- 1:52Now, I wasn't into, the metal stuff, growing up.
- 1:54That was not my- Right I listened to, like, a lot of things, but that- Yeah just was not my jam.
- 1:59Most of those in that first list that I read were s- people that I would have been into- Yeah except for, Rage Against the Machine, but L- Limp Bizkit- Oh, yeah, 100%, yeah.
- 2:08Oh my g- I liked Korn too.
- 2:10I was not too big on Korn.
- 2:12I don't know why I liked Korn,'cause that wasn't really my...
- 2:14I was more of the DMX girl.
- 2:16Yeah.
- 2:16I don't know why Korn.
- 2:17I was like, that was such a random, throw in, DMX.

- 2:28You know I love Kid Rock.
- 2:30His perk.
- 2:30Oh, yeah.
- 2:32Okay, so let's jump in and talk about the ep.
- 2:33Okay.
- 2:34So, this opens with just, like, all the excitement of everything going on.
- 2:38First of all, my first impression is,"Oh my God, Denis Le- nostalgia with the visors and the dudes with the blonde tips on their hair, and the shell neck- what were they called?
- 2:47Puka necklace?
- 2:48Yes.
- 2:48Yeah, something like that.
- 2:49Something like that.
- 2:49Yeah.
- 2:49The tiny sunglasses and the, chains on the, wallet- The pants, yeah wallet chains.
- 2:54Mm-hmm.
- 2:54MTV.
- 2:55Yeah VJs, like all that.
- 2:56I'm just automatically just like a huge wave of nostalgia- Yeah just, like, washed all over me.
- 3:02So It starts out though, there's like different perspectives.
- 3:04You've got the event throwers' perspectives- Yes and, the people that worked for the event, and then you've got the people that attended the event.
- 3:10Which really cool to see them now.
- 3:11Listen, that- He peaked back then.
- 3:15100%.
- 3:15That is where I peaked, back then.
- 3:17So did those security guards.
- 3:19That was th- that was their peak.
- 3:20Yeah.
- 3:21Okay, so everything starts out, it's a three-day thing.
- 3:24Mm-hmm.
- 3:24And it's July in it was in New York, right?
- 3:27Yeah, and then they put it on asphalt.
- 3:30Stupid.
- 3:31There were so many decisions that I'm like,"Why?" So they had it at a military base.
- 3:35Yes.
- 3:36And it's all a- asphalt.
- 3:38Right.
- 3:39And it's July.
- 3:40It's July.
- 3:41And there's no cover, like there's no shade.
- 3:43Well, there was the rage hanger- No that they could get into later.
- 3:47The rave?
- 3:48Rage.
- 3:48The rave.
- 3:49Sorry, yeah.
- 3:50Rage hanger.
- 3:50That's where I would've just stayed the whole time.
- 3:53But, but yeah, 100% right.
- 3:55Different perspectives.
- 3:56You're seeing flashes from the workers' perspective- Mm-hmm from the event goers' perspective.
- 4:02You're hearing that they're trying to get into the event.
- 4:05They're taking all their water, which I understand, but you gotta provide it if you're gonna take it.
- 4:10And not charge.
- 4:11It ended up being like 8 bucks a bottle.
- 4:13At the end of the the whole event.
- 4:16Which I don't even know what that would be today.
- 4:18That'd be probably like 20 bucks a bottle.
- 4:1950 dollars for a bottle of water on- Yeah the last day because so many people had sold out.
- 4:22Yep.
- 4:23That's bananas.
- 4:24That is crazy.
- 4:25That is super crazy.
- 4:26So the first episode you just see a lot of boobies.
- 4:32Okay.
- 4:32And, I was pretty, like wild- Sorry, Mom, if you're listening, and I'm glad you never, ever knew- Change this because she's gonna talk about what she's getting you for your birthday.
- 4:43So just don't listen for a minute.
- 4:45Okay.
- 4:45So after, good.
- 4:47I mean, like I, I partied a lot.
- 4:48Mm-hmm.
- 4:48Like, in my earlier years.
- 4:50Sure.
- 4:51And there's no way that I would have done that.
- 4:54Just naked.
- 4:56100% naked.
- 4:58Okay, and my other thought was, so they all have on bathing suits?
- 5:01I wouldn't have thought to have packed a bikini.
- 5:03Would have.
- 5:03I would've, I would have done that.
- 5:05You would have done that?
- 5:05Yeah.
- 5:05Okay.
- 5:06But I would not have gone naked.
- 5:08Okay.
- 5:08Like, just straight out buck naked from the get-go.
- 5:11Yeah.
- 5:12Like, they didn't pack anything.
- 5:13Yeah.
- 5:14No.
- 5:15It, I, when I was watching that and I was, trying to, put myself back into that timeframe- Right and I was like,"No." Well, you know, and I was doing some, some research while I was doing this, and we lived through...
- 5:25that was what?
- 5:26Like, I was- I was- 21, 22?
- 5:28I was in 11th grade.
- 5:29Right.
- 5:29No, going into my, going into my senior year.
- 5:31Yeah.
- 5:31So I'm not much older than you.
- 5:34How old are you?
- 5:35I'll be 44 in, in a couple weeks.
- 5:36Yeah, I'm not much older than you.
- 5:37So But they were like, that wa- it was a different time back then.
- 5:43No, that wasn't a thing.
- 5:45Just people going around naked wasn't a thing.
- 5:47Well, I think everybody was high or on drugs.
- 5:48Of course.
- 5:49Even high on drugs, I still wouldn't No.
- 5:52No.
- 5:53But I just want to make sure that everybody who didn't live through that understands.
- 5:57That was a thing for the original Woodstock.
- 6:00Yeah.
- 6:00Like, every- there was, there was, like, you know, what, what, make love not war- Yeah and all the things.
- 6:05We just didn't go around naked.
- 6:06No, no.
- 6:08Or I was hanging with the crowd that stayed clothed.
- 6:11And you know what else, like, caught me off guard was it was so predominantly white.
- 6:16Very, very.
- 6:18Very.
- 6:19And that kind of threw me off too.
- 6:21But then the lineup, I mean, not, like- Right I, I- The lineup kind of correlates with the one Black artist with our one Black person in the audience.
- 6:32400,000 people there, by the way.
- 6:34Yeah.
- 6:35And it was- Well- only supposed to hold 150,000 crazy.
- 6:37So let's, let's just start counting.
- 6:40It's July- Mm-hmm in New York, which I know the weather there can be iffy, whatever, but it's still freaking July.
- 6:46No, it's, hot.
- 6:46It, it can be hot.
- 6:47On, on asphalt.
- 6:48Yeah.
- 6:48And what did you just...
- 6:49400,000 people and it's supposed to hold 150- 150,000 so you've already quadrupled the amount of people you're supposed to have, and people are naked, and they're hot.
- 6:59Mm-hmm.
- 6:59Okay.
- 7:00And they chose this place because they said that there's, the wall was gonna keep people out from trying to get in for free.
- 7:05My gosh.
- 7:06Did, that did not work, by the way.
- 7:08Uh, but what have I read, they sold, like, 150,000 tickets, and the rest were just kinda like- Like, they jumped over the thing too much.
- 7:14Yeah.
- 7:14They crashed.
- 7:15I guess they crashed it.
- 7:17Okay, so we- we're getting introduced to all the players, right?
- 7:19Yeah.
- 7:20This is like the main guy- Yeah that, that threw the Woodstock.
- 7:22Yeah.
- 7:23And I didn't realize that there was also a Woodstock in'94.
- 7:26I didn't either.
- 7:27Which was like- I forgot a much more mellow, like, happy-go-lucky well, it was probably the second group of people, The Counting Crows and I just keep getting stuck on the fact that, and I'm sorry, I know you're trying to explain the people, but I just keep getting stuck on the fact that you have all these angry musicians.
- 7:42Like, their music is anger.
- 7:44And- But that's what was so popular at that time oh, and I love it.
- 7:46Yeah.
- 7:46No, I love that.
- 7:47I'm not complaining.
- 7:47Yeah.
- 7:48I would've wanted to have been there- But, but- but be in a separate spot by myself, not with anybody else, and have a quick getaway.
- 7:53No, it wasn't like a Britney Spears vibe at all.
- 7:55No.
- 7:57No, but to see all those, but just the energy, they are not, yeah, they're not Britney and NSYNC.
- 8:04S- I just don't picture- Which I definitely would've went to.
- 8:07We could get both.
- 8:08Um, I- I'm just not sure what they were thinking My, I've got bipolar Yeah, well apparently we do Um, music taste Oh, 100%.
- 8:14Yeah, m- my music is, gets her pretty.
- 8:16But anyway, not sure what they were thinking.
- 8:18So we're meeting other people.
- 8:19We meet some dude named Michael, who I think he was, like, the head guy in charge- Mm-hmm with the brown, fluffy hair.
- 8:24We meet some of the backstage, or not backstage, bodyguards.
- 8:28Mm-hmm.
- 8:29Oh, there was also the MTV V- VJ.
- 8:31I remember watching this on MTV.
- 8:33I know.
- 8:33I do, too.
- 8:34Oh my gosh, all the VJs.
- 8:36Kurt Loder.
- 8:37Mm-hmm.
- 8:37Forgot about him.
- 8:38And then Ananda Lewis is there giving us her point of view, and then also we had, um, shoot, Carson Daly, I don't r- remember seeing him there.
- 8:46No.
- 8:47I don't- Not on this not on this, no, no, no.
- 8:49Yeah.
- 8:49But I remember seeing him, like, when it happened.
- 8:52Mm-hmm.
- 8:52I can, see it in my mind's eye.
- 8:53But anyway, so we're getting perspectives from- All the different views.
- 8:57Like, so you got the, the workers, you got the concertgoers, and then you got MTV, who is reporting.
- 9:01Yes.
- 9:02So in the meantime, this little town Who, when this happened, turned up being like the third or fourth biggest city in New York- Mm-hmm because all these people were there.
- 9:10Mm-hmm.
- 9:11Okay, continue.
- 9:12They're being flooded.
- 9:13A lot of the people that live there obviously weren't happy about it, but the mayor or whomever the person in charge of the town was like,"Hey, come on on." Oh, my God.
- 9:20"We're g- we're good.
- 9:21Let's go." Yeah.
- 9:22All right.
- 9:23So it's a disaster from the start.
- 9:25It's, it's set up for disaster.
- 9:26Right.
- 9:26It's set up for failure.
- 9:26Yeah.
- 9:27The first day was actually, like, not so bad.
- 9:28Right.
- 9:29But drugs were flowing freely.
- 9:31There was people- Like, let's take your water, but what is that?
- 9:34X?
- 9:34Bring it on in.
- 9:35Yeah.
- 9:36Well, and um- I'm sure they had it I mean, that you just hide in whatever.
- 9:39Right.
- 9:39They're naked.
- 9:39Where are they put- no, I'm just kidding.
- 9:40Not when they're walking in.
- 9:42Well, we- no, yes, you're right.
- 9:44But anyway, yeah, dru- a lot, they were just, later on in the series talking about just, like, basically just handing out drugs.
- 9:49Right.
- 9:50Just people just handing out drugs.
- 9:51So besides the heat, you are literally packed in there as a sardine.
- 9:55Mm-hmm.
- 9:55Um, when they did the aerial views- Yes it would just look like, look little ants.
- 9:59Mm-hmm I mean, tons and tons and tons and tons.
- 10:00Mm-hmm.
- 10:01It, it was insane.
- 10:02Back then I probably wouldn't have cared, but today I would've been like,"Oh, my God." I don't think I would've liked it back then.
- 10:08Today, certainly, no.
- 10:09I don't think I would've cared back then.
- 10:11Unless, somebody was, annoying me And I'm sure...
- 10:13Well, and that, we can get into this too- Yeah but everybody was getting groped.
- 10:17So, like, if you're a female there, which that really pissed me off that that was.
- 10:21Mm.
- 10:21Anyway.
- 10:22Yeah, totally packed in.
- 10:23You could see aerial views when, like, some would shift, it would turn into, a whole wave shifting.
- 10:27Yeah.
- 10:28There was no choice.
- 10:29Right.
- 10:29You had to go with it.
- 10:30Like a, like a, a group of, of fish.
- 10:31Very much so.
- 10:32okay.
- 10:33So ep one, we get to know everybody.
- 10:34We see day one and we see a little bit of energy.
- 10:39So we have, three, I think, concert goers.
- 10:41There was, like, two guys and there was, like, a woman.
- 10:43Or four.
- 10:43Two women- Okay Sarah, and then the one with the glasses- Uh and then the two dudes together.
- 10:47Okay.
- 10:48the two guys are like,"Yeah, we're just hoping to get laid." And let me tell you, looking at them now, they probably did not.
- 10:53Yeah.
- 10:54Well, they might have because, like- Well, who knows?
- 10:57So the two guys come in there and they're like,"Yeah," yeah, we're 16." Let's do this." Oh, God.
- 11:01"We're gonna get laid." Like- Yeah that was- That literally- literally how you were introduced to them.
- 11:04Yes.
- 11:05And then the girl, well, the one girl was, her family was super, Christian.
- 11:08Mm-hmm.
- 11:09And she wasn't even allowed to watch MTV.
- 11:11Right.
- 11:11But her parents let her go to this concert- Yeah where- Yeah there is everything.
- 11:16Yeah.
- 11:16And then the other girl was, like, 14.
- 11:18She said she had a mouth full of braces and she was just trying to go, and I don't think her parents knew where she was at all.
- 11:24Yeah.
- 11:24Which, great.
- 11:25And remember, no cell phones back then.
- 11:27Not like- And that was the other thing.
- 11:29Uh-huh.
- 11:29They had, right in the front or, like, or in the center of the place, because there's no cell phones you have no way to, to find your people.
- 11:35And again, it's 350,000 people.
- 11:38You're not finding anybody- No unless you're very lucky and you just- Right.
- 11:42Right.
- 11:42No, you, you get separated, you're done.
- 11:44So they have a wall to write notes to your friends to try to find them.
- 11:50Which makes sense and I'm glad that that was, you know- But it's like the- something the little tack boards at the post office- Yeah with like the business cards.
- 11:59Yeah.
- 11:59Roommate wanted.
- 12:00And could you imagine, so me, thinking of mentality back then- Yeah you know some dude was just, like, ripping down the papers.
- 12:07Like- Yeah.
- 12:08He was like,"Oh, that's a cute name.
- 12:10Let me, let me find her." No, but seriously, I don't know if I would've, just been like,"Forget it," and just been like,"This is, this is stressing me out too much," or just"Okay, I'll make new friends." I could totally go either way.
- 12:20I, I probably would've just been like,"La, di, da, di, da." Where's the next sponsor guy?
- 12:26Yeah.
- 12:27Hey, can I chill with you?
- 12:27Yeah.
- 12:28Okay, let's go.
- 12:28Yeah, yeah.
- 12:29You know, I, I- Yeah could have been totally okay.
- 12:31Yeah, depends on the day.
- 12:32I could- Now I wouldn't be one extreme to the other, yeah.
- 12:35I have social anxiety like no other now.
- 12:37Yeah.
- 12:38I know.
- 12:38It gets tough as we get older.
- 12:39So they're giving us, like, the kids' perspective and you totally relate to it because- Yeah you were like,"Yeah." Yeah.
- 12:46"Those were what guys were like back then," and like- And, and just the innocence.
- 12:50Mm-hmm.
- 12:50Like, they weren't thinking that they're gonna go destroy this town.
- 12:54They're just thinking,"Let's go party and get laid." Yeah.
- 12:57Okay, so all that goes down in ep one, and Sheryl Crow performs.
- 13:01Mm-hmm.
- 13:02And they're a little rude to her, and everybody's like,"Ugh." They're like,"Show us your tits." Yeah.
- 13:06And I'm like- And I'm like,"This is Sheryl Crow.
- 13:08She just wants here to have some fun." The best thing as- According to her song a response- Yeah was, um,"You'd have to pay a lot more than you paid to get into this concert to see mine." Which, yeah, 100% great.
- 13:18Love her.
- 13:18It's like Yes, queen.
- 13:22Clapping for you, honey.
- 13:23Right.
- 13:23So you get a little bit of the just tension coming from the c- the crowd, just with that rudeness.
- 13:28Well, and it's starting to build, right?
- 13:29Yeah.
- 13:30Because more and more people are coming, it's getting hotter.
- 13:31Nobody can get water.
- 13:32Right.
- 13:33There's lines for a half hour to get a bottle of water.
- 13:35You slowly see the energy, kind of slowly getting darker.
- 13:39Uh-huh.
- 13:39Yeah.
- 13:40the energy's just getting a little crazy- Yes where you know something's about to pop off.
- 13:44Yeah, exactly.
- 13:45And then that's when we switch to ep two.
- 13:47Mm-hmm.
- 13:47And then, like you said, the crowd, they're almost getting frustrated.
- 13:50Yeah.
- 13:50They're waiting for something to happen.
- 13:52And, this is when Limp Bizkit decides that they're gonna come out.
- 13:56Okay, so Limp Bizkit- Limp Bizkit.
- 13:59Right.
- 13:59Like, you know what you're getting.
- 14:00Right.
- 14:01Right.
- 14:01You're not getting somebody that's gonna calm down the crowd.
- 14:04No.
- 14:04His job is to amp up the crowd.
- 14:06Right.
- 14:06That is what he does.
- 14:08That is what he does.
- 14:08Right.
- 14:08Which, and pause.
- 14:09Let's go back just a minute.
- 14:10Gavin Rossdale.
- 14:13Just a minute for his beauty.
- 14:15He tried to.
- 14:16Oh, he, yeah.
- 14:17But, you can tell that they were frustrated with that, though.
- 14:19Right.
- 14:19Like, that's not- They have- That's not- They were there to rage Yeah, they did not want that.
- 14:23Right.
- 14:23Right.
- 14:24Okay.
- 14:24So yeah, Limp Bizkit, they're doing their thing.
- 14:26Yeah.
- 14:26They're doing their thing.
- 14:27He's crowd surfing on the- Oh.
- 14:29On the boards that they ripped off the stage.
- 14:31And it's not like he's even, I mean, I'm sure he did, but in this clip he's not even singing Nookie, which is also like a hype song anyway.
- 14:36He's singing Break Stuff, which is, you know, I mean, like, ah.
- 14:42Which I love.
- 14:43Every time I hear that song I forget how much I love it, but the energy that puts off, oh yeah, let's just stir the pot up a little bit, a little bit more.
- 14:50So this is when they start breaking off s- pieces of the stage and they start, tearing stuff apart.
- 14:55Yeah.
- 14:55And this is only day two.
- 14:56This is day two, yep.
- 14:57We also then get introduced to the rave hanger.
- 15:00Yes.
- 15:01Which I, that I literally probably would have- That's where you would have been stayed in line.
- 15:05I- as soon as they said it I was like,"That's Steph." Steph would've been there.
- 15:08I'm out here listening to them, looking for DMX, and Steph would've been in there like.
- 15:11No, I would've went to DMX.
- 15:12And then I would've went back.
- 15:13Okay, and then go back.
- 15:14Okay.
- 15:14Okay.
- 15:15But yeah, that's where, the ecstasy is Flowing freely.
- 15:18Flowing.
- 15:18And this is where we also learn that not only are our crowd goers off their butts, but our workers and our security people are either taking all the drugs that they can take, or they're selling their security shirts for$400 to just random people.
- 15:34Yeah.
- 15:35So in that same scene, we learn about I watched two different docs on this now,'cause I, there was another one on HBO and I was so intrigued.
- 15:43Because I read a review and it was like,"Oh, this one is way more- Oh, okay informational." Oh.
- 15:48Like, this is entertaining.
- 15:49Yeah.
- 15:49That one's informational.
- 15:50Okay.
- 15:50Well, I gotta have'em both.
- 15:51But, a girl was assaulted.
- 15:54Yeah.
- 15:54That they did- They, they did mention in that one.
- 15:56Okay.
- 15:57That they walked in and she, he was like,"She looked like she was 14 years old." And her pants were down, her top was up, and a guy was getting up, buckling his, trousers.
- 16:04And she was totally out.
- 16:05That's, the first time in the doc that we hear about the assaults- Yeah going on.
- 16:09Yep.
- 16:09And then we hear about the crowd surfing ladies who are getting their clothes- Getting their clothes ripped off they're getting their clothes ripped off, they're getting groped on every body part you can imagine.
- 16:18Mm-mm.
- 16:18Ugh.
- 16:19I just can't imagine- One I would never cross.
- 16:22There's, like, that's just not my thing.
- 16:23Mm-mm.
- 16:24And did I tell you, side note, when we went- Did you cross?
- 16:27No.
- 16:27Oh, okay.
- 16:28When we went to the first concert, with Dylan one of the band members, I think he was, an extra, band guy, didn't jump into the crowd, but, where he jumped it was, like, all girls.
- 16:37That's like- It's a bad choice so, Dylan was, onto the side of me.
- 16:40Where he jumped it was, me and, three other girls, and I was like,"Not it." Right.
- 16:43Right.
- 16:44I- It's like a movie where the crowd just, like, backs up I was like,"He's gonna squish me." Did not pay to get in here to be squished.
- 16:52So, and he just went boof, f- Right to the ground.
- 16:55Poor dude.
- 16:57Did he land on his feet or did he really dive?
- 16:59He dove.
- 16:59Oh, geez.
- 17:00Geez.
- 17:01He dove.
- 17:01Oh my gosh.
- 17:02Oh, We were all like,"Oh." Yeah.
- 17:04And Dylan's like,"Mom." I was like,"I didn't wanna get squished." I mean, you gotta protect yourself.
- 17:09That s- It was gonna hurt.
- 17:10Yeah.
- 17:11It was gonna hurt.
- 17:12It was gonna hurt.
- 17:12"That was just not a good spot." He could clearly see it was girls.
- 17:15Yeah.
- 17:15Yeah.
- 17:16That's why he did it,'cause it was girl.
- 17:17Like, there was, like, younger girls, next to me.
- 17:18But- I guess, but poor choice, dude.
- 17:20Oh.
- 17:20Hopefully he learned his lesson.
- 17:21Yeah.
- 17:21Jumping in to, to, I don't know what made me think of this, but, so day two we also meet this lady who, I don't remember her connection, if her mom was at Woodstock before.
- 17:32Is that what it was?
- 17:33And she was trying to keep it all peace, love, and harmony.
- 17:35And s- the second day she's riding around, on this golf cart thing or gator or something passing out trash bags like,"Pick up your trash." Like-"Everybody do their share." I was like,"Girl, I, I know where you're coming from, but you just need to go hide." The other worker lady was like,"She didn't know." She didn't know.
- 17:53She didn't know what, this was for.
- 17:54She did not know.
- 17:55I bet she saw some things.
- 17:57Yeah.
- 17:58So the kids were telling her,"I paid to be in here.
- 18:01You clean it up." Yes.
- 18:01That's what made me think of it.
- 18:03Yeah.
- 18:04The whole thing.
- 18:05That was- The frat boy Yes You know, rich kid, Did they start that then?
- 18:10Did our generation, start that entitlement stuff?
- 18:13I don't know.
- 18:14No, we did not.
- 18:15That's the millennials.
- 18:17I'm just kidding.
- 18:17Are you a millennial?
- 18:18I am, I think.
- 18:19Like, technically.
- 18:20I'm like, I think it starts at, 81 and I'm 82.
- 18:24Oh.
- 18:25I'm a Xennial.
- 18:26That's what- I think that's what I am.
- 18:27I'm 77.
- 18:28Yeah, it's like in, in between, the Gen X and millennial.
- 18:32Okay.
- 18:32Well, yeah, sure.
- 18:34But I get it.
- 18:34I paid to be here.
- 18:35I'm gonna do what I wanna do.
- 18:37Yeah.
- 18:37And not do what I wanna do.
- 18:38But this should've been included in my ticket.
- 18:41But again, like, I don't think that I would have just, thrown stuff wherever, like walking and- Well, but at the same time the trashcans were just overflowing Overflowing, yeah They said if you could find them.
- 18:51Yeah.
- 18:52Which I mean, I don't know if they were there or just camouflaged or- Yeah thrown at people.
- 18:56Who knows?
- 18:57This is also where we start seeing people being taken into triage- Yeah because of heat strokes and drug overdoses- Yep and all the things.
- 19:05Yep.
- 19:06And they said that it was like a war zone in there, people, like, bleeding and people- And like blood on the floor- Yeah and just, yeah.
- 19:12Running out of supplies.
- 19:14We need an EMT.
- 19:15Mm-hmm.
- 19:16Something to that effect.
- 19:17And yeah, he's just like,"I'm running out of supply.
- 19:19I ran out," basically.
- 19:20Yeah.
- 19:21Just all the things.
- 19:22Day two was also the day that they had to, have a helicopter fly in supplies.
- 19:26Yes.
- 19:27They had to have the army or whome- whatever, the Air Force, whichever branch of the military that they were at fly in supplies.
- 19:34What a freaking day.
- 19:36Yeah.
- 19:36What a freaking day.
- 19:37So- But energy was, like, not quite, crazy, crazy yet.
- 19:41Not yet.
- 19:42It, so- But it was building Right.
- 19:43So Fred Durst, heart him, not really him but Limp Bizkit.
- 19:48Because he did come off as a big jerk.
- 19:49He was like,"Not our fault." And I get it.
- 19:52Well, but again- He's doing his job I, I don't think that blaming him for- No, no the chaos- That, all of that was not Fred Durst Oh, you knew what- No you were getting when...
- 20:00Well- Right you know what they did say in the beginning that the older people did not know who any of these bands were, and they were- It's the other thing, when I'm watching who's, in charge of this, I'm like, it'd be like me trying to do it now.
- 20:11Pick the artists that I think are great now that would be good for something.
- 20:14No, that's a bad idea.
- 20:15Mm-hmm.
- 20:16That's a terrible idea.
- 20:17Um, what was a good idea was when Fred Durst said Phat, P-H-A-T.
- 20:22Forgot that was a thing.
- 20:23It made me laugh.
- 20:26I was like,"We were so stupid." It's Phat, man.
- 20:29It was Phat.
- 20:30But I did not like that they tried to, put all of that onto him, Right and saying, like, he was a jerk.
- 20:35He could've done...
- 20:35no, He was there to amp up the crowd.
- 20:38Yeah.
- 20:38So I don't disagree with him saying, like,"It's not our fault." I mean, it, it really- Right truly wasn't his fault.
- 20:43Right.
- 20:44He did his job.
- 20:45He did what he was there to do.
- 20:46He did.
- 20:46Nobody told him to do different, that we know of, and he did his thing.
- 20:50Side note, the other doc said that they were coming up to him, like, in between songs- To tell him to chill?
- 20:54telling him, like,"See if you can calm down the crowd." Okay.
- 20:56And he was like,"Dude, like, that's not what we do." I mean, and I get it.
- 21:00Yeah.
- 21:00I get it.
- 21:01I mean, how do you calm them down after you've just sang break stuff?
- 21:03Put Jewel on.
- 21:04I guess.
- 21:05I can't, I'm not a fan at all.
- 21:09I can't s- I've never.
- 21:12Hey, hey.
- 21:12Not a fan.
- 21:13It's true.
- 21:13No yeah, not a fan.
- 21:14Not a fan at all.
- 21:15So that kind of wraps up the second ep.
- 21:18Yeah.
- 21:18But did you hear her voice, though?
- 21:20On the doc she had that super baby, baby voice.
- 21:22Yeah.
- 21:23And then on her interview it's, a regular voice.
- 21:26So was that all just, a- Oh, I think just her gimmick, her thing.
- 21:29Okay.
- 21:30Yeah.
- 21:30'Cause I was like,"That's not the same." Just not a fan.
- 21:32Yeah.
- 21:32Not my type of music.
- 21:33Me either.
- 21:33So then I, I wanna say we get into ep three about now.
- 21:37Or, did we miss anything in ep two?
- 21:39Ep two, yeah,'cause at night...
- 21:40Oh, I don't know if this is ep two or ep three.
- 21:42Okay.
- 21:42The second night is, after Limp Bizkit was done and after, I think it was M- Metallica?
- 21:47I don't know.
- 21:47They didn't talk about- After- that one in this one.
- 21:49Um, okay.
- 21:50So whoever, was, the big acts for night two, nobody wanted to go in for the night or s- like, go to sleep, and they all, like, bum rushed the Rave hanger.
- 22:00Oh, yes.
- 22:01And that's where, what's the DJ's name?
- 22:04That voice line.
- 22:05Yes.
- 22:06Was, was, he was doing his set.
- 22:08Right.
- 22:08And- Right and they had to shut him down.
- 22:10Which, okay, pause He was the headliner.
- 22:14Fatboy Slim was the headliner.
- 22:16Mm-hmm.
- 22:17You have all of these other amazing groups and he's the headl- I guess back in that, I mean- But he- He had the one song, right?
- 22:24Well, I mean, he was like a known DJ, like- I know, but I guess they were supposed to- Like back, but back then, like DJs were like so big.
- 22:30I get, yeah.
- 22:32Yeah.
- 22:33Like- It just seems to me, I guess in retrospect looking back, I'm like, I would've picked anybody.
- 22:37But I don't know, whatever.
- 22:39Yeah.
- 22:39It just seemed weird.
- 22:40Yeah.
- 22:40But yeah, he was a well-known DJ, and he did his thing, and he's like,"I didn't even know there were any problems." Well, until.
- 22:47Until.
- 22:48Until they shut him down- Mm-hmm and they had to beeline it out of there.
- 22:51Like, they did not stay and hang out.
- 22:53They got out of there.
- 22:54They were like,"Leave your CDs.
- 22:55We'll get your CDs.
- 22:56Just go.
- 22:56Just go" Yeah, yeah.
- 22:58Yeah.
- 22:59Well, a- and he goes out on the stage, and I can't remember what exactly, but he's trying to get the crowd to hype back up, and he's like playing something and saying something about himself, like, and just over and over and over and o- and like it's building again and then here it comes.
- 23:13Yeah, Fatboy Slim.
- 23:15He got, he got cut short.
- 23:16The crowd was not happy.
- 23:17No.
- 23:18Again, I don't, m- maybe I should have waited to watch this other documentary.
- 23:21That's okay.
- 23:21But he said, in the interview, or what somebody said in the interview, they looked up and there was this like a wall of naked girls.
- 23:29Yes.
- 23:30And just a line of people behind them.
- 23:32Well, actually, if you go back and listen to it,'cause I did'cause I wanted to make sure I heard it correctly, for just this reason, a wall of naked people.
- 23:41Oh, people.
- 23:41Okay.
- 23:41And then a wall of naked people behind them.
- 23:44And- they said,"What, what was going on?
- 23:46What were they doing?" He said,"Which biblical word do you want me to use- Yeah.
- 23:49to explain it?" Lots of things happening right there.
- 23:52Just, again...
- 23:53Ew.
- 23:53other thing, like- I know again, Free love was a thing in the original Woodstock.
- 23:59We knew about STDs, we knew about AIDS, we knew about all these things.
- 24:03This is again, beating it to death, 1999.
- 24:06We knew by this time STDs are going around.
- 24:09We know about AIDS.
- 24:09We know the things.
- 24:10Just the amount of just, I know, I know- Body fluids that j- yeah.
- 24:16We knew better, I guess is my point.
- 24:18Mm-hmm.
- 24:18We, I wasn't there.
- 24:19I didn't do that.
- 24:20But, but it was common knowledge.
- 24:23things could happen.
- 24:23Yeah.
- 24:24Um, so yeah, Fatboy Slim is done.
- 24:26He's done for the night.
- 24:27Mm-hmm.
- 24:27And I guess they're trying to get the crowd to...
- 24:30And oh, remember, nobody's sleeping.
- 24:33No.
- 24:33They're all either high or just too many...
- 24:35I mean, I wouldn't sleep in that.
- 24:36I'd be scared to death.
- 24:37But no, you flash forward, like the next scene though, and you see people just sleeping everywhere.
- 24:42Yeah.
- 24:43But they probably fell asleep at like- Not in their tents 4:00 AM, right?
- 24:45They're like randomly just in the grass somewhere.
- 24:49Just wherever they happen to- By themselves.
- 24:50Not even with their people.
- 24:51Just- And again, they've lost their people now.
- 24:53Yeah.
- 24:54And that's terrifying.
- 24:55It is terrifying, especially looking back now and thinking of all the things, the...
- 24:59I'm sure there's things that happened that we don't even know about.
- 25:01Oh, I'm sure.
- 25:02You wanna roll into ep three?
- 25:03Yeah.
- 25:04Okay.
- 25:04So this is the final day.
- 25:05This is the final day.
- 25:07It starts us out with Willie Nelson.
- 25:09Yes.
- 25:09Which- Which is, like, a weird singing Amazing Grace, which is so ironic.
- 25:14again, don't know who picked these people out or made the lineup, but here we are.
- 25:18Yeah.
- 25:18Everybody's exhausted.
- 25:19Every single human there is just done.
- 25:22Well, they're exhausted.
- 25:23They're disgusting.
- 25:24Oh.
- 25:25The running water is actually, human waste.
- 25:28It's doo-doo water.
- 25:29So all of the porta potties- Yeah like, overflow, like, whatever.
- 25:32Yeah.
- 25:32It was just they were literally rolling around in human waste.
- 25:35All of the water was contaminated.
- 25:37So I took it as the im- uh, under the impression that they thought they just found some mud.
- 25:42Yes.
- 25:42And that the showers were crowded, and things were going on, and- They thought that that- And they thought- it was just like overflow of water from the showers Right but- So they were just rolling around in feces.
- 25:52It, ugh.
- 25:53I know.
- 25:54Disgusting.
- 25:54I know.
- 25:55Ugh.
- 25:56Stop.
- 25:58Literally though, covered head to toe.
- 25:59Like- Yes like rolling around like a pig in mud.
- 26:01Literally covered.
- 26:02And any water that they can find is not clear.
- 26:05Well, that, and people are drinking it.
- 26:08They were- Brushing their teeth with it.
- 26:09Yes.
- 26:10So, all, other than the bottles that are now$15 because everybody sold out- Yep on day two, so now you just have, two or three vendors that are left selling water for$15 a bottle, it was so hot, and there were so many people, and you were just sweating.
- 26:25Can...
- 26:26Oh.
- 26:26Oh, ugh.
- 26:28I, I don't like to go to caravans when it's hot.
- 26:31That- All the people.
- 26:33Nobody's showering.
- 26:34Nobody's putting on deodorant I know, it had to stink so- Nobody's wearing clothes freaking bad.
- 26:38And then the porta-pot, oh God.
- 26:40And there's like the, so the girls probably brushed their teeth.
- 26:42The dudes probably didn't care.
- 26:44All of that, plus puke from all the, whatever.
- 26:49Mm.
- 26:50Um, okay.
- 26:51So Willie sings.
- 26:54Again, crowd is just unsettled.
- 26:58Just that tension is continuing to build.
- 27:01Mm-hmm.
- 27:02People are still dropping like flies.
- 27:03Dropping like flies.
- 27:05Trash is everywhere.
- 27:06Again, exhausted, everybody's frustrated, and it was just turned into anarchy.
- 27:14So this, Jewel goes on on this episode, I think.
- 27:17Was it- Yeah day three?
- 27:18Yeah.
- 27:18Yeah.
- 27:18She was just like,"I don't even know what to do with this crowd." Yeah.
- 27:20They didn't want her there.
- 27:21That's not what they were there to see.
- 27:23I wouldn't have been either.
- 27:24I would've been booing her.
- 27:25Yeah.
- 27:25So she did her set and she got out of there.
- 27:29Yeah but she said that she felt it.
- 27:30She felt like something was building and building and building- Yeah and she didn't wanna be there for- Right when it exploded.
- 27:36And about this time, we start hearing that there are rumors that there's, a super secret closer or secret band coming out.
- 27:44I don't know who else could be better than these people.
- 27:46Mm-hmm.
- 27:46But they start saying, Guns N' Roses is coming out.
- 27:49Prince might be there.
- 27:50Yeah.
- 27:51Yeah, which Prince would've been really random in that group.
- 27:53Loved Prince, but Prince and Rage Against the Machine?
- 27:56Like anyway.
- 27:58But yeah, these rumors are starting, so people are, that excitement is thrown in there, too.
- 28:03So a lot of people did leave- Yes Sunday morning.
- 28:05They were just done, like- Yeah, don't blame them, and they interviewed them, and they're like,"It's terrible." This is Disgusting.
- 28:10Yeah.
- 28:11The smell was horrible.
- 28:12The people were horrible.
- 28:15Yeah.
- 28:15There's no food and water left.
- 28:17Right.
- 28:17Like, it was, they were done.
- 28:18Yeah.
- 28:19Which I probably, by day three, like that morning, I would've been done, too.
- 28:23Yeah.
- 28:23I wouldn't have wanted to stay.
- 28:25Right.
- 28:25I don't think.
- 28:26I don't think so either.
- 28:26Even back then.
- 28:27Especially for Willie and Jewel.
- 28:28Two days of not sleeping and not being able- And just 100 per- like partying 100%.
- 28:32Like you s- everybody's got to rest, man.
- 28:34I could do two, uh, two...
- 28:35Back then I could do two days.
- 28:36Three days was, that, that's pushing it.
- 28:38But not, just all the, all the things, everything that you can imagine is happening around you.
- 28:45Mm-hmm.
- 28:46Crazy.
- 28:46So you got people leaving.
- 28:47You got, a g- good amount of people still stayed, though.
- 28:49Yeah.
- 28:50And we go into the night where the closers of the concert are starting.
- 28:57It was, uh, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Okay.
- 28:59It was Red Hot Chi- and of course Flea's naked- Mm-hmm because that's what Flea does.
- 29:03Yeah.
- 29:03And, they sing Under the Bridge.
- 29:06Mm-hmm.
- 29:06So let me backpedal just a minute.
- 29:08this happened just a few months after the shooting at Columbine happened that spring.
- 29:12So it's very raw, and that was like the very first mass school shooting.
- 29:16Mm-hmm.
- 29:17It's just still on everybody's mind.
- 29:18So they decide at the end of this concert to kinda help for gun violence and stuff.
- 29:24Well, no, it was just like a random nonprofit group that brought the candles in.
- 29:28It wasn't the concert.
- 29:29The concert was saying,"This is not approved by the fire marshal." Well, he said that, but the other dude, I thought the Michael guy told him to be quiet, don't worry about it.
- 29:38Well, they did after the fact, but it was a random nonprofit- Okay that brought all these candles in.
- 29:42It was not a planned thing.
- 29:46Okay.
- 29:47Okay.
- 29:47And the person that was over it was just like,"Just let it go." Okay.
- 29:51It's a good choice.
- 29:52Okay.
- 29:53Yeah.
- 29:53They decide that they're gonna bring out 100,000 candles, and, these people that they have taken their water and everything from, and they've made angry, and they've taken all their lighters and all the things, that they're not gonna give them fire People haven't slept in days And there's tweaking Yeah all the things.
- 30:08So they give them the candles and some of the people are saying that they're interviewing, the workers and such that like,"Oh, it was really beautiful." All of a sudden you start seeing the light spread, and I'm sure it was.
- 30:18Mm-hmm.
- 30:19And then- Everything went on fire.
- 30:22Just fires everywhere.
- 30:24Well, not just the fires, though.
- 30:26Now you've got all these angry people.
- 30:28You've got fires lighting up in all these different locations.
- 30:31Mm-hmm.
- 30:31They literally torched the vendor alley.
- 30:34Yes.
- 30:35Because they were so angry that they were price gouging and whatever.
- 30:39And then somebody saw the ATM machines, and they decided they were gonna just do what they could to get into them.
- 30:45Smashing- Yeah with everything that they possibly could, trying to get to the money.
- 30:49Yeah.
- 30:49And then they started tearing down the towers.
- 30:51The towers are going down.
- 30:53And me, now at this age, I'm like,"Oh my God." Yeah.
- 30:56The people that were on the top of the tower, Uh-huh waving and I'm like,"Oh, they're gonna, they're gonna get- That's terrible.
- 31:00That was a hard...
- 31:01That was a big fall, yeah they're gonna be squished like a bug." Yeah.
- 31:06So just more chaos.
- 31:08Yeah.
- 31:09One of the people were like,"It looked like Bosnia" Yeah or something like that.
- 31:12I mean, it's just a big, huge freaking riot.
- 31:14It was.
- 31:15okay, so I'm, like, in two different head spaces, right?
- 31:17I'm in, how I was back then.
- 31:18Now and then.
- 31:19And then me as a parent now.
- 31:20And it was such a mind F To think about Dylan being there?
- 31:27Oh my gosh.
- 31:28When we went to the concert here, and it was just like a country rock concert.
- 31:32Yeah.
- 31:32It was not this.
- 31:33Yeah.
- 31:33The amount of fights that almost occurred or whatever, and so I was, like, in two different head spaces watching all of this- Mm-hmm thinking like,"Oh, sweet Jesus." Yeah.
- 31:44Okay, VJs are still there.
- 31:45They're reporting out.
- 31:47They, I think it was kind of covered up at, a little bit at the beginning that it was kind of getting out of control, but by this point, when you've just got blazes behind you, think about the parents that were watching this and knowing their children are there.
- 31:58They can't get a hold of them.
- 31:59And there's no cell phones, no...
- 32:01They might've had their beeper.
- 32:02Pa- pagers.
- 32:03I did have one.
- 32:04I had a purple one.
- 32:05I had a pager too.
- 32:06A beeper.
- 32:08I mean, Yeah yeah.
- 32:10Terrifying.
- 32:11Mm.
- 32:11Terrifying.
- 32:11So we've got flames, we got buildings crashing.
- 32:14I think they're taking the walls down at this point.
- 32:17And then this is about the time, if I remember correctly, that they're having some meetings, they're being, like, the city It was right before- Okay everything happened.
- 32:28They had done yeah.
- 32:29The news conference- Yes, yes saying,"Everything's great.
- 32:31Everything's perfect.
- 32:31The kids had a blast." Right.
- 32:33"Everything went smoothly." And then they're like,"We've got three hours left.
- 32:35It'll be fine." Yeah.
- 32:36Something like that.
- 32:37Yeah.
- 32:37Mm-hmm.
- 32:38And just some of the comments that they're saying about everybody's just, you know, peachy, and, and it's like, dude.
- 32:44He's loving rock and roll.
- 32:45Yeah, yeah.
- 32:46Dude, you had no idea, or you're a really good liar.
- 32:49Oh, and the mayor, whoever, I don't know, whatever, was like,"I just wanna take this moment to say come back next year," or whatever.
- 32:55And I'm like, oh my God, you have no clue what's going on.
- 32:58So we've just got, like I said, pure anarchy at this point.
- 33:01Yeah.
- 33:01Things are just- the one dude said it best, and he was like, what did he say?
- 33:05Lord of the Flies.
- 33:07That too, but he was like, gas, match, boom, or something like that.
- 33:10That's exactly just we're there.
- 33:13We've boomed.
- 33:14Yeah.
- 33:14We, we're at the booming point now.
- 33:16You know what really got me too about this is, the females participating.
- 33:21Mm-hmm.
- 33:21Like, usually it's the dudes are the angry and whatever, and I saw some girls getting all into it and stuff too.
- 33:28I think, it was contagious.
- 33:30It was everything.
- 33:30It was just- I, what that mob mentality.
- 33:33Yeah.
- 33:33Yeah.
- 33:34Agreed.
- 33:35Look at your face was like,"Ah." It gives me anxiety thinking about it.
- 33:39I know.
- 33:39I know.
- 33:39Just all, all the, the bad, bad, bad things that rolled in to make that happen.
- 33:43So then we have the police rolling in.
- 33:46Yeah.
- 33:47Finally.
- 33:48Trying to break this up.
- 33:49And y- mind you, there's still, like, 150,000 people there.
- 33:52And I mean, how many I don't even know how many cops they had in that little town that they would need to bring.
- 33:58You would They should have, brought in military or- That's what I was thinking.
- 34:01What is it called when they bring in, the- National Guard.
- 34:03Yes.
- 34:04Mm-hmm.
- 34:04So- And fires, fire people are coming, or they ask them to come, and then weren't they like,"I'm not going in there, I'm scared to go in there." Mm-hmm.
- 34:10Same twin.
- 34:12Fire me.
- 34:13Right.
- 34:14But they, yeah, they were trying to get them to put the fires out, and they were like,"No." I mean, I don't blame them.
- 34:19That's a scary environment.
- 34:20It's like going into a prison when everybody's not in their little cellies.
- 34:23Shut up Have you ever been to a prison?
- 34:29No, but I feel like I'd love to go tour one Not when there's prisoners there.
- 34:38Or- That shit down yeah, like Alcatraz.
- 34:41Yeah.
- 34:42Isn't that on an island?
- 34:43It is.
- 34:44Yeah.
- 34:45I could, I think the island's called Alcatraz, right?
- 34:47Yeah.
- 34:47Mm-hmm.
- 34:47Off of San Francisco.
- 34:49Mm-hmm.
- 34:49I would like to go.
- 34:52No?
- 34:52You're not gonna be my travel buddy with that one?
- 34:53Um, I probably would, but I would want, a complete lockdown.
- 34:59Well, but it's not in use anymore.
- 35:00Yeah, I know, but it's still,, I would want to make sure that there's no, like, stragglers or, people- No stragglers that have been there for 50 years No, people that that take over, places.
- 35:07Oh, yeah.
- 35:08Squatters.
- 35:09Yeah.
- 35:10Hmm.
- 35:10We're ruined for life watching all these docs.
- 35:12Yeah.
- 35:13Mm-hmm.
- 35:14Okay.
- 35:14So the police come and everything, so then we start to get into some interviews about the aftermath.
- 35:19Mm-hmm.
- 35:19They're still denying that there was problems.
- 35:21I don't understand.
- 35:23But you had, I think it was still one of the MTV people, they sent a lot of the, they told M- MTV, like,"You're on your own, like, get out now." Right.
- 35:29"You're, like, the, we are telling you this is not safe.
- 35:31Get out." And it was, one dude that was still left with the cameraman, and they were, like, chasing the chaos.
- 35:37Oh my gosh.
- 35:39They were in a, like they were war reporters.
- 35:41That's it.
- 35:43Well, that was another point, too.
- 35:45When they're, when some of the people are leaving and then they're jumping out with their cam- they're like,"Is your camera on?" And I'm thinking,"Oh my God, that was, like, probably one of the very first times that somebody filmed something that was even any kind of important.
- 35:55So they're doing interviews, denying things are happening.
- 35:59Just conversations and just people had a great time.
- 36:02Yeah.
- 36:03Meanwhile, the entire place was set on fire.
- 36:05There's still smoke.
- 36:07And the asphalt's melting.
- 36:08Right.
- 36:08There's still smoke.
- 36:09There's still a lot of argument about, like- They haven't done one since, though.
- 36:14They haven't done one since.
- 36:15But, was it set up to fail, or was it just a lot of bad choices?
- 36:19I think that they went in with good intentions, but it was so expensive that they couldn't foot the bill up front, and that's when you started getting sponsors that- Mm-hmm they had, no cap of what they could charge.
- 36:31I didn't even think about that.
- 36:32Can you imagine how much it cost to get all of those artists in there?
- 36:35Not to mention the sets and the stage and the...
- 36:39Well, they didn't pay their security, I don't think.
- 36:41They just gave them a flashlight.
- 36:42But but yeah, that was very expensive.
- 36:46Mm-hmm.
- 36:47That was very expensive.
- 36:48They cut a lot of corners is what happened.
- 36:50Yeah.
- 36:50it wasn't intentional for what happened- Right but cutting the corners was a decision.
- 36:55Well, and it had lot, of foresight.
- 36:57No, and they made no money.
- 36:59Right.
- 36:59They lost money.
- 37:00They lost money on that.
- 37:01But, think about, okay, it's July.
- 37:03Mm-hmm.
- 37:05It's hot.
- 37:05Mm-hmm.
- 37:06We need water.
- 37:07Mm-hmm.
- 37:09Non-contaminated water.
- 37:10Non-con- non-doo-doo water.
- 37:13That's disgusting.
- 37:14Well, at this point now, right, so, they're doing the interviews, you're seeing the people that were there, and the girl with the very Christian family said that she woke up on Sunday morning and had sores all over her mouth.
- 37:25Yes.
- 37:26Yes.
- 37:27Um, and in- inside of her mouth.
- 37:28In her throat.
- 37:29Her- She couldn't, yeah, she couldn't really swallow- Everything very well, and she went to the hospital Uh-huh and had, Trench mouth trench mouth, yes.
- 37:37Which is something that- From- like our, from- feces yeah, anyway, very bad.
- 37:41You shouldn't get that from a concert.
- 37:42No.
- 37:43No.
- 37:43I didn't know it developed that fast, though.
- 37:45I don't know.
- 37:45It w- that, I was like,"Ugh." I know.
- 37:48"Ugh." And I'm sure she wasn't the only one.
- 37:49No.
- 37:50It's so gross.
- 37:51It's so- It was so gross.
- 37:53So gross.
- 37:54And then, we touched on it just a little bit, too, about the at least one girl we know that was violated.
- 37:59I'm sure, one girl, many were groped and touched and all the things.
- 38:04That pissed me off.
- 38:05So in other doc, which is on HBO, and I'm, it might be streaming on other places, but- Mm-hmm I watched it on HBO Max.
- 38:11They said that they had a group of girls that were there that left early because it was unsafe for women there.
- 38:18Yes, yes.
- 38:19Set up after the fact a hotline, for girls that were there to call in to be able to talk about it because It was so traumatizing the response was like,"There's nobody here that can do anything, so what's the point of telling anybody?" Mm-hmm.
- 38:31Nobody went to security.
- 38:32Nobody, reported it- Mm-hmm because it was- It did no good.
- 38:35There was nobody honestly, it was- Yeah anarchy Yeah.
- 38:37It was Lord of the Flies.
- 38:39Yeah.
- 38:39Yeah.
- 38:40Yeah.
- 38:40And she said it was like calls coming in.
- 38:45Uh, uh, there was a lot of women- Yeah that were not on this first doc that- No, they're on that HBO one-on-one uh-huh.
- 38:52It was just, okay, I mean, yeah, they had their tops off, but that doesn't say touch me.
- 38:56And they kept showing all the different views of, them, I don't know, being on somebody's shoulders and other hands just being on their bodies.
- 39:04Like- So that's also the time when, Girls Gone Wild.
- 39:08Oh, that, I wanted to talk about that, too.
- 39:10That was the thing.
- 39:11Yeah.
- 39:11That was the age of Girls Gone Wild.
- 39:12It was.
- 39:13Where they were trying to make- It cool Yeah.
- 39:16But that still doesn't say touch me.
- 39:18No.
- 39:18I know you know that.
- 39:19I know that- Yeah that's not what you're saying, but- But I'm saying like that, I- That was- that might have been the mindset of these girls, right?
- 39:23I don't know why you would ever wanna be on those, and y- they're not paying you.
- 39:28Like, it's not- Right like you're getting paid to do it.
- 39:29Right.
- 39:30It's just to look cool, I guess.
- 39:31The, the dudes are making money, not you.
- 39:32Yeah.
- 39:32Well, Girls Gone Wild, and also, Spring Break on MTV stuff, where they were doing this kind of stuff.
- 39:38It was- Playboy was really big back then.
- 39:40Yeah, yeah.
- 39:40I mean, at that timeframe.
- 39:41Yeah.
- 39:41The, the- And I'm sure this stuff happened before, but we were seeing it now, maybe for the first time, that it was, like, public knowledge that these things were going on, so...
- 39:50And, and like, them sticking their hands in their shorts.
- 39:52The dudes sticking their hands in their shorts that just really, really, like- Mm-hmm.
- 39:57Yeah.
- 39:58They haven't had one since.
- 40:00Don't think they'll have another one.
- 40:01Mm-hmm.
- 40:02Ever.
- 40:03It's so sad.
- 40:03Mm-hmm.
- 40:04In theory it sounds amazing.
- 40:07Like I said, all those bands, and you were, you were- Mm-hmm same thing.
- 40:10You'd be there for the bands and go to the rave thing, and they come back.
- 40:12just lack of organization and planning and communication and all of the things- Mm-hmm just turned into a really bad situation.
- 40:21It was a hot mess.
- 40:22Uh-huh.
- 40:22And when they announced it, I was like,"Oh, that'd be so cool." Yeah.
- 40:24And again, we're watching it, uh, in real time.
- 40:28Yeah.
- 40:28And you're like,"That's kinda crazy." Yeah.
- 40:30It didn't feel real.
- 40:31Mm-hmm.
- 40:32Watching it.
- 40:32Watching Kurt Loder or whoever.
- 40:34It was like, That can't be that bad.
- 40:35Like, they planned it.
- 40:36They're there.
- 40:37It's gotta be fine.
- 40:38It's fine." Mm-hmm.
- 40:39'Cause they were the, they're the adults in the room.
- 40:40Yeah.
- 40:41I'm not really a real adult yet.
- 40:42Mm-hmm.
- 40:43Yeah.
- 40:44But, I'm not a real adult yet.
- 40:45Now.
- 40:46Same.
- 40:46Like- Same, yeah, same.
- 40:47I have my moments, but very few and far between.
- 40:50I'm always looking for a more adultier adult.
- 40:51Adulty adult, yeah, yeah.
- 40:54really great docuseries.
- 40:56I really enjoyed that one.
- 40:57Me too.
- 40:57So watch that, especially if you're, like, around our age.
- 40:59You'll really just jump right into the nostalgia of everything.
- 41:03See, Dylan grew up also listening to Limp Bizkit.
- 41:06Yeah.
- 41:07And so he knew, uh, most of the bands- Yeah that had played.
- 41:11Yeah.
- 41:11So when he was watching it, he was like,"Oh," he knew most of the music.
- 41:14Yeah.
- 41:15So even if you're a little bit younger, you probably- Yes if you had awesome parents that g- loved- That loved to, yes loved good music.
- 41:21Yeah.
- 41:21Yeah.
- 41:22Yes, absolutely.
- 41:24Absolutely.
- 41:24Very good.
- 41:24Mm-hmm.
- 41:25Highly recommend.
- 41:26Definitely.
- 41:27And then after you watch the Netflix one,'cause that is much more entertaining- Mm-hmm the HBO one was really good too.
- 41:33Yeah.
- 41:34More factual it was a little bit more serious.
- 41:36Okay.
- 41:36Like a serious take on it.
- 41:38Okay.
- 41:38And you got more, factual stuff.
- 41:41Okay.
- 41:41You know?
- 41:41Yeah, yeah.
- 41:42I wanna go find it but there is a part in there that will make you furious.
- 41:46Ugh, great, just what I need, more anger.
- 41:49Anyway.
- 41:50All right.
- 41:50Well, we hope that you enjoyed today's not so mini ep.
