Head down and work harder than everyone else and we had a lot of hard work ahead of us. When we were on the road, everyday was a grind each evening where he had schedules for the following day, they look like this. Wake up at 6am. Pick up at 7am.

Morning radio station interview, 7, 30 to 8, 30 a.m. travel morning, TV 9 to 10 a.m. travel prick. Press slash photo shoots till 1pm lunch for 30 minutes. Travel afternoon radio station visits travel sound. Check with meet and greet interviews at venue dinner, Showtime after show, game read with radio station and contest.

Lenders, travel to Next City. We give you some grueling and it was so little time for fun. But let alone the hotel trash in bed at one point, just Steve and I vow that if we were going to work this hard, we should party just this after. All everyone told us that we were a famous rock stars now but it sure didn’t feel that way.

The Relentless schedule, made it hard to live out any of the Rockstar fantasies we’d ever heard unless Rockstar is secretly fantasized by waking up at 6. Am spending hours smiling strangers and shoving Subway sandwiches in this amounts between interviews. We needed to have a little more pop. You need to.

It’s a phrase as you wash it. The first step is to take some control of our schedule. There wasn’t much, we could change, but we could move the aftershell bus call by switching to time. We had to be on the bus from midnight at 4am. We could stay in the city.

After our work was done, we try to stay in a little action. The only problem was was becoming a Rockstar down. Check with meet and grip interviews at venue hard. Work ahead of us. It’s about a party in New York, pretty early in our career and he decided to share some words of wisdom.

Yeah, I fucking love of guys. So I’m gonna give you a piece of advice TV and fans bought so many copies that the album is hitting gold or Platinum and countries all around the world, all that of just the first single. He’s only got wild there after how someone’s released while it was exciting.

It was exhausting too. We were releasing you just a year after our killer which itself had come out only a year after a half hour about we were on the hamster wheel and it was spinning at full speed Our bandits started out playing basement parties in Ajax and now we played Arenas, we’re on the cover of magazines.

Every major, press Outlet wanted interviews with us every radio station wanted us to play the festival. We’re a more late night comic shows, more early morning, radio shows, more everything. We had journalists asking to travel with us. Hoping to go behind the scenes with the band and see our rapid fire rise.

Firsthand We did it all. We never questioned it because when your dreams are coming true, all the work is fun. This is what it took for us to be the Mac and more importantly to stay the back. Not everything at that time. Was fun though. With all the new attention, there were a lot of Vibes on us and not all of them.

Like, what they saw, there’s a lot of critique in my appearance, people would knock my hive and my looks, and it felt like almost every article about the band. Made sure to comment, huh? With a big nose, which still happens to this day. I even got nominated for the dubious honor of the ugliest people in rock award from Quran magazine.

Obviously it hurt but I also kind of like the fact that I had beaten the system. I was successful despite being too short, too unattractive and begged, a horrible unlockingable name of Derek whibley, I started to take a dark pride in it getting in, on the joke and telling people that it was all true.

And that, that was why I went into music and not male model. The constant critique took a toll, though. To prove, I was where I was supposed to be. I tried to keep my head down and work harder than everyone else and we had a lot of hard work ahead of us.

When we were on the road, every day was a grind each evening where he had a scheduled for the following day. That looked like this, Wake up at 6am. Pick up at 7am. Morning radio station interview, 7, 30 to 8, 30 a.m. travel morning, TV 9 to 10 A.M travel prick, press photo shoots till 1pm lunch for 30 minutes.

Travel afternoon, radio station visits travel sound. Check with meet and greet interviews at venue dinner, Showtime after show, meet, and greet with radio station and contest. Lenders. Travel the next city, probably a hill. It was so grueling and it was so little time for fun. Let alone Hotel traction that at one point Steve and I vowed that if we were going to work this hard, we should party just as hard.

After all, everyone told us that we were famous rock stars now but it sure didn’t feel that way. The Relentless schedule, made it hard to live out any of the Rockstar fantasies. We never heard of unless Rockstar is secretly fantasize about waking up at 6:00 a.m. Spending hours smiling at strangers and shoving Subway sandwiches into the balance between interviews.

If we were going to be living our dreams, we needed to have a little more fun. The first step was to take some control of our schedule. There wasn’t much, we could change but we could move the aftershell bus call by switching the time, we had to be on the bus from Midnight to 4am.

We could stay in the city. After our work was done, and try to squeeze in a little action. Really problem was was becoming increasingly difficult for me to go out in public. The more famous, I got, the more difficult it was for me to blend into a crowd, or grab a drink in a bar, while the other guy’s got left alone or even had people offer to buy them drinks.

I was getting fucked with wherever we went. Sucks 41 is here. They would intentionally bump into me throw ice or drinks at me or just try to scare me down from across the room. It was clear. The only reason these idiot men were trying to fuck with me was because wherever we went girls wouldn’t pay attention to us and not them.

After two back-to-back incidents where I walked into a bar and got punched in the back of the head. While I was ordering a drink. I stopped going out to bars all together. So where do you go when you can’t go to a bar but want to have some wild goose soaked fun a strip club, of course.

We’re always welcome with open arms at strip clubs. It became a routine. We’d finish a show hop on the tour bus drive over to the closest gentleman’s establishment and head inside to get to know all the dancers. Clothes, we’d invite the girls onto the bus, turning it into our own private dance club to burn away the last few hours of the night strip clubs.

Apparently talk to each other because soon, wherever we were touring clubs started reaching out. We put the girls on the guest list and they would bring us back to their clubs. So, she like strip clubs. Of course, Vinnie, Paul the late drummer from Pantera had opened his own adult entertainment spot.

The clubhouse in Dallas We made sure to stop by every time we were touring through. It was a mutual fandom that evolved into friendship. We had Golden Platinum record plaques, made out to Vinnie, Paul in the clubhouse and they hung them on the walls at the bar. Understand that with dancers though late one night in our early days of touring we were in our hotel with a few dancers and some guys from a local radio station when a stripper OD in front of us, No idea what she’d taken, but we knew something was very wrong.

When she started compulsing and foaming at the mouth, we were still only 19 and 20 and had no idea what to do. We knew we had to call someone and get her some help, but we didn’t want to get in trouble either. We decided to wield the convulsant girl, down the hall, to the elevator in a hotel desk chair.

Elector in the care of the front desk clerk paramedic scheme in Cumberland. Another night we were in Florida and two girls were giving cone and Stevo lap.

It was pretty good, man. We had a good time and uh went and saw the Disco biscuits down in Philly. And uh, oh man, I hurt myself. I’ve actually been out of work for like a week. A fell dude. Yeah, like I was doing everything all night. We went to the show, we drank we smoked, we had great mushrooms.

We did nitrous, I fall walking to bed, from my couch at, like, 5, 30, in the morning, I just tripped on my pants. I mean, all the things that could have hurt me that night, that’s how I go out. I was so pissed, man, but it’s really slow at work right now, so they’re like, they don’t really care.

They’re like just take the week and recoup, I’m fine. I’m getting better but it was, uh, definitely a weird way to bring 2025 and I was like if it hasn’t already been weird enough, you know, why don’t I know the Disco biscuits, what’s their deal? Like a jam van, they’re actually really good.

Um, I don’t I to be honest with you, I don’t know tons about them. But uh, I’ve turned a few people onto them. They’re pretty cool. Check them out on YouTube. They’ve done a really good job. How big a venue, do these guys play? I mean, because they’re not on my radar but that doesn’t mean anything.

They’re probably good. How many people were there? Okay, so we saw him at the Fillmore which is an awesome venue in Philly, picking Fishtown really. It’s kind of like the electric Factory, like anybody knows that it’s like a smaller more intimate venue, not really bad seat in the house, but beautiful venue.

And uh, so maybe I don’t know how many people were there. We’re pretty chilling, but I was able to like make it to like almost the front of the stage. So I mean I guess there was maybe a thousand people. Someone like that. You like to hear about these guys who you know, they’re not necessarily household names but they can make a living, you know?

Yeah. For shows right now. Uh, you know, it’s just like that kind of like in between time like everybody’s like I feel like on the West Coast when it’s like winter time here and then everybody comes to the East Coast like spring and summer. So I’ve got I’ve got my first show this summer on my last show.

The summer lined up. So I’m excited about that. I’m gonna go see, Teddy swims and then I got a waste this tickets. Don’t ask me how I scored it. Yeah. How did you get those Loisa tickets? That’s an easy score. That’s very nice. Yeah. I went on like this one app I have and like, it was like at night and like it’s on Labor Day.

So like my friend that goes to all the shows with me, I was like she’s got kids and stuff, so I was like, dude, can I pull the trigger? Like you’re gonna be away with the kids and she’s like, I’m coming. I’m like awesome ride or die baby. Don’t fight and kill each other before the show, you know?

Brother. You may make it. Yeah you might never get to see Oasis. I mean those two brothers get together it’s combustible I mean they they probably have like handlers who have to just like keep them engages. Yeah when they when they shift venues Those guys are. Just vicious with one another.

There’s a lot of bad blood there but the two brothers and I was in charge of Oasis, please keep them apart. I really want to see him on Labor Day. Man, that would be awesome. And that’s like definitely bucket list and I would think they’d ever get back together.

It must be hurt for cash, but whatever. I just hope they didn’t make it. Then it’s funny how brothers can get along once the cashier starts dwindling. Yeah, suddenly you got to sell some merch but uh, You know, that should be a good show and you know, if I ever get good on the guitar, I don’t know.

Jill. You might have to come see me in concert. I’m possibly putting together a band. Do you think they put those two brothers on the same t-shirt? Or can they not even get a law? No, you have to buy one or the other. It’s really unbelievable. All right, Joe later, gotta go and I hope you feel better.

Did you break your leg? So like I fell backwards, like my focal card, I fell back and I just it was I don’t know how, I didn’t my friends sleeping on the couch. I don’t even know how she didn’t wake up. I think I walked the whole apartment building up.

I was like, oh, But uh I’m I’m just resting, I’m fine. I’ll be all right. Just are you waiting? You know, when you’re wasted I remember like when I used to drink I remember once I broke my my pinky toe because I just slammed my foot into the desk you know like yeah stupid shit.

That’s the dumbest thing of all the things I’m wandering around looking for my Uber doing nitrous blends and I eat shit after I’ve been sleeping for hours like in my living room. Like are you kidding me? Like, I’m all the ways I could have got hurt that night. That’s like insane.

So we’re just gonna take it slow, slow and smooth, you know. Yeah, actually, I’m, I don’t know. I was going to announce this, but I’m the host of a new game show where people take, uh, nitrous balloons and then they have to call their Uber and uh, depending on how fast they do it, they win prizes.

You know he’s a big nitrous guy is uh Sal where are you Sal love? The psychic is uh well that’s why he’s a psychic.
