The best. Yo, what's up, man? Ha ha! Kegs in the back. Kegs in the back. Hats in the front. Motherfuckers know what y'all want. We do. Camp Citrus back at it.
How you living, kid? tropical trees and haystacks sand in between my toes a little bit of athlete's foot itchy itchy y'all itchy yammy itchy yay give me the mic so I can get some tough facts into acting, speaking of which I'm taking acting classes are you really?
No I'm not acting 101 there you go got em, I'm a method actor that doesn't act yeah bro what about kanye's teeth what happened he got all his teeth pulled and got the jaws from, 007 teeth no we didn't yeah no hold on okay eight hundred and fifty thousand dollar titanium, teeth he still got that money oh yeah he's got that still dude it wasn't even a million dollars that's what i said he's still got like a billion dollars right at least 500 million he go he's okay He's fine.
He's good. He's going to be okay. He's going to survive. He'll wake up in the morning and play on his boombox with the cassette tape in it. He goes, I will survive. You know what I'm saying? Here's a neat inspiration in the morning taking a shower. I'm going to make it do today. He's like, I'm done. He's like, he wakes up in the morning and goes, you know what I ain't going to do? Build a pyramid for when I die. Yes, and get titanium teeth. Yeah. You know what would be dope?
Is a UFC match in the octagon versus Jaws versus the Black Jaws. I put my money on the old Jaws from the Bond, Roger Moore style. Dude, that guy is a big man. He used to screw and show me watching those movies. Especially when that one where they're in Egypt and I think Karnak or whatever, you know, like one of those ancient Egyptian sites. And like he's, but he's like the bad guys in the classic bad guy sense where we're like.
The protagonist is running away from the evil bad guy and the bad guy is never running like in scary movies like Michael Myers but somehow they always it is my mind, you can never get no matter how fast you run Usain Bolt can't get away from him he can't get the door open but he's right at the top he doesn't know how to use the elevator and someone's like you know what, someone should write one where like the the answer to
defeating the bad guy the murder of the killer is going up an escalator because the motherfucker like michael myers don't know how to use the escalator no no no the flat ones at the airport you know what i'm talking about yeah yeah he's like what is this thing i don't know why i have that accent but yeah yeah he's like what's this. Michael myers yeah because michael myers is an illegal immigrant crossing the border illegally Now I'm going I'm like, what is this? What in the world?
Michael, man, get your shit together. Come on, Mike. A little fucking foundation will go a long way. If you're like Michael Myers, do you train? Do you work out? Or do you just catch him on a walk? I picture someone like Michael Myers confused as shit constantly.
That's why he's killing everybody because no one can tell him why he can't lose lose weight he doesn't work out he doesn't eat anything he's never seen never seen him eat never seen him drink anything and that butcher knife is not meant for cooking because he's never in the kitchen his kitchen is the world and his his meat his human flesh and he's just stabbing it he's not even good with it really you know i'm saying and like he's just trying to lose weight that's all he's
trying to do yeah he can't figure it out like he fasts he like like you think you've in a minute fasted before no he's always fasting he's intermittently constantly fasting have you Have you ever intermittently fastened? I tried to, and then I realized, like, oh, I can only drink water. But I had, like, eight creams and eight sugars in my coffee this morning. Kind of defeats the purpose. Yeah, I've never done it. But it's crazy because, like, it totally works. I get the science behind it.
But it's just tough. I'd rather, and also, I've come to the conclusion that I'll just do my push-ups every day. Like, I've been supposed to. I've resolved to do. How about you, sir? No. I haven't done it in a while. But I haven't drank a soda or, I pretty much cut sugar out completely. Yeah? Yeah. Did you, are you the person, the type that, like, you're a way of self at the beginning? No. And then, okay, got you. So don't, you just do it.
Yeah yeah i mean yeah i mean i'm just doing you know i'm saying like some people will like weigh themselves at the beginning and then see like see like the difference i'm gonna take something away next month and then like the whole year and then at the end of the year i'll be like a superhuman do you find that when you do that like makes you like you come to a realization sometimes that you're like oh i never actually needed
that to begin with you know what i mean like if you take something away and then you do it long enough for your discipline and then you don't need it anymore you realize you don't even have a desire and urge for it anymore such as like soda or something like that yeah right you're like oh i never had it i never needed to begin with they're all all those things are super addictive like so if you break it like you're gonna struggle yeah yeah
but you know i'm saying like my brother was able to change from regular coke to diet coke and i cannot stand a diet coke right like i'll just take water and my body goes dude if you just drink diet coke for two weeks that's all you need to do for two weeks drink diet coke and then you will never you won't know like diet coke will be fine for you you know i'm saying yeah i think diet coke is like the worst it's like i've heard that too yeah it's like really bad
like like people like it's a fucking it's the opposite of what you people what how they're promoting it advertising it like people think it's healthy and it's actually worth it a lot of people don't know this but like i have a phd and a lot of things and. Sodas is one of them yeah diet diet soda is bad yeah i would say even if you. Are like 100 certain on drinking soda drink diet pepsi there's no aspartame.
Leads to cancer is it is a synthetic aspect of like the chemicals that like that makes it quote unquote diet yeah exactly what it is like a lot of molecules and like protons and neutrons that They react weird with your gut probiotics. Which ones do you hate the most? Protons, neutrons, or electrons? Oh, mostly electrons. Yeah, I can't stand a goddamn electron. Fuck those electrons. You know what? I just recently...
What do you call it, hashed out this long-standing beef that's years long that I had with protons. But me and the protons met the other day, and we talked it over, and we hugged and left. So I'm good. We're not necessarily friends. I'm not going to send them a Christmas card. Yeah, I mean, I don't really want to invite them for Thanksgiving. But if I pass a proton in the street, I'll give them a head nod and be like, what up, bro? Most protons I don't fuck with. But animatrons, I was like, hey,
fuck you. You know what my favorite trons are in the world? What? The fucking animatronic robot set to Chuck E. Cheese or Showbiz Pizza. Have you ever seen that movie with Nicolas Cage? No, no, no, no. I know. And it's Wonderland? No. It's so good. I mean, it's like one of the worst movies I've ever seen. But it's classic,
Nick. One of the best. Yeah. If you can make a movie that's the worst movie ever, but also the best movie ever to you, then that's a hell of a fucking filmmaker as far as I'm concerned just like that it's just terrible. It's so terrible I love it Turbo Kid old school? It's just terrible like Hobo with a shotgun I'm running that one.
They're all terrible but the Turbo Kid I don't know why I like it it's like a comic book to me yeah yeah yeah I like that but I don't know, but I mean we want Neutrons are cool right I mean neither here nor there they're always neutral yeah, and for some reason they're all from Switzerland they're all Swiss as fuck yeah, god damn pick a side dude Jesus, you're one of those fucking fair weather fans right like you hate the team when
they're losing Neutrons hate the team when they're losing but love them when they're winning you know what I'm saying, Yeah they jump in the bandwagon God damn Neutrons Or like Neutrons don't care what you get for dinner You don't have to ask Neutrons, Whatever. I don't know, man. Do you like pepperoni and pizza? No. Neutron, do you like pepperoni and pizza? No. He's like, whatever you want.
Yeah, okay, dude. Whatever you want. It's fine with me. He's like, you should not eat meat, but if you're getting it, it's cool. Yeah, it's cool. All right. Well, your first response, though, was like, oh, once again, I fucking forgot that you don't eat meat. And you're like, no, I don't like pepperoni and pizza. Fucking Neutron. I mean, Neutron, I don't know. Don't they always cause explosions? Neutrons and protons always cause explosions. That was Wu-Tang, I think.
You know, that game the other night. Yo, State. Whoop. Whoop, whoop. Yo, I went to this game, took my mom. That's a great picture you sent me of you and your mom. Yeah, State played. Wake Forest. Wake Forest, man. Four, number two in the ACC. Yeah, yeah, same record. Yeah, same record. Conference record and overall record. Yeah, they were both four and one. And Wake Forest is first in, like, five categories offensively in the ACC conference, in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
And, like, points per game, three-pointers, May per game, three-point field goal percentage and field goal percentage, and three-pointers per game. But first, and we tell them, first half, Coach got ejected. It's always exciting. It is. And it always goes one of two ways. It never just even kills. There's no mooch on that right now. out. It's either you lose tremendously by you get blown out, or your team unites. Yeah. One for the goal. Yes. One for the good bar.
Yeah. And that's what happened. It took the last two minutes of the game. Yeah, going into halftime down 11. But we stood tall. And then we won, man. Yes. First time NC State started off in the conference, played basketball at 5-1. Since 88. 1911. Really? Like 1910, yeah. Get out of here. Yeah. Man. Yeah, that was exciting. Yeah, that was really exciting. It's cold that night, man. That was really exciting. Oh, actually, it was either that or because they mentioned
some stat, or it might have been what you said, since the Fire and Ice. That was 88. Yes. Fire and Ice. Fire and Ice. Jimmy V, baby. Yeah, I mean, we had a tough conference. I mean, UNC is undefeated. Number four. Yeah, number four. No, no, they're undefeated in the conference. In the conference. They're 6-0 or something. Yeah. And we're 5-1 now. So we're right there, baby. We were right behind them. Let's go.
I mean, you know. And so we lost at home. I think we're going to give them a tough game in the Dean Dome. Yeah, they did look good. I normally would not say that. They're looking real good right now. Because I hate them. But you got to give credit where credit's due. Yeah, but I will say that when NC State played UNC –. NC State didn't bring their A game. It was not the team that I've seen. That we saw last night or the other night. Yeah.
And I think, yeah, I think we do stand a good chance. Yeah. I just like where the program's headed. I like Keats. I love that shit. Yeah, when he got kicked out, I was like. He texted me. He was like, WTF? What the fuck? I was like, oh, shit, because I had just switched and I was watching the end of a movie. And I was like, oh, shit, I got to go back. And luckily, I got to see the replay of that bullshit no call.
Yeah. And then he's still on the court. Yeah, he was on the court. He was the 11th man. Like, there's too many people on the field. Yeah, that's a good game. Ref was like, get off the court. He's like, I'll go farther into the court. I'm at half court now. I'm in the middle of the court. Oh, he was like a half court, yeah. That was great. I always love it when the refs are, when the coaches get ejected. That's always a lot of fun.
And then one of the players gave the ref the middle finger. and it was four you know six total technical fouls that game so it was like yeah just two two for keys i got them tossed and then two double technicals when we took you know when we tied the game up for the first time yeah on that and one and it was like 15 minutes, like and i did which is so many unnecessary like un unplanned commercial breaks watching on tv yeah he's like okay we're gonna we're gonna go to a we're gonna
go to a you know you're commercial break now forever yeah it sorted out but how did it actually end up how did it conclude. Basically negated everything got negated and it was just an a1 call yeah that one thing though like it started off as the uh well a lot of people don't know it's like nc state wake forest is like a huge that's actually an older rivalry with than than we have with unc. We've been playing Wake Forest more times than we've played Carolina.
Yeah, I mean, we're closer. I guess we used to be closer. Yeah, we did. But, I mean, that's our original rivalry, State and Wake Forest. This year, the ACC's basketball is really good because it's all fork. It's Wake Forest. Yeah, the four schools in the state. And that's why the ACC, basically, in North Carolina, Is the heart and soul Of the ACC conference And that's why I was always in Greensboro Coliseum All those fucking years But before that It used to be held In Reynolds Coliseum Really?
Yeah It was called The Dixie Classic Oh yeah that's right Yeah Good old Dixie God that's Just saying that out loud Oh speaking of Dixie R.I.P. I think one of the Dixie chicks Just died recently Oh yeah R.I.P. Man You know I don't know Any of their songs Or really listen to them Oh oh Had to die Nah nah nah nah Nah nah And then in wide open spaces. That's like I'm singing Wild Horses. My mom, my girlfriend in high school, loved that album.
And it had like four or five top ten hits. And my mom loved it too. And I think my girlfriend bought my mom the CD. And so I come in on a Saturday morning. My mom's, you know, my dude's got that classic, the same busted-ass purple polo, color pop, cleaning, you know, like watering the flowers, watering the plants out back and just doing yard work, like just doing household shit and fucking blasting Dixie Chicks. Dixie Chicks? I walk in the door and it's like, I don't have to die.
I was like, why do I got to die? I don't have to die. It doesn't really have to die. I never listened to Dixie Chicks, but... What do you think it's like to live in Iowa? You better like corn. That's all I got to say. You think it's corn? A lot of corn? I'm not going to say it's all corn, but I'm not going to say it ain't corn. It's not any corn. The Moines looks dope, man. The Moines?

Let's take a train to Des Moines. I want to take a go. I would like to look out a train window. No, bro. No, no, no. As I'm crossing the Mississippi River. So, like...

No, but so like, we should go to Des Moines. Like, I bet it's just like here. Because it's dope. That's dope as shit, bro.
So speaking of which, I actually was, I forgot. I was actually passing through Des Moines one time, a long time, years ago, right? And Sky was on the street corner playing the acoustic guitar, right? Yeah. And yet, you know, like the classic situation set up scene where the scenario where it's- He's like on a bucket. Yeah. Yeah. But he's got his guitar case opened up where he tossed the coins in. He needs to get some money. So I was like, you know, we were waiting to cross the street,
you know, because we were going to jaywalk in Des Moines. You don't jaywalk in Des Moines. Oh, not in Des Moines. I saw what happened to a jaywalker. He ain't pretty. Never saw him again. I'm not going to repeat what I saw. Yeah. Put it this way. I ain't heard from him since.
And so we're standing there and we're hearing this guy because he's like right behind us and to the left strumming the guitar singing angelic voice beautiful beautiful guitar playing and so I turned around and I was like you know dad let me get a dollar.
So I can give it to the guy so he gives me he spots me on one and I'll turn it on and I'll drop it in and I'll say hey man I like your sound, and when the show goes on I said what's your name how can you know so I can look you up sometime if you make it anywhere and guess what his name was I don't know, Jason Aldean believe it or not there was fucking an 18 year old Jason before he hit it in Des Moines in Des Moines Jason,
motherfucking Aldean on a street corner downtown Des Moines oh and it was it was a little cold too who it was cold too who i believe i believe his name was uh something like jason.
Yo dalai lama ain't got shit on jason aldean that's all i gotta say but it was actually jason aldean crazy enough could be the next dalai lama you don't know yeah but then i was in a dunkin donuts the next day in des moines and guess who was working behind the counter Jason Aldean, fucking Jason fucking Aldean and I was like you tricked me you son of a bitch I was like I want that dollar back he goes tell you what I'll take a dollar
off your donut and I was like nah my dad wants that fucking dollar back, and I want a coffee I was gonna say jelly roll, when you called me back and you said Jason Aldean duh Fucking, uh... Yeah, you know... Is it Jelly Roll or what's the other guy's name? Jelly Roll, right? He's a big, fat, white dude. And he used to be like- This guy is fucking killing it. Yeah, and he's a fucking good dude. From all the things I've seen, like videos, he seems like a nice,
like- Genuine. Carded guy, yeah. Yeah, man, but like- He cares about people because he came from nothing. And he was in prison and shit. Yeah, I get all that, but like, I haven't listened to any of his music. No, I'm not listening to any of that shit.
But he has like a 10-minute freestyle style from like from like like 2008 right before he made a big i looked him up and he's like he's his he's spitting bars i didn't look him up but it was on apple i was looking at the charts and he had one album i swear i got he had three albums and they were all different albums not not not not not album damn it was like one was in country yeah he's yeah he's like yeah and one was in like like pop or rock yeah and because he's kind of like that country rap
type shit i feel like yeah it's like i got a shotgun so let me ask you that speaking of that kind of that genre of music because it's like it's a thing now but like what was that bubble sparks yeah for us yeah it's bubble sparks were the first yeah who gave me another guy another like something like that Something like that in our time. Nappy Roots was like that. But they were black. They were.
They were. Yeah, yeah. And what about that, I forget the name of the group, but remember that one hit song, it's Smokin' On. Hey, hey, in the middle of the park. We're smokin' on, hey, hey. It's that bouncy, it's like a little juke joint. Yeah. Yeah. And Nappy Roots is a good example. Yeah, but there's a lot of that now. I don't really listen to it because I'm not into that.
Yeah, I mean, it's like a genre now or like a category. I do have a fear with Jelly Roll that I'm going to discover his music in like 10 years and be like, why didn't I listen to it? But. Yeah, they're probably a little too far ahead in the future right there. Because in 10 years, that's what we're going to be in 10 years. Right here.
Rocking to Camp Citrus. Doing another Camp Citrus podcast episode, talking about how fucking much that big-ass sea turtle in the Galapagos Islands made us laugh our asses off.
Because I happen to have been smoking weed at the time, watching this turtle by like trying to like bet you that you won't ride it man i don't know i don't know what dude it's so hard to predict imagine looking at a term like this turtle i'm 41 this turtle's 80 years older than me because he's 120 years old years is a long time but you know it's so fast exactly exactly which one is it it depends on your it depends on the moment it's a long ass time or where did it go or
where did it go or where did it go yeah like imagine 10 years ago, where you yeah oh wow and then i was not in a good place probably 10 years ago and then 20 years ago oh yeah i know exactly where i was at killing it, i was you know me what else 21 i was killing the day 23 yeah i think that was like one of the best We were killing it, man. Killing it. Yeah, I was like on a rampage. Yeah, we were all up in parties. We were like, PPC. People were like, what's that? What's that? I've heard of that.
And all of a sudden, we'd get together, and it'd be a squadron. That was kind of the end of it, wasn't it? No, we were like old by this point, man. I know, but I mean, PPC went through high school. It's 21. I was like, I'll be in college. It wasn't in college. Remember that New Year's Eve party I had? You was there? We yell PPC. Yeah, everybody. And the only person you can see was Jamal's tall ass. Of course. But I think, I mean, I was bartending by that point.
You get the comment when was the comment i don't know i thought about that then i was like oh my god i had like i had that memory those memories in the back in my database and i never brought them back like located them that file and that file just showed up like by default one day into the front of my brain and i was like oh my god like because when you go down hill street it's not there and there's semblance of it and it's like there was a boom that was a time

And it was, like, open, but there was no one there. And I was like, there was a dude sleeping on the couch. Are you Tommy? And I was like, yeah. I was like, are you Tommy? And I'm looking for Tommy. And he was like, no. What do you want? And I was like, I'd like to know what the fuck you're doing right now, sir.

Whatever He's like You can watch the door tonight Jesus And I was like Yeah That was that That was that question That was that That was the That was the single Moment in time Where that That specific question was like That was gonna change your life You know what I'm saying Yeah It was Yeah, He's like Because you said no We might not even have this podcast He was like Can you work tonight And I was like Yeah. And lackadaisical songs were like, yeah, I guess. It was like...
The opposite of how you pronounce their names. Tommy. It was like... Well, you can start tonight. Tommy! I'm going to start all alone! That's some of my bitch shoutouts to Tommy. I think I went to work that night and he was like, can you bartend? You're getting promotions before your first night's over. And I was like, absolutely not. I was like, I can drink. I've seen bartenders, but I've never... And the whole time I'm working...
You're like, I'm always on the other side of the bar. The whole time this is happening, I'm working. The door. The whole time at a chicken spot. Yeah. Yeah. Like, I'm frying chicken. Killing it. Yeah. At a place with a drive-thru. You fried that chicken better than anybody fried that chicken, boy. Because after you listened to the last podcast, I was working at a biker bar. Punched a hole in the microwave there. So, yeah, it goes on. I resigned. I resigned.
And that was the end of that. I've got a job at this chicken place. And then I went to talk to this guy, Tommy. And when I saw him, I was worried. And he was like, just jump behind the bar. It's so simple. It's a hard old day. I'm going to go. He was like, dude, he's going to go take a nap again? He was like, the whole time, this girl was sucking on his neck. He's just like, this is how I'm going to go.
Was we hickies were so thing it was called necking and i was just like i don't know how to make a drink. I was like, dude, I want to be the best of boy I can, but I can't. I'm ready to run your label, but I need some direction here. He was like, you don't need to know how to make money. You're a fucking bartender. You don't need to have no fucking friends. I was like, if somebody wants to sex on me, what do you do? You told me I have $2 Jaeger. Fuck it.
And I was just like. That sounds pretty legit. I was like, okay. And it was like, what the fuck is going on, man? Q told me one time, like, he made me laugh for a while, it was a similar example to when he was describing with like, making a sex on the beach, you know, and Mike goes, Q would go, I'm like, so what if someone orders some shit like that and says to me, he goes, fuck sex on the beach, he's like, you can't, you can't, vodka. Grapefruit, or something like, you can't, or just vodka.
He's like, I was like, okay, so what about a, like a slippery nipple, you know, like some fucking stupid shit, right?
And like another mix you know fancy like yeah he goes he goes he goes he goes, whiskey and coke he was like nope, he's like I say beer and I say shots I say all shots and I say and he's like and I don't say nothing but like three mixed drinks it's like you get the fruity mix the classic fruity mixed drink you get the whiskey and coke and you get that's about it probably yeah and then he um he was a really good I mean I don't know who he was for a long time
Y'all have a good chemistry. I don't think he knew how to make drinks. No. Like, I'm saying, like, you were talking to Mike. But it was almost, like, funny. Like...
This is being allowed yeah like and i'm looking the door too do you know how much liquor is in there just drink it i'm like but i was the same way when i started that's what i'm saying like you got to be tommy to cute one time a bar center asked me at the end like this is when i was like a greenhorn i didn't know what i was doing but i had moved up i was like i had moved up pretty far And the guy was like, hey, tonight when we were working, I saw you pour like somebody,
some Jim Beam and the bottle ran out. And he just filled it with Jack Dane. So I fell off and so on. So I'm like, oh, yeah, that's like, I'm pretty sure that's a big no-no. And I was like, it's the same thing. Because the nationality is the fucking same. And they were like, no, no, you would never do that. Like, that's the breaking. That's law. And I was just like, we don't have Coca-Cola. We have Pepsi. Yeah. And I'm supposedly selling whiskey and Coke, Jack and Coke.
But it's Jim Beam and Pepsi. You know what I'm saying? It's like coming right up. You know what I'm saying? Like, you know, question. Oh, my God. But I didn't know any better. Because, like, it's not what I drink. Yeah. But I'm saying, if you served, like, if I was a bartender or worked at a restaurant and, you know, like, yeah, Worked at a bar and someone ordered a Jack and Coke and we only had Pepsi products. And yeah, but we had Jack Janos. I'm not saying Jack and Pepsi, okay?
I'm saying coming right up because you're not drinking it for the fucking soda. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah. And also, you suck at drinking because I don't think you're supposed to be mixing soda, like Jack and Coke together. You should be able to sip on some fucking Jack. I know.
Know what i'm saying like it does it's like jack and coke is for like when we're in high school and you got like fucking 10 minutes to get drunk i know that i worked in a bar for a really long time and the truth of the matter is is that yeah the bottom line is like not just like if you don't like your drink you can say something but you're telling me it's the best you can say something but like I don't really give a fuck I mean it has nothing to do with me
yeah that sounds like a you problem sir in general like if you order like the shit doesn't taste good anyway yeah exactly exactly like yeah we can spruce it up but are you here for the flavor of the drink or are you here because of what the drink can do to you the most complaints I got were like please add more like oh yeah yeah add the non-alcoholic part yeah more of that add more coke add more orange juice add more yeah cause I add more anything Anything other
than vodka. I had a super heavy hand. You could do that at the places you worked at. You could do that. Yeah, it was like a play for all. You know what I'm saying? It ended up being my first night ever. The guy left me behind the bar. He was like, somebody will be in at 10. Dude, it was like 8.30. I'm pretty sure you got a promotion before you finished your first night. So yeah, you moved up quick. You became bar manager by midnight.
The next guy comes in and is like who are you and you're like who are you you know I can't help but register, count gas and they're looking around like left and right next to no one's watching and you're shoving your big wad yeah, I'm sorry have a good night folks alright. On three one two three team you know team Go team. But like, so was back to the comment real quick.
How we were saying it's like such the craziest weirdest place but like i felt like it had everything every it had one piece of everything you see at bars you know i'm saying it had every that's why i had the dance floor had a dj booth that's like up above the dance floor in the corner yeah right then they had like a like an upper level and a lower level yeah but it was like a half a half a level you know i'm saying half a back room yes and then the middle bar that's like.
Full 360 in the middle. Yeah. Did you have your arcades? Yeah. Your pool table? The air hockey. And definitely a foosball there somewhere, right? Yeah, I think so. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? But it was all, it was such a weird, like, it wasn't a flat, yeah, yeah. It was weird, but it was, yeah.
Because you could be over there and your bros could be on the other side, corner across, you know, across the entire bar and y'all could be in the same bar, but like the vibe and the situation where you could be completely the opposite of where your buddies were on the other side of the bar because it's like you're in a different little zone you know i'm saying like yeah because it had that like spots and shit that's a pretty cool fucking bar that place is really cool and when i like this too
like i like any type of bar place like that with low ceilings yeah it was super dark and very yeah in low ceilings and make very very like cave like that's the bar that they said was It was haunted. Oh, I could totally see that. They said it was haunted. Like, you're cleaning up at night, like, on a dance floor, and, like, you see some apparition, like, fucking breakdancing? Yeah. Get out of here. It was next to the brewery. Yep. Which was, like... Classic Raleigh State, Raleigh landmark.
Mall of Anier. Yeah, it's like the cat's cradle of Hillsborough Street. Maybe? Yeah, kind of. But they came up big in the 80s with, like, in the early 70s with, like, punk rock and heavy metal. But they... I hadn't seen. They... I mean... How many times did you go into the brewery? You want to tell a story? I'm not going to say. I think I might have said it, but I don't know. How many times did you go to the brewery? I got kicked out one night.
Band was playing they sing shelf in the room is it what kind is like hard rock i can think of heavy metal the album cover is like a tree it's like it's not allison chains but it's like very similar though not velvet underground that that band would like w some temple bonds lead singer jay mcwall was a guitarist it was like it was like a superstar super no it was not a big band Well, it was, but Shelf, it was like the Shelf.
Velvet Revolver is what I'm thinking of. In the room. Crash Test Dummies? No. I got no idea. What was the genre? Oh, you know what? I've got to figure this out real quick. It was like rock. It was like 90s rock. Okay. Like you're still talking about it's like rock. Yeah, the 90s rock. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. I'm feeling it. I'm feeling it. Velvet in the room? Collective Soul? No. But do you know what I'm talking about? The show.
That's why I said Crash Bandits. I was like, Monster, what's this boy who? Where do we go? I have no idea what you're talking about. But then when you tell me the name of the band, I guarantee you. I'm like, oh, yeah. I mean, I can't remember the name of the band. But I got into a really argument with the lead singer during the concert, like early.
And you like what what issue did you have with the with the lead singer during his performance he started talking shit okay well there you go enough said like he had a microphone oh yeah he actually had the yeah that's basically like being on the street corner with a megaphone like you say what the fuck you want and you can literally like just i was like he was like other bands are copying us. Oh, he sounds like a conceited asshole. Dazed of the New. Dazed of the New.
I'm definitely going to check that out. It's called Dazed of the New. That's the name of the band or the song? Name of the band. Dazed of the New. Okay. Yeah. Like Dazed and Confused. Dazed of the New. Days. Oh, Dazed of the New. Okay. Dazed of the New. Okay. But anyhow, they're like, this guy was talking shit, man. What were you doing? You had to have been doing something. Yeah, I was just hanging out. I was like, he kind of like went through that real quick.
Like, I'm just hanging out. What do you mean hanging out? You were there to watch the band or no? Like, you did something to that guy. Otherwise, he would have interrupted his performance. You know what I mean? Not specifically? Yeah. Because guess what? That song right there sounds like every other rock song got hurt in the 90s. So, check it out. Yeah, exactly. So, this guy, his name is Travis. He's a lead singer.
Shout out to Trav Travers yeah yeah you know I was hanging out so I've been across the street I know what you I know hanging out which that is yeah across the street was the East Village yeah yeah I've been over there long before, oh you're feeling nice you're feeling nice so I went over to the brewery used my ticket met these people to get in, and I'm so scared I'm gonna take a sip of this beer and do a spit take cause you're gonna make me laugh sorry.
Okay but we got and yeah i had gone to the brewery multiple times that's like i've been there i got a funny story the only time i ever went to the brewery but the guy in the middle of the concert was like hey man he was like fuck these other bands trying to sound like us and he was like fuck incubus and i was like like you fucked up dude like you gave me something to do yeah i was just hanging out And then it's like, like this band live. And I was like, lightning crashes. That song was so good.
And everything that he said, I would just like cheer it on. The opposite. You know, like you were the opposite fan that he was looking for right there. I had seen Incubus like the week before at the House of Blues. Nice. Northern Beach. Yeah. They were so good. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, and at this particular concert at the brewery, yeah, the guy was like... He was like, hey, man, could you please shut the fuck up? And I was like... You're fucking my vibe up. I was like, fuck,
you know... Opposite, what's the opposite? Could you please shut the fuck up? No, fuck you. I was really young. I was probably like 21. And I was like, yeah, you know, like...
You and he was like that's just that bravado it was just like you whip a snapper this girl right here is the reason i was like fuck yeah yeah it's not no chance yeah i'm just like going crazy and i see the bouncers coming towards me and realize the bouncers jason aldean sorry sorry all true i swear on my life okay so you're like fuck you fuck you bouncers coming yeah and then.
Why can't I be a final one on that situation I'm like alright you know what I'm out I tell the guy fuck it I'm out of here the guy I met it was a guy and a girl I tell them I'm out of the house they drove separately it didn't matter so like you know I leave, I'm like I don't want any trouble yeah I talk to the guy the next day he's like man my fucking since the guy who was saying fuck you I don't want no trouble oh yeah I was like as soon as I was like hey guys
you know it's all fun and you saw like you know what I'm fucking about I didn't know I was gonna get kicked out I love you guys but it's my time to leave, I'm not gonna let them touch me so I'm all ready I'm like I'm leaving.
Fuck them and then just one more at the end on the way out I talked to the guy the next day and he's like man my fucking car got towed and I'm like really that sucks yeah I wasn't there, but he's like the reason he got told is because we end up staying there so, fucking late as shit or whatever and he's like like parties like that guy asked us to hang out late night oh shit and we went in the green room to hang out with him his name is travis lead
singer of days in the new for all that are listening and days of the new sorry and he's like like that guy like put his dick out and was showing us his knife collection and he's like it got fucking weird that got real real quick and i was just like what what he was gonna have your car trucking tone it's like so we got out of there pretty quick and then our car was fucking gone so you know the best part about that story is the fact that like at the beginning of it it seemed like you were gonna
get the wrong end of the deal because you had to leave early because Because you're like, fuck you, fuck you. Come to find out. No, that was the best decision anyone in the group of friends who came with made. By you leaving early, you won. You fucking won.
Like like if i had known that dude showed me his penis and whipping knives out it was gonna cause my car to get towed he's like i'd rather not my car get towed you know i'm saying like if i know that's the reason why my car got towed it's because i went back to the green room and he started flashing his d on me and pulling blades out it's like yeah i'm just going home like my i could do yeah i was just like so like yeah it's your
call if you want to listen to days that new supposedly supposedly the lead singer is a flasher oh so this is keeping his pants so then like to follow up on the story meanwhile like i swear to god like it wasn't much longer like Like maybe a year later. The same guy was on Intervention. No, he was not. Which one? Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Holy shit. Was on Intervention. He started chatting to the TV screen. Fuck you. Fuck. I was just like.
Got him. I was like, yeah. Who was that one, buddy? That's a great example in your life. You know what? You thought like earlier that day, you thought like, you know, you weren't living your best life and you need to change your ways and then you get homesick on the couch and channel so everybody come across that and you're like oh you know what I'm not doing too bad right now in this fuck face.
Look at this guy he's sold out to make money because because he's an addict and he's going on a fucking reality and you're like you know what I'm actually doing pretty good you know what I think I wanna I wanna start a business tomorrow I was just like wow, how crazy he's got perspective right there Yeah you're like This motherfucker Yeah it's just insane It sounds like Your boy Travis Could use a little Jason Aldean in his life. Yeah, but then they said, yeah, there's a whole lot to that.
Like, a whole, like, area. Like, they said that, like, that used to be a convenience store, and it was robbed, and, like, four people were shot or two. What's crazy is, like, the brewery itself is, like, my church I grew up going to, it was, like, right off of Hill Street across from State Campus, and the brewery was, like, located next to State Campus. And what was crazy is, so we'd always go past it, you know, from my house to the church and shit.
And, and I, like, I grew, I remember thinking to myself, like, you know, like, if you're going to walk, if I'm walking down Hillsborough Street, I'm going to cross the street and walk on the other side, across, past East Village, because, like, I don't want to, I mean, it's so, it's so seedy, just right there at the brewery, you know what I'm saying?
Like, just the brewery area right there, like, but, like, before and after, it's fine on that side, but, like, right there, yeah, it's like, it's like, be careful, you don't want to be a little kid walking by. Yeah, it's really crazy. Yeah. Yeah. And then. That's what it felt, I remember feeling that way. So, East Village was across the street from the Comet and the brewery. Yeah. And that place was, like, I probably worked at the Comet for, like... Oh, did you know the people there?
I don't know. Yeah. I mean, I may have maybe worked there for six or seven months. I was there the day it closed. I'm talking about you got to know the people that worked at East Village. Yeah. But, like, in the six or seven months that I worked at the Comet, that somebody, a fight broke out at East Village. Oh, God. And somebody went through the window. No. At least three or four times. That's awesome. While I worked there. That's awesome. They were like, yeah, somebody...
They would just be like, we got to. Because to the fans, the listeners, East Village would be your typical, prototypical college bar, bar and grill. Yeah. Chicken wings. Yeah. Burgers, flats. Yeah. Fat boys, sorority chicks. Yeah. And then the TV's everywhere, but it's still not like, it's like your local sports bar and not like your franchise, like your ale house or your, you know what I'm saying?
Like places like that and so it was like it's like little corners of griminess but it was still the complete opposite of the comment bar that you worked at across the street, and even more so like the brewery which was next to it was more like for the people that don't want to go to east village i mean the way the only way i can describe the comment is like it looked like, like a god yeah it was like really and the way i was describing being set up
earlier it's like It was a place where every type of character had a spot inside the comet that, they could chill in where someone that's the complete opposite character could be over there next to them in another corner with their people. You know what I'm saying? There would be fat parties there. You know what I'm saying? Or dance parties. The heat of that bar was that there was no discrimination. Yeah, there definitely was no discrimination, but they really locked into the service industry.
Oh, yes, yes, yes. Most of their customers were waitresses, businesses, barbacks, bartenders. And you're a cute bartender, and I got to see that side of the service industry. Because when me and Q were living together, I was... Those off from bartending. I'd go out with him, like, you know, because he's so young enough, and it'd be the Wednesday night. That's like the start of, that'd be like Cod's night. They'd party and shit, like Rum Runners or something.
But I'd go out with Q, and I'd just follow him. And so he'd go, basically, he'd go to the bars where he knew the bartenders. And basically would pay the kindness that they paid to him when he was bartending. And so it's like, and then, like, years later, I'm sitting on my couch one time, stoned, and I'm thinking about it and I'm like, oh, they were just handing each other the same money back and forth. And like, the money, they never spent the money. It's just an exchange to the same hand.
It was an exchange from the same hands every time. It's just, here's your $100 back. Here's your $100 back. Like, it was honestly easier. But that loyalty, that friendship, that fucking communion that y'all have, it was great. I loved it. It was honestly like easier to just go somewhere, get a beer and a shot and a shot, leave a 20 and get the fuck out. Because if you want anything else, basically, you were going to spend like a
hundred bucks. Exactly. Yes. Yeah. If your tab was 40. But you got like five other bartenders to go see. Yeah. So like, I learned quick. So you do a hundred dollars. Yeah. Yeah. Instead of one place. Yeah. Yeah. Spend that low. You're basically handing the same 20 back and forth. That's what you're doing. Back then, you're like taking cash. It was like. Yes. It was a wild west, but it was fun. We didn't know what we were doing. it was crazy but I think like.
But like just being with Like rolling with you And like Q And like In those days It's like The fucking feeling Of satisfaction Or like.
Exuberance Or you know like That I felt When I would like Basically because I was with you guys And You would know Yo we would not Wait in line We would not Like like We wouldn't have to Go to a bar The bartender would see You or Q, And From like across the room And y'all would get some fucking fucking super boring sign language and all of a sudden mike you know mike would be like yo follow me you go to like the very front of the bar where you're not supposed to stand but you
can stay in there and there's three beers and three shots all over there and then i'm like sitting around like what the fuck is going on and then i turn around and i hear i'm like what is this is like just take it yeah it's like you can't even move in the place yeah yeah but somehow how about somehow you VIP'd the shit out of it you go in the back door yes yes yes yes it's like it's very good fellas yeah yeah because there'll be that one big bouncer dude on the back door makes sure no one,
running up in there and then he sees y'all and you're like what up Terry. You gotta dab him up and he's like who's this little fuck look at me I'm like and y'all are like oh yeah he's cool and he gives me he gives me a little massage man up and down like mm-hmm, and I'm like what's up man he's like like get the fuck out of here man yeah i mean that was fun i was wondering if it's still like i was riding y'all fuckers coattails like a motherfucker and it was great there was a time like back then
too we ran the city many bars and it was like yeah you ran the city yeah it was a tight-knit community i mean it was good yeah it was close. Right it wasn't no no like madama doesn't it was like whack whack you won't last six months yeah there's one on every corner but i mean back then it was just like you knew everybody like you you knew everybody knew you yeah it was so much fun i think it's still like that but not not so much maybe in des moines because des moines is dope
son oh speaking of ireland what about that girl girl. Clark. Chicken brawl, son. He is amazing. Yo, she'll fuck everybody up. Female or like. What's her name? Kelly Clark? Son! Is that it? No, I don't think so. I don't know. That bitch is country fed and country bred and will fucking wreck your ass. She's like amazing, man. That's what I'm saying, but she's from Iowa. She's going to Iowa. Yo, look at her. She looks like she's from Iowa too. And not from Des Moines. From the rural part of Iowa.
I don't know the difference, man. Neither do I. But I know for a fact, Des Moines, Iowa is dope. And her name is, what's her name? He asked me if it was Kelly Clarkson. I thought you were, Kelly Clark. I thought you were setting me up to go, son. And you're like, no, no, is that her name? I'm like, Caitlin Clark. Caitlin Clark. Caitlin with a K?
I mean, like. No, it was a thing. Damn it. I like Caitlin with a K. I probably like the mom because she's oh she was born in Des Moines because Des Moines is dope Des Moines is dope, yo actually I think there was a girl behind me at that intersection when I saw Jason Aldean a long time ago and I think that girl was behind me it's a young boy from Des Moines the dopest city in the world no they don't man yo and also one of the coolest places I've ever been wow not
a cigarette but anywhere Anywhere? Anywhere. Wow. Yo, they don't need street supers because the streets don't need to be sweet. No way. So clean. So fresh. All right, man. You ready to take them out? Yeah. It's hard to yell when the bell's in your mouth. Bring them out. Bring them out. Time to take them out. Take them out. Let's sing it out. Let's sing them out. Take them out. Take them out. Take me out to the ball. I don't know what I'm doing. Sorry. I guess I'm fucked up at the end. Bye.
