Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Ross in Patterson Revolution!

Ross, you by GhostBet.com!

Where were you? Where was it? Where were you? Where were you when you got the news that James Edward Smashmouth had died?

Gosh, was that his name? It was to a lot of us. Yeah, I was getting out of the shower when you called me and asked if I was sitting down.

And when your husband is about to get on a plane or is like out of town and you say sound really serious like that. It was worse.

It was worse than whatever you could have told me about the planes going down.

Make it, like we got an accident, anything, what he told me was worse. So he geared me up.

I'll put that pick on the screen, please. Legend.

Those were the days when just an underneath shot was fine.

Was it?

Were you just put that right on the elbow?

Has that ever been fine? Has that ever been acceptable? Probably not.

Is that folds or is that sharpie or is that hair? I don't know if it's a shadow.

Not sure, but here's what happens when a record label doesn't believe in you.

They take photos like this, put it out into the world and then they race your music out to the people and then they get rid of you and throw you under a fucking bus because they don't believe in you.

They don't believe in your talents. They don't believe that you're the man that's going to single-handedly change the fucking world.

James Edward smash mouth did that and was still doing that to this very day.

Now, I apologize. I just got back in town. I'm struggling with this as there are a lot of people at home.

But there was a listener that came out to me Friday. We did an event in Miami and he said, hey, man, you're an all-star.

James Edward smash mouth said that.

When you hear quotes like that from celebrities passed on to you is if you're even in the same breath as James Edward smash mouth, it means a lot.

And forgive me. And then 48 hours later, boom, he's up and dead on Labor Day.
