Welcome back to The Podcast That Rocked, weekly podcast that talks about news of the world of rock metal alternative and everything in between. My name is Luke.
**Alex** (0:15)
My name is Alex.
**Rowan** (0:17)
And my name is Rowan.
**Luke Spencer** (0:18)
Thank you all so much for tuning in. I hope you all are doing well. If we hit 50 likes on the livestream with all you Steve's in the chat room right now, we'll play one round of festival rocker flop where we book crappy random festivals that are sometimes great and sometimes make my wife cry. I'm still sorry about my wife getting booked the worst festival we had in months. I think the guy who had Psycho Sinner is the worst. I said my wife had one of the worst. There is a difference.
**Alex** (0:46)
There was like two and that was one of the two.
**Luke Spencer** (0:48)
Yes, that is a very fair way to say it. Yes. So, hey, too terrible. We had a lot of good ones though. Last week we had a lot of good stuff. That was solid.
**Rowan** (0:56)
Last week we had like three festivals and I can't even think that any of them had a weak act. Yeah, exactly. There wasn't the outlier.
**Luke Spencer** (1:03)
Yeah. See, my ideas are good sometimes. Yeah. Everyone hear that? Thank you.
**Rowan** (1:08)
Or no, it's more like the generator side to throw us the bones.
**Luke Spencer** (1:11)
So that's right. I am a politician. When it goes well, I better get all the credit. Oh, thank you all so much.
**Rowan** (1:18)
Have you ever thought about running for governor?
**Luke Spencer** (1:21)
No, I'd get too angry in the debates. I turned pro wrestler mode. Listen, hear you, you know, like type that. It wouldn't work out.
**Rowan** (1:29)
I mean, if you just tombstone pile drive your opponent, you got my vote.
**Luke Spencer** (1:33)
I don't even think that's true. That's true. Oh, there's much better moves to pull than that one. That one's awkward. But regardless, thank you all for the super chats. We will get to all of your super chats later in the stream. We will read them all. If you do $10 or more, you get your own festival. We already have a few already. Thank you all so much for hanging out with us on this January 21st. It's either extremely cold or extremely hot wherever you're listening. And I'm sorry for both. Yeah.
Also, one final thing, I do have a sleeping puppy next to me who's snoring, so I'm going to try to keep my voice down. I apologize, Ivan. Some of the stories tonight are not ridiculous, but they're head scratchers. Is that a good way to say it? I think that's a good way to say it, right?
**Alex** (2:16)
Yeah, yeah, that's pretty good.
**Luke Spencer** (2:18)
Good way to say it. OK, I think we're ready to jump into it. I don't know if I would be more into politics if it was like wrestling. It's not worth it.
**Rowan** (2:27)
A lot of people would.
**Luke Spencer** (2:28)
It's not worth it.
**Alex** (2:29)
Wrestling or politics?
**Luke Spencer** (2:31)
I assure you, they tie much more to each other in the wrestling world, if you know, and I don't want to get into it. There's there's so much more crossover.
**Rowan** (2:39)
I think we could settle more issues if we just have two people representing both sides, just literally fight in a ring. And then whoever wins gets to decide, like the course of our country.
**Alex** (2:50)
But Rowan, it's often fixed.
**Rowan** (2:55)
That's why you get two green party members.
**Luke Spencer** (2:58)
Oh, yeah.
Oh, it's a libertarian. Speaking of politics, let's talk about Dave Mustaine. And yeah, see, sucks when I have such a perfect segue. Let me share my screen with my friends. Sorry, friends. That's just how it goes. I say this because I'm not going to go for the full article. But Dave Mustaine has been on the press bender, as it were. He is really pushing because this week is the advertised final Megadeth album. A new single dropped today. Well, yeah, I don't know what to tell you.
**Rowan** (3:43)
Sorry.
**Luke Spencer** (3:45)
Is this the one you really feel like you got spoiled? This one? OK. However, he's really like he has been putting in the work. Not going to take that away from him. He's had a lot of interviews saying he's not Republican to he's proud of his children for not following in his footsteps, which is a weird thing to say. But whatever, whatever he wants to say.
