well, I mean, if you're a
certain aspect, they're all female artists with hairy
armpits, then yeah, it was opposite.

(14:01):
Well, I guess we should go back.So Lollapalooza.
It was alternative music, like an alternative music festival.
Yeah, or mod rock or alternativerock is what they called it back
in the day. But then this was stuff like
Pearl Jam. Yeah, Pearl Jam, Chili Peppers,
Chili. Peppers.
Jane's addiction. Yeah, Jane's addiction.
Who else? Why am I?

(14:25):
Like Cracker, the stuff you would probably hear on Buzz Bin
on MTV. Yeah, that that sort of.
Stuff. It was like it was 90s, 90's
rock at that time. I don't know if like Nirvana was
like in that groove. I never saw Nirvana.
But I, I feel like, oh, some type of pilots, Yeah.
So it wasn't like, hard. Alice In Chains, Yeah.

(14:45):
It wasn't hard to so to speak, but it was like stuff that a lot
of stuff that was being played on the radio that was considered
alternative rock. Yeah, yeah, it was like grungy
alternative. Rock.
Yeah, that Seattle sound. Lilith Fair was.
It was. Was it multi day?
No, it was one day, OK? It was a one day thing.

(15:07):
It was all female artists. Even like the shops and
everything like the vendors, it was all focused towards women.
Right. Yeah, it was all focused.
Towards women, run. It was women.
Yeah, it was. And which is, you know, great
idea. That's pretty cool.
I'm all for like women empowerment.
I'm, you know, girl dad. Yeah, same here.
But it's it like fish the fish concerts, those concerts?

(15:33):
Everybody smelled. Smelled awful.
Yeah, the people smelled like fish.
They went to go see fish. You're smelling dirty hippies,
like dirty hippie balls and vagina everywhere.
Lilifair. You had a combination of dirty
hippie chicks, not a whole lot of dudes around.
Yeah. So it was a lot of like just, it

(15:56):
was fishy. It was a little fishy.
Was that? No, that wasn't where.
But it was, I'm trying to think like it was like Tori Amos and.
Sarah McLaughlin Sarah McLaughlin I want to say like,
Hole was there. I think hole did, yeah, I think
hole did. The one, the one year that I
that I because I I went to it twice.

(16:17):
So like L7 had to be there. L7 the four non blondes.
OK, did that shit. I'm trying to There's a name
that's on the tip of my tongue that I can't think of and it's.
Like another multi girl band on Veruca Salt.
Veruca Salt. But no, it's a individual
soloist like like Sarah McLachlan.

(16:40):
I can't think ironic. Who did?
Ironic. Oh, Alanis Morissette.
Alanis Morissette. So she was there, you know, she
did it. And it was, I mean, it was for
the most part, it was a good show.
Called Meredith Brooks. Yeah, the the women you think
like fights with guys are bad. Oh, the chicks were getting in
fights. Oh fuck yes, it ain't peace,

(17:01):
love and happiness. It was.
There was. There was some scrapping going
on. There was a lot of scrapping,
and it wasn't just scrapping. Wait.
Were you working or were you? No, I was working OK.
There was, it was like women latching onto hair and not
letting go. Like no matter how much you
tried to pick this pick up, you know this wafer thin model
looking chick with bad teeth like and try to carry her off.

(17:24):
She did not let go of the grass.Of.
The fat chick that she got into a fight with over like, is it
like? The line at the Is it like how
you when your kids are toddlers,when they go to sleep, they
triple in mass, that sort of thing.
No, no, no, it was, it was. She was still very lightweight
to pick up. Oh, but the.
It was her Kung Fu grip on the the woman's weave that she just

(17:45):
would not let go of like. Was it over?
Like did someone drop a joint orsomething?
No, it was over like this it I mean this particular one, this
particular fight, because there were several that I was not a
part of, but this particular fight that I was a part of like
this oversized lady was high as shit, drunk off her ass and she

(18:06):
just. Just just for clarification, we
are a body positive show. Some bodies, I'm positive that
some bodies don't need to be outthere showing their things.
And we're kids now. It's it was she was a heavier
chick and she was drunk and highand she basically stumbled like

(18:26):
cut the line on the bathroom. Oh yeah.
By like but. You don't.
You don't cut the line for a bathroom.
Period. Men or women.
No, it's not cool. But she just wasn't really
paying attention and she just kind of stepped in line and this
other, this woman behind her just lost her shit.
She wasn't about that. That wasn't.
Long. But there was a line.

(18:47):
But there was a line but also. Order had been established.
She did not go to the front of the line at the door.
It was like 3 people back. Like there's three people left
in line. She just kind of like, Oh well,
I'll just, you know, I'm going to go stand in line.
And this woman just lost her shit and like grabbed her by the
back of the head and started punching her in the side of the
face. Wow.
And she was just this scrappy little.

(19:09):
I mean, she couldn't. She couldn't.
Weighed like 110 lbs. Soaking wet.
Yeah, I mean, she was this scrappy little girl beating the
shit out of this woman who was like 17180 in the 90s.
That wasn't fit. That was.
That was just big, big. So I mean, she just started like
hitting her on the side of the head, you know, we come over and
like, I just, I like, picked herup and she like had a hold of

(19:31):
her hair and would not let go ofher hair.
I'm like, would you fucking let go of her?
And she's like, fuck that bitch.I'm like, let go of her fucking
hair. So he's like, and then he had
another guy come in and he'd like starts prying her fingers
off her. So she she was about it.
Oh, yeah, she was all about it. She she said not only was she
throwing hands, she was throwingfists.
She was kicking and screaming. But I mean, she did some damage

(19:54):
to this lady's face. Like it started bruising and
swelling almost immediately. Wow.
I was like, so she had to go getmetal extension.
And then the other girl got, youknow, arrested for assault.
I was like, was it worth it? Because don't you piss on me.
Yeah, that was going to be my other question.
Like did she? Hopefully, in the midst of the
kerfuffle, she did not like Pee on.

(20:14):
Something no, no one, luckily noone relieved themselves, but it
was. It's just like working at a
concert venue is something special.
Like that's in some cases it takes a special kind of person
to put up with someone's bullshit because you get a lot
of bullshit. Yeah, Speaking of bullshit,
here's Frank. Oh, connect a phone.

(20:37):
Charles Thoroso. Used a dream used to read Word

Cancel my favorite. So getting back to so women
beating each other up at Lilith Fair.
Well, I was, I was saying that it's like working at a concert
and he takes a special type of person like.

(27:25):
So I, I, my, my work at concert venues is like on the stage
being a back line support tech. Yeah.
So I'm up there, you know, laying cable.
Yeah, they are. No, but like, you know, setting
up drum kits and mics and all that other stuff and, you know,
getting artists on and off the stage.
So for me, like the the annoyingpart is like when the artists

(27:50):
bring their friends and they're not credentialed or yeah, and
they stand in the way or they orthey want all these people on
the stage or they want to do an extra song or like, you know, an
artist shows up late, you know, which is pretty common.
And unfortunately, I have to sayin the hip hop community, the

(28:11):
couple artists that I worked with though that I was very
thankful for and grateful for interms of their punctuality and
their professionalism or. And Lil Wayne.
Juice world RIP. Dude showed up like right on
time. He was he was grossly apologetic
because he missed a flight. He stayed on as long as he

(28:32):
possibly could. Like we had to literally kick
him off the stage. So and he and he and he
apologized and thanked everybodybackstage again when he was
leaving, which was like that wasvery it was it was genuine.
You know, it wasn't. He wasn't trying to be
patronizing or anything. So that was really cool
experience. Wiz Khalifa fucking to the

(28:54):
minute Dude on time off time hasthe craziest shit.
So you know, he's a big weed smoker.
He's got weed named after him. But they had he had a bunch of
make a wish kids that were that were that that were on the stage
like, so there's like a part of the stage that the audience
can't see, but like they have special guests and stuff like
that. And it was all these make a wish

(29:14):
kids like on this side of the stage.
And they were just having the time of their fucking life.
And I was and I was like, this is some shit I never would have
put together, you know, make a wish kids want to see Wiz
Khalifa. But you know what?
God bless them both of. Them and they were all Steelers
fans. Black and yellow son and the

(29:34):
fucking the Molly Percocet dude.Oh shit, the song.
The song's mask off. Yeah, mask off and.
Now I can't think because I listen to it.
Yeah, like every other week. But like I was.
Lonely wolf. Lonely.
Wolf No, but I was really like, it was like military precision,

(29:58):
dude. Like, manager came up, you know,
like 15 minutes before he was supposed to get on stage.
Future. Yeah, future manager came up.
Hey, I'm so and so blah, blah. You know, he's like, these are
the people that we have on stage.
These are all the dancers, blah,blah, blah.
And like he would just like tellus all the people who we need to
know. He's like anybody that does not

(30:18):
have one of these stickers, do not let them anywhere on stage.
Me me and my buddy were like damn dude this is this is
fucking awesome. You're doing my job for.
Me, yeah. He came, you know, the you know,
his, his intro music came on andthen like boom, like to the
second, like he walks out on stage.
His his dancers were really coolbecause they were like running
off and on and off the stage. They were jumping off the stage

(30:38):
into the pit and and they kept coming back around and I kept
looking at him like, how do you how, what the hell happened?
What are you guys doing back here?
And they would run back on the stage to dance and stuff like
that. And at the very end, like, you
know, he dabbed us all up. He was like, thanks man, it's
awesome. Great show.
You know, we, you know, appreciate you.
And the manager was like, hey man, thanks, you guys did a
great job, blah, blah. I was like, man, see, that's
like the where like other artists, which I won't name,

(31:03):
just like show up late, leave early, just all kinds of
disorganized. And it just like, and, and, and
it, it, it frustrates me from the audience perspective because
they paid a lot of money to to be there, right?
And you, you know, you're supposed to play an hour set and
you're shorten these people like20 minutes, 20 minutes.

(31:24):
That's like 5 songs. Yeah, we're talking to you.
Easy. Eric Wright, you hear me?
Art artist that. I mean, aside from the hip hop
artist, another group, well, another artist that really like
impressed me. Like it just wasn't expecting.
It was Machine Gun Kelly. Oh yeah.

(31:46):
Dude, he, he, he was the, he wasthe headliner for that night.
So he didn't go on until like 9:00.
Dude shut up at like 1, did a sound check, stayed there.
His whole band stayed there. He was there so long, I forgot
he was there. He was in his, he was in his
trailer. I just remember looking at one
time, he's standing there, you know, shirtless as always,
eating cereal, just talking to people, taking selfies.

(32:08):
Like, I was like, this motherfucker's unreal.
Like he was just the coolest dude.
And there was another band that wanted to come up on the that we
had performed earlier in the day.
And like, once a band goes off the stage, you're not supposed
to let him back on, especially if they're like one of the
opening acts, right? And they're like, come on, man.
Just let us up there. And I'm like, man, I can't let

(32:28):
you up there. And then they look at him like,
Kels, Kels, you know, cook us up.
And he and I look at him and Kelly's like, it's cool.
And I was like, all right. I mean, he says.
So it's his show. But the dude, like he plays
multiple instruments. You think he played the piano
and the guitar in that show? At the same time, no.

(32:49):
With his toes. But the the thing that gets lost
in his music, like when you listen to it, is his band is
super talented. His drummer, he's got a, he's
from Ohio, really crazy story. Like he dropped out of high
school to go play full time for,for MGK.
Like they're, they're all just really talented as a band.

(33:12):
And it just, I think it kind of gets overshadowed just by, you
know, all things that are MGK. Yeah.
I was, I'm not AI don't know. I don't think, I don't think
I've ever listened to anything from from Kelly.
I didn't listen to anything until after that show.
I worked with them because I waslike, man I really need to check
him out. I just heard about the beef
between him and Eminem. This was right when that this

(33:33):
was right when that happened too, because the first talk he
did was wrapped up like when he came out and everybody was
feeling it, man. And I was like, you know what,
I'm going to check this dude out.
I'm going to give him a shot. And his music's all right, you
know, like his newer stuff is more punky because he's working
with Travis Barker. So obviously if you're going to
do that, you know, it's going tobe a Blink 182.

(33:55):
Yeah, Blinkish. But yeah, his other stuff before
that, like it's a just give it alisten, you know, it's.
I may give it a listen, we'll see.
I the only like when I worked concerts, we didn't really
interact with the. Artists you know.
Like, I met, Wow, the dude from Blues Travelers.
The Popper. Yeah, I met him.

(34:17):
John, Papa. John, Papa.
I think it's. Popper.
Popper. John Popper.
Yeah, I met him. I met Ben.
Ben Folds. No, God, I can't think of his
name, No. Aflac.
No Aflac Franklin. Nope.
I wish. I don't remember.

(34:37):
He was just like, he was kind ofa folk singer, black folk singer
style. Really good.
Like fantastic, great guy to talk to.
But then I also met, like, Dave Matthews.
That guy's a fucking asshole. Oh, really?
Well, oh, he's South African. At this time, I mean, he was
just, it was just like it was atthe Dave, it was at a Dave
Matthews concert. So was this like at his peak?

(34:59):
Yeah, it was like right around his peak, Like, so this is in
like 99, Yeah. And I got put backstage, just
backstage security. My job was basically just to
stand there and make sure that when the artist came up from
backstage, like no one rushed them because the, the way that
the, it wasn't like, you know how you picture a backstage,

(35:21):
it's star like it was like the buses and everything were parked
right behind the stage. They come right through a door
and. Yeah.
And that's that's mostly how thestuff I work is because it's
their festivals. Yeah, like this and but this is
a permanent structure type. It's it's an amphitheater.
It's a permanent structure, but it, it there wasn't like

(35:41):
buildings back here or anything like that, that like people are
hanging out in and but there's like a little green room area,
then that and that's it. And that's where, you know, the
artists hang out there before and after their sets, whatever.
Well, I'm standing there. My job is just to make sure that
the only people in there are theartists, the talent, whoever
that they take in with them. I'm standing there and Dave

(36:01):
Matthews, like, he kind of peekshis head out and he's like, we
need water, OK, Go get water. Yeah, me.
And I'm like, I don't give a fuck if you need water.
Like go get water. He's like, he's like, well, we
need you to go get water. I'm like, I'm not going to get
water. Like I have to stay here.
So then he got pissy and he called somebody.

(36:21):
And then like the head of security comes over and he's
like, did he ask you to go get water?
I'm like, yeah, I got to stay here, though.
He's like, he asked me to go getwater, Just go get him water.
I'm like, but I can't leave. Like this is a yeah.
This is what I was told. This is what I was told to do.
My prime directive. And like, I was a Dave Matthews
fan before that. Until then.
Until that point and I'm like, well fuck that guy.

(36:43):
Like what? A prick.
That's unfortunate. That's a that's a shitty thing
to like, oh, go get me water. Go get your own fucking water.
You have runners, you have people, you have a rider.
Go get your own, you know, make sure you have enough water for
all those, you know, college chicks in there you're trying to
fucking bang. But yeah, it was like, I'm, I
don't, I cannot confirm if it isactually, if it was actually

(37:08):
Jack Osbourne or not. But we had a kid, it was about
his age at the time. So it's 99.
So it's about his age. The kid, this kid comes up and
he's it's at Oz Fest. And I'm inclined to say that it
was not him, but he's like, he'sfull paint on his face, A skull.
So yeah, good luck trying to figure out if it's hammering.

(37:29):
So and he's just kind of a pudgykid, and Jack Osbourne was a
pudgy kid when he was. You know, a teenager.
What was that? What was the show called?
Pudgy kids. Yes, the Osbournes is.
That what it was called I. Think so.
Yeah. OK.
And that was, well, that was theOzzy and Sharon.
Yeah, the Osbournes. Like.

(37:51):
Or something. Like it was MTV or.
MTV in the same. Company, Yeah, same, same, but
different. But yeah, so like, he just comes
up and he's like, I need to get to the pit.
I'm like, no, you don't. He's like, do you know who I am?
I don't give a shit who you are.He's like, I'm Jack Osborne.
I'm like, OK. He's like, you know, my dad's
Oz. This this whole thing is mine.

(38:11):
Like, yeah, OK. You're not getting into the pit.
Come back with a pit pass. Yeah.
Are you? I said.
If your dad, if your dad's Aussie and you need to get to
the pit, you wouldn't be going through me to get to.
That if so, facto. Yeah, and then the kid,
actually, he came back with a pit pass and like, where the
hell did you get that? Who'd you steal that from?

(38:33):
He's like. I got it from.
My dad I'm like bullshit whatever so I can either confirm
or deny that the kid was but he had a pit pass and what if I
could cook? I don't care, I said.
Don't die, because at that pointI think Rage Against the Machine
was on. Oh shit.
And they were in right in the middle of killing in the name
of. Oh, and I'm like, yeah.
Have fun with that. Have fun with that, you little

(38:54):
shit. But yeah, the there were there
were other fights I got to get punched in the face by and and
fish eyed fish hooked in my eye by a golden glove boxer.
Jesus. I think that's the story I was
thinking. About that's the story that
that's like the the one that when people ask, I'm like, Oh
yeah, I got I got assaulted by agolden Glove boxer.

(39:16):
There was one guy, said the the head of security at the time.
These butts. These butts.
Barbecue. Yeah.
The head of security at the timewas a a very large guy.
Not fat, just massive. Took up a lot of real estate.
And he wore a ring with a lion'shead on it, like it stuck off of

(39:37):
his finger. And he wore this ring.
And at the end of every almost every concert night, he'd sit
there with a toothpick and he'd be picking shit out of the ring
because he had punched somebody several times.
Disgusting. Yeah.
And this is that's the same guy who told me that I had to go get
water for Dave Matthews. But he he snatched up that

(40:00):
Golden Glove boxer. Faster.
I've seen anybody snatch anybodyup before in their life and then
immediately threw him to the ground and had him pinned until
the cops came and put the cops on the guy and he's like, you
want to press charges? I'm like, no, he's like, how's
your face? I'm like it hurts.
It hurts. I mean, I did I, I kind of did
it to myself. Like we were trying to get the

(40:22):
guy to calm the fuck down. I jumped on his back and tried
to put him in a chokehold. No.
But not knowing the dude was, you know, 10 times stronger than
I was because he literally fish headed me with his right eye,
with his right hand and my left eye and pulled me over his
shoulder. Yeah, like, my eye was bruised,
like, it hurt. Like I was lucky I didn't, like,

(40:43):
lose my eye. But yeah.
And then he also punched me in the side of the face.
Not hard, thankfully, but enoughto make me see stars.
Tweety Bird. But it was just like, like that
whole night was just a clusterfuck of.
Was this this little fair concert still?
No, that was that might have been Tom Petty.

(41:06):
Wow. Yeah, like I was at one of Tom
Petty, like the last, well, I was going to say one of his last
concerts. That's not true.
One of his tours like I think itwas Mary Jane like the IT.
Was one of the last dance with Mary Jane, you know.
Fly, you know, learning to fly that stuff that was.

(41:26):
Into the great wide open. Yeah.
And we were up in the up in the upper parking lot and that's
where. Where is this venue at again?
BURGETTSTOWN, PA. It used to be called * Lake
Amphitheatre and then it was theCoca-Cola Amphitheatre and then
it was the Pittsburgh Post GazetAmphitheatre and then who knows
what it is now. It keeps, it kept changing

(41:46):
names, but I'm trying to think of some of the other shit that
we got into there. Like for fish concerts, it was.
Multiple, you see? Yeah, so.
They handed out gloves like latex like not just your regular
old like like shark proof, no like elbow like inseminating a

(42:10):
fucking cow gloves. That's kind of like that's
mildly concerning. Jerk off the bull and then shove
the your hand in the cow. Like elbow high gloves.
They didn't want anybody touching anybody.
These people. Like it was, well, it was
everybody. Yeah.
Well, I mean, that's what was it.
Like these people are going to be sweating, dirty, dirty.

(42:30):
They may, you know, we had last year, some guy got, he was in
contact with acid, not acid thatburns like LSD.
Like he got high. Like one of the employees got
high as shit because he grabbed a guy and he was like just.
Soaked in acid. Soaked in like sweaty acid and
he got. Sounds like a bad time.
Yeah, and I was just like, I don't want to fucking do that.

(42:52):
And then you walk over, I'm like, yo, no, I'm fucking
touching. I put my hand on it.
Get away from me. You dirty.
Hippie, dirty fucking hippie. You smell like a truly oil CEO.
And it it took a good, I mean, they when whenever that concert
happened, because like the next day you'd have to go the next

(43:12):
day you go get your paycheck. So you got paid for every, It
wasn't like weekly, you just gotpaid per show.
So which is nice. So the next day I'd drive up and
they're like power washing. Everything.
Like you just have a crew of power.
Washing. I guess I've never thought about
that. That's like that.
That is a concern. Like if people are just.
People. Yeah, a friend of mine told me

(43:34):
about. He went to some concert, I don't
remember what it was. He said some guy was going
around with a water gun that hadacid in it and spraying people.
Yeah, I mean I, I. And I and I've, yeah, I've never
done acid, but I guess it's mildly terrifying, like if
you're trip, if you're tripping,but you don't know you're
tripping, yeah. Like when you start seeing
flying eyeballs, Yeah, all kindsof other goofy shit.

(43:58):
But yeah, it was just like they were just power washing
everything down, getting ready for the next concert.
But I had a lot, I mean, I had alot of good times working there.
I mean, I had a lot of good bootleg T-shirts because that's
primarily what we focused what my team.
Focused on was bootleg T-shirts.Just stopping guys from bootleg,
like we'd walk the we'd walk around in the the woods in the

(44:19):
surrounding area because that's where the bootleggers would hide
their shirts and we'd take all the shirts and then we'd go put
them in someone's car. That would suck coming back to
your stash and it's fucking gonegone.
Yeah, and then we'd lie to the bootleggers and tell them we
didn't take their stash, but they needed to give us half of
whatever they had on and we'd let them sell the other half of
it. And he's like, I only got 10

(44:39):
shirts left because. You got 5 now.
Give me 5 and I'll let you sell those other five.
Man. I'm just trying to make a
living. I'm like.
So am I because I'm going to go sell these shirts.
We gave them away. We'd like hand them all out to
everybody in security and then send the rest.
They all get sent off the incinerator.
One guy tried to tell us his shirts were legit.

(45:00):
These are legit shirts. I'm like, then why the fuck is
this? Is the artist name spelled
wrong? Yeah, man, I was told these were
legit. I'm like, yeah, as you were
picking them up from some guy onthe corner in downtown
Pittsburgh. Yeah, yeah, super legit.
No, no, no name tags or the Whatdo you call it?
They were missing the G in Wu Tang.
It was the Wu Tang. Clan, Clan.

(45:22):
They ain't nothing pook with. The I think the funniest slash
most interesting artist I workedwith was a marshmallow.
Yeah. I had to sign an NDA.
This is back before he took his helmet off.
I had to sign an NDA. He was very cool.
But like, I cannot. It's like knowing what he looks

(45:44):
like before he took his helmet off is like I, I I get it
because he's just like this nondescript white dude.
Like even if you look at his picture now on the Internet,
like he just is nondescript white dude.
So it's like you could figure out you like you.
You would never know who he was because he just he would blend
in, but. It was me, MO.
But he was, and it was Will WillFerrell.

(46:06):
Did you ever see that? No.
He was at, I think, MTV Music Awards.
And like he took off the helmet and it was Will.
Ferrell They had a bunch of celebrities do that shit, didn't
they? I I don't remember but it was
easy to figure out though because he used to go under a
different djnameitwas.com beforehe became marshmallow.
Very similar sound, but the marshmallow sound evolved from

(46:31):
his original iterationis.com. I miss Daft Punk.
They had a good run, man. They were around a lot longer
than I realized because the first time I heard them was like
in the late 90s, like 9798. Yeah.
And it never dawned on me like that Around the World is that
old? Until I was watching something,

(46:52):
I was like, yeah, that Around the World album is 30 years old
now. And I'm like, no, no, no.
Like that one Canadian guy. No way.
No way. Yeah, it was.
Yeah, Daft Punk, and I mean Fat Boy Slim still around.
Yeah. But he's not as big as he used
to be. No, he's still.
Chemical Brothers. I watched there's this on

(47:15):
YouTube, there's this channel called Circle, Think CIRCLE.
OK. And he did.
Fat Boy Slim did a it's like theall the all the videos are like
one hour, but it's like a one hour DJ set of him in this like
tower like somewhere in Europe, but it like goes up and down,

(47:35):
but it rotates to Oh that. Make me fucking vomit.
But I mean, it's not going like super fast.
It's like really slow, you know,and it comes up and down is.
That worse though? Well, no, you, you don't really,
you can't really pay attention. You don't really notice until
like you've actually you noticedthe horizon changing.
So it's like really gradual and they have all like these.
I think they're using Sony cameras actually, like Sony S

(47:57):
fours or something. And they're just like positioned
and there's like a couple guys walking around with them and
it's you know, a direct audio feed.
So you're getting the sound straight from the DJ booth and
actually, and there's like people in there just dancing
around and shit and having a good old time.
So that they're actually pretty cool if you're into like DJ
culture, like style sets. But if you like Fat Boy Slim
like, you'll like that one. Yeah, I mean, I was, I was a fan

(48:20):
back. I used to listen to a lot of
like. That big room house, Yeah.
EDM and whatever techno what? Everybody else, yeah, back when
that like the big room stuff like like Fat Boy, Slim,
Chemical brothers. Like Tiësto?
Yeah. It's Prodigy.
Yeah, Prodigy. I just, I love Prodigy.

(48:43):
I want to all about smacking my bitch.
I remember one of the open announcements when Sam Briggs
came out to smack my pitch up. That was awesome.
I would like to go like to one of their shows, like in the
their peak era, their peak for commercial era, like in the 90s
when all that big room house waslike hitting the radio

(49:05):
firestarter. Yeah, I would have loved to have
gone to like to to that that living off the fat of the land,
like that record. I would have loved to have gone
to a show from that era, but I was living in Japan at the time.
But I mean, I just can't imaginewhat that shit was like, you
know? I'm sure it was insane, yeah.
That like what I like with the thrill kill cold.
I forgot about them. There was so much shit that I

(49:29):
used to listen to that I don't know.
I don't even know. Like I don't, I don't remember
anymore like what it was or who.I've got C burn.
I've got CDs like stacks and stacks of.
Like burn CDs? That I used to get from Napster.
I found a minidisc of a it was, I remember it was the last show
I did before I left Japan, before my son was born.

(49:53):
It was a trance, the show that Idid and I recorded it on my
minidisc player. That's that's how fancy I was
back then. Well, those Minidisc players
were more than a DVD. Yeah, CD-ROM.
There's a good documentary on YouTube about like why the
Minidisc player died and it was essentially on Spotify.

(50:18):
Oh, which I never would have like connected those two things
together, but. It was Spotify was all was just,
they're a European company, right?
Just. Swedish.
So the the last Malmo Sweden is where I was at the last time I
was in Sweden. Wait, wait, no, no, no shrimping

(50:39):
North shopping. Yeah, N shopping.
Sweden was the last place to that I that we had the World
Championships there. And so I, you know, whenever I
go there, I go to a place, you know, I like to have instead of
a local restaurant, just try andlearn about the city.
Yeah. So that City North shopping is
where Spotify was invented. And also the adjustable Crescent

(51:02):
wrench. Like talk about two things that
have changed the world. Right.
Well, if you can dodge a wrench,you can dodge them all.
I was like, hold up What? I was like, yeah, the adjustable
wrench was invented here. And I was like, you wow.
Like, like that's just somethingthat I've always had like, yeah,
to think of it being invented, yeah.

(51:23):
That's like have. This wrench.
Yeah, it's many wrench which adjustable wrench though, like
the Crescent, the Crescent, Yeah, the monkey, the adjustable
Crescent wrench, pipe wrench. So every year at the end of the
World Championships, the host nation gives a gift to the
country that's going to be doingthe next World championships.
So that year they gave them a Crescent wrench that was wrapped

(51:45):
in yellow and blue tape, which Ithought was pretty cool.
And it was actually part of their their logo.
So like there's a standard logo in the in the logo, you're
supposed to showcase like some sort of skyline that's that's
indicative of your country and then some sort of totem or

(52:08):
whatever. So I remember one of them was
this tower. It's like the equivalent to like
the Statue of Liberty in Sweden.OK.
And then there was like a Crescent wrench in there and I
didn't understand, didn't. Understand the Crescent wrench?
Yeah, he doesn't know what the Crescent.
Wrench means he. Doesn't know what to do with the
three shells. Yeah, that's a All restaurants

(52:32):
are Taco Bell now. Actually, that would be kind of
nice if all restaurants were Taco Bells.
Make eating out a lot easier. But only if.
And then for when it was in Mexico last year, the Norway is
obviously this year and they gave them a a poncho and a big

(52:53):
sombrero. See.
And people say that that's racist.
But like and so like from for us, like if we if we ever host
the World Championships, I thinkwhat I would give them is
probably just like an AR15 and aChevy and some diabetes.
Fucking Chevy truck. But it would have to be

(53:14):
something really campy and really stereotypical.
So like, I don't know, like a cowboy hat and a bottle of
bourbon or something. A.
Big glass of McDonald's Coke. McDonald's Coke not not the
regular Coke you get on the street.
Not that there's actually a whole thing about that.
Speaking of. Yeah, I've I didn't know that
there were does. Well, McDonald's or Disneyland
has their own formula. Well, it's not, it's not that

(53:36):
it's Coke says not Coke doesn't say that McDonald's has their
own formula, but they it's how it's contained.
So apparently Coke has guidelines for restaurants.
OK, OK, And this is all hearsay at this point because I haven't
I haven't seen or read the any of the articles, but there's.

(53:57):
So Coke recommends that you filter and chill the water
before adding the syrup and thatthe syrup come from a stainless
steel container, not a plastic bag in a box.
And that's what McDonald's does.Allegedly.
Allegedly so the the water's cold before the IT mixes with

(54:19):
the syrup, and then the the ice doesn't melt as fast, which
retains the sugary flavors and everything else, and the
stainless steel keeps it from leaching basically plasticky
lychee bullshit into the. Into the thingy thing.
Yeah, the thingy thing, the syrup.
So that's why Coke is better, because at McDonald's, because

(54:41):
usually if you get a Coke out ofa bottle in a store, it tastes
different there. It tastes different if you get a
Coke at another restaurant, they're probably not using
stainless because everybody, most places have.
They're just taking it out-of-the-box.
The cereal. Yeah, the cereal comes in a
plastic bag that's shoved in a box that sits on a on a rack,
and you just swap out boxes as needed.
Yeah, so. But apparently McDonald's does

(55:04):
it to the recommended. Specs.
Specs. Now, whether that's the case or
not, but that's what I heard theother day because I was like,
oh, I hate McDonald's. So.
But Disneyland has their own formula, right?
I don't know. I didn't know that Disneyland.
Had I thought they did? Now I do know that they have,

(55:26):
they used to at Epcot, they had like a before, before that Coke
machine that you could get that like you just punch all.
The that freestyle machine or whatever they call it.
They had something similar to that there before it was
released anywhere else, but I don't know if they.
The first time I ever saw that was like in a movie theater.

(55:48):
Yeah, that was some mind blowingshit because I could get a
cherry Vanilla Coke. Get an orange cherry vanilla
coke. Yeah, I don't know about that.
I don't. Know about that either.
Sounds like Tootsie rolls. You like Tootsie Rolls?
No, not a Tootsie Roll person. The sugary candies I don't get
into. So up to 54 minutes we were
majority talking about music. So I guess now we're shifting to

(56:10):
food, I mean. Just natural progression from
Tootsie from Tootsie rolls to. Cotton candy, sweet and low.
Sweet and low. Let me see that Tootsie roll.
Yeah, I'm not a but 69 boys. Which was, which was, which was
95 S? Yeah.
Yeah, I didn't know that for quite some time.

(56:34):
And then I also learned something the other day thanks
to the power of Instagram that Cisco does not make any money
off of the thong song. Because when he says that part
about Livin La Vida loca, he didnot clear that with Ricky
Martin's people. So they didn't come out and say

(56:56):
like what the split was, but let's, but he said Cisco was
like, let's just say they make alot of money.
Every time that song gets played, I'm going.
To start playing that. Song just to me it's just funny
because like sample clearing I mean maybe because I'm a DJ and
I'm very into hip hop music thatI understand like how

(57:18):
detrimental that can be to like your your dividends yeah.
Because what was Oasis? Remember that group?
Yeah. The brothers, they hate each
other. Yeah, they got sued.
For it wasn't, it was. For it was Bittersweet Symphony,
but I don't know who they stole they sampled that melody from,

(57:44):
and they don't get any money from that song because they
never cleared that sample. I mean, I can see that.
I mean we've this this show has been worn several times for
playing music on it by YouTube. On YouTube.
You guys are on YouTube? The audio.

(58:05):
Audio. OK, yeah.
So like one of the previous shows I was talking about a guy
named Elwood Prince. Elwood the third, I think it was
his name and he's out of, he's aproducer out of the North
Carolina, but he put out a song called The Peril or the an album

(58:25):
called The Perilous of Our Times.
And one of the songs he samples from is from Sundown.
The song was called Sundown. And he basically remade the song
Sundown and it's really good. And I was playing it on for
Randy. On the show.
As we were talking over it, yeah.
And we're talking over it just, you know, so fair, right, Stuff.
And it we got a warning from YouTube that they could not

(58:49):
showed the they could not preview this or allow this to be
shown to. Certain to minors.
Well, just to certain. Certain countries.
Countries. Oh no, that's different.
And I'm like, all right, no, we've been warned.
I mean our our one Christmas episode got pulled.
See, that's different. That's a takedown.
But yeah, we got, we had a takedown for that, but we talked
over one of those songs too. Well, takedowns are completely

(59:11):
different than warnings because like with the DJ podcast that I
do all the time, we, we, I always have to clear music.
So if you get a takedown, that'sthat's bad because if you get 3
takedowns, you're done. Yeah.
We've got we've, I think I've had two.
So you're you're, you're on the edge.
I'm living on the edge. That's where I'm at.
That's where. I live.
But the other one, just the copyright warning, like that's

(59:32):
just a lot of it has to do with the rights in certain countries.
Like maybe that that label doesn't have rights or whatever
because I get those all the timeand usually like as long as it
doesn't say that the rights are banned in the USA, then you can
just go ahead and leave it on there.
No, I I just leave them all up. We've, I think we've had, I
think I've had two take nows. Well, but like for me, like I

(59:54):
might be using music like, you know, like as we're talking
about equipment or something like that.
So it's kind of I can't just have it like muted.
No. And then I I get that part like
I've just like the whole. Like I understand.
So the was it for the Was it Dominic the Christmas donkey?
Yes. No they didn't.
They didn't specify because we did the top 10.

(01:00:16):
Is that his name? Yeah, it was Dominic Christmas
song. I never.
Heard that song? You should ask Frank.
Like, hey, you know, Dominic is the Italian.
Christmas song? Yeah, I had never heard that
song, Yeah, until you played that.
And what was the other one that got?
We had, well, it was so it was part of that.

(01:00:38):
It was like Christmas and Holliswith Run DMC.
There was one by Corey Taylor who was the front man for
Slipknot who was like Merry fucking Christmas or something
like that. There was Dominic the donkey.
You ever heard his commercial for Slipknot cereal?
No, there's a Slipknot cereal you.

(01:01:00):
Know it's just a fake commercial.
Every box has a has a has a cup of broken glass broke because
broken glass is metal. I don't.
Have to look that one up, but I can't remember who who else we
did on that show, but they it was like copyright infringement,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah takedown.
You know, we're we're taking down this and I'm like, but what

(01:01:23):
about like fair use? And because all I you know, I
read, you know, I read about copyright infringement.
Whatever. And I get that, but I'm not
sitting here playing the song inits entirety for someone to go
like, I'm playing 10 to 15 seconds of the best part of the
song while we're talking over it, you know?
And it's obviously. That.

(01:01:44):
Shit, because you guys like there's all these different like
Marvel and Star Wars and music review sites and they all play
music and they all talk over it and they're not getting taken
down and that's all and they claim.
All like copyrighted music. Yeah, like that.
Well, so if you show a video on YouTube of something from Star

(01:02:05):
Wars or a Marvel, that's copyright infringement
necessarily. I mean, you're showing a portion
of a movie or a show. So by YouTube's.
Definition. Definition.
That's copyright infringement. But these guys show those and
they talk over them about and they're not even talking about
the scene that they're even showing half the time.

(01:02:26):
They're just talking about the actor or the character in that
video. So it's just like, but why
aren't you taking that shit down?
That's copyright infringement. They're only showing 15 seconds.
I'm playing 15 seconds of music and talking over it
simultaneously. Because that's because you're
not verified dude. You don't have 15,000 followers.

(01:02:46):
They can verify these nuts. Got them.
Yeah, I've been fortunate enoughto not ever have been faced with
that. But there's some shows that we
do where it's like we do a pick three series where it's not like
the top three or the best three,just you just pick three from

(01:03:08):
this particular Ave. of music, like best 3 hip hop tracks or or
pick 3 hip hop tracks or pick three Halloween themed tracks.
When I did that one, my number one was the song called Goodbye
Horses from when from signs of lambs from Buffalo Bills doing

(01:03:29):
that dance. That's awesome.
Nobody knows that song, but as soon as you if I just told you
the name of it, like you don't know that song, but as soon as
you hear it, you're like and people start cringing.
Rubbing nipples, tucking, tucking penis.
Yeah, it's. So we went from music to food.

(01:03:52):
Now we're back to music. Yeah, Oh, but anyway, So what I,
what we would do is like all three of us would pick 5 songs
and then we'll record, you know,like 30 seconds of each song and
then run it through YouTube first, OK.
And then it'll say like, you know, this song, you know,
copyright, It'll, it'll say likeblock or strike or whatever if

(01:04:14):
you publish this. OK.
So that's how we kind of set ourselves up to not get taken
down. See this happens automatically
through Podbean. The the posting to YouTube is an
automatic. Yeah, well, like I said, we we
screen it first. Yeah.
And then whichever ones don't make the cut, then we.

(01:04:36):
Pull those. And we pull those out and just
add in whatever we want instead.I'm curious as to how some DJs
where all they do is just sampleother people's shit.
Oh, they clear that shit. So.
But it depends what you're doing.
So like if I'm playing like at aCrossFit comp and I'm sampling
and shit like that, No, I'm, I'mobviously playing other people's

(01:04:58):
music, right? That's different.
But if I'm like, if my intentionis to make a mix and monetize
all that, then I have to clear that, yeah.
Yeah, that's the other thing. I'm like, I'm not monetizing off
of this, this show, this is. But like with, with music, like
if you're like, like that whole Cisco thing, yeah, you have to

(01:05:18):
get that shit cleared and you make an agreement to whatever
beforehand. But like the whole thing with
Cisco is like, that song was blowing the fuck up.
So they were like, all right, motherfucker, we won half.
You said live in La Vida Loca. One too many times you.
Spoke Spanish. Yeah, now.
You owe us money, yes.
