Dave Grohl is such a cool humble human being. My friend Pasquale and I used to follow him around every time he came to new york city. Gave him his demo tape and Dave actually listened. At the virgin mega store show, Dave saw us in the crowd and shouted out my friend's band's name. It's on youtube. He says "the Aberdeen lizards are in the house". Yeah Nirvana, Foo Fighters, worth 230 million dollars and zero ego. The man treats everyone with dignity and respect. They'll never be another Dave.
There'll* that's awesome!!
Dave and Keanu are both so FN
HOT🔥 but Dave is more comfortable speaking in interviews for sure
But I’m fine with that 😘
Awesome sauce!
True. And the dude has played with EVERYONE. What a life. Curious to see what he does next. Hopefully , in time, something.
Super glad to hear this. I like it when music heroes are good people, not mean insecure self-obsessed dicks (kofkoffCorgankoffkoff)
Dave is, imo, one of the most authentically cool people in the world.
Also not on social media... Coincidence?
@Bernie SanderZ I'm sure you listen to shit mainstream bands, too.
@Bernie SanderZ Oh, and yeah. You won't win the presidential election.
Keanu Reeves.
And can you imagine those two meeting ?
too bad i have to sit through whitney to hear what he had to say
The fact that he brought up something he did 30 years ago in feeling of guilt, he has more empathy than many
hopefully, shortly after that, when Nirvana exploded, she kept that card thinking "OMG I GOT THIS CARD FROM DAVE GROHL!!!"
1:22:27 the end on grief when Dave talks about his best friend OD’ing then losing Kurt just shattered my heart to pieces. I can’t imagine how he’s feeling right now after losing Taylor to an OD-they’ve been together since ‘97. Letterman, FF & South America-ifykyk.🖤
Not confirmed that Taylor OD’d. More than likely just heart issues. Stop spreading misinformation based on stigma of prior addiction
@@franklyscarletgirl having 10 different meds in his bloodstream, including heroin, opioids etc. It's pointing towards ODing, and his heart couldn't take it anymore. 😔
@@sherrihayward4500 You are full of b.s. and ignorance. STFU.
@@sherrihayward4500 Heroin is an opiate, genius. Opioids? You mean like painkillers? "It's pointing towards an overdose," sure, that's fair except the medical experts avoided using the word "overdose". You also don't know what the levels were of either drug that he tested positive for. Since they avoided using the word "overdose" it implies that the drugs were within therapeutic levels. Until proven otherwise, you're assuming and perpetuating misinformation.
@@zachsabbath1 sorry Hun, I guess I need to educate myself more on opiates. But when someone's heart grows to twice the size as normal. Makes you think. So so sad though.
Nirvana and Foo Fighters and he doesn't seem to have the slightest bit of ego. Incredible
Tom Z ego’s not required when you have achievements to show
And QOTSA
ego’s just...not required when love proceeds. “It’s nice to be nice to people”
That's dat LSD
Hector Merc especially qotsa

"I don't want to be perfect, I just want to be a badass" ~Dave Grohl
Also dave Grohl. "I don´t like singing" XD!!
Mission accomplished!
"I'm basically Amish..."
Same guy who is a damn perfectionist
I met Dave Grohl one time at 9:30 club. It was probably 1996. Anyway, he was so awesome. I was piss wasted but offered to buy him a shot and he said sure. Anyway, he knew I was all fan-boyed out. He proceeded to tell me a story about the first time he met Robert Plant. He was in a bathroom at some event and Robert Plant came out of the stall after going a wicked number 2. He was saying this to make me feel at ease that even though they're your heroes. They're just people in the right place, right time, just enough of luck and talent.
Most people don’t get that the Nine Thirty Club is a music venue in D.C..
That was a great storytime. :D Dave seems like a cool guy!
that’s a shitty story, indeed... + grohl = 1% talent + 99% Cobain
@@korsunhoox So, on this scale you've set up, that would make you roughly 4000% worthless.

Ha! Good one
#metoo
Me too. I'm loving it for the time being
Same. Thanks... Eeerrr...whoever, just thanks
"I was in a band w the greatest fuckin songwriter ever " made me tear up a bit. So genuine. He's not saying that out of respect he really means it and that's awesome.
Everyone sees that he’s a musical genius except for him. Such a sweet, kind and humble person. Protect him at all costs.
Dave Grohl....2024 😁
He is an angel.
Except when he mandated vaccinations to see his shows. Not rock and roll to me..
But wouldn't he have gotten hate either way?@@duganred
@@georgiataylor4316 How do you figure? If there are no restrictions everyone could go…
Dave seems so sweet, down to earth, and humble. We must protect him at all costs
Dave Grohl is the keanu reeves of music.
Danial Zabihi wow true
that’s a disservice to Dave Grohl. He’s miles better than Keanu.
@@BoxOfCurryos I mean, he isn't, but okay
@@BoxOfCurryos omg am I not the only one that thinks Keanu is creepy af.... Putting the two together just blew my mind, and I just puked in my mouth a bit actually a lot of bit. I never thought of Keanu as humble ever, but feel free others to differ. Dave is genuinely awesome and talented. Keanu is just Keanu.... same character every single movie. I don't know about his younger years, but I can't stand his face.
I said this a few month ago on a different video 😂😂
Dave Grohl seems like the sweetest person alive
"I just happened to be in a band with the greatest f*cking songwriter ever"
I read this at the exact moment he said it. Had to let you know
He was in a band with bob dylan?
Paul McCartney?
WHO???
Bruce springsteen? Patti smith? Joni mitchell? Who?
it's funny, i'm 60 years old, listen mostly to Talk radio, so knew nothing about the foo fighters or Dave Grohl until my sister in-law sent me the video of 1000 people in Italy singing the foo fighters song Learn to Fly, then i heard Dave Grohl went there with the band to play...........thought that was so amazing i had to know more, now i'm a huge Foo Fighters Fan
Welcome to the zoo! hahaha...in a good way.
Did you know about Nirvana?
I worked at a restaurant in Edmonds, Wa back in the mid 90's. Dave and his family came in twice while I was there. He caught me staring at him once and instead of blowing me off, he gave me a, "Whats up, bro?" look. He was so casually friendly with no ego at all. The waitress who always waited on him said he was super cool. I love this guy.
He once kicked me in the dick
-Per request!
Great guy
@@skratchrapture is it tough being addicted to meth? i genuinely am curious
I'm not into the Foo Fighters music, just a personal thing. But I love listening to Dave Grohl speak. Such a humble, insightful, genuine man. Love him.
cute comment, love that we have different take in music but can respect that and focus on where we connect -- Dave Rocks
I like foo fighters and even love a select few songs, but yeah I’m with you. His outlook is spectacular.
Foo Fighters are amazing, but they don’t resonate with me in the way Nirvana continues to.
Ditto
I could listen to this man talk for hours, hes got a story for everything. And just an alround nice guy.
Dave Grohl is the most genuinely likable musician ever. God i love him.
CannonballHands ugh totally agree. True story : I actually met him backstage at Madison Square Garden thanks to my friend from college who got the hook up because her dad is some important dude in the music business back in LA. He was as awesome/ genuine as I was hoping he would be. One of the best nights ever! I met the entire band & have a really funny story that involves Pat Smear. I would get so disappointed when I would tell the story to friends & they wouldn’t know who Pat Smear was 😡
@@teylahh5625 Omg, I want to hear more about your night and your Pat Smear story. I'm a HUGE Foo Fighters fan. I have lyrics tattooed on the inside of my arm and I walked down the aisle to Everlong at my wedding. I love them!
@@teylahh5625 I fucking love pat smear... I just got done watching a live Germs video and to see Pat there on stage gave me a sense of watching an old family member doing something cool before I was born.
When Dave tells a story, you're hooked from the first 10 seconds. He's really good at capturing someone's attention
@@teylahh5625 dude pat smear is awesome, i would love to hear your story! been a huge fan of nirvana and foo fighters since i was a young lad. it would be awesomeif youd share the story here ehh?
Dave is such a sweetheart, be like him
Nah
Yes
@@gabepickle better to be yourself
No you be like him
@Vino ....
Dave has to be the best person to interview. He is so real.
"It's nice to be nice to people"
Solid advice Dave.
Holy smokes! She gets the coolest dude out there on her second episode!! Right on!
Dan Moore she is the coolest dude
Right? Like how the hell do you get Dave fucking Grohl on the second episode of your brand new podcast? Good for her!
@@inflago because its good guy ghrol. she literally probably saw him at the store and was like "DAVE DAVE DAVE COM ON MY PODCAST" and dave probably responded back just as excited because that's just dave
@@inflago same representation actually :)
And now shes peaked, podcast is dead
hey not bad having Dave in a second episode of something.
Nicola Serafini this is a most meta comment that most people won’t dissect
What is this a reference to?
@@coolkid13c I wish I knew this inside baseball
David Grohl has the Buddha spirit, and that's about it. Thank you for sharing this with all of us.
I love Dave Grohl.. I could listen to him ALL DAY!! Such a lovely man and cant imagine how he is feeling after losing Taylor 😔
I was hoping Dave would shout "Fressshhh poooottsss" 🤣😂
Me too
I remember seeing that years ago, and he ended up in the hospital for too much caffeine.
Dave Grohl doing AMSR just made my day. That was excellent.
As a straight man with an unblemished record of heterosexuality, I must say Dave is the definition of a sweetie pie.
ur so real for that
So you’re gay then?
@@derrickpanciera5644 Gross
Why are you gey
true
I’m glad she brought up grief. Again, the end was heart wrenching. I’m still grieving after losing Kurt. Then Norm Macdonald, Bob Saget. All these legends I’ve grown up loving are dying so young, I can’t even imagine how his loved ones feel. Dave and Pat and Taylor’s family...RIP Taylor & Kurt🖤
And it’s DOLLAR GENERAL.
Saw FF in Nshville while he had his broken leg. He sat in a throne with his leg propped up in a cast and still put on a better show than most frontmen I've ever seen! Plus, Gary Clark Jr. opened up for them and it was basically one of the best nights of my life.
To be someone with as much fame as Dave has, he's one of the most chill guys out. I've always heard good things about people meeting him out in the public.
I will never get enough of Dave Grohl
Protect this man at all costs. Dave Grohl is amazing. He's such a cool, humble and all around amazing human. Love his music.
I want a show from the foo Fighters named "Food Fighters" where they cook stuff xD
and sing songs
_"A little bit of sea salt, is what I need now"_
Amazing conversation. I met Dave back in '88 at 924 Gilman when he was drumming with Scream. 30+ years later and I'm still addicted to live music. And it's true, the best music is that that makes an emotional connection.
“Im too sexy for my shirt
Too sexy for my shirt
Too sexy it hurts”
Point and case- Yeah, I agree.
"we finish each others sandwiches." this man just made a Frozen reference. Yet ANOTHER reason why i fucks with this man.
19:45 I've never imagined that I would hear Dave Grohl doing ASMR in my life
PLS ME NEITHERRR
LOVE Dave Grohl! He is so genuine, kind, down-to-earth and has a great sense of humor.. I could listen to him all day. Would love to sit and chat with him!
Dave is awesome. He's the dude you want as your next door neighbor.
Thank you Grohl. So much of your music has gotten me through this muddy up hill battle.
Cool that so many new people are introduced to Dave's personality through Whitney and vice versa. Stars aligning
Love Dave’s interview of Whitney.... For #3 please let it breath a bit, would be nice to hear the guest answer the question before changing the subject.
Guys this is only her second episode, she's still trying to figure it out.
exactly so she'll learn by reading comments
i thought it was pretty good esp for ep 2,
How does she get dave on 2nd ep
Why is he so nice and amazing for no reason😩
I would definitely be a horrible fan if I ever met Dave. Mind blowing.
Interview John Fruciante.
Please!!!
Yes
Would never happen!
Is this just gonna be a 90s rock podcast then
Would never happen lol
How increadibly creative can one person be? Dave gets to play and record music with some of the best musicians imaginable. He's the man!
I had the pleasure of attending Dave Grohl's Birthday at the Forum and in the same year seeing the Foo Fighters later that year, and both are tied for the best concerts ever! He's amazing, the other band members are incredible. #bestnightsever
Whitney I love you!
He truly is a down to earth guy! Had to pleasure of meeting him and he was so nice when i asked him to take a picture!!
Dave Grohl blows my god damn mind with his way of thinking and perspective on life! A bloody genius!
Thank you Ethan and Hila for hosting her and introducing me to her podcast! Great moves Whitney, keep it up, proud of you!
You got it twisted, but that’s okay. Hopefully you’ve grown in the subsequent years since!
Hearing dave talk about musical revolutions gave me chills. Goosebumps
I love this guy. I can spend hours listening to this guy. He always has something to talk about.
Whitney, I love you, but please let the guests finish their sentences/thoughts before jumping in and changing the direction. I’m not sure you ever let Dave finish any of the questions you asked him
Seriously
Ok karen 🤣😅
@@lopunybubbles Genius response. Did you come up with that on your own?
YESS!! Can't wait to dig into this one. Dave Grohl has been "good for me" for several years now! :) Thanks for having him on! Rock on Whitney!
Such a genuine, humble dude who just happens to be a great musician. He respects the fact that his (and others)talents made him famous, but he's just like that friend we all WANT to be or that all of us have had in our lives at one time.
His nice, unpretentious personality is so refreshing.
No matter your musical taste, politics, color, etc... everyone who has met him or has just watched his interviews has nothing but nice things to say about him.
His daughters are the luckiest kids on earth, what a magical world we would have if all farther’s were Dave Grohl.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Dave Grohl has never been “hip” because he’s legendary status. Love his humility!
his soundcity and sonic highway docs were so good, very anthropological
I fell asleep with CZcams playing in the background, and when I woke up at 4am to pee, Sound City was on - it had just started. I was tired af, but couldn't go back to sleep, because I had to watch all of it. Such a great documentary. It gives us a peek into a world that we would never see or know much of anything about unless an "insider" let's us into it. When I finally fell back to sleep, my dream was wild LOL
This is why I love Dave Grohl he is so humble and real ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
This is great. You can really tell these two have a natural vibe together and that makes for the best interviews.
Watched for Dave, but left delighted by Benton's retail stories.
Whitney is pretty freaking awesome too
I always wondered what Kurt meant when sang "I'm sick of paying for the love boat." Now I know lol
.erehW
Where?

I wish Dave Grohl was my friend. He's cool as hell
Just got into your stand up about maybe two weeks ago and now found this channel for podcasts! Been loving it so far! Best one yet is this one with Dave Grohl! Keep killing it Whitney! 🥳
Whitney,
Thank you SOOO much for having Dave on. This podcast made me love him more than I already do (I hate elevators too 🤣👏🏼) but seriously I’ve been a fan of you both for a while! “He’s a human angel” and you’re killing it with this podcast!!!
I hope she keeps getting musicians in the future episodes. I wished she mentioned the local punk bands shes saw in DC
Knows about Bad Brains so she's got that going for her...
"I know 15 year olds who are obsessed with your music"
wait a second... THAT'S ME!
Yup same
I really love Dave…he’s so laid back, utterly cool and open to his daughter, Violet🥰. It’s all real!!
If Dave didn't say he was a blue crab guy I would have cried. Best seafood in the lower 48! I'm loving all this Ocean City talk!
Hard to find authentic crab cakes once you deviate from the home land 😩
I know, man. 7/8 of my vacations were to Ocean City growing up lol
Still hear the sounds of the Purple Moose cover band now.
Hey while I’m thinking of it, I remember hustling drunks for twenties with my acoustic guitar- “heeey play me a song guy I’ll pay you pleasssee”
I love that you finally get a podcast. And I adore your 1st 2 guests. Way to go. Keep up the great work.
great work?? really -
She could decide to have one anytime. Nobody gave it to her. People podcasted for 10 years now. And shes a fake, unfunny psycho.
@@oldgrannywheels i agree Mr. Brendan Fraser also i love yr movies- the only thing good about her is- she is supported by so many great comics- i seen her on a LATE NIGHT talk show- like Conan i- and she said- guys never change their pants- the audience was waiting for the punchline- BUT- that was her joke- she BOMBED so hard- just last week- on the new David Spade show Lights Out- SPade says to her- "yr bombing now" -
Him putting on his glasses to see Whitney's TikTok was adorable 😍😂
Whitney! Just started chemo and radiation AND discovered your podcast. Not alot to smile about right now but your show has changed that. Love all your guests and Benton is a doll.
Being from Maryland, all this ocean city and blue crab talk has me stoked
Same
This podcast is now my favorite! Love the flow of the interviews! Well done!
This was such a good interview Whitney! 👏 You CAN do it without interrupting!!!
"See?" I yell to my wife, "Dave Grohl says I'm a rock star!" She looks at me a long time, no blinking, and says, "He hasn't tried your cooking."
My only note for Benton is that he's my favorite discovery of 2019. ✨
Can’t imagine starting a podcast off and then interviewing the person that helped you get through one of your hardest times with their energy and statement ... and that person be DAVE... I mean... way to start out 🤣 Intense
Just listening to this while doing work stuff and I swear to god I cannot concentrate. Burst out laughing too often, that ''I'm practically Amish'' part still brings tears to my eyes
This was the first podcast of yours that I’ve watched and it was awesome! Definitely coming back for more. Thanks!
Loved every moment of this podcast. I really did love last week too! A huge fan of your comedy and mindset and you definitely make us all feel a bit more normal!
Please please let your guest talk, if they’re telling a story let them finish then come up with your own. Of course it’s your podcast and you want to express your thoughts and tell your funny experiences that are related to the ones your guest is/are telling, but if you don’t let them finish telling theirs you won’t get anywhere, or I mean, maybe yes, but if you keep doing it that way it will be frustrating for us (your audience) and probably to your guest too. I guess we (the listeners/viewers) will let it slide hehe, since it’s only the second podcast, hopefully those interviewer skills will improve. But keep up getting this kind of super guests and the good vibe and we’ll be here every time!! 😃 The best of luck!
Dude...YES! THIS! I finally turned it off because she kept cutting him off whenever he tried to make a point, answer a question, etc...painful...maybe I'll come back to it at some point...
@Jennifer Lwas Thats a BROAD assumption
THANK YOU GODDAMN im from NoVa also and I WANTED to hear so bad about his favorite spots and SHE KEPT CUTTING HIM OFF
"hopefully those interviewer skills will improve" it's been a year and I'd say they kinda have not
Dave Grohl is the only celebrity that you can trust he is just a talented normal guy that got really lucky and now is a wold wide celebrity. And he knows that.
Dave Grohl is a humble and great human being. Loved by millions. A member of two great bands ever. The greatest drummer of the 90’s or maybe still am the greatest now.
Whitney, you’re great, I hate to say it though: I want Grohl on JRE.
Hate to say it? She knows it as well
This episode was gen X af
* The Cars song ref by Dave was borderline boomer. ( dont think she got that ref )
Whitney is 37 at the time of this recording, more like Gen Y af!
Dave is the greatest by far of all rock gods. Most real singer/ rocker I have ever heard speak. Awesome
Found this admist covit - I would PAY for a dave cooking show - how awesome would that be
This man is someone to look up to. I love this guys whole being!
Everyone (should) already know(s) that Dave's a legend. Let's take a moment to appreciate an excellent interviewer.
I can watch this interview over and over... so good
That was great Whitney. Dave never disappoints
Omg I laughed so hard when Dave told the story about giving the karaoke singer a card that they got from an A&R guy while in Nirvana.
This was lovely. You both are amazing☺
Love the way he puts his glasses on so he can see the phone.... 🤣🤣🤣 i just think it's adorable when people do it. My little brother does it all the time and it's cute.
You should definitely have more guests like Dave.
