Welcome to Guys, a podcast about guys. I am your host, Brian. This week with me, I haveris james the chomper how's it going chomper i hate that he does i hate that one um so like being called a chomper well i don't know again i don't know what it means but you don't want to be that in in my community i imagine i don't also i'm just wondering speaking of you know or there's a musical episode i bet you everybody i'm kind of wondering right now was the music put on the beginning of the episode i need to explain something and this is so out of order because

there's gonna be like four episodes oh yeah but who knows how many times you missed putting the music on those ones okay that's a good point this the the halloween episode was a special case it was carelessness because i did add the music to the halloween episode i swear on my fucking life i added well you didn't everybody heard there was no music i downloaded the audio from stream yard and called it halloween guys and then i did the mix where i put the music into it and i call that halloween guys done so i put halloween guys instead of halloween guys done i upload it so i did do it yeah but yeah okay but it is anyways it's a couple of times now that it's happened uh so yeah we're just hopeful that brian could get it in there it is you know sometimes i

know that type of stuff can be tough so let's hey let's give no let's get honestly the way i'm thinking about it right now let's give him a round of applause for all the times he did put the music in because the majority of the times he did put it in and we got some applause from our guest as well. You want to introduce our guest? Our guest this week is Gavin Matt, not a chomper. What's up, Gavin? Oh, man. I wish. Okay. The chomping is bad.

Probably. Yeah. Most of the stuff he says about me at the beginning is usually bad. Gavin. Hey, this is I'm excited to have gavin on gavin is my uh he's my good friend so it's nice to just have a chance to kind of hang out and and chat and brian's here as well i thought i was your good friend too well you are all right we're kind of like different different eras of friends maybe probably yeah yeah he's my he's one of my vancouver

friends of course he now lives in new york city um he's he's a stand- Vancouver friends Of course, he now lives in New York City He's a stand-up comedian I don't think I've mentioned on the podcast But I've done stand-up as well Gavin Okay, I don't want to diminish The open mic stand-up that you did But it is like

But I also, you know Toured the country Okay, now he's like doing a thing with his shoulders as he's saying that uh no no brian you're obviously a performer but i'm only saying that to say gavin continued to do stand-up at a much higher level i mean he's got a a special out on youtube that came out on all things comedy um and that's why he's on you He's on classic celebrity plug style. He's going to be dropping hints to it the whole time. I just know it.

So I'm just heading it off. Yeah. Hopefully by the time this comes out, it has some views. Yeah. Well, let me start out real quick with just something I wanted to do. Okay. Okay. What's going what are we doing here so this song right here i don't know what it's actually called but this is from dick's picks volume two this is dark star which i think is the same as the grateful dead in columbus ohio just doing the thing i wouldn't but what do you

mean that's the same as that so dark star is that like a different name for them it's a different configuration i can't really figure that out because i didn't google it at all um but dark star orchestra is still around i guess i don't know i can't figure out any of these bands every guy in these bands has six bands okay so so the so i see there one it's one of these sort of like you know that happens a lot in music in certain genres definitely where it's like okay you know i'm with in a band with that guy and we're in a band and then we have a side project there's two of us and then of course in these jam ads there's like a hundred fucking there's so many members so it's like that makes sense that they would have a lot of different offshoots and stark star is a song by the

grateful dead okay so you you've totally you've you've gone in you've done an information flub right off the office off the start but that's okay um it is confusing and confusing, and I have to give you a break. Why did you want to play that, though? Oh, jeez. Like, when does it start? When does the song start? Like, when do they stop just noodling around and they get into the fucking song?

I listened to this yesterday, and I think it was around like nine minutes it's crazy i was listening to this thing and i was like this is the craziest thing you could ever and i'm not like a short i i mean most of the music i like is like very short songs like i like a lot of garage rock and stuff like that but i also like the mars volta and they have a 33 minute song that i like like you'll listen to a song for a long time if you like it yeah like i guess i'm i've definitely will listen to long long songs you know i i can get into that but i think saying that most of the songs you like

are shorts i mean most songs are short yeah yeah well no but short short i like songs that are like two minutes that's i like to listen to like a two and a half minute song like 20 times yeah that's awesome that's a really cool way to do it honestly and it's kind of i guess similar to what they're doing in a way because i think they're really repeating themselves a lot in these sort of songs that go on for 28 minutes so maybe there's some similarities there well this is the yeah this is one song and it's 23 minutes and 14 seconds long and most of it's this it's too long but like so listen you know i like to smoke i like to smoke on it you know eat the take take the stuff or whatever is that you gotta be doing that right if you you can do it sober right is there that's that's it can you turn this off please brian

brian you don't like this no brian so is is there is there a sober that's an interesting thing because to me i just associate this you have to be on drugs to be even listening to this and not wanting to leave the concert you know what i'm saying like i don't have this i i would so i found but by the way guys i found the most psycho place to get reviews now because we do a lot of reviews on this show yeah and at first we're like yelp is a pretty psycho place to do reviews but it's more normal people do it google a lot of psychos do reviews there but on this episode we will be looking at reviews on the ticket master app okay okay so wow and they're reviewing what uh a couple uh the the widespread panic uh i think maybe we got a string cheese incident so what oh they're reviewing the

show the shows yeah yeah they're reviewing the shows on Ticketmaster is strange. Yeah, I would maybe review the Ticketmaster app. Yeah, maybe they should be reviewing the service. The service, perhaps? But I guess those reviews would be really bad because everybody hates Ticketmaster so much. What I want to know

is if anyone's ever been to the Ticketmaster app because they're unsure if they wanted to see a show and then they're like, I saw a good review about it on the Ticketmaster app because they're unsure if they wanted to see a show. I saw a good review about it on the Ticketmaster app. Let me check the TM app on this one before I buy my tickets. When you're buying your tickets, does the review come up when you're buying your tickets?

It's a link. It's like tickets, seating chart, and then reviews. And here's another thing. Like we've seen review sites that have like things that have thousands of reviews. But a lot of those reviews are just somebody hitting the star rating. Yeah. And that's it.

They're not writing. You have to write a review on the Ticketmaster app. So every single review has somebody writing it. They're not writing. You have to write a review on the Ticketmaster app. So every single review has somebody writing it. And it was like finding out that people are using it to review stuff was crazy. How many people are reviewing? Do you have an example? Could you look and see a concert? How many reviews would there be like a significant amount or just a few review the band which is another very weird kind of uh so you don't review a specific show you review the show but you review the show under the band you get what i'm saying so like like you search um i got you you just like, so the string cheese incident, they all know the string cheese incident.

I think like my dad, like went to their show. Like I remember him being into them when I was younger. They had jam. They are a jam band. What? Like that had here reviewed them on the ticket master app. It's a wicked concert.

OLG stage is a new theater in Niagara Falls, Canada. The sound was impeccable. If you like Grateful Dead, Widespread Panic, and Phish, these guys compete. By the way, thinking of it as a competition is pretty wild. They compete. You guys, one day we're going to be the best jam band there ever was one day we're gonna get the gold medal of the jam band olympics yeah like i love the idea of them just like trying like them playing

like competitively like trying to out fucking jam each other you know like they're like like there's like longest jam competition where they're just like playing for hours like and by the way that would go on for so long because i have looked it up the grateful dead will do shows and they will be like seven hours long oh they're so fucking long dude and fish will do like two sets yeah and like the first one's like three hours and then the second one at night is another three and a half hours and it's like how the fuck are you i hate being at a concert after about an hour and a half. I'm like, I just this sucks. I want to go home.

Yeah. Even I've said, yeah, going to see a live show, even of the people you really love and watching it for that long. I really think and I don't want to come back to this, but I think the only way you can sit through a seven hour concert is if you are on a significant amount of drugs. That's what I believe. I think otherwise any person would have to leave. Yeah.

This guy says total jam. String cheese brought it. Just a total three-hour jam at a great venue. Would go back. Got front row with plenty of room. Plenty of room. That's not for the band. Oh, that's not. front row with plenty of room plenty of room for the man oh that's not yeah plenty of room that's a that's kind of a little dig at your boys at the end you don't really need to throw that in there so i did get us like we're gonna this is gonna be a real because

there's a glossary there is just there's so much language here that we're gonna look at all of it that's what i made i made the decision yesterday that uh we we should look at some of the jam band fish related terms and the first one's gonna be uh fish 1.0 2.0 or 3.0 those are just different like iterations of the band those are like different like there's like trey what's his name is always there right honestazio listen i know that name but that's because i listened to that podcast um on with scott ackerman well the name harris whittles these are the names that fans which by the way ph ans obviously you're gonna do they do that with everything oh yeah they do they gave these are the names they give to different eras of fish so 1.0 refers to the start of the band until their first hiatus 2.0 reverts to the post hiatus period in 03 through coventry and 3.0 refers to the current period after the band reformed

My fondest memory and here's a example of the word my fondest memory of a 1.0 show Was outside the pepsi arena when I saw a police horse piss all over some tweaker Who seemed to genuinely delight in his golden showers? It was a simpler time back in the day so that is back in the day but hey simpler times that sounds like good times getting pissed i mean a horse is gonna have a lot in there as well so do you know what i mean like as far as getting pissed on by an animal like that's gonna go that's gonna have a lot of force and it's gonna go on for a long time so i've seen some things those horses can do they're incredible animals oh they're incredible

animals some of the stuff that they could do and i don't even know what you're talking about but i've seen them do some stuff and yeah that is wild some of the things they could do this amazing beast amazing beast but i'm also very beautiful beast as well but i would i would say that again this is pretty good for my you know the that my sort of argument because this person was so high on drugs that they were getting pissed on by a horse and they didn't care well also here's another point chris to to that to what you were saying is we don't even know if that person was actually getting pissed on by a horse because the person leaving the review could have been high. They could have been hallucinating. They were thirsty

and they're seeing a mirage. I love this type of humor. Were they even at the fish show? And it was so long ago because this is a 1.0 show. Oh, shit. That's 1.0 era. That's pre-Covenants or whatever noob is the next one we know what that word means a noob is obviously all of us we're all noobs

right now here's the most important one of all of them okay wook they call uh wook and that is and these are fish fans and like jam band fans saying this okay a dirty smelly sketchy creature whose dreadlocked hair resembles poop and in some cases is poop they may or may not resemble and sound like chewbacca but they will definitely be less reliable the floor was so packed a shirtless wook rubbed up against me and now i need to pour bleach all over my body so in wow that's kind of interesting so the class system in inside of this they goof on the looks like crazy it is like i've like, when we do these, there's out, there's people that are on the outs with the community. There was the inflatables people for Halloween. You know what I mean?

There was the bruisers for the rockabilly. The rockabillies, the bruisers are always causing trouble. I dressed up on Halloween as a bruiser on my stream, actually. I don't know if you saw that, Brian. You don't want to be a bruiser. I mean, you do want to be a bruiser. You don't want to have them at your party. mean, you do want to be a bruiser. You don't want to have them at your party. No, you got to get them out of there.

If you got a bruiser at your party, you're in deep fucking shit. Oh, yeah. Yeah, but the out group here are Wooks, and they are really fucking mean to them. They hate them. Now, here's the fucking thing. like they hate them now here's the fucking thing people like us when you look at pictures of wooks you're like this is what fish fans look like exactly thank you that's exactly what that's yeah that's what i i thought they were all all like that i thought they were so maybe that's why they hate them so much it's because they because you think of a wook and you're like oh that's

the fan so when so the other tells people that they're a fish fan they know that everybody's thinking of them as a wook and they have this real animosity towards them for painting them with that brush that this is really deep shit to be honest i like fish but i'm not a wook and then they would bring a wook up on their phone and show you, this is a Wook. I'm just a normal guy. I'm a normal guy with dreadlocks. My dreadlocks are clean. I have clean dreadlocks.

And you can notice I smell great. And the people are like, well, you don't smell great. And I don't want to be offensive, but if you're listening to fish, that's not really normal to me. Yeah, that's not normal because, well, if you're listening to them just like on a cd or whatever you know like yeah well no we're audiophiles so we listen we listen on cds um but if you're listening at home then yeah it's that's one thing but the people who travel around the country and like dave matthews band too. People do it with that, right? No, Taylor Swift. No, they do, man. I'm telling you, Brian,

Dave Matthews band has a huge following of people that travel around the country and has the same sort of thing. I'm not making that up. I know people who do it and it's like a huge thing like that. But I think that is a strange, I mean, maybe like the nomadic kind of lifestyle. Well, I with a wook wait wait wait wait wait wait what you were friends with the

yeah his name was nate he was cool as fuck man he was like the nicest guy and uh he was my weed dealer for a while you know like two years right like 2010 he becomes my weed dealer he's like the most reliable weed dealer of all time he was just so easy to you could just stop by his house and grab it you didn't have to set an appointment with him or anything and then in 2012 and like october of 2012 he became convinced that the mayan calendar thing fuck was gonna happen damn another another one of our soldiers it's not even his fault they even did a whole movie about it yeah a lot of people got lost to that he was like i gotta live my life to the fullest and

he went and followed bass nectar around the country. I think he's still following bass nectar. That is a name of a, that I have not heard that name in so long. I remember they would play like Shambhala. It's like a festival in, in my gosh, but that, that is full of works. Definitely. But yeah, that, that's, I don't, I didn't think I would ever hear that name again bass nectar so thank you he loves bass nectar he got a job on the light show and like

he didn't have any experience with lights or anything like that it was just like he was around all the time and he had drugs and they're like man yeah light show dude i used to be really into bass nectar and i guess that's around the same time when I was quite into doing drugs as well I've never heard any of those EDM ones the the papadocio your your bass nectars yeah I've never heard that bass nectar was like almost like dubstep was it like dubstep music I don't know it's like it sounds like dubstep it sounds like that dubstep era I think it was I could be wrong. It sounds like dubstep. It sounds like that dubstep era. I think it was. I could be wrong.

Does it sound like this? Oh, fuck, man. Can we go to the next thing? Wait. Every time Brian plays this, he starts noodling out on an air guitar. I hope everybody knows that. Hey, do you know when a jam band is done?

When? The backstage, they put a hamster in a wheel and when the hamster dies, the show's over. That's the only fair way to do it. My attention span cannot handle it at all.

I was walking around listening to this yesterday right i'm like and i'm like no song has happened but i find that i'm not like actually listening i'm just kind of doing whatever i'm doing you know background like we could we could just like continue the podcast and it could be playing in the background it would be like mildly annoying i guess but if it's just in the background we'll turn it down it's turned down way low i think it's totally fine but then to just sit there and listen to it and that's the main thing you're doing i think is it's not as weird it's crazy i've just also i'm like i think the only time i would listen to it in full is if it was playing in an elevator that was stuck yeah yeah that would yeah

you would have to be it would have to be a really strange scenario for me to continue because even yeah i would ask them to turn it off if i had an option at a party and somebody's like we're gonna listen to dick's picks after a while like after a while i think yeah can we just like go next hit next track or whatever like let's hit the next track can we i listen to my jam bands on two three point r speed yeah of course that's oh it's like an audible book like an audio book well the next vocabulary where we got here is chomper. Okay, that's the one that you called. That's what you called me in the beginning. So now this is interesting to find out what it is that you were calling me.

This is someone who talks during songs rather than after they've concluded. Oh, yeah, that is me. I was just being a chomper as well. Yeah, but listen. I think we're all chompers. It's a ridiculous thing to expect people not to talk at a rock i mean there's been shows where i get so into it and it's not the vibes to be talking like i this is an old example but a long time ago i watched an andrew bird show and it was super

super good but it was like a small venue and it was like you know he's playing like violin and it was quiet and he was whistling and it was if you were talking then it would have like but yeah you're at some big fucking show with like he you know that you got you can talk you're at an amphitheater outside there's fucking 12,000 people at it they're like shut up man listen listen to what trey's noodling dude yeah yeah it's not even it's not even there's no words yeah how can you talk during this man that's such a good point they're not singing i mean maybe they sing at some point i know like obviously jerry garcia he sang at some points you know but yeah for the most of it it is background music that you can definitely talk over they play it on sports all the fucking time because if you go through the subreddits of the bands

specifically fish in the grateful dead they'll be like oh they played fish on nfl football tonight you know or like because they just play it because it just all sounds like this. I wonder what NFL fans think of Wooks. Oh, they don't even know. I would love it. I'd love an NFL fan to run into a Wook. That would be incredible. Because they wouldn't like them, right?

Because Wooks would be like hippies, kind of, right? So the old NFL fans would really hate them. Like the old Vietnam kind of guys. The jokes they make about the war. The old Vietnam guys. Yeah, the guys who are still thinking about the Vietnam War and the anti-war protests. I think people think about Vietnam. I think they got more important stuff to worry about.

Yeah, there's other things that happen the next word we got here is custies uh well wait i gotta read the sentence example for chomper this fucking chomper wouldn't shut up during divided sky so i screamed at him thereby becoming the very thing i took umbridge with so uh he recognizes oh with how the hero becomes a villain but oh here from the villain is that a good song as well like like they they specified the song so it's like i guess probably to other you know fish people or whatever they'd be like during that song dude during divided sky you yelled at him that's fine all right divided sky are you kidding me who could talk during that absolute fucking masterpiece it's like when they say that

batman and the joker are two sides of the same coin yes uh they use the word custody the customers who seek out and often overpay for drugs on the lot and the quote is i farted into a balloon and sold it to some custody for ten dollars so i think that's the the they sell whippets on that's like their big thing which i don't i get it like i've done whippets and it's like whatever but like it really makes you tired and like you have to do it almost constantly i saw someone do a whip it and and faint oh yeah that was i mean i've never done a whip at myself i've done some you know this guy was like ever whip it this guy was like yeah she's addicted to the things

have you done it chris have you done a balloon no i haven't that's why yeah i've never i've never done a whip it before it it seems um i have it seems like yeah like they listen there there's a lot of open discussion about the drugs since brian's done by the way brian's done a lot of stuff brian's cool as hell oh fuck yeah you should yeah he's telling a story on Shocktober a little while ago about wrecking a bunch or maybe it was on stream he was a cable guy

like the movie and he wrecked a bunch of the company vans like just like actually wrecked them like drove one into a fucking ditch and shit like that aggressively trying to get fired so that he could get like whatever and never did never ended up i got a raise i was trying to get fired and i high on pills crashing the company car like driving it

around to parties and shit with the company name on it wow that's why those guys are always late yeah i was doing crazy shit in that thing and then like i said i'd been trying to get fired and it was time for my review and they called me in the office i was like they're gonna fucking fire me man they're like uh it's your review we think you're doing a really great job we want to give you the maximum raise which wasn't that much money but it was kind of like wow they're not firing me like i am not getting fired from this place we realized it was because his uh boss was also on pills oh yeah and so he didn't want to like the corporate people to even come at all you know and brian's brian's time of arrival it was uh

there's it was longer than a damn jam band concert. It was kind of like this. Brian's meant to fucking... Oh, fuck. Brian's meant to show up. All of a sudden, he's showing up. God damn it. By the time he's there, I've already watched a whole Phish concert waiting for this guy. Let's take a look at...

Let's take a break from... Oh, thank goodness. ...the vocabulary, and let's take a look at let's let's take a break from uh oh thank goodness the the vocabulary and let's take a look at a fish thing from their uh subreddit where they said just ask my wife which member of the band she would sleep with my wife came with me to the bowl last night she's not a fan but will join me from time to time just to enjoy a night out together and soak in the vibes just to like because it's the only thing i ever do she's like trying to find her way into my life in some way and it's kind of i don't pay

attention to her while we're there yeah entranced with the music but and then i asked her hey which one of these guys would you want to would you want to plow you because i i got my answer but i can't actually say until you let me though until you say yours that's how it goes gonna be our hall pass you know this morning she was talking about how none of them really look like rock stars so i asked if she had to sleep with one of them who would she choose her and her response you mean i have to pick between the one who looks like he does my taxes the guy who got the stick up his butt and doesn't move the one wearing a dress and the crazy redhead i'll take the freaking

lighting guy oh sounds like sounds like you you got yeah you got what's known as a sassy wife sir she's giving you some heavy sass back i like that yeah it seems like she she's not happy no no it doesn't incredibly unhappy in the relationship and she has a lot of um yeah like she feels like she's yeah you guys fellas you know what i hate is when uh you ask uh your partner what their uh hall pass would be and they say somebody from work yeah whoa but we know him yeah that's a different dog replied to this and he said dated a borderline personality wook for a while lots of early red flags not the least of which was her crush on mike i should have known better uh anybody who's into mike is that's big that's big red flags big red if you like mike and it's like wait you can pick from all of them and it's like you go with mike uh yeah you might be a

if uh me thinks you're a look yeah i mean i would say something like better a look than a chomper yeah yeah i would defend myself if I were a Wook, definitely. I mean, how do they do it? Also, I think the Wooks are out there doing a little chotzy, and they're selling the drugs at a higher price to these. To the Custies. The Custies, yeah. And so that's maybe why they're getting the reputation of Wook,

because they're like, I'm always getting. I think the Wooks are the ones purchasing. I think they are also the Custies the custies they don't have any money from from what i guess like one of the things they always oh that's kind of rude to the wooks well when they say like they'll be like a wook is the type of guy who will say oh yeah cigarette and then also can i get a light yeah they don't got no cigarettes and they can't defend themselves well let me follow up oh let me just say if you don't have a cigarette why would you have a lighter that's a good point so that's always getting me mad when someone asks for a cigarette and then and then

you're like uh oh do you also want a light and then they're like no i'm good that always i'm like well why wouldn't why do you have a lighter yeah you're you're counting on this well maddie small said the correct answer is fish which that's fishman uh is the guy's name and he he's the one that wears the dress and they say the next person roasty 79 says easy access and now mr completely no that's true though it's easier access just pull it up and then the genitals are right there but hey a second. There's a guy named Fish in the band? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Fishman.

Is he the main guy? No, Trey's the main guy. That's what I thought. So how come then Fishman got the band named after him? Well, it's F-I-S-H-M-A-N. Still, they can't ignore that. Different word.

He was almost born to be in the van that's like to who they started all together they started all together or was was is he was he in 1.0 2.0 and 3.0 i think so yeah oh brian i can if you guys i wish you could see it. What's different about the 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 is I don't think at any time it's an upgrade. Yeah, it's not like a computer. We need to send them back to the iOS store. It's like the eras of dinosaurs where it's like one doesn't get better than the other. It's just a different era of the so we could talk about the that period of time you know yeah until the asteroid hits

i think that i think oh yeah i got listen we can't make jokes like that so this right here mr completely this is how these guys talk this is my first example of uh how these guys talk and i think you're going to hate it. It's certainly been the most popular answer, Fishman. Traditionally speaking, back into the mists of time, our ancestors, mothers and sisters have been banging Fishman on the after show download tip. Yeah, lovarily into a fifth decade. And did they drop their panties for this hummingbird tornado of rhythmic stimulus what's going on what was where are we at here what what where are we going here this guy's

talking about how people bang fish man but we're like actually or such that even now at least one redditor who reads these words is likely to be a descendant of such an encounter the mysteriously undersized by blow of a maternal decision questionable but unregretted that was just the answer about what i want to listen i listen i think i speak for gavin i can i can see gavin's look on his face he's my friend as i mentioned i think gavin and i both feel the same way. We hate that. I do too. That's how they talk. Like a lot of them talk like that.

Like there are. You think a lot of the people who go to fish concerts also work at the Renaissance Fair? Oh, my God. There was a really funny thing where this woman was said that she was practicing going to a jam band show by staying at a renaissance fair for a weekend. She was like, I would like to go to a festival. So me and my husband went to a renaissance fair for a whole weekend to see how that feels so that we could be ready. We decided to go to the festival. Smart. And I just found that so funny peaceful warrior 75 said my wife when we were dating went to see peaceful warriors are very great probably 2002 or so after it was over she

told me if she ever gets invited onto the tour bus for a night with trey i just need to deal with it lol well thank god it's not mike yeah mike is like mike could get it done easier too easy access but i mean trey would so how is trey like the main front man or whatever and he's not is he that ugly looking because it's like the obvious answer is mike but wouldn't the obvious answer be the front man like the person who's like i don't think they think of music the same way that like people who would say that do though you know they like know every inch of the i used to be like this back when and this is going to sound incredibly stupid nice it's okay i'm kind of like this about a chopin i was kind of like this about like like uh new metal and stuff like that where i'd be like my favorite member of the band is the bass player listen to the bass in this

song and you just sit there and like i turned the up and I was like, you see how he's hitting the bass? Who are you saying that to? My friends. In this scenario, you were saying it to them in a room you guys were listening to and how are they responding? Wait, here's my impression of Brian's friend as a kid because Brian was a lot cooler than his daughter is now.

So this is my impression. Brian's telling me that he's like, see how the guys hit in the base? I'm like, oh, yeah, I can see that. That's awesome. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You think Brian was like the coolest? So even though they didn't hear it. No, I wasn't the coolest guy I hung out with, for sure.

There was a main cool guy. What was his name? You know what? Me and Nate were probably tied wait nate nate like not the wook a different nate oh nate nate non-wook nate okay so non-wook nate was the was like well he was the probably the coolest guy but in a tie with you yeah kind of me and him were like in like as in like most of my other friends like didn't dress very cool. And when you say dress cool, what is it?

You know what I'm fucking wearing? Wearing cool shit. No, but just tell tell Gavin and tell like the listener what you were wearing when you say you're dressing cool. Like like JNCO jeans or like those raver pants that are like the kick wears your kick wears your ufos your stuff like that and then anyway what type of shirts uh like i i remember i had some butthead i remember i had this one well a lot of band shirts for sure for sure and i remember i also had this mecca usa a lot of those shirts okay a lot of fat farm yeah fat farm and jankos that's the look i'm thinking the fat farm janko look and maybe yeah what type of hat jankos are kind of

back you know so i didn't wear hats you were you were no hat you had hair yeah oh no derby no derby hat that did pre derby hat was like 10 years after that. I see. Okay. The derby hat was a really short period of time, and it was regrettable on all sides. You posted it a long time ago on Twitter, and people really thought you looked good. Yeah, but if they saw me walking around the neighborhood in it. You think it was a flattering photo? That photo was a flattering photo that photo was a flattering photo it was just a photo because you're wanting to see a picture of me in a derby

if you were just like if you were working at the gas station that i was going to buy caramelos at and i walked in with a derby you'd be like what was this guy i don't know man i honestly truly think now you could put it on on you'd have to like change your dress a little you'd have to change the way you dress a little bit because it would it would look strange for you to be wearing a derby and then like a band t-shirt that's what I was wearing at that time I see yeah I'd be wearing like a derby and a coheed and cambria t-shirt I see so that is a little bit like what the fuck's up with this guy this guy's kind of a wild card sort of a dude this guy doesn't make sense uh mid city slim uh posted on the fish

subreddit and he said my wife the chomper oh oh no oh no i haven't just stepped away for a second. I wish he heard that. My wife, the chomper. What's a chomper? Gavin just came back here. We just post on the fish Reddit or the fish message board here. It just says, my wife, the chomper.

Yeah. There we were. Well, because she's just trying to talk to you. She's just trying to have a conversation with you about life and something other than the bad fish. Here, I'm going to do this so we can chomp through it.

Alright. My wife, the chomper. There we were this afternoon. Sorry. Sometimes, wife is a chomper. There we were this afternoon. Sorry. Sometimes there's a problem with this. Sometimes the guitar gets really loud. There we go. I think it won't get loud there.

So there we were this afternoon driving to Home Depot to buy some wood, concrete, and hardware to construct a fence for our future chicken coop. Pretty cool. This is all very exciting i thought it would be a nice quiet drive where i could get in my standard next day session and listen to last night's show via sirius xm i mean on paper it's a heater reddit called it the best of the tour instead she proceeded to interrupt nearly every jam with a conversation wait a second wait a second it wasn't even at the show it was in the car on the way to home depot like living your life as a married couple yep i feel like she's perfectly in the right here to to be speaking in the car she's am i the

asshole reddit this is like a reddit am i asshole? And this is like one of those ones where it's like 99% agree that you are the asshole. I mean, it is pretty fucking evil to put this on in the car. It's a re-listen. But they do that. They do that like the day after. They do it the day after. But to be clear, do you think he's listened to it already the night before? No, no.

This is his... Wait, did he say re-listen? I don't think it's... Maybe it's not a re-listen. Next day sesh. This is the next day sesh. The next day sesh. Yeah, next day...

You don't want your wife chomping during that. Well, honestly, find a different scenario than listening to it while you're on the way to Home Depot with her. I used to hate it. My friend had a system in his car with the bass. The loud bass he would play.

This music is so bad. This music is so bad. Your friend had the loud bass? Where did he get his car? West Coast Customs? Sorry, Brian. Sorry. He had kickers in his car. We would go drive

somewhere. We would go to do something. He'd play the music so loud we couldn't talk. He'd drive me fucking crazy. It's like, come on. Are we hanging out? Or are you just listening? Or are you just listening to bass and you want me to be here yeah you want to just show off how like loud your bass is and let me hear it close up yeah i i had i had a friend he's a big fish fan and he took his uh car to west west coast

customs and they put a fish tank in it uh she proceeded to interrupt nearly every jam with conversation, which was relevant and not at all at the same time. I did not. Oh, my God. Can you stop talking for one second? Sorry. All right. We're moving now.

Oh, shit. Was that a D chord? I'm sorry. This is Brian. If you want me to stop interrupting you you have to turn the music off i can't i cannot handle it you can we're six minutes and 23 seconds into the song and they haven't started the song yet as far as i'm concerned somebody's gonna say i didn't pick the good thing i went to the grateful dead subreddit and picked one of shows that guys were saying this is the best show and dick's picks are not they're like

the best of the best because dick picks them you know and this is like the official grateful dead yeah yeah youtube i think that this is coming from but i i will say i used to love a grateful dead song when i was a little kid it was like a really short song um touch of gray yeah that really famous one yeah so skeletons playing on the totally exactly the skeletons playing on the video and like when i was a little kid like nine years old or whatever i was just loved that song i was obsessed with it before before you had uh you knew what taste was yeah i know of course i was yeah like i was a fan of foo fighters and all kind of stuff but that i wouldn't necessarily like now but i think that

song is maybe okay like it's like a little sort of catchy pop song or whatever but it's also it's only two and a half minutes long so it's like i could listen to their songs if they were i could listen to them play music it wouldn't necessarily but it's just that it just keeps going and it never starts or ends and it's just guys standing in the audience and obviously you start to say something they're like shut up chopper shut up chopper you're like you're like you're like asking like like just a question to someone like one thing. It's like total silence and everyone's like, shut up, chopper. See, we've been married 15 years.

I love my wife more today than I ever have. Would it be rude if I asked her to politely while ghost segwayed into Albuquerque or I saw it again started ripping? Yeah. I couldn't bring myself to say anything as i'm not sure of chomper etiquette outside of a live concert i've been able to give her a subtle wink and nod at her at the live fish shows and she gets it so you think it you think it's a satellite or do you think it's like a glare more of a oh yeah it's more of a glare that lasts for a really long time

and has been going on for many years and she like finally sort of started to pick up on the hostility i get it though because i've i've i've you know in my own life and unaware of what a chomper is have like you know chomped somebody out before like i was seeing oppenheimer with uh my girlfriend whoa you chomped someone out at a movie? That's cool. No, Brian's going to respect this because Brian thinks people should be able to use their phones at movies. I've never

said I think they should be able to. I think it's funny when they do and the reason is because it drives people like Chris crazy. Yeah, but I paid my money to go watch this film, Brian. That's what's funny about it. No, no no no i ordered money i pay my taxes brian and you're gonna tell me i can't enjoy a film you're gonna

tell me i can't chomp during a movie oh no i i'm saying i've chomped someone i told i told someone to be quiet oh you're right though in a movie in a movie scenario that's completely different you cannot be talking in a movie that's we've accepted that's completely different, you cannot be talking in a movie. We've accepted that as a society, that you can't talk in a movie. But then after that, I spilled all my candy on the floor. Oh, that's kind of embarrassing. It's kind of like chomping. I mean, that's really embarrassing after you've kind of gone full Karen mode on them. And then all of a sudden, now you spilled your candy.

Now you're kind of the fool that's that's not great and hey it's kind of like the guy in the divided sky you know the same kind of situation yeah i mean tompton and got chomped back again uh see we've been so he goes see we've been married oh okay so he gives her a subtle subtle wink and a nod which i believe is that fast head spin you know what i mean like i'm gonna show you guys oh yeah yeah yeah yeah aggressive like fucking albuquerque you know this you know this noise yeah yeah that's a voice i'm very familiar with as i make it all the time oh my fuck are you fucking kidding me he's like he's like

literally saying stuff under his breath like you've got to be fucking kidding me he's just like so i just love my wife more than i ever have this fucking bitch won't shut up i married a chomper help me i married a chomper yeah reality so i married a chomper so i married a chomper you should not you should have known that honestly that's part of the thing is like if that was such a big part of your life you should have figured out if she was a chomper before you you know said your vows yeah maybe outside of a show well maybe they just like got married quick you know and they they hadn't taken the time to to get to to go to a show together listen i'll tell you what i highly doubt for you i highly doubt that

these jam band fans had an issue letting anything breathe okay i think that these are the type of people who probably had like a seven year romance before especially these uh stinky but in the car on a nice saturday afternoon i'm torn and not sure how i could have handled that situation i did attempt a headbang and hand gesture to the jams but apparently it wasn't convincing enough so now she's talking while he's playing a thing and then he's fucking like kind of like look at me i'm dancing here but he's driving which is super oh no i think is he talking about at the show no he's talking about in the car this is an x-ray session now he's now he's okay now he's doing his next day's sesh and he's driving the car but maybe she's driving

no he's driving and yeah he shouldn't be dancing well because if she was driving she'd get to pick the music that's a good point yeah that is the way it works and that's fair he was driving, she'd get to pick the music. That's a good point. Yeah, that is the way it works. And that's fair. He's driving and she's listening. She's talking through the fucking music. And then he starts to kind of dance to be like, I'm not listening to you. You know, I'm listening to Fishman Jam over here. You know, I'll show you how they dance real quick.

know i'll show you how they dance real quick oh these guys are all bad dancers you should see like i i'm picturing brian on one of these shows and i honestly i don't know i don't mean this in a rude way brian you would i could picture you there i could see you there doing it we are seven minutes into this there is no way i could be into this like this is no i could just see physically see you there with like a shawl on or something like just like having i know that you wouldn't you wouldn't be a drug are you talking about like yeah we're a drug rug yeah yeah yeah but but i could i know that you wouldn't actually be able to enjoy it. Like, you'd have to leave. I would.

I would definitely. Aesthetically, I think you'd fit in. Oh, you shut up. What also makes this decision hard is that this radio gives you a limited window for playback. I can pause, but sometimes it skips ahead as it seems there is only so much of a cash where it maxes out and fast forwards when you eventually get back to the play button alas i missed last night's second set and i'm afraid i'll never get back the experience internet i need your advice what do i do with my out of concert chomper wife not internet how can i find this piece of audio so i can listen to it again like how do i don't yeah not yeah not internet how do i find this piece of audio it's internet how do i don't skip yeah not yeah not internet how do i find this piece of audio

it's internet how do i what's the best way to get rid of a body yeah he's yeah is this guy starting to he's like yeah he's sort of soft pitching the idea of getting rid of his wife like you think i could i could probably get some wooks at a pretty low price to do some work like that just go to nugs.net and it's right there on there that's oh man i should have suggested that yeah they have all the shows man they got them all so is that nugs with a zed n-u-g-z-s.net and then you can go in and you can find all kinds of fucking tunes. There you got your Humphreys McGee. You got your Jerry Garcia, your Fish, your Disco Biscuits.

Brian, I have a question for you. So, string cheese incident. Are there any other jam bands? Do you know of any other famous ones? Let me see here. A dead in Company is one. Goose. Mo.

Mo period. You've seen that, right? No, I don't know any of this. You've never seen Mo period? And Umphrey's McGee? Oh, my Disco Biscuits is one, but I already said that. Acoustic Hookah is one. They play here a lot.

So you could go. Could you go to a jam band show me no i could no no i mean like i could go because they're here all the time string cheese incident plays here like every two months i'm not gonna go though okay so that's that's quite something because brian oftentimes will get into this stuff and he'll like he'll be like oh i'm gonna do that i'm gonna sign up for the chive or i'm you know he signed up for kevin smith's patreon got like a challenge coin from it wait you're holding it you have it yeah why is it always in your hand because it's my challenge coin that's my retirement i'm gonna buy a grateful dead one but they're really expensive folks i'm not making i'm not joking i

i literally brought up his challenge coin and he just moved his hand over and it was in his hand already is kevin smith challenge coin that's the evolution right there my point is grateful dead ones they're nice i mean kevin smith. It's just the fact that you won't even entertain the idea of going to this show just kind of shows how horrible. No, listen to this. Seven minutes, eight seconds. Kevin Smith doesn't like it when... Oh! Oh!

Oh! win oh oh oh seven minutes 26 seconds and we got some words that was exciting oh my gosh you do understand why people i had i had a whole thought but that i blew my mind of course maybe we did maybe that's we did. Maybe that's what it is. Maybe that's what it is. You know, they were, they're waiting for words so long. And then when the words come,

it's like, Oh my God. And the words are singing. It's not that good. The words aren't that good. Words aren't very good, but it doesn't matter. And it sort of makes you appreciate the part without the words as well.

When you're hearing how bad the part is with the words. I see what you're saying there. Yeah. It's kind of cool. It's kind of interesting music. It's kind of like it's all so bad that each bad thing then distracts you and makes you think the thing is good, you know what I'm saying? A little bit better. Does it have a chorus? I just got so excited

when he started singing. It was like, whoa! Oh my god! Yeah, yeah, totally. You didn't even care what it was. It sounds like absolutely... He's singing at the same pace as the guitar. You can't even hear it. The guitar is doing the same thing. the guitar is doing the same thing.

His voice is doing the same thing. I've never heard that. That's an odd way to do it. I want to apologize to anyone who's listening that if they're a Grateful Dead fan, but this is a trash cart. This is really bad to me. Tide Crusher.

Oh, go ahead. This is the most divided we've ever been, I think. Probably if people like Grateful Dead, this is the most divided we've ever been i think probably if people like grateful dead this is the most divisive you could be no i people don't though i don't think do you think we're gonna have to be people that listen though are they gonna get do you think people are gonna get mad at me again i mean i don't know i doubt it they knew we weren't gonna like the music i think everybody knows like the thing about this show is that like when we do an episode the people that are like got like reptile guys were getting a hold of me and being like god man you really got me on that one and it was really great like people like it

when the episode is about them for some reason i don't know yeah i guess so i mean as long as when we're not usually it's all in good fun we're not like there's very few of these people where we're like these people really deserve we're just like i get them i understand them on like a level like of like why you like the music you know it's like you're so scared of like the silent moments in life and like actually thinking about like who you are and like what you've done you know but when the music keeps keeps on going never stops never stops then you have less time to kind of like think when you're banging your head and throwing up rock you went to a concert it was two hours long oh so for

five hours you had to think about life well guess what i went to a seven hour concert instead and i'm feeling good baby and if you're like if there's even a chance that you're going to think about life when the music's playing you know you can just be able to go custody mode and you can just pick up some fucking biscuits around the you know there's all kind of drugs and don't you dare try to ever ask me anything uh about myself when the freaking music is playing oh yeah exactly because that's the other thing it's like that's that's probably why they invented that because people were like hey man i know you're listening to the music but like is everything okay with you and it's like we gotta stop these chompers and like and we degrade people

that we we we we don't like the way they look because in our minds maybe that's how we look to other people so we degrade them so that we so don't even talk to me during my music show. These people are, and I'm no psychiatrist, but these people who listen to The Fish are deeply troubled. Well, Tide Crusher did respond to the Chomper Wife thing and says, I thoroughly enjoy listening to the previous night's show in complete silence that means i wait jesus christ it's so yeah well yeah that's totally in complete silence it's a meditative experience but hey listen if you have the ability to do that you got your

little listening room or whatever you just say you have a thing with your wife you still spend time with her but you're like hey you know instead of going and doing normal stuff i'm gonna do four and a half hours listening to the fish concert honey i gotta go into this small small room and listen to this concert for five hours that they did last night otherwise i'm gonna blow my fucking otherwise it's over for me and then and then you gotta deal with the you know the fallout from that that's not gonna be pleasant so just let me listen to the concert i i think that though honestly if you have a agreement but it's a different thing altogether to be in the car with your wife and just toss it on and then expect her to abide by the rules you've come up with in your head yeah he goes that means i wait for the kiddo to go to bed and the wife to

be occupied by some garbage tv show there you go honestly that works that works i like how he's i like how he's calling her a tv show garbage and he's going and listening to this music it's probably the tv show is probably so much better like so much as like it's so much better art i head to the garage and let it rip This is the only way I get to listen with minimal interruptions. Sure, the wife might still poke her head in, or the kiddo usually needs one more hug before going to sleep, but it's better than trying to listen in the car with the fam. Yeah, this guy's a garage man.

Oh, the rare common sense fish listener. Well, it's still, I can't believe they listen to all of the shows. That's really shocking to me. Yeah, still, I can't believe they listen to all of the shows. That's really shocking to me. Yeah. No, I agree. I don't agree with that. Well, you know, people listen to like a Joe Rogan every week. I know, but there's more than one show per week, isn't there?

Like, I guess, I don't know. It seems so kind of like, how different are the shows? I don't know. I don't know. It seems so kind of like, how different are the shows? I don't know. I don't know. But I can't imagine they're that different from night to night. But neither is Joe Rogan. That is honestly a good point that it is much less psychotic to listen to. I think they're both crazy.

I'm not saying that it's not crazy. No, but it is less weird and it would be more enjoyable to listen to a fish show than listen to a whole episode of joe rogan like three hours 45 minutes with eric weinstein or whatever you know i mean that's going to be a better time listening you're going to get a couple of little melodies in there and the singing's going to start a couple times that'll be exciting you know i think i'm going rogan in this one i'm sorry yeah he has a lot of different kind of guests and they're kind of all

different fields you know no but i'm saying weinstein specific episode i've listened to that over this i'm going to listen to this oh but eric weinstein's got those those skin tags all over his face and everything listen i'm not watching jerry right now yeah if you're just, you don't have to look. Here we go. I thought we were going somewhere. That's the biggest mistake you'll make all day, thinking that you're going somewhere in a Grateful Dead song. The best thing to happen, though, out of the Grateful Dead is the Cherry Garcia ice cream. I do love that quite a bit it's

kind of almost a perfect flavor yeah it's it's kind of overtaken the legacy of the of grateful dead almost like i mean fish food is also good the the fish food ice cream is also good but that one is kind of you know that's like a chocolate yeah it just sounds nasty as well because it's like fish food is nasty you know what i mean so it doesn't like cherry garcia's got it pops the name pops as well let's go to uh ticket master i told you guys we're gonna do some ticket master reviews i looked up widespread panic that's a that's a jam band jam band yeah i have heard of them i've heard of them i thought the tragically hip was one but apparently no that's a jam band? I have heard of them. I thought the Tragically Hip was one, but apparently they're not.

No, that's a good band. Excuse me? I like them too. I'm a big fan. Fuck off. Gord Downie's a Canadian here. Canadian hero. Thank you. I'm glad I have a real fellow Canadian here.

Brian claims to be Canadian, Toronto once, and that just seals it right there. Thinking that Tragically Hip is a jam band is one of the most un-Canadian things I've ever heard in my entire life. As a Canadian, I just want everyone to get the Tragically Hip on the show.

I will say this. I will concede that the name does sound like a jam band name i told you i've seen them but that's why only an ignorant person who doesn't isn't canadian but can i also just say this about the tragically hip it's a lot of guys who also probably don't like their wives they don't really get understand cordiality. Because they play their music at hockey games. I am. I saw them live.

Yes, that's true. Tragically. Listen, but to say that they're in... You saw them live? I saw them. When? Woodstock 99. I was... I got there kind of early for Kid Rock. I was going there to see Kid Rock, but they played before Kid Rock. Did they bury him?

No. Kid Rock really ruled at that time. It's one of the legendary sets of the festival. I mean, the Tragically Hip, there were some situations happening like there were guys waving yeah there were guys waving canadian flags and then guys in america with american flags trying to rip those down and yelling and then they had a canadian national anthem and you're probably you're probably helping the american guys i didn't know i was just sitting by the empty booth throwing bottles at kurt loder and then i was waiting for i was waiting for good rock if only they knew if only they knew what we were going to do them two years later america has no idea about the tragically yeah well they're on snl yeah i know but they never really you know what i mean like people don't understand just how like they are the true canadian i didn't even know they were canadian because they have a song about

new orleans yeah so i was like why the hell is this canadian band singing about new orleans people that that review stuff on ticketmaster and this is Freak No. 23 is his name. He saw them at Austin City Limits live at the Moody Theater. I've been to Austin City Limits in my life. I saw Guns N' Roses there. I saw 21 Savage.

Sick. Lizzo. If I was going to Austin now, I'll tell you what, I would not be going to the City Limits Festival. I would be going one place and one place only, and that is to the Mothership. Everybody knows when you go to Austin, you got to go to the Mothership. I have never been so ripped off than I was by the bar when we performed in in austin it was they wouldn't do that to you at the mothership yeah they would probably i think they do it right there they do

it right would you what would they rip you off with so they were like you have to sell 1500 worth of drinks oh no in order to get paid and we're were like, I mean, that's easy because we had sold the show out. There were a ton of people there. And the show was like our listeners drink a lot or they drank a lot. So we knew we were going to sell them. But they opened the doors at 8 and they said we had to be out of there by 1130. So we did not sell $1,500 worth worth of booze and we ended up paying them 800 to perform at their venue do you want to met who are these people

the red door oh tell me tell me off give me the name of those people who did that to you it was crazy i was so mad texas bars are insanely evil well listen you deal with a guy that i know he runs a comedy club called the comedy mothership his name is joe rogan and he will do you well by me trust me let's look at this widespread panic uh review he goes widespread panic mind to melt i went to the tuesday and wednesday show but I really wanted more. But alas, I could not because life got in the way. The band was playing at a high level. My brain melted as we had a two for Tuesday freak show. And Wednesday brought Motorhead cover and sizzled my brain ending with Tom Petty cover.

The band was on fire. This guy took so many drugs. was on fire this guy took so many drugs like just fried up and his brain being all like melded two for four two for yeah two for tuesday wednesday went heavy with the motorhead cover like two for four two for he this guy's working around uh he's doing about a 12. yeah this guy this guy is really this is the this is a common like jam band fan though they do go to like they'll do all the shows it is wild i'll never have fans i think and i even got a special out oh yeah oh gavin an hour or something and forgot that he was gonna be peppering that in i youtube yeah i mean i think like um let me look here this is another one here good band three stars this is a three star review chris and you know we don't do a lot

of good reviews and usually they would do one stars and a three star and a three star for us is pretty fucking that's the perfect score for the guy's scale because we only believe in three stars we only believe in three star system gavin we'd like you to push this out if you could in new york city i know there's a lot of people in new york city we we should be running on a three star system one is bad two is pretty good three is really good it's just simple as that and we need to get it uniformed otherwise all of these star systems none of it means anything because we're all operating on different systems and yeah and people can't handle five people can't handle five stars that's too many just keep it simple a five star i i always find that people people do a four and a half sometimes it's like no we don't

even know what that is yeah it's like it's really good but you don't like to give it five it seems like it's like a personal opinion then exactly and what if i have no problem giving out fives and then i give it out but we both thought it was the same you know what i mean it's just it's it's not even valid any of those stars they're meaning i mean what is the three out of five you know what three out of five is like i liked it but it's it's okay no for me it was like three out of five it's not that good yeah it was like i got pretty nice but i'm so nice yeah like i kind of don't like this see that's what i mean we're totally coming at it from different places i got to the show and they did this all night little bass wow you hear how he's hitting that bass yeah we're getting a little bass now

is he done singing he's right he's on vocal rest i need to see it here when he starts singing again at the very least you think they do another seven minutes it feels like that's what they're gonna do it doesn't feel like there's gonna be more singing it feels like this is like the beginning you know how people describe soccer as chris calls it footy how they're like you know it's such a release when they get a goal yeah i felt that when he started singing like i felt that kind of like i've been nothing's happening no it's a similar type thing as as footy because oh jesus because yeah it's like oh the reason you get so

excited is because it's so infrequent that somebody scores. And so it's a special feeling. You might not get to experience it again in the game, and you have to appreciate it. So that's like regular music is like basketball. It's just like people are singing the whole time. Right in the beginning, everybody's singing, singing, singing, singing, singing. It's like not even special. But in this, you don't know if you're going to get any singing. So you got to really – like we hated that singing, singing, singing, singing. It's not even special, but in this, you don't know if you're going to get any singing,

so you got to really... We hated that singing, but fuck, man, don't we miss it now? I miss it so much. I miss the singing. I wish someone would sing. What does the drummer even do? The drummer's in... He's gone to the back to get something to eat.

He's getting something to eat. He's getting food. I i mean if you're playing that long you do need time to grab a bite yeah they take all kinds of breaks you know let's say they have so many members yeah they have nine drummers they sub in it's like tag wrestling yeah that is back when i went to woodstock i i for the first time in my life was when this is the time i saw whoops because they all kind of went there right and i'm walking in and there's these people selling these paper plates full of beans and rice out of like a crock pot that they have plugged into a generator in their van sick and they're selling it for like two bucks and and nobody's fucking buying it nobody like me

was buying it there were like a few guys with dreadlocks are like oh man beans and rice like works you mean what yeah yeah it sounds like uh you you didn't go to woodstock you went to yeah it sounds like well i mean there was probably a lot of looks oh there were there were we're 11 minutes in and he just stopped singing yeah his singing days are over this is the craziest thing i've ever this is the can you turn it up like a really loud volume like not really loud but you know what the fuck is this? We're speeding up now.

Brian, what is this? Dark Star Live in Columbus, Ohio, October 31st, 1971 from Dick's Picks Volume 2. I can see that the part coming up is where the most listens are. Oh, is that it? Yeah, we're coming up to that point. Everybody fast forwards to this part coming up? Yeah. So this is what everyone's...

So listen, folks, we're about to hit it now. I'll read a review while we're listening. This is what the whole episode's been building to. I'll chomp while we're listening. Three stars, music lover. He goes, good band, but audio and video incompatible. I'll chomp while we're listening. reflection however made the performance irrelevant it's a good band i've heard the recordings this cacophony of ear splitting noise was too much for us though five stars for band one star for sound and distracting lighting sounds like someone got a little too old for the rock music sounds like old grandpa's ears can't handle it anymore let Let me give you a quick review. I'm going to do three stars

for a cacophony of sounds that I'm hearing right now. I love the acoustics in the venue. Oh, yeah. So bad. Wait, wait. Are we at the place yet? Let's see.

Oh, we're in it. Most played. This is most played. Most played is at... Where does it say yeah 1301 this is the big part so they replay this part a lot don't they want to get to the end

no I don't think so cause then they just they're going back don't they want to get to the end yeah they skip to the best part even the fans of Grateful Dead are not like there's nobody listening till the end. The end, it just drops.

There is nobody listening at 22 minutes, 44 seconds. Yeah, the retention, the retention of these is... Oh, here it is, though. This is the part everyone's... It's still not it's still not great but this one this part's listenable that's probably why it that's probably why it has the most players i would have made this the only part of the song i wish that jimmy buffett was singing over this yeah yeah This has Buffett vibes. Or Kid Rock. Yeah, Kid Rock. Yeah, Kid Rock today. Yeah. Let's get Kid Rock

singing something off of a great Dick's Picks. No, we'll get him singing the melody, but let's get him to write the lyrics. Oh, my favorite Kid Rock lyric is, Bow took a while to bow to bow. Bow to bow.

Bow bow bow. to bow to bow. Bow to bow. Bow to bow. We were smoking funny things. We were trying different things. No, we were trying different things and we were smoking funny things. Is that picture away? Yeah.

Can you turn this off, please, Brian? Can you turn this off? I think we're done okay let's uh let's uh widespread panic this next one west texas fade away and austin city limit says yeah i mean they're a good band and all if you want your face held it like a piece of toast with baby jesus's face on it uh me thinks i like that. These people. These are the ones we look for on guys. You know, very much.

Am I going to go to the fish concert? Yeah. Me thinks I want my face melted off. Yes. All signs point to yes. It does say face melted like a piece of toast with baby jesus's face on it you don't melt the toast yeah you're not butter you dumbass or the cheese or the you can't melt toast well maybe that's what they're saying though that's how fucking that's how heavy this shit is

a place a piece of face melting butter can go and be itself it's like going to the barbecue cook-off at church face melding fat and soul searching whoa what what what are you thinking you want to go see that it's a it is a five-star review obviously because they melded the shit out of that guy's face yeah i mean listen i i'm i'm not familiar with any of their music. Can you put on something from Wide Scare Panic? Oh, this is a good band. You want to get your face melted? I actually went to one of their concerts, and as you can see, I've had reconstructive surgery.

Yeah, I'll attach photos of my face. It's quite gnarly. This is where we get in trouble trouble because I play a widespread panic song and they're like, you played the goddamn wrong song. Here, we'll play I Walk on Gilded Splinters. Oh. Will we get in trouble for playing this? No, because we're not uploading it to YouTube or anything.

Sick. Uh-oh. With Ian, Ivan Neville. Is that Aaron Neville? uh-oh with ian ivan neville i haven't is that is that guy is that is that aaron neville he's the king of the cream puff war he's the winner of the cream okay there's a lot of lights by the way on this oh yeah this is lighting up man that's face melting really yeah if you got your face too close to one of those hot lights This is some fucking nightmare before Christmas type shit, yeah, this is kind of a haunting Oh, they got it. Oh classic rock guy big white beard long. Oh, look at this

bass player is a big guy Oh oh oh these guys are like old eh these guys are like been around for a long time what's crazy is they can still stand on their own uh two feet after they've been walking on all these gilded splinters i mean this is this the i thought these were like a new band i'm looking to see if Michael Mullen has talked about any of these bands. Let's look at an Umphreys McGee. Two stars.

Underwhelming. This is an Umphreys McGee review for the Savannah Civic Center. This is kind of sad. Venue was fine, but sound was way too low. Could have had a convo at normal conversation level with no issue. Well, don't be a chomper, you know?

Umphreys McGee was boring, slow, and did not give an experience worth canceling three separate times. Every song sounded the same and did not play a single cover or banger to really energize the crowd. I believe a friend next to me said, I didn't pay to see the jam band backstreet boys whoa i imagine that that could if you're in this stuff that would be really insulting if you knew what it meant and i've also noticed that uh the fans they they love uh

when they do a cover of someone else's song i know yeah that's one of their favorite things it's like how about you do one of the ones you didn't come up with how about you actually do one of those songs that's uh good the good ones the ones that's been known to be good and popular that really gets it for me it's like you just did all your bad songs it wasn't that fun it's like running down a dream no not. You didn't even do bad songs. You just did your songs. We want to hear the Beatles. The Beatles.

We want to hear the Beatles. Yeah, we want to hear Rolling Stones, of course. Here's a five star. I think you're going to really like this. Umphreys McGee is a progressive story that phased from the art of jam through experimental brilliance to their own brand of fusion extraordinaire. Their book of music is unique and powerfully entertaining i bought a seasoned pit session drummer to the show who said it was the best concert he's ever seen holy fuck yeah so he brought a seasoned pit drummer

session drummer um i don't know what the best that's one of the best shows he'd ever seen so you know that's good yeah the drummers my friend the drummer said this show was really fucking good i yeah i had no idea until my i didn't know if i should have liked it or not at the end i always bring them to the show to tell me whether or not it was good i'm like was that show good and then i asked that my friend the drummer and he's like oh okay uh here's the last review before we get out of here umfrey's mcgee them boys brought the heat and uh this guy's name is bunch of greasy animals and he says our first time seeing the disco biscuits and i dug it by the way disco biscuits will be on guys pleasant eventually for sure what is disco biscuits it's really big

it's umphrey mcgee like the lead singer of disco biscuits umphreys mcgee is a guy but i think this or as a band but i think disco biscuits open for umphreys gotcha gotcha you know it must be hard to get an interview with the jam band you know so many mics well i mean i would also just to catch a time when they're not playing you know what i mean to try to slide in for a question while they're noodling or what like you could probably get the bass player while it's like a drum solo or whatever yeah and they don't really talk much i guess no they're not no not very talkative yeah you let the music speak totally you ask them a question and they just start playing music in response they can let 13 minutes of music play yeah before they get to uh

the thing all right uh this is the last one first time seeing the disco biscuits and i dug it not as much as the guy next to me that guy was on a different planet he was so happy umfries came out and slayed buddy of mine said oh they're basically a bunch of guys up there banging on pots and pans didn't see the pots and pans this time but there was next time okay so his friend was making a joke well yeah but his friend was making a joke and also the guy oh that guy was so happy next to me holy lord i've never seen anybody so happy i couldn't figure it out you know seems like he was extremely high on drugs which i have concluded after listening to all of this brian i've not changed my opinion at all i think the only people who are like going to these shows and sitting through the whole thing are people that are on psychedelic drugs and whatnot yeah and as far as the uh and women who

feel like they're possibly on the brink of divorce oh yeah women are trying to connect with their husbands desperately trying to save the final fabrics of their marriage they're slipping away from them yeah yeah just women who keep talking during the song i think it's crazy yeah the craziest guy was driving in the car but we're driving in the car to home depot women be shopping women be talking during jumping yeah women be chopping concrete during my next day sesh yeah all right well Jam Bands. If you're mad at me, go to Patreon.com slash MurderXBrian, and we'll talk about it on Guys Plus, which is our bonus show where we talk about the guys.

Also, we do Gutfeld sometimes. Yeah, we do Gutshot, where we watch the Gutfield show. That's so good. And he had, yeah, we're going to do one, I think soon, or we've already done one. Probably, probably now for you guys and Gavin,

I just sent him a packet for Gutfield. Did you? Yeah. Yeah. He'd be the funniest guy on there. Nick, Nick, you'd be working with Nick dip and he would be your head writer.

So he'd be submitting jokes to Nick dip. So I don't know if you're familiar with his work, but Gavin, yeah. Where can people find you? working with Nick dip and he would be your head writer. So he'd be submitting jokes to Nick dip. So, uh, I don't know if you're familiar with his work, but Gavin, yeah. Where can people find you? I don't know if we've mentioned it. My handles on the line are like at Gavin mats.

And, and if you go to YouTube and search my name and progression, and I have an hour of comedy out, Gavin put out his comedy special and i was in the audience watching and so i was there at the show you can listen for my laugh see if you can pick it out i was there too brian wasn't there i was there it was good he was he was good he was my favorite brian says brian there and then he just sort of goes no it's good he doesn't even really have that great stuff to say about it and he's lying so he could say whatever you know that's good he doesn't even really have that great stuff to say about it and he's lying so he could say whatever

that's good he could say whatever but he did actually say a nice thing he said it was good I'm fine with it was great it was fantastic Gavin Gavin is I mean he's one of the funniest people that I know check out his special for sure and yeah I went on Ticketmaster and gave it three stars and wrote

a really nice review okay and Brian let me just say I wish I could have a show that sold tickets on Ticketmaster. Me too. Brian. I'm kind of an event-bright boy myself. Brian, I'm trying to do my plugs. Chris also has stuff on the internet.
