- 0:02SPEAKER_03: You are now watching CMS TV.

- 0:15[music]
- 0:23SPEAKER_02: It's Metal Church right here on your classic metal show from the dark release
- 0:26SPEAKER_02: with Watch the Children Pray.
- 0:28SPEAKER_02: And kicking off the show tonight,
- 0:30SPEAKER_02: we heard LA Guns from the Waking the Dead release with the title track and
- 0:34SPEAKER_02: a man who's been known to wake the dead with some of his antics
- 0:38SPEAKER_02: in his younger years, my good friend and partner, Chris Akin.
- 0:42SPEAKER_02: What's going on there, Chris?
- 0:43SPEAKER_00: What is up, man?
- 0:44SPEAKER_00: How's it going?
- 0:45SPEAKER_00: You have no backdrop.
- 0:46SPEAKER_00: I just see green screen.
- 0:48SPEAKER_00: I know, but the fans see the backdrop.
- 0:50SPEAKER_00: I don't know what the fuck's going on.
- 0:51SPEAKER_00: The ghosts are in the machine, so to speak.
- 0:54SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 0:55SPEAKER_02: I know what a big police fan you are, too.
- 0:57SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah, exactly.
- 0:59SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I don't know what's going on.
- 1:01SPEAKER_03: I'm literally looking at the OBS, and it's not a green screen.
- 1:06SPEAKER_03: It's the Billy Studio.
- 1:07SPEAKER_03: All right.
- 1:08SPEAKER_03: But you see a green screen for some fucking reason.
- 1:11SPEAKER_03: I don't know.
- 1:11SPEAKER_03: I updated OBS today, probably the biggest mistake of my life.
- 1:15SPEAKER_02: Oh, boy.
- 1:16SPEAKER_02: But, well, as long as the fans see what you think they should see, so be it.
- 1:21SPEAKER_02: But they don't even realize you're sitting there naked.
- 1:25SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's right.
- 1:26SPEAKER_00: This is green screen clothes.
- 1:29SPEAKER_00: I'm painting my dick green so it doesn't show on the screen.
- 1:31SPEAKER_00: That's it.
- 1:32SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you're the green goblin.
- 1:34SPEAKER_00: That's right.
- 1:36SPEAKER_02: Mr. Grinch.
- 1:37SPEAKER_02: There you are.
- 1:38SPEAKER_02: Well, here we are on Halloween.
- 1:40SPEAKER_02: Halloween.
- 1:41SPEAKER_02: One of the rare occasions that the Classic Metal Show falls on a Halloween and
- 1:46SPEAKER_02: a Saturday night that unfortunately we kick the clocks back an hour.
- 1:51SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I don't mind this kickback, although I wish we weren't doing it at all.
- 1:55SPEAKER_02: I wish we weren't doing it at all either.
- 1:57SPEAKER_02: I absolutely hate this.
- 2:00SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I don't love it.
- 2:01SPEAKER_03: I don't love it,
- 2:01SPEAKER_03: but I don't mind this one as bad because I actually do get an extra hour
- 2:05SPEAKER_03: of quote-unquote rest, I guess, but...
- 2:09SPEAKER_00: A whole hour.
- 2:11SPEAKER_02: A whole 60 minutes.
- 2:14SPEAKER_00: Look, when you go as long as I do on a Saturday into Sunday morning until
- 2:20SPEAKER_00: the light sun comes up, I'll take that hour.
- 2:23SPEAKER_00: That hour is precious.
- 2:25SPEAKER_02: You're living to the light of day.
- 2:28SPEAKER_02: Just like Michael J.
- 2:29SPEAKER_02: Fox and Joan Jett.
- 2:31SPEAKER_02: Exactly right.
- 2:33SPEAKER_02: Right there in Cleveland.
- 2:34SPEAKER_00: That's right.
- 2:35SPEAKER_02: Next thing I know, you're going to be Entertaining at the Euclid Tavern.
- 2:40SPEAKER_03: I don't know if I'm that big time.
- 2:43SPEAKER_02: Well, then you'll get kicked off stage what would be Nine Inch Nails.
- 2:47SPEAKER_00: Right, exactly.
- 2:49SPEAKER_00: Look at Jackal already, bonus hour.
- 2:51SPEAKER_00: I can promise you, Jackal, there will not be a bonus hour.
- 2:54SPEAKER_02: We go through this
- 2:55SPEAKER_00: every time.
- 2:56SPEAKER_00: Every fucking time.
- 2:56SPEAKER_00: We're not doing it, nor do we cut off an hour.
- 2:59SPEAKER_00: In six months.
- 3:00SPEAKER_02: Yeah, we don't short you an hour when the clocks turn ahead.
- 3:04SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 3:05SPEAKER_02: So we're not going to give you an hour when the clocks turn back.
- 3:08SPEAKER_02: How about that?
- 3:09SPEAKER_00: That's it.
- 3:10SPEAKER_00: We're doing six hours.
- 3:11SPEAKER_00: I don't give a shit what your fucking clock says.
- 3:15SPEAKER_02: Six hours of our greatness, that's all you get.
- 3:18SPEAKER_02: That's it.
- 3:19SPEAKER_02: You know,
- 3:20SPEAKER_02: it's so funny,
- 3:21SPEAKER_02: you know, when people who, you know, who are fans of the show, and trust me, I...
- 3:27SPEAKER_02: Appreciate each and every one who tunes in every week, but they want more.
- 3:33SPEAKER_02: Of course.
- 3:34SPEAKER_02: That's the whole thing.
- 3:34SPEAKER_02: It's just like, what is it that we do that you want more of?
- 3:38SPEAKER_02: I mean, seriously, six hours of us.
- 3:40SPEAKER_02: I mean, you go,
- 3:42SPEAKER_02: all right,
- 3:42SPEAKER_02: I've had enough of these two chuckleheads, but it's like, no, we want one more.
- 3:46SPEAKER_02: Give us one more.
- 3:47SPEAKER_00: That's like four hours more than I want of us.
- 3:51SPEAKER_00: I'd love this to be two hours.
- 3:54SPEAKER_02: That's funny.
- 3:56SPEAKER_02: But yeah, you and I both agree that, you know, things do fly by as quick as they do.
- 4:01SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 4:02SPEAKER_02: But, you know, six hours.
- 4:04SPEAKER_02: Come on, man.
- 4:04SPEAKER_02: That's plenty.
- 4:05SPEAKER_02: Come on, man, as the former former Joe Biden would say.
- 4:09SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 4:11SPEAKER_00: Even Joe Rogan doesn't do six hours and they pay him 100 million a year or whatever.
- 4:15SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 4:16SPEAKER_00: I'll tell you what, guys, if you guys could do enough super chats to fund 100 million dollars.
- 4:22SPEAKER_00: I'll give you an extra hour for the rest of this year and all of next year.
- 4:27SPEAKER_00: In fact,
- 4:29SPEAKER_00: I'll give you eight hours a Saturday if you guys can just contribute $100 million
- 4:35SPEAKER_03: between now and the end of the year in Rumble Rants or whatever
- 4:40SPEAKER_03: the fuck they're called.
- 4:41SPEAKER_03: See, Jay Lee got us started.
- 4:42SPEAKER_03: He put the first $5 in.
- 4:43SPEAKER_03: Did he?
- 4:45SPEAKER_02: Yes.
- 4:46SPEAKER_02: Thank you, Jay Lee.
- 4:47SPEAKER_02: I get $250 of that, man.
- 4:49SPEAKER_03: Oh, let me text that over to you right now.
- 4:52SPEAKER_00: Yeah, Venmo
- 4:53SPEAKER_02: me, man.
- 4:53SPEAKER_00: Yeah, let me do that.
- 4:55SPEAKER_00: Do you take Zell, Neely?
- 4:58SPEAKER_00: Can I Zell you after tax about a dollar and a quarter?
- 5:02SPEAKER_02: I don't do any of that stuff.
- 5:04SPEAKER_02: I don't do any of that mobile banking shit.
- 5:08SPEAKER_00: Can I write you a check for a dollar and a quarter?
- 5:12SPEAKER_00: Give me my piece, man.
- 5:14SPEAKER_02: That's right.
- 5:17SPEAKER_02: Too funny.
- 5:18SPEAKER_02: But here we are on Halloween.
- 5:22SPEAKER_02: What does that mean for you and I?
- 5:23SPEAKER_02: Absolutely nothing.
- 5:25SPEAKER_00: Not a damn thing.
- 5:26SPEAKER_02: I looked out the window two or three times earlier this evening.
- 5:30SPEAKER_02: I did not see a one trick-or-treater in the entire neighborhood.
- 5:35SPEAKER_02: I guess they don't do that anymore.
- 5:36SPEAKER_00: They do do it,
- 5:38SPEAKER_00: but there's,
- 5:40SPEAKER_03: and I am speaking from a thousand percent ignorance here other than,
- 5:44SPEAKER_03: I know I saw it advertised a couple times when I was doing
- 5:47SPEAKER_03: the pinball PA social shit.
- 5:51SPEAKER_03: There's something in every city,
- 5:52SPEAKER_03: and if somebody in the chat wants to explain what it is, that's fine.
- 5:56SPEAKER_02: Is that trick or trunk?
- 5:57SPEAKER_03: Trunk or treat.
- 5:59SPEAKER_02: Trunk or treat, yes.
- 6:00SPEAKER_03: But I don't know what that is,
- 6:02SPEAKER_03: but it seems like that's the safe way to trick or treat or something.
- 6:05SPEAKER_02: Yeah, well, it's typically sponsored by church organizations.
- 6:10SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 6:11SPEAKER_02: So it's a safe way of having Halloween, I guess, in a safe environment or something.
- 6:21SPEAKER_02: My nephews came to have dinner with me a couple Sundays ago.
- 6:27SPEAKER_02: And as we were driving to dinner, they were having this trunk or treat thing.
- 6:34SPEAKER_02: I didn't know what it was either.
- 6:36SPEAKER_02: And my nephews knew what it was.
- 6:38SPEAKER_02: I was like, what the hell's going on here?
- 6:39SPEAKER_02: Because there were quite a few people there,
- 6:42SPEAKER_02: a couple hundred at least,
- 6:44SPEAKER_02: you know,
- 6:45SPEAKER_02: parents and their kids and everybody dressed up in Halloween,
- 6:48SPEAKER_02: you know, Costumes and stuff.
- 6:51SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 6:52SPEAKER_02: And I said, wait, what the hell's going on?
- 6:53SPEAKER_02: And my nephews knew what it was.
- 6:55SPEAKER_02: He goes, yeah, I think that's a trunk or treat thing.
- 6:58SPEAKER_00: So do they all just gather in one place and get like handed a whole bag full of candy?
- 7:02SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
- 7:03SPEAKER_02: I don't know if it's like,
- 7:04SPEAKER_02: I don't know if it's they play games and they get candy and it's sort of like a,
- 7:09SPEAKER_02: you know, it's a, it's a sponsored by church organization, I guess.
- 7:14SPEAKER_03: According to dude, bro.
- 7:16SPEAKER_03: People don't do it in the neighborhood anymore.
- 7:18SPEAKER_03: They pack them into cars and go to the rich neighborhoods.
- 7:23Okay.
- 7:24SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I don't know.
- 7:25SPEAKER_03: I didn't hear, of course, I was asleep, so they could have been banging on my door all evening.
- 7:30SPEAKER_03: I wouldn't have heard it.
- 7:32SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 7:32SPEAKER_00: They wouldn't have got shit either because there ain't no candy here.
- 7:37SPEAKER_00: Sorry, I'm on a diet, kids.
- 7:38SPEAKER_00: That's right.
- 7:40SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 7:40SPEAKER_00: No candy for you.
- 7:41SPEAKER_00: Would you like an apple?
- 7:43SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 7:44SPEAKER_02: You know what?
- 7:45SPEAKER_02: I see so many of these videos out there.
- 7:48SPEAKER_02: Just a certain demographic out there who will just walk up on a porch and take the entire bowl.
- 7:55SPEAKER_00: Well, yeah.
- 7:57SPEAKER_02: You know, and it's like, who are you fucking people?
- 8:01SPEAKER_00: Well, I'll tell you the reason.
- 8:03SPEAKER_00: The reason is because the parents don't smack them in the back of the head when they do that.
- 8:07SPEAKER_00: I'm not going to lie and say I never tried to do that
- 8:09SPEAKER_00: when I was 10 years old either, and they just leave the bucket out there.
- 8:12SPEAKER_00: I can remember distinctly taking the bucket and dumping it in my bag,
- 8:16SPEAKER_00: and my dad fucking smacking me in the back of the head and dumping all my candy back
- 8:20SPEAKER_00: in the bucket and taking my ass home.
- 8:23SPEAKER_00: Don't be such a fucking gluttonous pig, you bitch.
- 8:26SPEAKER_02: I saw this one of this Indian woman come riding by on a bicycle, of all things.
- 8:33SPEAKER_02: She stops at a porch.
- 8:36SPEAKER_02: And not only did she take all the candy, but then she took some of the lights off the porch.
- 8:44SPEAKER_02: They were like LED lights.
- 8:48SPEAKER_02: They had the railings of the porch and things decorated with battery-operated lights, I guess.
- 8:55SPEAKER_02: And she took them.
- 8:57SPEAKER_00: Well, yeah.
- 9:00SPEAKER_00: Most people are in training to grow up to become Amazon package thieves.
- 9:03SPEAKER_02: I guess so.
- 9:05SPEAKER_00: Halloween is their training ground.
- 9:07SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 9:09SPEAKER_02: I don't know, man.
- 9:12SPEAKER_02: There's just some places where a 12-gauge really comes in handy.
- 9:18SPEAKER_02: I mean, there's just some people that just need to be killed.
- 9:23SPEAKER_02: I mean, really.
- 9:24SPEAKER_02: You serve no purpose.
- 9:26SPEAKER_00: No.
- 9:26SPEAKER_02: You serve no purpose.
- 9:28SPEAKER_00: None.
- 9:29SPEAKER_02: None.
- 9:31SPEAKER_03: What is the thing in the Bible about the people fiddling while Rome burned
- 9:34SPEAKER_03: and everybody just kind of danced around and didn't give a fuck
- 9:38SPEAKER_03: that their own lives were ending?
- 9:40SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 9:41SPEAKER_03: That's kind of where we're at now with society.
- 9:44SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 9:45SPEAKER_03: Society is slowly burning and we're sitting there going, yeah, give me some more gas.
- 9:49SPEAKER_02: Yeah, no shit.
- 9:51SPEAKER_02: But yeah,
- 9:52SPEAKER_02: I've been slightly amused and kind of riled up a little bit watching some
- 9:59SPEAKER_02: of these Degenerates, you know, that just can't act civilized in society.
- 10:05SPEAKER_02: I mean, I get trick-or-treat and,
- 10:07SPEAKER_02: you know,
- 10:08SPEAKER_02: the whole shenanigans with Halloween and all that,
- 10:11SPEAKER_02: but this is a day-in, day-out occurrence for some demographics.
- 10:16SPEAKER_02: This is what they do every day.
- 10:19SPEAKER_03: Every day is Halloween in Sweden.
- 10:21SPEAKER_02: Yeah, no shit.
- 10:22SPEAKER_00: Every single day.
- 10:24SPEAKER_00: It's just like, you fuckers.
- 10:26SPEAKER_00: The Swedish neighborhood Walmarts, they have it every single day.
- 10:32SPEAKER_02: Ugh.
- 10:33SPEAKER_02: This is done with it.
- 10:34SPEAKER_02: Done with it.
- 10:37SPEAKER_02: I'm with you.
- 10:38SPEAKER_02: The fatigue is now exhaustion.
- 10:40SPEAKER_03: It's past exhaustion.
- 10:41SPEAKER_03: It's coma inducing at this point.
- 10:45SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
- 10:46SPEAKER_00: So anyway, what's new in your world?
- 10:49SPEAKER_02: I don't think I spoke with you at all this week.
- 10:51SPEAKER_00: I don't think you did.
- 10:54SPEAKER_03: And there's nothing new in my world.
- 10:56SPEAKER_03: Nothing at all.
- 10:57SPEAKER_03: Well, I guess health-wise, I got kicked right in the balls again.
- 11:03SPEAKER_03: What happened?
- 11:04SPEAKER_03: I got my pulmonary back finally after six weeks.
- 11:07SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 11:08SPEAKER_03: And I have asthma.
- 11:10SPEAKER_00: Oh.
- 11:12SPEAKER_00: It's not the worst, but.
- 11:13SPEAKER_00: I don't think you did not know that.
- 11:17SPEAKER_03: I didn't know that, honestly.
- 11:19SPEAKER_03: I honestly was hoping for a more.
- 11:22SPEAKER_03: This is a reaction to COVID.
- 11:24SPEAKER_03: Take a pill and you'll be fine in six weeks.

- 12:31SPEAKER_02: But are you short of breath and have a hard time breathing and stuff?
- 12:35SPEAKER_03: Not going to lie, I am tonight.
- 12:38SPEAKER_03: Because I don't have the inhaler yet.
- 12:40SPEAKER_02: Oh, well, I mean, have you had those symptoms for a while or something?
- 12:46SPEAKER_00: Yeah, since I had COVID.
- 12:48SPEAKER_00: Oh, well, that's been years.
- 12:50SPEAKER_00: I know.
- 12:50SPEAKER_00: That's been five years.
- 12:52SPEAKER_00: But I just.
- 12:54SPEAKER_00: What have you been doing since?
- 12:56SPEAKER_00: Sitting around, not going anywhere.
- 12:57SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 12:58SPEAKER_02: But you haven't not left the house because you can't breathe.
- 13:02SPEAKER_03: No, no, no.
- 13:03SPEAKER_03: Nothing like that.
- 13:04SPEAKER_03: But I do get.
- 13:05SPEAKER_03: It's the weirdest goddamn thing because I get fucking winded like a motherfucker.
- 13:10SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 13:11SPEAKER_03: Just walking out to the mailbox or something.
- 13:13SPEAKER_02: Sure.
- 13:13SPEAKER_03: But I don't get.
- 13:15SPEAKER_03: Like.
- 13:15SPEAKER_03: I don't know how to explain this.
- 13:17SPEAKER_03: There's a difference between being winded and being tired from exercise.
- 13:21SPEAKER_02: Well, you're not getting enough oxygen in your system.
- 13:25SPEAKER_03: And I mean, I'll go out and I'll do stuff or I'll walk around or whatever.
- 13:28SPEAKER_03: And I won't get tired,
- 13:30SPEAKER_03: like from too much exercise or something,
- 13:33SPEAKER_03: which you might expect as a fat fuck,
- 13:34SPEAKER_03: you know, walking around the neighborhood and fucking wind you.
- 13:38SPEAKER_03: But it's not like that.
- 13:39SPEAKER_03: But it's literally I'm 14 steps down my driveway and I'm like,
- 13:44SPEAKER_02: oh, Yeah, well, yeah, you're not getting enough oxygen in your system is what it is.
- 13:50SPEAKER_03: Yeah, so I'm slowly but surely turning into one of those old fucks that's going
- 13:55SPEAKER_03: to have my,
- 13:56SPEAKER_03: the excitement to my week will be filling my little pill collector and my,
- 14:01SPEAKER_03: you know, oh, good, I get to take the green one today.
- 14:03SPEAKER_03: Yes, it's Tuesday.
- 14:05SPEAKER_03: Right.
- 14:05SPEAKER_00: Tuesday is green.
- 14:07SPEAKER_00: Sure.
- 14:07SPEAKER_03: You know,
- 14:07SPEAKER_03: I'm slowly between the iron pills and now this fucking thing and Now I got
- 14:13SPEAKER_03: to put eardrops in my ear every fucking night.
- 14:16SPEAKER_03: It's like, holy fuck, I am an old fucking loser.
- 14:20SPEAKER_02: Well, let's just put it this way.
- 14:22SPEAKER_02: Had you not gone to get physical and get medical attention and all this and that,
- 14:28SPEAKER_02: you would have been happily ignorant of any of these things.
- 14:31SPEAKER_00: Yes, that's exactly it.
- 14:34SPEAKER_03: I literally said that to somebody yesterday.
- 14:37SPEAKER_03: I literally was like, I wish I just didn't know.
- 14:40SPEAKER_03: Because now that I know, now it bugs me even more.
- 14:43SPEAKER_03: Exactly.
- 14:45SPEAKER_03: It was better when I was just saying, I'm just a fat fuck, I'm out of breath, whatever.
- 14:47SPEAKER_03: You know, that was actually a better answer than, well, you have asthma.
- 14:51SPEAKER_03: And if you stray too far away from, because I know what's going to happen.
- 14:54SPEAKER_03: It's just like wearing fucking glasses, which I'm supposed to do and I don't.
- 14:59SPEAKER_03: When you start wearing glasses, your vision starts to go.
- 15:05SPEAKER_03: So that's why I only wear them when my eyes are really fucked up.
- 15:09SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 15:09SPEAKER_03: You know, that's the only time I put them on.
- 15:12SPEAKER_03: And it's because I've been trying to preserve my sight.
- 15:16SPEAKER_03: But it is with the advent of putting doctors in my world.
- 15:20SPEAKER_03: Now, now it's like a whole thing.
- 15:21SPEAKER_03: Now it's like, well, if you want to hear right, you got to put these drops in your fucking head.
- 15:26SPEAKER_03: And if you want to breathe right, you got to puff on this
- 15:30SPEAKER_00: fucking silver dick once a day.
- 15:33SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 15:34SPEAKER_00: And if you want to not die of low iron or low vitamin D or whatever,
- 15:39SPEAKER_00: you got to take this fucking pill every day.
- 15:41SPEAKER_02: Right, right.
- 15:42SPEAKER_02: It's like, oh, just fucking kill me.
- 15:44SPEAKER_02: But see,
- 15:45SPEAKER_02: here's the thing,
- 15:46SPEAKER_02: and I can only attest for myself,
- 15:48SPEAKER_02: is because I'm aware of all those things that diminish as you get older
- 15:54SPEAKER_02: that I've always...
- 15:56SPEAKER_02: I kept up on preventative action.
- 16:01SPEAKER_02: So knowing that you lose iron or you lose vitamin D or whatever it is,
- 16:08SPEAKER_02: I kept up on the study on that, the ravages of aging.
- 16:14SPEAKER_02: Obviously, I'm no spring chicken, but I'm doing pretty well for You know what I do?
- 16:20SPEAKER_02: I mean, I'm not on any medication.
- 16:23SPEAKER_02: I don't wear glasses.
- 16:25SPEAKER_02: I can see and hear perfectly.
- 16:27SPEAKER_02: I'm in, you know, good health.
- 16:29SPEAKER_02: But I started,
- 16:31SPEAKER_02: you might remember years ago when we used to have Bob Leather on or,
- 16:36SPEAKER_02: you know, people and we were and I would talk about dietary habits and stuff.
- 16:41SPEAKER_02: And it's just like,
- 16:42SPEAKER_02: You know,
- 16:43SPEAKER_02: poking fun at me for,
- 16:44SPEAKER_02: you know, eating right and eating healthy and doing these things right.
- 16:48SPEAKER_02: You know, it's like, well, it's paid off in the long
- 16:51SPEAKER_00: run.
- 16:52SPEAKER_00: You know what I mean?
- 16:53SPEAKER_02: Because I've been this way for decades, you know.
- 16:57SPEAKER_03: See, I spent so long not thinking I was going to be here.
- 17:02SPEAKER_03: That I didn't give a shit.
- 17:04SPEAKER_02: I know that.
- 17:05SPEAKER_03: That I literally was like, fuck it.
- 17:07SPEAKER_03: I'm going to do whatever the fuck I want.
- 17:09SPEAKER_02: You believed you had a certain expiration date.
- 17:12SPEAKER_02: I did.
- 17:13SPEAKER_02: And you lived that way as if that expiration date was going to come up on you.
- 17:17SPEAKER_02: And now you're way past that expiration date that you had in your head.
- 17:21SPEAKER_02: And you're just like, wait a minute.
- 17:23SPEAKER_02: I might have a chance to prolong myself a little bit.
- 17:26SPEAKER_00: I passed the third year of the expiration date on Tuesday.
- 17:29SPEAKER_02: Sure.
- 17:29SPEAKER_02: Well, happy birthday.
- 17:30SPEAKER_03: Belated birthday.
- 17:31SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 17:33SPEAKER_03: Like, I give a shit.
- 17:34SPEAKER_03: What are you, 58?
- 17:35SPEAKER_03: 58, yeah.
- 17:37SPEAKER_02: 58.
- 17:37SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 17:39SPEAKER_03: But, I mean, I lived so long just going for it, going, fuck it.
- 17:44SPEAKER_00: I'm going to eat as much fucking pizza as I want, and you can't stop me.
- 17:48SPEAKER_00: And you couldn't stop yourself.
- 17:50SPEAKER_00: No, and I couldn't.
- 17:51SPEAKER_00: I really couldn't.
- 17:52SPEAKER_03: I still have trouble with that one.
- 17:54SPEAKER_03: But, yeah,
- 17:56SPEAKER_03: when you've kind of just said,
- 17:57SPEAKER_03: fuck it, now all of a sudden I'm like, not fuck it anymore?
- 18:01SPEAKER_03: I'm really kind of focused in a little more on,
- 18:05SPEAKER_03: I haven't had my third cup of water today or whatever.
- 18:08SPEAKER_03: You know,
- 18:09SPEAKER_03: I get to that point and I'm like, ooh,
- 18:12SPEAKER_03: you know,
- 18:13SPEAKER_03: and it's such a weird thing for me because I'm so used to, well,
- 18:18SPEAKER_03: it's nine o'clock,
- 18:19SPEAKER_03: it's as good a time as any to make a screwdriver and just start drinking.
- 18:23SPEAKER_03: You know,
- 18:23SPEAKER_03: I lived,
- 18:24SPEAKER_03: and you know this well,
- 18:26SPEAKER_03: when I first got divorced for that first five years,
- 18:30SPEAKER_03: I don't think there was one time I was on this show sober.
- 18:34SPEAKER_03: Was there?
- 18:34SPEAKER_03: Probably not.
- 18:36SPEAKER_02: And if you were, I couldn't tell the difference.
- 18:38SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 18:39SPEAKER_03: I mean, I was always drunk.
- 18:41SPEAKER_03: Always drunk.
- 18:42SPEAKER_03: And I was just living to die.
- 18:45SPEAKER_03: And now I'm actually trying to hang around for a little bit.
- 18:47SPEAKER_03: And it's like, all right, well.
- 18:49SPEAKER_03: I guess this comes with not trying to hang around for the first 50 fucking years.
- 18:55SPEAKER_03: You know, I didn't give a shit for 55 years.
- 18:58SPEAKER_03: So now it's like, oh, now I'm stuck to pills and doctors.
- 19:03SPEAKER_03: And, you know, it's like, fuck, I just have so many goddamn doctor's appointments.
- 19:08SPEAKER_03: And every other day I get a call from the fucking VA.
- 19:13SPEAKER_03: Uh, yeah, Dr. So-and-so just wants to tell you that.
- 19:17SPEAKER_03: And, and I hate when that's the start of every call.
- 19:20SPEAKER_03: Every call is like, I'm calling from Dr. So-and-so's office.
- 19:23SPEAKER_03: Just got a little information for you.
- 19:25SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 19:26SPEAKER_03: I know this isn't going to be your perfectly healthy and your dick's grown two inches.
- 19:30SPEAKER_03: I know that's not what it's going to be.
- 19:34SPEAKER_03: You know, I know it's going to be something awful or you wouldn't be calling me.
- 19:37SPEAKER_03: Right.
- 19:38SPEAKER_03: Give it to me.
- 19:41SPEAKER_02: Well.
- 19:42SPEAKER_02: All things considering when,
- 19:45SPEAKER_02: you know,
- 19:45SPEAKER_02: the things that you've,
- 19:46SPEAKER_02: you know,
- 19:47SPEAKER_02: chosen to share here on the show over the last few months,
- 19:51SPEAKER_02: all things considering you're not in a bad way.
- 19:57SPEAKER_03: Not as far as like the internals.
- 19:59SPEAKER_03: I mean, there's still obviously the fat that has to come off or I will be dead here soon.
- 20:06SPEAKER_03: Right.
- 20:07SPEAKER_03: And I know that and the docs know that.
- 20:08SPEAKER_03: Right.
- 20:10SPEAKER_03: I'm trying to do that.
- 20:12SPEAKER_03: I have Fat Camp Day 2 coming up in two weeks.
- 20:17SPEAKER_02: And what does that mean?
- 20:18SPEAKER_03: I think that's when they're actually going to start.
- 20:21SPEAKER_03: We're going to actually have the conversation about GLP-1s versus getting cut on
- 20:26SPEAKER_03: and starting to make that decision.
- 20:29SPEAKER_02: I gotcha.
- 20:31SPEAKER_03: We haven't done that part yet.
- 20:33SPEAKER_03: We've agreed that I'm willing to do it,
- 20:35SPEAKER_03: but we have to do – I don't even know what you have to do to – Honestly,
- 20:40SPEAKER_03: you know, I'm still going into this happily stupid.
- 20:44SPEAKER_03: You know, it's not like I get done with one thing.
- 20:47SPEAKER_03: It's like, oh, let me look up and see what other people have done with this.
- 20:50SPEAKER_03: You know,
- 20:51SPEAKER_03: I'm just like,
- 20:52SPEAKER_03: I'll show up for the appointment and they'll tell me what they're going to tell me
- 20:55SPEAKER_03: and I'll tell them what I'm going to tell them.
- 20:57SPEAKER_03: I'm not shy.
- 20:58SPEAKER_03: I'm not one of those people that's going to be pushed around by a doctor.
- 21:03SPEAKER_03: Fuck that.
- 21:03SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you're not going to zoom.
- 21:04SPEAKER_02: Well, whatever you say, I guess.
- 21:06SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 21:08SPEAKER_02: You're going to question everything.
- 21:11SPEAKER_03: If I ever did just what a doctor is going to say blindly,
- 21:14SPEAKER_03: I wouldn't have this fucking hand because they wanted
- 21:17SPEAKER_03: to cut this fucking arm off back when I was burned up.
- 21:20SPEAKER_03: And I just laughed at them and said, no, you're not doing that.
- 21:24SPEAKER_03: And they were like, no, no, we have to.
- 21:25SPEAKER_03: We have to.
- 21:26SPEAKER_03: You got gangrene in your elbow.
- 21:28SPEAKER_03: We have to cut your arm off.
- 21:30SPEAKER_03: And I was like, nah, we're not doing that.
- 21:33SPEAKER_03: We're not doing it.
- 21:35SPEAKER_03: And I swear to you, they had my whole family in there, my mom, my dad, Georgetta.
- 21:40SPEAKER_03: And I looked at Georgetta.
- 21:41SPEAKER_03: I was like, if I wake up from a surgery and my arm is missing, I will never fucking forgive you.
- 21:46SPEAKER_03: And I screamed at her.
- 21:48SPEAKER_03: And she's like, yeah, I'm not signing off on that.
- 21:51SPEAKER_03: She knew.
- 21:52SPEAKER_03: She knew.
- 21:52SPEAKER_03: I would have cut.
- 21:53SPEAKER_03: Even in divorce,
- 21:54SPEAKER_03: I would have still called her every fucking day to remind her
- 21:57SPEAKER_03: that she cut my fucking arm off.
- 21:59SPEAKER_03: I would have.
- 22:00SPEAKER_03: I have no doubt in my mind I would have ruined her life for ruining my life.
- 22:05SPEAKER_03: And thankfully it didn't come to that.
- 22:07SPEAKER_03: Thankfully I took a risk and I was right and the doctors were wrong and so be it.
- 22:13SPEAKER_02: Yep.
- 22:13SPEAKER_02: You and Dave Mustaine have something in common.
- 22:16SPEAKER_03: No, it's that and a horrible attitude.
- 22:20SPEAKER_03: Both have that too.
- 22:26SPEAKER_02: Well, you know,
- 22:27SPEAKER_02: overall, we're,
- 22:30SPEAKER_02: I think,
- 22:30SPEAKER_02: you know,
- 22:31SPEAKER_02: myself included,
- 22:32SPEAKER_02: I think the fans appreciate you just being as open and honest about everything going
- 22:37SPEAKER_02: on with you.
- 22:38SPEAKER_02: It's a sort of, we're all taking this journey with you in a way.
- 22:41SPEAKER_03: What am I going to do?
- 22:43SPEAKER_02: Not tell?
- 22:43SPEAKER_02: I mean, I know, but,
- 22:44SPEAKER_02: but you're,
- 22:45SPEAKER_02: you know, you're, You're open and I think the fans in general are very supportive.
- 22:51SPEAKER_03: I think so.
- 22:51SPEAKER_03: I mean, they are and they do message me.
- 22:54SPEAKER_03: I get a lot of messages off of the show.
- 22:57SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 22:57SPEAKER_03: Dude, just want to tell you my cousin Sid, he did this and he had that and this is what he did.
- 23:02SPEAKER_03: And I get a lot of those.
- 23:04SPEAKER_03: I get, you know, and I appreciate them all and I do tend to answer them all.
- 23:08SPEAKER_03: I don't just look at it and not answer it.
- 23:11SPEAKER_03: But.
- 23:12SPEAKER_03: And you know this better than anybody.
- 23:14SPEAKER_03: The show,
- 23:15SPEAKER_03: the people don't know this,
- 23:16SPEAKER_03: but when I came back to the show, like in 2012 or whatever it was.
- 23:23SPEAKER_02: Right, right.
- 23:24SPEAKER_03: When I came back to the show, me and you had a conversation.
- 23:28SPEAKER_03: And I told you at that point,
- 23:30SPEAKER_03: I said I would come back,
- 23:31SPEAKER_03: but I would only come back if I was just brutally honest about everything
- 23:36SPEAKER_03: in my life.
- 23:37SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 23:37SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 23:38SPEAKER_03: You know,
- 23:38SPEAKER_03: instead of,
- 23:39SPEAKER_03: I didn't want to just,
- 23:41SPEAKER_03: I felt like as good as I thought that the years that we did previous with
- 23:46SPEAKER_03: the show were,
- 23:47SPEAKER_03: I didn't like having to keep the kind of Georgetta thing out of the picture.
- 23:55SPEAKER_03: You know what I mean?
- 23:56SPEAKER_03: Because that was an important,
- 23:57SPEAKER_03: the show would have been that much more fucking crazy
- 24:00SPEAKER_00: if I would have been sharing some of that stuff.
- 24:03SPEAKER_00: It really was.
- 24:03SPEAKER_00: I mean, you know, cause you saw it firsthand.
- 24:05SPEAKER_00: Can you imagine if I had those stories in real time to tell?
- 24:09SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 24:10SPEAKER_00: Holy shit.
- 24:10SPEAKER_00: You might've seen me and her fist fighting on the air, which would have been great for the show.
- 24:16SPEAKER_00: It wouldn't have been great for my life, but it would have been great for the show.
- 24:19SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 24:20SPEAKER_00: And when I came back,
- 24:21SPEAKER_00: I told you that,
- 24:21SPEAKER_03: that I was like,
- 24:22SPEAKER_03: I'm coming back,
- 24:23SPEAKER_03: but I'm going to be deadly honest and I don't care what that causes me as far
- 24:28SPEAKER_03: as problems.
- 24:29SPEAKER_03: I'm just going to be honest.
- 24:31SPEAKER_03: And I mean, you can go back and listen.
- 24:34SPEAKER_03: It's not like there's any, A,
- 24:36SPEAKER_03: I don't need to prove myself, but B,
- 24:38SPEAKER_03: if you want proof,
- 24:39SPEAKER_03: you can go back and hear those 2012,
- 24:41SPEAKER_03: 2013 episodes,
- 24:43SPEAKER_03: especially where I was going out when I was in my dating frenzy after divorce
- 24:49SPEAKER_03: and I was going out and then I was reading texts
- 24:52SPEAKER_00: and stuff
- 24:54SPEAKER_00: and just blowing up relationship after relationship by being real, by being honest.
- 25:02SPEAKER_03: And I like that.
- 25:03SPEAKER_03: I like that part,
- 25:04SPEAKER_03: you know,
- 25:06SPEAKER_03: other than admitting sticking my dick in a fucking ham,
- 25:10SPEAKER_03: you know, everything else that I've told, I don't have any regrets about.
- 25:14SPEAKER_03: And even that I don't because
- 25:16SPEAKER_00: it's a funny story.
- 25:17SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 25:17SPEAKER_02: You know, it's true, but it's funny.
- 25:20SPEAKER_02: And also circumstances in my life changed where I could also be open
- 25:26SPEAKER_02: about things I couldn't be open with before because I was involved with
- 25:30SPEAKER_02: a Family-related business,
- 25:34SPEAKER_02: and my former brother-in-law was deathly afraid that one
- 25:40SPEAKER_02: of our potential clients would catch wind of something I'm saying on the show,
- 25:45SPEAKER_02: especially with you,
- 25:47SPEAKER_02: because periodically my sister would tune in and listen,
- 25:51SPEAKER_02: your friend Chris, I'd have to hear about that.
- 25:56SPEAKER_02: And, you know,
- 25:57SPEAKER_02: I was no longer involved in that situation,
- 26:00SPEAKER_02: which allowed me to also be,
- 26:03SPEAKER_02: you know, open about a lot of things I couldn't be open about before.
- 26:07SPEAKER_03: Well,
- 26:07SPEAKER_03: there was a lot of time where me and you would have a conversation during the week
- 26:13SPEAKER_03: and I would so want to bring it up.
- 26:15SPEAKER_03: And you're like, nah, dude,
- 26:16SPEAKER_03: come on,
- 26:16SPEAKER_03: let's leave that kind of off the table, especially with some of the women, you know.
- 26:21SPEAKER_03: Oh, yeah.
- 26:22SPEAKER_03: Some of the,
- 26:22SPEAKER_03: there's still things that I would love to go to,
- 26:25SPEAKER_03: but I'm just like, nah, you know what?
- 26:28SPEAKER_03: I know he still talks to this one every once in a while.
- 26:30SPEAKER_03: Let's, let's leave that alone.
- 26:33SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 26:34SPEAKER_03: You know, but, but I mean, you've got a lot like, and I'll be honest.
- 26:39SPEAKER_03: And again,
- 26:39SPEAKER_03: since we're just pulling the curtain back and just telling everything,
- 26:42SPEAKER_03: when you told the story about, I don't want to say your name.
- 26:46SPEAKER_03: Cause I don't know if you ever have about the one from Pittsburgh.
- 26:49SPEAKER_02: Yeah, the Pittsburgh girl.
- 26:51SPEAKER_03: And I met the Pittsburgh girl in Chicago.
- 26:54SPEAKER_02: Yes.
- 26:55SPEAKER_03: I was stunned that you brought it to the air.
- 26:58SPEAKER_02: I was stunned.
- 27:01SPEAKER_02: She pushed my button so bad that I had no problem with that.
- 27:06SPEAKER_02: But it's so out of character for you.
- 27:08SPEAKER_02: True, but I had nothing to lose at that point.
- 27:11SPEAKER_02: No, I mean, it was done.
- 27:13SPEAKER_02: Because that just...
- 27:14SPEAKER_02: That was like one of the worst experiences I ever had in a relationship as far
- 27:22SPEAKER_02: as just flat out just being a cunt.
- 27:26SPEAKER_03: Well, and she definitely lived up to that.
- 27:30SPEAKER_03: I don't think I've ever turned on anybody's girlfriend,
- 27:33SPEAKER_03: not even just yours,
- 27:34SPEAKER_03: anybody's girlfriend as fast as I did on that one because I committed the crime
- 27:40SPEAKER_03: of offering to buy her a drink.
- 27:42SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 27:42SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 27:43SPEAKER_03: And she acted like I asked her to,
- 27:45SPEAKER_03: you know, suck my dick and fucking let me finger bang her asshole.
- 27:51SPEAKER_00: I mean, she literally was like,
- 27:52SPEAKER_00: well, don't you know that I don't, Wendell should have told you.
- 27:57SPEAKER_00: Why are you being so disrespectful?
- 27:58SPEAKER_00: I was like, whoa.
- 28:01SPEAKER_00: I thought Kelly was going to kick her ass because Kelly was like, you need to shut the fuck up.
- 28:07SPEAKER_00: Wow.
- 28:08SPEAKER_00: I was like, what the fuck?
- 28:11SPEAKER_00: And I was like, all I literally did was said, hey, I'm going to the bar.
- 28:14SPEAKER_00: You want me to get you a drink?
- 28:17SPEAKER_00: And somehow that was an ultimate crime.
- 28:21SPEAKER_00: Ultimate crime.
- 28:22SPEAKER_03: I was like, geez.
- 28:27SPEAKER_03: Chicks.
- 28:29SPEAKER_02: Yep.
- 28:32SPEAKER_02: I've had a share.
- 28:33SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you have.
- 28:34SPEAKER_02: I've had a share.
- 28:36SPEAKER_02: You have.
- 28:37SPEAKER_02: You know, but that's.
- 28:39SPEAKER_02: Two years.
- 28:40SPEAKER_02: Two years is usually, you know, about the limit.
- 28:44SPEAKER_03: Yeah, that is it for you, really.
- 28:46SPEAKER_02: Mm-hmm.
- 28:47SPEAKER_02: It's like,
- 28:50SPEAKER_02: then it becomes a problem of the whole, you know, where's this going thing?
- 28:57SPEAKER_02: Where's this going?
- 28:58SPEAKER_02: It's like, it's not going anywhere.
- 29:01SPEAKER_02: It's where it is today.
- 29:02SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 29:03SPEAKER_02: Where's it going?
- 29:04SPEAKER_03: Do you still have to do that show with that foul-mouthed fat guy?
- 29:08SPEAKER_03: There's all those things.
- 29:11SPEAKER_00: And I heard that a lot over the years.
- 29:13SPEAKER_03: Oh, I know you have.
- 29:16SPEAKER_03: I feel confident in saying that every girlfriend you've ever had since me
- 29:22SPEAKER_03: and you have been doing the show hated me.
- 29:25SPEAKER_02: Except one.
- 29:27SPEAKER_03: Who's the one?
- 29:28SPEAKER_03: Taylor.
- 29:29SPEAKER_03: Oh, yeah, yeah.
- 29:30SPEAKER_03: Yeah, that's true.
- 29:32SPEAKER_03: And she does.
- 29:33SPEAKER_03: She seems to like me.
- 29:34SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 29:35SPEAKER_02: And she likes the show.
- 29:37SPEAKER_03: Well, then that's why.
- 29:39SPEAKER_03: Believe me, though,
- 29:39SPEAKER_03: if she ever moved to the point where she's trying to pull you out of the show,
- 29:43SPEAKER_03: I will instantly be cancer in her fucking stomach.
- 29:48SPEAKER_03: Instantly.
- 29:49SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 29:51SPEAKER_03: Yeah, they all do.
- 29:52SPEAKER_03: They all hate you.
- 29:53SPEAKER_03: And then they all hate me.
- 29:56SPEAKER_03: After two years, at first, they're like, oh, you're friendly.
- 29:58SPEAKER_03: So friendly.
- 29:59SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah.
- 30:00SPEAKER_00: It's just fun.
- 30:01SPEAKER_00: It's fun.
- 30:02SPEAKER_03: And then it's like, I don't like the way he talks about women.
- 30:06SPEAKER_00: I think he was talking about me.
- 30:09SPEAKER_03: And I know that's what you've heard.
- 30:10SPEAKER_03: I know that's what you've heard.
- 30:14SPEAKER_02: Hell, you even got into it with my sister.

- 31:13SPEAKER_00: Couldn't have given me a colder shoulder after I literally hooked him up
- 31:17SPEAKER_00: to meet Michael Francis.
- 31:20SPEAKER_02: I know.
- 31:21SPEAKER_03: Like, holy shit.
- 31:23SPEAKER_03: Yeah, we'll meet him in spite of you, you fucking prick.
- 31:31SPEAKER_02: What an asshole you are.
- 31:32SPEAKER_00: I know.
- 31:33SPEAKER_00: Well, she earned that one.
- 31:38SPEAKER_00: That's one of those things.
- 31:40SPEAKER_03: A lot of times,
- 31:42SPEAKER_03: if I felt I was wrong about it,
- 31:45SPEAKER_03: I would have called you and had you get her on the phone and apologized for it.
- 31:49SPEAKER_03: Right, right.
- 31:50SPEAKER_00: Because I'm not going to lie and say I wasn't over the line.
- 31:54SPEAKER_03: Me calling a...
- 31:55SPEAKER_00: Are one of your family members a cunt?
- 32:00SPEAKER_02: I don't think you called her that.
- 32:01SPEAKER_02: I think you said stop acting like one is what you said.
- 32:06SPEAKER_02: You didn't say, you know, shut up.
- 32:10SPEAKER_02: You said, well, you said something.
- 32:13SPEAKER_02: She said something about the C word and you said, well, stop acting like a cunt then.
- 32:18SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 32:19SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 32:19SPEAKER_03: That's what it was.
- 32:21SPEAKER_03: And 99.99% of the time I might've been like,
- 32:28SPEAKER_03: you know,
- 32:29SPEAKER_03: that's your sister,
- 32:30SPEAKER_03: you know,
- 32:30SPEAKER_03: maybe I'm over the line or maybe I was cranked up a little bit or whatever.
- 32:34SPEAKER_03: Let's smooth that out.
- 32:36SPEAKER_00: I looked back on it and there's no God's honest truth.
- 32:40SPEAKER_00: I listened back to it a couple of times and I was like, no, I'm not.
- 32:47SPEAKER_00: I'm not wrong on this.
- 32:50SPEAKER_03: And I still don't think I was wrong on that.
- 32:52SPEAKER_02: Well, you know,
- 32:53SPEAKER_02: the last blowout I had with her and her husband, that was still part of the blowout.
- 33:02SPEAKER_00: And that was in what?
- 33:04SPEAKER_00: 2011?
- 33:04SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 33:08SPEAKER_00: 15 years.
- 33:09SPEAKER_02: All I heard from that last blowout that we had, and I haven't spoken with them since.
- 33:14SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 33:15SPEAKER_02: It's been like three years.
- 33:16SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 33:17SPEAKER_02: It was like, and you couldn't even defend your sister after your friend called her a cunt.
- 33:25SPEAKER_00: Well, in fairness,
- 33:27SPEAKER_00: he didn't defend his wife when he saw me at the Michael Francis thing,
- 33:33SPEAKER_00: which was after that.
- 33:35SPEAKER_00: True.
- 33:36SPEAKER_00: He could have easily pulled me aside and been like, what the fuck is wrong with you?
- 33:39SPEAKER_00: Or let's duke it out or whatever he wanted to do.
- 33:44SPEAKER_00: You know, he could have done that too.
- 33:46SPEAKER_00: He did not.
- 33:48SPEAKER_03: So I think he's as culpable as you in that situation.
- 33:52SPEAKER_03: He had his chance.
- 33:53SPEAKER_02: We were right two feet away.
- 33:54SPEAKER_02: But in that situation, I didn't think I needed to defend her because she's an adult.
- 34:00SPEAKER_02: And in today's world with this, you know, everybody have equal rights, you get treated equally.
- 34:07SPEAKER_00: Well, and what got me mad, and I'm
- 34:11SPEAKER_03: not even going to lie about it.
- 34:12SPEAKER_03: I was definitely mad.
- 34:14SPEAKER_03: I wasn't playing.
- 34:15SPEAKER_03: I was definitely mad.
- 34:18SPEAKER_03: I did not like her coming on to my show.
- 34:21SPEAKER_03: And I know technically it's your show.
- 34:24SPEAKER_02: Yeah, but.
- 34:24SPEAKER_03: But it's my show and your show.
- 34:26SPEAKER_03: Right, of course.
- 34:27SPEAKER_03: And I did not like her coming on and trying to act like she was the boss.
- 34:32SPEAKER_03: And I was just a fucking monkey here to clap for her.
- 34:36SPEAKER_03: And I wasn't going to take that.
- 34:39SPEAKER_03: I just wasn't going to.
- 34:40SPEAKER_03: And I mean, since we're telling this whole story anyway, she was drunk.
- 34:45SPEAKER_03: Yep.
- 34:46SPEAKER_03: I think I was drunk.
- 34:47SPEAKER_02: Yep.
- 34:48SPEAKER_03: And words were spoken.
- 34:54SPEAKER_02: And as adults,
- 34:56SPEAKER_02: those kinds of things can just be,
- 34:58SPEAKER_02: you know, taken for face value and go, well, I was drunk.
- 35:02SPEAKER_02: You were drunk.
- 35:03SPEAKER_02: Things were said.
- 35:04SPEAKER_02: So be it.
- 35:05SPEAKER_03: Move on.
- 35:07SPEAKER_03: 15 years later.
- 35:08SPEAKER_03: And I did what I still would think would be a big enough favor to kind of wipe the slate clean.
- 35:15SPEAKER_03: I'm not saying forgive.
- 35:17SPEAKER_03: But the slate should be at least start at zero at this point.
- 35:21SPEAKER_03: Right.
- 35:21SPEAKER_03: I agree.
- 35:22SPEAKER_03: I completely agree.
- 35:23SPEAKER_03: It's not.
- 35:23SPEAKER_03: So it's like, all right, whatever.
- 35:25SPEAKER_02: Well, the character was shown to me three years ago by both of them,
- 35:32SPEAKER_02: even though she's blood and, you know, and her poor choices and husbands and things.
- 35:39SPEAKER_02: The character has been shown to me at that time.
- 35:42SPEAKER_02: And I'm not going to let it go unless I get a...
- 35:46SPEAKER_02: Some kind of an apology, and I have not received that yet, so it's not going to happen.
- 35:51SPEAKER_00: I don't blame you.
- 35:53SPEAKER_00: Yep.
- 35:53SPEAKER_03: I mean, we won't get
- 35:54SPEAKER_00: into all
- 35:55SPEAKER_03: that.
- 35:55SPEAKER_03: I definitely know that story, and you're not wrong on that either.
- 35:58SPEAKER_03: You're 100% not wrong on that.
- 36:01SPEAKER_03: I would never.
- 36:01SPEAKER_03: I mean, you know my story.
- 36:05SPEAKER_03: I went 12 years without speaking one word to anybody in my family.
- 36:09SPEAKER_03: 12 years.
- 36:10SPEAKER_03: Yep.
- 36:12SPEAKER_03: And honestly, I don't think I was wrong.
- 36:15SPEAKER_03: I still don't think I was wrong.
- 36:17SPEAKER_03: I just needed to get over it or I was going to put a bullet in my face.
- 36:21SPEAKER_03: So I just needed to just settle it.
- 36:23SPEAKER_03: So I did.
- 36:24SPEAKER_03: But I still don't think I was wrong.
- 36:26SPEAKER_03: I don't.
- 36:28SPEAKER_00: It is what it is.
- 36:30SPEAKER_00: You had just cause.
- 36:32SPEAKER_00: I did.
- 36:33SPEAKER_00: I definitely did.
- 36:35SPEAKER_00: All right, enough about this.
- 36:37SPEAKER_00: Now I'm getting all angry.
- 36:39SPEAKER_00: I'm like, fuck!
- 36:42SPEAKER_02: Well, it gets that high blood pressure going.
- 36:45SPEAKER_02: And I know you said that's one thing you don't have is high blood pressure.
- 36:49SPEAKER_03: Until the next time I go to the doctor,
- 36:50SPEAKER_03: I'll be like, what have you been talking about on that show?
- 36:52SPEAKER_03: Your blood pressure is 220 over 70.
- 36:58SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 36:59SPEAKER_02: And I like the fact that, you know, in your previous situation, I was the bad guy.
- 37:06SPEAKER_03: Oh, yeah.
- 37:09SPEAKER_03: That literally...
- 37:11SPEAKER_03: Was the biggest injustice of understanding a person I think I've ever experienced.
- 37:20SPEAKER_03: And I understand it from her side, but she's wrong.
- 37:25SPEAKER_03: She had it in her head that the reason I was the way I was was not me.
- 37:34SPEAKER_03: It was all the outside sources to me.
- 37:36SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 37:37SPEAKER_03: And that that.
- 37:39SPEAKER_03: She was the inside source that I should be leaning toward being more like her
- 37:45SPEAKER_03: than all of these outside sources that were not like her.
- 37:50SPEAKER_03: And she, the only time, because look, I was totally leading the double life.
- 37:57SPEAKER_03: You know, I was going to work every day and hell, I'm so glad to be here.
- 38:02SPEAKER_03: How about the big baseball game yesterday?
- 38:04SPEAKER_03: That was wonderful.
- 38:05SPEAKER_03: You know, I was that guy during the day.
- 38:09SPEAKER_03: During the day, I was nine to five, you know, corporate Chris.
- 38:13SPEAKER_03: And I played that game and I hated it,
- 38:15SPEAKER_03: but I would come home and,
- 38:18SPEAKER_03: you know,
- 38:18SPEAKER_03: then I had to deal with all her religious bullshit and homework with kids and blah,
- 38:23SPEAKER_03: blah, blah, all that bullshit, which I really didn't have any time for.
- 38:27SPEAKER_03: Just wasn't for me.
- 38:28SPEAKER_03: You know, I was a terrible dad.
- 38:29SPEAKER_03: I'll admit that I was not very good at it.
- 38:32SPEAKER_03: But then I would be myself and
- 38:38SPEAKER_03: For those six hours during the week, that was my self time.
- 38:44SPEAKER_03: Those six hours and the two that I would do on MMS were Chris being Chris.
- 38:49SPEAKER_03: Well, she always equated that to,
- 38:52SPEAKER_03: well, the only time I do crazy shit is when I'm doing that radio stuff.
- 38:58SPEAKER_03: So you were the worst of the bad guys,
- 39:01SPEAKER_00: but she didn't like Wardlaw either.
- 39:02SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 39:03SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 39:04SPEAKER_02: And he couldn't be a more passive, more easygoing guy that you've ever known in your life.
- 39:10SPEAKER_00: He could be a deacon in a church and no one would look twice.
- 39:14SPEAKER_00: That's true.
- 39:15SPEAKER_03: He is that guy.
- 39:17SPEAKER_03: And I was told in both of these situations,
- 39:20SPEAKER_03: in this show and in the metal show,
- 39:22SPEAKER_03: when I was doing that for MMS, there was a straight guy and then there was me.
- 39:29SPEAKER_03: That was my role in both shows.
- 39:33SPEAKER_03: You were the one that's disciplined, organized, well thought out.
- 39:39SPEAKER_03: And I'm the guy that'll jump off a bridge because somebody threw a dollar and I want it.
- 39:45SPEAKER_03: That's the difference.
- 39:47SPEAKER_03: And that works.
- 39:49SPEAKER_03: You know, it works on this show.
- 39:50SPEAKER_03: It worked on the metal show.
- 39:52SPEAKER_03: Quite honestly, it works on the Seth show.
- 39:54SPEAKER_02: And you're happy being that guy.
- 39:55SPEAKER_02: Well, it's who I am.
- 39:57SPEAKER_02: That's what I'm saying.
- 39:58SPEAKER_02: And you're happy being that guy.
- 39:59SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 40:01SPEAKER_02: You're happy in your own skin when you're allowed to be who you are.
- 40:06SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 40:07SPEAKER_03: I love, and I say this without saying that I do things on purpose because I really don't.
- 40:13SPEAKER_03: It just happens this way.
- 40:15SPEAKER_00: But I love being in the middle of controversy.
- 40:18SPEAKER_00: I love it.
- 40:20SPEAKER_03: That devil-may-care attitude.
- 40:22SPEAKER_03: I am so bored when everything's going smooth.
- 40:26SPEAKER_03: That's almost universally when I get into the most trouble.
- 40:31SPEAKER_03: I get in trouble when I'm coasting.
- 40:34SPEAKER_03: But when we have something cooking or whatever,
- 40:36SPEAKER_03: like on this show,
- 40:38SPEAKER_03: I have been more happy the last two or three weeks with all this Sebastian Bach
- 40:42SPEAKER_03: and Quiet Riot bullshit.
- 40:44SPEAKER_03: I love it.
- 40:45SPEAKER_03: I absolutely love it.
- 40:46SPEAKER_03: I love that people are all pissed off and upset.
- 40:49SPEAKER_03: And, you know, dude,
- 40:51SPEAKER_03: in the last three weeks,
- 40:52SPEAKER_03: we've had one that has just rubbed people the wrong way constantly.
- 40:56SPEAKER_03: First, it was the John Torres stuff.
- 40:59SPEAKER_03: Then it was Sebastian Bach.
- 41:01SPEAKER_03: And this week it was Hetfield versus Roger Waters.
- 41:08SPEAKER_00: And on all of them, You guys are fucking stupid.
- 41:11SPEAKER_00: You fucking Trump-tard faggots.
- 41:15SPEAKER_00: And I just sit there and smile.
- 41:18SPEAKER_00: Where most people would probably be
- 41:19SPEAKER_03: like, oh, fuck this guy.
- 41:20SPEAKER_03: I'm going to tell him.
- 41:22SPEAKER_03: I just sit there and I laugh and I heart their comment.
- 41:28SPEAKER_02: Because it doesn't affect your life in any way, shape, or form.
- 41:33SPEAKER_02: It's nothing.
- 41:35SPEAKER_02: You have a viewpoint that I disagree with.
- 41:38SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 41:38SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 41:39SPEAKER_02: And?
- 41:40SPEAKER_03: Yeah, it's just hilarious to me.
- 41:43SPEAKER_03: But I love that.
- 41:45SPEAKER_03: And you know that.
- 41:46SPEAKER_03: I've always loved the controversy.
- 41:49SPEAKER_03: When the Rev showed me an ounce of weakness, what did I do?
- 41:53SPEAKER_03: I went into that motherfucker with a whole
- 41:56SPEAKER_00: construction crew to tear him apart.
- 42:00SPEAKER_00: Same with Talking Metal.
- 42:02SPEAKER_00: We held on to Talking Metal for 10 fucking years.
- 42:05SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I know.
- 42:06SPEAKER_00: And that was really my fight, not even your fight.
- 42:09SPEAKER_03: You just liked poking fun at them because they were silly.
- 42:11SPEAKER_02: Yeah, they were goofy.
- 42:13SPEAKER_03: But for me, it was they got me fired from CBS.
- 42:17SPEAKER_02: Yeah, well, you had a personal grievance
- 42:20SPEAKER_00: against them.
- 42:21SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 42:22SPEAKER_00: But I took it out for 10 fucking years.
- 42:25SPEAKER_00: I didn't stop.
- 42:26SPEAKER_00: I wouldn't stop.
- 42:28SPEAKER_03: You know, it wasn't until really until I came back that that ended.
- 42:36SPEAKER_00: And it was even after that.
- 42:37SPEAKER_00: I don't think it was right away then.
- 42:38SPEAKER_00: Didn't we try and do Talking Metal once or twice?
- 42:40SPEAKER_00: But it just sort of wasn't there anymore.
- 42:43SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it just, the silliness was gone.
- 42:48SPEAKER_02: Because, you know, they weren't quite as dedicated to it either.
- 42:52SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 42:53SPEAKER_02: Because these guys were moving on to other things.
- 42:55SPEAKER_02: You know,
- 42:56SPEAKER_02: obviously John was off doing his Ace Fraley thing and You know,
- 43:00SPEAKER_02: Mark was trying to host the show solo.
- 43:03SPEAKER_02: And when they did do a show together, it just wasn't quite.
- 43:07SPEAKER_03: Yeah, it wasn't quite there.
- 43:08SPEAKER_03: It wasn't the same energy or whatever.
- 43:11SPEAKER_03: And the world changed and our world's changed too.
- 43:14SPEAKER_03: You know, I mean, that's, I don't think I would have as much fun.
- 43:17SPEAKER_03: Like we, I get asked that a lot, you know, in locals and in Facebook messages and stuff.
- 43:23SPEAKER_03: You guys need to go back to reviewing more podcasts.
- 43:26SPEAKER_03: And it's like,
- 43:29SPEAKER_00: we get it.
- 43:29SPEAKER_02: They stink.
- 43:30SPEAKER_02: Well, if you think about it,
- 43:33SPEAKER_02: you know, a week or so ago in the locals, I posted all of the Jocktobers.
- 43:39SPEAKER_02: We literally were doing Jocktober before ONA were doing Jocktober.
- 43:45SPEAKER_00: Yeah, because we were doing it in what, seven or six or something?
- 43:49SPEAKER_02: 2006.
- 43:50SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 43:51SPEAKER_02: 2007,
- 43:51SPEAKER_02: and they didn't start Jocktober until 2008 where they started critiquing You know,
- 43:57SPEAKER_02: shows, but we were sort of doing that ahead of time.
- 44:00SPEAKER_00: We were doing that with the blog talk radio and,
- 44:04SPEAKER_00: you know, because we were just looking for stuff to have fun with.
- 44:07SPEAKER_02: Yeah, of course.
- 44:08SPEAKER_02: And it was all new to us too.
- 44:09SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 44:10SPEAKER_00: Well, the whole internet thing was new.
- 44:12SPEAKER_00: You know, our ability to do a show was new.
- 44:16SPEAKER_02: It was.
- 44:17SPEAKER_02: And the content that,
- 44:19SPEAKER_02: you know,
- 44:19SPEAKER_02: that was out there because everybody and their brother wanted to have a show and be
- 44:24SPEAKER_02: a DJ and they wanted to have this.
- 44:27SPEAKER_02: And, you know, you and I, we both had previous actual broadcast radio experience.
- 44:35SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 44:36SPEAKER_02: And, you know,
- 44:38SPEAKER_02: my obsession with Good audio,
- 44:42SPEAKER_02: good clean audio and doing it right and sounding like a real show.
- 44:46SPEAKER_02: It fooled a lot of people.
- 44:51SPEAKER_02: Because they actually thought we were a corporate show.
- 44:54SPEAKER_02: They thought we were in the same room.
- 44:57SPEAKER_02: But the thing is,
- 44:58SPEAKER_02: we used to get those emails and letters about our content all the time
- 45:03SPEAKER_02: and how they were going to go to our station manager and get us pulled off the air.
- 45:08SPEAKER_02: I'm going to get you guys fired.
- 45:11SPEAKER_02: I'm going to get you guys pulled off the air.
- 45:15SPEAKER_02: So that to me was a testament on how well we did so early on.
- 45:20SPEAKER_02: To where people listened to us and they thought we were an actual corporate show.
- 45:24SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 45:25SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 45:26SPEAKER_03: I mean, that was, God, I cannot stress enough how difficult that was.
- 45:33SPEAKER_03: Quite honestly, I'm about halfway through our book.
- 45:35SPEAKER_03: I am like ridiculously slow at getting this book read.
- 45:38SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I'm finished with it.
- 45:40SPEAKER_02: I just wanted to get you to the point of being finished with it.
- 45:43SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I'll get there.
- 45:45SPEAKER_02: Discuss the strategy of what's next.
- 45:48SPEAKER_03: I'll get there by this week.
- 45:49SPEAKER_03: But I'm about halfway through.
- 45:52SPEAKER_00: And I don't know that we talked about that enough.
- 45:55SPEAKER_00: Well, again, there's time to put that in.
- 45:58SPEAKER_03: We may have to because I don't know.
- 46:00SPEAKER_03: I mean, again, I haven't read the whole thing.
- 46:02SPEAKER_03: Do you feel like we addressed that enough?
- 46:04SPEAKER_02: No, I don't think so.
- 46:06SPEAKER_03: I don't think we.
- 46:06SPEAKER_03: I mean, like I said, I'm about halfway through.
- 46:09SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 46:10SPEAKER_02: And I'm like, yeah, there's things I believe,
- 46:13SPEAKER_02: you know,
- 46:13SPEAKER_02: I read through it in two days and I thought,
- 46:16SPEAKER_02: well, this needs to be fleshed out a little more.
- 46:19SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 46:20SPEAKER_02: And this needs to, you know, this needs to be in there.
- 46:23SPEAKER_02: This was kind of an important, you know, stepping stone to where we are today.
- 46:28SPEAKER_02: And I agree with you that I had the same exact same feeling that we need to talk
- 46:34SPEAKER_02: about that, about how we got where we got.
- 46:37SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I think so.
- 46:39SPEAKER_02: So yeah, there's a little more work to do, but it's getting there.
- 46:44SPEAKER_02: I just decided that if it comes out this year, great.
- 46:47SPEAKER_02: If it doesn't, if it comes out after the first of the year, I just want it done right.
- 46:52SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 46:53SPEAKER_03: I'm not going to lie.
- 46:56SPEAKER_03: I don't see any way it comes out this year.
- 47:01SPEAKER_02: We're only eight weeks away from the end of the year.
- 47:04SPEAKER_03: Yeah, and by the time...
- 47:07SPEAKER_03: X does his additions or rewrites or edits or whatever,
- 47:12SPEAKER_03: and I do cover work,
- 47:13SPEAKER_03: if it's me that's doing the cover,
- 47:14SPEAKER_03: which I'm assuming it is,
- 47:16SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I'm going to think that that's the way it is.
- 47:21SPEAKER_02: And don't despair, folks.
- 47:23SPEAKER_02: I know there's been some people waiting on this.
- 47:27SPEAKER_02: It's going to be a good book when it comes out.
- 47:29SPEAKER_02: I'm just not going to hurry it up just to make it to the end of the year.
- 47:35SPEAKER_02: I'm not going to do that.
- 47:36SPEAKER_02: If it comes out before the end of the year, so be it.
- 47:39SPEAKER_02: But we have the first draft.
- 47:44SPEAKER_02: There needs to be some edits done.
- 47:46SPEAKER_02: There probably needs to have some additional work done.
- 47:50SPEAKER_02: And yeah, it's got to be right.
- 47:54SPEAKER_02: That's the only thing in the back of my mind.
- 47:56SPEAKER_02: It's just got to be right.
- 47:57SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 47:58SPEAKER_03: No, I agree.
- 47:59SPEAKER_03: And we'll get it right.
- 48:01SPEAKER_03: And again, I don't think it's bad by any means.
- 48:05SPEAKER_03: I wish I'd had time to just sit down and for two or three hours and just read.
- 48:13SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I read it over two nights.
- 48:15SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I keep reading like,
- 48:18SPEAKER_03: all right, well,
- 48:19SPEAKER_03: I got 15 minutes until this has to start or this phone call has to be made
- 48:24SPEAKER_03: or whatever.
- 48:24SPEAKER_03: So I pop it up on my phone and then I'm just reading,
- 48:28SPEAKER_03: you know,
- 48:29SPEAKER_03: 15 minutes and then I stop and then I go and do whatever and then I come back to it,
- 48:34SPEAKER_03: you know, four hours later and read another 10 minutes or whatever.
- 48:37SPEAKER_03: I'm slowly getting my way through, you know, but I think it's going to be fun.
- 48:44SPEAKER_03: I will say this about it,
- 48:46SPEAKER_03: and I don't want to turn this into a whole book sell,
- 48:48SPEAKER_03: but there's a lot in it that I did not know.
- 48:54SPEAKER_03: And this is as somebody that's been here for the whole time.
- 48:58SPEAKER_03: So if I didn't know a lot of it,
- 49:00SPEAKER_03: I imagine the fans don't know a good amount of it because I'd imagine there's stuff
- 49:06SPEAKER_03: That I've said in the book that the fans don't know either.
- 49:12SPEAKER_03: Is there stuff for you or did you know everything that I kind
- 49:14SPEAKER_02: of heard?
- 49:15SPEAKER_02: No, no.
- 49:15SPEAKER_02: There were things in there.
- 49:17SPEAKER_02: A candid viewpoint that you gave on a few items there.
- 49:22SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 49:23SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 49:24SPEAKER_02: But there needs to be more.
- 49:26SPEAKER_02: The whole story isn't complete.
- 49:32SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 49:34SPEAKER_03: I agree from what I've read.
- 49:37SPEAKER_03: Again, it might be complete.
- 49:38SPEAKER_03: I don't know,
- 49:40SPEAKER_03: but it seems like we're already into where I'm already at is kind of the middle
- 49:45SPEAKER_03: of it.
- 49:47SPEAKER_03: And we'll see how that all fleshes out, but it'll be fun.
- 49:53SPEAKER_03: I'll be anxious and horrified and terrified when it actually comes out.
- 50:03SPEAKER_02: Horrified and terrified.
- 50:05SPEAKER_00: But I'm like that with all my books.
- 50:08SPEAKER_00: Every one of the books that I've released so far, I'm excited to release them.
- 50:13SPEAKER_00: Dude, there's nothing better for me and you'll get this experience
- 50:17SPEAKER_03: and you'll probably think the same thing.
- 50:20SPEAKER_03: The greatest experience is when you finish a book and you get that first box
- 50:25SPEAKER_03: and you open the box and it's like, here it is, motherfuckers, my book.
- 50:33SPEAKER_03: It really is exciting.
- 50:35SPEAKER_03: It's very exciting when you get it.
- 50:38SPEAKER_03: And then when you start reading it and distributing it and whatnot,
- 50:45SPEAKER_03: and the fans read it,
- 50:47SPEAKER_03: and then people that aren't fans, that's always the part that's horrendous to me.
- 50:53SPEAKER_03: Is, you know, I got some reviews on, there's a website out there for authors called Goodreads.
- 50:59SPEAKER_03: A lot of people use it to buy books and whatnot and to evaluate books.
- 51:04SPEAKER_00: And not everything was always, you rule, Chris, you're the best.
- 51:11SPEAKER_03: You know, there was quite a few kind of,
- 51:14SPEAKER_03: kind of, man, this is like, call me Chris, which I think is my best book.
- 51:19SPEAKER_03: Um,
- 51:20SPEAKER_03: There was quite a few people that said I was overly graphic for no other reason than
- 51:24SPEAKER_03: to be graphic.
- 51:25SPEAKER_02: Oh, you were being shocking for the sake of being shocking.
- 51:29SPEAKER_02: Is that the deal?
- 51:30SPEAKER_03: That's what they said.
- 51:31SPEAKER_03: And I don't agree with that point at all.
- 51:33SPEAKER_03: Missed the cut?
- 51:34SPEAKER_01: You missed part of the classic metal show.
- 51:36SPEAKER_01: It's free when we're live.
- 51:38SPEAKER_01: But once it's over, you'll need VIP to watch it on demand.
- 51:42SPEAKER_01: Join us on Locals and Get the Cut,
- 51:43SPEAKER_01: plus the uncensored commercial free show replays Sunday afternoon.
- 51:48SPEAKER_01: Just $4.99 a month.
- 51:50SPEAKER_01: Classicmetalshow.locals.com
- 51:56SPEAKER_01: You know, I think...
- 52:05[music]
- 52:26SPEAKER_03: I personally think that every other book I've ever read on Burnvix,
- 52:32SPEAKER_03: which I've read a few, every other one that I read goes soft on what it actually is.
- 52:39SPEAKER_03: And that was 100% not what I wanted to do.
- 52:42SPEAKER_03: I wanted to tell it as real and as raw as I could so that people
- 52:48SPEAKER_03: that read it would be like, ugh, and they would feel it.
- 52:53SPEAKER_03: Like they would literally feel it.
- 52:55SPEAKER_03: The skin burning off their arm.
- 52:57SPEAKER_02: You wanted them to experience it from standing in your shoes.
- 53:02SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I didn't want this book that does it.
- 53:05SPEAKER_03: And then a magic orb came over me and it was Jesus and he picked me up
- 53:10SPEAKER_03: and carried me out of the room.
- 53:12SPEAKER_03: You know, I didn't want any of that.
- 53:14SPEAKER_03: I wanted this shit fucking hurt.
- 53:18SPEAKER_03: I wanted 22 fucking surgeries.
- 53:21SPEAKER_03: I wanted doing exercises and the fucking stitches ripping and just bleeding all over.
- 53:27SPEAKER_03: I wanted that stuff.
- 53:29SPEAKER_03: I wanted people to read it and be horrified because getting burned near to death is horrifying.
- 53:36SPEAKER_03: And I wanted to portray that.
- 53:37SPEAKER_03: And I think I did.
- 53:38SPEAKER_03: And, you know, Most of the reviews have been that, have been like, this is a little too close.
- 53:46SPEAKER_03: Like, I've got a lot of five-star ones,
- 53:49SPEAKER_03: like on Amazon and whatever,
- 53:50SPEAKER_03: that say this is a little too close to home,
- 53:52SPEAKER_03: but I wouldn't expect anything less from Chris.
- 53:56SPEAKER_03: And that's a great compliment for me.
- 53:59SPEAKER_03: To me, I love that compliment,
- 54:02SPEAKER_03: because that really says that I did exactly what I wanted to do for that person,
- 54:07SPEAKER_03: so...
- 54:08SPEAKER_03: You know,
- 54:09SPEAKER_03: but it is,
- 54:10SPEAKER_03: to go back to the main point,
- 54:13SPEAKER_03: it is definitely a little bit intimidating when you put your life out there and
- 54:19SPEAKER_03: then strangers evaluate you.
- 54:22SPEAKER_03: And you get everything.
- 54:24SPEAKER_03: You get everything from there's no way that happened to he's lying to,
- 54:29SPEAKER_03: you know, he's glamorizing his injuries for his own purpose.
- 54:35SPEAKER_03: You know, you get all that shit, which is fine.
- 54:36SPEAKER_03: Whatever.
- 54:37SPEAKER_03: People think whatever the fuck they want.
- 54:39SPEAKER_03: What do I care?
- 54:39SPEAKER_03: I took your 17 bucks.
- 54:41SPEAKER_02: Maybe you could be part of Jim Florentine's podcast and stories that never happened.
- 54:46SPEAKER_00: There you go, Jim.
- 54:47SPEAKER_00: Here's the whole book.
- 54:48SPEAKER_00: I didn't get burned at all.
- 54:55SPEAKER_02: That's too good.
- 54:56SPEAKER_03: I sent him a doozy this week,
- 54:58SPEAKER_03: which should be,
- 54:59SPEAKER_03: I can't imagine he's not going to use this on his Well,
- 55:02SPEAKER_02: I sent him one this week, too.
- 55:04SPEAKER_03: Oh, good.
- 55:04SPEAKER_03: We might both get some love.
- 55:05SPEAKER_03: Because for pinball PA purposes,
- 55:11SPEAKER_03: I had to sign up for Nextdoor because the marketing people want me to do Nextdoor.
- 55:19SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 55:19SPEAKER_03: So I signed up for Nextdoor, and I get their emails every day.
- 55:24SPEAKER_03: It's unbelievable.
- 55:26SPEAKER_03: But the one that I found...
- 55:27SPEAKER_00: Was a lady that wrote three fucking paragraphs,
- 55:31SPEAKER_00: three fucking paragraphs about her food not being good from McDonald's.
- 55:37SPEAKER_00: Oh my God.
- 55:39SPEAKER_00: And I couldn't screen capture it fast enough and send it to Jim.
- 55:44SPEAKER_03: I was like, and I sent it to him and I just get a one word text back from just unreal.
- 55:53SPEAKER_00: Because it was unreal.
- 55:54SPEAKER_00: She was critiquing McDonald's food.
- 55:56SPEAKER_00: McDonald's.
- 55:57SPEAKER_00: McDonald's food.
- 55:59SPEAKER_00: If it doesn't taste like an actual shit sandwich, be happy.
- 56:03SPEAKER_00: It's McDonald's.
- 56:04SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 56:05SPEAKER_02: It's a C minus at best.
- 56:07SPEAKER_00: C minus.
- 56:08SPEAKER_00: You must have nicer ones than I do.
- 56:12SPEAKER_03: Jesus.
- 56:13SPEAKER_03: I'd rather eat a gas station sandwich.
- 56:20SPEAKER_00: That's a throwback, by the way, people.
- 56:22SPEAKER_00: Neely got it.
- 56:23SPEAKER_00: I don't know if you guys did.
- 56:25SPEAKER_02: A little Black Metal Ray humor there.
- 56:27SPEAKER_00: A little throwback to 2008.
- 56:28SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 56:34SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 56:34SPEAKER_00: Well, I say we take a break.
- 56:36SPEAKER_00: Wait a minute.
- 56:36SPEAKER_00: Wait a minute.
- 56:37SPEAKER_00: What are we missing?
- 56:38SPEAKER_00: Winter in the chat room.
- 56:41SPEAKER_00: McDoubles rule?
- 56:43SPEAKER_00: No, they don't.
- 56:45SPEAKER_00: They rule what?
- 56:47SPEAKER_00: They rule as the cheapest sandwich that makes your stomach rot.
- 56:52SPEAKER_00: They don't rule.
- 56:54SPEAKER_03: They rule at three in the morning when you're shit-faced drunk
- 56:57SPEAKER_03: and you need something to get you home.
- 56:59SPEAKER_03: A couple of McDoubles will do the job, but
- 57:03SPEAKER_00: it's like eating fucking right out of the toilet.
- 57:08SPEAKER_02: You know, the last time I rolled through a McDonald's was 2017.
- 57:11SPEAKER_02: Jeez,
- 57:12SPEAKER_03: oh man.
- 57:13SPEAKER_02: And that wasn't...
- 57:15SPEAKER_02: My choice, that was the choice of the person I was with at the time.
- 57:21SPEAKER_03: Did you eat something?
- 57:24SPEAKER_00: No.
- 57:24SPEAKER_00: No, you just rolled through?
- 57:26SPEAKER_00: I rolled through there to get
- 57:27SPEAKER_02: her something.
- 57:28SPEAKER_02: You're like, what do you want?
- 57:30SPEAKER_02: Well, she knew what she wanted.
- 57:32SPEAKER_02: She was very focused on that.
- 57:34SPEAKER_02: Sure.
- 57:34SPEAKER_02: I was just like, okay.
- 57:37SPEAKER_03: You weren't like, oh, and give me a chicken sandwich or a filet-o-fish or whatever?
- 57:41SPEAKER_02: No, I was just like, yeah, I'll pass.
- 57:44SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 57:45SPEAKER_03: I don't like McDonald's.
- 57:47SPEAKER_03: I mean, every once in a great while,
- 57:49SPEAKER_03: maybe twice a year, I'll run through there, but
- 57:53SPEAKER_00: not a big fan.
- 57:54SPEAKER_03: You know, it's literally just like eating a food supplement.
- 58:00SPEAKER_03: It's not like, it's kind of like eating MREs back in the military.
- 58:03SPEAKER_03: It's not really food, but it's sort of food.
- 58:08SPEAKER_03: Food-like.
- 58:09SPEAKER_02: It's food adjacent.
- 58:10SPEAKER_03: Yeah, it's food-like.
- 58:18SPEAKER_02: It's similar to food.
- 58:20SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it looks like food.
- 58:22SPEAKER_02: It kind of smells like something.
- 58:24SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 58:26SPEAKER_03: That is,
- 58:26SPEAKER_03: unless you get the waft of the person that's fucking serving you
- 58:29SPEAKER_03: that food coming out of that window.
- 58:32SPEAKER_03: Then you're just like, ooh, Jesus.
- 58:35SPEAKER_02: No thanks.
- 58:36SPEAKER_00: Why does this smell like burnt hair?
- 58:38SPEAKER_00: Exactly.
- 58:39SPEAKER_00: Ugh.
- 58:43SPEAKER_00: Or some soul glow.
- 58:44SPEAKER_00: What do you think that special sauce is?
- 58:56SPEAKER_02: All right.
- 58:56SPEAKER_02: Now can we take a break?
- 58:58SPEAKER_00: Yeah, we can take a break.
- 58:59SPEAKER_02: All right.
- 59:00SPEAKER_02: All right.

- 59:36SPEAKER_02: which lately I have not been running out of requests,
- 59:38SPEAKER_02: you guys and girls have been doing a great job at filling up that FastPass box.
- 59:44SPEAKER_02: But yeah.
- 59:45SPEAKER_02: Anyway, if I ever do run out, I resort to the email request.
- 59:49SPEAKER_02: So those who pay get first choice.
- 59:52SPEAKER_02: Kind of like riding a ride at Disney.
- 59:55SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
- 59:56SPEAKER_02: So, all right, I will let you pick the song to lead us off.
- 1:00:01SPEAKER_02: So what shall we play?
- 1:00:02SPEAKER_03: Well, in honor of Halloween,
- 1:00:04SPEAKER_03: why don't we go with Little White Zombie with, what is this song called?
- 1:00:09SPEAKER_03: El Phantasmo and the Chicken Liver Special or whatever.
- 1:00:12SPEAKER_03: It's some dumb name, but it starts with El Phantasmo.
- 1:00:15SPEAKER_03: It's on the Astro Creep record.
- 1:00:18SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 1:00:20SPEAKER_02: Let's see here.
- 1:00:20SPEAKER_03: It's like track nine or ten
- 1:00:23SPEAKER_00: or something.
- 1:00:26SPEAKER_00: El Phaztasmo?
- 1:00:27SPEAKER_03: Yeah, whatever.
- 1:00:30SPEAKER_00: El Phantasmo or something.
- 1:00:35SPEAKER_02: Is it iZombie?
- 1:00:38SPEAKER_00: No.
- 1:00:39SPEAKER_02: No?
- 1:00:39SPEAKER_02: No.
- 1:00:39SPEAKER_00: It's on the AstroCreep record.
- 1:00:41SPEAKER_00: All right, let's go to the AstroCreep.
- 1:00:43SPEAKER_00: Let's go to AstroCreep.
- 1:00:44SPEAKER_00: I know that's where it is.
- 1:00:46SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 1:00:47SPEAKER_00: And then it's near the bottom.
- 1:00:49SPEAKER_00: Got it.
- 1:00:50SPEAKER_02: White zombie AstroCreep.
- 1:00:54SPEAKER_00: Yep.
- 1:00:57SPEAKER_02: All right.
- 1:01:00SPEAKER_02: Let's see here.
- 1:01:06SPEAKER_02: There we are.
- 1:01:08SPEAKER_02: Astro Creep 2000, Songs of Love.
- 1:01:11SPEAKER_02: Let's see here.
- 1:01:12SPEAKER_02: Astro Creep.
- 1:01:13SPEAKER_02: Holy shit.
- 1:01:13SPEAKER_02: They got a shit ton of stuff up here for White Zombie.
- 1:01:20SPEAKER_00: I didn't know this was going to be this hard.
- 1:01:22SPEAKER_02: Well, let's see here.
- 1:01:24SPEAKER_00: It's like track nine or something.
- 1:01:26SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I know.
- 1:01:27SPEAKER_02: I'm trying to pull up the album itself because every time I put in a song title,
- 1:01:32SPEAKER_02: just that title comes up.
- 1:01:36SPEAKER_02: Let's see here.
- 1:01:39SPEAKER_02: Let's see here.
- 1:01:42SPEAKER_02: Oh, there it is.
- 1:01:42SPEAKER_02: It's number nine.
- 1:01:45SPEAKER_02: Okay, I got it.
- 1:01:47SPEAKER_02: All right, well,
- 1:01:49SPEAKER_02: leading into this song,
- 1:01:50SPEAKER_02: I'm going to play one of our better Chris beatdowns with the merciless onslaught
- 1:02:00SPEAKER_02: of Chris and the Rev.
- 1:02:01SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 1:02:03SPEAKER_02: Nice.
- 1:02:03SPEAKER_02: To wrap up this segment.
- 1:02:05SPEAKER_02: So here it is.
- 1:02:06SPEAKER_02: It's the Merciless Onslaught exclusively here.
- 1:02:09SPEAKER_03: On your classic metal show.
- 1:02:11[music]
