00:00We're sound checking in front of a crowded room, I need more of my ears, I can do it myself, yeah, I wanna die, I wanna fucking die, put a bullet in my head, yeah, I still can't do it myself.
00:30Alright, penultimate stop on the Puff Punk tour, penultimate date of 2024 for Puff Punk, we've only got one show after this, Baton Rouge after this, but we're in Oxford, Mississippi tonight, we're playing at the library, the home of Ben Mintz.
00:48Well, I don't know if it's his home, but it's one of his homes.
00:50I was gonna say, I don't know if he's actually from here.
00:51He's got like a hundred homes.
00:52Yeah, everywhere he goes, Ben Mintz is home.
00:53This is one of them.
00:54He'll probably introduce us on stage tonight, he's already offered, he said he's happy to introduce us, we were like, of course you are, we'll see if he does a face down stage dive again, crowd surf.
01:03He did say at the quarterback club that he is going to do that.
01:05That'd be nice.
01:06Double Vauquedon confirmed in, Casey's in, maybe Big Cat will make an appearance.
01:11I know Rone and Dave are flying in today, because they had to do a little extra dissing in Miami last night, last minute.
01:19You said you have a new one that's more brutal?
01:21It's like, it's called Country Diddy.
01:23Oh shit.
01:32And it should be packed.
01:33It should be packed.
01:34Huge game tomorrow.
01:35You were saying this place is gonna be like wall to wall, people are gonna be fucking crammed in there.
01:39I've ran into five different people that don't know each other who have said that the cover will probably be $200.
01:44That's crazy.
01:45Which is insane.
01:46For a punk rock show.
01:47Yeah.
01:48Yeah.
01:49It'll be good.
01:50We're going to the venue soon.
01:51We'll set up.
01:52Hopefully Rone and Dave land in decent time.
01:55I don't even know.
01:56It might get to the point where what if they land when we're walking on stage?
01:59It's like, will Rone be here tonight?
02:01He walks on stage, boom, there he is.
02:02We'll have Mintz cover.
02:03We'll have him.
02:04We'll let him vamp.
02:05We were talking about like, is there any songs on our set list that Mintzy could sing?
02:09And like, when you think of the pop punk voice, it's not exactly the Ben Mintz voice.
02:15All the small things, like I can't imagine Ben Mintz singing that.
02:20I kind of want to see it though.
02:21Yeah, we'll see.
02:22I mean, we might not have a say in it.
02:24We might just be performing and hear Ben Mintz's voice through the mic.
02:26It's like, oh, he grabbed a mic.
02:27We'll see.
02:28Should be a fun night though.
02:29Penultimate night of the pop punk tour.
02:33Feels good.
02:34Feels good to be here.
02:35Everybody looks like either Big T or Jake Malasek.
02:36Just looking around, there's just a shitload of Jake Malasek's here.
02:37What up?
02:38All right, so looking back a few weeks later, our sound check at the library in Oxford was
02:39chaotic to say the least.
02:40I've never set this up before.
02:41This guy just handed it to me.
02:42He goes, all right, you get this set.
02:43Hand me the cables when you're ready.
02:44I'm like, what?
02:45What?
02:46What?
02:47What?
02:48What?
02:49What?
02:50What?
02:51What?
02:52What?
02:53What?
02:54What?
02:55What?
02:56What?
02:57What?
02:58What?
02:59What?
03:00What?
03:01What?
03:02What?
03:03What?
03:04What?
03:05I'm like, I don't even know.
03:06Hand me the cables when you're ready.
03:07Luckily once this week I fucked around with this a little bit.
03:08So the whole show, if we can't hear ourselves, it might be on me.
03:10Be a bad show for that.
03:12You know, sometimes we do shows at bars.
03:15Sometimes we do shows at music venues.
03:17Very rarely do we do shows at the most popular college football bars in America.
03:22This was one of them.
03:23So it was a packed room.
03:24People are coming in, they're getting their bracelets for later that night.
03:26They're coming up to us asking us if we're like on right now, if we're going on later.
03:30We had to tell him this is not the show.
03:32Our lead singer wasn't even there.
03:34My brother's trying to sing, Frankie's trying to sing.
03:37We don't know what chords to plug into what amps.
03:39PFT didn't even have an amp, like they had to build him a digital amp for that show.
03:44So it was chaotic.
03:45Frankie had to sing to an open room.
03:47This is the world, here I am, yeah.
03:53He was a little embarrassed about that, he said never again, but we made it through.
03:58So I was talking to Roan while he was in the middle of his airline difficulties.
04:01He was flying private with Dave from Miami.
04:04And they went down, they came back up, and then they were diverted to a different airport.
04:08And the techs were coming in choppy, obviously, because of the airline Wi-Fi or whatever.
04:13He made it sound like he was going to be three or four hours away.
04:17We started making contingency plans with like extra Caroline songs.
04:20Happier than ever?
04:21Oh yeah.
04:22Yeah.
04:23My brother, I'm not sure if he wants to like celebrate or not.
04:26True.
04:27Can she sing Beacon High School?
04:29Beacon High School, they don't have a venue.
04:33Luckily, that did not become an issue, but we had to plan for anything.
04:37Big news with Mincey though, he volunteered to introduce us and maybe stage dive.
04:42I got a call from Mincey a couple hours ago saying he's going out to dinner with Dave
04:46Portnoy.
04:47He made sure to specify Dave Portnoy.
04:49So he might be a little bit late.
04:51With that said, once he gets here, he is down to stage dive.
04:55So I know that the fans are going to be disappointed to not get an intro from Mincey tonight.
05:00But hopefully he makes it up to him.
05:02So Mincey was a wild card leading up to the night, as he always is.
05:05We invite him up on stage later on.
05:07We figure, invite him up, have him hit the chant.
05:10Crowd goes wild.
05:11Crowd dive.
05:12Stage dive.
05:13Crowd surf.
05:14Whatever it is.
05:16He goes up there.
05:17He does the chant.
05:39We tell him to crowd surf.
05:47I need Mincey to feel strong enough that he can crowd surf on you guys.
05:51Okay?
05:52I need that.
05:53I need that.
05:55And he doesn't.
05:56He stands there, puts his hands in his pockets.
05:58I need hands out of pockets for Mincey too, because that's how you fall over and hurt
06:02yourself.
06:03Signs a couple autographs.
06:04The song goes by.
06:06The next song goes by.
06:07The next song goes by.
06:08He was up there for 27 minutes.
06:09I was looking side stage to the bar sole security, almost being like, escort this guy out.
06:15This guy needs to be out of the building, let alone off the stage.
06:19Eventually, he does crowd surf, and it was a typical Mincey crowd surf.
06:23Right in front of a group of girls that could not hold him up very well, and eventually
06:27he went down.
06:28Obviously, you know what's booming at home.
06:30It's the Pink Whitney's.
06:32We're going out for the Pink Whitney tonight, and I need all of you guys going up to your
06:37bartenders, making sure that it is Pink Whitney going into your vault tonight.
06:43I promise you that will change your entire life.
06:45Are you watching this craving Pink Whitney?
06:47Watching us drink it on stage?
06:48I know you're craving it.
06:49Get the party bucket right now for you and your friends.
06:51You've got 20 50 milliliter bottles in here.
06:53You fill this bucket with ice, and the party is here.
06:56Get the Pink Whitney party bucket now.
06:58Take your shot with Pink Whitney.
07:00Oxford talked a big game about the library, and they backed it up.
07:04It was packed like sardines in there.
07:06Every time we came out with hats or bandanas, something to throw out, it was like baby birds
07:11reaching from a mother bird.
07:12They were trying to get everything.
07:13At one point, I bent down and was holding picks like this, and guys were just botting
07:17girls out of the way to get picks out of my hand.
07:20It was absolutely dangerous.
07:22They were getting autographs from Mincy.
07:23They were getting autographs from everyone.
07:25One guy gave my brother a hat.
07:26He said, hey, can you get them to autograph this?
07:28He said, absolutely.
07:29As my brother turned around, he said, hey, just PFT and Frankie.
07:32I don't know what that was all about, but Oxford brought it.
07:35The library's packed.
07:36It was hard to get in and out of there.
07:38The line was out the door all night.
07:39It was a hell of a night.
07:41Hell yeah!
07:42Damn right!
07:43I ain't lying, I'm not lying.
07:46Who the hell needs this?
07:47What's good?
