America's wildest and
craziest country party,
aka the Redneck Rave, took place.
And unfortunately it descended into
chaos, and not the kind of chaos
that you would expect at a rave,
you know, the fun kind of chaos.
It was actually the violet and
potentially deadly kind of chaos.
So police found meth,
marijuana, and
an open bottle of, an open bottle
of alcohol in the first vehicle.
Is there a gambling in this
establishment?
Okay, don't care about that stuff.
Let's move on.
Yeah, raves, music festivals,
there are substances there,
congratulations.
>> Well it proves that meth is
a gateway drug that leads to
marijuana and alcohol.
>> And look,
I'm not a proponent of meth,
okay, I'm not a proponent of a lot
of these hard drugs.
With that said though, the other
stuff that happened at this rave
was bad, so let's get to that.
One person slit a friend's throat,
that seems pretty serious, and
remains at large,
also pretty serious.
A 29 year old man had
allegedly strangled a woman until
she passed out.
One person lost the better part
of a finger-
>> Which is the better part?
>> Hold on, yeah,
let's stop for a second.
I want to know what the better
part of a finger is.
>> They couldn't have
taken the backside.
>> [LAUGH] And another was,
but listen to this is, and another
was impaled when he drove a side by
side over a two to three inch log
that broke through the bottom of
the recreational vehicle.
Paramedics left the log inside
him as they
airlifted him to a hospital.
>> I mean I'm sure that that's
a blood loss thing.
When you're impaled on something,
you take it out actually causes
more- >> I know, John.
>> Well then that's why you
leave the log in.
Standard procedure, I've always,
I'm not going to complete that
sentence because I realized where
that was going.
But you get what I'm saying.
>> No, I get why they
would want to leave the log in.
>> Well then you should be happy,
that's responsible.
>> No, the guy was impaled
by a log though.
>> You're bothered by
the impalement, okay,
I can see where was.
>> And also continuing to be
impaled as he's being airlifted to,
so so far luckily no deaths.
I don't want anyone dying.
There were obviously very serious
injuries.
Six of the festival goers
are facing felony charges, and
the sheriff's office filed roughly
30 charges stemming from drug and
alcohol violations.
But the organizers of the event,
John, they have no remorse,
they're like,
this was a success, all right.
So Justin Time, I see what he did
there with his name, not his real
name, whose legal name is Justin
Stowers wrote on Facebook, quote.
This was the biggest event we've
ever done, and with as many people
and random things that popped
up unexpectedly I feel like we
all handled it very well.
>> He's probably referring to leave
in the log in.
[LAUGH] >> Considering,
we did the best we could.
So this is I would think of
objectively a win for them.
I mean they pitch it as the wildest
country party, I feel like they got
some publicity to that effect.
>> For sure. >> What,
are less crazy methed out people
going to go next time?
>> Yeah, I just-
>> Can I ask you a question?
>> Of course you can.
>> I'm not cool, I don't go to
the wildest country party,
I don't even go to one of the top
50 wildest country parties.
>> We all know. >> So
is this that dissimilar from what
happens at most things like that?
>> No, actually no, that's why I
wanted to bring this up.
So I'm curious as to why this
particular festival has gotten so
much negative attention.
Look- >> Is it the country part?
>> It's the country part, right,
and I think unfair.
I mean, I had attended a rave or
two in my youth, okay, some will
have you believe that I am not in
the prime of my youth these days.
And maybe that's true,
I don't know.
But when I was in the prime
of my youth,
I did go to these music festivals.
>> 40 years ago.
>> [LAUGH] And yeah,
sometimes people literally die from
drug overdoses.
>> Yeah, yeah. >> So it's-
>> I think,
is this going to get me in trouble?
Is slitting someone's throat worse
than a drug overdose?
I think it's worse.
>> Yes, it is, it is bad.
>> Yeah.
>> I don't know the slitting
of the throat was tied to drug use
that, there weren't any details
about that.
>> I mean look, you get people in
an event like this and
tensions run high I imagine.
But yeah, I don't think they see
it, unless they get shut down which
I can't see that happening.
I wouldn't think
that the organizers would have
a gigantic problem with this.
>> They do this twice a year.
Obviously people have been cooped
up indoors during the pandemic.
And the only real takeaway from
this story in my opinion is it's
going to get wild this summer,
incredibly wild.
>> Is that what white boy summer
looks like?
because it kind of sounds like
white boy summer honestly, you get
some meth, you have some country,
you strangle someone to the ground.
>> No- >> You get impaled on a log.
>> I wanted to share videos of this
event with you guys.
I didn't find anything that
was compelling enough to include in
the story, but go to YouTube and
watch videos of previous redneck
raves I guess.
I do have questions,
like they do the Mud Run.
>> Yeah.
>> Not the athletic kind, they
just seem to run into the mud for
some reason, but- >> Well yeah,
that's like a big,
at Woodstock that happened, so
I think that's a big- >> No no,
no judgement, no, no.
But I the question that I have is,
so then are they caked in mud for
the rest of the festival?
>> Probably, yeah.
>> That doesn't sound fun,
doesn't sound fun to me.
>> I think it's supposed to be
wild, I don't know.
I used to play, there was an event
at UConn every year that was,
it was volleyball in mud.
That was fun.
I don't know, just it's
supposed to be like going wild.
And yeah,
people have been cooped up,
although I'm going to,
is this wrong to say?
I'm going to guess that while
everyone has been cooped up,
I'm going to guess on average these
people have been less cooped up for
the last year.
>> Maybe, maybe.
>> I don't think they peered out of
their door, the sun burning their
eyes, and they're like,
it's redneck rave time.
[LAUGH] >> I think they'd already
been out a bit.
>> This was in Kentucky, so
you might be right about that.
Look, have fun,
please have fun responsibly.
Try not to get impaled by log,
don't slit people's throats, and
don't strangle people to the point
where they lose consciousness.
>> Yeah, I blame the alcohol.
>> Or the meth.
>> Well.
[LAUGH] >> Authorities did find
an open container of
alcohol in one of the vehicles.
>> Damn, what is happening to
the youth?
>> What is happening to the youth?
