Have you looked at the White House and POTUS's Instagram? Yes, it's insane. It's, they're making memes. Yeah, they're like Denver Doses or whatever. It's like Denver Doses. The Unz or whatever, yeah. Yeah, it's like the Unz. White House is turning into a Biscuits fan.

It's become an idiot. That is so fucking funny, dude. That is it. The White House. Donald Trump, it would definitely be a disco biscuits fan if he was a Jam Band fan. Okay, let's think about this. Like really, Julie, think about that. Okay, let me do this.

I just thought of this. He went to Penn. They went to the same high school as them. Warton School of Business. He's really successful. Sneaky successful. He doesn't seem like he'd be successful, but he is. Like Brownie and Barber?

Yeah, Barber has his own... He's smarter than you think he is. He's a troll. They loved a troll. And he has terrible taste in music. I'm just kidding. Oh, my God. Is Donald Trump a disco biscuits fan?

And we're back. Brasco's world-saving podcast. Live, live finally, in back in my living room. Man, on Riverside with no guests. What a fucking run that was.

Speaking of Let It Run. Three shows in four weeks with two weeks of writing. Two weeks of writing, six shows, eight states. Eight states. Six shows in eight states? Because I did two writing sessions. six shows in eight states now that's a crazy that's a crazy fucking tour right there that is

This is where I make all my money. So I'm, like, fucking moving. And I'm trying to make a new record.

And I've been asked to write songs for people now. So I'm, like, fucking triple dipping. And I miss my buddy Nick. How are we doing? Good. I haven't talked to you in a while, I feel like. I know. I was leaving you alone.

When people are writing, I don't like to bother them. Yeah, I hear that, but I still miss you. Yeah, you can just text me first if you want to talk to me when you're writing. I just don't like to bother people when they're in a creative process. Oh, word. It meets you halfway. I'm not waiting for you to call. me i gotta call you or text i prefer text actually i should do that yeah you can shoot me a text

whenever i'm always down to chat i just when people are being creative i don't like to interrupt yeah that's something people forget like everyone's like that's why i don't understand the fucking coming coming like coming you don't know lately i don't and i'll tell you that story i'll tell you that story that's an end of the episode um jesus christ it's like mashed potatoes right now do okay Anyway, give back to the thing I'm slipping I don't understand when I

They should close the green room Before shows Some people do that Yeah but the people who don't It's silly It's like you're You should be focused on the set Yeah like a lot of bands

Will be like They'll give their tour manager The 20 minutes for the show And they'll kick everyone out But like you only need 20 minutes A tune up like I would say like Prepare Or whatever I mean

Yeah But no whatever 20 minutes is that's it Everybody has a I need to about 15. I need like an hour. Yeah.

I need like no one talk to me at all, even my band. Everyone's different though, you know? Yeah. That is true. You do like to really lock in.

Yeah, I mean, I guess it's better if you don't ever have anyone in the green room before the show. I mean, I think so. Honestly, like after the show, even, it's pretty annoying. I've been not liking that either.

Wow, I'm becoming a grout. No, when you're playing bigger venues, it's kind of cool to have like a band green room and then like a hangout green room. Yeah. That's what you should start doing. you're probably playing big enough places for that now yeah we are i mean i don't know it's just personal space but also there's a lot of guys named tanner and brock yeah it's never show up at the

after show never a bunch of cool chicks that have like good stuff to talk about it's just dudes dudes trying to give us cocaine yeah mm-hmm yeah try and roll hard i've i've been taking those guys off the guest list really yeah what do you mean how does that work you just tell them like i see like if I see some dudes name like Brock or Tanner or Zed I'll just like sidebar

bow and be like hey take these guys off well what happens when they get there and they're not in the list anymore no they're on the show but they're not getting AA oh but they're getting the show for free yeah that's cool

but like you're not getting AA they're on the list but they're not in the cool cool list that's like my biggest lately that's been my biggest pet pee who's like right when I get off stage there's fucking four dudes right away like just like ready to like give us a bag yeah it's right away too right away

it's like you guys can just do it you don't have to do it like let can you just like like like can you just like like hide it you can do it by yourself we don't have to share you can just be back here you know or they just or like like before like before we're even off stage because i get off stage first yeah right they're already in there doing blow of course they've been back there for they've been back there for two hours they even watch the show they didn't watch the show They didn't even watch the show. Yeah, they don't even know what your band's called. Fucking insane, dude.

They think you're in Snoop Dog's band. Speaking of that, shout out to Zach Brown and Snoop Dog for releasing Chris Gelbuda and I's song. Hell yeah. It's fucking surreal, dude. It's a frasco song, so it's always a very vague term. They're hard to remember. Songtiles are hard to remember.

They're never like, they're not very specific, the hard way. But it's crazy. It felt real. it felt real when they played it live yesterday and Snoop dogs in the room you know oh you were there with Snoop Dog no but Galbuta was

I wanted to fly out but I had to do all these podcasts you got to meet Snoop that's how dedicated I am to the fucking podcast hell yeah Nick just wanted to let you know that okay I'm glad you dedicated to your job that's named after you

I don't want to meet Snoop Dog they say never meet you're here I met him once. We opened for him 10 years ago. Yeah? He's so famous. Yeah, he's like one of the most famous people on Earth, actually. It was the coolest thing.

He was with Corrupt. Corrupt hangs out with him all the time. I love Corrupt, actually. He's one that wraps real fast and high, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's got one of these, Snoop Dog has this woman who just, like, curates all the weeds. So everyone's always, like, backstage trying to, like, have Snoop Dog promote their weed. Yeah, of course.

So she's the one like, hey, this guy's from this. this place and this guy's from this place blah blah so he's just always hustling dude this guy is such from what happened in the past allegedly well i mean he's innocent he got found innocent in a court of law to what he is now is amazing murder was the case that they gave him from being being not guilty allegedly no he's not guilty in a court of law i'm not allegedly he's not allegedly he's not allegedly he got found not guilty okay he's good he didn't do it okay so that's I'm trying to figure out the word allegedly. What is it?

Allegedly is like before they get found of anything. You can't say he's guilty of something if they haven't had their trial yet. So yeah, so he was not guilty. He was allegedly killed someone, but then they got found and not guilty. So like getting through that trauma. Yeah. Fucking. 17, man, that happened.

Yeah. And then writing bangers all the time. And then keeping his name relevant through his 50s until he met up. He's like 60. No way. I don't think he is because I think he's like 52. I got to Google that He got famous so young, dude

No, I think he's 60 I'm gonna guess he's 53 He's 53 years old Trivia What the thought Because he blew up and like Nick Nicholas fucking girl up

Because I remember when he blew up And it was like 93 and he was like 92 and he was like 19 then Damn he's 60 years older than Sean That's not that old Dude for how long he's in Like he's like It's pretty crazy

actually. And then he became the mayor of America. He was almost a child star like he was that young. He was just on the cusp of that, but he was just a little too old. It's just surreal that Snoop Dog is singing our song, my song that with Galbuta. It's surreal how young he is

and how much more time he has left to be famous. I know, I thought he was so much older. He could be present. But think about, like he did cookbooks with fucking Martha Stewart. So going back to the show. So we opened for him. It was a slightly stupid and Snoop Dog

in the Coachella Grounds. It was like some wine festival. and I was so nervous I was like wait I waited in line after like the it was so LA you guys weren't that good yet probably yet no we were horrible yeah we were just like a fun show

you were what you were yeah but we I waited in line all the weed people once all they gone he was about to leave I'm like Snoop we open for you can we just take a picture with you he's like where's the whole band at yeah he's nice like that yeah

and the band we basically whistled at them and literally 11 people get out of this van they're like how many motherfuckers are in this band then he said to me he's like you n words ain't making no motherfucking money i was like that's the coolest shit ever there's no fucking higher on earth than a black person called you then oh my god and then full circle um this honky is uh riding snoop dog a country song it's yeah exactly it's a zach brown song full fucking circle have you I have at Marcus King's wedding I heard he's cool dude actually

Marcus King sat me down with I sat next to Chris Robinson at the wedding And then uh Oh yeah He was a trip talking to me about He has a bad reputation But is it But he put all the jam people in the table

Like lettuce Really? And we were deep in the back You know Then it was like Zach Brown Jamie Johnson All these fucking country guys You're at the sea market table

I was in the sea market But I was surprised I put Chris Robinson in that area. Yeah. And he's kind of jam band adjacent. Yeah. And he knows, I think Marcus and Bradley were like,

yo, this guy eats a shit ton of mushrooms. Frasca eats a shit ton of mushrooms. Oh, he does? Chris Robinson does. Oh, my God. We are eating mushrooms and talking about the universe. He's, he was, I thought he was going to be a dick. I think he gets a bad rap.

That's what I was going to say. My girlfriend worked for him last year and said he was like super nice to everybody. The coolest. But, like, he, it's the same thing with the Oasis shit. He joined a band with his brother. and they fucking used to beat this shit out of each. I do think Oasis is actually two dickheads, though. I don't think Chris Robertson.

I think he just, like, doesn't get along with his brother. Also, Chris Robinson's very, like, honest. Dude, I've been obsessed with these Oasis interviews. Have you listened to these? Dude. Was I saying about Chris Robinson? Oh, yeah. He's like, it's very blunt.

One thing people don't like, it's like he's kind of blunt in interviews and he'll say it was on his mind, but it's like, I kind of like that. It's, like, kind of nice to have a guy that's, It's like not just a pussy about everything. You know what I mean? Dude, I fucking, I'm obsessed with Oasis right now. Because everything's so fake now and weird when people like musicians do interviews.

It's all just so like fake. Here's my Oasis question for you. Do you think Oasis would be famous, this famous if they didn't quit? Ooh, no. I don't either. I think that they're like kind of like, it's kind of like Jimmy Hendricks. Like Jimmy Hendricks. Yeah.

I don't like Oasis that much, but. I'm obsessed with this guy right now. Is that Liam or Noel? That's Liam. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's the real dick. He's the real dick. I think he's the reason they don't get along. He said that the cold play thing's wild, too. We've got to talk about that. We will, but it's kind of interesting how, like, Oasis, like, maybe them quitting is like a real, was really good for them.

Yeah. They're not getting along. It's like the best thing for their career. Oh, yeah. They have two songs. Yeah, they have Wonderwall and, um, I guess that's one. That's wonderful. No, no, no, no, no. No, champagne supernova. Champagne Supernova. And then look back in anger.

Oh, yeah. Maybe they have four songs. They have fucking three. I mean, they're huge. Those songs are incredible. They're incredible songs. I know, but they're just so, I don't know. You just don't like the British.

Yeah. I mean, my mom's from there, but yeah. You're Scottish. I'm half Scottish, half British, half French, half German. Nobody really fucked up if they, the first show back, they played on Fourth of July. They already played. But the first show back, they play Fourth of July in America. They're the Gen X Beatles, I guess.

something. Then they said something about they hate the Beatles. They said they don't write real songs. That's the stupidest fucking thing I ever heard of my life. I think they just say shit just to piss people off, which I mean, Trump's doing it. I do it all the time. It's like half my day. But I got tickets. I'm going, uh, I'm going to New York, MetLife. MetLife. What's playing MetLife? Is that where the Giants and Jets play? Yeah, they always changed the name. The Meadowlands. Yeah, flying in on September 1st. So if anyone's in town, come on let's hang out let's go listen to some oasis September 1st at the Meadowlands

but I think it's that brother thing man when you're in a band with your brother man Are there any examples of it going really well? Oh the Bee Gees yeah that was a good doc That was a good brother band What's a what's another Hansen yeah they're still doing it

Yeah they're pretty cool they did the podcast Yeah they're cool Do you see the footage from the backstreet boys' life at the sphere It looks awesome It looks fucking awesome In sync rolling in their grade He was watching that. So much cool

than in sync, Beck'sbee Boys. So shout out to shout out to Snoop Dog and Zach Brown. Okay. But I want to call, I do want to call

Gell Buta because he was in the room in there and he has some, hold on, he's going to hate this. That's my take. Oasis will be

playing casinos right now if they didn't break up in 1996. A lot of people would be. Yeah. They're that big. I'm not blaming Oasis. I'm just saying,

what about Bob Marley? Oh man, that's an interesting one. I don't know. He was so. culturally impactful. I know. Hey, Chris, you're on the podcast.

Really? Yeah, yeah. Chris got beat in my songwry and partner, who was the main contributor later run with us. Hey, Chris, welcome the show. You're in the podcast with Nick. Just quickly. Hi, Chris.

Sorry, I'm in a hotel room in Hollywood with my girl and my baby crying in the background. It's so cool. Just talk about the first thing about Snoop, the Snoop Dog thing. Just give us a little brief what happened over there. Well, we were at a, Zach is in L.A. doing promo for his run at the sphere. So we decided to do a little pop-up show at a place called the Desert Five Spot Hotel.

And I guess they made like a social media post and gave out a couple hundred tickets to like influencers and all that. And yeah, and Snoop Dog came out and sang and let it run with us and we shot like a music video. What do you say about the song? Do you like it? He loves it. It's fucking awesome. Isn't this crazy? Are you in shock this happened to us?

I mean, it feels kind of like simulation theory a little bit. It does, dude. Because I remember, like, you know, it's like, we're walking into this thing, and then reality feels, did it feel like, oh, shit, it's real now when you saw him in the room with you playing? Well, it's actually funny because I wasn't, I was, I was side stage. when I saw Snoop come walking up, and he kind of gave me this nod, and he had, like, the five-inch blood in his hand.

I was like, hell, yes. So I just took my shot, and I walked up to him, and I'm like, can I hit that? And he's like, sure, man. He didn't really down to earth. He took a rip off that, and then... Did you tell him you wrote the song? Yeah, later on, we were, like,

hanging in the stairwell, waiting for him to clean out the thing. And Zach told him, he's like, this is my boy, Buddha. He wrote the song with his friends and all that. And Snoop was like, yeah, I love that shit now. I love that motherfucker. I'm so proud of us. He's a super nice guy. He's actually exactly the way he portrays himself.

He has an incredibly high approval rating. We looked up his age. He's only 53, dude. Yeah, dude. He's a young guy, I guess. Isn't it crazy? You know, after the sphere, you said, hey, we should write this song in Vegas with Widowmaker. And we're like, oh, I'm so hungover.

you came over and we fucking did it if we didn't do that look at us now what's even weirder is that I had to get online this morning and write music for a porno film over Zoom what are you serious how do I get it guys it's like work for hire shit I was doing because the money was too good

so I went from Snoop Dogg and a pet house bar in Hollywood you're writing porno instrumentals in my hotel How the fuck do I get a job running pornos? The life of Chris Galbuta I've living many lives when you going to Carpenteria going there now all right go have fun let me talk to amber for a second let me talk to amber for a second

no amber took the baby out of the hotel room so i could talk to you okay then give me two more minutes of your time um what zach brown's feeling about this song he loves the song i think some of his fans are a little polarized because it has so many fbbs and i know weed references and people are in the comments like since when our country and weed intertwined and i'm like have you ever heard country music or check out willie nelson and you fucking morons. Exactly. Well, you're in Zach Brown's band now, so enjoy all that.

No, I'm not in the band. I'm just helping out here and there. That's all it is. Well, I'm so proud of you, and I know you don't like to take compliments, but we're all really proud of you, and thanks for believing in me and giving me a shot to be in the room with those guys, so thank you. Hey, thanks for buying me those peanut calatas at the Sears in Vegas.

And thanks for the invite, motherfucker. Why couldn't I go? I think it's the only productive thing that's ever happened in the history of Las Vegas. That song. We still need to celebrate with Widow Maker in Vegas. Save me a day. But I don't want to go to Vegas.

I'd rather go to like Boulder or somewhere where we can be not degenerates. I'm not bringing Widow Maker to Boulder. It's not happening. That might go, that might go poorly. All right, buddy, enjoy your time off. I love you. I'm so proud of you. This is fucking awesome.

John bless. See you, Nick. Yeah, you can't say that you're white. Goodbye. All right. Bye. Yeah, you can. He can say it.

Chris Goh Butteut is the best. Yeah, I've written so many songs with him. One good one. And we got one good one out of it. It's all takes. I thought Try Not to Die I was going to blow up. We wrote it. Didn't work.

Why not? I mean, it didn't blow up, blow up. Also, the label didn't want to take that one to radio. They should have took that the radio. I agree. Yeah, that was the one I thought was the one. They put crazy things as the radio. I'm like, that's not love will make you do.

This is what I have about these fucking radio people. Yeah. They don't know what the fuck they're doing, to me honest. I kind of They don't know 110% agree with you on that And they're like Trying to keep their jobs alive

So they're like They're doing all these little $5,000 campaigns With all everyone They don't know what the fuck they're doing They don't They're not tastemakers No they're they used to be

They used to be not anymore They're just trying to survive Off their fucking $5,000 campaigns Yeah in the 70s it was like cool guys Who like knew a lot about music And they would go on Tell everybody what music to listen to And now it's just like nerds

You know Have a communications degree from you see Denver. It's crazy. Yeah, I don't know. I don't like it. No. It's also radio is kind of worthless now anyway, isn't it? I mean, that's where you make all the money. Still? Man, if this... Perustrial radio? So, like, they're giving me the lowdown on the money. But people don't listen to the radio anymore, though. Or do they more than I think they do?

It's still a big thing in country and... Oh, country, yeah. That's like, because they still sell CDs even. Yeah. Because I got a little piece of pie, you know, I got 20% of this tune. It's what I'm saying, but I didn't think that people really flipped on 97.3 FM anymore. When's the last time you did that in your car? If it hits the Sirius XM. Oh, that's good. They give you a really good rate for spend, too, don't they? $15 a play off of the smaller channels.

If you get on the big channel. Like the Rock Channel or whatever. It's $60 a play. Jesus Christ. How do they afford that? Subscription. I know, but it's still like... They have 200 million subscribers.

Damn, that's pretty sick. But that's not Terrestrial Radio. I'm talking about like FM radio You can there's still money in there Weirdly I don't know But you can see why I think there wouldn't be right 100% It's like

Who's the last But I guess country's a little different They're like 10 years behind Someone was telling me every 20 million Every 20 million Spotify streams Is $100,000 That makes sense Yeah it's like five

Yeah for every million You get like 5,000 bucks then 20 times 5 Yeah Still shitty 20 million You're only getting a hundred thousand bucks. Daniel Alks a monster.

Fuck that guy. Dude, what's the guy from Spotify? I got that own Spotify. What's the deal with him? He's a Swedish billionaire that's like a knows nothing. He's just a tech guy running a piece of shit. Now he's investing in like huge ass like military industrial companies. Right.

And he's like investing in like an AI defense. It's like fuck off, dude. You have $10 billion. Gardenista. Might have a great story about this. I went on a date. She kind of was looking at me funny because I was kept on asking for Jameson on the rocks at this really fancy restaurant so i saw gardinista these guys are my sponsors i thought it'd be

cool to like say hey i'll i'll grab gardenista on ice and i did and she liked me more so do you want to be a dirt bag fucking drink jameson but if you want to be sophisticated go to gardonista drink some on ice and tell them frasco sent you What's the deal with this Epstein stuff? It seems like everybody is guilty and they're all colluding to not have the list come out. I know. This is scary.

Tim Dillon just did an emergency podcast. Did you look? Well, I'll listen on Saturday. I didn't listen to the other one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're like, I got a dinner. I went out with a dinner. I'm not telling you who.

Yes, it's insane. It's, they're making memes. Yeah. They're like, uh, they're like, uh, Denver doses or whatever. It's like Denver doses or whatever, yeah. Yeah, it's like the aunts. Yeah, it's like the unts. The White House is turning into fucking a Biscuits fan.

It's become an idiot. That is so fucking funny, dude. That is it. The White House, that's the breakout. Dollar Trump, it would definitely be a disco biscuits fan if he was a Jam Band fan. Okay, let's think about this. Like really, Julie, think about it. Okay, let me do this.

I just thought of this. He went to Penn. Okay. Okay. They went to the same high school as them, Warton School of Business. he's really successful sneaky successful he doesn't seem like he'd be successful

but he is like brownie and barber has his own he's smarter than you think he is he's a troll they love to troll and he has terrible taste in music I'm just kidding his wife's too hot for him fucking ain't barber his wife is a babe

Donald Trump is she I don't think I've got it His wife is so beautiful Really Oh my gosh Is Donald Trump a disco biscuits fan? Yeah, what would Obama be? What jam band would Obama like? Aggie?

No, he's black. Yeah, true. He's got way too much sauce. Maybe Derek Trucks. I think So-Ly. Oh, Derek Trucks a good one. Or Tedesky Trucks band. He needs a little more than Derek.

Yeah, I like that. That's a good one. What about Reagan? Reagan is Grateful Dead. He's an old Republican. What about? Bill Clinton? Bill.

panic that's actually fucking great and then what about Biden Biden for sure goose oh yeah he does he's like Delaware Connecticut kind of like regular regular guy like uh yeah who's the fish turtlenecks fish um Bernie Sanders Bernie would love Vermont yeah duh he was never that's too easy he was never president though what about older presidents what about like Andrew Jackson He was like a piece of shit So I guess Don't say Don't fucking say it

Who can I piss off this week Gerald Ford Jeff He was Gerald Ford is definitely I was just going to say He's the pigeons playing ping pong Gerald Ford

A lot of sacks A lot of sacks A lot of sacks Oh, saxos. Let's see. You're kind of really performative, and you like to run around, get attention. Reagan? No.

Well, he wasn't an actor. You think Trump would like us? No. He would hate us. Maybe. Trump likes really dumb music, though. His favorite song is, Jesus, fuck. No, his favorite song is like YMTA by the village people.

It's what he plays. It's, he does this dance. He can't bleeding out here. We've got to find the Frasco fan, politician. Maybe not president. Maybe we've got to branch out. Yeah. what about like uh who do you think hillary clinton would like you think john daly would love our band

yeah probably he would fucking love her he likes drinking and smoking cigarettes yeah halfway there yeah i think Obama would like our band because he likes puff and sags Obama would like uh I think he's got a pretty open mind about music yeah he likes pop stuff uh huh I'm trying to think of who would be the politician what about jimmy carter that's panic all the way dude fucking panic for sure he's from georgia he's a man farmer yeah Biden i like the biting goose oh you know who did our band, George Bush, Jr. Oh, hell yeah, dude.

I'd take that. George Bush Jr. He gets a lot of shit. Yeah, well, he did, like, do a lot of stuff. I mean, yeah. But he's all just dumb as fuck. But the thing about the president is they're going to, you're going to, like, there's no good president.

The best president, like, kills a lot of people. Who's the best president of all time? I don't know. Lincoln? Probably. I mean, he helped in. I like FDR. FDR is good.

He got us out of that. He kicked ass. And he was. Probably. one of the George Washington early ones. Jefferson maybe were really good. They had a good. Which, or JFK? He was good, but he wasn't present

long enough to really tell, you know, because he got murdered. He loved pussy. But like when guys, oh yeah, when guys get murdered though, they're usually good people. The government really only murders good people. Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, Max, Fred Hampton, JFK. Speaking of all these rich people, I was in Antarctica

for a week. Oh, no. Speaking of Massachusetts rich people. Hanging out with billionaires, dude. There's got to be Kennedy's. out there in Nantucket. For sure. Or no, they're Chappaquittic,
