He wears so many hats lately, as Darren Pilkington has
been helping us out on the O Oklahoma Campgrounds map,
and he has just grown his role ever since he
(04:30):
came on to the team and began helping us keep
all of that running. And he is in the comments says, hey, y'all,

me to watch live. Grant, I'm driving into work. Be careful, buddy,

everybody give a shout out to Darren and thank him
(04:51):

So with that being said, let's go ahead and crack
into the show, and we'll do that by thanking our sponsors.

the Roadhouse at Rocklaholma this year. Because you know, Doug, Hey, Doug,
what do you want to do with your life? Yes?
And Rocky will be doing. Thank you so much to
deb Concerts for supporting this show for all these years.
Speaking of another Oklahoma partner that has been a huge
(07:05):
advocate for our show is Brett from At Your Service Rentls,
the folks where you can get your own portable restroom
for your campsite and a swimming pool too, and to
get to keep the pool so you can use that
nice clean water to beat the heat and you can
(07:25):
squat in confidence. Thanks to the Brett and the Pooh
crew of At Your Service Rentals, you don't want to
be stuck like that guy in the dark looking for
a place to go. What are you doing over there, buddy? Yeah,
Hi didn't call At your Service Rentals. Also, we want
to give a shout out to another new another Wrocklaholma partner.
(07:48):
New partner this year the Roklahoma Bitches. Shout out to
Christy and Kendre and thank you for all of your
support over the years as well as everything you do
for the campgrounds and such as well as let's not
forget donating a couple of guitars for the scavenger hunts
(08:09):
for Rocklaholma and Born and Raised. You know those guitars
we get signed by all the people that we encounter
in the photo booth. Angela and I love collecting signatures
while we're working the festival, and they are also proud
supporters of the local music scene. We also want to
(08:29):
thank Rock excuse me huge look at the stars already
rolling in. We're gonna be talking about those here in
a second. We want to thank our proud partner, Photography
by Angel Lee. We picked up Rebel Angel about four
going on four years now. She's been covering Rockklahoma for us.
(08:53):
We've also traveled the country twice to visit a couple
of other festivals and she brings the amazing photos. We
just love to show them off here and she's got
some pretty epic picks from the ten years of Mayhem event.
(09:15):
It was just so happy to be there in celebrating
the local music scene that we have been fostering for
several years. You can find these photos and several more,
a few one hundred more, i should say, of all
of our stunning photos at Photography by Angel Lee. We
(09:38):
also want to thank Rokavett, who we've been working with
for almost six years now, giving away concert tickets and
passes and all of the stuff that to our veterans.
Are folks who put it all on the line to
fight for you and I, and they believe that music
(10:00):
is medicine. It's those songs that sued the soul and
we love to give that medicine to our veterans' courtesy
of giveaways, prizes, and other things. They are a five
oh one charity of y'all non profit organization, so we
are so proud to be working with them in their mission.
(10:21):
We also want to thank the Big Old Bus bringing
a bus loaded debauchery to Rockaholma for years. They you
just can't miss them anytime you go in the Rockaholma campgrounds.
It's pretty much just one of the biggest parties out there,
going non stop. We're going to talk a little bit
(10:42):
about it here in a little bit with we're joined
by Shannon. We also want to give a shout out
to Metalcore Clothing for prettying our shirts this year. You
can also order your shirts via our web store, so
whether you're going to be getting from getting them from
(11:03):
us at upcoming events where we'll be selling our merged
or getting them online, we appreciate all of you folks
for those purchases. And help support the podcasts. And we
also want to thank metal Core Clothing for printing those forests.
Remember they are a veteran owned business and we'll just
(11:26):
call them a Ocklahoma powered couple. We also want to
thank Paul Has of Let Me Get Get Us for
up There There we Go. We want to thank paul
A Haas of Keller Williams Real tea premiere. Remember, folks,
(11:46):
don't just get you a place to call excuse me,
You want to be sure to get you a house
that kicks. Has from the realtory that rocks, and it
doesn't matter what your story is. She can facilitate a
nice pad to crash and have your next place to
(12:09):
call your own. Also, folks, for this last sponsor, we
like to crack open the show by having ourselves a
little drinky drink. I think I sure sure could use one,
how about you all? Now, I don't know about you guys.
(12:29):
Now me, I'm not just a beer drinker.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
I like to mix some concoctions and lately I've gotten
hooked on these spicies, these frozen fruity drinks at the
gas stations.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
And you know what, nothing mixes with them with some
like some wine. Some spirits that I got from Prior
Liquor Wines and Spirits, A little bit of Tito's in
my drinky drink and uh delicious. So one of you
guys drinking sound off there in the comments while you're
(13:06):
doing that on behalf of Prior Liquor Wines and Spirits,
the folks who sell the SuDS to keep me sauce.
Cheers everybody. Okay, maybe I went a little hard on
that one. Yeah, third, three shots was just about right
(13:31):
on a Zuma's revenge. I could use a drink and drink,
but I'm at work, so I think that's frowned upon.
I feel you there the liquidaddy, Yes already, folks. So
with that all done, I think it is time for
us to go ahead and crack in to this show.
(13:52):
You know, we got a lot to talk about, and
you know, there's a lot of things that we do
for the w Oklahoma community and it really is a
labor of love. It's something that you know, we just
love to do. Some of us nerd out and geek
out over these kinds of things, and we like to
(14:13):
keep track of where all of the festivities are. So
I've been running the map for several years. I took
it over from Brian Beck whenever he decided that he
had some other things that you know, was monopolizing his time.
(14:35):
So we took that up and as the podcast grew,
we've grown it and it's the map's grown into something
that's more than I can keep up alone. So Darren
has been a major workhorse this year. So I want
to thank Darren since he's in the comments with us
able to watch live, for all of his work on
the Oklahoma Campgrounds Map. We've got a lot of stuff
(14:58):
going on with it this year, including our Best Campsite contest. Now,
with that Best Campsite contest, that's what you that's by
the people for the people. Now, last year, money from
Prie Liquor, Wines and Spirits provided some gorgeous trophies. I
(15:23):
need to go back. You can find those photos on
photography by Angel Lee. I didn't quite have them put
up there. They are. Yeah, look at those gorgeous trophies.
Those things were awesome. We had not had any like
those before and we appreciate you money so much for those. Now,
(15:47):
if you would like your chance to win Best Campsite,
then it will be super easy. This year, we will
be providing a QR and so all of you campsites,
this will be something that you guys can share. So
this is something that you guys can it's a universal code.
(16:09):
Everybody gets the same code. You can put it on
like business cards or on your flyer, or just somewhere
at your campsite so that folks if they want to
vote for your camp they scan it with their phone.
They'll take it up to this page the Oklahoma Campgrounds Map,
(16:31):
where folks can find a directory of all of the
parties as well as a map put together by those
of us who just like to go a little above
and beyond. It's on multiple pages here. Now on that
you can't we will have a ballot where you can
(16:52):
vote for the best camp site and it'll be right
there and you will be able to to vote for
the best campsite and we will pull the results that
weekend so that a way we can award the best
(17:12):
camp site that Sunday and provide you with your trophy.
So we will probably end the voting probably noon on Sunday.
That way we've got time to put it all together
and then we will surprise the winner at their campsite
Sunday evening or Sunday night, so I can't wait for
(17:36):
that one. Also, folks, we've also got a new thing
this year. Now, we haven't done this before. Now, for
several years, Fallin Rafferty had been doing an all campgrounds shirt,
(17:58):
all campsites shirt, so that basically everybody's included. Anybody who
wants to be listed on it will be listed on
the back of it. And since she had decided to
step back from doing that, I figured, you know what,
let's go ahead and jump in and we'll start. We'll
(18:20):
take that up as well. So our own Rebel Angel
has volunteered to design that shirt for us. So if
you would like your camp site listed on the all
camp site or the All camps t shirt, we're going
to need those submissions by Thursday this well yeah, we'll
(18:45):
say Friday. By this Friday, we're going to need to
know everybody who wants to. I'll put a flyer out
tomorrow so you all can share that and get the
word out, but we will let you know how to
admit that. Obviously, we'll be submitting everybody that's on the
Rocklahoma Campgrounds map, but some folks may not want to
(19:08):
advertise their actual location of where they're camping. So for
those folks, we'll have another way to get listed. So
and then we'll have that hosted on our metal Core
Clothing site where everybody can order their own shirts. Remember
you got to get it before Rockklahoma. We can't do
(19:28):
commerce at Roklahoma. So any of you camps that's going
to be selling shirts or selling swag to help fund
the festivities, remember you can't sell stuff there. So if
you're going to be doing that kind of stuff, start
getting your merch stuff together now so folks can have
(19:48):
an opportunity to support your camp site. And that's that's
how we've always done it. We've always just crowdsourced our
own and the more people support us, the more we
reinvest in the camps and we do it up for everybody.
This is kind of like how grown ups do Halloween.
And that's what we launched to do eleven years ago
(20:10):
with Camp Marti Gras and we just said, you know what,
we're going to do a theme for a camp site.
And uh, with Camp Corruption was there as well, and uh,
Camp Jaeger and other folks decide, you don't what we're
going to do the same thing. And now you know,
I'm not taking credit for it because everybody else did it.
(20:32):
But I'm just saying we're the longest running camps next
to Camp Corruption. So uh, that's that's a fun, fun
title to have. Now, with that being said, since there
is so much going on in the campgrounds.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
You can.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Christie, you know, we made eleven dollars in eleven years.
It's true story for all of you folks that are always,
you know, crawling across the campgrounds and seeing everything there
is to be seen at Rock Oklahoma. Our good friend
Justin Hoppy the Flamingo and George Washington had been organizing
(21:21):
and orchestrating the Scavenger Hunt, and we've been providing the
grand prize for their Scavenger Hunt the last couple of years,
which is a couple of guitars that are donated by
the Rockklahoma bitches. Now, with those guitars, Angela and I
we interact with all of the artists that we can
(21:45):
in the media area as we will, we get signatures
and then that is what is awarded to the Scavenger
Hunt winner. Now here's the cool thing about this. For
the first time, technically, for the first time surviving Rockklahoma
(22:10):
will be able to interact with every the you know,
all of the festival goers while simultaneously providing our media
service as we will be located on radio road this year,
just like all of the other radio stations. So we
are so happy and honored to be approved for our
(22:31):
radio booth this year. Now on that note, that means
the Rocklaholma campgrounds, map, the scavenger hunt and photography by
Angel Lee and a couple of other things to be
announced will be housed and our radio booths so that
(22:55):
you can watch the guitar as they fill up with
all of these signatures, and we'll be doing a running
list of all of the artists that sign up. We're
going to do better about that this year. That's my
bad last year, I didn't get them all written down. Fortunately,
Angel was there taking photos of all other folks that
(23:17):
signed our guitars. So that looks like that's just about
everything going on with the rock on the Rockleholma front.
So I will have Shannon, if she is still in
the comments, start getting ready to join us on our
(23:41):
live stream here in a couple of minutes. Now there
we go make it so that we can do actually
do this thing now. In the meantime, while I am
working on that, I want to introduce you all to

the ten Years of Mayhem event May twenty fourth, Labor

Speaker 4 (32:02):
I'm Shannon. That's my son Derek the Burger King. Ready
to rock at Wrocklaholma.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Yes from there. You know, Rockaholma is such a sacred
place to us, and you know, someone like yourself who
goes all out and does like does it up really big.
Tell me about your first year at Rocklahoma.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
Our first year was in what twenty twelve.
Speaker 11 (32:29):
Yeah, we had that red cargo van we slipped in
the back.
Speaker 4 (32:33):
Of We slipped in the back of a cargo van
with an awning and our grill out there way back
in the back forty It took.
Speaker 11 (32:42):
Us a about an hour hour and a half agate
get in.
Speaker 4 (32:47):
It took us several years to make it up to
Row one when we were camping in a little seventy
one camper Franklin camper at that time. And then Derek
and I found on a bus over in Missouri that
we were going to haul our four wheelers in. But
we brought it up to the Oklahoma and that was
the beginning of the legend.
Speaker 11 (33:10):
Started off, uh, just a little stand through the bottom
of it down to the ground, and that didn't work
so well. And then then we next year we went
out and built that frame round top of us and
follwood and bend and just slowly started building onto it.
Speaker 7 (33:28):
There was.
Speaker 4 (33:32):
Beside to play in the stereos until we finally bought
our own system, and and every year we just add
to it.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
So, what what was it about Rock the Rocklahoma, or
the campgrounds, the community, whatever you want to call it,
what made you just say, you know what, We're going
to come back. We've got to go bigger. We want
to we want to just keep growing and see how
far we can push.
Speaker 12 (33:56):
It was the environment.
Speaker 11 (34:00):
All the people was always welcomed me, like with another
home for me and for her as well. Just everybody
was always brought welcome us with open arms and just
feel like a home.
Speaker 4 (34:13):
Yeah. I started out with him as a fourteen year
old and to me, it's a safe place, it's a
fun place, and we just enjoyed it. And you know,
then we decided we wanted to bring the party to.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
So over the years, there's there's been an evolution in
the campgrounds. It for us whenever that first year was
kind of I always call it like Halloween like it
or like daytona tailgate party. Everybody was just doing a
little something out at each of their campsites. And then
(34:48):
all of a sudden, you know, more campsites started pulling
resources and more parties and stuff. Tell me about how
that factored into what the big Old Bus is today.
Speaker 4 (35:02):
Uh, when we really started growing, I had the friend
Frank Nito, and he he was who originally helped me.
He helped me start getting sponsors where we could make
the party bigger, and then the crowd just grew. So
we just tried to accommodate it and uh, Yeah, as.
Speaker 11 (35:22):
We try to accommodate, it just gets bigger and bigger
and bigger.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Yeah, so we talked a little bit about you know
what got you all started, and you know, the evolution
of big old bust. Tell me, how was last year
described for me or some up for me? If you
could last year experience as a whole, whether it be
your events, the weather, just the experience compared to your
(35:48):
first year.
Speaker 4 (35:52):
Well, it's more work, of course, the party is a
lot bigger. Well you weren't they able to make it
back last year?
Speaker 7 (36:02):
And I got a lot of help at that.
Speaker 4 (36:04):
Yeah, he grew up and had to get a job
and leave me behind. The events were fun. I really
loved the lip syncing. That it was so interactive with
all the crowd, and that was my favorite part of
last year. Our blowout party on the last day. It's
always a blasted party until the sun comes up. It's
(36:27):
just I don't know, we just always have fun there.
You know.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
One of my favorite things about the bus is it
I mean it is uh, it's wild out there and
respectfully wild like we've been the rules, but we were
we always made up of such a good community that
we tend to police ourselves and take care for each
(36:54):
other and look out for each other. And the crowds
always seem like they're so respect full over there at
the bus. Can you tell me a little bit about the.
Speaker 4 (37:05):
Yeah for having as big a crowds is what we
have and being such a big party, We've never had issues.
It's always been fun. We're considered a safe site. You know,
when when people have gotten lost or whatever, they've always
came back to us. You know, we've got the veterans,
they're helping us with rock a vet. You know, everybody
(37:27):
just pulls together to have a good time.
Speaker 2 (37:31):
And you know, one of the great things that I
love about the bus because you know, most of the folks,
you know myself, we go over there and we like
to admire the view and the spirit that's going on there.
But I always hear a lot of great things from
the ladies that have had the opportunity to get up
(37:54):
on the bus and dance and live out some of
their wildest dreams up there. And can you tell me
a little bit about how the empowerment that comes for
the ladies up there.
Speaker 4 (38:09):
We get a little wild there, but all the girls
are treated with respect, you know, anybody that wants to
come up on the bus and dance is allowed to
come up. We don't allow anything to get out of hand,
so you know, they're safe. They can express themselves, do whatever.
It doesn't matter, big, little, tall, small, it doesn't matter.
(38:31):
Everybody's welcome there, and you know we just you know,
we will try to be welcoming and they get to
express themselves.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
Right.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
Well, I mean it's it's so much fun as somebody
who thrives off of talking on a microphone and engaging,
you know, engaging an audience and being able to get
folks to react and pype them up like the folks
do in the lip SNC battles. Or You've even got
some events that are for the fellas out there to
(39:08):
you know, rock the Dad bought as well.
Speaker 4 (39:11):
Right, we've got the beer belly contest and man candy
for the ladies because you know, everybody is like, what's
what's here for us? And so we created it, you know,
