Starting point is 00:02:03 Anytime. Him and Brandon. Anytime. Yeah. She was a little weird, but weird in the best way possible. Literally, Ernie, I don't know what the hell. I still don't know what he did to his back, either pinch the nerve or whatever. Picking up something or something.
Starting point is 00:02:17 Yeah. It's too tall. He's too tall. I just had Eddie walk up to me with a worried look and go, Oh, great. How many songs do you know? I go, fuck. You could tell when someone's going to, like, deliver you a certain kind of news when you see their face.
Starting point is 00:02:32 walking and be like oh great yeah he gave me this the frown and the big eyes i'm like oh something's wrong i had heard about the ernie situation and then i saw eddie he goes where's joe oh no and i'm always like i didn't think anything of it because eddie was just like ernie's back is hurt and i was like oh shit i was like man you know this one time joey learned a set two hours before we got to california and played a set was was snuffed on so i'm not saying that for any reason and then I walked away and then Dee was like
Starting point is 00:03:03 damn Eddie just came out to me and goes Where's Joey? I was like hell yeah That's when That's when you know It's slamming time It was sick It was fun to do some rippins once
Starting point is 00:03:16 It was full It was fun How was that for you? It was weird So like Obviously I'm used to playing with These three On my strings
Starting point is 00:03:25 My lips are turning black I was playing And then like I would look And for some reason My brain would be like I'm about to go look at Soto And I'd see you you just give me the fucking just the look and I'm like yeah fuck yeah yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:03:37 watching y'all too get to do the band link up yeah yeah yeah but drummer guitar player link up from the front of house while I was watching I was just like this is a dream I was like I'm watching this shit actually live out like the one downside of being in the band as uh you can't watch your own band right why you play you can't you're up on stage you got to play watching joey drum was as battles close as we get songs that we play at practice sometimes it's like you know what does uh what does joey sound like yeah what does he look like you don't really know yeah because like what does he tastes like because we know all artisms connect so it's cool watching his tism connect with someone else's
Starting point is 00:04:17 he tastes like an health bar yeah i like connecting with the drummer it's fun so it's like like look and it's like yeah yeah yeah it's like a it's like a word it's like a connection you don't really can't like explain or just a share It's an unspoken bond. You might have to pass around the ashtray here. But it is definitely an unspoken bond though. For sure. It is.
Starting point is 00:04:40 It's definitely an unspoken bond. It took Ernie a while to start doing that. Because first it was just like. To try to focus on playing the parts perfectly. Dude, fucking play a little bit sloppier. It's fine. Yeah. Look at me. Grit at me.
Starting point is 00:04:50 Spit on me. Pause. Resume. Well, do for real. We need a pause count just ahead of time because we're about to say that shit all throughout this fucking interview. Yeah, we just need a pause counter. Pause.
Starting point is 00:05:04 Pause that up. What does that mean? That just means slow down with what you're saying. Okay. You're saying some real deep shit, need to chill the fuck out. Okay. You know, pause. Pause.
Starting point is 00:05:15 Rewind. It's too much. Well, good news is you don't got to worry about this coming out and then me editing it completely. Are you guys... You're getting all of artisms in this video? I heard you guys had an interview and someone just basically edited out all the great parts. Hold on. Hold on. Pause.
Starting point is 00:05:29 This is the first five. person peeling interview. Really? Yeah. Because the other ones we kept having to swap out when we were all there, but this is the first one we're actually all in the picture and they're gonna keep all the stupid shit that we said in between the actual questions. That makes it good. Yeah, how do we copy and paste these two out? War me. This is our first and last five person. Yes. Well, people don't really understand because they'll ask you if like a picture, but it's hard to wrangle five people. into one kind of area, it's hard. Someone's out getting McDonald's, the other person's at the bar, so on the person's passed out high in the van. Think about your 9 to 5.
Starting point is 00:06:11 People's 9 to 5. You know, you can't get, imagine how to fucking get a team meeting over here. Probably not a team meeting at my job in like two years. I love that. People are like, can I get a picture with the whole band?
Starting point is 00:06:21 I'm like, oh, fuck. Yeah, just meet us by our van while we're loading in or something. I don't know where we're all going to be together. You know where they at? Yeah, right. You know where they are? I haven't seen them.
Starting point is 00:06:30 I haven't seen them. Guarantee Soto's shitting Soto's probably shitting. Someone's probably taking a shit. You know what? I might never see him again. No, that's Soto for sure. Yeah. Soto for sure. I got the diver ticcimolitis.
Starting point is 00:06:44 He'd be venturing to other dimensions to shit. You got to say, I need an intestinotomy. Spell that shit. Oh my goodness. Spell that shit out. Dude, you guys are taking slam to a whole new level. We're trying. It's cool.
Starting point is 00:06:54 Trying to shove it in people's living rooms, lokey. Yeah. Well, you're doing a great job. Trying to get on BET. Thank you. Trying to bridge it. Thank you. Trying to bridge all the...
Starting point is 00:07:04 Trying to get on Zeus. All the hardcore, all the death metal. All the... Like, I know metalcore kids that haven't even ever listened to Slam. They're like, yeah, I love peeling flesh. Right. Everybody loves Slam. They just don't fucking know it.
Starting point is 00:07:16 It sucks. Literally. Everybody likes that one slam rift out of the whole song of like a death metal band or a death core band. Head bingers, bull. Head bingers bull. Yeah. Try to get on, bring the sleeves to the head biggest bull. Yeah. And pause.
Starting point is 00:07:35 Okay, got it. Okay, so, Soto, you have, so you actually personally have met with the Slam gods. And what did the Slam God tell you? They said, find that lanky bastard, Joey. He going to do you right. And I said, nah. And it was like, no, for real. He was like superior drummer in a human.
Starting point is 00:07:53 And I was like, nah. And then I met him. And I was like, holy shit. This kid is like no other fucking slam drummer in the world. Well, what's funny, though, is I wasn't even. Even that, like, you take 27, 2018 me compared to now. Yeah. I'm a piece of shit back then.
Starting point is 00:08:08 Yeah, but that's not what matters. The talent isn't what matters. What matters is the feel, the groove, and the ability to not give a shit about rules and just playing what comes to your mind without worrying about, like, oh, this don't fit, this don't fit. Who gives a fuck? Play it. Software updates.
Starting point is 00:08:26 Software update. You are the head updater. Pause. Mad pause, but I'm the handyman I'd be watching his Alright so we was just talking about you filling in We were all just like
Starting point is 00:08:42 Oh let's hurry and get in the venue Let's do our thing blah blah blah let's work We clocked in blah blah blah we found out about Ernie's back and then we watched The fucking CPU start clicking And Joey's brain when it was like Yo can you fill in on a few songs He was like in the mode
Starting point is 00:08:57 Boom the whole world didn't fucking matter On button right that man was in that room with those songs and was like, I'm about to give this my fucking everything. And I watched, by the front of house, watch him learn some songs, like, in the back and then went to front of house and then he fucking
Starting point is 00:09:13 kills the songs on stage. And I was just like, that is exactly the kind of person I didn't know it was possible. Like, I didn't, like, I come from, we all come from Oklahoma. Nobody from Slam gets popular in Oklahoma. So it's like, everything's kind of new.
Starting point is 00:09:29 But like, we're trying to We're trying to do the thing. Sorry, I've got to pass the weed. That's fine. I'm not sure this is disrespectful or not, but we could use this as as a stray as well. Can I hit that really? Yeah, sure.
Starting point is 00:09:42 That's kind of quiet. I love singing bowls. Is that disrespectful? We use that as an ashtray? I don't think so. I mean... Not to find out. Oh, no, no.
Starting point is 00:09:53 You got to hold it like this and let it reverberate. And then swing that thing around the outside of it. Yeah. Outside. Outside? Yeah. Swing that. thing be thanging you feel me but it's very particular shit's paging the ass I still

Starting point is 00:11:47 So, so... Saddle all the babies and babies. So bands from your era tend not to basically do what you guys just did. Not in slam. Not really in Oklahoma either. Not... It just doesn't happen very often. Well, we have death metal dance.
Starting point is 00:12:01 Like, Broken Flesh was like the heaviest fucking thing in Oklahoma for like a really, really long time. And like, we weren't trying to like take that torch or anything. We just doing our own version and just doing Slam. You know what I mean? But like Slam for some reason just got everybody's attention because they just
Starting point is 00:12:17 remembered everybody loves Slam. If you like a groove and a beat, you like Slam. You got to remind people. Right. Yeah. Yeah. And grooves are undeniable. Bro, Chelsea Grain has slams on this tour. Suicide silence had fucking slams on this tour. Everybody
Starting point is 00:12:33 had slams. I am had slams. That's four versions of head music. They're just hidden. Hidden, that's it. They're just, they're just hidden within the layers of the music. Like, I can always tell when a band has members that listen to slam in some way or shape or form, which I know, like, specifically Dan loves all his brutal and slam and shit like that. Shout out Dan Kinney. Yeah, he told me about you guys. Can Denny. Bless that man's heart.
Starting point is 00:12:58 And your band formed in. 2021 and it's pretty remarkable what you guys have done into some matter of two years two and a half is fucking crazy ish that is wild yeah well i mean we worked our ass off obviously there's obviously it appeared like before that yeah we all you know in our own right me and joey at one time and then me joey and austin and d was doing his own thing and jason was doing his own thing, you know, but we just eventually just randomly ended
Starting point is 00:13:31 it up like, yo, you fuck with Slam. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Sick. And then we got mad high and wrote Slamopholics. Oh my goodness. I'm pretty sure we got Austin contact on accident. I'm pretty sure, if I'm not mistaken,
Starting point is 00:13:46 Slamaholics Volume 1 literally had no we weren't. When we wrote that, we weren't like, okay, we're going to do this, we're going to tour, we're going to be a touring band. We're going to play shows. This was literally like, we're going to just release this on the internet. It's fire.
Starting point is 00:14:00 And let's see what happens. We're going to do the most unmarketing music possible. We started going. Like, we're going to write the most unmarketable, most. We're running what we want to write in like the most, like, 100% all the way. Like, the stupidity, all the fucking dumbass samples, all the rap beats and shit. Like that's. Because everybody just.
Starting point is 00:14:24 makes you think that you can't do that. Like, I mean, because you've seen it done so many times in a fucking terrible fucking way. I'm selling interludes. You look like a guy who's fucking interludes. You look like a guy who's fucking interludes. Oh man, the last month has been amazing. Oh my goodness.
Starting point is 00:14:43 And Joe, you have been called the fountain of slam riffs. Yes, it is. Is this true? Yeah, I do dabble. Him and Jason are just pouring from them. They're just seeping. Him and Jason are a pair of mountains. pause, but him and Jason are a pair of mountains of slam just overflowing
Starting point is 00:14:58 and shit, you know what I'm saying? When we wrote the winter mixtape, the winter promo, did you literally write another one? That was three minutes, or three songs that me and Jason probably took what, two and a half hours to write three songs? The split? Same thing with the split. It was literally like
Starting point is 00:15:14 I programmed a song of drums, he ripped over it, fire. I was like, okay, let's do that again. I programmed just a hold on the whole song of drums, he ripped over it, fire. And we did three songs like that. came the winner promo. And then when we did the Putrid Stu split with like Cody
Starting point is 00:15:28 and shit like that, that was two hours, an hour of song. What? Yeah. I mean, super quick, super easy. Just lock them in a room. Just lock them in a room. They just fuck it out. Yeah. Let me just go ahead and say Volume 3 is already written. And we're
Starting point is 00:15:44 working on, should I say the PF Radio thing? Put your bourbons in the air. Go for it. Put your bourbons in the air. Rich and die hard. Get rich and die hard.
Starting point is 00:15:57 That's right. So are you entering the scenario or the room with no riffs in mind or you're just starting completely fresh? Or do you have like a riff kind of? Got slams in mind. Usually when me and Jason go in, it's usually completely fresh. It's got to be fresh. He knows how to play drums too.
Starting point is 00:16:14 Like he can conceptualize drums the way I do. He can't like, obviously play it on the kid just because he hasn't practiced on it. But he knows what I can, what needs to be played on certain riffs. the exact same way I do. So it's just, nah, nah, nah, nah, and then just song done. 30 minutes, yeah. Bam, bam, bam.
Starting point is 00:16:31 So even for you, for you, Jason, like there's no rip kind of plan. You're just kind of, we're just going to... But you always kind of got rich, don't you? I mean, I'll be at the house. So I'll make beats too, you know. So I'll be at the house and I'll be bored. Like, if I make too many beats,
Starting point is 00:16:46 I'll switch to, like, metal. And so I'll make demos, so we'll have some sometimes. Thank you. But usually, like, if it's me and Joey... I don't give him demos Yeah, you have been. God damn. But like, we're riding the full length right now, and there's like a lot done already. We just got to go back and re-record shit.
Starting point is 00:17:04 But usually it's just like, if it's me and Joey, I'm like, I already know. It's going to be fresh. Yeah. The best stuff is fresh, honestly. It's that... Like human pudding. Right. That's just...
Starting point is 00:17:17 Human pudding. I mean, we have tons of demos. We have tons of demos that, like... It's not that... that we didn't want to use them. It's just that every time we got together, it was fresh. So it was just like every time we got together,
Starting point is 00:17:30 we'd write some fresh shit that was just felt next level. And sometimes that next level just feels next level than everything else you've done before. But it's just, that's it. That's all we're doing is just trying to top ourselves.
Starting point is 00:17:41 But every aspect, D is always trying to fucking top the fucking vocals and like, you know, us live as a unit, D is always trying to top the vocals. D or Austin is always trying to fucking hurt people with his bass tone. know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:17:55 Joey's trying to punish people with his blast beats and shit. Like, that's just what we want to, we wanted to just be next level of what we've done last time. Can we get a Soto hand cam? I want to see, like, everything. Oh, you're talking about my tism hand, bro?
Starting point is 00:18:08 Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that, when this shit have to do slam here, slam here, slam there. Slam here. There's slam here. Got to do it. But we'll put a slam right here. It's either that or a jogging place.
Starting point is 00:18:20 What the fuck on? Which one you want? No, jog in place right now. Oh, bro. We need a pause count. Is someone keeping track? No. Jesus is.
Starting point is 00:18:30 I think we're about six right now. He is. At least 19. And Austin, you came from, so you originally got into country first, and then Slam came after. Yeah, I grew up listening to shit like Diamond Rio. And then my first ever metal band was Cradle of Filth whenever I listened to, what was it, Nemesis, soft nymphenamine. dude that's his own is fucking sick yeah
Starting point is 00:18:55 that's amazing yeah real oklahoma shit yeah good old country town yeah we come from country towns both of us like from like mad country towns
Starting point is 00:19:07 like his town is like mad country one of the first shows that like I ever went hung out with him at though was in that town at his going away party party that shit that was detrimental to like me feeling comfortable in Oklahoma City was that party because that was that was aberrant before
Starting point is 00:19:22 was aber in. Yeah, it was just us chilling in the crowd watching Gravewalker, right? Yeah. Yeah. Damn. Well, things turned out pretty sick. I mean, you always went to the Navy, right? Yeah, for what was it? Four and a half, five years. That was a
Starting point is 00:19:38 experience. I was actually at Camp Pendleton for a while. Really? Yeah. Oh, shit. How was that? Right near the beach. I always loved dealing with the Marine Corps way more than the Navy. There's just so much easier, they're like, oh, well, it has to be done, do it this way.
Starting point is 00:19:54 And then the Navy was like, oh, well, here's a whole, here's a bowl of soup, eat it with a fork. Fire. It was fucked. How do you do that? You throw the bowl at the fucking drill sergeant. And then you jump off a cliff. And just don't ever do it. Japan, though, you did get to go to Japan.
Starting point is 00:20:12 Yeah, yeah, I lived in Japan for two years. That was worth it. Sick. Damn. Barometer's worth it. Cars are worth it. It's the endgame. Retire and go to Japan. Retire and go to Japan. Take our whole families and Viya Mountain in Japan.
Starting point is 00:20:24 It's a beautiful place, man. Never been. Never been. And build a fucking castle. I'm trying to go so hard. Well, it's the only matter. I build a castle dog. Okay, castle, live in Japan.
Starting point is 00:20:35 Yep, live on Slam Mountain. Slam Mountain. Yeah, yep. We're all going there now. Well, it's just a matter of time for you guys because apparently what you have all taught me is that apparently, like, Slam is really gaining attraction in like the Asian territories.
Starting point is 00:20:54 Yeah, if you ask me, best slam will come from... Oh, fuck, yeah. Indonesia and Indonesia. Like, Japan and Indonesia. Anything that corridor of the fucking planet is hard. Yeah. I think it has something to do with the dirt that they have to set their gear up on.
Starting point is 00:21:08 It's like magical, bro. And it usually has. Jungle slam, bro. Like, Nile, but... God. Real. You know what I mean? National Geographic metal.
Starting point is 00:21:17 And it usually has Larry Wang involved. Love you, Larry. Shout out Ligger Wing. We need a Ligger Wing count. Oh, shit, sorry. I'm good. So, Wayne count.
Starting point is 00:21:27 Okay, so obviously we're talking that territory. So what are some bands? Fuck. Turbidity. Turbidity. Needle contaminated. Corvent.
Starting point is 00:21:35 Tampicopede. My man's. Glossectomy. Glossectomy. Disconformity. Yes, sir. Gorvent. Gorvent.
Starting point is 00:21:43 Rosted is no main. Yeah. From there. Is he? Yeah. Wait a minute. That's my boy. Is he?
Starting point is 00:21:47 That is the man right there. Oh, shit. I totally forgot there's a fucking TV. bro. Yeah, that picture right there on the top left. God. That is amazing. And the one below it, though. And the one below it. He's also works for, like, Cheyenne tattoo company, too. So he's, like, just
Starting point is 00:22:01 mega tattoos. Yeah, he's a mad sick tattoo artist. And he's always around mad sick tattoo artist. Hmm. Look at him. Look, there's Clay. Oh, my. I love you, Clay. Yeah, shut out. I know. You probably, you listen to this. I love you. Oh, bro. Nick Hill, Tal Walker.
Starting point is 00:22:17 I fuck that up. Damn it. He's going to kill me. Hey, yo. It's a strong scene. The world needs to know about bludgeon's. Yeah. Shout out, bludgeon. Yeah, I obviously know about John Huber, but it's time to get to know everybody in that band
Starting point is 00:22:28 and them as a fucking unit, like, all four of them. Like, phenomenal band. Bro, two days so far, and I'm like, brutal death. Yes. This is, like, what I haven't listened to in a month and a half, like, live yet. That's who our, uh, the last three days we're playing.
Starting point is 00:22:43 Is that's who we're playing with bludgeon? Bludgeon kicks ass. So they're sick? Hell yeah, bro. Yeah. If only we had like a long form where we could actually listen to songs and shit, like that'd be, that'd be a cool-ass type interview where you hang out with people and just fucking listen to Riffs. Not with us. I thought that's what we did every time we invaded the suicide silence bus just came with the JBL speaker. Blast and slam.
Starting point is 00:23:10 Everybody goes from, holy shit, what is this? It'll go from riffs to slow down circus music real quick. That good shit right here. Well, this is a band called this. Sean hit me up one time And he was just like hey man He was like You know I'm a big fan blah blah
Starting point is 00:23:23 And he was like I want to have you See about having you mix a song for me And I was like yeah And so it was bludgeoned And then I realized what I had in my hands And like like what it meant To people who gave a fuck like me So it was like
Starting point is 00:23:39 I felt like I had gold in my hands But I got to mix that shit And he was like I was like who's this on vocals And he was like John Uber And I was like oh my love word. I was like, do you know who Johnny?
Starting point is 00:23:52 No, but you know what I mean just excitement, you know, that getting to work with somebody that I deem a fucking legend, all of us deem a legend, and somebody that we respect very highly. And that dude is a madman. We've seen him beat the shit
Starting point is 00:24:07 out of some stages just the last two days. I'm about to see what he's going to do tonight. Were they from? Washington. Washington. Washington. Washington. Like Tacoma? Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah. We were up there huh yeah yeah what people don't know about about your band is that you
Starting point is 00:24:22 you all have literally like your ear your face entire body on like the whole slam scene oh yeah yeah like you guys you guys just start naming our bands and you guys just go yeah we're trying to pay attention because not because it's fresh but because it's it's it's we get to see slam evolve in real time yeah if you're not paying attention to it evolving then you're a poser you're a mad poser I only listen to shit slam
Starting point is 00:24:54 honestly if you don't listen to slam and only listen to rap like that's okay you know what I mean for some reason that somehow that works it's not okay
Starting point is 00:25:05 it's not the same way it's not okay because you could go to a slam show and still understand it the same way I mean we've had plenty of people that literally only listen to rap of literally never listen to metal
Starting point is 00:25:14 and they're like yeah I fuck with that like I get it change people's minds. Brainwashing. That's what the suicide sign story was a lot of, see a lot of people being like, holy shit, I get it.
Starting point is 00:25:26 Who the fuck are you? I get slam. People got to see you guys. Yeah. It's like, it's the whole idea. Like the band name to like the imagery. Shirts that I don't even know how you pull off.
Starting point is 00:25:39 It's crazy. Yeah. It works. It just works. We don't think it'll pull off. But we're just doing the same thing that we would do at home for our 15 fucking friends. Literally, that's it.
Starting point is 00:25:52 Like, we go just as hard at home. We go just as fast at home. All the dummy shirt designs. Like, everything that we do that you see us do, like, seen us do on the suicide silence run. That's what we, that's us. Flea market designs, bro. That's because we hit the flea market on Sundays, bro.
Starting point is 00:26:09 Shout out old pair's fucking flea market, dog. That goodwill merch. And 405 spot. 405 spot, bro. That's where we go when we need to buy some really good, fucking threads. When me and Jason get paid that's where we go and blow our money. I'm a Burlington's.
Starting point is 00:26:22 My man. There you go. Ross to. Yo, shout out Ross. If you are a band and not annually hitting up Burlington's Ross's Walmart's. Fucking city trends on tour, then
Starting point is 00:26:36 you're missing out on. Cheaping out. Cheap socks, cheap underwear. Cheap so. There it is. Shout out Rush Hour. It looks like that all the time. That's exactly what it looked like. That is exactly my life. That looks like your fucking van. I found one Air Force won one time and searched the whole store and never found the other one.
Starting point is 00:26:55 And I was like, fuck, man, it's my size. If it's gone and you're... $30.00 pair of Air Force's. Yeah. $39.99. $39. So the shirt concepts come from just you guys, but like you guys. That makes sense.
Starting point is 00:27:09 Yeah, yeah. We're totally just... Oh, my goodness. The I'm fucking gay shirt. We're fucking gay. Mad gay, bro. And I'll fight you in the street. about being gay.
Starting point is 00:27:19 But how do you get away with that, though? I don't know. All my homie's gay, bro. What the fuck you mean? It's like, we live in the middle of a gay neighborhood. Pretty much all of our significant others are all gay. Right. They're also, they're all some form of gay.
Starting point is 00:27:34 We are the minority if we were chose to be straight. That's home, bro. So yeah, we just be, it mostly like is group chat shit. Someone will say like some dumb ass shit in the group chat and they're like, put that on a shirt. That's the Friday shirt The Friday shirt That was literally just like
Starting point is 00:27:51 Yo we need to put that scene on Friday where they're like I had one on the way up the stairs Homo's and slams on the back That's hard as fuck I don't know I don't just see the laughter in this That could be a hit And this is how shirts get made
Starting point is 00:28:09 This is how we make shirts Yeah so but this is basically like this is like your All that one dude I fuck the best shit Zoom into that Zoom into it Look at this Wildness
Starting point is 00:28:21 My good Okay Austin I want to need to ask you to read Or so does someone Someone read that All right it says I got it No
Starting point is 00:28:30 That's got to be Jason Frosty Little Pee BVee Mae I flocked the basis Peely flesh for clout And all I got was this D shirt Oh my goodness
Starting point is 00:28:43 Bulls Yeah but But usually that would just be Like a text Funny or all laughing but then it ends there. You guys, you know what? No, we got to make it.
Starting point is 00:28:51 We got to make it immortal. We got to make it immortal. It's the habitual line crossing. Habitual line step up. I'm a bitch. I'm a bitch. He said, who the fuck you call him a bitch?
Starting point is 00:29:05 It's a Martin, right? It's crazy because I think people can subconsciously sense that it's truly you. Right. Yeah. You can't fake that shit. The genuiless. That probably would let us get away with a lot of things. Damn me.
Starting point is 00:29:19 If we try to pretend, that would be the weirdest shit ever. You know what type it is. Oh, shit. Oh, damn it. What number is that, dude? Four. Three. Three.
Starting point is 00:29:29 Oh, my goodness. It's like seven in Austin and Jason time. Yeah. So you... I'm more trying to answer, like, a serious question. Oh, sick. Last three days, Jason has had this thing. Autism. Aneurism.
Starting point is 00:29:48 So Jason's laughed like a... fucking Hong Kong foodie-ass fucking... He just laughs like this. Instead of laughing regularly, that's just what he does with the silence. Sick. So basically, like, your band started as a group chat. Yep. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:06 And you sort of was in a honeymoon in Hawaii, then you hit him up, correct? Yeah, what happened is me and Joe were in other bands. Funny story. Went on tour. Then we found out we were the guys in our band who liked Slam. So we were like, that's crazy. We're getting back to Oklahoma.
Starting point is 00:30:24 We're getting a cracking. And he was like, yeah, I got this dude named Soto. You know, I was like, oh, yeah, he's a producer up in O K-C. I'm a deucer. He's a deucer. You heard of me? Me and Soto always wrote Slam on the side, whether it was even recorded, whether it was just us just jamming. We learned a lot from each other.
Starting point is 00:30:43 Yeah, that's how we did our thing. We learned how to record and just write in the room. I think the first thing, first thing I ever came was for that loathing existence. track. That one never It'll ever come out. That's what they were doing. There's no relief. That was no relief. God. That was seven years ago today. Yesterday.
Starting point is 00:31:02 Yeah, hit him up on the honeymoon. So they heard you that guy who does that thing. He said, let me get married real quick. And I got you. And I was like, that's cap. I was on the airplane on my way back and I used the Wi-Fi on the airplane to message him like, yo, you still trying to do some shit? Like I literally saw like the honeymoon
Starting point is 00:31:21 pictures on Facebook. And I was like, all right, any day now. And he messes me like, hey, trying to do that thing. It's funny how it worked, because we were all in different bands, and then we were all out of bands at the same time. So I was like perfectly... Stars alive. What's funny is with me and Jason is he was in Omen,
Starting point is 00:31:42 and then Skyler wanted to kick him out of Omen and was like... Soto, take Jason, bro. He needs to do slam with you, bro. He doesn't want a tourer, bro. Come on, bro, please, bro. I don't think that happened, though. No, that really actually legitimately though. I don't think.
Starting point is 00:31:58 He was like, come on, bro. And I was like, no. I was in an omen, and I was, like, just trying to make slam. Right. That's what he was saying. That's what he was saying was for me to make slam. But, yeah, that was, like, steady trying to make slam. And then, just heavy stuff, brutal.
Starting point is 00:32:15 I met Joey and Evan. Shout out, Evan. Yep, shout out. Shout out. Shout out. Shout out. Bashed in. That's a topic.
Starting point is 00:32:21 Yeah. Yeah, it is. I met them and went to their house and we made a track for loathing. And then from there, it was like, we instantly clicked that first night. It was easy. I already knew.
Starting point is 00:32:35 I was like, yeah, this is like, you know when you meet you, like, you're the guitarist, so you know, like when you meet your drummer and you're like, this is going to work. Boom, you know. Yeah, that was it. It takes like a moment. Chemistry.
Starting point is 00:32:47 Yeah. Instant connection. You feel chemistry. Yeah. Chemistry is a good word. It's two wild-ass chemicals that could start a fire coming together. A big thing I like about a lot of good drummers, like, especially, like, just ones that are, like, in, like, all the bigger bands is, like,
Starting point is 00:33:02 I know I can, I mean, I can do my best, but, like, being good chemistry with other musicians without having to play with them. Yeah, yeah. That's a big thing, you know? It's a big thing. Like, going up having to fill in for y'all without being awkward and making it not sound good, you know, like something like that. Like, I'm going there and fucking do my shit.
Starting point is 00:33:21 You know, and try to... We were the people that... Add nuances of things from other people that will influence, you know. For some reason, we... Everybody just had this unspoken, prideful thing about them of, like... You want to tap that out on in the end? I'm gonna tap that out of me. I forgot to have moonrock in it. I'm stoned.
Starting point is 00:33:39 Oh, my goodness. Bro, can we put that out, though? We're killing these two people. I'm fine. Y'all want to hit this? Ha! Oh, my goodness. That purred keep me up.
Starting point is 00:33:50 Sweet. Huh? Huh? Woke up, popped the perk dirty, got straight to fuck it. Also what you did that you stepped up, it sounds simple, but just a lot of bands don't do. It's like you really stepped up, like, the production level.
Starting point is 00:34:03 It seemed like you kind of knew, like, this has to sound good. I'm gonna call him out. Soto used to be the most trash producer in Oklahoma. He was ass. Intentionally. I need that to be known. I need that to be known. That shit was intentional, dog.
Starting point is 00:34:19 And I believe it, because out of nowhere, he was just good. nothing. That piss was digital. The piss was digital. That's how I met Soto was when I was in Oman. He was the first band that we were the first band that he recorded.
Starting point is 00:34:33 Yep. First EP. When I decided to turn it into a business and I was like, okay, I'm going to try to record other people and try to like give them something that they can release and do their thing with. And that's how we met. He had long hair, kind of chunky.
Starting point is 00:34:48 Showed up in a fucking Mercedes-Benz fucking Nazi tank looking fucking Mercedes that took like 97 octane gas. I had that bitch for three weeks. That's why. Yeah, that shit was a fucking beast. Came over with his Ivanese Gio, sat down, we didn't really say shit to each other for like the first 45 minutes, but wasn't awkward.
Starting point is 00:35:07 So we just sat in silence and then he goes, John, John, John, John, John, John, John, John, oh, there it is. And I was like, what the fuck? I saw the, uh, when went to his house, the first thing I noticed was the flag of the, the Abominable Putridity for, like, And fucking...
Starting point is 00:35:23 What you know about slam? Right. And I said, What the fuck you know about slam? But he was like, no, no, no, for a for it. The fuck you know about slam? And I was like, nah, no.
Starting point is 00:35:30 There's one night. We went to, I think we went to like 89 to go to a show in the cutlass. Yep. Or something. I remember us right around the cutlass and that's when I showed him like Indonesian slam and shit.
Starting point is 00:35:40 And he's like, what the fuck is this? And then we stayed in contact for like, we talked to each other for like three days straight of just sending links back to it forth to each other. Like, I was at work and he goes, you ever heard of Gorvent? and I was like, nah, he goes, what the fuck? How to fucking say you know Slam,
Starting point is 00:35:54 but you don't listen to fucking Gourvent. It's exact words. And then he showed me the album with the torso with the barbed wire. Yep. That's, uh, I don't even remember. It's just, but I heard that. What's it called, Joe, you know. What, the GORVET?
Starting point is 00:36:09 GORVent. Insert Slam name here. G-O-R-V-V-E. Slam scam. Yes, but that's right, though, like that. G-R-V-V-V-O-V-O-S. Oh, shit, shout out this weed. That the fucking basis from after the burial gave us last night
Starting point is 00:36:23 I tried to chase this man down through the whole fucking venue and he was gone I just found this in my pocket I need to add this to collection Gorghumit That's what's up yeah I don't remember what that album was called but it's it's a pinnacle like pinnacle slash Yo shout out reputation yeah so we we don't know any of the record I don't I don't like uh I don't remember there it's on Spotify like it's on Japanese slam scram Like this literally looks like something I would click.
Starting point is 00:36:53 I'd probably pay for it too. Dude, whose idea was it to do the scale? That shit's dope. Oh, shit. That's a great idea. Was that untow for sure? That was my idea. I'm pretty sure. Abnormal exaggeration, that's what it's called.
Starting point is 00:37:07 Yep. I knew it started with that idea. I just couldn't remember. Abnormal exaggeration. Yeah. That one, but listen, what's detrimental, though, is the split, the worldwide slam-aside split that they did. Crepitation
Starting point is 00:37:23 Look at that You can't show that You can't show that Just know where you can show that Slam art be like No I hope people take a note Just a shock value Slam art, gold
Starting point is 00:37:34 Like people went crazy Over the human pudding cover Yeah That's so tame for a slam cover Very silent Yeah for real It's actually the opposite Yeah we did that as like a homage
Starting point is 00:37:44 To slam Like here Here's our one fucked up cover Like in that sense But a lot of the slam covers No, let me just go in Say we didn't really have a say so either With the female body parts in the background of that artwork
Starting point is 00:37:59 That was just something that was sent to us We were just like, yeah That's fine Next time we're changing that If only it could have been dicks Yeah, because we would have preferred men Getting their asses chopped up Oh my goodness
Starting point is 00:38:10 Pause like slamplation Like the slamplation artwork Let's talk about that Let's talk about slam artwork Let's so fucking boring now Corny Mad fucking corny dog Corny.
Starting point is 00:38:21 Yeah. Corny. Like, I'm not talking shit on my homies bands. I need y'all to understand that. We did that one as a reverse. Had the girls fucking up the dude. You know,
Starting point is 00:38:29 women. Now, have the girls fucking up that was for. Let's talk about it. Let's talk about it. It's cool. It holds its place. You know,
Starting point is 00:38:37 you got those album covers like from back in the day. If you are still making those same corny-ass, misogynistic. You're not evolving. It's, in 20-23.
Starting point is 00:38:48 Evolve, you dumb ass. grow up grow up take the garbage out front son take the garbage out front son but that's why like we used we started using
Starting point is 00:38:59 like the rap album covers that's why it's good yeah all down for a gory album cover don't get me wrong you're fucking up somebody on a shirt
Starting point is 00:39:08 or albums that's hard but is he pulling up the fucking all right let's go ahead and break up also
Starting point is 00:39:18 the reason why for samples also is because Because one thing we have figured out is half of our language that we speak to each other. References. When there's something that is said, we usually respond with a fucking movie sample. Like Bumblebee from Transformers. Hold on.
Starting point is 00:39:33 Hold on. Can you slow it down? Hit the playback speed. Where's the mouse? Do it. All right now back up five seconds right before he says it. We literally talk in sound clips to each other. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:51 Playback speed. Uh-oh. Yeah. Go to 70. Half. Half. Yeah, not hit play. My God.
Starting point is 00:39:56 This is peeling flush. Right here. Okay. I just realized what your band is. Yeah. We got it. I think this podcast was a big achievement. We learned a lot.
Starting point is 00:40:15 Well, we've been brought up on here so many times, like, because I think people, like, recognize the fucking dumbness that we are, and they brought it up here. It's just stupid. Now we finally get to, like, show fucking Garza's fucking crowd. stupid we are You guys are always slowing shit down It's gotta be slowed down DJ screw told us If it's slowed down
Starting point is 00:40:37 It's better No, Joe So that's where we got that from That's just a piece That's just a station piece It's just gonna I'm just gonna pick this up Shout out to Jivel
Starting point is 00:40:46 I wish Hello So do You're from Houston right No I'm from Oklahoma But I lived in Houston For a little bit Yeah
Starting point is 00:40:54 I lived there And I was bathed in culture and then I was moved and then back to the country. Jesus Christ. Because you talk about like 3-6 mafia a lot. You talk about DJ Screw and so that the whole slowdown thing, that's where you got it from. Oh yeah, because all three of us, all three of us like we love slow down music because of like DJ Screw shit.
Starting point is 00:41:16 It's so, it's so sad. So he died of overdose, correct, when he was 29? He died from hard conditions because of all the lean that he drank. Oh. But I mean, that's some real ass shit. Yeah, shout out DJ's crew. I mean, he said, fuck y'all. So they say, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:41:30 Conspiracy theory. A life in slow revolution. Yeah. I try to slow everything down as a child because of that he was like, I was like, oh, he did it with a record player. And my dad would get pissed because I'd fucking slow down. Fucking up the records. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:46 And he'd be like, why are you doing this? Oh, you're right, yeah. From cop syrup. Yep. To full-bone fever. Wow. That's crazy. My dad's on the screen right now.
Starting point is 00:41:56 He's only 29, huh? Yeah. He was, yeah. Fuck, so sad, dude. Wow. He was chosen to come here and leave a legacy and leave when he did because he has a legacy now. Nobody can tarnish that man's fucking legacy. That's used to.
Starting point is 00:42:11 Because I was a child getting fucking cassettes from garage sales and shit of handwritten DJ screw mix tapes that were sold from the screw shop that they sold. But people bought so many of them where they were handed out so much that people ended up like just giving them out. We're selling them at garage sales And that's how I figured out About DJ Screwed That was my second tattoo It was a screw tattoo My mom's corny ass ex-boyfriend
Starting point is 00:42:35 Used to listen to a lot of screw You shout out corny ex-boyfriend He was from Houston Can you hit that picture With the ESG That should look hilarious I'm trying to see that Which one?
Starting point is 00:42:45 Right there, right there, yeah Jesus I love ESG, bro That's the lead That's the lead Okay I never The way he's looking at it
Starting point is 00:42:55 like that? That's why they died from me. Fuck. That's why. Look at it. Look at it. Look at it. Yeah, but you see those diamonds in his teeth, though? He got the money to do that. That's fine. Hey, he had enough money to pay his own way out. Just 25 years off his life. Sorry. I'm not ESG, though. He's still
Starting point is 00:43:11 alive. What is? Oh, yeah. So what is it? I mean, I never drank that. I mean, what does that make you feel like? It slows you down. It's an opium. We used to dip that shit or dip our blunts in that shit when we were teenagers. Are you serious? Hell yeah. bro, that shit will fuck you up.
Starting point is 00:43:26 It's like... They compare... Everybody's... It's like liquid heroin pretty much. It's just a downer. It just makes you just down, sloppy,
Starting point is 00:43:37 just... Robo tripping. Yeah, I just thought of something, though. It's hood. Listen, robo-tripping. Crowbar on lean... Slowest brain activity. This needs to be an
Starting point is 00:43:47 Atlanta commercial for lean. Walk commercial. So is it is it also like the amount that you're consuming. Yeah. See how it's mixed. What it is is you take the sprite, you put the lien in.
Starting point is 00:44:04 The amount of lean that you put in it changes the color and the richness of the sprite. This is like when they showed you how to make crack on telling us. Oh, my goodness. If you see one a lighter color, you know, they broke. They can't put a whole bunch of lean in there. But if you see that dark, dark purple sprite, you know they got purple stuff. Look at that.
Starting point is 00:44:25 That needs to be sold. McLean? My God, is unfucked. I hate this, because I was like, yeah. Can that be the thumbnail? Does that come in a kid's meal? Okay, next shirt needs to be a white shirt. Mickleen.
Starting point is 00:44:39 Yeah, I'm pushing for some white shirts. People don't really like white shirts. They always stick around for a while, but I'm down for it. They sell. I mean, sometimes they don't, but sometimes they do. They just get dirty. They get dirty fast. Our very first shirt was a white shirt.
Starting point is 00:44:51 Really? Oh, yeah. The classic. Yeah, the bathtub execution Dude, that might be cool, yeah Look at that, bro That's fucked up We just haven't gone off
Starting point is 00:45:00 Somebody put the bags in here It's purple of course Actually speaking on the white shirt I think the dirty shirt Might be a trend Because we ordered Not just this one But the last tour
Starting point is 00:45:10 We ordered Some kind of brown dye On a white shirt Because it looked cool On like the picture But when we got them in person We're like It looked like a fucking dirty-ass shirt
Starting point is 00:45:21 It looked exactly People were buying it though That's shit It looks like a dirty-ass shirt. Once dirty, it always looked dirty, so it never gets dirty. There's a market. There's a market. I think it's in other countries, but there's a market.
Starting point is 00:45:36 People will buy, like, you shit for, like, expensive, like, a lot. Quote, unquote, vintage. Right, right, right. Vintage. But it's, like, shit that's actually been worn and, like, trashed. But they'll, like, buy it for a lot. I'm like, oh. Yeah, easy making his money somehow.
Starting point is 00:45:56 Weird. I have one more question about Lean. So since it, from what the internet has saying, it slows down brain function, okay? But I just don't get how, does that help you write music? Is that like a... No, it just puts you in a mood. For them, it makes sense because they was listening to rap.
Starting point is 00:46:15 Normal speed. And they were like, damn, what if this rap was the same speed as us? if you put on some screw that's like that would be the best way to explain it it's like the easiest way it probably makes sense after that
Starting point is 00:46:28 so now if you listen to Aaliyah one in a million you listen to the regular version no no no you listen to the regular version first and you hear the song
Starting point is 00:46:39 it hits you it definitely hits you now if you can listen to the chopped and screwed slow down version you know what I'm saying without feeling the need of being humorous about it
Starting point is 00:46:49 and just feeling the song itself being slow and the way that they chopped the music correctly the playback speed is still 0.5 this is amazing if you think a song is slow down you can take a club hype banger and turn that shit into an R&B song it's just that old classic quality
Starting point is 00:47:08 shitty yeah but if you take the same song y'all know nothing about this y'all too young for this yeah you all know about this listen to the B and then you write a slam over this now honestly go to
Starting point is 00:47:21 one and a million search one in a million chopped and screwed now it's a specific length because not everybody chops well not everybody chops their shit well this might be a good one
Starting point is 00:47:33 it looks presentable I don't know if this is the one that yeah yes that's lean oh okay now listen hear me out
Starting point is 00:47:45 hear me out okay now imagine being at your slowest this but also this tempo Okay. Okay. That's a hard-ass beat-down tempo. Right, right, right.
Starting point is 00:47:54 If you were to play some slam that speed, like, with that snare, too, that'd be hard as a son of a bitch. But that's just the way we think, though. We don't give a shit about genres. We care about tempo. Everything's a group. Fuck genres. Like, what tempo are you playing?
Starting point is 00:48:11 You know what I mean? Like, and how many times do you change it? I mean, that kind of really goes to think, like, how much... We do have a lot of hardcore riffs, a lot of beat-down riffs. You're a product to your environment. But they're just the way they're formulated with the vocals and the drums and makes it slam. It just comes from like going to shows and you'll see these amazing bands, but it just feels like sometimes they're missing that one thing.
Starting point is 00:48:38 What's the one thing you think? It just depends. Like if you have a brutal death metal band live, like they're blasting and that's cool, but then they're like missing a lot of groups. No, it's because they're choosing not to use it. They've heard it. They know it sounds like. They're choosing not to use it because...
Starting point is 00:48:50 I don't think it's that they're missing something. They're choosing not to cross the line of their genre. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because if you choose to do something that's kind of fresh, it's probably standing outside of the genre that you're probably in. That's why somebody's like, who, what is that? I think everybody likes to stay in their box. Right.
Starting point is 00:49:10 Fuck that. Fuck a box, dog. This is free rain, dog. Did you guys get any backlash from... the traditional metal scene. Oh, fuck yeah. And I live for all you fucking pussy motherfuckers.
Starting point is 00:49:24 Fuck you Jesse didn't. Fuck you Jesse didn't. I'm going to go and say it. My wife was like, we need to let it go. And I was like, yes, I understand. And of course, as soon as I get on here and I'm reminded,
Starting point is 00:49:33 fuck you, dog. You know, also, let me let you know, I've traveled the country, motherfucker and I've had, most of the people say, fuck you. People were like, they're not real slam. They're death corps being,
Starting point is 00:49:45 they're not real slim. Dang. Did you hear about that? Did we tell you about that story? I don't remember if we did. No. No, there was just a dude who was talking about, like, rob us on the internet. He was like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:56 Yeah. Talking shit saying it's going to rob us, saying that our band is shitty, saying that we're fake. Made a T-shirt out of your ass. Just trying to pick us, you know. And we ended up going. Finally, we played Chicago Domination. And I was only there for Saturday, so I don't know. I don't even know what the fucking happened.
Starting point is 00:50:13 Nah, just caught him after the show and just like. Not only that. called him out for 30 minutes on stage. Oh, yeah. His whole scene loved it. All three days. Because they don't like him either. Please.
Starting point is 00:50:23 So we were in Chicago like, fuck on. He turned around and seen me and Dee standing behind him and fucking walked off like mad quick. Like, he knew he didn't want to be caught by himself. So when we finally walked up to him, we made sure he had enough people with him that it was going to be a one-on-one fair fight between all of us that that was going to be the case. And we walked up and not one of your motherfucking homies want to do a goddamn thing. Fuck you and your homies, bro.
Starting point is 00:50:44 And don't let this go to the goofies. Didn't do a damn thing for you, bro. God, my goodness. Don't let the goofies think this is how you get your five minutes of fame either. My goodness. Because don't worry, we ain't going to try and do anything to you. We just laugh about your ass at dinner time. I'm just saying.
Starting point is 00:51:01 God, his ghetto fucking aneurysms are going off. Oh, shit. Dude, what? I mean... Hold on. You guys being from Oklahoma City, like, how is... Like, what's that, like, growing up there? Not Oklahoma City, but, like,
Starting point is 00:51:15 because Oklahoma City itself is a pretty big city. It's a big change. We've kind of lived outside. You lived in... I lived in Norman, Oklahoma, for like nine years. Right. And eight years in my life. That's where I grew up with Norman.
Starting point is 00:51:28 It's boring. Like, when you first leave and go play your first shows out of state, you're like, damn, Oklahoma does suck. There's nothing to do in Oklahoma but fuck shit. There's nothing to do but... It is comfortable, though. Nothing to do, but get fucked up, fight. Well, there's more fun things to do now
Starting point is 00:51:48 Because the Thames Slams Okay, C, The Thunder came to town And they brought money with them So like now we have a fuck ton of cool attractions now And some, and way better restaurants So I love Oklahoma City There's a, like a theme park with a bunch of roller coasters
Starting point is 00:52:03 Cisardale Park just built a venue that like I would dream of to play Yeah, there's cool venues like eight sides It's on a big hill kind of like an amphitheater kind of thing You know what I'm saying? We got masks movement in Tulsa, Charma, you know. Bring that love to Tulsa. Other than that, we ain't seen under that OKC thunder.
Starting point is 00:52:19 There was no Tulsa Thunder. You know, we got our shit popping off. Tulsa has always been way more thugged than OKC, though, because our first 48 and fucking OKC are they? They're in Tulsa. That's the evil side, right? That's the evil side. Three episodes.
Starting point is 00:52:35 Yeah, what's Tulsa? Like, we've only been in a few times, and we only know, like, Pink Eye. Murderous. It's, that, pink eye is definitely all you need to know about Tulsa. No, it's definitely, yeah. That's a venue. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:46 Pause. But no, Tulsa's cool. It's like every city. You go everywhere, everywhere it looks like ass until you hit downtown. You're like, oh, it's a structural ass. It's like, you know, we got buildings and everything. But other than that, you know, scenes usually super DIY to the core. Love it.
Starting point is 00:53:07 Like getting kicked out of venues because they didn't know we were having shows there type thing. Fuck that. We just got the VFW and said, we're going to have. have our own shit and regulate our own shit then. That's what's the way to describe. Shout out Stephen and fucking Backroom for making that shit. Oklahoma is definitely a VFW state. It's more than just Stephen. Backroom is a lot of people, but shout out backroom
Starting point is 00:53:25 has a fucking hole in the team at home. Because one thing that we know... They put on, help us put on like Slam Fest and stuff. We love everything that we've played throughout the country. And, you know, in the one-offs, we kind of been able to see a little bit deeper into the scenes in a couple states and shit like that. The one thing that we realize is Oklahoma keeps up with everybody and kicks ass
Starting point is 00:53:45 in a lot of fucking places. And it's like, it's beautiful to know that I have a beautiful home to come home to. Because like our scene kicks ass. I love going to our fucking small asses. You want to live show. In the week. Book a show in Oklahoma. Yeah. And listen, let me go ahead and tell you all motherfucking promoters.

Let them come to the VFW so we can get Ratchet as fuck. Awesome. Just very intimate. It's very close. We got a little stage that we can put in there It gets, we can pack 400 people in there

He's waiting for it. He's rescuing people in the jungle right now is what he's doing. Yes, look at him. Look at him.
Starting point is 00:56:07 Love that man. God. The only purpose of being in a band and having band members is just a guttache on him. Yeah, because I'm going to go ahead and say, because he would tell me, he would tell me if I showed him a photo of me on stage, he'd be like, damn, you're fatter now. I'm going to say, damn, you're fatter now. I told him, I told him it's going to creep up on him. No, it's fine, bro. He didn't believe me.

And then I went, I was like, where's the fucking band name? And then I go, we want, we want, it was. a smaller show and then a bartender's first thing he says to me oh peeling flesh I was like well okay

And all of us could have it. And then we made hoodies.
Starting point is 00:58:46 It didn't sell really well. Bad we. But it was worth it just so we could have our own. Because respected SUC. Please don't see this for the level of. It's one of those like, we spend enough money at that store. Honestly. We spent enough money at the fucking screw store.
Starting point is 00:59:01 Literally, we just spend our profits there. Okay. So, you could choose how far deep you want to go into it. But you went to South Africa and met with the shaman, correct? Holy shit, I was like, wait a fuck what the fuck are you talking about here for a second? And then I remember
Starting point is 00:59:20 the lore. That was awesome. Okay, okay, hit me with it. I need a reminder. Okay, so what did you think about on ayahuasca and then at what point did any I guess to... I ain't never done Iwaska. I was just fucking a dude. Literally
Starting point is 00:59:37 90% of the shit I was fucking saying all that to her like this out of like a crazy ass lore I would titually was like because that's but maybe not all of it you got to bring it up you got to bring it up you're abducted by aliens because some of it's true some of it you got me dude I fucking fuck you guys

Starting point is 01:00:08 it wasn't Iowazki it was fucking dick dude it was He's DMT. You know what I'm saying? And I had an experience meeting creator is what I felt. And that actually was a real thing. Like I said, it's sprinkled with truth.
Starting point is 01:00:19 I don't want to believe me anymore. Not, hey, bro, I did some fucking, I hit a point where I needed to see my own shaman. No, I'm being serious. I had to meet my own shaman and have my own ceremony. Me and my wife went through the ceremony together.
Starting point is 01:00:33 It was a beautiful experience. I learned a lot how I feel from my experience. I found a new appreciation for life. Didn't last long. But it was something that was
Starting point is 01:00:46 definitely detrimental to me actually giving a shit and continuing with music because I was done. You were done? Yeah, I was done, bro. I was done with everything. That was about that time.
Starting point is 01:00:54 It was that time. I already know. I was done, bro. I was going to be done with music. I won't going to be doing this shit, dumb more. I was going to give the rest of these guys the 900 that we had in our account
Starting point is 01:01:03 and call it a fucking day. What's thinking about getting rid of gear. Wow. Wow. And I just hit a point where I needed a tune-up, and it definitely seemed me up, a tune-up is a really good way to say it. So like I said, it's riddled with truth. Part of it is, I just told you in a funny-ass way. I said, that motherfucker's never been to South Africa. Hell no.
Starting point is 01:01:26 I was like, definitely not. He said, damn, this is a deep part of the interview. I'm from. Austin's from South Africa. Al Austin is that right now. What's our song we listened to earlier? No. You fucking idiots

Starting point is 01:02:13 You can't, I feel like once you're a musician, that's in your brain, there's no way, bro. That point in time I was fucking done. You could take a break, you take a long-ass hiatus. That was at the end of the band that shall not be named. Yep. And that's where that was. I love that band. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:26 Fuck that fucking Darth band. The, uh, that band saved my life. It saved my life. It's funny how you have a feeling, but someone else I have a completely different feeling about that. That's funny, huh? That's life. It's kind of stupid. I wish we could all just see it as a fucking band for what it was and call it a fucking day.
Starting point is 01:02:45 Fuck that shit. Yeah. So, Joe, you did, you had a experience? On accident. On accident? Twice on purpose, one on accident. Say the accident first, because this is a fucked-up-ass story. God damn it.
Starting point is 01:02:58 Y'all were on tour. That was the O-TM giveaway tour, right? You got home from? That was because we, so we started this week-long tour with one of my old metalcore bands here. No. Here. Fuck no. I'm going to light my own.
Starting point is 01:03:11 You want to edit? Okay. I should have tried. So we did this week-long run with diesel ban. I was in a metalcore band. We took a car that did not have heat in the middle of wintertime up to like Minnesota. So inside of the car was like 12 degrees. Like constantly.
Starting point is 01:03:28 Like we were dead sick. We were like driving on the road. I'm not even joking. Like consider just running the car off the road because that seemed like better than chilling in driving in that. cold-ass car. Like it was that cold. Literally, it was that cold. But I just come home and went to the dispensary. I was like, okay, I'm home. I'm going to get some weed. I'm chill. I had a gravity bong there that I made before I left. I got back and there's a new gravity bong. A different one. I'm like, cool. Okay, maybe. Evan was my homie Evan. Shout out.
Starting point is 01:04:01 Shout out back. I thought he just made a new gravity bong. So I was like, okay, cool, let me pack a bowl. And I didn't know that that was. was a ceremony gravity bong for doing DMT ceremonies. And you know it is going. Packed it, fucking took a fat rip.
Starting point is 01:04:16 Crucial mistake. And then the lights hit and just went could you fucking imagine. But I didn't know. We look at this gravity bong for a minute. Let's talk about gravity bongs or drugs. But for the first 20 seconds, I'll say I thought I hit like meth or like just some
Starting point is 01:04:30 something because I didn't know what it was. And I was like, okay, that was not weed. And then since I've done it before, I was like, that was a DMT. That's not good. I was sick, so I just, like, curled up in a ball on the couch for like 20 minutes. Pupils dropped quick. Mine was acid.
Starting point is 01:04:43 Yeah. For sure. I fucked my head up on the house. Yeah. A hole. Where? In the brain. Your brain?
Starting point is 01:04:50 In the right place. Yeah. Is that a... That's a long ass story. No, that's just a lifetime of, you know, not a lifetime, but a time of doing drugs. And then not doing drugs for so, so long. You know, shout out being actually, like, really, really drug-free, but still smoking hell. Cool to have good homies because I was doing Coke a lot and I loved Coke, but like one day I was in the apartment with like 10 homies and everybody, like one dude stood up off Coke and he was like, yeah, let's just stop doing Coke.
Starting point is 01:05:20 And everybody said, hooray. Finally, someone said that. Who would see that? That actually, that's a real story. Who would say that? And I was like, hell, yeah, all right. Same thing like, we used to smoke cigarettes. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:35 And then said I was like, yo, we're just going to quit. And then we did. Me, him, and my wife, family. All three of us quit at the same point in time. Put the cigarettes down. I hear that quitting cigarettes is one of the hardest things to give up. How did you do it? I don't know, man.
Starting point is 01:05:48 Touchroom vape. You know, try to quit fast food? Touchscreen vape. Just swapping it for another vice. I'm sorry. I'm probably still going to try and pass it to you. Yeah, let me tell you all something. The hardest shit to quit is like, like soda is the worst drug there is.
Starting point is 01:06:01 That is the hardest thing to stop drinking, yeah. Caffeine. It's impossible. Caffeine's tough. Caffeine. Roto's corn syrup. Yep. So many GMOs.

Starting point is 01:10:31 Okay. Was this another group? tech chain and stuff. This is a fun one. We were literally recording Samahog's Volume 2
Starting point is 01:10:40 and we had like a fucking Mickey Mouse School shooting sample. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. It was a everybody say
Starting point is 01:10:50 mystery mouse get tool and then it was like Facebook with a shovel used to not be in there but I was just like it's missing something and so I was supposed to turn that shit in
Starting point is 01:11:04 in like four days And I hit up Jamie and I was like my brother in Christ Please give me three extra days This is missing something It needs something right here And I cannot release this without fucking putting something here And he was like you know what I know your vision and I get it
Starting point is 01:11:20 I'll give you a week So I was like I six so I hit up Chris from fucking burn victim And I was like my dude Pull up burn victim Burn victim is essential To the beginning of this band Because the very beginning of this band was when we listened to this a lot.
Starting point is 01:11:38 Now this fucking band is hard. And they don't even really do stuff anymore and that's cool. I love that. I love that like if we did a tour together it's because they would like... It's because they wanted to do it, you know what I mean? What's their first album, or first EP called?
Starting point is 01:11:54 Oh, it's just the blue album and the red album. Yeah, I can't remember. Yeah, right there. That red album down there. Go down. That one says snakes. Yeah, snakes. That shit. That right there.
Starting point is 01:12:08 But I hit up Chris and I was like my dude, I am so sorry. I know you don't really know me, but like I would love to have you on a song. And he was like, man, let me hit up my homie and let me see if I can make it happen. Let me see if I can go over to his place and record it and I can send it back to you. So he went over to a friend's house and did it like three days later. I was like down to the wire, bro. Like mad down to the wire. I had to finish out all the mixing and mastering and get every single thing.
Starting point is 01:12:34 done and then do this part. So he sends me the track and I sat down and it didn't have the gap or anything like that in it and I heard it and I said, I know exactly what to do to this. And I took what he sent me and I just created that part with it and we had shot the video, the music video actually at that show had the Mickey Mouse sample. It didn't have the Facebook with the shovel part. So like for that, like that's just because that's how late in the game we got that part. But we knew that it had to be there.
Starting point is 01:13:06 And as soon as we heard it, we were like, this is way bigger than anything we thought that it was going to be. So it was like, it was everything that we didn't know that we wanted. Like it next leveled up for us. So it's like, of course that's what we'd want. Now we want gang chants. Nope. Now we want Slam gang chance.
Starting point is 01:13:25 It's our one song to where, like, because Slam, you don't, you can't really grab the mic and do the, you know, like grab the mic and do vocals. That's the one part that we have that people can actually get on stage and, like, grab the mic and do the vocals with us. It's just like... And because that's what... That's product of our environment. That's been, like, our samples.
Starting point is 01:13:47 Yeah. Literally last night, people are, like, yelling our samples, like in full. Dude. It was weird. They yelled the Crick Mac sample. They yelled the... Which is, that's, like Dee said, that's California song. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:13:58 Pretty much. Yeah. Yeah. Y'all stuck around. night even though all the other bands left all y'all's fans stayed and and watched and it was fucking fire tell them again it was sick yeah shout out the bands it did stay though you know what I'm saying like shout out more ya more say that right more yeah yeah because I fuck it 17 times yeah they were sick as fuck and they were hard seaside was lit seaside was awesome and it was in my
Starting point is 01:14:27 was expensive but it was look oh no yeah I didn't buy no weed I just smoked what I had because I got plenty and Kelly, I got to say, shout out wire wheels. Shout out Dayton's. Boom. Shout out Lil'B. Shout out Lil'B. Yeah. Yeah, people have really connected with your band.
Starting point is 01:14:45 It's kind of sick. I'm trying. I'm trying. Trying to. Because slam is exactly what you were saying earlier. It's not like something you would have like, you know, like singing along. Or, you know.
Starting point is 01:14:57 It's not exactly in like what you would expect. It's one of those things. Everybody comes up and they're like, man, I love y'all. Samples so much. The samples, man. Because you saw that movie when you were a kid and then you died laughing and then you didn't expect to hear that at this show you were going to.
Starting point is 01:15:13 Okay, that's why we changed samples at our shows. Like the music, I feel like music is something you can grab and hold on to and like get fuck I don't remember the word. But then the samples are also like that too where you can grab and hold on to it.
Starting point is 01:15:28 It's a piece of them. Yeah. Because it's a memory and sometimes it can be a core memory. The connection. Yeah. Sometimes those movies were the only time that you get the laugh. Right, right. You never really know what the hook's going to be. Look a D in that fucking picture, bro. Dude.
Starting point is 01:15:42 Beast as fuck, though. Look at the mortician shirt. Look at the stage, though. Can we zoom in on how nasty that fucking stage was? That's awesome. Chris and the Nike's up. Congrats. $100 for a lick.
Starting point is 01:15:56 Whose idea was it to throw in the Ovan sample? Are you the first band to sample of a podcast? That was, yeah. That was me in Soto. That's funny. Me and Soto, Soto used to, I used to go to sleep at 5 a.m. Because I got off work at 12 a.m. And I'd wake up at 4.
Starting point is 01:16:13 And I'd wake up at 4 and I'd go to work. And that's where a lot of samples happen. We just start sending them. I'd have ideas in my sleep or have ideas the night before. And then, or I'll see something that morning on shit. And we send them right away. Or I'll wake up to emails from Jason or videos from Jason. Jason will send some too.
Starting point is 01:16:34 And Austin will send some, and Joey will send some sometimes, too. I'll say shit. Sometimes you do. Sometimes you do. You also have a choice in the samples, too, like if we use them or not. Like, we do it as a group agree or disagree. The weird noises and things. Yes.
Starting point is 01:16:50 Shout out Joey's fucking vocals that he's done on our releases. Barely. Yo, shout out Chris, there he is right there in that photo. Boom. From Burn Victim. And that top left photo that says emergency exit. When Theo says my My favorite type of weed
Starting point is 01:17:06 That's the only time of the day that he's soaked and take his shirt off Favorite type of weed is cocaine My goodness That's probably a lot of truth there For like for like for I don't know Me and D were in the van driving Just mindlessly and I said I don't know man
Starting point is 01:17:20 My favorite kind of weed is and he goes Weed I was like right His humor is it's It's just so unique I get what he's saying Is he from Florida? I think he's from Florida?
Starting point is 01:17:32 Louisiana, correct? That's big Florida man energy. Louisiana makes sense, too. Louisiana makes a big swamp man energy. Shout out swamp people. I love y'all. Where's Theo Vaughn from? Swamp land. Louisiana Swampland. He's singing in with Crowbar or something.
Starting point is 01:17:48 Look at that fucking Mollet. Shout out Crowbar. Shout out Theo. Shout out Theo and Crowbar. Yeah. Theo looks like he'd play fucking Crowbar, didn't he? That sounds like it's in the sixth. Covington, Louisiana. Is that where he's from?
Starting point is 01:18:00 No. Hold on. RELMANN. Theodos Von Fylaford. Theodafus Von Philiford. I got a Capolini. Oh, that's that
Starting point is 01:18:12 Creole. Capitani. That's that Creole. That's that Cajian. Von Kurnatowski. He fucked up letting us get a hold of it. I got a couple geeky questions. What's correct? What do you personally
Starting point is 01:18:25 think is missing from the slam scene? Heart. A lot of heart, a lot of soul. Realness. Pause. samples are missing people are trying to make money off of it the fuck are you doing
Starting point is 01:18:39 that's us we're trying to make money I mean to a point every band has to make their money yeah but like there's bands that make that their entire fucking real egotistical fucking personality the money is the last part for sure yeah it kind of goes back
Starting point is 01:18:53 to the album cover thing like we take ourselves seriously but we also don't take ourselves seriously at fucking all when we don't have to. Yeah, I think Slam is like, everyone's like, not have to be like, you know, this hard, gory piece of shit.
Starting point is 01:19:10 You got some conservative-ass Trump supporters with your fucking music sometimes. Facts. It's a weird. That is kind of true. I've heard someone say that. Yeah. That's what it's like.
Starting point is 01:19:20 Conservative as fuck. Just elitist. It's a very elitist genre. And I think that might be why we have, we like, kind of, you know. Have the haters that we do. Have the haters, but also on the rise because we kind of reject.
Starting point is 01:19:32 I love you, haters. But, like, also embrace tradition in a way? I don't know. You can't listen to it and deny that it's slam. That's slam. You're all caring too much
Starting point is 01:19:42 about these lines, though. Who gives a fuck? We all on this planet and that bitch is round. I think about it. That was such an intelligent disc. Right. Right.
Starting point is 01:19:54 What just happened? Big brain dis. I don't know. Like, people are too worried about the genre-crashing shit. stupid because you really should just like at this point like when you're grown and shit it should just be like you either fuck with metal or you don't yeah this either heavy or not sure yeah that's stupid it's true because if you like heavy
Starting point is 01:20:15 music you'll probably figure out you like slam just metal just heavy yeah as long as as heavy is cool like fucking yo I love trivium that don't sound nothing like this you know what I'm saying pause I love sepilitar I love fucking Soto's a huge Metallica fan I like Metallica slowed down
Starting point is 01:20:37 I do not like regular speed Metallica Just personally just because Something wrong with that Stupid-ass masculine I don't know Maybe it was the documentaries
Starting point is 01:20:48 The documentaries Rondit for me I didn't need to know So much about their personal life That shit fucked me up Master of Puppets slow down It's kind of cool Like it's cool
Starting point is 01:20:55 We're doing this interview But I don't want y'all guys to know about the bullshit We deal with them between You know what I do? I do. Let's get it out. Come on.
Starting point is 01:21:03 Right, right. Like the crackhead from last night. Oh, my God. Let's fucking talk about the crackhead. All right. New section of the Garza podcast. Portland, fucking Oregon. We thought you were cool.
Starting point is 01:21:15 We thought we were going to get out of there. Un-fucking Skate. We were going to hit the gas station, use our little gift card that fucking Willie Nelson gave us. Our last one put on our little last $60. He loaned us for some gas. And Jason opens up. the passenger door gets out and I go to hop up to get out of the fucking van and I look and right
Starting point is 01:21:36 behind where Jason is standing is a motherfucking crackhead dog I'm talking she is staring right at me like a fucking Tim Burton movie I beams like Tim Burton character level fucking crackhead dog proceeds to like go crazy and try to like get in the van holy fucking shit it's a fucking crackhead like goes crazy like starts yelling trying to get in the van and is like she's like Can you take us with you? Or can you take me with you because that's about what she looked like except she was a redhead and she was mad short and just. Man, it's terrifying looking. I tell you, we drove off.
Starting point is 01:22:12 No, bro. And she tried to drop on the hitch. She did. She jumped in between the van and trailer. So we had to like slam on the truck. We were nice. We were nice as long as we possibly could be. And she tried to literally climb in where Jason was at and Jason was trying to shut through like, yo, please, please, please.
Starting point is 01:22:28 don't get on our vehicle. Please don't get in our vehicle. She looked mad, dirty. Like, no disrespect. It was fucked up because we were going to get gas at a, like, you know, show. That said it was open. We wanted food and everything. We pulled up and it's closed. And we open our door. Crackie stands there.
Starting point is 01:22:44 Like, jump in the car. Open the door and a new friend is there. A new fighter has approached. As we were driving off, she was like running after the van. Yeah, we look in the rearview. Like World War Z like sprinting, bro. I jumped out that fucking. I said, don't you stop at this red light.
Starting point is 01:23:01 Bro. She comes up, you run it. You turn. I jumped out that van. I was like, get that. That's, that's. That's, that's. That's about what she's looking like.
Starting point is 01:23:08 That's close. Pretty close. That's close. So sad, man. But she was like, she was like, oh, um, I'm running from somebody. And I was like, who? And she was like, somebody. And she was like, I called the cops.
Starting point is 01:23:18 I was like, well, what they say? She's like, they dropped me off here. I was like, well, obviously they felt it was. At a closed gas station in the middle of nowhere. Yeah, can you click the, okay. Everything was a lot. she was saying. So, first of all, hold on.
Starting point is 01:23:33 19 crackheads ideas. And then the picture itself. $17. Now that's gangst. Hey, yo, shut out, Viper. Shout out Viper for real. I can't have Macon. Oh, look, Tyrone Biggums.
Starting point is 01:23:48 I can't have Madigan. Shut up with Crackheads. Shut up. Oh, yeah. What's that? Can you click the bottom left picture? Oh, my God. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:23:55 I'm losing my mind. Garza said I ain't never bringing this damn TV to it in view against it. He said, and bring some bitches. The Bipples. This is a round of one, guys. It's all good, dude. Crack and Steve. All right, I got a key question.
Starting point is 01:24:11 What amps are best for modern and slam? This is where y'all ain't utilizing. This is really, really where y'all ain't utilizing. 5150s, baby. Not even just that, really. Joey knows how to fucking build the most gnarlyest slam tone. in Reaper. Like, y'all tripping
Starting point is 01:24:29 if y'all think that, like, Reaper and the plug-in possibility thing isn't sick because 90% of the albums that y'all be listening to was probably tracked on a VST and was probably blended with your final guitar tone. That right there is the ultimate tone, line six,
Starting point is 01:24:45 on insane. Half drive. That's everybody's, like, that's a... Scoot those myths. That should have been in Toys R Us, you heard? Just a little pedal like that for kids to play with. Can you imagine. You got to put it on insane, and then
Starting point is 01:24:57 you got to turn the low, the Mizz and the troubles all the way up together. Well, I think we've achieved a lot of cool tone using the AxeFX. Listen, I'll go ahead and say we've got a pretty expensive rig, but we're basically just making it sound like line six on insane. Just really, really loud. Hell yeah, the metal zone. Mad chainsaw, baby. The professional version.
Starting point is 01:25:20 The professional version, exactly. I mean, that's what it is. We're using the Axe effects as a distortion pedals and a preamp. but we're using the power amp section of his 5153 and my Mesa Badlander. Yo shout out Mesa and shout out Fender for that shit. Because those are the two slam machines. Yep. 513.
Starting point is 01:25:40 You can do it with so many other things. Yeah, I get it. But that 5153 EL34 model, you can use that bitch with no pedals. Garza, what do you use? It just sound like that. Last 10 seconds of life. That's all you. What head do you?
Starting point is 01:25:53 Fire. $6505. 2? I got the actual 515. 52. 52. That's the cleansing tone. Yep. Hard. Yo, I got to play through that one night. Just one night, I got to
Starting point is 01:26:05 play that through the power ramp section of that head. Crazy. And mad respect, and thank you to Tyler, and thank you to Garza for letting me do that because that made me extremely happy to do that. I'm a gear nerd, bro. I'm a gear nerd. I miss Tyler. I miss Tyler. I fucking miss you, Tyler. Jesus, bro.
Starting point is 01:26:21 He's a great guy, man. Hope Tyler is somewhere high as hell right now. I love you, Nolan. He is, man. Yo, I got a question for you. All right. So playing guitar was, how did,
Starting point is 01:26:33 uh, how did, did you always like stay on fenders? No. I mean, I've been, uh, cleansing stuff is like,
Starting point is 01:26:40 Ibanez, EP stuff as I've been as seven strings. Because obviously when Korn came out, like the, like those, those RG sevens for all over eBay. It's basically what I did. Right.
Starting point is 01:26:50 I just keep buying RGs. I want, but, uh, I got the Fender Semi-Streen stream like three years ago. and I was asking prior to that two years so they finally realized I wasn't going to fucking stop knocking on the door
Starting point is 01:27:03 Is that because you like Jim Rout? I need it. Is that because of a love for Jim Rout? No, it's just, I'm just a Fendery guy. My first guitar was a Fender Strat but obviously didn't have seven strings back then so just... That's what it reminds me of, but the fucking
Starting point is 01:27:18 badass fucking us version is what you have. The seven string fucking version. I love the Jim Rout six because I'm a big Slip Not fan. but like I love yours more than the Jim route because that's the seventh string it's a longer scale yeah it's all modern specs but just on a on my bad I know that was hello random but yeah yeah fine guy one trying to get a second and third one those are clean what do that you should do
Starting point is 01:27:49 that color scheme good yeah it's hard yeah it's hard that white and black it's like too jimmer did kind of open up the door for me if he if if if if if they have experienced with him first. Me coming in with that one and seven things I would have been in with it definitely a no-no it could have been a disaster
Starting point is 01:28:03 yeah and you're still EMGs right EMGs currently just trying to experiment right now you know what I can't fucking find
Starting point is 01:28:09 you there's there's no macy cabs anywhere in a fucking country I was oh I got two at home fuck you
Starting point is 01:28:16 well I was I was not I'm saying like shit you want him dude I was going I was going on a fucking
Starting point is 01:28:20 offer up every city there's nothing it's like is it like is it like a scarcity you think like reverb
Starting point is 01:28:26 would be like hardcore kids are mine them. Wow. That's what it is. I just want two straight, traditional Mesa cabs. You have those? I like the slanted
Starting point is 01:28:38 because I'm always forced to have to stand close to the front of my cab, and the slanted will point it at me a little bit more than a straight cab will. But I love the sound of a fucking big square cab more. That's why I think I really, really love our Vaders. Shout out Vader.
Starting point is 01:28:54 I'm trying to get two more cabs. I'm trying to get you out of build me. base cab. Trying to get some oil. Trying to get some oil. Sick. I'll go with the water and let's get out of here. Yes.
Starting point is 01:29:06 The show has him too. Sick. Yes, sir. Well, shit. One of the reasons right there that we chose to go with Vader is because we've seen images like that in our life. You know what I mean? I like how they put the logo on there.
Starting point is 01:29:16 It's pretty cool. Respect. Respect to Vader for coming back and hooking us up. Boom. And making sure we had our shit in time for the fucking tour. Yep. That's sick. Right there.
Starting point is 01:29:25 Look. There is. We made it. We fucking made it. Wow. Mad blurry, shot on a potato. This is a big moment. Yeah, man.
Starting point is 01:29:35 It's cool. On the rise. Yeah, much respect to everybody that legitimately helped us get here. I mean, because we didn't do this on our own. Don't think that we did this on our own. We did this because of the love and respect and the help from our home and all of the people in the industry that fucking helped us, like yourself. Okay, see you, baby.
Starting point is 01:29:51 Yep. Because we're laughing and having a good time right now, but it's the end for us. now we get to go home. We get to go replenish. We get to record the album. We're kind of manic right now. We're kind of manic. We haven't had that Garza fly back, you know, chill.
Starting point is 01:30:08 No, we got to drive home. We're laughing, having a good time now. We used to laugh and have a bad time. Because no matter what, we're going to laugh and we're going to have a time. Whether it's good or bad, I don't give a fuck, dog. Like, because life sucks already. Why the fuck we're going to make it worse? Does, man.
Starting point is 01:30:25 We're all on a seen planet. Right, and that bitch is round, dog You really are stressing the round, right? Yeah, you're a flat earther? I mean, if you believe in lines, you're like a flat earther. Believe in lines. But when you hear people talk, give their argument with the flat, you're like, wow, interesting.
Starting point is 01:30:41 I'm like, stop thinking. Right, stop. It kind of makes sense. It kind of like changes your brain. It's weird. Kind of be making sense. They got their points. But most lies do.
Starting point is 01:30:51 Oh, fuck. No, they're just choosing not to look past where they can see. That's where we live. That's perzy. Look. Like, I don't understand how people don't see the roundness in the sky. I'm high as fuck. If the earth is flat, how do we sink?
Starting point is 01:31:04 Okay, but this is my thing, though. How does water, how does water water? I guess how thick is flat earth? Right, there we go. You'd be able to see, look, you'd be able to see the corners, you fucking dumbasses. God. So people think it's more like, it's like an island. It's like an avatar island planet thing.
Starting point is 01:31:23 Floating village. My favorite, that's why you can't go to Antarctica. My favorite is all the round planets and then the flat planet, the flat Earth, and then the round planet, round planet, round planet. Shout out Halo. Shout out Halo. Hell yeah. Damn, was Halo flat? Halo was kind of flat.
Starting point is 01:31:40 Halo was flat. It was a ringy. It was a ring of thee. It's ring fordford. That's what flat earthers think right there. They play too much Halo. Sick. They play enough Halo, actually.
Starting point is 01:31:49 That's what that means. I know we're trying to brainwash people. do we do we uh accomplish that yeah brainwashing has completed I have brainwashed all of them
Starting point is 01:32:02 oh yeah that's where it started yeah that's true everybody everybody likes slim not only in slam you don't know it brainwashed

Starting point is 01:32:24 have the slip knot? Is this is the thing? Yeah, yeah. I think he finally just released his statement. Did he? A little bit, but he didn't say what happened. He respectfully said that he was going to continue to do music. Shout out Jay Weinberg. I love you, dog.
Starting point is 01:32:37 I just wish that. Let's start a band. Boom. I just wish there. I was heartbroken and blindsided to receive the phone call. Well, at least he got a phone call. Not a phone call. I hate the professional like
Starting point is 01:32:50 save face post. Like, I want to see the hood rash shit. Like, I want to see the... Yo, fuck that. The group shot screened. He got his water turned on in my name, and he ain't paid the bill in six fucking months. I can't get a new house
Starting point is 01:33:03 because he still owe money in his name from whenever he lived there before. It's a bad thing. He's not fucking Judy. If I got kicked out of appealing for some reason, that's not the post I would make. What would you say? What would you say?
Starting point is 01:33:17 I'd say, mow. The windmills are kicking up all the pollution. I was heartbroken. Like Chromium 6 from Lake Thunderbird. Yes, sir. You knew, I know exactly what you're talking about. I remember seeing that shit. Well, the best to Jay and the best to the band.
Starting point is 01:33:33 Nah, he's got a rep. Somebody typed that up for him. Yeah. I thought that too. Yeah. That's what I'm saying, because there's no way he'd... He fuming, dog. He's that.
Starting point is 01:33:44 Air that bitch out. Air that bitch out, bro. Take the whole band with you. I know he put holes in his drool after that. All band is gone. So what a 21st average say? I pull a bat. Dude, you know what?

Starting point is 01:34:24 talking to each other at the whole time. That's why, that's, that's the purpose of being close. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Talk to each other. It's just, that's how it is, man. Fucking Jason's feet. Can't take, you can't take, you laugh to you seriously. What about Joe's feet?
Starting point is 01:34:36 What are you talking about Jason's feet? He's all these drumming feet, he's thinking. Hey, well, I don't really take my socks off that offence and so you ain't got to see the dogs. I put my new socks on every other than. No, they're pretty, they're chilling. I'm right to get home. I got one last pair of underwear. And that's why Ross and Burlington's are so detrimental.
Starting point is 01:34:52 Yes, sir. That was a full-s-girl moment. Because you got motherfuckers like Soto on their last draw. Oh, man, we got to make a stop. That's last G-string. I got a massive drool. I need to buy some drools. Well, Pilling Flesh, it was honored to share the stage with you guys for a full month hanging out.

Starting point is 01:36:55 Like all those places. I'm sorry, the reason why I said everywhere is because my brain wouldn't load. I think that's a problem most of us have, but one minute. My brain's not loading right now. Did we say shout out I am yet? I just said that.

If you want to buy merch, it's actually going to directly help us. It's got to be in person. Or it's got to be from the big cartel from slamnasium.bid.com. Like, that's the only way that we really get direct money for it that actually goes towards stuff that, like, we used to get out on the road and hit the road and go places.
Starting point is 01:37:44 Gear and such. Like, we work our asses off at home to make sure that we have everything we need before we leave for tour to make it as successful as possible. so we can give people the most dumbest, best show that they've ever experienced. They're going to be like, wow, I am stucks, way stupider now because I've watched them live. Put your bourbons in the air. Yeah. Damn, what is that? Appreciate it.
Starting point is 01:38:05 Put your vapes in the air. Hope you guys have fun. What is that some bootleg shit? Pick up the bootlate merge online. Yeah. Love you guys. Love you. Thank you.
