All right, it's the Christmas extravaganza episode of KFC Radio. Right now, I am wearing my Tommy Johns because they were stuffed all up in my stocking, John. That was the number one gift I got. I told everyone I needed more boxers, and I told them I only wear one pair, Tommy John's. So I got five different pairs of Tommy John's stuffed all up in my stomach.

I had seen a MeUndies commercial. I don't know if I can say that. And I just started trashing them. I actually ended up giving my brother a pair of Tommy John's. I was like, try these. Don't even listen to that nonsense. Upgrade your game to Tommy Johns. I mean, I took them out.

They were my stocking stuffer, and then I stuffed my dick in there. That's just how it works. It's not visual, but it's a good boxer short or boxer brief, I should verify. TommyJohn.com slash KFC, and you'll get 20% off your order. Spend that money now because you got yourself some gift cards, and you got yourself, you know, your Nana probably gave you like 50 bucks and a card. Spend it on some Tommy Johns.

We got the Lost Kings on the program, two of the up-and-coming guys on the music scene in the EDM world who sat down with us, and we're talking all sorts of shit about the top DJs in the game, Diplo and fucking Tiesto and those guys. Lost Kings, they're coming for next, dude. That was a fun conversation. I'll tell you what, quite eye-opening as well.

Yeah, for real. Before we get into anything, can we just address something? We're Skyping, obviously, because no one's in the office. I am just staring at myself. You too? Oh, yeah, of course. Absolutely. I'm just focused on this small little box of me.

Let me tell you something. It's a good thing that I'm focused on myself because look at you jeez christ i haven't gotten a bed i got i got out of bed today just to watch a simple favor did you did you trim it up i feel like you did yeah i got i got told that that should uh that should get a little trim before thanks god christmas dinner yeah you were starting to look like the cowardly lion from wizard of oz it was it i'll tell you what a little little trick for everybody if you have a beard that grows out right grow it out for a bit shave it lose 15 pounds made yourself fat and then took it all away it's's just brilliant. I'm going to just keep doing it. I'm like, Oh yeah, I need to lose 15 pounds. Give me two weeks to grow a beard. Good. What a, what a genius.

I'm going to just start wearing like extra small shirts and then I'm going to put on a large and be like, look at all the weight I lost. Like, well, we fit again. Uh, so I'm, I'm happy to hear that you had to, uh, to trim it up for Christmas dinner. That means that, you know, you were celebrating dinner, you were celebrating Christmas and up for Christmas dinner. That means that you were celebrating dinner. You were celebrating Christmas and doing appropriate family things. Me, my friend, I have

seen the light. I am like fucking those people in Bird Box. I'm pulling people's eyes open being like, the Jews had it right all along. Order Chinese food. Watch movies. Fuck your family. I have seen The Light, John.

Come on. It'll never be the same. I can't even tell you how much I enjoyed myself just watching The Avengers on Netflix and ordering tons of Chinese food and not doing stupid shit with people I don't want to do it with. It was brilliant. It was like, I mean, I, I, I like it. I, I enjoy the, the family time. I did. I did watch the Avengers. I did watch bird box. I did watch a simple favorite just now. I've, I've gotten my movies down,

but, uh, I just did it pathetically alone. It's fine. I'll tell you what, man, I know what you're talking about. I know what you're talking about I know what you're talking about there was a time when I was very uh sentimental as well I wanted to be with my family not so much this year so I got my so dude this is I have to give an enormous shout out to any single dads out there because I'm starting to see the racket you guys have been running and now I'm getting it. I did Christmas Eve. I had my kids. I blew it out of the water. Santa came early. He came to my house. We do the whole thing. I pack them up and says, see you later. And I get to do whatever I want. It was amazing. How long have you been solo? Well, not really long. To be honest, I actually went over Christmas Day as well. It's a mentality, John. It, to be honest, I actually went over Christmas day as well.

It's really, it's a mentality, John. It's a state of mind because I had him Christmas Eve and then I went and saw them Christmas morning. So I actually didn't miss any time with them, but it was that in between period at nighttime where I wasn't doing things I don't want to be doing anymore. Yeah. I can see that. Makes all the difference.

I, I, that's like, again, as you, as you're learning, that's my night every night, and it's pretty good. I wasn't traded for much. Well, see what you just said. You still watch the Avengers and Bird Box and Simple Favor. In years gone by, if I was talking to you right now, I would not have seen those things yet. Yeah.

You know? So now I'm able to do these things and enjoy myself. And it's, I'm just saying I, you know how I, I, I, I had the confession that I found out I'm like 0.001% Italian.

Yeah. How was the seven fishes at dinner? You fuck. Well, this is the thing I've been making fun of the Jews so long for how they do Christmas. And I turned out, it turned out that was pretty good. Maybe fun of the Jews so long for how they do Christmas, and it turned out that was pretty good. Maybe I'm going to have to eat the seven fishes too, John.

Who knows? Don't go that far, Kevin. Next year I might be eating the calamari with the fucking gabagool and some of this stuff. You never know, man. It was a special Christmas indeed. I have – Did you get any presents?

I got one present. What Did you get any presents? I got one present. What did you get? My sister got me a gift card to Nike. I promptly hopped on. I made myself a custom pair of blazers that are pretty dope. I was a happy man. There you go.

Yeah, I was like, okay, I only got one thing this year, but it's exactly what I like to spend my money on. So I had a haul this Christmas, but but then everyone kept telling me my mom was like no you had the bad christmas so now i just think i had a bad christmas even though i was so happy christmas morning i mean like even my aunts and uncles were like your mom's been telling us you were gonna have a shitty christmas like yeah she kept telling me that too but i'm i'm happy like i got it look at this how could i be mad with a record Oh shit Your boy got the vinyl

For Greatest Showman Come on he opened that right away It's like best Christmas ever Now I mean what are you going to do with that Look at it What are you going to do with that I'm going to play it on vinyl You have a fucking record player

You do? Yeah. No, you don't. I said, do you want me to pick it up? I got it for Christmas too. Now I get it. Now I understand. Okay. You're beginning to think that your mother, just at all times, is exhibiting mental warfare

over you. I don't know why, but like, hey John, hey John, it's your mother. Christmas is going to suck this year. I was happy. Now I don't know. Now I'm not sure. What'd she say when you had it? You gave her a sip of your old fashioned. She would have a sip. She just smelled it. She's like, let me, let me see that for a second. She's like a smell. She just goes, oh, sounds like I'm 17 again. I was like, who the fuck's drinking old fashions at 17? What are you, a woman?

Polly! My girl! I ruffled some feathers on Twitter when I said that there's two types of people in this world. Either people who don't like scotch or the people who lie and say that they do. People are not happy

with that really i had a bunch of uh people coming in my mentions my menchies saying that i have an uneducated palate i mean that's that's stupid people like what they like that's fine i enjoy i enjoy scotch i actually find scotch a bit too watery. Scotch doesn't have enough bite. I was going to say, now, okay. All right. All right. Let's, let's, let's hash this out. When you say you like scotch, you mean that out of all the drinks that get you drunk, you don't, you you're okay sipping on that, right?

Like when you know like could you grab a fucking like a bottle of scotch and take a huge swig and be like that's delicious yeah i mean that's not how well i mean no i wouldn't drink it like a gatorade when i'm hung over a dog that's what i'm saying like it's it it's all like i think we were talking about drinks that get you fucked up the goal is to get fucked up. And the taste is like the best that we can muster while still poisoning our bodies. No,

it's like the experience. It's all about the experience. I like the, I like the experience of that. And that's flavored in that's, that's, that's factored into the flavor. It's nice.

This is, I totally agree that scotch and nice whiskeys and all that shit is about the experience you have this 25 year old age bottle you get the nice tumbler out maybe you do it over like one one of those ice the fucking big ice cubes the whole thing makes you feel high society makes you feel like a man you have a drink that you can order but actually drinking it doesn't taste good john i mean I mean, I like it. I enjoy it. Again, no, I wouldn't funnel it,

but that's not how it's meant to be drank. I enjoy drinking it the way it's meant to be drank. The actual literal taste buds. Yeah, I'll let it sit in my mouth a bit, and you kind of close your eyes like, ah. You almost take it like a hit where you feel it. You're like, oh, there it is. You feel it go down nice and warm down into your belly.

It's a whole thing. It's like taking an elixir. All right. I understand all that. We are on the same page. I get all that. I'm just saying, but to the people with the educated palates out there, shut the fuck up.

Yeah, I'm totally with you on that. Anyone who says they have an educated palate or whatever can fucking suck a dick but as like I mean there's no there's no other alcoholic you want to drink just straight right like I mean like people drink vodka straight if you're Dennis Leary in Rescue Me but uh

well that's the thing I mean I like smoky drinks I like smoky things in fact I like smoky liquids I. I like smoky drinks. I like smoky things. Yeah, but even like... In fact, I like smoky liquids. I do not like smoky foods. I hate barbecue. I think barbecue...

Yeah, man. When we went down, we were in Florida. We had that barbecue. It was just like eating a fucking pile of salt. Yeah. Like, just give me the cornbread. Let's call it a day, huh? That's all I eat at barbecue.

I'm like, cornbread and mac and cheese. That's it. I don't need smoked ribs and heavy dripping pulled porks and stuff like that. Cornbread and meats. S. That's it. I don't need smoked ribs and heavy dripping pulled pork and stuff like that. Cornbread and mac. Sides for life, bro. That's where it's at. This was the first Christmas I had where I had kids who

kind of know what's going on. They're so dumb, though. The kids are so dumb. Wait, they kind of know... How old's Shea? Shea's three. Shea's three. She knows what's going on? I mean, no, I mean, she knows... She... Not like there's... She doesn't know that Santa's

real. She just knows that there's something happening. I mean, yeah, Trump didn't hop on the horn yet and just fucking blow up her life. What a moment. What a moment from your boy trump just being like hey you still believe this fucking guy when he was in what third grade 77 years old you still had another like eight years to go yeah i told you i actually i don't know if i told you

i asked my mom i was like is it for real like was it fifth grade she's like yeah pretty sure i was like no we must be misremembering. She's like, no, pretty sure it was fifth grade. I had one guy on Twitter come to your defense and be like, that's totally normal, bro. It's totally normal. You're the weird one. I mean, I was the oldest child. So it's like, I feel like most of my friends found out at the same time.

I don't, I don't, I mean, I think – it's pretty close friends. I think they would have told me. I don't think my friends were having meetings at recess being like, look, we got to keep the lie going. I think everyone kind of just found out at the same time. If Santa didn't bring you a pair of Reeboks, now is the time to go get them. Reebok has the new Aztrex are out, which are, I mean, they've ripped right through Barstool.

Everybody's rocking them. Everyone's obsessed with the Aztrex. And it's a fire shoe. And shout out to me. I was the first one to wear it, and everyone was like, wait, what's that? That's cool. And I said, here, you can get them. Johnny Trendsetter over here, eh?

I get on the phone. I pick up Shay on Christmas Eve, Shay and Keegan were driving back to my house and I pull out my phone and I pretend to talk to your boy Santa Claus. I'm like, no way.

You already came to my house. Are you kidding me? Shay I'm talking to Santa right now. Santa came early. You're the best girl. He came to our house first. Yada, yada, yada. Shay is sitting in the back seat. She's like that, you know that gif of that little girl in the car seat who just looks around? Yeah, yeah, yeah. She's like that.

She was like, okay. So we get to our house. I'm like, let's go. Santa's here. She gets out of the car, and she's just standing outside the house. She's looking out the door. And she looks at me and looks at the door. My parents are there.

I said, come on in, Shay. And I look at her. I go, Shay, wait. Santa's not actually here. It's just a presence. And she was like, oh, okay. She was running in. Still hates that motherfucker Santa Claus.

She's like, I want no part of that weirdo, but I'll go get the gifts. Has she always hated Santa? What's that? Has she always hated santa what's that has she always hated santa yeah i mean ever since like when we put her on his lap as a little baby she would freak out and now she's coming around on the idea but she's still very skeptical she's still like arm's length like what is this whole shit about i don't know what's going on here i don't like it dude we roll in i i spent i to God, I spent six hours putting together this kitchen. Kid smart kitchen.

I thought it was like Fisher Price. I thought it was going to be like, here's the piece of plastic, and you snap it together, this piece of plastic, and you have yourself a kitchen. I opened up the box. There was 10 or 11 hinges. There had to be 100 screws, all sorts of different pieces. I opened up the box. There was 10 or 11 hinges. There had to be 100 screws, all sorts of different pieces.

You got a fucking foreman to put this thing together? Honestly, I absolutely needed a Mexican to come and put this together the proper way. I'm sitting there with my dad. My dad used to be fire at this shit, but he's older now. He can't see. He doesn't want to do it in the first place. He's like, fuck this noise. It was like wood and metal

and looked real it's nicer than my actual fucking kitchen and so i sat there and i'm just screwing and allen wrenching and drilling and i put this wrong i had to flip it over undo it blah blah swear to god six hours if you follow me back in the early barcelona new york days when i put together my desk that was my other thing remember Remember that? That was my big like construction feat. I mean, this puts the desk to shame. The desk was a walk in the fucking park. Kid smart kitchen. Fuck you. This shit

is so unbelievably unrealistic that we have this even in existence. It's like, it's made for like three-year-olds, but it's as intricate as an actual goddamn kitchen. Did she play with it at least? No, and then we opened up the presents,

and she doesn't give one single fuck about it. She doesn't give a fuck about it, man. We had this like fort. It's like a tent. It's basically a tent. You put a pole in, and it's a tent. You can climb inside of it. Probably cost like 15 bucks.

Loved it. Loved it. An inflatable 15 bucks. Loved it. Inflatable ball pit. Loved it. The $2 billion, seven hour kitchen. Didn't give a fuck about it. And then I hop on Twitter to complain about it. And I see the number of other dads who were like,

get smart. I was like, yeah. And they're like, yep. Get smart. Gotcha. Rookie mistake.

Like everybody, it's a rite of passage. Everybody goes through this shit. So fuck you. Kid smart. That's shit. You should, you, when you buy a kid smart gotcha rookie mistake like everybody it's a rite of passage everybody goes through this shit so fuck you kid smart that shit you should you when you buy a kid smart kitchen it should come with an illegal to put it together for you that's how ridiculous that thing i always think that that's like bullshit that the idea that kids don't care about because i i my memory might be wrong but i remember like enjoying toys as a kid i don't remember playing with boxes but it seems like everyone i talked to is just like yep all they want to do is like a fucking cat they just want to play with the box that's it yeah because you you remember when you were like

six there's a whole range from one to six that's like they're really dumb i mean that's true egan is just really dumb you know he was playing with the packing peanuts riggs riggs had a video on his uh instagram story like a kid doing power bombs it was a funny ass video yeah he was just jumping in the styrofoam doing cannonballs and shit that's way more fun than playing with a kitchen who even wants to play with the kitchen in the first place kev kev my uh nephew's favorite toy is just a toy vacuum. It's just a fake vacuum. And then they gave him like a mop and a broom set this year for Christmas.

And that's like his favorite toys. It's actually very funny you say that. So Keegan loves to play with Swiffers and like full-size brooms and shit. And he's always like stumbling around with them because they're way too big. So I went and I tried to get him a broom set, the exact set you're talking about. John, this was my first foray into like jingle all the way. I was the only one going for it. No, it's not like it was the hot item. It's not like I was going for turbo man or tickle me Elmo, but I was on Christmas Eve. I was trudging around to two different toy stores, two different targets, and let me tell you what, man. Keegan is

getting a mop set for his birthday because I gave the fuck up. It was like the walking dead, man. I walked in there. You would have thought people were looting. You would have thought a hurricane was coming. It was like shelves were empty. At one point, I swear to God, there was someone who fell

over. i just looked over there was someone laying on the ground i was like what is going on no one attending to him nobody helped me it was like it was target in mount vernon on sanford boulevard i was like i cannot believe i'm even out here it was the only thing that i know keegan likes to actually play with though so uh a major fucking strikeout on dad's part there. I was like, here. Let's just take a broom and cut it in half. I thought about that. I really did. I was like, do I have a saw around here?

Can I just chop this broom in half? Yeah. I just let him play with the full-size one. I don't know. Whatever. He also has this fucking thing called cow. I'm actually going to put this. I'm going to put a picture out there. I'm going to crowdsource this shit because right now he has one cow, and now unfortunately his parents have split up.

So I need a cow. It's like a pillow slash stuffed animal slash blanket. It's like this hybrid. A pillow slash blanket? It's like not quite a stuffed animal. It's got like the four legs are like just corners of the pillow. Okay. It's not as stuffed as a pillow.

It's kind of flat like a blanket. So it's like this in between. And he just walks around the house going cow, cow, cow, cow. And I've been trying to buy other things. And he legitimately like swipes them away. Get this shit out of here. This ain't cow. so i need to find the exact replica cow but it was i i don't know what it is i don't know who gave it to us i don't

know where it came from i'm gonna tweet out a picture i need the stoolies to crowdsource cow because that's the only fucking thing this kid likes to play with his cow that's it cow and garbage goddamn boy it's unbelievable man um all right so what are we doing we got lost kings coming up um are you prepared to talk about bird box i'm prepared sure i'm giving it some thought we'll do a little we'll do a little uh holiday dvr edition where you can talk about what you should be watching over the break it's brought to to you by Eero. If you're going to be streaming movies and TV shows, you got to have the strongest Wi-Fi possible throughout your house. And that's what Eero does. Eero boosts Wi-Fi throughout your entire apartment, throughout your entire house, to different rooms,

to different spots, even get outside by using the entire entire ero system which are like little hubs a little like route looks like little like uh routers almost that uh they kind of look like little accent pieces almost like nice looking uh it doesn't it's not like a big cluttery electronic uh thing that ruins the ruins the ambience john you know we got to get the feng shui going here ero looks sharp and it boosts the uh the wi-fi signal throughout the entire place that's what i need because the fucking here in my house dude i'm not near the router and it's a real pain in the ass to watch videos in my room exactly so you can get you get the ero base unit and two beacons and you get one year of Eero, you get $100 off when you go to Eero.com slash KFC.

It connects over to your Ethernet, just plugs it right into the wall, and you'll have high-quality Wi-Fi throughout your entire place. Bird Box seems to be – this was smart. I feel like this was – they released this exactly when they did to get everyone when they were sitting on their couch being lazy.

Sandra Bullock, Netflix exclusive. Everybody's chirping about it. See what I did there? Bird, chirp. Oh, I got it. I've given it some thought after a couple days. I think this movie stinks. You think it stinks? I don't think it stinks.

No, no, I don't think it stinks, but if we're going to be 2018 internet personalities, where you got to be on one side of the river or the other, if you made me choose, I think I would have to say this is a bad movie. See, I can't, I'll never call a movie bad if it entertained

me and it entertained me it definitely did it the the ending left something to be desired i was not uh thrilled with how all that played out but um but i was i was enthralled for an hour and a half of it i i i the problem here is i think that bird box is a poor man's quiet place it certainly is they just were like that's just bad timing on its part because it bird box is a popular book it's a best-selling book it's not it's not an original script right this story was written before krasinski wrote his story right so maybe krasinski maybe just jacked this and made it a better movie but if you don't know that the book came out beforehand it just feels like they said hey they made this movie over here where you can't hear

anything or make any noise let's make this movie over here where you're not allowed to look at anything and it's the difference being bro if you can't see you're so dead well it's not i i think it's well i think it's learned like people go blind right so like if i think that they had five years of practicing i guess so five years of living on a compound and practicing being blind i think you can be pretty okay i don't think you can hop on a river for 42 hours with no sight and figure things out well i mean like a river is easy right you're just floating people can you can you just get a tube. You can just float up at Saco River. You can just float for days. You know, the idea that you would just not like hit something or fall over or what it was all I know the movie is unrealistic to begin with. It's a silly movie about like a plague of suicide. But I can't wake up at night and get to my fridge, get to the fucking toilet with my eyes closed with no light on now

all of a sudden we're driving cars around town and all this shit crazy but the like it was all you know in town they're going three miles an hour with motion sensors on it it's all like first of all i also don't care about unbelievable things i'm i'm fine in a movie being like yeah that couldn't happen in real life but whatever although but But this, I think, is rather plausible. It's that someone can learn to be blind because people do it every day. Yeah, I don't think those – listen, you know me. I don't think those blind people really get anything done. I think they – Dude, I see them walking in New York all the time, just walking the street,

blind-ass people, just in the middle of – like, not even the middle of the road. That would be, I guess, what you'd expect. They're just right there they're just fucking walking down the sidewalk totally cool stopping at stop signs and and red lights and all that shit they know exactly how to do it i don't know how they do it man yeah if i if i have my eyes closed i like i think the rapids part would be tough but like why would they hit things in a river it It's just like rivers just flow. I feel like eventually you run aground or something. 42 hours on a river where you're just like sitting there, eyes closed.

Nothing falls out. The kids don't have to do it. Like no food, no water, no whatever it was. Like it just, I'm okay with it. Like, yeah, like you said, it's a movie, whatever. But I definitely had all sorts of vibes of like, everybody would be dead if you can't see. There are some people who can see who are like creeping up on you and shit.

I didn't like how she called him girl and boy. I thought that was stupid. I didn't think that was fleshed out enough. So stupid. When we get it, you're discounted from reality. You don't have emotion. I will say what I do like is the amount of memes that have come out of this the people using pictures of sandra bullock blindfolded

the people using the picture of the guy who's pulling the old woman's eyes open like me trying to let you see this and that anytime you get into the the internet lexicon you know you've done something right so overall i'm okay i like the movie i i it was so hyped up i watched it i got it it was cool i had some problems with it, but overall I'd say that like Netflix kind of dropped their dick on the table again and had like the, the holiday entertainment. It was,

it was creepy as hell. There was some like intense ass scenes that if you, like, like I was just saying, like if you, if you want to say you, there were some flaws in the storytelling, fine,

I agree. But you were entertained for that movie. No one was halfway through that movie being like, eh, turn it off, watch something else. Yeah, you definitely wanted to see how it ended. And then it ended and you were like, well, that's not what I wanted, but at least I saw it through. The scene with the babies,

with the guy being like, come on, let them see the light. Let them just let them see. I was like, whoa, buddy, whoa, buddy. Yo, buddy. That dude was wicked. He was a wicked actor. Let's make a promise right now.

KFC Radio is ever stuck somewhere. We ain't opening the door for anybody. Nobody. They don't get in our house. They don't get in our car. They don't get our food. They don't get our water. They get nothing. They get nada. Because if if you let people in they fuck you every single time

that's like like those uh will be those dudes the uh the island guys who just killed that uh yes that uh bible thump or whatever he was that fucking missionary you come here that's it don't even like we're not even going to entertain the conversation if you come near us we will hit you with a spear i think i had a buddy who was in iraq he told me that there um i forget what the feet breakdown was but when someone was coming at them it was like you know 100 yards away i'm making up the distances but like 100 yards away you're yelling, stop, turn around, whatever. Well, at the 50 yards, you start throwing rocks at them. At 25 yards, you start shooting at their feet. Any closer than that,

you're shooting them in the goddamn bed. That's it. And I'll be honest, I might cut out the rock throwing thing. I'm just trying to shoot. I'm not throwing any rocks. I was like, you kind of wait a little long, right? If they're still walking at you while you're shooting at the feet,

they'll probably have a bomb attached to them. Right. They really want to talk to you. I really feel like the rock thing is pretty silly step. Just like you're just knocking someone with pebbles and they just keep walking at you. Just fucking shoot. That's what we're here for.

All right. Should we get into this interview with Lost Kings? Let's do it. Blue Apron brings you the interview with these two guys. So Lost Kings, they're cool with Bart Stoll. They've been around for a little while now. They've been putting out a couple bangers. And after talking to them, it sounds like they kind of –

they made me think differently about, like, the EDM scene. Like, they actually don't even necessarily say that they feel like they're just EDM DJs. They're kind of like just making music. And, and obviously they understand it skews towards a certain genre, but they, they were, you know, for everyone out there who was just like, Whoa, what do you do? You just press play on your computer or you just have a laptop. Talk to these guys and you understand that there's, you know, it's, it's its own musical like industry now.

And some of the shit they had to say about the people who came before them, the names that you know, I it's its own musical like industry now and some of the shit they had to say about the people who came before them the names that you know i fuck with those guys a lot i feel like almost like the barstool of edm of like the dj scene where they're like fuck these guys fuck that guy we're gonna do it our way like oh you're the old standard nobody gives a fuck about you yeah i think we bring it up in the interview too like edm is kind of like blogging where it's got this very negative stigma to it. But if you're just like, look, yeah, I know what you think, but I'm a little, I'm a little different than that.

Yeah. And it's like, guess what? People like that shit. So yeah, there's maybe there's a stigma, maybe it's new, but people are reading blogs, not newspapers. People will listen to electronic music, not classic rock. I don't know what to tell you. It is what it is. They're they're ahead of the curve and you're not. So, all right.

Free meals for free. Lost Kings. Let's talk to them. Alright. Very special edition of KFC Radio. We got the Lost Kings in the building, which is a very fucking cocky name. Let's be honest. I don't even quite know what it means. Please explain to me the Lost Kings. So, we're both on the East Coast, but we moved to LA.

And LA is kind of like a big city you can get lost in. We first moved there, I pretty much just partied for a year it was like pretty much i would imagine that so where are you from on the east coast uh boston all right so that's why you got because i was gonna say you know barstool very well oh yeah you guys picked up with it and you know caleb obviously but you know you're mixing it up on Twitter. You seem to know everything that's going on. So it makes a lot of sense that you're Boston guys. Yeah. But once you get into the EDM world, I feel like you've got to get out west, right?

Yeah. Music in general. I mean, I'm from Baltimore originally, actually. I went to school in Boston, and then we met in L.A. Because we've been in L.A. like eight years. So I went there for music. He went there for music and acting and i mean it's just like where you go for entertainment yeah yeah we've been out there

um for a while and we met like four years ago so so you you start out partying yeah are you partying at this point you're big you've made it no no like you're just oh you're doing you're doing like a six or a few yards i'm part home. I'm partying like working at a Mexican restaurant and drinking the tequila from the bar where no one's looking. Respect. I was definitely partying on a budget. But yeah, but like you kind of just do that and fake it till you make it type thing. Like when you get out there. That's what we're talking about.

And then now you're just partying basically with a bigger budget. For real life. Either no budget or just a much bigger budget uh when you guys like when did you what was like your your when you popped like how do you know it's like a it's like a continuous momentum grind i feel like it's not really like one moment there's been like little moments that get us to the like the next step but it's not like a giant step um unless because like it everybody you know everybody always says it they think it's overnight but it's like never overnight we've been grinding forever i've been making music we've been because when we met we were both doing solo stuff forever and so it was like just a

culmination i feel like of all that and then when we met we just knew what we wanted to do and so then we had like a little moment on a remix that got on the radio that helped us with our manager and agents. So that was a moment. And then it was like that got us jump-started with the team. And then we got in a position to put out original music, and that kind of jump-started a lot of stuff with our fans. And then we were able to get a major label deal,

and then we were able to put out music that we really wanted to put out. And it's just been like a continuous build of our our our vibe our brand and it's just like continuous it's like us man i was gonna say not like us but like barstool where it's like like when we did the video with david ortiz seven years ago eight years ago it was like that was the biggest thing ever right and then i was like well it doesn't get any bigger than this yeah we've made it you know like things where you know now alex rodriguez kind of works here yeah like now yeah and it is slow enough it's almost like uh i remember when i when i first had kids i was like how am i gonna like carry these things when they're like 50 or 60 pounds and they're like you just they just kind of keep getting

like a little bit heavier you know what i mean because it's not like every day we come in here and it's like you see a rod and it's kind of like oh all right but it's not like holy shit because it just keeps like steadily well you know you're in it you're in it so much like you're just in it and it's not until you like kind of take a step back and you're like on a few moments and it's like like we were just talking about the spotify they just did their like their yearly uh like the smartest marketing thing in the whole yeah yeah yeah everybody posted yeah yeah yeah everybody posted yeah yeah and so it's like it's crazy because like that's just a little moment you look back at

like all the streams that you've had and all the fans and the hours that people have listened to your music and that's kind of just like oh oh shit okay people are like paying attention yeah are you guys rich no it's hard to get rich in music i feel like it is like you feel you gotta i mean is it harder or easier because like people used is. Like, I feel like you gotta, I mean, is it harder or easier? Because, like, people used to just straight up steal it. Like, you were just getting pirated, right? You're just paying so many people. It's like, it's hard to, like, you know,

what you think would be a lot of money is getting paid out to a lot of different people when you have a squad. But you need those people to keep all your shit in check. You know, it's like, business manager. It's like, when we got a business manager, it's like, we have to file taxes in every state that we play taxes it's like bro i'm not gonna do that i'm gonna fuck that up yeah i'd have the irs on me real quick yeah exactly yeah no i mean

it's it's like you gotta spend the money to make the money you gotta like feed the whole but i remember sammy yeah yeah you know the big payout uh sammy was big when he like first like he was like really in tight with us when he first signed his deal and it was like i think he signed like a two million dollar deal his first deal or something like that and we're like oh you're rich now and he was like no because i get half of that and then like first of all that just gets immediately cut in half yeah yeah that 10 goes here 10 here goes here i'm like oh so like we're going to mcdonald's yeah yeah they quickly went from like we're rich too like not weird like it was like you know very we we actually we actually just had a come to like reality experience with that where we thought we were getting something you go and you talk to your businessman he's like no he's like you're

getting this it's like oh shit you're getting enough to just like get straight yeah you're gonna you're gonna get the even bro yeah we had shit we're getting enough to just like get straight yeah you're gonna get the even bro yeah we had shit we're planning out to buy and then we walked out of the the meeting we're like what the fuck we got just a couple of how are we in the home bro you actually owe us money pretty much we actually like for dance music in itself missed the boom of like the crazy money offers and everything which was like five six years ago we're like that hurts because you were close yeah you were you know it's not you didn't miss it by that much fuck scrubs were making like millions of dollars

who are the scrubs let's start a little let's start a little edm yeah so who wins in a fight to the death you were chain smokers let's oh we we love them but i also think we could take them in a fight yeah you guys they're a little very emotional these days the Chainsmokers I will give them this they are like the I will give the very famous people this I'm sure the Chainsmokers appreciate it

they did the Monday Night Football they did a commercial now they did that a couple weeks ago and it was like everyone on Twitter was like oh the chain smokers and i was like oh chain smokers but at the same time i was turning up a little bit because they do have that algorithm music where it's like i hate it i hate it but i turned up a little bit the music i love that yeah it's like they're like they're like your brain their music buzzfeed where it's just like i don't want to click that i don't want to see like what my favorite friends episode means i had for lunch but can they do it

well i'll tell you this like when we like that meeting we were just talking about that he was like he my business manager always references this other dj that we know kind of he's like yeah he was making three million four million bucks a year and now you can't get five grand first show really yeah i'm not gonna say his name but i'm like yo that's that's what it is we'll keep it just we'll blur it out that's crazy especially i feel like so if you're making three or four million in any life but i feel like in your life it's i mean you can blow it as quickly oh yeah so like you have you didn't hang on to some of that you're back to mcdonald's yeah yeah you should be in a bad spot back to the ice cream restaurant yeah yeah yeah back to the well tequila yeah because yeah i mean you're it's i think almost part of like could you make your music but also

just like be low-key i feel like part of it is like the persona yeah right you gotta be in the clubs you gotta be part you gotta be young you gotta be cool you gotta dress the part look the part act the part because so many people want to attach themselves to not just the music but your brand and the people that you are. But you do have to be out there and put yourself out there and make people aware of who we are. Right. Why are you different? Yeah. It's half of it.

It's like music. Yeah. How fucking exhausting is that? It's super exhausting. Like every night when we get done with work, I'm like, I can't wait to go home, put on Netflix, fucking do nothing. You guys like get done with work and you're like, okay, now time to go in the club. Well, yeah, that's what probably gives me the most anxiety, man. It's like we're thinking we're chilling, we're making music, and you get lost in the music.

And you're like, fuck, man, we need to make an Instagram post. We need to do this. We need to do that. We need to keep the content going. It's like, yo, that drives me up a wall sometimes. I'm like, we don't always have – like we're just chilling in our house like there's nothing exciting going on i feel like you could i think that's what you should i'm gonna be your manager right i feel like maybe you could be um like you can change the mold you kind of can be

like yeah we're just like lost kings we put out this fucking banger but we're just watching yeah it's creek on netflix right now yeah yeah i was about i was thinking to myself like if i was you know imagine if i'm sitting at home with shay but then i like whip out the laptop and the fucking machines and i'm making these beats it would be like it would be different you know what i mean it would probably wouldn't some people wouldn't be like impressed by it because they want i feel like people want you or their djs to be cool yeah but if it was like yeah, normal people can make this sort of music too. Well, that's what we try to do. We try to be that on an everyday basis with what we're doing.

We try to show people that we're just like, yo, we're grinding like everybody else. Even the way you guys are on Twitter. It's like you're just shooting the shit, commenting on whatever's going on, that kind of stuff. It makes a difference because the other guys I feel like are fucking aliens. I look at like Tiesto. I'm are you even human the guys have been doing i mean tiesto's been around since like yeah yeah yeah who was it who um frankie almost walked in on him with was it nina agdahl uh diplo did frankie frankie has a huge rivalry with diplo right and yeah he he walked in on him i believe with like nina agdal like a club or

something like that in like a vip section and diplo's like get the fuck out of here and then they were like at like he was up on stage he was like doing his set and frankie was doing something stupid like staring at him and fucking with him and then for some reason i think i think frankie made a joke like you're not rich or something like that and then the next day diplo put up an instagram of him holding like a block of money like he did like the mayweather and it was like whatever the circumstances were everybody pretty much agreed it was like aimed at frank it was like that's all that's all so do you do you guys roll with any of those guys are you like is there like a you know kind of like a brotherhood i feel like the industry or no i feel like we're on the outskirts like kind

of um just because of the music that we've made and the the attitude that we carry it's like those guys they got to a certain point and they shut the door on everybody else if that makes sense like they and and diplo even said that and it kind of made sense it's like they the a lot of the dance guys they wrote a certain sound for so hard that people were just like oh i'm done with this and that was like equivalent to closing the door and so it's like guys like us we're trying to change the mode of like what you know your average person thinks dance music is or edm or whatever it's like we don't even think of it like that we just try to make good music and we're just two dudes trying to like grind and make you know make dope shit and if people fuck with us cool if you don't then that's what it is you know but like i don't even fuck with a lot of those guys because a lot of

like keep it real bro i don't give a fuck about dip low i'm gonna fuck about any of those guys we here to we here to put our stamp on this on the industry and and keep doing what we're doing i don't fuck i don't get any inspiration from any of them fucks i listen to what i listen to and that's it bro let's go yeah fucking edm beef i hate when people yo people ask us like yo who do you what other, man? It's like, bro, I don't like anybody else because I'm trying to take their job. It's competition, right? We see the same guys playing the same festivals, doing the same shit, putting out the same music.

It's like, nah, we're trying to change that. For real. We can't say it. We can only prove it. So it's like, I don't give a fuck about it. Do you ever not listen to them, to other DJs and stuff like that intentionally? Because we kind of do that with podcasts.vin and i don't really like podcasts yeah we do a podcast we don't really listen to them because like first of all i don't want to

like just like listen to someone so you know if you listen to someone so so much you start to kind of talk like them yeah you steal like a take and you didn't mean to but it's like yeah that person is right and then you end up reiterating it it's like you kind of did steal there's a lot of that music too is is just recycled. No one's pushing the boundaries. So whenever something comes out, I'm really not interested to listen to it in the first place because it's like, yo, I've heard that type of song a thousand times. Yeah, I'm not jumping to listen to that.

I try to listen to outlandish shit. I don't listen to dance music. When I first started making music, I wasn't making dance music. I was making rap music. I was making rap beatsish shit. I don't listen to dance music. When I first started making music, I wasn't making dance music. I was making rap music. I was making rap beats and shit. I wasn't into the dance music until I found it as a way and as a platform to maybe change the mode a little bit.

And our music isn't typical dance music. It's all across the board. It's very eclectic. That's not what I'm jumping to. Yeah, so does that bother you? Like people are lumping – I mean I just did it right now. I kind of lumped you in with those guys.

Are you like – is it a goal to break out of that? Yeah, yeah. That's the goal. So like if we can change the mindset, the average mindset of what people think – and I'm not saying – like I don't get offended by like being compared to those guys. I respect those guys for what they've done. Like Diplo actually – I for what he's done. But there's a lot of guys that don't make their own music,

that don't do it. And I feel like fucking putting those guys on blast. We can't do it right now because we ain't in a position. Not yet. When you do, though, you'll come back here first. These are the airwaves to do it on, all right? Exactly. But I'm just sick of that.

I'm like, yo, we grind, man. We work hard. We came from nothing. We're making our own way here. I think there's a negative stigma when people say, oh, you do EDM music. Absolutely. When someone says, oh, you just press play on a laptop, that's always the running joke. Exactly.

And there's so much more that we do and how we make the music and play our shows and everything. And I think that's the main reason of why we want to be more than that because we're not just an EDM artist. When we prep a set, man, it takes like two weeks. When we did Ultra, it was like two weeks of preparation. And then when we get up there, it's not like we ain't got it all figured out. We're going all vibe. And people don't get that.

But there's guys that have made people think that's what that's because that's what they are doing we've seen it time and time again and it's like bro you're killing it for us you know what i mean like you're destroying it for us and then we gotta we gotta be the ones to break out of that because you set us up for that so when you so when someone asks what you do do you don't say we don't we edm djs or whatever music i say we make music and play shows i try to keep it kind of general and let people when they hear the music when they see the show they make their own interpretation that's what we've always found the hardest part of describing what we do or it's like a blogger

is the same thing yeah when it's general it's how you tell your girlfriend's dad you're a blogger you're out the fucking house yeah man you're out it's a fine line too though be like you don't want to you know i you don't want to come across like taking yourself seriously you know like yeah if you're like no i'm not edm i just i just do a lot it's like well yeah you're still making dance music yeah you're still just a blogger you're still just podcast so you don't want to come across as like trying to sound like something you're not yeah like don't i would say don't try to like break out of the mold almost too much because the mold is you know yeah not a bad one at the same time. One time I tried to break out too much and said I'd make videos

on a website. That doesn't work. That does not work. I did videos on a website. You fucking have sex on camera, dude? What are you talking about? I respect the dance music space and we understand what we're in.

We come from playing instruments. There's so much more to that. I'm just saying what the guys that are there and that are at the top have set a certain mold of what people think it is and we're just trying to change that that's i mean like we we do a lot of a lot of different things so it's like we're trying to slowly get people to see that that's it that's what the new um the new project is really all about yeah yeah yeah it's been 500 million total streams it's a lot of fucking streams how many hours is that do the math oh let's say on that spotify thing where we did the math and so like this year in streams was like the equivalent of like somebody listening to our music for 800 years holy Holy shit. That's one of those things. Like you send a message to the moon.

It takes back some of the Voyager to wherever the fuck's out there right now. Yeah. But that was 100 years. Yes. And that, that was like, well, that's,

that's insane. That's a number right there. Oh, you know what? I got a question for you guys. Just came into this one. Voyager two has the golden record on it. What songs would you put on the golden record for the aliens to find?

Don't have to all be yours give me five oh top five songs to represent the human race first off the top of my head would be talking heads this must be the place good choice you're going rap music you gotta oh man i'm gonna go michael jackson bro thriller's gotta be on there i'll put the greatest show on i'll go bewitch c'est la vie i'm in a little bit of a guilty pleasure guilty pleasure vibe right now yeah you don't want the aliens thing like oh they only like good things you want to have them like all right switch it up they're a little tap down there there's a couple idiots we might not want to go fucking invade that so you got the ep coming out on january 4th i got a couple tracks sent to me We might not want to go fucking invade them. So you got the EP coming out on January 4th.

I got a couple tracks sent to me exclusively. No big deal, John. You haven't heard them yet. He told me for your ears only, and I respected that. You really did. Look at this, though. Wiz Khalifa, Social House. You got some names on there.

So yeah, you're doing the thing. January 4th is the EP, huh? Yeah. You got big plans, big release parties, big... We'll probably do a release party. Yeah. We're actually going to be in Anguilla for the release. Not too bad.

Yeah. See, that's what I would do. You know what? I don't even know where the fuck that is, though, to be honest. It sounds good to me, though. You could tell me that's the Caribbean. You could tell me that's near Australia. I don't fucking know.

I'm guessing an island off Spain. It's an island with a beach. That's all that matters. If I was you, I would never play anything but those. They got our new tours out and it's only in the Caribbean. Why don't you come home to Boston? No. It's old in Boston. Fuck that. It's the best.

It's not our typical show because it's the four seasons. It's a rich family resort and then us. Let's not get it twisted. We get paid to play this show. And one of the reasons why we do it is because we get to make a little vacation out of it. It's our only time to make a vacation.

We ain't paying for it. We couldn't afford it. It's like, bill is like 20 grand a night and it's like a 10-night minimum. It was all like basketball. We were playing basketball and it was just all owners of NBA teams like running the courts and like their sons who have like NBA coaches so it was like 12 year olds mopping the floor

yeah yeah fellas we appreciate it man we'll be looking out for the new EP too awesome
