Speaker 1 (00:00):
Have you ever gone to a show or been to
a concert where you felt like, Jesus Christ, I'm the
oldest person here.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Uh yeah, I definitely have which show.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
I would.
Speaker 4 (00:18):
I don't really do a whole lot of concerts, but
I do a lot of like music festivals, and I'm
forty three, so you know, it's a lot of younger
crowd usually.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
All right, you know what, that's fine, that's fine, that'll work.
That would totally work. And did you enjoy it or
are you a little self conscious about it?
Speaker 4 (00:36):
Not really?
Speaker 5 (00:37):
Now everybody really makes you kind of feel welcome, Diane.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Yes or no.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
I remember when I this goes back a few years
to Marley to grisi Ariana Grande. Yeah, I was like, wow,
I am the oldest person in this joint.
Speaker 6 (00:54):
Now you're a chaperone though at that point, right right,
that's not so like when when when I was at
Z one hundred and they would doing they probably still
do it for all the show we'd had.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Like the parents' room where like the parents could go
sit in there and like wait and read a book
or something like that. So, yeah, you're kind of chaperoning.
I get that. Yeah, I get that, but you still
get you're still feeling it, but that that is true.
You can write that off as chaperoning.
Speaker 6 (01:19):
In two thousand and one, when I saw in Sync
at Giants Stadium, Oh yeah, I was only nineteen.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Yeah, but I bet you felt old.
Speaker 6 (01:26):
But there were a lot of parents there. Yeah, so yes,
I felt old as a solo fan by myself, right,
but they were chaperoning, but there were older people there.
The other example that came to mind, I think it
was one of the Family Values tours with This would
have been early two thousand's Lincoln Park opened the show.
(01:51):
The headliner was Stone Temple Pilots. So for the first
half of the show you felt so old because they
was young.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Young, right. How about for the second half.
Speaker 6 (02:03):
It was like the audience was on a rotating stage
because everyone standing in the back made their way to
the front. And I think I've told you this, my
friend Joe commented at the time, let the adults through mine.
We were probably twenty one twenty.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
I'm trying to I'm trying to think if I've ever
found myself in that spot.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Come on, no, I know, I know the answer has
to be yes.
Speaker 6 (02:36):
You didn't see anybody when you were in your twenties
or thirties and not realize how young their crowd was.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
I mean, I'm sure the answer is yes, yes, exactly,
but I can't think of it.
Speaker 6 (02:51):
I knew in Sync had a younger fan.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
But yeah, oh well see that.
Speaker 6 (02:54):
But I was a part of that base.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
No, No, but like like like work stuff.
Speaker 6 (02:58):
For sure, not that doesn't count.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Like they're definitely Backstreet Boys shows where I was like,
oh my god.
Speaker 6 (03:06):
No, this has to be something that you went I
went to as a fan, as I went to exactly Dan.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Huh, Like now I'm starting to scroll through, like Brittany, Yeah,
who else would have lived in that?
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Why is nothing coming to mind?
Speaker 6 (03:27):
Kevin writs, I'm forty one. I saw Hot Mulligan. I
felt old for sure, Cappy says the Benson Boone Show.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Oh really wait so Cappy, Yeah, Cappy felt old.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
At that show.
Speaker 6 (03:42):
Yes, but you kind of go into that, you know,
you know there's be young kids there, you know that
going in adults there.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Absolute absolutely, but those people are chaperones, not Cappy.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
No, no, no show.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Yeah, everybody's like, hey, who's old lady?
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Why does she have all that horse hair on her?
Speaker 6 (04:03):
Pardon me ma'am, she's making me a mattress.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
But now let me ask you this, Well, no, that's
not going to be the case there, So no, because
I was reading tips to follow.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
If you feel like you're the oldest person at the show,
what do you mean avoid the pit?
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Well, okay, I bet there's people that don't you tell
Tom from the Goon Squad, big pit guy. If he
shows up at a show where everybody there is half
his age, I bet Tom is right in the planet and.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Everybody's like, no, no, no, no, don't hurt the old guy.
Speaker 6 (04:38):
I've hurt theelebrate.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Yeah, careful, dude, careful, careful.
Speaker 6 (04:43):
So is that more?
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Hey, don't hit him above the waist.
Speaker 6 (04:45):
That's not fair for your own good like you you
may get hurt versus it's a bad look for the band.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Yeah, to have no, No, it's not a bad look
for the band.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
But also if you are if you're Tom, like Tom's
in shape, if you're Tom from the Goon Squad and
there's a bunch of like fourteen or fifteen year old
you're gonna hurt them.
Speaker 6 (05:05):
Oh, it's for their protection, it's.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Well, really for both.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Either you're gonna get taken out or you're going to
take someone out. Oh, and then add the third column,
you look ridiculous.
Speaker 6 (05:16):
Yeah, so is it that.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
You don't want to be the old man in the pit?
Come on, son?
Speaker 6 (05:23):
So is that is that advice suggesting even if you
you're in good shape or you look young or whatever,
that like your time for this is past?
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (05:33):
Kids, Well no.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
No, it's the it at this show. It is for kids. Yeah,
you can. You can still get in a pit.
Speaker 6 (05:40):
Oh so if it's an old metal band that may
have been around for a while that has fans in
the pit, Oh yeah, then you're love someone. Maybe it's
a gentler pit.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
The what when you're old? Oh god, damn my back. Seriously, Oh,
don't hit hard. Hey we all got to work on Monday.
Speaker 6 (05:57):
Okay, so I get it now that Yeah, it is okay.
Yet older you can't do moss pits.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Yeah, do it at your age, Yeah, to do what your.
Speaker 6 (06:06):
Own age to your comfort.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
No, Diane, not at a younger show. He can't at
a younger show. He probably still does. He probably still does,
but it would be like, oh, dude, I can't hit gramps,
And then everybody else is like, hey, who's the old
guy beating up kids, and you don't want to be
seen from the stage of like, oh my god, get
(06:28):
the old man out of there, like this is embarrassing.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Make room now.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
On the positive side, take advantage of the shorter bar lines.
That is true. That's one hundred percent true. That is
one hundred percent true. I don't agree with tip number three.
Lean in, make fun of yourself. Hey, I'm the oldest
one here.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
No that that. Don't do that. I don't like that one.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Like I don't want Cappy walking around the Benson Boone
show going like I'm old.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
No, don't do that.
Speaker 6 (07:03):
Yeah, they could come off as also creepy.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Yeah, don't put yourself down because you like something.
Speaker 6 (07:09):
So do you ask about alcohol? Short line?
Speaker 2 (07:12):
I'm using the short line. Oh look at you with
the big X on your hand.
Speaker 6 (07:16):
Lauren wrightes, I'm twenty nine, my husband's thirty six. So
we felt old at twenty one pilots.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Wait, twenty nine feeling old at twenty one pilots?
Speaker 6 (07:30):
No, I get that, especially like the there has been
a fall off with their with the tears of their
fan base, and some people have outgrown them, okay, and
they've introduced themselves to a younger.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Younger audience. Okay, yeah, that could be. That could be.
Where am I going? Line three? Hi elliot the morning?
Speaker 4 (07:56):
Hey, Yeah, Hi?
Speaker 5 (07:57):
Who's this?
Speaker 4 (07:59):
Hey is and from Gaithersburg originally from California.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Oh hey, what's going on?
Speaker 4 (08:03):
Dud, Not too much. I was just saying I was
about thirty seven and before I left California moved to the
East Coast, I saw a band Dying Fetus. Uh you know,
death metal band been around since the nineties. And speaking
of being old, like me and my best friend, we
went out there and we're like, you know what, we're
gonna be the old guys. We're just gonna stand in
(08:24):
the back of the crowd and just kind of watch
everything and just nod our heads to the music.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Sure.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
But then once they came on favorite song, I looked
at my best friend. I was like, hey, man, can
you hold my keys? You my keys went into the pit.
Didn't see him for the rest of the night.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
By the way, a little bit of an old man move.
I know, I don't want my keys. I don't want
to lose my keys. Hold on, yeah, they have lockers.
They have lockers.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
No, I get that, but you know what, good on you,
good on you.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
Yeah it was. It was a great time, and you know,
I was hurting for about a week, but it was
totally worth it.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Were you the oldest one in the pit?
Speaker 6 (09:04):
You know what?
Speaker 4 (09:05):
I probably was. There might have been a few others,
because I mean, it is an older band, so it
does have a wide sure range of fan base. Right,
definitely one of the older ones and definitely slower moving
than the rest.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Did anybody do you feel like anybody went soft on
you because they were like, a he's old.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
No, no. And at the time I had to look too.
I had the super long hair. I've since cut it short.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Oh there you go. There's like also head.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
My fear would also be that that kid's dad is
in the back and they're like, who's this man assaulting
my child?
Speaker 2 (09:38):
All right? Very good, Thank you sir, Thank you.
Speaker 6 (09:41):
From Danny, I was thirty one of the twenty one
Pilot's show, Happy to Hear, I wasn't the oldest person
there from Lava we saw Poppy recently. Definitely the oldest
person there, but it made me feel like the coolest
person there.

the revolving stage of audience.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
I did feel a little like that.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
And because she mentions, wait, who did she go see
Zach Bryan, oh, Zack Brian Brian? So when I saw Asney,
Zach Brown, and Megan Moroni, I was up front for Moroni.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
I did feel a touch old during Moroni Moroni.
Speaker 6 (11:09):
If you haven't listened to her live record that she
released a week or two ago, it's up there with
Noah cons record where it may be great live, but
when you are listening to a recording of the audience
a half second off every lyric, it's a terrible sonic experience.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
I had a great time at that show, but I
did feel old at watching Maroney.
Speaker 6 (11:31):
