Here's another high five moment from the What Podcast. Barry and Brad remember
2019 when they talked with Bishop Briggs and the infamous Topo Chico incident.
Bishop Briggs brought out about 200 choir members for this song and it was
absolutely gorgeous. Telling you she's got this voice and she's got the stage
presence. I mean totally engrossing. I don't know I love her and the first
thing is she did when we walked into her dressing room after the show. Big hugs.
She might be the nicest person. She is so sweet and it's almost she's so nice it's
almost a little bit debilitating. Like I don't know how to talk to her because
she's just so sweet. She's super super nice and engaging. Talk to us like we've
known her our whole lives. Yeah welcomed us into the dressing room. She's just so
pretty. She's so pretty. And then you embarrassed. Okay so this was the second
stupidest moment of my Bonnaroo this year. Alright so she's talking about how
much she loves Topo Chico right. She mentioned in the interview that she
keeps getting free Topo Chico. This is the best part of the whole experience. I
mean I don't know why she's excited about Topo Chico and not the blues but whatever.
She loves the Topo Chico. Alright so she doesn't have a bottle opener to open the
Topo Chico and I wish you were recording this but yeah well so here's how it
happened. So the interview and in this trailer is a trailer in name only. It's
as big as the couch and the ice chest full of Topo Chico and a countertop and
that's it. I sat on the cooler. That's how small this thing is. So it ends and
she's like you guys got to get a Topo Chico. Well no no no we can't take you
know and I'm starting to pack up my recorder. Got my back and and then she
hands you one of these bottles and doesn't have a bottle opener. Doesn't have a bottle opener.
Brad goes frat guy. Well she says she goes something to the effect of can't
you just open it like on the like the corner of the table. Can't you just do that?
Yeah I can do that. I did all time in college. Watch this. Which by the way hey
watch this is the start of every terrible decision you've ever made. Alright so I
go to put it on the corner of the table and I was gonna pop the cap off you know
put it to the corner and pop the cap. Well when I did that the cap grabbed the
side of the panel and ripped the paneling off of the countertop. Took the molding. Took the molding right off of the countertop.
And she just looked straight down with horror on her face and she said I'll be
charged for that. Okay alright well if that wasn't bad enough. Yeah yeah then it
to fix it. Well it gets worse. Well the her manager whoever was there with her
said she wanted one too and I was like well I'll just open it and she's like
well don't use the countertop. I was like well I mean it's already broken anyway.
It's not gonna matter so I might as well just use the countertop that's already here.
And so when I go to open pop the same top do the same thing it slips out of my
hand. Topo Chico literally flies four feet away in the air. Topo Chico is flying
everywhere and the entire trailer and now is covered in a bottle full of Topo Chico.
I look down between my feet and there's a spinning bottle of Topo Chico. Fizz.
So then I panic and I start looking for some sort of paper towel or something to
wipe all this up and Bishop Briggs just looks me in the eye and she says just go.
I'll get it. Just go. She's literally now standing by the door like the hostess who
won't you know. You think I left on good on a good term though you think we left
on good terms. Memorable. She remembers us I'm pretty sure of that. I couldn't pack
that bag fast enough. Let's just go please. It was okay at the end of it though. I mean we're still friends you
think right. Yeah we have there were hugs. There were hugs. I don't know if I got a hug. I got a hug.
But I think it was more of a push. It's a fine line between hug and push isn't it?
