He gave me hot takes 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:16.279 on music, which was mostly you just kind of shitting 0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:21.040 on everything that wasn't sort of emo pop Jason or 0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:22.680 came out of Burke or the Beatles, came out of 0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:23.479 Burkeer the Beatles. 0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:26.120 It's true Berkeley to the Beatles. Then memoir of John Taylor. 0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:29.800 Yeah, Greg was sort of more Greg and Jack was 0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:32.479 sort of more around our age, closer to our age. 0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:35.760 Yeah right, and so we did silly stuff. 0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:37.839 It was cool what happened. 0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:41.600 But I back to your point of not knowing anything. 0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:45.080 John Taylor taught you how to use microwave. 0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:48.520 Yeah yeah, which we mentioned in part one. We didn't get. 0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:50.719 See, this is this year we can unbock some things 0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:52.479 that we brushed over and please one. 0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:54.279 So here's the real story. 0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:59.880 Greg lovely Greg, incredible family, incredible parents. Greg is allergic 0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:02.880 to almost everything. So for one of his birthdays, I 0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:05.640 made Greg a business card that lists all of his 0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:07.800 allergies so that when he's abroad he could hand that 0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:09.480 or anywhere he could hand that to a waiter. 0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:11.760 Because I love Greg that has all of his allergies. 0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:14.000 Gifts, I'm allergic to all these things. Please give this 0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:16.440 to the death. I think I gave him five hundred 0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:19.880 of those business cards had a great cartoon version of 0:07:19.880 --> 0:07:22.520 Greg on it, the cars Dude, and so it was 0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:25.040 foods that the groove Dude approves. So Greg had never 0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:28.080 cooked food, he'd never done laundry. He went home every 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:30.560 weekend from Seaton Hall to stay with his folks because 0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:32.600 that was a safe place to be because of the 0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:35.960 sold world's dangerous for a guy like Greg, so flash 0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:41.000 he's trying. He's trying to, you know, bring himself in 0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:44.200 and acclimate to an environment on the road, and we're 0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:45.000 helping him through that. 0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:47.080 I was maybe a little aggressive and a bit of 0:07:47.120 --> 0:07:48.800 a bull and you didn't bully him at all. No, 0:07:48.880 --> 0:07:53.760 I sure know. I come from a family of four. 0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:56.040 I'm the third of four, and I grew up in 0:07:56.040 --> 0:07:58.240 a neighborhood of the thousand people in it. And bullying 0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:00.680 is it's a little bit in there. It toughens the 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:03.120 skin a bit, thickens it up. So Greg he takes 0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:05.600 it upon himself. He's hungry. We're on the tour bus 0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:08.040 and I watch him and I just observe, almost like 0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:10.200 a guy on a safari watching an animal who's just 0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:10.680 been born. 0:08:11.080 --> 0:08:13.880 And he reaches into the cupboard. I'm like, oh, what's 0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:14.200 he doing. 0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:16.040 We're on a tour bus, right, And he pulls a 0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:19.160 can of spaghettios out of the cupboard and he glances 0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:22.280 at the can, doesn't certainly doesn't read the instructions whatever. 0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:25.440 He opens the microwave, but I read on the can 0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:29.200 microwave for three minutes. Yes, but for some reason. 0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:33.559 There's a lawsuit into the microwave. I'm still watching it 0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:35.120 at this point. My eyebrows are up. I'm like, oh, 0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:39.440 this is good. For some reason, he doesn't press three minutes. 0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:42.840 He just hits like the you know, rapid start button whatever, 0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:44.000 and it goes for one minute. 0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:46.680 And I'm watching him and he's whoa, whoa, and the 0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:48.679 sparks start flying up. I'm like, Greg, Greg, turn the 0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:49.960 front of the mic I let him get all the. 0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:52.880 Way there, because sometimes you gotta let the kid to 0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:54.840 touch the flame before you pull him from the phone. 0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:57.559 Part of you that was was curious what would happen 0:08:57.679 --> 0:08:59.520 to him in the scenario or. 0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:03.440 Was it just a by arresting the scenario that was 0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:06.400 happening at the time was probably selfishly motivated because if 0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:08.840 the microwave broke, I wouldn't be able to microwave my 0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:11.400 four hundred Totinos pizza roles that I was gonna. 0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:13.000 Eat after the show. 0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:16.160 So h you know, because I've gone through some phases, guys, 0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:18.480 I was, I was. I was housing maybe five thousand 0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:20.880 calories of frozen food a day back then. 0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:23.680 Also, John, once on the bus you drank like ten 0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:26.880 water bottles of water in like ten minutes. 0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:30.480 I think we had to pull the bus over.
