Even to this day, after I’ve done thousands of shows, I still get anxious. “The second I enter the festival I’m riddled with anxiety. It’s something he’s had to manage and overcome. He doesn’t drink before shows anymore because, he says, he realized it was becoming a pattern and didn’t want to head down that path. I’m just not a performer and I’ve definitely used alcohol to feel comfortable on stage in front of people.” “I would drink to make it bearable, which sounds crazy but really it’s the truth. Like, when performing, I would drink to calm nerves,” he says. Moving on, the two begin to talk about how Flume is no stranger to social distancing, even before COVID-19, how he doesn’t like attention and how that presents a conflict with his profession. “I actually called Wes because I know he’s had many viral stories, and he said, ‘You can’t pay for this kind of publicity.'” “There were some business things I had in the works that fell through because they didn’t want to be associated with it, because I was in the press for eating ass.” “I was championed in Australia as a legend. “I’m kind of like the Michael Cera of electronic music,” Flume said, “and if Michael Cera ate ass at Burning Man, everyone would be like…” as he trailed off. And they put up another sign that said ‘prove it.’ You saw the sign and jumped up on the megadeck, put your butt up in the air …” and Paige continues, “and you put your face in there for like maybe two seconds.” “Someone put up a sign saying ‘Does Flume even eat ass?’ and I did a little finger click, nod, and a point. It begins with Flume saying he needs to talk shit on someone famous because “that’s how you get headlines” (he’s not wrong) and they jokingly trash Brad Pitt before leading into Burning Man. The episode was recorded just as “social distancing” entered the public’s vernacular, so keep that in mind as you listen or read along. Life is just one big booty and if you don’t eat it, it eats you.In a new interview on the My Friend Podcast with Paige Elkington, Flume gets very real about a variety of topics, including his infamous Burning Man ass-eating video, as well as how he used to “self-medicate” with alcohol to be comfortable performing on stage and how he feels similar to Avicii in that respect.Īs we learned after the Burning Man incident, Paige is actually Flume’s girlfriend, so him being on her podcast isn’t so random. All the real ones know you gotta eat life’s ass. Doesn’t matter if you’re looking to be an accountant or you’re DJing at burning man. Just tell me if you eat the booty like groceries and I know everything I need to know about you. Don’t need the resume don’t need a cover letter. All I’m saying is instead of asking people how many ping pong balls fill a 747, or why are manhole covers round, this single question is all you need. Although if they pass this test they are the true go-getters of society. Honestly I know you can’t get away with this but if you’re interviewing a new candidate for a job, the first and maybe only question you should ask is “do you even eat ass?” Might be just a teensy bit of an HR problem. And you’re certainly not generous enough to establish firm relationships. You’re not adventurous or imaginative enough to shoot for the stars. You’re probably too timid to ever take charge. You’re probably too afraid to take any risks. But for my generation? Gen X or millennials or whatever it’s called? If you ain’t eating ass you ain’t eating, period. They were already on their way to millions and billions when this became the new wave. Like “OOOOH you’re supposed to whisper sweet nothings into a human’s ear but I’m gonna whisper into her nose!” That’s how Bezos rolls, and I’m sure all the old guys from another generation ain’t tossing salad in the bedroom either. For instance Jeff Bezos is worth like $100 bil and his example of getting kinky is whispering into Alive Girl’s nose. I’m not saying everyone who is successful eats ass. You will go nowhere in life in this modern era. It’s 2019 and if you aren’t eating butt you’re a failure. This move is what the kids call “Relationship goals.” It’s also career goals, and really if we’re being honest, just overall life goals right here. Turns out the only thing getting Boom roasted are Flume’s girlfriend’s butthole and this fan with the sign. Took the time to get out the poster board and the Sharpie and make himself a College Gameday-esque type of sign making fun of his favorite DJ. Welp I believe the man answered the question.
