[00:01:31] the p-tanks yeah well I think we can say this now the legendary p-tanks yes I

[00:01:39] also I also when I first heard of them was like the CD that the one just

[00:01:50] which I think was picnic with your mom was the one with the tank on it yeah

[00:01:54] that's picnic your mom yet yeah and that's that's I didn't see the fucking

[00:01:58] the album cover yeah like I just I just somebody a friend of mine had that CD and

[00:02:03] I was always like what is the fucking CD with the tank on it and the p-tanks I

[00:02:06] was like this is awesome and that's how I you know listened to it for the

[00:02:11] first long as well and I never you know since there's a tank on the CD I

[00:02:15] always thought it was like a reference to something like p-tanks I was like I

[00:02:19] can't just be like a tank of pee no that's what it is p-tanks a tank full

[00:02:27] of piss picture on the CD got me yeah I mean like yeah growing up in this area

[00:02:35] getting hit the punk rock when I did it was like they were the shit I mean yeah

[00:02:41] I say legendary but like a lot of people nowadays unless you were in a band back

[00:02:47] then you probably don't remember the p-tanks right Mike that's why I say

[00:02:52] legendary because they fucking are in this area how's it going good good how

[00:02:59] are you I'm good you do have a killer beard oh thank you thank you I just cut

[00:03:05] a couple inches off because it looked kind of homeless it's luxurious speaking

[00:03:13] hair just before we get started I was looking I was I googled like p-tanks

[00:03:18] pictures and maybe I saw some on your Facebook page too but it was a picture

[00:03:23] of you you were probably in like six or seventh grade maybe and you had like a

[00:03:29] blonde mullet and you were wearing some kind of like a metal sleeveless shirt and

[00:03:34] you're like yelling into a microphone I was probably older than okay if I was

[00:03:40] yelling in a microphone I was probably like 16 or 17 but yeah I had a sweet mullet

[00:03:50] actually I've been growing it out oh shit yeah I could cut it off any day though

[00:03:58] it's uh it's kind of a mess we love it trying to recapture my lost youth

[00:04:03] I love that the punk rock mullet is kind of coming back

[00:04:09] the other guy from the chat has a pretty sweet one and mustaches too

[00:04:15] mustaches that's that's a roll of the dice you know yeah very few people can pull them off yes

[00:04:24] agreed you know it's a very strange thing in society that the weird creepy predator look

[00:04:33] has become kind of popular of most people yeah like what the fuck

[00:04:40] yeah because either you you know some people can look like a cop but some of them just look like

[00:04:47] hey don't get so close to my kids

[00:04:52] you know I can't do it actually at the um when the pandemic started because I've just always had a

[00:04:59] some sort of beard usually you know pretty short but I was like hey I'm home all the time no one sees

[00:05:06] me so I just shaved so I had this big handlebar mustache it was the worst thing ever I do not

[00:05:16] have the face for it but and the kids hated it the things the things you had to do to keep

[00:05:24] yourself busy and interested you know yeah it's like you know if there's ever a time to be such a

[00:05:31] you know obnoxious turd it's when you're home alone

[00:05:38] so the p-tanks have come up on this show like so many times

[00:05:41] so many yeah and you know I've I've told the story on this the story of our scene of kind

[00:05:48] of how music was in the Croft and Bowie area in the mid early 90s and even the late 80s I mean

[00:05:54] I didn't get into it until I was probably sophomore in high school probably maybe 93 90

[00:06:01] 92 93 something like that um you know and I've I've been in the Navy I've gone to college and

[00:06:06] I've talked to so many people that are into punk rock from from all over the country and nobody

[00:06:13] ever has the kind of scene stories that I have with the kind of um with the amount of bands that

[00:06:22] there were with the amount of shows that there were and the p-tanks were a huge part of that

[00:06:27] like why how do you think that was that are do you think it was a spillover from DC in the 80s

[00:06:31] or do you think it was just the right people at the right time I think it was a lot of things

[00:06:38] um I mean we were kind of nestled in between DC Baltimore and Annapolis so it was kind of like

[00:06:48] there was some stuff around us I think because of some of the people that did a lot of organizing

[00:06:57] and you know putting on shows and you know it just inspired people and couldn't have had a luckier

[00:07:05] scene to grow up in I mean there was so much talent so many awesome bands so many awesome shows I mean

[00:07:16] like I don't know what there is nowadays for young people I mean I've heard of some Baltimore kids

[00:07:24] like a year or two ago going to a uh a state park that I won't name just in case they do it in the

[00:07:31] future and just bringing generators and setting up these like little rebel shows for like a hundred people

[00:07:40] and that sounds pretty awesome but I mean all the like the different fire halls and

[00:07:48] even some businesses and like restaurants like Fat Tuesdays and Bowie it's insane that they let us

[00:07:55] have three-dollar punk rock shows there with just since it was in the mall like a hundred couple

[00:08:04] hundred kids would show up like their parents are dropping them off and they're just going crazy for

[00:08:09] a couple hours and then going home with with mom and dad it was it was the best and I

[00:08:18] I feel bad for the kids now they don't have anything like that in most places there's uh

[00:08:25] I live down in Fredericksburg VA and there's a there's a coffee shop here now that last year started

[00:08:32] having all-age shows and they don't they don't sell alcohol there and a friend of mine's band was

[00:08:38] playing a show and I went and the entire place was packed with nothing but teenagers and uh

[00:08:46] in 2023 at the time that I was I was completely blown away it brought back like all these memories

[00:08:53] of the 90s and seeing similar stuff and I was like wow this is this is insane like one thing and

[00:08:59] they all come there really is nothing for kids to do nowadays musically at least

[00:09:05] it was crazy we'd put on a show and it would be like three bucks or five bucks

[00:09:12] and every band we'd always split all the money equally and every band would get you know

[00:09:19] two three hundred bucks for a show and now it's like that's way more than the now yeah now it's

[00:09:25] like I actually just started jamming with some new guys last week and and some of them have

[00:09:31] been playing in cover bands and stuff and I was like you know I hope you guys aren't expecting to get

[00:09:39] paid because it might be like three or four shows at bars where it's like uh the third one the the

[00:09:49] band gets 20 bucks or something yeah you know it's just you get nothing which no one's doing it

[00:09:56] for the money but yeah having the money helps to be able to record and get sure you have to keep doing

[00:10:04] it yeah all that stuff yeah what what the hell is up also with cover bands getting that's where

[00:10:11] there's so much money to play and and like original bands like having to scrown what the hell is that

[00:10:16] I think because you know people in their 40s are like yeah I grew up loving this song I want to

[00:10:23] go see it and I mean there's some very talented cover bands but there is there is like the new

[00:10:31] guys I'm jamming with they're like uh you know I've been doing cover bands and you know it's cool but

[00:10:37] it I need to do something more creative than just yeah play everyone else's songs you know yeah that's

[00:10:47] like all anapolis is now it's like cover bands the Metropolitan had shows and my band would play

[00:10:54] every now and then but I don't think they do shows anymore if they do they only do it a couple

[00:10:58] nights a week I heard they don't I heard the stage is gone okay yeah I heard that we're gonna

[00:11:04] expand the restaurant um because that place was awesome yeah it was uh Silver Goals played with

[00:11:10] you guys there the elements yes that's right and um the New Jersey band oh Cryptkeeper 5 Cryptkeeper

[00:11:20] 5 yeah they were awesome too yeah I know to have the the awesome like rooftop bar for when it's like

[00:11:25] in the fall or spring summer oh that's a great place yeah so when did you get into punk rock and

[00:11:31] how did you get into punk rock and what were kind of the some of the first bands that kind of got

[00:11:34] you into it um well growing up uh first I heard a lot of acdc and rush at my friend Jason's house

[00:11:48] his brother had every acdc album and every rush album and rush was okay I loved acdc

[00:11:56] and then like hanging out with my call like his brother would play stuff like the clash

[00:12:01] in the Ramones so I started getting into that but it wasn't really until um my brother started

[00:12:10] getting into some of the newer hardcore stuff like this just one day I made these two tapes I had

[00:12:21] Metallica ride the lightning and then I had minor threat and Circle Jerks group sex on one cassette

[00:12:29] and then two government issue albums on the other one and what else I forget but it was just like

[00:12:40] it changed everything I mean how old were you at that time

[00:12:47] probably probably when I started getting into that stuff it probably would have been like around 84 or so

[00:12:53] 85 it's it's hard to say I mean I listened to like a lot of the early 80s hair metal you know

[00:13:03] twisted sister rad quiet riot never gotten to the later stuff but uh you know docking

[00:13:14] all the greats and I'm I'm into it I love it I grew up with it too I am going to see

[00:13:20] Maiden in November hell yeah super excited still put on the best show ever oh yeah I was so bummed out

[00:13:28] I missed him last time they came through and neighbor behind me he's from Nepal and he went

[00:13:35] because he's somehow he got into like Pantera and all these metal bands in Nepal I asked him I was

[00:13:42] like how how was Iron Maiden and he was just like it was in the top five days of my entire life

[00:13:52] he's like all right that's pretty awesome I believe it I've seen them they're they're great

[00:14:00] where are they playing when you're gonna see them the whatever the new Baltimore Arena is the

[00:14:07] CFG or something gotcha the name changes like every year so yeah I don't know it's not the

[00:14:15] Royal Farms Arena anymore it's something else some random bank yeah they probably don't even have in

[00:14:24] Maryland and no one's heard of yeah probably is that where the Ravens play is that no this is

[00:14:30] like a this is where the skipjacks played oh yeah yeah I know yeah apparently they redid it and

[00:14:38] it's supposed to be super nice but I haven't been there yet you haven't been in you I haven't been

[00:14:43] since it was maybe even the Baltimore maybe Royal Farms I don't know it's been many years yeah

[00:14:50] I did see Van Halen there sweet but when of course this was like later with Wolfgang

[00:14:57] oh nice okay that's still cool though I mean yeah it was but it was kind of like

[00:15:04] those big concerts you're so far away from the stage yeah it was like this is cool but

[00:15:12] is it that much better than just watching the DVD and yeah it's true I mean you're just that far

[00:15:20] away but at least that's where we were yeah could you imagine seeing like Van Halen in a small club

[00:15:28] now I know it'll never happen obviously because yeah he's not the same one but could you imagine

[00:15:34] something you couldn't do for I mean what was last time Van Halen played in a small club every

[00:15:38] once in a while you'll get some band like doing a couple small places like to prepare for tour or

[00:15:46] something like I got to see some some bands at like the old 930 club that you'd never see

[00:15:55] at a place that holds 200 people like you know they they had amazing bands come through there

[00:16:02] I've never been to the old 930 club oh it was it was smelly but awesome I mean like I saw rage

[00:16:12] against the machine there opening up for Shutter to think and I was literally like 10 feet away from

[00:16:20] Zakti Larocha while they were playing I mean it was like crazy not much bigger than the sidebar

[00:16:27] it was okay it was just amazing yeah wow speaking of the sidebar that place is coming back

[00:16:35] I sure hope so yeah I think it's going to be a slow process they just had a fire do you hear about that

[00:16:43] yeah that under was like underneath the so their their co2 alarms kept going off and they were

[00:16:49] they couldn't figure out why and so finally the fire department showed up and there was a fire

[00:16:54] underground underneath the sidebar and had to like close off like a couple city blocks

[00:17:00] this was this was this while it was still open no this is like a couple weeks ago like a

[00:17:05] couple oh shit yeah yeah yeah it's it's wild I guess an old building like that you're gonna

[00:17:11] have so much yeah to do and I think they've already done so much I've seen some pictures I've a

[00:17:18] friend who's actually one of the dudes who's doing some work in on the inside there so I've

[00:17:24] seen some pictures they're moving along it's slow but they're moving along I mean I'm hoping

[00:17:29] once they get closer to to opening maybe I can help out and volunteer and help do something

[00:17:39] yeah it's a cool venue for sure but I think right now they're at the stages where it's

[00:17:45] you need experts to professional what needs to be done so yeah they better they better keep the

[00:17:53] march no yeah yeah that was a cool spot when and how did the p-tanks form

[00:18:23] yeah

[00:19:23] I'm gonna get you

[00:19:27] Proof one!

[00:19:53] Go, go, go, go

[00:26:01] I'm not here

[00:26:11] I'm not here

[00:26:21] I keep my eyes down, move at a brisk pace Nobody makes a test, nobody sees my face

[00:26:37] The one important in the world around me If I go down to the nose, would I see? Moving right along the ice, you and I decide

[00:26:45] If she goes down, I'll take her to the ice

[00:26:55] If I walk fast

[00:27:07] Gotta get through the day without getting pulled below, trying to do nothing I don't wanna die

[00:27:13] Raise my hand when the road is cold, nobody will notice I'm not kidding you, boy

[00:29:43] I'm not here

[00:30:03] I'm not here

[00:30:23] I'm not here

[00:30:43] I'm not here

[00:30:53] I'm not here

[00:31:13] I'm not here

[00:31:23] I'm not here

[00:31:33] I'm not here

[00:31:43] I'm not here

[00:32:03] I'm not here

[00:32:23] I'm not here

[00:32:39] I'm not here

[00:32:55] I'm not here

[00:33:17] I'm not here

[00:33:25] Do you hear yourself as an influence? Like, well, I shouldn't say yourself, but like the P-Tanks in other bands because I know I certainly do

[00:33:34] I was telling Ron right before you jumped on that like going back and listening to, you know, picnic with your mom, like I hear

[00:33:43] It's like two to immediately come to mind or big wig and strike anywhere

[00:33:48] Like they're early stuff. I hear a lot of you guys in there early stuff

[00:33:53] Well, I know Tom from big wig did like us. I think I think they did a tour with discount and we had played with discount and so they gave him a tape or something

[00:34:05] So a few years after the P-Tanks, I had a band called the Chernobyl kids and Tom hooked us up with a bunch of shows in New Jersey. I mean, they're one of my favorite bands anyway because they're just

[00:34:20] So tight. Every show is perfect

[00:34:24] And I just love bands like that where, you know, you have a poppier song been one that's just super hard

[00:34:32] And then this one's got some metal riffs and then back to something melodic and yeah, I mean they're, oh God, I love that band

[00:34:42] They're great

[00:34:44] Yeah, I hope they start playing more often because they're just amazing. They played I guess a couple years ago up in Pennsylvania I drove up in the song still so good like the chameleon club I think

[00:35:04] Well, I'm hoping we can get them down to the pie shop and throw some of our shows because a buddy of mine talks to Tom pretty regularly. So when and they do and they do play some shows every year

[00:35:15] I don't think it would take all that much to get them to come down from Jersey

[00:35:19] Well, the problem is it's like I think Tom is sometimes in Jersey but a lot of times in Tennessee and then I think the one guitar player lives in Connecticut

[00:35:34] And I think the bass player lives in Pittsburgh

[00:35:38] So many bands are like that now it's crazy

[00:35:40] And I think the drummer was flying in from California for the shows so

[00:35:46] Yeah, it's not

[00:35:48] It's not as easy as you think

[00:35:50] Yeah

[00:35:52] But I mean for a band that's not practicing all the time they're still so tight

[00:35:59] Yeah

[00:36:00] If you get a chance definitely get them and if you can't get them go see them

[00:36:05] Yeah

[00:36:07] I think

[00:36:10] I think my buddy had told me that he said like he would love to do

[00:36:15] But you know again like you said there's people coming in from all over the place

[00:36:18] Yeah, it's just I think it makes it harder and

[00:36:24] Costs a little more financially when people are flying in from all over the country

[00:36:28] Yeah, it affects the guarantees a lot

[00:36:31] Yeah, exactly

[00:36:34] Yeah

[00:36:36] There's a lot of bands who have said they would love to come play our show

[00:36:40] Right

[00:36:41] For the certain price

[00:36:42] Yeah

[00:36:44] Yeah, it's just that high shop is 100 cap so it's like

[00:36:48] Unless you're gonna charge a thousand bucks a ticket

[00:36:50] Yeah

[00:36:51] You know

[00:36:52] Right

[00:36:53] Merch sales can only go so far

[00:36:55] Yeah

[00:36:58] Do you funny do you have like your if I was to ask you about a certain p-tank show

[00:37:02] Do you have like a most memorable p-tank show that kind of comes to the top of your head?

[00:37:07] Um

[00:37:08] I mean there there are a few that would stand out for different reasons. I mean

[00:37:17] I mean there were

[00:37:19] I was lucky to be in a band with such talented people and people seem to like us

[00:37:28] I could name like

[00:37:30] 20 shows that were so amazing for just so many reasons. I mean

[00:37:35] Yeah

[00:37:36] Like

[00:37:38] We got to play the old 930 club we first went and played at the gong show you get to play like

[00:37:46] two or three songs

[00:37:49] And all these kids from our high school went and we won

[00:37:53] Well, you played the gong show?

[00:37:55] Yeah

[00:37:56] So

[00:37:58] Then we got to come back and open for a

[00:38:01] Sam I am and snuff

[00:38:03] And that was pretty amazing

[00:38:06] Not that they were big then but

[00:38:08] I mean

[00:38:10] Yeah

[00:38:11] 30 some years later. I still love both is actually have a Sam I am head on now

[00:38:17] They're their new album is rat

[00:38:20] Yeah, I mean so good

[00:38:22] They keep putting out great stuff

[00:38:26] And I mean we got to play the old 930 club

[00:38:29] And I mean we got to play a sold out show at hammer jacks with the offspring and rancid that was pretty crazy

[00:38:38] I mean no one was there to see us it was already sold out before we got asked to open

[00:38:45] And but it was still just

[00:38:47] That's awesome

[00:38:48] Amazing

[00:38:50] I mean they were kind of dicks

[00:38:52] Dicks

[00:38:53] Two of us had girlfriends and they were we were like

[00:38:57] You know can we get our girlfriends in

[00:39:00] No, they got to buy tickets. It's like sold out

[00:39:03] They can't buy serious. Yeah. So finally we just told him forget it. We're not playing

[00:39:09] Unless we can have two people in free. I mean

[00:39:12] Yeah

[00:39:13] I don't know how many people this place held like 1200 or something. It's like

[00:39:18] The opening band that's not getting paid you can't let them bring in two people

[00:39:24] Yeah, fuck that

[00:39:25] They finally gave in at the last minute

[00:39:31] I mean we got to play local Palooza. I don't know if you went to that run

[00:39:37] No, so was that Dana who said that out Dana Lemakio?

[00:39:40] Yeah

[00:39:41] When was that

[00:39:42] I want to say around 93 ish maybe 94

[00:39:50] I'm not a hundred percent sure but I mean it

[00:39:53] It was something like

[00:39:56] Well over a thousand people

[00:39:58] You know just kids from all the high schools came

[00:40:02] Because it was like 12 bands and

[00:40:05] You know something like that is and it was like all local bands

[00:40:08] So it just made it more like

[00:40:10] It was like all local bands so it just made it that much more special

[00:40:14] Yeah

[00:40:15] Hanging out with all your friends and your friends bands and

[00:40:21] I mean that was really special

[00:40:25] And when when p-tanks did play out of town or tour

[00:40:30] We would do these random tours where you're just going all around and we never hit the same place twice

[00:40:38] So we did hit Boulder, Colorado two summers in a row

[00:40:43] And the second time I mean they were both fantastic shows

[00:40:46] The second time there were all these kids singing along

[00:40:51] I guess a couple of them got the CD last time and it was just like

[00:40:55] This is so amazing they're singing along and I can hear them

[00:41:00] Like it's kind of hard to beat that I mean

[00:41:03] Yeah

[00:41:04] Yeah, especially that far out of your area. That's awesome. Yeah, that's cool

[00:41:09] It's always that's how you know, you know

[00:41:12] That you know you got through to people

[00:41:15] Can we go back to the gong show real quick?

[00:41:17] Sure

[00:41:18] How the hell did you get on that?

[00:41:21] I don't remember I don't even know if you had to register ahead of time or if you just

[00:41:26] Where is it? Where was that?

[00:41:28] At the old 930 club

[00:41:29] Oh was that the old 930 club?

[00:41:31] Yeah, it was just like a three dollar thing or something to get in

[00:41:36] Or might have even been free who knows

[00:41:40] And they just had a bunch of random bands and

[00:41:43] That's the one when I get you sucked they'd like hit the gong and they

[00:41:46] Yeah, exactly

[00:41:51] But we played a couple songs and since there were so many of our friends there

[00:41:55] They all knew the songs and went wild so

[00:42:01] Yeah

[00:42:31] This one, my mother's stress I was watching when she made it

[00:42:36] This was the one I liked the best but now it's more defeated

[00:42:41] No much interest when I played it with my students playing it more

[00:42:46] Mother still lies when I find you they can live like you did before

[00:42:51] Now I have this my mother's stress was money hit with spare

[00:42:56] This was ripped from my mother's flesh and she was very rare

[00:43:01] She knows me God but the thing is screaming show her control

[00:43:06] Right before the thing there she came but you right there never go home

[00:43:21] Once the things the white speech slid while women screamed and ran

[00:43:26] They raged a little girl's home leaders cheered and the feeling she was hot

[00:43:30] One red band, with the children of what they killed

[00:43:34] All our men were hunks and skates

[00:43:37] This is way the one men skilled up and not dead were truly beat

[00:43:42] That's the worst ability the best while I'm away

[00:43:47] Getting old in all places but friends never give it they all take

[00:43:52] They lay hands on these walls of the same place as we are

[00:43:56] Now the things the white speech slid while women screamed and ran

[00:44:01] Hey guys!

[00:44:03] Music

[00:44:25] My fears rest no one is sure but the soul of the killer is gone in hell

[00:44:31] Please my people will hurt no more but just a spot where my people fell

[00:44:56] What are you listening to these days?

[00:45:00] I love a Wilhelm scream

[00:45:04] They're like the perfect band

[00:45:09] I don't know I listen to a lot of everything

[00:45:13] And yet I often don't listen to any music at all

[00:45:17] Just because ever since my iPod went from

[00:45:22] Stereo to one ear

[00:45:25] It's...

[00:45:28] You know sometimes I'll listen to some stuff on my phone or YouTube

[00:45:33] While I'm working but all the ads you have to like

[00:45:37] I'm working on stuff let me take off my gloves let me pull my phone out

[00:45:41] Fast forward this ad

[00:45:44] It's kind of hard to listen to music

[00:45:47] Career Suicide by Wilhelm Scream is like a top ten greatest album of all time

[00:45:52] Oh yeah that album is so fucking good

[00:45:56] It is I mean they're just...

[00:45:59] Have you seen them live?

[00:46:00] I have yeah

[00:46:02] So good live

[00:46:04] All of them are so talented

[00:46:07] Yeah

[00:46:09] And you know

[00:46:11] They can write songs where they show off that talent but it's not like

[00:46:16] Hey we wrote this part so we could just show off

[00:46:20] It works with the song

[00:46:22] And it's still amazing and you know they can still

[00:46:26] Pull it back and play something simple and

[00:46:29] Yeah they're great

[00:46:31] Where are they from?

[00:46:33] Massachusetts I believe

[00:46:35] Yeah one of those like shipping towns up there

[00:46:38] I'm gonna ask you these four questions that we asked

[00:46:41] Well it's usually three but we've added a fourth question

[00:46:44] Oh

[00:46:46] Yeah so okay so the first question is

[00:46:48] If you were on death row what would your final meal be?

[00:46:52] I really don't know because

[00:46:56] I just

[00:46:58] I like food

[00:47:00] A lot I eat it every day

[00:47:02] But I just

[00:47:04] I just don't care enough to

[00:47:09] You know

[00:47:11] Put a little salt on it

[00:47:13] Whatever it is will be great

[00:47:15] You know I'm not picky

[00:47:19] So any item with salt and sugar on top

[00:47:22] I mean

[00:47:24] We will

[00:47:26] Put you down for one bowl of gruel

[00:47:29] I mean

[00:47:31] Well I'd hope for something a little better than that

[00:47:34] I'm a simple man

[00:47:36] What if we're gonna do a fast free would run for you

[00:47:39] Okay

[00:47:40] I would probably say what's closest

[00:47:45] You know I mean some some are obviously better than others

[00:47:49] Burger King is not that great

[00:47:52] I agree

[00:47:54] You know I'd probably take Taco Bell or McDonald's or Chipotle

[00:47:58] Correct

[00:48:00] Taco Bell and McDonald's

[00:48:02] Panera bread

[00:48:05] Have you ever been such a disgrace like I have

[00:48:07] And gone through the Taco Bell drive-thru for tacos

[00:48:10] And the McDonald's drive-thru for fries in the same trip

[00:48:16] I probably have

[00:48:19] I've had my moments of yeah, I'm just eating in the car and shame by myself

[00:48:27] You know the family doesn't know

[00:48:32] That's why I love Del Taco so much out west because they

[00:48:34] They give you fries with the burritos

[00:48:37] It's like a

[00:48:39] Oh you can get fries with the burritos

[00:48:41] Oh that sounds nice

[00:48:43] But McDonald's fries are like the greatest things

[00:48:46] Yeah I mean you can't really beat them for fries

[00:48:49] Yeah

[00:48:51] Alright this is the new question

[00:48:53] What is your favorite cereal

[00:48:55] I would have to go

[00:48:57] Captain Crunch

[00:48:59] Nice

[00:49:01] Peanut Butter

[00:49:02] Oh that's a good choice

[00:49:04] I made Ron start asking this question because everyone has a favorite cereal

[00:49:09] Yeah

[00:49:11] It's so good the peanut butter Captain Crunch

[00:49:13] Yeah other Captain Crunch don't care

[00:49:16] Thirst in the trash but peanut butter

[00:49:20] It's good like sticks to the roof of your mouth

[00:49:23] It's just like that

[00:49:25] Yeah you gotta like let it sit for a minute

[00:49:27] And soften up

[00:49:29] So it doesn't cut your gums up too bad

[00:49:33] It's like even fiberglass

[00:49:36] I'm a fruity pebbles guy myself

[00:49:38] But Captain Crunch peanut butter is delicious

[00:49:43] The sharpest cereal

[00:49:45] Yeah

[00:49:47] It's how they torture newborns in some countries

[00:49:53] Alright now we have two more serious questions

[00:49:55] So this question is

[00:49:57] So they actually they could actually do this now

[00:49:59] If you die and become cremated

[00:50:00] They could take your ashes and form it into a vinyl record of your choice

[00:50:04] So if you were going to have your ashes eternalized in an album

[00:50:08] Which album would you pick

[00:50:10] And it has to be one that exists

[00:50:12] Um

[00:50:15] I mean

[00:50:18] I feel like

[00:50:20] If I'm going to do something with my ashes

[00:50:23] If I'm already gonna be that self involved

[00:50:26] It would probably have to be one of my bands

[00:50:29] So

[00:50:32] Um

[00:50:34] You know

[00:50:36] Maybe pick Nick with your mom just because that was never out on vinyl

[00:50:39] And they will be one of one

[00:50:41] With my ashes

[00:50:44] You know so the kids can sell it on eBay for 20 bucks

[00:50:48] Discounts

[00:50:50] I would pay at least $800 for that

[00:50:53] Just to let you know that's

[00:50:55] At least

[00:50:56] If that makes you feel bad

[00:50:58] That is crazy

[00:51:00] At least

[00:51:02] I did find on

[00:51:04] On eBay

[00:51:06] I don't know why I just looked on eBay and

[00:51:09] Because I am so self centered I put it in the p-tanks

[00:51:13] And uh

[00:51:15] Well actually I've been trying to collect like all the old recordings I've been on

[00:51:19] So I can have a copy of everything because

[00:51:22] Things have all disappeared

[00:51:24] You know

[00:51:26] Hundreds of records and CDs in my garage

[00:51:31] Um

[00:51:34] But so I put it in the p-tanks and

[00:51:37] And one of our old cassettes

[00:51:40] Someone bought it was like for $12 and I was like

[00:51:43] Maybe I'll come back tomorrow and bid on this

[00:51:46] You know I had the white cover

[00:51:49] This was the pink cover

[00:51:51] You know I could spare $12

[00:51:53] I'm at that point in my life now

[00:51:55] I'm really successful

[00:51:59] Not trying to brag but I can get that for $12

[00:52:02] Right

[00:52:03] But then I forgot about it and came back like five days later

[00:52:07] And it sold for like

[00:52:09] $287 dollars or something

[00:52:14] It's crazy

[00:52:16] Like

[00:52:17] Was that Exorcist Buttman or

[00:52:19] No it was actually the one before that

[00:52:21] Dance around the Potter's Wheel

[00:52:24] Oh okay

[00:52:27] Another classic

[00:52:30] Which

[00:52:32] If I was going to spend close to $300 on one

[00:52:35] It would not be that one

[00:52:37] It would definitely

[00:52:39] Be one of the others

[00:52:41] I hope they weren't too disappointed

[00:52:43] I wasn't the one selling it so

[00:52:45] We sold them for $5

[00:52:47] I thought you know we were fair

[00:52:49] See you guys could have been making so much more money

[00:52:53] Yeah

[00:52:55] Selling them for in the 80s for 286 bucks

[00:52:59] Yeah

[00:53:01] Alright

[00:53:03] Last question is

[00:53:05] Who is on your Mount Rushmore of Punk Rock

[00:53:07] You get five people because you get a crazy horse too

[00:53:10] Woo

[00:53:12] I would probably go

[00:53:16] Keith Morris

[00:53:18] I mean he's got circle jerks

[00:53:21] Black flag off

[00:53:23] Yeah

[00:53:24] He's great

[00:53:26] Probably go Bill Stevenson

[00:53:29] Black flag, descendants all

[00:53:34] You going to see descendants on Sunday?

[00:53:37] Yes

[00:53:38] Is it that soon?

[00:53:40] I got the ticket so many months ago

[00:53:43] I have no idea

[00:53:45] Yeah me too, yeah it's the 7th

[00:53:46] I think Sunday

[00:53:48] I will see you there

[00:53:50] Thanks for reminding me

[00:53:52] Alright so you got Keith Morris and Bill Stevenson

[00:53:55] Brian Baker

[00:53:57] Minor threat, Dagnasty

[00:54:00] Mad Religion

[00:54:02] Yeah

[00:54:05] Yeah he's done a ton of stuff

[00:54:08] It's crazy to think that he's been in bad religion longer than any of them now

[00:54:13] Yeah

[00:54:14] Except for the singer in the bass

[00:54:17] No I just mean his other bands

[00:54:20] Oh yeah

[00:54:22] Yeah because it's probably been 20 some years now

[00:54:27] Yeah he joined Bad Religion in like 1995 or 90s?

[00:54:31] Was it that really? It was the 90s?

[00:54:33] Yeah the gray race was his first album

[00:54:37] That he was on of theirs which I think is 96

[00:54:40] That was right after

[00:54:42] What's it called? Stranger Than Fiction? Yeah so it would have been 96

[00:54:46] That's crazy

[00:54:48] I know right

[00:54:50] It was crazy

[00:54:53] Dave Smalley

[00:54:55] Nice

[00:54:57] Dagnasty, Down My Law

[00:55:00] He lives right up the street from me here

[00:55:03] Yeah

[00:55:04] Do you ever see him?

[00:55:06] From time to time I run into him

[00:55:08] I heard he hasn't been doing too well

[00:55:11] Yeah I don't know him well enough to know that

[00:55:17] But he does come into Fredericksburg I mean because he's from here

[00:55:22] Yeah I would probably like take my kids and be like

[00:55:27] Throw your ball in their yard

[00:55:34] Hey now we're best friends buddy

[00:55:38] Yeah

[00:55:41] Ooh and a fifth one

[00:55:44] I feel like I should have been more prepared

[00:55:48] I might just have to say Milo because I mean

[00:55:52] You can't get any better than Milo

[00:55:56] I actually met him once

[00:56:00] Yeah because like the P-Tanks did a three week tour with this band called Swank

[00:56:08] And then afterwards Tony worked for like Lesson Jake and went on tour with them

[00:56:15] So at one of the warp tours I guess like around 97 or whenever descendants were playing

[00:56:22] He was like oh yeah come on backstage and we were hanging out

[00:56:26] And saw Jessica from Lesson Jake and they had just toured with the descendants

[00:56:32] She was like oh I'll introduce you and she's like

[00:56:35] She introduces us and I was like

[00:56:38] I didn't know what to say I was just like oh my god and so I said

[00:56:44] You rock

[00:56:49] It was my big chance and I totally blew it

[00:56:53] But I got to be in the shadow of greatness for a few seconds so that was pretty nice

[00:57:00] Awesome

[00:57:01] I went to that show at the 930 Club actually when the descendants of Lesson Jake

[00:57:06] And I think Gutter Mouth was touring with him in that show too, it was in 1996 I think

[00:57:11] Yeah yeah I was at that one that was

[00:57:14] Or was it US Bombs or New Bomb Turks

[00:57:18] No it was US Bombs, US Bombs opened

[00:57:21] That's right because I can never remember the fourth band that played so thank you

[00:57:25] But yeah it was US Bombs, Gutter Mouth, Lesson Jake and the descendants

[00:57:28] It's exactly what it was

[00:57:30] 930 Club? The new 930 Club

[00:57:33] But you know it was like super new then

[00:57:36] Yeah yeah that would have been pretty new and that was an amazing show

[00:57:43] Yeah that was an incredible show

[00:57:45] I loved Lesson Jake too so

[00:57:48] Yeah we just saw them down in Norfolk Matt and I went down

[00:57:51] I don't know

[00:57:53] That would have been awesome

[00:57:55] It was, it was a good show and the Raging Nathan's too

[00:58:00] Yeah

[00:58:02] Who are not terrible

[00:58:04] And none of them are gonna name Nathan

[00:58:06] Yeah not a single one of them are gonna name Nathan

[00:58:09] Yet

[00:58:11] Yes

[00:58:13] The judge has to approve the paperwork

[00:58:19] What do you have going on now Funny?

[00:58:21] Um

[00:58:23] Well

[00:58:25] My one band found down just started playing again

[00:58:30] Practicing so

[00:58:32] Hopefully that'll be a thing

[00:58:35] It's so hard to do bands with grownups

[00:58:38] It totally is

[00:58:40] Cause even

[00:58:42] Even when you're in a band with responsible people

[00:58:45] They still have responsible people reasons

[00:58:48] It's almost worse when it's responsible

[00:58:50] Yeah exactly

[00:58:52] You have to take your kid to the hospital

[00:58:55] Yeah can't really get angry at that

[00:58:58] We're trying to be in a band here man come on

[00:59:01] Yeah

[00:59:03] I mean

[00:59:05] Like

[00:59:07] We were supposed to practice last week and the bass player couldn't practice

[00:59:11] Cause he's an architect and he had this project they were working on it had to get finished

[00:59:16] Yeah

[00:59:18] So like two days later he sent us a message like

[00:59:20] The high school's finished

[00:59:23] 700 pages of 3 by 4

[00:59:28] Wow

[00:59:30] Drawings for this high school

[00:59:32] Oh my god I can't even imagine

[00:59:38] The Gold Hood sucks

[00:59:40] So hopefully that will be a thing

[00:59:43] And then I just started jamming with this other group of guys down in Edgewater

[00:59:51] Like last week so it's still a little early to tell

[00:59:56] Are you playing bass or are you singing?

[00:59:59] Singing

[01:00:01] They have talented people so cool

[01:00:07] They don't need me bop bop bop bop

[01:00:10] Actually I'm not that bad at bass it's just

[01:00:13] Everything else I'm terrible at

[01:00:16] Well look thanks so much for doing this really appreciate it it was awesome to talk to you like

[01:00:23] I was telling Matt you know before

[01:00:34] You actually bought an ailment CD off me at a show

[01:00:37] Yeah but I can't remember I might have gotten the Christmas record too

[01:00:42] Yeah I think so yeah

[01:00:43] But I was telling Matt I was like the p-tanks were like my no effects for like my first couple years of punkdom and it was like

[01:00:52] You know I was kind of I was getting nervous today I was like funny is gonna be on this show again

[01:00:58] You don't have to be nervous talking to me

[01:01:02] It was like these other guys with all this amazing talent

[01:01:07] And then like I'm the roadie who they also gave the mic to like

[01:01:15] He carries in our equipment so let's let him sing to I mean basically

[01:01:21] I'll look for you at the

[01:03:07] Where am I?

[01:03:11] Big eyes, red lips, red blood,

[01:03:12] Tucked on the eye,

[01:03:13] Beautiful body,

[01:03:14] Now I'm looking for a joint

[01:03:15] And the shadow of the face,

[01:03:16] Tucked on the floor,

[01:03:17] She's pulling out her tongue,

[01:03:18] What's what's wrong?

[01:03:19] She won't notice,

[01:03:20] But if she does,

[01:03:21] I don't care.

[01:03:24] I will repeat the link,

[01:03:25] I'm really biased.

[01:03:26] I just,

[01:03:28] She's gone away.

[01:03:35] Wanna die to be a man?

[01:03:36] Wanna die to be a man?

[01:03:37] Wanna die to be a man?

[01:03:38] Wanna die to be a man?

[01:03:39] Wanna die to be a man?

[01:03:40] It's time
