Cake

and enjoy going the distance in it.

Anybody else hearing the song from Cake? Anyway, sorry.

Enjoy going the distance with it, and then get to the location and enjoy the drive.

These Z4M hatchbacks look great.

Beer Coaster Bloodhound Gang yeah sure yeah I think I

hate to admit I think that might I know it has more artistic merit than this one does but if we're going down that road I'm stuck with like why the fuck didn't we just get Cake And call it a goddamn fucking day.

Fashion nugget.

Fashion nugget, dude.

A good white shit though.

Like my, I mean, I love Weezer Weezer to me, Scott, like we, um, Weezer is like, Weezer and Cake are siblings, in my opinion.

One reminds me of the other, but I just love going all the way back to when Buddy Holly came out.

I always love, love, love how thick and fuzzy and heavy their guitar tone is.

Uh, I probably have heard of the artist, but I have no idea who they are.

Cake?

Cake?

Yeah.

[laughs]

Shut Up and Dance-

Is that, is that an artist?

... by Cake.

I'm just waiting for him to call me and tell me what the specs are, and I'm saying yes or no to him essentially.

There's a little bit of give in the deal, and we work through that, but the difference is I never say, "Bruce, I want Cake on this day." I wait for Bruce to say, "Cake's gonna play Phoenix.

Send me an offer and check these dates."

I want Cake, but my v- venue's too small.

But you have the other venue that he has me bid him for.

Yeah, yeah.

If you're in the room with someone sitting in their office, they're going to spend time stop looking at the screen and they're going to talk to you.

When you meet someone here or you meet someone in their office, the likability goes up and the odds of them actually calling you and selling you something goes up.

Yeah.

I mean, open up for Cake, Amy Mann, Gavin DeGraw, O-Town, B.B. Mac, Ryan Cabrera.

Just a ton of like weird random people.

How many of those names did

I knew Talib

Kweli.

Okay, well, Cake, you might recognize some of their songs.

Oh, Cake.

Actually, I know I've told this story many times.

It was because the band Cake was so terrible at Bumbershoot.

Me and my buddy Joe went to see Cake.

They were awful.

Sorry to the Cake fans in the audience.

Maybe they were having a bad day.

That I just, we, I was like, "I don't wanna watch this," and I went just walking somewhere else and then bumped into this woman who I had known from a year previous, and there she was, and we started chatting, and we did a little dance 'cause there was a swing band playing.
