Drunk Dial Correction – Chunk and John from Lobster, Ryan from Yellowcard

I just got an email from Chunk of Lobster Records. I guess I was completely off about the participants in what I thought was Sean’s 3rd drunk dial of the night. Sean was actually nowhere to be seen and Kevin Wade also wasn’t in attendance. Ryan Mendez from Yellowcard was there and for Halloween, he was dressed up as our good buddy Kevin Wade(photo above). The other participants of the drunk dial include Chunk and John Cox from Lobster. Thanks for the correction Chunk and thanks for the drunk dial. Here is the drunk dial:

Drunk Dial Roundup – The best calls from Saturday and Sunday night

Over the entire weekend, we got well over a hundred calls. It is becoming increasingly tough to go through all of the messages to select the best to share with you. It has been fun so far, but I can see us receiving over a thousand calls over a weekend and when that happens, I am not sure how I will be able to go through them all. Here are some of the highlights:

3 Drunk Dials from Topeka, Kansas, Sunday Night 12:30 ish – Over the course of 3 calls, we get advice to sign some real bands like “Johnny Cash, Pink Floyd, Staind, the Format, and Britney Spears”, something about becoming the biggest Super Powers by selling to China, and that we try too hard to run a business and that we should build grass houses out of sod. Call 2 mentions some “Mark Twain shit” about going to the bathroom when you have to go. Call 3 is a short call, “A is for Apples, B is for Bananas, and Hay is for Horses.”
Topeka Call 1
Topeka Call 2
Topeka Call 3

Fuck everyone that doesn’t live in Chicago, Sunday night 10:57 p.m., Chicago, IL – These Chicagoans discuss their love for all things Chicago, how Mullets and Big Beers need to come back, how Drag the River are the only good band on our label, something about Big Fat Titties, and how Lawrence Arms, Alkaline Trio, and the Honor System rule.
I Love Your Fucking Label, No Fuck that, Your Label Fucking Sucks, 11:13 p.m., New Jersey – This caller isn’t sure if he loves our label or if it sucks or if he loves our bands or if they suck. When you figure it out, make sure you call again.

Drunk in a bathroom, 10:30p.m, St Louis, MO – This caller lets us know a few times that he is drunk in a bathroom and that he was mistaken for Pete Wentz because he wore some guyliner.

We are So Fucking Wasted, 10:49 p.m, Minnesota – Pretty simple and short call letting us know that they are so fucking wasted.

Andy Fucking Thomas, 10:36 p.m., Denver – Our good buddy Andy Thomas, formerly of Ghost Buffalo, calls to say that he was the caller that acted as though he was from Mothers against Drunk Driving. He starts by saying hi to all of us and then tells us about his misfortune of dropping a carton of eggs that broke and how that was a bummer.

Drunk Driving no good, 5:54 a.m., Ft Worth, TX – This caller tells us that he is driving home. SUBURBAN HOME DOES NOT CONDONE DRUNK DRIVING. Get a cab next time you are thinking about driving as it is safer and cheaper than a D.U.I.

Drunk Dial Roundup – Webzines know how to Party

It may be purely coincidental, but many of the drunk dials that came in over Saturday and Sunday night were made by folks at various webzines. As you listen, you will see that Pastepunk and different folks at Mammoth Press were quick to blow up our drunk dial hotline. I must ask, where you at Punknews and AbsolutePunk?

Alex from Pastepunk – Alex was kind enough to let us all know about the very best bands in metal, he also mentioned a couple that suck.  Alex particularly likes a new band called Arsis, so metal fans, take note!

Neal from Mammoth Press -  Claiming only to help out occasionally with code issues on the Mammoth Press site, he goes on to say that the party he was at was a. broken up by police and b. had some of the worst beer he has ever had. He also clues us into how he was corrupted by our good friend Sean Dore of Mammoth Press who got him started drinking about a year ago.

Sean from Mammoth Press – Sean may end up becoming our resident drunk dialer. He currently holds the record for most calls and for longest call. Sean’s first call finds him reluctant  to identify himself, but he later gives clues as to who he is. He mentions his excitement for the upcoming BYO Punk Rock Bowling Tournament which he plans on attending. Sean’s second call finds him a bit drunker and calling for some of the same reasons as the first call. Sean’s final call of Saturday night currently holds the record for longest call (over 6 minutes). There are actually a cast of characters on this final call that includes Sean, Kevin of Punkrocks.net, and I think a Ryan Mendez of Yellowcard. During the call, they take shots, mention the Gamits, pass the phone around, and almost tell a Mexican joke. One of the reasons they hold back is because they think that I might be Mexican and might be offended. For future reference, I am Korean.

Drunk Dials roundup – Friday night, October 27th

I was blown away when I noticed that I had nearly 50 drunk dials on my voicemail. I can only imagine how quickly this could grow and there may be a time very soon when we need a staff to listen to all of the drunk dials. Being that there were so many, I have to begin only posting the very best drunk dials. With that said, I present you the most amazing drunk dials left last night. Note, that I will make assumptions of what time the call came in by looking at where the caller’s phone number is from. Enjoy:

“He Done Ruined My Halloween”, 2:39 a.m., Atlanta, GA -  This southern belle seems to have spilled her drink on herself at the beginning of the call. Undeterred, she discusses the fact that her Halloween was ruined because her friend wiped his white face paint onto her dress and now her costume was ruined. She was dressed up as Corella Deville from 101 Dalmations and was expecting to enter a costume contest on Tuesday. With hope, she will be able to clean her dress and win the contest. Corella, if you are out there, please send us a jpeg of you in your costume!

“We’re Better than you California”, 2:47 a.m., Portland, OR  -  I am not sure if the caller thinks that we (suburban home) are based in California, but he goes into a diatribe about how California will soon be buried by flash floods and that the Pacific Northwest will become the “superpowers that Earth wants them to be”. Good stuff!

“God Doesn’t Exist”, 11:11 p.m., Norfolk, VA - The caller mentions listening to one of our bands that he claims to be an Every Time I Die wannabe, but I have no idea who he could be talking about. He then goes into a rant about how God doesn’t exist. Pretty funny.

“Drunk Dials are Fucking Awesome”,  11:48 p.m., Denver, CO – Short call, but the caller states her love for Drunk Dials and that her friend was on the phone so she thought she should also be on the phone.

There were a number of drunk dials that were good, but you couldn’t understand anything that was said. And there were a few people who left their phone numbers on the voicemail and I figured that when that person became sober, they would not have appreciated us publishing an mp3 with their number.

Drunk Dials: Suburban Home Staff gets Drunk

If it isn’t already known, you should know that most of the staff at Suburban Home Records enjoy getting their drink on. While reviewing drunk dials on my laptop, laying on my couch, I noticed 4 drunk dials from Suburban Home staff, 2 from Hannah and 2 from Seabron. They are pretty funny and reviewing them, I realized I have the option to post what time they came in. The following drunk dials appear in the order of which they were received:

Hannah and Veronica drunk dial 1, 10:53 p.m. – Hannah’s friend, Veronica was the first to take note that I was not drunk when leaving a voice mail greeting for the hotline. We are planning a nice drinking session to leave a proper voice mail greeting.

Seabron drunk dial 1, 12:09 a.m. – I think Seabron’s friend Amanda starts out the call, but it is really hard to understand what she is saying. Seabron gets on, identifies herself and mentions some of the costumes at the costume contest they are at.

Hannah and Veronica drunk dial 2, 1:23 a.m. – Sounding a bit drunker than the previous call, they mention 2 co-workers, Kyle and Brandon, and Veronica says that she still loves us guys although she just barely met us. They mention having delicious cheesy fries from Denver Teds.

Seabron has Hiccups, 3:05 a.m. – Seabron is still partying at 3 a.m. and she is bummed about having hiccups. She also mentions that she doesn’t want us posting this drunk dial. Sorry Seabs, but that is what the drunk dial hotline is all about.
