FESTIVAL WOES at LTL, Riot Fest, Shaky Knees | The Podcast That Rocked ft. Lern

Luke Spencer (0:05)

Welcome to The Podcast That Rocks weekly podcast that talks about news in the world of rock metal alternative and everything in between. My name is Luke.

Alex (0:13)

My name is Alex.

Lern (0:15)

And my name is Lern.

Luke Spencer (0:17)

Thank you all so much, especially to all the Steve's live listening right now, and a special thanks to Lern from 105.7 The Point, KC95, Chicago Airtime, so many other things, Lern. If you'd like to give a quick introduction of who you are to the Steve's, who may not know you, go for it. Anything you want.

Lern (0:34)

All right. Hi, Steve's. I'm like a 20 year rock radio veteran in St. Louis. And I also have a show in Chicago. And I have known Luke for a really long time, three years now.

Luke Spencer (0:46)

Three years. Yeah.

Lern (0:47)

Yeah. So I'm just a rock radio person. That's all I can really say.

Luke Spencer (0:51)

Also, we have a fourth guest, apparently, that's peering with us right now for the Steve's watching on YouTube. Can we get a name for that little one to the side of you, Lern?

Lern (1:00)

Yeah. Did you just see Clover? She's my tortie shell.

Luke Spencer (1:03)

Clover.

Alex (1:03)

Okay.

Luke Spencer (1:04)

Yes.

Alex (1:05)

Yeah.

Luke Spencer (1:05)

You will see an Ivan pop in and Alex also has a fifth. Okay. So yes, we are very pro pets on this podcast. Hey, here's a quick thing before we get to the music talk. When you guys go to PetSpar, do they know you by first name?

Um, because they do me and I don't know how I feel about that because I go so much. So I think she may have frozen there. Okay. You can say that again. Learn.

Lern (1:36)

Oh, I was saying that I have a neighborhood pet store that knows me by name, but I use Chewy a lot. Yeah.

Luke Spencer (1:41)

Okay.

Lern (1:41)

Yeah.

Luke Spencer (1:42)

We have Chewy for some medication. So that makes sense.

Alex (1:44)

That's where I'm at, too. I'm like, what do you mean go to the store?

Luke Spencer (1:47)

I know. Well, when you have five little ones, you have to get stuff now. You cannot wait.

Chewy's mercy. Yeah. So, Steve's, thank you so much. 50 likes guarantees us one round of Festival Rocker FOP. We already got some super chats. So we will play the game. We've explained it to learn and preemptively apologize of what the game could do to us. She is aware. I am. That's all we could do. But thank you so much, Steve. Please give it the like button. Whatever super chats you have, we'll read through them all near the end after we get through the news.

I believe that's all the business we have so far before we start going into it. Alex, is there anything else I need to go business wise? Besides the radio station, would you like to plug that really quick before we go into it?

Alex (2:32)

You mean Rocked Radio?

Okay. If you haven't checked out Rocked Radio yet, make sure you check it out now at rockedradio.com. There we go.

Luke Spencer (2:42)

I will make sure. You got a free plug-in anytime. All right. I'm now going to share my screen with my friends. We do have the unfortunate news first that we got hit hard this past week in the world of heavy music with losing two significant figures in alternative pop, punk, rock, whatever you want to call it. First things first, can you see my screen? Actually, let me do this.

Can you both see my screen right now?

Lern (3:17)

I cannot.

Alex (3:18)

Okay.

Luke Spencer (3:20)

Alex, can you?

Alex (3:21)

Yes.

Luke Spencer (3:22)

Okay. I'll let you know what to see. If there might be a button pop up or if you just push the windows on there on your phone, it should allow you to see it, but we'll get there in a second. The first one was a big surprise due to a relatively short fight with cancer of Chad Gilbert, a founding member of Newfound Glory, 45

And that is awful.

Lern (3:43)

Yeah, that's sad.

Luke Spencer (3:44)

We got news about that a few days back and many tributes and messages have been pouring out. I had forgotten that he was married to Haley Williams for a year.

Lern (3:55)

Oh, yes.

Luke Spencer (3:56)

I totally forgot about that. She made a statement earlier today saying just like he made such an impact with everybody.

And while it's weird, that had to put her in a weird spot also.
