here we go andy frasco world say i forgot the name of the podcast andy frasco's world saving podcast i'm andy frasco this is a special edition this is the end of the year we're gonna make this a tradition awards the end of the year. We're going to make this a tradition. The end of the year award ceremony. Let's fucking go. We're here. Much harder to write this year. It was because you weren't on tour with us. Well, first of all, I thought I had three more weeks than I did. Last night, he's like, we're going to do the award ceremony

tomorrow. Also, I wasn't invited on tour this year, so not as much material. I think I squelched out 16 good categories. Well, that's why we brought the show pony himself in here. Literally a pony. Literally a pony. Ryan Stasek is in the building today in Denver, Colorado.

Wow. Dude, I fucking feel like a million bucks. I really do. I thought this Denver altitude was going to fuck with me, and it did this morning. Yeah. But it's amazing what a water and a shower can do. He showed up at 11 PM hot and heavy to the straight to the house. I'm like, we're just going to have one beer. No problem. A

B turned into eight beers and a half bottle of tequila. Normal, normal three hours. Yeah. Three or four. It went to bed after I did and I played at Cervantes. I sat in and left immediately. We didn't want to go to the bar. We're like, yeah, let's just stay at the house. Sometimes staying at a house will make you stay up later than going to the bar. Is Denver like a really big market for you? Like, do you get recognized all the time out here? Me? Yeah. No, really? No, no, no, not at all. I love that. I met a lovely 92 year old British lad this AM as I was walking to get some coffee and a burrito. He was inspiring. I thought he was kind of

like an angel. He's like, do you sing? I'm like, no, I do not. If anybody's heard me, they know I don't. He goes, I'm going to give you a little lecture. I was like, please. It's like, everyone can sing and carry a tune. I was inspired. I told him about my daughter

and I'm flying home to see her choir and he's like, keep her after it. Singing makes you feel lovely. It makes you feel beautiful. And I was like, fucking A, I'm going to crush today.

And that's why we brought Ryan Stacey. He is going to start the show with a little acapella. Oh shit. What if you were imagining him? From the musical Oliver. Yeah. Please have another, sir.

Yeah. More? You want more? No, I think that's great. What if he was a mirage, though, and you were imagining him and it's your self-conscious trying to tell you to sing more? Always mushrooms with you guys. I didn't say anything about mushrooms. Maybe you're just schizophrenic or something.

I don't know. How was the year for you? This is a year in the life of a jam band musician. Yeah. How was it this year? It's interesting because I feel like for everyone, this is the year in the life of a jam band musician. Yeah. How was it this year? It's interesting because I feel like this is, you know, for everyone, this is the year for musicians where you kind of get back to normal a little bit with touring.

So I'll do long story short. I think I overshot the balance of being unemployed and stuck at home for two years and then being like, hey, man, now we can book gigs. I feel like I was basically gone from my family from May until October. And that's bad, right? That's bad. I was like, fuck.

I have a wife, I have kids, and I was gone every week. How many times did you almost get divorced? No divorce. You're not on the jam band. Not on the jam band. I'm starting on the jam band. Not at the jam band divorce. Let's go. Let's go.

You're not on the... I'm starting divorce watch for all our musician friends. We're starting divorce. Yeah. So you're only on like threat level yellow. Yeah.

No threat level yellow. That's the lowest. I'll tell you what, if I stayed on tour for every weekend of the year, yeah, I might have been in the red. Yeah. At least orange.

But it's important to find that balance. And I think that's what 2022 was getting back into balance and figuring out, you know, I'm 40 fucking six. I got to listen to my body yeah figure out what works you know and the problem is you started like a hundred bands during the quarantine

99 99 i'm not triple digits yeah dude and they're all good death kings yeah fire they're all like actually good and so they get booked that's really nice of you to say, Nick. Yeah, well, you know me. I'm very honest. Yeah, I like to have each musical outlet. You know, I want to get my anger out. I want to get my sexuality out. And I want to get my unorganized chaos. Yeah, Stacy, you got to tell Gerlach that Trans Am story

with Magner. I'm already in just based on the Magner and Trans Am. Just think about Ryan Stasek story with Magner. It's so fucking funny. I'm already in just based on the Magner and Trans Am. Just think about Ryan Stasek and Aaron Magner in a Trans Am driving through Charleston. First of all, the height difference is already funny. It was supposed to happen. It's like Robin and Batman. You know, my car sits outside

and it got a little cold. What kind of car do you have for the people? I have a 79 Trans Am. And it's like in pristine condition, right? Well, for Facebook. For Instagram, it is. For the lies. Yeah, exactly. It's pristine.

And in the morning, it was cold, and I didn't take the time to appreciate that the engine needs to warm up. Kind of didn't turn over, and I went to pick up Magner, and we're going to go have coffee. We're going to have a little tequila tasting. Aaron Levin. You should be allowed to drive drunk in a Trans Am just to want to throw that in there. Noted.

Yeah. And of course, I got to pick him up and he's staying at Al Schneer's for Mo. So I'm like in my head, I'm like, don't turn the car off. Just leave it running. I left in the street. I was like, I turned it off, went inside. Sure enough, we're supposed to leave and I have the flight to come see you and everything and the fucking car wouldn't start.

I tried jumping it for 10 minutes. I had the maintenance guys doing the lawn there working, helping me. Really? I had to call AAA. Were you embarrassed? I wasn't. I don't get embarrassed anymore. I don't give a fuck.

Yeah, I know. Let's go. What's embarrassing about that? It's 79. If it was like a brand new. I don't know. I'd be like. I'm like really excited. My homie and I, we're going to be fucking shirtless. Driving Trans Ams. Magna and I shirtless really excited. My homie and I were going to be fucking shirtless,

driving Trans Ams. Magna and I shirtless, man. Once again, the height difference. I was disappointed. I wasn't embarrassed. And then right when the fucking tow truck was supposed to come, I went out and I tried it again. Started right up.

I drove it home. It's old car. Maybe your car just didn't want a disco biscuit in it, it's old. It's old car. Aaron take warm it up. Your car just didn't want to get in it. Probably Aaron. That's why your car was like, Oh, there's a disco biscuit in town. Fuck. No, this is going to stop working. We're going to start a tequila company to get it to really, you are just like George Clooney, just like George. Oh my God. You're a guy that George billion dollars. Maybe you're the George Clooney of the jam band. George Clooney over here.

Hey, I'm not, you know, that's too much. That's too much. What? Hold on. George Clooney, that's too much. Hold on, this might be real. You might be the jam band with George Clooney. You're hot.

You're hot. Your wife's hot. You're ridiculous. You're in like a thousand projects. His wife's both hot and successful. Just like George Clooney's. Wife's hot and successful. Gosh, if you're, hey, if anybody's ever feeling down on themselves, just come sit in the middle of the couch

between girls and grass guys. This is the only time I'm nice to people is when advertisers are paying me. Really make you feel good about yourself. Lovely. Speaking of our advertisers, dial it in gummies. Do you eat gummies?

My kids do, but you mean the weed ones? Yeah. Don't give your kid these because I think I'm legally required to call CPS. My kids don't eat drug gummies, but they do love a good Sour Patch Kid or a gummy bear. This award ceremony is brought to you by Dialed in Gummies. This is the last episode unless they renew. They're going to renew or I'm going to murder them.

Cut that out. Cut that. Cut that. Cut that. Post. Fix it in post. Dialed in Gummies. Let's give them that hoorah it in post um dialed in gummies let's give them that

that hoorah just in case you started off this time dialed in gummies are the best fucking gummies on the planet yes um

they taste great the high is good because I like taking them before I go to bed or if I really want to fuck around I'd like taking them

when I wake up I only take one fourth of a gummy if I wake up yeah if I'm going to bed I'll take a half or three-fourths of a gummy. Really? And I feel good.

Message. I took one last night when we had our fucking 4 a.m. tequila party. Yeah. And I slept like a baby. I slept in until 11. I never do that. And I saw Stacy was already out in the neighborhood just having coffee with old people. Speaker 2 and they completely cured friends for life. My insomnia, I think they're completely

homogenized. Do you know what that means? Milk close. It means that the THC is spread evenly throughout the entire batch. It's not like fentanyl where it attacks to each other and it can be in one part and not the other. Yeah. Um, what else? They taste good there. Oh yeah. Each, uh, each brand or each gummy is from a specific strain or grower. So it's all one kind. So if you like a specific brand of weed, you get that. There's a QR code on the, uh, packaging so you can see what each one is. How do they not renew? I know. Isn't that a great, I'm going to take a look at the, I'm going to take a look at the, I'm going to take a look at the, I'm going to take a look

at the, I'm going to take a look at the, I'm going to take a look at the, I'm going to take a look at the, I'm going to take a look at the, I'm going to take a look at the, I'm going to take a look at the, I'm going to take a look at the, it feels good to be back in Denver. I even got my best friend Dolav in the building. Get over here. Dolav Cohen. It's in the middle of these men. Get in there.

It's the end of the year. I think this is the first year you finally been showing up to at least 10 shows this year. I showed up to a lot of shows this year. It's been tight. I was very lucky, you know, from summer camp. So these guys, Austin and Denver, can I ask a question? Yeah. How many frasco shows is too much? That's a good question. I think 10 is 10. The limit in one year. A lifetime is too much. Let's go.

Dola's been my number one fan since middle school. He's the best. Thinking of award simmers, what was the best Frasco show of the year? That's a good question. Tonight. I hope it's tonight. I mean, we'll see about tonight. But honestly, I think the

the unfreeze Red Rock show is pretty fucking epic, man. I mean, that was magical. It was comedy. That's an unfreeze show. That isn't we got to pick an Andy Frasco show. Shut the fuck up, Nick. Don't ruin my glory. That was a collaboration. And that was great.

Yeah. Yeah. You know, you were making fun of us. I love being made fun of. You know, that was a highlight. Some of your fans didn't get the joke. Who cares? Okay. You know, again. He got it.

I don't care. I loved it. But it was one of the biggest crowds I've seen you perform. You know, in Germany, I've seen you with like 7,000 people or something. But that was like, you know, pretty fucking big. And to watch you do Red Rocks for like 120 people. Yeah. And then like 2,000 people.

And then 7 plus thousand. Like it was pretty fucking special. And your parents, I was there with your dad and your mom. They're crying. Crying, dancing. Fucking love it. One last prediction. Because you are sports with Dolov.

He's a prediction guy. Who do you think is going to win this championship? Football, basketball, and handball. Handball. He's a big handball fan. Really into handball these days. Yeah, man. Can I bet on that on DraftKings?

He's the reason why I'm a gambler and I'm having fun with it. I got Andy a bookie. I do. I have a bookie, Dolov. Oh, yeah, yeah.

No. Lakers, Bills, both win the championships. championships that pay $47,000 or 30 bucks. I bet 200 bucks. And I think it's actually 37,000. Yeah, that's not happening. Lakers are trash. They're getting better. So suck my from the back. Okay. They are. They are championship better though. No, no. It's championship or bus. They just dropped one of their guys.

We're getting a trade. FYI. They just dropped Ryan, Matt Ryan. Yeah. The best shooter. He hit that game winner. That means something's happening. Something's cooking.

We're not going to win the championship. Celtics, dude. I want the Bucs. Bucs, Celtics, one of those, I think. They have some love. No.

So nominees on this one, I have three for best opener, but worst purchase the bullets. That's such a terrible God. I regret it. I regret

it. I look at it now and I'm disgusted. I mean, you bought it before that. I bought it. Yeah. But it was also to speak to maybe you need to be a little bad luck. Like I bought it and then the Kanye thing stuff with just a logo on it of the person you're buying it for. Stop. Stop paying people to advertise for them. I should take off this shirt. No, that's different. That's the fourth thing. But like remember Abercrombie would just, they would just say Abercrombie. That's dumb as shit. You're paying a company $60 to market them. You know, anyway. Wow. I made your thanks Nick. Now I feel really fucked. So do you about myself? Well, just get a new wallet. You're kind of rich. Okay. Okay. Best opener. Little stranger is a nominee. Obviously they've

opened his entire tour. I don't remember the name of two of them in Europe, Neil's band and the Netherlands. What were they called again? Rens and the meatballs. Yeah. Because I thought it was something else. Yeah. Okay. And then that one guy in Utrecht, remember that solo guy? Oh, he was cool. His name is van stays. Yeah. Or some belly. No, it wasn't. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Close enough. That was cool. He was cool. And he got the crowd hype. Any other openers you've had this year? I'd like, Oh, we can nominate you. I'm not sure. I'm not sure.

you on this category for the winter because you're the, they've been opening for you. So who do you think the best opener is? Oh my God. How am I? I got one of the contestants. Yeah. Yeah. But I don't care. Okay. I know he has a house and a Transam. It's fine. Oh, hold on. No disrespect, Stasek. I gotta go a little straight. That's what I was gonna say. I'm glad. I'm glad about that. My hometown. Or my new hometown.

I mean, they've done like 50 shows. And this tour has been unreal. They're fun guys. No one's paying me to say that. I didn't think about that. They're from your town. Stasek dressed up as me for the tour promo. Oh, yeah. That. Yeah. I didn't think about that. They're from your town. Stacey dressed up as me for the tour promo. Oh yeah, that's right. I didn't have a choice. That still cracks me up when you get out of the Trans Am it's that shitty Birkenstock. Well, if I had the, the Hobbit extra foot that you had, it would have been much better,

but it's a big boy. Wow. So shout out to the little stranger. They deserve that award this year. Let's do another, another show category. This is for the, from just the European tour, the best show of the European tour. Here are the four nominees. Okay. That was a great one. Despite my things, it was a very good crowd. Yeah. Paris surprisingly good Monday show. Remember that? Yeah. Like Mondays in Paris. Yeah. We never played Paris and it was pretty good. Bomberg, that one slapped. Always good. Dinbom?

Dinbom. And fourth, I picked Einseldine just because it was so beautiful there. Oh, Switzerland show? It was just gorgeous. It was pretty, but that show sucked. It was a great day. I don't know. Swiss people, they're not very engaging.

They're very stiff. They're neutral. It's a neutral country and neutral people. Great place to hide money. Great place to hide money. Who do you think? What do you think it was? I mean, Utrecht was nice

because it had four horns. The whole crew. That was the whole crew. But, you know, I can't... I gotta go with Bomberg, Germany. I was gonna pick Bomberg, too. And it was a first show. And it's, you know, sold out. It made us feel good. It got us to pick Bomberg too. And it was the first show. And it's sold out.

It made us feel good. It got us through all the shitty shows. And it was like right off the bat. We flew into Bomberg and they fucking loved us. You don't want to show up to Bomberg and have a super fatal tanker. That's just the morale. What's your philosophy on that? When you guys are routing a tour, do you always try to the

beginning of the tour have a banger or something? Andy, I just play bass. There's an app for all that stuff. But I will share one thing. Do you always like try to the beginning of the tour, like have a banger or like something that's going to... Andy, I just play bass. There's an app for all that stuff. But I will share one thing. I will share one thing. This is for tour managers. Don Richards, our old tour manager, love him to death. Shout out to Don. You guys have similar beards. One time we were playing at the Marat Theater in Indy. Yeah, you might have been there and uh it's probably it was a little light it wasn't a little light it wasn't live i want a little light and uh we were we were going on stage we put our hands in the camaraderie was great we're about to fucking slay a killer show

The promoter's pissed as they're about to walk out and try to play a fucking three-hour show. Can you imagine like some quarterback's coach being like, you know, you're not like that good at throwing the football. Hit it off.

These fans all hate you. Just get out there and just get it over with. Play a full 60 minutes. I hope we win. If you get hurt, that might be better for us. Hey, promote is pissed. We're not making that much money. We could wrap it up. Maybe just do one set. That's supposed to have been pre-live album. This is pre-live album. What'd you say to him?

We all looked at each other. We were like fucking deflated. And I was like, go team. Fuck. Do you guys kiss? Did me and Don kiss? What'd you say to him? We all looked at each other.

I wish I knew a word for any type of sail. It would have been a great joke. It was the day one of the Umphreys tour. It was Oregon, right? We were the first one.

We were with you guys the first night. And we're like all kind of testing each other out. There were a few females down there. I don't know who. I remember looking over and Mike was like, I've got the biggest balls. And Bobby comes and he's like, I've got the biggest balls and Bobby comes. He's like, I've got the biggest balls. We're like, holy shit. Are they about to whip their fucking nutsacks out?

Yes. It was such a big moment. It was like the rain delay, blah, blah, blah. And then you guys showed up and just had our backs. We ended up doing a live record called In the Rain because every live show that we played was involved with some sort of rain or storm. Ross made a good point that instead of just saying live,

being at a music festival, being outside, and being a fan, you go through a lot to wait and see your band and see all the crew and all the workers, everybody performs. A big shout out to everybody who's making the production and everything work. Let's fucking go.

Don't you feel like, God damn it, I've weathered the storm here. So big shout out to everybody who's making the production and everything work. Let's fucking go. Our guy's pumping everyone up today.

And I realized that we are Sideshow Bob. Murderous clown. I love how Nick doesn't even acknowledge that there's two Frascos in here. That's fine.

I mean, I've seen so many Frasco costumes at this point. You were quite popular. I'm numb to your branding. I took my daughter, my nine-year-old daughter, Amelia, some call her Punky, to widespread panic. And she was a league of their own. And I was, depending on the age group, I was either Andy Frasco

or Fletch. Let's go. I'll take both. By the way, the new Fletch is pretty good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it was 50-50? Yeah, like the old guys were like, Fletch! 6'5 with the and other people were like, you smoke mids! Yeah! Only bad thing is, she left the widespread

panic and she was addicted to Marlboro Reds. Hey, if you're gonna smoke, smoke Marlboro Reds. Go all the way, baby. Okay, most annoying thing in the music industry. You can add some. Here's my nominations. One, the rising cost of travel due to inflation. You know about that. I money with him uh lower ticket sales he loves money who does you

Like, why do we have to be there at 9 a.m.? What? Or 2 p.m.?

It can't even take a dump. Yeah, you should load in during the show. That's my take. And when they give you a Jack Link's beef jerky when we ask for no Jack Link's beef jerky. Or I got a good one for you. What about when you're supposed to get a bonus for selling out and the person gives you shit about it

and doesn't want to give it to you? Ooh, I could talk about it, but I can't say a word. Oh, you're not allowed to. I thought you were allowed to do this. No, it's called cyber bullying. I found out who told you that I'm everybody. Let me guess. Brian. Yeah. Yeah. He said, just keep, just shut the fuck up and you got the money, right? Yes. So whatever. All right. Cool. Okay. What about you? What do you, what's the most annoying thing about the music industry? Don't say Joel Cummins. Fuck, all right, let me check my notes. I kind of liked what he said about fucking dum-dums just going on the internet and just hating.

So here's the thing. I played hockey, Nick. I know you did. And I've been punched in the face. I'll beat your ass. Everybody's been punched in the face. No, I don't think so. People aren't acting like it.

Yeah. They certainly aren't acting like it. And everybody's fucking tough with their thumbs talking about how much they hate and hate and hate and hate and it just gets old you can tell the people online i've been punched in the face you know what's in the face i have it hurts guess what you guess when you run your mouth and you get smacked in the face sometimes you stop running your mouth yeah or you learn to run your mouth better. Perhaps. Clearly you've never been punched in the face.

I've been punched in the face hard and I've had to shut the fuck up. I've been punched in the face like three or four times. By who? One was one of my best friends. A couple bar fights. You've been in bar fights? Yeah, like you just get caught up in bar fights. But you didn't punch the guy who broke your saxophone in the face?

Well, he was far away from me by the time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It wasn't like... No, he was pissed and walked off the walked out that's worthy of a punch in the face well i had to make sure it worked would you punch that guy in the face if he broke your base yeah who did he where was oh black crows this guy jumped on stage and one of the brothers oh yes we would have known chris robinson has anger We had like a 6'5 tank top big dude rush the stage at a festival this summer. He got over like there was no security. And you don't know the intentions. We have hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of gear and shit everywhere and stuff.

Like once you come over that line, come up onto the stage. I'm sorry, but it's like fair game. Like it's you or us or we don't know what to do. So this dude came up and then you could see in his eyes he was fucked up. Right. But I didn't know. I didn't know if he was going to go after like Bayless, if he was going to come at me, if he was going to go. So Robbie came over and grabbed him and I tried to push his head down.

I didn't try to kick him in the head, but I tried to like push him down. Right, right, right. He's a big dude. Yeah. And then Robbie just gave him a cold like a slapping contest. You know those new things they're doing now? Like straight to the head. That's smart. a cold, like a slapping contest, you know those new things they're doing now? Like straight to the head.

That's smart. And then finally, security came over and grabbed them and pulled them off. And we're just like, what the fuck happened to them? However, professionals never lost a beat. Great bridge. That's got to go. You know what I'm thinking about? You look so hot as me.

Oh my God. But you're just like a hotter version. You've got a fire going on downstairs. You guys have a similar skin tone. We do have similar... If I was like hot, I wish I was that hot. I don't know even how to respond to that.

Okay. I was winning this thing. Okay. I think we all hate the cowardly trolls. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, the winner. We got to do the winner.

Jealous jam band. Yeah, you're right. For sure. Stop it. Goose doesn't suck. You're an idiot. stop it goose doesn't suck you're an idiot you aren't good at anything he's not old get a life get offline go for a walk get a hobby you know i'm a mountain why are people yeah they're just shitting on everybody it's okay if you make a legitimate criticism that's fine but this these people are you don't have to like everything i fucking hate a lot of shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Or at least make it a legit criticism at least. People just say like, the guy from Goose isn't good at guitar. Yes, he is. 7,000 people paid money to see him do it. I think what people should do is they should go have a beer at a bar or go have coffee at a coffee shop and talk to each other

and then discuss what they like and don't like. Don't go on the fucking internet and just spread hate. Because people are way more brave online. Fucking stupid. Troll. You can make fun of me. I can troll. Troll, asshole, troll. Okay, here's my next category.

I make fun of you all the time. How many more categories do we have? I don't know, five. Cool. What a perfect time. What a great podcast. This is a great podcast. You're welcome. I'm such a good... We're going to do best country. Oh,

here's the nominees. Netherlands, Switzerland, the United States, Iceland, France. Have you, you toured Iceland and you toured Netherlands, right? You did that thing. The dam at the Amsterdam bunch. You'll notice Germany's not on the list. I enjoy Germany when I'm free to play Germany. It was crazy. You played Germany. Yeah. Well, Frankfurt, I believe was a path. Yeah. Sold out. Tiny club, but you know, played Y Y Z for Yeah. Frankfurt, I believe. Was it packed? Yeah. Sold out. Sick. Tiny club. I played YYZ. Wow. For the dudes and beards with warm beer.

They were digging it. I've never been to Iceland. You guys do that every year. No, we've done it once. Oh, that's it? That was the first one, yeah. It's like a new thing. It's like a new thing that's just gonna... People just started doing it. Are you doing it this year? I'll put a word in for you. We'll get you over there. I would like it. It's lovely a new thing. It's just going to... People just started doing it. Are you doing it this year? I'll put a word in for you. We'll get you over there.

I would like it. It's lovely. Iceland rules. Yeah, he recorded his record there. Our record, not mine. Yeah. Heard about that studio. So I think we're going to pick the best country.

Let's move through these couple. All right. I'm picking Iceland. Really? Zero crime. Socialized medicine. Everyone's good looking. It seems so fucking boring, Iceland. It's Zero crime. Socialized medicine. Everyone's good looking. It seems so fucking boring, Iceland.

It's not boring. Well, this is for visiting. You know what I mean? You don't have to live there. It was expensive to drink alcohol. I'm an alcoholic. I don't know. I think so, but...

You would do fine. Yeah? You'd be fine. Okay. People buy you beers. It's like LA. Look at this fro. Everyone's good looking.

That's what's the most important thing. This fro doesn't pay for drinks. You don't have to see any ugly people. That's Australia. No ugly people in Australia. He sat out to the drinks. You don't have to see any ugly people. That's Australia. No ugly people in Australia. He's out of the Netherlands. That was my second choice. Are these men and women like 6'8"?

Do you have to climb up them like an Amazonian? Some of them. No, it's normal. I like Amsterdam. I'm voting Amsterdam. That's fine. They're in my second place, but that's a city. Netherlands is the shit.

Amsterdam's technically a city, not a country. Okay, worst country. The United States. Russia, Germany, and the Netherlands only because of that guy. Ready? You're still angry about the saxophone. You would think I'd pick Germany because of Andy's thing, but I'm going to go with Russia because they're in a war starting a world war right now. I like that. I like that. Okay. I respect that. Next category. Back to music. Best Umphrey side project. Okay.

Ready? Oh, my fucking God. Number one. What do you think is the worst Umphrey side project? We're not going to, that's not a category, but nope. Okay. Cosby sweater featuring Joel Cummins. Okay.

Doom Flamingo is my nomination for best. That Bayless thing with Jen Hartswick. What is that called? Heartless Bastards. Yeah, Heartless Bastards. That's got to be good. Or Heartless. It's just Heartless.

Playing tonight. Same time as us. Chris's Fusion thing. Stay Six merch. That's a good side project. You know what I'm voting for? Finger hustle, baby. Okay. What about basic too?

Hustle fingers. Nah, they're not nominated. They didn't make the list. They already are. Stacey's already on here twice. Yeah, and that's more of a stand-up comedy bit than an action.

I'm sure it's hilarious, you and Brendan. You're on fire. And the winner for best... Hold on, what about Death Kings? Fuck you, man. I haven't seen it. Also, they're in between drummers.

Okay, ready? Best side project goes to Doom Flamingo. I just think it's the most solid band. It has the most legs. It's most professional. Are you going to do a little side shout out for the Basic Stasic Hustle for the merch? No, that's good. That's what the most legs. It's most professional. Are you going to do a little side shout out for the basic Stasic hustle for the merch?

No. No, that's good. That's what the nomination is. No free hats. Nominations are shout outs. That's literally what they are. You get a bottle of ranch. You don't get any,

kiss a catering and shit. We're a little stranger in your entire band. That was a good one. When everyone kissed each other at once, that was a good one. Andy and everyone. And me and nobody. Those are the only three? Those are four. Andy and Floyd. I need to add two more that just happened last night. Bo and Andy.

Yeah. That was a good one. I respect that one because Bo was like, you kiss everybody and you haven't kissed me. Oh, he was hurt. Were you drunk? He was hurt. He was a little drunk. But it was a good one. He kind of opened opened his mouth a little bit. Oh, Bo is getting really after this. And then Jason, just after we had a great

You have not kissed him. I'm not letting him kiss me. It's a power. Two other ones. Two other ones. The night is young. When I walked up on stage and tried to kiss Bayless and he kind of bailed away. That's not best kiss. That's attempted kiss. That might be assault, actually.

And the other one. There is another one. Stasek and I, we've never pulled away. No way. I'm going to put Stasek on there for the Fort Lauderdale show. We have 19 kiss nominations. You pick clearly. Why are there so many more nominations for dudes kissing other dudes in a non-sexual way than any other thing? Go name them again.

You and Floyd little stranger in your band, me and nobody, Andy and everybody, you and Bo, you and Jason, you and Stasek and you attempted to kiss bayless pick okay i would have to say when little stranger and the whole band was kissing everybody that was a pretty good one oh my god don't get me wrong last night it was romantic and it was powerful and it was strong he's like it was like i really felt in his eyes he wanted to kiss so i must have gone to two more categories must have gone to bed. Two more categories. You did go to bed there. Two more categories. The most annoying thing about Europe.

The most annoying thing about Europe. Pay toilets, number one. Bullshit. They are cleaner, though. I'll give them that. For 47 cents. There's not homeless people all around. I'm being homeless.

Okay. People don't move out of your way on the fucking sidewalk. What the hell is with that, dude? They just walk right into you. Why don't you bittersweet like the bird of them? You know, I did know American flags or general sense of American patriotism and freedom. American flags are that fucking bullshit after what we did for them. My grandfather and his friends did not come storming up that beach for you guys to have your own flag everywhere stand by me yeah four and my final one if you

want to add any you can the french oh yeah the french the french french people before you get mad at me my grandma's from there i can say it well i'm french if you don't i can say it they just don't like how we approach talking to people. We'll be like, hey, what's up? We were talking English. They're like, fuck you. I speak French. Well, fuck you.

I speak English. Once again, 1941. Look it up. Read a book. All right. Do you have anything you want to add about Europe? Yes. I want to add.

Annoying things only. Only annoying things. I want to add. Oh, yeah. When the Germans put sparkling water right by your bed at the hotels when you're hung over and like really thirsty and you pull and you're assuming you're trying to drink spring water and it's bubble water oh i like bubble water so i'm gonna have to just lukewarm bubble water oh no that's disgusting you're right

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The lukewarm beer either.

I need me a cold beer. Wow. All right. This whole thing is just talking shit about you. No, I had some good ones in the beginning.

Remember I said you're going to get it back later. These colors don't run. I don't know what to pick, but I'm going to go. Hold on. No American flags or general sense of patriotism and freedom. You know what we did for you.

Okay. Let them be their own country. Don't they teach you at history and school there? Let them be their own country. No. Okay. Wow. Okay.

Final. This is a heartwarming category. Okay. First, before we do the heartwarming category, I just want to say, I love you, Stasek. Thanks for being here. Thanks for, I know, I know I love you, Stasek. Thanks for being here. I know you're opening tonight. I know this is like you're a rock star. This is for the opener.

I just want to say thank you for fucking flying out here for this. Thanks for flying seven people out here to open. I've always wanted a Doom Flamingo Frasco show. You know this. We never really had a club. Me too. We never had a club show together. And it sold out.

It will. You posted what I'm playing. It's going to be bonkers, man. That's why I feel like a million bucks. It was a nice little prep last night. Warm welcome. Half a bottle of tequila. No kisses for me.

Warm, cozy fire. Your wife's too beautiful to be kissing me and then having to... She has a taste in my mouth, on your mouth. You don't want that. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Okay.

Jesus Christ. What's the last category? We already did. I've already blew my show of the year part. You said it was heartwarming. Let's go. It is heartwarming. The final category is for Comeback Player of the Year. There's only one nomination and there's only one victor. Hit the thing.

Okay. Hold on. Before you do that, explain what the comeback character of the year. You'll know when I announced the winner. I don't want to blow the, you know, you know, to come back. He doesn't want to explain his jokes. It's not a joke. Actually, it's actually a hard one. I'm going to go with Chuck Garvey from Moe. He's playing with them. He's making a triumph. He had a stroke. Remember he had a stroke. He's playing with them. He's making a triumph. He had a stroke. Remember, he had a stroke. He's playing with them. He's coming back to play with them on New Year's. Let's fucking go. Chuck. Mad love for Chuck. And he's a great guy. I don't know him super well, but he's

been super nice to me. It was pretty heartwarming to see him be able to come back and play again. Amazing. Whatever capacity, but so I don't know. Have you talked to Chuck at all? Yeah. I was at Al's yesterday when I was trying to get Magner in my Trans Am, but it broke down. But I talked to Al and they're talking, they're rehearsing, they're playing.

Wait, Al lives in Charleston now? He has a home in Charleston. Oh, I didn't know that. Okay. Is that your boy when he's in town? Does he live in? He lives down the road from me. Yeah, six.

Do you guys always hang out? The Trans Am ride away. But no, I mean, he splits time between Buffalo and Charleston. And Chuck lives in like Cincinnati or something? Cincinnati, yeah. Anyway. I mean, I'd love for Chuck. Yeah, shout out to Chuck.

I just wanted to end on a positive note. What a great year. Give him some flowers. There's been some ups. There's been some downs and the person who deserves all the flowers is Chuck from Moe because that's a, that's hard to a stroke and go and figuring out what, what really happened and how to fight back and bounce back physically and mentally and emotionally. It's hard for everybody. So it's going to be probably a very emotional thing when he, I think they're playing philly on new year's eve yeah at the film or film or yep it's like that jimmy vitan vital vital award oh never give up you mean you mean jimmy vivino jimmy vivino but they are friends i can see why you crossed up that never give up never give up never give up wow what is what a year pretty good pretty good

I was pretty good. I didn't say it wasn't funny. So it was a fat joke. Do you like ranch? No, I hate ranch. All right. I don't like any kind of white cream.
