Patreon Preview #342: Chatterbox 29

How was the Oasis concert?

It fucking ruled.

Is that right?

Tell us everything.

So I saw them in 2006, I want to say, at the UIC Pavilion in Chicago, and that was the tour that they

split on.

Like at some point during the tour, they were just like, we've had it.

And so I was like, oh, this is like Zeppelin or Floyd.

Like, they're never going to, it's done.

Like, these, these two are.

Well, so if you don't know about Oasis, these are two brothers that hate each other with every fiber of their being.

Two people have never hated each other more than the Oasis brothers and their little hate film fun fest.

And that's the thing is, I'm so big fan of them all throughout the 90s and in college and everything.

To me, the sort of backstory of like they're brothers from Manchester.

They cannot stand each other.

They write very very good music.

And to me, they're the last like rock stars.

You know how people say, or articles will say like George Clooney, once George Clooney passes the last of like the Hollywood star dies or whatever.

I feel that way about specifically Liam Gallagher.

I feel like Liam Gallagher is the last remaining rock star.

That tracks.

I would say I can endorse that.

Yeah.

And people have been saying that about Oasis for like a long time.

Yeah.

But we went to Shoulder Field where they played.

I think, uh, on this reunion tour, they're playing New York, no, New Jersey, Chicago, LA, maybe.

Those are the only three U.S.

states.

Wild.

So I'm at Soldier Field, absolutely killer show.

They sounded fantastic.

Don't Look Back in Anger was one of the highlights.

I mean, I love that song, but I feel like that was the one that everyone really sang along to, where I thought it might be like Wonder Wall.

Ended the show with Champagne Supernova, killer, killer show.

Absolutely delightful.

I love Oasis.

I think Oasis is a great band, but I also think that I don't, like, I don't have much of a desire to see them live.

Gotcha.

Unless I think, like, if the tour had gone to other cities and I had heard, oh, it's a meltdown between these two.

They are not having it with each other on this tour.

Then I would be like, yes, I will go see that.

Well, we should say.

I don't know how long ago this was, eight years or something?

This is pre-Hay Riddle, I think.

JPC and I went to La Paloozoo that's right because a friend of uh

mine and now JPC is as well plays in um Liam Gallagher's band and he got us artist passes so we were like hanging out in the artist pass area yeah and liam was going on with that band and he went on at la paloozo played i want to say one song and then stormed off stage because he said like the he was like speakers were his monitor he was like he was played like half a song i it was like maybe maybe they played three songs yeah but the whole time he was like stopping in the middle of songs to be like the monitors the monitors and then he just left the stage and they didn't start off stage the the the band with our friend was just kind of left on stage and then slowly followed and then our friend was like yeah we didn't get we had to return our money for

we didn't get paid that was all a wash it's so crazy that they didn't get paid for that show simply because of Like, if you're the Gallagher brother, you've probably made enough money.

You're probably like, well, whatever.

You know, it's like, I've got a lot of money.

But if you're just also

the guy who's like drumming in that band, you're like, I would have like to have that money.

I mean,

I'm going to use that.

I'm here.

I can't.

And fly to Chicago.

Like,

I'm from England.

I would like to get the money, please.

Aaron, would you believe shortly after that fiasco, JPC and I hopped in some golf carts with our friend Drew and were driven all the way to the opposite end of La Plooza to stand on stage during Lord's set.

Oh boy.

Which was eventually rained out.

Oh, boy.

But the parts when it wasn't rain were fun as hell.

How many people did you knock over like bowling pins with your golf cart?

Eight or nine.

That's not a strike, but I think it's so funny because that was the first time I've ever been VIP at a concert and absolutely like ruined my experience for the future.

But they put you in a golf cart because Lollapalooza, I've been to Lollapalooza and non-VIP before and you just like wade through a sea of bodies to get to the next stage.

But they just put you in a golf cart and like drive you on an outside track that they built around Grant Park.

And it's like, oh, you never see a soul.

Like you never see or have to interact with a single other person.

It's like truly such a wild way to experience a concert.

And it wasn't even VIP, it was artist pass.

So there was a VIP area and then beyond that was the artist area.

And in the artist area, there's all this stuff where it's like.

Vans has a little pop-up and you walk in and you're like, I want those shoes.

And they're like, here you go.

And then you're like, I own these now.

There's no, I didn't pay anything.

They're just my shoes now.

Just kind of fun.

Nobody, no, nobody was like, hey, this guy can't have the shoes.

He's not very cool.

Like, I didn't have to be cool.

Like, it was, it was not an issue that I wasn't very cool.

I just get the shoes.

I just get the shoes.

I still have a Twix koozie that I, which is.

Look at that.

Look that.

Yeah.

It could lead to something pretty serious.

I realized saying Twix koozie is like, there's a non-zero.

I'm not going to explain what I mean when I say I have a Twix koozie because there is a non-zero chance that like 50% of people won't understand what that means

i'm getting an absolutely blank stare from aaron so yeah i was just thinking i was like i'm trying to think of what would be a uh it's funny if it is something twix koozie sounds like

like a really hard sex move

if i was telling a friend at a bar that i got a twix koozie he'd be like hey man there's like kids around here not kids because it's a bar but just say to menage trois

um well there's three of us speaking of and let's all open some boxes of questions and we promised we'd never talk about our threesome ever again because it was too good.

Right, fellas?

We solved riddles the whole time.

And it didn't go the way you all think it went.

And I want everyone to comment a number in the comments on our Patreon.

It was still one to 10 of how surprised you would be if we had one threesome in 2018.

And I want you to comment below

who you thought came first, who came second, who came third, or not at all.

Yeah, it would be JBC came first,

and then I a third, and the two of us didn't come at all.

We know how that would go.

I came first, second, and third, and then I said, I'm done.

I need a towel to the sandwich.

You were like, it's, we're six minutes in, man.

This was supposed to be like, we cleared our afternoon.

I came first, second, and third, and then I needed a towel and a sandwich in that order, please.

I want to tell you about butter help.

jealous much new coat new shirt new pants adult you didn't get those from the emperor did you

uh no i think that guy was actually not wearing any clothes oh i knew it and everyone says he was, and I knew he wasn't.

I felt like I knew he wasn't.

Interesting that my experience with the Emperor's clothes are awesome.

Addle, your clothes look fantastic.

They look like very expensive.

That must have costed you an arm and a leg.

Uh, no, uh, actually, we don't pay with limbs, we pay with money, but this was actually very cheap in terms of money.

This is from Quince, my good lady.

I love Quince.

Quince has the kind of fall staples you'll wear non-stop.

Like super soft, 100% Mongolian cashmere sweaters.

Touch, please, touch.

Starting at just $60.

That's bonkers.

$60?

Yeah, $60.

Their denim is durable and fits right, and their real leather jackets bring the clean, classic edge without the elevated price tag.

I have sheets from Quince.

I got a skirt from Quince.

I love Quince.

On the walk over here, wearing Quince, a bunch of photographers were like, who is that guy?

That's clearly like someone's little brother, like Nathan, Nathan Levi's cousin or something.

Taller, younger brother.

And what makes Quince different?

Well, they partner directly with Ethical Factories and skip the middlemen.

So you get top-tier fabrics and craftsmanship at half the price of similar brands.

And middlemen are flipping out about it.

I saw a middleman on the phone in a parking lot tearing the hair out of his head.

He was so mad at Quince.

Is he okay?

No, he looks really distressed.

Personally, I love my lightweight hoodie.

I think it's like perfect for the cooler weather.

It's like, it's kind of the in-between hoodie that you can get between like, you know, a fall jacket and, you know, your summer clothes.

It's, it's awesome.

It's like a must-have staple of my wardrobe.

And I got my eye on some boots at Quince for the fall.

Just a tall boot.

I haven't had one of those like riding boots in a minute, and I'm excited.

I might get them in black or maybe like a chocolate color.

Come back to me.

Come back to me.

Sounds good, friends.

Puts on sunglasses.

Adel, I have got Erin on a joke website.

I'm about to sell her chocolate boots.

I think she's going to walk around.

Yum, yum, yum, yum.

I will stay and watch this.

Mum, yum, yum.

Eats them like Cookie Monster.

Here's our first, let's unwrap this question here.

This is from John the Meh.

Great name.

What are each of your favorite Arnie Parrott songs that he's written for the show?

Love that question.

Wow, that is a great question.

An embarrassment of riches.

Wow.

This is hard.

I need them all lined up next to each other.

I mean, you could go on his SoundCloud and just look at all of his songs because they're all on his.

And for people who don't know, check out Arnie's SoundCloud if you want to see, like, because every time we make him do a Red Overidal thing,

he posts it there.

Oh, I have three.

Aaron, what are your three?

Okay, my three are

the first D and D theme.

The bumper up and doodley.

Idlely, Addley, JPC.

Hey,

Fiddy Key.

Yeah, that one.

That one is so good.

The Lord of Beef.

It's so funny.

So will Joastus in the church with a

and a tentacle.

And then I think my number one favorite of all time is the Riddle High Get Bent.

And not just because I'm on that one, but because I think that is the catchiest one.

The lyric, we're just some children, and we're figuring it out as we go, is so funny.

Figuring it out as we go is my favorite.

But my favorite lyric from an Arnie Parrott original, it comes from

the Wet, Wet Waters theme, where he says, You'll never be your father.

So it's wet, wet

waters for me.

And the reason why I love that is it's like, it is kind of apropos of nothing.

Like

the idea of fatherhood and attendance at a water park have nothing to do with one another.

It's just, it's just, that line always tickles me so much.

Musha exclusive items being paired to it.

I think

I do, I am now inspired to go back and listen to all his stuff, but I think I have to go with the Mui Classico favorite riddle theme.

It's just the bup-bup bup up.

Like that is just so catchy.

Yeah.

Okay.

Kind of a compound answer.

Well,

I am a compound to think of.

Real quick, can I mention just

the one that because I'm just looking through the entire list?

Obviously,

so many really, really good ones, so many fun ones.

One that I forgot about until looking at the list is the wake-up theme from the JPC 9000 series.

That one I love so much.

It's so much different than any of the other fun things.

Which, I mean, all of Arnie's music is, you know, like a great pastiche of a genre or whatever.

But that one in particular, I think, is just like genuinely quite beautiful.

I remember when I commissioned Arnie for that one, I gave him like very little instruction.

I gave him kind of like, hey, something like this, like thematically thing.

And he came up with that.

And it didn't really...

It like most of his stuff kind of references directly what we're talking about.

And that one, he just kind of went with a vibe.

And I think that that turned out so, so well.

Oh, yeah.

Man, I had forgotten about that until you mentioned it, Casey.

That's that's a that's a great addition.

Yeah, I might even fuck it.

I might even let that stay in the episode.

Whoa, whoa, Casey.

That stays, man.

Wow, crazy.

You never get one that stays.
