| 0:00.0 | We are hanging out here with Pete Perrata, famous drummer, formerly of the offspring. |
| 0:06.7 | And there's a lot of stuff I want to talk to you about, but I guess it's like the first interview |
| 0:10.3 | you've ever done following the news situation you found yourself in. |
| 0:15.5 | Yeah. I mean, for about a year and a half, I've just sort of stayed out of it, stayed away from it. And, you know, |
| 0:22.7 | I didn't want to talk to anybody that that's all they wanted to talk about, you know. |
| 0:28.2 | We're definitely going to talk about it. |
| 0:30.0 | For sure. |
| 0:30.4 | And being in the band. But no, yeah, I thought it would be cool. And I appreciate you coming on and |
| 0:35.0 | talking about it. But there's probably a bunch of other stuff we could talk about for sure. The gist of the story, I guess, is you played in the band The Offspring, which I'm sure many people have heard of, for 14 years. |
| 0:45.3 | Yep. |
| 0:45.9 | 14 years. And then they unceremoniously fired you over the Vax mandates. |
| 0:50.8 | Yeah. I mean, basically, I guess we'll just dive right in. Well, we will, but that's, I want to make sure, like, everybody who's tuning in, now they understand, like, the big cultural context, I suppose. But I'm definitely interested in talking to about the music industry in general. And I want to start off by telling you a, a quick story, which is just really crazy. So, what is today's Friday? Wednesday night, |

| 1:19.6 | but I'll tell you the story anyway. And I'm getting ready for bed. I go in my bedroom with my girlfriend, |
| 1:23.8 | right? And I turn the TV on. It's a smart TV, meaning like you turn a smart |
| 1:28.3 | TV on, you got to pick an app. Right. Normally when to turn it on, there's nothing on. So I turn |
| 1:32.6 | the TV on, put the remote down, go in the bathroom, take out my contacts, you know, watch my face |
| 1:37.4 | or something. And then all of a sudden I hear Killboy Powerhead, Offspring song. And I'm like, did Allison turn something on? And I walked back into the room and she goes, Allison says, did you turn this on? |
| 1:47.5 | And I was like, no. |
| 1:49.0 | And I look, and it's you at a big show playing in the offspring with, you know, and Killboy |
| 1:56.2 | Powerhead was a song, y'all were playing. |
| 1:58.0 | And then Allison was like, that's really weird. |
