My dad's an alcoholic and life at home was pretty crazy sometimes. What is it about this album that you and, uh, you know, Robbie are so passionate about and so excited to, to release into the world? about ILikeYourOldStuff and their record label based on my All right, last question, man. I let some, I let myself spiral down because of someone else's opinion of me. [24] On December 22, 2016, he and Gallo had their first child, a daughter, Liliana. What happens when more people don't like me than like me? You've gotta reframe the way you look at failure, it's part of the process. The day quickly became a city triumph when rain came pouring down during their performance. Awesome. John Rzeznik: And so basically his job was to beat up drunk soldiers, you know? Boom. Mike Sarraille: But, you know, interesting times are not always good times. It's like the, the, the, we all feel like victims sometimes, you know? We acknowledge the traditional custodians of this land throughout Australia and recognise their continuing This is my life. The lead singer of the Goo Goo Dolls talks about surviving a plane crash, being a Buffalo Bills fan and making a sad song sound happy. But, but we'll eventually, uh, get there. I Like Your Old Stuff is for fans of classic albums & icons of music. So in that moment what I did was I ordered wine for the whole table and I'm like, This is not your problem. Rzeznik was born in Buffalo, New York, the youngest of five children and only son of Edith (ne Pomeroy) and Joe Rzeznik,[5] a bar proprietor and postal clerk. With Rzeznik taking over the principal lead vocalist role, his self-styled tunings also made their first appearance on a Goo Goo Dolls recording via the album's closing track, Two Days in February. Wait, John, let me put it to you this way. There are a lot of sick people in the world and a few of them happen to gravitate towards me. Yeah. Um, and when you, and then you, and then you put Covid on top of it and you're trapped in the house and you have a lot of time to think and introspection and that, and, and this, this album is sort of a, uh, it's kind of a reflection on like, just being a human being during this insane time in history, you know? Now without an amplifier, Rzeznik borrowed a near-identical Marshall JCM800 from a mutual friend of the band, Charles Root.
. Hope so. Rzeznik has said that he would "basically sit there at night and just start tuning my guitar strings up and down until something sounded really cool." And there were five kids.

Flight 255 is the seventh deadliest plane crash in United States history, and is the deadliest aviation disaster to have a sole survivor. So you better get over this fear. What, what does Robbie mean to you? I don't know what, Why do you think that generation was wired that way? Um, Right. I think this is something that I, I'm just gonna say that I think, like I have, I've been to a few therapists in my life and over the past few years, you know, you have to tell your story to the therapist. What, tell me about the tour man. That's good to hear, man. And especially for somebody who is maybe single in New York, living in a, uh, 400 square foot apartment, if they're lucky. I call them when I'm in trouble. Wait. Um, I believe that it was, it, I was born with it. And, and, and there are, there are new forms of, of therapy, you know, um, you know, cognitive behavioral therapy and things like that, that are very proactive and try to in, you know, integrate you in, you know, back into life. John Rzeznik: The whole audience was singing a song with me and I thought, theoretically, in a vacuum, half this audience voted for [Donald] Trump and half voted for [Hillary] Clinton, but everyone in the room is singing in a room together. It is amazing that that happens. That, that's really easy. But, but when I know that people are so divided along all kinds of lines in this country and in the world too right now, But one of the things that I have been noticing this summer, because I've been gone for three years, I've been toured in three years. I was like, we were in a plane crash, uh, in Sicily. John Rzeznik: He paid for his own apartment using Social Security Survivor Benefit checks. You know, and, and quite literally they did. John Rzeznik: Was that innate or was it because you worked your freaking ass off? So, you know, there, you know, and to, and the thing is, when, when you're in a vulnerable position, there's no shortage of people who are gonna try to take advantage of that. Um, and then, and then we were flying back and we had to go through Sicily and the plane crashed, like legit crashed. And guys, thank you for joining The Everyday Warrior. And the problem with therapy now, as I think people just use it as a crutch. Mike Sarraille: The single featured Rzeznik on vocals and was written by Cash Cash and Rzeznik together. I need to up in that boat. At the 2004 Fashion Rocks! My wife and I will go take a look at that and hopefully we will find a way to make one of the, uh, the shows. John Rzeznik: But they just came home. John Rzeznik: And you've gotta have the balls to walk away from any situation. No, no. Um, and, and I, in retrospect again, you know, it's like, Oh, I understand why my father was so dark, You know, because he grew up in a screwed up situation. But, um, he got, he was, he was a dark individual. Than than later, earlier. We knew why we existed. And these are, these are challenges that the universe is putting in front of me to, to overcome, to get to the next place. Uh, yes, you probably have innate talent, but everywhere I've been, all my success, the product who I am has always been coaches and mens. You know? John Rzeznik: And you're, you know, where, where you were, you brought up an interesting point. So I had, I had a reason to talk to every pretty girl in the bar. John Rzeznik: Because it comes from yourself. And hold your head high moral courage is, uh, there's a deficit in this world. That hasnt changed about me, but if you mention, Gee, wouldnt it be nice if everyone could go and see a doctor? suddenly youre branded a socialist whos ruining the country. So I had to, Now it took a while because I am an addict and I, you know, and I always will be, but when it finally got to a point, we were all out at dinner one night and one of the guys in the band was texting one of the other guys in the band, Where are we gonna go after John leaves? John Rzeznik: That took a lot of moral courage to do that. I'm not gonna hold your hand.

Oh, I just felt this whole empty feeling, he says. this website may contain images, voices and names of deceased persons. But that's what worked for me because, and, and when I felt uncomfortable, I got up and left and I went back to my room and I called another alcoholic and said, Dude, I was just at dinner, everybody was drinking wine, got a little crazy and slowly it got better.

Podcast's a lot. 10,000 people like me. And it, it does help when somebody says, Hey man, what you do is good. That's how you win. And that, that was really became a motivating factor in my life. Like there are these, uh, fans of our band who they get together, they meet from all over the country, and they get together and they come to a few shows together and they've, they've had these friendships that developed and, and, and I'm like, that's so cool that they bonded over something. Um, okay, next one is, what are those like one to three tenants? Wow. And then come Friday, that person went their direction with their circle of friends. They put their differences aside and they come into the arena and find some common ground.
