Favorite band of all time. Met Dexter twice about 13 years apart and he remembered me as a little kid when he met me and my dad. Met Noodles once as well, they really are just normal ass dudes who love playing music. Talked with Dexter over 30 minutes both times. Noodles signed my guitar that's his first signature model. Dudes are as cool as they come.
Far Away came out one week after I lost a long-time friend. I'm 56 and I still get emotional every time I play it. Thank you so much guys😊 I still listen to you guys along with Candlebox, Collective Soul on a daily basis 😊
Im so stoked on this interview. Today at work I listened to smah and inxnay back to back. Jumped in My car to leave and this episode drops,to awesome. All ever want to do is load up dirt bike head to fox raceway blasting the offspring
Franz Kafka is a widely celebrated writer. He wrote exclusively in German as a German Jew living in Prague, modern day Czech Republic and died young at age 40 from tuberculosis. He was never known or celebrated during his time for his writing. He wrote for himself by himself, never got rich, never got famous, never even got moderate recognition. I had to read his writings as MANDATORY in my high school AP English Class. The point is just do what you do. Make what you can make. If you're writing something from the heart, and crafting something from the soul, don't limit it. Just do it. The audience will follow if it is good enough
Americana was the first CD I ever bought. I was like 8 years old 😂 I used to sit in the attic and read along with the lyrics inside the booklet. That was a game changer and made me a superfan.
Dude I feel that tho. Had to learn how to play the guitar again after breaking my right knuckle. At the same time my left thumb almost got chopped completely off by a katana wielding crackhead. Took a while, but now I'm back to shredding son.
I was in 7th grade or maybe 8th when I first heard gotta keep em separated. I think the first time I heard it was on MTV and then for Christmas my aunt bought me a black long sleeve shirt with the smash album cover on it and I could not believe my aunt knew about The offspring or knew I even liked them. it blew me away!
I met these guys after the '99 WHFS fest in Baltimore. What and awesome show. My friends knew one of the radio dj's and we were able to get into a hotel bar after the show with a lot of the festival musicians. I definitely recall seeing Dexter talking to Mark McGrath next to the bar. At one point around midnight the bar told us they were shutting down and everyone was kinda pist. I was talking to a young guy that was a roadie for Offspring and he said they had some Heineken on the bus. When we stepped on the bus i swear the first thing he said was "hey if you gotta use the bathroom there's no shittin on the bus"! The door the bathroom was open and the shower curtain rod had a bunch of leather jackets hanging. Great time!
How can the Offspring fans successfully communicate to the Offspring how much we appreciate and love this legendary band! Enlighten Dexter and Noodles to accept, embrace and enjoy their blessings of being truly blessed, gifted, amazing legendary musicians that humanity needs to continue creating and releasing Offspring music. Thank you for your large catalog of great songs. I lost count of how many of your songs I love and that helped me in amazing ways get through difficult times in my life that my only option was to be strong, resilient, keep moving forward, trust God and his process ☮️❤️😇🎶 thank you 😊
Bert redeemed himself. The Offspring, Bad Religion, NOFX, Pennywise, The Vandals, etc. I met Noodles once and he was the nicest dude. Met him at a surf award show. I was the only guy that knew who he was. He bought me a beer and said "Hey wanna fuck with Jim from Pennywise?" We did and it was a night to remember.
Bad Habit was my first song by The Offspring too. Was driving to high school, and my buddy says "hey, listen to this" then I ask "did they just say 'GD MFer'?" Replayed the track sitting in the parking lot.
Both those guys are chill they hung out the stone pony at a lunachicks opener. At 13th I remember it was nice of them to stick around a bit. Music thrashed 💜
Hey kids Ecstasy/MDMA like the name implies is so good.....the first time. And it's never that good again. Which is why it's never worth it to do it. Just don't do it. It's not addictive like heroin, but it has diminishing returns are just like heroin, and arguably the damaging effects are damn near worse. The drug works by releasing all your serotonin at once which is damaging to your body. It fucks up your eyes, and more importantly it fucks with the the chemical control composition of your brain. I have serious anxiety issues and hardcore panic attacks, some that led me to the ER which never manifested before using MDMA. It's a common complaint among users. Just don't do it. Smoke weed if you're so inclined, drink a few beers. Maybe try a small dose of mushrooms if you're feeling crazy. Don't start wheeling and dealing. There's a reason it's illegal
I was kind of waiting for Bert to find out about Dexter's pilot license and P.H.D in microbiology. If he accidentally backed into that he might have kicked a flip flop off the ceiling.
I once started a band with three friends for fun. The drummer was okay, the bassist was better, but the two guitarist (one being me) were completely new to it. There was nothing serious about it, but we made two different t-shirts and three stickers anyway. We called the band Must Keep Refrigerated. The name literally came off of containers of honey mustard and bleu cheese. One said Keep Refrigerated, the other said Must Be Refrigerated, so we combined the two. I say all that because we made a song off of Keep Them Separated, but turned that part of the song into Must Keep Refrigerated. Heeey, gotta put it away.
When Burt interviews bands and musicians he reminds me of Chris Farley on SNL when he interviews Paul McCartney. Such a fan boy! I love these band podcasts!
I used to wear Americana out before I ever had internet so I didn’t know what they looked like but for some reason I knew exactly what Dexter looked like without seeing him. I was like 7 years old and I wore that album out specifically “Why don’t you get a job?” But they have tons of killer songs.
Bert I'm thinking that you did some research and knew that Dexter Holland is a PhD I think Biology. "Dexter Holland, also known as Bryan Keith Holland, is the lead singer and co-founder of the punk rock band the Offspring. He has a PhD in molecular biology and has published research on HIV microRNA." Shitting on The Bus. LOL I completely relate to this. From Mannheim, Germany my friend's family and I took a bus from there to Spain and something went out in the plumbing or something on that bus. So the bus went almost all freaking night to the Coast of Spain from South Central Germany. It wasn't the most horrible experience I've ever had but it's in the top 10, however looking back upon it now, it's kind of funny. As my friend was 14 and I was 13 we were even happier to see the topless beaches once we go there out of the horrendous smell of that bus. It was like riding in a shit tube on wheels and all we wanted to do was sleep b/c it smelled that bad. I was afraid the driver was going to get high off of the fumes and that kind of worried me. LOL. So to the guitarist in Offspring would you consider Flipper Punk? I mean a lot of Punks loved the first album, and Flipper was a huge influence on Nirvana(Chris ended up playing with them for a short stint.). Ah Outlaw Country. For me it's Townes Van Zandt.
man i still cant believe i have a setlist from warped tour EARLY 2000s. even crazier i had the original smash tshirt. DONT LET CHICKS WEAR YOUR BAND SHIRTS KIDS! love the offspring
Man. To have the offspring sitting front of you and end up taking about only yourself for an hour is such a missed opportunity. I know I shouldn’t be surprised but damn.
I don't normally get secondhand embarrassment, but it's getting difficult to listen to these really nice dudes tolerating his head being so far up his own ass. 😂
@@rhysm.5915 really nice dudes..? Lol They kicked out their drummer bc he couldn't get the shots due to health concerns. There is nothing nice or punk about these establishment corporate shills

The Ocean side half marathon story I just wanna hear as the "Californians" from snl 🤣🤣🤣 How did the people from Nebraska get there?! Was it the 405 or the 10? Also, love the Days Go By version of Dirty Magic
Offspring has been my favorite band for 27 years. I’ve seen them 9 times live. I am buying my physical CD copy of Supercharged tomorrow when it comes out! (Yes I buy physical media.)
Bert really asked them if they had ever considered re recording “Smash” 🤣 Why would you want to re record your breakout hit album? This interview was sooo bad 😂
Someone tell Bert I appreciate these pods so much. The Offspring was one of my favorite bands in the early 2000’s. Finally got to see them and Metallica a few years ago in Daytona Beach. That’s bucket list for me. Limp Bizkit is big on that list for me too
What's your favorite Offspring song?
Want You Bad
All I Want!
Welcome to Americana. Please make your selection followed by the pound sign now.
I Choose
The Kids Aren't Alright

Candlebox !!!! still have the cassette hahaha
When i hear Offspring i want to go skate or something haha. Their albums all hold up still good
Saw them when they released Americana, and it was one of the most fun and entertaining music concerts I've experienced.
I saw them a few weeks ago at a festival, and it was an absolute dream. Definitely a top 5 concert in my books. They're so damn good.
@@alyssamae4 badass :)

True
Offspring (self titled) hidden gem, be headed, jennifer lost the war

Man it would be so cool to sit on that coach and play guitar with Bert..
Tnx you B.K..And OFFSPRING 🤟😊🤟
Noodles sounds like Eric Bischoff.
When Burt interviews bands and musicians he reminds me of Chris Farley on SNL when he interviews Paul McCartney. Such a fan boy! I love these band podcasts!
Please don't ever compare this fake ass drunk to Chris Farley
I was introduced to the Offspring through the album Ignition. There is no improving the original version of Dirty Magic.

How close does Bert's head look like to Barry Bond's head in the mid 2008 season.
Ive been listening to this band a lot lately
Really nostalgic and great listening to these guys. Love that they're into Otoboke Beaver
Nicest guys, i.e. the offspring.. not only are they talented, but also so intelligent. Great people
Damn it Bert. I give it to u. U have good bands on so u make me listen.
I have a deep love for Offspring ❤
Dexter is looking fit as. Good to see...New album is great. Good job Bert
Two of the nicest guys.
