Summary

Today my friends Hunter Thompson and Sam Wilkerson of the band White Reaper stop by and talk all about their new album Asking For A Ride which just came out last month.

We dive into all kinds of topics including touring with Pearl Jam, their love of Comedy, and the struggles with down time during the pandemic.

I can't recommend their new record enough. It goes from some real heavy thrash metal to some amazing Weezer type pop hooks.

Go see White Reaper out on tour right now around the US.

My up coming tour schedule is available at https://www.deandelray.com

This week you can catch me in San Francisco 4 nights Feb 22nd thru 25th at the Punchline.

Thanks again for all your support.

0:00.0	Hey, what's up everybody? Thanks for turning into another episode. I'll have to be
0:04.2	talked today is Tuesday February 21st. Sorry the episode is a day late but I had a
0:12.7	fucking whirlwind of a weekend and needed some rest. That's just the honest
0:18.5	truth. I got up at 5 a.m. on a Friday and flew to Salt Lake City then drove
0:27.1	three and a half hours to Elco, Nevada where it was about four degrees. Did
0:34.2	two headlining shows then ate something or I don't know caught some kind of

0:54.5	I just felt like I don't know if it was food poisoning. I ate it some fucking
0:58.8	place called Taco Time which my good buddy Shaolin recommended. He was
1:07.6	featuring for me all weekend. What's good of Taco Time? It's good. I had a
1:15.0	complete weekend of shit food. I do not eat shitty anymore for six, seven years
1:21.3	now. I eat completely healthy and clean and I was just fucking screwed any corner
1:27.8	I went on this weekend. I had stepped in to get breakfast tacos at this place at
1:35.6	the airport. They said breakfast just ended. There was nothing on there. I
1:40.4	starved. So I had a burger. There was the top three worst burgers I've ever had in
1:47.0	my life and that was horrific. Meanwhile on and off this kind of I don't know
1:55.7	was it stomach flu or food poisoning was just spinning around. So anyway two
2:00.8	shows on Saturday night were both sold out in Elco. Fantastic. Thank you Elco.
2:05.5	Wow. And then I flew home. It didn't feel well on and off. It took the day off.
2:12.1	So here it is. Great episode worth the wait. White Reaper stops back by here
2:18.6	today. Unbelievable. My man Sam and Hunter. Sam the old bass player. Hunter guitar.
