1:03

Traitor. This

1:05

is the Todd and Tyler Radio Empire. Did

1:07

the person that jumped off the Lamb of God

1:10

cruise, Lamb of God the band cruise, do that

1:13

because he realizes he's on a cruise featuring

1:15

Lamb of God? I don't think so. What?

1:20

Who's the band? Ah, I'm out of here. Yeah,

1:22

I think they probably- Sorry, Lamb of God fans.

1:24

Don't get pissed. The music sucks. I

1:26

get it. They have

1:28

their audience. It's hardcore, I know. Yeah, they

1:30

have their audience. Did they find a guy?

1:32

No. I'm guessing he was really drunk.

1:35

It's a thrash metal cruise, right? It's

1:38

probably a good theory. That's

1:40

a thrash metal cruise right there. Yeah.

1:43

41-year-old passenger, the headbangers boat cruise. Talk

1:46

about no chicks on a boat. You

1:48

better bring one with you, man. That

1:50

sounds like an awful time. It does.

1:53

Headbangers cruise. It sounds horrible. Depending on

1:55

the bands. If it's all hardcore,

1:57

I'm not really into it. Decent.

2:00

hard rock I can accept.

2:02

Well here's your line out. I

2:05

like to band accept. It

2:07

was Lamb of God, Mastodon,

2:09

Hate Breed, War, Shadows Fall,

2:12

God forbid, Fit for an

2:14

Autopsy, Testament, Municipal Waste, Lacuna

2:17

Coil, Gate Creeper, Violence,

2:19

Malevolence, Bleed from Within

2:21

and Dying Wish. There

2:23

were 97% dudes. And

2:27

80% goth chicks man. And

2:31

one less dude when they got back.

2:33

How big are Gwar's suitcases? That's

2:37

a good point. I was in

2:39

Lawrence, Kansas and I walked past that theater that people

2:41

were waiting in line to see Cannibal Corpse. Remember I

2:44

told you that. Yeah. I forgot

2:46

to open up that tour, another one of those crazy brands you mentioned right there.

2:49

And they had all of those people, you

2:52

know, it was all dudes. It was

2:54

all dudes man. Yeah, they-

2:56

If you used a Metallica show which featured-

2:58

Clicked it on board tattooing. Of

3:00

course they did. Of course you tattooed on the ship. Yeah.

3:03

Shit. Authorities notified Search and Rescue

3:05

was underway. This was Friday morning they found

3:08

out about this. I love how they had

3:10

to describe the guy. He looked like a

3:12

guy at a metal

3:14

cruise. Okay. Yeah. Narrow

3:17

that down. They'd stand

3:20

up comedy on the ship. Frank Castillo and Steve

3:22

Furey. Don't know them. No.

3:26

It's Steve Furey. You think if he's like a metal

3:28

guy he would just go with Fury. Yeah. How

3:30

did Florentine and Jameson miss out on that gig?

3:34

I think they like bands like Melodies. They

3:36

like bands. They're a

3:38

little more discriminate. They hang out with these.

3:40

They've had some of these bands- They wouldn't

3:42

be out of place there. No,

3:44

they wouldn't. Lamb God,

3:46

Mastodon, Hatebreeze. They've had some of those bands. They

3:48

were on that metal show back in the day.

3:50

One day you'd make fun of those bands over

3:53

a period of time. How could

3:55

you tell one band started, one band stopped? But they'd also

3:57

take the money for the gig. Yeah, well they're both pretty

3:59

bad. busy guys. But

4:02

yeah I guess I saw a follow-up to this I

4:04

think it was Sunday or something and they had they

4:07

were they had called off search and rescue. He

4:09

suspended the operation. I don't think they were gonna

4:11

find him. No

4:14

he's not. He's down there treading

4:16

water. I think he went out like he wanted to. Yeah

4:18

I think you're right. It

4:20

says survival rates depend on several factors including

4:22

whether the person was injured by impact with

4:24

the water or part of the ship on

4:26

the way down, how quickly the

4:29

person could be rescued. Sharks. Wind and

4:31

weather factors also play a role if

4:33

seas are rough it not only makes

4:35

it difficult for a person to swim

4:37

and also tougher emergency staff to find

4:39

them. Other factors temperature of the

4:41

sea hypothermia can begin to set in when

4:43

the water is anything less than 70 degrees.

4:46

It's pretty warm there even right now.

4:49

I would think. Yeah. It sounds

4:51

like cool that Steve Furey has like a

4:54

video on his Instagram of people just mashing

4:56

on a cruise ship. It's weird

4:58

it's all like tropical and there's like

5:00

boom. I know. Yeah. But then

5:02

he got on stage two they didn't want to hear that Nick. Come

5:05

on man. Shut up bring on hate

5:07

bleed or something like that you know. Yeah hopefully

5:09

there's a separate room. Bring on bleed for my

5:11

ass is coming up next. I love bleed for

5:13

my ass. If I had to open for something

5:16

like that I would just cuss a lot. Yeah.

5:18

That's all you gotta do. Just say the F

5:20

for it a whole bunch. You would be well

5:22

within your rights right there. Smack

5:24

yourself a little bit. That might be a

5:27

crowd you can smack. The municipal waste crowd

5:29

really loves that. Smack

5:32

yourself. Municipal waste

5:34

is the name of a band? Yeah they

5:36

were on the cruise. Municipal waste. Not

5:40

to be confused with gate creeper. Water

5:42

off Miami's in the 80s right now.

5:46

But still wind and. Well there was a guy. Remember the

5:48

guy. There was a guy that fell off a regular

5:50

cruise. Not a Lamb of God cruise. It

5:52

treaded water for 24 hours remember that. He thought of

5:55

his daughter the whole time. Yeah. That guy made it.

5:57

They found him. I mean this happened.

6:00

four hours, like a year ago, yeah. His

6:02

son was like, didn't even think about me? I

6:04

don't think he had a son. Just my sister,

6:06

huh? Okay. This

6:09

guy's out there treading water. 24 hours. Thinking

6:11

how he's missing bleed from my ass. You were coming up

6:13

next, you know. Those ships move

6:15

so fast. If you don't see

6:17

somebody immediately, it ain't just a long shot. That's exactly

6:19

right. Unless they can tread water for, you know, a

6:21

day. And the incident happened. The cruise

6:23

was notified that someone had gone overboard at

6:26

3.45 a.m. Friday morning. Of

6:29

course it was, man. It was

6:31

dark, and good chance that dude

6:33

was hammered. Oh,

6:36

it said security was chasing him. Oh.

6:39

Well, this guy's a hero. Get away from security.

6:42

He went overboard. Oh, well,

6:45

bad choice. But I'm

6:47

still going to bet he was hammered. I hope he knows

6:50

something. He had to be on something. I hope

6:52

he screams something. Have been triumphant on his way

6:54

over there. Right. Heavy

6:57

on the high seas. Sold out. He yelled whatever

7:00

band his favorite band is, and he yelled rocks after that, and

7:02

when he flew over there. That was

7:04

firework. Massadon! Rocks.

7:06

Massadon Rocks, you know. The advantage

7:09

to being the Gwar guys is they are the only ones that

7:11

can walk around the ship all day and

7:14

not get mobbed. Yeah,

7:16

that crew is probably going to recognize some of those people, but a lot

7:18

of guys are going to be in the same course. But

7:21

more than any of the other bands, they, you know, they

7:23

take off the Gwar stuff. Yeah. I

7:26

mean, oh, yeah. I bet there's a good portion of

7:28

people who don't know what they look like without all

7:30

the Gwar stuff on. Are there the four original guys

7:32

in those outfits? Oh, I don't think so. Yeah. I

7:35

think that's been a revolving door. It's a singer, please. You

7:37

know? Oh, they're like Minuto. Yeah. I

7:40

don't think they're full of Puerto Rican boys inside there. No. But

7:43

whatever. Same thing. Same deal.

7:46

Same concept. That's surprising. No,

7:49

yeah. I'm just expected. There's

7:52

a laundry list of dudes who have been

7:54

in Gwar for a time

7:56

or... And there's not an original guy at all? I watched a

7:58

documentary of them just so like... because they

8:00

could lifestyle for people just in the

8:02

bay it's just like this thing that stays alive. Yeah,

8:05

regardless of how the people do it. Well, those

8:08

topics they could continue and it's a Cookie Monster

8:10

vocals, isn't it? Oh yeah.

8:12

Okay, so you're right. It isn't like the vocalists give

8:14

it all sound the same anyway, right? I'd love to

8:16

see Gwar. And there's one... Not on

8:18

the boat with all those other bands, would you? Yeah,

8:21

I'm probably not dead. No, one night.

8:23

Yeah. Yeah. Just

8:25

the one off course. I'm surprised Mastodon was even on

8:28

this. I googled it, but this article comes up from

8:30

their front, their lead singer just says, I hate heavy

8:32

metal. So

8:34

he's surrounded by heavy metal. Yeah. He

8:37

thought it was rebellious to start playing heavy music

8:39

and now they know who they are. He likes

8:41

a good cruise and a paycheck. Yeah.

look, there's going to be a shortage of welders. VR

8:57

training can help welding students learn the

8:59

skills they need to begin and advance

9:17

Yeah, it looks like there's a couple of guys that have

9:19

been in since the late 80s, but the

9:22

band is credited starting in 85. I

9:24

know they've been around the 80s, yeah. Oh

9:27

yeah, the original Odorous Orungus died in

9:29

2014. They

9:31

burped in that outfit. I hope so.

9:33

Yeah. I hope so. Voir's bad

9:36

ass. Yeah, now the lead singer blowthar the

9:38

berserker. You know any other song to make?

9:40

Nope. Here do I. I

9:42

just know they dress like heavy metal dinosaurs. Yeah, this is

9:44

crazy looking outfits. They are. They

9:46

are really. They slipknot. We just

9:49

put on a match. These guys

9:51

have full on outfits. They're like

9:53

prosthetics. Right. They have

9:55

to stink. Oh yeah. All

9:59

The stuff they do in the. Well, and even the ban.

10:01

Course, the ban probably does suck asylum in

10:03

either. What's. A headliner on that is

10:05

a Lamb of God. Yeah, oh my

10:07

God. For hims the headliner there are

10:14

Said birds Cruz was completely sold out with

10:16

people that were there for it was is

10:18

never far the boat right I wonder what

10:20

most cruz right the whole both yeah I

10:22

seen whether or not that one could fill

10:24

the entire both. It would say what did

10:26

the website for their crews had a zipper

10:28

sobell? Oh okay maybe well be that would

10:31

be good job was to imagine being on

10:33

a boat where the one corner the boat

10:35

speech or that crap shoot and have and

10:37

everyone I know or maybe get on the

10:39

other an everyday users here is turn the

10:41

morning Mara yeah that's probably true. Everyday.

10:43

it's tough to sell that out for people

10:46

that aren't there for that. Our damn, and

10:48

how do you know us here Sea sick

10:50

on that cruiser? You just hate everything. All

10:53

day. On

10:57

where the tyler it's modern out just

10:59

hates of whatever they want to feel

11:01

sick. I hate everything kids. All metal

11:03

is just about beating each other's ass

11:05

right. That hardening were like that the

11:08

as soon as hard as extreme version

11:10

or is of metal yeah be an

11:12

already beauty and then. Just haven't some

11:14

smelly fifty year old smashing up against the

11:16

war. I mean that is out there with

11:18

that crowd. Israel if emotional. but think of

11:20

that crowd gets older to so how many

11:22

guys are in her mid fifties? Is your

11:24

head banging? I am on that. No, no,

11:27

not be whittled. Very Martian. Your.

11:29

Monsters your you start martian your forties and

11:32

fifties you get hurt that where they tell

11:34

ya you'd jump if you can hang man

11:36

a. Matter.

11:40

of to handle this there's a trip as

11:42

well as i noted good aggie jokes are

11:44

we get it this weekend and mattel i

11:47

don't see them attack the metallic audience is

11:49

getting into their forties and fifties and all

11:51

easily easily add every metallic guess if your

11:53

parents metallic and your the same age those

11:56

guys your the early sixties yell and at

11:58

there were there was the occasion pit

12:00

that would break out on the floor. Yeah, because I

12:02

saw how that big thing is. It's more just jumping

12:04

up and down. Like we saw the pictures of the

12:09

famous actor, a water- Oh, Momoa. Momoa

12:11

is down there. Yeah. Yeah. They're

12:14

not really bagging into each other. No, they're- They're jumping

12:16

down. A few times I saw, you know, here and

12:18

there, there'd be a small mosh pit that would break

12:20

out for a little while and during one song, but

12:22

never more than about one song. And then it's like,

12:24

all right, break time. I'm done.

12:27

Yeah, people are really going, okay. All right. I'm

12:30

47. That's enough. I got kicked

12:32

in the head. I'm 47. I

12:34

already got a bad shoulder. I don't need this. The

12:37

thing about metal mosh pits that gets

12:39

me is all of those people in

12:41

it probably hated playing football. Yes.

12:43

Or any, but they're like, ugh. Well,

12:46

they do some stuff to mess each other up.

12:48

Many of them weren't coordinated enough to play football.

12:50

They're not athletes. True, too. But

12:52

they're swinging their boots around, you know, it's always,

12:54

it was a crazy bit, a little less ability

12:57

to just smash them with a pin. I love

12:59

the wind pit. I just love it. They call

13:01

it the winded mosh pit, you know? Like every

13:03

little section is a go, okay, okay, we're tired.

13:05

Let's just listen to the band. I

13:07

think quite honestly, I think the

13:09

crowd got probably rowdiest during Pantera.

13:11

I thought they would, you

13:13

know, because that's more of a headbanging. That's more when you

13:15

beat each other up, you know? Yeah. I

13:18

mean, Pantera was heavy the whole time. Yeah,

13:21

they're thrashed the whole way. Metallica's got a little ebb and

13:24

flow to the tempo. Yeah.

13:27

And the band's the blackout and they've all, they

13:29

have, they stop and they get melody. Yeah. They're

13:32

more of a regular rock band. It's sold

13:34

out. Is there a name for Metallica fans?

13:36

I'm looking at a list now from Ultimate

13:38

Classic Rock. No, not really. Fierce fan bases

13:40

of rock and roll, what they call them.

13:43

I don't think, no, I don't think Metallica fans just

13:45

are Metallica fans. What do they call guar heads? War

13:48

is not mentioned on here. I think they have

13:51

the insane clown or bossy. I don't know. I'm

13:53

not really thinking. They're not really done. They're not

13:55

bossy's rap, though. They're not military warriors. Duh. These

13:58

are all different kinds of bands. You

14:00

know, we had to get all the drug

14:02

aloes on there apparently five-fingered death puncher knuckleheads.

16:01

the way, check those out. They were on

16:03

after Municipal Waste. They were on that tour.

16:05

Municipal Waste sounds like they bought a truck

16:07

that had it on there and it was

16:09

a company and they said, ah, that's

16:11

our name. We can't afford to have it repainted, so

16:13

that's just the name of the band now. We're

16:16

Municipal Waste. Stupid.

16:20

I like it. We're going to get a

16:22

lot of emails about, oh, I love Municipal

16:24

Waste. The second time, I'm kind of sucked.

16:26

I'm a wastey. You know what? Given

16:30

the right circumstances, I would go see

16:32

Gwar one time just to

16:34

experience the spectacle. What are they, Nick? Interplanetary

16:37

what? Barbaric

16:39

warriors? Of course you are. Yeah,

16:42

barbaric interplanetary warriors. Yeah, I

16:44
