Wes Scantlin & Robin Diaz of Puddle of Mudd

In this incredible episode, the Beardo and the Weirdo are joined by Wes Scantlin and drummer Robin Diaz of the multi-platinum rock band Puddle of Mudd.

Wes opens up about his unbelievable origin story in the music industry, recounting the time he was working as a roadie for a fire-breathing stripper and decided to sneak a demo tape to Fred Durst's security guard backstage at a Family Values tour in Kansas City. In one of the greatest moments in podcast history, Craig and Chris surprise Wes by bringing that exact security guard, Richie, onto a live video call to reminisce about the moment that ultimately launched Puddle of Mudd's massive career.

The conversation also takes a deep and dark dive into the realities of rock and roll addiction, with Wes, Craig, and Chris all sharing their harrowing near-death experiences with drugs and alcohol. Wes talks candidly about smoking freebase cocaine alone in a closet on Christmas Day, nearly choking to death on his own vomit in a Burbank recording studio, and surviving a horrific e-bike hit-and-run accident that left him with a fractured skull and a five-month recovery.

Things get absolutely wild as Wes shares his craziest Las Vegas stories, including a man collapsing at a Luxor craps table while an escort stole a hundred-dollar bill out of his pocket, hotel security having to remove a stalker ex-girlfriend from his room at the M Resort, and the unbelievable time the police tear-gassed his Hummer. Finally, the guys discuss Puddle of Mudd's new song, their latest album, and how bad relationships continue to inspire their biggest hits.
