You're going to make my last show here an awesome show.
Sorry about last week.
Oh, it's quite all right.
It's quite all right.
Sorry for your loss, but it's quite all right.
Things happen, you know.
Oh, what happened?
A family member was in an emergency.
I'm sorry.
I was like, oh, my God.
Yeah, I would be more offended if they had said that you were in the gutter, like all coked out or something.
That would be more offended because you're not sharing it, you know.
That would not have been an excuse.
Yeah.
That would be more like you don't want to party or what?
What's up?
What's the number again?
Why 800? 893-9562. 9562.
Listen.
Oh, I should have played some Coral Pandit tonight.
I did.

There's a lot of stuff I wanted to play, but I never got a chance to.
Skid Row Studios?
Yes.
So, if I had a CD, who would play the CD?
The tracks, I actually, you guys send me those tracks.
Oh, you got them?
Oh, La Bessie has sent me the tracks.
Did I send you those?
Yeah.
Yeah, and I got them.
It's already uploaded.
Yeah.
The songs we were playing for you guys.
I'm trying to.
We're doing every day is Monday's first one.
Mind Games, Revenge, and Obsession.
Those are the ones that we like the most.
Those are the ones that were stood out.
And for the infected guys, it is Lowey, Hit Your Face.
I think that's the one you sent me last night.
No, the place I come with the last message.
Yeah, that's the one.
I only do that.

It's the line I got.
I'm like, I'm going to use that one.
Yeah.
And then I.
I'm dangerous.
Okay.
Dangerous.
All right.
We got this.
Hey, so where was this guy trying to commit suicide at, Jeremy?
That building right there.
Right there?
Oh, that's where it was?
When the cops stopped him?
Yeah.
Pulled him up and.
Under where?
Under where?
Under where?
Yeah.
They handcuffed him to his girlfriend and left him?
Yeah, because his girlfriend broke up with him that day and he was going to kill himself.
Yeah.
All right.
You know what?
I'm sorry, but if there's a relationship that's going to end, just let it end.
You know?
You don't.
There's no need for suicide.
There's no need for death.
I'm not about suicide.
We're not going to understand the issue with it, you know?
I used to work in a metal hospital.
A lot of them are kids with breakups.
Really?
A lot.
Especially the teenagers.
Oh, yeah.
Most likely.
Oh, my God.
So you just go get a little hooker.
Yeah.
I mean, granted, you know, my first one was kind of.
Hey, you're going to see an expert.
Those chicks like run around in a bikini.
Come closer, mama.
There she is.
Oh, yeah.
If you look there, there's a gym over there.
You see some chicks running sometimes.
Sweet.
Kind of wish my apartment building was that way, but it's not.
He got lucky I learned that.
Wait, he tried to jump off the building?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And he was like trying to bite the cop's arm so he would let him go.
And the cop like didn't do it.
Yeah.
So I've been.
Yeah.
Disgusting.
So he handcuffed him to the handrail.
And then they cut the handrail off and took him to the metal hospital.
You know, it's amazing what you do for some freaking punani or something.
You know?
You fight people.
You beat them up.
But it's all stupid.
Hey, I don't fight.
It's all stupid.
Better man wins.
Hey, more power to you.
That's a list.
Those are your guys' souvenirs for the night.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh, I thought it was.
Oh, I have tea.
I thought it was a copy of each.
I don't want one.
I don't want one.
Did you get a left-handed pipe or something?
Yeah, because the carb is on this side and the carb is usually on this.
And my thumb's like, what's going on?
That's not where it's supposed to be.
I can't smoke weed.
Why not?
Because I'll fall asleep.
I'm like.
I'll be like.
I do.
I miss out on like some.
Last time I smoked weed really like where I got really, really high.
Hot chicks was like wanting me for some reason.
Hot chicks want you when you're stoned, huh?
No, no.
I was stoned.
She fell over me.
And then I like.
She's like, let's smoke some weed.
I'm like, fuck yeah.
I gotta get laid.
Let's do it.
And I smoked weed.
I passed out.
She went home with some other guy.
That's your fault.
And my friends are like.
You know, they like slap me, whoop me up.
They're like, you're stupid.
You're like.
You know, she let her get away.
It was.
What's her name?
What's.
I don't know.
It was some hot chick, man.
So are you guys still.
Well, I'll ask you this during the show.
I'll save.
I'm going to start reserving my questions now.
Because I'm going to.
I don't want to like.
Repeat.
I don't want to be like.
We're going to go all in depth.
I don't want to be like.
Oh.
Because the one thing I don't like is.
It's dead air.
That's like.
No.
No dead air.
That's the number one rule.
Repeat a question.
You already know.
What did you ask me before?
Because I had a really.
You could totally church it up though.
If you know what it is.
Yeah.
I'm sure.
Yeah.

That way.
Everybody.
Actually, I can just pass these over there.
Oh, so that is.
Yeah.

Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I could.
She does transform from the Beast to Rosita.
Yeah.
Okay, you know what?
I lied.
It was a transformation.
Okay, well, yeah, Rudy said it.
All right, I lied maybe.
I don't know.
I thought it was the same thing, but oh, well.
Because, you know, I've...
Two different styles.
Yeah, one is flamenco and the other isn't.
The other one's ballster face punk rock?
Exactly.
Like, I'm sorry I kicked you in the face.
Are you okay?
I'll give you a free CD to make up for the blood.
Sorry.
And actually, I did kind of, like, was wondering if you were going to kick people when I seen you at the Redwood Plain.
And you're just so full of fucking energy.
I was like, wow.
And I totally remember back when you played in Media Blitz a long time ago.
You remember that?
Yeah.
As a matter of fact, we had played one show together.
Oh, really?
I was playing with Yappo just for a little bit.
And that's the show that James got kicked out for getting naked.
No, James Yappo, he exposed himself and he kicked him.
He came out of the bar.
Was that at Fresh Tux?
Or was that a different bar that he got banned for being naked?
That's one of the many bands.
James, I'm not surprised.
Yeah.
I know.
I was always like, did they play yet?
All right.
There's still a chance.
He's changed.
Oh, he got kicked out.
Oh.
I wouldn't say he's.
Okay, never mind.
No, he's still.
I'm just trying to make him look good.
James is still James.
He's still hardcore as a fucking max, man.
I'm just trying to make him look good.
He still looks good.
He does look good.
I don't know how he doesn't age.
Yeah, I know.
He looks the same.
He looks the same.
Must be all that beer present in his body.
Must be that pact with the devil he made.
Swerking.
James, if you're listening to this, do we want to know, do you have a pact with the devil?
We admire you.
Who doesn't want to have a party lifestyle without showing it?
So, yeah, there's a difference.
Did we answer your question?
Yes, there is a difference.
You appear to be two personalities doing two different things.
It's pretty impressive how you can go back and forth.
I hope you don't think I'm a wacko.
That's true.
That's okay if you do.
I don't see you spitting on the floor when you're flamenco dancing like I do when you're on the roll singing.
The flamenco fans would not appreciate that.
Yeah, no.
I only do that in La Bestia.
It's a different, I guess it's a different scene.
Yeah, I guess they're not the same.
All right.
Two different crowds?
Yeah, two different cultures.
Yeah.
Imagine if they mixed in just for one night.
Like La Bestia just did flamenco just for one night.
I can't wait till that happens.
We have to make that happen.
We have to make that happen.
Flamenco fusion.
The fusion right there.
Yeah, flamenco punk rock.
Or punk rock flamenco.
Or punk rock flamenco.
There you go.
Let's keep both options open.
I see Rudy's head.
I see the wheels turning in there.
He's coming up with some ideas already.
How about like a punk rock solo where she's dancing and playing on this?
Like a microphone.
One of those boxes.
A cajon?
We mic it.
A cajon?
And then you can have a punk rock solo.
There you go.
That is not a problem.
Like a machine gun.
I can just bring out the cajon.
Or we could wear those.
Those things.
Those metralleta bullets.
Oh, yeah.
Like Emilio Zapata.
Oh, yeah.
Where do those things come?
Well, I have a bullet belt.
A washboard?
What?
I have a bullet belt, so I just have to make it longer.
Is that the bullet belt?
Is that the thing?
The bullet belt.
The one I wore in the video, yeah.
Is that a bandolero?
Bandolero?
Well, that's a bandolin.
That's like a guitar.
A little guitar.
Yes, and that's a very good instrument.
Well, whatever instrument it is, we'll make it work.
Don't worry.
And then we should wear those.
Like Emilio Zapata, again.
Those big hats.
That's not flamenco.
But hang them on the back.
That's not flamenco, but I'll wear it anyway.
Yeah, why not, you know?
Yeah.
Well, neither is the bullet belt.
Exactly.
I'll wear it.
And we'll wear botas.
You've dressed me up for a show already.
I'll be your costume designer.
Exactly.
You better watch out.
She's going to make a sign of contract.
Here's my vision.
Next thing you know, you're going to be performing.
Here's my vision.
I just want to give credit to Stella Ramirez, because she's the one who has dressed me up for the Bela Bestia shows and the video.
The fashionistas.
Oh, awesome.
She's doing an awesome job.
She's a fashion mistress.
As a fashion fan.
So if you guys ever checked out her video, you should give her a call.
She made her look good.
Yeah, check out Bela Bestia's video.
It's called Every Day is Like a Monday by Bela Bestia.
That's my life every day.
So if you go to YouTube and you punch in BoyleHeights.com, you'll find the video right away.
Really?
Mm-hmm.
I'm looking it up right now.
I'm sorry.
Excuse me.
BoyleHeightsRecords.com.
Oh.
I was going to say, Boyle Heights representing that way.
Damn.
That's right.
BoyleHeightsRecords.com.
That kind of makes me want to admit that I used to live in Boyle Heights, but not really.
I lived in East LA.
It's funny.
It's a battle between my family.
They say East LA, but I say I lived in City Terrace because where I lived at.
They're like, no.
You're East LA.
We're East LA.
It's the way it is.
All right.
East LA.
I remember doing that, but as you get older, it's like, meh.
Now when people ask, where do you live at?
I live at my Paramount Studios.
Okay.
That's all I need to know.
I say Hollywood.
Oh, where in Hollywood?
Paramount Studios.
Because it's hard to describe, really.
It is.
Paramount.
Right by Dr. Phil.
Yeah.
Right by Dr. Phil and the doctors.
Right across the street from Dr. Phil.
So don't forget to go to YouTube and then punch in BoyleHeightsRecords.com to check out the video, La Bestia.
Check out Facebook.
Of course.
We're all hypnotized because we're looking at it.
Okay.
Hold on.
You can find us on Facebook.
La Bestia.
Yeah.
There it is.
There it is.
So, caller, do you have any more things you want to tell Liz Bestia or Rudy?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Ask me anything.
Anything.
You can ask me anything you want.
Thank you, caller.
Is that my first joke?
I'd like to see your blending of your schizophrenic style between your dancing and your singing.
Well, I'm going to have to figure that one out.
I think blending those two styles, you'd really have a nice act.
Well, you know what?
Just for that, I'm going to have to figure that one out just for you.
Okay.
Okay?
Okay.
Thank you.
Well, thank you for calling in, caller, and enjoy the rest of your evening.
If anyone can pull it off.
Thank you.
Bye-bye.
Bye-bye.
Bye-bye.
Okay.
So, now we're here with La Bestia.
We have Rudy, La Bestia, and we have the boys from Infected.
And who are you guys?
Infected.
And what are your guys' names?
I'm Freddy.
I'm going to smoke right now.
Hey, Freddy, you might want to put the mic towards your mouth.
I'm Freddy.
You can move it, actually, if you want.
All right.
I'm Dave Katzen, and we have Kitty Anarchy right here.
Now, there's been a lot of things going on in current events.
You have what?
The Norway bombing.
The cop beating a man to death in Fullerton.
Our credit crisis.
We have all kinds of wonderful stuff happening, and yet you guys are still doing the punk rock thing.
You guys are still playing.
You guys are still managing your lives.
Isn't this really, like...
I mean, do you guys actually take time in your day and really go, like, does this really affect you guys at all?
You know?
Is the Infected affected?
Yeah, is the Infected infected with...
Is that what you're questioning?
Yeah, is the Infected infected with all these current events?
Is the Infected...
Infected.
Did you pump up their songs?
Does the outside world affect our lives as punk rock?
To me, no, personally.
I don't know shit to go on in my life to worry about.
Yeah.
Something I can't control.
I am.
I don't know.
I've always...
Mm-hmm, girlfriend.
I've always cared, you know?
I've always kind of found a way to say there's something wrong with the planet, and how do you transition that to music?
Unfortunately, I'm not really a great lyricist, but...
You know, I think...
I think with age, sometimes I lose that little bit of radicalness in me that I used to have in my youth, and, you know, life has become a little sterile, so all I really focus on now is family, and it's a real tragedy, because when I hear about things that happen, like the bum getting beat up, or the bombing in Norway, or...
Or even the rights...
Family's going hungry, you know?
Yeah.
It really does make me weep.
I really hate to hear that, but...
It is...
It...
It's...
It's...
It's...
It's...
It's...
It's...
It's...
It's...
It's...
It's...
It's...
It's...
It's...
It's...
It's...
It's...
It's...
If you have some sappy music dreams, play it now.
If you've been saving the violin.
So there's this man, or ocean waves, ocean waves.
There's a man walking along the beach, and he was tossing back muzzles or seashells or whatever.
He's tossing them back, tossing them back.
And some guy's all like, there's hundreds of those seashells on the beach.
There's hundreds of those muzzles.
You're not going to be able to save all of them.
And he's like, I know I didn't make a difference for all of these, and I know I can't, but I made a difference for this one.
And then he threw it.
And then he kept on going, and he kept on throwing them.
You know, it's funny.
Looking at me, most people don't realize this.
I just finished my master's program in education.
That's what I want to do.
I want to be a teacher, not for high school or junior high, but I want to do early elementary school.
I realize the pace sucks, and there's not a lot I can do.
But I know at that age, you can still infect a lot of these kids.
And they are sponges that soak up any kind of information you give them.
They are.
And that, I've always seen as my way to try to change it, you know?
I mean, if you were to do that, what do you say to the parents?
What would you say to the people who are going to say, oh, you're just trying to press your views of the world onto these young people?
That, I think, is absolutely the wrong way to...
I don't want to affect my politics with anybody else.
What I want to do is, I think the world would be better off if everybody really thought for themselves what was wrong with the planet.
And there's no shame.
I mean, how is that even a shameful...
I mean, people do talk shit about teachers and stuff.
And I just lost my credential.
Because there's no teaching jobs.
Anyways, that's a whole other rant on that end.
But what I was thinking about when you were saying that is like, okay, with that in mind, the caring careers don't pay a lot.
Like, what did I get into teaching?
Okay, you know the pace sucks.
You're literally...
I learned about that.
What did I go into...
I left teaching to do what?
Social work?
Because I wanted to do more.
And it's like, the pace sucks.
Like, that's what the budget cuts.
Always cut first.
Teaching, education, and...
I always found that funny.
Like, when it comes to cutting shit, they'll cut programs that are going to sustain us, such as education.
And they want to keep us ignorant.
That's a whole other thing, too.
Stuff like that.
They keep us...
They keep us ignorant on all those fronts.
They cut education.
They cut Medicare.
They call, like, the programs we're getting, like, SNAP and welfare and all that.
You know, they're programs that are just pretty much, you know, socialist programs because we have a black president and he's trying to, you know, and he's trying to push their socialist views on us.
It's like, no, it's not.
They're just programs.
You know, I don't see why cuts have to be happening.
Why can't we just raise taxes?
Well, no.
We need to increase the revenue.
We live in a society that started from day one.
We're a capitalist society.
People think and vote with their wallets.
Ultimately, that's what it comes down to.
And we don't have any money.
If you can eschew that system by teaching...
And that's always kind of been my idea, is if you can teach children to think for their own, you know, that humanity is valuable.
There's value in lives that pretty soon wealth in itself will just generate.
Well, the way we're headed, we're going to be headed in a way where, I see it as we're at the doorstep of the fall of the Roman Empire.
You know, our credit rating's gone.
We went from a triple A to a double A plus, which sounds mentally fucking retarded, number one.
It's like, seriously.
Is anyone else in that category?
Romania.
It's funny because, like, there's other countries that have better credit ratings than us, and one of those countries is called Isle of Man.
Do you know where that's at?
There's an Isle of Man?
There's an Isle of Man.
It's right there.
It's right there.
It's right there.
It's right there.
It's a tiny little island right by Britain, the Isle of Man, and they have a better credit rating than us.
You know, with that being said, you know, with the credit rating, it's, we're in this financial pickle, you know, and I really wish I could do something, but, you know, what can one person do, you know, realistically?
I mean, I can blog about it and, you know, and be an angry old man and throw cats at people out on the street, but...
Don't take my job.
But, you know...
But really, you know...
You're saying, like, oh, we should raise taxes, you know?
I used to have a career where I would make a shitload of money.
I mean, I would make thousands of dollars a week.
Yeah.
But I would work for my money.
I'd work anywhere from 85 to 120 hours a week.
Okay.
I'd literally work more than half a week.
And when you have a weekly paycheck of $2,500, $3,000, $3,500, and you're getting taxed half of it, you're like, what the fuck am I getting out of it?
Because when I lost my job, I got $7,000 back after five years of making over $100,000 a year.
Of unemployment benefits?
Yeah, I got some...
No, I got...
Yeah, my unemployment benefits were $7,000.
Wow.
I was making $100,000 a year.
You see, your taxes, my taxes, everybody else's taxes who works, they don't go where they say they're going to go.
They go to other places where, you know, to cover...
They're basically...
We're basically paying our debt to China still.
You know...
No matter what...
What we're going to do, we're...
We're paying our debts, but, you know, and then on top of that, I was prior service.
I spent eight years in the army.
And when my brothers, who are overseas, and they literally just came back months ago, are over in a combat zone, and their pay gets taken away, that's bullshit, you know?
Of course we're going to go down when our military doesn't want to fight for us anymore.
And that brings up an interesting point.
If they're going to cut soldiers' pay...
We get paid dick, period.
You know?
Yeah, you guys...
But it's non-tax, right?
Yeah, yeah, it's non-tax.
Yeah, because when I was in the military, I was non-taxed.
Overseas, it's non-tax.
We're taxed when we're in the States.
Really?
They didn't tax my check.
Yeah, we get taxed.
I got 595 a month, and that's all they gave me to live because I was living with people, with mandatory living.
We get taxed over there.
If we're not in a combat zone, we get taxed in the States.
Oh.
Well, those...
If you guys have...
If soldiers have to...
Why do soldiers have to take a coat?
Why can't people in Congress...
Take a coat?
Why can't corporations take a cut?
Well, that's the issue.
That's why...
You know, it...
Soldiers overseas fighting for what?
I mean, you have people in Afghanistan still fighting for what?
For who?
For Osama bin Laden?
Okay, that nigga's dead.
Sorry, he's dead.
I'm not going to talk about what we're doing over there and my point of view on that.
It's just we're there.
We're away from our families.
For a year at a time, we get two weeks off, and then you're going to cut my pay?
And it's hard enough to live as it is, especially being a private to, you know, an E-1 to an E-4.
Yeah.
And, you know, and then you want to take our money on top of that because we're going to cut back on the military.
Well, send me home.
We'll see what happens.
Sometimes you've got to wonder if those people who have a vested interest in our country, because really who controls everything are banks.
I mean, I know very little about economics, but what I do know is banks control everything.
And there's no allegiance.
There's no nationalism.
There's no patriotism when it comes to banks.
And pretty much the highest bidder wins.
And...
And...
So ultimately, if our society crumbles and someone else takes us over, or if we flourish, it doesn't matter.
I don't think China's going to want us.
It doesn't.
It doesn't.
Even though they are our biggest creditor, they're not going to want us.
They're not going to want...
Because they can just, you know, they can just come over here and take over.
Yeah.
What are we going to do, you know?
Well, it's the same thing.
It's like anything else.
It's resources, right?
That's what imperialism is.
You take over for resources.
But you have something like, like right when Nick, when Nick's in, he opened the gates to China, right?
It was the idea of, if everybody needs something from the U.
S., what we manufacture, right?
If every Chinese person gets a toothbrush, I mean, that's billions of dollars.
But it turned around to be the other way.
They export it.
Banks, corporations, they send the jobs elsewhere because it's cheaper.
That's still a big thing is outsourcing.
And patriotism, flat out, what we have is a false sense of patriotism.
We have the Bible and we have a bunch of empty promises and words.
Yeah.
You know, it's kind of funny when Obama was running for president.
I kind of believed for a minute because he did sell me.
He did sell me pretty well.
And then I've come to realize, you know, I should have just, like, I mean, because I vote no matter what.
No matter how stupid the election is, even if it's for county commissioner, I'll still vote, right?
You know why?
Because it's my right and I'll do it.
I'd rather vote for state issues than for the president, you know?
Well, unfortunately, I voted for Obama.
And, you know, I think his heart was in the right place.
But unfortunately, in the United States, he's still the nigger.
That's just it.
He's a black man cleaning up a white man's mess.
But would it be any different with whoever else was an officer now?
No, but he's an easy scapegoat.
Oh, yeah.
He's an easy scapegoat.
Thank you.
He's totally going to be an easy scapegoat.
It's funny.
If the Republicans get their way, I mean, just if I'm surprised that the Republicans haven't, they're going to make the Tea Party their scapegoat when they lose big time.
Next year.
You know, they're going to be, oh, it's the Tea Party because they voted for these crazy people, you know, like Michelle Bachman and Rick Perry and all these other fucking dumbasses from wherever.
Like, they voted these people in.
They're the ones who are holding up for our debt.
It's funny how I never understood this about Democrats.
And I always understood this about Republicans.
You can tell if somebody is a Republican or a Democrat.
A Republican's a fucking bully.
They'll hold their breath until they turn blue or they will beat your ass until they get their way.
Republicans?
I mean, Democrats?
Or pussies?
They're all the same.
They're the exact opposite.
They're like, here, just don't hunt me, please.
Don't hunt me.
You know?
You know, given that, why isn't there a freaking third option of all?
There used to be a third option.
All the third parties.
Have you seen the parliamentary system in Great Britain?
They have different parties.
They have different factions of the party in Parliament.
It's not a two-party system.
It is a multi-party system.
There used to be a time when this used to be a multi-party system.
I remember back when I was growing up, when Ross Perot was running for president.
Yeah, he was a joke, but he was still a third option.
And even then, there was always a third option for...
A serious third option.
A serious third option.
Not somebody who was going to...
Not Ralph...
Ralph Nader was a serious option back in the early 80s.
Now, I wouldn't vote for that guy because he's...
We're having a Ron Paul.
I want that guy.
Ron Paul?
We're having a Ross Perot.
Where is he at?
Ron Paul is...
Ross Perot retired.
I think he...
Retired this run.
He's still alive.
Last time I saw him, he had a picture with Alice Cooper hanging.
He was hanging out with Alice Cooper.
That's why...
That's why I would...
Hanging Alice Cooper?
Hanging out.
Hanging out with Alice Cooper.
I heard Alice Cooper's pretty smart.
Ron Paul, he's a libertarian under the Republican Party, isn't he?
I don't really...
Ron Paul, I'm a libertarian, man.
See, that's...
Libertarians, you know, you guys are cool, but you guys are just...
You guys are Republicans in libertarian clothing because you guys' views are...
You guys are about small government.
I'm sorry, there's no such thing as small government.
You want small government?
That's what cities are for.
That's what towns are for.
That's what cities are for.
Big government, unfortunately, is the way it is.
It's a fucked up system and it really needs to be worked at.
We seriously need to get libertarians up in Congress.
We need Green Party members up in Congress.
We need independ...
You know, real independents up there to give a real voice.
To me, it doesn't feel like we get a real voice in what goes on in Washington.
We don't have a real voice.
We don't have a real voice here in California.
As a social worker...
As a Federal Reserve...
I'm sorry.
As a social worker, you can attest to this.
You have...
You have...
You have rules from federal government and you have rules from state government.
And county.
Then you have to abide by and county and city.
When you have that many people putting in rules together...
Everything kind of gets mishmashed.
I'm on stress leave.
Everything gets mishmashed and there's too many rules to follow.
You follow one rule, you break another.
And ultimately, everything gets drowned out and bogged down in bureaucracy.
And when that happens, everything goes to pot.
And ultimately, what it should come down...
But it's so sad that they would risk something as social services that serve people as...
Like, that they would allow that system to get fucked up.
It's like, why not fuck up something stupid that doesn't matter?
And why are we still spending lots of millions and billions of dollars into space?
Well...
Oh, no.
Can someone please...
That has a purpose because we're going to need somewhere to go when this planet eventually is going to die.
No, it's just an ego thing.
Let's put it this way.
How much money...
It's another way to make money.
How much money does social work...
Too much money. ...actually put back in...
More than I get paid? ...to the elite?
How much does it put into the elite?
You know what I mean?
To the elite classes.
They don't get anything out of it.
Yeah, they don't get anything out of it at all.
So fuck it.
Cut it.
Yeah, I mean...
Oh, I see what you're saying.
Yeah, money.
So, of course.
Common sense takes a backseat to the wallet.
Yes.
And it...
Common sense takes a...
I need to get that tattooed on myself or something.
That's actually a pretty good book.
That's for real, dude.
I'm going to write that shit down, man.
I got an inspiration for Magnum for you.
He was right.
He gets chatty when he gets drunk.
Once that model was over, he was going to get chatty and I'm glad he got chatty.
All right.
Cool.
All right.
Cool.
I'm Rodney Bingham.
You're listening to World Famous K-Rock.
Yeah.
I was watching The Runaways this past weekend.
You know what?
I don't know if you guys ever seen the movie The Runaways.
Yeah, we've seen it.
I didn't really like it.
I like the documentary a lot better.
I didn't like it.
The Code of Vanity.
No, hey, don't say nothing bad about The Code of Vanity.
She wasn't drunk enough.
Yeah.
The Code of Vanity is a good actress.
She just wasn't drunk enough.
She should stick back to being six-year-old and screaming.
I got to admit, the casting for Joan Jett, man.
Oh, and then Kristen Stewart, dude.
She's like the worst actress in the fucking world.
But she looked like her.
I got to admit.
Yeah, you're on Bumble Bum It.
Who is this?
Her lesbianism was okay.
This is Laura from Feline Productions.
La Bestia is one of my favorite bands.
All right.
Hey, Laura from Feline Productions.

Yeah.
You know, you throw some good shows.
You threw that Sin 34 show not too long ago, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.

No doubt.
Thank you, Laura.
That was an interesting...
Guaranteed to be entertained.
Yes.
You will not regret it.
I'm just curious.
Thank you, Laura.
Nobody entertains like Beast.
Yes.
I didn't hear about that.
Nobody.
Hey, Laura, we want to get paid more.

Huh?
Never mind.
I can hear.
I'm listening.
I'm trying to listen and not listen at the same time.
Oh.
You hear it every day on the radio.
Turn it down, honey.
Don't listen to yourself while you talk.
I can turn it down unless they're playing Harvey Muggles.
I was going to say that.
Yeah.
I heard that you should never turn up the radio when you're actually on the phone with the radio station, right?
No, you're not supposed to.
Okay, then turn it down then.
Let's go amateur.
When you hang up, ask them to blow you up.
Okay.
Blow me up, Tom.
Hey, blow me up, Tom.
Yeah.
But I just want to say hi to La Bestia, the crew, and tell you guys that I'm a big fan and tell everybody out there to go to their shows, buy their records, and their shirts, and support La Bestia because if you haven't seen them yet, you're really missing out.
That's right.
Thank you, Laura.
Actually, I want to let everyone know that Laura is correct 100% on that last statement, okay?
Thank you.
Okay.
Yeah, buy the stuff.
Buy my shit.

Wow, they are some sexy young ladies.

They do good surf rock.
They rock.
They rock it pretty well.
That's really cool.
I like surf rock.
Okay, so we're going to get into a music break, but before we do, we're going to let the bestia talk about her songs because the next block is a la bestia block.
The next song is called I Believe Every Day is Like a Monday.
Yes.
Okay, and then not only can you listen to it here right now, but right after you listen to that song, actually after the show, I want you to go to YouTube and then punch in BoyleHeightsRecords.com so you can actually look at the video, okay?

Because you guys have obviously Been in different bands Yeah With Infected also Yeah You guys Is it When you're in a studio Is it a lot Was it a lot different experience When you guys did this demo Than it was In other studio sessions before?
It sure was Because he made us work More than we usually are Usually than I'm used to I don't know about Rudy but It was a more focused approach You know, before it was like You have all these band members And some of the band members Don't really know What they're talking about And so everyone's throwing All the Everyone wants to produce Right And so you have a disaster Where everyone's, you know And then It's really difficult And then playing the tracks You guys did We'd either do like You know, four or five takes At the most Alright, that sounds good Alright, let's do it Yeah, well, you know But this guy It was more focused It was like Good songs Good recordings Good performances And then we formed the band after You know Wow Yeah So like So So So So La Bestia After You were living in Spain For a while, weren't you?

Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
No.
Okay, anyways, the drummer from the Waywards, he was our drummer, right?
Okay.
So we were supposed to play a show at the Showcase with UK subs.
We were the band that was supposed to be on right before them.
Our drummer never showed up.
What?
It just so happens a fill-in drummer from a band called Eight Bucks Experiment was on.
Uh-huh.
Was there, and we asked, can we use your drums?
Now, if you know Eight Bucks Experiment, and you saw that movie, SLC Punk?
Yeah, I remember.
Okay, remember the house band that was playing that they got in a fight with?
Yeah.
That's Eight Bucks Experiment.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
So we asked, can we use your drums?
And they said no.
Of course not.
And I said, well, we promise to take care of them.
We'll pay you if we break anything.
Can you please let it in?
They said no.
We had a fill-in drummer.
There was a fill-in drummer.
Oh, okay.
So we just needed the equipment.
We needed the equipment.
So they said no.
Oops.
So at the end, so we never got to play.
Uh-huh.
Because of that?
Because of that.
So at the end of the show, we're sitting in the back behind the showcase.
And if anyone's ever been to the showcase, you know, like a little parking lot, it was virtually empty minus the bands.
Yeah.
And a few drunks that were out there.
Yeah, because you had to park in the front because it was in a shopping center.
Yeah.
Next to like a big lot.
Yeah. 99 Cent Store.
Yeah, 99 Cent Store.
So that band came out, Eight Bucks Experiment, and we're sitting there, and we're kind of sulking and a little pissed, you know?
Of course.
And he came out, and he gave us the finger.
So, of course, I threw my bottle at him.
Oh.
Oh.
Well, all of a sudden, a big fight broke out.
And unfortunately, I didn't know this at the time.
And I feel bad because UK Subs is one of those bands that just always did it right.
They're not my favorite band, but they don't have a single song I don't like.
They're just a good band.
Yeah.
Unfortunately, Charlie tried to break it up, and he jumps on my friend's back.
I didn't know this.
Oh.
Da-da-da!
And I never got the chance to do this until now.
Charlie Harper, I'm sorry for kicking you so many times.
Oh.
I really am.
And it was a bad situation.
It was a bad...
You're about to get in a fight with her right here.
No, it was a bad situation.
Oh, my God.
It was a bad situation.
It was a really bad situation.
You can't even look you in the eye.
No, no.
It was bad.
I had no idea who it was until after the whole situation broke up.
Who told you?
And what did they say?
The bouncer actually told me when they were pulling me off of him.
And I felt bad.
He's not that young.
No.
Well, it's dark back there.
I was like 20.
I was like 20.
I didn't know.
And it was hot.
Ding, ding.
Ding, nigga.
You got to be careful.
Try him as an adult.
What if he has back problems?
It would be more like jaw problems.
What I heard was that he wasn't going to play anymore because he got beat up at the back of the showcase.
Oh, man.
It was a really bad situation.
I like him anyway.
It's okay.
No, no, no.
I still...
I really love the UK subs.
I do.
They are just a really great band.
And I feel sorry that had to happen.
So right now, we just lost fans or we gained fans?
No, no, no.
This is my chance to pull on you.
You did say you lost fans.
You like them, right?
No, I love the UK subs.
So you might keep your fans.
They've never put out...
I can honestly say they're one of the very few bands, even though they're not my favorite, they're one of the very few bands that's never put out a bad song.
They just don't have a bad song.
They are a good band.
I like them.
They're on my top 20.
Like Charlie Harper just has this way of...
I'm not going to tell you what number, but they're on my top 20. ...of having his melodies just work with those guitar riffs.
He just does.
And that guy, what?
He's like fucking 325 years old?
Yes.
And he sounds like he's 18.
Man, that guy has energy for days.
And it's unfortunate to happen.
It was nothing against the UK subs.
It was nothing against Charlie.
It was just...
A misunderstanding.
It was one of those things that it was wrong place, wrong time.
And when your friends and you are fighting and you're stupid and you're aggressive and hormones are pumped through you, someone grabs your friend from behind.
It was a victim of circumstance.
And unfortunately, it was 100% my fault.
I started the fight and it ended in a horrible way.
But in all fairness...
In all fairness, I got some stitches and everything I got, I deserved.
The thing is, if you try to break up a fight, you're probably going to get punched.
So if you're going to break up a fight, you better hope you know the guy that's going to beat up.
I saw them in Berkeley Square back in 95, 94.
They were great.
No, no.
I've seen them several times.
And I know I...
Because everyone's a hippie in Berkeley.
I still feel a little guilty about that whole situation.
I never had a chance to apologize formally.
I will say this about the UK.
My favorite song from them is Postcards from L.
A.
Oh, really?
My favorite song is Limo Life.
Oh, man.
My song is Motivator.
Oh, damn.
I love that.
I'm a sap for love songs.
Are we having a UK subs connection?
I think we are.
I think we are.
Let me cry.
Oh, this is great.
It was funny because it was bad.
I almost stopped listening to English music because of Crass.
Because when I first got into Crass, I was like, all right, that's cool.
Rudy nods, yes.
You know, Stations of the Crass was pretty good.
And then, like, you know, Penis Enemy was good.
But then it just got really fucking crazy.
I was just like, whoa.
It got kind of weird?
It just got like, yeah, it just got weird.
I was just like, I don't know if I want to listen to any more UK stuff.
Because the sub humans just wasn't doing it for me anymore, too.
They were going on a weird tangent, too.
I'm sorry.
Crass.
They came back.
They came back.
They came back.
Thank God.
In Crass, there was never anything good about Crass.
Did anybody go to that thing that he did?
Oh, when he was doing the Strat for Mercenaries?
No, he was in Crass.
He did something at, God, where?
Was that place on West 3rd Street?
That venue?
Yeah, he was.
Fenders?
No.
No, no.
It was just recently.
It was, I think it was at the Bootleg Theater.
It was.
Oh, was it?
Okay.
It was Steve Ignorant as Crass.
He was doing Crass songs.
Just Steve Ignorant.
Nobody else was Crass.
Oh, he did something in Pomona.
Fox.
Yeah, the Fox Theater.
I've been out of the loop.
Oh, my God.
And I didn't go to that show.
I wasn't, you know.
I like going to, like, to relive some old punk bands.
Like, when I saw Sin 34, I was like, I've never seen him before.
I might as well see him now, you know.
I want to see him before she dies.
Because, you know, I have a few regrets.
My biggest regret is never seeing Johnny Cash play.
Oh, wow.
I think that's my regret, too.
I had the opportunity to see him, and I never saw him.
And then he passed on.
What?
You had the opportunity?
You passed it on?
Johnny Cash play.
What's the matter with you?
Oh, that's just silly.
You can't hate Johnny Cash.
No, no.
I don't hate Johnny Cash.
I don't understand if you don't love him.
No, no.
I don't hate Johnny Cash.
I love him.
That's my biggest regret is never seeing him play live.
He loves him, but he just never went.
Yeah.
Like, I've seen Jerry Lee Lewis play.
I've seen Chuck Berry play.
I, you know, I never seen Bo Diddley play, and he passed away.
I'm sorry.
Is anyone going to the Fuck Yeah Fest?
I never heard of it.
Is Ben Ridgeland really playing?
Yeah, Ben Ridgeland.
The Descendants are playing.
The Fuck Yeah playing.
Oh, the Descendants are playing.
I'll play.
Last time I saw Descendants was about 14 years ago.
I saw the Descendants ticket for Bunker Up Bowling.
I think I saw them in an old venue called Toe Jams years ago.
Toe Jams, remember?
Like, it was by the bay.
Toe Jams venue.
Does anybody?
Does anybody remember Toe Jams venue?
I remember Hong Kong Cafe.
Yeah, the Hong Kong Cafe.
I remember the Natural Fudge.
The Natural Fudge.
The Natural Fudge.
The Natural Fudge.
The Anti Club.
The Anti Club.
I hated the Anti Club.
Media Blitz played there.
Everyone hated it, but everyone went.
Remember Bollocks?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, Bollocks.
Media Blitz played there.
Can I say this?
Okay, wait, wait.
I'm sorry.
Freaking South Central.
I hope I don't get mugged.
You're called The Beast, right?
Yes.
I'm sorry.
I used to have a mohawk.
I still am.
I've never heard of you before.
I remember.
Remember Media Blitz?
The only thing I ever knew about Media Blitz was the old singer.
I think his name was Tony, right?
Tony, yeah.
He's still around.
Yeah, that was the only time I saw Media Blitz, and it was at backyard parties in La Puente, La Nueva Ronda, or East LA.
Oh, yeah.
Go Blitz.
I missed that guy.
I wasn't in the band before then.
The Bollocks, I think I went to go see you guys play with, was it The Business or something you guys played with?
I don't remember who we played with, but I remember that venue.
This was like 15 years ago.
The owner was this English guy, right?
This English guy.
Yeah, there was a big English.
You guys did that?
He was like, can you guys play again next week?
I go, I think so.
Let me ask Tony.
It was an old liquor store that he converted into.
I have two Media Blitz recordings, but nothing with you.
Oh, well.
You need to find it.
I have one with her.
I have one with her on it.
Well, you're missing out then.
Just kidding.
My favorite song is The Butcher of Brentwood.
The Butcher of Brentwood.
When they said there was a female singer, I was like, what the hell are you talking about?
Yeah, actually, some of the songs that Media Blitz covered are actually, The Bollocks.
The Undertaker songs.
Undertaker.
I remember them.
Which Tony wasn't that bad.
I remember playing with The Undertaker.
With Tracy Lee and all the Undertaker guys.
Undertaker from East LA, right?
Oh, yeah.
I played with The Undertaker.
They're good.
Mr. T.
Bull.
They're good. 13 years, 12 years ago.
Wow.
Yeah. 12 years ago.
Funny story about Club Bullocks.
I think you guys didn't even play that night.
One of the best shows that was ever there was a show with Let Me Scream in the Fixtures.
I don't know if you guys were familiar.
At Mr. T's?
No, at Club Bullocks.
Oh, I thought you were talking about The Fet.
Was that show?
The show we went to?
Probably.
Where I stepped in shit.
Yeah, someone turded.
You know, there's bums everywhere.
Yeah.
I stepped in shit.
Didn't know it.
Drugged it in my mom's van because I was 14.
Uh-huh.
The next thing, my mom was like slapping my ass up in the morning.
What?
Get shit out of my ass!
I would be more concerned why your mom didn't stand up to you taking the car at 14 than slapping them.
Oh, you drove.
Didn't have me.
Oh, you drove.
I love The Fixtures, man.
Those are one of those bands that were just so fucking awesome, but nobody really knew.
They were good.
And you know what?
The drummer.
Oh, Kevin?
Kevin.
I was supposed to go to Europe with him.
He sounds like Jello.
I will tell you.
Oh, yeah.
How come he didn't get to sing for Ken and Kenneby's when they had the reunion?
That didn't even make sense.
I don't like writing for him.
I will tell you this about Kevin from The Fixtures.
He's a good guy.
I have the pleasure of hanging out with him a couple times.
I played with him when I was in Media Blitz.
But he is a fucking, I think he's schizo because.
Dang, putting on blast.
No, one time we were having a good discussion because at Club Bullocks, that's what I put on.
I played with him.
And we were talking about something.
And maybe two shows later, I said, hey, what's up?
He's like, oh, he remembered me.
And I started talking about what we were talking about last.
When I saw him, I was like, what are you talking about?
What are you talking about?
Are you fucking with me or no?
But I think he was a little schizo, but he was a talented musician.
I think the best combo there was was when it was him, Heidi, and I forgot which in the original guitar.
One of the original guitars.
Yeah, Jason.
I think it was Jason.
That was the best trio right there with the fixtures.
I was 15 years old.
I became friends with Kevin.
This is when I first heard of the fixtures.
And he's like, hey, Heidi can't go on tour with us to Europe.
Would you like to go?
And I'm like, fuck yeah, I do.
I went home to my mommy.
Mommy, mommy, mommy.
I want to go on tour with the fixtures to Europe for a month.
She's like, no.
How old were you? 15.
She's like, you're in high school.
It's during the school year.
And you're 15.
And that was.
That was the reason I graduated high school a year later.
And nothing became of that.
Congrats.
Wow.
No, I mean, I'm still a laborer.
Oh, okay.
Nothing became of it.
But I mean, that was like, that was the reason I, I mean, I wanted to be a musician, you know?
And that was the reason, like, I had the opportunity and my mom fucked it up.
I hope you're listening.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Thanks a lot, mom.
Mom, if you're listening, thank you for missing out your boy.
He's really sorry.
He's grown up and he's mature now.
All right, now.
I just want to go to Europe.
Okay.
I've been there.
So you guys.
Are you guys infected in La Bestia?
Are you guys playing anytime soon?
What's going on with you guys?
What do you guys get to?
Before we leave, can we?
Yeah.
I know.
Because I'm really hungry.
Sorry.
Quite all right.
I want some birria.
Have some birria.
Anyways.
So we're playing.

Something like that.
I like your tranny voice.
It's awesome.
Thank you.
I actually went to CSB School of Broadcasting.
That was a long time ago.
I did one semester at Mount SAC for broadcasting and nothing became of it.
Yeah.
I can't remember a thing.
It was a waste of money.
Go ahead.
Did you do your flamenco classes on Huntington Drive?
Because I know there's a school right there.
Because a girl I used to date was going to the school right there.
No, but I'm with an organization called, a non-profit organization called Tierra Verde.
Tierra Verde.
Tierra Verde.
Tierra Verde. and we're going to be having kids classes starting September.
I was going to ask you, and thank you for reminding me.
Thank you.
It was absolutely it.
Thank you.
No, no, I tried to go to the cinema.
No, no, because that's why I go to La Luna Negra a lot.
Because don't you offer classes, like Pilates classes also?
I offer Pilates, Flamenco, Modern Dance, Hip Hop, and we just finished the summer camp program.
La Vista doing Hip Hop.
Awesome.
At the Art Center?
At Tierra Blanca Art Center, exactly.
You can find them on Facebook, and we just finished the summer camp program, and we're going to continue the program at, I believe, either Plaza de la Raza, but you can also go to tierrablancaartcenter.org and check out all the information there.
And the founder of the organization's name is Blanca Soto.
She's amazing.
She's an actor.
She's an activist.
She's a dancer.
She's a performer.
She's an amazing person.
And so she got this nonprofit organization together 10 years ago, and now she's brought me along and other artists to teach the classes, like in dance, music, art.
And so don't miss it.
If you want your children to grow up to be smarter than you, then bring them to Tierra Blanca Art Center.
Okay?
You can find them on Facebook.
And if you don't, you're a horrible fucking parent.
That's right.
I said it.
I said it.
Well, thank you, La Vista, for coming in.
Thank you, Rudy.
Thank you so much.
You guys are awesome.
Thank you.
Nice meeting you, Infected.
You guys are awesome.
Thank you.
All right, so we're going to get into this block of Infected songs.
So you guys want to talk about the first song real quick before we get into it?
What's next?
Lodi pretty much was about just, me and my drummer, actually, our old drummer, this guy Mick, he was like a 45-year-old.
Hey, bro.
We like old drummers.
You can describe it after the block, but I just want to say it's a rockin' tune.
This is Verbal Vomit.
There you go.
You said you wanted to describe it.
I know.
Make up your mind, dude.
We're like 17, 18, 19, 20, 21.
It was written 14 years ago.
It's about those hard lives that are out there.
Written 14 years ago.
All right, Verbal Vomit.
Let's get into it.
Let's get into it.
Let's get into it.
Let's get into it.
Let's get into it.
Let's get into it.
Let's get into it.
Let's get into it.
Let's get into it.
Let's get into it.
Let's get into it.
Let's get into it.
Let's get into it.
Let's get into it.
Was that better?
Living a home where there is no love Sitting in a room where we start our drudge Tears in our eyes cause dad's not here Haven't seen him in 15 years Mom don't care if I live or die She just had a wish Junkie's not looking for a high With hurt in my heart and rage in the brain Dad's damned up from this life of pain We're dangerous, we're dangerous I'm one of children with wasted lives We're dangerous, we're dangerous So I leave this home in the dead of night Looking to destroy this world of mine With hate in my eyes and fuel in my veins Gotta make this world feel all my pain Cause you don't care if I live or die I'm just another eyesore and waste of a lot Still hurt in this heart and rage in the brain Dad's damned up from this life of pain We're dangerous, we're dangerous I'm one of children with We're dangerous, we're dangerous We're dangerous, we're dangerous We're dangerous We're dangerous We're dangerous We're dangerous We're dangerous We're dangerous We're dangerous We're dangerous We're dangerous We're dangerous We're dangerous We're dangerous We're dangerous Oh yeah, is Jesus my friend?
Is Jesus your friend, Katie?
By Sunseed.
Yes, by Sunseed.
Jesus is my friend.
Jesus is a friend of mine.
Oh, you suck.
Oh, cute.
What's happening?
You guys are fighting over beer?
We're fighting over the last beer.
You guys can share.
You guys are brothers.
He's not heavy.
He's my brother.
Look at you quoting 60 songs.
And listen to the song, too.
Jesus is your friend, man.
I'm consolidating my swill.
There you go.
Do it.
Yeah, make it seem like it's more.
That's right.
Wow, so that was good.
That was awesome.
I'm glad they came in.
Man, that girl is pretty.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
Did you see her on Ryan?
You should see.
Her video?
You have to see her live show.
I'm trying to watch it, but my phone sucks.
First of all, I'm engaged.
Don't try to get me in trouble.
No, no, no.
I just said she was pretty.
I'm not talking about stalking her.
No, no.
You should know.
Your wife's going to be home with the pin roller.
What is that thing called?
The rolling pin?
The rolling pin right there?
What you been, Freddy?
No, seriously.
You should really check out this band because she, like, she, like, not a lot of people are animated in shows.
Usually you get people who just stand there.
Nah, man.
She puts the whole fucking.
She puts everything into it.
She has a lot of energy.
She uses a lot of energy in that.
Even just sitting here and being chill, she oozes personality and stuff.
Yeah.
Here's the thing that's kind of rare about actually female singers, and I think it's always the difference between who's going to be big and who's going to be small time.
It's sex appeal.
And for somebody who's, like, a little older, she still has it.
She has, like, her youth.
You can see.
A little bit older.
She looks better than you.
I know she does.
No, that's what I'm saying.
She just has that personality and exuberance, you know?
She's a package.
All right.
So these songs we just did.
We did what?
Lodi.
I hate your face.
What is Lodi about?
Lodi.
Fuck the household.
No, no, no, no, no.
That was.
That was.
I hate your face.
No, no.
Lodi.
Me and my drummer, we were sitting in the garage, and I got drunk.
And he's like, if you keep drinking, you're going to end up where I am.
So we just wrote lyrics to, you know, starting off young, just getting wasted.
And we all know, man.
I mean.
I still see it, you know?
If that's where your life is going, that's what takes it.
That's where you kind of get the end of it.
I know a couple of people who are Lodis.
Oh, that's what a Lodi is?
Once you can end up, yeah.
People get stoned and drunk.
I've seen some Lodis. 31 years old, living at my house.
I have some Lodi friends.
With your wife and your kid.
I know some people who have it on their own.
That's all they do is Lodi all day.
They just work and then whatever they get.
Alcohol's the worst drug out there, man.
I mean, there's heroin.
There's fucking crack.
There's coke.
There's this shit.
Honestly.
How dare you talk about it?
I love being drunk.
Being drunk is my favorite thing in the world.
He's drunk right now, people.
Probably.
No, but honestly.
When it really comes down to it, alcohol is the worst thing.
You can tell because he's preachy.
You see, that used to be me.
I used to have that mentality.
Now, I enjoy getting buzzed, but I enjoy more the taste of what I'm drinking.
Nah.
I agree.
I'm a whiskey guy.
That tastes like shit.
Okay, please, for the love of God, don't say what I think.
I think you're going to say.
I hope you're playing it wrong.
What's your favorite whiskey?
My favorite absolute whiskey will be a scotch whiskey, and it's Oban. 24 a year, about $200 a bottle.
Awesome.
Now, if you're going to go for cheap shit, what do I like?
Kessler.
Okay, that's good.
If you're going to say Jack Daniels, I piss on you 20 bucks for a bottle.
There you go.
That's overrated whiskey right there.
Dave, I'll just show you how much I love whiskey.
I got this shitty tattoo for it.
And it says, hi.
It says whiskey?
You can't really tell.
It looks like his key.
It has whiskey on it?
It looks like his key.
His key.
Oh, so you were in love with it?
He does love whiskey.
What are the strike marks?
I don't know.
How many whiskeys do you like?
I guess.
I have no idea.
It was a bad tattoo.
See, I'm a tequila man myself.
That's my number two.
I'll take my belt off and hit you with a buckle.
Nah, I don't get vitals.
I don't get drunk.
Give me a tequila and it's a bad day.
I enjoy it.
It's delicious.
It's a good drink.
I don't drink Guervo.
What's your tequila choice?
My tequila choice right now would have to be...
Casadores.
It would have to be Casadores.
Oh, my God.
I love Casadores.
But there's another one that my dad brings from Mexico.
I don't know what it's called.
Describe the bottle.
What does it look like?
It looks like a Casadores bottle.
Square.
No, it's a round bottle.
The logo is like...
You know they have that deer logo?
Instead of a...
Oh, deer?
They use a goat.
They use a goat head as their logo.
And it's a pretty good tequila.
It's a pretty good tasting one.
You know who makes a good tequila for a cheap tequila?
Trader Joe's.
Trader Joe's?
Their wannabe patron.
Their wannabe patron, huh?
I'm gonna fuck some shit up.
All right, first of all, patron is never gonna be a good tequila.
I'm sorry.
It's palatable.
If you can drink it and it tastes like water, that's not tequila.
Tequila should taste like tequila.
What's your favorite tequila, then?
Yes.
Tequila should taste like tequila.
Yes.
Tequila.
Coralejo is good.
I like Coralejo for a reasonably priced tequila.
No, Cazadores.
I'm sorry.
Cazadores is pretty decent.
My friend just bought me for my birthday a couple weeks ago a bottle of Añejo.
Mm-hmm.
Fantastic tequila.
I mean, it's good for reasonably priced.
Now, if you want a really good tequila, I gotta say it, and I hate saying it, but it is Jose Cuervo, Oh.
No, the Reserva.
The family reserve.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
And granted, it's like 200 bucks a bottle again, but I used to work at this tequila bar in Pasadena.
Uh-huh.
Man, that was a good freaking tequila.
It's black as midnight.
It looks like Guinness when you pour it into the shot glass.
Oh, wow.
It is so good.
You're like the Muskell kind of guy.
Well, Muskell tastes different.
It tastes like, what's that stuff they put in your...
It's just a plastic that it's in that it clashes off of.
What's that local anesthetic the dentist put in your mouth?
Novocaine?
Novocaine?
That's what it tastes like.
Novocaine to me.
Wow.
What tastes like Novocaine?
Mezcal.
Mezcal.
When you get that...
Mezcaline?
No, that rojo.
What's that rojo stuff?
Gusano rojo?
Yeah.
It tastes like Novocaine to me.
Oh, okay.
It's like numbing.
Yeah.
It's kind of...
It's just...
It has that weird acid, bitter taste to it.
It's like when you get a shot from the dentist.
Oh.
But tequila, yeah.
Cortalejo, you can't really go wrong with that.
It's pretty reasonably priced, and that is tequila you can taste.
Okay.
Well, all right.
Whatever.
Fine.
You like that.
That's great.
You're a true tequila drinker.
I like drinking tequila that's not so crazy, you know?
Like, I like a good silver.
If it hits me too hard, man, I'm going to puke.
I don't care what it is.
But I do enjoy...
I like to drink to drink.
I don't like to drink to get all drunk like I used to.
There's no point in drinking if you're not going to get drunk.
I don't know.
You're going to get drunk.
I don't know.
It just depends how drunk you want to get.
I like to get a little tipsy, you know?
No, I want to get drunk.
No, you're just acting like...
I'm with you.
Gabe, that's why I stopped drinking because if I'm going to drink, I want to get drunk and I didn't want to keep getting drunk.
No, you're going to get drunk.
There's no point.
And if it's Friday, I have to beat my wife to it.
And if I don't, I just can't drink.
You have to beat your wife to it.
Yeah, because she can beat the...
She'll get drunk before I even fucking blink.
She's lightweight.
You got to act accordingly.
Depending on social structures...
Look, I'm not going to go to the president's ball and get blitzed.
Yeah.
Not that I would ever go to the president's ball.
I would never go to the president's ball.
He's like Homer.
He's like Homer.
That's how you know they're brothers.
I love music, but I hate going to shows sober.
I hate going to a concert being sober.
Have you tried it?
Yeah, I did on Sunday.
I saw The Adolescence.
And I was sober.
Oh, how was that show?
I don't want to talk...
I liked them.
Steve Soto.
Look, you can be honest.
Who cares?
No one's listening.
Yeah.
No, I liked it.
I was sober, so I was angry.
Because I had to go to work at 5 in the morning.
You see, to be honest with you, I've never seen...
I didn't like the fact that they played all their new shit.
I don't watch Adolescence to play their new album.
I watch Adolescence to play their old shit.
Well, then you're not really a fan.
With the blue album?
But again, I didn't have to pay, so I guess I can't...
Yeah, because it was at the sidebar, wasn't it?
It was at the sidebar, so it was free.
What's your favorite album?
The blue album?
Mm-hmm.
I liked their early stuff, and that's pretty much it.
It's too preachy for me, the new shit.
Like Rudy was mentioning to me social distortion.
And I guess you guys like them, too.
I like social distortion.
Personally, I don't like Mike Ness.
Personally, with me, I just don't like the whole band, period.
How?
I just...
To me, they just should have gave up after Mommy's Little Monster.
Dude, Sex, Drugs, and Rock and Roll?
No.
Fucking awesome album, dude.
You know, I gave them a chance, you know, and I was really...
And I had their albums.
I bought them.
I'm not going to lie.
You know, I bought their albums.
I thought they were like...
You know, when I...
At that time, like, ah, they were pretty good.
But as I got older, I was like...
I just...
They just started losing that appeal to me.
I was just like, ah.
I don't know.
You know.
They're hit or miss.
They're very rudimentary as far as music goes.
But what's good is really good.
Yeah.
You can have simplicity and have it to be beautiful.
It's like the same thing we said with me.
Like, with me, I like Bad Religion.
Not a lot of people like them.
A lot of people hate Bad Religion, you know?
It's like, what era are you talking about Bad Religion?
I'm talking about Bad Religion up until...
I am going to say they should have gave it up after...
Their first comeback album after they...
Guess the Green?
After they gave up.
They were tossed by...
They have 15 albums, dude.
Yeah. 15 albums.
The Great Race was good.
They should have stopped there.
Stranger Fiction or...
Yeah.
That's the one with the...
That's the one after...
That's the one with that infected...
Yeah.
Stranger Fiction.
The Great Race was after that.
It was after that.
After that was another album.
I forgot.
But then the other one, which was Process of Belief.
That was a good one.
I was like, all right.
They should...
That's cool.
That's a good album.
Whatever.
But...
You have to understand...
Their stuff on Atlantic wasn't so great, but their early stuff from the early 80s, I love it.
Oh, 80s through 85?
Okay.
That's great.
They're into the...
