Alex (0:42)

My name is Alex.

Luke (0:43)

Hope you all are doing well as we say farewell to an eventful and odd September. It is September 30th, how we are broadcasting right now.

Thank you all so much, especially to the Steves who are sitting here live right now with us on YouTube. Very thankful for all the Steves here.

50 likes gets us one round of Festival Rocker Flop. Last week we had Learn from the Rosuto Show join with us and I think we scared her away.

Alex (1:07)

Oops, sorry.

Luke (1:08)

We did talk her out of naming a festival after herself if it was bad, and boy did that come in handy.

Alex (1:14)

Yeah, don't sign up unless you know who's on the line.

Luke (1:17)

Yeah, you don't want to name things after yourself unless you already know it's good. I mean, come on now. So thank you all so much. You all are doing very well. Thank you so much as well to my radio program director who has achieved some significant goals. We are honing in since today's the last day of the month on better numbers than I would have anticipated for first month net new to the public radio station.

Anything you would like to add, Alex, about Rocked Radio?

Alex (1:52)

Just listen, like support an independent radio station in Rocked Radio, really bringing what we want to hear as rock and metal fans, alternative fans to everyone else. So listen to it, check it out, tell your friends to listen to it, check it out. It's totally free, so it's not going to cost you a thing.

Luke (2:10)

Yes. Also, I echo that thought, tell your friends. If every one person listening right now got one friend to listen to Rocked Radio, numbers skyrocket that way, and that is how it works. So you know what?

That's how a lot of YouTube channels get discovered by people telling other people. So friends, family members, co-workers, neighbors, whatever it might be. Hey, if you know someone that hates me, tell them to listen to me and hate listen. Listen to listen. That's an attitude, right?

Alex (2:39)

There you go. OK. Motivation.

Luke (2:41)

Yes, exactly.

Just listen. Go ahead and yell back at the radio. I don't care. I'm sure people will do that.

Alex (2:48)

Honestly, that's how you are supposed to listen to radio. We're here to keep you company on the other end, DJing, hosting for you. Talk back at us.

Luke (2:55)

Yeah, yeah, absolutely. And make the neighbors worry about you for a week.

So before we get into the spooky month, the best month of the year, October. Is there anything we should? We'll have some more information and good news to share with everyone. Very good news.

Alex (3:14)

Fun things.

Luke (3:15)

We have positive things to talk about this week. And one's very cool for us. Later on, we have something stupid that got posted today.

Not stupid so much as someone did something dumb or said something horrible, as it is just what the world, that type of thing.

Alex (3:33)

And Luke's keeping me in the dark, so we're going to find out whatever he's talking about together.

Luke (3:38)

Yes. So anything else before we get going on the Slipknot updates, because there were quite a few of them.

Alex (3:47)

Let's just jump right in. Okay.

Luke (3:49)

Let me see if I could share my screen. I should be ready. Entire screen.

Wabam and Wabam. For those who are not aware, Slipknot are doubling down and playing it big. They are going for the sickest stadium tour. Not arena tour, not amphitheaters. They have gone big and are getting baseball and football stadiums and sock and pitch stadiums as well, to be fair to everyone else around the world. They're going everywhere for this in 2027 So it starts next year. There's plenty of time. Tickets go on sale to the public, I believe, in just this week on Friday. They were announced on Monday. I know there are pre-sales. I don't know about sellouts. All I know is, yes, it's a Live Nation venture. Yes, it's massive. And depending on your city, you'll get different openers. You will get Bring Me The Horizon on almost all of them. Slipknot and Bring Me The Horizon in football and baseball stadiums is the massive metal headliner show.
