28 Hour Show - 2005 - Part 24

0:00wake up from the nap. Now what do you mean he takes care of dinner? What does that mean? Like he's in charge of dinner. You know he pretty much you know he'll ask me like what I want but he'll make sure you know the meat's defrosted we have all the stuff. He's great with the barbecue so we probably barbecue like 90% of the time. So yeah you know I'll get up we'll make some dinner watch some shows take a shower watch some more shows and go to bed. I'm an old lady. Oh occasionally I'll go for a walk. An early evening walk with my husband or one of my girlfriends and yeah that's my day. You're not describing your grandmother's day there. Yeah that was in fact your day right? I'm just

0:39crocheting. Yes. What time do you. What's the problem? When do you fit in the. I'm very domestic. When do you fit in the knitting? Leave me alone. Old. Not old. Old. Dumb. Sean tell us about your day. Oh jeez. When you're done with work. Please. What? When you're If you're done with work, tell us what your day's like. There's really not much to tell. Oh, really? Strap in San Diego. No, I swear to God, there's not much to tell. Okay, go ahead. I get home, I make something to eat, I do homework for the show the next day. Okay, hang on a minute.

1:19Because I know that there's got to be a process with you preparing food. First of all, do you prepare food and touch food with your bare hands? No. Okay. See? You see, you notice how he conveniently just said, oh, yeah, I prepared dinner, and then I... Okay, so what do you put on your hands, Sean, to make dinner? Well, most of the time, well, all of the time, I don't have time to make dinner. So it's usually a, like a Weight Watcher frozen thing or a Budget Gourmet frozen thing.

2:01Okay. Put that in the microwave, heat it up, done. Anything on your hands when you do that? No. I mean, what do you mean? Latex gloves? No. No? No. Okay. It's a box. Come on, he's not crazy. It's a box, okay? It's a box. What if you're preparing food where you're not putting it in the microwave? What if you're preparing, for instance, chicken? Um, if, okay, if I were to make chicken, um, I would, I would prepare fresh chicken.

2:43It would not be frozen. I would purchase it from the store. I would bring it home, and I would make it that day. I would transfer it from the package. Why are you doing that? Why are you anti-frozen chicken? I don't like frozen chicken. How come? Most of all, I don't like the time it takes to deal with it, to defrost it. Okay. All right. Makes sense. I accept that. So, I'll get a pair of tongs, take the chicken out of the wrap, put it into a container, Put, you know, some kind of marinate over it.

3:18Uh-huh. Put it in the fridge. Let it sit. 20 minutes, an hour, something like that. Uh-huh. And then usually take that and put it in something that I can put in the oven and bake. And you do that with your bare hands? No, I do not do that with my bare hands. I use tongs. Okay. So you know, you are... Sounds delicious. You're always touching the chicken with the tongs. Yes. Do you ever have latex gloves on while you're handling these food products? What is it?

3:55I don't know. I'm just curious if you ever put on white latex gloves while you're handling some of these food stuff. I mean, I don't even know where you would get white gloves. White latex gloves. They don't even sell that. What kind do they sell? Well, they're like off-white, and they're semi-transparent. And those are the types that you put on your hands? Those are the kind that I like. They use them in hospitals. I figure if you use them in a hospital, then they're good enough to use them in a home environment. Uh-huh. And you use them in a home environment.

4:29Yes, I do. What are the things that you will use, not just cooking, but what are the things that you will use your clothes? I thought we were talking about people's day. Yeah, we are. We are. We are, but is anybody else interested in what Sean uses latex gloves for? I would assume everything. Eddie? I'm guessing cleaning, maybe when he hands, like, maybe, like, pet stuff. I don't know.

5:04Sean? I use them for cleaning. Mm-hmm. I use them for taking out the garbage. Latex gloves? To take out your garbage. Yes. Like, you don't like defrosting chicken, but you'll go put gloves on to take out the garbage? Yes. That's odd. Hmm. Okay. But what else? What else? Shonda, we're not here to make you feel weird or odd. We aren't? Can I ask a question?

5:36Yes. How many latex gloves do you think you go through in, like, a month or a week or whatever you can best estimate? I go through a box of 200 about every month and a half. Oh, wow. Seven days a week, taking out the garbage. There's a pair then. Starting a lawnmower, I'm sure you would probably put. A couple pairs a day. I have a question. Go ahead, Ashley. Do you use, this might be stupid, but do you use latex gloves when you use the restroom? Sean.

6:08Not, not, not, no, not anymore. What change is that? You used to use latex gloves to go to the restaurant? I used to be worse, yes. That's true. I used to be worse, but I'm not like that now. Congratulations on making that step in the right direction. Does it bother you that Ashley's congratulating you on making that step? Yes, yes, actually. So you make dinner, and then what do you do? You do some homework for the show? Do some homework for the show. Say how to my wife, and usually by that time I have to go to bed. Do you usually kiss your wife goodnight?

6:41Yeah. Through plastic? Oh, really, and he just goes to bed. There's no process to go to bed? I change my clothes, I put on my pajamas, and I get on. You don't take a shower? What does it matter? He asked you your teen. Yes, I take a shower. How many showers a day, approximately? 2.5. And there's a half shower. There's a half shower. When does the half shower happen?

7:16Usually right after lunch. What's that? That's where you, you know, you just kind of freshen up in the restroom at work. Oh. You don't have to laugh at him, Eddie. That's not nice. Let me explain. I got a visual of somebody accidentally like opening the door and Sean forgetting the locket. And him in the bathroom. Eddie, we're all friends here.

7:50Come on. And his naked bottom is in the sink. I doubt Sean puts his naked bottom in the sink. That is awesome. Sean, you have a house. Sean, don't you take those headphones off. I'm sorry, Sean. Don't you go away, Sean. Oh, look at him. Don't you go away, Sean. He's going to go shower. I mean, I didn't mean it. Time for the old half shower. Poor guy. What the hell? That guy's a freak.

8:22Don't say that. Now, imagine you open the door. He's got a rubber ducky in the sink. Oh, give me a break. Making bubbles. Making bubbles. So dumb. He's got on a shower cap. Oh, man. That's a mean. Oh, that's brutal. Mikey Show. Hey, this is you and Marianne. Hi, Marianne. I got disconnected when I was calling earlier to talk about how y'all are picking on Sean way too much for having his germaphobe problem. Now, see, Marianne.

8:57And it's way off topic at this point. Marianne. I feel that that's really unfair of you. Why is that? Well, because I feel that what I'm doing is asking questions that I think a lot of people are wondering. And so, you know, I am not picking on Sean. I am simply trying to understand Sean. I don't know about that. It sounds like you're picking on him. I'm telling you, I am fascinated with his routine. Oh, you know, so am I, because I have the same routine, and my husband calls me a freak for doing the exact same thing. What do you do that Sean does?

9:35Well, I wash the tops of the soda cans. I wash those. Okay. And you have to wash out the sink. Sky does that. And you also have to wash with soap your dishes before you put them in the dishwasher. Yes. Because the dishwasher sterilizes the dishes. Yes. Sky, you do that too. Yeah, that's why they invent those little sponge things that the handle fills up with soap, you know? I think my wife probably, you do that, right, honey? rely on the handle filled with soap. Right. You need to rely on the hot water to sterilize it for you. Well, no, that's what I mean. You do that prior to putting it in the dishwasher is what I'm saying. Well, because my husband always tells me you just washed it. Isn't

10:13it washed enough? I think the whole thing's weird. And you know what? It's not washed enough. You have to wash everything and you have to wash it again and you have to check it. And if I was in somebody's house, like he's at your house checking the glasses, that's kind of weird. And I don't know if I'd be comfortable doing that. I would rather not have anything to drink, you know what I mean, or put my mouth on my jar, you know, and call it mine, that way I knew that nobody had any germs on it, wow, sounds like your husband's right, no it doesn't at all, it does not, alright, well, you know what, you guys are awesome, and I just had to put my two cents in for Sean, because everybody seems to be

10:50ganging up on him, alright, thanks, ganging up on him, I mean, he's just saying what the deal is. I'm just asking questions. P1, did you? Yes, Mikey. I just want to see if you guys have any more openings. Come watch with you. Eddie, what's the deal? Yeah. We do? Sure. Got to answer a trivia question, right? All right. How old are you? I am 27. Somebody else come up with a trivia question. What's the name of my advice segment? Tough Love with Eddie. That is correct. Awesome. Hang on the line. You're going to get to watch

11:22Lord of the Rings. Copy. Hang on. Oh, hang on a minute. All right, hang on, bro. Real quick, can I say thank you to Beth? She came down. You guys know Beth from, you know, the Sunday night show. She came down, brought us a whole bunch of energy drinks to keep us going. How are you? Very cool. Beth, come on in, because I'm going to, listen, I'm really embarrassed about this. What? You're not going to embarrass the whole show, Mike, are you? No, no, no, no. This is just going to embarrass me. Okay, good. Uh-oh, what's up? I did not know that we had a Sunday night show with somebody named Beth.

11:55Aww. I've been here for a year or two. Is that the truth? Yeah. You know, the thing is, so you're a DJ at Rock 105? I'm with Scott Riggs, yeah. Really? Sometimes around the board, sometimes answer phones, giveaway prizes. Does he have you talk on the radio? Yeah. That's cool. Yeah. I just, I feel so embarrassed that I don't know something like that. And I get, at what time does the show come on? 8 p.m. 8 p.m. Till 10 p.m. And then it's the metal show. And it's on a Sunday night, generally about 8 o'clock. I'm usually getting ready to go to bed. But I still feel like I should know that. Yeah.

12:28And I don't really know what the process is to stay connected like that. You know, I don't get those little things that we read on the air. What are they called? The liners. You don't feel bad. I didn't know either. I mean, I know Beth. I met her a couple times, but I didn't even know she was on our station. Is that right? Yeah. Skye, if you're being honest, did you know? Yes, but I had no clue, like, what she looked like. But I had heard a Beth girl on, you know. On Sunday night. It's so strange. Just met her, though. We're on an island.

13:01It's as if we're on an island. The whole entire... I'm sorry. I know this might sound bad. I'm not listening to the radio on Sunday night. Yeah. Well, I mean... Sorry. I'm not doing anything. I'll be certain too. I mean, listen. I bet you the show's awesome. Yeah. I bet you the show's awesome. Yeah. And you guys... What do you guys play? We play all new music that's on major labels and indie labels. Really? Maybe Death Cab for Cutie. Yeah, we break all the bands first, and then other stations pick them up from us. Is that right? Yeah. Now, how old are you, Beth?

13:32I'm 21. I just turned 21. Is that right? And you're going to school for communications, right? Yeah, and I've been doing, yeah, I'm actually going to school for graphic design, taking radio, but I've been doing radio for five years, so it's kind of like a hobby. Is that right? Yeah, I love it. You've been doing radio five years. Yeah, such a great little voice. Where'd you start? I'm 92-1 in way up North County. Really? And what were you doing? I was a go-loco intern for the local music show. So I know all about the local scene right now. And then I went to the sister station. Here's the thing that really surprises me about Beth.

14:10What? She is so sweet. And, like, you know, you can tell she's very sweet and has sort of an innocence about her. It's the sweater. You know what I mean? My grandma sweater. You know what I mean? And you always sort of think of those shows as like, you know, the pierced, tattooed, that kind of deal going on. Oh, yeah. And it's really, I guess it's not. All right. I got to take some Tylenol because I started to get a headache. Oh, no. Beth, have you been listening to the show today? I have all day long between school and, yep. That's awesome.

14:45Been hearing about your daily routines. Yeah, pretty sweet, huh? Yeah. Also, real quick, I want to say a big thank you to P1, Chris, and Stephanie. They brought by a bunch of donuts. More donuts? Yes. This is out of control. Yeah, we have, like, Yum Yum Donuts. We have Krispy Kreme Donuts. Oh, my God. We got cookies and whatever. We got everything. But thank you, Chris and Stephanie. That's real sweet of you. I'm going to be at house by the time this is over. Who's the fella? That's my boyfriend. Hi, boyfriend. He works for chronic energy drinks. Come over to the microphone. Oh, chronic. He just had a BMX accident.

15:18That's why his face is gone. Oh, F. Look at your eyeball. Holy cow, dude. What happened to you? Yeah, I was doing this trick called a fast plant. It's like you put it off of a quarter pipe. You put your foot onto a wall upside down. Look at his hand. It was a slanted wall, so the higher up you go, the farther out you are. Right. And I went from real low on the wall, just a few test ones, and I went really high on the wall, and I didn't push in far enough, and I knocked myself out and ripped this tooth out. No way.

15:49That's crazy. And dislocated my shoulder. Oh, my gosh. He's got, like, scabs everywhere. His eyeballs all bright red. It's so cool talking. He's a handsome kid. How old are you? Yeah. I'm 20. It's so cool talking to you because it's like I've been transformed back to 1976. No, he totally is like a model, you know? Like, you see him in a magazine. He's all tall and lanky, and he's got, like, the 70s clothes on. Yeah. Well, he's got the 70s look. You know what I mean? No. Take a look at the guy. Doesn't he look like he just stepped out in 1976? Yeah. Like, he's like, dude. Or the darkness.

16:21He's like, dude, let's go see Cheap Trick and then go see Star Wars. Going for the That 70s show kind of Kelso kind of look here. Well, that's cool. I messed it up with my face. You're, like, confused, bro. Nice work. How did you guys meet? Myspace? Myspace? It's true. We're one of those stores. Just kidding. Yeah, tell us how it happened. Well, he messaged me on MySpace, and I said, well, he was looking for a church in San Diego, and I just happened to know of a good church down here by San Diego State.

16:57And I'm like, hmm, meet in a public parking lot at McDonald's. Really? So we met, and we talked. You guys go to the same church? What church do you guys go to? Well, now I go to Seacoast in Encinitas. Sweet. Yeah. That's a pretty cool church. It's a Christian church, yeah. Yeah? It's awesome. Go ahead, dude. Well, what actually happened was... Look, he's got the real story. Oh, my. Now we get the real story. Hello. I was surfing MySpace, and I found her, and she had all the shows on her MySpace, all the upcoming shows that I was interested in. And so I had her as a friend, and I kind of thought she was cute.

17:32And I was looking for another church, because the church I was going to currently I wasn't too into. And so I saw her. She had some churches that she went to. and so I figured I'd just ask her, and maybe it would be kind of an in in some way to kind of start a conversation, and it worked. Right. And how long ago was that? So he definitely did not. He wasn't a pervert. He wasn't doing any of that stuff. He had the big curly hair, and I was a little scared of that. I was like, oh, it's cute. He doesn't look, you know, he looks harmless. Yeah. So how long have you guys been together now? A year and a half.

18:05Wow. Look at that. A year and a half my space relationship. That's pretty cool. That's awesome. I didn't know it's been around for a year and a half. There you go. Seriously. All right. Well, Beth, thank you. Yeah, you guys are sweet. Beth, what did you bring by? I brought energy drinks. Chronic energy drinks. He works for the company. That is so nice. They taste like pineapple. They're so good. Ooh. That's cool. Yeah. Well, thanks, guys. We appreciate that. Have a good night. Have fun. Yeah, thank you. Yeah. Thanks. We got a ways to go. Oh, yeah, we do. It is 8.38, and at 9 o'clock, we're going to go into another studio, another room. Yeah.

18:38And we're going to watch Lost, and we're going to make some comments. It's about Lost. And we know it's a rerun, everybody. Yeah. No need to call. I've been jumping for that all show long. That's going to be good, man. And it's the first time that I've ever heard of that network television has simulcast on a radio station. Yeah, it's cool. A network TV show is going to be simulcast on a radio station. So you can watch it along with us. Can Ashley not have a full-blown conversation out there? No clue. Ashley, we can hear you out there so loudly, Ashley.

19:16Okay. Sorry, fat ass. I didn't realize it was so loud. Sorry. Okay, two words for you. Sorry. All right? Anything else I can do for you? Great. Not gonna. Anyway, uh, P1 Snyder is on the line. Are you there, Snyder? What's going on, Mikey? What are you calling about? Seeing if, uh, you guys are going to have anybody come watch Willy Wonka with you guys. I don't know. I don't know.

19:49Now, are you the janitor from One Day at a Time? That's a weird question. Absolutely. Actually, Eddie, that was Snyder. Yeah, close enough. Yeah. Snyder, we'll decide on it later. All right. Thank you. How old these people are. Why would he put up this call? Don't want to take it. Somebody else. This is P1 Detail. Mikey. What's going on, bro? Paid all my guys to take day off and listen.

What time should I show up and what are you going to put me on hold or what? How old are you? 27. We're going to ask you a tribute question about the show. I'll tell you the day it happened on. He's awesome. Wow. This guy listens all the time. Yeah, he does. He does? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Detail. I would, I would like you to tell me, man, my brain's not working. Screw it.

21:32You're going to, you're going to come watch. Go ahead, Ashley. What was the name of our dead fish? Uh, the dead fish was flat, not flounder. Oh my God. Hold on. Oh, detail. Not detail. You can't, you can't ask. Detail. Yeah. Detail. You don't remember the name of our fish that died a few weeks ago? Oh my God. Love chocolate. Rob. Rob. Rob. Did you feed that fish chocolate? What? She did not love chocolate. Detail, do you remember?

22:05Swallowed it. Do you remember? I'll even give you the rhythm. Ba-ba-ba! That's like how we would say the name. Yeah, the rhythm. Ba-ba-ba! Ba-ba-ba! Listen, I just took a Skye and Ashley break. I have a brain fart. I see. Remember that's how we'd say the name? Does that help you at all? Detail's in. Come on. All right, detail. Hang on, all right? All right. Nikita! Nikita! Nikita! Nikita passed away. Oh, I loved her. She was eaten by a girl, tried to make a comeback. Oh, no chocolate.

22:39So dumb. I believe it'd take five with the favorite candy bar. Rob. What? Not funny, dude. Rob, did you feed that fish chocolate? No, I don't know what she's talking about. People in Allie hanging out? Can I watch a movie, too? She's been here since the girls' panel. Wow, that's awesome. She's been here since the female panel. She's going to do that. All right. You know what we should do? We should probably do...

23:12Do we have any replays, by the way, of stuff that's happened earlier on the show? Yes. What do we have? Let me get out my paper. We have Elevated Dirtbag, the interview with Matthew Modine, we have Phil, oh no, we have The Apprentice, you know, Challenges, Chase, and then John. This stuff should be up for me, Ash. We have, okay, I didn't know that. You should give me some of the stuff. But I will now. But whatever we do, it can't be longer than 18 minutes, 17 minutes. Yeah, how long are some of these things after? Like, you know, like the final with John is 14 minutes.

23:49Everything else? That one's perfect. Yeah, you want to do the John one? Yeah. Okay, I just got it. I'll load it. It'll take two seconds. That's perfect. This was John and his segment that he produced for the show today. John was one of the members of The Apprentice. He's going to come into the boardroom tomorrow morning along with Chase. And one of them is going to be hired to work for the radio station. And this morning produced a segment. What, Eddie? It doesn't really make any sense to play that. I have a better suggestion. Go ahead. I think we should replay the Aaron Lewis interview. That was awesome. Oh, that was awesome. Do you have it? I just have, you know what I mean? I haven't, like, cut it down yet.

24:22You don't have it in the system. You don't have to cut it down. Well, no, I haven't even dealt with, like, you haven't, like, I pulled it, but I haven't, like... All right. What do we have that we can play? Besides the chase thing. If you give me one second, I can have the Aaron Lewis thing ready, like, give me, like, one minute. All right, cool. We will, my dear. Mikey Show. Hey, what's going on? What's up? I was wondering if there's a chance now you guys are doing the, you guys are letting T1s come down to see Willy Wonka with them. Yeah, we're thinking about doing Willy Wonka too.

25:03And what we'll do is we're going to take a break between doing Lord of the Rings and Willy Wonka. Okay. And so we'll probably talk about it a little bit there, okay? All right. See how it goes with people coming in for Lord of the Rings first, all right? All right. All right, perfect. Thank you. Who are those people that just walked by? Any idea, Eddie? No. Are people walking by? Yep. I don't know. This is a mess back here, by the way. Dude. This place is trash. The studio is a disaster. I told colonels to get.

25:36It's a disaster. Awesome. Colonels, I told, get all the food that, you know, everybody's been brought down. Right. Bring it in the conference room so the P1s that are coming can eat it. Nice. Oh, man. Sorry about that, guys. Sorry to give you the yawn, man. That's all right. I'll make a comeback. Don't start that. I know. We got 15 minutes until lost. Oh, I'm so excited. That's perfect. This is 14 minutes. Where is it, Ashley? So it is on your front page, and it's in hot pink. Got it.

26:10All right. This was from earlier in the show. Aaron Lewis on with us. Aaron Lewis is on the inside line. Is that right? Yep. Are you telling me the truth, or are you lying to me? I'm telling the truth. Is this Erin Lewis? Hey, what's up? She was telling the truth. Wow. She was not lying to me. Erin Lewis is on the line. Erin. How are you doing? I'm doing good, man. It's good to have you here. And by the way, Stain's going to be at SOMA November 15th with POD and Taproot. Tickets on sale for that show right now. Are they on sale now? There you go. They're on sale now. Erin, I'm a big fan.

26:42And I have to say that, and a lot of people have thought that this is sacrilege. You may even think that this is sacrilege, but I actually enjoy your version of black better than the Pearl Jam version of black. I know it makes Eddie crazy. I do. I do, too. I like it more. Well, I don't really know what to say about that. I think that one guy wrote it, and one guy tried to imitate it. I mean, you did a great job, man. You really sing that good. Well, thank you. What was it about the song that drew you to it?

27:17Um, well, back when, you know, Pearl Jam and Stone Temple Pilots and Nirvana came out, it was, what drew me to those bands was the fact that they were singing in a male register. Right. You know, all the bands from the 80s were all trying to sing like chicks. Right. And, you know, those bands came along and they were singing normal. And that was initially what drew them to me. Aaron, when you were growing up, were you in high school and stuff like that, were you doing choir stuff and stuff like that?

27:54I mean, were you singing from the time you were a kid? Mm-hmm. And just kind of came up with it? You know, my dad had band practice a few nights a week at the house. And my dad always played out solo acoustically a few times a week. And, you know, there's pictures of me, like three years old, with a maraca in one hand and the microphone in the other hand with my dad's band playing behind me. And, you know, all through high school I was in, you know, chorus and stuff like that because I was not cool. Aaron Lewis is on the line with us. Aaron Lewis from the band Stained.

28:36And, Aaron, I give up quite a bit of my personal life on the air. I talk about how I went through a recovery, and I am a recovering alcoholic. Talk about that on the air. And I kind of share a lot of my personal life with my listeners. And because of that, I think that my listeners and I have developed kind of a strong relationship. Do you find that with your music? Because so much of your music is so personal. As a matter of fact, I remember right before I went into treatment, there was a song that I played of yours that just spoke so much to me, man. And I remember every time I would hear it, and I was listening to it on my way to the desert to go into treatment, Epiphany.

29:21And just how much that song spoke to me. You give so much of yourself, your personal life, if those lyrics are about your personal life, unless you're writing about something that isn't. But if they are about your personal life, how do you find a comfort level to be able to do that? You know, I do it without realizing that I'm doing it. I tend to just, you know, vomit lyrics. And, you know, I try not to figure out what the lyrics are until after it's...

30:00finished and you know a lot of times i still don't figure out what they are and uh and you know what i was trying to say or or you know sometimes you know i might think that i'm that i'm singing that i'm talking about somebody else but when i go back and read it it totally pertains to me as well you know it's just a it's a it's a relatively odd process i remember it's been a while from staying the first time i heard it going i loved that song immediately upon the first time hearing it which is kind of hard to do sometimes with music you got to hear it a few times and you kind of get used to it and after you get used to it a little bit you like it a little bit more a

30:36little bit more i instantly liked uh it's been a while are there what were songs like that growing up for you that you remember maybe even exactly where you were the first time you heard blank you know i had to be like six or maybe seven when when do you remember way back when when they had the the the kiss alive 2 show on television yep i don't know whether it was on hbo like i don't remember what it was but i remember seeing that and and being you know

31:15quite taken aback by the level of rock and roll that that was, considering that what I had heard in my house growing up was Gordon Lightfoot and Kenny Rankin and Crosby, Stills, and Nash. Stuff like that. To hear and see the spectacle that was that show, I remember that was quite eye-opening for me. Aaron Lewis is staying on the line with us. Aaron, if you could change one thing about the music industry, what would it be? The music industry.

31:50What's wrong with it? It needs a royal douching. Everything is wrong with it. You know, fortunately, it gives people like myself the opportunity to do what we're doing. But it takes such advantage of the fact that, you know, we would all sell our souls to do what we do. Right. And they get away with some pretty amazing things. You know, the whole concept of a record deal is worse than any loan shark you could find in any Italian neighborhood in any big city in the country.

32:35I mean, the interest that we pay them back for the money that's supposedly getting given to us is just ridiculous. Just on a personality level, Aaron, how different do you think Aaron Lewis is from other front men that you've met? You know, I don't know. All I've ever tried to do is remain Aaron Lewis. Now, I have a reason for asking that. I have a reason for asking that, and it's, I knew some... I've never tried to be anything other than myself.

33:11I know a guy, I know the guys in a band that's not around anymore, but a band called Systematic. And Tim, the lead singer of the band, he said he was really impressed just by, you had a thing, man, where there was not going to be disrespecting women backstage, there wasn't going to be certain stuff that was going to go down and have it be okay with you, and he really respected that about you. That's cool. Yeah. I'm glad to hear that. You know, I think that at one point during being out on tour with those guys, I think I ended up saying something to somebody.

33:46We know who it was. Don't worry. You know, I'm not just saying that to protect, you know, the names and faces. I don't remember. I don't remember whether it was one of the band members or whether it was one of their crew. But, you know, I was just seeing things that I didn't like on a nightly basis. Like, you know, girls that looked more terrified than anything else being led down hallways by the hand and off into rooms with closed doors. Right.

34:17Yeah, I just... Hey, man, listen, I think that that is so beyond stand-up. Oh, yeah. I just think that's so awesome, dude. Girls get mad at me nightly for not signing their chest, and I just, you know, even after I explain it to them, a lot of times I still, you know, like, have a problem with it, and I just never really quite understood that. What are some of the bands that you really enjoy touring with? You know, I've really enjoyed touring with pretty much every band we've ever been lucky enough to go out with. Really? You've never had a problem with a band?

34:52No. Well, that's pretty rare. No, you know, really, really, we've been really lucky in that, where, you know, pretty much every band we've ever gone out with, we've fully gotten along with and hung out with backstage, and, you know, we've been very lucky in that respect. Hey, Aaron, lots of... You know, we're not all that difficult to get along with either, so... Lots of phone calls coming in. Can we take a couple of phone calls with you? Sure. P1 Chris, you there? Chris, are you on the line? Nope.

35:25I guess not. Hey, we gave you credit for this the last time we spoke with you, too, Aaron, is that Aaron used to know a guy that worked for, god dang it, my mind just went blank. What's the record company? You guys were Electra, right? We were. Now we're Atlantic. When you were Electra, you were very famous for coining for a friend of ours, gay, buh. Buh. Buh. I haven't seen Gabe in a while. P1 Jason, are you there?

35:58Yeah. Go ahead. Yeah, I just wanted to thank Aaron. And, you know, his CDs in the past were, you know, kind of a lot of anger. And, you know, I was going through a lot of stuff. And I just wanted to say that his most recent CD shows him, like, growing. And, you know, me and I've been married two years. And it's just, you know, really neat to see how he's molded and grown as a person. through his music and i just want to say his music's awesome and the most recent cd is just unbelievable thanks jason very much no problem thanks cool aaron what do you think's the biggest

36:33change in you personally between the first record and now um two amazing little girls and a and a and a wife that just couldn't be any better and i understand man having kids i don't have kids but i understand that when you do it really changes you as a person Absolutely. You know, it just changes how you look at life in general. You know, for me, it answered all those stereotypical questions of, you know, what am I doing here? What is the point of life?

37:09What is, you know, what am I doing here, really? And, you know, I had kids, and they very quickly showed me what I'm doing here. And my whole point of being here, and I, you know, I know that my one true responsibility is to, you know, assure that both of my daughters, you know, are well-rounded individuals that are ready and prepared to go off into this world on their own when the time comes.
