The music festival landscape is vast and wide.
Luckily you have The What Podcast by your side at all times.
Which bands this year that matter with Barry Courter, Brad Steiner, Lord Taco, diving into
the world, the music industry, music festivals and everything in between.
Another one starts right now.
Welcome into the what podcast, which bands this year that matter over the years, we have
talked to countless bands, artists and festival goers every now and then.
We like to take a look back at some of the best moments of the what podcasts five or
so minutes in what we call cleverly a high five.
Another great moment from the what podcast right now.
You're really good at this.
I have no idea what's happening.
And now it's become this whole thing.
And there's been so many beautiful adventures and stories along the way.
One of them, and I'll go ahead and address it because it's the five bazillion pound,
you know, elephant in the room and you're wearing the t shirt is the McCartney thing.
Right.
I mean, so you go from 2015, not even playing bass to you're playing for one of the best
bass players in the world.
You know, that's a pretty good arc.
Yeah, it's true.
I'm very loud and proud wearing this t shirt.
I would be.
I might have to get a dozen of them so I can keep wearing them.
Yeah.
Well, tell me about that experience, though.
Both of you.
I mean, I remember we actually we got a text about it, which is a really funny way to get
news delivered.
But it was one of my favorite days over quarantine.
It was still in, you know, still in like the height of everyone being locked down.
And I was in this room and saw the are like band management text thread with this popping
up.
And I remember literally rolling on the floor because I didn't know what to do.
It's like, what do you do with this?
It's you know, one of the most legendary people.
Ever.
And I grew up listening to the Beatles like very, very, very, very much a part of my childhood.
So having that come was crazy.
And I got to talk to him on the phone and he left me a voicemail that I have saved in
like five different places in my computer and in the air.
I get it.
It was incredible.
I get it.
And I was able to take photographs in the pit for the 2013 show.
And it's my screensaver.
And for me, it was same with you.
I didn't roll around on the floor only because I didn't think of it.
How about you, DJ?
Yeah.
I mean, it's funny.
Like I don't really, so in my day to day life, I kind of really subdued and I don't really
talk about what I do to people that may not know what I do.
So I remember this one specific moment like after the song had come out, I was on a basketball
court.
We were actually at a church gym.
And it's this spot I play at once a week.
And one of the guys I play with, he kind of knows what I do.
And I think maybe it popped up online somewhere.
And again, we're in a church gym about to play ball.
And he walks up to me like, dude, what the?
He's like, you did a song with Paul McCartney.
And I was like, yeah, it was a really funny moment to hear like a super loud blast profanity
at a church gym over that.
But yeah, I mean, it was super special.
I know my mom gets a kick out of it.
My mom and my aunt, they're really big Kroenvend fans.
And by any time something like that happens, they're completely over the moon about it.
And yeah, still kind of pinching ourselves about it.
I'm going to say it was also like, it was a real quarantine miracle for us.
It was a COVID year miracle because it was the first thing that got us back in the studio
was that working on that song.
But also we probably wouldn't have been able to do it had we not had the year that we had
because we would have been on the road and we probably wouldn't have had time to figure
that out.
So I'm so happy that that was a really beautiful line.
So we're lining.
Yeah.
I wonder if that's not true for the album in general.
A lot of folks that, you know, timing worked out, but I was also going to say, say DJ,
I'm going to, I think even the Lord would probably forgive that outburst.
Seems spot on to me.
That was one of the funniest moments.
I'm going to say if, you know, if there's a time, evident place, that was it.
