Ron and Matt, Happy Father's Day

[00:00:00] . . So they called up the Jasons and we said, F*** no! Then they called us again and they gave us 20 bucks And we wrote them a song that said, You're black, yes sir! Then they gave us more money and they asked us really nice

[00:01:10] And we finally gave in and we said, Alright, I'll write you a song But it's gonna be a clone of a screeching weasel song That we heard a while ago So we wrote them a jingle and it sounded really rad

[00:01:20] It was the best little jingle that their pockets ever had But the file got corrupted and the email didn't work Now they're stuck without a jingle singing our brain tag Our brain tag, our brain tag, our brain tag In a very non-copyright infringing sort of way

[00:01:52] How's it going? Uh, going. How was the beach? Oh, it was as good as the Sandy Point State Park beach could be That's so bad Yeah I've been craving submerging myself in water I know that sounds weird Because I haven't been to a beach in like years

[00:02:15] I mean when I was in LA we went to Malibu But I didn't go in the water The water is freezing in LA But I haven't, I don't know And Sandy Point is like 25 minutes from my house

[00:02:24] For those of you who don't know, Sandy Point is the beach It's right under, like you're basically right at the base of the Bay Bridge So you can see the Bay Bridge And it's a beach on the Chesapeake Bay So it's, you know, it's the beach-ish

[00:02:41] It's not a beach at all Really Yeah But yeah, it's a good place to soak up some vitamin D And to take a dip Yeah, all right Looks like there was some other people out there today too So yeah, so I went yesterday and today Yesterday was awesome

[00:03:02] There was hardly anybody there And I was like, all right, this is great Like I'll never go there on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday ever Because it's a beach full of riff-raff Because it's basically for people who can't afford to go two more hours to Ocean City

[00:03:16] Me included Just like I make fun of the riff-raff in coach when I fly first class I don't belong in first class But every now and then I'll treat myself And I'll talk shit about the other people while I do First class is nice, man

[00:03:34] They give you those hot towels So you don't have to pay for drinks No, real plates Yeah, real plates You get your food presented to you on real plates If you've ever flown first class and you can't afford to, don't do it once

[00:03:47] Yeah, I miss the days when we could like go up to the counter right at the gate And be like, hey, is your first class full? And they'd be like, no, would you like to upgrade to first class for $100? And you're like, yes Yes, I would

[00:04:09] Now it's like, would you like to upgrade to first class for $15,273? Like, no Did I ever tell you my airplane story about the flight attendant dude? I don't think so Going into Atlanta I wasn't going to Atlanta, but you know how on the East Coast everything goes

[00:04:35] If it's Delta, then that Delta is like Atlanta is the hub So if you're taking Delta, you're stopping in Atlanta I was going down to Atlanta just as a layover to immediately go west And there was like this flamboyantly gay black dude was one of the

[00:04:53] A gay flight attendant? There's no way Well, this story evolves But he was like this big dude with dreads too And he comes down the aisle or whatever And I start joking around with him And you know, I got a drink

[00:05:16] And I was like, can I get two of those? And he was like, we're only allowed to do like one Since the flights like an hour And I was like, no worries, dude. That's cool. I'll just take the one

[00:05:27] And so then like as we're going into approach to land I'm in the very last seat Very last row, very last seat in the airplane There's no one back there like the rest of the plane was full I'm back in the last row by myself

[00:05:44] So nobody sitting right next to me because it's two seats on either side And nobody's sitting in the other two seats Okay, that's we're going to put his seat You know that they're supposed to strap into But he comes back and he sits down

[00:05:57] Well, he goes to sit in the in the two that are empty Because way more comfortable than the stupid flight attendant seat And he was the whole time he was joking He was he was doing some crazy shit on the microphone making people laugh

[00:06:12] Like dude was hilarious, you know So he comes back there as we're doing the approach And he leans over and he fucking holds out his hand And there's another fucking little vodka bottle in it And he was like, here you go, dude And like when he said that

[00:06:28] He didn't sound flamboyantly gay at all Really? Yeah, and I had to do it. I picked it up and I looked at him and I was like Was that an act? He leans over he's like, he's like, hell yeah, that's an act And he was like

[00:06:44] And I was like, that was a fucking act He's like, yeah, man, he's like shit goes over so much easier We do that shit on airplane Like he was like fucking everybody loves you Like I was like, that's fucking hilarious Yeah, yeah

[00:06:58] And then we bullshitted until we land and he was cool as fuck But yeah, he was not flamboyantly gay at all That is incredible Yeah, I thought that was hilarious Yeah That's really funny No, and he gave me an extra fucking vodka bottle Shout out to you

[00:07:18] Yeah, dude, whoever your name is, dude That dude kicked ass Out there doing God's work Yeah That's awesome What are you drinking? Oh, nothing special. This is Celsius Okay Like energy drink for whatever reason Champagne I know I saw that Highlight The fucking champagne of beers

[00:07:38] World's greatest overstatement I like champagne I get these times when But I'm just like, I just need a highlight Yeah And then I'll drink Highlight for like a week straight When I was younger, especially when I was underage I think Highlight was like my number one

[00:08:04] I don't know why Because it's the number one Because it is the champagne Champagne of beer Number one It's not bad No Really not No, if you want something that goes down It's not good but it's not bad Yeah I mean it is what it is

[00:08:21] It's a good day drinking beer It is a good day Keep you hydrated Yeah, not as well as Miller Lite but yeah Right, right That's true Oh, the good And you're living the high life You are I am You can't run on that

[00:08:37] Is there like a witch on a moon? Is that the... It's the beer of mystics Yeah Then I won't drink it for like two years I haven't had this in at least a decade Yeah I saw it at the liquor store I was like, oh, Highlight

[00:08:52] I remember Highlight Let's get some Highlight Drink it for a week straight Won't get it for two years I had a massage and then I got my car washed And then I picked up some Miller Highlight Was that after you left the beach? The beach In quotes

[00:09:07] Right, so for those of you who don't know The beach Sandy Point, like I was saying earlier Is a small beach on the Chesapeake Bay So let me give you an example of what that is like So today when I pulled up my chair

[00:09:21] I put my chair down and I noticed this little golf cart Looking thing approaching me with a lifeguard in it And he was about... He stopped about 10 yards away from me Closer to the water And he brings up this garbage bag And he has these rubber gloves on

[00:09:36] And he's about to... He's approaching a pile of something And I'm like, oh my God, what the fuck? And then I'm watching him like Please tell him he's not picking up human shit He's picking up He picked up... No, he wasn't

[00:09:48] So he picked up this huge dead fish Oh And put it in a little bag And put it on his golf cart and drove away I guess he was hungry Probably, yeah It looked like a cartoon fish It was like... You could see like the...

[00:10:05] It was like a fish bone It had like the fish and like the skate Like you know the spine and like the fucking... Like something got to it and just left it there Shout out, fish bone Shout out, yeah Oh, who I will see this coming...

[00:10:18] October, we're going to talk about the Endo FX final show lineup Oh, yeah Oh, fish bones playing that show Yeah, and today was definitely At the beach, Sandy Point State Park It was definitely camp day When you pull... When I pull into the parking lot

[00:10:37] And I see like 18 school buses Just like fuck Also, fat kids I'm a fat person and I grew up as a fat kid Stop wearing t-shirts in the fucking water It is worse Nothing... It makes you look so much worse

[00:10:55] Than just fucking going in the water with no shirt on I know there's no fat kids listening to this show I'm sure there's no gizzles to this Parents of fat kids Stop letting your kids go in the water with t-shirts on You're not fooling anybody

[00:11:08] It's basically man titty highlighter It's an OBHT It clings to your... You see everything worse And then the kids, the poor kids And they're like pulling it off as fucking man boobs Stop putting your kids in the water with t-shirts if they're fat

[00:11:27] Maybe it's maybe it was the kids choice Well, stop... Well, don't let them do it Yeah, yeah, there you go Just be fat It's okay Especially when you're at Sandy Point Everyone there is fat and ugly That's great That's what Sandy Point is for

[00:11:44] Man, just fucking take the shirt off, dude Ten times better than going in with a... Especially so many kids with white t-shirts Now you're in a fucking... Now I want to give you a dollar Because now I'm... Now it's kind of hot

[00:12:01] Yeah, I mean at least wear a black t-shirt or something Should you? You gotta You gotta Yeah, so many... Every fat kid was wearing a t-shirt Wearing a white t-shirt in the pool or in the ocean Or the bay or wherever It's just pointless It is

[00:12:22] Because you're going to see everything anyway Yeah, so stupid Unless every fat kid just happened to be allergic to the sun today That could be... I guess that could be it, but I doubt it

[00:12:34] I don't think wearing a t-shirt is going to have anything one way to do Or another if you're allergic to the sun Right I know the sun can make you sneeze Yeah That's weird It happens to my wife sometimes She... One of my cousins

[00:12:52] Every time he walks out in bright ass sun, he sneezes a whole bunch I went to the coolest store ever today, by the way I was looking for a beach chair on my way to the beach I said the beach in air quotes There's this store called Anglers

[00:13:07] And it's right before the Chesapeake Bay Bridge on Route 50 in Maryland And let me tell you what you could buy at this store You could buy all the fishing equipment Rods, lures, everything you'd ever dreamed of You could buy giant coolers for the beer, which they sell beer

[00:13:25] You could buy bourbon You could buy ammunition And you could buy fucking guns This store should have been called America Fishing, alcohol and guns It was a gigantic fucking booze section One aisle down from where the fucking rifles are on the wall It was the greatest store

[00:13:49] Every fucking store in America should be like that It was rad It reminded me of that meme like Alcohol, tobacco and firearms should be the name of a convenience store Not a government agency I would rename that store to America, fuck yeah

[00:14:05] The only thing it was missing was a strip club in the back It might have been I didn't stay in that long Yeah, you had titties to that store? I know That's pretty much every strip mall has one of those Down in like Jacksonville, North Carolina

[00:14:26] You know where Fort LaShun is Oh, you always find the gnarliest places outside of fucking Millett Especially when you're in the middle of the street Especially in the army bases Marine bases, no Put LaShun down in North Carolina I think LaShun is in North Carolina No, I'm sorry

[00:14:45] That's South Carolina It's Jacksonville Florida No, not Florida It's one of the Carolinas Jacksonville is in North Carolina What's the boot camp? I'm thinking of Parris Island, South Carolina Yeah, Fort Bragg is boot camp Parris Island is boot camp for Marines Oh yeah, yeah Fort Bragg is army

[00:15:14] Yeah, no, it's Jacksonville, North Carolina Because it's right outside of Emerald Isle, Atlantic Beach, North Carolina Which is, I know it's gotten a little bit more commercial now But that has been my favorite beach for a while Because technically it's private

[00:15:31] Even though a lot of people are there And you can drink on it Where is it? North Carolina Is it northern North Carolina? No, it's south of Nags Head and Hatteras So Hatteras comes to that little point

[00:15:47] Which is, Hatteras is the southernest part of all the string of beaches Like Duck and Nags Head and all that stuff Right, right So when you hit that little point in Hatteras It comes into the west a little bit And the little crest to the west

[00:15:59] It's the same beach But half of it is called Emerald Isle And the other half is called Atlantic Beach And I can never remember which side But regardless, yeah That beach is fucking cool As long as you grab a fishing license

[00:16:16] Like a temporary fishing license in North Carolina costs like You know, it's like 15 bucks for a week Grab a fishing license You can just sit on that beach all day Drink beer and fish And swim too That's awesome I want to start fishing That was the first

[00:16:34] Yeah, fishing is fun I mean, I like to actually catch and eat my fish Versus a lot of people who just like to fish for sport I mean, they're not killing any things So I guess it's cool But I like to catch and cook For whatever reason

[00:16:50] I'm not interested in just fishing the fish Right I think it's more fulfilling if you bring home your meal Like that's awesome Yeah, that's why I like going camping and doing that Because you can just gut it and fillet it And cook it right there on your campfire

[00:17:06] And it's so fucking good Yeah, in Maryland we have a catfish problem Which is my favorite fish of all time Blue cats Oh, I got some catfish in the freezer right now Nice Yeah, blue cats are my favorite fish Maybe my favorite seafood And I love seafood

[00:17:25] And right now in Maryland they're invasive So there's no limits on size and amount That you could pull out of the fucking water It's like the snakeheads I think that's both Maryland and Virginia massively invasive And snakeheads are delicious Oh my god

[00:17:42] We were talking about that at band practice actually last week Because Justin lives right on the water And we always go down on our breaks And just sit on the water Speaking of that, I was texting with him the other night Oh nice

[00:17:58] And Red and I were outside on the deck Because I was telling him whenever it is that you guys end up playing Fredericksburg at some point Because you would Yeah, we would I was like, y'all can crash at our house Yeah, fuck yeah We got space

[00:18:19] We got a bunk bed and a queen size bed and a giant ass couch That's enough space for three extra people But I was showing him pictures of what we did to the deck Because we completely rejuvenated our deck outside Oh yeah

[00:18:38] It pruned back a bunch of trees and bushes and shit And created a little alcove, lights, all that shit It's cool But I was like, you gotta come hang out And I sent him a picture, Red and I And I was drinking a twisted tea

[00:18:52] And he immediately sent me a picture back And we were wearing the same shirt Both drinking twisted tea Oh yeah Which was actually the shirt that I'm wearing right now Which is Houston and the Dirty Rats Shout out Houston and the Dirty Rats

[00:23:00] And yeah, we talked to our old bassist Mike Who lives in England We talked to him The lead guitarist Mitch unfortunately Stopped playing guitar years ago Which is ridiculous because the dude was insanely good Yeah that sucks And who knows where the drummer is

[00:23:16] He went out to Utah and became Mormon Oh really? Yeah so Who knows where he is But But we were talking about maybe like I'm sure he has at least eight kids Oh no he does No he definitely does

[00:23:38] I think the last time I spoke to him he had five So Jesus And that was like years ago yeah Wow But yeah we were talking about maybe if we do that Then like writing four new songs And getting two other people I know I

[00:23:54] A drummer and a lead guitarist Which easily I can Yeah To do that little project And then putting something new out By that band and just Just to put a closing thing on it Yeah Who knows maybe a show happens sometimes Maybe doesn't

[00:25:02] I mean that's how that That says a lot about the character of that band as well Yeah we opened mad shows Same thing when we shouldn't have been open shows Because we just wanted to fucking play Yeah Like a lineup like this one

[00:25:19] I would have said fucking yes too Like no doubt Oh fuck yeah That being said I don't think it's gonna take very long for 40 Reps to start getting offers to headline things Especially after they play Fest this year Yeah They are going to blow up from playing Fest

[00:25:41] Yeah there's the more eyes they get on them and ears Obviously ears are more important than eyes But yeah they're gonna explode after Fest Any of 40, any of you guys or gal from 40 Reps are listening to this right now Bring a lot of merch with you to Fest

[00:26:00] I'm sure you already probably know this but do it because you are gonna sell a lot of merch there Yeah I'm telling you one of the greatest So my wife she came to that 40 Rep show that we put on What show was that? That was shit

[00:26:22] It was the Pie Shop It wasn't Keppy No It might have been our Christmas show with the Jasons It was, it was Yeah It was because I remember members of the Jasons coming up to me during that show and being like

[00:26:42] Hey that band that played at the beginning And I was like yeah they were like that's probably the best band we've ever heard on one of your guys' And the Jasons never fucking any of them never gawk about other bands Oh yeah totally It just doesn't happen

[00:26:59] Right and yeah and my wife was at that show, my wife is not a punk rock fan She's not a punk rock hater but she's just not her thing And she couldn't stop talking about him She loved 40 Reps and I loved 40 Reps, someone who isn't a punk rock

[00:27:15] And that's fucking huge Yeah That says a lot about your band When somebody who's not into punk rock goes to a punk show and sees you and is like Who is that band? That band was fucking really good Yeah You know Yep So good on your 40 Reps Yeah

[00:27:32] You guys get something, don't stop Exactly And, and on top of that they just have a great name Yeah If you don't know what 40 Reps means Go down to your local bodega or corner store if you will

[00:27:51] Grab yourself a nice ice cold 40 of Hurricane, Mickey's, Cold 45, Steel Reserve, OE, whatever Whatever your malt liquor of choice is, Blue Bull, I can't leave Schlitz out That was a fave of mine for a while That was King Cobra and Hurricane

[00:28:11] There you go, King Cobra, that one too, go grab I like the Hurricanes because it says category five on there Does it really? It's gotta be a category five Yeah, that's my favorite, that's why that's my favorite 40 But yeah

[00:28:31] Go grab a nice cold 40 and fucking pound that shit to the head And you'll understand what 40 Reps means Mickey's was my shit but they only came in 32s I think They make 40s They make 40s, they're harder to find I just remember the 32s and the grenade bottles

[00:28:51] I love Mickey's but I tend to go with the grenades over 40 Number one because you can't find the actual 40s of Mickey's all that often My grocery store Giant across the street has them sometimes Really? Giant? Yeah, Giant

[00:29:07] I don't think I've ever seen a 40s Mickey, I've seen 32 I've drank plenty of 32s of Mickey's but I've never seen a 40 They do make 40 ounce Mickey's I believe you That's the thing And not my corner store but the same brand of corner store

[00:29:22] They're called Express Food Mart There's like four of them in Fredericksburg It's like this little Pakistani empire But the other one, the one that's down the hill, it's the big one The other three are all smaller ones The big one, they have a great beer selection Holy shit

[00:29:46] Dude, malt liquor is delicious I fucking love malt liquor I know It sucks I know it gets a bad rep but it's fucking good I love it And it sucks because I can't really, like I shouldn't drink it I can drink it but I shouldn't

[00:29:59] Because it fucking, it fucks with my Is it a gout thing? Yeah I've only ever had one instance of a gout flare-up in my life But it was when I started drinking malt liquor again a couple years ago What's the difference between malt liquor and regular beer?

[00:30:19] High gravity, baby That's what it says on the bottle I honestly don't know There's like a, there's almost a sweetness to the malt liquor Yeah It's, yeah I don't I know that an old friend of mine

[00:30:45] Used to make fucking beer battered, steel reserved beer battered fucking fish and chips And they were fucking, it was incredible Nice Yeah, yeah, he'd fucking do these badass fucking fried fish filets Yeah, fried fish is like the greatest food ever

[00:31:02] Beer battered in steel reserved, oh my god it is Actually we're having a fish dinner tonight Fried catfish, fuck Not fried fish tonight Although I think I am going to fry that catfish that we have in the freezer Yeah Now we're getting at some Pollock tonight Nice

[00:31:22] I would love to do what we did when we went camping on my birthday We made, we made like Pollock and it was like lemon pepper Pollock And fucking kimchi like sliders Nice Dude, like oh my god We had planned a completely different lunch Yeah

[00:31:48] And something, something went awry with something we had We had to like makeshift something And we switched our lunch in from Bratz and we were like well let's just do the fish right now Yeah We had got bought this jar of kimchi

[00:32:05] Just for a topping and I was like oh let's just mix the fish and kimchi and put it on fricking hot dog buns And oh that was a fucking excellent choice like that's happening again Are you a kimchi person? I've never had kimchi

[00:32:22] I've smelled kimchi but I've never had kimchi I mean there's a vast difference between good kimchi and not good kimchi Yeah I could, I'm not against trying it It's not like I've just never really like I've never fucked with Korean food

[00:32:37] Kimchi is weird because it's like fermented cabbage I mean I love cabbage, I love coleslaw Oh if you like cabbage and coleslaw I love coleslaw That's my favorite side of all You like kimchi? There's of all fucking, well there's this one brand of kimchi

[00:32:51] They actually sell it at Walmart of all places But it's sold other places too But it's real mild but you still get the good kimchi flavor You would probably really really like it If you're into cabbage and coleslaw Just think of like cabbage or coleslaw

[00:33:10] But kind of like a little bit of fermented Do you like sauerkraut? Love sauerkraut Oh you'll love kimchi Love sauerkraut It's like, think of kimchi as like spicy In fact sometimes I'll just make sauerkraut and eat sauerkraut

[00:33:28] Kimchi basically if you think of it like this in your head It's like spicy fucking sauerkraut Okay yeah Yeah like I said I've never like It's not like I've had a chance and it grossed me out

[00:33:40] I just never for whatever reason Korean food has never really crossed my path that often Oh you gotta try I'm definitely up for trying it for sure Another really good thing is like spam and kimchi sliders Like fried spam I like spam, spam is huge in Hawaii

[00:33:59] Hawaiians like even at Mc, when you go to McDonalds in Hawaii There's like spam options for stuff Go buy those little Hawaiian, you know the little Hawaiian sweet rolls Oh do I know Yeah so you get some of those 20% of my overweightedness is those fucking sweet rolls

[00:34:19] Yeah you get those little sweet rolls And you cut a little like flat square spam about the size of the sweet roll Fry those and then you put the spam on the sweet roll Top it with kimchi Put a little bit of mayo on there

[00:34:33] Boom dude so good, oh my god so good But it has to be the specific Hawaiian sweet rolls like the brand Like I've tried it with other companies that try to do that Like King's Hawaiian Yes yeah you gotta get that brand

[00:34:50] Because the other brands don't, it's not quite the same And it tastes kind of weird with the spam Okay With the other brands, it has to be the King's Hawaiian brand Because I tried it with the Pepperidge Farm ones And fucking Pepperidge Farm did not remember

[00:35:12] Like I was like oh Pepperidge Farms A lot of your stuff is good, not your fucking sweet rolls Your sweet rolls can fucking die a horrid death I don't normally throw food away But I threw those sweet rolls right in the fucking garbage

[00:35:35] I remember when I was younger my I went to college in New York at this college called Iona Before I transferred to the University of Maryland And my girlfriend at the time went to Rutgers in Jersey Oh Rutgers

[00:35:49] Yeah and it was a Pepperidge Farm factory not far from Rutgers And they had this store front The store like off maybe like right down the road from the factory Where it was like all their damaged goods were like super cheap

[00:36:03] Just because if the cookies were like shaped wrong You know what I mean? It was just like If there was anything slightly wrong with like the shape of the food They would like sell it cheap at this one, this like reject store

[00:46:47] Yeah that's Saturday Show It's fucking stacked dude Have you ever seen the Mad Caddies live? Yeah I saw them I saw them in Ohio when we went to The NoFX show last year They're great live, although their current line up Is just like Chuck and a bunch of

[00:47:05] I mean Sean Seller plays drum and a bunch of other people Were in the band for years but man I saw them in their heyday and they were just so Good live Partied with them one time too Nice Yeah 2002 It was A free show At American

[00:47:31] In the American University food court in D.C That's awesome And it was It was fucking God Who was the first band that played? It was some band that was on Honest Don's Or Pink and Black You remember when they had that Pink and Black record thing?

[00:47:49] It was one of those A band that was like Three chicks They opened I wish I could remember their name Were they local to Maryland? No not at all There was no bands that were local that played in the show So they opened Then The Real Mackenzie's played

[00:48:13] Who are fucking awesome Then the Mad Caddies played Was Lil Joe in the Real Mackenzie's? No The Real Mackenzie's are like from Vancouver They're like a Scottish punk band They're fucking awesome if you've never gotten Where's the band that Lil Joe was in?

[00:48:29] He was in a Scott punk band? I thought he was I don't know So yeah Whatever the first band was Then the Real Mackenzie's Then Mad Caddies and Rise Against This was before Rise Against became famous Rise Against still had only had their first album out Nice

[00:48:49] It was before What was their second album called? Black Masks and Gasoline I think Joe was in the Real Mackenzie's And Mad Caddies Joe Raposo? He was in the Mad Caddies? Are you sure? According to Wikipedia Hang on Weird I don't think he wasn't there then At least

[00:49:15] Yeah So we The American University food court is just such a weird place For a fucking punk rock show It's been in 2002 Sounds like a weird place They had one keg That was not Full They ran out And they didn't have another one So like

[00:49:44] Me and my buddy that I was with We were trying to figure out what to do So in between Sets We had gone to the bathroom And we were talking about going to get beer We were pissing And Chuck, the singer from the Mad Caddies

[00:50:00] Comes out of the stall And he's like They're out of beer? And we were like yeah The guy behind the counter Just said their keg is tapped And that's it And he was like oh that fucking sucks Because we were talking about going to the store

[00:50:20] He's like are you guys going to go to the store to get more beer? And we're like yeah And he's like hold on a minute And we're all in a pub And he's like You guys are really great I mean, it's like We're a good band

[00:50:36] And the real McKenzie's Could we send our fucking roadie With you And we'll just get a bunch of beer And we can sneak it all in In our gear cases And you guys can come back and party with us And we'll all drink and have a great time

[00:50:52] And so their roadie bought all this beer, went back, rolled it all in in their gear cases and partied with the mad caddies and the real Mackenzie's just all night long in this back room in the American

[00:51:11] University food court of all places. I remember only the drummer from Rise Against partied with us. I remember like sharing a cigarette with him because it was like the last cigarette.

[00:51:25] Yeah, but he was cool. Brandon. He was he was super cool. None of the other guys from Rise Against partied or anything, I guess. But so Joe Raposo played bass for the real Mackenzie's

[00:51:37] from oh four to 2010. No shit. Six years. Yeah. Yeah. So this was before he was in that band. Yeah. No shit. Yeah. Damn. Now that makes me I because I love that band. Now I

[00:51:51] got to go back and listen to some of those albums and be like, oh shit, that's fucking Joe. Yeah. 2004 to 2010. He was the bass player. And who else was in that band? Oh, no, you said he was also in. So he it's on Joe Raposo's Wikipedia page. It

[00:52:07] says that he played for Mad Caddies. But on the Mad Caddies Wikipedia page, he's not in there at all. So yeah, I wonder if he just like toured with him or something. Because maybe because RKL's drummer for a short period to like Derek Lord, the guy who

[00:52:25] was lagging drummer with me to suicide and then Boz Rivera, who both played for RKL in the early 2000s also played for the Mad Caddies in the same year. Boz Rivera 2000 2001 and 2008 2009. Yeah. Yeah. So you must have you must have

[00:52:40] seen them in two. If you saw if you saw it was 2002, that's when I saw I don't know who was drumming for the Mad Caddies. But yeah, so Boz is there from 0 to 1. But it was 2002 when I saw him. So I think it was the drummer after

[00:52:53] Brian Flanagan. Yeah, that one too. Yeah, it was that dude. Yeah. Yeah. That's an interesting show. Only time I've ever heard of any sort of punk show at American University. It's so wild. And like, yeah, it was like the Fat Tour too. It was like one of

[00:53:11] the first fat tours. Cool. I also have a American University cafeteria story. For a brief moment in my life, I worked for Deer Park Water delivering water. Oh, yeah. And I drove a huge truck filled with those those five gallon bottles of water

[00:53:33] that I would bring delivered to customers. And when I finally got my own route, American University was on my route. And I had to go there and deliver like hundreds of those bottles to their cafeteria. And it was a pretty big truck.

[00:53:51] And I'm trying to back the truck into their fucking loading dock. And I couldn't do it. So I left. They didn't get any of their water and I quit. I got back and I quit the night. I was like, I might even come in today as I

[00:54:07] don't want to do this anymore. I couldn't. So sorry, American University for not getting you. That would have been like 90. That would have been 2000, probably 2000 or 2001. Yeah. So right around that time. Yeah. So if you guys were lacking bottles water at that point, it might

[00:54:25] have been because of me. American University sucks anyway. It's like the part of D.C. that like no one ever goes to unless you go to American University. All right. Right. I remember it spent a half an hour trying to back into that fucking loading dock.

[00:54:40] I was like, fuck you guys. I just drove away. I drove right back to fucking your park with all the water. My boss was so pissed. And the next day I'm like, I'm not coming in and fuck it. Fuck it. Fuck it. I'm out.

[00:54:53] I remember the dude like the work that American like trying to like back me in, like trying to give me direction. And I'm just like, see you. I just drove away. It's like, what are you driving? My my my fucking route was like Georgetown parts of D.C.

[00:55:12] Oh, yeah. The big fucking truck. I've done it. I drove I drove. I delivered sports equipment for Galleons. Do you remember Galleons? Yeah. Yeah. We bought out my dick sporting goods. They were like major competitors. Yeah, I used to I drove around D.C. I used to deliver.

[00:55:27] I used to deliver like treadmills and home gyms and fucking shit. Pool tables and ellipticals and all that shit. Deliver and install. Yeah. 16 foot box truck through D.C. I got so good at that shit. I was like whipping in parallel parking, just whipping into spots. Yeah.

[00:55:44] Yeah, I did not get good at it. So I quit. That's the type of person I am. So we're going to stick with September 21st as the beer release. OK, because H Festival thankfully started thankfully sucks. Thank you, IMP or whatever you are, whoever put that together.

[00:56:03] Thank you for having a complete shit festival lineup. Ticket prices, no side stage. We really appreciate it because now we do not have to reschedule our beer release because anybody who's going to that age of festival, we don't want an hour event anyway.

[00:56:20] Yeah. So I thought that at least have. A second or third stage with a couple of punk bands that would take people away from what we want to do, but that's not happening. I haven't heard one positive thing about that at all, even from people who

[00:56:34] are into that music. I can't remember who said it, but somebody made a comment on social media and I immediately popped in my head the same thing. I was like, who made this fucking flyer? Like a three year old like this is supposed to be some festival.

[00:56:50] It wasn't even it's not even 90s looking. It's like 60s looking like shitty looking. Yeah, it's yeah. And it's like they got some 15 year old kid who works at Kinko's to draw it up real quick. Well, it's funny because when they when they announced it was 21st,

[00:57:07] the first thing I did was I after seeing how many people were excited about it, I hit up the brewery and I was like, hey, look, we're probably going to have to change the date of our beer release. And I didn't hear anything back from them.

[00:57:21] And then three days later, when they released the lineup and the stipulation, you know, I was like, you know what? They released the lineup. We don't need to change it. No one's going to that shit. And they just responded like, haha. So thank you.

[00:57:37] 930 club, IMP, whatever your group is. Thank you for sucking. Yep. It'll still be September 21st. Good beer. Good punk bands. Hey, Mark of Virginia. Yeah. Happy Father's Day. This is coming on Sunday. Father's Day. Happy Father's Day to everybody. That's right. Yes, we are fathers.

[00:57:56] We'll be at while you're listening to this episode will be at strung out in DC at the black cat. Hell yeah. Also, Steve Rovery from American television hit me up yesterday and said he made a whole bunch of fucking flyers for the July 6th diesel boy show.

[00:58:14] And he's given them to Chris or Yukon because he's you can't so we can all hand out fucking flyers. Sweet. I was thinking because I was thinking about making some, but that's awesome that they already he's going to have them. So that's good.

[00:58:26] Cause he was like, are you guys flying there? And I was like, I don't think Ron and I have ever flired OVH related. Yeah. He was like, well, he got a whole bunch now. So that's a good place to do that. That's a great place to do that.

[00:58:39] Yeah. It's like the perfect place. It really is. Yeah. That strung out to promote for diesel boy. Yeah, that's fucking rad. All right. Cool, man. Cool. I'll see you Sunday. Awesome. Sounds good. All right. Later.
