00:00And we're live.Andy Frasco's world-saving podcast.It's been a while.Nick.Who's that song by?Sounds like Creed or something.It does, but I don't think it is.Hold on my computer.
00:15It's been a while.We're on location.How you doing, Nick?It's a band of Stained.They named it after the front of your boxers.I'm doing great.Oh, yeah.Oh, Jesus.
00:28Nick, I haven't talked to in a long time.I feel like I'm on like a sabbatical of something of the pocket.I feel like I just like to give you your space on the road.I know you're going nuts out there and everybody's.You got 900 dues.Oh, man.It's a heavy one this trip.You're like promise.
00:45When you, when one thing, it's like a domino effect, you know, like, uh, if one thing leaves,it's like this ripple effect, you know, like, because since me and Sean broke up,it feels likeit's a funny way to put itbut it's kind ofit's kind of rightthat it's a good wayto play it actually
01:06it's like the universetelling you that you needto have new change everywhereif you're going to haveif we're going to open upto this idea of changingthen you got to beacceptable to be changing
01:16in other places toochange can be goodyeah it's so muchit's so much weirder nowthe tour busused to beparty timenow it's cereal
01:26and fuckingNintendo switchedyeah I heard aboutthe cereal.Dude.My cancer.You went right to do that.I wasn't going to name names.
01:37He has like six different types of cereals.I'm like,damn.Are they healthy or is eating like cinnamon?Yeah, I'm like,no,it's like he goes back and forth between like the kashiand then like the fucking
01:49diabetes cereal.What's your favorite cereal?I don't know.I can't really eat anymore because I had like 100,000cavities.But I got into,I got into,You spend 300 bucks a month to get hydrated.
02:05You spend 300 bucks a month on IVs, but you're not going to the dentist.Bro, you sing.That's my wook in me.I can try to stay healthy, but my wook side still fucking gets the cavities.I've really been on my dentist shit the last three years.You ever ever feel just unmotivated?Yeah.From like 14 to 22.
02:29Sometimes when you work in so hard,You just don't want to work anymore.Yeah, but I think it's like a cycle.Oh, yeah.I know.I'm just going through that another cycle of that.And it happened.This is the problem of having too much time off.
02:43Yeah.I didn't really tour that much this year.So I'm kind of trying to get into the cycle of just like working again.Yeah, I know what you mean.Even though I have to work in, I've just been like not, I've been working on everything else.But I guess it's not true.I made a record.I made two albums.
03:01I'm just burnt out.It's probably a combination of both because, like,I mean, you are working,but touring and making an album are two completely different muscles.No, no.You know what I'm saying?I would argue making an album's a lot more fun in some ways.I think so.
03:18But there's way less instant gratification.Also, with albums, there's, like, sometimes no gratification.Oh, yeah.Some of these songs have been put down,it's just like crickets.I'm like, fuck.It's so hard right now.Like I've been saying,
03:31there's too many bands.Yeah, you're right.And also, like, no one's like, I don't know,the idea of people looking for new music is kind of,from an older, from an older band is, uh, it's harder, you know,because like, I'll play some stuff live and some new songs live,and it does all right.I mean, people are like, but they're hearing it for the first time.
03:55They're not like, it's not like they've been listening to it for a couple months.They don't know the word, they don't know the words yet.They didn't even know I put it out.Yeah.Oh, that's true.Yeah.There's just, there's just so much shit out there right now.I think people are fatigued from social media.
04:10I think people are just fatigued by life.Yeah.I think so, too.But that's why I like...Are you fatigued by life too?Is it just something in the water?No, you know what?I kind of had like a really good time last month.
04:24I told you about this, right?I worked at the door at Yacht Club for like five days.And it was kind of like...No, yeah.I didn't, okay, I didn't tell you about this.So Steve, they have that regular door guy, Steve, on the weekends, and he had to go on some family trip.And Anna hit me up.She's the manager at Yacht Club for people who don't know.
04:39And she's like, yo, we're kind of screwed.Do you want to come work the door for five days?And I was like, you know what?Yes.And it actually paid decent.And it was like, it was kind of nice.Not, I actually had this weird anxiety before I went in because I'm so used to whenever I have a gig or like trivia or I have to like prepare for three hours for whatever I'm doing that night.Yeah, same.
04:59It was, same.It was kind of nice.Yeah, exactly.It's the same thing.It was kind of nice, but it took me a couple days to get used to it to, like, have a gig where you're just going.And, like, you don't have to, it starts at four, and you don't start until four.Yeah.And it was, and it was kind of nice just, like, dumping out the cigarettes and taking the trash out, just being like a person for a day.
05:18And it was, yeah, you know, that's a, we're hot.It felt good.It felt good.You're just like, I don't want to say a regular person.I know, because that's, like, sounds pretentious.But, you know, you know.know what I mean, right?Like, uh, like, our jobs are, we work for normally two hours a day or three hours a day, you know.
05:36Or, or 20, or 24 hours a day.Yeah.Because you're like always kind of working.Routine.Yeah, there's no check in your email when you're working the door.There's no like, oh God, all my charts on my iPad.It's my iPad charged.Am I?
05:50Yeah.Is the drummer going to be on time?It's like, you know what I'm saying?Like, it was just nice to like, just be a human being for 10 hours.You, me think about you running.the door.Someone's like causing riffraff.Hey!
06:02Come in down in there!Oh, here's a good story.I had a classic Nickline.This couple was coming in the last night I worked.And she was like stumbling around and she obviously shouldn't come in.And I was like, hey, uh, do you think you should come in this bar right now?She goes, no.And her boyfriend goes, well, she's not good.
06:21Are you getting a phone call?Yeah, my man.Her boyfriend goes.Hey, hey, Mac.Let me call you back.Bye.All right.Thanks.
06:29So I go, you think you should come to this bar right now?She's too drunk to come in.And it was a couple.And her boyfriend goes, well, she's not going to drink anything.And I go, so you're going to come in there and be drunk and not spend any money?Get the hell out of here.Oh, my God.It's classic.
06:46Like, I just lawyered their ass.And so I was like, so you're going to be drunk and you're not going to buy anything?This is a place of business, bitch.You kind of have some, like, Jedi mind tricks to, like, be a bouncer.Because, like, you don't want to fight.No, and you can be mean.And you can't be, you can't punch.And you can't be mean, you know what's fun?
07:03It's fun seeing how old everybody is.Oh.I never thought about that.Everybody, everybody is three to four years older than you think they are in this town.Wow.It's the opposite in Indiana.And, of course, it's fucking dead for everyone's lost boys.Like everyone's partying for fucking.
07:21Also, prime, if you're in the mills, go to a yacht club from four to eight.It is prime milfowers in that bitch.I gotta start going there at 4 days.Some of the hottest 50-year-old women you've ever seen in your life.Just gorgeous women.Dude, that's so funny.They all got job.They're all driving like BMWs and like, and they're like looking for their second husband.
07:43And I'm like, damn.Maybe it's not so bad getting older as long as you just aren't poor.No, it's so crazy.I think people are aging better lately.They are.I mean, we just have better food than ever.It feels like when you're young.Oh, so you think they're younger, but they're actually older.
08:03Like, that means they're, like, looking better.No, that's what I'm saying.Yeah, it's the opposite of Indiana.Everybody in Indiana has, like, when I used, I did it a couple times at the mousetrap,and it's like, 10 years younger than you think they are,because they're all meth and they had four kids when they were 23.You know what I mean?People in Denver are just like a little more responsible.
08:20Denver, like, ketamine is the youth drug of,Auguste.Who's the guy at Servantes?Who's the guy looking for the fountain of youth, not Sorvantes?Fountain of YouthDamn, you, you clip,I can hear you laughing on your fucking laptop.Sorry, Pasta Leone.
08:40You know, he was looking for the Fountain All the Youth in Florida.That's how he discovered, like, America.Like, he just came to Denver and duncanamine and had a cocktail.Just got a Mess Cal soda.A Yacht Club, apparently, it'll fucking make you four years younger.Yeah, the Mest Kausau and the Cougar Happy Hour will make you, you,You'll make you even younger.But yeah, it was just cool to have like an hourly wage job for, I mean, I wouldn't want to do it for the rest of my life.
09:06I would, but like, you know, it gets a little monotonous.And I'll tell you the worst thing about it is your track.You know me.I like to pace around and wander.You know me, right?Oh, yeah.You can't do that.Even at parties, you know, I'm just like, I can't talk to one person more.
09:19The worst is those drunk guys.How many cigarettes did you smoke?Sitting there.I did pretty good.I only had like two or three a night.Because it gets kind of, because I'm not drinking.Oh yeah, you can't be, it's not a partyNo, I'm not party
09:32I'm watching everybody else partyBut the worst is like the right around 12It was funThe worst is right around 1230 is likeThe drunk guy that is kind of there by himselfAnd he just wants to talk to the bouncer for an hourYeahOne guy was like, yeah
09:46There's always that one, yeahHey manThis one guy was likeI was like yeah you're gonna get in there and have a drinkHe's like you don't want to talk to me huh?I was like not reallyOh, blunt neck.Oh, yeah.
10:00So besides that, I just been expanding trivia.Oh, yeah, you're franchising trivia, too, huh?I'm a wingman now.That's good. You're a company man.Oh, shit. So what's new with you? Tell me about tour.Hey, guys, we have breaking news that Joe just texted the group chat that Jake is leavingHumphreys. Oh, I saw that. Oh.They just announced it like 10 minutes ago. Thoughts?
10:28Jake is leaving Humphreys.Oh, that's probably for the better. Probably for the better.I think it's for the better. I mean, you know, I've known those guys for 15 years. I play withthem a ton. I think Jake's like one of the best guitar players I've ever met in my life.I also think Brendan's one of the best guitar players I've ever met in my life.I do think the band's playing great without him. I think they're great with him.And I, you know, I hope whatever's going on with him, he figures out. It seems like theysaid in their message, like something. That was the most.
10:53middlethat was the mostSwitzerland ass fuckingthey sound good with Brandonbut they all sound good with Jakethey do I just don't like this shit onlinewhere people are likethey don't need Jake like people think they do
11:07yeah I don't knowI thinkyou know whatthey've been together over 30 yearsI don't know yeah since like1948 I think right for World War IIthey started but uhthey got they started during the
11:21Vietnam WarI don't think it's like a big surprise, right?Everyone kind of saw this coming.Yeah.I don't know.I just think it's, I don't know.I can't say much.I can't either.
11:35I'm too close to the source.Exactly.But I think, you know, when people are in a band together for that long, you know, sometimes it's just hard to like.Change is good sometimes, like we said, like we said earlier.We got to freshen it up every now and then, even though it's hard to, you know, it's like, it's like,everyone's got to enjoythe stuff off thestage too, you know?
12:00I mean, they didn't have it in Mexicoand they fucking ripped for nine hours.Yeah.They ripped so hard that they said,Frasco, you don't even get the play.I forgot about that.You can...I still think about that.
12:14I'm like, bro, do you guys play five hours every day?And you still said,eh, we're okay with your set, Frasco.I'm like, this motherfucker.I got to stop.I gotta stop sucking their dick on this podcast.You can do that, yeah, fuck it, man.They are good at, man.
12:29Disco biscuits could take a couple notes from them on how to get rid of a band member.You know what? That's fucking did that to me.The fuck.I'm being little brothered everywhere.In Northlands, I'm like, we had to start a little late.Disco Biscuits are like, I'm texting.Yeah, New Hampshire.Yeah, yeah.

Next time you want meto interview, uh, yeah.

There's no pop.No more puff piece on the World Save podcast.I will colonize your set at Northlands if I feellike it. Yes.but yeah um sorry to hear about jake i mean you knowi don't know i'm going through breakups in my band so
14:00yeah i feel for it it's uh it's not all about you know sometimes we gottait's not about the fans it's about um just friendship and wanting to keep a brotherhoodalive and if it's not doing music you still want to keep that brotherhood of you guysbeing together so if it's safe if it's more sane to uhdo play different music then do that and sometimes we've got to not think about the fans and think of ourselves like i think everyone's so worried about what are the fans gonna think what is this i'm like oh fuck it what are the fans gonna think if the band isn't getting along and they're playing like shit because like they're in a fight or so i don't know i don't knowyeah or just what if they're just what if they're just you know it's all different variables it's like everyone is so obsessive about you knowThis is like a fan culture when like they,if it's their favorite band,
14:55you should think about their feelings too, you know?Of course.And it's like,there are no band plays better than a bandthat's truly getting along with each other.Oh,I feel now.This is the best,
15:04this band I'm playing with right now.This is the best musical experienceI've ever been in my fucking life, bro.Yeah.Ganser,I'm taking the Ganser's been a good ad besides the cereal.Gancer's been a great ad.You know,
15:16we've been having fill-ins for Floyd and it's been great.You know,it's like,yeah?So like now I know when Floyd can't make itI could fucking I feel comfortableNo disrespect to Richie Richie was greatOr just the other people
15:28But like I got Nick ChameyWho's helping meYou knowAnd I've known him since I was 12 years oldSo like I know when we're fuckingWhen he's acting like a little hoOr I'm acting like a little hoHe'll call me out
15:39He's like he's like you girl lockAll rightI hope you're enjoying the interviewBut a quick message from our budsHey musiciansAre you playing show?shows but have no clips to show for it.Our new sponsor Jam Cut is changing the content game for bands and artists all over.
15:57I'm telling you, we really need this, actually, because I edit all my videos when I'm on thebus, and it's a pain in the fucking ass.Just upload whatever video and audio you have, whether that's phone clips, camera footage,or board audio, and Jam Cut automatically sinks it all over together so you can startcutting clips from the best parts of your shows or Jamshash.Dude, I'm telling you, how many times I have waited.fucking just editing my own video on Instagram Real.I could be finding a girlfriend.
16:27I don't know.And guys, this isn't another AI slop video app.This startup was made by three musicians out of Denver,and they built it with love for the craft.You know, and we're supporting Denver.We're supporting Denver businesses,which is important to me in this scene.So Jam Cuts online editor lets you and your entire band
16:45put your own creative spin on it.It tracks each musicians for tight vertical crops.Add smooth pans and Zoom Plus transitions,separates your audio into stemsand has sick effects that react to the music you're playing.Jamcut turns one show into a week's content.This is huge.Actually, honestly, no bullshit.
17:05This is huge.Because sometimes we only get these, like,shitty one video, iPhone videos,and Jamka can actually cut it into something worth posting.So take it from me.It's fun as hell to use.Your first month is free.Just tell them I sent you.
17:19use the code Frasco and experience the future of live show video editing.So get yourself out.Go to fucking Jamcutt.All right.Hey, boys, what about Jamcut?We love it.They fucking love it.You know what thing that happened that, you know, I would normally just like, you know,
17:36sometimes I'd bark on stage.I'll be like, ah, you guys aren't giving it at all.And I'll say it on the microphone.Right, right, right.Really?I've never heard you do that, actually.I'm like, I said this one time in Nantucky because the crowd was kind ofkind of, you know, the crowds in these, like, um, resort towns sometimes are just like,
17:55just want to hear party songs or like, you know, so like, it's hard to wrangle them in.So I was just not, I was not in the mood.I was like, you know, I just, you know, Nantuck would always, I party hard.And then I go out to play.And so I was just like, just not, I was trying to throw all my fucking curve balls andmy fastball and nothing was fucking registering.And then I looked at the bandAnd I was like, oh yeah, maybe they're being lack of day zeal too.
18:24So I started looking at them.Then I said, I need eight, you guys are giving me 80%.It's such a specific number.I need 100% all the time.You said that all the mic?I said on the mic.So I thought it was funny.Because I normally say that, normally Sean would just hold his breath and just like want to kick my ass.
18:44Yeah, yeah.Mike, right after the stage, didn't do anything.Calm cool, guy of stage, came up to me right way.Hey, I didn't appreciate that.I'm like, oh, we could have a communication about this without holding it in and festering.And it kind of taught me out and matured me of like saying, yeah, let's just communicate more of what we need.And like, also, I got to get out of my head of old habits of revving up the band.When I had a band that was like needed that to fucking wrap up versus music school dudes.
19:18who are a little more sensitiveand, you know, so I have toI have to approach my dialogue with thingsyou know, differently with every people.And it's, I think that's one thing I've learnedor I guess I could clap to.You got a sports car now and you need to putthat premium gas in it.
19:37Who else is someone calling you now?Oh, yeah.Scam likely.But I don't know.I'm just trying to growtrying to keep this thing going,but also try to be true to myself, you know.Yeah, yeah, yeah.
19:52It's like this heart balance of having new guys.I think every band that has a new band members is like,you start losing the identity of how you started this thing,but it's also you got to realize it's a business.Yeah.Yeah, it's like a new girlfriend.Yeah, you're learning how to make love with each other.Yeah, exactly.
20:15But the answer does rip at guitar, man.it's so good and like I appreciated the conversationbecause a lot of people are just mad at mea lot of people in this band just get mad at meand just hold it inbecause they're scared to talk to meand I can't live with thatand then until they blow up or they vemo me
20:33yeah likeuntil you hit that vetmaybe it's not such a bad guy after alloh yeah I forgotrent paidumyou know it's a hardliving in a fucking coffee
20:47can. That's what I know. We live in acan and likeand like we're getting less and lessof the people who party out of the bandso nowit's likeit's three force people who don'tparty but you don't want zero partiers

40:10a, it's been a lot, butI haven't done shows at five months,so that's why this band's kind ofbroke at the time. But now we're about to do100 festivals. You're about to be doingso much, dude. You'll just getin a rhythm again, you'll get it. It'll be good.Yeah. If that show would have went well,
40:26I'm broke.Oh, yeah. I'm not, I don't, this is whywork so much because I don't like the ideaof even like I got a savingsI got my personal stuff I'm fineyeah I know you mean butjust to take care of the motions of the bandand take care of the podcast
40:42and taking care of everythingwhen I don't have Dota do thatI start freaking out and this onelike this is why I work so much because I have suchanxiety about taking careof this whole fucking thingthat it'sit freaks me out
40:58when the bank account isgetting when I have to like kind ofbecause I normally shotgun billsand shotgun everyyeah yeah yeahand this fucking economybeing in a ban you know it's whereeverything cost triple
41:12amount and like it was hardit was hard in a good economyyeahI looked at my credit card statementso I told every I told the guysI told the team yo I want to get aheadon flights four to five months in advancebecause I don't want with this
41:28Trump tariff and the oilit's just if we do last minute flightsit's gonna be way too expensiveand then I looked at my credit cardbecause I dictated theor I made the commandat $120,000on my credit card
41:45God I'm likeI could have bought a houseOhYou could just fucking flightsThat's not the tour bus who costs 10 grandThat's not the fucking gasThat costs crazy amountAnd that's not salary
41:57So like that means120 grand it was just going toto sit on my credit card for another two months while I do this first month of touring to pay backeverything. Right, right, right, damn. So then I'm thinking about, you know, because I'm Jewish,you know, I don't like interest, you know, I'm like, think of interest. Is it like a sin inJudaism? What is it? Like, I don't know. There's something about interest. I do not, I do not likeinterest. I do not like payments. I don't like monthly payments. I shock on all my, you know,you hate monthly payments. You don't like anytime like, I've noticed. Even my own people money,

42:49But other people are different.People like the monthly security.I don't have like a salary type of job, you know.Yeah, yeah.We make all our money in the summer and we got to hold on to it all year.you know, we make all our money in the summerjust to pay for the toursin the fucking fall and the winter, you know?
