Speaker 1: the one out west.
Speaker 2: I mean they all carry it.
Speaker 1: What about Thirsty Lions, Yes, Thirsty Lions carry the big German.

Speaker 1: delicious big German. Thank you for supporting roller Town Beer Works.

Speaker 3: Mexico Turks and Caicos.
Speaker 2: Right, yeah, is that Mexico? No, Okay, he's going to
Speaker 2: tur and Cao.
Speaker 4: I thought Mexico two for a while.

Speaker 3: for uh, you know, for a little while on Thursday, and.
Speaker 2: This is the time year to go to Turks by
Speaker 2: the way, right, gets real hot. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Then, in fact, I went up to Talk Talk Thursday
Speaker 3: night and stayed and then got in the pool and
Speaker 3: got hammered Friday morning.
Speaker 2: It was a really good plan. I took a good plan.
Speaker 1: I took pictures of Kti in the pool, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: from my from my room. Yeah, for your personal collection, yeah,
Speaker 1: to my people.
Speaker 2: Put them in your bank. Yeah. Uh.
Speaker 3: And did the show Friday, and then we had a
Speaker 3: wonderful dinner at eighteen thirty two.
Speaker 2: That place is awesome, isn't it.
Speaker 5: It was amazing you first time there, Yes, okay. And
Speaker 5: the steak I got. So you have these options to
Speaker 5: put like toppings on the yeah. And so my boyfriend
Speaker 5: Mike s Roy loves aju soup or whatever it is.
Speaker 5: What is it with French onion. I'm sorry, it's French onion.
Speaker 5: French onion soup is away.
Speaker 2: He's what he loves.
Speaker 5: And he saw that as an option. He's like, wait, wait,
Speaker 5: so you can like put this on top of the steak.
Speaker 5: And the way you're just said, yes, we can do that.
Speaker 5: And it was so damn good.
Speaker 2: I loved the broth and French onion soup.
Speaker 1: I don't like the soggy bread in it, really yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm not down with the soggy bread, but the broth.
Speaker 4: Of it and on top of a steak was even better.
Speaker 3: Oh, I bet wonderful dinner. Then we all walk over
Speaker 3: to the Grand Theater and saw the Black Keys rock
Speaker 3: ass for ninety minutes.
Speaker 2: I have never been there. I know you've been there.
Speaker 2: KT Is that the first time you had gone?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: What a badass place to see a show.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and we had great seats seat.
Speaker 3: It's the best place to for you gotta go take
Speaker 3: a whizz real quick, or you gotta get up and
Speaker 3: get a drink. It's so easy to get where you
Speaker 3: need to go. And I really love that because a
Speaker 3: lot of places do not make it easy. No, you
Speaker 3: walk a long ass ways away from the show you're seeing.
Speaker 3: That's a great point. And also because of the way
Speaker 3: the venue is set up, you can hear the song
Speaker 3: that you're like choosing to go to the bathroom during
Speaker 3: all the way until you get to the bathroom, and
Speaker 3: then you come out you hear it again.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that was a great point. I did not
Speaker 1: think about that. But they may get super easy if
Speaker 1: you did not miss much when you got to take
Speaker 1: a whiz.
Speaker 3: We've all seen the Black Keys, but I did not
Speaker 3: realize that was like a top ten band for Christina.
Speaker 5: Uh yeah, I was telling Ben they're actually number like
Speaker 5: top three for me, so Zeppelin number one, Jack White anything,
Speaker 5: any of the bands, Heason number two and Black Keys.
Speaker 5: But I just I haven't listened to them in a while,
Speaker 5: and their last album, I actually didn't realize I know
Speaker 5: a lot more than I thought. Yeah, because I was
Speaker 5: listening to them the whole way up there to chalk
Speaker 5: talk because that's what I do before a concert. I'm like,
Speaker 5: let me get pumped, you know. Just refreshed my memory
Speaker 5: on some of these songs. And I love their older stuff,
Speaker 5: like when we were going through the garage rock sound
Speaker 5: and that's my favorite sound ever. And I wasn't expecting
Speaker 5: them to play any of that. I was really listening
Speaker 5: to that last album trying to get used to that.
Speaker 5: They played all old stuff and I just kept freaking
Speaker 5: out because I don't look at setless. And this is why,
Speaker 5: because I was so happy and so surprised, and I
Speaker 5: kept looking at Mike. I'm like, all right, I'll sit
Speaker 5: down now, and as soon as they would start for
Speaker 5: the next song, I'm like, nope, I'm getting back up
Speaker 5: because I can't believe they're playing like psychonic Girl. Oh
Speaker 5: my god, they played Psychotic Girl. For the first time,
Speaker 5: and I think they said, what seventeen years. Yeah, it
Speaker 5: was my favorite show ever.
Speaker 3: Really, well, that's all rocks too, because she was like,
Speaker 3: did you look at set lest I was like, this
Speaker 3: is the first show of the tour, so there dice
Speaker 3: what's gonna happen tonight?
Speaker 2: And it was wonderful. I like the Black Keys. I
Speaker 2: don't love the Black Keys, but I like them.
Speaker 1: And one of the things that my wife said, she
Speaker 1: doesn't really pay attention to them, but she said, this
Speaker 1: is a great concert because you don't really have to
Speaker 1: know any of their songs. Who'd like all this, her
Speaker 1: point being, you know, it was her way of saying,
Speaker 1: they have a sound. It's a very they do what
Speaker 1: they do, you know, it's I'm not saying it's paint
Speaker 1: by numbers, but they do what they do and they've
Speaker 1: mastered what they do and it's just very you know,
Speaker 1: easy to dig.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know. And so I thought it was a
Speaker 2: great show. I thought it was.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was the state I was in,
Speaker 1: or the seats or at the greatness of the venue,
Speaker 1: but I thought it was significantly better than the time
Speaker 1: I saw them in Fort Worth.
Speaker 2: It was wonderful. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Then Sunday BFD all day long we had a blast.
Speaker 3: I don't even know what to say. There's a ton
Speaker 3: of people there, Mada tunnel listeners, old and new. You know,
Speaker 3: did you han't seen before?
Speaker 1: Can we say something before we get to BFD it, please? Yes,
Speaker 1: we should acknowledge that Ben went on heater and won
Speaker 1: four hundred dollars on a blackjack table.
Speaker 3: I feel like it's a story we have to save
Speaker 3: until Ben is back. Okay, that's there's a black jack
Speaker 3: tail that I was crying at the time, and we have.
Speaker 2: To discuss it. But I think we have to wait
Speaker 2: till the big man's back. Yeah, I think that's fair.
Speaker 2: That's fair. Well, we will couch that for later. If
Speaker 2: you were there, you know, though, you know BFD though
Speaker 2: good gun. Do you guys have fun?
Speaker 4: I mean I mentioned it earlier.
Speaker 5: It just flew by because we were having so much fun,
Speaker 5: and not only so.
Speaker 4: The bands were cool too.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: So, like we had interviews we were doing in between sets,
Speaker 5: and I remember I had to interview one band and
Speaker 5: then Stabbing Westward was like right there, and so we
Speaker 5: were supposed to interview them like right next to where
Speaker 5: they were hanging out, and so the guy came out
Speaker 5: and he's like, oh man, I'll go tell my guys
Speaker 5: just to go eat something so you guys can have
Speaker 5: some quiet.
Speaker 4: Like I was just like, that's just really nice.
Speaker 2: You do thinks of other people anymore, I know, I know.
Speaker 4: So I thought that was awesome.
Speaker 5: And then, like you said, we walked out like for
Speaker 5: five seconds out of the VIP and people just kept
Speaker 5: coming up wanting to take pictures and stuff, and it.
Speaker 2: Was just really cool.
Speaker 1: That was my favorite part was the crowd. I thought
Speaker 1: the crowd was great. Yeah, tons of Eagle listeners there.
Speaker 1: Thank you for those of you listening that came out,
Speaker 1: and I felt like everybody had a great time.
Speaker 2: And you know, early in the day it's hot.
Speaker 1: But we went out there and we threw it stabbing
Speaker 1: westward and that was probably about three thirty or so,
Speaker 1: and I thought there was a pretty decent crowd for
Speaker 1: being that early in the day, for no doubt.
Speaker 2: I mean, I was impressed.
Speaker 1: But then by the time we went out there at
Speaker 1: the very end before Chavelle.
Speaker 3: Well Pod two, I mean, oh yeah, before Pod because
Speaker 3: Pod was like in the six pm hour probably, and
Speaker 3: we were kind of shooting the shooting the bowl with
Speaker 3: them before they went on. They were cool to talk
Speaker 3: to us before we and that's when I was like, Okay,
Speaker 3: now it's packed.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it kind of went up a level.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I was impressed with the crowd. I was
Speaker 1: impressed with the event. Again, we were talking about this earlier.
Speaker 1: All the nice people at iHeart that worked their ass
Speaker 1: off for that. I mean there was we just kind
Speaker 1: of show up and drink and hobnob like it's easy
Speaker 1: on us.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Man, the promo people put in so much work. But
Speaker 1: it was fantastic.
Speaker 2: Loved it.
Speaker 1: The bands were great, the vibes were great, and I'm
Speaker 1: happy that those of you that went got to go
Speaker 1: because it was an awesome event. How did y'all recover yesterday? Well,
Speaker 1: the first of all, how did I recover that night?
Speaker 1: It was a very nice shower that night.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, that's the best shower.
Speaker 2: It was so good, the.
Speaker 5: Best shower ever. And then I had so much adrenaline
Speaker 5: still going. I kind of stayed up because I knew
Speaker 5: I could sleep in the next thing too.
Speaker 3: Thankfully, I thought I stayed up late Sunday night we
Speaker 3: should have, and I did nothing yesterday.
Speaker 1: Okay, So I went and drank yesterday at Rollertown Beer Works,
Speaker 1: and then I got home later than I thought, and
Speaker 1: I kept drinking and I kept drinking, and I was thinking, Man,
Speaker 1: I know, it's a Monday, and we didn't work, and
Speaker 1: I don't know, it still kind of feels like a weekend.
Speaker 1: So I treated it like it was a weekend, like
Speaker 1: I didn't treat it like I had to get up
Speaker 1: and go to work today.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree, I did the same.
Speaker 1: I was drinking at two thirty last night, listening to music.
Speaker 2: A yeah, I didn't even turn the music off until
Speaker 2: three am. How do you how do you not get full?
Speaker 2: How do you want more? I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I just I was.
Speaker 1: I just felt like I was on such a heater
Speaker 1: from the whole weekend, from the Chalk Taw experience. Saturday night,
Speaker 1: we celebrated my birthday because my birthday was during BFD,
Speaker 1: and so I went with my family.
Speaker 2: So we went out to dinner.
Speaker 1: Saturday night, and then Sunday I had BFD, and then
