- Adam welcomes consummate singer Darius Rucker to the show for a nuanced and entertaining look at his life and career as he’s about to release a new album. Darius grew up with a single mom and even though his father was mostly absent from his life, we learn of some audacious requests from him once Darius found success. We discover his initial love for music, how ‘Hootie & the Blowfish’ was created with college buddies, and the trajectory of being successful and talented as a black man not necessarily fitting into specific molds of where people expect others should be. He mentions being the butt of SNL jokes, and on the brighter side some epic rockstar parties.
Next, Adam welcomes more music greats; Dicky Barrett and Pete Parada who created a new band together, ‘The Defiant’. They came together over their shared experiences of the abrupt ways in which they were both kicked out of their previous bands. When mob mentality turned on them, they found common ground together and have lots to say about the state of today and the last few years.
Chris introduces the news with a clip from Vivek Ramaswamy from the first Republican presidential debate which segues into an interview from Adam 15 years prior that was remarkably similar. They also discuss a recent Tucker Carlson interview with Trump that garnered hundreds of millions of views.

It's not that we won't get together, it's that we are being driven apart by the folks who are terrified of us getting together.
..... yeah if everyone could just think a bit more independently they wouldn't be so successful at that...
I have noticed in the UK that pubs (bars) have either closed, been taken over by mirthless chains or turned into gastro pubs
Pubs used to be where local communities gathered and talked, shared views, shared complaints and most importantly laughed at the clowns that rule over us
Lawyers played darts with plasterers, black and white mixed quite naturally and although the atmosphere, smoke filled back then was certainly highly masculine, women were always treated with utmost respect.
A pub landlord did far more than a guy pulling pints, he was a social worker without realizing it, a fount of local knowledge and introductions, a sounding board for ideas
In 30 years that has been almost entirely destroyed.
It's a damned shame.
I didn't walk away from my friends, they were too busy telling me to die and calling me a razist and a white Supreme and that I have no idea what it's like to be a minority in South central la while my Mexican ass was listening to gunshots down the street in South central la.
Years ago it was a Saturday night and I go to my usual place. I go to the bar and order a beer and while I am standing there, a dude drinking a beer says something and we strike up a 5-minute conversation. I think to myself... I like this dude. Cool dude. An hour later, that dude is the singer of the band. Six months later... Hootie and the Blowfish blow up. No doubt in my mind there are a thousand people with the same story as mine. This guy is 100% genuine. Good on you Darious.
Darius is the man 💙 an he’s got the best laugh an Omgosh his voice does it to me every time 💙
Darius is a awesome to his fans. Can't wait to see him in concert again. Love his music.
If being racist were an Olympic event black ppl would win every gold medal 🥇
I'm currently reading my work's web article about "Diversity Day" and it's taking everything I have in me to not leave a comment asking "I am a straight white male, will I be welcome at this event?"
Assholes are assholes. It's like the flipside of people are people. Just be nice. It's easier than one might think.
Saw a headline the other day where a cardiologist said he used to see myocarditis about 2 to 3x a year. He now sees myocarditis almost everyday.
A buddy of mine met Darius years ago at a golf charity outing ...the dude was super freaking cool and very generous
I concur. Dude kept saying come man have a drink. We were doing his security at a family dinner. He invited us all to a bar a week later.
From all laughs with Darius to all rants with Defiant Great Show Adam.
The passive aggressive way Aceman attacks the booth guys gives me severe secondhand embarrassment 😂
no this happens almost every day@@EricDavisED
He called them idiots the other day, I wanted to yell stfu
Darius is a genuine man, he doesn’t try to fool anyone. Gen X made some good ones. Good job Ace , as usual.
Another great show. Thanks Adam for speaking the truth. If you ever run for any office, you have my vote!!!
Freaking love Rucker.
Remember Adam, it isn’t a conspiracy if it is true!!! Keep up the great fight we all have to fight back for our freedom!!
Actually a conspiracy just means a plot or plan of some kind. The word has nothing to do with fact or fiction. Again, another good example of how the powers at be have vilified language and caused people to have certain predisposed ideas.
I shuttle past his anti-science, conspiracy laden rants. They're boring, repetitive and wrong. The Monday morning quarterbacking covid is insufferable.
@@Gzoratto Keep your face diaper on nice and tight and don't forget to have that 7th 'booster' injection as you weaken your immune system. 7th time is the charm.
@@KayFabe87 Thanks for the reply. I'm Canadian. We had half the US deaths and 1/4, the mortality rate of Florida, which Adam claims handled the virus best. Maintaining life might not be your priority. That's a choice.
I had a bar from 93-96 in NW Wisconsin and we played the sh*t outta Hootie. Been a fan since. Great get Adam
Loved the interview, Darius was great.
This channel should have 6.5 million awakening wonders just like russel brand .
The Bosstones kicking out Dicky is like Huey Lewis and the News kicking out Huey Lewis
Darius Rucker also is the voice actor of the "commander in queef" character in Rick and Morty 👍🏻
Great show today 👏🏻 !
It's great that DR is still around doing good music and showing those who talked shit or were snobs about his band how wrong they were. Seen Hootie twice and great both times.
I dont think most black people today realize that rock n roll was mostly black people early on
Only when it's convenient for them to say "y'all steal everything from us."
B.B. King, Chuck Berty, Fats Domino, and countless others.
It was basically ALL black. Before "rock & roll" it was called R&B or blues etc.
If you want to remain adamant to the pending rec ession and feel like everything is alright, you must be living in a self created bubble. Seriously take a look at the economy and the way we've been going. Of course, not everyone will be lucky when the major effects start hitting us but it stands for a fact that a lot of people could do something for themselves. You will be delusional to think the govt actually cares or know what they are doing
very well said. I hate to say I might be among the unlucky ones haha. my finances are like a crack den right now
Well you gotta do something about it. The reason why I feel lucky is that my eyes got opened right when I needed it. Last year I stumbled across an interview where a lady was explaining everything to minute details. Turns out she is one of the best managers in the US right now. Mary Elizabeth Huxley
does she handle yours now?
Yes. She works like some of these large hedge funds do. She gets your account connected to hers in real time so any stuff she does in hers reflects in yours immediately. it's quite an easy process to set up since she explains the process quite well. It's makes it transparent since you don't get to hand funds over to her and can opt out when you feel you are not getting the best results. I have not seen a single reason not to stick with her anyways. And to think that I've seen so much as $430000 in after tax gains till date is what marvels me the most.
gotta check thi s out right away! how do I find her
Thank you for the long shows again!
my first concert was hootie
Love Dicky and Pete ❤️
Gotta love Darius! 👊🏻💥👊🏻
We need a cam on Dawson when he talks please
The nerve of deadbeat Dads. Glad he showed his hand so Darius didn’t waste his time.
Darius you bring amazing performances. Love your down to earth vibes they are electrifying. Love you! Keep doing what you do best n sing your Heart ❤ out! ❤👏🎵🎶💪🎸🎤💃💃
How punk rock of the offspring to kick their band member out for not complying with the United States government
Punk was dead before that pop band ever jerked off with power chords
Yeah, trash. As I've come to find, most "punk" or "rock bands" aren't even rebellious anymore, they are pro-establishment. Disgusting
Oh I know. I knew about this when it happened. Such BS
Punk stopped being an attitude and lifestyle a log time ago. It’s now just purely an aesthetic that is easily branded and sold by the same mega corporations that used to be shunned and mocked.
But...but...grandma?
I love these men speaking the truth. It is hard to fail in a successful family bc they all look at you like what the F is wrong with you? So pressure works both ways. Not all ppl loved grunge music! ❤❤❤
I’d love to see Adam talk to Jimmy Kimmel about politics, especially Covid 19 and Trump.
They are singing , “Take it!!! To the limit!! One more time!!”Get’em Adam! 😅😂. 08/28/23.
Darius is the fuckin' man, I love how he chuckled at the "Lick it up" joke.
Darius is the best.
This would be great if anyone but Adam was hosting.
agreed on the Maui fire gentlemen...if you cant see what REALLY happening.... Positive vibes to my peeps over there.
Great Show! Great Guests!
Great interview.
Yep, good time with Darius. Thanks!
Charleston , SC King St. Cafe 91 Seen Hootie on the stage for the first time. RKT CG-20
Damn! It’s crazy the world we live in!
'Out of Sight' (1998 Film) is an underrated classic!👍👍....Elmore Leonard who originally wrote the book also wrote 'Rum Punch' which was the basis for Quinton Tarantino's 'Jackie Brown' (1997 Film), and Michael Keaton's character (Detective Nicolette) appears in both films (they are part of the same literary universe), Samuel L. Jackson was also cast in both films, but plays different characters 🤓
Out of Sight is an amazing movie. I would easily rank it as one of my top 10.
@@TimPool.BeanieCivilWarlord JLO was definitely a 10 in that movie as well!
Outstanding! ❤
That was fun, I had never heard him interviewed. He seems like a good tome as well as wise. Ima listen to some if his stuff today.
Awesome interview ❤❤❤😂😂😂😊😊😊
I love Darius! Just saw him last Friday. Amazing he has totally perfected his craft! Was not expecting him to be on here
FYI, a BIG chunk of good content was edited out beginning at 1:30:41. Listen to the full podcast to hear it all.
Really? What is missing
@@amc78It was long conversation. I don't know why they edited it out.
@@chriscosentino3057 I just looked it up... They're talking about RFK and vaccines
Yeah, I always compare the run time of the YT vid to the podcast...the podcast is usually a little bit longer due to copyrighted content and such, but like today when it's a full 30 minutes longer, I know there must be something good. 😎
Who stands to benefit the most when they,
"divide and conquer!".
Darius' laugh is just like Violent J's.
Excellent.
Yeah get it on got to get it on
I enjoyed Dicky with Impact Unit
I saw them play at the penalty box!
@@patrickscott838 no fuckin' way! That's to be appreciated 👍 did they play with DYS or SSD, or neither..?
No didn't play in any bands i just went to a lot of shows back then!@@ericmatthews9799
saw Devo at the Calderone , theatre in Hempstead. Our favorite local band Vog was also in the audience
2 people that raised me
Adam, did you keep your glasses off for so long to look more attractive for Darius. I'm def feeling the respect and a bit of awe coming off of ya.
Ditto. That voice, every time I hear one of the old songs, yeah, it takes me back to watchjng them at NIU in Illinois back in '97 or '98 I think. Ya. Fuck. Where did those 25 years go?
🎵Cal-I-me-sa..take off your cowboy boots🎶
Darius Rucker and Aaron Yates have more in common than I thought.
orleans woods in da house yo
Wow, truly amazing. Something actually put me to sleep More then his music 25 years ago; his interview.
One answer to all of your questions Adam......$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
The truest voice in country today
🤙🏼
I wonder if kimmel listened to this? Head would explode or is he just cashing a check
Hi there evey one
Darius, gave my executive pal of mine a call. I'll be the first to let you know we are choosing you for the cover of this coming issue of.. ....Sports Illustrated
Yesssssir
I love Adam... but I HATE how he treats the crew. I worked in live production for years.. NO ONE really KNOWS if a 'mistake' is made except those on the crew.. take it ez Adam.. Dawson is great.
@@DrJoe-kf6qpThey do screw up a lot! Dawson is on point 99% of the time. I would do way better than most of the rest of Adam’s half-assed crew.
@@DrJoe-kf6qpHe has ripped on Dawson before. Dawson doesn't take it
Im speaking for all white people. I love Hootie.
Well, I feel like they also suffered from the Alanis Morisette curse. She had that first album that had several good songs on it (like for popular music), and they played the living crap out of it to where you couldn't avoid it EVER, so people got sick of it. Still, his songs sound great, so he wins in the end (plus the $ must be nice, lol).
Vivek and Tucker tomorrow,same show!! Heavyweights, Trump and VP Vivek, for 2028, Vivek and Tucker
Both on the show tomorrow?
The Colombia Music mail program was responsible for 10 of the 21 million cd’s sold.
Not many people are comfortable with name calling and the idea of using a slur directly to an individual, the gang mentality is not an excuse but the norm when faced with that same behavior alone and vulnerable one tends to hold their tongue.
I'd kick them out of the band for wearing their own merch. #mikeLove
spin doctors did the same thing to Mark White
Really
Gonna be interesting to see if Dexter Holland (lead singer of The Offspring) is gonna throw Adam under the bus for having Pete on. Both Dexter and Offspring guitarist, Noodles, have been constantly trashing him ever since he started speaking out.
The leftist mentality is essentially a cult-like state of mind.
I wish when adam has good guests he wouldn't bother with news.
Maui = DEWs
stop the old people thing. they are the people who should absolutely not take it.
Yeah no idea why Adam keeps saying that
My mom is almost 75, had covid last October and recovered quickly. I've managed to flip 50 years of voting D, in 2020 she was watching Don Lemon every night, now she watches Gutfeld and hates Biden, but I just can't get her to listen to reason and do research on the booster she's on the fence on getting. It's frustrating .
sorry. the "old people need to get jabbed" thing is insane but has been ground into every conversation every time and sadly by people who should know better.@@D-Fens_1632
Rucker's family before: Why you playin' that 'white boy' music? You ain't keepin' it real and whitey ain't gonna let you be successful.
Rucker's family after: Hey Darius! We knew you could do it. Never had a doubt. By the way; I was looking at this house in the hills and I was thinking maybe you could help with the down payment...
His dad tracking him down and hitting him up for $50 grand after being out of his life for 15 years was just epic in a cringe-worthy way.
call the culprits out - Democrats divide-and-conquer
thats like being fired from supertramp..WHO CARES
Ah, no on maui. Incompetence yes, oprah burning down land ah no. Insanity
Adam hired same band that fired this guy? WOW!!!!! Hypocrite
I doubt adam even knew. It was like the same week
Gotta disagree w you on the failure of the man show Adam. Yes, you guys were great bcuz you were friends but they didn’t just “put two dudes together”. Rogan & Stanhope were friends too, and they were really invested in making it work. They did a lot of extra work behind the scenes to come up with creative stuff, but the suits at the network put the kabash on all their ideas, and suffocated the process in such a way that they couldn’t get their best ideas out. They had a leash on them, and very little creative freedom. Rogan & Stanhope talk about this at length in a lot of the old JRE episodes. You oughta have them both on to talk about it! That would be epic!
It doesn’t exactly help that Stanhope and Rogan are also shitty comedians.
Adam being a tyrant
A very unspoken about and graphic Pat Benetar song Hell is for Children.
They blacken your eyes and then apologize
This cruel abusing
A great song misunderstood by some people who weren't really listening
I can see why Adam's woman divorced him. Extremely hard to please...just look at how he treats his employees. Expects them to know everything and changes his requests on a dime. PEOPLE CAN'T READ YOUR MIND ADAM!!
Her voice alone was enough to chase anyone off he was always gone. They age like milk
Big fan of Adam, been listening to the podcast since day 1. However, it seems the show has changed recently in that (1) he seems to be consistently more right wing, in a "following the right winger playbook" kinda way and (2) he seems to be surrounding himself with others that agree with him on these topics. So some episodes (but not all) are a lot "see how right we are and how stupid everyone else is" agreement-fest. For me this makes for an uninteresting talk show, regardless of whether the people are on the right or on the left. Maybe Gina and Bald Bryan helped keep that in check a bit and now that they're gone it's been running more rampant? Or perhaps Adam recognizes that many see him as a voice of the right and he has leaned into it as a smart career move. Not sure.
AC vs music, seriously? Great guests though & otherwise intelligent, mature conversation. Musical opinion is total shit & even worse than crappy music itself
1000% I love Adam, but he is a musical moron!
The world needs more duses like This guy
Great fn episode. Ace is a great interviewer.
Hey Adam, Chris Anyone? Can we get some merch shirts with "GET IT ON" plastered acroas the front?
HOOTIE!!!!!
Bolshevik revolution 2.0 Adam...
Adam has horrible taste 😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣😂
