hundred percent certain.
Speaker 4 (02:21):

go with you?
Speaker 1 (02:25):
And Colin? Oh?
Speaker 4 (02:27):

went with because you just said he did, I didn't
know if you were.
Speaker 3 (02:43):

Speaker 1 (02:46):
So so Vinnie pas Patino went to Odu.
Speaker 8 (02:49):
And played baseball from twenty sixteen to twenty nineteen.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Well, of course he played baseball, Diane.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Also, he's older than for you at Colin.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Say again, he's older than you and Colin.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
How awesome is that?
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Though?
Speaker 1 (03:03):
How awesome is.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
That those kids probably at the time of their lives.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
Yeah, like he probably said, I've met Aaron Judge. If
the clinic was yesterday, he's still in town, right maybe, yeah,
somebody listening has to know him absolutely, or maybe like
parent of a kid who was taking part in the clinic.
But can did the kids were they like, hey, passquatch,
(03:27):
can I have your phone number please?
Speaker 1 (03:30):
And they're texting him to say, Caul Elliott, do.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
You see the under armor shirts they all got?
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Are you serious?
Speaker 2 (03:37):
You see that?
Speaker 5 (03:37):
So it's got it, says Vinnie Pascuentino and then it'
Scott the sasquatch holding the bat, and underneath it I
believe it says either bingo slut or baseball slut. No,
I think it's like camp or something like that. That's awesome,
(03:58):
that's great. He's got to still be here, Vinnie.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
I will trade.
Speaker 2 (04:02):

Speaker 1 (04:04):
Well, it had to be during the day.
Speaker 2 (04:06):

Speaker 1 (04:08):
No, but I don't know if he flew out yesterday.
I don't know what his deal is.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
I have no idea, and he could have been canceled
or delayed because of the shutdown.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
What if he's sitting at the airport he's like, God,
I'm bored. I'd like something to do.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Oh, he'd be great to talk to him.
Speaker 1 (04:27):

Speaker 2 (04:37):
How many kids were a part of.
Speaker 1 (04:38):

Speaker 4 (04:44):
I don't know what the numbers are. I have no idea.
I just know that he held a camp.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
I just imagine it would have been in high demand
if he had at limited number of spots.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Yeah, no, I would think so, I would think so.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
All right, So if anybody knows Vinnie Pascuatino, please tell

to interact with Vinnie Pasquatino.

was hoping that this would change his mind, and I
think it might have.

Cindy, I thought you said Sandystros.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Maybe think of Craig. Yes, Craig worked for the Astros.
He was in charge.

locker room to make him sick.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
Yes, but now is he?
Speaker 4 (10:50):
But the I was reading it, so I was reading
a story about him, and and forgive me, I had
no idea that that he that he grew up in
in in in Frederick, or went to Middletown High School.
The story of the story of how he ends up
drumming for the Who is amazing.
Speaker 6 (11:11):
Yeah, yes it is.

He has to have been in bands before? So was

Speaker 3 (11:31):
Yeah, Holy good that's that was a big band for
a while.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Yeah, but no offense. It ain't the Who, I understand.
But he's also not well no, no, no he's not.
He's not Keith Moon.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
No, no, but the but now, so the story that
I was reading like at some point like he had
a job and everything and he was you'll correct me
if I'm wrong. He was a big music guy and
was like, efet, I'm packing up and I'm moving to
La correct and didn't he wasn't He doing like some
gig with some who had a connection to the Who,
(12:02):
and I think it was a collaborator with the Who.
And they played they were playing a bunch of cover
songs and one of the songs they played was a
WHO song, and your brother was like, I gotta crush
it on this song.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
The guy is you know, he collaborates with them. And
then that guy.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Whoever it was like called like called Roger Daltrey and
was like found.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Our drummer.
Speaker 9 (12:24):
Yep, yeah, and then he yeah, he played with Robert
for a long time. That's a Robert band.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
That's awesome. I love the story. It's great. I had
no idea.
Speaker 6 (12:36):
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
Now can I ask you this do you do anything
for everyone in Middletown know this?
Speaker 3 (12:43):
He's treating it like it's.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Does everybody you know know that your brother is the
drummer for the Who?
Speaker 6 (12:50):
No?
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Oh? Does everybody.
Speaker 6 (12:55):
Friends?
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Was it a family secret that we were trying not
to let out?
Speaker 6 (13:00):
No?
Speaker 4 (13:00):
No, okay, now let me ask you this. This is
really more about you knowing that you have a brother
that's in the Who.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
And did the tour?
Speaker 4 (13:12):
Did you take on the role of sibling that I
would take on and do absolutely nothing but just say, hey,
can you throw me some cash?
Speaker 6 (13:22):
No? He did invite me to one of the shows.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
How about like to several of the shows and fly
me there.
Speaker 6 (13:30):
Well, I got to go to work, just like you
can't just go Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
No, I hear you.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
Hey, listen, I'm glad that I appreciate you sending him
a text. Hopefully, hopefully he'll be uh, what is it
six o'clock out in LA.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
He should be good. Hey, does he come back to
the area often?
Speaker 6 (13:46):
He's down in Virginia, I believe right now.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
Oh, so he's on our coast. Oh, then he should
get it all right? Call him all right, very good,
very good. Hey, I appreciate it. Thank you, sir, thank you.
How awesome is that?
Speaker 5 (13:57):
So when there was all that drama with Zach Stark
like Ringo's son, correct with Scott, Scott clearly was already
linked to the band.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Oh god, yeah, so.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
When when he when Zach was in and out with
Scott sitting there like.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
I would assume. So, I mean he his whole thing
is that from what I was reading.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
The little bit I was reading, was like like he
he like he says like you know, like yes, obviously
you look up and you go Keith Moon, Jesus Christ. Right,
and then there's Zach Starr who he says about Starr,
he's like, I admired the guy, Like and he's a drummer.
He's like, I admired the guy. I hope he doesn't
hate me.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Oh sure, I could see worrying about that.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Yeah, of course.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
But it's not like it's not like they went to
Starkey and they were like, hey, we're going to.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Kick you out and the.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
Who side of the story are you reading?
Speaker 1 (14:52):
No?
Speaker 4 (14:52):
No, no, But you know what I mean, he didn't
come in gunning for his job.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
I guess the way of saying sound like that, at
least in the interview.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
It's it's not like he was like kick Starky out
that prick, Like there was none of that.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
And how old did you say, Scott is?
Speaker 1 (15:08):
I want to say.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
He's in his he's fifty eight.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
I thought he was in his forties. Is he fifty eight?
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Okay, that's a big difference.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
He's fifty eight. I just found it played in a
number of bands throughout the years.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
That is awesome, unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Could you imagine? I can't. Could you imagine, like Won't
get Fooled Again? Bob O'Reilly?
Speaker 4 (15:38):
Like any of those like songs where you're like these
are like there are.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Who songsless and then there are whose songs? What's that?
Speaker 4 (15:50):
What's that first show like where you're like holy man? Yeah,
Like there's the keyboard yep.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Nine three. It's not Scott. It's also not Vinnie. Hi,
Elliott the Morning.
Speaker 8 (16:07):
Tray Scott This I mean sorry?
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Elliott is his name?
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Hi, who's this?
Speaker 6 (16:12):
Hey?
Speaker 8 (16:13):
My name is Vince. I've known Scott since we were thirteen.
We grew up in middle school and high school together,
and I was in drum line with him for seven years.
Speaker 6 (16:21):
I guess, well, I.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Know which one was first cheer and which one wasn't Well,
we'll hold on.
Speaker 8 (16:27):
Yeah, Scott was definitely h Yeah, he's definitely well, it
is definitely way better than me.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
But did you at any point appear on the hot
one hundred.
Speaker 8 (16:38):
No, I did not, pumping my son does because my
son is a drummer.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Now, is he realized when he was a year and
a half. Yeah, that's awesome.
Speaker 8 (16:47):
Trying to push him. He's got YouTube channel, writing his
own stuff and things like that. So, yeah, we just
saw Scott up in Philly. Uh what like a month
or two ago. It was pretty cool because the first show,
the first show was canceled and so we were up
in Philadelphia anyway, I was checking down my hotel when
I got a call from another friend letting us know
(17:07):
it was canceled. So we just met up at a
bar and we're hanging out with him the whole time,
went over to the casino and everything. It was really cool,
and then of course went back up when they did
the show a few weeks later, and uh, that was
really neat too, because it's the first time I've ever
you know, went to the bar with him and then
walked over to the venue with him. To right before
(17:28):
he was playing.
Speaker 6 (17:29):
So it's pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Dude, that's awesome. That's awesome.
Speaker 8 (17:34):
And is that is that the I'm a little confused
because I've known him since he was thirteen, and unless
his mother remarried, he doesn't.
Speaker 6 (17:40):
Have a brother.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
He did say step brother.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Oh that step brother?
Speaker 4 (17:46):
Oh okay, yeah, I thought the same thing, like this
smells fishy.
Speaker 8 (17:51):
The now I knew his sister too. Unfortunately, his sister
died of a brand and you're as m a few
years ago, so we started to.
Speaker 5 (17:57):

can I back to this video we're watching him from
the show you were at, sir, where this is him
drumm and we won't get fooled again.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
When you saw him when you saw him in Philly,
was it was?
Speaker 1 (18:10):
It was that? The only was that the first time
you saw him drumming with the Who.
Speaker 6 (18:16):
With the Who?
Speaker 8 (18:17):
Yeah, because he did back in twenty thirteen. That was
having I believe it was tend to Night of Surgery, right,
and he played with the Who for a European tour
for it was a Quadrophenia.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Tour, correct, and that the highlight of that for.
Speaker 8 (18:30):
Him was Neil Peart Uh sent him a symbol congratulating
him on getting him dream job. Somewhere on my phone.
I have a picture of that symbol.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
My god.
Speaker 8 (18:39):
So yeah he got, he got, and Neil like one
of his obviously drumming heroes.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
That you know what that's like, Like that's like Rick
d is doing sweepers for the show.
Speaker 8 (18:51):
Yeah, he's the one of He's the one I kind
of well, my cousin, my cousin's and drummer also, but
between my cousin and Scott kind of got me into rush.
Speaker 11 (19:00):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (19:00):
You know, we listened to a lot of different stuff together.
But yeah, great guy, Hey when you usually first person
I ever smoked a weed with who.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Right on right on the but here here's what I
wanted to ask you.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
And like you said, he did the European tour and
that's fine, right, but seeing him in seeing him in
Philly was was the first time that you saw him
perform with the who is It? And obviously, listen, you
grew up with the guy. I believe you may have
smoked weed with the guy. You know that he's a drummer.
And he moved out to la and the whole thing
and the whole story. Is it still and you met
(19:31):
him at the bar and you walked over to the
venue at any point? Is it weird though to hear
babo O'Reilly or we won't get fooled again and look
up on stage and be like, oh my god, it's
my buddy.
Speaker 10 (19:42):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (19:42):
Yes, and no because we saw him.
Speaker 7 (19:45):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (19:45):
I've seen him twice with Roger Daltrey at Wolf Traps,
So I have seen him play with Roger.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Before, right, Okay, that's fair.
Speaker 8 (19:51):
And I've seen him. I've seen him play. I've seen
him play so many times. His step brother mentioned Oleander.
I've seen him with Oleander. I've seen him with a
band called Speaker of course bands in high school, growing up,
he's played at parties.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Okay, so you know what you are. You're the guy.
You're the guy that's bored of screwing the good looking woman. Yeah,
I get it, I get it.
Speaker 8 (20:11):
None of this is specially a very He is a
very very humble guy. So I did send him a
text message, but you know he's he's pretty modest. So
I don't know if you'll I don't know if i'll
hear back from him, but if I do, I'll let
him know you're looking for him.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Hey, I appreciate it. Thank you, my friend, Thank you, sir.
Speaker 8 (20:29):
Not a problem, you got it.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
There's the symbol.
Speaker 5 (20:32):
Yes, Scott has it on his Instagram. But do you
see the messaging is a little different than the caller said.
It's actually hilarious.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
Yeah, so this and this from Neil pert Peart to
Scott you stole my dream gig.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Wow, incredible, God, that is awesome.
Speaker 5 (20:58):
Now is squats on the line or it sounds like
we might not hear from Scott.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
No, let's see line one. Is that is that pasquatch? Hi?
Speaker 4 (21:10):
Ell?
Speaker 1 (21:10):

Yeah, this' me? Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Who's this? This is Walter? Oh is Walter? Is Vinny
short for Walter?
Speaker 7 (21:32):
All right, all right, all right, all right, I'll give you.
I'll give you a quick So about fifteen years ago
I took a job uh in San Francisco, and my
boss turned out to be the laser guy for the
who He did all the laser shows.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Okay, all right, you know what, we're making headway. We
are making headway.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
So we went from grew up with him and smoked
weed with him for the first time to my boss
was the laser guy for the Who, which means the
next line obviously would be Scott Devers, right, Scott.
Speaker 11 (22:07):
Hello, Hello, Hey, yes here, how are you, dude?
Speaker 7 (22:12):
I assume this is Elliott?
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Yes, it is. It is very honored.
Speaker 6 (22:17):
I'm very honored.
Speaker 11 (22:18):
I just my phone just blew up with everyone told
me Elliott's talking about you right now.
Speaker 6 (22:23):
I'm like, are you kidding me? No?
Speaker 1 (22:27):
So I was.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
I was reading a story yesterday about all about you
and kind of I didn't know your whole background obviously,
and how you like it was. It wasn't a very
long article, but an article that got me from you
go into uh, Middletown High School to ending up being
the drummer with with with the Who.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
It's fascinating to me.
Speaker 11 (22:51):
Yeah, that's the truncated version. There's a lot of misery
and struggling in between.
Speaker 7 (22:56):
Those two highlights or low lights.
Speaker 11 (22:58):
But yeah, I guess you know, that's that's the easy
way to put it. Started at Middletown, ended up with
the Who.
Speaker 6 (23:05):
Never would have expected that.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
The you know what part of the story I really
liked though, is so I'm reading about how old were
you so you graduate from school and obviously, like you're
you're into music and you're playing music and you're you're
kind of kicking around.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
How old were you when you packed up and moved
to LA.
Speaker 11 (23:26):
I think I was around twenty four to twenty five
years old, and I just I had tried right out
of high school at seventeen, eighteen years old. I threw
my drums in the car, moved to New York City
like a crazy person with no money, no place to say,
knew nothing, had no qualifications, didn't know anybody. I mean,
it was a terrible plan. And New York City ate
(23:46):
me alive. And then I tried to build up a
normal life and get a job and get a house
and get a four to one k and then all
of a sudden it just dawned on me like, oh,
if this is everything life has to offer, I'm not
going to be a happy person. So basically I just
got rid of everything, hopped in my car, drove my
drums to Los Angeles, and now I'm here talking to you.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
Yeah, I mean real, honestly, I mean everything else, like
everything else that happened, who oleander whatever?
Speaker 1 (24:17):
No, that's awesome though, the so but I love.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
That part of the story where you just realized, you
know what it's, it's the whole I never want I
never want a second guess myself and you or I
never want to play that game of what if And
you just said efitt and listen. It could have gone
the way of New York, right where the whole city
ate you alive and you didn't know what was going
to happen, and then you end up out there and
obviously it seems like it went pretty well.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
I love that part of the story.
Speaker 11 (24:48):
Yeah, when you read it just as highlights, it reads
pretty well, but there's a lot of struggle and going
nowhere and crappy gigs and you know, a lot of unemployed,
low low moment and you know, it's not like it's
all highlights, but that's life. You know. Sometimes sometimes it
all works out, and sometimes it's just a slog and
(25:09):
it's very difficult to stay positive for a lot of people.
It certainly was for me. But all of a sudden,
one little, you know, one little hookup, one little connection
to a person, one little gig led to this, led
to that, and then led to playing with someone who
played with Roger.
Speaker 6 (25:23):
Roger Daltrey right Who.
Speaker 11 (25:26):
And I played one Who song with him and a
friend of mine who played with Joe Walsh, and it
was just, you know, a little cover gig. And after
we played that Who song, my friend his name is
Frank Simes. I'll be indebted to him forever. He turned
to me and he was like, that was great. I'm
going to get you an audition with Roger. And of course,
you know, being from La, I actually was born in
(25:48):
La and then I had been there for fifteen years.
At that point, when someone says, hey, I know somebody. Hey,
I'm going to get you an audition. Hey, i know
somebody at Arista Records or whatever, they say, you hear
that about a hundred times, and ninety nine times out
of one hundred that they're just talking right right, So
I guess I didn't take him very seriously when he
said that. So really, what I was trying to do is,
(26:10):
you know, remain humble because I felt really good about
playing that one Whose song and I thought that's as.
Speaker 6 (26:15):
Far as it would go.
Speaker 11 (26:16):
So when he said he'd get me an audition with Roger,
I know I gave him the impression of like, yeah, sure,
and I didn't mean it like that.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
I was just trying to stay cool. And he's like, no,
I'm really.
Speaker 11 (26:26):
Gonna I'm really gonna get you an audition.
Speaker 6 (26:28):
I was like, well, you know, thanks for saying that.
Speaker 11 (26:30):
He's like, you don't believe me, do you?
Speaker 1 (26:33):
No?
Speaker 6 (26:33):
No, I totally believe you.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Believe me.
Speaker 11 (26:35):
I trust every word that you say is true.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
I just you know, you don't want to.
Speaker 6 (26:38):
Get your hopes up.
Speaker 11 (26:39):
Yeah, especially with a legend like Roger So And fast
forward to now and now I'm playing with The Who,
which is insane.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Doesn't it like you know what?
Speaker 4 (26:48):
And I mean, listen, it's it's not like you've done like,
oh I did one show and I'm done.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
It still has to unless and you're I can tell you.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
This in the in the five minutes we've we've been talking,
you're a far more humble person than I am.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
It still has to It still has to feel weird
to say. And now I'm drumming with the Who, it
still has to sound weird.
Speaker 11 (27:12):
It does again, I really don't think it's set in.
I mean you have to also imagine, you know, Zach Starkey,
who's Rego star Son. Everyone in the Who world knows
Who that is. Probably everyone in the world knows who
that is. He's he'd been playing with The Who for
about thirty years, and you know, he's one of my heroes.
He's one of the most incredible drummers ever and next
(27:34):
to Keith Moon, he's my favorite.
Speaker 9 (27:35):
Drummer and The Who.
Speaker 11 (27:37):
So we all know the whole public thing that went
on with you know, him no longer playing with the Who.
So that was a whole complicated mindfield of emotions. And
I don't mean to make that about me, but as
far as my part in this with him no longer
playing with them, which is as a Hoo fan for myself,
I'm sad, right, I'm sad for him, I'm sad for them.
(27:58):
And then, of course, you know, I learned about playing
with The Who from a post, an Instagram post from
Pete Cats and Who just he just put it on
his Instagram. Scott will be joining us on our you know,
our farewell tour, FA farewell Us tour.
Speaker 4 (28:13):
Wait a minute, Scott, that's how you found out you
got the job.
Speaker 11 (28:19):
I know that sounds like I'm making that up, but
my wife can attest to this. I had come home
from a few Roger shows a few fly dates, and
I was, you know, it's back to life as usual.
And I'm scooping the cat poop and throwing the trash
and putting the cans down for recycling. And then all
of a sudden, my phone starts blowing up and I
get a message from a dear friend of mine, the
(28:41):
violinist Katie Jacobi, who plays with The Who and she
also plays with Roger, and she was like, hey, congrats.
I'm like, oh, well cool, thanks for what He's like
the post she wrote the post, I was like, Washington Post,
what are you talking about.
Speaker 6 (28:58):
I had no idea what she was talking about.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
She's like, no, Pete.
Speaker 11 (29:02):
I'm like Pete Who. She's like, Pete Townsend's just mentioned
you on Instagram. Of course, my wife knows that I'm
terrible with Instagram. I barely even know Facebook at this point.
So I go sprinting up the steps and she walked
out of her office and I throw.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
My phone to her and I was like.
Speaker 11 (29:20):
Make Instagram work up, and she's like, oh my god,
you're playing with WHO. And that's how I found out.
Speaker 6 (29:26):
Dude.
Speaker 4 (29:26):
That's awesome. That's awesome. By the way, Tyler just pulled
up the Pete Townsend post and yeah, there it is.
After many years of great work on drums from Zach,
the time has come for a change, a poignant time.
Zach has lots of new projects in hand, and I
wish him the best. Scott Devers, who has worked with
(29:48):
Roger solo band, will join the Who for our final shows.
Please welcome him, all right, very good, well welcome.
Speaker 11 (29:57):
And the funny thing is, like I said, I didn't
know Instagram well from the time that Katie had texted
me that, I just kept getting these notifications like somebody
following you, following you, following I mean just hundreds of
people just following me. I didn't even know what that meant. Why,
And then of course I realized Pete Townsands just said
I've got my dream gig.
Speaker 6 (30:17):
But you know, he just said it publicly and.
Speaker 11 (30:19):
I've never even got a call, and I'm like, okay, yes,
I'm doing it now.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
I want you to be honest with me, like the
like you said, like you you were with with uh
with Roberts well Roger, excuse me, I'd call him ro
Roger Daltrey's like his band and doing his thing. Were
you were you when you played your first WHO show?
Were you were you scared?
Speaker 11 (30:44):
No, it's it's counterintuitive to say this, or it might
even come up egotistical, and I certainly don't mean it
that way. But playing drums or you know, anyone who
does what they do where they feel comfortable, or does
something that they think they do well, that gives you,
you know, a little bit of self confidence. It gives
you a sense of your self awareness. Growing up, I
(31:08):
was really really uh, you know, paranoid, and it was
hard to talk to I'm even way more. I'm way
more nervous talking to you right now on the radio
than I am sitting behind, you know, the drums with
Pete and Rodge in front of twenty thousand people. If
you put sticks in my hand and you put me
out on stage, I just don't get nervous.
Speaker 6 (31:29):
It's just where I feel comfortable. Now.
Speaker 11 (31:31):
If you put a microphone in front of my face
and make me talk to a million people like you're
doing right now.
Speaker 6 (31:38):
That.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
I could appreciate that. I get that. That makes sense
to me. That makes sense to me.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Yeah, So what where are you now? Where am I
catching you now?
Speaker 11 (31:50):
My wife and I you know, we have our touch
away country place down in Virginia, and then we come
up to DC all the time. Her father lives in Bethesda.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Oh wow, and.
Speaker 11 (32:02):
He's older now, so we go up there all the time.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
She's there right now.
Speaker 11 (32:06):
And then we also basically consider ourselves New Yorkers, so
we split our time between those three places where we're
very lucky.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
Well that who money buys a couple of houses, done it?
Speaker 6 (32:17):
No coment.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
Hey, last last thing.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
The other thing that we saw that was awesome is
you're you're you're. One of your buddies had had called
us and was telling us the symbol that you got
autographed from Neil Peart.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
Dude, that's freaking awesome.
Speaker 11 (32:37):
Oh my god, wow, who I didn't you know, I'm
not local right now, so I didn't get to hear
any of these people calling in all a side note,
For a second, while I was waiting on hold, all
I heard was I smoked pot with him when the
same guy let me just say, whoever called that in?
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Fake call?
Speaker 7 (32:54):
Fake call? Anyway, anyway, I'm sorry, I.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Totally forgot your question. No, no, the symbol, the symbol
from Neil Peart.
Speaker 6 (33:05):
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 11 (33:07):
That So this is gonna sound confusing. But I had
actually played with the Who before this farewell tour. Right
in twenty thirteen, Zach had a flare up with his tendonitis.
Ne had to take some time off while they were
touring Quadrophenia, and that's a whole another story. I don't
even need to go into that. So I had played
with them twenty thirteen twenty fourteen for about ten or
(33:28):
fifteen shows, which was incredible, life changing, extremely difficult, because
you know, Quadraphenia is quite a complicated thing. And back then,
this is obviously when Neil was I think he was
even still touring with Rush. I had I think I
only had two weeks to get ready for that Quadrapenia tour,
(33:49):
and so I had called my my my symbol rap
At Saban Symbols who have been with for years and
fantastic Christian Stanky, my amazing guy. I called him and
he's like, yeah, yeah, we got you whatever you need here,
you know. Oh And he said at the end of
the phone call, he's like, oh uh, check your check
(34:09):
for a FedEx tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
I'm like, oh, okay.
Speaker 11 (34:10):
And then I went back to studying and trying to
get ready for Quadrophenia. And then the next day I
get the FedEx. It's a little tiny package. It's a
little eight inch a ten inch splash symbol and it
was Neil Peart's signature Paragon Sabian Line, and he just
so happened to be sitting. He's friends with, or he
(34:33):
was friends with, Chris at Sabians. They have a very
close relationship and they're actually they were very close friends.
But I didn't know when I called Chris that he
was having lunch with Neil Pears. So he got off
the phone apparently shared that with him, like, oh, this guy,
he's going to be playing with the who. So Neil
incredibly generously hand wrote a message on one of his splashmbles.
(34:56):
This actually gets me a little emotional, and it said
congrat So I'm stealing.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
My dream gig.
Speaker 11 (35:02):
Right, that's awesome, And he signed it and he sent
it to me and it was absolutely the most touching
thing ever. I still it's one of the only things
to have on my wall.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
That's amazing. That's amazing. All right, So listen, Scott, here's
what I want to do.
Speaker 4 (35:17):
I would offer you a shirt, but that sounds kind
of lame coming off of the Neil Peart symbols, So
we'll just leave that. But hold tight one second. The
I promise we won't abuse the number.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
But the I'm so glad that you called. I'm so
pleased that you called.
Speaker 11 (35:34):
Oh, thank you so much, and thank you for wasting
time on air with me.
Speaker 4 (35:39):
No, it's awesome. I love the story. Hey, hold tight
one second, all right, Scott, Yeah, you got it, you
got it. Hold on one second.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
Oh my god, how awesome is that?
Speaker 2 (35:48):
Amazing?
Speaker 1 (35:49):
How awesome is that?
Speaker 2 (35:51):
It just seems like such a good guy.
Speaker 4 (35:52):
Yeah, are you not a little egotistical, little little full
of himself?
Speaker 1 (35:59):
Yeah. I think it's a bigger deal than he does.
Chesterfield, Frederick.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
This is how mine readers work, right, I.
Speaker 1 (00:04):
Already know what the answer is going to be.
Speaker 3 (00:05):
But you're ready, your nikkid, just discount what we say.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
No, no, not at all ready.
Speaker 4 (00:09):
Yeah, I'll say three and then you answer yes, one, two, three,
fred Reichfield.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Nailed it, Chesterfield.
Speaker 4 (00:19):
So yesterday James River High School, I think it was yesterday, Yeah,
election day. James River High School had an alum that
was back at.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
The school doing a clinic.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
What kind of clinic baseball?
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Then he pass Quatino passuatch, passquatch nickname passquatch. Absolutely from
the Royal Yes, from the Royals.
Speaker 5 (00:47):
He's great on X. I mean he's a very good
baseball player. But remember he went. He's definitely had attention
paid to him, by the way, he's great on TV
on X before. But wasn't he during the home run
derby posting a lot and he was essentially it was
all done with kind gentle ribbing, but it was like, oh,
I'm cal Rally, I'm an amazing baseball player, I can
(01:10):
bat from both sides of the fleet, and I have
one of the best nicknames in sports.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Screw you something like that.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Yeah, No, he's very good on TV. He's very good
on TV.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
He's hilarious.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
Yeah, no, he's really good. So anyway, he went to
James River High School, Okay, and I guess he was
hosting a camp there yesterday. Now, as they said, he
was dispensing some of the tools in wisdom he's learned
throughout his journey on his way to the big leagues
and answered some very important questions like do you know Aaron.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Judge, Elliott?
Speaker 2 (01:45):
You were there?
Speaker 6 (01:46):
Do you know?
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Show? Hey o Tani?
Speaker 4 (01:50):
But that's awesome? Wait does he like obviously he plays
for the Royals?
Speaker 6 (01:54):
Right?
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Is this off season home for him?
Speaker 2 (01:59):
I have no idea, like does.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
He does he come back home for the off season
or did he just come back for something?
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Or is he just back visiting family?
Speaker 4 (02:08):
I don't even know if he's I say that, I
have no idea if he still has family here?
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Did he go to college around here too? Is you
know what? I don't know where he odu?
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Why does that sound right?
Speaker 7 (02:18):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (02:19):
It does to me as well, but I'm not one
hundred percent certain.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Diane, look up Vinnie pass Quatino or Hugh Did he
go with you?
Speaker 1 (02:25):
And Colin? Oh?
Speaker 4 (02:27):
Does does Vinnie pas Quatino know the story about Colin
during that during that car wash, walking off to the
site so he can masturbate in his bathing suit. He
did go to Odu, he did, Okay, Yeah, so he
went with because you just said he did, I didn't
know if you were.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Answering the first part of the second part.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
So so Vinnie pas Patino went to Odu.
Speaker 8 (02:49):
And played baseball from twenty sixteen to twenty nineteen.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Well, of course he played baseball, Diane.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Also, he's older than for you at Colin.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Say again, he's older than you and Colin.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
How awesome is that?
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Though?
Speaker 1 (03:03):
How awesome is.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
That those kids probably at the time of their lives.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
Yeah, like he probably said, I've met Aaron Judge. If
the clinic was yesterday, he's still in town, right maybe, yeah,
somebody listening has to know him absolutely, or maybe like
parent of a kid who was taking part in the clinic.
But can did the kids were they like, hey, passquatch,
(03:27):
can I have your phone number please?
Speaker 1 (03:30):
And they're texting him to say, Caul Elliott, do.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
You see the under armor shirts they all got?
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Are you serious?
Speaker 2 (03:37):
You see that?
Speaker 5 (03:37):
So it's got it, says Vinnie Pascuentino and then it'
Scott the sasquatch holding the bat, and underneath it I
believe it says either bingo slut or baseball slut. No,
I think it's like camp or something like that. That's awesome,
(03:58):

I don't know what the numbers are. I have no idea.

all the gear that they gave him, under armor chains,
gave them some treats as well. It was a great camp.

The did he did he get much of a chance
to interact with Vinnie Pasquatino.
Speaker 10 (06:32):
Yes, he's actually in the photo that they posted for
the for the newspaper. I can't remember what newspaper, but

was hoping that this would change his mind, and I
think it might have.

This is your name Sandy, by any chance.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Cindy, I thought you said Sandystros.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Maybe think of Craig. Yes, Craig worked for the Astros.
He was in charge.

locker room to make him sick.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
No tell her what he actually did, Craig.
Speaker 10 (07:36):
I used to be in the marketing. You know those
people that go and give the aisles, the roles gives
or upgrade their seats.

drummer for.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
The Who's.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Yes, but now is he?
Speaker 4 (10:50):
But the I was reading it, so I was reading
a story about him, and and forgive me, I had
no idea that that he that he grew up in
in in in Frederick, or went to Middletown High School.
The story of the story of how he ends up
drumming for the Who is amazing.
Speaker 6 (11:11):
Yeah, yes it is.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
He has to have been in bands before? So was
he on the Farewell Run? They just did?
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (11:18):
So?
Speaker 2 (11:18):
But what what bands was he in prior to this?
Speaker 9 (11:22):
I was in Probably one of the bigger ones would
be O Leander. I don't know if you remember them
or not.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Why I'm here was a big single for them?
Speaker 6 (11:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Yeah, Holy good that's that was a big band for
a while.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Yeah, but no offense. It ain't the Who, I understand.
But he's also not well no, no, no he's not.
He's not Keith Moon.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
No, no, but the but now, so the story that
I was reading like at some point like he had
a job and everything and he was you'll correct me
if I'm wrong. He was a big music guy and
was like, efet, I'm packing up and I'm moving to
La correct and didn't he wasn't He doing like some
gig with some who had a connection to the Who,
(12:02):
and I think it was a collaborator with the Who.
And they played they were playing a bunch of cover
songs and one of the songs they played was a
WHO song, and your brother was like, I gotta crush
it on this song.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
The guy is you know, he collaborates with them. And
then that guy.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Whoever it was like called like called Roger Daltrey and
was like found.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Our drummer.
Speaker 9 (12:24):
Yep, yeah, and then he yeah, he played with Robert
for a long time. That's a Robert band.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
That's awesome. I love the story. It's great. I had
no idea.
Speaker 6 (12:36):
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
Now can I ask you this do you do anything
for everyone in Middletown know this?
Speaker 3 (12:43):
He's treating it like it's.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Does everybody you know know that your brother is the
drummer for the Who?
Speaker 6 (12:50):
No?
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Oh? Does everybody.
Speaker 6 (12:55):
Friends?
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Was it a family secret that we were trying not
to let out?
Speaker 6 (13:00):
No?
Speaker 4 (13:00):
No, okay, now let me ask you this. This is
really more about you knowing that you have a brother
that's in the Who.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
And did the tour?
Speaker 4 (13:12):
Did you take on the role of sibling that I
would take on and do absolutely nothing but just say, hey,
can you throw me some cash?
Speaker 6 (13:22):
No? He did invite me to one of the shows.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
How about like to several of the shows and fly
me there.
Speaker 6 (13:30):
Well, I got to go to work, just like you
can't just go Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
No, I hear you.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
Hey, listen, I'm glad that I appreciate you sending him
a text. Hopefully, hopefully he'll be uh, what is it
six o'clock out in LA.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
He should be good. Hey, does he come back to
the area often?
Speaker 6 (13:46):
He's down in Virginia, I believe right now.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
Oh, so he's on our coast. Oh, then he should
get it all right? Call him all right, very good,
very good. Hey, I appreciate it. Thank you, sir, thank you.
How awesome is that?
Speaker 5 (13:57):
So when there was all that drama with Zach Stark
like Ringo's son, correct with Scott, Scott clearly was already
linked to the band.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Oh god, yeah, so.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
When when he when Zach was in and out with
Scott sitting there like.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
I would assume. So, I mean he his whole thing
is that from what I was reading.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
The little bit I was reading, was like like he
he like he says like you know, like yes, obviously
you look up and you go Keith Moon, Jesus Christ. Right,
and then there's Zach Starr who he says about Starr,
he's like, I admired the guy, Like and he's a drummer.
He's like, I admired the guy. I hope he doesn't
hate me.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Oh sure, I could see worrying about that.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Yeah, of course.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
But it's not like it's not like they went to
Starkey and they were like, hey, we're going to.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Kick you out and the.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
Who side of the story are you reading?
Speaker 1 (14:52):
No?
Speaker 4 (14:52):
No, no, But you know what I mean, he didn't
come in gunning for his job.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
I guess the way of saying sound like that, at
least in the interview.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
It's it's not like he was like kick Starky out
that prick, Like there was none of that.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
And how old did you say, Scott is?
Speaker 1 (15:08):
I want to say.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
He's in his he's fifty eight.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
I thought he was in his forties. Is he fifty eight?
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Okay, that's a big difference.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
He's fifty eight. I just found it played in a
number of bands throughout the years.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
That is awesome, unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Could you imagine? I can't. Could you imagine, like Won't
get Fooled Again? Bob O'Reilly?
Speaker 4 (15:38):
Like any of those like songs where you're like these
are like there are.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Who songsless and then there are whose songs? What's that?
Speaker 4 (15:50):
What's that first show like where you're like holy man? Yeah,
Like there's the keyboard yep.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Nine three. It's not Scott. It's also not Vinnie. Hi,
Elliott the Morning.
Speaker 8 (16:07):
Tray Scott This I mean sorry?
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Elliott is his name?
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Hi, who's this?
Speaker 6 (16:12):
Hey?
Speaker 8 (16:13):
My name is Vince. I've known Scott since we were thirteen.
We grew up in middle school and high school together,
and I was in drum line with him for seven years.
Speaker 6 (16:21):
I guess, well, I.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Know which one was first cheer and which one wasn't Well,
we'll hold on.
Speaker 8 (16:27):
Yeah, Scott was definitely h Yeah, he's definitely well, it
is definitely way better than me.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
But did you at any point appear on the hot
one hundred.
Speaker 8 (16:38):
No, I did not, pumping my son does because my
son is a drummer.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Now, is he realized when he was a year and
a half. Yeah, that's awesome.
Speaker 8 (16:47):
Trying to push him. He's got YouTube channel, writing his
own stuff and things like that. So, yeah, we just
saw Scott up in Philly. Uh what like a month
or two ago. It was pretty cool because the first show,
the first show was canceled and so we were up
in Philadelphia anyway, I was checking down my hotel when
I got a call from another friend letting us know
(17:07):
it was canceled. So we just met up at a
bar and we're hanging out with him the whole time,
went over to the casino and everything. It was really cool,
and then of course went back up when they did
the show a few weeks later, and uh, that was
really neat too, because it's the first time I've ever
you know, went to the bar with him and then
walked over to the venue with him. To right before
(17:28):
he was playing.
Speaker 6 (17:29):
So it's pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Dude, that's awesome. That's awesome.
Speaker 8 (17:34):
And is that is that the I'm a little confused
because I've known him since he was thirteen, and unless
his mother remarried, he doesn't.
Speaker 6 (17:40):
Have a brother.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
He did say step brother.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Oh that step brother?
Speaker 4 (17:46):
Oh okay, yeah, I thought the same thing, like this
smells fishy.
Speaker 8 (17:51):
The now I knew his sister too. Unfortunately, his sister
died of a brand and you're as m a few
years ago, so we started to.
Speaker 5 (17:57):
Hear that the all right, yeah, the hey, can I
can I back to this video we're watching him from
the show you were at, sir, where this is him
drumm and we won't get fooled again.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
When you saw him when you saw him in Philly,
was it was?
Speaker 1 (18:10):
It was that? The only was that the first time
you saw him drumming with the Who.
Speaker 6 (18:16):
With the Who?
Speaker 8 (18:17):
Yeah, because he did back in twenty thirteen. That was
having I believe it was tend to Night of Surgery, right,
and he played with the Who for a European tour
for it was a Quadrophenia.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Tour, correct, and that the highlight of that for.
Speaker 8 (18:30):
Him was Neil Peart Uh sent him a symbol congratulating
him on getting him dream job. Somewhere on my phone.
I have a picture of that symbol.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
My god.
Speaker 8 (18:39):
So yeah he got, he got, and Neil like one
of his obviously drumming heroes.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
That you know what that's like, Like that's like Rick
d is doing sweepers for the show.
Speaker 8 (18:51):
Yeah, he's the one of He's the one I kind
of well, my cousin, my cousin's and drummer also, but
between my cousin and Scott kind of got me into rush.
Speaker 11 (19:00):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (19:00):
You know, we listened to a lot of different stuff together.
But yeah, great guy, Hey when you usually first person
I ever smoked a weed with who.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Right on right on the but here here's what I
wanted to ask you.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
And like you said, he did the European tour and
that's fine, right, but seeing him in seeing him in
Philly was was the first time that you saw him
perform with the who is It? And obviously, listen, you
grew up with the guy. I believe you may have
smoked weed with the guy. You know that he's a drummer.
And he moved out to la and the whole thing
and the whole story. Is it still and you met
(19:31):
him at the bar and you walked over to the
venue at any point? Is it weird though to hear
babo O'Reilly or we won't get fooled again and look
up on stage and be like, oh my god, it's
my buddy.
Speaker 10 (19:42):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (19:42):
Yes, and no because we saw him.
Speaker 7 (19:45):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (19:45):
I've seen him twice with Roger Daltrey at Wolf Traps,
So I have seen him play with Roger.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Before, right, Okay, that's fair.
Speaker 8 (19:51):
And I've seen him. I've seen him play. I've seen
him play so many times. His step brother mentioned Oleander.
I've seen him with Oleander. I've seen him with a
band called Speaker of course bands in high school, growing up,
he's played at parties.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Okay, so you know what you are. You're the guy.
You're the guy that's bored of screwing the good looking woman. Yeah,
I get it, I get it.
Speaker 8 (20:11):
None of this is specially a very He is a
very very humble guy. So I did send him a
text message, but you know he's he's pretty modest. So
I don't know if you'll I don't know if i'll
hear back from him, but if I do, I'll let
him know you're looking for him.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Hey, I appreciate it. Thank you, my friend, Thank you, sir.
Speaker 8 (20:29):
Not a problem, you got it.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
There's the symbol.
Speaker 5 (20:32):
Yes, Scott has it on his Instagram. But do you
see the messaging is a little different than the caller said.
It's actually hilarious.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
Yeah, so this and this from Neil pert Peart to
Scott you stole my dream gig.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Wow, incredible, God, that is awesome.
Speaker 5 (20:58):
Now is squats on the line or it sounds like

boss turned out to be the laser guy for the
who He did all the laser shows.

are making headway.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
So we went from grew up with him and smoked

Speaker 4 (22:28):
I was reading a story yesterday about all about you
and kind of I didn't know your whole background obviously,
and how you like it was. It wasn't a very
long article, but an article that got me from you
go into uh, Middletown High School to ending up being
the drummer with with with the Who.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
It's fascinating to me.
Speaker 11 (22:51):
Yeah, that's the truncated version. There's a lot of misery
and struggling in between.
Speaker 7 (22:56):
Those two highlights or low lights.
Speaker 11 (22:58):
But yeah, I guess you know, that's that's the easy
way to put it. Started at Middletown, ended up with
the Who.
Speaker 6 (23:05):
Never would have expected that.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
The you know what part of the story I really
liked though, is so I'm reading about how old were
you so you graduate from school and obviously, like you're
you're into music and you're playing music and you're you're
kind of kicking around.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
How old were you when you packed up and moved
to LA.
Speaker 11 (23:26):
I think I was around twenty four to twenty five
years old, and I just I had tried right out
of high school at seventeen, eighteen years old. I threw
my drums in the car, moved to New York City
like a crazy person with no money, no place to say,
knew nothing, had no qualifications, didn't know anybody. I mean,
it was a terrible plan. And New York City ate
(23:46):
me alive. And then I tried to build up a
normal life and get a job and get a house
and get a four to one k and then all
of a sudden it just dawned on me like, oh,
if this is everything life has to offer, I'm not
going to be a happy person. So basically I just
got rid of everything, hopped in my car, drove my
drums to Los Angeles, and now I'm here talking to you.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
Yeah, I mean real, honestly, I mean everything else, like
everything else that happened, who oleander whatever?
Speaker 1 (24:17):
No, that's awesome though, the so but I love.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
That part of the story where you just realized, you
know what it's, it's the whole I never want I
never want a second guess myself and you or I
never want to play that game of what if And
you just said efitt and listen. It could have gone
the way of New York, right where the whole city
ate you alive and you didn't know what was going
to happen, and then you end up out there and
obviously it seems like it went pretty well.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
I love that part of the story.
Speaker 11 (24:48):
Yeah, when you read it just as highlights, it reads
pretty well, but there's a lot of struggle and going
nowhere and crappy gigs and you know, a lot of unemployed,
low low moment and you know, it's not like it's
all highlights, but that's life. You know. Sometimes sometimes it
all works out, and sometimes it's just a slog and
(25:09):
it's very difficult to stay positive for a lot of people.
It certainly was for me. But all of a sudden,
one little, you know, one little hookup, one little connection
to a person, one little gig led to this, led
to that, and then led to playing with someone who
played with Roger.
Speaker 6 (25:23):
Roger Daltrey right Who.
Speaker 11 (25:26):
And I played one Who song with him and a
friend of mine who played with Joe Walsh, and it
was just, you know, a little cover gig. And after
we played that Who song, my friend his name is
Frank Simes. I'll be indebted to him forever. He turned
to me and he was like, that was great. I'm
going to get you an audition with Roger. And of course,
you know, being from La, I actually was born in
(25:48):
La and then I had been there for fifteen years.
At that point, when someone says, hey, I know somebody. Hey,
I'm going to get you an audition. Hey, i know
somebody at Arista Records or whatever, they say, you hear
that about a hundred times, and ninety nine times out
of one hundred that they're just talking right right, So
I guess I didn't take him very seriously when he
said that. So really, what I was trying to do is,
(26:10):
you know, remain humble because I felt really good about
playing that one Whose song and I thought that's as.
Speaker 6 (26:15):
Far as it would go.
Speaker 11 (26:16):
So when he said he'd get me an audition with Roger,
I know I gave him the impression of like, yeah, sure,
and I didn't mean it like that.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
I was just trying to stay cool. And he's like, no,
I'm really.
Speaker 11 (26:26):
Gonna I'm really gonna get you an audition.
Speaker 6 (26:28):
I was like, well, you know, thanks for saying that.
Speaker 11 (26:30):
He's like, you don't believe me, do you?
Speaker 1 (26:33):
No?
Speaker 6 (26:33):
No, I totally believe you.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Believe me.
Speaker 11 (26:35):
I trust every word that you say is true.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
I just you know, you don't want to.
Speaker 6 (26:38):
Get your hopes up.
Speaker 11 (26:39):
Yeah, especially with a legend like Roger So And fast
forward to now and now I'm playing with The Who,
which is insane.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Doesn't it like you know what?
Speaker 4 (26:48):
And I mean, listen, it's it's not like you've done like,
oh I did one show and I'm done.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
It still has to unless and you're I can tell you.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
This in the in the five minutes we've we've been talking,
you're a far more humble person than I am.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
It still has to It still has to feel weird
to say. And now I'm drumming with the Who, it
still has to sound weird.
Speaker 11 (27:12):
It does again, I really don't think it's set in.
I mean you have to also imagine, you know, Zach Starkey,
who's Rego star Son. Everyone in the Who world knows
Who that is. Probably everyone in the world knows who
that is. He's he'd been playing with The Who for
about thirty years, and you know, he's one of my heroes.
He's one of the most incredible drummers ever and next
(27:34):
to Keith Moon, he's my favorite.
Speaker 9 (27:35):
Drummer and The Who.
Speaker 11 (27:37):
So we all know the whole public thing that went
on with you know, him no longer playing with the Who.
So that was a whole complicated mindfield of emotions. And
I don't mean to make that about me, but as
far as my part in this with him no longer
playing with them, which is as a Hoo fan for myself,
I'm sad, right, I'm sad for him, I'm sad for them.
(27:58):
And then, of course, you know, I learned about playing
with The Who from a post, an Instagram post from
Pete Cats and Who just he just put it on
his Instagram. Scott will be joining us on our you know,
our farewell tour, FA farewell Us tour.
Speaker 4 (28:13):
Wait a minute, Scott, that's how you found out you
got the job.
Speaker 11 (28:19):
I know that sounds like I'm making that up, but
my wife can attest to this. I had come home
from a few Roger shows a few fly dates, and
I was, you know, it's back to life as usual.
And I'm scooping the cat poop and throwing the trash
and putting the cans down for recycling. And then all
of a sudden, my phone starts blowing up and I
get a message from a dear friend of mine, the
(28:41):
violinist Katie Jacobi, who plays with The Who and she
also plays with Roger, and she was like, hey, congrats.
I'm like, oh, well cool, thanks for what He's like
the post she wrote the post, I was like, Washington Post,
what are you talking about.
Speaker 6 (28:58):
I had no idea what she was talking about.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
She's like, no, Pete.
Speaker 11 (29:02):
I'm like Pete Who. She's like, Pete Townsend's just mentioned
you on Instagram. Of course, my wife knows that I'm
terrible with Instagram. I barely even know Facebook at this point.
So I go sprinting up the steps and she walked
out of her office and I throw.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
My phone to her and I was like.
Speaker 11 (29:20):
Make Instagram work up, and she's like, oh my god,
you're playing with WHO. And that's how I found out.
Speaker 6 (29:26):
Dude.
Speaker 4 (29:26):
That's awesome. That's awesome. By the way, Tyler just pulled
up the Pete Townsend post and yeah, there it is.
After many years of great work on drums from Zach,
the time has come for a change, a poignant time.
Zach has lots of new projects in hand, and I
wish him the best. Scott Devers, who has worked with
(29:48):
Roger solo band, will join the Who for our final shows.
Please welcome him, all right, very good, well welcome.
Speaker 11 (29:57):
And the funny thing is, like I said, I didn't
know Instagram well from the time that Katie had texted
me that, I just kept getting these notifications like somebody
following you, following you, following I mean just hundreds of
people just following me. I didn't even know what that meant. Why,
And then of course I realized Pete Townsands just said
I've got my dream gig.
Speaker 6 (30:17):
But you know, he just said it publicly and.
Speaker 11 (30:19):
I've never even got a call, and I'm like, okay, yes,
I'm doing it now.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
I want you to be honest with me, like the
like you said, like you you were with with uh
with Roberts well Roger, excuse me, I'd call him ro
Roger Daltrey's like his band and doing his thing. Were
you were you when you played your first WHO show?
Were you were you scared?
Speaker 11 (30:44):
No, it's it's counterintuitive to say this, or it might
even come up egotistical, and I certainly don't mean it
that way. But playing drums or you know, anyone who
does what they do where they feel comfortable, or does
something that they think they do well, that gives you,
you know, a little bit of self confidence. It gives
you a sense of your self awareness. Growing up, I
(31:08):
was really really uh, you know, paranoid, and it was
hard to talk to I'm even way more. I'm way
more nervous talking to you right now on the radio
than I am sitting behind, you know, the drums with
Pete and Rodge in front of twenty thousand people. If
you put sticks in my hand and you put me
out on stage, I just don't get nervous.
Speaker 6 (31:29):
It's just where I feel comfortable. Now.
Speaker 11 (31:31):
If you put a microphone in front of my face
and make me talk to a million people like you're
doing right now.
Speaker 6 (31:38):
That.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
I could appreciate that. I get that. That makes sense
to me. That makes sense to me.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Yeah, So what where are you now? Where am I
catching you now?
Speaker 11 (31:50):
My wife and I you know, we have our touch
away country place down in Virginia, and then we come
up to DC all the time. Her father lives in Bethesda.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Oh wow, and.
Speaker 11 (32:02):
He's older now, so we go up there all the time.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
She's there right now.
Speaker 11 (32:06):
And then we also basically consider ourselves New Yorkers, so
we split our time between those three places where we're
very lucky.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
Well that who money buys a couple of houses, done it?
Speaker 6 (32:17):
No coment.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
Hey, last last thing.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
The other thing that we saw that was awesome is
you're you're you're. One of your buddies had had called
us and was telling us the symbol that you got
autographed from Neil Peart.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
Dude, that's freaking awesome.
Speaker 11 (32:37):
Oh my god, wow, who I didn't you know, I'm
not local right now, so I didn't get to hear
any of these people calling in all a side note,
For a second, while I was waiting on hold, all
I heard was I smoked pot with him when the
same guy let me just say, whoever called that in?
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Fake call?
Speaker 7 (32:54):
Fake call? Anyway, anyway, I'm sorry, I.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Totally forgot your question. No, no, the symbol, the symbol
from Neil Peart.
Speaker 6 (33:05):
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 11 (33:07):
That So this is gonna sound confusing. But I had
actually played with the Who before this farewell tour. Right
in twenty thirteen, Zach had a flare up with his tendonitis.
Ne had to take some time off while they were
touring Quadrophenia, and that's a whole another story. I don't
even need to go into that. So I had played
with them twenty thirteen twenty fourteen for about ten or
(33:28):
fifteen shows, which was incredible, life changing, extremely difficult, because
you know, Quadraphenia is quite a complicated thing. And back then,
this is obviously when Neil was I think he was
even still touring with Rush. I had I think I
only had two weeks to get ready for that Quadrapenia tour,
(33:49):
and so I had called my my my symbol rap
At Saban Symbols who have been with for years and
fantastic Christian Stanky, my amazing guy. I called him and
he's like, yeah, yeah, we got you whatever you need here,
you know. Oh And he said at the end of
the phone call, he's like, oh uh, check your check
(34:09):
for a FedEx tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
I'm like, oh, okay.
Speaker 11 (34:10):
And then I went back to studying and trying to
get ready for Quadrophenia. And then the next day I
get the FedEx. It's a little tiny package. It's a
little eight inch a ten inch splash symbol and it
was Neil Peart's signature Paragon Sabian Line, and he just
so happened to be sitting. He's friends with, or he
(34:33):
was friends with, Chris at Sabians. They have a very
close relationship and they're actually they were very close friends.
But I didn't know when I called Chris that he
was having lunch with Neil Pears. So he got off
the phone apparently shared that with him, like, oh, this guy,
he's going to be playing with the who. So Neil
incredibly generously hand wrote a message on one of his splashmbles.
(34:56):
This actually gets me a little emotional, and it said
congrat So I'm stealing.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
My dream gig.
Speaker 11 (35:02):
Right, that's awesome, And he signed it and he sent
it to me and it was absolutely the most touching
thing ever. I still it's one of the only things
to have on my wall.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
That's amazing. That's amazing. All right, So listen, Scott, here's
what I want to do.
Speaker 4 (35:17):
I would offer you a shirt, but that sounds kind
of lame coming off of the Neil Peart symbols, So
we'll just leave that. But hold tight one second. The
I promise we won't abuse the number.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
But the I'm so glad that you called. I'm so
pleased that you called.
Speaker 11 (35:34):
Oh, thank you so much, and thank you for wasting
time on air with me.
Speaker 4 (35:39):
No, it's awesome. I love the story. Hey, hold tight
one second, all right, Scott, Yeah, you got it, you
got it. Hold on one second.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
Oh my god, how awesome is that?
Speaker 2 (35:48):
Amazing?
Speaker 1 (35:49):
How awesome is that?
Speaker 2 (35:51):
It just seems like such a good guy.
Speaker 4 (35:52):
Yeah, are you not a little egotistical, little little full
of himself?
Speaker 1 (35:59):
Yeah. I think it's a bigger deal than he does.
