On today's part of my take, we have the band OAR. You probably know them. You probably have played beer pong to their tunes.

Starting point is 00:01:38 Okay, let's go. Welcome to Part of My Take, presented by the Cash app. Today is Friday, April 19th, and the NFL schedule has been released. Football is back. It is very back. I was saying earlier today, they need to make that show even longer. I need it to be like four, five, six, a pay-per-view. It is the dumbest thing in the world to go through the schedule and pick wins and losses
Starting point is 00:02:49 knowing that the NFL, first of all, we haven't done the draft, second of all, there's going to be injuries, and third, the most important, the NFL is a week-to-week league. No one fucking knows who's going to be good, who's going to be bad. So to do that experiment, that exercise is so stupid, and with that said, I fucking love it and I love doing the schedule, picking wins and losses over and over and over for every fucking team. Yeah. I have five big part in my takeaways from the schedule release.
Starting point is 00:03:17 You want to hear? Okay. Yeah, I got a few, too. The bucks got fucked. The Tampa Bay fucking years, they are away from home for like two months in a row. They're taking like a semester off. They're going two away games, bi-week, London, two more away games. That's a lot of probation officers that James Winston has to notify.
Starting point is 00:03:39 So let me add to that, 18,000 miles that they have to travel between weeks four and week nine. I also did a little studying of the schedule and the Tampa Bay box have to play four big cats this season. That's the most in the NFL. They have to play the Panthers twice. I think they play the Jaguars and the Lions. How many birds do they have to play?
Starting point is 00:04:02 That's I don't know about the, I don't know about the birds. I got some bird stats for you, but you go on with your second one. I'll throw in, I'll sprinkle in some bird stats. Okay. My second stat that I'm going to take away from this is the NFL was like, oh, you like the Browns? How about you smoke an entire carton of Browns because we're going to give you all the fucking Browns you can handle this year.
Starting point is 00:04:20 And it's going to suck if they, so they have, they have back to back prime time games where it's the Patriots and the Rams. And if they lose both those two games, that can actually be like a killer of your season right there. And those are two hard games to win, to get started with. But the fact that they're in prime time means that losses in those situations will mean a lot more and will be more deflating to the Browns. So be careful what you wished for Cleveland fans because they gave you your prime time
Starting point is 00:04:47 games, but it turns out that they're all against really good teams. Yep. That is very true. The NFL always goes like a little overzealous for one of these teams. I feel like last year we had the Vikings on a bunch of prime time games after they went to the NSE championship game, signed Kirk Cousins. The Browns also shout out Lewis Riddick for picking 16 and 0. That was, it's a bold pick, but for him to pick 16 and 0 on ESPN in front of the nation,
Starting point is 00:05:14 my hat's off to you, man. You are a bold man. Yeah. No, you can't steal a second with your foot on first. I think that was in like rookie of the year, one of those movies, but it remains true to this day. My third is this is the year that the Patriots dynasty is officially over. This is the end.
Starting point is 00:05:30 This is the end. It's got to be the end. This is the end. I can smell it. Okay. So did you see their schedule? It's pretty easy, I believe. Nope.
Starting point is 00:05:39 They have to play 13 and three year. They have to play Josh Allen twice. The NFL fucked him. That's true. Maybe four times if the Jets take Kentucky, Josh Allen. That's true. Uh, speak, speaking of the AFC East, the dolphins have to play their first four games against playoff teams.
Starting point is 00:05:56 I'm going to do a, a pre-related RIP to Fitz magic. I don't even know if Fitz magic is going to get off the ground this year. Fitz magic is good. That's the magic of Fitz magic. You're already counting mouth. This is, you're doing the thing that everybody else does every year. I expected more out of you, big cat. I expected you to know that the second you count Fitz magic out is the second he surprises
Starting point is 00:06:18 you. It's called a neg. It's called a neg. I'm just getting the most Fitz magic out of them. There's no way that they win a game. They're going to go on for damn Fitz magic's dead. Your beard's not even that good, Ryan. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:30 You got your beer gut because you've been drinking too much or you've been eating too much birthday cake, which was, by the way, just as a side, Ryan Fitzpatrick is in a total fuck it. I don't care mode. He's on his like billionth team. He knows that he'll go out there, throw one game, 450 yards in the next game, five interceptions, and nothing tells you that more than him coming to, to OTAs and being like, yeah, I'm pretty fat. I've been eating birthday cake.
Starting point is 00:06:57 Uh huh. And his beard, let me just say the beard is going to look very luscious in that Miami humidity. I haven't even really sat down and thought about that, but I'm going to start doing that periodically until game start. It's just like thinking about how bushy that thing's going to be. Yes. All right.
Starting point is 00:07:13 Number four. Well, real quick, I want to add to your point about birthday cake. It's a miracle that him and Phillip Rivers aren't fat as shit with all the birthday celebrations they have to have. All the Chuck E. Cheese pizza dinners they have to go to for their kids. It's true. That's a good point. Number four is Titans Jags Color Rush, third Thursday.
Starting point is 00:07:32 Right as the leaves are starting to change in nature, we're going to get to see those mustard uniforms, hopefully the Titans like, uh, I don't even know how to describe that. It's like, um, spleen blue on the Titans Jersey. So spleen blue against like baby shit mustard. That's always a real treat to watch. Yes. That's I'm very excited for that game. If they don't give us color rush, we riot.
Starting point is 00:07:54 Absolutely. Um, number five is teams got too cute with their schedule releases online. Oh, embrace debate. I actually thought a few of them were unbelievable. The Panthers by far won it. They just dipped right into that, like 25 to 40 year old nostalgia with all the video games. I liked the Game of Thrones one, someone had to do it.
Starting point is 00:08:16 And I also really, really liked the Cardinals one where they just pretended Josh Rosen wasn't on the team, even though they drafted him 10th overall last year. The only one I kind of liked was, I think it was the chargers that just use like stock video images of all their, but overall the teams got too cute with it. Like whatever happened to just writing your schedule in a brick and throwing it through Peter King's window. Yes. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:38 I listen, I think this, this was the year where it's going to be good next year when they see the reaction that people had to the Panthers and the Falcons and the chargers next year is going to suck. They're going to go way overboard. It's going to be terrible, but this was the last year where we can enjoy it because it kind of snuck up on people like the Panthers did something that was unique, cool and fun. And if there's ever a lesson to be had, it's when you do something unique, cool and fun on the internet, it will get ruined within a matter of hours.
Starting point is 00:09:06 Yeah. No, that's totally fair. I think that there were a couple of decent ones, but yeah, you're absolutely right. It's going to be driven into the ground next year for sure. My sixth and final one I'll add on is the Bears have six prime time games and that scares the fuck out of me. Yeah. That's all I'm going to say.
Starting point is 00:09:23 That's true. That's a lot of time, a lot of time in front of the nation for people to make jokes. And it's like they'll always be in the back of my head, even though the Bears are good. Six prime time games, one of them is Thanksgiving game is way too many. Yeah. And one of them is, what is it? The second Monday night football game is against the Redskins. Third week, third week, three.
Starting point is 00:09:42 Okay. So we're going to have to do a mayor's bet for that one, but take some consolation of the fact that the R words are something like one in 119 in prime time games since 2000. So we have a worse record than the French army. You guys are good. Yes. So moving on from the NFL schedule release, we got a couple of things we got to do before the fire fest.
Starting point is 00:10:02 The first is the Washington capitals losing two to one against the Hurricanes. The series is now two, two has the panic button been taken out and are you hovering your hand over it? No, no, I'm not worried because the series doesn't start until a visiting team wins a game and so far it's just been two at home, two at home. So we got a three game series and people laughed at me. When I made my first prediction, I said caps in two. They said, yo, PFT your maniac.
Starting point is 00:10:31 That's not possible. It's a seven game series. Guess what? It's a three game series now. So it is possible for the caps to win in two games. I'm very, I'm not going to say the W word, but I'm concerned about TJ Oshie because he's going to be out for the rest of the, the series. If not the rest of the Stanley Cup playoffs because of that 30 play, he got driven into
Starting point is 00:10:53 the boards, broke his collarbone, separated his shoulder, something like that. Something stupid like that. And so hopefully that guy, I'm not, I'm not going to say his name. I'm not going to dignify the transgressor mostly because I don't know it, but I'm still not going to say it. But it was a dirty play. It was a bad hit. He should be out.
Starting point is 00:11:10 I have a, I have a Mike Greenberg's dumb rule about that because they only gave the dude a two minute penalty. It should have been five, but in the case of an egregious penalty like that, the, the team that got the penalty committed against them should be allowed to put their enforcer in the penalty box, almost like a reverse seven minutes in heaven type thing. So like you put Tom Wilson in the penalty box with the dude and just let him go to town on it for two minutes. So if you can survive two minutes of getting jumped in by Tom Wilson, then yeah, you served
Starting point is 00:11:38 your time for the penalty. Okay. So I'm happy you brought that up because my question and Hank and I are in Welch West Virginia. We barely have wifi. We have no cell phone reception. So I didn't see the game, but my question is where was Tom Wilson, the dreaded enforcer for the Washington capitals?
Starting point is 00:11:54 Your rule sounds like a great rule, but it also sounds like a little too, too little too late because Tom Wilson wasn't doing his job as the enforcer. If people are taking cheap shots at TJ Yoshi, hmm, does Tom Wilson have to go take a cheap shot at the whole entire NHL like he has been doing for the last five years? Or does it take shots and no, and everyone knows, I think everyone knows the capitals can be had now. That's not true. So what do you want Tom Wilson to like just float inside the blood of everybody else he's
Starting point is 00:12:21 beaten up in the past, like a pre-cog and know when someone's going to take a shot at one of the star players and beat them up ahead of time. Is that what you're saying? Yeah, that's actually fair. That's actually fair. I'll do it perfectly. Listen, I can admit when I've been bested in a debate and I think that you made a really good point there that I can't refute.
Starting point is 00:12:35 So credit. The aura. Yeah. The aura of Tom Wilson should be hovering over everyone. And when they go and try to take a cheap shot at TJ Yoshi, they're like Tom Wilson, little like cartoon bubbles should pop up in their head and he should just be sitting there to Kembe Matumbo fingering and like, don't do that. But guess what?
Starting point is 00:12:53 Tom Wilson has been neutered. He's been unicked. He's like varies little, little Game of Thrones shout out there of the NHL. He doesn't take cheap shots anymore. The capitals are, dare I say it, soft. Do we have to one? No. Do we have to wonder whether or not he's just been out and forced on his own team by Alexander
Starting point is 00:13:12 Vetskin? Oh, okay. Now the enforcer. Well, he's the enforcer of teenage kids. Yeah, exactly. I mean, you need, you're afraid of Cali teens. You would love to hang out with Alexander Vetskin just to beat the shit out of anybody wearing Stoosey.
Starting point is 00:13:27 Anyone with a one in front of their number or their age. Yes, exactly. So I'm not worried. I really am not worried. This is sincere because it's a three game series. Like I said, we got two at the old barn, the Capital One Center, you know, the nice nostalgic place there next to Chinatown. And we also have a Gipper to win one for.
Starting point is 00:13:45 So now we've got a cause to rally around, which is TJ Yoshi. So we're going to be playing with a little, we're going to be skating with a little emotion. That's what's going to happen. And listen, it's the Carolina Hurricanes. The moment is too big for them. This is an experience. The Washington Capitals are storied, winning hockey franchise. Okay.
Starting point is 00:14:06 All we do is win Stanley Cups. I think that we're going to be able to handle a three game series against the Carolina Hurricanes. Okay. All right. You're not worried. Let's talk about, we have talked about the NBA playoffs round one. It feels like everything is just coming to form. We obviously had the roaches of LA Clippers and that's that stock rivers term, not my
Starting point is 00:14:24 term. LA's team, the LA's team had that thrilling win on whatever night it was Monday night. But other than that, it feels like everything is kind of falling into place. Our magic fell to the Raptors. The, the Sixers kind of found their footing. They're up to one, the Celtics are up to oh, so it feels like everything just going as planned. The only thing I want to throw out there, Mike Greenberg's dumb rules.
Starting point is 00:14:49 I think there should be a rule in all of sports. So not even basketball, but in a playoff series, if a team wins by a certain amount and we can figure whatever that amount is, maybe in hockey, it's six goals in a game, maybe in baseball, they 10 run rule them in basketball. If they beat them by 35 plus, the series is automatically over right there. We just fast forward and we save everybody the time. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:16 If you get beat by 35 points, it's just the kill switch. It's the end. And it would make blowouts exciting because teams would be having to try really hard in game one because they're like, we don't want this series to end. And I feel like that would be great for the NBA playoffs because you have games like the boxer killing the pistons. I feel like the Rockets, even though they didn't win by 30 that game, James Harden was on fire.
Starting point is 00:15:38 They dominated the jazz and it's like a lot of these games. We just need to just move on. We need to just get to the good stuff, maybe go nine game series in the next round of the good teams. I like that. Conversely, I would say that if let's say five out of the first six games all end within three points, then it becomes a nine game series. Yep.
Starting point is 00:15:58 Yep. I like that too. So it's over supposed to be like this progressive forward thinking commissioner. And if he wants to really, if he wants this league to take over like he wants it to, like I think he wants it to, uh, he should actually look into giving fans more of the games that they want and less of the games they don't like customers always write Adam. I like that the having it in baseball would be exciting because you basically would get like in, you know, one game you'd have to bring in your game to starter to try to stop
Starting point is 00:16:27 a rally because you're like, we don't want this series to end another just little add on rule. If the takeaway from a game was, uh, someone farting on the on the bench and everyone covering up their nose like it was for the Sixers tonight, you also get eliminated because basically that means you're, you're losing so bad that the camera is just going to show that and that will be the story of the series that they're too concerned. They're more concerned with farts and who smelt it dealt it than the actual game at hand.
Starting point is 00:16:55 You know that Joey Crawford saw that and he was like, fuck, why didn't I ever think about farting on the spurs? Yes. That would have, that would have been an ultimate Crawford move right there. I could have given Tim Duncan pink eye. Yeah. That would be something. Um, Adam Silver, I think he, I wouldn't put it past him to have an option of just like
Starting point is 00:17:13 putting it out on a Twitter poll like, Hey, Hey, Tweeple's, which series would you like to see me extend? Because he is, he is so fucking in love with Twitter. Adam Silver would fuck the Twitter bird. Yes. Yeah. That's not the, that's not the logo anymore. Oh, it isn't.
Starting point is 00:17:29 Jack changed it. Yeah. Because Adam Silver, Adam Silver kidnapped it and he's fucking in his basement right now. I'll say Jack probably changed it cause he was like losing his mind cause he only eats dinner and doesn't eat on the weekends. What is it now? Speaking of firefests, I think it just changed like a blue box.
Starting point is 00:17:44 Okay. So let's go to our firefests of the week. So wait, it just changed to a blue box. Not a much possible. All right. They might have tested it and they didn't. Oh, that's another thing they would definitely do. Just test it out and then be like, everyone riots and they're like, haha, just kidding
Starting point is 00:17:59 guys. It was just a joke. We tested it out with only 7 million people and we found out that no one liked it, literally no one liked it, so we won't roll it out. I love, I love how committed Jack is to ruining Twitter. Yeah. Yeah. Like every decision that he's ever made has actually made it worse.
Starting point is 00:18:19 It's been pretty fun to watch. I'm looking at it right now. It's literally a blue box. It's just a blue box. Instead of Twitter, it says TWTTR. Maybe he just wants people to get really horny and have them think of Viagra. Let's get rid of all the vows. That's his big idea.
Starting point is 00:18:34 He spent seven days tripping on ayahuasca and subsisting on just like nectar and water and his big takeaway from that in Myanmar, wherever the fuck he was, was let's get rid of all the vows and the bird. Yes. All right. Let's do our personal firefests of the week. PFT, why don't you start? Okay.
Starting point is 00:18:52 I actually have a couple of personal firefests here. My first one. What's that? What's that? You're Coachella. You're just doing three weekends. A stressful season for you. You're bouncing around.
Starting point is 00:19:02 Yeah. My firefest has actually turned into your firefest because I have too many of them. Correct. That didn't take long. Okay. My first one is that weed is too good. My first personal firefest is weed. Just pot.
Starting point is 00:19:19 So as I mentioned on Wednesday's show, I'm going to be doing a live stream on Sacramento on Saturday with the Hard Factor Boys from the Cannabis Cup. I think it's like three to four Pacific seven, no wait, it's 730 to 830 PM Eastern. Do the math if you're not in that time zone. I'm still coming down from Hong Kong. But my firefest, that weed is too good. I don't like smoking really good weed. I think really good weed has gotten so good that it sucks.
Starting point is 00:19:49 You're a swag guy. No. You like the ground up shit. No. You like the seeds. I don't like the stem. You like the oregano. No.
Starting point is 00:19:57 I don't want to shake. No. I like nice kind bud. Like a decent KB is what I'm about and I don't like to smoke too much of it. But if you give me something that you've cultivated and you're like, check out the red hairs running through, the red fibers give birth to the orange crystals that you can see. And it's actually like very, it's a segment of an Afghanistan strand. I'm like, no, I don't want to smoke that because I'm going to feel like I'm on the
Starting point is 00:20:20 moon and I don't want to be on the moon. I want to be like in the clouds. Is that too much to ask just for some just normal, decent average weed? You want to smoke and join the mids and then get a headache and then have to fall asleep so the headache goes away. Yeah. You next time I get some. I say this.
Starting point is 00:20:36 Yes. Next time I get some kush, some white rhino, some dank shit, I'm going to make sure that you don't get any of it. Yeah. I'm a pass on that. I'm a preemptive past. Yeah. You're dark.
Starting point is 00:20:46 No. I listen. I don't like getting the headache. I just like average weed. I think that there's a lot of us out there in the silent majority that have gone along with the flow of the cultivation process of weed and the modernization of marijuana and cannabis throughout the last 20 years. I think that we're sick of it.
Starting point is 00:21:08 I think we're just like, hey, I just want to get a little bit baked and watch a movie and not forget what happened three minutes ago in the movie that I'm watching. Maybe you're just smoking wrong. That sounds weird. Maybe it's just all the CBD you're smoking. You're supposed to swallow, right? Yeah, exactly. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:21:24 What's your next one? My next firefest of the week is Cardi B not responding to my tweets. Because it wasn't me that was tweeting her. What do you mean? I mean, she's my girl. So if I had tweeted her, she probably would have responded. I doubt that highly. I gave her a really nice compliment yesterday, said that I wanted her to kill me in a really
Starting point is 00:21:43 funny way. She didn't respond to it, and I've been torn up about it all day basically. So it's a firefest. I can relate to you on this firefest because we made this choice kind of at the same time to stay unverified. And while it's cool to be the bad boys of Twitter, sometimes when you want to like tweet at someone and you know that they check their verified mentions, it kind of hurts that you don't like it.
Starting point is 00:22:07 That's what I'm saying. Cardi B would definitely respond to me if I wanted to. If I wanted to, I don't want to, but if I wanted to. I mean, I literally gave away my blue check mark. I said, take it back Twitter, and they did. Yeah. Yeah. You know what?
Starting point is 00:22:19 I'll hit her up for you. I think no. No. You don't need to do that. Yeah, I got you. I got you, bro. I got you. I'll be your wingman for you.
Starting point is 00:22:27 All right. Is that it? Or you got another one? I had a couple more, but you guys can just go ahead. All right. Hank, you go. Well, my personal firefest, well, I got a few as well. The first one last week that I couldn't say was the Game of Thrones thing, and we went
Starting point is 00:22:41 over that. Yeah. I forgot what I was going to say. Okay. So this is being, this is now the worst segment we've ever done. Hank, Hank, maybe switch to Meds, bro. Yeah. I'll pick up here and I'll go with Jason Locke, Conforia or whatever the fuck his name
Starting point is 00:22:59 is saying that Jeff Fisher was going to be the Houston XFL coach. And then Jeff Fisher going on Twitter using an emoji. Very cool by Jeff and saying there's absolutely no truth to it. So I had about three hours today where I thought Jeff Fisher got a job. Because everyone knows I have been, uh, diligently going after, uh, Jeff Fisher's next coaching job, trying to get him a job anywhere. So I thought it was mission accomplished. I was big George, George W. Bush with the big mission to accomplish.
Starting point is 00:23:29 I had my thumb up and I was like, we did it guys. We got them. And then of course that turns out to be not true. So that was my firefest. Yeah. I think this was a big stab in the back to the city of Houston for, for making a move to Nashville a long time ago. I think Jeff, Jeff Fisher is, he knows.
Starting point is 00:23:45 How to play the game. He's a very politically savvy dude. He's basically like, what's his name, uh, the dude in, in, um, not Game of Thrones, uh, House of Cards, the guy that got canceled, Kevin Spacey, Jeff Fisher is the Francis Underwood of football. And he's been waiting, he's been just the guy that got canceled. We don't even know. Was he ever in a movie?
Starting point is 00:24:11 He's been waiting for the last three years to fucking stick it to somebody. And Houston was, was the unlucky recipient of Jeff Fisher's wrath. Yes. All right. My last firefest is quick. I've been on the road a lot. Do you know what's the worst is having to take a shit in a toilet and you don't know the flush levels, having to take that chance where you're like, this, is it a low flush?
Starting point is 00:24:33 Is it high flush? Is it a, you know, two white flush toilet? You never know, you know, like the, the rhythm of your own personal toilet. You know exactly what you can do, what you can't do. It's like a very, uh, deep relationship that you have with your toilet to go somewhere else and try to figure it out. It's fucking terrible. It's like, it's like basically if you were married for 50 years and then you got to go
Starting point is 00:24:54 on a first date, a blind date, you're like, what, how do, what do I do here? Yeah. I always play the game where like I'll flush way too early on a new toilet just to make sure I can get the first part out, the second part out. Like I'll flush three times on a toilet if I'm not playing a home game. And it's just for that reason that you mentioned, like in, in a hotel room, water conservation doesn't matter. I'm hitting the, the, if it's, if I have the option to do the number one or number
Starting point is 00:25:19 two flush after IP, I'm doing the number two flush. I'm flushing everything down. I'm leaving the shower on for like hours at a time. I'm forgetting that I turned the water on hot and forgot and, and stepped out of the bathroom for a while. I've been playing all sorts of games with their water bill there. It's actually just a backwards way. And I think Hank was about to say, but when we were in Minneapolis, I had to ask the front
Starting point is 00:25:40 desk for a plunger three separate times. Did they just say keep it this time? They should have, I tipped the, the one time it was the, the room service was coming to make up the room and I just handed her $20 and I was like, I didn't even explain it. I was just like, Oh, my room's ready to be made up. And I was like, here, can I tip you? And I was like halfway through my stay. I wasn't even leaving.
Starting point is 00:26:02 And then she went and found it and it was like, all right, now you know what the $20 were for. Not worth it. Yeah. Asking the front desk for a plunger. That's got to be a pretty power move. Oh, you feel good about yourself when you did it? No, it's like a dog with his tail between his legs.
Starting point is 00:26:15 You're just like, Hey, you like kind of look around, make sure no one's seeing you like, yeah, plunger to room 220, please. And then you just walk away. And did you have to walk back downstairs with that plunger and hand it back to people? No, no, I, no, they send it up. They have someone go do it. He brings up on like a room service cart with a platter over it. The Saran wraps over and he takes it off.
Starting point is 00:26:36 He's like, here's your plunger, sir. Uh, what'd you have Hank? I was going to say, I remember my personal firefress was having to go to the bathroom after you before we recorded this podcast. Well, that's your own fault. I told you that I was going in there. Poop show. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:49 We're on the road. Life on the road. All right. Yeah. Let's, should we do our interview? Yeah, let's do it. All right. So we have a OAR band that's been around forever.
Starting point is 00:26:58 You've probably heard of them. We asked them all the dumb questions that you've always wanted to ask a band who's had the highest of highs. I don't even think they've had a low. Uh, they've sold out Madison Square Garden everywhere, played everywhere.

Okay, we now welcome on very special guests. They are a little different than our usual guests. It is two members of the band OAR.
Starting point is 00:30:01 I'm going to start with a play a little game. Why don't you guys pronounce your last names for us? Hello there. So smart. I'm Mark Roberge. Roberge. So I was thinking, I didn't know how to spell strategy. Are you just Jerry De Piso?
Starting point is 00:30:15 You nailed it. Fuck yes. Nice job. Who's like, yeah, I box. No shit, dude. Do you also coach football? No, no football coach. So two guys from OAR, thank you very much for coming in.
Starting point is 00:30:28 Thank you. Like I said, a little different than our usual interviews, but we wanted to talk to you guys. You guys have been part of a band doing music for what? 20 plus years now? It's insane. 20 plus, man. We started at the eighth grade talent show.
Starting point is 00:30:42 Hell yeah. That's crazy. And that was it. Did you guys win? It was early. No winners. It was fuck. No, you need, okay.
Starting point is 00:30:51 So a little tip. A little tip. You got to say you lost. Little Michael Jordan didn't make his varsity two times. All right. So yeah, we lost to this other band that never made it. Yep. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:31:00 That's actually true. You didn't win, right? Yeah, that's true. I'm not lying. But I like that we lost to another band and didn't make it. Right. Do you remember what song you played? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:10 We played Porch by Pearl Jam. Oh, hell yeah. Nice. And a rock version of Wonderful the Night by Eric Clapton. There you go. Like sped up a little bit. Exactly. That's very sexual for eighth graders.
Starting point is 00:31:19 Yeah. And I forgot the words in the middle of it and started talking about how she's so drunk and I got to drive and all that. I'd never been drunk or driven. I lost my eighth grade talent show too. We played Smells Like Teen Spirit. My singer forgot the words. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:35 Never forgotten it. Yeah. I was wearing plaid shorts, combat boots. I was like, I was all in, man. I wanted to be Ed Vedder. That's what I wanted to be. Yeah. So 20 plus years and you guys are still doing it and you're still together, which is insane
Starting point is 00:31:49 because I feel like that never happens in music and rock and roll and bands. How the hell do you guys do it? Like how do you stay together? How have you guys not killed each other at this point? Not killing each other. That's tough. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:04 Honestly, it's, we just try to talk stuff out. We don't keep it inside. We just talk to each other about things and work it out. And you know, it's a fairly simple thing to do, but you know, it works. Who do you hate the most? Like, it's clear, like I'm kind of joking, but like, there's a pecking order. Yeah. Right?
Starting point is 00:32:26 Let's break it down. Let's get weird. He hates me the most. At times. Yeah. Yeah. And that keeps it moving forward. Advice versa.
Starting point is 00:32:34 Right. So you use that heat and move it forward. Oh, so you guys are the tension guys. No, no. I think, look, what it is is sometimes you just, we all remind each other like, hey, hey, you remember all the, all we do is make songs, right? Right. And then no matter what you're bitching about, crying about whatever, like, oh, yeah, fuck
Starting point is 00:32:49 it. Yeah, that's right. So when we do this shit together, we just make songs and that's what we do and drive around in buses and planes and shit. That takes away any bullshit really quickly. So if someone's giving you the business, you know, you can eventually get to the point where like, aren't you happy to be here? Right.
Starting point is 00:33:05 We're in a band. Yeah. We could be working like jobs that we hate. At the end of the day, you guys have had a pretty successful career for a long time. That kills it. In an awesome, awesome profession. Also, you guys don't live in the same city as each other. That's like, you know, a marriage having separate beds.
Starting point is 00:33:18 I guess it could be good, right? It's like a marriage having separate apartments. Yeah. There you go. Right. And it works out famously. Like we each have our own thing. Each got studios.
Starting point is 00:33:27 Each got all that stuff going on. So when you want to work, you can work. When you want to, you're in town, you want to stop by and have dinner. You stop by and have dinner. I mean, everyone's gotten to the point now where we, it's just like a mutual respect thing at all times. The second, if that ever slips, that's when you give them the old, hey, aren't you happy that we're doing this thing?
Starting point is 00:33:44 Right. So it's kind of a simple formula at this point. I mean, we made complications out of it maybe a decade ago and realized that it's just not worth it, man. Was there ever a moment along these years from 1996 till today, 2019, where it was like this might like be the end of it? I think you come across that, you know, there's a lot of times like that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:05 To be honest with you, because it's hard. Right. This stuff is tough, you know? I mean, through it and I think we just keep moving forward and keep grinding and we work it out. Yeah. Get it done. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:18 What's the songwriting process like for you guys being in different cities? Are you guys the two primary songwriters in the band? We've had moments where every single person in the band has offered something like Ben John Bates could play one little lick like this song we have laid down and then a song is born with just one little thing. So everyone has that potential to bring it to the table. Right now it's working out where one of us or one of the boys will start an idea and then everyone takes it on their own and eventually you're coming back with like your best shit.
Starting point is 00:34:45 It's that self-filter that before years ago you're in the studio like, what about this idea? What about this? And every stupid idea you have you put out into the group. Now we all know when you got something good, bring it. Yeah. And it doesn't get rejected because it's good. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:01 Do you guys struggle with, I guess after 20 years, you guys write some really, really catchy songs. Do you struggle with coming up with an idea and saying, hey, this chord progression might be too simple. Or like we've used this one before and you try to change it around a little bit. Maybe it might not work and you're like, do we go back to the simple way or do we change it up with something a little more exotic? Yeah, you know exotic.
Starting point is 00:35:23 Great. All I'm saying is 20 years worth of songwriting. At some point you've got to be like, I can go back to the world real easy. I know what chord progression sounds good and what melody sounds good. Right, right, right. We never do that. I never kind of go backwards. I barely listen to stuff at the second it comes out and I'm kind of like, all right,
Starting point is 00:35:39 what's next? And that's not because I don't love it. It's just because I'm driven by walking out in the streets and something hits me. I know you can relate to that where you're just walking down the street and a song comes and I just hear it in my head and I can immediately put it down. I don't sit there and go, I got to write a hit song today. I've never sat and said I want to write a hit and had a hit. It's always been seeing some dude drive away from his house real fast, going home and writing
Starting point is 00:36:08 down how many times can I break to a shatter because it just comes. It's the weirdest thing. I honestly don't know where it comes from and I just, I've learned how to harness those ideas, throw them to him and he'll come back with like a horn section that he just fucking came up with out of nowhere. So it's that mutual respect thing. It's like knowing if something is good or not. As you guys definitely know when something's good or it's fucking, this is not going well.
Starting point is 00:36:31 So to dumb it down, who's John and who's Paul? Oh, wow. It's good Chris. I don't know if there is a John and a Paul. I mean you're- Actually just tell us who Ringo is. Yeah, Ringo. Yeah, Ringo.
Starting point is 00:36:42 That's funny. Yeah, the one, the weird song he played on every album. Are you Ringo? Shit. I probably am Ringo. Yeah, if you don't know, then you're the Ringo, right? Fuck. I'm like looking around like, oh, damn it.
Starting point is 00:36:53 That's me. Has there ever been a song where you're like, this is a fucking hit and then it just hasn't turned into a hit? Yes, yes. We had this song called Peace that came out a couple years ago. And I'm watching it climb the charts on radio. It's on TV. It's doing all these things.
Starting point is 00:37:07 Theme song and everything. And then you get a phone call from the label and they're like, yeah, it's done. And it's like number 15 on the chart. And they're like, well, it went backwards two weeks in a row and you'll see in a couple weeks it'll be gone. And you're thinking like, fuck, this is going pretty well. Sure shit, man. It's just how it goes.
Starting point is 00:37:27 In this, there's no apology, no one gives a shit about you or your feelings when your songs are on the charts. When they, they're dead, they're dead. And you just got to swallow your pride and move on. If you're going to dwell on it, you're in the wrong business. One thing I love to talk about successful people and people who've been doing in their profession for a long time is their made it moment. And I think a lot of times, like people ask us that a lot of times and we're like, actually
Starting point is 00:37:53 there's a bunch of them. There's a bunch of small ones. So do you guys have a few made it moments where you're like, oh shit, this is it, only to then have it be, you know, five years later, like, oh wait, no, this is it. It's a great question. Thank you. Awesome. Still waiting for that moment.
Starting point is 00:38:08 That's a good answer. Honestly. It might be right now. Yeah. Right here right now. But like you guys, it's a lot of little moments and things along the way. OAR has just steadily built, climbed, grind, got it done and you know, there's been some great highlights like the first time we played the garden, the thing that made that great.
Starting point is 00:38:27 One sold it out and it's fantastic. We didn't really think we were on that trajectory quite yet. But all of our friends, all of our family, everybody who helped us along the way, get to that point, came to the show. How many times you played the garden? Three. That was very smart by you to say the first time we played the garden. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:46 Yeah. I was like, these guys are fucking crazy. They've been in the million times. At what point did they start like putting your jersey up in the rafters like Billy Joel and the number one? So I got a funny ass story about that. I go to the garden all the time. I'm a big Rangers fan.
Starting point is 00:38:57 I love to hang out in that building. So you've been in the Mecca. The Mecca. You left the capital behind. I've abandoned the capitals, but I was a season ticket holder for the capitals, so I'm a real fan and yeah, I think I've abandoned them a little bit probably, yeah, but I love the garden. So this is how it goes.
Starting point is 00:39:13 It's tough. It's tough. And so my story was the first one was when I saw the sold out sign on Madison Square Garden, I thought I've made it and then your brain starts to creep in and go like, oh, that means we sold out. Oh shit. That means this. And then you start, you don't appreciate stuff.
Starting point is 00:39:31 So then we went into the bowels of it and next to our dressing room, the second time we played, had a picture of us on the wall, like next to Jay-Z, next to this guy, next to this person. I'm like, we fucking made it. Holy shit. I'm on the wall. The third time I go back in, the picture's gone. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:47 And it's like, dude, no matter what you do, three steps forward, two steps back, you just got to keep rolling. That's great. Yeah. I mean, that's a perfect way to put it too, because it's like, every time you feel like you made it, there's something that will humble you. Yeah. Someone's going to knock your knee out.
Starting point is 00:40:01 Yeah. Yeah. Do you guys support Urban Meyer? Both Ohio State guys. Loaded question. I think. Yeah. I think.
Starting point is 00:40:10 That's a good point, but I really enjoyed the Urban Years. No, you don't have to actually answer that. He's like the mayor of Columbus in terms of. I'm sorry. That was mean of me. No, are you guys, the real question is, are you guys still like big Buckeye fans? Yeah. Yeah, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:40:26 Yeah. Absolutely. I live in Columbus. Yeah. So, you know, it's really live, you know, live, sleep, breathe, Buckeyes. Yeah. It's great for the community. Everyone loves it.
Starting point is 00:40:35 Do you think he'll coach again? I mean, he does the fake, you know, help thing. I think he'll coach again, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah Notre Dame Notre Dame or USC. I'm sure he's got a they'll pay him a ton of dough to go somewhere I'm sure he's got a couple circles Yeah, he's gonna spend like six months pretending He likes doing the TV thing and then be like actually I hate being a person I want to just get back to being a coach where I don't have to have emotions
Starting point is 00:40:54 You got anger. I mean you guys own own Michigan now. I was that we were at the game this year. That was a fucking gas game It's awesome. Yeah, I love that. I love that rivalry because we we play these events You know and and you play around the stadium during that weekend and at Ohio State We're driving through our own crowd and they're launching full beer cans at our bus Launching full beer cans at our entire stage. I'm getting hit with you. I'm like I go to school You know, I went to school here. Yeah, they don't give a shit. Yeah, it's like it's the couches are on fire Every 500 feet. I love how state goes hard. They go hard man goes real hard I want to go back real quick. So when I first heard of you guys
Starting point is 00:41:36 I'm probably like a lot of kids out there first sort of you guys when I got to college So you guys were able to achieve a levels of success without really much radio support, right? Yeah, how did that happen because I feel like most bands they like if they're mega bands They go the traditional way, you know, they come up on the on the radio. Yeah, you know, I think we got pretty lucky with the file sharing Napster. Oh Did you label your songs like hey, this is crazy even poker by sublime and get a lot of we didn't label anything other people did We had one out there called gin and juice that wasn't even us, right? And we were labeled on it and it spread like crazy our shit spread so fast
Starting point is 00:42:16 We just knew as a business-minded folks like we got to follow this up And we created a system where we would go to the largest amount of downloads and large and we would fucking go there and Put on shows. Yeah, and they were getting bigger and bigger and it was every major college in America So I think what it was was just like look we're gonna get in the bus and go and that's the difference I think that's what really made it's like you could sit back and watch the success and all these things And be like wow, this is really but we just got in a bus and went. What's the one venue? You want to play the haven't played yet? I Appreciate it Roman Coliseum
Starting point is 00:43:00 The first time we played there Alpine Valley 13 times that's been our number Alpine was great tornado tops tornado came through Alpine when we were playing there with Dave Matthews Ben and Why would happen? It's the Steve Ray Vaughn crash Thanks, bro I see the that are the the buddy, Holly one. Yeah I don't I don't take Sometimes interesting once in a blue moon
Starting point is 00:43:32 Is there a difference in the altitude? Yeah, hell yeah, yeah, yeah, Red Rocks dude. We got oxygen tanks behind the stage You play your songs like a little bit faster because of the no cuz you get it I mean look you get a little fucked up at Red Rocks But if you listen to the tapes at the end of every single show, I'm like saying like that I mean cuz you have one or two drinks and it goes a long way Yeah, we like to have a couple cocktails during the show So when you're at altitude you don't realize that that's that's where it goes. Yeah, and it's pretty fun
Starting point is 00:44:00 Okay, so I had some like dumb questions that I've always wanted to ask a band Okay, so you can just stop me if they're really dumb Shitting on the tour bus never never okay good because we don't do we do tour we do buses around and we have the same Never never never okay, so it's good that you I thought maybe you had like a nicer boss where we can do it But you still don't yeah, right. Yeah, right real quick follow up to that now Have you never done it or did you learn that rule by necessity? One of our crew guys did it once I got in the middle of the fucking Golden Gate Bridge, right? You remember that? Oh, yeah, Nick Nicky. Yeah, so Nicky did had to go couldn't wait bagged it
Starting point is 00:44:36 Okay, we pull into the Warfield in San Francisco, which if you haven't been there It's really like where the alleyway is really rough. Yeah, I mean just really rough in there He gets off the bus. He puts the bag down on the street as he's getting his stuff Guy comes up running grabs the bag takes off running down the street Hotels do you guys get like sweets and stuff? How does that work? So normally would say you get 20 rooms for you and the crew and everybody They'll give you a couple one or two sweets and earlier in our career that we didn't know that as a band because we were so young but our tour manager knew that and
Starting point is 00:45:20 Tours would go by and I'm always like why is my room the shittiest room he was in this building and he was getting sweet Would you get like full floors of hotels sometimes ever like ride a dirt bike up and down or anything? I Know but it was recommended to me, and I've heard it talked about a lot. I'm gonna check it up machine gun Kelly's in that Yeah, you probably watch it because you probably feel like less of a man or inspired Like we grew up respect is all respect respect respect anything But maybe for future interviews we trashed ourselves stories trashed ourselves and that Disrespect that ourselves, but never a hotel. What about a pre-show prayer any like pump up
Starting point is 00:46:16 What what's it look like in the green room before you go on? We huddle up. Yeah. Yeah, we take a moment. Okay. We huddle up usually mark leads it, okay? Usually it's a Remember, you know, we're in a band. We're having you know, I mean we play songs, right? Let's go Rodies involved in that huddle up or just sometimes and Rodie's is You guys you guys sound like the most chill band of all time. It's pretty chill I mean, we'd we'd like to keep things pretty level. Hey, you know, yeah What do you do on the bus like video games chill? No video games anymore a lot of a lot of hanging a lot of
Starting point is 00:47:06 Fucking around just talking shit. I mean just it's like this Yeah, we've done big bus trips. It gets kind of monotonous after a while. Yeah, most of the time We're driving at night So you finish the gig you got out you hang a little bit fall asleep. You wake up. You're there you get off the bus You go do stuff. Okay. Have you ever forgotten what city you're in while you're on the mic? Yeah, Sioux City and Sioux Falls. I was like a Sioux City and fucking everybody was like you're in Sioux Falls Close yeah, y'all take it easy They were they were a little pissy about that. Honestly after thousands of shows you've only done that one one time
Starting point is 00:47:46 Yeah, yeah, do you have it like on your set list written down where you are? No, just all upstairs It's just gotta be the upstairs. I can't read shit. I'm up there if you write something down I'm I'm gonna look at it and I'm not gonna read it right and I'm everyone's gonna tell I just I can't have any So how do you remember all the words? I don't I so in and we have a teleprompter once in a blue moon for like a cover song And if I'm reading it, I'll just fuck up even more. So I make up words a lot of our songs are made up words I mean have crazy game of poker our biggest song. I made up in the studio that day. Yeah, it's like I say Oh, what do you say? I say, oh, you say it. Okay, so so yes, so that started with I say of you say, ah, hey
Starting point is 00:48:29 I say revolution was our name is of a revolution. Yep. You say ja I lived in Israel. I was in high school. I'm in the Mediterranean. I'm like hanging on like yeah And then I get home and I'm like that's not really kind of the life I live right so like I had to keep saying it forever and everyone else says die and I'm like that's cool, too So I honestly let them say whatever they want to say. I kind of am a little bit ambiguous about how I say it Yeah, so no one really knows what I'm saying now. They do. Yeah. Yeah, that's cool That's also another very chill thing. You just like the audience is chilling with you while they sing along Yeah, again, you can't you know, I sing the lyrics to the songs, but they're they're interpret a
Starting point is 00:49:09 Interpreted interpreted differently night by night if I'm feeling in a certain way I'll sing up a different person's song and I'll sing a Marley song where it's supposed to be our song It's just whatever look you're like a master's ceremony. He's like a you're like a pitcher in a game Mm-hmm. You got to keep that shit going. You got a long game. It's it's not about each moment It's you know, it's a long game songs are like Wikipedia pages So you're just always are being edited always being edited and not always by me You hear somebody else sing the song like a little bit different than you like I'm gonna steal that guy's Idea for my song. We've had guys come out like Talib Kweli came out one time and was rapping
Starting point is 00:49:45 I picked up some things that he was doing. I'm like, yeah, I think I'll take that. That's good. Yeah Yeah, so you learn. All right last dumb question about being in a band. Do you still get the Butterflies nervousness as you walk out and maybe kind of explain what it feels like to be in front of a ton of people because that's something that you know 99.9% of the world PFT is in a band. So he knows what it feels like. Yeah, I've performed a couple songs I can just explain if you don't want What does that feel like do you still get it or has it become a little jade? That's a great question, Jerry I Get jittery for TV. Yeah, or at least used to just having a camera in my face
Starting point is 00:50:21 I'm just not very comfortable with that being on stage doesn't bother me one bit. Huh never has Yeah, I'm the same exact way stage is my I'm feel like I'm in control of my whole life for those couple hours That's I know what I'm doing TV can get a little weird. I mean the first time we were on Conan or whatever Letterman I was thinking about that yesterday. Holy shit. I remember Right up until the point that they're like and here's OAR and I closed my eyes And I sang the whole song with my eyes closed and open them up after That's like a huge no-no like a huge no-no, but I couldn't help it
Starting point is 00:50:58 I could not open and I've never had stage fright, but he's different man when you see Conan Kind of staring at you like and he's a player. He's a guitar player. He's looking at you. You're like judging And there's another like the camera getting in your face You have to think at some point like there are a lot of people watching me perform this right now And it's those are two very different things I think is to perform for a camera and to perform for an audience cameras fuck it all up for me, man PFC, you know like when you're out there playing in front of thousands of people you can only Actually, it was
Starting point is 00:51:29 1700 so not quite thousand so you only see the first three rows anyway. Yeah, that's true. That's very good point That's a great point. What's on your rider? So we've paired it down over the years. I mean right now. It's got a little bit of whiskey and a little bit of water and Shit ton of angry orchard fucking beer. Oh, we got one. Yeah, one of our dudes loves the fucking angry orchard ciders What about what about candy? Yeah, we used to go we went through the candy phase, but now I think we're phasing that out And we which we're really trying to not have too much option too many options. Uh-huh. That's probably smart
Starting point is 00:52:07 Yeah, because once you're up late and you got a good buzz on it. I mean it's going down Right. Whatever's there. So ice cream is a problem. Yeah, there's a lot of ice cream Do you put the random thing on the rider to make sure they're paying attention? Like that whole no, but I like that. That's a true story. Who is that? M&M's There's a lot of that going on for us our riders so paired down at this point We just realized at one point you pay for that shit. We used to order Yeah, that's a good
Starting point is 00:52:37 Our rider we used to be like six packs of Marlboro lights right this is years ago when everyone smoked and was like This this and at the end of the day we realized we're spending on a tour hundreds of thousands of dollars on this shit So now we're just like literally water whiskey Chips Thankfully we missed that whole fucking thing. I'm like I look at this shit like what are you doing? But hey, what about when you guys perform? Can you do you elevate your music based on how the crowd is feeling that night?
Starting point is 00:53:08 Because I always like to if you go to a concert be like, you know, we brought it and we brought it out of them 1,000 what are my fans control you one of my favorite parts of an OAR show is that we will take all this time Pain's taking time to write out a set list and the third song and it goes to hell. Really? Yeah, we never I Don't even think we've ever played a set list start to finish from what's been written down ahead of time And so we call it, you know, he calls audible as he feels the vibe But what's going on in the crowd and he'll either call it or you know look to his left or right and I'll Speak into the microphone tell the boys what's going on next what tune and stuff, but yeah, we're in the moment Read in the audience seeing what's going on and trying to deliver the best show
Starting point is 00:53:50 Because we got like this internal mic system too, which is fun because if you're in a big vent You know so on stage you these random microphones everywhere And if you go up to one of them you step on a button you talking to it You're communicating with all the band guys, maybe some crew Maybe security a few people here and there so you could be like you know you check out the shit that's going on in the road Six right and someone's doing something over there, you know, so there's a lot of that going on doing the show keeps it fun We're always talking shit the whole time. It's right. Yeah What about if a if somebody in the audience yells a suggestion for what song to play next you guys ever take that?
Starting point is 00:54:24 So I got a thing with that my my thing is like if you say it Once and I hear you and I say something like yeah, maybe we'll do that or I just acknowledge it like don't fucking yell at every single song because I I Get you paid money for the ticket and that's cool But like when you yell at 12 times then it's it's just yeah, and that happens all the time Microphones everywhere. I hear everything that's going on out there. We have microphones lined up We hear everything you don't have to yell at a bunch But the people who are doing it the right kind of way
Starting point is 00:54:55 I'm like yeah, we'll do we'll do that because like they'll say it in a certain fun way like my my friend turns turn 25 can you do something like that? I'm definitely down. I'm definitely down, but it's like the The drunkest dude in the room has got a yell for free bird. Yep. Yeah, 50 times. I'm like, that's the job Yeah, that's his he's free bird. Yeah, or dude and he wasn't there like he might go on tour in a bus Right that every fucking Yeah, he probably follows you guys around. Yeah Yeah, I hear that guy off to like the second you step on stage that guy's gonna All right, so listen Mark heard you anyone who's listening to this don't ask twice
Starting point is 00:55:31 What's do you guys have rugs on the on the? What's with that? Yeah, the rugs does it sound? some vibe Yeah, and yeah, and I was assumed to a sound that I didn't understand it sound it soaks up sound Okay, stuff like that vibe is a better answer You know you can have you know, we've played on you know like a wooden stage sounds great, too It's a total different type of sound from the stage
Starting point is 00:55:56 But we take a carpet with us that you roll out right across the deck and we put all our stuff on top of that My favorite thing is is every day when you see the crew vacuuming the rug They roll it out and they vacuum it and I don't know why that makes me. I love it. Yeah, we're about to wash your hands I heard that Tom Morello before he plays guitar. He's a ritual that he does to be like, okay Now it's time to sit down and work on my craft. He washes his hands like very thoroughly It's like the same thing if you go out there on a dirty carpet every night You're gonna start like taking shortcuts yourself. Yeah, I bust listerine like right before the show I don't know why but I like I have to like have a whole thing with hands
Starting point is 00:56:34 Take a leak call home Listerine like it's like you're getting ready for bed. You call home before every show. Yeah, that's a two absolutely hundred percent I think that's too much That is I'm telling you I've got a good question here, how many games of beer pong do you think have been one to your music? Oh? Great question and a great video idea. Yeah For like old classic footage of people. I don't even know that's a really good. We may be the goats of that Yeah, I think so. Yes, I can't think of a band. I mean, maybe Dave Matthews
Starting point is 00:57:11 Yeah, there's maybe sublime. Yeah, maybe but that's about it company. Yeah, you guys really the Mount Rushmore beer pong I would say probably like I would say five to seven million. Yeah back in the napkin Love that. I'd love to find out some sort of Statue on where you know where we land in the history of like beer Bongs yeah, we just stuff like people getting fucked up and having fun like cuz that's look we came into this thing I we grew up in Maryland in Virginia. Dave Matthews was popping off and we knew it We could we knew it was going on over there and we thought like they're doing that in Virginia We can do that in Maryland
Starting point is 00:57:50 We used to go to their concerts as a group and get fucked up and have a great time with our friends and all that shit That ensues from there and I said, I just want to I want to be I want to provide that I want people to come to our shows and Party and have fun and if they want to take something serious from the lyric and stuff that comes from here That's great, right and that's that's really what we're shooting for but in the end like let's have fun So we always really wanted that so the fact that we actually Achieve that and bars closed down across America to the song crazy game poker like in our in our time That meant a lot to us. We felt like okay, you know, it's not
Starting point is 00:58:27 Shallow, it's just like it's cultural. It's cool. We want people to fucking let loose and have a great time, right? Right. All right. I had one last question Speaking of songs. Have you guys ever thought of just doing the general by dispatch and just like stealing it from them Cuz I mean, yeah, it's a great song that might proceed. Oh, hey, if we get that That fight going. Yeah, maybe that's what we'll kick it off So before we started taping we were discussing rough and routed the guys are big fans of Ruffin Routy And we were thinking of a way to incorporate OAR into the next event and having them fight against dispatch for the song Yeah, those are the stakes. Yes, I love that
Starting point is 00:59:12 So it started because Jerry's a boxer and and we were we were when the mighty album comes out tomorrow We were talking about Why the title and what promotions we could do we said Ruffin Routy's almost perfect to have band dudes beat the shit out of each Other because who doesn't want to see skinny band dudes? Pummel each other and they all think they can fight, you know, well young sound you can fight Yeah, he can fight you can fight you can fight football coaches factories Fighters young stout. Yeah, that's it. That's right. Be replaced a great lot of yeah I had one last question here. Who's the goat band? Oh of all time
Starting point is 00:59:44 Goat band. Yeah. Yeah Beatles was Apple. Yeah, I would say now a great debate writers. I would say Beatles because you can't touch it Band band like get up there and kick ass on a stage. It's Led Zeppelin. It's not even close Yeah, do you ever think it's like unfair because they got to it first? No, they're the great Yeah, but like they also had a lot more to work with Or a lot less they really didn't have much. I mean they had like the insurance fucking bottom Yeah, I guess I mean it's they invented Yeah, I know but they had genre music right because it hadn't been invented yet, right?
Starting point is 01:00:18 Which is pretty difficult. I mean, I've seen sparks like one night in Atlanta, you know Foo Fighters is playing in a torrential fucking rainstorm lightning flight. They don't give a shit and they play and they go hard Mm-hmm. I'm like, that's the greatest band in America tonight You know, I see this happening over the course of the years and I've seen amazing bands But Zeppelin, I mean, so have you ever been the greatest band in America in this we say this all the time We would yeah we're like we played Boston last year and we thought it was a perfect game we pitched a perfect game we walk off and we're like We're the best band in America and then that's not because we think we're a best band in America
Starting point is 01:00:52 It's because you just feel like I just pitched a really good game. Yeah, so you do feel that sometimes but in reality We're just fans of other bands. We're just we could never even it's like you don't say you're better than your favorite band You love your favorite band, right? You know, it's totally a different dynamic than sports and sports It's like you always have a winner always have a loser. Yeah in music It's like hey anybody can be great on any given night if you feel like you did a great job You probably did and there's a reason why we all love sports and and athlete professional athletes I'm always drawn to hanging out and talking shit with them because I think the grind to get there is very similar So like for a hockey player for instance
Starting point is 01:01:33 Hockey to me is like the greatest sport of all time. Okay, it's the greatest arena sport easily of all time So the grind to get there is so similar to what you've got to do to get into a career mode band You can't just show up and have 10,000 tickets sold. You got to go and play Bumfuck Johnsonville 50,000 times, you know what I'm saying? So it's like I love sports Because of the grind. I love rock and roll because of the grind, you know I just like anything where someone earns it. I love that this podcasting. I was just gonna say and I knew you were gonna say that I was killing Kevin last night. I saw those guys last night. I'm 20 questions on them about do you realize what's happening here? What's bubbling here like y'all know, but you don't know because you're putting in this is your 10,000 hours, right?
Starting point is 01:02:21 But it's been a decade. Yeah, it's not you know. Yeah, you're just getting started, but man, I'll tell you I appreciate the grind so Well, that's why we relate to I love sports for that. Okay, so let's finish with this Browns record. I assume you're a Browns fan Yeah, Browns record 2019. It's we had David and Joku in here yesterday or two days ago Like 10 years combined if we have it's funny we were like proud. We know you You can say we thank you Browse like celebrating in the streets this year. Yeah, like the real winner of the Super Bowl was the Browse this year Right, we had the free beer right is to yeah, but not like goose you guys a little bit It's amazing. Yeah, and then and then to get Odell is just like I
Starting point is 01:03:11 Looked at my phone. I'm like, that's not even real. Yeah Did you see the video of the kid who got who got the cops called on him because he was screaming so loud in the streets? I don't know Odell. Yeah, no way like if the neighbor was like there's something going on in the street It's like no, they just traded for Odell. It's crazy, man. And now all of a sudden they got a lineup I don't know. We'll see what happens 12 is 12 is a lot. No, there's a lot. Are you a Redskins fan? Yeah, I mean I grew up going to Redskins games my earliest memory I know is it is Redskins Cowboys RFK stadium, you know, I'm saying so stands bouncing out there I was just gonna say you could feel it moving and that was the heyday. I loved it
Starting point is 01:03:43 But I've recently been to some games where I'm I'm just not I mean, I'm not there's no feel There's no there's no soul. Yeah, is that we said yeah, no soul and I hate to say I went to a Ravens game Where we played on the field? It was awesome. Yeah, great ownership great. Everyone was cool as hell to us I'm not dogging the skins. I'm just saying like The ownership there's fucked so No one feels like a part of anything you're going somewhere spending all your money and you're a million miles away from the field. I Just don't know so right now. I'm a fan of football and I'm so desperately seeking I've also been to Minnesota and the Vikings organization is great. Yeah, nice stadium
Starting point is 01:04:25 You know digs went to Maryland and also his brother went to my high school So there's a lot of love from like for him Yeah, and wanting him to do great things and they they were talking about bringing them to Washington for five seconds But that's never gonna happen. Well, good news. I'm gonna own the Redskins one day. So great When I buy the team come back. We need you. I mean, there's a reason that guy's a wall around his house You know, I mean because people just aren't well, and he's rich All right, so album out when March 29th. Oh March 29. Yeah, and album Ninth album, he knows the stats nine out ninth ninth studio album. Yeah, ninth studio album

That's such a smart way to do things It's like hey, we're gonna play a kick-ass show tonight and then boom. That's also an album Is it we got so fucking lucky with that? We did live from Madison Square Garden live on Red Rocks 34th and 8th DC DC New York 34th and 8th So we got lucky with the locations the night everything and it turned into our first one We're an independent label when we started we became one of the biggest independent labels in the country and It was because of a live album that we recorded in DC, right?
Starting point is 01:05:47 It went gold and a live album going gold is not easy to do That's at all. So that put us on the map. So live albums. We basically owe so much to Period, you know, it's like people actually give a shit to buy a live album. I can't believe it. It's awesome. Yeah, that's awesome Yeah, all right. Thank you guys.

Yeah, just survive great questions I actually never knew why yeah, I would have a rug. Yeah, we'd bring a rug into the studio You were doing it for the vibe.

I did but you're gonna have to go to buy R&R comm to find out how okay? Let's get to some segments first up. We have a PR 101 for Gronk. Yeah, let's just hit another home run by the way I don't fuck fuck you Christian Yelich fuck you you are such a fuck. This is your fuck This was sucks so bad is yesterday. He didn't hit a home run. I'm like oh Christian Yelich sucks now because he didn't hit a home run in one game Fuck you Christian Yelich. I'm putting my my microphone down for one second to tweet. Oh fuck you Christian Yelich Okay, I'll cover for you because I used to like Christian Yelich like I thought he did a good job when he's a part of my take He was a nice guy. He was you know very fun to talk to gave us good answers had a very enlightening conversation
Starting point is 01:10:38 And I thought we were friends and this is not how friends treat each other He's basically saying that he wants you to get like pink eye Hepatitis whatever else you can get from another man's butt. He's trying to kill you That's how we had we should interpret this as Christian Yelich trying to kill big cat via my asshole And you because you also have to do it and also the crow's butt. So I added enough already To the tweet, but it was just so fuck you Christian Yelich enough already. We are gonna have Christian Yelich I think in studio next week, so we'll have to hash it out then wait It's also when PFT we're gonna put some steroids into his drink. Okay, good. Yeah, hopefully doesn't listen to this
Starting point is 01:11:16 Did you say that I have to eat your butt too? Yeah We said we have to eat each other's asses and you never put up a you never said like hey, no not me Sounds like I'm getting tossed in the jackpot. Well. Yeah, my ass is getting tossed into the jackpot by you producer Hank It's true. It's true I said we'll eat each other's asses and you didn't say hey, wait a second. I'm not gonna eat big cats ass Not up to me. I'm just going based off your guys Crows butthole. No, uh, we are cats. We will eat each other's asses and you never said anything You never you never said like oh, no, I don't want to do that
Starting point is 01:11:48 It just kept on going the conversation kept on going so it was a verbal agreement. We will be eating each other's asses All right, let's do some second. I said I would rim the shit out of the crow All right, you are 101 for Gronk Gronk has Hilarious video maybe the most Gronk video I've ever watched He's holding the Lombardi trophy before they go out onto the field at Fenway Park opening day and Julian Edelman throws him a pitch and Everyone the video is like basically everyone's like we never thought Gronk would actually take a swing
Starting point is 01:12:18 He bunts tries to bunt the baseball with the Lombardi trophy and puts a huge Huge dent into it and just laughs only like Gronk and laugh and honestly now that I'm just saying this out loud The PR 101 is do nothing because that's the most Gronk story of all time. It is that's actually how Gronk autographs things Is he just slightly damages them? That's it. Don't give you don't give a baby to Gronk to sign right because it ain't coming back, right? I think that what the Patriots should have done is they just should have given him a fake Lombardi and been like hey Gronk here's the real Lombardi. It's actually just chocolate covered in tin foil that looks like the Lombardi trophy You can't give
Starting point is 01:12:58 You can't give Gronk an actual Expensive piece of jewelry or anything that sparkly because he's either gonna spike it or he's gonna hit it against something Right, but spins on that piece of jewelry now is even more valuable because Gronk has a huge dent in it And it's a hilarious story. Yeah, all right Tell you what just give just drill a hole in the middle of it and give it to Gronk and say hey This is a straw and then Gronk just gets to go around for the rest of his life Drinking giant beers through the Lombardi trophy. Yeah, all right We're gonna give this one another try the first time we tried it not so great this time
Starting point is 01:13:35 I think it's gonna be great. It's real men a genius for Blake Griffin. Here we go Are you take the little bars? Yeah, no, no, I I do that you do the talking in the middle I start the singing okay, and then I and then I copy your your whatever you say, okay? All right, we you can tell we really plan this all right Real man of genius Today we salute you Blake Griffin. Mr.. Two technical foul getters in playoff games that you're not even in Mr.. Two technical fouls at your playoff games that you're not even in real man
Starting point is 01:14:09 Oh, you're not supposed to say that what I can add live. It's a fucking remix dude. Oh, it's not a real man You're supposed to go like Those fouls were bad ass. Oh, yeah. Yeah, okay. All right real man a genius Today we salute you Blake Griffin Mr.. Two technical fouls getter in games you weren't even playing in in the playoffs Blake your knee feels good in the morning sometimes, but then it starts acting up at night You got to sit out, but that doesn't shut your mouth Mr.. You got to sit out, but it doesn't shut your mouth real man a genius
Starting point is 01:14:46 Credit to you. Mr.. Real man of genius Blake Griffin for finding a way to ensure you won't get dunked on by Giannis Fuck we need Blake Griffin in these playoffs. I wish he was playing It would he would not let the bar the pistons lose the way they've been losing correct correct There's no chance this would not be a skunk rule series if Blake was playing no he basically carried the pistons to the playoffs It sucks that he can't play in the playoffs. Hopefully his knee gets better and get bit out there Oh, yeah, we'll get it next time Also make sure to add in the music because if you know, it's gonna sound even worse than it actually was It's not I don't think any music can save that but we'll give it a try
Starting point is 01:15:25 All right wrapping up before we get to FAQs. We have Saber metrics ESPN so PFT What happened with ESPN schedule prognosticators? So they they Looked at the schedule for the 2019 NFL season and they made their picks for every single team And it turns out the league is going to finish 64 games over 500 next year Because every single team was projected to like if you're a bad team Basically that the basement for you was gonna be seven and nine So every team finishes between seven and nine and like 14 and two With the exception the Miami Dolphins their beat writer
Starting point is 01:16:01 They were the only team where their beat writer picked them to To finish with fewer wins than Las Vegas had at the overunder so I think Vegas It's like five or five and a half something like that And I think the Dolphins beat reporters said that they're gonna win four games next year Which as we addressed he's not taking into account Fitz magic. Yeah It's also just a classic move to just say every team's gonna be a little bit better So that all the fans are like, oh, look at them They the Browns were picked by 16 and oh by Lewis Riddick. Yeah
Starting point is 01:16:31 It's also a major way for all the beat writers to get their fans or to get the fans of the team to like them a little bit More because by the end of every single NFL season the fans hate the beat writer unless your team finishes like first of the division With a buy in the playoffs if you finish any worse than that They're going to hate the beat writer and say oh you hate the team you're biased that sort of thing So that it's a really good way to like start getting in those good graces a little bit. Also, I'm gonna flag this I'm gonna flag this. Okay The fact that there was only one person that picked their team to finish with a worse record than Vegas That means that we have to take the over for the Dolphins. Yes. That's that's standing out to me right now
Starting point is 01:17:15 Like I don't know what it means. All I know is that the the tallest nail gets the hammer, right? Yep, yep, you're absolutely right. We got a fucking hammer that over Circle gets the square. Yep. Yeah. All right last up before we get to FAQs We had a death in the NHL this past week Here, I'll just read I'll read the statement about the death We don't have any words and we know you don't want to hear them we understand your anger your frustration your sadness Everything you're feeling we get it. This isn't the ending we imagined and certainly not the one we wanted Thank you for being there the entire way. Oh wait. Sorry. That's not a death
Starting point is 01:17:59 that was a Tampa Bay lightnings tweet after they got swept in the first round and Maybe the most melodramatic weirdest tweet of all time That's like a girl like a guy that got caught cheating on his girlfriend. It's insane. I don't know who wrote this I don't know how many people looked at it, but it's laugh out loud funny that they thought hey Here's what will make people happy or at least make people less mad About a team that had a historic regular season then got swept and demolished in the first round of the playoffs the one Verse eight seed let's send out this tweet that makes it sound like someone died Slash you got in a high school breakup. You know what it sounds like it sounds like something that a dude would write
Starting point is 01:18:38 In an email to a girl that is already broken up with him. Yeah, like hey hear me out Yeah, yeah, I just wanted to be really emotional in my response to your breakup and make it seem like maybe it was like Just time for both of us. I know you don't I know you don't want this email from me And and I understand you probably won't read any of it And it really makes no sense for me to send it and you don't want to read it and you're gonna think I'm psycho But please hear me out Can I just say that? Although we are broken up
Starting point is 01:19:07 You are still the love of my life and always will be and I like to think that you feel the same about me Even though you don't me yesterday. I'm rooting for you wherever we land. I just hope you're happy Yeah, but really I've just pissed and Tampa Bay Lightning a little cease and desist because That's actually the bronze move to say we don't have any words and then type a bunch of words. Yeah, that's very good point All right, let's finish up with FAQs Hank. Why don't you start Bubba Bubba? Bubba Calling the righty. Are you guys able to switch from calling each other your real names to your barstool names? Or do you just use big cat and PFT all the time our barstool names?
Starting point is 01:19:48 Do we have barstool names? we Just say big cat and PFT all the time and then sometimes I say Henry for Hank and then PFT tries to say Henry and Hank says Yo, that's creepy. Don't say that. Well, no big hat recent only recently and like in a very condescending way Like I'll come into work. I'm like, oh, hello, Henry And then the other day I came in and PFT like it was like hey Henry. I was like, no No, we can't we can't we can't do this Yeah, because once you let me get away Dan is probably like been around you long off
Starting point is 01:20:19 Yeah, you hear that Dan's been around you long enough where he he probably called you Henry once or twice at the start of your relationship But you can't let me cross that bridge because no, I will just I will abuse it I call Dan Dan when I'm really disappointed him. Yeah, like right now Daniel Damn Daniel back at it again with the white shoes What happened to that kid he died. Oh, he died. That's right. Yeah. Yeah, he was a Tampa Bay Lightning fan fuck Who's the most famous person in your cell phone? Obama You have Obama's phone number. I was told it was Obama's
Starting point is 01:20:56 By this kid. I'm at a bar. I Used to say Jay Cutler for this, but he hasn't responded any of my texts in like six months. So does that still count? Yeah Yeah, absolutely. You the thing is with these quite that's a good question, except you probably know like it's gonna be Jared Goff or Blake Bortles or like Blake Griffin, whoever we have on the show. That's probably the answer, right? Sean McFay here. I got big cats got one of them at the little Gritweek teaser Oh, I'm down during Gritweek. Oh, that's Bruce Arias. Yeah, true. I'm just cycling through Sean Payton Why don't I have all these Coaches in here. Oh nice flex. Oh weird all these NFL coaches. I just wanted to say that
Starting point is 01:21:41 Just gotta purge them real quick. I got too many they're clogging up my memory That's why my phone is slow my computer slow because all these texts. I'm getting from for main dudes All right, Bubba next one. All right. This will be the last one If you could be best friends with one professional athlete at any time, who would it be? Mmm, that is a great question. I'm going to say We'll change John Daly John Daly's a good call. I'm gonna say Keith Hernandez in the 80s Speaks wingman that yeah, I feel like you would look like his cousin
Starting point is 01:22:20 Yeah, but you can't pick like like you wouldn't be able to pick a true Alpha right like you can't pick LeBron James or Michael Jordan or like any of these guys who like being their friend You're probably just their yes, man Like I'm thinking of a guy who will be like, oh, we're best friends Let's go do coke and go to studio 54, right Bubba What was the exact phrasing? If you could be best friends with one professional athlete at any time, who would it be? Aaron Hernandez. Oh That's weird easy. I need to have your back
Starting point is 01:22:54 I mean Gronk Gronk's gotta be up there, too Yeah, Gronk definitely has to be up there, but although he's got his brothers. You never would be really in But all right, let's let's wrap up. Do we want to do game of thrones? Theories pft. I got a couple theories. I want to throw your way Hank and I've been talking out. All right, you ready? Well, yeah, pft. Do you want to do you want to start? Yeah, why don't you yeah? I have a theory that dude that is friends with the the younger girl that they apparently like go way back They both seem like good characters. You're there the guy with a coat the hound and aria. Who's the coat? Yeah, the hound the hound and aria. I think that
Starting point is 01:23:30 Oh, no, are you talking about the coat the coat the main good dude that wears a coat? Is that John snow? Yeah, John snow and aria their brother sister, so we'll probably fuck. Yeah, okay John snow and aria One of those two is gonna kill the other one is gonna have to kill the other one at the end Okay, that's a that's a good theory, but after they fuck they're definitely fucking I Actually think this is one I just got on and it's all I don't read this. I don't read thrones Theories and stuff because I want to have an uncorrupted brain I think the hound is actually the the many face God He's gonna kill aria and then rip his face off and be like ha ha got you bitch. Which one's the hound?
Starting point is 01:24:12 It's the big big one with the fucking burnt face. Why do you think that? Why do I think that what did I say earlier? Because are you left him for dead? Oh, yeah, I left him for dead and then the in the yeah He didn't die, but he did actually die and then they took his face The other one I had was that the end everyone says like oh who's gonna be on the throne What if it's just George R. Martin's wet dream and he wakes up with coming his pants that'd be amazing Yeah, I feel like that was an incredible dream and then yeah, my last theory is Comes up and she's like George we have to change the sheets again, and he lives at home the whole time
Starting point is 01:24:45 Yeah, yeah exactly like come on George. We've been over this you have you have to we got you we got you penthouse for a reason, please The last one I had was that it's actually just gonna be a Super neoliberal Fantasy role play and at the end they're all gonna decide that they should cross the bipartisan line and rule the realm together Oh, I like that like we have more in common than we do different Yeah, and hey if we just talk this out instead of fight we could probably do this together Radical centrism will rule the realm. I like that. Yes. Yes, and they're just gonna be like let's Let's just forget about all the problems that we have yeah polite. Yeah, let me forget that you killed my dad
Starting point is 01:25:26 Let's just forget that and you killed my brother and all this shit Yeah, let's just all kind of get along and we could do this all together the rule of law supersedes the game of thrones Hey, do you have one to finish? I don't I mean minor minor kind of modest. I was thinking more like next episode What's gonna happen? So That's all right I'm just ready for a lot of flashbacks and episode one was like a big mirror of season one episode one and in season six Episode two. It's like when brand first goes and yeah Does the does the flashbacks and the guys like if you go too deep you stay too long you'll get lost forever
Starting point is 01:26:04 So I think that's a little I think that's some foreshadowing sauce for this episode So he's gonna go back do some flashbacks. Maybe it lost in the sauce So what Hank's saying is we're gonna have to see brands fucking stupid white eyeballs a lot this episode What if brand can actually walk and he's been faking it the whole time He's been slow playing it and he's actually secretly been doing like a shitload of squats in his room when everybody's gone So he's actually jacked up from the waist down and he comes in kicks everybody's ass Oh, no, I was just saying he comes and he jumps out of a pool boom Kyler Murray no longer first pick in the draft bread day. Yeah, I like that idea, too
Starting point is 01:26:38 Just stay woke on that you might I wouldn't put it past game of thrones as a person who's watched an episode and a 16 minute recap twice I think that brand could like Consult with some sort of the magic people that they have and get magical use of his legs like for scum Yeah, I like that. All right That's our show Monday we have we taped it this morning. Ike Taylor from the Pittsburgh Steelers two times Super Bowl champion I think I'm gonna throw this out there He is going to be up there for interview of the year because it was fucking hilarious. Yeah, that's gonna come Monday
