Yeah, and you're getting invaded over here by the War, the Mighty War. Like they're gonna come and piss and everything onto. Every They're gonna put all their bodily fluids inside of me. And how does that make you feel? On me? I'm sorry?

0:44 How does that make you feel? It makes me feel. Real nostalgic because when I was a child, I used to play a place called the Axiom in Houston, and Guar always played the Axiom. And I think I was thirteen or even. Twelve when I stood in the front row and I had it penis flewid all over me, and I remember thinking this isn't right, But why do I love it so much? Right? And forever I. Had this gar fascination. And I just got a picture with them nice and they were so nice to me. That was so cool. They do look much better in costume. I've seen them out I. Haven't seen them out of costume, and I think I'm gonna keep it under wrap. You gotta keep it that way, Yeah, totally trust me. How do they do that? Though? Can I ask you a question? Like fands like Ghost, Sleep, Tooken Koar, how do they even go to like McDonald's in their outfits?

1:30 Yet? I would go with the outfits if I would, I would too. I'd be like Anockbuster. Video Friday Night Here I am there's a singer of Sleep Token. Yeah, totallyitting a freaking DVD. That's what I would do, Yeah, of course. Or I have Spencer be terrifier. What if you're going on to like a first date and she fell in love with the mask and he's like. God, can I just I know what that feels like? I sleep? So never mind. It kind of sucks like they're like, oh, where's the other guy? Wait, where's the really cool guy? Why do you do normal things right with kids and stuff? And they think like metal heads this image that people have of metal heads.

2:15 Lightheads are the nicest, sweetest people. Hey, hey, get back to your house and they're like, what do you mean it's not all wrapped up in chains and motorcycles. I know, right, it's actually pink and nice salmon color. In the living room, we were talking about that. Being an artist. One say, He's like, yeah, let's let them keep thinking we're mean and nice scary bikers. Remember bikers, you'd be like, oh, they must be satanists. Bikers are sweet noice to take you on a ride with them, exactly exactly, So tell. Us about what's going man. Why I think's cool? It's you got new music, but you're also a comedian I am or something like that. I am self proclaimed, I don't know.

2:55 Them, I'm funny, but people keep paying money to come see me tell jokes. And had that come about? I got cross. That stopped smoking crystal method in front of meine thirteen years ago, and all of a sudden, I got my personality back wow, started going oh man, life got real scary, and then everything after that was just an added bonus and it was like, holy shit, I'm alive. So I stopped taking myself so damn seriously, remember me? I was the. Hate me today Into the ocean ended all like how much more dramatic can you get? People only want to watch you circle a drain before they're like, shut the fuck up, you little bitch, right, you know. So, I life, it's so funny and so beautiful. It's amazing. I got three kids, I'm a single man. I love my life, and I write jokes constantly because it's so funny. I just go around and listen to what people say that's been hilarious, and then I just write it down.

3:49 Play a couple of songs, go. Do these tours where it's about getting sober, about not about doing the next right thing, but laughing at myself. It's called I laugh at myself if it's hilarious. And see, I love that because we all need to laugh at ourselves. I think we take ourselves so seriously. Oh god, that might be why we turn to drugs, because we're taking ourselves so fucking seriously that it's like we think that the way out is the drugs. Yeah. No, it's actually just being funny and making funny yourself. That's it. Sucking on a pacifier. Because everybody else making fun of you anyway, you might as well join them. I mean, who knows, I might shit myself on stage, you know. But but I can't believe you said that, because I have a question. I normally ask all right, and it's if you had one story, good or bad, that's it.

4:35 That's the one. I've had five bands tell me when they shit themselves on stage for real. I was opening. I can't remember who it was, but it was in front of ten thousand people, and we have this song called coming Closer, and it's back at my heavy drinking cocaine speed days and that stuff drains you. You know what I'm saying. Wo Like I was. I lived on the Sunset Strip in the eighties, so I can now you understand. No, he took for more. Anyway. I went up for that high note and I just wearing white socks and black dickies. So everybody saw it, and I said, you know what is this? Riding a row man? Finished the whole set with shit on my pants. It was good. Wow, I'm a real I'm a real deal holy Field.

5:16 So I wasn't gonna stop and go oh. I got so many stories though, that's just a funny one. Yeah. Would you get in the ring with real deal holy Field? No? No, you mean like a boxing ring? Yeah? Oh hell no, I would. I would fight a mug, but not Holyfield. Nope. I used to while I was younger, I'm like, give me a million dollars. I'll get in a ring with Tyson. Give me a million dollars, I'll knock out. Yeah, okay, you said million dollars. As soon as Tyson would like even breathe on me, I'd like fall on the ground. I'll just say, fuck it, bro, I. Will let you knock me out for ten grand. You know what I'm saying. It's like, just come on, any many million dollars, I'll let holy Field knock me out, right, I'll let him knock me out.

5:59 He's got paid you. Let Tyson bite your ear off though. Yeah, yeah, I'd let him bite like but it can be like a lot, just a little bit, just a little bit. My ears are nice, they're not Look at my ears. Look at my ears. They're not too big, not too they're. Nice, nice ears. See well, they want to bite it. Look at that. That could go right there. I got a little fat right here, a little ring. Yeah, that's a little bit of that's that's called called a little bit cocaine and a little bit age this. You can bite a little bit of that off. Oh yeah, I hate that ship. Fucking Mike Tyson bring it million dollars, bite me anywhere there you go, bite my dick for. Christ, especially nowadays because now he's just gonna tap you for fun.

6:39 Yeah, he seems like he's finding some sort of higher power. Eventually he's like. Foreman Man, Foreman was just like him mean and then turn out to this lovable teddy bear. Yeah. I think that whole thing, with the fight thing, I think it was all kind of I mean, I'm just assuming. I think it was. I think he got a really good payday, and good for him. Let that young buck come up and do whatever he wants. But if you find me at age seventy and i'm and I get paid twenty million dollars to fall down and look like an. Ass, I will be doing that. Yeah. I will come to your house and walk your dog and wash your car in a g string if you pay me money. I got three kids, two baby mamas. I'll do anything for money. There it is there. Hey, that's the way it should be, though, doing anything for your kids anything. But would you get pegged for your kids?

7:25 I would if Yeah, sure I'd get pegged for my. Kids because I know another media. I haven't already been pegged, you know, I haven't already. I said I was on speed back in the night. Well, that's true. You know I haven't already been that's true. Come on, what did most people do when there's on speed? Do weird shit? Do weird shit? I remember back in the eighties. Okay, not many people know this. We did Christmas trees, we did black beauties, yeah, did coke. And then somebody gave me some shit that was speed. They called it crank. Oh I love that. Then you know why they call it crank because the old bikers used to carry it in their crank shift. Wow, I didn't know that. I know all the lingo. Okay, going with your story. I'm sorry, sir, I didn't even realize that it was actually crystal mast It lit you.

8:07 The fuck up. I didn't even know. I just thought I was starting some fucking. Christmas off the rails for a month, right. Yeah, pretty much. Mis My butthole when you talk about it, my butthole is like yawning at you right now. My butthole is literally crinkly going like that. Oh man, it's pretty neat. That's funny, because what were we reading about buttholes this morning? The size, you know, the size. That's a big I could put my whole fist in there. Right, that wouldn't even that wouldn't even be fisting. Go fasty, yes, right, jeez, you can put a dolphin in there right. Wow, Now we're gonna get in trouble with like green Peace and ship. Yeah, don't do that.

8:48 Save the dolphins. Saved the dolphins. Put a bull shark up your eyes. I think I'm funny if my mother were to hear this. Man, Paul, you don't even want to know what we're talking about. No, we went from Mereda buttholes. Okay, it's my man right here. I think we're gonna be friends for life. Right, So tell us about the new song. New song I wrote because I wrote with the band. We have a guitarist that's just a shredder. He's an amazing, badass guitarist. He's always played with us, but never could tour. So I got rid of all my other guitarists. When he finally said he wanted to go tour, and I put him in the band and he just rips like old King Crimson rips but this day and then I put fat dance beats to the King Crimson rips, and it's like if a strip club was made of gold.

9:38 That's what it makes it soundline, and that's a great I'm from South Florida. We have solid gold down there at the strip club. I'm just saying. I have the most beautiful girlfriend. And when I wrote it, all I could think about, which is how great she'd looked just right there dancing and I'm dancing with her, and that's just she's just so high. I love it. So now I can write about that because break the fact that she's a bad bitch. Nice then, but then strip clubs will play this song because it looks good and it's I'm just so happy that we. Know some songs get famous from strip club I would not have. A problem with that. Do I want to go back, don't. I've spent a lot of time in those places. Don't need to go back. Yeah, I live in South Florida, so you could imagine that I was at the Dollhouse, oh before Motley Crew know about it. Yeah, in in Fida. It's not there anymore either, thank god.

10:29 I know rac mold was all up in there. Oh yeah, it was asbestos, you know what. They might drive a plane through the dollhouse. I wouldn't be mad, but yeah, that's the song. Is a rocker, man, it's a rocker. It reminds me a lot of old zz Top. It reminds me of Inexcess mixed with some zz Top. It is bad ass. I was listening to you and it's like probably one of your best songs ever. Bro, are you're not going to make out? This is hot as long as there's no bugging, pegging, no buttholes involved. All right, well, let's talk to about that. I know, let's ask guar that's wrong. Maybe I'll yeah, maybe I'll ask them in the interview about pegg. No, have they ever paid? Which whale? Is it? The blue whale?

11:10 Yeah? Have they ever pegged a blue? Now? Say, would you peg a blue whale for a million dollars? That's a good one. I like green Peace was after your ass. I like that I would And you know which one is it? Blowthard has been three penises, bro, But he's got three penises, so maybe he's the one that would do a blue whale. Bro. Those guys look so great. All right, so tell everybody how they can get your new music. Check out your tour. We're always socials at oltober. Dot com, Blue October Band, everything, just go out there. We have a catalog. We've been around for almost thirty years. We only get better looking with age, and we make better music.

11:53 Life's good. It is better music when you're straight, right, yeah, man, like you don't think so. You think you can only make music back then.
