Nah
This is more proof they know they need Jake to survive and sell tickets.
Iāve obviously shown that i donāt know shit but if Jake is currently not reliable, wouldnāt spending the last few weeks scrounging up somebody to jump in on guitar for a weekend or 2 make sense from a good production standpoint? They had no shortage of drummers ready to fill in at 2 different points.
Without those fill-in drummers, the shows woulda been canceled. They donāt need to cancel these shows. Also - part of me feels like those shows were tryouts for some of the fill-ins.
This whole Jake absence is so weird. Credit to the band/org for keeping what happened under wraps. Itās clear it isnāt a substance problem.
We have no idea what is going on
Also recommend the Sonoran/Tex-Mex dog when you come south of the Mason Dixon line
100%
it is?
the only thing thatās obvious in life is death and taxes
This to me is the funniest, and therefore least likely outcome
This whole situation is the furthest thing from āclearā.
UM fans are hilarious
If the intentions are unclear⦠id rather not be here
I just want to hear that Fridayās show starts off with Mulcheās or Ringo, starting off a nice summer of UMoe. and maybe we bury this thread under a sea of posts about bunned weiners.
While Iāve enjoyed the dogs down south while Iām stuck down here
This little lady is still the GOAT. I miss her!
Not so fast my friend
Is this on the menu, cause oh lawd do I need to get this asap
Ohh yes brutha
Portilloās combo right there ā Italian beef + grilled Italian sausage
Literally always thought it was one of each

I love how @matt speculated about alcohol issues and people jumped down his throat over it, then @iamkickinit speculates that itās not about alcohol and people are like whoa hold your horses there
My shit hasnāt been speculation - itās a fact and directly from the band. Multiple convos at diff times/places. Iām trying (failing) to be respectful of those sources/relationships. Oh well.
Are band members consistently lying in private convos about this across many months? Perhaps but thatās v v unlikely. (Granted, they were apparently lying or oblivious about the punching thing).
Canāt say it any more plainly: Jake has a drinking problem and - more importantly - is aggro when heās drunk. He needs to not be drinking to be in the band.
Like I said before, believe whatever you want and cope as hard as youād like but those are the facts.
Anyways, Iām done expending energy in this thread (that isnāt hot dog related).
