And, gang, we couldn't be more excited to have two incredibly special guests
here with us today for the first time.
For over 35 years, they have been an absolute force of nature.
They have a brand new album out right now, The Knot.
They are on tour right now.
Ladies and gentlemen, for the Juggalos, for the Juggalettes, for the family,
Violent J, Shaggy 2-Dope, and Sane Clown Posse.
All right.
Gentlemen.
Yeah, yeah.
My guys.
We just watched the doc that they did on you guys about the gathering of the Juggalos.
It's very cool.
Loved it.
Hell, yeah.
Which document?
Which one?
It was the American Juggalo.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
About the FBI shitting on that?
No.
What?
I missed that one.
No, yeah.
I mean, it's so cool what you guys have created and, you know, the family, I
mean, for lack
of a better word, it's what it's called.
The family of it is very, very fucking cool.
It's cool to see.
It is, man.
It's very unique.
Maybe the last subculture in America.
I don't think you're wrong as everything kind of bleeds together a little bit.
You guys have really carved out quite a world for yourselves.
It's really cool.
We're going to ask you about growing up, but what's this about the FBI?
In 2011, the FBI named Juggalos a gang.
No shit.
Top 10 lists.
Yeah, one of the top 10 gangs in the country.
Along with Crips, Bloods, MS-13, Aryan, whatever the fuck.
Talking about no bad press.
That's fantastic.
That's what we said at first.
But then it started having repercussions, you know what I mean?
You know, Juggalos started getting, if they get popped for a little bit of weed
or some,
you know, they get sentenced as a gang member.
You know, they enter this gang member file and they get logged on as a gang
member.
And if they're fighting for custody with their ex or something, there's
suddenly a gang member
in the eyes of the law.
They're trying to get into the military and they got Hatchet Man tattoo.
They're a tatted up gang member.
People started losing their jobs and it just got insane, you know what I mean?
See how it goes from like, oh, that's awesome, to I went to fuck that quick.
Fuck.
Did they loosen that up?
Well, we had to march on Washington.
No shit.
And it worked?
Well, first we tried to sue the FBI four times and it got thrown out each time.
You guys are the first guys to ever sue the FBI.
And I fucking respect that.
What they did is they never apologized.
They never took us off.
But what they did is they just said that list doesn't exist no more.
We don't do it no more.
Damn.
That damn musician.
We want a fucking apology.
Yeah, no, I agree.
Or at least an official, no, you ain't.
Because there's still little towns across America that get gang funded because
they have
juggalos.
So there's still people that take advantage of that.
That's really what the whole thing was in these rural towns.
You got the police force can say, hey, there's a gang here.
So they get extra funding from the government to fight that gang.
That gang ain't nothing but juggalos hanging out the park.
And rural Barnyard, Ohio.
Sure.
You know, they got a bad gang problem out there, you know.
I know.
That's crazy.
They got two juggalos that live in the town.
And so then they get probably some sort of government funding.
$23 million.
They get their funding and that's why they all say it's a gang.
You know, it's all just, you know.
There was a book that came out about it.
I couldn't even finish the book.
I only got halfway through this giving me panic attacks.
That's how those little police stations get those brand new shiny SUVs.
They get the tanks and shit.
They get to stop the juggalos.
That's all ICP money.
Wow, man.
But that was.
And then it was repercussions on us, too.
A bunch of, like, retailers dropped our shit because it was now gang apparel.
Our concerts became gang rallies.
The insurance went up.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, it was all types of shit.
Yeah, we got.
It was rough.
It was really rough.
But after we did the march in 2017, it got so much press and stuff that we feel
like its purpose was served.
You know what I mean?
We feel like it.
It got attention brought to it, which is what we want.
It got so much attention.
Everybody was like, that shit is so ridiculous.
Love them or hate them.
That shit's ridiculous.
You know what I mean?
No, for sure.
For sure.
So it feels like things have gotten better.
You know, we're back in Hot Topics.
You know, we're back in.
We're back in.
Spencer.
In Spencer.
You guys are doing hard brick and mortar retail.
That's fucking awesome.
That's crazy, dude.
Couple of movers and shakers.
All right, let's change gears, lighten it up a little bit.
So you guys are both from Detroit.
Yes.
Yes.
Right?
Start off with the question.
What was the grocery store that you guys went to as a kid?
From what I remember, it was either Chatham's or Farmer Jack's.
Farmer Jack's or A&P.
Yeah, A&P too.
Shout out A&P.
My mom used to work at the deli counter.
Deli counter.
Very nice.
That's a good job there.
Amongst a lot of other jobs.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What was the growing up situation?
Who had it worse?
Who had it better?
I don't know.
I think we both had it shitty in different ways.
Blue collar neighborhood?
Oh, no question.
Extremely poverty for me, man.
Both of us.
Extreme poverty, food stamps, powdered milk, black cheese.
You know what I'm saying?
Broken home.
I've had three dads.
Drug addict, alcoholic, family members.
You know what I'm saying?
All that station.
Fucking my real father left when I was two.
Damn.
You know what I mean?
Child abuse.
All of that good family-friendly shit.
Good old hearty hometown American shit.
Sure, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, huh.
Are you giving us check marks?
So far, you're winning.
Don't worry.
You're killing it.
I don't think it's a question of if you're garbage or not.
It's how much garbage, which we fucking love.
What was the first, I mean, being that you're musicians,
one of the common questions,
what is the first concert you guys went to as individuals?
Like as a kid or a teenager or whatever?
It may have been the same one.
I want to say it was Boogie Down Productions.
Okay.
With KRS-One and them.
Uh-huh, no shit.
Boogie Down Productions.
That's a great, KRS-One's a great first concert.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was that.
My first one was Sir Mix-A-Lot.
No shit!
Oh, yeah, I forgot about Mix-A-Lot, yeah.
I think that's, but I'm not sure if I want to
Boogie Down Productions or Mix-A-Lot first,
but they used to always have these shits downtown in Detroit
called Throw It to Joe, Joe Louis Arena.
Okay.
Where they just like put on, wasn't a tour or nothing like that
because there was no rap tours back then,
and they'd just throw like five, six different rappers on stage
and there'd be, you know, like quarter of the arena filled
and just fun fights everywhere.
That sounds sick.
All types of good shit.
That's old school shit, dude.
But those were always the shit to go to
because you just get to see such a mix of people.
You know, it'd be like Ice Cube, Big Daddy Kane,
Third Base, and you know what I'm saying?
MC Light, you know.
Look, yeah, me too, man.
That's awesome.
MC Sir, the gas face.
Great video.
Look at you with the deep guts.
I know what's going on.
That was a pop hit.
Yeah, that was my era.
What was the first job each one of you had?
Like first proper, you know, got a patient.
No shit.
Really?
At a golf course?
Ten years old, carrying golf clubs.
Holy shit.
Public course?
Private course?
Private course.
My mom worked in Birmingham,
which is like a fancy neighborhood, you know,
and she was a janitor at a church,
so she used to drop us off at the golf course in the morning
and pick us up on our way home from work in the afternoon,
you know what I mean?
We'd be out there caddying all fucking day.
Yeah, it's crazy shit because, like,
the year before me and my brother had met this fella,
we were caddies at a different place.
And so when we all, like, linked up,
we all ended up being caddies at the same place.
Get the fuck out of here.
So somehow we were just all, I was 10.
How old were you?
When I started, I was 11 once I went to another place.
I'm two years older than him.
Yeah.
So he originally, like, was cool with my older brother.
Your older brother.
Yeah.
You guys fucking caddied together and now look at you.
That's insane.
That's what a fucking origin story.
And I worked over 50 jobs before I started rapping for a living.
What do you think the best one was and what do you think the worst one?
What one did you hate the most?
Probably the best one was at a place called Frank's Nursery and Crafts.
I remember Frank's.
I worked at Frank's.
Because I used to steal major from there.
I got a lot of mulch guns.
I used to steal the shit and put it out of a dumpster in the alleyway and come
back and
get it after work.
And we used to sell that shit.
Their Christmas tree hustle.
They had the Christmas tree hustle.
Yeah.
We used to give all our friends a happy Christmas every year.
I love that.
Give back to the family.
Yeah.
And also the hustle was selling the Christmas trees.
Because the people would come out to buy a Christmas tree, right?
And they would see the price and it would say 50 bucks.
And then it would be underneath it.
It'd say 50 bucks.
If you rip the bottom of the tag, give it to the customer, they would go in and
pay for
it.
So then they would say, look, man, I'll give you 40 bucks right here if you
just carry
it straight out to my car.
I'd be like, word.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
And just be carrying it straight out to the car, getting paid all night.
I mean, I was making like 300 bucks a night doing that shit.
You know, it's funny this came up because we were actually just talking about
this type
of shit earlier.
My brother had a job at this gas station that he got through like a family
friend or something
like that.
You know what I mean?
So it was like it was the night shift.
So like he was in on it.
Right away, he's in on it.
We would just go up there every night and rob the fuck out of the place.
You know what I'm saying?
Just from the register?
And sniff gas.
I was talking about that too.
Of course.
It's the goddamn holidays.
What are you doing?
We used to have a little bit of a scam.
We worked at Hess Gas Station.
They used to have this promotion where if you got $10 of premium gas, you got a
dollar
off and you had a coupon that you'd fill out.
But people would always get a floater gallon.
It would never just be 10.
It'd be like 10.6.
So we'd add it all up at the end of the day and walk away whenever that cash
was left
over and fill out bullshit coupons.
Right in that pocket beach.
I like that.
Any workplace scams, great.
Yeah, it is.
I agree.
Yeah, it seems like when you're getting menial jobs like that,
