High Road - Zach Bryan

Zach Bryan was a drifter, known only by the rhythmic stomp of his boots and the eerie hum of a country tune. By day, he was a ghost in the crowd, but by night, he danced in front of the dead. The bodies, pale and frozen in their final expressions, were lined up in the abandoned barn he called his stage. No one knew where they came from, only that Zach always found them. Under the flicker of a single hanging bulb, his steps echoed, each thud more sinister than the last. As his boots hit the dirt, the corpses seemed to sway, compelled by some unseen force. Zach’s eyes glowed with a vacant joy, lost in a dance that would never end—until he found another audience.

Bevo
He's more afraid of you than you are of him.

01:59.35
Chibbs
New York this time of year ain't good for me because all my friends lack self-control and empathy. All the boys are crawling in some shithole in the wall again.

02:10.69
Bevo
and

02:10.87
Chibbs
I miss this place more than I missed my home.

02:11.62
Bevo
way

02:13.76
Chibbs
Everyone is telling me that I need help or therapy, but all I need is to be left alone.

02:18.91
gav
All right.

02:20.69
Bevo
These don't sound like lyrics. They sound like just a genuine like cry for help.

02:25.10
Chibbs
It's a Facebook post.

02:26.29
gav
I was just about to say I can name whose Facebook post this is.

02:26.65
Bevo
Yeah.

02:31.09
gav
Following up, I reckon Bevo knows who I'm talking about. You know who I'm talking about, Bevo? This reads like a Facebook post of someone that...

02:42.85
Chibbs
ah Yeah, it's just such a bitchy, windy goddamn verse, isn't it?

02:44.17
gav
I've got to say, it starts off strong. Adderall and white lace bras is a fucking cracking opening line.

02:52.89
Chibbs
I reckon that's all he had.

02:53.34
Mad Dog
Yeah, it's a mad one.

02:54.91
Chibbs
I reckon that's all he had and everything everything went, ah, fuck, um you know I need to get this song out like tomorrow.

Mad Dog
Yeah.

02:56.01
gav
He wrote the song off that.

Just the mannequins. Ooh.

03:12.00

03:13.46
Chibbs
Well, I haven't been on fucking, I haven't been peped up with methamphetamines at bars and things.

03:16.88
Bevo
You know, it's a funny, it's a funny thing.

03:20.76
Bevo
It's a funny thing to go into bras and things and just squeeze the, the breasts on the models because it makes people uncomfortable, but it's, you're not doing anything wrong.

03:20.86
Mad Dog
Autismed up.

03:26.42
Chibbs
You just feel in the goods.

03:29.55
gav
Uh,

03:29.92
Mad Dog
You're just admiring the lace.

03:33.35
Chibbs

03:50.40
Mad Dog

03:52.50
Chibbs
Yeah, okay, cool. So he pops some pills and goes and feels some titties at bras and things.

03:57.06
Bevo
yeah

03:57.40
Chibbs
That's how he spends most of his time.

03:58.28
gav
Which just sounds like a fantastic Wednesday afternoon.

04:01.19
Mad Dog
It does.

04:01.20
Chibbs
This is, it's funny because he does start strong and then it doesn't take him long to be like, oh wait, I'm a country artist. I've mentioned my pickup truck.

04:08.20
Bevo
Hmm.

04:09.20
Mad Dog
Yeah, that's right.

gav
I think he's going to have to by end of verse three, I reckon there's a dead dog.

04:25.60
Chibbs
Great.

04:26.32
Mad Dog
the line that stood out to The line that stood out to me was all his friends lack self-control and empathy.

04:26.38
gav
And if there's not, there should be.

04:34.58
Chibbs
Yeah, they're all psychopaths.

04:36.36

Yeah, that's a great point.

04:37.70
Bevo
Empathy, especially.

Chibbs
Yeah.

04:39.53
Mad Dog

04:55.91

05:23.69

Chibbs

08:27.87

08:34.61
Bevo
Oh, yeah.

08:35.00
Chibbs
I have to play the whole fucking thing.

08:35.69

So, without without that playing again now, sing the melody for me, ah it was hard to hear you under that.

09:10.18
Bevo
I've been missing your strawberry kisses, the taste of it.

09:14.06
gav
Yeah.

09:14.38
Mad Dog
Yeah, nice.

09:16.34
Chibbs
um

09:16.38
gav
Yeah.

09:17.55
Bevo
But yes, it is funny that he waits by the telephone all night.

09:20.81
gav
All fucking night.

09:21.18
Bevo
look Yeah.

09:21.20
Chibbs
especially Especially when he knows they're not going to call.

09:24.29
Mad Dog
yeah

09:24.45
Chibbs
I like to imagine it's one of those, I think everyone at some point in their life has dreamed of doing this, is the sitting in the dark in a chair waiting for someone to come home.

09:37.23
Chibbs
but so you

09:37.33
Bevo
yeah

09:37.74
gav
I've been expecting you so you can spin around and reveal yourself.

09:38.79
Bevo
Yeah, rocking chair.

09:40.72
Chibbs
ah yeah it's so you can like I'll just pull the like the the string on the lamp next to you.

09:45.63
Bevo
yeah

09:46.05
Mad Dog
Where the fuck have you been?

09:47.91
Chibbs
Where have you been?

09:49.21
gav
Oh my god.

09:49.87
Bevo
What time do you call this?

09:50.52
Chibbs
yeah

09:54.43
Mad Dog
But so she's coming back and haunting him forever.

09:58.38
gav
Forever. Yep.

10:00.59
Chibbs
Who's calling then?

10:01.38
Mad Dog
war Forever.

10:02.64
Chibbs
The ghost?

10:04.47
Mad Dog
It's a ghost call. Yeah.

10:05.69
gav
So I think i think if if you want if you want to get literal with it, which is you've if you want to know the actual answer to that, I think the song is mostly about his mum dying and then he's him realizing that he's never going to get those like late night phone calls from his mum again or something.

10:08.41
Bevo
Hello, boo!

10:21.10
Mad Dog
oh

10:28.05
Chibbs
What a little bitch.

10:28.42
Bevo
Whose mum is calling it late at night?

10:29.75
Mad Dog
Yeah, right.

10:29.85
Chibbs
Yeah.

10:30.99
gav
Well, also I'm confused as to why he started talking about Adderall and Whitelace bras when he says the songs about his mom.

10:35.15
Mad Dog
It's a complicated relationship.

10:37.88
Chibbs
ah Yeah, I'm skeptical. I think he decided at some point this was about his mum.

10:39.55
Bevo
and leaving jeans in the truck.

10:41.88
Chibbs
Yeah.

10:42.37
gav
Yeah.

10:42.50
Mad Dog
Yeah.

10:42.76

gav
I think that's definitely true.

13:51.89
Mad Dog
sir

13:53.06
gav
Also, I'm starting to think he might be a zombie and this song might be about the apocalypse because he's robbed a grave, but also the before that, he says the bad things took your brain.

13:59.75
Chibbs
Right, okay.

14:01.39
Mad Dog
Yeah.

14:04.99

Your mother, ah she had a um ah blah, blah, blah, blah tumor. It was in this sector of her brain and whatever. And we weren't able to operate.

Mad Dog

15:27.46
gav
I love it, obviously.

Chibbs
Oh, here we go.

15:37.62
gav
Yeah.

15:40.21
Chibbs
There you go, that's a palette cleanser.

15:40.35
gav
Yeah, there we go.

15:40.48
Mad Dog
Yeah.

15:43.13
Chibbs
Because it's the only part of this song that wasn't about his dead mother.

15:43.31

Bevo
like may make hun Me tonking to this one.

16:00.07
Mad Dog

16:01.41
Chibbs
Yeah.

16:01.93
Mad Dog
but

16:02.25

16:03.02
Chibbs

16:09.86
Mad Dog
a

16:10.81
Chibbs
Helped hands in his belt loops and he's just shuffling in front of the corpse of his mother.

16:12.81
gav
rock

16:13.07
Bevo
Big hat.

16:13.26
Mad Dog

16:14.28
gav
It's very very Thomas Harris.

16:16.27
Chibbs
And and it's dead, it is dead silent.

16:17.32
gav
It's a bit Red Dragon, isn't it?

16:20.15
Mad Dog
So I like the image of like his mum's dead corpse that he's propped up on the porch swing.

16:21.18
Chibbs
You can only hear the out of breath sound of a drunk person with his boots scuffing the ground.

16:22.49
gav
The scuffing of his boots.

16:22.74
Bevo
The shop shuffle of his feet.

16:24.59
gav
The scuffing of his cowboy boots on the timber deck.

16:27.35
Mad Dog
on the plank that's inspirational I better write a song about this

16:32.93
Chibbs
it's so

16:36.54
Chibbs
and

16:38.61
gav
Sounds like me jerking off.

16:40.35
Chibbs
Yeah, while he stares into the empty eye sockets of his mother's corpse.

16:47.41
Bevo
great song.

16:48.47
gav
ah

16:49.20
Chibbs
I didn't write it. right

16:50.86
gav
Oh fuck, I wish I'd read it now.

16:53.82
Chibbs
ah ah nah Yeah.

16:54.75
Bevo
That's it.

16:56.38
gav
Is that it?

16:57.89
Chibbs
Yeah, it is.

16:58.16
Mad Dog
That's it.

16:58.75
Chibbs
yeah He basically just copies and pastes random and bits from other bits of the song.

17:00.81
gav
Oh fuck, he does too, that's short.

17:03.16
Chibbs
there He couldn't even bother to conclude the song for his dead mother.

17:10.42
gav
yeah

17:11.37
Chibbs
It's like, ah, that's enough. ah just whatever Leave me the fuck alone.

17:15.70
Mad Dog
That'll do, Mom.

17:17.01
Chibbs
That'll do. It was released on the 8th of November, 2024. It's a very new. It was requested a lot for some reason.

17:23.50
gav
a

17:23.82
Chibbs
I think Zapper just must have pissed a lot of people off at some point because I kind of got a flooded with it.

17:27.70
Mad Dog
bit

17:30.25
Mad Dog
But I don't think we've got a country audience.

17:32.58
Chibbs
I think this broke into mainstream.

17:32.96
Mad Dog
So why are they?

17:35.24
Chibbs
So.

17:35.49
Mad Dog
Oh, did it?

17:35.68
gav
Yeah, I think this is this this is a radio this's is getting radio play.

17:36.55
Mad Dog
Okay.

17:37.82
Bevo
So here's the thing though, about our audience, sounds like I'm going to go ham on, like you're not getting Zach Bryant fans coming on to hear us talk shit about Zach Bryan.

17:38.38
Chibbs
Yeah.

17:49.36
Chibbs
No, that's true.

17:49.83
Bevo
You know, maybe they'll, maybe they'll search for Zach Bryan and see the podcast and go, Oh yeah, I'll give this a go.

17:50.78
Mad Dog
That's true.

17:51.70
Chibbs
I'll be disappointed.

17:55.01
Bevo
But I think, yeah, yeah. I don't think we're attracting the fans. I think we're attracting the people who don't like these songs. I hope anyway, I don't know.

18:04.25
Chibbs
Yeah.

18:04.29
gav
We'll find out if we get a flame in the comments.

18:04.49
Mad Dog
that's That's the idea.

18:06.34
Chibbs
Yeah.

18:07.11
Bevo
or we're attracting people like us who like music as a general thing and are okay with talking about it.

18:07.22
gav
if

18:13.21
Chibbs
The last time I looked, I think, I think the last time I looked, it's like 40% of our audience is US based.

18:14.07
Mad Dog
Talking shit about it.

18:21.12
gav
Is it that high?

18:22.23
Chibbs
Yeah, it's really odd.

18:24.07
gav
Fuck.

18:24.07
Chibbs
Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, I don't know.

18:25.85
Mad Dog
I love you, Yanks.

18:26.17
gav
9-11, eh?

18:26.35
Bevo

18:27.95
Chibbs

18:28.06
gav
And the thing.

18:30.39
Bevo
butdy Aaron Carter.

18:32.26

18:33.23
Mad Dog
it's It's year after year that is our best episode.

18:33.58
gav

18:46.14
Mad Dog
what What is it about Aaron Carter?

18:46.25
Chibbs
Yeah, I know I don't know People are probably trying to make a documentary about him and it's they're going we're just looking for any source material And it's us just being like this fucking retard can't spell and Yes, yeah, you can't if you're if you're on so

18:50.48
gav
He died.

18:50.77
Bevo
I reckon you search that song and it's probably the only other thing that comes up is our podcast, possibly.

18:56.87
Mad Dog
Maybe.

18:59.78
Bevo
It's just... a

19:05.97
gav
I'd love to know if anyone's a listener of the show that only got here because they looked up Aaron Carter and ended up listening to this instead of that fucking song.

19:06.41
Mad Dog
Okay.

19:14.76
Mad Dog
ah Aaron Carter was on rep too.

19:16.88
Chibbs
yeah Yeah, yeah. If you're on Spotify, you can just scroll down and and write us a message pretty much.

19:18.46
gav
Yeah.

19:22.09
Chibbs
So yeah, do that.

19:22.47
gav
Yeah, true.

19:23.40
Bevo
we We need to know.

19:23.50
gav
Wait, is that public? Can people then see it?

19:25.27
Chibbs
No, I have to approve it, I think before it's public.

19:27.58
gav
Okay, good.

19:28.44
Chibbs
Yeah.

19:28.97
gav
hey i don't I don't like the sound of that.

19:32.19
Chibbs
No,

19:32.55
Mad Dog
We don't have a strict policy.

19:35.26
Chibbs
I also look at it rarely, but yeah, the, it was originally teased under the working title of motor breath.

19:35.54
Mad Dog
Everything is approved.

19:40.49
Bevo
Metallica.

19:43.21
gav
Oh, God.

19:45.30
Chibbs
Which is like, it wasn't always about your dead mum. Were you gonna call it motor breaths when it was about your dead mum?

19:51.93
Mad Dog
Aldo, motor breath mama.

19:56.12
gav
Yeah.

19:56.26
Bevo
Motor breath, time will live my life.

20:01.58
Chibbs
So we dropped High Road. um Okay, so ah let me try and break down why this this got through to the mainstream and everything.

20:12.04
gav
yeah

20:12.19
Chibbs
He, he was dating this chick called Brianna Chicken Fry.

20:20.01
Mad Dog
What?

20:20.59
Chibbs
It's not her actual name. It's like she's a podcaster and she worked.

20:23.42
Mad Dog
Oh.

20:25.40
gav
Brianna chicken fly lapugmia.

20:27.00
Chibbs
Yeah, there you go. She works for Barstool Sports and, um, and she has a really popular podcast apparently.

20:28.54
Mad Dog
Okay.

20:34.17
Chibbs
And, uh, she was dating Zach Bryant. And then ah ah she thought she was Danny Zach Bryan, but then he just posted on all these socials and everything that they'd broken up.

20:48.72
gav
Oh, fuck.

20:48.94
Mad Dog
Oh.

20:49.76
Chibbs
um And apparently then she went on a podcast like that day and just dropped bombs like he's fucking emotionally abusive he was telling me ah you know basically just you need to just shut your mouth and stay in here and clean my house and you know just like real hectic shit and um and yeah i can't sit i can't sit by this phone all night i need you to be

21:12.50
Mad Dog
Well.

21:13.29
Bevo
Get back in those walls.

21:15.56
gav
would have been and Zombies outside.

21:22.13
Bevo
Get back in those walls and I'll just stay here behind the phone just in case.

21:26.69
Chibbs
ah

21:27.53
Bevo
It's funny, you know, when like someone calls and like, you're clogging up the line.

21:33.25
Chibbs
trying to use the internet so and yes yeah that's a big thing

21:34.70
Mad Dog
Yeah.

21:38.10
gav
Um, apparently she, she claims that, um, chicken fryer claims that, um, Zach Brian offered her $12 million dollars to sign a non non-disclosure agreement that would ban her from discussing their relationship or break up.

21:51.70
Chibbs
Yeah, so basically as soon as this podcast coming out, lawyers have fucking on instantly been like, oh shit. Like she can basically go on the internet and say anything. He used to take $12 million dollars to shut up.

22:04.26
Chibbs
And um she went, no.

22:05.78
gav
And she said, no.

22:07.43
Chibbs
But it's funny because Dave Portnoy, who started Barstool Sports and then sold it to another big media company for, hey, hundreds of millions of dollars.

22:18.87
Chibbs
And then that media company ran Barstool Sports into the ground and Portnoy brought it back for a dollar.

22:24.99
gav
Oh shit.

22:25.36
Mad Dog
Oh!

22:26.69
Chibbs
Yeah. And now it's worth billions again.

22:31.06
Mad Dog
ah I love that she's just gone, you can stick your 12 million up your ass.

22:31.31
gav
What a fucking legend.

22:37.15
Chibbs
Yeah, well apparently Portnoy is like, oh fuck, I'm into $12 million, you should take it, but if you don't take it, you know, you'll be alright.

22:44.97
gav
You'll be right.

22:45.44
Chibbs
Yeah, yeah.

22:46.00
Mad Dog
Yeah, she'd rather talk shit about him than take 12 million bucks.

22:46.11
gav
We'll get back.

22:48.92
Chibbs
100%. Also, we'll get there, but like, you'd have to be skeptical if he has $12 million.

22:49.85
Mad Dog
Yeah.

22:55.65
Chibbs
dollars

22:56.63
Mad Dog
Well, it's it's a pointer towards net worth.

22:56.98
gav
yeah

22:58.62
Chibbs
There it is. ah So Brian was born in Okinawa, Japan.

23:06.20
gav
well Well, I was just about to say it's got to be.

23:07.41
Chibbs
Yeah, but he grew up in Oklahoma.

23:09.56
Mad Dog
Obviously an army brat.

23:10.81
Chibbs
Yeah, army brat, army brat. I don't think they were there like on holiday or anything.

23:14.32
gav
Yep.

23:17.18
Chibbs
yeah um He was an active duty member of the United States Navy for seven years and he enlisted when he was 17 years old. ah He got big on YouTube. He started uploading songs that he was recording on his iPhone while he was deployed.

23:36.70
Chibbs
And when he got home, he released an album called All My Homies Hate Ticketmaster.

23:44.60
gav
Oh, to be honest, great fucking name.

23:46.66
Bevo
Yeah, true.

23:46.99
Chibbs
Yeah, and it was a live album that he did. He was arrested in 2023. He does have the face of someone that's been arrested.

23:56.71
Bevo
yeah

23:57.20
gav
For something sick.

23:58.90
Chibbs
and Let me have a look.

23:58.97
Mad Dog
I would know.

23:59.82
Chibbs
he was yeah Yeah, he was arrested by the Highway Patrol for obstruction in Oklahoma.

24:05.70
gav
As in he was obstructing the road or rope he was in instructt obstructing the course of justice.

24:06.06
Chibbs
What is obstruction?

24:09.26
Bevo
Yeah. Yeah.

24:09.36
Mad Dog
Blocking the road.

24:09.98
Bevo
Let's stand in the middle of the road. like

24:12.02
Chibbs
Is that it? I don't know. It just says obstruction.

24:15.19
Mad Dog
Did you say highway patrol?

24:15.24
Chibbs
I don't know.

24:15.87
gav
He was arrested by the highway patrol, so shit.

24:16.06
Chibbs
Anyway. Yeah, Highway Patrol.

24:19.06
Bevo
Yeah.

24:19.22
Chibbs
Yeah.

24:19.37
Mad Dog
Blocking the road, I guess.

24:19.76
Bevo
So it's probably a block to block the cops from getting to a ah scene maybe.

24:22.84
Chibbs
What a, what a piece of shit.

24:25.06
gav
What a legend.

24:25.25
Chibbs
Yeah. So he he dated this chicken fry chick and all of that happened and whatever. But, um, yeah, apparently Dave Portnoy and the other host of the podcast, Josh Richards, released a song the same day High Road came out called Smallest Man, which, um, Dave Portnoy and Josh Richards, her podcast co-hosts.

24:44.03
Mad Dog
Jesus.

24:44.26
gav
Who did, sorry?

24:50.48
Chibbs
Just wrote and recorded a song called Smallest Man and released it, but it was taken down next to instantly after legal requests from Warner Music Group.

25:02.58
Chibbs
it's just

25:02.83
Mad Dog
So there's some serious beef caught up in this.

25:05.36
Chibbs
Yeah, it's just, it's like, what did he do? That he's like, his lawyers are like, uh, 12 million. I'll give you 12 million. It's not his wife. It's not his fiance. It's not, it's just the cheeky state. I'll give you 12 million dollars to not, to not talk about Zach.

25:21.83
Mad Dog
I reckon the best person to comment on this is Gav because if there's some weird sexual shit there

25:29.11
gav
Nah, see, all right.

25:29.24
Bevo
Kef's often at the bottom of it.

25:32.76
gav
but huh I don't think it's some weird sexual fit shit. I think he just, I think he just sounds like a bit of a piece of shit.

25:39.69
Bevo

25:44.31
Chibbs

The report said for a second time Bertram told the driver to get back in his truck and that he is interfering with his police duties and that if he did not comply, that he would be going to jail. Brian responded saying, I'll go to jail. Let's do it. According to the police report at the time Bertram removed his handcuffs and placed the male under arrest.

Bevo
Hmm.

05:48.87
Chibbs
It's still in the top 100.

05:49.01

Oh, Kendrick's got all five.

06:13.53
Chibbs
countries

06:13.57
Bevo
Kendrick has the top five spots in the top five, which like he only shares that record with the Beatles. ah Drake.

06:18.92
Chibbs
i think it's um three three out three albums in a row that have had number one debuts or something yeah

06:26.19
Bevo
Yeah, something like that.

06:27.07
gav
Um, did you see we were speaking about the Drake Kendrick beef a while ago on the pod. Um, I think Kendrick Lamar just announced like a 21-date tour with SZA, who we've also done on the Pod.

06:43.23
gav
pod um And it's an entirely North American tour, but he's playing one single show outside of North America, and that is in Canada.

06:55.52
Chibbs
yeah great of course he is yeah that's great that's so good amazing fucking amazing he is he really is that's so good

06:55.83
gav
um He's playing in Toronto.

06:56.14
Mad Dog
Yeah.

06:58.25
gav
Just one show one show in in Drake's hometown.

06:58.75
Mad Dog
International.

06:58.89
Bevo
drake had Drake's house. It's Drake's house.

07:04.33
gav
Like on, I think it's on father's day. Guy's a bad dog, man. The fucking cracked me up. over

07:25.52
Mad Dog
I fucking love that.

07:26.54
Chibbs
Yeah, that's good. Okay.

07:27.41
gav
It's so fucking, it goes too hard.

07:27.74
Chibbs
Net worth. It's so hard. It's harder than Zach. um ah Less ghosts, but, you know, way harder. What do you think Zach Bryan is worth in 2024?

07:40.68
Chibbs
I'll be saying 25 soon. 2024, Gavin.

07:42.79
gav
Oh shit. So the fact that they were willing to pay $12 million dollars to his ex to make her shut the fuck up is I'm gonna go with the logic.

07:53.05
Chibbs
Hmm. Hmm.

07:58.96
gav
I think it was, was it Jay-Z? Someone said, don't buy something you can't afford to buy twice.

08:04.34
Chibbs
like Okay.

08:04.96
gav
I reckon he's worth more than you think. I'm going a flat 24 because I'm saying that he wouldn't have given up more than half of his network to shut her up.

08:11.89
Chibbs
Yeah, okay. All right, okay. Bevo, what do you reckon?

08:15.12
Bevo
See, I reckon it's it's um record company money, not his money. So I'm going to go with a low six mil.

08:23.19
Chibbs
Okay, doggy.

08:26.39
Mad Dog
Um, I was chatting with Gav earlier and asking about the country blind spot. And I have to admit, I have a fucking massive country blind spot.

08:37.87
Mad Dog
So this guy in my mind could be worth anywhere between 12 million and fucking $2 billion.

08:42.72
Chibbs
and

08:44.58
Mad Dog
dollars

08:45.91
Chibbs
yeah yeah i know what you mean yeah richest person in the world

08:48.08
Mad Dog
I ah don't even know who he is. So I'm going to say.

08:50.68
gav
I promise, I promise Mad Dog, I promise you he's this side of a billy.

08:55.28
Mad Dog
Okay.

08:55.75
Bevo
yeah

08:56.06
Mad Dog
So we're not talking Rihanna level.

08:58.87
gav
We're not talking Rihanna.

08:59.16
Mad Dog
Like, does he have a, does he have a cent?

08:59.89
Bevo
He hasn't got a cent.

09:00.19
gav
Let's reign it, reign it back, reign it back to less than one bill.

09:03.34
Mad Dog
Okay. All right. All right. Fuck this cunt. Maybe 30 million.

09:09.22
Chibbs
Yeah, okay. It was real unclear. i had to go I really had to dive around here to to track a ah number down, but yeah the yeah, the best I could figure is that he's worth somewhere between $10 and $15 million US.

09:15.61
gav
He had to, he had to text his agent.

09:22.93
gav
Okay.

09:23.04
Bevo
Yeah.

09:23.53
gav
Okay.

09:23.77
Mad Dog
Okay.

09:24.56
Chibbs
So Bevo's on the nose there with the fact that it's like record labels just gone.

09:24.83
gav
So 12 million.

09:32.30
Mad Dog
Yeah.

09:32.27
Bevo
protecting their asset, basically.

09:32.68
Chibbs
yeah We've spent a lot of money on this guy and she needs to shut up.

09:34.66
Bevo
Yeah,

09:35.88
gav
Yeah. Okay.

09:37.35
Chibbs
Like he's got a big tour coming up.

09:37.58
gav
Yeah.

09:38.91
Chibbs
She needs to shut her mouth.

09:40.88
gav
Yeah.

09:40.94
Chibbs
And she did it.

09:43.08
gav
I would love it if she'd accepted the $12 million dollars more sitting here being like, and his net worth is ah zero.

09:43.23
Mad Dog
People are gonna still go with the same.

09:47.98
Bevo
isn

09:50.37
gav
He's just breaking even.

09:50.88
Chibbs
Who was it? Who was the dude? What band was it where it was like the bass player was on a, they they had, you fucking lost everything and he's on a salary and he's getting like $80 a week or something.

09:55.88
gav
oh

10:01.39
gav
Yeah, it was Southern Heaps piss week.

10:03.13
Chibbs
Yeah, I can't remember.

10:03.19
gav
Who the fuck was that?

10:03.89
Chibbs
I can't remember. but I might've been crazy down or something.

10:06.28
Bevo
I've said, I've mentioned it before, but when Pink Floyd did the wall tour, they fired Rick Wright.

10:07.91
Mad Dog
crazy

Chibbs
Yeah.

10:13.95
Bevo
That's his name, Rick Wright.

10:14.61
Chibbs
Okay.

10:14.87
Bevo
but the thing about um And then they got him back and he was like, only if I'm a salaried member instead of a member of the band. And he was the only one that made money on the wall tour because it lost so much money and he was just a salaried member.

10:26.44
gav
Oh, that's so fucking good.

10:27.55
Bevo
So it made off like a band.
