It really wasn't as bad at the MGK one as it was the one before. I can't remember who it was. I want to say nickelback, but it could easily have been Red Hot Chili Peppers.

SPEAKER_00 1:43

All right. I'll just start from so I won't miss anything out. Let's just start from the whole day because it was pretty good, pretty good event. And plus like the first concert of that level I've been to in probably over a decade. I've been to, you know, we've took course to a few things. We went and saw like Jesse Murph, but she was in Rome at the forum.

SPEAKER_02 2:02

Oh yeah, I remember that.

SPEAKER_00 2:03

But that's it wasn't this level of a concert, you know, and it's kind of uh so yeah, just me and Cherie. Uh we go. It's raining. It really wasn't raining the way up there. Good.

SPEAKER_02 2:18

Doss at lawn or pavilion?

SPEAKER_00 2:19

We were pavilion. Yeah, when I bought the tickets, how you know I've seen videos. Yeah, I got in from the queue and then I wanted to. I mean, okay. Go before going back to the buying the tickets. You know, I'll I had the code, you know. I sat in the queue. I got as close as I could without being in on the floor because, you know, that's a young man's game. I mean, I respect them. I would I can only guess I just don't want to stand up that long. Yeah. For real.

SPEAKER_02 2:45

I'm only gonna give one band.

SPEAKER_00 2:47

Oh, I got one more of them and I'm out. Yeah, I've gave I've gave a handful of bands the floor seat, but uh no, I want to watch the show now. But yeah, we were under the pavilion, so that's why I really wasn't worried about the rain. I was like, long as long as it's not raining from the car to there, to my seat. Oh, yeah. Let us just get there dry. And we did. Uh so yeah, set GPS took us all the way there. We found the parking lot. What's it called now?

SPEAKER_02 3:16

It starts with we're still referring to it as this old name.

SPEAKER_00 3:19

I mean, it is Lakewood, that's but Lakewood's the area.

SPEAKER_02 3:22

I mean, it was always Lakewood Amphitheater.

SPEAKER_00 3:24

Something with a C. I know they changed the name. There's another amphitheater because I just got we also got tickets to uh go see Haley Williams in September, and this said Ameris Amphitheaters, the brand new one. Nice. It's not the same one. It's not Lakewood.

SPEAKER_02 3:40

Where's it at?

SPEAKER_00 3:42

Or Alpharetta. Oh, yeah. Alpharetta Sandy Springs type area area. Where all the hot soccer moms are up there in Alphabet. That's where my college was.

SPEAKER_02 3:51

Um Yeah, Lakewood's a little sketchy area anyway.

SPEAKER_00 3:55

Yeah. How GPS took it, took us was pretty it felt like we come in the back door. You know what I'm saying? Like we just kind of just bam to the parking lot. Uh oh yeah, exactly. All right, so we get deal. We get there, finally get parked, not raining, maybe sprinkling a little, but nothing, nothing that you even notice. They got big long lines waiting, or uh not a big long line because I planned it out for us to get if the doors opened at 5 30. We got there at like 526. You know what I'm saying? So by the time we walked up there, we stood there oh, we probably stood there 80 seconds.

SPEAKER_01 4:31

Beautiful.

SPEAKER_00 4:32

And then, you know, we was moving. And I went walked straight in, went straight to the uh merch booth, just wanted a shirt, grabbed me a shirt, went to our seat. Okay, here's here's where story stuff starts. So it's fairly early, not a lot of people in there.

SPEAKER_02 4:48

So it's just Wiz Khalifa. Is there a like pre-opener to him?

SPEAKER_00 4:52

Uh V.

SPEAKER_02 4:53

Like a DJ or anything?

SPEAKER_00 4:54

No, the beauty school dropouts, another band. Oh, okay. They were good. They were good. Uh all right, so we get in there. Uh, you know, everybody just find their seat. You know, there's still an hour before the show starts at the doors opened at 5 30, show starts at 7. I just wanted to get there, just be there. You know what I'm saying? Get there early.

SPEAKER_02 5:13

I wanted every second of this.

SPEAKER_00 5:15

Yeah, so so we got there. So we got there, and it looks like at Lakewood they have renovated like from the stage to like the mixin' board, because right in the middle of the 200, like we were in 203, 204 area. It's like half of the rows were like brand new seats, and then like half of them was like the original seats when they built the first place.

SPEAKER_01 5:39

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 5:39

Uh so and ours was back in the buddy seats. All the numbers and letters and stuff on these old seats were gone. So I had no idea where I was. What am I looking at? What section is this? I don't know. What row is this? I have no clue. I know what I'm looking for. There's people, I see all kinds of people standing around who work here. So I'm like, what section am I in? And she's like, 203. I'm like, that's what I'm looking for. So 203, I'm finding my row. I find some letters that match my letters, and I was told.

SPEAKER_02 6:20

Is this an E?

SPEAKER_00 6:21

Is this an F? I was looking, I was told I'm in my section, so I accepted that.

SPEAKER_02 6:26

Right.

SPEAKER_00 6:26

Here's my letters that match my ticket. All right. We're seats 12 and 13. We find them. 12 and 13. Shrine cents and 13. Number 12 is my seat. This seat, the seat part, like the plastic is smashed, and the seat is in the ground on the ground. Like there is no seat. So I'm like, well, there uh so I just kind of hold it up. I'm like, here's my seat. Like I ain't really got one. And then uh there was uh uh a mother and her daughter directly behind us, and then you know, they were started talking about the situation. Yeah, and uh I kind of just sit in the next seat. I'm like, well, 12's out, 11's mine until somebody else tells me it ain't. So I kind of just accept that. Don't say anything to anybody, I just sit down. Right. And then, you know, so we're chilling. Okay, also uh I've done my research for this MGK tour. I kind of get the the flow of the show. I've I know that at some point I was I've read in the comments that during this one song he's gonna come out to the crowd. Near the mixing board, there's gonna be a small stage that's where he's gonna go. So where I'm sitting, I'm looking, I'm like, nine rows up is the mixing board, and then to my left, literally eight feet, ten, eight feet is this covered thing.

SPEAKER_02 7:54

I'm like, I bet that's it.

SPEAKER_00 7:55

I bet that's the stage right there. Huh. So at this point, I'm like, well, now I don't want him to know my seats, bro. I don't want to change seats. Yeah, I can't move on. You can't move me from this. Uh, if this is where he's gonna be, you know, I want to be close, no did he. But uh, so I'm like, all right, whatever. I'm seat 11. We're all gonna stand up anyway. I don't need the seat once the show starts. Okay. So um the security is walking through, and this other security guard, well, there's one security guard walking through, but then another one, uh, older lady, she kind of meets him and they start pointing at us, and he walks over here. He was like, Um, I seen you hold up your seat. So while she was talking about problems and stuff, because there are a few seats that's under this stage that people they sold tickets for that we're having to move people. And he said, uh, because he's gonna come perform on this stage. I was like, so I was right, you know, in my head. That's what I was saying. Okay, I almost I was right. I was like, well, that being said, uh I don't want to move. He said, he said, I know. I seen you holding up your seat. We're just gonna try to make it right. You know, I understand I we're gonna see what was available and all that stuff, because if you're right here, you know, I want you to be right here. Nice. So they're they're talking, and she uh it's about five, six minutes ago. We're just kind of just chilling with the security guard. He's cool. Yeah, just cool black dude.

SPEAKER_02 9:25

Sounds like it so far.

SPEAKER_00 9:26

Cool black dude. He's you know just trying to, you know, make everybody happy. And then this lady comes and she's just got a stack, like 15 tickets. She's like, all right, she's combing them through. She's like, uh uh these right here are like these seats, and they're kind of like to the right, but up like one up and to the right. So I'm like where that state is? Yeah, yeah, like a little bit further, but still right there. I mean, it's it's really no different.

SPEAKER_02 9:52

But you got a better vantage point from where you are right now.

SPEAKER_00 9:55

Well, yeah. My original seat was technically better to what they call stage B, where MGK is gonna go.

SPEAKER_01 10:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 10:02

Uh, but it's fine, you know, because it was.

SPEAKER_01 10:06

I mean, it's just right there.

SPEAKER_00 10:07

It's just one row over and a little bit to my right. My right, yes. So away from the stage. But she, I'm like, uh, she just hands me those tickets. She's like, here, you can just take those tickets, you know what I'm saying? And so you sit there. And I look at the tickets and it's section 204. Row whatever, and my my seats are 203. So I'm like, I'm moving like that, ain't even my that broken seat ain't my seat. I'm in the wrong spot. And I'm like way over, I'm the section over to the right. I'll be way far away from this stage. So I'm like, and then once Cherie looks and sees that these new tickets say 204, we're like, we know we're in the wrong spot. And I was like, we just not no, we just looked at each other and kind of without saying anything, was just like, no, we locked in and we was like, all right, cool, we'll just sit over here, blah, blah, blah, blah, and we let them go.

SPEAKER_03 11:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 11:03

Uh and they went on and we was like, boy, won't God do it. Won't He do it? We ain't even supposed to be here, but we're here now.

SPEAKER_02 11:09

But they told you like previously that you was in the right spot where you thought?

SPEAKER_00 11:14

Yes. Well, let me go ahead and say that from the time we walked in Lakewood, not one single person ever asked to see a ticket stub, my phone that was my ticket. What section are you in? Nobody ever asked ever.

SPEAKER_02 11:32

So they was just talking to each other while everybody walked by?

SPEAKER_00 11:35

Yeah. Nice. Yes. That's exactly what they're doing.

SPEAKER_02 11:39

Man, if you did drugs, now would be the time to sneak them in. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_00 11:43

Like, it was crazy. Okay. So we get the new tickets. Now we're official. Okay, boom, I'm right here. I'm right next to this side stage. He's gonna come at some point, do a couple songs on acoustic guitar. Boom, I know that's gonna happen. We're locked in.

SPEAKER_02 11:57

I've never been to a concert where I wasn't patted down in some sort.

SPEAKER_00 12:00

Exactly. We weren't. Well, we walked through a metal detector, but that was it. No patted down, no nothing, nobody cares. Wow.

SPEAKER_02 12:07

I don't like that. No, pat me down. No, you make sure everybody else is patted down as well. Because that's why I'm nervous about going to places like now because all the crazies out there. Like Buddy Today just got shot on the Marta Train. Like they opened up the doors, people started filing in Marta Train, boom, shots. Everybody hit the deck.

SPEAKER_00 12:29

Like ridiculous.

SPEAKER_02 12:31

So I'm I'm nervous. I ain't I didn't got old.

SPEAKER_00 12:36

I don't want to go anywhere. Yeah, and I've been that same way, and that's kind of why we ain't been to a concert, you know, and also the prices are ridiculous.

SPEAKER_02 12:45

But but anyway, yeah, uh, y'all, so y'all move to the new section.

SPEAKER_00 12:49

So when we're in the new section, we're official, these are our seats. Can nobody say anything?

SPEAKER_02 12:53

We got tickets.

SPEAKER_00 12:54

Yeah, yeah. So um I forgot to start at the very beginning, uh, Tay Tay and her friend Sky. The we knew months ago they had bought their lawn tickets. They had they had tickets, they were coming to the show, and you know, Cherie, she's such a caretaker. Like, she couldn't really get, she she couldn't be mentally even at Lakewood until she knew Taylor was there. Taylor was there in her seat. Like, I just gotta know she's in Lakewood. I'm like, oh my God, I have to mom her. She's like, I do, I do. So whatever she did.

SPEAKER_02 13:28

I mean, she looks like uh a clone of Cherie almost.

SPEAKER_00 13:32

Yeah. But uh we're sitting there, and then you remember I told you a mom and her daughter were behind us originally.

SPEAKER_01 13:40

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_00 13:40

So, and you know, we had sat there 20, 30 minutes long enough to, you know, get a uh camaraderie going.

SPEAKER_03 13:47

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_00 13:47

So we're sitting in our new seat away from them. The daughter comes over there, she's like, My mom wants to speak to you. And I come over there, and then her mom was like, Um, uh, when you was talking, like, didn't you say y'all were waiting for something? Who who else is coming? And I said, That's her uh cousin. Cousin, sorry, it's my wife's cousin and her friend. She was like, Um, and y'all said they're on the lawn and it started raining by this point, raining good. She was like, Um, give them your old seats. I was like, You were thinking. Yeah. Like, can you do that? You're fired. So they No, check this out.

SPEAKER_01 14:25

So they let you keep the tickets?

SPEAKER_00 14:27

No, check this out. So can you do that? No. No. I'm me though. Here's my brain. This is what we did. I said, All right, Tay Tay is gonna get in with her lawn seats. Boom, she's in Lakewood. All right. I sent her No one's gonna check her ticket. No, she was she, yeah, yeah, well. Even at night, if they did, it didn't matter. She got it, she's in Lakewood. All right, she's got in with her ticket. Now I send her a screenshot because my phone is the ticket. I got digital tickets. I sent her a screenshot of each ticket, both seats that she needs. Now she's got the screenshot. As long as she doesn't swipe, nobody's gonna touch her phone. She's just got to show them. Hey, I'm looking for section 203 because we're in 204 now. Right. These new seats, nobody's gonna be there, and nobody can prove that those are not the seats she bought.

SPEAKER_03 15:19

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 15:19

Did that boom. Because remember, our original seats were we never saw them, so they weren't, it wasn't the broke seat. Right. That broke seat didn't exist to me. So Tay and Skylar got in, sat in our original 203, so they didn't have to be in the ring.

unknown 15:36

Nice!

SPEAKER_00 15:36

We finested it and they got in, and that was it. That was it. Beautiful.

SPEAKER_02 15:40

That's amazing.

SPEAKER_00 15:41

And then the show started. Beauty School Dropouts. I never I had looked them up before. They got one song that I like. It's really good. Hold on, I'll look it up. So if uh so Clint, if you're listening, you look them up. Uh it's Beauty School Dropout. The song is Daddy Don't Cry. It's just got the pre-course that's just catchy as crap. But they're a band, like a band band, you know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_02 16:09

It's so funny. So funny that you say that because I was doing MK like a couple weeks ago. I was like, I don't just I don't know how many people listen. Yeah. I was like, I just randomly randomly will look on YouTube and see, you know, the the meek numbers that are on on those, but that that doesn't matter.

SPEAKER_03 16:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 16:32

Then uh I was like, I was like, I guess me and Josh is we make the podcast for you and Sheree. I was like, I don't even know if Clint still listens. He does. That's funny. She said she said, um how'd she phrase it? It was so funny. She said, Yeah, go go um mention my business, walnut and vine artistry on the podcast for your um Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 17:05

She's like, that's backwards. How about you, your LLC sponsor, the podcast?

SPEAKER_01 17:12

She said, it was funny though.

SPEAKER_02 17:15

Because you know, you go to it's like singles, your singles.

unknown 17:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 17:20

But it was a good roast. I wish I could remember exactly what she said. It would have been better. And yeah, she did paint something tight on the you see it at the um at Tory Tory Austin now, her beauty shop.

SPEAKER_00 17:36

Okay, she posted online? Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 17:38

It's fire. She did uh Statue of Liberty like sitting under a hairdryer, like at the beauty shop and for 4th of July. And it's fire because she like it's her own idea, design everything. At first she didn't think anyone was gonna do it. I was like, yeah, I wish I wanted a beauty shop so you could do that because that idea is just so good. Anyway, all right. Yeah. Beauty school dropouts. Yeah, beauty school dropouts, then whiz Khalifa. So did the did the smell change when Wiz came over?

SPEAKER_00 18:14

Bro, soon as Wiz Khalifa hit the stage, I promise we became legal on a 50-mile radius. Yeah, it was insane. I've never seen anything. Like just That's all you heard. Immediately, soon as the his DJ started playing.

SPEAKER_02 18:32

That's probably why they didn't pat anyone down.

SPEAKER_00 18:34

And I could sit back and watch the uh the pit floor, and there you it was just like fire breathing. Left, right, middle, like just constant, like not a vape in the crowd. Vapes, straight up blunts, old school, uh everything. Man, and I forgot, like so many times during that Wiz concert, and Wiz, I'll tell you, Wiz was fire live. I did I didn't really have any expectations, I would imagine. But he had a full band. Oh, he was. Oh, it was fire. DJ and band, and his his guitars was killing it. It looked like it was Nico's age.

SPEAKER_02 19:12

I know his uh, like his energy and his cardio is like top level.

SPEAKER_00 19:17

Yeah, so like even when they did like black and yellow and things like that, it was rocked out with guitars and that's way better. Way better. Yeah, it was fire. Uh and when he did um, of course he did the the Fast and Furious song, when he did that, like the entire song they were putting like uh R.I.Ps and dedications to all to like all these celebrities and people that we've lost over the years. And like the one that got like the like the crowd screamed the loudest for was probably uh Triple X uh uh XXX Tanesian. Oh, oh him or Juice World. It was him him, Juice World or Mac Miller. Yeah, but I'm gonna think him or Juice World was louder.

SPEAKER_02 20:04

I know Mac Miller's stuff more so than the other two. Yeah I think I was just a little bit too old like when that became popular.

SPEAKER_00 20:14

Like I wasn't I wasn't into like juice world, they're both fire. Juice World is fire.

SPEAKER_02 20:19

Oh, I know that like as now.

SPEAKER_00 20:22

But yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Then then I was like they're it makes sense that they were the loudest too because we were in Atlanta.

SPEAKER_02 20:30

Yeah. But man, I bet that was amazing.

SPEAKER_00 20:38

Of course it started with Paul Walker, like he was the very first person.

SPEAKER_02 20:41

Oh yeah, it had to be if for the song, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 20:43

Ozzy, through Ozzy got a huge ovation.

SPEAKER_02 20:46

But that I swear his death is the only like like besides Paul Walker, the only celebrity death that like ever even affected me other than oh man that sucks. You know what I mean? Like Paul Walker was a little bit more than oh man that sucks because remember we watched varsity blues, like from we watched them from the very beginning. We went to the theater together and see that you remember?

SPEAKER_00 21:17

Yeah, all the fast appears, varsity blues.

SPEAKER_02 21:20

And uh but when Ozzy died, like I literally shed a tear because I and I It's like a multi-generational Yeah, that's something different you you resonate with, yeah, with you know uh me, my kid. I mean not not saying m my kid, but you know, people our age, their kids, our our parents, you know what I mean, like three, four generations of people that love this one man who universally Was loved like didn't was just known for being crazy, but not in a bad way. Bite a head off a bat, you know.

SPEAKER_03 22:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 22:14

Nobody cares about no a bat.

SPEAKER_01 22:17

He's white c until COVID. He's white crazy.

SPEAKER_02 22:21

Nobody cared about a bat until COVID. Uh snort some ants or whatever, but yeah. Just wild man.

SPEAKER_00 22:27

But he was just a um a figure.

SPEAKER_02 22:31

Yeah, his show the MTV show like really humanized him for our generation. Yeah. It's because uh people our age watched MTV heavily then, and Osbourne's and stuff like was a staple, you know, to me as much as like TRL. So I think that's why he resonates with us at like a dad, like a dad level.

SPEAKER_00 22:57

Yeah. I get it.

SPEAKER_02 22:59

But his music will forever rock.

SPEAKER_00 23:02

Yeah. And I felt I felt it in my throat when he died. The only other person that I've like shedded a tear for, shit, shedded. Is that how you say that? No, it's shed a tear. Uh Bray Wyatt.

SPEAKER_02 23:14

Oh yeah, yeah. I remember when he died, you were sad.

SPEAKER_00 23:17

But it wasn't that was like a scene. Yeah, it wasn't because he was so I loved him so much. It's because I loved him so much, and it was so soon. Like it was so I feel like he was stolen from us. It's like, oh man. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 23:35

Didn't get enough.

SPEAKER_00 23:36

That level of storytelling and creative, creative mind, it's like, oh, that's it was tragic, man.

SPEAKER_02 23:44

Yeah, especially when when you're so good at your thing, they and you have finally found like found your vein like he had, and was really just a just at the ceiling of becoming the rock status like and in popularity.

SPEAKER_03 24:06

Yeah, yeah. Right at peak. Yeah, I see.

SPEAKER_02 24:09

Yeah, I see why you say too soon. Who else? Who else could I mean I guess I died that affects you?

SPEAKER_00 24:22

Yeah. I'm trying to think of people who are like really like it affected me.

SPEAKER_02 24:27

Yes, I don't have that many because not many? No, not many that just affect me. Like I feel like I have a big heart, but there's a big door on that thing too.

SPEAKER_00 24:38

Yeah, I just yeah. I mean, you feel sad, but it's just yeah, you're sad about it.

SPEAKER_02 24:42

Yeah. Like I I feel like the last time that I cried that someone died was Ari. I think it was Ozzy and Ari.

SPEAKER_00 24:51

Ozzy and Ari. Ozzy was after Ari.

SPEAKER_02 24:53

Yeah. I think those are the last two deaths I cried at.

SPEAKER_00 24:58

Yeah. Yep. But that's a good thing. We don't want to, we didn't it's it's good that we can't think of any other deaths.

SPEAKER_02 25:05

Yeah, yeah. That's a blessing for sure. Totally. All right. So Wiz killed it. Wiz killed it. Everybody in the building has got a contact, or everybody outside's got a contact.

SPEAKER_00 25:17

That's how yeah, no. Yes. Contact highs for everybody. Uh Wiz crushed it, and then MGK did the MGK. Like, all right. There's a di the the evolution because of performance. How long ago when when me and you saw MGK when he opened up for Tech Nine? God, that was We're talking. I think we've already taught. We have we talked about it?

SPEAKER_02 25:42

Yeah, but I don't did we say when it was?

SPEAKER_00 25:46

Let's say it was at least 10 plus years ago. Oh yeah, it was like 2012 almost 10 years ago. Anyway.

SPEAKER_02 25:54

We saw Yellow Wolf 2011 or something for the first time. So it was after that. So probably 2012, 2013.

SPEAKER_00 26:04

Yeah. So let's say 10, between 10 and 15 years ago. All right. So and you know that was Heaven at the old masquerade in Atlanta. That's where he performed. And you know it to what I remember from the show, that was nothing but his band performing songs, MGK performing songs, just like any other show you go to at a bar, and they get up on stage and perform songs, right?

SPEAKER_02 26:28

Right, right. And he opened for Tech Nine, like and doing his songs, doing his thing.

SPEAKER_00 26:35

All right. Fast forward, MGK the Lakewood. No longer is this MGK doing a concert. He's putting on a show. Yeah. Like the lights go out. Lost Americana is blinking, and then you hear like the cars, you know, car engine revving, then it's got this narrator narrating whatever it's saying. And then uh and then all of a sudden Fred Durst's voice comes across the PA. He ain't there. God, I wish he was. I bet everybody. It's just it's just the pre-recorded start to fix your face, that song, because that's what he opened up with.

SPEAKER_02 27:12

Oh, nice.

SPEAKER_00 27:13

Yeah, so he but there's he had a curtain up, big red curtain over the entire stage, but the two screens, like there's two screens on each side, and then the entire backdrop is a huge screen. And I'm talking like 8K. I didn't know screens could get this crystal clear quality, too. So as the intro to Fix Your Face is playing, you can see MGK on the screens that he's behind the curtain, and the camera's facing the curtain, you know, and he's talking it to the camera. You know, he's Atlanta, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, doing his spiel. The thing, the curtain drops, the song hits, fire smoke goes everywhere, you know, and it's just the show starts. And it kind of continued like that, just straight show. I'm talking like video skits between songs, uh, crowd participation or interactions on some between songs, but he's got spaces where he's doing wardrobe changes and like vibe changes, and he's going from you know, cliche, the pop-sounding songs on Lost Americana to Wild Boy to El Diablo. I mean, everything. Switch it up. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 28:24

Man, that sounds funny.

SPEAKER_00 28:25

And then Darren, he's got a song called Bad Mether Mother Effer uh with Kid Rock. He's doing that song. That's when he starts walking through the crowd to the B stage, and he finishes that song on the B stage, and yeah, he was, you know, a car's car's length, car and a half, you know, in front of me at that point. Yeah. You know, dying. And it's dope.

SPEAKER_02 28:45

I mean, that video you sent me, I was like, bro, this is mad close.

SPEAKER_00 28:48

Yeah. Um, how much did he play guitar versus not uh 60, 40, probably 60% with the guitar. But you know, then again, then again, on his songs, he's you know, power chords and stuff. There's one song where he does just he's playing the lead part, but yeah, no. Yeah, I mean it counts technically.

SPEAKER_02 29:15

Like he did like several like rap songs.

SPEAKER_00 29:19

Yeah, he did a handful of rap songs. Well at one point, uh between one song ended and he was like, I heard if you're in Atlanta, uh, if you say Whiska's name three times, he'll appear. And he said Whisky Leafa, Whiskyfa, Whisky, Whiskhalifa, and then you know, Wiz popped out, and then you know, because him and Wiz just released that EP. So then they did like they did four songs from it. They did this the lead single, but then the next three songs were really like this three-song medley. They just mashed them all up together. Uh yeah.

SPEAKER_02 29:52

Yeah, that's cool. Get a little bit of everything.

SPEAKER_00 29:54

Yeah, a little bit of everything. Now, I mean, I'm such a big fan. I mean, I'm I can tell you 25 songs he didn't play that I wish he did play.

SPEAKER_02 30:03

But it was a fan's concert. Like if you're a fan fan, it was everything you wanted it to be.

SPEAKER_00 30:08

Yes, it was like I can't wait for the next one. And you know how Bro, how can you how can you Yeah, like how much I'm still in it, like mentally.

SPEAKER_02 30:16

Like, it doesn't matter if it's Olivia Rodrigo, like you know what I mean? Whoever, yeah, whoever you like, if they give you what you are expecting, yeah, bro. Like it's still resonated. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_00 30:29

Like, has a concert ever resonated with you? Like I'm still watching, like I still uh will we'll go to TikTok, type in MGK Atlanta and just watch people's cell phones. Like I didn't really, I got like five videos on my phone because I'm like, all these people are gonna film this for me. I'm gonna I'm gonna be here in the moment. That's why I only posted the one.

SPEAKER_02 30:49

That's what I like to do too. Like I try to be there and watch because I can't, I'm not gonna be able to. Yeah, I want to be there. I'm not gonna be able to make sure this video is gonna be quality because I'm gonna be watching anyway, so there's no reason to even have this video.

SPEAKER_00 31:09

Even the video I posted, Cherie filmed that. Because I told her I said, uh, when he gets over here on this side on this little small stage in front of us, you film because I'm gonna be watching the show. I don't I'm not gonna be looking at my phone. No Diddy. I just feel like I gotta say that again. It's not like that.

SPEAKER_02 31:28

Nah, it's fine. That's what fan means.

SPEAKER_00 31:31

SPEAKER_02 32:40

I've never been to a a concert that was chill.

SPEAKER_00 32:46

SPEAKER_02 32:58

Like we've seen all these people. Yeah. KMK, like Cottmouth Kings was pretty chill.

SPEAKER_00 33:05

Pretty chill, you know what I mean? But MGK is 70% female.

SPEAKER_02 33:09

Yeah, I mean, that that show is chill, but it's crump.

SPEAKER_00 33:13

It's crump, but the crowd is female.

SPEAKER_02 33:15

Like, you know, you just you don't have to put your elbow. Any concert uh I've ever been to, put my elbows.

SPEAKER_00 33:21

This is what you're saying, Ella's gonna be weird. It's just chill.

SPEAKER_02 33:24

I'm gonna just sit there and just have a good time and like it.

SPEAKER_00 33:27

Watch the show. Have to worry about being stomped or jumped on or not in general mission. We will not be in general mission. Oh man, I would love to. I mean, I would love to.

SPEAKER_02 33:38

I have seen T Graham Brown at Lake Winnipesoka before, but that don't count. I was a kid.

SPEAKER_00 33:43

I've been on the floor at Phillips Arena during Avril Levine concert, but I was also in my twenties. I don't want to do that again in my 40s.

SPEAKER_02 33:51

Anybody anybody trying to start a mosh pit there, they can't even knock you over. No.

SPEAKER_00 33:58

I could see over everybody. They were mad when I got in front of my CP style. You remember how we do in the crowd? Just like everybody's gonna push, and you just turn sideways and go forward. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 34:12

Follow me. I can slip through. Man, I would like to go see somebody, but I think I got I got one more good one in me. I got one more ICP in me. And I think that's all they got in them too.

SPEAKER_00 34:28

That's what that's what tax in.

SPEAKER_02 34:30

But you know what I mean? Like, I would like to do one more before it's over.

SPEAKER_00 34:34

We got Sri's never seen them either. Yeah. We'll do it one more for them. But then as far as you know, concerts like this one was, you got seats. You can sit down and watch it. Like my favorite is we're thinking about going to see Poppy, because she's gonna be at the tabernacle. But I was looking at the seats, and like for $100, $115 a piece, I can get row, I can get like the $200 right on the balcony, row A. Oh, yeah. Row A. So it's nothing but us and the little wall in front of us were chill. We just chill.

SPEAKER_02 35:06

When I saw Lit Biscuit there, that's where that's where all the boobies were coming from up in that balcony right there. And they were just spotlighting the crowd. Because I was I was on the floor, yeah, and I was thinking, oh dang, I didn't even know that was up there until they started spotlighting it really.

SPEAKER_00 35:29

That's probably your first time at the Tabernacle.

SPEAKER_02 35:31

It's the only time I've ever been there.

SPEAKER_00 40:26

Yeah, that would have been wild.

SPEAKER_02 40:27

I hadn't been there since I hadn't been there since um just motocross and uh monster truck when I was a kid.

SPEAKER_00 40:36

I was informed by my dad that I have been to the Omni when I was about three years old for Brandon Hancock's one of his birthdays, and it was a WWF event, and Hogan was there.

SPEAKER_02 40:52

What?

SPEAKER_00 40:52

Yeah. He said, yeah, my dad confirmed.

SPEAKER_02 40:55

I was like, bro, I saw Hogan and I don't remember.

SPEAKER_00 40:58

No, what this is I've and I'm on, I promise, I promise this on my life. It's just one of them things. In my head, in my entire life, I've always had this still picture of being in the bleachers of Hogan in the ring and all that stuff. Just thought it was dream type stuff. Yeah. But then my dad says that, and then that little steel frame connects back to my brain, and I'm like, could my little brain like have just captured took a screenshot from that moment, distorted away, and I just thought, you know, it's kind of routed myself off. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 41:34

Maybe that is what started your love of wrestling. I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 41:39

It's weird. That's cool. I mean, that's a good uh That's not serendipitous. That's not serendipity.

SPEAKER_02 41:45

No, no, that's um coincidence. That's just uh confirmation. Confirmation. Yeah. That's exactly what if you have that memory and then he said it, like that's confirm.

SPEAKER_00 41:58

He validated that memory. Yeah. All right. Yeah. It's true, it happened.

SPEAKER_02 42:04

The week before that, my boss, she was on vacation, so I had to do my job and her job.

I mean, there's some gory stuff. Uh but I've watched so much of the movie out of context that it the things that I've seen, it's kind of funny out of context. Of what the director is giving you to make you scary, to make it scary. But like I've read like I've had course tell me the whole movie, like I know the whole movie, what happens. I've watched a bunch of scenes wanting to see the acting and all that stuff. So I know the movie.

All these older life uh gooning over Jacob Alordy and like it's a Yeah, but you know there's a double standard in our culture that the women can do that and the men cannot. And then who's that comedian that's got the joke that everybody uses the word pedophile, but it's not really a pedophile because a pedophile is somebody who is attracted to somebody who's prepubescent, is what the word comes from. And somebody who's attracted to somebody who's over 13 but under 18 is called something else.

SPEAKER_02 51:52

But they got different terms.

SPEAKER_00 51:53

Yeah, it's some standard comedian. This and this is his bit. He's telling this.

SPEAKER_02 51:58

He didn't do that.

SPEAKER_00 52:00

No, this is the bit. This is the bit. He's breaking all this down. And he's saying the problem is, is I you can't say all that with you can't see. He's saying, no, you can't you can't break all that down to people without sounding like a pedophile. It's like you're saying all that, so you're you're breaking down. No, I'm not a pedophile, but you know all that because you are. What? The jokes are always funnier when you explain them.

SPEAKER_02 52:28

I mean, I guess if you make yourself out to be a pedophile uh adjacent.

SPEAKER_00 52:34

It might even be a Kill Tony guy, honestly.

SPEAKER_02 52:38

You know who's the funniest dude? Like nobody really knows. Uh Jeff Akuri.

SPEAKER_00 52:44

I don't know him by name.

SPEAKER_02 52:45

SPEAKER_00 53:14

Okay. Even me.

SPEAKER_02 53:16

Yeah, you was gonna know who it was. All right. This is uh some random radio DJ.

SPEAKER_00 53:22

Yeah, I don't know right any radio DJs. It's been a long time.

SPEAKER_02 53:26

It's a guy from TikTok. Oh Jubal, Brook and Jubal, you ever heard of that? Exactly.

SPEAKER_00 53:33

You still said it anyway.

SPEAKER_02 53:36

Well, it was weird. I had to say what it was. People they were gonna be like several people that was gonna wonder who it was. Yeah, you had to say it. Yeah. Now they can look them up and then you can get some old clicks. There we go. You got nine new clicks.

SPEAKER_00 53:59

I got I think I I posted that video we were talking about earlier of MGK on TikTok just to kind of archive it, and maybe other people would want to see it. Like I watched their videos, and you know, it's still the normal 500 people have viewed it and 11 likes.

SPEAKER_02 54:17

The uh the one thing I don't like about TikTok really is to like something is to save it.

SPEAKER_00 54:25

Yeah. There's there's some things I don't like. Like I'll repost things that I didn't even like because I don't want it in my algorithm. You know what I'm saying? I don't or not my algorithm, I don't want it saved in my heart section. You know, I'm dumb with that.

SPEAKER_02 54:36

Yeah, and I'm sure I did some of that in the beginning of TikTok without realizing that's really what was because I don't look at me on TikTok. I look at other things. I'm not looking at my profile. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_00 54:51

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 54:53

I just look doom scrolling. I need to get a hobby or something to stop scrolling so much.

SPEAKER_02 55:15

You got too old.

SPEAKER_00 55:16

That's where you grow is on the other side of your comfort zone. I say to myself.

SPEAKER_02 55:21

I think I'm more funny in the moment and r not I don't I don't think I know how to like craft a joke. I'd have to be one of those storyteller type of comedians, you know. Which I'd rather I enjoy that style of comedy. Like Ali Sadiq, and so you know Ali Sadiq. Not by name. I know faces more than I know names. He's a black guy. Um oh, he's so funny. He's like been to prison. He's got like a bunch of good prison stories, but he's a great storyteller and hilarious. But nah. I'd have to I I gotta go to Vert tomorrow. I ain't got time to be writing no comedy hours.

Like I'll it'll it'll start off good and then especially if I'm going to bed, oh I'm getting some bad things. Bad things are gonna come across when I'm trying to go to sleep. Like, oh, what if this happens? What if this is like uh I'm not e stop.

SPEAKER_00 57:21

Yeah. No, I I don't your sister has has mind problems like that. I I don't. I can just turn it off.

SPEAKER_02 57:31

Yeah. I can turn I can turn it off in other other kinds of ways.

SPEAKER_00 57:36

Did you know some people do not have an inner dialogue? I know.

SPEAKER_02 57:39

That blows my mind. That blows my mind. I never I never even knew that until like a couple of years ago. Yeah. I can't I can't think how they don't think.

unknown 57:54

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 57:55

You know what I mean? Exactly. Like how do you what are you doing?

SPEAKER_00 57:58

How do you know what you're gonna say before you're gonna say it?

SPEAKER_02 58:00

Do you not have like conversations in your head with people like you know, before or after conversations? Oh, I wish I would have said wish I would have said that. I thought everything.

SPEAKER_00 58:11

I have conversations outside. I I talk outside my brain.

SPEAKER_02 58:14

But sometimes I have thoughts and I literally have to shake them off and go like, ah, like, why are you thinking that?

SPEAKER_00 58:24

I uh I have I like to, and it's a good thing to me. I still think of myself as having an imagination. Like I still have creativity in my brain, and I want to do things that keep me childlike. Like, if once we get cameras, we ain't got them yet, you will y'all will see the studio in the room. There will be wrestling belts. I love wrestling, I like wrestling belts. I've always loved the belts. They stay on a shelf, but I pick them up. I carry them around. I pretend like I'm the champion. To some people, they could be that could be, you know, like if I posted something like that online of me with my belts, you know, there'd be people in the comments hating or be like, look, this 40-year-old man, grown ass man right here. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_02 59:07

But no.

SPEAKER_00 59:08

I'm doing I'm doing this. I'm a nerd. I'm a nerd. It makes me happy. I don't care what anybody else thinks, and being in my brain and pretending and things like that, that's an imagination that's keeping my creativity alive. I feel like it's keeps I feel like it keeps my soul youthful. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_02 59:30

I mean, for the last 30 years, we've spent half the time in the basement and another half the time basically in the studio, right?

SPEAKER_00 59:40

Yeah. For real. And there are wrestling belts in both places.

SPEAKER_02 59:45

They've never not been there. Nah, that's funny.

SPEAKER_00 59:49

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 59:50

That's just my thing.

SPEAKER_00 59:51

I mean, it don't make sense. Sometimes I try to make sense of it. It don't. It just makes me happy. I smile, and that's what life's about. If I'm gonna do anything that can just alleviate or minus some stress, I'm gonna do it because mental health is you know health is wealth, mental health is wealth. That's the same thing. Yeah, I don't. I don't like I don't want that. I'm not stressed.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:18

I don't I want to be able to eat stuff I want to eat without having to worry about red meat. But I'm not like a my whole life, I've never been a stressed type of person. Like I've always just like it's gonna work out or it ain't. Like, I don't know, you know.

SPEAKER_00 1:00:39

Either way, you're gonna experience it. Deal with it either way, yeah. Either way, it's not gonna, I mean, some things ain't gonna change no matter what. Like you're in control of what changes.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:52

Yeah, I'm just I'm really learning now. Uh I'm in control of my reaction to any change.

SPEAKER_00 1:00:59

Your reaction is what gives other people power.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:02

So if you control your reaction, I'm really, I'm really trying to come into uh letting that resonate with me uh throughout all things.

SPEAKER_00 1:01:11

Yeah, and I feel that comes with the spirit you gotta have a spirit of true humbleness. You gotta be totally humble.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:17

But it's called because this caused a problem for me in the past. Like, yeah, and I all that comes from ego and stuff.

SPEAKER_00 1:01:25

Me too, yeah. Like when I was early twenties.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:28

I mean, I still do it.

SPEAKER_00 1:01:29

Like I'm so selfish and so ridiculous is dumb.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:33

Adopt Christ-like principles, but I still get mad and you're going to.

SPEAKER_00 1:01:38

You're also reacting to you don't want to act. No, you're human. No. I'll still get get mad. You know, I I'll sling a cuss word every now and then. It doesn't matter. No, we're not perfect. And when you have when you know when it happens, if you feel that conviction, if you still if you feel bad because you did it, that means that means the Holy Spirit is still there. You know what I'm saying? That that that's that's proven.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:00

You gotta stay accountable, accountable to yourself.

SPEAKER_00 1:02:03

Yeah, yeah. Yeah. And the hardest pill for me to swallow with it all is when I say I got truly saved and truly come to Jesus was when it you really die to yourself. Like you really have to make God and all of that more important than you. And that's really super hard to do.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:25

Yeah. I guess that's why some people really get into that righteous area to where that's what I didn't like about any kind of religion where there's like this righteous self-righteousness where you're don't look down on me. You know what I mean? Like that from that perspective. And I think you just have to it's your relationship with with yourself and hell.

SPEAKER_00 1:03:03

Like Yeah, yeah, because it is not religion. Anything with religion and rules and restrictions, and you gotta do this, that, that. That's that's the bad stuff.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:12

That's that's I mean, I've always previously have always said like I don't need a quote unquote man in the sky watching over me to do that. And you're right, to make sure I do good or over bad. Yeah. And and now it's just like I'm not trying to think about it like that. It's more of um it seems like I there's things about me that could be a lot better, and I I've done nothing to make them better other than perpetuate, you know, whatever I want, my own my own feelings and how I feel. So that's really kind of the basis of my walk, like what can I do to try to be better and I'm not being better by myself and I've never been to therapy, which I'm not like opposed to therapy, you know what I mean? But it's like I I'm going this way first, like I'm gonna try this and stay in the vein of trying to get these these principles rather than this righteousness. You know what I mean? Like and maybe going to church and listening to the gospels and the parables and the stories, that's apparently how you receive.

SPEAKER_00 1:04:51

It's tuning it's it's all frequency. Yeah, it's tuning you into that frequency.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:56

But you have to, that's why it's within you. Exactly. You have to you have to want to do something different. You gotta tune into it.

SPEAKER_00 1:05:05

Yeah, yeah, you gotta tune into it.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:06

And some people I they tune into it different, and and you know, to each their own. I've I'm I'm just trying to tune into it this way and you know be more principled and not righteous. Like you whatever you do is fine. I'm not gonna look down on you.

SPEAKER_00 1:05:31

100%.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:32

I'm just gonna just let me do me.

SPEAKER_00 1:05:34

Yeah. Just be the best that you can be. What's your cause I don't I don't know what to expect. What I like this I'm just open is now real. What you see that is real. What I what I sense that you sense is real now is that the physical realm and all that stuff is just half of what's really going on. Like the spiritual realm exists, like it's actually there, it's actually a thing. Like there's what we see is not what all's going on.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:03

Open to the the there's some energy, some something that's all energy that connects us.

SPEAKER_00 1:06:09

Yeah, the universe, everything is energy and vibration and frequency. That's why you can heal with vibrations and frequencies. They didn't want us, you know, they they got rid of all of that, you know, so we wouldn't have we couldn't heal ourselves and do all that stuff. They want to charge us for medicine and the whole conspiracy. Yeah. It ain't conspiracy.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:31

And all of our medicine comes from China too. Like literally, like the the vast, vast majority of all of our pharmaceuticals come from China.

SPEAKER_03 1:06:40

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:41

That's where they're made, even though we took Pfizer or whatever it may be named. And we go to war with those people, like just cut off all the medicine. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_00 1:06:51

Like But there's actual We don't need Western medicine. I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:57

I mean, Western medicine's good. Like I'm not convinced that everything they do is for the benefit of uh you know profit? Yeah but no, that's what I'm convinced that it's all for profit. Yeah. That it's not it's not derivative of I want my patients to be healthy. Like a doctor should his wealth should be like determined by the health of his patients. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:07:32

Like his roster of health and how many people he don't see anymore. He actually cured people.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:38

Yeah. Like the pay the people that you see you're keeping healthy, like their their overall health.

SPEAKER_00 1:07:46

That's what a doctor, there's a medical oath you're supposed to take, you know, that's don't harm a human over But they get paid so much money to sell you this pill and you get so much more bonuses because they sold this many pills.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:01

If you want a new business, you want a new house, like your roster of patients should be healthy the whole year. Do you get a $200,000 bonus or whatever bonus? You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_00 1:08:14

There's no money in healthy people.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:16

Absolutely not. There's there's no profit in a cure. It's only in treatment.

SPEAKER_00 1:08:21

Yep.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:22

Like why do you think they why do you think they give you small doses of cancer to treat your cancer? Yeah. Like radius. Radiation universally, everyone knows is terrible. You want to stay as far from radiation as you can possibly get. I got cancer. I gotta go let them shoot me with this radiation. Like I get that it can kill small cells, cancer cells and stuff, but like overall, it can't be good for you because everyone knows that it causes mutations and nuclear fallout. What do you do? Everybody's gotta go away for 10,000 years. You know what I mean? Like 50,000 years. So that just lets you know how brainwashed we can be no matter how bad something works, even though it works a little bit. My grandma had cancer, like she had throat cancer, she get radiation, like she come back, her whole throat be like a burned up. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_00 1:09:38

Like my dad's in remission.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:42

I know, I'm so glad Big Wave Dave is Yeah, he's good. Good for now. No, he's good. Good. Yeah, he's good.

SPEAKER_00 1:09:51

SPEAKER_02 1:09:54

Yeah, Polly. What Polly do Polly's so cool.

SPEAKER_00 1:10:02

We love love you. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:10:06

What time is it? How long have we been going?

SPEAKER_00 1:10:11

70 minutes.

SPEAKER_02 1:10:12

70 minutes? Ooh.

SPEAKER_00 1:10:14

As long as the other ones.

SPEAKER_02 1:10:16

I know. We almost go off on a couple of different tangents.

SPEAKER_00 1:10:21

Yeah, we did. Uh it's also very rainy outside. I know. Kind of gloomy. Okay, we just paint. Talked about the concert, that's the main thing I want to talk about.

SPEAKER_02 1:10:31

I know. I've been waiting all week to hear about it.

SPEAKER_00 1:10:34

Yeah, I just had to get that story. It's really the ticket story. That was just fun how that worked out.

SPEAKER_02 1:10:40

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:10:41

All right, we don't need to relive it. We'll let everybody go.

SPEAKER_02 1:10:44

We did that, we did that like the same thing when we went to Disney World. Like for uh because we went during COVID and there was no fast pass, which we went about that anyway. Uh, but they had a rider share, uh-huh, which if you had a baby, you could gr y'all could stand in line and then everybody could ride. And then as soon as you get off rider share, the person with the baby can swap, and then like depending on the ride, one or two more people might get back on the ride, yeah. Just right through the fast pass line. Oh man, we used Rocco. He was like eight months old when we were. Y'all learned that. Bro, MK figured it. She was like the mastermind of it. She's like, yo, I just realized something. And then she said, This is what we do. I said, Yo, that's a genius. We did that for three days. Yeah. We wrote everything we could.

SPEAKER_00 1:11:35

Nice.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:35

It was so it's awesome when things work out. We kind of manipulated it more than y'all did.

SPEAKER_00 1:11:42

Y'all just it was just all kind of handed to you. Yeah, it kind of just happened. It was weird how it happened for us.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:48

But no, we didn't manip we used it. We manipulated it. I mean, we used it the right way, like the way it was supposed to be.

SPEAKER_00 1:11:54

But y'all just kind of took advantage of an inch, y'all took a mile.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:59

We would go pre-register for different rides with him.

SPEAKER_00 1:12:04

Yeah. Nah. No, I think what we did was pretty. That was that was manipulating the system.

SPEAKER_02 1:12:11

I mean, not really.

SPEAKER_00 1:12:12

We just bought the tickets and they gave it to your advantage. They gave me two free tickets. I had two seats I had already paid for.

SPEAKER_02 1:12:21

You didn't scam. You took advantage of a situation.

SPEAKER_00 1:12:24

I didn't just steal no money from them. I didn't steal.

SPEAKER_02 1:12:27

You just took advantage of a situation that was made more sense. If you was at the casino and you saw something where you could win some money, like bet on someone else, wouldn't you do it?

SPEAKER_00 1:12:41

Yeah, if it was a shoe in.

SPEAKER_02 1:12:43

Yeah. It was like that's not stealing from the casinos.

SPEAKER_00 1:12:47

Uh-uh.

SPEAKER_02 1:12:48

It's just took advantage of a situation and I was there for it.

SPEAKER_00 1:12:51

Tickets paid for.

SPEAKER_02 1:12:53

Right.

SPEAKER_00 1:12:53

Whatever.

SPEAKER_02 1:12:55

I like it. You shouldn't feel bad. I don't feel bad. Yeah. I mean, like I didn't. I didn't mean to say that you did. I didn't mean to imply that you feel bad. That's fun. I would have done the same thing. And then been just as happy.

SPEAKER_00 1:13:11

It was dope because then we could literally like look over our right shoulder and like just like tight things.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:18

Yeah, they were jamming.

SPEAKER_00 1:13:19

It was fun.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:20

Oh yeah. I mean, it's fine because it made someone else's night better too.

SPEAKER_00 1:13:24

Like they never had to be in the rain at all.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:28

It was nothing but positive. No one, no one got a bad night.

SPEAKER_00 1:13:32

No one got stuck. Yeah. Nobody was left.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:35

Lakewood didn't get hurt.

SPEAKER_00 1:13:36

Nope. Nobody was out of a seat.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:39

Nobody got nothing negative about the situation. It's all positive. Man, I hope something like that happens to me. It will. It will.

SPEAKER_00 1:13:48

All right, fellas and gents. That's the same thing, ladies and gentlemen.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:54

Yeah. Shre and MK.

SPEAKER_00 1:13:58

Love y'all. Love you. All right. Until next time.
