Jamie and Paul are assholes often, true. From what I've noticed and heard. I thought it was kinda funny once, or at least that's what I tell myself.

First time I spoke with them, at a GOTJ, they were signing stuff. I had a ticket stub that I had kept for a couple years at that point, and told them the story behind it and asked them to sign it.

The ticket stub said ICP and Kottonmouth Kings on it. I explained to them that KMK did not show for some reason, and that they played in their place, and that it was awesome. Shit, back then they had Michael Myers and Jason Voorhees come out and shake axes to the music. We had a blast. 

First off, Paul looked insanely bugged. He didn't say a single word, just sat there looking around, with his mouth agape. I think he was either having a panic attack or mimicking one. He signed the little stub.

I had said "KMK didn't show but you guys did" etc etc...

Jamie said, "Nah, that wasn't us, that was the Deftones."

I laughed and said "what?"

"It was the Deftones you saw."

To this day, I don't quite understand his breed of humor, but he was definitely being a funny asshole. Those guys are weird as hell.

My wife met them before that. Jamie stuck out his tongue, that was full of chewed food.

"Do I scare you?" he asked.

"No," my wife replied.

"Yes, I do." He said, and autographed her shit. She said it was easier to talk to Twiztid because she had already met ICP and was completely starstruck and couldn't talk. She was ready for a new attempt.

When I met ICP at the first GOTJ, Shaggy gave me daps like five times lol. He kept shaking my hand. I told him I was from New York. He said "We don't get a lot of love in New York." I told him that my brothers (who were there at the GOTJ with me) gave mad love. He chatted a bit more, signed my GOTJ booklet, and said something like

"Don't forget to talk to dickhead over there" and motioned to Violent J, who was screaming something crazy and hilarious at this couple. Unfortunately, the security dude pulled me out of the room and I never got to talk to J. He watched me being pulled out, and looked sad and slightly offended, like I intentionally didn't speak to him. Poor bastard, lol. 

Next time I met J he was strolling on a golf cart, and stopped to smoke a joint or blunt with random Juggalos. Nice guy, usually.

I dunno. They're all complex people, and I can't know how it is to be in their shoes. Life is full of misunderstandings and such. We all see and experience things differently. I have been known to misinterpret situations, at times.

Good point. 

Regardless of all the back and forth from/between Juggalos, we're all on the outside lookin in. 

Whenever I hear about a celebrity being an asshole or whatever I can't help but wonder if they're just havin a shitty day. I know I've been a dick to people because my day sucks. It has to suck to have that one shitty day define you. 

When a lot of people start to have stories about a certain groups "shitty days" however...  

So I finally finished watching that ICP interview with Scottie. I'm getting sick and can't go to work, so why not lol...

Fascinating stuff. Despite what the anti-Clown posters type on this site and other social media, I tend to base my opinions on someone who is speaking plain English with passion and clarity. That is what Violent J (and occasionally Silent 2 Dope lol.. he has been back in the 'getting talked over zone' by J) did. Also, the body language, eye contact, and other little cues. I believed that they believed what they we were saying.

When J said all that stuff about Otis. He spoke of the hatred but also of the love and talent, and you could see and hear that the shock and betrayal are what got to him. Shaggy hanging with him every day, like a brother. It's all just wack shit.

Interesting points were brought up. Good points. 

The part that sucked was them hearing from other bands and groups about how Twiztid were just running their mouths about how much they hate ICP. But they just shrugged it off for years. I can relate to that when it comes to jealous friends and coworkers.

Fuck em.

Oh, and listened to like 7 tracks from Twiztid horribly titled new album before this. Not one was good, to me. Psychomania stood out as the worst.

On a happier note....

Just for the record, I did in fact receive my Mystery Box Winnings last Friday!

I have NOT opened it as I wanted to make a little "unboxing" video to post for everyone here (who knows? there might an extra note 'er sum shit!).

I've just been needing to wrangle someone to be the cameraman.

Wanted to let ya'll know, "I got my shit!"... They sent it straight out.

I just wanna share opening it with you in a fun way [derp]

Whoop Whoop!

Juggalo Show would be so much better if it started on time. 

It's on right now. Rudy already tried to blame evil spirits for attacking Psy... cause they are seventeenin. Epic level wtf. Jump blames venue. 

Doesn't sound good for GOTJ '17. 

Edit: Spoke to soon. Msybe not good for the West though? My stream was cutting out pretty bad. Might have missed points.

Honestly, out of everyone on PSY and MNE, out of all of the VIPs I've been too and shit. I think blaze is the one who struck me the most as weirdly friendly.

Jamie is usually the talker out of twiztid, we've talked about comic books once or twice, he asked me if I knew good places to eat before(I'm a fat kid, that's why I'm jiggles), mono usually just stands there, but I'm a huge awkward ass introvert so I'd probably do the same thing. Everyone else on MNE usually just gives the typical "how ya doing, good to see you come out" shit. Same with ICP; I've met J twice now and shaggs once, just told em what up and how much their music has helped me, they seemed appreciative and happy to hear it, but this was a VIP meet and greet so I don't blame em for the rushed feeling of it.

 

Blaze through, I always end up just sitting there talk to him while someone else is ahead of me getting stuff signed, he's a super chill dude.  

My experiences are similar.... Madrox hit on my wife, and is a smart ass and funny. Monoxide doesn't know how to function outside of a booth; someone commit that man already. Violent J goes from 0 to 100.95 in an instant, and shines. Shaggy 2 Dope shines like a fucking supernova, and is goofy yet commands respect. Blaze hit on my wife. Esham hit on my wife, and liked my rhymes in the book I offered him to sign. I could also tell that Esham was suffering post-traumatic stress from his savage stomping at the time. Zug Izland ate too many shrooms to know how to function with humans, at the time. Anybody Killa is sneakily quiet and smiley, and likes to drink beer. Alex Abbiss has an eye for talent. He is a true businessman. He reminds me of Kingpin from the Marvel universe. 

Just tuning in now... did I miss anything good? 

"Juggalos! This is VERY special Juggalo Show that you DON'T want to miss!!!"

*Plays fuckin show and tell for 45 minutes"
