The Bernie Train

[00:00:21] Speaker A: Welcome to what you thinking, friend? My name is Cody Lindaberry with me. [00:00:26] Speaker B: As always, Ed Worl. [00:00:29] Speaker A: How the hell are you, Ed? [00:00:30] Speaker B: It's. It's been a minute. We. Montana has gone through its moody, you know, December weather. Like it. Like it normally does. [00:00:39] Speaker A: The Moody Blues. [00:00:40] Speaker B: Then it was almost freaking 60 degrees yesterday on. It's just. I don't get it. [00:00:47] Speaker A: You can see all four seasons within one day easily. [00:00:50] Speaker B: Oh, God. Yeah. We all. We almost did. [00:00:53] Speaker A: Yes. We usually have at least one day where it hits all four. [00:00:58] Speaker B: And I do have a problem with four seasons in Montana because, well, fall is only like three weeks long. I don't think it's fair to call it a season. [00:01:07] Speaker A: True. But you get the. You especially, you get to walk through frosted leaves on sidewalks. [00:01:17] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. [00:01:18] Speaker A: So, yeah, that's got to be a trajectory fuckery. [00:01:22] Speaker B: Oh, it's weird. Definitely. Oh, yeah, definitely. Definitely. [00:01:27] Speaker A: All right. So originally, as we do these kind of things, you send me text and I send you text via back and forth of ideas for this little podcast that we say, what you thinking, friend? [00:01:46] Speaker B: I. I was sitting here. We. We were. Becky and I were driving down the road the other day and live Creed came on the radio and I'm sitting here. I asked her. I'm like, what would be the ultimate concert? You could call it, like, most hated Band Fest or something, because Creed really does have the demo. The. The whole Internet hates Creed for some reason. Yeah, I don't really know why. They're not a great band. They're not a bad band. They're just kind of one of those that you're like, all right, I know this song. I'm not going to change the channel. But yeah, as like I always say, they're not good enough to add to a playlist. [00:02:36] Speaker A: As someone I know, they. They said if you did a guitar band of. Of Creed or Nickelback, it'd be the same three chords. [00:02:45] Speaker B: So that was where I was going with this is okay. Headlining would be Nickelback. [00:02:51] Speaker A: Yeah, for sure. [00:02:53] Speaker B: Opening would be Creed. But who would open for those two bands. [00:02:59] Speaker A: Man? Because you're. Are. Are we going by the Eras tour version of this where it's like, it could be like 2000s. [00:03:06] Speaker B: It could be like revenge of the late 90s, early 2000s. Like shiprocked used to be like the crew Shiprock. My. I just. I don't know. I'm. That's where I'm kind of at a loss is. Who would be the. The third Creed is a. Creed is. [00:03:26] Speaker A: A good second bill. [00:03:28] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:03:28] Speaker A: Right on Its own. You don't. Would you almost go like a Hanson. [00:03:33] Speaker B: As an opener for Hanson as an opener. That's not bad. I didn't even go down that rock that, that road of pop rock. My head was spinning in the alternative hard rock type of space. [00:03:46] Speaker A: Yeah, you, you tend to swim in that pool pretty often. [00:03:49] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, yeah. [00:03:51] Speaker A: And, and that's not a bad thing, but it also. You gotta expand your mind because I know I, but you're thinking in the mains of like, every, if it comes on, you have the one drunk chick at the bar go, I love this song. I'm gonna play 15 times. [00:04:07] Speaker B: That's, that's usually Cody. [00:04:09] Speaker A: Don't get at me for my Latter Day Saints, okay? [00:04:14] Speaker B: Oh, okay. Gosh, Anson's a good pick. [00:04:19] Speaker A: It's a, it's a 90s pick, though. [00:04:22] Speaker B: It's a very 90s early pick. Yeah, early pick. Is there any more modern group that you would throw in there? Because there's always a modern group that opens that nobody's ever heard of. [00:04:34] Speaker A: All right. We have to go into the means of, like, the eras of it because if you were thinking of the 90s, a lot of people did not like Hootie and the Blowfish. [00:04:44] Speaker B: I actually liked them more in the 90s than I do now. [00:04:47] Speaker A: But, but, but it's that they're popular for a reason. As much as many people gave Nickelback or Creed, for some reason it was still played. [00:05:00] Speaker B: They know how to write. They know how to write a song. That's, that's it. [00:05:05] Speaker A: For what that is worth. Do you include boy bands into this mix? Do you wonder? Because you can go into many stipulations into that thing, but the weird wise, you're just trying to go bands that are hated just to be hated. And then you're like, there's no reason. Or is there a reason? [00:05:23] Speaker B: I, I, I'm gonna have to go. If you're gonna throw boy bands into the group, I'm gonna have to go with New Kids on the Block. [00:05:31] Speaker A: The original, the. [00:05:33] Speaker B: Yeah, I, I can't remember. Becky's brother mentioned this to me the other day that there was, he couldn't remember if it was Becky Backstreet Boys or something like that. They said the New Kids on the Block set, set, boy bands back 10 years because they were just, just that kind of awful. [00:05:56] Speaker A: So you basically have the hat trick then if you're going that route of like, Backstreet versus NSync versus, like 98 degrees, because that was so that was the. And I wouldn't be surprised if 98 degrees was the one that was, like, set pop music back. [00:06:12] Speaker B: Oh, God, yeah. [00:06:13] Speaker A: 10 years. [00:06:15] Speaker B: So battle of the Bands to become the. The opening group for this terrible concert. [00:06:23] Speaker A: Like, no. Because I think to the death you're right there. There's a. If you're gonna keep it to the concert of, like, past alt rock aficionados that a banzit are liked by some enough to sell millions and not liked by the masses. [00:06:43] Speaker B: My pick would be Kid Rock. Ooh. Because I absolutely just despise Kid Rock. And he should absolutely be the opening group. [00:06:54] Speaker A: God Ball. With the ball. Indeed. Yeah. Good. Good call. [00:07:00] Speaker B: American badass. You are not. [00:07:06] Speaker A: Man. [00:07:07] Speaker B: I just. I. I don't know. He's such a poser. [00:07:12] Speaker A: Because you're kind of leaning on the. Not downfalling on it. But it's just the kind of Christian rock. But then again, Nickelback gets away with a couple songs in there. [00:07:22] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. [00:07:24] Speaker A: Sneaking. Sneaking one past the goal. [00:07:27] Speaker B: Kid Rock is kind of the complete opposite of what Creed is. [00:07:31] Speaker A: Yeah, man. That's a. That's a hard bill to. To put in you. [00:07:36] Speaker B: You would almost have to make Creed the opener. [00:07:39] Speaker A: Oh, I got it. I got it. [00:07:41] Speaker B: Okay. [00:07:42] Speaker A: Pod. [00:07:44] Speaker B: They're amazing live, though. But they. People do love to hate them. [00:07:49] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:07:49] Speaker B: I went through my face. [00:07:52] Speaker A: But that is in the same realm of the type of music that it is. They're popular. [00:08:01] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:08:01] Speaker A: Some people hate them for no apparent reason. [00:08:03] Speaker B: Right. [00:08:04] Speaker A: And they. They stick to their guns when it comes to the music. [00:08:11] Speaker B: I. I would agree with that pick sold. [00:08:16] Speaker A: Coming in with. [00:08:17] Speaker B: I would be. And yet I'd be in line to go to that concert again. I'd be like, all right, fair enough. Got to give them their own. [00:08:26] Speaker A: Fair enough. But this leads to the perfect question. Guessing how much Ed spent on Lincoln park tickets. This is the perfect segue for that. Just because you're going from one show to another. [00:08:42] Speaker B: It is. It is. [00:08:44] Speaker A: Keep. Keep going down the line. Works out. [00:08:47] Speaker B: So we. We. I will preface this by saying the tickets were purchased through Ticketmaster. And I know your love hate relationship with Ticketmaster, boy. As in you love to hate them. [00:09:00] Speaker A: Oh, fucking hate them. I. If Taylor Swift and the Swifties could save the day and just make Ticketmaster be on the podium for, like, the government and all this bullshit. [00:09:12] Speaker B: I will say my experience was just fine. Okay, well, with buying tickets, go ahead. [00:09:21] Speaker A: Okay, now, question for you before we get into this. Do you have your ticket prices segmented, as in fees and original tickets? [00:09:34] Speaker B: It's a grouped altogether. Yes. Her ticket with the fees. [00:09:41] Speaker A: But. Okay, but you know what I mean, like, if. If I'm gonna get. Okay, you got two tickets, correct? [00:09:48] Speaker B: Yes. [00:09:53] Speaker A: Let's play if. All right, I'm gonna go with $640 for the pair, making it 320 apiece. But. But that's. That's not fees. [00:10:09] Speaker B: Okay. [00:10:09] Speaker A: I'm gonna add on another $60 per ticket for fees, so that's gonna round it up to 720. [00:10:21] Speaker B: You are way off. [00:10:24] Speaker A: Okay. [00:10:25] Speaker B: Holy crap. Off. Like, you're. [00:10:28] Speaker A: I lowered my high. [00:10:30] Speaker B: You're way high. You're way, way high. [00:10:34] Speaker A: Sorry, I was. I was thinking Chester Bennington era tour here. [00:10:38] Speaker B: Well, so I will say this right now. That's what the tickets are going for. I did not pay that. [00:10:45] Speaker A: Oh, so that's what. [00:10:48] Speaker B: So that's what they're going for now. [00:10:50] Speaker A: So I'm technically correct without actually looking at. [00:10:54] Speaker B: Yes, that's. That's roughly what they're going for now. I. I looked what tickets were going for around where we're sitting, and that's roughly what they're going for without actually. [00:11:06] Speaker A: Having looked at a Ticketmaster to see this, because I want to make sure that our podcast has integrity. [00:11:13] Speaker B: You were damn close, I will tell you that. [00:11:16] Speaker A: Yeah, well, I feel better about the day. [00:11:18] Speaker B: You were about $20, $30 off per ticket for what they're going for right at this moment. $30 high, $30 low. [00:11:27] Speaker A: Oh, all right. Now I gotta say that with the fees, though, that's. That's the. [00:11:35] Speaker B: That you're probably way closer with the fees. [00:11:37] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's. That's where the money maker is. Yeah, that's where the. You. Well, damn. [00:11:47] Speaker B: Damn. You are. Holy crap. High on your price for what I paid. [00:11:52] Speaker A: All right, so I'm just gonna go ballpark. 280 for the combo. [00:12:03] Speaker B: You're still high. [00:12:05] Speaker A: How much did you pay? [00:12:06] Speaker B: I paid. We paid $92 a ticket. [00:12:10] Speaker A: Okay. [00:12:11] Speaker B: And including the insurance was something like. I want to say it was right around 30 or 40 for fees. [00:12:24] Speaker A: Okay. [00:12:25] Speaker B: So we ended up paying $32 a ticket or $32 total for the insurance on the tickets and everything, too. [00:12:34] Speaker A: So you're about 122 per. [00:12:38] Speaker B: All right. In that ballpark. Yeah. I can't remember the exact number, so about 244 bucks. [00:12:47] Speaker A: Round up to 250 if you want to. For the. Yeah, for the kids at home. [00:12:51] Speaker B: Yeah. And the whole reason why I got them so cheap is I got pre. Pre, pre order tickets. [00:13:00] Speaker A: You have been on the Lincoln Park Bandwagon as long as they've been a band. [00:13:06] Speaker B: Correct. I have been a Linkin park underground member since 2001. [00:13:12] Speaker A: That is 23 years of commitment. [00:13:16] Speaker B: Correct. [00:13:17] Speaker A: Good job. [00:13:18] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:13:19] Speaker A: Your loyalty has paid off. [00:13:21] Speaker B: It has, yeah. [00:13:24] Speaker A: Nice. [00:13:25] Speaker B: No, I'm, I'm all, all excited for it. I think it's going to be a good concert. We don't know who's opening as of yet. The only thing we know is the only thing that's constant through the tour is a rapper named JPEG Mafia. [00:13:39] Speaker A: Okay. [00:13:40] Speaker B: That's what I said. I'm like, never heard of them. Must be something Mike likes or something. [00:13:44] Speaker A: Yeah, it usually handles that way. [00:13:48] Speaker B: Yeah. So that'll. That'll be an interesting experience. [00:13:52] Speaker A: That's fair. Yeah, man, that, that's a. That's a gamble because you never know who might show up. [00:14:00] Speaker B: Right. [00:14:01] Speaker A: And. Well, and that's okay. [00:14:03] Speaker B: All the rumors or anyone from. Well, Queens of the Stone Age is opening only the LA show, but Queens of the Stone Age, the system of it down to Architects, man. [00:14:17] Speaker A: If you landed System, awesome would be. [00:14:20] Speaker B: And where. The last North American stop before they go down to South America. [00:14:27] Speaker A: As somebody who's seen Queens of Stone Age, I would say that it's. That would have been a hell of a bill. [00:14:32] Speaker B: Right. [00:14:35] Speaker A: With that said, I know you well enough that, like, System would be. [00:14:40] Speaker B: Oh, System would be amazing. [00:14:42] Speaker A: Hands down. [00:14:43] Speaker B: Yeah. But I know System's not doing too many tours or anything right now, so I don't know if they're just doing one off. One off shows or what's going on. [00:14:53] Speaker A: They could cherry pick As. I mean. [00:14:55] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. [00:14:56] Speaker A: As. Especially if they keep it onto the West Coast. [00:14:59] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:15:00] Speaker A: If they could just be like, all right, we showed up and we'll do. [00:15:03] Speaker B: The west coast shows. There's like four of them. [00:15:05] Speaker A: If I don't have to go that far away from like la, then sure. [00:15:10] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, no, it's. It'll be an interesting, interesting show because I'm going to try not to look at the Internet and see who's opening before then. Oh, yeah. [00:15:26] Speaker A: So I have the advantage then of finding out who you do and then. [00:15:33] Speaker B: I kind of want to be surprised. [00:15:35] Speaker A: Okay. Then I ain't gonna say, yeah, that's. [00:15:40] Speaker B: I'm not gonna take away your dream because I'm hoping. Because that's all the way out in September. So. Yeah, that'll be tough to keep that. [00:15:50] Speaker A: That is. That's a long, long time. [00:15:53] Speaker B: Especially since I. I subscribe to so many different, like, hard rock and metal blogs that. [00:16:00] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:16:01] Speaker B: They're gonna throw straight out there all the time. [00:16:03] Speaker A: Your RSS feed is gonna be bananas, so. [00:16:06] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. [00:16:07] Speaker A: All right. Speaking of things that you've. That we have seen or going to see or have not seen in that little ballpark realm, I told you that I had a story. Actually, I got two stories for you. [00:16:22] Speaker B: Ooh. Story Time with Cody. [00:16:24] Speaker A: Story time with Cody. But then, because we teased it last time, gonna get the Vegas tips. And we'll get back around to that too. But as you know, Ed, I went. I tried to battle off, and I successfully got Run the Jewels tickets with Rage against the Machine. Right. This was circa. [00:16:49] Speaker B: Oh, God. [00:16:49] Speaker A: A hundred years ago, back in 2019. [00:16:53] Speaker B: Before COVID Before COVID 100 years ago. That's not. That checks out. A timing. That timing works. [00:16:59] Speaker A: Then Covid happened. Then, you know, we were. They postponed, and then they postponed again. Then Zach Dilla broke up, broke his leg, and then they canceled the whole goddamn thing. [00:17:12] Speaker B: Right. [00:17:14] Speaker A: So out of spite, I'm like, okay, well, you know, I'm gonna go. I get the emails as much as you do for your Lincoln Park Underground. [00:17:25] Speaker B: Sure. [00:17:25] Speaker A: And I'm like, oh, let's see what they got going on. And they have a mystery T shirt and mystery accessory thing that's about $20 and $10, respectively. And I said, you know what? Yeah, I'm Give this a shot. See what we can. If we can snag some deals, as it were. So I go ahead and order it, or of course I ordered a day before the. They put out their email. That gives it another 10 or 15 off as sure. Because animal and the stuff comes in about a week, week and a half later after it got lost for about four extra days in the distributive center. Because. Open it. Open that thing up. The first thing I get is the accessory, and it's a tote bag with two pins, like the. The. The h. The fiston gun. So that's cool. Now it's like, oh, that made me happy enough for the pins, because I do lapel pins out of that. [00:18:30] Speaker B: Oh, like the. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:18:33] Speaker A: And then it comes to the T shirt. It's like you get the. The gun and fist label on the front and then on the back, it turns out to be the public service announcement tour. That would be the tour I would have gone to see if I had been able to go, oh, that's awesome. So I still got my Tor shirt without having to pay torture prices that. And thankfully, it didn't have dates on them. But that's the shirt in true form and fashion of how I live my life, I ended up getting. Because it's not. It's not a shirt that you can find on their page. [00:19:16] Speaker B: Right. [00:19:16] Speaker A: So anything that's probably either discontinued or they just had a ton of them. [00:19:21] Speaker B: Yeah, well, they. They made a run of them for the tour. And the tour didn't happen, essentially. [00:19:27] Speaker A: Well, the tour kind of happened because they. They kept it mostly to select places. [00:19:35] Speaker B: Oh, sure. [00:19:36] Speaker A: But they didn't. By the time that it happened, it's. It was already. Other stuff was booked. [00:19:42] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:19:43] Speaker A: So. So I missed out, but still got the tour shirt. [00:19:47] Speaker B: Cool. [00:19:49] Speaker A: Yeah, so it was. Oh, that's cool. Wait a minute. I know that tour name. Why do I know that tour name? And sure enough, that's the shirt that I end up. [00:19:58] Speaker B: That's cool. No, that's a. That's. That's. That's really awesome. [00:20:04] Speaker A: Yeah. So with that, we'll go to our Vegas tips. [00:20:11] Speaker B: Oh, Vegas tips. [00:20:14] Speaker A: Now this comes on the back heels of the Sick New World getting canceled. [00:20:20] Speaker B: Yeah, that was surprising to me. But, you know, 500 tickets will probably do that to your festival. [00:20:27] Speaker A: Not necessarily. Because immediately when we were young had to be very quick to say, we are not canceled. Everything is cool. [00:20:38] Speaker B: I wonder. [00:20:39] Speaker A: Freak out. [00:20:39] Speaker B: I wonder what happened with that festival, because the two biggest bands, they were gonna play Metallica, Linkin park, they were all ready for it. I don't. I. That's kind of baffling to me that that tour just all of a sudden fell on its face. [00:20:59] Speaker A: Yeah. Because it had such a good roundabout. And it is a carbon copy of the When We Were Young festival. So it's. [00:21:05] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:21:06] Speaker A: There should be no reason that overhang wouldn't happen. [00:21:09] Speaker B: Right, Right. Maybe they. Maybe people, they booked them too close together. Maybe that's the only thing I can think of. [00:21:21] Speaker A: I'll tell you this right now, just based off of what I've been reading. Bands, most bands anyways, are always usually ready to go. Of like, oh, we get to perform. Hell, yeah. And then it's, you know, producers and everything like that. [00:21:39] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:21:40] Speaker A: That are like, money, money, money, money, money, money. [00:21:42] Speaker B: Right, right. [00:21:42] Speaker A: So I'm. I'm not sure if contract disputes or. Or, or, or, or it's like, you never know. [00:21:48] Speaker B: There's lots of variables, I'm sure. [00:21:50] Speaker A: Oh, God. I was like, I. I'm never gonna pretend to know what that industry is like, especially. [00:21:56] Speaker B: God, no. [00:21:56] Speaker A: On a scale that big. I mean, I know that you have your allotted time and you have to hit because there are 10 bands behind you or five in front of you or whatever. [00:22:07] Speaker B: Yeah, exactly. Yeah. I just. That one. I don't know that. That was just weird that they went on sale and then what was it, like a week or two later? They're just like, oh, by the way, we're canceling it. Yeah. [00:22:22] Speaker A: And so with. With that, you kind of. I was going to give the tip, but I guess this still applies. [00:22:29] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:22:29] Speaker A: My tips for the world on, I guess, Sick New world, future case, or when we were young, Present case. Present or future. [00:22:42] Speaker B: Right. [00:22:43] Speaker A: If you were to buy any tickets, do the vip. It is worth the money because you are not only in the front section of every stage that you're going to be. There is a section that is specifically for merch. There's seating, there's. There. There are more things to do instead of being surrounded by 80,000 of your closest friends. And it might seem excessive, but then again, everything in Vegas is expensive. [00:23:18] Speaker B: Oh, God. Yes. [00:23:19] Speaker A: So at this point, either you do the vip, because you do get into the front row boxing of your like, let's say four to five stages. [00:23:32] Speaker B: Right. [00:23:33] Speaker A: You just can zip on through because they have like fast pass ways. So you're not having to like weave in and out of the masses of 80,000 friends of your closest friends. [00:23:45] Speaker B: Right now. [00:23:46] Speaker A: That's if you're buying. [00:23:47] Speaker B: Right. [00:23:48] Speaker A: If you're not buying and you are there a weekend of. Let's say that you wanted to around and find out and you want to do other. But you also want to see the main headlighting act. [00:24:02] Speaker B: Right. [00:24:02] Speaker A: If you're. Oh, you have the facility that's across the street from the Sahara. Book at the Sahara or Circus Circus. And along that fence line there's the corner base, basically of doing that stuff. Excuse me. And on that corner, you can see the band better from the fence line on the main stage. Better than you can from being in the actual crowd. [00:24:38] Speaker B: That's crazy. [00:24:40] Speaker A: Yes. Because we've done this. It was like, okay, we were in surrounded by two pits for a day to remember. [00:24:47] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:24:48] Speaker A: And then we boogied out to take a break when. Oh, it's gonna bug me now. Another band basically was on right after Avril Lavigne. [00:25:01] Speaker B: Oh, sure. [00:25:01] Speaker A: And we were just like, yeah, that's. [00:25:08] Speaker B: All good. [00:25:09] Speaker A: Well, never mind. Not relevant. But because of the projector screens and everything like that, we were actually closer to the band and heard them clearer and everything from the fence line than we did the actual, you know, hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people. [00:25:27] Speaker B: Right. [00:25:28] Speaker A: So. So you can. And because Facebook posts are like Instagram. All these other ones will put out the schedule of what time slots the main stages are going. You can comfortably go get lunch or something like that. Walk the line, you know, a little back and forth, walking at your. At the gentle pace. [00:25:54] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:25:54] Speaker A: For half an hour or 45 minutes to your favorite band and then off and do other. [00:26:01] Speaker B: Right. [00:26:03] Speaker A: But that's only if you're looking at like. Like the main bands. [00:26:06] Speaker B: Right. That's. That's funny. [00:26:10] Speaker A: Yes. [00:26:10] Speaker B: Save yourself $500. [00:26:13] Speaker A: Or more. [00:26:13] Speaker B: Or more. Yeah. [00:26:15] Speaker C: Or more. [00:26:15] Speaker B: True. [00:26:16] Speaker A: It's like you could go see a hockey game, you can go see a show. You could go see any other band that's not, like, stuck within a festival rain. [00:26:25] Speaker B: Yeah. It's good stuff. Good stuff. [00:26:27] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:26:29] Speaker B: Yeah. I thought that those festivals just sound insane to me. They're just huge. I. I couldn't. I could see doing that many bands in two days, but to cram that all into one day is just insanity. But I understand. That's the way Vegas does things. [00:26:47] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:26:48] Speaker B: Yeah. I just. That's a lot of me. That's a lot of music all at once. That's like 19 hours. [00:26:53] Speaker A: That's not even the statement of this, because the. See, okay, starting from the beginning here. A co worker's wife is going to a company holiday party, has a beer too, decides to boogie out, and on the way back, hits a box about two houses down from her house. [00:27:21] Speaker B: Okay. [00:27:22] Speaker A: And here's the. Here's the crunch or whatever. Thinks it's like a bottle, right? [00:27:28] Speaker B: Mm. [00:27:31] Speaker A: So she goes back just to check if it was glass because of, you know, puncture the tire or something like that. [00:27:38] Speaker B: Sure. [00:27:39] Speaker A: She goes to look, and there's a box. Box has magnets. And inside are two baggies, one of a dusty variety and the other pills. These end up being $4,000 worth of fentanyl and assumably something else. [00:28:04] Speaker B: Nice. [00:28:05] Speaker A: I saw the picture of it and I was like, oh, I don't know what that is. I don't know what that is either, because it's like you. You go based off of. What is it? Movies. [00:28:18] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. [00:28:19] Speaker A: We're like, oh, it's clearly this because of pill form. I don't know. [00:28:24] Speaker B: Yeah, sure, whatever. [00:28:26] Speaker A: But yeah. So she runs back into the house and immediately goes, I ran over drugs. That is a sentence that if. Especially from homeboy, who's just happily, like, watching TV and hanging out with the daughter and everything like that. [00:28:46] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:28:47] Speaker A: Watching something probably Disney related. [00:28:49] Speaker B: Sure. [00:28:50] Speaker A: And all of a sudden you hear busting through the Door. I ran over drugs. I was like, okay, were you drugged at your company party? I need you to slow down. I need you. [00:29:03] Speaker B: We need a few more details here. [00:29:04] Speaker A: Yeah, I need you to elaborate. So she said she ran over drugs. So they go out, obviously they get the picture of it. But the box itself is as best described by. It's a little black box that had contained the two things of like two little baggies. One having fentanyl and the other having drug X whatever it should be. [00:29:31] Speaker B: Sure. [00:29:31] Speaker A: But because the way that it was set up, it was not even mechanically. There was just magnetized to probably be under somebody's hitch of a car. [00:29:42] Speaker B: Oh, sure. [00:29:44] Speaker A: Now the street that happened on didn't have any potholes or anything like that that would disrupt anything like that. [00:29:52] Speaker B: Sure. [00:29:54] Speaker A: But the. They decided to call the cops. And the first cop on the scene was so excited to. To see this that he locked himself out of his car. So this was an endeavor that lasted about an hour of that night in particular. And I laugh about that just so much because being in many a bar. [00:30:25] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:30:26] Speaker A: You meet various characters, wouldn't you? [00:30:29] Speaker B: Not true. Yeah. [00:30:31] Speaker A: And in this case scenario, there's two thoughts of thought processes upon finding that box. One is call the cops. The other is not right. [00:30:44] Speaker B: Considering the one drug is such a problem. [00:30:48] Speaker A: Yes. [00:30:50] Speaker B: The correct procedure was taken. [00:30:52] Speaker A: Yes, absolutely. [00:30:54] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:30:54] Speaker A: If you find a mystery powder and a bunch of pills in a. [00:30:59] Speaker B: In a box with a bunch of magnets on it that probably was used to hold it on the undercarriage of said of a car truck, you know, whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's like $4,000 worth of fentanyl and drugs found. That's insane. [00:31:17] Speaker A: Yes. Which is so I could understand why that cop was so happy to lock himself out into right in. But that just shows you this like BPD finest that, you know, like just. [00:31:35] Speaker B: He must have been a rookie. [00:31:36] Speaker A: I don't know, man. That's. That's the. I don't know about. What I do know is that out of the circumstances of that happening, the only thought process is like, okay, she might have had a bad night by having to run this over. And thankfully your tires are fine and everything. Yeah. But somebody is having a real bad day. [00:32:00] Speaker B: Some drug mule is now. Now being beat upon somebody. Four grand worth of drugs. [00:32:07] Speaker A: Yes. Which is a substance of like. Oh my God. Is like, oh, now was that the only one box or how did you play? Or. [00:32:21] Speaker B: There's lots of things playing at that. Yeah, that. [00:32:25] Speaker A: So the. In that particular case scenario, that story writes Itself for any movie or TV show. [00:32:32] Speaker B: Right. [00:32:33] Speaker A: That's because. Could you. Could you imagine if that was the case where all of a sudden you had a package like that, or if you were the person that was the muley or the delivery or. [00:32:48] Speaker B: Right. [00:32:48] Speaker A: Like you were inside your house and then all of a sudden all these cops showed up right outside your house and said package is like being expounded upon and it's like, holy. [00:33:05] Speaker B: Yeah. Or even just know. [00:33:08] Speaker A: Or even just being a regular Joe. And I can't say, like, what the. Why is there so many cops in front of my house? Oh. [00:33:16] Speaker B: Oh, crap. [00:33:17] Speaker A: Oh, that's a. That's a rude awakening, right? [00:33:23] Speaker B: Oh, man. No, that's. That's funny. I. You never know what you'll find out in the world. [00:33:30] Speaker A: No, but the, The. The sentence of I ran over drugs was a sentence that was not on my bingo card for this week. [00:33:41] Speaker B: No, no, that. That. That's a fun one to run into the house and just tell somebody. [00:33:47] Speaker A: Yeah. And on top of that, as I'm telling this story to. To a bar scenario, again, just having soda and just seeing friends. This case scenario is like you have the young buck of a bartender behind the bar that's basically saying it's like, aren't you afraid of telling that story a little too loudly? And then somebody like that, the drug person in question being in the bar, it was like, not really. Because 1. [00:34:26] Speaker B: You had nothing to do with it. [00:34:27] Speaker A: I. I have not. The possession of said. [00:34:32] Speaker B: And it's not like the drug. The drug dealer's contact information was on said box and you could return it. [00:34:38] Speaker A: No, there's no return to sender here. [00:34:41] Speaker B: Right. [00:34:42] Speaker A: It's not like we're doing the civil thing. [00:34:44] Speaker B: If found, please send to. [00:34:46] Speaker A: Yeah, Sarah, Reward. I'm actually, I. I have to ask that kind of question. Would they offer a reward for calling in something like that? Because it's not like you should. It's not like you call in a wallet and, you know, if Noman comes to claim it, then whatever the contents. [00:35:10] Speaker B: Are, I think the police force should actually give a reward for if stuff like that's found. [00:35:18] Speaker A: I, I agree. [00:35:19] Speaker B: You know, a couple hundred bucks shot your way for being a good Samaritan. [00:35:23] Speaker A: I would say for. For good Samaritan work, you should absolutely get something out of the mix. But then again, it's like, do you only get something out of the mix if a perpetrator would call? [00:35:35] Speaker B: So what me. No. It. Because considering like fentanyl is such a problem. [00:35:43] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:35:44] Speaker B: I think they should have gotten a reward of some variety. [00:35:46] Speaker A: I agree. [00:35:48] Speaker B: They would have probably the. The lame gift they probably would have gotten is like a Billings PD T shirt. [00:35:53] Speaker A: I was gonna say if they. If they landed a DARE shirt. [00:35:57] Speaker B: Oh, that'd be awesome. [00:35:58] Speaker A: That would be great. Which I did. I. I told. Told the co workers, like, if you. You have the chance to do something hilarious and get a DARE shirt as a stocking stuffer, do it. [00:36:11] Speaker B: Or the wife do it. [00:36:14] Speaker A: It's like you. But as we come to find out, there's. Every generation has their different dare shirt. [00:36:23] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:36:24] Speaker A: Some have the lion. Some have the 90s graffiti with the like italicized. [00:36:29] Speaker B: That was straight up our. Our shirt was that. [00:36:32] Speaker A: That's ours. Yep. But yeah, every generation has their own different version of a DARE shirt. [00:36:41] Speaker B: When I worked at Burger King, we had a. A co worker of ours that was, we'll say, a frequent. [00:36:51] Speaker A: A peruser. [00:36:52] Speaker B: A peruser. Mostly. Mostly. Mostly. Mostly weed. But she every so often would wear a DARE shirt. And the irony was not lost on me. [00:37:03] Speaker A: Oh, God. I mean, go to a festival, dude. [00:37:07] Speaker B: Yeah. They're all over the place, I'm sure. [00:37:09] Speaker A: Absolutely. [00:37:10] Speaker B: It's. Or there was even a weird time in that they. All right. I guess the DARE program was elementary and then middle school was law related. Edu. Or law related education or something like that. Lre. At least at middle school it was. Or at Paris it was stupid. [00:37:31] Speaker A: See, that's. If you're going. Well, that might be because it was set up by two different corporate. Like if. Let's say that local PD might have. [00:37:41] Speaker B: Got a little bit of freedom on stuff like that. [00:37:44] Speaker A: Well, no, because if. If you take upon it like, okay, this is two segregated different acts. [00:37:52] Speaker B: Yeah. Maybe. Okay. Different programs. [00:37:54] Speaker A: Yeah, two. It might have been two different programs. [00:37:57] Speaker B: Okay. [00:37:58] Speaker A: Point. And so staffing for that. Because if you're having to hit up all these different locations. Yeah. You might not have the staff for that kind of stuff. [00:38:08] Speaker B: That's true. That's true. [00:38:10] Speaker A: And budgeting. [00:38:12] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, yeah. [00:38:13] Speaker A: Budgeting for everything. It's hard to say. [00:38:16] Speaker B: Yeah. The DARE program. [00:38:17] Speaker A: Because I would. Blanketed dare. [00:38:19] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:38:20] Speaker A: Everybody knows it. [00:38:21] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. He. If. If he can't find the DARE shirt, you should absolutely buy one. Get, you know, get. Get the appropriate styled shirt for what generation she would have gone through DARE. [00:38:33] Speaker A: Now don't get the one that says drugs are really expensive. Hilarious though it may be that I. [00:38:41] Speaker B: Have never seen that, but that is awesome. [00:38:42] Speaker A: Yes. They. They exist. Those shirts are. Are basically that. They're. [00:38:49] Speaker B: That fits because she found four grand worth of trucks. [00:38:52] Speaker A: Yeah, exactly. That's. Yeah. But they have a young daughter, so that's. Oh, well, yeah, we're not gonna. [00:39:00] Speaker B: You want to do the legit? [00:39:01] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah. You want to set up a. A good foundation of positive foundation. Yeah, yeah. I mean, as many memes as there are of like, what is. They show the. The dare line and. And the caption goes. We really let this guy down. [00:39:21] Speaker B: Oh. [00:39:23] Speaker A: It's like, oh, man. My childhood, huh? [00:39:27] Speaker B: That's awesome. I've. [00:39:28] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:39:29] Speaker B: I've never seen the drugs are really expensive one. That. That makes me smile. [00:39:33] Speaker A: Yeah. So, I mean, you can get it and it's hilarious. And everybody at a festival will love your ass. But then. But as for the dare insert in. [00:39:43] Speaker B: General, then you go home and hide it from your children. [00:39:46] Speaker A: Yeah. That's a deep dive right there. [00:39:49] Speaker B: Right. [00:39:50] Speaker A: You put that right next to the. The leopard print pants and. [00:39:54] Speaker B: Oh. [00:39:56] Speaker A: Pink bedazzled sunglasses. [00:39:59] Speaker B: Right, Right. That's crazy. [00:40:04] Speaker A: Hell, yeah. [00:40:06] Speaker B: So I actually did. You posed this question a while back, and the. The whole Internet is in. The Linkin park world is going down this road, and I. I hate it personally. But I'll ask you the question anyway. [00:40:21] Speaker A: Did we beat. Did we beat the masses to this question? [00:40:24] Speaker B: No. God, no. We're just piling on as we do. [00:40:30] Speaker A: I mean, if you have the pancakes, let's pour some syrup on it. [00:40:34] Speaker B: Exactly. So the. There's a bunch of people online, especially in the Linkin park forums and things like that, that they don't believe Emily is the. Is good enough for Linkin Park. Okay. Who would you see as a proper replacement? But I'll tell you why I think Emily's good enough after you answer. Because I know you had posed this question a while back, and due to reasons we didn't podcast, I don't remember what they were. But what are your thoughts on it after hearing and. And. And hearing more of the new. New album? [00:41:19] Speaker A: So I have to say I'm gonna pull Matty Mullins from Memphis May Fire. I think he would have done a good job. [00:41:32] Speaker B: Okay. [00:41:33] Speaker A: But of course, you know, if you have month as May Fire, they're actually going to be coming to Montana for their tour. Nice. Coming soon. [00:41:43] Speaker B: Nice. [00:41:44] Speaker A: Yeah. Between them and like a different venue showing is the Amity Affliction. [00:41:50] Speaker B: Oh, sure. [00:41:51] Speaker A: Those are two. Two that are going to be cool for the next year coming up. [00:41:55] Speaker B: Nice. [00:41:56] Speaker A: Yeah, I'm trying to find them. [00:41:58] Speaker B: You're thinking Memphis, maybe lead singer of Memphis May Fire, huh? [00:42:02] Speaker A: Yeah. Because then you can have them opening up. [00:42:05] Speaker B: Sure, sure. [00:42:06] Speaker A: Like you do the one, two act. [00:42:07] Speaker B: So you're pulling a. A dope and static X concept. [00:42:13] Speaker A: Yes, yes, I am. But I don't think that. But I don't think that. That she is very. I don't think that she's bad at what she's doing. [00:42:22] Speaker B: Right. Have you heard some of their live videos out there? [00:42:27] Speaker A: I've heard some of the live stuff. I've heard about three songs of the live and then about two of studio. [00:42:34] Speaker B: Sure. [00:42:34] Speaker A: Is that what's out there right now? [00:42:36] Speaker B: The whole album's out. [00:42:37] Speaker A: Oh, okay. [00:42:38] Speaker B: Yeah. The. [00:42:40] Speaker A: I suck at this. [00:42:40] Speaker B: What I think you would actually really like is Casualty and Two Face. Those are really good songs, but I. [00:42:54] Speaker A: I'm gonna look it up after the fact. [00:42:55] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. No, I actually am on the opposite of it because as much as I loved Linkin park and Chester in the band and everything, I'm glad they went a completely different direction because it's. It's a new. Hopefully starts a new legacy for the band. Right. Rather than trying to live off the past of a lead singer passing away. And I just. I don't quite understand why there's all these fans that. That are saying these lame and stupid things of. Linkin Park's just a tribute band now that there's only live. There's only three members. So half the band is. Is the original band. There's actually three new members on the lives, which live crew. [00:43:45] Speaker A: So long as there's Transformers movies being made. There will be Linkin Park. [00:43:50] Speaker B: Yes. There's a new Lincoln. There's a new Transformers movie coming out. [00:43:53] Speaker A: Yeah, exactly. So long as. [00:43:55] Speaker B: So there's a new Linkin park album that just. [00:43:57] Speaker A: You can't stop it. It's. [00:43:59] Speaker B: No. And that's. I made that joke beginning of the year. Hey, there's a new Transformers movie coming out. That means there's a new Linkin park album coming soon. [00:44:07] Speaker A: Exactly. And yeah, honestly, Lincoln park is going to be. You know who they're going to be taking a page from? Yeah, the Temptations. They have gone through so many temptations that I think you still have one of the hogs that's still kicking around and just replaces with more like, more people. So at this point, you might have Mike Shinoda as the Lone Ranger by the time that it hits. Like. [00:44:35] Speaker B: Yeah, because right now you've got Shinoda, Johan and Phoenix, the. The bassist. Although technically Brad, the lead guitarist, is still in the group. He does all the studio work. Yeah. [00:44:50] Speaker A: He knows what he likes. It's Like, I can make my money here. [00:44:54] Speaker B: Well, and he actually doesn't perform live because he doesn't like loud noises. [00:45:00] Speaker A: That's fair. [00:45:01] Speaker B: So he's now doing all their marketing and all that stuff. So it's actually kind of a cool setup. [00:45:07] Speaker A: Yeah, I would do that in a heartbeat. [00:45:09] Speaker B: And there I read it or read stuff online that people like. Don't you feel sad? Sad for the touring guitarist? I'm like, hell no. He gets to go out there, play as a guitar, play for one of the largest bands in the world, and nobody knows who he is. [00:45:26] Speaker A: And you know what? At the end of the day, if you love what you do, then. And then you're. And you're able to go at that scale. [00:45:33] Speaker B: And he gets paid. I'm sure he gets paid quite well. [00:45:36] Speaker A: I'm sure he's fine. [00:45:38] Speaker B: I, it's just, it's just one of those things that. I don't know. I'm, I'm kind of, it's. I kind of like the direction they went because Mike Shinoda actually says he hates Lincoln park tribute bands. So he felt like if they got a lead singer that sounded just like Chester, he would have, they would have went down this road that he hates. [00:46:05] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:46:06] Speaker B: And I'm like, I get it. I. Because look at all these other bands ACDC has, you know, I mean, they, they sound almost identical to what they were in there. [00:46:15] Speaker A: I mean, they went. Going to Angus from Bon Scott. [00:46:18] Speaker B: Yeah. And I mean, look at Drowning Pool. They've had four different lead singers over the years. [00:46:25] Speaker A: They had a bigger dozen. Really? [00:46:27] Speaker B: Yeah, they. They've had a ton. And now they've got the lead singer from Soil back again. So I, I'm actually excited for the new Drowning Pool, but I mean, you've got lots of bands over the years that have done that. I mean, in the same thing. Look at Pantera. I mean, same lead singer, but different. Basically different all star band behind him. [00:46:51] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:46:51] Speaker B: Now. But. [00:46:52] Speaker A: Right. Well, I got one more thing. [00:46:57] Speaker B: Sure. [00:46:57] Speaker A: And this is like Tales from the Internet. [00:47:00] Speaker B: Oh, God. Not, Not Tales from the Internet. [00:47:03] Speaker A: Well, you've come to the. Because this is dated December 8, 2024. [00:47:10] Speaker B: Hey. [00:47:11] Speaker A: The, the media hubbub has been mostly of the United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson being shot by, by a gunman that has basically was gone missing. [00:47:30] Speaker B: Yeah. You saw the latest one about the backpack. [00:47:35] Speaker A: No, go ahead. [00:47:36] Speaker B: So there was a backpack found with Monopoly money that he allegedly was carrying around when he killed the CEO. And they found that in the, in, in the park nearby. And I'm like, Awesome. I wonder what he was gonna do with that. [00:47:58] Speaker A: So. And considering all the. It's like, okay, the amount of memes and everything that has come from this is just like, oh, is. Is it time or are we doing this? And it's just like, of course you have the NYPD and Trump Jr. Posted. I was like, okay, Internet, do your thing of like, try to find this guy. The best response that has ever been put out there is Terminator 2 of. No, I haven't seen him. [00:48:33] Speaker B: Nah, nah, dog. [00:48:35] Speaker A: And he's like, I hope this guy. [00:48:37] Speaker B: Runs free for a long time. I hope he never gets caught personally. Yeah. Not that I'm condoning killing people or anything by any sort of imagination, but we had. [00:48:48] Speaker A: What you thinking, friend? Do not condone violence. Yeah. Okay. Don't take no lives. How about that? [00:48:57] Speaker B: Yeah, but. I'm sorry, but all these CEOs of pharmaceutical companies are greedy as. And how many lives have they taken because we can't afford medications? [00:49:07] Speaker A: Well, how. [00:49:08] Speaker B: Karma's a. [00:49:09] Speaker A: How relevant. And quickly did that one. I think it was Blue Cross that they were going to take away. Is it infamily? No, no, no. Under dialysis, they were taking away like painkiller. [00:49:28] Speaker B: Yeah. Now they're like, oh, our bad. [00:49:31] Speaker A: And they immediately went, you know what? That. That's our bad fam. That's. That's on us. And then they immediately took down like CEO like pages off of said websites. [00:49:44] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:49:44] Speaker A: Just because they're. They have the fear. [00:49:46] Speaker B: They're all scared now. Yeah. And they should be. [00:49:49] Speaker A: And then you have Elon. [00:49:51] Speaker B: Oh God, that guy's a fuck stick. I used to like him. [00:49:55] Speaker C: It has been brought to my attention that some Americans actually cheering for the gunmen who have killed this man and that they are saying they want all to do this. All CEOs. What these people fail to understand is without CEOs, the world would not be able to function. And as a CEO, we're responsible for a delicate balance of acting, generating profits for shareholders, while also ensuring that shareholders are able to maintain their own personal wealth, even in spite of typical corporate laziness and greed and middle management and their staff. America will be destiny Without Us. Hashtag Doge. [00:50:33] Speaker B: Wow. He really put a disclaimer out there. [00:50:35] Speaker A: For CEOs and then to the form of another meme, Simpsons did it best. What do you say? I don't know. Something about wanting to be next. [00:50:49] Speaker B: Yes. [00:50:50] Speaker A: So. [00:50:50] Speaker B: Yes. [00:50:51] Speaker A: Way to put a target on yourself, buddy. That's awful. [00:50:54] Speaker B: Yeah. Basically saying that the world would collapse without CEOs so dumb. That's essentially what that long winded response from Elon said. [00:51:03] Speaker A: Yeah. And all. [00:51:05] Speaker B: I think our world would do a lot better if we didn't have these billionaire CEOs of BS companies. [00:51:14] Speaker A: Call me on the Bernie train. It's like, there should be no billionaires. If you. What's the other meme that's gone out there? It's like if you hit 999 million, after that you get a dog park and a plaque that says you won. Capitalism. [00:51:33] Speaker B: Nice. [00:51:34] Speaker A: Yeah. Capitalism at that point is like, okay, you could. How about this? You get to keep your 99, but. And you don't have to pay taxes anymore on that. [00:51:49] Speaker B: You can't make any more money, but. [00:51:51] Speaker A: You cannot make a single penny more than what you have. [00:51:55] Speaker B: And if you do, we're going to tax it at 300%. [00:51:59] Speaker A: Well, we will. Yeah. We will tax an appropriate amount, which is 300 at least. [00:52:05] Speaker B: Yeah, 3,000%. So you have to pay. Actually. It's a. It's a vicious circle. [00:52:13] Speaker A: Run the jewels lyric is like, you may. Was like, you make a dollar and government wins a dozen dimes. [00:52:21] Speaker B: Yep, that's about right. That's the way it feels. Because the big problem with that is they don't tax millionaires or billionaires far enough because they're like, we worked hard for our money. Everybody else should work harder. [00:52:34] Speaker A: Nah. [00:52:37] Speaker B: No millionaire works hard anymore. They rely on us, The. Well, we'll call them bottom feeders because that's the way they look at us. To work hard so that they earn more money. [00:52:53] Speaker A: It's. [00:52:56] Speaker B: But that's the way it is. [00:52:57] Speaker A: Something. Yeah. [00:53:00] Speaker B: But I think the problem of being a capitalistic country. Yeah. [00:53:07] Speaker A: I'm gonna go eat some biscuits and gravy. That's all I know. [00:53:10] Speaker B: Biscuits and gravy sound good. Do you deliver? [00:53:13] Speaker A: Man, that would be three and a half hours. And at that point, I would not. [00:53:17] Speaker B: He's like, they may not make it. [00:53:19] Speaker A: Yeah, they would not make it. I didn't even make them. So I'm a damn well enjoy these.
