Speaker 1 (00:23):
Make it up. I would never know if you would
have made it up.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
I know, but I'm not very good at lying. We've
learned this about me.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Yeah, but it's just like it's like improv You're not
really necessarily lying. You're just like committing to something and
just learn the lis like blurred lines.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Okay, well we're starting out with a shout out from
Michelle and Apple Valley.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
But is it the same Apple Valley? Okay, gotcha, She's.
Speaker 2 (00:41):

Speaker 2 (00:50):
That's what we appreciate. All right, Hillary and Texas would
like to know how old is Scuba.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Steve west Box mentioned he is, and everyone's like, uh, Excuba.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
This is a question blowing up in this one, like
how old is Scuba?
Speaker 1 (01:04):
I don't know how old am I. I always think that.
And it's funny because I was hanging out my friend
David last night and we were talking about He's like, man,
I just feel I don't know how we got on
the subjects. I always just feel youthful inside. He goes,
I don't feel like I am the age that I
am because I always envision myself as at a certain age.
And I was like, what do you see yourself as?
And he's like, like, nineteen twenty And in my head,
I'm always twenty five no matter what with I mean,
(01:26):
of course, decision making, I have to be a different
kind of adult when it becomes the kids and work
or whatever. But I just feel and think that I'm
twenty five years old always.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
You know that you can feel and think twenty five
but still be a different age.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Of course, Yeah, your time on earth is longer than
what you feel and think. But for me, I'm twenty.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
Five, okay, But being alive is a beautiful thing. If
you live for years, I know you're somewhere in your thirties,
like actually, I just don't know where.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
I know. It's like this one time there are you
know Neo the artist, Yeah, Neil. So he came in
studio when I was in San Francisco and I was
putting together the prep and like, it doesn't really matter
what his age is, but I just put on there
so he knew it. And his birthday I felt like
it was coming up. So I was like, oh, you
mentioned hey, bird just coming out on birthday. And I
put out his age on there as I think it
was at the time. I put thirty three or thirty four.
(02:17):
And he was going through it and he's going, hey,
Neo's here, da da and he mentioned his age. I'm like,
you never mentioned his age. Why would you do that.
It's just there for you just to know all of
a sudden now. And then Neo goes, that's not how
old I am. And then he goes, Steve get in here,
and it was like this like three minute, let's beat
the crap out of Steve for having you know, wrong
information on his prep sheet. And he was like, nah, man,
I goes, I'm thirty seven, and I was like, dude,
(02:37):
online it says that he's thirty three, thirty four whatever
it is. And I went and I found the links
and I showed him and he goes, oh, I bet
that's my pr person trying to make me seem younger
than I really am, so I seem relatable to the audience.
He's like, no, but I'm about to be forty. And
I was like, see, I'm filibustering.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Here and trying to do and what I'm getting here
is that potentially Scowa Steve might be thirty seven, thirty
eight years old. Yeah, he might be coming on forty.
I tell the story about Neo. Yes, if I'm looking
at context, maybe I don't know.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
I'm just telling you a neo story. And this Neo
story is true and it's factual, and it happened, and
he was thirty three thirty four, but he was actually
closer to forty. That's Neo.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
All right, Hillary, We got nowhere.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Schuba was still during his weekend radio show Lisa in Illinois,
so it was a weekday.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
I did it Monday through fa actually Monday through Saturday
on iHeart nineties, and then I stepped away for I
did it for about three months. I loved it. So
much because I was when I was doing it, and
doing the show, it like took me back to being
a kid because everything we talked about on the show
and all the music was things from my childhood. So
I just like envisioned being in Orlando in nineteen ninety
five when en Sync is big and Britney Spears is
(03:43):
going on.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Well, you got to live in some nostalgia.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Yeah, it was. It was a nostalgia city. It was
so much fun. And the audio I got from the
show and using the show was very nostalgic from like
Nickelodeon from the nineties and even people like people that
I would have on through like talkbacks or whatever. It
was just they brought a lot of great things that
just you remember a really fun time for me and
I think for the world. Like the nineties were pretty badass. Yeah,
(04:06):
it was a really incredible time in sports and pop culture.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
I was born in the nineties. Don't have to convince
me to yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Okay, okay, okay. So yeah, it was fun and we
did that for a while, and then I stepped away
for a moment because I was trying to focus on
my next adventure, which we've talked about many freaking times
and yeah, and here we still are there, we still are.
So I put I'm moving in another direction with it
and hopefully have some answers here the next month.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Okay, that's exciting. Yes, yeah, answers or something.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Exactly, Yes, answers or something or I make I create
my own path. But whatever.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
That was so cool too.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
So yeah, I'm not doing it right now as this
is airing, I'm not doing that show anymore, and I'm
not doing anything else that's solo at the moment.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Okay, well, we got an answer on that one job
which once you were you to answer, when is the
last time you had a clean shaven face?
Speaker 2 (05:04):
This is from Tracy and last.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Face, clean shaven face. Let me see if I can
find like me, go to my Instagram timeline because like
if you go to Instagram, I feel like that's what show.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Yeah, what it would be if already for sure the
entire time you've been on the show, you've never had
a Yeah, I've.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Always had the beard, so that's five years for sure,
and I know working with Seacrest, I had the beard
around after my son was born. Oh yeah, so wh
when my son was born in twenty eighteen, you could.
Here's a picture of me and Sean Mendez and I.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Still have short beard.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Yeah, it was like a like a five o'clock yeah,
scruff five o'clock plus. That was twenty eighteen. That was
June twenty eighteen with me and Sean.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
When you first went bald?
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Was that when you didn't have a beard or do
you feel like you had a beard?
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Pretty much your entire t.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
I always had some sort of like facial hair because
my wife, who's my girlfriend at the time, did not
like the way I looked without any facial hair whatsoever.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Got it.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
So she's like, you look at an alien having a
bald head and having no facial hair. Okay, So here's
a picture of me this lavish wedding in March of
twenty nineteen. It was a year after my son's birth.
And you can see the beard's starting to grow in
a little bit.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
So I think I started growing it in twenty eighteen,
and it started getting thicker around twenty nineteen. And then
here's me leaving Ryan Seacre show and there we go
August of twenty nineteen.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Those are still smaller beards than the one that.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
You yet now. Oh oh yeah, yeah, but this is like
it's like growing then. So I would say, like twenty eighteen,
I started growing it, growing it. Twenty nineteen, at the
end of the year, I started getting bigger, and by
twenty twenty, being here in Nashville, then it's like, okay,
it's full on.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Beard in twenty Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
So you really never had a giant period of time
where you were totally just clean shaven all the way around.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
No, it would always have I always had some sort
of five o'clock shadow or like a really mini beard,
like a you know, it's like an inch or half
inch yea off. I mean I had clean shaven when
I was younger. Obviously, I am.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Curious now though, like adult you, because that's kind of
like young you.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Am curious adult you, what you'd look like was just
gruff instead of your beard beard now yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Yeah, I mean who knows what looks like. I know,
I man the absolute worst shape possible. So I'm sure
I got a double chin. This is nice that it
hides it for me.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Let me ask though, because I obviously don't have a beard.
I mean I got little face hairs, but I have
a beard.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
In order to get scruffed.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Do you have to shave it all off and then
you have to let it grow back into scruff or
can you like shave it totally down to be scruffed
of the beard?
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Yeah, almost, like how you would shave a head, Like
if you had like longer hair and someone, you know,
they buzz cut it and there's still some hair there.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
It would create the same effect or would it be?
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Like yeah, I mean the best effect is to shave
it skin and then let it grow in a little bit,
because then you can get that real true like scruffy
five o'clock shadow, like the like the OGC crest look,
or trying who is someone that had David Beckham that look?
I mean, yeah, of course you can trim it, but
the best is to go totally naked and then let
it grow a little bit, because then it comes in
all even it looks good.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
That's what I thought. I was curious of the process. Yeah, yeah,
I never knew.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Yes. I usually would let it grow a little bit
and then I would take the thing to it and
like trim it short and then after a while like okay,
let me start fresh again and then do the whole thing. Yeah,
but that was a long time ago of me doing that.
I think from twenty I mean i'd say twenty ten
to twenty fifteen. I did versions of that, and before
twenty ten there was much hair there at all.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Okay, Yeah, thank you for the beard lesson. Yeah, I've
got a lot of information here.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
I ever get a boyfriend, I'll have it all. What
es think about the country rap scene? Robert from Bay Area, California.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
The country rap scene I always appreciate and I think
something who's really good at at If you ever listen
to serious XM Shade forty five, which is Ello Cool
Jays Sorry, Rock the Bells is LLO Cool Jaystation Shade
forty five is eminem so rock the Bells which is
Llo Cool Jay's station Channel forty three. Too Short. Who's
a Barrier rapper? Which Robert is?
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Robert right, Yeah, he's Barry.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Robert definitely knows who Too Short is. He knows who
Kick the Sneak is, he knows who be Legit is,
he knows who E forty.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Love these names all I'm head.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
They have some many cool names in the Barrier for
the rappers, but every region and Too Short does a
great job highlighting this on his show. There's so many different,
like great influences in regions where their sounds are totally different,
like the Southern rap, which for the longest time was
Atlanta based, and that was like Ludacris and outcasts, he
had a different sound. And then you had like kind
(09:17):
of the Midwest, which was the Nelly or like the
party sound, and then New York was very like oh.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Cool like you, But does like the Southern rap constitute
as like country rap or.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
I think the country out he maybe was more referring
to like the hick hop or whatever, which is kind.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Of like, well, I don't know, like this is I
listened to rap music, but I don't have a lot
of background nolg rap. So that's why I'm asking you
if that like could still constitute Like is there moments
where Ludacris, who you said was one of the Southern ones, Yeah, yeah,
sounds a little bit like country rap or is it
all just really more rap and he's just rooted in
the South.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
I think he would be country, he'd be more just
the southern type style where it kind of can play
a little twangy. But it's not like he doesn't talk
like a least a little bit in rap. He's just
from the South, So his storylines and his his inspiration
and his and his content of the lyrics are Southern based,
whereas like the West Coast and the East Coast, which
(10:12):
mostly be the New York versus you know, Compton, Compton
and w A, Oakland and the Bay Area even like
the Bay Arito to La is sort of different a
sense of what it was. And then even got Miami Rap.
He had like two live crew in that boom bap
shit and all that.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Sorry we made it ten minutes, Okay.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
But yeah, so like there's really it's like always different
textures and these different stories and the different lives, and
because they lived different lives, the different kinds of raps
and different kind of lyrics. The hic cop or the
Southern hip hop. Maybe he's referring to more like that Nashville, Kentucky,
which could be more of like the up Church or
guys like Jelly Roll before they got into the country music,
(10:54):
or like a Struggle Jennings who is wrapped, or a
yellow Wolf who is a rapper and really good. I
guess I like that. I appreciate any kind of as
a kid, I was always like, oh, I'm only West Coast.
I love West Coast, I loved I loved all LA
based hip hop. But then as I got older, I'm like,
why would I ever close myself off to anything. It's
just yeah, I love rap. I don't care what it is,
(11:17):
and I appreciate even I appreciate every version of it,
even like looking at Detroit and all that kind of stuff.
I just love hip hop so much, so much because
it provides so many different sounds in that one genre
where I feel like other genre as it is in
that like country is kind of just country, and pop
is I mean, you know, some influences from the international
pop or the island pop sort of maybe pops on
(11:40):
a good example, but country's country. But hip hop is
so different no matter where you go in in our country,
it's got a different vibe, different sound. So I like
it. It's not my favorite, but I appreciate it and like it.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Okay, well there you go, the expert in Beard's and
hip hop music. We're gonna take a quick break. I'm
gonna be right back.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Back from our break, and we don't have any more
Beard and music questions. I am so sorry.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
That's all good. I'm not sorry, sorry, not sorry, Yeah, exactly, Yeah,
it's all good. I answered them. So they got their answers.
So what do you want.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Well, Natalie, who I'm gonna believe is from California, okay,
wants to know if you're eventually gonna leave and go
back to California or Florida one of the coasts.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Yeah, I mean that kind of ties into my thoughts
of my future. I mean, I don't have any plans
at the moment because I'm settled, settled into Nashville in
the sense that, you know, I found my community with
the basketball team and coaching these kids, and then my
son really likes his school, and my wife seems to
be pretty much okay. I mean, she definitely is one
that misses California the absolute most because her family's still
(12:42):
there and her family doesn't come my hair that often,
so she misses them a lot. So she's definitely the
driving force of you know, where do we go next.
I've never really been ever, I'd never been really tied
to a city ever since I left my home of Orlando.
I've never been like, well, I got to stay somewhere
forever that maybe I could have been La for me.
I could have stayed in La forever and been okay
with it, especially if I didn't have kids. But I
(13:02):
guess a long winded way to answer it is I
don't know. But I could see myself. I've never married
to anywhere. I could see myself staying here in Nashville.
I could see myself living back in Orlando. I could
see myself in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Atlanta, New York.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
I say, would you move somewhere new too?
Speaker 1 (13:21):
I told you somewhere new. Yeah, like Atlanta would always
be somewhere I could think of myself living where. It's
still kind of has that La in New York and
a little bit of Nashville feel because it's a big
city and they do filming there and they have television
shows and movies and music entertainment.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Atlanta's kind of the new hotspot versus Los Angeles or
New York exactly.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Atlanta's massive. And even Chicago. I think Chicago is a
cool city. It's a very family friendly city.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Okay, I could.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
See myself there as well too. It's just really cold,
that's the only thing. Yeah. And I love the beach
and I love the water. There is a massive lake there,
but that massive lake pushes a lot of cold air
into the city. So you know, I guess I am
never I've never shut myself off to an opportunity. I
know there's some cities on my list that I would
never want to live or I don't have any interest
in living. I don't. I don't want to piss anyone off.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Oh yeah, yeah, I was gonna ask, but never mind.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Yeah, I mean, I don't mind saying. I just it's
probably obvious places, you know. I mean I couldn't and
I'm not saying I couldn't see myself living some of
these places. They just don't have what I want for
my career and which never would live there, that's right, Yeah,
driven through it. But I would never live there because
there's nothing there for me. You know, I don't work
for Boeing and I and I don't and I and
(14:32):
I don't. I don't. I don't have any family there.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Any ties, but never Cook family. You know, they got
lots of ties.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
The Coca Cola family.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
No Coke family. Ko ko h oh cock?
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Is it cock?
Speaker 2 (14:43):
No, it's coke?
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Oh, it's Coke. What do they do?
Speaker 3 (14:45):
They're like super wealthy. The Koch brothers super wealthy businessmen.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Okay, yes, oh yeah, they're invested in everything.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Yeah, yes, lots and lots of things. They're also there, gotcha.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
That was where they grew up, Kansas, I think, okay,
and they still based out of the Actually I.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Say that, I don't know if they grew up there,
if they just like raised all their families there and whatnot,
but like there, I believe their headquarters is.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
There, okay, brothers Okay.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
And yes, for some reason, it's pronounsco That's why. That's
what every Kanson has ever called them. So if it
is cock or something else, we've always.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Said, yeah, okay, I got your Coke family.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Yeah. Even the news so.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Okay, well I think the news that they're saying it,
then they then obviously it's.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Well, you know, you never know, because everything I've ever
seen in my life is always wrong.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
So true.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Yeah, Italian, I just I don't trust myself anymore. Was
a fan of JV since twenty seventeen. Any favorite memories
of him? Felipe in New York City.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Wow, I wonder if that's Felipe Asparza. Wait, that's a comedian,
but maybe knows me, he's in New York. Wow, you
know this person knows JV. Interesting.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Yeah, he said he's been a fan of him, so
he's been listening.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Wow, Okay, that's really cool. So I would say, what
was the question? And I just got thrown off.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Favorite memory of him?
Speaker 1 (15:55):
My favorite memory of him? I man, I have a
lot of great memories, a lot of crazy memories. Some memories.
I don't know if I should be able. I don't
know if I guess he's dead now, So can you
talk about people that are dead and things you did
that may.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Have not been That's entirely your decision. Okay, whatever you
are comfortable with.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Well, I was the first person to I think, get
him to smoke weed ever, or or the first time
in a really long time. I think it may have
been ever because him and Natasha had never smoked, or
she claimed she never smoked. And so I remember we
were going to one of our events. It was called
girls night out. Just by the way, girls night out
when you're a single guy is the greatest event ever
because they can't do this anymore now because people get,
(16:38):
you know, upset about not including all these different people. Yeah,
so back in the day, you had these events of
the Sound Factory called Girls Night Out, and it was
really cool for girls because that was our main demographic
and it was a great way for us to, you know,
look out for women who are single mothers or teachers
who don't get the chance to get appreciated and do
fun things, or just women in general. So we did
(16:59):
this awesome event at the Sound Factory. It is this
huge fricking nightclub with two floors and always be live performances.
And in there there would be women can get pampered
and get their nails done, their makeup and their hair,
free drinks, free food, activations like client related, live music,
like performers would be there.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
I loved it.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
It was always really really cool. And then there would
be like a male stripper. They would come there, some
strippers and they would strip. But ah, it's a good time.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
This is escalating very quickly.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Wild ninety four nine. It was wild. We'd be up
on stage and having a good time and shot in
the crowd and DJing and bringing people on stage. And
I remember I got a lap dance one time because
I was going through my divorce, so I got a
lap dance on stage and these girls would get ssh.
They would get so drunk. And this is the part
that I always felt bad, because I guess not felt bad,
(17:46):
but just it felt kind of weird because these women
would get drunk for four hours straight and then the factory,
the sound factory, had to open up to the public afterwards,
so then women were getting drunk from about seven to eleven,
and then there would be men outside just waiting to
get inside because all these women had been liquored up
and their chances are pibly a little better because these
women are drunk, and they would get in there at eleven.
(18:08):
It was just like watching It was just like boom boom,
boom boom guys, just like girl girl, girl, girl guy
and girl guys.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
This is what we referred to in the sorority fraternity
world on freshman night after a sorority week like rush week.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Yeah, it was called shark Knight.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Shark knight. This is very much like shark Knight, yeah,
because they're like.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Oh, fresh new blood, who's here?
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Oh yeah, which is a horrible thing to say, and like,
looking back in my life, I know, I know what
you're feeling.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
But the idea of it's really cool and fun and
awesome women get a chance to get out. It's totally
free the guest list. All you do is call up
and then just say your name and give us the
information and you were in. You were on the guest list,
so it didn't cost any money. Any woman could show
up and be there and totally invited. It just felt
a little weird that at the end of it all,
it was just like sharp the gates open the gates. Yeah,
(18:54):
and then and it was all. It was what it was,
and there were so many great things that happened. But
I remember at the end of one of those nights
from Girls Night Out, we were done and Jav and
I were let's get the hell out here, Let's get
some food or go somewhere, And so we got in
the car. What were we doing? Remember walking to the
car or something. And I always had shit on me.
So also you had freaking Lunchboxes podcast where there was
(19:18):
ninety five thousand cuss words. So I think we're okay,
and never say more than just the S word, So
I think we're fine. And that's on the same feed.
And so I remember sitting there and him, me and Natasha,
and then I think there was somebody else, but I
won't call her out because she's still alive and I'm
sure she's fine, and to mention who she is. But
you know who you are if you're listening. And there
was the four of us were sitting there and we're
smoking this pre roll that I got at I think
(19:40):
it was called Double Tree or somewhere. I forget what
it was called Green Station, green Tree, I don't know.
On the mission, it was great, got my pre role.
We're sitting there smoking, I'm fine. He takes like one
hit and he just starts coughing and cofughing and coffin
and he can't stop coughing. And he hasn't either. I
forget he had never smoked, which was so surprising me
that he had never smoked, because I know he did things,
but maybe just never smoked and just did the other
(20:02):
things or.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Didn't have the right person. You know, it has to
be experience.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Yeah he was. Maybe he did a long time ago
and he got paranoid and never woneknew it again because
people say I get paranoid, but I'm like, it's just
your environment, who you're with, and the kind of stuff
you smoke.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
But that happened to me.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Yeah, Okay, he just environment wrong people, wrong stuff.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
I just ended up watching an infomercial for like five hours.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
And I ate like three bags of chips, and I
was like, I never need to see that in my life.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
So you got a chance to check out and ved. Uh,
that's that's what that's sometimes what it can do for you.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
It was, but it's mostly because I couldn't fall asleep
because they didn't really know.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
What was happening.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Okay, all right, so.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Experience and I was like I think I'm good.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Yeah, I'm gonna have my experience. And he just got
he just got so lit where he couldn't stop laughing.
I got him laughing so hard, he was cracking up.
He was coughing, and then he just kept look at me.
He's like, dude, I got to get here. I think
I'm gonna die. He's like, I need to get home.
We were far from his house. I was like, let
me order you an uber. He's like he was trying
to figure out his phone. He couldn't figure out how
to order an uber. And his wife is cracking up
and my friend's cracking up, and I'm the only one
(20:54):
who was like whatever, guys, like, let me order you
a fricking uber, So order him an uber, put him
in the car, and remember the next he was like, dude,
I had never ate so much in my life. He
went home and just devoured his refrigerator, passed out. I
think it was late to work the next day, but
it was a great, awesome memory. That was a good one.
And then this one Felipe, right, yeah, this one will
(21:15):
Felipe and anyone listening to that listened to either JV
as JV by himself when I work with him, or
even more iconic back in the nineties, he was part
of the show called The Doghouse, and The Doghouse was
the biggest West Coast radio station or radio show like ever.
You could not compete with him. I think the closest
maybe been this guy named Jack London on k MEL
(21:38):
that was there for a while, but the Doghouse by
far was the wildest, craziest. Like one time their boss
was ignoring them. You know how sometimes the boss doesn't
take forever to respond to emails or whatever, and he was.
He was not having it. So one day he put
on like a headset, brought a chainsaw to work and
cut a hole like this is clear channel, went to
(21:58):
an office over here, cut a like a dog door
size hole into his office live on the air, knocked
it in, and then poked his head in, like here's
Johnny and he's like, hey, man, I'm trying to get
a hold of you. I'm like, that's the kind of
stuff they would do, like they were wild. They had
the last Biggie interview before Biggie died. Like they have
a lot of iconic memories and moments that were just
so big to the West Coast West Coast scene. But
(22:21):
the one memory for him that the biggest one, I
think was we did this bit where he was talking
about how he's like, man, I could jump in the
bay and catch one of those home runs from a
te and T Field.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Yes. We talked about this.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
And I was like, I was like, I was like, well,
if you can do it, then let's do it. And
I was like, there's no way you can do The
bay is so freaking cold, it's gonna constrict your blood.
You're you're not gonna be able to catch the ball
and then swim across and make it out safely. And
he's like, oh, I totally can do it. And I
was like, all right, kind of like Bobby being like,
I bet I could out run the cops, and so
I was or fiddy kanegrew and I was like, well,
let me set this up. So I was like, well,
one morning, we're gonna go out to the bay and
(22:54):
do this live. And this was back when periscope was huge,
and so our show was we did this bit. And
after we did this bit at iHeartRadio gave us their
log into the periscope and they made it a weekly
feature that the JV shows and me live in the
periscope at eight forty West coast time, which was eleven
forty East coast, and so every week we did a bit,
but this was our first one that really like took
off and I got like millions of hits. So went
(23:15):
to the Bay by at and T Field where the
Giants play. We had a listener there. We threw the
ball into the bay. He jumps in, grabs the ball
and it can barely make it to the end, and
at that point cops were called, fire department was called,
sirens are coming. He makes it to the end. Cops
haven't showed up yet, but the fire department showed up,
which okay, fire department they can't arrest you. They're there
to help you. They got him out. He's winded, he
(23:38):
can't do it. I have this whole thing on periscope,
and we did this whole thing, and then I get
him out of there. As soon as they hear cops sirens,
I'm like, you got to get out of here. Like
we did this. This is great. It made it on
the radio, it's on periscope. But we have to get
out of here. Like you run that way, I'm running
this way. Me and Crystal are going that way. We'll
meet you back at the station. And that was the
end of that story. But it was crazy, was that.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Did he ever get arrested or get in trouble.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
He get fine, He's been fine, he's been arrested, He's
been through all kinds of things for the radio show.
This one. This was in his older age of like
not going crazy. So for me to get in to
do this was a big deal and totally had a
character for him at the stage in his career in
life because he had gotten a ton of trouble from
being on the doghouse back in the day, which to
the dog House is also in New York too, So
when they got in trouble in San Francisco, they got popped,
(24:21):
and they moved to New York and did it for
a couple of years and got popped there and they
came back to San Francisco. His ratings are so big
they had to hire him back.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
At said he just kept getting fined and yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
So he's like, they bring him back, but they were like,
you can't come back with your guy Elvis, who is
his co host, different Elbus from Elvis to Ram. He's like,
you can't bring Elvis back because you two together are
too bad. So they hired just JV. But the point
of the story is the night that he had passed away,
I didn't even know he had passed away. I was
talking to somebody, the same person who he smoked weed
with with JV, and the same person was part of
(24:55):
this bit. I was talking to her on the phone
about her career and how things are going, and we're
talking about JV and I something and she's like, oh
my god, wow, And then I won't say what I said.
And then that night, I'm sitting there on my laptop
doing stuff for this show, Bobby Bone Show, working and
I had that video on my dropbox, and I don't.
(25:15):
It's just there. It just it just lives there. I
don't ever do anything with it. It's just there in
the cloud. It's there if I everyone to, like, if
I need it for something, I don't know, I just
keep it. But it never it's never in my brain.
I don't ever see it visually. But the weirdest thing
in the world happened that night. I'm doing prep, working
on some stuff. It's late at night, and all of
a sudden I get a notification about that video and
that video pops up on my screen and it basically
(25:36):
says you need to delete it because your dropbox is
full or whatever this video in particular, and it pops
up and then somehow it gets downloaded to my download folder.
Like all these weird things tech things happen. I'm like,
this is so weird, and I'm like, oh, whatever, don't
even think about it. And the next morning someone's like, hey,
you okay, and I'm like, what do you mean. He goes, oh,
Javi's he went missing last night, and I was like what,
and they go, that's really weird. And then I was
(25:57):
like And then even fast forward weeks later, he had
taken his life and jumped in the bay in that
in that very same vicinity where we did that bit.
So I'm just like, whoa, that is so wild that
that same night that he took his life. Because he
didn't survive, like that moment he died, they were trying
to find his body for weeks. It's you know, the
Pacific Ocean feeds the bay, so they're thinking, you know,
(26:20):
a shark could have got it, or he could have
been swept out into the Pacific Ocean gone forever. You know,
we don't know where he is. But they did find
his body the Fisherman's wharf two or three weeks later,
I think. But he started at that location. So I'm like,
oh my god, Oh my god, Like what if he
in some sort of almost like in you ever seen
an interstellar Yeah, where matthe McConaughey is.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Like he's like on the other side, Like.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
What if he is like sending this message and messing
with my technology in my computer and popping up this
video to show me Hey, I'm gone, almost like hey
miche love you kind of thing. And this is but
also clues of like this is where I'm at in
the bay, or we did this bit seven years ago. Gosh,
that's so eerie, so eerie, And at the moment, I'm
just like, this is annoying and weird, and I gotta
clear my folder, my drop box. Oh so stupid. I'm
(27:05):
trying to get to bed, but realizing, oh my god,
that was probably JV poking from the other side, sending
me this message.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
Actually, because you have had your moments of ghosts, encounters
and other life yea terms where you're like, Okay, this
feels a little off.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Yeah, it's very possible.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
And that was that was super weird and off, and
I was like, wow, this is so wild, and so
I feel like that was him poking from the other
side and give me some sort of sign of some
sort about him. But I mean a lot of great memories.
I could talk forever about great memories, but also some
bad memories too.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
No, I'm glad you shared these.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
These the bad memories are like the thick skin that
I got in the sense of like it taught me
things that in this career that are good for me
where others don't have it, and I have it because
I've been through I've been through fucking the ringer, damn.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
It all right, we've gotten four beeps.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
That and thank you for listening to the to the
Doghouse if you were that OG or the JV show
mold Oney for nine. That means a lot to me
because that show was by far the show that changed
my life forever as far as my career and pushing
me in different boundaries. And I learned so much from
working not only with JV, but with Rico, who's a
part of that show, because Rico is freaking another OG.
(28:22):
That is just unbelievable what he has done in his career,
like his father worked for Poline, which is like the
like the old school Latin, like the Seacrest or Rick
D's back in the day for Latin music or Latin radio.
And then even like my pds, I worked with like
Kat Collins and Mark Adams and Travis and all his people.
It was a great it was a cool time in
(28:43):
my career.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
And so I love that.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
Well, I'm glad he asked that question, and I want
to I want to end on that.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
I don't feel like I.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
Can ask another question and follow up with that and
there'll be like this whole thing. So we're ending on that, Okay, Cool,
we'll have the other questions in part one.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Well, we'll address him because it'll be fine. We can
geek out on them.
Speaker 1 (28:59):

Speaker 2 (00:24):
I know, but I'm not very good at lying. We've
learned this about me.
Speaker 1 (00:28):

Speaker 2 (00:50):
That's what we appreciate. All right, Hillary and Texas would
like to know how old is Scuba.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Steve west Box mentioned he is, and everyone's like, uh, Excuba.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
This is a question blowing up in this one, like
how old is Scuba?
Speaker 1 (01:04):
I don't know how old am I. I always think that.
And it's funny because I was hanging out my friend
David last night and we were talking about He's like, man,
I just feel I don't know how we got on
the subjects. I always just feel youthful inside. He goes,
I don't feel like I am the age that I
am because I always envision myself as at a certain age.
And I was like, what do you see yourself as?
And he's like, like, nineteen twenty And in my head,
I'm always twenty five no matter what with I mean,
(01:26):
of course, decision making, I have to be a different
kind of adult when it becomes the kids and work
or whatever. But I just feel and think that I'm
twenty five years old always.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
You know that you can feel and think twenty five
but still be a different age.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Of course, Yeah, your time on earth is longer than
what you feel and think. But for me, I'm twenty.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
Five, okay, But being alive is a beautiful thing. If
you live for years, I know you're somewhere in your thirties,
like actually, I just don't know where.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
I know. It's like this one time there are you
know Neo the artist, Yeah, Neil. So he came in
studio when I was in San Francisco and I was
putting together the prep and like, it doesn't really matter
what his age is, but I just put on there
so he knew it. And his birthday I felt like
it was coming up. So I was like, oh, you
mentioned hey, bird just coming out on birthday. And I
put out his age on there as I think it
was at the time. I put thirty three or thirty four.
(02:17):
And he was going through it and he's going, hey,
Neo's here, da da and he mentioned his age. I'm like,
you never mentioned his age. Why would you do that.
It's just there for you just to know all of
a sudden now. And then Neo goes, that's not how
old I am. And then he goes, Steve get in here,
and it was like this like three minute, let's beat
the crap out of Steve for having you know, wrong
information on his prep sheet. And he was like, nah, man,
I goes, I'm thirty seven, and I was like, dude,
(02:37):
online it says that he's thirty three, thirty four whatever
it is. And I went and I found the links
and I showed him and he goes, oh, I bet
that's my pr person trying to make me seem younger
than I really am, so I seem relatable to the audience.
He's like, no, but I'm about to be forty. And
I was like, see, I'm filibustering.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Here and trying to do and what I'm getting here
is that potentially Scowa Steve might be thirty seven, thirty
eight years old. Yeah, he might be coming on forty.
I tell the story about Neo. Yes, if I'm looking
at context, maybe I don't know.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
I'm just telling you a neo story. And this Neo
story is true and it's factual, and it happened, and
he was thirty three thirty four, but he was actually
closer to forty. That's Neo.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
All right, Hillary, We got nowhere.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Schuba was still during his weekend radio show Lisa in Illinois,
so it was a weekday.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
I did it Monday through fa actually Monday through Saturday
on iHeart nineties, and then I stepped away for I
did it for about three months. I loved it. So
much because I was when I was doing it, and
doing the show, it like took me back to being
a kid because everything we talked about on the show
and all the music was things from my childhood. So
I just like envisioned being in Orlando in nineteen ninety
five when en Sync is big and Britney Spears is
(03:43):
going on.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Well, you got to live in some nostalgia.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Yeah, it was. It was a nostalgia city. It was
so much fun. And the audio I got from the
show and using the show was very nostalgic from like
Nickelodeon from the nineties and even people like people that
I would have on through like talkbacks or whatever. It
was just they brought a lot of great things that
just you remember a really fun time for me and
I think for the world. Like the nineties were pretty badass. Yeah,
(04:06):
it was a really incredible time in sports and pop culture.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
I was born in the nineties. Don't have to convince
me to yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Okay, okay, okay. So yeah, it was fun and we
did that for a while, and then I stepped away
for a moment because I was trying to focus on
my next adventure, which we've talked about many freaking times
and yeah, and here we still are there, we still are.
So I put I'm moving in another direction with it
and hopefully have some answers here the next month.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Okay, that's exciting. Yes, yeah, answers or something.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Exactly, Yes, answers or something or I make I create
my own path. But whatever.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
That was so cool too.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
So yeah, I'm not doing it right now as this
is airing, I'm not doing that show anymore, and I'm
not doing anything else that's solo at the moment.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Okay, well, we got an answer on that one job
which once you were you to answer, when is the
last time you had a clean shaven face?
Speaker 2 (05:04):
This is from Tracy and last.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Face, clean shaven face. Let me see if I can
find like me, go to my Instagram timeline because like
if you go to Instagram, I feel like that's what show.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Yeah, what it would be if already for sure the
entire time you've been on the show, you've never had
a Yeah, I've.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Always had the beard, so that's five years for sure,
and I know working with Seacrest, I had the beard
around after my son was born. Oh yeah, so wh
when my son was born in twenty eighteen, you could.
Here's a picture of me and Sean Mendez and I.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Still have short beard.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Yeah, it was like a like a five o'clock yeah,
scruff five o'clock plus. That was twenty eighteen. That was
June twenty eighteen with me and Sean.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
When you first went bald?
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Was that when you didn't have a beard or do
you feel like you had a beard?
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Pretty much your entire t.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
I always had some sort of like facial hair because
my wife, who's my girlfriend at the time, did not
like the way I looked without any facial hair whatsoever.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Got it.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
So she's like, you look at an alien having a
bald head and having no facial hair. Okay, So here's
a picture of me this lavish wedding in March of
twenty nineteen. It was a year after my son's birth.
And you can see the beard's starting to grow in
a little bit.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
So I think I started growing it in twenty eighteen,
and it started getting thicker around twenty nineteen. And then
here's me leaving Ryan Seacre show and there we go
August of twenty nineteen.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Those are still smaller beards than the one that.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
You yet now. Oh oh yeah, yeah, but this is like
it's like growing then. So I would say, like twenty eighteen,
I started growing it, growing it. Twenty nineteen, at the
end of the year, I started getting bigger, and by
twenty twenty, being here in Nashville, then it's like, okay,
it's full on.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Beard in twenty Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
So you really never had a giant period of time
where you were totally just clean shaven all the way around.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
No, it would always have I always had some sort
of five o'clock shadow or like a really mini beard,
like a you know, it's like an inch or half
inch yea off. I mean I had clean shaven when
I was younger. Obviously, I am.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Curious now though, like adult you, because that's kind of
like young you.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Am curious adult you, what you'd look like was just
gruff instead of your beard beard now yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Yeah, I mean who knows what looks like. I know,
I man the absolute worst shape possible. So I'm sure
I got a double chin. This is nice that it
hides it for me.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Let me ask though, because I obviously don't have a beard.
I mean I got little face hairs, but I have
a beard.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
In order to get scruffed.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Do you have to shave it all off and then
you have to let it grow back into scruff or
can you like shave it totally down to be scruffed
of the beard?
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Yeah, almost, like how you would shave a head, Like
if you had like longer hair and someone, you know,
they buzz cut it and there's still some hair there.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
It would create the same effect or would it be?
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Like yeah, I mean the best effect is to shave
it skin and then let it grow in a little bit,
because then you can get that real true like scruffy
five o'clock shadow, like the like the OGC crest look,
or trying who is someone that had David Beckham that look?
I mean, yeah, of course you can trim it, but
the best is to go totally naked and then let
it grow a little bit, because then it comes in
all even it looks good.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
That's what I thought. I was curious of the process. Yeah, yeah,
I never knew.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Yes. I usually would let it grow a little bit
and then I would take the thing to it and
like trim it short and then after a while like okay,
let me start fresh again and then do the whole thing. Yeah,
but that was a long time ago of me doing that.
I think from twenty I mean i'd say twenty ten
to twenty fifteen. I did versions of that, and before
twenty ten there was much hair there at all.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Okay, Yeah, thank you for the beard lesson. Yeah, I've
got a lot of information here.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
I ever get a boyfriend, I'll have it all. What
es think about the country rap scene? Robert from Bay Area, California.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
The country rap scene I always appreciate and I think
something who's really good at at If you ever listen
to serious XM Shade forty five, which is Ello Cool
Jays Sorry, Rock the Bells is LLO Cool Jaystation Shade
forty five is eminem so rock the Bells which is
Llo Cool Jay's station Channel forty three. Too Short. Who's
a Barrier rapper? Which Robert is?
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Robert right, Yeah, he's Barry.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Robert definitely knows who Too Short is. He knows who
Kick the Sneak is, he knows who be Legit is,
he knows who E forty.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Love these names all I'm head.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
They have some many cool names in the Barrier for
the rappers, but every region and Too Short does a
great job highlighting this on his show. There's so many different,
like great influences in regions where their sounds are totally different,
like the Southern rap, which for the longest time was
Atlanta based, and that was like Ludacris and outcasts, he
had a different sound. And then you had like kind
(09:17):
of the Midwest, which was the Nelly or like the
party sound, and then New York was very like oh.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Cool like you, But does like the Southern rap constitute
as like country rap or.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
I think the country out he maybe was more referring
to like the hick hop or whatever, which is kind.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Of like, well, I don't know, like this is I
listened to rap music, but I don't have a lot
of background nolg rap. So that's why I'm asking you
if that like could still constitute Like is there moments
where Ludacris, who you said was one of the Southern ones, Yeah, yeah,
sounds a little bit like country rap or is it
all just really more rap and he's just rooted in
the South.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
I think he would be country, he'd be more just
the southern type style where it kind of can play
a little twangy. But it's not like he doesn't talk
like a least a little bit in rap. He's just
from the South, So his storylines and his his inspiration
and his and his content of the lyrics are Southern based,
whereas like the West Coast and the East Coast, which
(10:12):
mostly be the New York versus you know, Compton, Compton
and w A, Oakland and the Bay Area even like
the Bay Arito to La is sort of different a
sense of what it was. And then even got Miami Rap.
He had like two live crew in that boom bap
shit and all that.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Sorry we made it ten minutes, Okay.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
But yeah, so like there's really it's like always different
textures and these different stories and the different lives, and
because they lived different lives, the different kinds of raps
and different kind of lyrics. The hic cop or the
Southern hip hop. Maybe he's referring to more like that Nashville, Kentucky,
which could be more of like the up Church or
guys like Jelly Roll before they got into the country music,
(10:54):
or like a Struggle Jennings who is wrapped, or a
yellow Wolf who is a rapper and really good. I
guess I like that. I appreciate any kind of as
a kid, I was always like, oh, I'm only West Coast.
I love West Coast, I loved I loved all LA
based hip hop. But then as I got older, I'm like,
why would I ever close myself off to anything. It's
just yeah, I love rap. I don't care what it is,
(11:17):
and I appreciate even I appreciate every version of it,
even like looking at Detroit and all that kind of stuff.
I just love hip hop so much, so much because
it provides so many different sounds in that one genre
where I feel like other genre as it is in
that like country is kind of just country, and pop
is I mean, you know, some influences from the international
pop or the island pop sort of maybe pops on
(11:40):
a good example, but country's country. But hip hop is
so different no matter where you go in in our country,
it's got a different vibe, different sound. So I like
it. It's not my favorite, but I appreciate it and like it.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Okay, well there you go, the expert in Beard's and
hip hop music. We're gonna take a quick break. I'm
gonna be right back.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Back from our break, and we don't have any more
Beard and music questions. I am so sorry.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
That's all good. I'm not sorry, sorry, not sorry, Yeah, exactly, Yeah,
it's all good. I answered them. So they got their answers.
So what do you want.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Well, Natalie, who I'm gonna believe is from California, okay,
wants to know if you're eventually gonna leave and go
back to California or Florida one of the coasts.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Yeah, I mean that kind of ties into my thoughts
of my future. I mean, I don't have any plans
at the moment because I'm settled, settled into Nashville in
the sense that, you know, I found my community with
the basketball team and coaching these kids, and then my
son really likes his school, and my wife seems to
be pretty much okay. I mean, she definitely is one
that misses California the absolute most because her family's still
(12:42):
there and her family doesn't come my hair that often,
so she misses them a lot. So she's definitely the
driving force of you know, where do we go next.
I've never really been ever, I'd never been really tied
to a city ever since I left my home of Orlando.
I've never been like, well, I got to stay somewhere
forever that maybe I could have been La for me.
I could have stayed in La forever and been okay
with it, especially if I didn't have kids. But I
(13:02):
guess a long winded way to answer it is I
don't know. But I could see myself. I've never married
to anywhere. I could see myself staying here in Nashville.
I could see myself living back in Orlando. I could
see myself in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Atlanta, New York.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
I say, would you move somewhere new too?
Speaker 1 (13:21):
I told you somewhere new. Yeah, like Atlanta would always
be somewhere I could think of myself living where. It's
still kind of has that La in New York and
a little bit of Nashville feel because it's a big
city and they do filming there and they have television
shows and movies and music entertainment.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Atlanta's kind of the new hotspot versus Los Angeles or
New York exactly.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Atlanta's massive. And even Chicago. I think Chicago is a
cool city. It's a very family friendly city.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Okay, I could.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
See myself there as well too. It's just really cold,
that's the only thing. Yeah. And I love the beach
and I love the water. There is a massive lake there,
but that massive lake pushes a lot of cold air
into the city. So you know, I guess I am
never I've never shut myself off to an opportunity. I
know there's some cities on my list that I would
never want to live or I don't have any interest
in living. I don't. I don't want to piss anyone off.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Oh yeah, yeah, I was gonna ask, but never mind.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Yeah, I mean, I don't mind saying. I just it's
probably obvious places, you know. I mean I couldn't and
I'm not saying I couldn't see myself living some of
these places. They just don't have what I want for
my career and which never would live there, that's right, Yeah,
driven through it. But I would never live there because
there's nothing there for me. You know, I don't work
for Boeing and I and I don't and I and
(14:32):
I don't. I don't. I don't have any family there.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Any ties, but never Cook family. You know, they got
lots of ties.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
The Coca Cola family.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
No Coke family. Ko ko h oh cock?
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Is it cock?
Speaker 2 (14:43):
No, it's coke?
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Oh, it's Coke. What do they do?
Speaker 3 (14:45):
They're like super wealthy. The Koch brothers super wealthy businessmen.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Okay, yes, oh yeah, they're invested in everything.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Yeah, yes, lots and lots of things. They're also there, gotcha.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
That was where they grew up, Kansas, I think, okay,
and they still based out of the Actually I.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Say that, I don't know if they grew up there,
if they just like raised all their families there and whatnot,
but like there, I believe their headquarters is.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
There, okay, brothers Okay.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
And yes, for some reason, it's pronounsco That's why. That's
what every Kanson has ever called them. So if it
is cock or something else, we've always.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Said, yeah, okay, I got your Coke family.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Yeah. Even the news so.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Okay, well I think the news that they're saying it,
then they then obviously it's.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Well, you know, you never know, because everything I've ever
seen in my life is always wrong.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
So true.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Yeah, Italian, I just I don't trust myself anymore. Was
a fan of JV since twenty seventeen. Any favorite memories
of him? Felipe in New York City.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Wow, I wonder if that's Felipe Asparza. Wait, that's a comedian,
but maybe knows me, he's in New York. Wow, you
know this person knows JV. Interesting.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Yeah, he said he's been a fan of him, so
he's been listening.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Wow, Okay, that's really cool. So I would say, what
was the question? And I just got thrown off.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Favorite memory of him?
Speaker 1 (15:55):
My favorite memory of him? I man, I have a
lot of great memories, a lot of crazy memories. Some memories.
I don't know if I should be able. I don't
know if I guess he's dead now, So can you
talk about people that are dead and things you did
that may.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Have not been That's entirely your decision. Okay, whatever you
are comfortable with.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Well, I was the first person to I think, get
him to smoke weed ever, or or the first time
in a really long time. I think it may have
been ever because him and Natasha had never smoked, or
she claimed she never smoked. And so I remember we
were going to one of our events. It was called
girls night out. Just by the way, girls night out
when you're a single guy is the greatest event ever
because they can't do this anymore now because people get,
(16:38):
you know, upset about not including all these different people. Yeah,
so back in the day, you had these events of
the Sound Factory called Girls Night Out, and it was
really cool for girls because that was our main demographic
and it was a great way for us to, you know,
look out for women who are single mothers or teachers
who don't get the chance to get appreciated and do
fun things, or just women in general. So we did
(16:59):
this awesome event at the Sound Factory. It is this
huge fricking nightclub with two floors and always be live performances.
And in there there would be women can get pampered
and get their nails done, their makeup and their hair,
free drinks, free food, activations like client related, live music,
like performers would be there.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
I loved it.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
It was always really really cool. And then there would
be like a male stripper. They would come there, some
strippers and they would strip. But ah, it's a good time.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
This is escalating very quickly.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Wild ninety four nine. It was wild. We'd be up
on stage and having a good time and shot in
the crowd and DJing and bringing people on stage. And
I remember I got a lap dance one time because
I was going through my divorce, so I got a
lap dance on stage and these girls would get ssh.
They would get so drunk. And this is the part
that I always felt bad, because I guess not felt bad,
(17:46):
but just it felt kind of weird because these women
would get drunk for four hours straight and then the factory,
the sound factory, had to open up to the public afterwards,
so then women were getting drunk from about seven to eleven,
and then there would be men outside just waiting to
get inside because all these women had been liquored up
and their chances are pibly a little better because these
women are drunk, and they would get in there at eleven.
(18:08):
It was just like watching It was just like boom boom,
boom boom guys, just like girl girl, girl, girl guy
and girl guys.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
This is what we referred to in the sorority fraternity
world on freshman night after a sorority week like rush week.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Yeah, it was called shark Knight.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Shark knight. This is very much like shark Knight, yeah,
because they're like.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Oh, fresh new blood, who's here?
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Oh yeah, which is a horrible thing to say, and like,
looking back in my life, I know, I know what
you're feeling.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
But the idea of it's really cool and fun and
awesome women get a chance to get out. It's totally
free the guest list. All you do is call up
and then just say your name and give us the
information and you were in. You were on the guest list,
so it didn't cost any money. Any woman could show
up and be there and totally invited. It just felt
a little weird that at the end of it all,
it was just like sharp the gates open the gates. Yeah,
(18:54):
and then and it was all. It was what it was,
and there were so many great things that happened. But
I remember at the end of one of those nights
from Girls Night Out, we were done and Jav and
I were let's get the hell out here, Let's get
some food or go somewhere, And so we got in
the car. What were we doing? Remember walking to the
car or something. And I always had shit on me.
So also you had freaking Lunchboxes podcast where there was
(19:18):
ninety five thousand cuss words. So I think we're okay,
and never say more than just the S word, So
I think we're fine. And that's on the same feed.
And so I remember sitting there and him, me and Natasha,
and then I think there was somebody else, but I
won't call her out because she's still alive and I'm
sure she's fine, and to mention who she is. But
you know who you are if you're listening. And there
was the four of us were sitting there and we're
smoking this pre roll that I got at I think
(19:40):
it was called Double Tree or somewhere. I forget what
it was called Green Station, green Tree, I don't know.
On the mission, it was great, got my pre role.
We're sitting there smoking, I'm fine. He takes like one
hit and he just starts coughing and cofughing and coffin
and he can't stop coughing. And he hasn't either. I
forget he had never smoked, which was so surprising me
that he had never smoked, because I know he did things,
but maybe just never smoked and just did the other
(20:02):
things or.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Didn't have the right person. You know, it has to
be experience.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Yeah he was. Maybe he did a long time ago
and he got paranoid and never woneknew it again because
people say I get paranoid, but I'm like, it's just
your environment, who you're with, and the kind of stuff
you smoke.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
But that happened to me.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Yeah, Okay, he just environment wrong people, wrong stuff.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
I just ended up watching an infomercial for like five hours.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
And I ate like three bags of chips, and I
was like, I never need to see that in my life.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
So you got a chance to check out and ved. Uh,
that's that's what that's sometimes what it can do for you.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
It was, but it's mostly because I couldn't fall asleep
because they didn't really know.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
What was happening.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Okay, all right, so.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Experience and I was like I think I'm good.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Yeah, I'm gonna have my experience. And he just got
he just got so lit where he couldn't stop laughing.
I got him laughing so hard, he was cracking up.
He was coughing, and then he just kept look at me.
He's like, dude, I got to get here. I think
I'm gonna die. He's like, I need to get home.
We were far from his house. I was like, let
me order you an uber. He's like he was trying
to figure out his phone. He couldn't figure out how
to order an uber. And his wife is cracking up
and my friend's cracking up, and I'm the only one
(20:54):
who was like whatever, guys, like, let me order you
a fricking uber, So order him an uber, put him
in the car, and remember the next he was like, dude,
I had never ate so much in my life. He
went home and just devoured his refrigerator, passed out. I
think it was late to work the next day, but
it was a great, awesome memory. That was a good one.
And then this one Felipe, right, yeah, this one will
(21:15):
Felipe and anyone listening to that listened to either JV
as JV by himself when I work with him, or
even more iconic back in the nineties, he was part
of the show called The Doghouse, and The Doghouse was
the biggest West Coast radio station or radio show like ever.
You could not compete with him. I think the closest
maybe been this guy named Jack London on k MEL
(21:38):
that was there for a while, but the Doghouse by
far was the wildest, craziest. Like one time their boss
was ignoring them. You know how sometimes the boss doesn't
take forever to respond to emails or whatever, and he was.
He was not having it. So one day he put
on like a headset, brought a chainsaw to work and
cut a hole like this is clear channel, went to
(21:58):
an office over here, cut a like a dog door
size hole into his office live on the air, knocked
it in, and then poked his head in, like here's
Johnny and he's like, hey, man, I'm trying to get
a hold of you. I'm like, that's the kind of
stuff they would do, like they were wild. They had
the last Biggie interview before Biggie died. Like they have
a lot of iconic memories and moments that were just
so big to the West Coast West Coast scene. But
(22:21):
the one memory for him that the biggest one, I
think was we did this bit where he was talking
about how he's like, man, I could jump in the
bay and catch one of those home runs from a
te and T Field.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Yes. We talked about this.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
And I was like, I was like, I was like, well,
if you can do it, then let's do it. And
I was like, there's no way you can do The
bay is so freaking cold, it's gonna constrict your blood.
You're you're not gonna be able to catch the ball
and then swim across and make it out safely. And
he's like, oh, I totally can do it. And I
was like, all right, kind of like Bobby being like,
I bet I could out run the cops, and so
I was or fiddy kanegrew and I was like, well,
let me set this up. So I was like, well,
one morning, we're gonna go out to the bay and
(22:54):
do this live. And this was back when periscope was huge,
and so our show was we did this bit. And
after we did this bit at iHeartRadio gave us their
log into the periscope and they made it a weekly
feature that the JV shows and me live in the
periscope at eight forty West coast time, which was eleven
forty East coast, and so every week we did a bit,
but this was our first one that really like took
off and I got like millions of hits. So went
(23:15):
to the Bay by at and T Field where the
Giants play. We had a listener there. We threw the
ball into the bay. He jumps in, grabs the ball
and it can barely make it to the end, and
at that point cops were called, fire department was called,
sirens are coming. He makes it to the end. Cops
haven't showed up yet, but the fire department showed up,
which okay, fire department they can't arrest you. They're there
to help you. They got him out. He's winded, he
(23:38):
can't do it. I have this whole thing on periscope,
and we did this whole thing, and then I get
him out of there. As soon as they hear cops sirens,
I'm like, you got to get out of here. Like
we did this. This is great. It made it on
the radio, it's on periscope. But we have to get
out of here. Like you run that way, I'm running
this way. Me and Crystal are going that way. We'll
meet you back at the station. And that was the
end of that story. But it was crazy, was that.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Did he ever get arrested or get in trouble.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
He get fine, He's been fine, he's been arrested, He's
been through all kinds of things for the radio show.
This one. This was in his older age of like
not going crazy. So for me to get in to
do this was a big deal and totally had a
character for him at the stage in his career in
life because he had gotten a ton of trouble from
being on the doghouse back in the day, which to
the dog House is also in New York too, So
when they got in trouble in San Francisco, they got popped,
(24:21):
and they moved to New York and did it for
a couple of years and got popped there and they
came back to San Francisco. His ratings are so big
they had to hire him back.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
At said he just kept getting fined and yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
So he's like, they bring him back, but they were like,
you can't come back with your guy Elvis, who is
his co host, different Elbus from Elvis to Ram. He's like,
you can't bring Elvis back because you two together are
too bad. So they hired just JV. But the point
of the story is the night that he had passed away,
I didn't even know he had passed away. I was
talking to somebody, the same person who he smoked weed
with with JV, and the same person was part of
(24:55):
this bit. I was talking to her on the phone
about her career and how things are going, and we're
talking about JV and I something and she's like, oh
my god, wow, And then I won't say what I said.
And then that night, I'm sitting there on my laptop
doing stuff for this show, Bobby Bone Show, working and
I had that video on my dropbox, and I don't.
(25:15):
It's just there. It just it just lives there. I
don't ever do anything with it. It's just there in
the cloud. It's there if I everyone to, like, if
I need it for something, I don't know, I just
keep it. But it never it's never in my brain.
I don't ever see it visually. But the weirdest thing
in the world happened that night. I'm doing prep, working
on some stuff. It's late at night, and all of
a sudden I get a notification about that video and
that video pops up on my screen and it basically
(25:36):
says you need to delete it because your dropbox is
full or whatever this video in particular, and it pops
up and then somehow it gets downloaded to my download folder.
Like all these weird things tech things happen. I'm like,
this is so weird, and I'm like, oh, whatever, don't
even think about it. And the next morning someone's like, hey,
you okay, and I'm like, what do you mean. He goes, oh,
Javi's he went missing last night, and I was like what,
and they go, that's really weird. And then I was
(25:57):
like And then even fast forward weeks later, he had
taken his life and jumped in the bay in that
in that very same vicinity where we did that bit.
So I'm just like, whoa, that is so wild that
that same night that he took his life. Because he
didn't survive, like that moment he died, they were trying
to find his body for weeks. It's you know, the
Pacific Ocean feeds the bay, so they're thinking, you know,
(26:20):
a shark could have got it, or he could have
been swept out into the Pacific Ocean gone forever. You know,
we don't know where he is. But they did find
his body the Fisherman's wharf two or three weeks later,
I think. But he started at that location. So I'm like,
oh my god, Oh my god, Like what if he
in some sort of almost like in you ever seen
an interstellar Yeah, where matthe McConaughey is.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Like he's like on the other side, Like.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
What if he is like sending this message and messing
with my technology in my computer and popping up this
video to show me Hey, I'm gone, almost like hey
miche love you kind of thing. And this is but
also clues of like this is where I'm at in
the bay, or we did this bit seven years ago. Gosh,
that's so eerie, so eerie, And at the moment, I'm
just like, this is annoying and weird, and I gotta
clear my folder, my drop box. Oh so stupid. I'm
(27:05):
trying to get to bed, but realizing, oh my god,
that was probably JV poking from the other side, sending
me this message.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
Actually, because you have had your moments of ghosts, encounters
and other life yea terms where you're like, Okay, this
feels a little off.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Yeah, it's very possible.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
And that was that was super weird and off, and
I was like, wow, this is so wild, and so
I feel like that was him poking from the other
side and give me some sort of sign of some
sort about him. But I mean a lot of great memories.

bad memories too.

things that in this career that are good for me
where others don't have it, and I have it because
I've been through I've been through fucking the ringer, damn.

Doghouse if you were that OG or the JV show
mold Oney for nine. That means a lot to me
