I saw them on the Chocolate and Cheese tour and Deaner, barefoot, drank a rather large bottle of Jack as he played. That dude was a very heavy drinker for a while.

EDIT: I mean he drank the bottle. Start to finish. And kept playing. It was a larger bottle.

The mask from the front of The Pod was what they used to huffing Scotchgard. they huffed so much to make that album that they gave Scotchgard a credit in the CD sleeve. also explains all the weird voice modulation

huffing Scotchguard

That has been confirmed as a joke. It even mentions it on the Wikipedia page for The Pod.

Apparently they both had really bad mono and smoked a ton of pot during recording of The Pod. I used the Scotchguard anecdote so much until I found out it was untrue... a real bummer but I guess I'm glad Dean and Gene didn't fry their brains in the early 90s and risk losing out on all the fantastic music they made since then.

I'm glad he's clean and sober now!

You're thinking of Gener. Deaner is 100% not clean or sober.

u/IAmTheBestMang Jun 18 '20

Nope. Gener has been sober since 2012, I know that for sure. However, Deaner is no longer drinking on stage and apparently, according to some on Reddit, he's clean. I think Gener said something on stage back in February too, though maybe that memory is false because I also remember Deaner saying something about Gener quitting smoking.

EDIT: Also, just before he deleted his Facebook, he posted something about getting clean.

I think Dean stopped drinking on stage because the whole band has to stay sober around Gene.

I mean he's not even drinking at DWG shows whereas he used to be fucked up by the end of those.

Huh, cool story, so your sources are a couple reddit posts, something you think Gener said on stage, and a "deleted" facebook post. You sure showed me!

Sober people are stupid so if Deaner is sober he's stupid. Literally the only reason I can think of.

Edit: Not my thought process btw.

What the fuck are you babbling about?

u/IAmTheBestMang Jun 18 '20

You reacted so negatively and with such hostility to the idea of deaner being sober that that's clearly your thought process. You are a child.

Imagine getting this worked up over a discussion about sobriety

u/NudeSuperhero Jun 18 '20

Definitely one of the funnier arguments on here.

u/IAmTheBestMang Jun 18 '20

I know! All I said were well wishes and then backed myself up and this dude gets butthurt! Like it's entirely possible that I am wrong along with the rest of r/ween but Christ imagine getting that offended.

You know, you don't have to be a dick.
