  Speaker 2: such a short trip that.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: I'll I kind of have it down already, so I'll
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: like the night or two before as long as as
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: long as I have clothes washed, man, I'll pack quick.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: And on that subject, my log I'm punk in the park,
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: Like if playing with bands Offspring and Penny was so
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: where do you go sit in the scheme of things?
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: He stays with punk sky bands, Like are you the
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: godfathers of the circle? And something like that, like does
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: everyone come to you for advice? So you sort of
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: sit in the middle.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Like it's always felt like we've been at least somewhere
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: in the middle. We've always kind of managed the cruise
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: through it all. It feels like, you know, and I
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: think as the band gets older and we're you know,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: we're we're just around and we travel and stuff like that,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: I think people kind of catch on to.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: The fact that we've we've we've been.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Around for a long time and are for sure one
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: of those bands at least, so I'm told, Yeah, I mean,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, you don't really go go around thinking that
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: stuff and then all of a sudden people tell you
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: stuff like that, you know that you're ogs or that
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: you're this or that.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Which is cool, you know.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, it just means that we've gotten to be
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: around for a long time and uh, I guess the
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: test of time, you know, so to speak. You know,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: so we're it's just good to be in the mix
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: to do, you know, like to be able to do
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: your thing that you created, you know, yourself, and be
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: able to be in the mix, uh, through all the
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: through all the comings and goings of bands and fads
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: and you know, like musical tastes and all that, you
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: know what I mean, we just kind of try to
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: have been able to cruise through it all and somewhat
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: to me, stay like right right in the middle.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: And if not.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: We're usually build a little higher these days because we
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: we've been around the block, which is cool too, you know,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: of course, you know, but uh, we're we're like like,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: I'm just punk in the park thing.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: There's some bands that are younger that have you know,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: had had more success quicker, you know, which is great.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: You know, it's it's you know, I mean, it's anybody.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's a big roll out there, you know,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: with a bunch of talent, and it's anybody's game, you
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: know what I mean. We're just glad to be a
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: part of it and get to you know, be you know,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: like lumped in with some of the best bands still
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: or some of the best you know, bands that get
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: you like chosen to be on these shows with these giants,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: Sure now from our research, it looks like this is
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: going to be your first vidituous rise since two thousand
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: and thirteen. So it's a long time between drinks, mate, Like,
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: what's changed with the Booty Glow Skulls from the last
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: time you're out of here?
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Well, we had a bunch of band changes, for sure,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: like a bunch of band personnel lineups.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: My older brother, the lead singer Frank quit the band
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen, so like like only a few years
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: after we were there last in Australia and then it
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: is back now, just came back recently again and we
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: rejoined at the beginning of October. So so he he's
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: he uh, he's coming back to Australia with with us,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: So he's not he didn't miss any Australia, you know,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: he's gonna he's just get get gets the jump right
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: back in. And one of the first the first things
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: he does is on Australian tour, which is great, but
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: that that's the major change. And we put out another record,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: you know, with a with a different lineup, you know,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: without my brother, which came out in twenty twenty twenty one.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: So that's a lot of changes. That's a lot of
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: that's a lot of things happening right right there alone.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: And then besides that, we've just kind of been everywhere,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: you know, we've we've we've been. We've been traveling quite
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: a bit, you know, did the South America, did some
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Europe a few times, among we went to Japan.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: So there's been a few things.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: I want to go into the ins announcement too much, bro,
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: But just with your brother leaving the band, Like, how
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: was that for you? Like, it's sort of not just
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: like a bandmate leaving. It was the actual brother sort
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: of leave a bit of a bit of a hole fear.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean it, I mean, of course, I
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: mean it was a big deal. And uh it was
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: one of those things where where you get like a test.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: It feels like almost like a test. Well it's like
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: what are you gonna do, sink or swim? Are you
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: going to keep on doing what you've always done or
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: are you going to hang it up and just retire?
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Which we we we we were going to do that.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: We were gonna we were going to hang it up
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: and just kind of retire like announced, like make an
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: announcement when that went down, and then we had a
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: friend of ours send us an email that would was
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: glad to step in, and somehow it worked for seven years,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: you know, but uh, but we were ready to stop,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So it did affect us,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: you know, you know, but you we decided to keep
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: on going and just you know, it's like, well, just
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: because one guy doesn't want to do it anymore, you
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: know that you have to evaluate yourself and people next
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: to you and see if they want to continue and
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: all that.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: But it did leave, of course, a big market a
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: big hole. Yeah. I mean, that's that's family, you know.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: You see that.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: You see a lot more when you when you're traveling
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: together and doing a band or a business together or
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: or whatever it is. You know, but it affected it
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: for sure, you know what I mean in many ways.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: Now you're coming out here with Japanese sky punk outfit,
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: Hey Smith, So it's not often you get an American
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: band supporting a Japanese band in Australia.
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they asked us that. That's that's just the way
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: it was.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Uh. It was presented to us, you know we uh
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: we know, uh Hey Smith, because they brought us.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: They actually brought us out to.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Japan at the beginning of their last of their last
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Japanese tour to support their their latest album So.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: We We We We We were there about eight.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Months ago with them and did their first four shows
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: of their of their Japanese tour, and then, uh, this
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: was presented like I mean, completely separate. You know, we
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: just got asked to do this by these Australian dudes.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: You know, and uh, and they put it together, you know,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: so it was there, it was there, it was their doing.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean it's interesting to go support them there.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: But I mean it's not that far fetched.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: I mean could I mean considering how how the Japanese
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: tour was, which is I mean, it's it's their country
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: and all that, but it was it was insane. You know,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: those guys are pretty big in their own in their
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: own country. I don't know about about Australia they're known
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: at all, but uh, it was pretty wild.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: So it made sense to support them there for sure.
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: And it's gonna be their first time during Australian mine.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: So are you going to bring him up to spade
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: on what to expect or are just gonna sit back
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: and laugh while they figure it out?
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean they're they're I don't know if they
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: understand me so much. Man.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean by the time the translation goes through,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: they already would have figured it out, you know, or
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: like learned the hard way, so to speak. But uh, yeah,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: I think I think the I think the I think
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: they'll they'll they'll they'll be fine. I mean, these days
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: with with technology and all and all, that too. They
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: probably know more about Australia than we both do.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: I'm sure you that. So that's been the wall since
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: I've been out of him, mate. So what what Canosi
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: fans expect from a video Globe Skulls live show.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Well, right now especially we're just on Ah, we're just
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: playing like what we considered like like like the classic songs.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: We're getting down to the meat potatoes of but we
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: would think people want want to see from from the band,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So that's that's the first thing,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: is we're trying to hit up all the classic songs
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: so to speak, or the standout songs that people would
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: expect from from a show, you know. And uh, it's
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: it's pretty high, it's pretty high energy right right now.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: We have a we have a good lineup right now.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: We have some good new horn players that are that
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: are delivering the goods man that we rehearsed with a lot,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: So that's exciting.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Got a young like a younger new sax player that's
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: great and uh kind of a virtuoso player, and same
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: same with a trombone player as well, and then as
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: well as the rest of the band to the core
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: of the fourth piece of the band.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: You know, we're we're pretty well rehearsed.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Man, we've been we've been touring for a while with
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: with without my brother. Actually we were still rehearsing a
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: lot and just got got off the tour that I
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: actually sang lead vocals on. So we so we've been
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: rehearsed pretty well. And when he jumped back in, it
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: was still like a machine.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: You know. He just jumped back in and did his part,
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: which is like made it to me that that much better.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: She got the original little icing on the cake. You know.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: Now, you actually formed Glows in California back in nineteen
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: eighty eight. Mates, so a was some musical climate like
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: back then they gave birth to the band.
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: And then where did you fit in initially?
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Uh, well, we didn't really fit in at all initially
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: because it was just a weird little band that from
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: a small town in California back then.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: The bands, well we we are. I mean we always.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Looked west towards towards LA and Hollywood, which is only
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: about forty five to fifty miles away from where we live.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: And that's that's always like those are always like the
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Tastemakers man, like whatever's going on there, like from the
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Sunset Strip like rock and roll, like hair hair scene
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: like in the eighties, to like eighties punk rock to
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: like nineties punk, you know, to I mean we kind
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: of got influenced by that whole thing, you know, I
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: mean by by everything that was going on in LA
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: at the time, you know, and throughout the years.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: As we're growing up, and.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's when we were starting our band though,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: there was like a trifectave band. It was like Fishbone,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: James Addiction, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers were the
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: bands that were like the bands that were coming up,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: that were getting big, that were starting to become like legends.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: That was around like nineteen ninety.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: You know, we had been around for about two years,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: and those bands were the bands that were just just
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: had hit hard, like between eighty five and like ninety five,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: you know. So that was the three bands that kind
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: of influenced a lot of bands in LA. And then
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: at the same time you had like the early eighties
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: or like the like the mid eighties early eighties punk
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: rock scene, like you know, like No Effects and Bad Religion,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: you know, the Black Flag, the Descendants, you know, fear.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: X.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: You know, you had all that stuff, you know, and
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: then it kind of morphed into the bands like Penny
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Wise and all like the nineties stuff, you know, like
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: the Epitaph record stuff. So we were influenced by a
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: lot of the stuff as we were becoming a band,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: you know, we were influenced by a lot of those
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: different scenes, you know what I mean. There was there
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: was so much going on, I mean, I mean, there
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: was so much to absorb. But the musical I mean,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: there was no real Scott punk or SKA bands like that.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: There was, like the SKA band thing was still like
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: you're still kind of a rarity, you know what I mean.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: There was like the Untouchables and Fishbone were the bands
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: like in the eighties, and like Oingo Boingo was kind
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: of like not really a SKA band, but sort of
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: parts kind of elements of it, you know, but there
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: was only in it. I mean there was like few,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: like few, few and far between Scott you know. I
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: mean the Skeletons, We're a band from southern California, from here,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: from our hometown. They were doing it then, no doubt,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: was doing it like an Orange County and they were
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: kind of more of a two tone ska band. Then
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: they weren't like what they are now. Of course, they
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: didn't turn into like a funkier kind of pop band,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: you know, they kind of doing more like trad two
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: tone ska. So there was some, but it wasn't the
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: same thing, you know, there wasn't really it was just
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: like the Boss Tones on the East coast, and like
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Fishbone and op Ivy and like Voodoo and Skink and
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Pickle on the West coast maybe and a few other
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: sporadic bands here and there, but there was only like
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: a handful, whereas now, like the climate at least for
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: what we do is I mean, it's everywhere. Now there's
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: just a Latino scott punk scene alone now, like in
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: LA that's like its own thing, you know what I
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: mean that there's there's at least like twenty five to
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: thirty bands that kind of do like Latin Latin ska
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: punk in some form, you know, whether it be more
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Latin tinged or more like heavy hardcore tings. There's a
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: lot of everything now, I mean, so it's it's definitely changed,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: you know. I mean back then, like the climate was
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: just kind of more like like those alternative like like
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: the alternative band thing thing that I was saying, like
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: more like Jan's Addiction and Red Hot and Fishballe And
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: then there was the nineties, like the late eighties nineties
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: punk scene was kind of starting to kind of morph
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: into its own things.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: So yeah, it was it was different and like.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: You you've been there, like you say, since before scar
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: punk was actually a thing too now, So can you
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: sort of put your finger on at what point people
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: actually started to get it or they started to really
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: get into skypunk?
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: Like what was the turning point?
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: I think it was.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: It may have been like around when those bands like
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: in the nineties had hits that were cross genre, worldwide
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: type of hits, like when No Doubt had some stuff
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: that was sort of like it wasn't exactly sky but
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: like like you know, like the whole like the uh
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: the Tragic Kingdom album, the Sublime album, like the forty
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: ounce freedom to uh to the South titled album that's
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: filled with Scott type songs, you know what I mean
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: that I mean the Bostone's the impression that I get,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: like what once you got songs that appear like on
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: a like on an airplane radio where you could listen
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: to it like in a general station like on the
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: airplane or something.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: You know, you know, it's it's crossing, it crosses over,
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: I think that that may have been it is when
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Scott became more of like, oh, this is like the
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: genre now, this is the thing that people know whereas
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: you know, like back in like the UK, maybe like
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: in eighty one or eighty two, when like two tone
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: was a thing. You know, they may have had hit
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: hits like in the UK and maybe had like kind
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: of it might have crossed over in the here lit
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: like somewhat, but it didn't hit like the way it
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: did like in the nineties to me, like you know,
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: the Bostones that big hit, like No Doubt had a
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: big hit. I mean even now like they like you know,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: like like bands like the Interrupters, they're all over the race,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: you know, I mean, they're all over the radio now here,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: you know, And that's that's k Rock, that's the big station.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: You know, that's still like for radio. That's that's an
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: influential station, you know what I mean. So there's always
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: those ska bands. Now there are a ska song that
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: sneaks its way onto the radio because of the vibe
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: that sky like that has, you know what I mean?
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: Now, just only someone's coming along with the Sky Nations
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: first of all, or to see how Smith and they
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: don't know too much about video glow Skulls. What three
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: songs that you should they listen to you to prepare
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: them for what's coming.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: For okay, they should listen to Shoot the Moon, uh
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: el Kukui and Charlie Brown those those three being off
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: our most popular record and kind of cover I think,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: kind of cover the styles the best, like those three
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: songs cover like the they're all there similar songs, but
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: not really they kind of cover the styles.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Within Booty glol Skulls, you know what I mean. I
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: think though those would be a good example.
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: I think now before we like you, guy might have
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: started a new thing at Heavy called photo bombs. So
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: basically before I speak to you, I'll troll through your
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: social media fighters and I'll pick out a couple I
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: want to know a little bit more about. So I
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: got the first one here for you. What's going on there?
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: Is that God trying to get on stage or is
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: he getting aggressive or.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: If I remember right, that's one of that is that
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: the guy from Love Equals Death. That might be Efrem's buddy.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: That's the former singer that we just had, and I
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: believe and if I'm not mistaken, that might be the
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: guy from Love Equals Death who I think just passed
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: away if I'm not mistaken, like I mean like a
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: month ago, which is kind of sad, but I believe
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: that's the guy from Love Equals Death up in the
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: front just saying like, hey, I right here, but I'm
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: watching your show, and he's just like he's just kind
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: of an awesome that's awesome.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: So on those lines, but like if you guys haven't
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: let anyone come up on stage and they send it
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: up in the title disaster.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, but well not let up on stage, I guess.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: But we had a bouncer rush the stage in Albuquerque,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: New Mexico, uh and attacked my brother and then the
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: whole audience attacked the bouncer and that happened on the stage.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: But that was an unwelcome guy on stage.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: We've had, I guess, the funny things that that have
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: happened when we welcome somebody on stage. And it's been
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: as it's been as a it's been kind of a
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: disaster is when we have this mascot that comes out
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: that he were like he wears like a big like
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: a like a latex mask, you know what I mean.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: And uh, it's it's the big monster head that that's
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: like a logo. It's it's sort of like iron Maid
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: and Eddie like that type of thing. And we have
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: this this character that will come out and we usually
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: have like a roadie or like a stage hand friend
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: that a just come out with a costume on right
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: like in the middle of the set. And we've made
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: the mistake of letting like friends in the middle of
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: the country, like on tour do it where they by
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: the tak but like like by the time they get
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: to the song, they're wasted and they can't do it,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: or they come on stage totally drunk and like mess
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: it up kind of you know what I mean.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: So we've had that happen a few times, uh, particularly
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: in Texas.
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: Go on in Texas, right, and I found is this
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: one like is that for real? Or is that fight?
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: I sho oh, no, that's that's for real.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: But what's great about that is, uh, she appears to
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: be like diving off of the stage and it's it's
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: it's her dad doing the thing where like they tossed
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: the kid up in the air.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: Catch them because you see the hands right there.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: But I uh, we we just got it sent that
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: as a screen sh and we just started looked. It
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: was awesome and that what that's what was going on
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: during our show. He were just throwing this kid up
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: in the air like near the pit while we were playing.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: And somebody tagged us in that, and uh, that was that.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Actually that was at punk in the Park in southern California.
• 20:16

• 20:20
  Speaker 1: from about two years ago at Punk in the Park
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: in Orange County.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: That doesn't have warm your heart when you see kids
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: that age and stuff like that at a gig.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: It's just yeah, because that kid, that kid will grew
• 20:32
