In 2019 I flew to Seattle to chill with my cousin and his family. He's in this hip little neighborhood called West Seattle, which has a ton of cool shops, bars, restaurants, and an old school theater called The Admiral. One night, we walked to The Admiral to catch Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. As the previews were stating, a guy walked in, waving his hands to get the attention of two women behind us. I tapped my cousin on the shoulder and said "dude, that's Eddie Vedder." My cuz looks up, and said "holy shit, that's Eddie Vedder." I Googled his wife, and sure enough, she was one of the gals behind us. As the movie ended, we went to the lobby and saw them. We were heading to the exit, and I was next in line behind him. He was holding the door open for me, and as I was going to attempt to speak with him, I noticed two elderly women behind me. I couldn't in good conscience not hold the door for them, so I thanked him for holding the door and told him I got it. He noticed that I was holding the door for the women, looked me dead in my face, and said "good for you, man." Getting recognition for holding the door from him was equally as cool as actually talking with him. He walked off with the women, and that was that. As a now 42 year old growing up in Houston, it was almost like seeing Bugs Bunny in real life. Was a cool moment.

No way, I’m loving this interview

A few years back I went to a local shop to get a new fin for my surfboard. Place was empty, just me and my wife. I'm sitting there waiting for the shop guy to get my fin and the door opens up and some guy with his kid walk in and start looking at the boards rack in front of me. I don't pay them much attention, just keeping my nose in my phone, browsing. Then I see out of my peripheral that the guy was moving closer to me, so I glance up... and it's Eddie. After my brain de-fizzles enough I work up enough gumption to say, "Eddie?" He looks over and says "Yeah?" I got up and walked up to him... he put his hand out and I shook it. We chatted for about 2-3 minutes. Feeling like I had taken enough of his time, I ask if he'd mind taking a selfie, He says "sure." I snap a couple and thank him and sat back down on the bench to wait for my fin. He walked out of the room a few moments later. I got back on my phone to text my wife about what just happened, and midtext I hear a little voice, "Excuse me..." I look up and it was his daughter. She was maybe 10 or 11 at the time.. and she goes "Dad said to give you this." and hands me one of his picks. I've been a life-long fan of his and the band... and was already beside myself getting to chat with him as long as I did. Him sending over the pick was such a thoughtful and genuinely cool gesture. They say don't meet your heroes... but sometimes, it works out pretty great when you do.

Well that put a little tear in my eye. Well told. I don't know how he does it but it seems like these are the stories everybody tells of his kindness and generosity.

Much gratitude to Vedder and Ament for providing time and for their openness. Mr. Simmons, thank you as well. I'm 56, been to every PJ tour since 1995, and thoroughly enjoyed the open conversation. This is one of the first times that I've seen someone address the authenticity vide which was a necessity in the 1990's. Also, I do miss the pre-social media days. If a person wanted to insult, disparage, or criticize another, it was done face-to-face, or vocally. Consideration for fellow human beings is lost in today's world because of Social Media.

I think Eddie prefers responding to more direct questioning. I don’t think he just wants to be led into reminiscing about the ‘good ol’ days’.

My girlfriend took a pic of us.......and then he said , i'll see you inside. It was such an intimate cool show.

Go watch the one with Zane Lowe it’s 10x better than this one. This one is kinda hard to watch it honestly

Thoughts: 1. Yield is my longtime favorite PJ album. Nice to hear the props from Jeff 2. Sorry to hear their Super Bowl answer but get it. I’d had a fantasy of a PJ Foo Fighters joint show 3. Fascinating to hear them talk about Taylor Swift, and her rarefied position. Especially from their perspective having been massive at one time. 4. Love the sports discussion. Real fans. 5. They’re both charming and thoroughly enjoyed this

The interviewer seems obsessed with the 90’s, he keps repeating stuff like ”it’s been more than 30 years now”, or says “now that you’re older” it seems kind of disrespectful. It’s like the only thing that defines them is this huge success they had in the beginning? Like, why not ask a question about all they’ve done between 98-2020? He asks about each album but STOPS at yield (1998) because he feels the need to explain to Eddie and Jeff that all bands peaks after six years. Dude, the band has released more albums after yield, than before it. He did the same thing in the last interview too. I would be so annoyed. PJ are so restrictive with interviews, why did they pick this guy? Is it because he knows a lot about sports? I don’t get it…

I loved that he called it a ghetto blaster…without censoring himself. Vedder made me laugh a few times. 👍🏼

Love hearing Eddie Vedder doing these interviews.But what i'd have loved even more is hearing young eddie doing in depth interviews like this back in the day when they started out.

Great, great interview!

Can't believe that Eddie forgot about the "Drop acid" t shirt interview on MTV in 1992-1993. He and Stone were interviewed and he made a big show of Ten not being on vinyl and said that the liner notes unfolded is LP sized.

Love the lives!

Soooo cool, love the HQ

Simmons could have done a lot more with an hour and a half with Pearl Jam. Everyone has a different style, but his nonchalant style cuts them off at many points and he starts bantering over them.

Excellent chuckle you gave me!

Eddie doesnt seem to ever understand Bill’s questions. I think its all of Bills zeitgeisty quips and generalizations.

Hard to understand when the interviewer is asking about the ‘conceit’ of the album when he actually means concept.

​@@al-jk2ig I was wondering about that because Ed seems well read.

@@al-jk2ig‘conceit’ means “an expression of writing or speech”. He meant conceit and I was embarrassed that Eddie didn’t know the word.

Yield has always been my fav too.

Yes! Why is he so surprised by that?

It's a great album

Interviewer; “Hey Ed, You looks a little puffy compared to 91’. What says you?.

Thanks

But first, our friends from Pearl Jam...Best ever podcast intro

Those Mookie Wilson next to Bill Buckner shirts are very cool, even as a Red Sox fan, thankfully 38 years and 4 championships later.

Listening to Eddie comfirms for me that you don't have to agree with someone's politics to admire them. I agree with some of his views, but far from all. That doesn't mean I don't respect the man. I remember a time when folks could be on different sides of the political spectrum and still have respect for eachother. Still be friends.. Our Politics shouldn't define us, or devide us as deeply as they do today. We need to think deeper than that, because ultimatly as humans we ARE more than that. There's much more to us than our political leanings. Try asking someone you know who leans in a different politcal direction, how they're doing on a personal level. We all have more in common then we're condontioned to believe. I guess I'm just exhausted by all of the division and wish things were not like this. Maybe we're all too condtioned. Too bought in, to even attempt to find common ground in all the madness. All I can say for sure is, none of this politcal shit is good for mental health, and its imortant to not let it consume us completely. But perhaps its too late. I hope not.

The middle 2010s seems the closest Pearl Jam came from ending, w/out a doubt. It looked over, then some real stuff happened. So glad it's not over.

Eddie, pleeease tell us what b-side of Taylor S you like? Would so much like to know. How could the interviewer not ask??

14:50 The moment was January 2nd, 1992 at the Salem Armory. Pearl Jam, Nirvana, and RHCP!

DOES JEFF HAVE A TATTOOS? LEFT FOREARM? EDDIE'S LAUGHED THE SAME AS HIS YOUNGER YEARS. I LOVE EDDIE VEDDER ❤️ ♥️ Ì LOVE JEFF AMENT TOO!! SUCH AWESOME CHEMISTRY!!

The only grunge band left. True rock and roll survivors

Awesome very funny 👍👍

I’m just going to make it clear that was the clash album. Like tribute. Avocado. But there was the Led Zeppelin reference that Jeff made. In an article way back then.

Eddie, please, I need to know what T-Swift B Side you're talking about.

I don't know, both Ed and Jeff have their arms folded alot of the time. I'm not sure they were vibing this interview

Bill should have came out with an open ended kinda questions, instead of throwing 'facts' that he read from his ipad at Ed & Jeff. It's their life stories, they're the ones who knows better than anyone else on this planet. Just sayin.

Was about to echo that Howard does the same thing. Gets his research and sticks to his script. It's frustrating.

Ed - you have done Howard and now bills show. Great interviews thanks. You guys should do hot ones. And would that complete the cycle?

Hell Yeah, great interview!

Eddie looked pretty uncomfortable during much of this interview. I thought he was going to cut it short at some points. I think Bill meant concept of the album not conceit.

Bill’s interview style is always fun to watch even when it goes off the rails.

Ed was not impressed 😂

It was Ben Stiller, not Affleck, in Reality Bites.
