(02:46):
about ninety four you would just takeacid and go out on stage and point
of shock to everyone if you comeout to American Comedy Company. That's my
closer. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. One of my
favorite stories of all time. Weused to have a thing here in San
Diego called Street Scene, and theywould literally be downtown and they'd close off

(03:08):
all the streets and they would dodifferent stages and different bands would play,
and it was it was awesome backin the day. You know. They
had me bring out some different bands, and one of the times I brought
out Sublime. It was one ofthe coolest ones because I was a big
fan. But then for some reason, something happened and they started a riot
where they where they were picking upgarbage cans and throwing it at the audience

(03:30):
because the audience threw something on stageor something and they didn't like it,
and they started a whole Riot's realunderstanding right there, like watching this go
down. It was one of thecrazy I always knew fred Durst was not
original. No, I stole thatfrom Yes, that's what kicked off Woodstock.
Yeah, that's awesome. BlimE isgreat. Man. They got their

(03:53):
start just playing house parties and theywould go house fared house party and they
build up such a following that that'show they got like huge. Well,
it's crazy. Last year he hadBradley's son Whoa, and he sang a
Sublime song live on our show.Oh my god. It was one of
the coolest things I've ever been apart of. And now he's going to
start touring with the remaining members ofSupport together. I love that. It's

(04:20):
almost creepy. That was such anunfair shake with them. Man, with
him past the pot, I know, you know, that's so cool to
hear, and what a beautiful thingfor him to carry on that. I
love I love it. I thinkit's one of the cooler stories. Now
you have a whole podcast right whereyou talking about music and things like that.
Yeah. Yeah, it's called Beand Ian with Jordan's It's me and

(04:43):
my best friend Jordan Jensen. She'sso such a funny comic and we're both
very sick in the head and hereshe was. Yeah, Okay, Yeah,
did she do radio in the morning. She was like almost sold out,
so she's like, I'm good.Yeah, shes mornings And that is
a huge issue with the podcast.Ye Garfield, Yeah she does. If

(05:13):
it's on my plate, she'll eatit. So does she asked before she
takes something off your plate? Oryou guys tight enough where she can just
grab something off your plate. That'sassuming she's polite. She just grabs it
runs like a little red now.Man, she's the best. We have
so much fun together and it's likeWayne's World meets Pee Wee's Playhouse. We

(05:33):
try to have a feel of likeyou're just I mean, it's it's literally
in my basement. I build apodcast studio in my basement. It's all
like old wood paneling and records onthe wall and like all this like knickknacks
and stuff. And we just wantto make it feel like you're hanging with
your friends in the basement in highschool when your parents aren't in town.

(05:54):

about now? Just anything? Okay, we have a tay that's fun.

comics are very like, you know, we're traveling, we're like always moving
