- 4:35that as well as there's like a pop culture thing.
- 4:38We're doing is going to like just pop culture reviews, where
- 4:40me and you we'll talk about Out a little bit.
- 4:42Here are going to be collaborating.
- 4:43You're going to see us more on screen more often as well.
- 4:48But yeah. So you come from a very musical
- 4:51background family. You, your family is probably the
- 4:55O G's of the school county music scene.
- 4:57You've been on the podcast, on my older stuff.
- 4:59Many a times I believe your first, your first beer
- 5:02experience was on camera with me.
- 5:04Yeah, I think so. Yeah, around the block a lot.
- 5:08So if people are new to the a BJ scene, you're probably new to
- 5:11this. It's relationship because a lot
- 5:13of people who support are not people from around here, which
- 5:15is beautiful. But like I said, I've been doing
- 5:19this a minute but let's the reason we're here talking today
- 5:22is you just got off tour with the ban handguns?
- 5:25Yeah, let's talk about this. How did you land the gig?
- 5:29First off the first time because you've been with them for a
- 5:31little bit now on and on, yeah. How did you land the spot with
- 5:34handguns and let's talk about handguns of who they are.
- 5:36So handguns is pretty much like founded by.
- 5:41Jake Langley, Marco flurry. I hope I said his name, right?
- 5:46If not, I'm gonna feel bad and Nathan.
- 5:48I think, Nathan Bob, I don't know if Nate Bob was one of the
- 5:51original co-founders. There's like, there's like so
- 5:54many iterations of this band. It's crazy.
- 5:58And that's why I, like, every show we've ever played.
- 6:02I'm pretty sure. Jake was, like, just so you guys
- 6:04know, handguns is not like a band.
- 6:06It's like a community, basically.
- 6:08It's like, it's like a football team like there.
- 6:10He's like, Never see us on tour with the same members twice,
- 6:14almost think. I think, as of right now, I'm
- 6:20not the most consistent member but like, I guess touring member
- 6:23was because Jacob, your the you've been here, the most like
- 6:27prominently like on this last toys, like you've been here the
- 6:30most prominently. But um, yeah.
- 6:32How I got it was my uncle. I don't even know how my I don't
- 6:36even know how Eddie toured with them.
- 6:38Like I don't even know how he said.
- 6:39He's just love music. Just lat.
- 6:41He's everywhere. U-dub Glory them for like music
- 6:45slot these all over the place then but um, yeah, so he like he
- 6:50was on tour with them in like early, 2019.
- 6:54All yo I just was I was just listening to the his episode
- 6:58literally like an hour ago. I love Donnie.
- 7:02What's popping man? That's so cool Eddie.
- 7:08Yeah, Eddie was on tour with them early. 20:19, I think
- 7:14earlier in 2019 because then I like hopped on towards, like,
- 7:18December, October, and he bring you on stage because you are a
- 7:21fan of them. Yeah, yeah.
- 7:23He is like, like a week before the one show.
- 7:27He's like, hey, you should learn, you know, porch light,
- 7:29right? And I was like, yeah, I know.
- 7:31And he's like, okay, cool. You're gonna play that with us
- 7:34or you might play that with us and then Jake was like, I've
- 7:37always wanted to do the Green Day thing where I just like drag
- 7:40people up. On stage and be like this is
- 7:44like an unknown fan. So you don't know us big like,
- 7:47don't don't like you don't know. Eddie.
- 7:49You don't know any of us. So like so that was like a but
- 7:53you know, the song you yeah, yeah.
- 7:56Basically like it happens all the time to Steel Panther brings
- 7:58a kid on stage who somehow knows their entire thing and plays it
- 8:01perfectly. And that's when you find out,
- 8:03the kid has a YouTube channel and he's been playing drums
- 8:05like, yeah, he's been playing his whole life.
- 8:07He's like I'm playing the same song for forever.
- 8:10He said, seven, Did it's crazy because like I was probably
- 8:15listening to handguns, when I was like 14 13 like really
- 8:20young. Yeah.
- 8:21Like like they just put out one of their first records with like
- 8:27the label I think I got ya 2012, 2013 somewhere around there had
- 8:31to be so I was pretty young and I just like fell in love with
- 8:35this album and then listen to it like everyday.
- 8:39I don't think we've ever played my favorite song.
- 8:41And it's called long, long, October, because it's like about
- 8:46Long December and it's like a whole thing.
- 8:49But yes, that's one of my favorite songs by them and
- 8:53they're just like, you know, really chill dudes.
- 8:55Really, really cool dude. But I have Harrisburg correct,
- 8:59Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. They're just everywhere.
- 9:01There's no like basis because they all just live all over the
- 9:05place, like their original singer.
- 9:07I don't even know if he was from PA or lived near Pi.
- 9:11Don't even. No.
- 9:13Yeah basically. But so after that show where I
- 9:17played the song with them they went on tour again and I guess
- 9:20they called Eddie and I was like I can't do it.
- 9:23Like I'm I guess he was doing Crobat things at the time.
- 9:26Yeah. And and Jake was like a fucking
- 9:29just message, your nephew facing lie and then I got this text and
- 9:34he's like, hey it's Jake, you want to do this tour, what's up?
- 9:39He's like you know, these songs And I'm pretty much just said,
- 9:43yes, almost immediately not thinking about like what I had
- 9:46done agreeing to go on tour and then I don't know the first time
- 9:51you've ever packed up a bag and whatnot.
- 9:53Or yeah. This is my first time playing in
- 9:56public almost almost almost at you.
- 10:01I think the first time you ever played in public was like every
- 10:04now and then Eddie would bring you on stage and you do like a
- 10:06song, a Goodfellas? I think I was I think the first
- 10:09time you ever played on stage was Goodfellas, if I'm not
- 10:10mistaken. Yeah.
- 10:11Yeah, and then you did a coffee shop thing and then you play
- 10:14that Strikers like the sun away. Yeah.
- 10:16It was the same tip. You're dipping your toes in the
- 10:19water and and then you're like, yeah, I'm gonna go full bloat or
- 10:24yeah bullying things so funny is.
- 10:25So that yeah, those were my first performance as we're like,
- 10:30Eddie would bring me up for a song and my mom would bring me
- 10:32up for a song. Yeah, in like it was so weird
- 10:37because the one day my mom was like, hey do you want to like
- 10:40open for us and I was Like, I guess so.
- 10:43So I then I had to build a set and I never had a set.
- 10:45I just like, played like a song, like, two songs even.
- 10:49My pop had brought me up on stage like, well, they were,
- 10:53they were like playing and then they do like their intermittent
- 10:55break and he's like, you want to play like three songs while we
- 10:57like take a break. So, I play like three songs and
- 11:00like, I think at that time I was playing, like, ocean, man, like
- 11:04ween, like, just the most ridiculous stuff, but people
- 11:08would be like, why are you like, this is cool.
- 11:10But like, why are Are you playing this music?
- 11:13And like Ana's the music I want to hear live, like I just, I'm
- 11:17not like catering to anybody at that time.
- 11:21I even now, like I'm not catering to, you know, the the
- 11:26scene or the area like I play what I want to play and if
- 11:29people think is cool, that's cool.
- 11:32I haven't had any complaints yet but you know what I mean?
- 11:35Like, but yeah. So my moms like you want to do
- 11:39this 40 minutes set or whatever? I was like, I could try and then
- 11:44in that same night, Tim mangle messages me and he's like, hey,
- 11:48you want to play a pressed? And it just happens to be the
- 11:51same exact day. So, I messaged Chris Bowers from
- 11:57Light of the Moon and I'm, like, I need you, bro.
- 12:00Like, can you please help me? I can't play guitar, and sing.
- 12:04At the same time, like, the songs that I'm doing right now,
- 12:07like I didn't think this through and he's, like, I got you, bro.
- 12:10Yeah, that's a beautiful thing about our local music scene man.
- 12:13Is everyone, everyone's got each other's back and everyone's got
- 12:15each other support. And if you're going to jump into
- 12:18a world like this, everyone's kind of like it and encourage
- 12:21you, and put you in the right positions to do it.
- 12:25Especially here, I feel like I wasn't super Like stoked at
- 12:31first I was pretty terrified to like do.
- 12:33Absolutely your start playing live?
- 12:37Yeah, it's a well it's like a really weird experience when
- 12:41everyone you know plays an instrument of some sort or is
- 12:44like talented and then like I feel like that's a lot to live
- 12:47up to you know what I mean? And so like separating yourself
- 12:51from the people around you is like a thing because it's like
- 12:56you're your things a little easier because your last name
- 12:58was try and knock knock Collins. Oh, no.
- 13:01No way. No.
- 13:02Because people will still say, oh, you're the Collins kid.
- 13:05Yeah. Absolutely.
- 13:07And it's like, I get it because they associate me, but no one
- 13:12ever calls me like, you know, Billy Collins, which would be
- 13:15really weird but like, yeah, I was like, oh yeah.
- 13:18Yeah, you can kind of like hide a little bit.
- 13:20Yeah. Not even though a lot even
- 13:24because like you would think that but do so All right, hold
- 13:29on. Like just weave.
- 13:31So we play those two shows and then like Jake calls me.
- 13:34And I go out on that first tour in.
- 13:37Even on that first tour we played a show in North Carolina
- 13:42with like there's a band assuming we survive we were
- 13:47sharks we were sharks ended up blowing up in there on Pure
- 13:50Noise Records assuming we survive as a big band and their
- 13:52lead singer is the lead singer of zebra head which was a big
- 13:57band in like to The early 2000s or whatever.
- 14:00So that was pretty crazy but acting with what the drummer of
- 14:04blood. Yeah, and we just did the, yeah
- 14:06that's insane. Can't believe that.
- 14:09Well, but I just stole the microphone to karaoke.
- 14:12All night long is he like are you the we fact check that.
- 14:15Was that true? No, not at all.
- 14:17I was so drunk and high, I did not even pay attention.
- 14:25I mean, I wouldn't doubt it the way that he was acting.
- 14:27I could see it. I'm going to have him play a
- 14:30song that funny. We'll get into that little
- 14:37circle box. If you're if someone's
- 14:38listening, please remind us. Make sure we tell that story.
- 14:41Thanks chewy tell that just just right.
- 14:42New Year's let some point is you just put your so think I just
- 14:50robbed like CBD. Oh my God.
- 14:58We're playing the show in North Carolina and just some random
- 15:01dudes, like, yeah, Billy Trail like a, who the like, how do you
- 15:06know me? Like, I think people just find
- 15:09my Instagram either via handguns or just like whatever other
- 15:13pop-punk artists because like, since I do the streaming thing
- 15:17and like Discord, my friends like play in bands that are
- 15:21bigger than I could ever imagine.
- 15:23Like and like I say, friends, very Loosely is like
- 15:25acquaintances, you know, like where Like there's this band
- 15:30free throw Cory. The lead singer.
- 15:34I played him in NHL a couple times and like beat him like
- 15:37several times on his live stream but like we did that was that
- 15:40was like so that was our relationship and I made I made
- 15:44an acoustic song and sent it to him and it's literally just me
- 15:49like playing the guitar being like Cory.
- 15:51You suck. It NHL like I'm way better than
- 15:55you. Like it's a good thing.
- 15:57You have a band. Yeah, it's like it's a good
- 15:59thing. You have a band because you'll
- 16:01never be like a professional gamer.
- 16:04Like just like shit talking. So that's my relationship with
- 16:10other people is just mad trash talking better musicians because
- 16:17I'm better at gaming. We ever finish our game of NHL.
- 16:20I think we try to start one three times and every time
- 16:22something happened. Yeah, I don't think we ever did
- 16:27we, we played each other. Yeah, we're supposed to play
- 16:29each other in Tyler's garage and we started and then like a
- 16:32controller messed up so we had to stop and then we were going
- 16:35to play on the projector on Tyler's house and it started
- 16:38raining. Yeah we played like literally
- 16:41the first like a period first period every time yeah we never
- 16:46finished never finished. Never finished the game of NHL.
- 16:50Yeah. Well I guess you'll never know
- 16:51what it's like to lose then but it was tied the whole time.
- 16:55There was never a clear run away.
- 16:57Exactly. Yeah.
- 16:58Yeah, I just can't score a goal going there.
- 17:01So it is going down. So like we played on the same
- 17:03screen. I have like when you play online
- 17:05at kind of adjust, you to see your always facing up and I
- 17:10can't score goes down. So I think every time we played
- 17:13two I had to start going down and I can't I couldn't do it.
- 17:16Yeah yeah I agree. It's a different mechanic
- 17:20because you're doing everything backwards almost.
- 17:22Yeah I could barely do it. Regular apparently completely
- 17:25just like I'm really I'm decent at defense and NHL Just can't
- 17:29score. Yeah.
- 17:30You like I'm good at getting in the way.
- 17:32Yeah, I'm the sergeant. I'll slide my stick in.
- 17:35I'll put my body out there. I could play defense and not
- 17:38score. I shoot from outside every time.
- 17:40Oh my gosh. Maybe that's on Game Pass.
- 17:43We can maybe we can make the yeah, I have to get Game Pass
- 17:47again but I just like I think pass as the EA access so that
- 17:50will all be in there. Yeah, it has yeah access.
- 17:54So it has like Skate 3 and all that stuff.
- 17:57Remember when we tried to play I skate 3 2 and like servers were
- 18:01down. It was really the music.
- 18:02It's coming out this year, right?
- 18:04I don't know if it's this year, but they have been teasing it so
- 18:07that would be nice. A free-to-play to.
- 18:10Oh my God, we look in the skateboard.
- 18:17All right, that's good. That's going to happen a lot in
- 18:18this pocket and then take really weird siding.
- 18:20Like a TD angles here. Yeah, so do your do your first
- 18:24tour? You're all over the place.
- 18:26You come back. What is your like, I remembered
- 18:28Like we hung out a lot before you went on tour and then you
- 18:33came back and I was like Billy, you're, you're completely out of
- 18:36your shell. Now, like you were completely
- 18:38broken like, not broken in a bad way, but like, you needed that
- 18:41it was like a rebirth for you like personality wise.
- 18:44Like, you weren't School County. You weren't in your room, you
- 18:48you kind of, cuz you always like, I was kind of your deal.
- 18:50You wouldn't really leave your house, you would really go out
- 18:52much. You were starting to do side
- 18:53then, let's just very much. Just when I needed to work left.
- 18:58Pretty much. Yeah, and then you went on tour
- 19:00and then came back and you're like let's all go out all the
- 19:02time and do stuff. This is Billy.
- 19:06Yeah, it's yeah, I don't know. It was really weird.

- 21:01book bag and then like go to random places and then pull it
- 21:05out and be like oh we always joked about it when I was used
- 21:08to do stuff with the boys upstairs and I think they
- 21:10actually did it one night as a joke and I wasn't Therefore and
- 21:14I was pissed where I was like, you know, you should just show
- 21:16up one night at a bar and just start sending them and they did
- 21:21these fucking idiots did it. They did it at a and they get
- 21:25booked there. Now, like that's like a part.
- 21:27They get booked. What's that bar?
- 21:29That's down by Wieck pot in Pottsville, will you pass the
- 21:32police station? You're down by wise but still on
- 21:34the Main Street, it's like a really.
- 21:37So now the Crimson house. No.
- 21:39The others to be that used to be the grace.
- 21:41No no no, no. The other is passed to
- 21:43Greystone. Um, it's still on that side of
- 21:44the street of the Greystone, but it's on the next block.
- 21:48It's a bar that everyone sits outside of like by sorry.
- 21:50It's like in between Sarge's in the Greystone, it's kind of in
- 21:52the middle there. I don't even know.
- 21:55I don't really don't go to anybody.
- 21:57They are playing and I was like, yeah, yeah, we're here.
- 22:01And they just played and then Vistas are ruining the Jukebox
- 22:05and people had money in the Jukebox.
- 22:07Do, I have to hear the whole story but Tom and Steve told me
- 22:10about him like that is amazing. Also, if you want a bj stickers,
- 22:14I left a whole stack of stickers.
- 22:16That's full. In the music store.
- 22:18So if you are listening local and you want some stickers and
- 22:20you don't know where to get them, they're free, just go
- 22:22Fulton the music. Grab a couple dude.
- 22:25I asked, I think I asked him, I meant to ask him.
- 22:28I was like, you know, if I get like, I have these pics, if I
- 22:32get more like made, can I just, like, put them here?
- 22:35Like you don't even have to sell them, or you could sell them for
- 22:38like, a dollar or whatever. Like, I don't care and I don't
- 22:41remember. If he said yes or no.
- 22:45So I'm gonna have to ask him again.
- 22:46Be like couldn't like with nickel II really reached out and
- 22:53figured out his schedule, but we were doing like I was
- 22:55interviewing bands and then I would have them do like an
- 22:58acoustic set and I would film it and then put the acoustic set on
- 23:02YouTube for like people. See, I want to do that again.
- 23:04I think that'd be a lot of fun. Did you do?
- 23:06You did do that before or you just plant him.
- 23:09I did it with him and I did it with Beelzebub.
- 23:13And I did it with hoody blah and we filmed.
- 23:16We filmed like a little acoustic said I was like.
- 23:18That was a lot of fun. I wanted to do.
- 23:20I definitely remember the Tim and obviously I remember Bob's
- 23:24because when I saw Bob's I was like man why have I never seen
- 23:27him live and still have yet to see him play.
- 23:30Le I only saw him play one time and it was Tims, Tim's
- 23:36headlining set know Tim's headlining set at the Yuengling
- 23:39mansion and it was As Bob's band.
- 23:45I think they're called proper punctuation, man.
- 23:48Well, then what's your bills above and screaming demons?
- 23:51And then they have another bad word.
- 23:52Yeah. It was the screaming demons.
- 23:54The other ones like that junk or something.
- 23:57I don't know. It's like, oh no.
- 24:01We're not live at Billy, do you think?
- 24:07It's a goblin City rat Island City rap.
- 24:10Well, I know it was rat. Something I know there was a rat
- 24:12in the name is so good. Yeah, I love that.
- 24:19I love that artwork. I saw the pin when they played
- 24:23and I always say Pilger. So I'm saying Pilger rough.
- 24:29Go Guru. Is it Pilgrim?
- 24:31I kept oh, girl. I would say the wrong thing.
- 24:33Then I say the right thing. Incorrect.
- 24:36That's why I said, I don't know, I could be wrong to.
- 24:39I don't know. Help you music at the Mansion
- 24:41thing happens again that was a lot of fun.
- 24:43Yeah. I don't know what happened and
- 24:45you know, it's really funny and wasn't able to run any more in
- 24:47the car and then they just stopped.
- 24:49What was really funny? Was, that's another like cool
- 24:54moment for you. Yeah, it's just random moment.
- 25:00So that happens. You know, I after I come back
- 25:03from tour as well because it's literally, Within that timeframe
- 25:06right 2020 2021, something like that.
- 25:10Yeah, because covid happened after that I think are no covid
- 25:13happened during that it was yeah, that was like covid error
- 25:17with her like if we'd play outside and everyone stays away
- 25:19from each other which for you, dude.
- 25:20And then yeah, it's a royal School County, man.
- 25:26We just accepted that we're just like, basically, yeah.
- 25:29Like what lures? Can I we're all poor know.
- 25:32It's coming music and beer, it was crazy.
- 25:35So forgot the whole mask thing. And and this tour we went to
- 25:41Lake places like DC New York where it's still very much a
- 25:46thing. Like, there's still a lot of
- 25:48people wear masks and doing this stuff and do do you all for as
- 25:54terrified? I was like, I was like wait
- 25:57shit. Like I just forgot this existed
- 25:59because like no, no one here. Does that?
- 26:01No one here? I always have a mask in my bag
- 26:04if I eat it. Like, yeah, I don't know if
- 26:08that's if like I said. I don't care about myself.
- 26:12I chose things to a lot of the stuff nowadays.
- 26:15I just, I just stay, you know, I've always give all your soul,
- 26:20their personal. Yeah, I've always given people
- 26:23that personal space but like, I'm a plus plus, you know,
- 26:28distance if I know you obviously, but I'm not anybody
- 26:32in a bar and you're like, hey, we make eye contact.
- 26:35Hugging you. Oh my gosh.
- 26:37But uh, yeah, probably think I'm weird when I do that.
- 26:41Well, I mean that and, you know, audible diseases or something
- 26:45like that, inaudible diseases. Like you get into C's from
- 26:48talking to someone. I mean, he probably could at
- 26:51these because I always say that if I died, I'd be, I'd be the
- 26:54greatest podcast that never existed.
- 26:55I guess everybody would jump on my bandwagon and be like, memory
- 26:58block. Well, he was so good.
- 26:59I didn't follow him when he was doing it, but I don't want to
- 27:02make like, you know any statements but there Ivana,
- 27:06yeah, yeah, Blind Melon. I love Blind Melon.
- 27:09But Blind Melon, I'm pretty sure right that lead singer died and
- 27:13I probably messed with helps out.
- 27:14Yeah, it's crazy. It's even crazier.
- 27:17If like yo weren't good and you pass away and people love you,
- 27:22but I'm not gonna let you say. Are you still find hervana that
- 27:25I really like Nirvana? No, I love under the bridge by
- 27:31Nirvana. Wow, that's disrespectful.
- 27:37I love snow. Hey, you know what now, just
- 27:40because it said that so we're starting real quick.
- 27:42We're going to be starting a not only music movies but me and
- 27:47Billy are going to be kind of teaming up and we do, right?
- 27:50Pop culture reviews. So we're going to talk movies.
- 27:53We're going to talk comic book, stand up like it's going to be a
- 27:56little bit of mixing everything. But one thing that we're going
- 27:58to add to it that I didn't do before even in the past when I
- 28:01was doing pop culture stuff is we're going to add music to it.
- 28:04So we are going to add like music albums and Nirvana will be
- 28:09an album that you're going to have to listen to him.
- 28:11No. You have to listen to me now,
- 28:16listen to Nirvana. Maybe I'll just listen to
- 28:19covers. That was do that, that don't
- 28:25even tell anyone, you didn't. Yeah, they did.
- 28:30Huh. Like you would only hear it
- 28:37connected to something, so the fact that I like grabbed it and
- 28:40said that either. Yeah.
- 28:42So I got loose with the pop culture.
- 28:44Music should be like Nirvana based themed intro music Punk.
- 29:03As someone who can't sing good. But I I like to have fun while
- 29:07I'm up there. Oh my God.
- 29:09That's me, that'll be good. Just gotta have confidence.
- 29:13All right, Donnie said I'm back. Did I miss the New Year story?
- 29:15Let's just talk about it. So New Year's myself, my wife
- 29:19who never leaves the house our buddy, Tyler his girl Angelica
- 29:26all were like, we're going out and Billy's like hey, what are
- 29:28you doing tonight? We're like, we're uphill Guru.
- 29:29He's like, I'll be right down. Do not waste.
- 29:31He goes, come pick me up. And we're like every bar was
- 29:34closing at, like 9:00 every bar. No idea why it was New Year's
- 29:39night. And we were like, well, there's
- 29:41a bar in Middle Port Middletown, Middle something.
- 29:47Yeah, Middle Point, no idea. Yeah.
- 29:48A little something and they're doing karaoke, and a DJ.
- 29:56And what was? I just a preference.
- 29:58Just a preference. Nobody was playing.
- 30:00Like there was no band, no live music, no music.
- 30:03Anywhere was nothing happens. Ridiculous.
- 30:06It was crazy. Which doesn't happen our area
- 30:08very often but the DJ had a special name.
- 30:11A were like we're going to this because his name know someone
- 30:15called them DJ a cedar. But that wasn't his.
- 30:17Oh that was his legit DJ now. We've had many drinks.
- 31:04She was yeah, yeah. So is like, she's like I think
- 31:09I'm going to try and I'm like, I'm hungry.
- 31:12I'm not thinking we saw this bar just like had a smug normal
- 31:16house crock pot. Full.
- 31:18It was like we went to like a family reunions but like no one
- 31:21remembered it was literally just like a family reunions like a
- 31:24smell that guy and like just it's good.
- 31:27Yeah and then we can go in and there's really nobody there and
- 31:31nobody's like participating with the DJ karaoke guy.
- 31:34And I remember, I just got a microphone.
- 31:35I was like, yo, man sign me up and I'm not even drunk yet, and
- 31:39I was just like, Jack, what are you doing?
- 31:40I was like, give me Colt 45 by Afroman.
- 31:43And that's how we set the night off.
- 31:44And then, like, once one person is karaoke, everybody wants to
- 31:47carry. Okay, so we started getting a
- 31:48crowd and the people were coming to sing and then because like, I
- 31:52just know the words to songs, I'm not very good at singing.
- 31:54Them people just like a good a microphone and sing this with me
- 31:57as like I don't know what it is and they had played on like I
- 31:59can I can, I can wing it. So I was just beautiful.
- 32:03Our table has essentially saying every single silent and then I
- 32:06think we were doing this whole bit where we sing every song.
- 32:09Like Tom DeLonge. If Tom DeLonge saying it it was
- 32:13just nah. Nah.
- 32:14Nah yeah. So it was like when I was a
- 32:17young boy. My father liked we the na na
- 32:21nananana. Oh my God.
- 32:27I still do that. Like, whenever I see Tyler out
- 32:30and like we're just chilling or like a song?
- 32:33Comes on. I'm just I'll just send him
- 32:35like, fucking something and be like, not.
- 32:39Yeah, it happens when you just get drunk and someone gives you
- 32:42a live mic and they just do stupid shit.
- 32:44But yeah. So we just parted at this bar
- 32:45all night and I guess I would know.
- 32:49We didn't know anybody there. The bar didn't know as we left
- 32:51it and it was really fun like I like I don't know, just walking
- 32:55into someplace where nobody knows you and you don't know
- 32:57them and just go in there and ball out and what, how did we
- 33:01even get onto the Bloodhound Gang thing like who requested
- 33:05it? Oh, the guy I was running a
- 33:07jackass shirt and the guy came up to me goes, you a fan of
- 33:12Jackass. I go, of course, I'm aware of
- 33:14the t-shirt and look at me and he's like, I think he said, I
- 33:17like Chris Pontius. I think that's what he told me.
- 33:20And then he was like, well, look at my tattoo, bro.
- 33:22And I looked and have a hit, a him tattoo.
- 33:24He had the him heart. I also dope.
- 33:27That's that's him. Tattoo was, you know where I got
- 33:29that? I go where he was from Bam's
- 33:30brother at his at the castle. And I went, oh, and it was, do
- 33:35you know who I am? And I go no idea.
- 33:37And he's like, I used to play drums for the Bloodhound Gang.
- 33:39I was a dazzling. Drama mild as like really goes.
- 33:42Yeah. And I like, that's pretty dope.
- 33:44I'm like, yeah, I'm a huge jackass fan.
- 33:46I've loved like, I like CKY tapes and stuff and, and then he
- 33:50was like, you know, you're really entertaining tonight.
- 33:52Like, you were the one who really got everybody going and
- 33:54getting things going. And I was like, that's awesome.
- 33:56And I'm at this point, I am drunk was I smoked.
- 34:01And as I can you, Play Bad Touch and he's like really mad and I
- 34:06went if you don't you don't have to if you don't want to go.
- 34:08So you know what for you? I'll play it.
- 34:11And I and then we all sang. It was thinking, we were
- 34:15dancing. It was the Guns and Roses song
- 34:18that came on where, like I was pretending.
- 34:20I remember it glimpses of me pretending to play guitar solo,
- 34:25and you and Tyler were like standing at the microphone like
- 34:29doing this. I don't know, man, I got out of
- 34:32control. No, dude.
- 34:33But yeah. It was just it was we probably
- 34:37but we had a blast. Yes, it was amazing because we
- 34:41go there and we were hacking them all night.
- 34:43We're like, he's like I'm gonna play this song by this band is
- 34:45amazing and he played him. Like, that's the song you picked
- 34:48by this band. Which one terrible song pick?
- 34:51He's like, yo, what the hell skip the only reason it was
- 34:57funny. It's because like, we went there
- 35:01under the in, this is like the second Time that this has
- 35:03happened to me. I was having a panic attack on
- 35:06the first tour, and I just was like, hey man, I like just want
- 35:10to go lay and I like a bed or something and cheese foots, like
- 35:15oh well Nate has a bed. We can go his house and like,
- 35:17lay that you can lay down in this bed and I get there and
- 35:20it's literally unfinished. Like the house is unfinished.
- 35:23There's tools everywhere. And I'm like, having this like
- 35:25anxious like moment. Like, I don't know what's going
- 35:28through my head. I was just like Zone and out.
- 35:30I was just like, I need to, like, lay down his sleeve.
- 35:33Like you know I was on tour for like that first tour was
- 35:37literally a whole month. I think like almost a whole
- 35:41month of shows in a row, you know, and we had like one or two
- 35:46off days and maybe a few off days in between shows, but like
- 35:51we get there and it's literally just like we walk in and there's
- 35:54like saw on the ground 3 metal chairs like the most ridiculous.
- 36:03Strong walls. There's no insulation.
- 36:05Yeah, the most ridiculous atmosphere, and I'm just like
- 36:09looking at cheese foot and he's just like, I'm sorry.
- 36:12Like, you know, like that cheese slit like, fucking like phase.
- 36:15He's like, he's like, like just starts breaking out laughing.
- 36:20He's like, I love this would be better, but, like this is the
- 36:29second time where someone's, like, oh, we're gonna go to this
- 36:31place and it's gonna be Rate and it's going to be a fun time and
- 36:35we get there and there's like for older people at the bar and
- 36:41two other people and it's just dead.
- 36:44And we go into the enemy, then we're like, oh, there's another
- 36:47room. Maybe everybody's, maybe
- 36:48everyone's in the other room. So we go and walk into the other
- 36:51room and there's no one and then like a pole in the other side of
- 36:58the room, there's a strong other side of the room, and And we
- 37:03were just it was just the weirdest but the energy we
- 37:06brought made everybody else started having.
- 37:08Yeah. It made it better.
- 37:10Yeah. Everybody else came in at all
- 37:11like oh these people are just having a blast and they just
- 37:14started having a blast to like they're my favorite one was when
- 37:18you walk into a place and everyone just kind of like we
- 37:20wanted him food but we don't want to make you idiots out of
- 37:22ourselves and then usually that's where insert us are our
- 37:26friend. We have no problem, making
- 37:28idiots, out of our self and we'll just go do crazy shit.
- 37:31And again Yes, it was a wild time.
- 37:35Like so the only reason I believe that he is like a part
- 37:38of the Bloodhound Gang was like I was like really obviously I
- 37:42was really drunk because I was drinking since we got there and
- 37:45I don't even drink like that rely on me and I was just very
- 37:48like one mixed drink with a double you're good to go for
- 37:50like hours it was mainly because like Tyler's like you don't even
- 37:54drink and then we drive and we drank like three buckets of
- 37:57beers where they just put like to definitely to.
- 38:00It was not three because I wasn't There's no way, there's
- 38:04no way any of us would have made it.
- 38:06No, me. And Tyler could definitely
- 38:07drink. Two buckets, three buckets of
- 38:09beer. No, man.
- 38:11I don't know. We can get it done, but I had to
- 38:13piss. So I went to the bathroom, like,
- 38:17I knocked on the door and I didn't hear a response.
- 38:20And I just stood there for like five minutes in the DJ like dude
- 38:24walks up. And he's like, you go man.
- 38:26I'm like, yeah, I think there's someone in there and he knocks
- 38:29and then he opens the door. He's like there's no one in
- 38:31there. Go, please like It's almost as
- 38:34you want and there's like a there's like two urinals that
- 38:36there's no divider. You just hold hands.
- 38:38And then there's like a broom closet toilet where II and he
- 38:41ended up in a human being in there.
- 38:42He's like, bro, there's no one in here.
- 38:44I'm going in, he's like, come on, you gotta go, let's go.
- 38:46What I'm like, well, I go with you, it makes this weird and
- 38:49he's like, let's go, you're being weird about it.
- 38:50I'm like, no, you're being weird about it looks like a whole
- 38:53thing. I was like, I bet he live on.
- 38:56He's the funniest thing is Tyler comes up next to me and we hold
- 39:05hands and walk in singing the song that's playing.
- 39:52This podcast and I heard middle ports, the place to be on New
- 39:54Year's, dude. So real quick middle Port is
- 39:57three streets. It's a road that goes to the
- 40:00last it and then you drive into it.
- 40:03And there's three streets maybe. It's basically again, already
- 40:06five houses and a bar and that's where we were.
- 40:11On his hands, Donnie New, Year's next, two years for all, we're
- 40:14going to Middle Fork. That's amazing.
- 40:16It's actually really fun him and his girl are good time.
- 40:19They should definitely, if we ever have a bad night again, are
- 40:21so we all go out that somebody we have to hit up Donnie's a
- 40:24good time. Hell yeah.
- 40:26I know, I was watching the interview yesterday from it was
- 40:29from yesterday, right? I'm not.
- 40:30Yeah, bad at math. Yeah, that a man who's listening
- 40:35that about a calendar. So yeah, To that.
- 40:41And then you being like your if your grandfather's name was Jeff
- 40:45or John or something like that, he's like great.
- 40:48Now. I look like an idiot for.
- 40:52Actually the audio of the podcast like the audio side of
- 40:56things. Adina.
- 41:00Just message me. She has the worst.
- 41:01Like she is crazy timing. If you send her a message and
- 41:04she doesn't respond to like eight weeks later I think I'm
- 41:08one play away from 300 plays. Yeah. 299, plays audio dude 299.
- 41:14It's only been up since October like yeah.
- 41:15We are only doing since October so well that's crazy in the your
- 41:20YouTube shit is amazing. Trying, man, I'm trying II love
- 41:28The fact that literally every month, it's just been a hundred.
- 41:31So as like good that doesn't happen in this.
- 41:34Why do you say that? It's literally the second.
- 41:37Yeah, but I think it's pitting out.
- 41:40I don't think so. I feel like it stalls and then
- 41:43it just like blows up like as how it is.
- 41:47Like I think you got it. I think you just I feel like
- 41:50that's a part of your process though.
- 41:51Being like nah, they ain't gonna have.
- 41:53It's like your reverse to reverse psychology because
- 41:56literally every month you have mess.
- 41:57Another 1/2 of you're like, yeah, every month you've message

- 46:35inside a cell that I feel it. I didn't hear what you said
- 46:39because you throw coat. Oh my God.
- 46:42Yeah you know music doesn't always work out but but yeah I
- 46:54got I got to stay on like the floor.
- 46:59There's this dude. A random guy that like came to
- 47:03one of the shows and he didn't even know our band, never listen
- 47:06to our band. He like love death metal,
- 47:08Basically, so, like all the shit that he listens to is like
- 47:11people screaming about like murder and stuff like that.
- 47:15And we were looking for a place to stay in DC and he was like,
- 47:21I'll house you guys but like it like came off weird because I
- 47:25think he was just like, anti-social, you know what I
- 47:27mean? Like, you just like, not a very
- 47:28social person. So, he's like, to us, we're like
- 47:32exhausted. And he's like, being very, like,
- 47:34are you sure you need like, a place to stay like questioning,
- 47:37like, and like, His whole thing was like you know, don't make
- 47:42fun of me, you know, my Apartments kind of a mess like
- 47:45I'm moving right now time for shit like just like very
- 47:49insecure about it and he just kept saying that he's like you
- 47:52know like we were asking him questions to get to know him.
- 47:54He's like you're not going to make fun of me.
- 47:55Are you like he just kept saying that and we're like no.
- 47:59Y'all like really no bro? What like what what are you you
- 48:04go? Like are you okay like who hurt
- 48:06you? And like it was this whole thing
- 48:07of like Who broke down? We broke down the scenario and
- 48:13like once we got to his place or like said that he was saying
- 48:17something about like working like for bank or something like
- 48:20that, we go into this building and it's like he had to have a
- 48:23key fob to get in and like the front of the building looks like
- 48:27this. Like Mansion ask like he's
- 48:30bringing 6. Smelly dirty, Punk kids.
- 48:33Mm. Yeah for real.
- 48:35You had to have a key fob to enter a separate key.
- 48:38Up to enter the lobby in another key fob to get into the
- 48:41elevator, and then your room key and this is dudes living in like
- 48:48a high life. Apartment complex like
- 48:53something. She takes as yeah like six
- 48:55thousand dollars a month like crazy rent and you know we're
- 49:02all like what is why was he so embarrassed about this play?
- 49:07Like this place is like last or I slept on the floor with
- 49:10sawdust and and Allen wrench is all literally thought we were
- 49:14gonna die at one point because this random dude showed up to a
- 49:17house show and he was belligerent and Drunk and just
- 49:21creepy. And he like was playing with
- 49:23like a butterfly knife like just in the corner and I was like,
- 49:26I'm not sleeping here like I'm not exactly.
- 49:30Yeah. There's a lot of bends but
- 49:44that's a been this weird because like moments like that are super
- 49:48memorable that you can remember every detail.
- 49:50Like so I remember he had blue hair.
- 49:52He had a hat, like a dad hat, like this.
- 49:54He had like a jacket on and like black jeans and black Converse
- 49:59that were like had holes on the bottom.
- 50:01So it's like memorable moments. Yeah, he's dead people.
- 50:05Nice and and like so it's like it's crazy that there's moments
- 50:09like that that you can remember like the this like really
- 50:13sketchy shit, right? And then when you have like
- 50:17Great Moments you can remember them, but not clearly like I
- 50:21remember us going to Niagara Falls in that being a great time
- 50:25on like the first tour and I remember us like going to the
- 50:30Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. And but like the only reason I
- 50:33remember like those moments is because it was like recorded
- 50:35Added. So it's like, this is so off
- 50:37topic, but it's like, why is your brain able to like grab
- 50:41onto like this evil shit, right? And hold it and be like, you
- 50:44remember everything and then of the good chance.
- 50:46Like, oh yeah. Like that was cool like drama
- 50:50and Cool.
- 51:10You had trauma, awesome. So everyone else had drama.
- 51:12I'm just going to get over it because nobody else cares about
- 51:14it. Anyway, so why should I hold on
- 51:15to it? So I aiso like, it's probably
- 51:18not healthy. Don't do that.
- 51:19I, so like a green I'm doing. I'm not saying very long time.
- 51:22I really like That was like a big that's like a big thing like
- 51:27especially with like any type of platform that you're building
- 51:30lines that you're building you. Like you want people to like you
- 51:35so much. I can tell us anymore if they
- 51:37like me, they don't they don't but like that's the goal right
- 51:40as you want, sure? Yeah, those are, you know what I
- 51:43mean? That I just try to be authentic
- 51:47as I possibly can like, you know, me outside of this
- 51:50recording and I do I come off differently between my recording
- 51:54in the What I'm in person. No, there's a, there's not a
- 51:57difference. There's definitely like a
- 51:59character aspect obviously. You have to like, you know what
- 52:02I mean, they have to be more enthusiastic.
- 52:04I feel absolutely? No, I mean, hey, everybody or
- 52:08else? It's like, what when are you
- 52:11bringing? So this like podcast, like what
- 52:13is this? What is your podcast?

- 52:31you I figured you were going to ask me questions.
- 52:34Yeah, I'm not dying today. You're good man.
- 52:38Um, but I figured like we're gonna make content in the next
- 52:41like a lot more and I feel like a lot of that stuff in the come
- 52:45out. So like stay tuned, if you want
- 52:47to know more about our friendship because we're going

- 53:08how you said you were going to like help me Vlog.
- 53:10Yeah you should do that. Why is it have to be on a
- 53:13Saturday? Because I'm spoke to every
- 53:14Saturday the rest of this month. Right.
- 53:19But why not Friday? Because I'm not I'm not going
- 53:22anywhere to Vlog on Friday. Oh, I know what you're saying.
- 53:25Yeah. Like one of my favorite moments
- 53:33is like probably thought I was talking shit with this whole
- 53:35wrestling thing. I heal people are catching on
- 53:37like the tornado fact. Podcast is catching on and it
- 53:39was like yeah, whatever. And then me you and she's foot
- 53:42went to a punk rock show at a wrestling venue and like
- 53:45Binghamton New York and we walked in and like, It's people
- 53:48like Anthony black will produce and you're like, people know.
- 53:52You was like, I don't know how I've never ever been to New
- 53:56York. It literally crazy.
- 53:59Yeah. But I know a lot of really I
- 54:02love that, though. Like, I think that's why it's so
- 54:04cool. It's so.
- 54:04Like, like you were saying, like not caring about what people
- 54:07think is like, that was my mentality for, like, I don't
- 54:10know. I'm just trying not to as much.
- 54:11Yeah. Well, that's why I'm like, I for
- 54:14so long and I try to be the tough guy like, right?
- 54:17To like portray that character. This like not portray a
- 54:21character like that's generally how I felt.
- 54:22I was very apathetic towards like a lot of things for a while
- 54:26and then like I did that tour but then when I came home from
- 54:29the first floor I was like just in it again because you know
- 54:32everything stopped and like there's nothing to do and like
- 54:36that kind of happened for like a day when I came home from this
- 54:41most recent like last four-day run or whatever because like I
- 54:47don't know. no, there's something very cathartic about
- 54:51So like I knew Jake and I knew Nate and Mike Taylor I've played
- 54:56with them before, but like I never played with Anthony.
- 54:58Who was the fill-in drummer for this tour and me and Zack have
- 55:02only played like a show together.
- 55:04So there's something really cathartic about meeting people
- 55:06and Marshall. There was a photographer named
- 55:08Marshall. Super cool.
- 55:09Dude, we literally hung out most of the time when we were in New
- 55:13York we just walked around literally.
- 55:17The coolest story is when we were in New York, everyone else.
- 55:20I was like, very tired, like they just wanted to sleep in the
- 55:23van, they went to sleep, and they didn't want to do anything
- 55:26and like no shade or anything. They were just exhausted.
- 55:28They've been here before. Like, this is nothing new to
- 55:31them in that sense of the way, but like me and Marshall, don't
- 55:35go anywhere, you know? We live in our respective States
- 55:38and that's it. So, we're in New York or in
- 55:40Brooklyn, and you, so used to people being like, Oh, New
- 55:43York's like garbage. Like people are shitty, like,
- 55:46blah, blah, blah. Everywhere you go, bro.
- 55:48We walked from the An we get out and we go to like the bathroom,
- 55:54we get a drink whatever and he's like where you want to go, man?
- 55:58Like I don't know, my girlfriend Rachel.
- 56:01She's always like telling me about like Tick-Tock things and
- 56:03like there's like a tick tock Trend back in the day where they
- 56:07would like follow a specific color.
- 56:10So I was like, all right, I see purple graffiti.
- 56:13I'm following purple graffiti. We went.
- 56:16So we found a rage room. We found like a Mystery House
- 56:21thing. Meanwhile, looking for this
- 56:25bathroom I'm like I really gotta go man, like I'm getting
- 56:28desperate. We see this guy walking into his
- 56:31house and I'm like, yo, I do you know of like a public bathroom,
- 56:36I can use because this is New York and you can't go anywhere
- 56:39and find a bathroom. Like it's not a thing, you know,
- 56:41unless you're paying for something like unless you're
- 56:44eating at a restaurant and he's like there's a is an Art Exhibit
- 56:49over there, they have a calf. Fa you might have to pay to get
- 56:52in but you can like ask them and we go in, go to the counter and
- 56:58this dudes like hey what brings you guys like in today?
- 57:00And I'm like, be real with you. I'm about to piss my pants.
- 57:03Like where's your bathroom? And he's like, oh, I got you, I
- 57:06got you. It's right down there.
- 57:08You know, turn right? Your might have to ask for the
- 57:10code or something. He's like before you go like
- 57:13take these and he gave a stickers in the stickers allow
- 57:17you to go into the Art Exhibit. And I don't think it was free
- 57:21because there's like, prices down.
- 57:23Yeah, prices on the think. So he just use just like that's
- 57:28our baby, it looking like, put the sticker like just like walk
- 57:33through. Like we don't even know if we're
- 57:34supposed to be here. At one point, we saw like an
- 57:38artist's room and I looked at Marshall and he looks at me.
- 57:41He's like, you're in a band, you're an artist and we just
- 57:44walk in and, like, just act like the key to everything.
- 57:48Is, if you just act. Act like you're supposed to be
- 57:51there. No one asks any questions?
- 57:53No one says anything. Not only that.
- 57:55If you act like you're supposed to be there, thanks to you.
- 57:57Make it and you're on my entire wrestling career.
- 58:01You're on the phone, right? If you go, if you go somewhere,
- 58:04act like you're supposed to be there, be on the phone and be
- 58:06super pissed off, just screaming, like random facts
- 58:10about like where you're at. Just be like, oh, this is, this
- 58:13is supposed to be over here and it's not there.
- 58:16It won't come from the never be Pulp Fiction in 93 for best.
- 58:19Yeah, it like people are just gonna be like well I'm not
- 58:22messing with him clearly, he's a higher up.
- 58:24I don't know what's going on here but something's wrong.
- 58:27I cut like Weezer's pissed. That's a mess.
- 58:34I still think it's weird. I get that comparison because
- 58:37like, I don't like see it as much anymore as I, you know, I
- 58:40do. But why every time you have a
- 58:44guitar in your home, like plouffe Hook is waiting.
- 58:46So that's your fucking free bird, everybody.
- 58:49Who everybody's like Place eighties.
- 58:53So you start playing it, I get drunk and still a microphone.
- 59:09I want to end this story but I want to touch on that really
- 59:11quick. Okay, so we go to this Art
- 59:14Exhibit and then we follow purple again and there's a
- 59:19endorse Eight boarding area that we didn't know about.
- 59:24It's just like this is just like a black wall and then like a
- 59:27door with a lock pad on it. So like you need to know the
- 59:30code to get in and this guy is like leaving and he just holds
- 59:34the door and looks at us. He's like you you going in?
- 59:37And we're like oh yeah yeah and we walk in and we're just like,
- 59:42what is this? And it's like the coolest like
- 59:47you know, they're like and be like watching.
- 59:49I understand your original teenager.
- 1:00:09That's what it felt like, it felt like this whole thing and
- 1:00:15they all these kids. And like we know like nobody
- 1:00:23else kind of fun kids. Oh my God, I loves.
- 1:00:28I love this shirt. These dude, these dudes are like
- 1:00:32leaving, right? These two dudes are leaving and
- 1:00:34they like giving everybody like high fives like seeing like see
- 1:00:37you like next week or whatever blah blah blah and they like
- 1:00:40come up to us and they do the same thing to us and he's like
- 1:00:42you know have a good tread on like always that we're supposed
- 1:00:44to skate. Like I don't even think I'm
- 1:00:46supposed to be here and he's like, oh really?
- 1:00:49Like we got you and they took their wristbands off, put them
- 1:00:53on our arms and he's like just keep that and show it to them.
- 1:00:57So we got into two places for fracking free.
- 1:01:02Not only that all the while Marshall is like oh can I like I
- 1:01:07take a picture of you like to remember this and shit like so
- 1:01:10we got like he has like so many pictures of just like strangers
- 1:01:14that we just met and like photogenic people and like that
- 1:01:17was like the coolest Experience of my life is just, like,
- 1:01:21walking around, Brooklyn remembering.
- 1:01:23Everyone telling me how shitty New York is and all these nice
- 1:01:27people being like, oh, you can go in this place, you're not of
- 1:01:30able to afford for free. It's just it's what it's the
- 1:01:33energy you put out the energy going to get back.
- 1:01:35If you walk into a neighborhood that like after I've been in
- 1:01:37neighborhoods, like told you can't go to the neighborhood,
- 1:01:39you're going to get killed and like you don't go looking for
- 1:01:41trouble. When you go look at how it for a
- 1:01:42good time, you're going to have a good time at just.
- 1:01:44That's what it comes down to does who I am.
- 1:01:47And now with people to like if people we'll build you, your
- 1:01:52Your personal view on someone versus someone else's personal
- 1:01:56view is never gonna be the same. Oh, yeah.
- 1:01:59You may think someone's a piece of shit scumbag and another was
- 1:02:02like, that's the nice guy that ever lived and he was like
- 1:02:05that's just a it's a really hard thing to like that's the
- 1:02:08wrestling business like going all any business because
- 1:02:13everyone everyone has a different.
- 1:02:16I think it's just like your character, you know what I mean?
- 1:02:18Like everyone has like a different.
- 1:02:20View of who they want to be in their winning circle and who
- 1:02:25they don't want to associate with.
- 1:02:27And so they just assumed that like, the people, they don't
- 1:02:30want to associate with, can't be up here with them.
- 1:02:32But it's like, do you realize like your talent doesn't matter
- 1:02:36if someone else is Talent, isn't better than yours?
- 1:02:40But is the talent that people want, absolutely?
- 1:02:44You know, I mean, like, and that's why I don't like, say
- 1:02:46like, oh, I hate this music or that means like I used to, I
- 1:02:50used to To be like, oh, I can't stand this band, like Nirvana.
- 1:02:52Like, I don't care. Like I like, it's, it's fine.
- 1:02:57That's an I need an easy friend. I'm always here.
- 1:03:00What the near total? I'm all right.
- 1:03:03We'll listen. And now we're what was it?
- 1:03:05What we were going to go back to we you want to finish your
- 1:03:07story. Oh, open mic.
- 1:03:09Oh yeah. One of the things I want to do,
- 1:03:12that's on my list of equipment to buy is I want to buy but the
- 1:03:15only problem is is I have to spend more money to do it.
- 1:03:19But you know, those speakers your Has their Bose speakers but
- 1:03:21they're like really thin and long, you just throw them on a
- 1:03:25thing and they're insanely good quality and they're just like
- 1:03:28two of them but they're probably like a thousand dollars a piece.
- 1:03:31I need to buy something like that.
- 1:03:33They there PA they're just PA speakers anyway, I have to buy
- 1:03:40something like that because I with my disorder I can't lug
- 1:03:44around huge fucking follow things.
- 1:03:50Get At the more they are. But I want to get something like
- 1:03:53that because I was with my butt joint disorder.
- 1:03:55I can't just lug around speakers like that.
- 1:03:57You know what I mean? Like, it'll kill me, and I'll
- 1:03:59fucking hate it after I'm done. But that is all my list of
- 1:04:01equipment. I want to buy because we have a
- 1:04:04lot of bars in there that want to do more open mics and I
- 1:04:07enjoyed hosting them, you know what I mean?
- 1:04:08And I have I have a board that I can use.
- 1:04:10I have everything I can use like I can do PA stuff or like a like
- 1:04:13I just need a PA system but I want to I want to start doing
- 1:04:16open mics again gosh and it would be cool to have a PA to is
- 1:04:20if there Situation, like hey, you want to do a live podcast?
- 1:04:22And they're like, yeah, I can do a live podcast and I have a PA
- 1:04:24system hook it up to that. People can actually hear it.
- 1:04:26You hear the conversation, you know.
- 1:04:28Well they're eating and stuff like that.
- 1:04:29Yeah, that'd be really cool. I hate live podcast when the
- 1:04:34audio is like, not great. There's a, there's like a bad PA
- 1:04:39or it's like, it sounds like a lunchroom speaker and there's a
- 1:04:43fertile firm food. You know, i-i've always about
- 1:04:55the quality, I can't stand like I'll go watch someone's live
- 1:04:59stream and I'll go turn it on in the camera looks like shit.
- 1:05:01Their audio is amazing and they have 16,000 people watching.
- 1:05:04I'm like the fuck am I doing wrong?
- 1:05:05Like why am I invested all my money into all this equipped to
- 1:05:08make it look good? Like, yeah, this sucks.
- 1:05:10It's just it's just people. It's literally just putting your
- 1:05:16shin in front of the right people.
- 1:05:18You know what I mean? Like in The right people are
- 1:05:21never going to be the right people that you think it is if
- 1:05:24that but yeah, I know, I know that what I'm doing here with a
- 1:05:27BJ podcast is not by any stretch of the man means like a popular
- 1:05:32thing. People want to sit in, like I'm
- 1:05:34going to listen to two complete strangers.
- 1:05:36Sit and talk about stuff that I have no idea what they're
- 1:05:38talking about, you know what I mean?
- 1:05:39Like, our I'm going to interview an independent wrestle.
- 1:05:41I'd never heard of before, but to me like this is the content I
- 1:05:43want to make and I know it's not for everybody and I know I'm not
- 1:05:46going to blow up because I'm not interviewing or chasing after
- 1:05:48big popular famous names. I'm not doing clickbait and I'm
- 1:05:51not doing like the trends but like I'm making content that I
- 1:05:55like and I wasn't it. It's like the hardest thing is
- 1:05:58because it's like you want to take advantage of things and I
- 1:06:02feel like take advantage has such like a negative connotation
- 1:06:06to it. Well now they really have to.
- 1:06:08You have to take advantage of everything.
- 1:06:12You have to take advantage of your viewers your listeners.
- 1:06:14You have to take advantage of everything that you can in the
- 1:06:18in. Like that's the shittiest thing
- 1:06:19is like, Like being like it's like magic you know what I mean?
- 1:06:23Like it's just like a trick that you have to pull in front of
- 1:06:26people is like it's like a quantity thing.
- 1:06:31Like I'm doing something right now.
- 1:06:32We're like we're recording a bunch of episodes.
- 1:06:36And then we're going to put them out in in like six sessions.
- 1:06:39So it looks like it's live every week.
- 1:06:41Not looks like it a lot, it's live.
- 1:06:44But you know what I mean? Like it's going to look like
- 1:06:45it's like happening and it's like, oh yeah next week's this
- 1:06:48get but but like That's like a trick, right?
- 1:06:51Because people think oh that's like a conversation that they're
- 1:06:54going to have you know next week or something like that and it's
- 1:06:59all just like for archiving situation.
- 1:07:02I can't get like into it right now because it's not Fully out
- 1:07:06there that it's like happening. But like it's a whole thing.
- 1:07:10And I want to say one more thing just and then you can end it but
- 1:07:17um, everyone loves a BJ wrestling.
- 1:07:20Savage. Hell yeah.
- 1:07:22I don't like six people don't think like six people, but
- 1:07:24that's like everyone every six people.
- 1:07:28So, on this last tour, I the guy had toured with Anthony Barone.
- 1:07:33He's a very Like famous isn't the word he plays in famous
- 1:07:39acts, right? So like I don't want to name
- 1:07:43drop, but like All That Remains bands, like that, you know, Big
- 1:07:48Bang. Very, very good.
- 1:07:49Yeah. Are you, he's an extremely
- 1:07:51talented musician video? You shall be.
- 1:07:52I was like, that's not human. It's a, yeah, he's an extremely
- 1:07:56talented musician. We can't talk about that video
- 1:07:59by the way, because it's an NDA. So we can't comment on what that
- 1:08:02band is. God.
- 1:08:04I don't remember, I just were watching it.
- 1:08:06Yeah, I mean, and we're also not sure if it's him, his name's
- 1:08:09just attached to it. So it may or may not here.
- 1:08:12Over there. Yeah, but he literally was used
- 1:08:19the coolest person that I've ever connected with and my
- 1:08:22friends are like huge fans of him.
- 1:08:24And here I am just like meat in this dude and he's just like a
- 1:08:28normal guy. And like everyone says that like
- 1:08:29you know, like everyone just a normal guy every famous
- 1:08:35musician, just a normal person. But I asked him because like,
- 1:08:39I've never gotten paid for music.
- 1:08:42Stuff I've never made money doing music.
- 1:08:45Just because it's like my passion, that's just like my
- 1:08:48passion project. But like I said, it's getting to
- 1:08:50the point where I'm like, why not like what makes me less
- 1:08:54capable of making money than other people.
- 1:08:57And so like I asked him, you know, hey, like, I don't know my
- 1:09:03situation for this run, like I don't mind like, if I don't get
- 1:09:05paid, but like, if I weren't to get paid, I wanted to blah blah.
- 1:09:09Like how do you go about that? And his best thing is like,
- 1:09:11dude, just be honest. And like your he's like you're
- 1:09:15really young, you know, you're 23, right?
- 1:09:18And I was like yeah he's like I was like 18 into my mid-twenties
- 1:09:24before I realized like shit. I need to make money doing this
- 1:09:28and I'm like yeah bro, you need to make money doing this, you're
- 1:09:30talented as fucking he's like You may not think this these
- 1:09:36aren't quotes by the way, but like, Yeah, from what I can
- 1:09:38remember, he's like, may not think what you're doing is like
- 1:09:42your job. But you took time away from your
- 1:09:44job where you make money to come and do these things.
- 1:09:48So you deserve what you're working towards and you're
- 1:09:54putting on a show and you're setting up and you're breaking
- 1:09:56down equipment and you're not sleeping good because you have
- 1:10:01to get to the next show. The Next day.
- 1:10:03He's like you're putting a lot of yourself into this, and
- 1:10:06people aren't always going to take that into account ability.
- 1:10:09And people don't realize that like non-musician that, with
- 1:10:13commentary this year, I was like, I can't come to your show
- 1:10:16anymore. If you're not, if you're not
- 1:10:17paying me to do it and they're like, well, we don't pay for
- 1:10:20that position. I'm like, well, then I'm not
- 1:10:21going to be part of that position in your company because
- 1:10:23there's a probably another one of the street that will pay me
- 1:10:25for my work. And that's and that's and that's
- 1:10:28a hard feelings love. You want your company to
- 1:10:29amazing, but it just can't be that.
- 1:10:31Mike can be a part of it. Yeah.
- 1:10:33And that's like what he's saying is like even even if your
- 1:10:36friends or whatever like you just need to like know that like
- 1:10:40this is a job man. Like this is a career choice
- 1:10:43even if people don't think it is like this is something you can
- 1:10:46do. This is what I do.
- 1:10:48Like it was so cool coming from someone that I deem you know,
- 1:10:54top-tier appear up here in Just for him to like be like that and
- 1:10:59like chill. And like we had a great time
- 1:11:01like the whole tour, we literally played Tony Hawk
- 1:11:03together, like we just hung out, like we were literally loaded
- 1:11:06the whole me aside and add that as well too.
- 1:11:08There's three people Maria and Mike canal, canal is Bennett
- 1:11:13Maria, Kanellis Bennett and in Mike Bennett pulled me aside and
- 1:11:16are like, so you're doing a lot here, man.
- 1:11:18Like you're doing me and great, you're doing this.
- 1:11:19You're doing that your own commentary later.
- 1:11:21You're getting notes for everybody.
- 1:11:22Like your fucking hustle in the like, yeah.
- 1:11:24And I know you also do a podcast like yeah, Mike how come you're
- 1:11:26not wearing? Like your podcast isn't being
- 1:11:28promoted. I go because I have to pay for
- 1:11:30it to be promoted here and they're like nah man, you got to
- 1:11:32change up your fucking you guys change this up?
- 1:11:34You like your if you keep doing stuff like this, many people can
- 1:11:37take advantage of you and I listen to them but I didn't
- 1:11:39take, I didn't take it into consideration because I was like
- 1:11:42when you get into positions with music, are you getting a
- 1:11:44positions with anything you're doing in your industry?
- 1:11:47You kind of get the wool pulled over your eyes of like well
- 1:11:50they're doing you a favor because anybody will do what
- 1:11:52you're willing to do and that's kind of the trick that it's kind
- 1:11:55of not really a trick but that's kind of Mentality people like
- 1:11:58well I don't do it for free, somebody else will and then I
- 1:12:00won't get my opportunity, you know what I mean?
- 1:12:02Undercut situation, but yeah, more.
- 1:12:04So like, oh you're Brian. What's up one?
- 1:12:07And two the remaster what? But that's the problem is like
- 1:12:12it's kind of like going to your job and walking up to everybody
- 1:12:15and go you know what does everybody make here?
- 1:12:16And then when everyone starts finding out that there's pay
- 1:12:18discrepancies. I was like wait and then jobs
- 1:12:20like you're not allowed to do that.
- 1:12:21Like technically we are no one more people start talking about,
- 1:12:25it people's wages. Change you don't know.
- 1:12:27I mean, yeah, it's, I was like, Hush.
- 1:12:28Hush, don't tell people what you made.
- 1:12:29It's like it's all you should. You should talk about that kind
- 1:12:31of stuff. It's like because what we do
- 1:12:35what me and you do that's like when I was saying before is like
- 1:12:39oh this is like my passion. So why am I getting paid for
- 1:12:42doing the thing? I love to do.
- 1:12:44Let you know what I mean? Like it's like a weird thing to
- 1:12:46finally, develop. When your sense you're not going
- 1:12:48to your best friend's wedding, or you're not going to a family.
- 1:12:50Member's funeral, because you're dedicating the time into your
- 1:12:54craft that you wanted to make something you should be getting
- 1:12:56paid. Yeah, because there's people who
- 1:12:59treat this like a hobby and that's fine too.
- 1:13:01Like, hey, I can't make this show because I want to go out to
- 1:13:03dinner with my wife. Cool, go to dinner your wife,
- 1:13:05but I'm going to be the person here every single month who's
- 1:13:07going to bust my ass for you. And when you do that for so long
- 1:13:10and everybody else kind of half 1/2 foot in half, what out?
- 1:13:14And and you're there every single time you should be
- 1:13:15treated differently. Dude, I was so unsure, if this
- 1:13:19was what I wanted to do, when Jake message me at first, like I
- 1:13:22didn't even reply, like I saw his message, he's like, hey, you
- 1:13:26know, we're doing this. Guns tour.
- 1:13:28These are the dates. Can you do it?
- 1:13:30He's like, Taylor's definitely doing them.
- 1:13:32So you can just play guitar this time and I just looked at it.
- 1:13:38And then, like I think I called Rachel or Rachel was with me at
- 1:13:42the time because this was during Christmas, you know, and I was
- 1:13:46just like, what like, what should I do?
- 1:13:50Because like, if I don't get paid and I'm taking off this
- 1:13:53time, I'm screwed, but I don't want to be like, you never want
- 1:13:55to bring that up because it's people, you No, and I was like,
- 1:13:58why I was like talking to Anthony and stuff like that.
- 1:14:00And like eventually like we, you know, everything was worked out
- 1:14:04as fines, not a problem. But like, that's like where I am
- 1:14:08right now, where I'm like, oh, well, if I play shows around
- 1:14:11here now, but what I want to say is like Rachel really pushed me
- 1:14:15into doing it because she was like, well, you love music,
- 1:14:17right? Will you do all this stuff?
- 1:14:19Like she's like, I've watched you go from not having a show to
- 1:14:25the next day, having a show In building a hour-long set in like
- 1:14:30a day, she's like, you could do it.
- 1:14:33Like you may not believe it, but you can do.
- 1:14:35Should I believe any more solo acoustic stuff like you should
- 1:14:38be going to bars and playing solo?
- 1:14:39Acoustic shows should be. I just know I'm afraid to like
- 1:14:43contact people because like, I want money and for what I'm
- 1:14:47doing and I don't want to, I don't want to go for any less
- 1:14:51than what I want to like, be paid.
- 1:14:53You know what I mean? And a lot of people tell me, oh,
- 1:14:55you can't get that and I just Believe that I don't believe
- 1:14:59that I cannot draw brother. You know what I mean?
- 1:15:01Like yeah. It's like I think I'm going to
- 1:15:04do that. I have a couple of things that I
- 1:15:07need to work through first like I don't want to do it on my own.
- 1:15:12I would rather have like, you know, soundman there or like a
- 1:15:16secondary guitarist because I just don't, I don't like that.
- 1:15:20I don't like playing by myself. It just doesn't feel like good I
- 1:15:24guess until I do it obviously but It's just more comfortable
- 1:15:28to have someone else to like conversate with when there's
- 1:15:31dead air or like tuning stuff like that.
- 1:15:36I was a good singer. I'd sing with you.
- 1:15:37Then we could, we could definitely conversation between
- 1:15:39songs. Would be like Blink-182 show,
- 1:15:41dick jokes all the time. But is there anything else you
- 1:15:45want to get out there? Anything you want to plug
- 1:15:47because we are we just hit the, our 15 and I'm dead.
- 1:15:49If we if I keep this going we'll be here for three and a half
- 1:15:52hours and no. Boom.
- 1:15:55I do have a link Tree in my Instagram and everything that's
- 1:16:00below as well as all in Milan tree.
- 1:16:03Oh, hell, yeah. And, you know, my Instagram
- 1:16:08Converse kid. That's everything's below.
- 1:16:10So I guess I can't plug all that.
- 1:16:11But I do have like a new song coming out soon and I just you
- 1:16:17heard it. I just wrote a new intro for
- 1:16:21something horror movie stuff. Yeah, I didn't know if you were
- 1:16:24going to announce. Yet, but it's really sick.
- 1:16:26It's I love it. Like it's literally played over
- 1:16:28Holly last night. She really likes it, too.
- 1:16:30It's like the simplest thing and I'm like actually from writing
- 1:16:35that road another riff that's like really killer and I'm like
- 1:16:40kind of stuck to do an original basically inspired by that like
- 1:16:44I love it. So it's like it's very, very
- 1:16:47ghosty in my opinion but that's all that was just how I feel.
- 1:16:52But um yeah I mean how do you ready?
- 1:16:55Alyssa horror movies. We want to start doing so soon
- 1:16:57as we get that meat. So we get the music or to start
- 1:16:58recording and then like I said, you're going to be me and you
- 1:17:00are going to team up a lot on the pop culture stuff.
- 1:17:03So whether yeah, you just like, literally, I'm literally at the
- 1:17:07point where like so that's what when I came home, I hit like
- 1:17:10this weird low thing, oset. No way does.

- 1:19:33So if You guys want to support. Links are below.
- 1:19:35There's t-shirts and all that fun stuff, new logo just drop.
- 1:19:39So if you're from Pennsylvania, even if you're not from
- 1:19:40Pennsylvania, please buy this one because I think it'd be cool
- 1:19:43to just have people walking around with a 570 t-shirt on.
- 1:19:47I think that'd be dope razzes. Buying one isn't a walk around
- 1:19:49Australia, wearing that that's amazing.
- 1:19:51I do love it. I think that might be one of my
- 1:19:53favorite. I like the just black and
- 1:19:56yellow. Like it feels like a hockey.
- 1:19:58Puck Jersey. Oh my, I think it looks like the
- 1:20:00Black Panther logo. That's why I'm kind of you just
- 1:20:03watched Movie cried like a bitch dude.
- 1:20:05I'll okay. Can we?
- 1:20:06Please talk about that really get, we'll talk a little bit.
- 1:20:08Yeah. Okay.
- 1:20:09Does it not turn into a horror movie like 20 minutes in where
- 1:20:12you say, they try to the funny thing about that movie is is
- 1:20:17like, it's Disney. So they're trying not to, like,
- 1:20:19tell you what's happening, but they're showing you.
- 1:20:21What's how thousands of people died like, drowned to death
- 1:20:25died? Yeah, like, watch people get
- 1:20:27shot, you the spears you watch the spears go into their neck.
- 1:20:31So like it's not even Disney doesn't care.
- 1:20:33R Disney doesn't look the way they do.
- 1:20:35It is like, it's still like a kid can watch it and it's okay.
- 1:20:38Kind of, if I was a kid watching that movie I would be terrified
- 1:20:42and scarred for the rest of my life.
- 1:20:44The scene where was so fucking good, the scene, where they're
- 1:20:48on the bridge without doing any like spoilers there on a bridge
- 1:20:54because there's like a crash something happens and they like
- 1:20:57get up in all you see, is this dude like fly a blue guy like
- 1:21:01flies up with a spear in his hand?
- 1:21:03Shocks it and you see the spirit go right into the camera and
- 1:21:07then into the person basically, and he's like, pinned to the
- 1:21:10wall. And I'm like, what?
- 1:21:12And me and Rachel are like sitting there.
- 1:21:14Like, this is our date. This is our Christmas Day on
- 1:21:19division. Like I don't want a vision
- 1:21:21Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
- 1:21:23Like that was a horror movie at some points.
- 1:21:26Like once you wouldn't want us chasing him in the doors.
- 1:21:28Keep closing and she's busted through the doors and her eyes
- 1:21:30are red. It was like that was Sam.
- 1:21:32Raimi Evil Dead Meat smart. Evil cinematic.
- 1:21:34Yes, so good. It was so good.
- 1:21:37Dude, I love. Where Marvel's heading and
- 1:21:40people are like afraid because like they're saying this is the
- 1:21:43worst Universe Cinema phase ever.
- 1:21:45I'm like, this is a good phase. I really like it, bro.
- 1:21:47It's just like me. Rachel talked about this to like
- 1:21:50they're always there's all these people saying, like, Guardians
- 1:21:52of the Galaxy was a terrible movie.
- 1:21:55Like I already got a compact person.
- 1:21:57She like Guardians 1 & 2. Yeah.
- 1:21:59And in Thor Ragnarok. Great movie.
- 1:22:04People shit on it. And I'm like that's literally
- 1:22:06one of the best comic book films I've ever seen in my opinion,
- 1:22:10actually. I thought Ragnarok was not as
- 1:22:12good and I like really I like the other Thor better.
- 1:22:15The one that everyone hated. I yeah.
- 1:22:17So I did re-watch. Oh, you like love and thunder?
- 1:22:20Yeah, I like that version. But yeah, it was pretty good.
- 1:22:23That was that was great. I loved how I don't think they
- 1:22:26focus enough on villains and I kind of bothers me.
- 1:22:28I like how they interpret the whole kid thing like where he
- 1:22:31like, yeah, that's What you're saying?
- 1:22:34Like the villain where he like takes the kids because of the
- 1:22:37whole situation. Yeah.
- 1:22:38And like yeah you really feel bad for him or give, you know
- 1:22:42what I mean? He's of our pop culture reviews.
- 1:22:44I like this. You like really feel bad for
- 1:22:47him. I love when movies can do that.
- 1:22:50Do Mom. But it's also a mongrel black
- 1:22:51panther bad too. Because you like, great, like
- 1:22:54grow, obviously, he's not wrong, right?
- 1:22:57Yeah. He's not wrong.
- 1:22:59You kind of wrote for him. Yeah.
- 1:23:01Oh my God. Linda love and thunder more like
- 1:23:03Pinch. The Highlight, the Highlight
- 1:23:06Lovin Thunder. I thought I thought Thor getting
- 1:23:08cocky and then becoming unworthy because he was he was he was
- 1:23:11arrogant and a piece of shit like I do.
- 1:23:13I was into it. Yeah.
- 1:23:14And the whole story line between the girl, I forget her name, but
- 1:23:19like just the, the lady, his God, Jane Foster and Foster.
- 1:23:23Yeah, everything with that was just super exact for real,
- 1:23:29everyone with that was screwing with the darkness crept over the
- 1:23:31land. And I was like the black That's
- 1:23:34terrifying, right? Like that's a nightmare film,
- 1:23:36that's a nightmare film for children.
- 1:23:39Well, there's no way and you see the scenes where the kids are
- 1:23:42like half asleep and like waking up and being like, what is I
- 1:23:45hate? I hate when they try to put too
- 1:23:46much comedy in the movies and that's kind of what that was
- 1:23:48little, I was Ragnarok for me, I guess that makes two ha ha fun
- 1:23:52fun. Ha ha ha, but that's, that's why
- 1:23:54I mean, by, like comic book e is like, almost splayed out like, a
- 1:23:58comic, like it jumps from scene, to scene, to scene to see ya,
- 1:24:02you know? But Was gone.
- 1:24:04Just announced the for TV shows and for movies for the DC
- 1:24:06Universe, that are going to be dropping and that they're making
- 1:24:09a whole universe, they're rebuilding the DC Universe.
- 1:24:12Oh yeah, I did see that. That's gonna be nice, especially
- 1:24:16Brave, and the Bold. I hope that's a live man.
- 1:24:19And Damian Wayne in the same movie father-son movie with
- 1:24:22that, man, and his son. So does this mean, does this
- 1:24:25Wang things coming back? Does this mean that tightens
- 1:24:29like, doesn't matter all that? Everything's like New Canon,
- 1:24:33Nicole. Supposedly the whatever Miller
- 1:24:38is Flash that they're still somehow going to put out is
- 1:24:41going to be like the his Flashpoint is going to reset the
- 1:24:44DC Universe. He's just such a piece of shit.
- 1:24:49It sucks. Because if you don't my only
- 1:24:51problem with the DC Universe and I'll say this, right now, as a
- 1:24:53huge DC guy, if they keep him as flash, I don't think I can
- 1:24:56support it. He's a fucking garbage.
- 1:24:58He's a garbage human being but he's also literally one of the
- 1:25:01best DC characters in my Village.
- 1:25:03He's literally plays the best flash.
- 1:25:06Yeah, I put the flash on TV is good.
- 1:25:08I just he has a big-ass head. He's a weirdo and a helmet.
- 1:25:12Just looks like he looks like a Funko Pop.
- 1:25:14Well, it's like, I don't know. I can't I so I hated the sea for
- 1:25:20so long like film was like I just didn't like Superman
