Y'all heard me yell at them when day of the line-up announcement put Queens of the Stone Age on the what?

They didn't do it. No one's listening to me right now. No one's listening to me the band

The festival organizers the directors they're not listening to me they're listening to everybody else, but not me

For Bonnarooians there is Christmas there is lineup

Day, and then there is schedule day. It's schedule week. So this is like the biggest

Day or week whatever you want to call it of the year right guys. It's one of them. Yeah, it definitely is

It dropped right as our last episode dropped to almost the exact same time

So we're just now getting to it and I'm happy to do it. Yeah, I was supposed to come out last Tuesday

They had a little delay or something. Not sure but they put it out on Wednesday, which was same day

Our episode came out. So alright, you guys are listening obviously to the what podcast I'm Barry. That's Bryan. That's Lord taco or Russ

We're going to talk about the lineup we've have a whole bunch of other news we've got some events

Something we have plenty to talk about but we're going to dive into the lineup

Not the deep deep dive because we haven't still done our

Deep dive into the axe, but we're going to go through the lineup

Quick correction from a couple of weeks ago, and I want to thank we probably have the most

We probably have the most

highly paid

fact checker that I know of

He's not quick. He's not fast

But he gets back to us as he said your two-week old fact checker Brad Parker reached out

To let us know we don't we don't pay them to be clear. We don't pay. Yeah, we don't pay him

I couldn't afford the guy

But he is our fact checker as he pointed out in a text that he sent me

That Plaza seven is not the farthest away from

Earth as we

Indicated in a show a couple of weeks ago. It's actually right there by the

The tower it's probably the closest one to Centeroo. Yeah, it's still not right

That close to Centeroo at all

Closest to it's closer than

Then then I certainly made it sound

Anybody who is around here regularly?

For this show or anything else in my life if it's a deal-breaker that I get things wrong then you're done

You're out of here. You're never gonna listen to show again

I

my head

seven one two three four five six seven

Yeah, yeah, I'm thinking further. I'm thinking closer out to

Bushy Branch Road, I think the house of yes might be out there fact check me. I don't know maybe that's somewhere else

Y'all got Plaza seven thing wrong. It's closest Plaza to tower entrance. It's near a lot all caps

Okay, and that's Nashville Plaza, so not not not gonna argue there at all. Yeah

Are you with him certainly

Well, all you got to do is look at the map it is pretty much right next to Plaza five

You say that like we should have looked at the map. I mean, well, that's true

Should have looked at the map, but well, that's what I'm saying

All you got to do is look at the map, but it is it's still my I guess

I'm still having trouble with the who stage being out now. That's kind of where I was at with all that one

Yeah, yeah, yeah, no I get that I get that but we want to we try very hard to be correct and correct us if we're not

Please by all means do no problem

You know admitting that we got something. Yeah. Yeah, I want to be right and if we're not let's get it, right

So you go out there and listen to banjo players in the bluegrass act on the who stage in Plaza seven

So there you go. If you know what we're talking about, you know what we're talking about. It's gonna be a big time

Yeah, it's not quite all the way BFE I mean it is pretty central so it's it's no further out than group for sure

All right. So the big news and we're gonna jump right into it is the lineup came out

We know the schedule came out sketch. Excuse me. Excuse me schedule lineup has been out the schedule came out

So now is when we all start doing our where are our conflicts? We start making our

Plans for how each day is gonna fall

And as we've said a hundred times since we began this show

Make your schedule make you line up put it on paper laminate it

Look at it stare at it memorize it and then forget. Yeah, and then don't never happen. Yeah

As we record this on Easter morning, what's the old saying?

We plan God laughs. Yeah

Like that's kind of what this is gonna be about but it's still a really fun exercise

I'm speaking of laminating our friend Lindsay put out his annual

Printable schedules that he always makes every year and he put that on reddit

So that's a good place to start if you're looking to make a like a physical copy like like we sometimes do well

I used to be my only

contribution to

Camp nut butter was the

But it was always wrong many times it was wrong. Yes. Hey, there you go

Taco the callback. Yeah, it was I missed several bands cuz my damn on-site schedule was

primitive times though guys

Pick it up and look and say that's not today. That's tomorrow

That was last night. Yeah, that was there was a bad

There was a bad year where I really screwed things up for a lot of people real fast before we're gonna talk

I'm gonna just give you a look back at sweet water 420 for Saturday this past weekend

And my voice is wrecked because of it. So I apologize for that, but we'll continue for now

It's alright mine still a little bit sore and raw from

dogs in a pile show that we went to that we'll talk about also at the end, but

Let's get into this lineup or the sketch

Schedule yeah

First thoughts

First thoughts. Well, there's a lot of them. I went day by day here on them

I guess I looked a lot of Outeroo too. I I looked at the Outeroo schedule more

Than I've maybe ever looked at it. Uh-huh me too. Yeah, and

Boy, it's cool, you know, I don't know what half of this stuff is

But it's it's really cool and I'll just say as we

We have our printables out here together and kind of going through them and I'm just starting from day one

I mean on Wednesday just a shout out to the robust guys and all and gals and all them

I mean they what they've turned in or made Wednesday

I mean they've kind of I don't want to say single-handedly because no one's single-handedly does anything at Bonnaroo

But they've really really made Wednesday pretty destination

a destination for many and and they're a big part of that

So they got a big big robust party on Wednesday

I'm really glad you you sort of said that and said it the way you did because I had the same thought the Outeroo

Schedule to me is the more interesting for some reason this year and the fact that it starts on Wednesday

And you know, we've said it on here many many times but

What it's amazing how much these guys Brad Parker our buddy who everybody like I said everybody

Dropped his name like they like he lives in their house. He's become that sort of ubiquitous. Yeah

Testaments him to be so accessible to so many people absolutely, but it's amazing

They listen and how much this event has

Changed think about it. I mean Bryan again

You and I have been going for a long long time

17 18 years for me you since the beginning think about how this has changed and that Outeroo schedule

Line up whatever you want to call it. It is indicative of what we're talking about

I mean just the fact that there is a

printed schedule of events on Wednesday and how how curated it's it's gotten and how much work people put into it like

The house of yes on Wednesday, right the waffle house of yes. The hell is that?

sounds cool

Frick frack blackjack where apparently you can go and gamble just about anything gamble anything

You can gamble this this this ink pen around if you want I guess an old boat

You know your clothes whatever when when reddit first started talking about the Frick frack blackjack

I was like what the hell y'all talking about? Yeah, they were so excited whoever they is they were so excited and they're doing multiple

Rounds of yeah the blackjack out in the Outeroo

So if that's what I mean, that's a great way to end your night, right?

You've had a great day you go back and you can go watch people gamble lose all your

All the candy they can't come in your trinkets. Yeah, yeah

You can lose it all the stuff all that you gather throughout the day

Put it all in the middle of the table push it all to the front and they hit me and I know house

Yes, they've got a lot of things planned the Rue Lask and the wet nightmare, which is a great name by the way

Yeah, that's just Wednesday. So and that's just Wednesday. Yeah, that's a full day and and I'm glad you mentioned

Daniel and Sharla and the Rue bus and all their crew. I

Mean that that's a full

Festival in and of itself it goes all day long

starting at four o'clock with

With the totem stuff and then and then and artists and I'm guessing most of these are DJ style things

I just I don't know but it goes all day. So and it ends at

One o'clock with confirmed which I'm dying to know is that like a typo that they've just confirmed something or that tonight?

That's that's an in joke because everyone remember every year everyone always says Oh deaf punk confirmed

I figured it was some sort of job a daft punk cover band or tribute tribute

Let's back let's back up and go back to Tuesday

I mean we don't have an Outeroo Tuesday lineup, but some people in our discord have posted a few

Unofficial Tuesday events that they're trying to push out there

tacos dance party

Party at the Rue at the bus

True Tuesday meet at the arch Tuesday at 6 o'clock p.m

It just says bring energy. So I guess that's kind of just like a if you're there Tuesday

You got nothing else to do. You might as well meet up. That's at the arch and then somebody posted something Tuesday night

Night zero a live DJ set and all levels of yoga

There's says meet in group at 8 p.m. For the sunset yoga 830 to 930 and DJs after that. So

You know we talked about it's amazing there's even stuff to do Wednesday

There's even stuff to do Tuesday

At some point there'll be a Tuesday schedule that we can look at

This thing is quickly becoming all week

If it were up to me, I'd say we should stop at Wednesday

If you're up to me, I know

Taco Tuesday's sacred to you. So I'm sorry, but anywho, he'll be there and we'll be hearing about it, but we won't be there

Yeah, I'll be there but Thursday boy, you know and I when I mentioned the other month

We I wasn't trying to be hyperbolic when I when I said that the 2020 lineup

I or I think that this 25 lineup might be better than 20 and

Then when I just kind of said that out loud and then and then I had to think well

maybe I should think about that before I say it and then but then I

reconfirmed myself that I'd still believe that because

Thursday is is

The difference in those two years in that five-year stretch

Thursday was still a nothing day. Yeah in 2020 move-in day

Yeah, I mean there was still plenty of good bands playing on the this and that it's Thursday's been a thing for a while

But this year's Thursday, this is a real day

Move-in day and Discovery Day. Yeah, this is

Yeah, and Grand Ole Opry day, which you know, yeah and Grand Ole Opry day

Which was fun for a minute, but after a while it ran its course, but

You guys want to start on Thursday you want me to start on Thursday. What do you want to do?

Thursday's good. Yeah, go ahead. It's it's gonna be a big day for us and we'll talk about that. Yeah

Yeah, but the I mean, I think the biggest news here is who saw three

What stage acts on Thursday? I didn't see that as a rumor anywhere. I didn't see anybody

Wondering out loud. Do you think there'll be more than one like this one is another Bonnaroo?

surprise

Where they I mean Wilderado, right is how you say their name. They're lower on the original poster

They're not up at the top and they're they're on and a lot of times what stage acts in the early day are kind of like

Hey, here's a I don't know like an industry push like we're gonna throw and we'll get to it in a minute like flip turn

I mean, I'm flip turn hasn't ascended to monster stage status yet, but they're gonna be on the what this year but

Wilderado Macklemore was the one for me. Yeah, that was about early afternoon

What stage it's the best place in the world to be in those evenings that the what stage man?

But Marcus King and then of course Luke Holmes, which we knew that's a good nice long evening on the what I love it

Love it. Love it. Love it for Thursday

Remind me what Brad again the ubiquitous Brad Parker. What did he tell us about the Thursday that it was

They were looking at it

Correct me if I'm wrong is an opportunity to do something like this because a guy like Luke Holmes reached out and said hey

I'd like to play Bonnaroo

and so they said it's got to be a

Thursday, but it might not be we're gonna get this type of thing every year

Yeah, it's not something necessarily they're they're guaranteed to do every year they're not saying okay Thursday

Headliner is a thing every year. But this year

Luke Holmes apparently reached out to them and said I want to play and let's make it work and yeah

He we've got Thursday he and they and others have said

That the that the what on Thursday is not gonna be a thing going forward. I don't believe it for a second

It's gonna be it's gonna be a thing going forward every Thursday. It's kind of like

Tournaments sporting sporting events other things you add you add you add you rarely take away

Rarely do you go backwards, especially with increasing prices and everything in all, you know globe

We'll make a note of it and I and I say that without knowing that at all, but I think it would be

So foolish to throw a festival down the road and say, you know, y'all really love this Thursday thing

We're not gonna do that anymore especially what we just talked about having Tuesday and Wednesday stuff

It'd be tough to have a leapfrog and just skip Thursday, but I get it. I they

They don't know what they're doing in the next two years from now

Or so why you don't want to say well, absolutely we're gonna kill it on Thursday

So yeah, but I believe it'll always be there and I let me say I'm wrong

I just hope I hope because I think it's a great great great addition to the festival

Yeah

As far as Thursday on the other

stuff that

Sticks out from the main lineup of Dom Dahl of course really is kind of the headliner on the other

I mean if you ask most people of certain ages way younger than us, right?

That's the act for the day and then this tent is stacked all day long

I know nothing on that

Tent I don't know any of those bands and I know almost all of them on this

Even the kitchen balance joy balance is somebody that's been tipped off

Okay to check out I like a lot

And of course insane clown posse over there. Yeah over on this but like kitchen dwellers

They're bluegrass and they're very good. You know, they're very very good band. So yeah that

That's my second paper man

Kitchen dwellers dogs Daniel Donato and insane clown posse all day long on just this on sat on Thursday

Yeah, that's a huge that's really strong. That's really strong. Yeah, and we I mean, let's go ahead and do it

Dogs in a pile we we saw Wednesday

Here in town three of us went to the show and saw them very I liked it very much

Looking forward to seeing them

I did say beforehand. I think they are a perfect Bonnaroo act

That fits perfectly on the farm. I thought it was a good set

I thought I would have changed a little bit around to be honest a

Little bit too much jammy in and oh I did want to say

Because we asked the question when we interviewed him. Are they a jam band? I think we can confirm they are

I

Did not expect them

To to answer the question any other way than they did. I

Expected them to answer it like they did

But yes, they are

Are a jam man. There is no way around that but

Did they play your song Bryan, oh no

They did not come June they did not they did not play the song

The song is all the same by the way, if you're if you just want to hear a good

Slow sweet rock song give it a listen, but they did not and I checked the check the set list since

They still haven't

They haven't played it since April 12, so they didn't just stick it to me. They're sticking it to everybody

It's been April 12th was the last time they played this song they really is speaking of are they jam bands

boy, they stick to the formula on the set list and

But they did give us a Chad nigga choo-choo instrumental. That was fun. That was really neat little cab

Callaway, maybe the Moocher. Yeah, hi

Hi

Little taste of Zappa in there

Little taste of Zappa in there

Allison Chains thrown in to right now we were Barry were wrong on that speaking of being wrong

It wasn't Allison Chains. It was not it was not a cover song is one of the okay

It was a song that we thought we there was one they were playing just to get let everybody in on the on the

Conversations of Joe there was a song they were playing. I was like this cannot be a dog

We all feel like I know this this is not them

This is something else and

You quickly grabbed some you some lyrics from what you were hearing him sing and looked it up and you said Allison Chains

And I said Barry, I know every Allison Chains song

That ain't it either

But it's not them and then when I looked it up

It doesn't have any notes about it being a cover and then I dug through some because I was going to figure this out

that next day and

It's not a recorded song on any of their albums

But it is a song that shows up in their live sets, but it does not give writing credits to anybody else

So, I don't know but either way it was a lot of fun, but you've got to like jam bands because that's what they are

Yeah. Yeah, and also

We got to meet say hi and howdy hug and howdy and get pictures with Brock. That was cool

Longtime listener. Hey Brock long long time listener. I mean he he said he went back what's a 20?

19 19. Yeah from Middle Tennessee somewhere

No, that's not Tennessee that's North Tennessee. Anyway somewhere up somewhere in rural Middle Tennessee. So thanks for saying hello Brock

We appreciate thanks for saying hello

And he also said as we heard last year at the beer exchange from so many people who said they listen and that we helped them

I can't tell you how much that means when somebody says that we

We helped them enjoy Bonnaroo survive Bonnaroo do Bonnaroo whatever however you want to you want to say it

But it's hard to imagine I can be overly helpful for anything, but I appreciate that. Yeah. Well, it's don't be like Bryan

I mean that's it's bad

You know, that's but that dog show for an hour

That's gonna be something. I definitely will be at and if again if it jams your thing, you're gonna love it

Yeah, okay so Thursday

Again we say it every year we will say it again in a couple weeks when we do our do's and don'ts

Be careful on Tuesday. Be careful on Wednesday. Be careful on Thursday. Don't overdo it insane clown posse starting at 1230

Just remember guys you're trying to get through to Monday morning

Yeah, the I mean to me as a purist

To me as a purist all this stuff's fun. It's neat. We're talking about it Thursday being bigger and bigger than better than ever

That's great. The festival is Friday Saturday Sunday. That's the festival

I mean in earnest and and there that's the fest that's when

all the best stuff is always happening and so yeah, keep it in mind to

Yeah, I don't know if you think if the early days are your days and hey

I can't tell you you're wrong, but for me the biggest the biggest event of the whole festival happens Thursday afternoon, right?

Oh, do we want to tease that now a little bit now? Yeah, we do more than tease it four o'clock

The three of us if you can believe it will be on stage in Planet Roo on the house stage

along with again the aforementioned he's everywhere Brad Parker and

We don't know is it gonna be an alderman we hope so because Bryan just learned what an alderman is a couple weeks ago

Right, I bet a lot of you listen are like what an idiot what's an alderman what's an alderman

It's a kid. It's a governmental position. We probably will be on stage with an alderman. I hope so just because I want to say alderman

But we're going to be talking about

What

Bonnaroo means to Manchester and what Manchester means to Bonnaroo and how it all works

and of course

Not just the local businesses, but some of the local charitable events and what they do inside Planet Roo

For those of you who again have never been

Bonnaroo is way more than just a lineup of live music

It raises millions of dollars for the local economy it raises awareness

It's always been at the forefront of recycling

Yeah, a lot of a lot of special interest groups that again involved this is through the Bonnaroo works fund

They got they at least have a hand in it because I know they have something to do with the rerun too

so yeah, it's a lot of advocacy and things like that and this is gonna be part of that and

Might even be hopeful. We're gonna find our

Some kind of act artist to maybe join us dogs in a pile maybe you

We have basically a 90 minute sort of timeframe to be on stage we're gonna do a meetup either before and after

But definitely we will be there and hopefully you guys if you're listening will come by say hi

We'll have a Q&A so you can ask us a question. You can ask Brad a question

The the alderman if if you so choose we've already had some people on our discord

Who plan to be there some local folks who you know are aware of?

What it means to Manchester?

Yeah, and this is that you said it already Barry, but I said in four o'clock, which is

Moments after anything starts

so if it's essentially the beginning of the if Thursday is considered the first day, which it is

The very very very beginning so there will not be a ton of conflicts if you would like to come by and say hello

We would love to see you. Yeah, absolutely and thanks to Kelsey

With c3 this she basically does a lot of things including and we'll get into that sometime later Bryan as you found out

She's the one who does the 5k race. So in addition to all the other stuff

she does there sounds like her list of things she's

Responsible for is long and exhausting

Good luck good. We're so excited. It's part of what are they calling it podcasting with a purpose

We're going to do at four o'clock on Thursday

The RooHamm guys I spoke to Parker yesterday

they're gonna do four o'clock on Friday and

Daniel and Sharla and the crew the board there with totem

which is the organization that is

Put together to get provides basically scholarships for people that totem is in

its mission is to sort of create the next generation of

people who

Not just go to festivals but do things like this Tuesday and Wednesday and and all this other stuff

That we get involved get involved learn more understand all the angles that kind of thing. That's right

So pretty cool idea

I think Brad Parker again and Kelsey came up with this idea and reached out to all three of us

By us, I mean these three podcasts RooHamm real rubas, of course the what podcast and so

To say that we are excited about the idea of being on a stage in

Centeroo at Bonnaroo if

You'd have told me that ten years ago

I would have been over the moon and I'm over the moon now. So yeah. Yeah, definitely

I'm really excited about it, too

I'm I am dragging from a weekend of traveling in this festival

So I don't I don't look like I'm that excited and promise you I am. Yeah, I promise you I am

I guess that's the Friday, right?

Let me do real quick Outeroo through Thursday. Oh, didn't look at that. Did we let's just jump back over

Crumb snatchers, we're gonna hopefully visit with those that what's in the guts

On

Thursday's guts. Yeah, goots goots. Goots. I think you're right

It's gonna be a guest of ours. Hopefully that day

Looking forward to he's at 230

Over on the who if we're able to get out that way more Frick Frack Blackjack on Thursday, too

More yeah more or less

house of yes

Like I said guys, I mean there's just so much

Here's that unruly Atlanta if you remember over on where in the woods

Let's talk about that for just a minute where in the woods

You know was overbooked. I think we all agree last year was overbooked, right?

Yeah, they went the other way in a big way the other direction in a big way, correct or in a not big way

Not big way correct looks like they want to make it what it was originally kind of just a place to hang out and chill and

and

Re-energize

And so they moved a lot of this other stuff house a yes

Frick flat Frick Frack Blackjack and some of that other so yeah, most of where in the woods stuff is done by the evening

Yeah, it's it's not going late night. It's not gonna be they they

Just let I'm purely, you know organically on accident

I mean, I'm guessing I wasn't there in the planning meeting but I it just

Exploded it turned in it was just the place to be word spread like like wildfire or whatever, you know, what other?

Analogies we want to use for that, but it did spread and everybody wanted to go well

Everybody wants to be in the infinity stage this year. So yeah

Between that and the scaled-down schedule

I don't think they're gonna have to worry about where in the woods being any kind of because it was danger

I'm as dangerous situations of people trying to get out of there and I think this is good. I'm glad they're doing that

Yeah, very good. They're also doing a almost kind of a different city per day thing

Memphis Nashville like different

If that scene means a lot to you then that should be pretty interesting a

Lot of people don't care about that

They wanted to go to where the party was where everybody was and and that's what they did

Partied and it got a little out of hand

so it still serves a very good purpose, but it's gonna be more for the people who really are

That that scene means a lot to them. So that's I think they I think this is gonna be really good

I agree take your hammock. That's what it I mean, that's what I always

Thought of it as place to go, you know catch a nap get some shade

Like I said reenergize and then became because it was it was a cool place that everybody figured out it got overcrowded

Speaking of and again, we're ping-ponging a little bit here and I apologize for that but

Group camping what sold out this week, right? Then we get that an ounce. Yes it did. Hmm. Yeah

So it is amazing to me that maybe I've already said this but that this amount of people

Can coordinate this well to make a big group can't play I can't get 10 people together to go to

Seven people together go to a ballgame

You know to go down to you know, four two three day here in Chattanooga, you know this weekend

budget maybe maybe maybe maybe

These people are so dedicated to this and boy

Look what it takes just to get the three of us to go do anything. Yeah, I know

We were at that damn dog show on Wednesday. You know me text. I got said, holy shit Barry's out all three of you

What's going on? Yeah

That not one or two like three or four or five different people like what's going on with you?

Yeah, who got Barry out this late exactly? Yeah, so I get good on the group on the group people man

You guys rock this festival kidding and that's a great point because I'm the king of the maybe I'll be there hold my spot

Yeah, I'm the king of I want to be invited but I don't really want to go exactly

That day I'm like, I'm not going I don't want any part of this

I'll be mad as hell if you don't invite me, but I probably wasn't good

But yeah, I wanted to say that I don't know what that means I can't imagine I do know

From listening, you know again to Ruhem guys their plea

Is that they get more water stations and bathrooms out there and I

Take care of that. Oh, okay. Yeah

It's it's those kinds of things guys that make a difference, you know

Can't get water and you can't get a bathroom

It's a bad day. Well, and the good news is

clearly

Ruhem guys they are listening to you more than you ever would have imagined

So maybe you'll get maybe you will get just that correct, correct, correct. All right, so we're jumping to Friday

Yeah, what is what from my?

Experience in without keeping tabs or any record

Most people I've run into since January are like that Friday lineup

Yeah, wow strong and I I am an agreement of that. We'll do our official picks

Soon, you know down the road here not not all that long, you know sometime here towards the end of the month in the beginning

of next month

The biggest thing for me on Friday that stuck out that I that I didn't quite pick up on my own

I saw some others talking about it and boy, it's damn near criminal

goose at 930 on the witch and

rainbow kitten surprise

930 so essentially head-to-head on the that tent. So there's two things here

That's crossover audience those

There's a lot of those that audience that's good would love to see both those shows. That's a direct conflict

It's gonna screw up be being able to see those

As as well as you would like but then the other thing is

rainbow kitten surprise on that tent

Boy how their ascension has fallen? I know they've had you know

they've had tragedy within the band and they've had to kind of come back from that but

They were on

You know monster-sized stages not that long ago

Now that they're you know, I'm not trying to make a greater point other than they're now on the that and they're head-to-head with goose

So that's that's a big conflict. Yeah for many

They were supposed to be on the what the witch stage two years ago. I think before they probably they were on the witch stage in

2017 first time I ever heard a rainbow kitten surprise was at Bonnaroo which stage 2017

I think that was one of those kind of want to mention earlier. I think that was one of those

Hey, you guys are on the rise. Let's throw you on a big stage to get you a big audience and

then it just continued to go up their popularity skyrocketed and

So it's kind of falling off a little bit

But that is a monster conflict for a lot go back to another one earlier in the day

And I'm so happy to hear so many people excited about flip turn

Which you know

445 on the what yeah Russ points out all the time, you know, we pretty much discovered we take credit for finding them at Moon River

Yeah, you're welcome everybody. Yeah

Yeah, nobody ever heard of them before we

That's right. Go back and listen to that episode, but you got them there them there

Where do I live on the wet stage at 445?

and Jay Linderman and

Who we all agree we like

And and this tent and then mannequin pussy on that tent

Yeah, there's a touch of overlap there. Maybe no. No, they're just head up. They're just back-to-back

That's gonna be a big couple of back-to-back this that for me. I got a wallows

So, I mean if you want to put on your track shoes and try to hit, you know

See all of these or any of them

That's a pretty

Pretty good conflict. That's probably right

the biggest one for me

That day and Friday is stacked you could almost just hang out at the what stage

Yeah foster the people is gonna be gonna be fun I miss them the last time they were here John summit the more

I just I got to know more the more I hear people are just excited as they could be for John summit and that's so

He's got a what stage at 8 o'clock on on Friday and then in infinity at 145

Yep late night till 3 a.m. Who is this guy? What's going on here?

I need to know I'll know more by the time we get there, but that's uh

People are excited about this and then glass animals. Yep on the witch at 1230 a late night show

I did not see that one coming. I expected it on on the what?

Slightly disappointed it won't I'm always sorry

I'm always going to be disappointed when a band I want to see is not on the what that's just I default to that

It's a great stage dough down and then tipper will be huge

And loud the other at 1 30 in the morning late night there

The first of three King gizzard sets I have it on my list I'm glad you went there

This tent the first one will be an

early evening or evening I should say 7 o'clock this tent and we will and they will gradually get bigger and

Throughout the weekend which we'll get to here in a minute

But yeah, the first the first of three will be on this tent on on Friday and I gotta go lay eyes on Megadeth

I mean what else are you?

Megadeth yeah, there ain't a chance. I miss Megadeth not a chance. I

Can't I don't even like Megadeth that much

I know but but back in taco you remember this maybe I mean you clearly you might remember a to Barry

He probably just didn't care as much at the time there was

Megadeth had a little bit of a spike in popularity when Metallica the black album was hitting and Metallica was skyrocketing and

And the story was which none of us could easily fact-check was Dave Mustaine

Was formally in the lead singer for Megadeth was formally in

Metallica and so that that gave it this interesting

rivalry almost and

Metallica wins and turns into you know a monster rock act of the 90s outside of the grunge era and Megadeth

Just kind of yeah in a way, you know just went away never really heard of them again

I'm sure they played music for the next 20 years, but so I gotta see it gotta see it gotta see it

I

Know

Yeah

For two hours disc golf over a group camp and then

Snake and Jake's at two o'clock has at at 2 a.m

Snake and Jake's at 2 a.m. Friday, which is not Outeroo in Centeroo roots on the Outeroo schedule

They put a snake and Jake's on the Outeroo schedule when it is definitely in Centeroo. It's in Centeroo

We're not wrong on that one

Saks saks swatches doing sacks and candy middle of the night at

Snake and Jake's I won't be there, but I hope you do and report back tell me about it

Yeah, also three o'clock. They're doing this as speed dating at snake and Jake's I think I gotta go check that out

Maybe you know I thought the same

There'd be some blue hairs there thing. No, I'm trying to get another car. Oh

Hey, whatever works, right? Yeah, I thought the same thing. Let's see what Bonnaroo speed dating

I can handle that. I don't need a car here by the way

I don't need you. I don't need your car

I

Need the new ride so he's going to speed dating. I like it, but nothing else on Outeroo on Friday

Jumped off the page is anything. I hardly knew what it was but nursing home of yes

I just know that the House of Yes folks out of New York

Have got a whole weekend planned with a lot of different events and so that's gonna be cool

Well, it's certainly a flamboyant pretty much non-stop party at the House of Yes, like even if it's not on this list

It's like it never stops over there. Yeah, you gotta go check it out. Yeah, you gotta make it at some point

Go buy even we've done that

all right

Saturday

After you recover from Friday, what time does your day start on Saturday guys? What's the first one?

Geez, I don't know because the Saturday is the opposite for Fridays and I've also heard that from a lot, too

It seems to be a common opinion that Saturday is a little bit more of a go

Rest it up get ready for Sunday kind of thing

But the the first note I didn't do this myself the research to find out I did

Fact-check it to make sure it was right all

Female leads or female bands an artist on the what stage an all day. How about that?

Yeah, that's cool

Again these guys listen they listen, you know, they went for those who don't know they went years and years and years till what?

Was it?

Who was the first was it Liz? Oh, Liz. I was supposed to be the first

Yeah, and then it turned out to be Stevie Nicks

Which you know, but they went years and years and years without a female headliner

And so this is clearly, you know

We can

There was a lot of reasons it just what they didn't there was who was it gonna be type of sometimes it goes back to what we

talked to

Tuba and others about it. It's just there who's not available. Yeah, you can't book somebody who's not touring correct

Yeah, we found out that the inventory it's an inventory issue

But it's not touring or not available, but it was pointed out

It was like, ooh, that's true and then so it became a almost a thing not a huge thing

But anyway, this is cool and you're right. I noticed that today when I was looking at it

Avril at 815 930 on what I mean, that's a can't miss we're not doing that segment now, but that I'll just

Start earlier in the day dope lemon and action Bronson on this and that I kind of want to bounce between those

Dope lemons good stuff

it is it is and then the big from what I've seen people talk about in one person in particular who text me about a

Conflict that was gonna bother her was the super jam because some people are married to the super jam, right?

Like it's just something they have to do

It's just part of their their experience and their tradition is a super jam head-to-head with modest mouse

That's you know, that's tough

What's that and Nellie?

my god

Three way. Yeah. Yeah three way conflicts with yeah, you've got a really you can do all three. I mean

You can

But you might not you might be upset with yourself that you tried

To to try to fit to try to do too much and then that's a for me

For sure on that day the if if I don't get into the infinity all weekend except for once that's fine

I need the ones to be sacks watch speaks

It's got to be sacks watch

Eleven o'clock that night. I love this guy. I love his story

Used to play with the Marcus King band back in the day now

He just dresses up like a damn Jack's links beef jerky looking

Sasquatch in place cover songs primarily with a saxophone. I mean it ain't much more complicated than that

I need you can't go wrong. I need to see it. I need to see it

Is your second late night?

Yeah, sit there and so she's so dead day two. They're on the same tent

They'll be at this but on Friday and Saturday Saturday will be the late night 12 15 to 215 and how about this guys?

We kind of know that it's different than we we know enough to know that this isn't the most surprising thing ever

But it still surprised me arcade fire on the that 10 1 a.m. To 215

Saturday yeah

There's gonna be a lot of people that want to see that show the super jam this year is it's Remy Wolf and it's yeah

You know, it's titled the 1970s pool party

Barry that might you know that era might be right in your wheelhouse

I ain't got any interest in

1970s pool party if that's what you're calling it

But also super jam has never been something that I've made sure to go do in 21 years

I mean, I've seen it before but it's not high on my yeah the one the year with

Billy Idol and Graham

Larry Graham bass player

Was it Don Oates? I guess was the host that was that was a lot of fun and oh, they're all fun

Brittany Howard was yeah

That's a fun idea

It's just never worked out for me and after a while

I hardly ever did it and then I just hardly ever thinking about it over at the convention center

Which is right behind, you know the main the main area basically behind what stage?

I've heard the super jam being practiced and rehearsed right more than I've seen it on stage inside of honor

So

Yeah, I'll be the weird thing is they can't they can't seem to find a place and time for it

Like like like a specific time that we can all that year again the one I mentioned Billy Idol had just performed

so he just literally walked over from what this tent and

Joined in and you know, that was a lot of fun

But it you know

What it last year was like five or six in the evening and it was just sort of a yeah

Yeah, it seems like the super jam, you know

It was a it was a product of the jam festival and it was it was

meaning when Bonnaroo was more a jam centric central a

Festival and it really the lore built and built and built and now that Bonnaroo is not a jam festival hardly at all

Yeah feels like the priority on it has maybe maybe dipped a little bit

But I'm not complaining saying that's good or bad. I'm just you know saying this might be what it yeah

All right, so

Yeah, that's Saturday Saturday our Roo

There was a lot of talk

What is it a was it a parade pride parade? They were doing that they later that makes sense

Yeah, it's and it's more less of a parade. Maybe not at all a parade more of a party kind of thing. It is that

where in the woods on

Saturday the super queer ultra gay pride party

I don't know if I would have called it that exactly or not

But that's what they're calling it

and so if

So people who are upset about losing that and then thinking it had something to do with the climate of you know American

Political, you know strife not I I wouldn't look into it that way

It's just been repackaged into this three-hour wear in the woods

Yeah, it's a little bit of that and I think it's they moved it because

It's it's a big dress-up party and they used to have it in the afternoon. It was just freaking hot

You used to be at noon. Yeah

Yeah, that's good point. That's a great point actually and this is still during the day, but it's in where in the woods

Shaded and you can then actually that might be great

Yeah a shaded where where in the woods is just a fabulous stretch of of landscape

Tree cover that might be man anybody who's upset about that might realize

Okay, and now I get it. Yes, yes. I'm have no idea but we'll see

Another speed dating opportunity Ross. I said they're all over the place Ross. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah

Let's make sure we don't go at the same time. We'll be looking

That's the whole thing up. It's like no I want her. No, I want her. I want her I want her

Car tags or whatever

pink slips

alright Centeroo

Sunday

Sunday Sunday Sunday again

What's your earliest when we start what is the day start I didn't I did all this last night

And I forgot to circle today, so I'll have to wait a little for me

Which is another good one Murray, which is another one. I wanted to see for me

It's later in the day, but that stuff that I want to see but this is King gizzards

Third day and now they're on the witch

On the way that's 615 can't swim which we got I gotta go check out obviously seems like you have to yeah. Yeah

Yeah, we go go. I'm gonna go teach him how to swim apparently

I am going I have every intention in the world to go to the King gizz show on the witch on Sunday

I don't want to deal with the tents on on

Thursday or on Friday and Saturday for that band because I don't know much about that band

All three I want to do it all are you Wow look at that

Vampire weekend

Gorilla

Jack's mannequin big gigantic. I wish it's which late night evening

Y'all y'all heard me yell at him when day of the of the lineup announcement put Queens of the Stone Age on the what?

They didn't know it no one's listening to me right now. No one's listening to me the band record

The

Festival organizers again directors. They're not listening to me. They're listening to everybody else, but not me again guys

It's don't do what Bryan don't be like Bryan. This is this is the benefit of this show I

Know learn what not to do plus

I almost feel like I gotta go see post net post sex nachos just cuz of that name just to see what the

About yeah, it's so stupid, but they gotta be good right you better be especially after speed dating I

Wait, I just wish I wish to put a final thought on on the Queens and the witch and what I just wish they would have

Flipped vampire weekend in Queens of the Stone Age last time vampire weekend was here. They were on the what I was there

I saw it. Yeah

I can yeah, I can do that. You know you never know what the deal is

Maybe you know, you don't know any of the what the writers are or what the the scheduling is or we don't know anything

And maybe Queens of Stone Age wants to headline the witch stage

They want to be the final act on the secondary sound not like the witch stage is some kind of you know kids table

I mean this this thing's I mean, especially now they've really improved the stage. It's a great stage. It ain't the what stage

It's not that nothing is nothing in the what have they done

For Outeroo pretty light. Oh, yeah very light

Go ahead hosier closing out. Oh, yeah for me washed out. That's the one I want to see on the infinity stage

That's one of the only ones that I really do want to see you know these stage. Oh late. Yeah

I haven't really talked about the infinity stage. That's gonna be

For me that has the potential to be like the place where I hang out a lot

Yeah, and I really don't know

Pretty damn close to us. It's gonna be close if it's awesome

Like I think it's gonna be I can see me being there a lot. I

Think the newness is gonna make it so difficult for that's what I don't know

I don't know as far as like who's gonna be performing there. I don't it doesn't really matter. It really yeah

It doesn't really matter. It's a kind of stage. I think it's more of an experience to see what it's all about

That's why I want to go see saksquatch. It's not a real act

It is but it's not like that. I want to see something silly in there. I want to see something

Yeah, I want to see something that he's good. Oh, you can play. He's fabulous

He's very very good, but playing carry on my wayward son in a

In a gorilla suit, I don't consider that to be a real act

I consider that to be a novelty fun gimmicky you try it

No, I don't want I get it

Don't want to but so I think that's the perfect place to see that something that's kind of silly

That's gimmicky in a what is a gimmicky stage? I mean, I don't think gimmick is a bad word

Yeah, and so hot dogs and hot dads with festival, yes

Wait a second where the hell is that? What is that?

No, and I circled it it was late last night

hot dogs and hot dads

Festival babes. Yeah

Yeah, we're all like something. I you know, we're all thinking the same. We're all in the same place

All right. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh speaking again. I did this last night. I forgot

Taylor Hansen

You'll see this yeah from the Hansen the band Hansen that kind of a surprise wouldn't it?

Yeah, where in the woods Sunday five o'clock our set

The young kid at the time when Hansen was a band the one that was like a child. Yeah

Taylor Hansen is gonna he's got a set in where the woods I gotta go. I

It feels like it's a must

Hansen got a bad rap man. Hansen was like, thank you. I could not agree more. That's a great pop song

I don't care what anybody says a good pop song is a good pop song. This is not my original thought

I won't tell you who cuz nobody listen this and it will know who it is

but a

Lifetime friend of mine was she would always

Defend the band Hansen when they were big and all of us were like just biggest losers. They're the worst

I hate them. She's like guys. This is a young modern-day version of Crosby stills in Nash

like the way they the harmonizing is

Pretty strong but the harmonizing I think is what her point was

Yeah, the way they sing the way they they they do acapella the way that like they are amazing or like you're a loser

My son would have been 10

He loved him love love loved him and I'm like, you know what? That's a good pop. I'm with you

I'm glad to hear you say that

Didn't we just get Hanson last year at the Super Jam

There was one no, I'm glad you said that taco cuz while I was kicking this around

I thought it seems like there's been a hands-on something familiar. Yeah, so like are we just getting Hansen pop up every year?

Maybe I'll take it. They just got nothing else to do but just come play Bonnaroo. Maybe it was a different Hansen brother

Oh, well, it was the it was the whole band last. Oh, it's the whole band and this is just Taylor. I

Don't know. Yeah, you got to see what he's gonna do though, right? I think you're right Ross

He was they were there last year. Does this this Taylor kid think kid does he think he's

EDM artists now though. That's what I don't want. I don't know if I want I mean that's like Rebecca Black

That's a good pull good catch. I missed that one. No, I'm with you. That's fun. So, all right, there we go

Yeah, and then the right yo's it rises the rest of Sunday me really it's all about the main stage

Sunday

We'll just see the main stages. I should say which so

For other than Friday and the two pretty big conflicts

I

Think it lines up pretty great for me. It lines up really does for me

This is probably my my most conflict free year

Just to say that there's really not a lot day by day that I have to see so I was about to say I bet it

We're all in the same boat on this. There's not a lot of conflicts because there's not a lot of must-sees on this lineup

That's what makes this lineup so

interesting and unique

For me is that I love it. I think it's a great lineup

But there's almost nothing on it that I don't care if I didn't ever see and so that leaves open such a wide open schedule

To just do whatever it's freeing. It's liberating to a certain degree. I love it. I'm really freeing

But I think also and I

Think I pointed this out when it first came out it felt full

Enough it and it still feels that way where there's like something all day long each day

Yeah, I mean, you know what I mean. Yeah, I like two years ago

Especially and I can pull names but it just felt like everything was in a block and then there was nothing

Yeah, that might have been 22 well it depends on yeah who you ask but I mean the 2022 lineups

I feel like it had a lot of that. Maybe that was it. It was just that was one of the worst lot of

There were two or three must-sees and then a bunch of and yeah

Yeah, just sitting around this one feels like there's something all day long

Yeah, not a lot of filler so to speak right exactly

and

They make sense again we go back to those lanes you could you can kind of see the wisdom or the logic

Of why it lays out the way it lays out

All right, and Bryan you went to

420 down in Atlanta

Yeah, it was the last minute thing

Yeah, last minute thing just got back last night just did a full day usually the city festivals

That's that's how I like to do them. Just just get there early

You know late morning noon ish and then just pulling all day or and be done with it

The the headliner was green sky bluegrass. So you knew I wasn't gonna stick around for that

but

No matter who the headliner was I probably wasn't I just mainly wanted to see the drive-by truckers

But they moved to a new venue called the Pullman yards and

Boy, this place is cool. This is a it's kind of a decater

If you know Atlanta at all, which is basically downtown Atlanta just hang a right go down a

couple of Ponce de Leon and Arts District and all that and

It's it's like these big old

Industrial

Factory kind of the same kind of thing old cities have like we have a lot of them here

We're doing some repurposing with our new baseball stadium and they're all repurposed and they're beautiful and huge and

this

This place. I mean it was a beautiful day. So that might be why it looks so picturesque and great and

Everything about it was so so comfortable

Concession stands were wide open. I have a feeling the attendance wasn't really probably where they want it

I don't know that but it was early in the day. No, no city festival has big crowds early in the day, right?

In the concession stand area, I'm gonna talk about

won't go on and on here too much, but the VIP and then the non VIP and and the

juxtaposition of the two but in the GA GA area

All shaded huge vendor market where all the concessions where they had a monster-sized TV

Like screen showing the band playing

You know on the stage which I had not seen quite like that

So that was really neat to you know

If you want to get a drink and you can still you can still see the band and you can hear the music

everywhere you go because the footprint is

It's pretty small. They do all the same stuff with the GA plus

VIP, you know the same kind of tiered tiered system. I

Don't know if the GA plus

Looked like it was worth it or not. I'm not sure the VIP in this case actually

Yeah, it actually did and and the way it's set up is they have two two of those old industrial factory

Foundational buildings that have been restored and they're basically parallel to each other and then in between is the stage

And this is a one stage only

Fest so there's there's no real wandering around to go find the other stages, right?

And on the right side is

What they would consider VIP and then on the left side is not and they're pretty much equal in

size and

Accessibility to the stage and then they both have their own

Kind of dedicated old refurbished factory buildings that serve as the hub for

bathrooms and concessions and and and all those kinds of things and I hung around in both and

Felt like I was in the same place both times interest like they were both set like

There were perks in the VIP that were worth paying for

But if you didn't know any better and you were just you wouldn't know whether you were in a VIP section

Or if you were in the GA section, I think that's a

Wonderful way to put it together because it's one of those if you know

You know if you're in the VIP and you're getting what comes with that you get it and you know it

But if you're not you're not over there going like look at all the stuff they get

They're all so much closer than us and you all feel like you're in the same place

interesting and you're not and

So I thought that I don't know if that was accidental or done completely by design

But I was really impressed with that because it didn't make somebody feel like you know, the Instagram look of everybody's got things

I don't have and now you know now I'm angry

Didn't feel that way. It felt like everybody was equal at the show

Which is not normal, you know that reminds me it's gonna be interesting to see how Bonnaroo handles that VIP area

That platinum thing Bonnaroo get rid of it. Get rid of it enormous empty space

Whereas somebody said they were in there and it felt like everyone was staring at them now their head, you know

I know talk no taco taco lived in platinum. Yeah, he loves that stuff, but he didn't

That's even more the reason to get rid of it. He didn't have access to that. He was there anyway

No more platinum do all the other stuff you want but those little platinum sections at the tents

Oh, you want to get rid of it just cuz I got in there. Yeah

Well, my biggest thing was at the beaches show I got there early was up close and I couldn't get there because the damn

Empty platinum stage section kept me out and then if I would've but I known better

I would have just snuck in like taco, but I wasn't it wasn't thinking straight. I didn't sneak in just walked in

Sometimes all you gotta do is ask

Act like you belong. Well, anyway, it's interesting that you mentioned all that because that this is you know, as we've talked about it's the experience

Yeah, how the different festivals do it and that's the key. So I mean we got an 80 degree day

No humidity. There's a lot of shade at this venue

So like so many variables were working out so well you bring in a little rain you bring in

You know a lot of other things it could have ruined the whole thing. It might have been a total disaster, but overall

just from a

Attendance and an experience and a user experience

I thought was was quite impressive and then so I was only there for a few hours. So I didn't get to see a whole lot

Andy Frasco was my first

First look at this guy. He's played a boner here recently. Yeah, it was it was

Recently. Yeah, it was it was it was people were pretty pretty into it. That was pretty fun cave jam coming up next month

That's right. See I was talking to some people that there I was like and I was telling them, you know

I got to get back do the show gonna do a little preview of this and I'm like, I can't remember

Frasco is that Bonnaroo this year?

And it's cave jam. He's that yeah. Yeah. Yep. He was part of the uh rain out

Uh Bonnaroo and then came did a show here, right?

Russ wasn't it or did he do one up there and in um, that was mark ribbier, right?

Right, right frasco did one up in manchester did and I can't remember. I think this it might have been 21

um, because yeah, they did a

Several pop-up shows in manchester and remember we went up to see lindsey because he was doing a

You know last minute, uh other farm thing there

And then uh, we kind of caught word at the last minute that uh,

Well, we also picked up spicy pie because they came down and sold a bunch of spicy pies

So we went and saw uh, andy frasco kind of just played a parking lot

Yeah, because they were really just popping these shows up wherever they could do them. That's what I it's a pretty damn

Energetic show for a parking lot. Yeah. It was yeah, it was great. And I remembered he was part of the whole pop-up

What mini ruse?

You know make it happen type of thing. So

Yeah, that's right. That's cool. Um, and then just uh kind of put a bow on this. Um,

A couple of performances on the way out one really cool vip set up. Yes. Thank you. I get four

People 420 you guys are the best. Thank you so much. They I had the vip, uh

For this which I didn't ask for

And um, there was a paterson hood mike coulee the the two main songwriters and founders of drive-by truckers they did a

acoustic

Set in the in the little vip area. That was one of those

You know, sorry everybody out there. You don't get this show. It's only 30 minutes, right? It's only 30 minutes and then the

the uh

Green sky bluegrass was the headliner and then the second to last was the truckers for a 90 minute set

Which at a festival is a long time. That was great

and it was

Just like many of my favorite bands i've been listening to all my life. What's the review Bryan? Was it any good?

Yeah, of course. It was good. It was great

It's just another drive-by trucker show

And and it which means it was awesome. Yeah, and so I then just jumped in the car

Haul ass back so I can hang out with you two fine gentlemen this morning. We appreciate it on on a

Easter Sunday. Yeah, so anyway great. That's true. Yeah fabulous

I I don't do these festivals like just any of them like I used to and when I get to

Especially when it's just kind of out of nowhere

It's it's it's it's a blast from the past. It's it's it's so much fun and 420 really uh

I don't know if it's got longevity because they've I mean this thing was a three-day panic tre

Anastasio primus west claypool. I mean name them all from a jam scene

I mean they were the best of the best of the jam scene every year huge huge footprint

And it is just slowly slowly slowly slowly shrunk shrunk down

I don't know if it's got if it's going to be around for forever

But if it is at pullman yards and you're in the south and you love jam, I would consider it

What else what any other news? Um, I want to say again

We're looking forward to the meetup

Opportunity at planet roux on thursday

At four o'clock if you guys please go to our discord if you have any thoughts or ideas

Yeah, we know we're gonna have a q and a

Say again the what.co

We know we're gonna have a q and a so start thinking of your questions for us

You know

We he is he is available. He's looking for a car

apparently

So anyway

Think of uh, we look forward to seeing you guys. Um

Yeah, what what more details eventually we're still still planning stages on that and

It is kind of you know, they asked us to be a part of their thing. So it's going to be

What do you you know, what do you all want? Yeah, and we'll go from there. So we're very excited about it

Anything else guys?

I don't think so. Uh, really it was just it was it was

I did think it was funny speaking of our our guy brad. Um parker

He got he was getting killed on social for that one day delay

On the on the schedule release it was supposed to be tuesday last week and for a minute. I was like, oh god

We're missing this the show's coming out. We had a good show. It was with dogs, but I was like

Damn it, you know, it's happening and then and then they pushed it a little further

I was like, okay cool. Now we got a good excuse

We could you know, it was the timing didn't work
