Oh, I'm so happy to be back in this box.
Back in the hot box again.
Hi, Mindy.
Hey, Mary.
How's it going?
It's going pretty good.
It's nice to be back in the hot box as always.
Every Tuesday.
Of course.
Every Tuesday live at skidrowstudios.com.
We had one fucking hell of a fucking February in the hot box.
Yeah, we did.
A lot of magic, a lot of mayhem, a lot of metal, a lot of face melting.
Yeah.
A lot of gummy bears up in our mouths.
Too many fucking gummy bears.
Some chopped up shit.
So we're here.
You're listening to Skid Row Studios, the hot box at 9 p.m.
Pacific time.
So we're, I don't know, we're pretty, we're pretty pumped.
We got, we got the Pollywog crew, our, our, one of our first guests.
They are, they are back again.
They were episode number two.
This is number 25.
Quarter of a century or of a hundred.
Do you realize what next week is?
What's next week?
26, which means our six month anniversary.
Half a year.
We've been here.
Yeah.
By this time, you and I are domestic life partners.
We're getting there.
We're getting there.
We're gaining new fans.
And we're grateful.
We're getting grateful for you all.
Yes, we are.
People are tweeting us and.
Yeah, people are tweeting our tweets.
Or twatting us and twitting us.
Yeah, they're twatting us.
Twatting us hard.
We get some hard twatting up in here.
We do, yeah.
Last week was freaking amazing.
That episode we did with Dale Crowher.
Yeah, I don't know if you guys, I don't know if you guys tuned in, but it was pretty special.
I have a feeling if you've listened to any hot box, it's been that one.
Yeah.
Definitely.
That was a heavily downloaded one.
And it's only getting better.
I mean, like every single episode is my favorite episode.
That's good, right?
It's great.
I love this and I love life and I love this green shit that I'm about to spark up because we're in the hot box.
Let's make it official.
Yeah, I'm into it because it's no ordinary hot box unless it's being hot boxed by hot bitches.
And that's what's happening.
That's what's happening.
It's happening right now.
So yeah, you guys, as I said, we got Pollywog crew and we're starting off March with a bang.
We've decided that it's Iron Maiden March.
Maiden March.
Maiden March.
We've decided, you know, mustache March.
So last year.
Facial hair is for.
It's for men.
Fucking dudes.
It's for dudes.
I don't need a mustache to prove that I got what it takes to pay the bills.
Oh, well, somewhere out there in our guest room is Melissa.
Melissa.
From Oral Stimulation.
Yeah, she's here.
Me and her were talking.
Speaking of mustaches.
I don't know.
I never actually tried it, but I told her that I might try shaving my coochie hair like a pot leaf.
Oh, good one.
I bet you could go to one of those.
I just I have to grow the full bush before I try to make the pot leaf.
And I just hate that.
Well, I'm really I'm really good at making stencils.
So, I mean, like, I can make you a stencil.
Let's do it.
I will have the most epic bush.
Yeah.
The pot bush.
Wait, would you are you going to make it to where the pot leaf is the bald part or are you going to make it to where the hair is the pot leaf?
I was probably thinking the hair.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, that makes sense.
I thought you're going to say you're going to do a handlebar mustache.
You do that one.
OK, I'll do that one.
You get the hand.
Fine.
Here you go, little lady.
Oh, the weed is back to me.
It's a shame that it's a shame that we were out of February only because I was trying to get everybody on board with Furburger.
February or like Furbury.
But like nobody.
No, actually, no.
L.A.
Women want to grow their hair down there.
There's no more.
There's no more natural.
There's no more.
Are you talking about the armpit?
No, like the fur burger, like your lady burger.
Oh, I got the hair down there.
Oh, OK, cool.
Yeah.
You got to have your bald.
Like, I'm not trying to be a child again.
You're a woman.
You're all woman, Mindy.
I'm a beast.
How was your weekend?
Oh, it was pretty epic.
I'm teaching Dizzy, my beloved hamster, stand.
She kind of gets it.
But basically, it's like I'll be like when I first take her out, I'll be like, stand, stand, stand.
And she'll just look at me and then I'll pull out the tree and I'll be like, stand.
And then she'll stand.
I'll give it to her.
And then she'll just start standing, like thinking that I'm going to give her a treat.
She doesn't get that.
She has to wait for me to say stand.
So now she's just on two legs all the time.
She's just like every time I come in, she's like.
That's amazing.
I knew you were going to teach that hamster some wily.
I discovered she loves broccoli.
That's really cute.
Yeah.
So I'm buying her like broccoli all the time.
Dizzy would.
I have a creature.
I love our critter.
I like the word critter.
I like to say that I'm a critter owner.
You are a critter owner and your critter is a rascal.
And yeah, your life.
I got one hell of a cute critter.
She goes rogue.
She goes dumb like the three stooges.
That's why we love her.
I haven't met her yet.
We.
We also had a party.
Yeah, you need to meet Dizzy.
We had a Sunday party together where we grilled.
And Mindy did the trek all the way to my neck of the woods and ate a bunch of food with us and got hella stoned.
Like that macaroni and cheese bacon pie.
Bacon pie filled with macaroni and cheese.
That's what one of my sister.
It was my sister's birthday.
And one of her friends came hard with bacon macaroni and cheese pie.
And now three of my neighbors have all been like, dude, that girl with the.
Pie.
That was like the best pie.
It was like, I was the pie.
You should probably tell her that because that sounds like a, like a pickup line.
Out there.
And she has the best.
She's got bomb ass pie.
It's cheesy.
And bacon.
And so smoky.
Delicious.
And delicious.
Yeah.
I can do that all day.
Actually.
Just keep making, talking about people's pie.
The people's pie.
The pie of the people.
Yeah, exactly.
Well, uh, I don't even know what we should do.
I'm going to cough for a minute.
Oh yeah.
Use the cough button.
Oh yeah, the cough button.
Yeah.
Here is Skid Row Studios.
www.skidrowstudios.com.
We have cough buttons.
We're supposed to hit them if we're going to make weird noises like coughs or eating food, but.
Or animal noises.
Or farting.
Yeah.
Today I watched a video of a hedgehog and someone was making fart noises.
And then the hedgehog would like hide whenever he heard the fart noise.
I hide whenever I hear the fart noise.
Because you know, you know that you're about to get crop dusted sickly.
So if you guys want to give us a call, since we have Polywog crew in here, you guys are going to want to probably ask them, Polywog, probably ask them some questions.
It's 800-893-9562.
We're going to do a little Maiden March kickoff to get things rocking and then we're going to have the boys on.
So once again, that's 800-893-9562.
Are you fucking ready?
Let's get heavy.
Yeah.
Let's get heavy.
Are you fucking ready?
Are you fucking ready?
Yeah.
Are you fucking ready?

As a bunch of innocent men Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Right.
Corbett.
Who did what?
Welcome back, fellas.
We got the Pollywog crew back 23 episodes later.
Hi, guys.
Get real close.
Into the mic, please, if you will.
And yeah.
All right.
I don't know if you listened to episode number two or not.
Can you guys hear me?
All right.
Good.
But they got it in control.
Jay.
We have some new listeners that weren't around for number two.
Why don't you each introduce yourself?
Yeah.
Roll call.
Who you play in the BC Boys Tribute Band.
All right.
My name is Jay.
I play the role of MCJ.
Which is, I guess, MCA's counterpart.
I don't know what to call it.
But yeah.
And I want to give a quick shout out to the Beastie Boy family.
They're plugging us really well right now.
It's cool.
It's what a Beastie does.
Beastie fan.
Yeah.
Awesome.
Our Beastie fan group.
Love them.
My name is Alejandro.
And I actually play the road manager, Alejandro.
Okay.
So it worked out perfectly for me.
So you didn't have to change your name or anything.
Good.
Road manager.
That's actually how I was casted.
If you will.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
Good.
My name is Pepe.
And I play the rogue circus midget.
That just runs around the stage causing a muck?
The awkward part is he's a little too tall for it.
Oh.
So it's actually him as a hologram.
Oh, okay.
Gotcha.
Gotcha.
Yeah.
But he controls the hologram.
So it works out.
Because a tall midget's probably a human.
Just a regular sized human.
I'm actually used to pig fruit.
With short arms.
With short eyes.
I'm used to pig fruit on the off day.
Oh.
So I have like a really heavy burden.
Used to.
Thank God he's used to.
Used to pig fruit.
And we got the annihilator here.
Yo, what's up?
I'm DJ Luman.
Luman.
Yeah.
Represent.
All right.
Luman, you may not have heard last time.
Yeah, I was absent.
Actually, yeah, I was working at the airline.
His first time in the bus.
First time in the bus.
Yeah.
I am very pumped up.
We are all up in here in the place to be.
Yes, we are.
I am the DJ of the crew.
And I represent with the cuts, the scratches, and the zigga, zigga, zigzags.
Huh.
Ah.
And we're all up in here, man.
We've been doing good.
It's been so far a very well journey.
And I'm very pleased to be here.
You say a very well journey.
Yeah.
It's been very well.
I'm glad that we could.
It's a well-asked journey.
Well done.
Journey so far.
Well done, meat.
Yeah, so far well.
Good.
We were there when it was first grown on the grill, Mary.
We were.
Yeah, we were.
It was like, hey, guys, what are you all about?
Now it's like you guys are like seasoned.
Now they're sizzling.
Now we can't even tell you.
I mean, now we can't even, we don't even have time to tell you.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
We have to go through.
I mean, I gotta be out here by 9.15, so.
9.15.
Oh.
Well, you're late.
You're late.
Really?
I missed the bus.
Yeah, no.
Well, I don't know.
Chevro legs always works for me.
So I would let you guys know me and Mary know DJ Luman from a little store called Dementia for all you weed smokers out there.
Valley shout outs.
Those of you in the valley.
And also there's one.
We're a trio of awesome coworkers that held shit down for a long while.
We held that down pretty well.
The vibe and the energy and everything was well, right?
That was some well, that was really well.
Yeah, it was well done.
We held that down.
No, no.
Weed.
No, not even because we're different individuals.
And I mean, yeah, that was cool.
But we all somehow came down.
Everybody had a good taste of music.
Yep.
A couple of times.
Good taste of music.
Oh, someone forgot about that.
Someone forgot about that.
Cough and chew.
And.
And mental health.
It just, that's how, that's how I think Pollywog came, came, you know, down to its time now.
Everything took its time.
And because I was with these ladies right here that hold Hotbox down, came a year or four years later, they're doing their thing here.
And I came across Pollywog crew.
And yeah, it's been a cool, like I said, grade A meat right here, baby.
That's how I serve it up.
It was great.
Yeah.
That's how I serve it up.
So great.
You know, so it's been cool.
We got this show coming up March 16th.
And so far, I mean, we've been doing pretty good at the last few shows.
Have a good little following.
We've been hitting up networks and, you know, trying to get in, you know, so it's been going good.
We've been rehearsing, practicing the show coming up.
It's going to be also related to an opening art gallery of photography from Sonny Bach, which is going to be fresh.
It's going to be at the 818 basement.
If you guys haven't been there, that's.
That spot's been there for a way minute.
I used to buy my vinyl back in the days.
Is it?
Didn't they move it, though?
Like, like a couple blocks.
Like two shops down.
Yeah, they moved it a few times.
Oh, was it?
Oh, okay.
They moved it a few times.
Mary, don't give us you and your two blocks.
Oh, yeah.
When I say two blocks, I mean six or seven.
But I walk fast, so it feels like two blocks.
I wasn't kidding about Chevrolet.
I walk on getaway sticks.
You know, you walk too.
You walk fast.
I'm a walker.
I am too.
I do.
And I hate everybody that goes slower than me, too.
Yeah.
That's like my biggest pet peeve is like when I'm stuck behind slow walkers.
How are you driving?
Driving?
I'm, I guess I drive the speed limit.
I don't speed drive.
She drives tour buses all day.
I like to speed walk.
Do you walk the speed limit?
No.
You should try that out.
I think that might be the problem.
Yeah.
Well, I can't stand the slow walkers either.
I do.
I don't drive slow, but I'm like not a super speed driver.
Yeah.
What is?
I drive carefully.
I take my life seriously.
Yup.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I try to walk as fast as possible.
I walk fast.
I drive slow in the Metro.
It takes me wherever I go.
Yes, it do.
It most certainly do.
Yeah.
So, Beastie Boys Tribute Band.
That's us.
Yes.
Yes, ma'am.
Your thoughts.
I was going to see if you guys wanted to do a little flow, throw something down in the studio.
It could be anything.
Yes, on March 16th.
Like a barber quintet.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I need to hear your best harmonized acapella right now.
We need this.
Yeah.
It could even be, you know, boys to men, Beastie Boys.
Beastie Boys to men.
I keep on falling.
You want to give us a little beat, Lou?
Do we have beats?
Your hands.
Just with your hands?
Do we have instrumentals?
She's at it.
She can drum.
All right.
Got this dance that's more than real.
Drink fast, fuck it, here's how you feel.
Put your left leg down.
And your right leg up.
Tilt your head back.
Let's finish the cup.
You rock the can.
You rock it's nice with Charlie Chan.
That's my favorite.
We don't mind shivers.
Wherever we go.
It's just like the real show.
We bring the popcorn with us.
Yeah.
What's really funny is if you were just crooning Beastie Boys songs, it would take people like a second to know what song you were singing.
It took us.
It literally took me like 10 minutes to figure out what we were doing.
I'm sorry.
You're like, I don't know what song.
To the family.
I apologize.
I don't know at all.
We weren't practiced for the studio.
I was not.
Well, that's what we tried to do.
We tried to get one of the guys on our last show to sing or to like, he like has like some growly, noisy electro stuff that he does.
But he like, remember he wouldn't.
At least if we can get you to do it and you do it, that's all we want.
I think we leave a little mystery to our thing.
A little to the imagination.
Yeah.
I think we should just dance this morning.
We got Pollywog crew and that's sexy.
I just realized something, Mary.
What's that?
You remember there was an episode you missed recently where I had to sacrifice a stoner virgin by myself.
Yes, I do.
Interesting.
The stoner virgin is in the other room.
I was thinking maybe we can double sacrifice him and make him do round two with you in the house.
Oh, get all the hotbox.
Let's see.
I'm gonna smoke out the stoner.
What's going on out there, Nick?
He said, what up?
Is he down for this challenge?
I'm not sure.
Are you the mediator?
You're not gonna ask him.
Is he gonna walk in?
Is he gonna open the door?
Well, we could always play the music and see if he maybe will come.
Oh, he's coming in.
He came in.
Welcome.
Welcome to the hotbox.
All right.
So we- Ah, man, you're good to go.
Man.
Let's just do a quick like, yeah, give this dude the mic really quick.
Alex.
Yes.
Get on the mic.
How was your last show?
The last show was great.
I'm sorry you missed it too.
My car took dumps.
Like dumps like a truck.
Like it was really- And I don't drive a truck either, so it was really, really annoying.
Like it needs a diaper because it just can't keep it in its pants.
Yeah, it was a shitter.
It was a shitter.
It's still a shitter actually.
It shit itself to death.
But I really wanted to be here last Tuesday.
I want to be here every hotbox, but this was gonna be a special one where we were gonna smoke the virgin out and we- See, I wanted- The stoner virgin.
I really wanted to like tie him to the table and have like handcuffs and like- Shit.
Like, you know, like bloody daggers and shit.
That would be a first weed smoking very epic experience.
Have you smoked since that episode?
No, I haven't.
You're not high right now.
No, technically no.
Not at all.
Technically no.
Had you ever smoked weed?
No.
And you did it on this show?
I did it on the show.
Live on the air.
What the fuck's wrong with you, man?
No, you know what?
I made a pact with two of my boys like in fourth grade that we wouldn't do any- I'm sure you got on the hotbox show.
At the dare.
No, check this out.
We made- Are you a fucking prophet?
No, we did a thing where I would never do any drugs and we'd beat each other up if we did.
And those two guys have done anything and everything in the book and I've been exposed to probably- You've been due.
Everything.
So you've been beating them up?
Yeah, practically.
Did you let them beat you up last time?
No, they actually- They're in jail.
I told them.
I mean, some of them told me we're like- They're in jail for beating their friend and doing a bunch of heinous shit.
No, but I mean, so are they going to beat you up this time if you smoke with them?
No, they wouldn't beat me up at all.
Well, because I mean, can- I'm bigger than them, so- Can they blame you?
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Okay, well- Now that you've gotten high, you go back to them and just kick the shit out of both of them.
Yeah.
You're like, you kept me from this?
You kept me from this?
No.
Yeah, snicker snag both of them.
I dare you.
Or give them like a good purple nurple.
Yeah, probably wouldn't.
A little toilet swirly.
Yeah, just yeah, toilet swirly.
Thank you for specifying that you only do swirlies in a toilet.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
There's a number of people that you could.
Yeah, let's pass it on over.
All right, so we're going to give him his second time smoking.
Oh, it goes to me first?
Oh yeah, we should green it.
I get to go?
Green it, stoner virgin.
We're just doing this for you, like a virgin.
Dude, hold those rips in until you choke, man.
You got to cough, then it's going to hit you.
Was that an instructional?
That's the voice of God.
Yeah, because last time you were the guy.
That's the voice of God.
We talked about the show a lot.
I was like, what?
I was like, what?
I was like, what?
I was like, what?
Man, we didn't even turn on the mood lighting.
Hey, kill that light switch.
This is God.
Kill that light switch.
Yeah.
Good girl, Mindy.
You tell him.
All right, all right.
Tell him to cut that light out.
All right.
So, basically.
I got pulled over in Glendale last week.
Would you like to hear my story?
Mm-hmm.
Glendale.
All right.
Yeah, Glendale especially.
I'm driving in my car with my fiance, and I have this sixth sense that I just know when I'm going to get pulled over.
Where does this go next?
Usually, it's when the cop gets out of his way to get to the car.
I'm like, what?
What?
What?
What's going on?
I'm like, I'm gonna get behind me, which happens fairly often in the city of Glendale.
And they pulled me over, and they let me know my taillight was out.
And for the fourth time, four for four, they let me go with a warning.
Four for four with a warning?
In Glendale.
In Glendale?
Four for four.
Hell yeah.
I just want to give a shout out to the Glendale police.
They're the finest police department.
Are we cool?
They're holding my man cap down over here.
I'm not nailing.
Do they have...
Wait, does Glendale have its own police force, or are they LAPD?
I don't know what state.
I don't know what state.
I don't know what state.
I don't know what state.
Glendale got their own thing going on.
Oh, do they?
Yeah.
Glendale's like Burbank.
Glendale's like Downey.
They even have their own little water plant.
Yeah, that's how Downey is.
Burbank's the same way.
Remember, Glendale shut down the cannabis cup as the second last minute option.
Don't be shitting on Glendale.
We're trying to talk him up.
Oh, I thought you were talking to him.
While you were flitting around like a stoner farrier on the studio a minute ago.
Don't be shitting on Glendale.
I was just saying that my police department is the finest in the nation.
He apparently got released four for four.
Which just whines.
Allegedly, he said.
He's just saying.
Word.
Allegedly.
Once my license was expired, they said, well, just get that updated.
Well, that's kind of them.
Cool.
That's a cool.
Kind of cool.
Just go to DMV, dude.
That's what he said.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's all you need to do.
I had a fix it ticket for like almost a month and was just always like, I just got a fix it ticket.
I'm fixing it tomorrow.
And they never.
But.
Well, how about that?
I was trying to catch up.
I'm always not trying to get pulled over.
Now I'm just driving around with a tail light bulb in my back.
I'm just driving around with a tail light bulb in my back.
I'm just driving around with a tail light bulb in my back.
I'm just driving around with a tail light bulb in my back seat.
Yeah.
No, like I like I didn't have insurance for like three days and I was the biggest little baby bitch on the planet.
Like I was like, if I get pulled over, man, they're going to impound my shit like I can't go anywhere.
But I'd still take it to the market.
Drive it.
Drive it to the drive it to the store.
Drive it to pick somebody up.
Do whatever.
I got the munchies.
I'm a driver across the street.
I'm going to drive a little but not I'm not going to go far without insurance.
I'm not you know, I'm not like a total like, you know, wild bitch.
Not like that.
Does anybody have health insurance?
I'm so un-wild.
Health insurance?
Yeah.
I've heard of that.
Turns out.
Does anyone?
Who has health insurance in the studio?
I have free health care.
The fucking virgin.
The virgin's got or the stoner virgin who doesn't smoke any weed.
Well, he's smoking now.
So we got like three people out of what like there's at least 12.
I got sunshine.
We got a dozen.
We got an egg.
What in here?
Carton.
Carton.
We got a bunch of people.
On a cloudy day.
Right.
You got sunshine.
I got a question here.
Yeah.
Jeff and myself are not smoking.
How much time before we all got a break next time?
Oh, good question.
Oh, yeah.
I was going to give a shout out to my boyfriend.
Yeah.
Manny Robles.
Oh, yeah.
Manny.
Manny Robles.
To Manny Robles.
Yes.
Manny Robles.
Because.
He started Manny Robles.
There's a Laker game going on right now.
And RIP Lakers.
I have this feeling.
Yeah, pretty much.
But he's starting a Lakers podcast starting tomorrow.
Right here at Skid Row Studios?
Not at Skid Row Studios.
Oh, weird.
I don't know where.
Skid Robles.
Crazy.
Well, basically, you guys are going to be like.
Skid Robles.
Skid Robles.
Skid Robles.
I'll just play it because my last name is Robles too.
Yeah.
My name is Luis Robles.
So that's why I definitely.
I almost thought you guys were related at one point.
Yeah, that's cool.
That's when I got the job.
I'm sure we are in some way or somehow.
Yeah.
Well, you both.
He's also like a super talented bass player and he has this epic CD that's nowhere on the internet.
So like nobody's heard it.
And I'm gonna play a song.
You should just collect it on the internet yourself.
Yeah.
Just I shouldn't put it on blast.
He doesn't know how to convert it to MP3.
I think that's the hurdle he needs.
Oh, that's why.
That's why the little thing there.
I was wondering what your little gadget was.
All right.
This is.
Go Mannies!
What the fuck do you say, vagina?
When you don't know what's gonna do, people are gonna kill ya!
And that is the reason that we don't live forever!
It's over and it's worse, and it's over and it's better!
I didn't mean to start it, kid! ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
All right.
Richard Ramirez beat down.
Do they ever play any shows anymore?
They haven't for like a year and a half.
Manny and the guitar player kind of have a weird love-hate friendship.
The guy's kind of like a reclusive dick, but then their music jams so awesome together.
Was he Colonel Sanders?
No, no.
Oh, okay.
Colonel Sanders is alive and doing well, and he doesn't live too far from us in Koreatown.
Oh, K-town, right.
Yeah.
Great, great, great.
K-town, you're crazy.
So crazy.
Okay, so, well, you guys should probably tell us about your show.
It's coming up on the 16th, March 16th.
Okay.
So we have a show.
Break it down.
I'm Jay.
Again.
I'm Jay.
Hello.
What's up, Jay?
All right.
So March 16th, we have a show.
It's going to be at the basement, 818 in Sherman Oaks, and it means a lot to us.
Sunny Bach is a photographer, and she basically captured our childhood.
I mean, she did all of the licensed to ill photography, and just an amazing photographer.
If you check out her studio, Sunny Bach Studio.
How do you spell that?
You spell it S-U-N-N-Y-B-A-K.
There you go.
Sunny Bach.
And she's the shit.
I mean, she captured some of the most beautiful images.
I mean, MCA hanging on the Palladium sign to just some really beautiful photography.
And I mean, she's going to have her T-shirts.
She's got her imagery on Chubb.
She's got her T-shirts.
And, you know, the thing is this.
It's like it's such an honor to do a show at the basement, especially for us being from the Valley.
And then just to be there with all the graffiti, all the photography.
And I mean, and we're going to have a lot of people there just to support.
Just the history of the basement.
Yeah, the basement alone comes a long way.
It's been in Ventura like a few years, man.
And it's changed a few spots, but definitely heads know where to go.
To go get hip hop, you know, cultured out.
Especially in the Valley too.
Like their vinyl selection has always been.
Yeah, I used to cop a lot of vinyl actually from Dark Tooth and a couple of dudes when I started spinning it on like early like 2002.
And, you know, they hold down a lot of events now, which is really good, I think, and necessary for that Valley area.
And the show will be Saturday the 16th.
It begins at three.
Paliwa crew will go on at four.
It's until eight.
And there will be, it's free for all ages.
It's a definitely dope thing to bring your kids, the family, you know, it's on Ventura.
It's, we're going to also, Sunny has donated a piece of her, one of her photos that is going to be auctioned off to a cancer fighting charity.
Well, I'm saying that actually the proceeds will be going to a cancer fighting charity.
And there's also going to be, there's going to be a raffle bag with, you know, several goodies, Beastie Boy related goodies and other knickknacks in there.
So, you know.
And some live art, right?
Live art.
Say Adams too, D?
Say got some stuff.
Say or sorry?
Say.
Okay, so.
Say, say, sorry.
Say Adams.
Say, say, say.
Say is a very accomplished artist.
And he, for a lot of y'all that don't know, he worked on a lot of the earlier Def Jam, um, artist, uh, you know, covers and stuff like that.
Was it, uh, Joey Krebs who did the Raging Against the Machine?
No, he won't be joining us.
I don't, I don't know what I'm talking about.
Say is an iconic.
We're just saying names now.
Say is an iconic graffiti artist.
There's a guy showing up, Pablo Picasso.
Oh.
Will he be in attendance?
That's my, that's my third cousin right there.
Really?
Yeah.
Wow.
We will be the only act performing, which is kind of exciting for us and an honor.
Yeah.
Right, guys?
It's very much.
Yeah.
Awesome.
How many shows, how many shows have you guys done after this one?
Uh, it's been about more than, uh, well, I think like what?
More than half a dozen, I think.
I think, yeah.
Probably like six, seven.
Like a baker's dozen.
That's pretty awesome.
I gotta say, you know, it's been.
This basement one, it's like.
That one's gonna be the hit, man.
Yeah.
Like, I think, you know what?
Honestly, everybody should come out.
Like I said, it's free.
No cover charges.
Come through.
And Joey's gonna be Saturday day, I'm sure.
You know, you could come through.
No matter what the weather is out here in Cali and.
Well, it's probably gonna be pretty.
I mean, it's pretty.
Yeah, it has to be.
It's gonna be an awesome event.
You know what I'm saying?
There's gonna be artwork and photography from Sunny Bach, which she actually got to capture the moments of Beastie Boys when they started from Def Jam, License to Ill, 88, 89.
When they were really young, you know, catching rec on everything.
And then probably until like, maybe like, you know, Paul's Boutique and Check Your Head.
But regardless, it's gonna be a good event.
You know, come through representing.
Hip hop, Beastie Boys, Pollywag crew is gonna perform.
We got a good set coming up, you know?
Yeah, no kidding.
If you guys, I mean, if anybody out there is a Beastie fan.
It's just a great opportunity to picture.
LA and the Valley and the whole area.
Yeah, the Valley's dope.
Like the Valley, man, 818.
I stayed out there for, man, quite some time.
Like I said, like we held down the 818 dementia.
No Hollywood first.
And I managed that piece for like four years.
And we all used to like play hella music.
That's all I could think.
We played everything from Beastie Boys to.
Hit like fucking.
Pavement.
Fuck, man.
And fucking Pixies.
And Pixies.
Slayer.
And Slayer can.
Today's Natalie's birthday.
The Alice in Wonderland soundtrack.
Happy birthday, Natalie.
Natalie, the curator of the basement.
It's her birthday today.
So yeah.
Happy birthday, Natalie.
Hey, happy belated birthday to Nicole Orchard.
Yeah.
I never got to say what's up, but the proper what's up.
I know y'all did it up.
Yeah, I know.
Like my little sister.
Yeah, we made sure she had a good ass birthday.
Fuck yeah.
I got my boy Billy Corbett listening in.
Just keeping this going.
I mean, I'm looking at all of our comments.
There's some online twatting going on.
There is.
People are twitting and twatting.
Twitting and twatting, you guys.
Twitting and tweeting for us.
So great.
So great.
Marissa.
A lot of people.
So just so y'all know, our purpose for coming together was ultimately to keep the Beastie Boys sound alive out on stages.
And the Beastie Boy idea and lifestyle that I think a lot of us embraced in the early 90s, especially when we were old enough to really take it all in.
And that whole, you know, when MCA passed away, it was very daunting for a lot of us.
And it touched us really deeply to the point where we're like, you know, we have to do something personally because, you know, about it.
And, you know, not only come together, but we came together also to, you know, help.
We can as far as raising money towards the fight of cancer.
You know, we always pledge to donate a percentage of our earnings towards that.
And that's going to be our staple to assure we hang our hats on.
And that's I just wanted to say that for y'all that, you know, have never seen us or heard us or don't know anything about us.
That's basically.
That's your guys' mission.
Go to our Pollywog crew.
Not only that, like, I feel like the Beastie Boys.
I feel like I was raised by the Beastie Boys.
Like.
Yeah, I mean.
For the ages that we all are and like the times like that we like, like we would scream Beastie Boys lyrics at each other.
Like all stoned at work, just like.
They definitely had a whole purpose.
I mean, they touched out people through their music, but they definitely like towards, you know, their peak.
They definitely had messages to send out like fighting cancer.
All of us have people that have fallen from breast cancer, throat cancer, liver cancer, cancer, tumors and all that, you know.
So.
We're saying fuck cancer.
Yeah, fuck cancer.
You know, that's that's the whole movement on its own.
But not only that, they fought for a lot of stuff and you can still catch, you know.
They fought for the right to party.
That too, man.
Yeah.
If you catch them and that's the dope part that I relate to as as spinning for this group as a DJ, like what they did early on.
They definitely were wilding out.
They definitely like.
And they love the ladies.
They love the ladies.
Man, who the.
The ladies.
The ladies.
They're all about the ladies.
And that's probably.
Hey ladies.
Yeah, exactly.
You prefer.
That.
Yeah.
Come on.
They hate cancer.
They hate cancer.
Smash a whack MC.
Yeah, exactly.
They totally will.
And they love the ladies.
You know.
I just want to say, like with cancer, like really, I think people need to invest in looking at like the causes of cancer and focus on putting non-toxic things in their bodies.
They should get on that.
They should get on that.
I think we need to invest in like like seriously, like prevention and getting back to like natural.
Like how to.
How to not get cancer.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Or if you really want to do something, you got to talk to your local congressman or congresswoman.
Yeah.
Because they're the ones that pass the bills for everything that go into your food.
Like that's something I think about a lot.
Just go to Germany.
You do?
That much?
Really?
I watch your documentary.
You just go to Germany and they'll cure what ails you.
Kobe.
Kobe.
Yeah.
Well.
Have you ever heard of the Gerson?
Dirt McGirt.
Gerson miracle?
Dirt star.
You guys.
Watch that documentary.
It's about.
Who's ever heard of?
It's about a doctor who can't practice in the US because he has a method that's not chemotherapy or radiation.
I like Dirt McGirt.

Jeff's going to drop the D.
All great doctors are based out of Mexico.

They're talking about me.
But that's just cause they haven't got a thing to say.
Well, everybody rapping like it's a commercial.
Acting like life is a big commercial.
