But in all of our adult lives, I mean, we've
known you guys. And I was just trying to reminisce
back to like the first time my Striker and I
haven't talked about this, but I think I met you guys.
Speaker 5 (01:11):
At HF Festival.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Maybe I don't know if you were called ninety nine
to back then, So it's that you guys just started
and in my mind of like thinking back to you
two young guys and so much that you've done and
what you've accomplished.
Speaker 5 (01:27):
It's crazy, guys, it's a whole it's crazy. Because we
were just saying this when talking with Lisa. It's a lifetime,
you know, you live a lifetime, you know, it's like
it's a lifetime, like they that I have like really
fond memories of that, but sometimes like someone will will
will remind me of something. Oh yeah, oh my god,
cause it's like a lifetime. In the nineties is like
(01:50):
to my kids who are teenagers, is like this historic, right,
so wild the nineties is like vintage to us cool,
but yeah, you're closer to.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Your age then back then that you are now.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
To that, right, But to me, nineteen ninety nine feels
like it was seven years ago, it really. And when
I we just played the anthem good Charlotte Is with
us Benji and Joel, when you just heard that song
through our radio speakers in here, Joel, what holds up
what feeling it does. But what feelings did you have
hearing it?
Speaker 5 (02:22):
Joyful? Yeah, I'm always happy to hear that song because
we were just kids and we were just spitting it out.
You know, we didn't we didn't think about anything to
run forward and write song. There was no responsibility. Yeah,
so I like that song. It holds up, it's got
that still got the same energy and it does. I
love to hear it. I love to play it. We
(02:42):
love to play live too.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Well.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Listen, we've got a whole hour with these guys. We're
gonna bug them about everything. They've picked some songs and
some artists for us to play.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Okay, twenty one Pilots is the next band we're gonna play.
Benji or Joel take it away on why you want
to hear these guys and what you know about it?
Speaker 5 (02:58):
So asking about sort of playing things like adjacent or
sort of connected to sort of the scene that we're from.
I love these I feel like these were some These
were some kids that came out who have now grown up.
You know, they're going through the same thing we went through.
But they always sort of pushed the limits of what
the what the genre, like they really bucked against like
(03:19):
being in a genre. And I think they continue to
do that. And I just love it when I see
people do that, when I see artists do that. So
I love twenty one pilots.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Let's play twenty one pilots. Hang out with us, Benji
and Joel, the Maddens are here, of Good Charlotte. We'll
play some of their music, we'll talk about other music
and whatever else we stumble upon Booker and Striker. It
is ninety eight seven, Booker and Striker.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
All right, Booker and Striker and good Charlotte.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Benji and Joel hanging out with us this afternoon playing.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
I love that song. Yeah, Like to me, if you were,
if you were like opening a time capsule of like
what is like quintessential like pop punk, like that was
like peak. That was the peak, like sort of like
really cracked wide open like pop punk is like on
the map. And I love those guys, love the You know,
we love Blink.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
And that's Benji speaking right there. Joel, did you take
them out?
Speaker 5 (04:12):
Said any time?
Speaker 4 (04:13):
I know? Or did you or did they take you?
Speaker 5 (04:15):
We never took Blink out. We we went we played
shows with Blink. We've never actually properly gone out on
tour together. We would, but we played shows with them.
We opened for them a couple of times, and like
these one off type, Yeah, that's the reverse striker. They
would take us out just like let's let's I'm aure.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Is it like a high school reunion when you, I
don't know, play with some of these guys see them.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
Oh my god. It's it's always like memories and also
a lot of catching up because everybody grows up and
it's really nice. Yeah, it's really nice.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
Coming out on eight eight will be your eighth full
length studio album, album number eight. Is it fully done?
Speaker 5 (05:01):
It's totally done, totally mixed in Motel Do cap.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Motel do cap so Booker and I have been somewhat
nervous because we didn't want to.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
We were like, is this some sort of French thing
that we don't know what it is? We have no
idea is that.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
What it is? Have you ever have you ever heard
of Eating Rock Hotel? You cap at Eating Rock. So
it's a very it's fancy old kind of like it's
where all the super yachts get docked and then everybody
goes in and you know, they hang at Eden Rock
or people stay at Hotel do Cap. Well, we ended
up playing a wedding there for for our little sister
(05:39):
getting married and and well my wife's little sister who
is my I've what we've been with her since she's
I've known her since she was seven.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
Were the wedding band.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
Yeah, we very special. We haven't played in years. We
hadn't played in years, and it was it was one
of those nights. That was the greatest night. You know
those nights where you're just like, God, that's a that
I'll remember that. It's one of the greatest nights of
my life. Everyone was so happy, all people we love
and then literally that at that night, we said the
(06:10):
whole band was together and we were like, should we sure
wreck an album? So yeah, when we left that, when
we left that trip, we just did it, just started
marinating and then Joel's like, I really, actually I'm feeling it.
I think we should make a record. So when we
were naming the album, like what's the name of this record?
And we were thinking when in the world, like, if
you've been to Hotel do Cap it's like one of
the nicest hotels in the world, you would good Charlotte
(06:32):
would never play that right there. Right, so we're like, well, well,
where did you know this album sort of started? It
was sort of conceived at so we could so what
about Motel do Cap. That's more sounds like something we
would play. We would play in the empty swimming pool
behind Motel du Right, So we were like, that's the
name of the record.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
How was your vibe on the stage? By the way,
did did you guys fall right back into it when
you were.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
It's like riding a bike? Yeah? I mean, well, yeah,
we play they were all old songs, you know, he
hadn't written anything yet, and it was just it was
it was really it was like playing a friend's basement
or something joyful. Well, all with all of our families
there and it was it was great.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
So Rejects is the story brand It's a great story.
By the way, thanks for sharing that. Rejects is the
brand new song. We got it, I guess yesterday we've
been playing it like crazy. Joel and Benji are here
from Good Charlotte. Let's play Rejects. But give us one cent?
Speaker 5 (07:27):
Have you guys been playing it on the radio?
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Yesayed it like every hour yesterday we were blessing.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
Make us feel like a kid again.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
Yeah, man, so give us one sentence or two sentences, as.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Many as they want.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
Let them give us. There here utes, let's go.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
Rejects is a song about you know. It's like it's
it's rejects. Like the line in the song is all
my friends are rejects. They all love me, but they
don't really know me yet. I think it's a self
esteem song. I think it's like it's like the battle
between yourself and yourself and and uh, feeling like a
(08:08):
reject I think sometimes and at the end of the day,
it's it's it could sound negative, it's not negative at all.
The line sometimes I wish I wasn't born at all.
I think you can say that it sounds dark, but
it's something that we all have a feeling sometimes feeling
whatever that feeling is. And in the end, I think
(08:29):
it's just to learn how to be yourself and love yourself. Yeah,
and love your friends. Because the all rejects.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Is this the first time everybody feels like summarized this
song because that was pretty good for Yeah.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
The first time I've ever had to explain it, so
I didn't have anything prepared. But I think it's just
well I think, yeah, it's like we all feel like
rejects sometimes. Let's just play it in.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Charlotte, just here with Booker and Striker. This is the
brand new song Rejects. It is all ninety eight seven
Booker and Striker.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
All right, book and Striker, and good Charlotte with us.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
We just learned something new about the new album while
just talking to the guys off the air. It was
recorded like right here, Striker, like down the street.
Speaker 5 (09:09):
They have offices.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Burbank Burbank representing Burbank Studio and Studios. Benji and Joel
Madden just selected that song from Rancid Guys.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
Classic What that's a classic?
Speaker 4 (09:22):
The best. Those guys are amazing. They should be at
least nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
Should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame,
no doubt about it.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
Guys, you've been working with bands for a long time.
You've been through it yourselves. What is the biggest mistake
you think young bands make, whether it's in twenty twenty
five or in nineteen ninety nine, And is it the
same thing after all these years.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
We were just talking about this, Actually, yeah, they I
think what happens is you have to allow yourself to win.
You have to allow yourself to aspire to dream, and
I think sometimes self esteem can get in the way sometimes,
you know, band kids, I think we all have something
in common it all. There's very few I think, like
songwriters and band kids that are just like that are
(10:07):
coming from like the most stable like life position. Now, however,
there's there's the exception. There are definitely huge disconnect There's
no call for that kind of line. Right's luddy, vulgar
and abusive language. That's an automatic disconnect.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
You've got a dirty porush mouth.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
Working stuff out, you know, in our music. So it's
like coming from a garage and then going to the
biggest stages in the world can do a number on
your head. So I think sometimes we have to, you know,
help ourselves through that. But sometimes you see people they
have all the talent, but they get in their own
way and they can't take in the wind and they
can't keep going forward, or people they crash it, or
(10:46):
people they quit, you know, because it's hard.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
The same thing easier now or does it make it
harder because of the technology. When we were younger, I
don't think we had the tools and I know, you
didn't to have the tools to make music at your
fingertips so easily, and then you have kids that maybe
don't know a lot about the road or going out
to perform their music. Is there you see a lot
of that.
Speaker 5 (11:09):
Yeah, well I think it there's good and bad to both.
You could say that it was more pure back in
the nineties, but I don't know if it was. I
think that I just accept the reality we live in.
So whether I understand it completely social media stuff like that,
or how to promote music, I better learn how to,
(11:30):
so I think you but but you learn from from
we get to work with younger artists, and I just
think it's what's what will stand true through every decade,
regardless of how the formats change, regardless of what tools
are you know, new tools invented, whatever, creative young creative
people will find anything at their disposal to create with,
(11:53):
and the really special ones will create something that we
all take notice of, and it'll just continue. To me,
that's just a that's the thing that stays. Bands, good
songs always always make it up. Yeah, so it'll that'll
never change. I think there'll always be a new band
making incredible music that making New Classics.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
Speaking of a song that we think is a classic,
and I believe you two requested it on our should
today it's Benji and Joel Madden with Booker and Striker
teenage Dirtbag from Weedst Babes. Let's play that song and
why do you want to hear it? Well?
Speaker 5 (12:23):
First of all, it's one of the greatest anthem classic
classic and we just had Brendan come and do Welcome
to Rockville with us and we played this song and
it went off. But it's a song we love. I
always think it's one of the great songs of our time.
Let's play that classic.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Benji and Joel are with us for this entire two
o'clock hour. No agenda will find out if they're playing
Learn a.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
Lot JU ninety seven. Do you have a question for
the guys Booker and Striker?
Speaker 1 (12:54):
All right.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Here they are good. Charlotte on with Booker Striker this
whole hour on all ninety age seven. How you guys doing,
how you feel great?
Speaker 5 (13:03):
Great?
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (13:04):
Thanks for playing our music. How are we doing? How
are you doing? I mean, listen, you guys are killing it.
You guys are so this is our credible our first
radio interview and I don't know how long, probably come
on at least yeah. Yeah, So it's just nice to
be with you guys, you know, get to get the
rest of old.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
Friends hanging out. We are live live. There's no take
backs right now anything, So it's great.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
So we're you know what I mean, You gotta get
you just got to get back and swing.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
I like that.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
We're your training wheels. Love it back into things.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
What a nice way to go into it.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Are you planning on a show here in Los Angeles?
A you're gonna play for us?
Speaker 5 (13:41):
So we are where as we sort of roll out
the record where we'll be announcing things to all the
shows that we're going can't expect for the remainder of
this year and next year, we'll have a lot of
things to announce, uh with the album.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Well, let me ask one more thing about that. What
kind of spaces are you wanting to play? Are you
a band that wants to maybe keep it a little
smaller intimate or you like it? Hey man, let's get
on a big stage.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
The small the small shows are fun and to do those,
We'll always break off and do a small show whenever
we can. Here's the problem we now as opposed to
when we were like twenty one or twenty two. We
have you know, we started a company twelve years ago.
We started another company sort of six years ago. Those
(14:29):
things have all grown sort of more maybe you know,
they've taken on a life of their own. We have
a lot of responsibilities with that. So with the band,
we we this is like we absolutely are excited to
be back where we are balancing between family other I mean, yeah, well,
we're gonna play as many shows as possible. We will,
but we also have to play places where we say
(14:50):
we can't do ten shows. We have to play shows
that everybody can come.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
So you're saying someone has to probably a little bit
from schools still exactly exactly.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
Benji and Joe Maddener here and let me brag for
them when they say they started some companies. They are
doing incredibly well. They manage artists like Poppy bad Omens,
Chase Atlantic, right yeah, and Veeps. They are co CEOs
of Veeps. And if you've streamed a live music show concert,
that's the Madam Brothers right here. Like you are entrepreneurs.
(15:21):
What congrats on everything?
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Thank you.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
It sounds great. It really is the amazing people we
work with at MDD, and it takes a incredible group
of people that manage incredible artists, and these artists took
a chance on this company. They believe in this company
and the people at the company. We are a part
of the team there. Same with Veeps. We get to
work with incredible people and incredible artists. So it's fun
(15:45):
to say we started it, but at the end of
the day, it's these incredible people that work their asses
often and it's amazing to see what it's become and
what it continues to grow. I think I think Beeps
is the new MTV. It's turning into that, and I
think that we're just excited. It's interesting because when you
think back to all the years, I think sometimes we
forget about a lot of things in the past because
(16:05):
we're so excited about the future. It's amazing to feel
that excited still, to like feel like you haven't like
it's your first day, like you haven't done anything, like
you're just And I think we get to do that
because getting to work with bad omens right to me,
that's like one of the most exciting bands in the world.
It's like, yeah, architects is a band I love and
I'm very close with the singer Sam and so we
(16:27):
get to have these really amazing relationships with artists on
their own journeys and we get to chase Atlantic just
sold out two nights at O two Arena and they
said it out in like ten or fifteen minutes, right,
So it feels for us, it feels like we're on
that ride for the first time and it's incredible. So
it really makes us feel like it's our first day.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
Do you guys have a boardroom and stuff?
Speaker 5 (16:48):
No, No, nothing like that. We have a studio. Okay,
our whole is all in studios. Suit, this is my suit.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Okay, you know, wear suit. That'd be funny.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
But when you know, when I'm dressing up just depending
on the chain. Oh really, that's like I just wanted
to show making an effort, you know. So it's like
a little makeup, right.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
I have a question for Benji and Joel Madden, so
booker and striker, when we have guests, well, you know,
we'll be in our office in the other room and
have a two minute huddle like who's going to start off?
Then what are we going to do next? And then
we're done. Do you guys do that same thing?
Speaker 5 (17:20):
No smart? Yes, yeah, yeah, Like maybe I think you
could throw us into any situation and we'll just you know,
but in most things in life, we huddle up, we run.
We can run a no huddle offense very well, all right,
a long time. But I think the huddle is smart.
(17:41):
The huddle smart.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (17:43):
Yeah, that just means you guys take it seriously, show up.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Let's huddle up and talk about Turnstile. This is a
band that you guys chose.
Speaker 5 (17:51):
Perfect example. We're talking about the new bands that are
doing things when we say, you, you know, how are
all these kids gonna make music? And how are they?
How is the thing going to continue on? Right? Turnstall
is a great exact example of a modern band making
classic records, in my opinion, and also from Maryland, which
we are. We're from Maryland, so uh, they represent themselves
(18:12):
so well and they make amazing records.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Never enough is Turnstyle. Good charlottees with booker and striker
and a ninety eight.
Speaker 5 (18:18):
Seven booker and striker.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
All right, some forty one booker and striker, good Charlotte
in the studio with us and you know, playing those
guys they just called it quits. You're a band that
can never really call it quits, can you.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
Well, we don't have to. We take so much time
on such long breaks, we don't have to quit. But
we actually got to go to the Juno's and present
some forty one with their Hall of Fame honors in Canada.
So it was amazing to be a part of that.
And we toured so much together back in the day.
(18:53):
They and that song classic music from them. So we
celebrate some forty one, and you know, are they really retired.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
All the time, We don't think they're really We think
they're retired, Yes, exactly.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
They'll be bored at home and they'll you know, Derek's
gonna be walking around in the circle. He'll fix everything
at his house. He'll tinkered with every piece of music
and he'd be like, you know, what got cone, what
are you doing? Let's go back on the road.
Speaker 5 (19:19):
They like to rock too much, they do.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
And they are great live all right, Benji and Joeler
Here our text line is two two nine eighty seven.
So many texts are flying in with questions for you.
This says, when I was a kid, your music made
me feel like I was part of Good Charlotte, green hair,
smudged eyeliner, screaming lifestyles of the.
Speaker 5 (19:36):
Rich and Famous.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
How does it feel looking back on that song, which
you guys just played on ALL ninety eight seven. Do
you ever think, dang, we're actually rich and famous now?
Speaker 5 (19:46):
I think the point of the song was that we
were saying, we'll take we'll take it, but we hoped
for it. Mission accomplished more than anything. When I hear
a text like that makes me feel like, these are
the people that made the music. So I feel incredibly
grateful and it feels special that someone would remember it
the same way I do, because it is those kids
(20:09):
that made our music matter at all.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
We're doing old school here as we go to the phones,
remember those.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
Things, old school radio.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
Maggie's on the phone. She has a question for Benji
and Joel of Good Charlotte.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Go ahead, Maggie, Oh my gosh, Hi, Benjie and Joel,
Glyn Booker and Striker. I don't have a question. I
just want to say thank you so much for all
of the amazing music and memories. When I was a kid,
I was eleven years old. My sister and I knew
every line to your songs, and my mom got to
take my sister and her my older sister and her
friends to a concert in my hometown in Pittsburgh, and
(20:42):
I begged my mom to go, and she wouldn't let me.
She said, it's just for the older kids to have fun.
And so when I turned sixteen, my sister surprised me
with tickets to your shows at the House of Blues,
so we just had the best time. You guys are amazing.
Thank you so much, and also congratulations on being our
father now that.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
You're so sweet, sound great, Thank you.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Thank you, Maggie. What a good call.
Speaker 5 (21:11):
You know. I got to say, that's most of the
interactions we get to have in you know, restaurants or
airports or you know, wherever we go in the world.
It's just really nice, the stories. And I think every
time we make a record, this one included, I think
we always have a moment where we kind of just
try to imagine someone out there listening in their headphones,
and it really makes us happy to just put things
(21:33):
into the world that, you know, feel that way.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Okay, let's play some good Charlotte. This to me is
one of the favorite lyrics, not even of yours. Of
like all time, girls don't like boys and cars and money,
the whole thing.
Speaker 5 (21:47):
Who thought of that when you when you commentary really
is it's not necessarily But I remember, but I remember
when we when we wrote that you do. Yeah, we
we we went out we were in la we didn't
live in l A yet and someone said you should
go to this club. And we went to go to
the club and they didn't let us in it and
(22:08):
we can get in. So we looked around at all
the people getting into the club and we realized it
was a very big difference. There was a through line.
They seem to have, they seem to have something. There
was something there was never seen a Ferrari before. There
was a Ferrari out there, you know. And that's the
amazing thing. I think a lot of times you forget
in l A. People realize, you know, at least where
(22:31):
we grew up right and we know each other a
long time, Like there's not like a Rolls Royce or
a Ferrari or a Lamborghini anywhere anywhere. You don't see it.
So that was a bit overwhelming when we first were
out here making this record. That was a bit overwhelming.
And I think that through line. It was just just so.
I think we're sort of social commentary every now and then,
just a little a thought.

Adult male twins. Yeah, yeah, I like the funny thing.
It's a strange thing, right, It's funny that he pointed
out that you guys, these guys are But it's a
funny thing though to be say adult. No, but I'm
saying as like, as like adult male twins. It's a
it's a thing, right, you know, it's an interesting thing.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
No, it's a I think it's a thing because we
love it.
Speaker 5 (00:55):
I mean we've met our whole life, but it's a thing.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
But in all of our adult lives, I mean, we've
known you guys. And I was just trying to reminisce
back to like the first time my Striker and I
haven't talked about this, but I think I met you guys.
Speaker 5 (01:11):
At HF Festival.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Maybe I don't know if you were called ninety nine
to back then, So it's that you guys just started
and in my mind of like thinking back to you
two young guys and so much that you've done and
what you've accomplished.
Speaker 5 (01:27):
It's crazy, guys, it's a whole it's crazy. Because we
were just saying this when talking with Lisa. It's a lifetime,
you know, you live a lifetime, you know, it's like
it's a lifetime, like they that I have like really
fond memories of that, but sometimes like someone will will
will remind me of something. Oh yeah, oh my god,
cause it's like a lifetime. In the nineties is like
(01:50):
to my kids who are teenagers, is like this historic, right,
so wild the nineties is like vintage to us cool,
but yeah, you're closer to.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Your age then back then that you are now.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
To that, right, But to me, nineteen ninety nine feels
like it was seven years ago, it really. And when
I we just played the anthem good Charlotte Is with
us Benji and Joel, when you just heard that song
through our radio speakers in here, Joel, what holds up
what feeling it does. But what feelings did you have
hearing it?
Speaker 5 (02:22):
Joyful? Yeah, I'm always happy to hear that song because
we were just kids and we were just spitting it out.
You know, we didn't we didn't think about anything to
run forward and write song. There was no responsibility. Yeah,
so I like that song. It holds up, it's got
that still got the same energy and it does. I
love to hear it. I love to play it. We
(02:42):
love to play live too.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Well.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Listen, we've got a whole hour with these guys. We're
gonna bug them about everything. They've picked some songs and
some artists for us to play.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Okay, twenty one Pilots is the next band we're gonna play.
Benji or Joel take it away on why you want
to hear these guys and what you know about it?
Speaker 5 (02:58):
So asking about sort of playing things like adjacent or
sort of connected to sort of the scene that we're from.
I love these I feel like these were some These
were some kids that came out who have now grown up.
You know, they're going through the same thing we went through.
But they always sort of pushed the limits of what
the what the genre, like they really bucked against like
(03:19):
being in a genre. And I think they continue to
do that. And I just love it when I see
people do that, when I see artists do that. So
I love twenty one pilots.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Let's play twenty one pilots. Hang out with us, Benji
and Joel, the Maddens are here, of Good Charlotte. We'll
play some of their music, we'll talk about other music
and whatever else we stumble upon Booker and Striker. It
is ninety eight seven, Booker and Striker.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
All right, Booker and Striker and good Charlotte.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Benji and Joel hanging out with us this afternoon playing.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
I love that song. Yeah, Like to me, if you were,
if you were like opening a time capsule of like
what is like quintessential like pop punk, like that was
like peak. That was the peak, like sort of like
really cracked wide open like pop punk is like on
the map. And I love those guys, love the You know,
we love Blink.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
And that's Benji speaking right there. Joel, did you take
them out?
Speaker 5 (04:12):
Said any time?
Speaker 4 (04:13):
I know? Or did you or did they take you?
Speaker 5 (04:15):
We never took Blink out. We we went we played
shows with Blink. We've never actually properly gone out on
tour together. We would, but we played shows with them.
We opened for them a couple of times, and like
these one off type, Yeah, that's the reverse striker. They
would take us out just like let's let's I'm aure.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Is it like a high school reunion when you, I
don't know, play with some of these guys see them.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
Oh my god. It's it's always like memories and also
a lot of catching up because everybody grows up and
it's really nice. Yeah, it's really nice.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
Coming out on eight eight will be your eighth full
length studio album, album number eight. Is it fully done?
Speaker 5 (05:01):
It's totally done, totally mixed in Motel Do cap.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Motel do cap so Booker and I have been somewhat
nervous because we didn't want to.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
We were like, is this some sort of French thing
that we don't know what it is? We have no
idea is that.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
What it is? Have you ever have you ever heard
of Eating Rock Hotel? You cap at Eating Rock. So
it's a very it's fancy old kind of like it's
where all the super yachts get docked and then everybody
goes in and you know, they hang at Eden Rock
or people stay at Hotel do Cap. Well, we ended
up playing a wedding there for for our little sister
(05:39):
getting married and and well my wife's little sister who
is my I've what we've been with her since she's
I've known her since she was seven.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
Were the wedding band.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
Yeah, we very special. We haven't played in years. We
hadn't played in years, and it was it was one
of those nights. That was the greatest night. You know
those nights where you're just like, God, that's a that
I'll remember that. It's one of the greatest nights of
my life. Everyone was so happy, all people we love
and then literally that at that night, we said the
(06:10):
whole band was together and we were like, should we sure
wreck an album? So yeah, when we left that, when
we left that trip, we just did it, just started
marinating and then Joel's like, I really, actually I'm feeling it.
I think we should make a record. So when we
were naming the album, like what's the name of this record?
And we were thinking when in the world, like, if
you've been to Hotel do Cap it's like one of
the nicest hotels in the world, you would good Charlotte
(06:32):
would never play that right there. Right, so we're like, well, well,
where did you know this album sort of started? It
was sort of conceived at so we could so what
about Motel do Cap. That's more sounds like something we
would play. We would play in the empty swimming pool
behind Motel du Right, So we were like, that's the
name of the record.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
How was your vibe on the stage? By the way,
did did you guys fall right back into it when
you were.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
It's like riding a bike? Yeah? I mean, well, yeah,
we play they were all old songs, you know, he
hadn't written anything yet, and it was just it was
it was really it was like playing a friend's basement
or something joyful. Well, all with all of our families
there and it was it was great.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
So Rejects is the story brand It's a great story.
By the way, thanks for sharing that. Rejects is the
brand new song. We got it, I guess yesterday we've
been playing it like crazy. Joel and Benji are here
from Good Charlotte. Let's play Rejects. But give us one cent?
Speaker 5 (07:27):
Have you guys been playing it on the radio?
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Yesayed it like every hour yesterday we were blessing.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
Make us feel like a kid again.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
Yeah, man, so give us one sentence or two sentences, as.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Many as they want.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
Let them give us. There here utes, let's go.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
Rejects is a song about you know. It's like it's
it's rejects. Like the line in the song is all
my friends are rejects. They all love me, but they
don't really know me yet. I think it's a self
esteem song. I think it's like it's like the battle
between yourself and yourself and and uh, feeling like a
(08:08):
reject I think sometimes and at the end of the day,
it's it's it could sound negative, it's not negative at all.
The line sometimes I wish I wasn't born at all.
I think you can say that it sounds dark, but
it's something that we all have a feeling sometimes feeling
whatever that feeling is. And in the end, I think
(08:29):
it's just to learn how to be yourself and love yourself. Yeah,
and love your friends. Because the all rejects.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Is this the first time everybody feels like summarized this
song because that was pretty good for Yeah.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
The first time I've ever had to explain it, so
I didn't have anything prepared. But I think it's just
well I think, yeah, it's like we all feel like
rejects sometimes. Let's just play it in.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Charlotte, just here with Booker and Striker. This is the
brand new song Rejects. It is all ninety eight seven
Booker and Striker.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
All right, book and Striker, and good Charlotte with us.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
We just learned something new about the new album while
just talking to the guys off the air. It was
recorded like right here, Striker, like down the street.
Speaker 5 (09:09):
They have offices.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Burbank Burbank representing Burbank Studio and Studios. Benji and Joel
Madden just selected that song from Rancid Guys.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
Classic What that's a classic?
Speaker 4 (09:22):
The best. Those guys are amazing. They should be at
least nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
Should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame,
no doubt about it.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
Guys, you've been working with bands for a long time.
You've been through it yourselves. What is the biggest mistake
you think young bands make, whether it's in twenty twenty
five or in nineteen ninety nine, And is it the
same thing after all these years.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
We were just talking about this, Actually, yeah, they I
think what happens is you have to allow yourself to win.
You have to allow yourself to aspire to dream, and
I think sometimes self esteem can get in the way sometimes,
you know, band kids, I think we all have something
in common it all. There's very few I think, like
songwriters and band kids that are just like that are
(10:07):
coming from like the most stable like life position. Now, however,
there's there's the exception. There are definitely huge disconnect There's
no call for that kind of line. Right's luddy, vulgar
and abusive language. That's an automatic disconnect.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
You've got a dirty porush mouth.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
Working stuff out, you know, in our music. So it's
like coming from a garage and then going to the
biggest stages in the world can do a number on
your head. So I think sometimes we have to, you know,
help ourselves through that. But sometimes you see people they
have all the talent, but they get in their own
way and they can't take in the wind and they
can't keep going forward, or people they crash it, or
(10:46):
people they quit, you know, because it's hard.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
The same thing easier now or does it make it
harder because of the technology. When we were younger, I
don't think we had the tools and I know, you
didn't to have the tools to make music at your
fingertips so easily, and then you have kids that maybe
don't know a lot about the road or going out
to perform their music. Is there you see a lot
of that.
Speaker 5 (11:09):
Yeah, well I think it there's good and bad to both.
You could say that it was more pure back in
the nineties, but I don't know if it was. I
think that I just accept the reality we live in.
So whether I understand it completely social media stuff like that,
or how to promote music, I better learn how to,
(11:30):
so I think you but but you learn from from
we get to work with younger artists, and I just
think it's what's what will stand true through every decade,
regardless of how the formats change, regardless of what tools
are you know, new tools invented, whatever, creative young creative
people will find anything at their disposal to create with,
(11:53):
and the really special ones will create something that we
all take notice of, and it'll just continue. To me,
that's just a that's the thing that stays. Bands, good
songs always always make it up. Yeah, so it'll that'll
never change. I think there'll always be a new band
making incredible music that making New Classics.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
Speaking of a song that we think is a classic,
and I believe you two requested it on our should
today it's Benji and Joel Madden with Booker and Striker
teenage Dirtbag from Weedst Babes. Let's play that song and
why do you want to hear it? Well?
Speaker 5 (12:23):
First of all, it's one of the greatest anthem classic
classic and we just had Brendan come and do Welcome
to Rockville with us and we played this song and
it went off. But it's a song we love. I
always think it's one of the great songs of our time.
Let's play that classic.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Benji and Joel are with us for this entire two
o'clock hour. No agenda will find out if they're playing
Learn a.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
Lot JU ninety seven. Do you have a question for
the guys Booker and Striker?
Speaker 1 (12:54):
All right.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Here they are good. Charlotte on with Booker Striker this
whole hour on all ninety age seven. How you guys doing,
how you feel great?
Speaker 5 (13:03):
Great?
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (13:04):
Thanks for playing our music. How are we doing? How
are you doing? I mean, listen, you guys are killing it.
You guys are so this is our credible our first
radio interview and I don't know how long, probably come
on at least yeah. Yeah, So it's just nice to
be with you guys, you know, get to get the
rest of old.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
Friends hanging out. We are live live. There's no take
backs right now anything, So it's great.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
So we're you know what I mean, You gotta get
you just got to get back and swing.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
I like that.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
We're your training wheels. Love it back into things.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
What a nice way to go into it.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Are you planning on a show here in Los Angeles?
A you're gonna play for us?
Speaker 5 (13:41):
So we are where as we sort of roll out
the record where we'll be announcing things to all the
shows that we're going can't expect for the remainder of
this year and next year, we'll have a lot of
things to announce, uh with the album.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Well, let me ask one more thing about that. What
kind of spaces are you wanting to play? Are you
a band that wants to maybe keep it a little
smaller intimate or you like it? Hey man, let's get
on a big stage.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
The small the small shows are fun and to do those,
We'll always break off and do a small show whenever
we can. Here's the problem we now as opposed to
when we were like twenty one or twenty two. We
have you know, we started a company twelve years ago.
We started another company sort of six years ago. Those
(14:29):
things have all grown sort of more maybe you know,
they've taken on a life of their own. We have
a lot of responsibilities with that. So with the band,
we we this is like we absolutely are excited to
be back where we are balancing between family other I mean, yeah, well,
we're gonna play as many shows as possible. We will,
but we also have to play places where we say
(14:50):
we can't do ten shows. We have to play shows
that everybody can come.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
So you're saying someone has to probably a little bit
from schools still exactly exactly.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
Benji and Joe Maddener here and let me brag for
them when they say they started some companies. They are
doing incredibly well. They manage artists like Poppy bad Omens,
Chase Atlantic, right yeah, and Veeps. They are co CEOs
of Veeps. And if you've streamed a live music show concert,
that's the Madam Brothers right here. Like you are entrepreneurs.
(15:21):
What congrats on everything?
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Thank you.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
It sounds great. It really is the amazing people we
work with at MDD, and it takes a incredible group
of people that manage incredible artists, and these artists took
a chance on this company. They believe in this company
and the people at the company. We are a part
of the team there. Same with Veeps. We get to
work with incredible people and incredible artists. So it's fun
(15:45):
to say we started it, but at the end of
the day, it's these incredible people that work their asses
often and it's amazing to see what it's become and
what it continues to grow. I think I think Beeps
is the new MTV. It's turning into that, and I
think that we're just excited. It's interesting because when you
think back to all the years, I think sometimes we
forget about a lot of things in the past because
(16:05):
we're so excited about the future. It's amazing to feel
that excited still, to like feel like you haven't like
it's your first day, like you haven't done anything, like
you're just And I think we get to do that
because getting to work with bad omens right to me,
that's like one of the most exciting bands in the world.
It's like, yeah, architects is a band I love and
I'm very close with the singer Sam and so we
(16:27):
get to have these really amazing relationships with artists on
their own journeys and we get to chase Atlantic just
sold out two nights at O two Arena and they
said it out in like ten or fifteen minutes, right,
So it feels for us, it feels like we're on
that ride for the first time and it's incredible. So
it really makes us feel like it's our first day.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
Do you guys have a boardroom and stuff?
Speaker 5 (16:48):
No, No, nothing like that. We have a studio. Okay,
our whole is all in studios. Suit, this is my suit.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Okay, you know, wear suit. That'd be funny.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
But when you know, when I'm dressing up just depending
on the chain. Oh really, that's like I just wanted
to show making an effort, you know. So it's like
a little makeup, right.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
I have a question for Benji and Joel Madden, so
booker and striker, when we have guests, well, you know,
we'll be in our office in the other room and
have a two minute huddle like who's going to start off?
Then what are we going to do next? And then
we're done. Do you guys do that same thing?
Speaker 5 (17:20):
No smart? Yes, yeah, yeah, Like maybe I think you
could throw us into any situation and we'll just you know,
but in most things in life, we huddle up, we run.
We can run a no huddle offense very well, all right,
a long time. But I think the huddle is smart.
(17:41):
The huddle smart.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (17:43):
Yeah, that just means you guys take it seriously, show up.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Let's huddle up and talk about Turnstile. This is a
band that you guys chose.
Speaker 5 (17:51):
Perfect example. We're talking about the new bands that are
doing things when we say, you, you know, how are
all these kids gonna make music? And how are they?
How is the thing going to continue on? Right? Turnstall
is a great exact example of a modern band making
classic records, in my opinion, and also from Maryland, which
we are. We're from Maryland, so uh, they represent themselves
(18:12):
so well and they make amazing records.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Never enough is Turnstyle. Good charlottees with booker and striker
and a ninety eight.
Speaker 5 (18:18):
Seven booker and striker.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
All right, some forty one booker and striker, good Charlotte
in the studio with us and you know, playing those
guys they just called it quits. You're a band that
can never really call it quits, can you.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
Well, we don't have to. We take so much time
on such long breaks, we don't have to quit. But
we actually got to go to the Juno's and present
some forty one with their Hall of Fame honors in Canada.
So it was amazing to be a part of that.
And we toured so much together back in the day.
(18:53):
They and that song classic music from them. So we
celebrate some forty one, and you know, are they really retired.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
All the time, We don't think they're really We think
they're retired, Yes, exactly.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
They'll be bored at home and they'll you know, Derek's
gonna be walking around in the circle. He'll fix everything
at his house. He'll tinkered with every piece of music
and he'd be like, you know, what got cone, what
are you doing? Let's go back on the road.
Speaker 5 (19:19):
They like to rock too much, they do.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
And they are great live all right, Benji and Joeler
Here our text line is two two nine eighty seven.
So many texts are flying in with questions for you.
This says, when I was a kid, your music made
me feel like I was part of Good Charlotte, green hair,
smudged eyeliner, screaming lifestyles of the.
Speaker 5 (19:36):
Rich and Famous.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
How does it feel looking back on that song, which
you guys just played on ALL ninety eight seven. Do
you ever think, dang, we're actually rich and famous now?
Speaker 5 (19:46):
I think the point of the song was that we
were saying, we'll take we'll take it, but we hoped
for it. Mission accomplished more than anything. When I hear
a text like that makes me feel like, these are
the people that made the music. So I feel incredibly
grateful and it feels special that someone would remember it
the same way I do, because it is those kids
(20:09):
that made our music matter at all.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
We're doing old school here as we go to the phones,
remember those.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
Things, old school radio.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
Maggie's on the phone. She has a question for Benji
and Joel of Good Charlotte.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Go ahead, Maggie, Oh my gosh, Hi, Benjie and Joel,
Glyn Booker and Striker. I don't have a question. I
just want to say thank you so much for all
of the amazing music and memories. When I was a kid,
I was eleven years old. My sister and I knew
every line to your songs, and my mom got to
take my sister and her my older sister and her
friends to a concert in my hometown in Pittsburgh, and
(20:42):
I begged my mom to go, and she wouldn't let me.
She said, it's just for the older kids to have fun.
And so when I turned sixteen, my sister surprised me
with tickets to your shows at the House of Blues,
so we just had the best time. You guys are amazing.
Thank you so much, and also congratulations on being our
father now that.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
You're so sweet, sound great, Thank you.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Thank you, Maggie. What a good call.
Speaker 5 (21:11):
You know. I got to say, that's most of the
interactions we get to have in you know, restaurants or
airports or you know, wherever we go in the world.
It's just really nice, the stories. And I think every
time we make a record, this one included, I think
we always have a moment where we kind of just
try to imagine someone out there listening in their headphones,
and it really makes us happy to just put things
(21:33):
into the world that, you know, feel that way.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Okay, let's play some good Charlotte. This to me is
one of the favorite lyrics, not even of yours. Of
like all time, girls don't like boys and cars and money,
the whole thing.
Speaker 5 (21:47):
Who thought of that when you when you commentary really
is it's not necessarily But I remember, but I remember
when we when we wrote that you do. Yeah, we
we we went out we were in la we didn't
live in l A yet and someone said you should
go to this club. And we went to go to
the club and they didn't let us in it and
(22:08):
we can get in. So we looked around at all
the people getting into the club and we realized it
was a very big difference. There was a through line.
They seem to have, they seem to have something. There
was something there was never seen a Ferrari before. There
was a Ferrari out there, you know. And that's the
amazing thing. I think a lot of times you forget
in l A. People realize, you know, at least where
(22:31):
we grew up right and we know each other a
long time, Like there's not like a Rolls Royce or
a Ferrari or a Lamborghini anywhere anywhere. You don't see it.
So that was a bit overwhelming when we first were
out here making this record. That was a bit overwhelming.
And I think that through line. It was just just so.
I think we're sort of social commentary every now and then,
just a little a thought.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
A genius lyric and a great song.
Speaker 5 (22:54):
Girl doesn't apply to everyone, just a little to most people.
Some people's bad.
