Dinner At Your House, featuring Mike Watt

Join us as we discuss chow, music, and more with our amazing special guest, Mike Watt. Recorded at his own pad in San Pedro, CA on December 23rd, 2014.
The best comments from Mike are during the meal.
True to Mike's style, this episode was produced Econo, with a minute (ie. small, miniscule) budget, crew, and equipment setup. Lo-fi lighting and sound didn't detract from our enjoyable and insightful meal and conversation with the one and only Mike Watt. As always, Sunana conjured up an amazing feast that we all relished.
Special thanks to Mike Watt, Howlin' Wuelf, and Paula Berger.
Fun Fact: When his phone rings, he picks it up and brusquely says "WATT"

He seems like most down to earth man you could ever hope to meet. And I do hope I meet him one day.

I met Watt in Seattle in 1990. Bought a tshirt from him, he was selling his own merch. Coolest dude ever. All kinds of fans were hounding him so I handed him a ten dollar bill and said, "ten dollars?" and he gave me a tshirt, we shook hands and I said, "you guys ripped". He was so kindly and cool he just said thank you.

[@Doodlebug1996]

Mike Watt needs to be on hot ones....he really does

[@vincenzollamas]

i just left a lot of comments on various hot ones episodes suggesting the same thing! spread the word!

[@jlfvrs]

I just realized Watt is very Zen. He's in the moment embracing life, eyes wide open. He mentioned the Zen Koan in an interview I watched recently and now I see it in him.

I have never seen an interviewee with bare feet. Mike is a different cat, no doubt. I remember my wife was having her hair done back in So Cal and the hair dresser had a little photo of Watt playing bass. My wife recognized it and said, "My husband thinks he is the best bass player in the world..." and the woman said, "He is!" Turned out it was Watt's sister. I went to maybe 20 fIREHOSE gigs back in the day, including the legendary 1987 show with X and Jerry Lee Lewis.

Classic Watt !!!!!! If you ever go see Mike play, that`s only half the show. If you want the whole experience, you MUST stop by the merch counter and meet Mike and get the Spiel. You never know what you`re gonna hear or learn !!! I always make sure I have something to sign and to ask or talk about.

[@TheMusicRoomWA]

I was almost going to see him front Flipper earlier this year! It would have been amazing but Mike got sick and had to cancel.

[@appalachianrk]

My son and I just saw Mike in MSSV a few weeks ago and hung out with him and Ed fROMOHIO Crawford in Pittsburgh Pa. Got pictures with both of them and took videos including encore where Ed joined MSSV for The Red and The Black by Blue Oyster Cult. Got some more things signed too. I ALWAYS enjoy a Mike Watt Night !!!@@TheMusicRoomWA

[@Stzit]

I've never seen anyone eat quite like Watt. He's a different breed of cat and that's cool as hell.

[@standarddeviation7963]

He'd be great on that show where they eat hot wings

[@TheMichaelseymour]

i eat like him- and get told off....he does it ....well..., its suddenly cool , its just not fair

[@Dr.Meth666]

@@TheMichaelseymour fucking hilarious

[@glendenig9962]

This is awesome all around! Mike Watt reminds me of the Peter Falk character Lt. Columbo. Cool guy!

[@FelixWheatfield]

Pizza Butt and Crapper Barrel and Booger Fling and CrapDonald's. LMAO! Gotta love Watt's subtle sense of humor.

[@gabrielgolden4336]

Which Minutemen album had "Middle Age Holding Pisses and Shits"?

[@buddhafx5973]

Of all those who died waaaayy too soon, the ones I miss the most are Cliff Burton and D Boon. Okay, Hendrix too!

[@camilelcoyne]

This interview is great! Thank you so much for posting it. I do wish I could go in and fix the auto generated subtitles/captions. The way Mike talks is so specific to him first and foremost, and then to SoCal, I'm concerned that folks who rely on the subtitles will miss out on his humor and great turns of phrases because the subtitles are wrong.

[@seanmiller9093]

Man, I love Watt. He just encompasses love and life. I had the privilege of meeting him and I continue to learn.

[@nomadben]

I love how grassroots this show is haha. It fits perfectly with Mike's style, as you said. Great vibes all around.

[@wroughtironmgtow9558]

Im gonna start calling food chow now

[@bensworld6128]

i love Mr. Watt. he is no bullshit. hes so humble and.. well normal haha

[@1skippysmooth]

He is right, my first visit to England I ended up eating vindaloo for lunch every day!

[@YTPartyTonight]

I can cook and I do it a lot. I cook, grill and bake all kinds of foods, including Indian. It started at it when I was a kid about 40 years ago. What she said about getting good at cooking, how she described it, is bang on.

[@AnodyneHipsterInfluencer]

Damn, that looks killer. Nothing like well made Indian food.

[@danielstoddart]

Mike Watt has always been about the music and eating.

[@buddhafx5973]

Grant Hart and Mike Watt?!? Amazing barefoot rythm section!

[@JNathanielBerke]

watching Watt really enjoy what he's eating makes me incredibly happy

[@vincenzollamas]

"That's the matar paneer." "Mmmm...mutrpur." :)

[@JohnSmith-ij6ms]

great video! watt is a legend and always good for an interesting conversation

[@hydrolaural]

I love Mike Watt so much...I've seen him at the Casbah, awesome!

[@ladymother5488]

Mike - Ill make you a heavenly one pot schmaaz any time you grace Charleston SC!!

[@justinkline1294]

Watt records with the THUNDERBROOM. Also seen one clips of him playing it live with Ed and George. Must be magical.

[@bongdonkey]

Mike Watt is a force of nature. Salute!

[@charliedavis1912]

Looks like an excellent meal!

[@Chuck-Bob]

Yeah yeah. That's the same thing with Italian food. I've been a cook/chef for 45 years. At the last place I had some control over the menu I made a deconstructed lasagna. I made a proper Italian red sauce (marinara). It has to cool slow for 3 - 4 hours, for all those flavors to marry and develop. When it was done, the waitstaff got to try it first. One server pulled me aside later and said, "Omg, that sauce! It tastes like my gramma's sauce, how'd you do that?". That's how, you have to spend some time to make that food properly.

[@alansmith8264]

Mike’s starving ! Feed that man!😀

[@CatLikeSleep]

legend!

[@Fender420]

[@raypolleck7996]

[@wa8d4g8i7]

looks delish

[@jacksonfritts2988]

Man Mike Watt sure was hungry

[@jeremyjenks]

bollywood Martha Stewart!

[@bongdonkey]

The chow looked bomb. I dig Indian food.

[@danpearce4547]

Why do u call it coriander as we do (british) rather than cilantro (italian name for the herb)?

[@crystalhall4853]

Cilantro is the leaf and coriander is the seed - she ground the seed into a powder.

[@elbus1969]

Mikeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[@cwinfrey7077]

Great bass player. Food critic and dietician not so much. I think chow is a navy term

[@Burritosuupreme]

It is a navy term. I think his dad was in the navy when there was still a base in Pedro.

[@bongdonkey]

That lady is Indian?

[@LilFrochi]

Yea, the good stuff comes from Spain that’s odd to me actually (must be true though)

[@soyborne.bornmadeandundone1342]

He is not a marlon blando. That's for sure!

[@brennersteph]

The big smaage

[@TheMusicRoomWA]

I hate curry but I love Mike Watt!

[@adderon]

Stay away from lame chow

[@kikeheebchinkjigaboo6631]

Too much SALT!!!!!!!!!
