(00:03):
Three months street experience in downtown LasVegas. This is Living Las Vegas.
Got Tony Ice and Mojoe, andover the weekend we were all just partying
it up at the Lovers and FriendsFestival. Drive by it, Did you
see you, guys? I sawour guy minus out there. I was
kind of got a little bit likefomo like man. I would have liked
(00:24):
using a few of those acts.That did look like a great show it.
You actually went by it. Idrove by it. We were driving
by it to go somewhere else.Yeah, I heard it was solid.
They didn't have any issues. NowFire two. There were some issues,
I guess Friday night over at theSkate Rock City, which is where I
had my daughter's thirteenth birthday party inFebruary. Chris Brown rented it out because
(00:47):
it was his birthday. And youguesses how old he was? Uh was
he like thirty three? Close thirtyfour? Yeah? He so ussure was
there. Chris Brown was there.Obviously was closed to the public through Chris
Brown. This skating party, Ohyeah he did. I'm sorry. Yeah,
he threw Chris Brown the skating partsinsult to injury because the words were
thrown usher got into it with ChrisBrown and his people. They ended up.
(01:11):
This is rumors. Nothing's confirmed withphotos, but the rumor was that
he bloodied them up a little bitand Chris Brown, Chris Brown's people did
to Usher and Usher keep mind,keep in mind, he threw him that
party, he invited him to playLovers and Friends, um, and this
was the night before Usher still madeit out on stage. I don't know
where they stand as far as beingcool at this point, but interesting that
(01:33):
that happened. I think we settleit with the verses are you up on
versus r Tony? These? Uh, these online battles between two heavy hitters
in the hip hop community. Theydo these one little battles. It was
big during the pandemic. They've kindof tapered off. But Chris Brown versus
Usher has been one that people havebeen wanting for years. And now that
there's looks like some real beef,maybe that can become a thing. I
(01:56):
don't know. I think a lotof people will be into that. It's
just crazy, dude. I mean, and Tmzer ordered it, so it
has to be true. But Iwant to know what was it about.
But Chris Brown seems to have thiskind of track record where he's always into
something, always hitting someone, andit's like, dude, give it a
ron time it is drunk. Youknow that we all have that one friend.
I think we can all relate tothis. I have that one friend.
Anytime he shows up, you knowsomething's gonna get something's gonna go down.
(02:20):
He's especially when alcohol is involved.I think Chris Brown is that friend
and people just need to recognize thatcoming in then Chris Brown's areon is gonna
be alcoholic. I'm not a ChrisBrown fan. I appreciate usher. I
can't believe we're still talking about ChrisBrown. Somehow keeps getting absolved of all
of these things over years and years, and here we are in twenty twenty
three and he's still a topic ofconversation. Like I'd rather not even be
(02:44):
talking about him. When you saidMusher through Chris Brown, Like if you
just ended the sentence there and didn'tadd a party, I would have been
fine with it. I got nolove for that guy, and I feel
like no friends. Wo. Howfunny is it that that was? And
that's my opect for my overall pointwith all this is even though the drama
(03:08):
occurred. USh, you're still aman who's all about his business, and
he still handled it and didn't youknow, there's rumors he wasn't going to
go on Saturday at his own festivalbecause of this beef. So I'm curious
if either of them have responded tothis yet. I don't think I've seen
either of them say anything about thesituation. Hey, may not. Maybe
they'll save it for the verses.We can hope. Hey, this reminds
(03:30):
me of the time you and RyanSeacrest got into a backstage at our iHeartRadio
Music Festival. It's true, itwas. It was over a bowl of
tofu. No way, are youbeing serious? Oh you guys, I
didn't know who. We were allbetting on who we thought would win that
one. It was difficult for me. I went with Ryan, but it
was close. That's fair, althoughI think I double his weight class um
(03:54):
because I'm a big boy and he'snot from Mojo. And there's no drama
that you're obviously joking. There's neverany drama at our iHeartRadio Music Festival.
You know that good kind is theregood drama. There's good anticipation about the
collaborations that can come and it's notUsher in Chris Brown fires. They have
both played iHeartRadio Music Festival in thepast. Chris Brown has and I believe
(04:16):
I looked it up twenty sixteen.Okay, so it's been a while.
But Usher played it during the pandemictwenty twenty and twenty twenty one. I
believe sounds right. Um, well, maybe he's playing this year. We
don't know. We haven't announced thelineup. However we do. It's September
twenty first, twenty second or third, that Friday Saturday in September. Um.
(04:38):
And if you're a Capital one cardholder, you don't have to wait for
US announced tickets. You can announcethe lineup. You can go get tickets
right tomorrow at ten am for twentyfour hours only. You get first shot.
So if you want to sit,you know in in Section two,
forty, row B, seat five, you can get that seat because that
was your first shot at tickets.Um. And if you're not, you
(04:59):
can wait till Thursday for the twentyfour hour on sale for the general public.
So that's Tomorrow, Wednesday, yes, ten ten am Capital one Early
on sale and then Thursday morning atten is when it transfers over and it
becomes everybody. Is it weird?When you said May tenth, I had
to look at today's date, wasI right? Yeah? Yes, I
just I can't believe it's May already. Any any predictions as to who we're
(05:21):
going to have, we don't.None of us know anything, right,
I have no knowledge. I betthere is an artist that does pop music.
I'tually there's gonna be some adm inthere. I bet a country artist
and probably a maybe maybe it's somerock. Yeah, I mean from the
eighties and seventies. Put somebody inthere, and Coldplay the same thing.
(05:46):
By the way. I saw Coldplayfor the first time at Ihart Festival a
couple of years ago, and itwas every year, that's how good they
are. By the way, thatwas the I mean that lineup every year
has been great. That was agreat lineup. It blew my mind and
maybe it shouldn't have. Obviously coldPlays a massive international band, but people
got more excited over cold Play thananyone else that nobody from every walk.
(06:09):
My daughter was with me when wesaw so the last time cold Play was
here was this two years ago.The last time they were at our festival.
My daughter went in and with theside eye about cold Play like I'm
not going to really like the coldPlay part, but see the rest.
But she was on the cold Playlike she was like, oh, they're
much better than I expected that theywould be. She knew all the songs,
(06:30):
so you want to That's one ofthose things where you're like, maybe
i'd love it, but then youactually do love it. Yeah. The
lineup is always iconic. I meanin years past, I think my favorite
to everyone from Weezer to Morgan Wallento Billie Eilish. I mean, yeah,
it's crazy the artist and it's alwaysthe people who are at the top
of their game. Every year,it's gonna be a festival, you're gonna
want to be at two nights,a T Mobile arena, and there's always
(06:51):
somebody that you're again that brings youback to your youth and in a way
that you weren't expecting to be sointo. Like last true when Pat Benatar
was on stage and Neil Giraldo,I think people knew, all right,
Pat benatarma gonna know some of thosethings. They didn't expect to really feel
the party during the Pat Benatar set, but man, that place was in
(07:13):
a great mood for Pat Benatar.Same thing happened was Skinnered a couple of
years ago. You're like skinnered,all right, I mean you know skin
but man, people were on theirfeet. They were loving it and singing
every every song to every every lyricto every song. So that's the party
we throw. I'm excited about.Maybe we can get Chris Brown enough you're
to come do the versus live atit. I mean maybe, but you
can. Maybe Morgan Waller will beoff a vocal wrest sneak out to the
(07:36):
bar at the Chris Brown set.That's my Yeah, that that's your cue.
Yeah, I like this. Iheard what you're saying. Yeah.
Maybe Aerosmith because they're doing the Goodbyetour. Have they played before they played?
It happened. I was at anArrowsmith iHeartRadio Music Festival, probably the
only one. We had Aerosmith andbon Jovi on that same weekend, and
(07:59):
it was an incredible weekend. Thisis going back ten years. I don't
even know, yeah, something likethat. This is our thirteenth years in
a while. It's been a whileand Aerosmith has had you know, obviously
the residency here, which I wouldexpect they're going to come back and do
another round to that. But andthey're doing this whole tour that they just
announced. So I love the ideathat Arrowsmith would play. I think that's
a bucket list for me. Hey, Tom, John, Bob, we
(08:20):
know to listen to our podcasts insidejoke for people who don't know they're head
guys at iHeart. Maybe we canwork on Aerosmith. I would love to
be perfect and Sharon would be cool. And Sharon, who's going to play

moved out of Vegas. Still alittle salty about that, however. Tickets
