We are here with the podcast,
00:01
Augusto Papa. Welcome to thank you for having us.
00:06
We appreciate getting the peace for.
00:08
Mhm So what's your most wild green room story?
00:14
Damn. I think one that happened pretty recently is that it
00:17
was the very first time hosting an event.
00:19
We were really nervous.
00:21
We didn't really know what was going on and they had
00:23
us waiting, you know,
00:24
in this, in this room and we were sharing it,
00:26
I guess with the guy that's supposed to take care of
00:28
like the drinks that the artists get and everything,
00:31
I guess like, they have like really strict guidelines on that
00:33
and it was like,
00:35
Jito Paca was there,
00:35
Lucero was there and it was like six artists and they
00:38
each had like 75 beers and like three bottles each.
00:41
And I mean, I guess that's like part of like their
00:42
contract, you know,
00:43
I was like, oh,
00:43
that's cool. Like I've never seen so much alcohol and they
00:46
were like, hey,
00:46
you know, we're like,
00:46
really nervous. You think we could like get a beer?
00:48
No, three of us and then the guy's like,
00:50
sorry I can't do it.
00:50
Like it's in the contract one beer.
00:53
Yeah. Then after they give,
00:54
they give us one for us three.
00:57
Yeah. But then he's like,
00:58
I guess I understood.
00:59
He said he could get in trouble.
01:00
Like, if, I guess they did count them.
01:01
We went, we went on the stage all sober and scared
01:06
Yeah. Yeah.
01:06
Yeah. It was,
01:07
it was, we actually went on stage.
01:08
I had ac, but it was empty.
01:10
It was trying to show that he was drinking.
01:17
Oh Yeah. So there was one time where we went to
01:20
Grupo Frontera album release.
01:22
Party bio, the singer of Grupo Frontera.
01:24
He wanted to prank one of the members.
01:27
So he we brought a snake and while he was getting a
01:31
haircut, he threw the snake on him and he had like
01:33
the most insane reaction and for some reason we got hate for
01:37
it like I was like that was,
01:41
yeah, that was pretty crazy.
01:42
Like mayo like produced the whole idea.
01:43
It was so funny.
01:44
Yeah. And then after that like he he took it
01:46
on stage with him while he was singing.
01:48
Yeah, that was pretty crazy.
01:49
And then we actually interviewed him maybe last month and he
01:52
said it was like the coolest like green room experience that
01:55
he's had so far.
01:56
So that was, that was pretty cool.
01:57
So we need like concert hacks because freaking prices through the roof
02:01
right now. How do you think we can finesse these prices
02:04
Like, do you guys have like,
02:05
some sort of, like,
02:06
little tricks or hacks?
02:07
I feel like we're like concert goer,
02:09
professional hat hats. Don't buy the tickets when they get announced
02:14
Wait till, like,
02:15
you know, everyone leaves a website or buy them the day
02:18
of the concert for the cheapest.
02:20
Yeah, it's, I,
02:21
I feel like it'd be a little nerve wracking.
02:22
Like, oh, like it's tomorrow I have my ticket but
02:24
I think you there's always tickets,
02:26
concerts are super expensive right now.
02:27
So I think you guys should definitely learn how to save some
02:30
money. No. What's the heck you got?
02:32
Don't go. No,
02:35
no, no, no.
02:36
Something I say is that I feel like a a misconception is
02:38
that people are like,
02:39
oh, I got floor seats but I think like floor seats
02:42
are the most overrated because you know,
02:44
like the, the concerts right here,
02:46
like all the floor seats are this like if you're like,
02:48
not in the first five rows then it's,
02:51
you know, there's a tall person in front of you and
02:52
that's it. Yeah,
02:54
there's a tall person.
02:55
Yeah. Yeah. And then like,
02:56
I feel like those always go for a premium.
02:58
I always suggest like the like the hundreds,
03:00
like the first ones where it starts kind of going up.
03:02
Like those are the best ones on the side.
03:03
I see those are the best ones.
03:04
Those are the best ones I have to ask,
03:06
what's your thought on the best of Blue?
03:08
My haircut because, yeah,
03:10
I think it's controversial.
03:11
I think it's such a big deal.
03:12
Yeah, because kids are we getting it like so many people
03:14
are getting it, kids fucking dogs and are kids still going
03:20
to get it now or?
03:21
What do you think on that?
03:22
Well, first of all,
03:23
I think the person who should have got the haircut should have
03:25
been jop, but I think everyone wanted it like that.
03:32
But I think best solu man needs the mullet to be honest
03:35
I don't, yeah,
03:37
I think it was such a distinctive characteristic of and maybe like
03:41
even a little polarizing,
03:42
you know, I don't think anybody else had it honestly,
03:44
when I saw that,
03:45
I thought it was fake,
03:46
I think, I thought it was just like a,
03:47
like a marketing scheme but it turns out it's,
03:50
it's real and I think this is kind of gonna be like
03:52
the phase two of Puma's career,
03:55
you know, it's like pretty boy phase,
03:56
pretty boy era. So do you guys like trust the music
04:00
industry? I know it's a very vague question.
04:04
I think. No,
04:07
I, I think honestly like you,
04:08
you need to be like be last and you need to be
04:11
like people with everything that there's places or people that might wanna
04:15
take advantage. But I think there's also like the same way
04:18
that there's people that wanna take advantage.
04:19
Like it's also like great people that are like,
04:21
willing to help you out.
04:22
And I think it's just something that you have to like,
04:24
really take your time to learn and be open to,
04:27
to, to learn every day.
04:29
Yeah. Just be nice to everyone.
04:30
Don't burn bridges but oh yeah.
04:33
00 Yeah, because my boy Angel be saying the most wildest
04:41
stuff like on the podcast and then artists get mad and like
04:44
why did you say this?
04:45
Like, oh you post it on your story?
04:48
We're just heading it.
04:52
Do you feel like like La Raza?
04:54
Like some people like gatekeep like say they're at the top but
04:57
they're like, OK,
04:58
I'm at the top but I'm not helping anyone else.
05:01
I, I think there's some people that you see them
05:03
like artists collab with really small artists that you're like,
05:06
oh like it was just maybe they just really liked each other
05:09
you know, like the chemistry was there.
05:10
But then I think sometimes also like people that only collab with
05:13
people on their level,
05:14
I think he's trying to be nice but I think people are
05:18
people do gatekeep like they don't,
05:19
they won't collab with the man fuck with,
05:22
with, with an underground artist unless it's from their label.
05:25
So like now you just see the same top five artists collab
05:28
with each other and it's always like the same one and actually
05:30
like you think of those top five,
05:32
you trying to be nice.
05:32
Yeah, you're right.
05:33
We, we, we talked to one of them and then
05:34
I think he was the one that asked them,
05:36
it was like,,
05:37
who are you gonna collab with on your album?
05:38
And he's like, oh,
05:39
you know, the same ones and then he named the other
05:41
four, you know.
05:41
So I think that they do have,
05:43
like, some sort of plan to,
05:44
like, just keep each other up there,
05:46
like, the people like they're friends.
05:49
Yeah. Yeah, because then at the end of the day
05:50
like, you know,
05:51
it is a business and competition is competition.
05:54
That's true. But there's room at the top for everybody,
05:56
right? Yeah, there's no room.
