Summary
Episode #249 features the return of guest 'Supe' and focuses primarily on the hosts' recent 46-day tour across North America, where they encountered numerous bizarre and chaotic incidents including a disastrous Mexican restaurant experience, a pepper spray altercation at a Seattle venue, and various other memorable moments from shows in multiple cities.
Insights
- Extended touring (46 days, 40 shows) creates both memorable bonding experiences and physical/mental strain, with hosts sleeping in vans between hotel stays and managing illness while performing
- Venue quality and logistics significantly impact show experience—poor lighting, awkward layouts, and small crowds create disconnected energy even with talented performers
- Food safety and restaurant quality vary dramatically by region; hosts encountered shockingly poor food preparation standards that caused physical illness
- Metal/punk show culture attracts unpredictable crowds with varying levels of respect for performers and other attendees, from enthusiastic fans to disruptive individuals
- Long-form podcast conversations naturally drift between serious tour stories, product sponsorships, and absurdist humor, reflecting the show's unscripted format
Trends

wherever the fuck But we all Collectively took A bite or two from our food and we were just like Nah, let's get the fuck out of here Absolutely fucking not Yeah it would be afraid to get food poisoning from that That's why we didn't eat it We were like a bite or two We were like nah this is not good I feel like I'm a homeless person prepared your shit Yeah and I think I would have rather

it down in front of the dog The dog sniffs it And turns his nose up to it Doesn't touch it Oh my god That's crazy and I'm like that's how you know That shit right there Is fucking awful Yep Not very often when a dog turns down food When does a dog ever turn down food Have you ever known a dog to be like nah No If it's like lettuce or something Or maybe an enchilada An enchilada with beef or whatever If I drop an enchilada on the ground my dog would fucking choke on it My dog eats fucking tissues and then shits them out Exactly If you would have came into that dog and been like Hey did your dog eat bloody tampons Here's a bloody tampon What's that dog Huh What are you doing to a dog If you just stuck a tampon in that dog Have you already used one No but for real Fucked up Yeah

poisoning That sounds like food poisoning I mean if you're cooking food Like that you're probably not following Basic food safety laws Not seeing big mama walk out of a garage With a bag of great value corn Yeah I don't think From 1904 I don't think they really give a fuck about Shit Shit's dangerous dude Just in that one bite you took A toenail I would have rather eaten a booger Safer going

I didn't witness this one But apparently in Montreal There was a dude in a wheelchair That almost got in a fight And got kicked out I'm looking to show So this is all second hand I didn't witness this, this is what was told to me So I did see the wheelchair guy though I saw him around So he was there, can't confirm But But Apparently what happened Is he was at our show In our pit And he was like causing problems In the mosh pit, as you can imagine Bless your sorrow, sweetheart I fucking hate it Ride the mask, can you feel that on your I feel it on my upper lippy Get your fuckers in your mask Let's take it off and wipe your face off real quick I like it, it's full of salty Anyway, wheelchair guy Wheelchair guy trying to fight people In the mosh pit And I was told he was fighting a wheelchair I don't know, I was told He was lunging at people Trying to fight them And he was lunging Like this, you know Trying to hit people or some shit So They're arguing or whatever Apparently, like this, these other dudes In the wheelchair guy or some shit And the venue staff Tells the wheelchair guy he's got to go And he's like really drunk And not wanting to cooperate And I was told that the Venue staff was starting to wheel him out To like get him outside to tell him to leave And shit, you know But it was an electric wheelchair So he fucking turned the brakes off Oh my god And would not So the wheels wouldn't Like, log the fucking brakes So the venue staff had to like fucking pick him up In his wheelchair or some shit to get him out That's so embarrassing Was that while you were playing Or was that somebody else's show? Yeah, it was while we were playing Sometimes in some of these spots They'll have the lights on the stage They'll have like a light bar sometimes Facing us So you can't really see The dark areas The vision sort of gets like blocked off at certain spots Because that wasn't a really big show I feel like I should have seen all this happening But Yeah, sometimes the lights and shit You can't really see too well out there Yeah, I can't remember if somebody was coming out with like bright headlights And everything around it is just kind of like You kind of just lose vision of the darkness Yeah, because the stage Like some of the stages will be really bright And then you can't see fucking shit out into the crowd To a certain point Two experiences at metal shows With people in wheelchairs And none of them have been normal One, the wheelchair guy was getting Crowdsurfed in the wheelchair That's wicked Which is fucking metal, that's sick And the other one, I was out in Vegas At Sick Me World Their big ass metal festival or whatever And I think we were watching Bring Me the Horizon or some shit Do a set And some fucker in a wheelchair got their like Ripped out In the pit And he had to stop the show And have everybody move back So they could get this guy medivacked I just don't... how the fuck does that happen? Like you're doing like a fatality on their throat In the pit This one's thinking of Mortal Kombat where you like Rips the spine out of the mouth or whatever Yeah, that's fucking insane In metal as shit and I love it You just love guys getting their tricks ripped out Entering the handicap in the pit Fuckin' Metal Careful bro, certified You're about to throw blood for a second Yeah, that too I don't fucking know how to do it So that's some of the notable shit That I wrote down From a fucking dude I feel like crazy shit has to happen In 46 days on tour That's a long one Another one I didn't write down was In Vancouver Whenever we played there was our first Canadian show And We were loading our gear in And this crackhead was driving Like a massive fucking RC car On the sidewalk Like it's big Fucking RC car Big motherfucker that was flying Like that kind of shit And Jacob was walking out of the fucking venue And the door Is just like right onto the sidewalk So he's walking out And I'm watching this Fucking crackhead with this RC car And as he's walking out This RC car just goes flying By the fucking front door of the venue So Jacob was just like He just stopped and this RC car was like Inches away from just taking his legs out Dude I probably would have heard the fuck out of him Yeah, I probably would have knocked him on his ass That thing was big and it was flying Oh damn You see some fucking Weird shit dude This country is an Interesting place in Canada What would you say is probably your favorite State that you've been to Like while you were on tour Was there any area where you just felt good Being in that state I really like Northern California a lot It's fucking beautiful up here It's a specific Northwest You went to Oregon Yeah I remember I drove through Oregon in the middle of fall That place is fucking gorgeous Tons of nature everywhere I took a photo That I put on Twitter And I was like hey, Geo, guess her nerds Can you figure out where I'm at Did you all see that one? That was in I took that photo Because I woke up And we were in Merrill Oregon Oh yeah Everybody knows about that Everybody knows about Merrill It is a Very very fucking small town Obviously I looked it up because I'm like where the fuck are we It has a population of 855 People Okay, look forward Interesting facts about it It's home This is all it really says The population It's agricultural area And it's home to an annual potato festival Oh fuck yeah Hell yeah That's how you know a lot is fucking happening Absolutely good of that Merrill Was the birthplace and boyhood home Of Merrill Barks The Disney comic artist who created Scrooge McDuck I think it was Carl Barks Carl Barks Tell you Merrill Oregon We see you That's fucking awesome Yup It's a great place to live honestly Yeah, that place really stood out to me a lot Goons meeting Merrill Oregon Potato festival, whatever that is I'd be so down for that Just try a bunch of different fries and shit Yeah, check out some Spuds Are you just sniffing fucking cheeky right now I think you just have a What does it smell like? Burger cheese Burger butt Burger butt Burger butt Burger butt, gotcha Do you have any shows where you do this like Fucked up You just fuck up A guitar here when you miss a note or something Yes, there were a couple Towards the end of the tour I had some It wasn't like Show ruining or like super bad But Just fuck ups that are like It's funny how you can play the same shit For 40 fucking days in a row And then you mess up the easiest parts Of course Not even the hard shit It's the simple shit We have a section of a song Where the song is called Give them hell and I get the crowd To chant, give them hell And it's like a four four just like Do do cut, do do cut, do do cut You know, like that And I just do like give Damn And I get the crowd to sing along with it Well I came in late So I was on the You know the musical term The downbeat or the musical Downbeat Yeah, not the one The and I wasn't on the one, I was on the two somehow Yes So it was like give them hell Is that what you mean? Yeah, it was like that basically And it confused the crowd too So that was So that whole section In my bands looking at me like What Are you doing? So I just stopped There was no vocals In that whole section I was just like I'm just gonna not do anything Here and wait Wait for the next part That's hilarious Yeah and that's like the easiest part Of our set I believe I'm literally just playing like I play like three notes With the chant And I just fucked that up Which is hilarious I think it's one of those things where you just become so like Confident with it that after time you just kind of like You don't pay as much attention to While you're doing it And then you kind of just slip up after it Until you ruin it, yeah Until it's rump I fucked up the Chorus Of our very first song of the set By being late I was not on the one Literally when it's on the two bro Literally Metallica does that shit Quite often Yeah it's Sometimes you're just not in the groove You just have one of those days For me it was always the Really easy shit that I fucked up That I've done a thousand times Yeah, nothing like catastrophic Like I didn't fucking shit myself And cry and fall over and get little fire Yeah just my My pants You just calm while you're playing I Humped my bass too hard And I jizz everywhere And shit myself and cry Your bass is grinding on your ding dong Fucking metal Seems like fun though Going on tour Six weeks Long time It was eight weeks I think Eight weeks? Pretty sure it was eight weeks I don't know, it was a long fucking time 46 days, that would be 30 And then yeah that would be six weeks Eight weeks would be 60 years It's still a long ass fucking time To be like just away from home consistently Just driving around Cruising around playa Yeah Seeing this whole fucking country Did you kill anybody? A couple people I wanted to kill Murrell Yeah Bring the population down Murrell 800 That would be a huge hit to the town Yeah That show that I went to I think it's like my fourth or fifth concert I've ever been to I remember I had like a short period where I was I remember I went to Timigraha I went and saw Metallica in Vegas Or in Los Angeles And then Steve Vai Which was like a town over for me And then just didn't go to anything for a long ass time And then I went to your show That's what you get in the pit? No, there was some little dude You could just fucking punt people man Dude there was some little dude like Doing like fucking spin house like road house And I was just like I'm not Yeah those guys are interesting at metal shows They think they're the whole pit, it's all about them Yeah, like they just It's like their main goal is just to like hurt people Like it's just Like you go in a pit and a lot of people run around They spin in circles with the kind of push But then there's just like one or two people where they're like I want to break somebody's jaw They're like winnills and shit That show is also really interesting I love that like of all the Of all the fucking ones that you could have came to The one that you came to was that one Yeah Is that dude Something about playing in a brewery It sounds like It would be Phenomenal, like a match made in heaven Or you're like oh metal band, beer Oh yeah this is gonna be great No, in my experience It's never been great And that one was Fucking just The lighting was really bad Anytime The entire fucking room Is one lighting Like bright lights and all that It just sort of It feels awkward It makes me feel awkward when everything's lit up Yeah And that's how it was It wasn't like super bright but they had that Purple light on the whole time Yeah I remember that That just never fucking changed Like imagine your room do Show with that lighting The entire time Yeah and honestly that lighting Is probably better than the fucking That we had there Damn Most of the green room is horrendous To the green room It was literally like a closet And most of the time you don't even have a fucking green room At least we had something To sit down and fucking hang out Yeah it was literally a closet In the back of this brewery It's just like yep Here you go Here's two seats For fucking everyone When your legs get tired switch off Yeah that show was awkward You gotta come to a really You gotta come to a good one We'll be back up there Like go to LA or something You went to Hollywood You went to Hollywood and then came to us Right Let me look I can't remember Yeah It was like one of the coolest Fucking shows ever To That to like a garage basically We played the whiskey at go-go To a garage I'm an iconic fucking Yep Basically that's how it goes Yeah remember you sent me a video Of like the I think it was the San Franchu San Francisco or Sacramento or something Especially yeah Way better just to set up Set up in general I can't remember where the fuck we played in San Francisco Some of it feels like a blur I have to like look at a photo Or something to remember Yeah I mean I have a lot of venues Like oh yeah that's where that was Let me see Where we played in San Francisco Oh DNA lounge yes That place was fucking awesome I probably honestly would have went to one of those But where you went I have a friend that lives out there so It's kind of like an excuse to Go hang out with him Go out there for a couple days That place has a really fun Bar scene too San Fran No San Luis Obispo There's like a strip Old town area And there's just like 20 bars I never even heard of it Until this tour San Luis Obispo It's uh not too bad It's definitely one of the like One of the more low key like beach towns But um What are you gonna do I'll give it a second shot Yeah maybe not a brew It would have been better if you Like if there would have been a venue somewhere In the downtown area Because there's always just naturally A fuck ton of people in that area Like that brewery you played was just like Way off like in the industrial area It's kind of like a weird Well it's weird too like people think That we pick the spots Or whatever like we don't really Get Get much of a say in that one That's the powers that be Yeah if you would have like a downtown area That would have been A lot more You would have just had natural like foot traffic Going in and out of there Rather than just some fucking Forking in the middle of nowhere A lot of feet coming in Lots of toes It wasn't like that bad of a show But yeah the crowd Like there was the one guy in the front Do you remember the guy in the front Who was just holding his lighter the whole time And nothing else He was just like Just with a lighter on Just like Like you were playing free beer or something Like you were playing gas metal Yeah It's like fuck you when I mean it Fuck you and I mean it Yeah just the whole time he was just like At the front of the stage like Like you're holding a cigar that's unlit And he's like trying to light it for you What the fuck are you doing Like this isn't real dude Just a pyromaniac Yeah I remember I seen people standing there Like on their phone too like while you're playing Yes What the fuck are you doing And then you had that one guy that you were talking about That just would randomly Like I'm trying to get people fucking moving And getting into it a bit you know And then that one guy like the room was like Split too It would be like a bunch of people up front No one in the middle A bunch of people way in the back Karate chopping his way across And then disappear And then like he Karate Chop his way back It's like what is going on is this a bad dream Yeah He looked over at a couple on their phone Just like talking to one another like Family guy family guy funny moment Yeah It was very very odd I just I feel like there just wasn't enough people To like differ if there was enough People to just completely like fill that room Probably wouldn't have been so bad But yeah it was just like the split and it just kind of like Yeah it was just kind of odd energy Yep Kind of strange the layout of the place too Is not the best for a Like a band to play Yeah It's kind of like two rooms just Split in half it's kind of weird Wasn't the worst though Definitely played shit here that's part of it though You just got a It's like very humbling to go from The whiskey you go go To that because it's just like holy shit This is insane And then you're like oh yeah this is the reality Of What is like touring in a band You're getting bored of it No I get bored of the fucking driving And all you know all the bullshit you have to do But like the actual Yeah the actual show Is really fucking fun I mean it's gotta be fucking badass To have Like tons of people in front of you Screaming your lyrics back at you Oh yeah it's fucking awesome And also the power boner I would get if I'm like controlling people And be like fucking open this pit up And then they just do what I'm saying It's a lot of fucking fun Dude do you ever think you're gonna be in a band dude I tried it in high school Didn't work out If you did it now I'd be all that different No yeah I don't know Yeah I don't know I think just doing the Collab thing online probably If something clicks Like slackjaw keeps asking me to join him I keep fucking turning him down But like Maybe I don't know I just take one day at a time boy It's just uh Crazy to have that level of talent Not being a band I can see you performing live For sure I've done like two shows and they were fucking shit Way back in the day but it was fun It was fun as fuck Weren't you supposed to go and do like a show with Dragon Force or something Yeah right when like covid was really bad He came through and He wanted me to come up in like improv guitar On stage or something and it just didn't work out He was doing that with a bunch of people Like different youtube guitarists and shit You go to their state and hit them up and just feel like They have this one segment where they're like Backup guitar player Sam I think He comes out with like a banjo and shreds it and shit It's like It's like just random as fuck And then I think he wanted me to just come out And just like fucking noodle over something Shred? Yeah That was sick If he comes through again through uh Anywhere in the midwest I'd do it in a fucking sharp beat Yeah that'd be sick as fuck Playing it whole hermally I haven't seen anything from him in a long time That's awesome I remember he was like streaming pretty hardcore But I don't know if he does that anymore He might be touring Probably yeah He actually picked up um I don't know if this guy is still doing it but there was a An Omega YouTuber named Billy Wilkins Who is he like Wanda picking him up and he's like a backup guitar player For them now just an Omega YouTuber guy Really talented and he just like Plays with them now onto her That's fucking awesome Hell yeah Yeah dude I could I could see you doing it one day That'd be awesome I'll play bass for you That's alright I'll play harmonica in the back I'll pick up the banjo And stand on stage with you You know this motherfucker has a song called Ascend Me I sure do Did he played at your show?
