Speaker 1: Performers getting into trouble. So Miranda Lambert, I've split the
Speaker 1: difference on her and the people in the audience, because
Speaker 1: sometimes something can trigger you and you can be distracted
Speaker 1: by something that wouldn't seem like a big deal. I
Speaker 1: don't know what the situation was, but it really really
Speaker 1: got under her skin. And that's I guess what being
Speaker 1: an entertainer is today. You got to just deal with
Speaker 1: it and put the book gloggles on. But I imagine
Speaker 1: it's easier said than done. And thankfully that didn't like
Speaker 1: put her into the ground, canceling her. Because I'm splitting
Speaker 1: the difference. And then you have Cardi B. Someone splashed
Speaker 1: a drink on her. But she's up there performing and
Speaker 1: someone splashes her with freezing cold water or just cold water.
Speaker 1: She threw her microphone and it was so instantaneous that
Speaker 1: it was like a gut reflex. You could just tell
Speaker 1: there was no thinking involved. You know, someone on my
Speaker 1: and my messages said they played fuck around and find out,
Speaker 1: and I'm team Cardi B. They played fuck around and
Speaker 1: they found out. But what I know and what I
Speaker 1: saw is they played fuck around and find out, and
Speaker 1: she threw the microphone down and you could probably really
Speaker 1: hurt someone really badly. You could poke someone's eye out,
Speaker 1: so it's not great. But if you're gonna fucking poke
Speaker 1: a bear in the zoo, this is what's gonna.
Speaker 2: Happen, you know. So I was team CARDI B.
Speaker 1: I'm going to say, you don't know what's happening in
Speaker 1: the moment because you don't know how distracting the women are.
Speaker 1: You don't know what actually happened. You know that not
Speaker 1: everything needs to be said, and that the artists should
Speaker 1: have controlled themselves because frankly, everything is subject to cancelation now.
Speaker 1: But I also understand it being very distracting for a
Speaker 1: performer having people not paying attention. And sometimes you're speaking
Speaker 1: at a charity event and a bunch of people are
Speaker 1: laughing or making noises or the clanking of dishes, and
Speaker 1: people don't realize that you're noticing it. And I will say,
Speaker 1: you always notice the weirdest little thing, like I could be.
Speaker 1: I'm in the podcast room right now and my assistant
Speaker 1: is way off to the side, so don't she's not
Speaker 1: in my line of sight. If we were in a separate,
Speaker 1: different setup where she were in my line of sight,
Speaker 1: she could be totally silent, but like opening a wrapper
Speaker 1: or doing something or scribbling something or typing furiously, and
Speaker 1: it would be distracting. So I'm just going to say
Speaker 1: I am going to split the difference because I don't
Speaker 1: know what was happening in the moment. And I think
Speaker 1: I've told you this before, but I once through a
Speaker 1: bottle of orange juice on three people in a concert setting.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying I'm proud of myself end and this
Speaker 1: is not this is not me performing. I'm saying I
Speaker 1: have to own when my behavior is bad. But I'm
Speaker 1: going to tell you the context of the situation and
Speaker 1: you can make your own decision. So I was at
Speaker 1: Steven's Talkhouse, which is a sort of like an amaganstt Local,
Speaker 1: feels like a college saw dust bar where live music plays.
Speaker 1: But major people have played there, Like you'll have like
Speaker 1: local bands to Nobody's to Joni Mitchell to Jimmy Buffett.
Speaker 1: Major people have performed there. I don't know if like
Speaker 1: the Rolling Stones have performed there, but it wouldn't be surprising.
Speaker 1: Cold Play was performing there this one night and every summer,
Speaker 1: like Billy Joel's probably performed there. I'm sure like there'll
Speaker 1: be a stop by and they'll be surprised and it's
Speaker 1: like something cool for the locals, and.
Speaker 2: The word gets out.
Speaker 1: It happens At Surflage last week, one of the Jonas
Speaker 1: brothers was djaying like, it's just a Hampton's thing for
Speaker 1: people who are proportionally larger in fame than the size
Speaker 1: of the location, based on how many seats it can fill,
Speaker 1: and it's cool. I've seen why Cliff at Surflage, like
Speaker 1: it's just a col Hampton's thing. And I'm sure you've
Speaker 1: seen this in other places too, but it's a Hampton's thing.
Speaker 1: So Coldplay was performing and I found out and I
Speaker 1: was on serious radio.
Speaker 2: I was on Radio Andy and I had my.
Speaker 1: Own show, and there was a girl, Melissa lann Or
Speaker 1: who used to be at the Today's Show, and she
Speaker 1: was a producer there and I knew her from the
Speaker 1: Today Show and I knew her from here, and she
Speaker 1: was saying, we want you to we want you to
Speaker 1: do five days a week. And that was back before
Speaker 1: a pandemic, when everybody was going in to fifty first
Speaker 1: and sixth or whatever avenue that is to go like
Speaker 1: we're serious, as I think it's in the same building
Speaker 1: as Fox, and I remember saying, like, the amount of
Speaker 1: money you'd have to pay me to go from downtown
Speaker 1: Trobecca every single day up there for several hours based
Speaker 1: on what I would have to be paid what they
Speaker 1: could pay me was just not going to track. I
Speaker 1: just wasn't going to do it. So I wanted to
Speaker 1: sort of stack shows. And I was doing effectively one
Speaker 1: show a week, and Melissa said, no one can hold
Speaker 1: a room like you, like you can talk to yourself
Speaker 1: and you don't even need guests and you don't need callers,
Speaker 1: and we want you to do five days a week.
Speaker 1: So it was exciting for me and it was flattering.
Speaker 1: It was before podcasting popped off and there was a demand,
Speaker 1: but I didn't do it. I didn't agree to do it.
Speaker 1: I said maybe I could do once or twice a week.
Speaker 1: Does it always have to be live? They thought it
Speaker 1: really had to be live, and now like definitely doesn't have.
Speaker 2: To be live.
Speaker 1: So it was cool and they liked me, like I
Speaker 1: was some sort of shiny new object that could possibly
Speaker 1: be very successful there and it was exciting to me.
Speaker 1: So serious was the were the ones putting on this
Speaker 1: concert and I brought my ex who passed Away's daughter
Speaker 1: who was in college.
Speaker 2: I think I forgot the her age, but a young girl,
Speaker 2: and I brought her.
Speaker 1: And this wasn't a great example for her, by the way,
Speaker 1: as I think about it, But I brought her to
Speaker 1: the Coldplay concert. And we were there and there's like
Speaker 1: a pit, like a square area right in front of
Speaker 1: the stage that has a wall around it, and right
Speaker 1: behind it is like a little area where you could
Speaker 1: stand up by the bar and like three people deep
Speaker 1: and people could watch no, maybe more people could watch
Speaker 1: a concert, but then you could also go up to
Speaker 1: the bar. It's behind like that pit. And at this
Speaker 1: concert was Beyonce and jay Z. I believe Gwyneth was there.
Speaker 1: I don't recall, but like Howard Stearns's wife was there,
Speaker 1: and John bon Jovi was there, and Jimmy Buffett and
Speaker 1: like there were major people there. And James Meyer, the
Speaker 1: chairman of Sirius Radio was there and he came up
Speaker 1: to me and he's like, oh my god, we love you.
Speaker 1: We need someone like you. Let's make this work. And
Speaker 1: I was super flattered and I felt great. John mcamroe
Speaker 1: was there and they had put on the concert but
Speaker 1: like it wasn't branded or you weren't aware of that.
Speaker 1: It was sort of just like a Hampton's concert. I
Speaker 1: saw a lot of people I knew that weren't on serious.
Speaker 1: Of course, Chris Cuomo's wife was there, whatever, there were
Speaker 1: just people there, so I there were three women that
Speaker 1: were sitting up on the wall behind that pit. So
Speaker 1: most of the of the club is behind that pit,
Speaker 1: and even behind the bar and around the bar like that.
Speaker 2: You probably could fit.
Speaker 1: I'm not good at this, maybe like fifty to seventy
Speaker 1: five people in there, and they're like several hundred people
Speaker 1: at this place. So the pit is just like where
Speaker 1: a certain group of people were, and a lot of
Speaker 1: them were more like gen pop like not the celebrities
Speaker 1: and same thing around there. And then there were other
Speaker 1: VIP areas.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I was just by the bar and on that wall
Speaker 1: there were these three women that a giant diamond airing
Speaker 1: seek win tops. Everyone else is in like T shirts
Speaker 1: and jeans, and the three of them were sitting up
Speaker 1: there and security kept asking them to get down because
Speaker 1: everyone in the club behind them couldn't see. So they
Speaker 1: were taking pictures and they were sitting there and I
Speaker 1: was there with this young girl and people around me
Speaker 1: who were all complaining. Even I forgot it was somebody famous,
Speaker 1: someone like famous was there that was complaining about it,
Speaker 1: like we couldn't see, and they one of the women.
Speaker 1: We later came to find out. One of the women
Speaker 1: was a very very wealthy real estate guy's daughter, and
Speaker 1: I knew her sisters, so that later became awkward in
Speaker 1: my just like I felt a little self conscious, but
Speaker 1: everybody's somebody, but she was this like wealthy real estate
Speaker 1: person's daughter. The other woman is a wealthy Hampton's woman
Speaker 1: and her husband was worked was very high up, if
Speaker 1: not the highest person up, and ended up working for Trump,
Speaker 1: worked right under Trump. That was the second rich woman,
Speaker 1: and then there was the third rich woman. So it
Speaker 1: was three rich women decked out diamonds and taking pictures
Speaker 1: and they looked wealthy, of you know, they just looked
Speaker 1: at I didn't know who they were, and there were
Speaker 1: a sea of people behind them that couldn't see, and
Speaker 1: security kept coming up and telling them to get down,
Speaker 1: and they would get done down. But this was a
Speaker 1: major concert with Coldplay. You can imagine people trying to
Speaker 1: get in and what was going on. So every time
Speaker 1: security would leave, they would get back up and we
Speaker 1: couldn't see, and they were looking behind us like entitled,
Speaker 1: sort of like smiling and taunting, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: Like they knew we were watching. They were like very
Speaker 1: like look what we got, like almost like kids. And
Speaker 1: it was really just it was like taunting. But everybody
Speaker 1: else was around me and no one did anything, and
Speaker 1: it was really really just bothering me. And I don't
Speaker 1: know why. It wasn't water. I think they didn't have
Speaker 1: big bottles of water. It wasn't a big cup of water,
Speaker 1: because I really just wanted to like throw water on them.
Speaker 1: But the bartender had like a minute made like twelve
Speaker 1: ounce orange juice. I don't know why they had that either.
Speaker 1: I guess they were pouring that in their vodka drinks.
Speaker 1: I can't recall, but I you know, like I said,
Speaker 1: it was a couple of people deep between the bar
Speaker 1: and these women sitting on this wall. They went going
Speaker 1: back up, and we would call security, other people. I
Speaker 1: never called security. Other people would call security, and then
Speaker 1: they kept getting back up and no one could see,
Speaker 1: and this young girl that I brought couldn't see. They
Speaker 1: were just blocking the main view. They were like bullseye
Speaker 1: in the center, so they could see Coldplay better than
Speaker 1: anyone else because they were sitting higher than even the
Speaker 1: pit in front of them. And I took the bottle
Speaker 1: of orange juice and one, two three, I splashed them
Speaker 1: all and like just walked away from that area, and
Speaker 1: I felt like exhilarated, and it was weird that I
Speaker 1: did it. It was like, how do you not know
Speaker 1: that that's not like, quote unquote the right thing to
Speaker 1: do in the world. Not everything needs to be said,
Speaker 1: not everything needs to be done. And I just felt
Speaker 1: like I walked around, but I felt like inside like
Speaker 1: lit up and like, oh my god. But it was
Speaker 1: sort of exhilarating, but I kind of knew I did
Speaker 1: something wrong. It was obviously gonna be what I was
Speaker 1: going to talk about the rest of the night. But
Speaker 1: like I'm a very strategic person, as you all know,
Speaker 1: I kind of don't act impulsively and rashly, and I
Speaker 1: just don't. I can't explain to you why. It was
Speaker 1: just it was so enraging and it was sort of
Speaker 1: everything wrong. Like you're already embarrassed when you're out in
Speaker 1: the Hamptons and you're going to markets and they're charging
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty dollars for lobster salid and you
Speaker 1: know that, like you're an asshole and you live in
Speaker 1: the Hamptons, and you know how everyone thinks about the Hamptons.
Speaker 1: And what's funny is that the Hampton's not unlike Nantucket
Speaker 1: or places like Aspen, where there are wealthy people. There
Speaker 1: are a lot of locals, Like there are a lot
Speaker 1: of people in Mantak that are fishermen that you know,
Speaker 1: live on minimum wage and really try to make ends meet.
Speaker 1: And there are a lot of local Hampton's people that
Speaker 1: live in the Springs and live in Montalk, I mean,
Speaker 1: and live in Hampton Bays and like the Hampton's has
Speaker 1: a great fishermen like Ocean Rescue, local community. There's a
Speaker 1: lot going on out here that's not just rich assholes
Speaker 1: coming in from the city, you know, bringing camera crews
Speaker 1: for Housewives and Kardashian shows and paying one hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty dollars for lobster. And actually Stephen's Talk House is
Speaker 1: kind of where that converges because it's like a local
Speaker 1: down and dirty bar, but it's respected like you know,
Speaker 1: other local down and dirty bars that are respected. Maybe
Speaker 1: it's like CBGB's in the city or something. I'm not
Speaker 1: good into music, but I know it's a local, respected bar,
Speaker 1: and that's why they get like the sizzle of a
Speaker 1: major act coming.
Speaker 2: And then the normal.
Speaker 1: Kids that work as golf caddies and bars whatever, they're
Speaker 1: so excited because they probably know the bartenders at at
Speaker 1: at Even's talk house, and so they get to go.
Speaker 1: And there was a lot of like I said, there
Speaker 1: were a lot of locals there at this concert, but
Speaker 1: then you had the assholes too, And of course the
Speaker 1: locals rely on the assholes because that's how they make
Speaker 1: money in the summer, and that's how the lifeguards and
Speaker 1: the restaurants and you know, it's it's just a commerce situation.
Speaker 1: But there was something about these three women, one of
Speaker 1: whom's one of whose husband worked for Trump and one
Speaker 1: who's like a big rich, new money real estate family
Speaker 1: and the big diamonds and a Sequins and like the
Speaker 1: g and it just was like it just seemed like
Speaker 1: everything wrong, and so I fucking doused him with orange juice,
Speaker 1: and I just I don't know why.
Speaker 2: I want to say I regret it, but I don't.
Speaker 1: I can't explain it like I may be wrong, so
Speaker 1: I'm just saying I'm not bigger than the game, and
Speaker 1: that that happened. And then then either the next day
Speaker 1: of the day after everybody it's serious, like Melissa and
Speaker 1: people were like silent, noticeably silent. And Andy would have
Speaker 1: made more money on my show, and he really wanted
Speaker 1: my show to happen. And they were so hot on it,
Speaker 1: obsessed with it, and they went quiet. And the reason
Speaker 1: was because not only did Sirius host that night, but
Speaker 1: the guy who worked for Trump, whose wife was sitting
Speaker 1: on that wall, he ran and did the first round
Speaker 1: of funding for Serious Radio because Page six wrote about it,
Speaker 1: and like you splashed the wrong person who was responsible
Speaker 1: for the money raised for Serious And that was the
Speaker 1: end of it. And here we are on iHeart. So
Speaker 1: I lived happily ever after you go with your gut.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't do it again. I wouldn't want my daughter
Speaker 1: to see that, you know. And I was with a
Speaker 1: young girl. So there are parts of it I don't love,
Speaker 1: and I do cringe a little when I tell the story.
Speaker 2: But that's the story.
