Can we guess what you went to prison? Where are you from? Can we guess what you went to prison for? Can we guess? Nick, what do you think you went to prison for?
Starting point is 00:13:31 So you're white. He's hot. You're good looking. He's white and Jewish. It had to be drug related. I'm thinking taxes. Possession. Possession of a large amount of powdered drugs.
Starting point is 00:13:43 He nailed it. What? Are you for real? Yeah. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Wait. I met a lawyer here last night. You could have used him, I feel like.
Starting point is 00:13:54 I actually met a criminal defense lawyer here last night. I should have hooked you up six years ago. I needed it. What was it? Yeah, it was a bunch of coke, like you said. I was at Lock and Festival and got caught. NARC Festival.
Starting point is 00:14:10 Virginia. In 2017. So what happened? Ended up pulling 37 months on it. You were in prison for 37 months? As a white Jew, yes. That's longer than Andy went to high school. Hold on You went to prison for 37 months?
Starting point is 00:14:30 We were in there, yeah And for some reason they sent me to mid-security too Like barbed wire, murderers, all the bullshit Did you accidentally have sex? Not accidentally Did you get in any fight? Did you have to fight a lot? There were some fights, for sure.
Starting point is 00:14:45 My butthole is the same size as it was when I went in. Yeah, I'll clap to that. Congrats. Due to said fighting, we protected the butthole. But yeah, 37 months. Did you have to join a gang? No, there's a lot of ABs in there, like Aryan Brotherhood. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:03 And you're Jewish. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. You kept your mouth shut, I'm sure., like Aryan Brotherhood. Oh, yeah. And you're Jewish. Yeah, exactly. You kept your mouth shut, I'm sure. I did, but it was kind of comical when people would say crazy things about Jews, and I'd kind of join in and be like, yeah, those motherfucking Jews are taking over. Just to kind of blend in, you know? Little did they know, my mom and dad had a nice bar mitzvah for me a few years ago. You didn't send them your transcripts.
Starting point is 00:15:25 But yeah, those fucking... Yeah, fuck the Jews, but I did make $15 dad had a nice bar mitzvah for me a few years. You didn't send them your transcripts. But yeah, those fucking... Yeah, fuck the Jews, but I did make $15,000 in my bar mitzvah. Yeah. Go into your commissary. How do you think you bought the coat? Commissary. How does Nixon know so much about prison? That's right, the commissary.
Starting point is 00:15:37 A lot of documentaries. Don't have a lot going on. He's a podcast host. A lot of content. All day, just watch his cult films and shit. So prison. A lot of content. All day just watches cult films and shit. So prison. Wow. 37 months.
Starting point is 00:15:48 So was it reduced or did you have to do the whole thing? I was supposed to do 33-ish months, but I kept getting in trouble. What did you do? What happened? Ended up pulling 37. I don't know. There's nothing to do in there. So you're always getting in trouble and everybody runs their time up.
Starting point is 00:16:02 Getting tattoos, getting in in fights unauthorized area charges i guess my point is nick whatever you do don't go to prison i'd be horrible in prison i'll be like follow your dreams follow your anybody never give up anybody here want to talk about their mental oh god oh god i'm getting the shit beat out of me. Mental health. Oh, God. I went to prison in Germany once, and that was the closest thing I thought about. 1946. I was like, here it is. Here we go. I skirted it.
Starting point is 00:16:32 I skirted the German police. Yeah, we went. We all were. Yeah, we were. We're on scooters. We're on fucking scooters, Uber scooters. And they pulled us over. Floyd was there, too.
Starting point is 00:16:43 Yeah, Floyd. And Floyd didn't go to jail. He's like, no, I'm not taking your fucking piss test, socialist. Yeah, he knows how to lie to cops. You gotta learn
Starting point is 00:16:50 how to lie to cops. I'm not a good liar. Me and Nick saw him coming a mile away and ran. Last time we got pulled over, you lied your ass off to the cops. I did.
Starting point is 00:16:56 Go to Franny Fresco. Go to Franny Fresco. Always lie to the police. We got pulled over in North Carolina last tour on the border and I lied.
Starting point is 00:17:06 My ass off, yes. Is there weed in the car? I'm like, yes, there's a couple joints. I'm looking behind me and Bo, our tour manager, just eating an ounce of fucking weed. I'm like, you better fuck it. You better, bro. Give it up for Bo, our tour manager,
Starting point is 00:17:22 our editor, our podcast. I was like, holy shit, this is real. And Bo and then and then Floyd just like sleeping on the fucking floor. I've been here, done that. Can I get a sub for this? The minute they find drugs, I'm ratting everyone out. I'm going back to Nantucket. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:42 So you got out of prison and you started writing music or were you always writing music? Yeah, we got out of prison. We got the band back together. I'm obsessed with Blues Brothers, so I would call my bandmates from prison and be like, we're getting the band back together.
Starting point is 00:17:55 We're on a mission from God. And now we're playing with Andy Frasco at New Year's Eve. Let's go. I love it. Well, Dale, I'm honored to meet you. Everyone says you're a crazy ass, but I think you're actually pretty normal. Thank you, bro. Brasco at New Year's Eve. Let's go. I love it. Well, Dale, I'm honored to meet you.

Starting point is 00:18:25 Jew? I was going to get Jew on my stomach. Oh my God. That wouldn't go over good with the area brotherhood. Instead, I got bad hippie. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I don't know anyone who's gone to jail for that long.
Starting point is 00:18:39 You do? It was weird. Oh, Beats does. Yeah, Beats from East Los Angeleseles you've seen a couple oh yeah our tour manager was in jail for three years oh yeah he was a different one before yeah before when when he went to prison we got bow five tour managers ago and um but yeah he had he had uh 300 pounds of wheat 400 pounds shit uh weed in missouri lizzo and he was just on statute of libertation. So we thought it was a good idea that he drive the van
Starting point is 00:19:09 for the two years until he went to prison. And then he got and then they pulled him over in New Orleans. He's like, boys, my time with you is up. Oh my God. Apparently you can't have hundreds and hundreds of pounds of drugs on you. Well, nowadays it's okay. But 2006 it was kind of fucked up.
Starting point is 00:19:27 Is it legal here? No. No. We shouldn't be talking about this, right? Whatever. I'm like, oh, there's coke in the building, there's jigs, there's helium. There was. Yeah, there's not.
Starting point is 00:19:39 Yeah, yeah. But I also heard a very fascinating... You said you used to be in sex work? Yeah, I was doing some sex work. Like what, with your cock? Yeah, just right when I... It wasn't full sex, but right when I got out of prison, you know, we needed to hustle, get back on the horse
Starting point is 00:19:54 and make some money. So I just had that good prison bod right when I was out. Oh, my God, yes. So I started running some ads, and next thing I know, I could wear a thong and get paid $800 an hour to give massages to gay men in the greater D.C. area. Massaging? How much?
Starting point is 00:20:12 Oh, my God. Wait, how much? How much? Yeah, it was good. The money's good. How much an hour? It depends, but when the guys are really horny and weird, they're down to shell out like $800 an hour.
Starting point is 00:20:27 Hold on. So why aren't you doing this now? You're in an opening band. Yeah, why are you playing music? Why aren't you just fucking doing the VIP package with that? What room are you in? That would be a good VIP package. For an extra $20, Dale's dick will be on your back.
Starting point is 00:20:43 Room 230, come on up tonight after a set. 800 bucks an hour. I got 6 p.m. open and 8.45 open. By hour, we mean 50 minutes with a 10-minute changeover for the next person, okay? You don't get the full hour. You ever, like, after you're done with that, like, look yourself in the mirror like, what the fuck? Definitely. Definitely.
Starting point is 00:21:04 Do you feel like more of a whore sometimes opening for Andy Fresco? Yeah. You gotta do what you gotta do. Gotta do what you gotta do. $20 is $20. Pretty much. Pretty much. Talk about money
Starting point is 00:21:22 too. I heard you're into crypto. Yeah, i was big into crypto we we made and lost millions for sure who the fuck you're a drug dealer by we do you mean i was i was but yeah i was in in february 2021 whoever follows crypto you know it was it was peak of the bull run and essentially i still had like 15 grand of like coke money when i got out of prison and i oh yeah by the way. I popped it into this token called Pancake Swap in February of 2021 at 40 cents. So about 15K.
Starting point is 00:21:54 And it went parabolic. It went to $37. How much money is that? I don't know. A couple million. It's 2.4 million. We did the math outside. Nice.
Starting point is 00:22:04 So for 2021 and 2022, I had all these millions of dollars. And it was quite interesting. Out of prison? Yeah, so within 18 months of getting out of prison, I was a multi-millionaire, which was really interesting for the band, for everything.
Starting point is 00:22:21 My family was all of a sudden really involved in my life. It was cool. But, you know, I'm a greedy Jew and I'm glad we spent the money we did but I wrote it all the way down to my principal and there's this weird psychological thing when the market's going down. Oh, you kept it in there?
Starting point is 00:22:36 And you lost two million? Yes. Sam Bankman fried. What I'm trying to say is if you need a massage, Andy Frasco, get $200 out of the merch money. Let's fucking do this. I guarantee you'll spend that one you got in the Kreutzer cruise.
Starting point is 00:22:55 If you need a massage, Andy Frasco. I feel bad for you. I'll take one cap. I'm off supervised probation. Oh my God. Were you on probation? Yeah, I'm on probation pretty much forever. Really? But supervised probation's done, so we can chill a little bit.
Starting point is 00:23:13 I was chilling with your crew last night in the Little Stranger Green room. It was pretty wild, actually. Were you hiding your money, too? Were you giving the band McChickens and you're out there eating caviar and shit? No, we never sold it. My bandmates are here now, and I'd like to think I was sharing the wealth and they'll tell you so. Let's fucking go. That's a good boy. Let's go.
Starting point is 00:23:30 Dale. Holy shit, bro. I didn't know anything about this. Yeah, it's been a volatile ride. What did you learn about prison? Like being alone with your thoughts. Yeah, I mean, I think it was a great time to song write. Like we're going to play tonight at 8pm and I'd say more than half the songs we're going to play tonight I wrote in the penitentiary.
Starting point is 00:23:46 Really? Yeah. You want to play a prison song right now? Prison song. Let's play a song. Prison song. Prison song. Johnny Cash.
Starting point is 00:23:54 Johnny Cash. Johnny Cash. Damn, you're the Jewish Johnny Cash, bro. Trying to be. Go grab that. Grab that cord. What's the hero version of Jonathan? Just Jonathan, I guess
Starting point is 00:24:06 Yeah, you're muted Wow, isn't this a crazy story? I think that's insane Do you think music saved your life? Definitely not I think that's pretty like I have a question I have a question, though
Starting point is 00:24:19 What was better? Being in prison or being a multi-millionaire? What was better? Yeah, what did you like more? His money was in prison, too. Now that prison's done, dude, that was kind of sick. Yeah. Really?
Starting point is 00:24:32 Yeah, it was sick. Like, to have that experience was, you know, special. Was it harder than high school? Hold on, I'm going to backtrack. Prison for 33 months with the Aryan homies talking shit about juice. And you're like, fuck yeah, brother. That was tight. That was tight?
Starting point is 00:24:51 Now that it's done, it's awful during. I also pulled fucking all of March 2018. I was in solitary confinement. Holy shit. So that was crazy too. But now that it's all done and we have these songs and I'm back with my bandmates and we're here with you and we're talking about it, I think it's kind of dope.
Starting point is 00:25:10 Yeah, I think it's kind of dope too, actually. I feel like we can't suppress our feelings. I'm glad you did that. I'm glad you went to prison for all of us. Yeah, thank you. Appreciate it. Damn. Everyone else on this reggae scene seems not as tough anymore.

It's fucking great. Dale! Who inspires you as an artist?
Starting point is 00:30:37 I've never really even felt like a musician. I like telling stories and writing lyrics, but I was cliche as a kid. I listened to a lot of Sublime. I loved Dirty Heads, and that's know, I was cliche as a kid. I listened to a lot of Sublime. I loved Dirty Heads, and that's just how I started skanking on it. But I still don't even, like, really feel like a musician, Andy, but, like, I love telling stories,
Starting point is 00:30:54 and I think this is, like, the best medium for me to do it. Right. Also, with all these felonies, I can't get fired from my own band. Yeah. Respect. So that's good, too.
Starting point is 00:31:05 I relate to you with that because I'm not the greatest piano player, but my words are what I try to aspire by. And to have another songwriter who's worried about words, too, I respect it. Give it up for Dale. Dale with the D-subs. My boy. I appreciate you.
Starting point is 00:31:22 Do you have any more questions for Dale before we bring our next guest up? I feel like you covered it all. I don't know. I kind of want to go to prison now and get better at music. Hey, I just want to say, I live in D.C., and there was a venue called Gypsy Sally's,
Starting point is 00:31:35 and in 2014, I went to a show on a weeknight. It was like a Tuesday or Wednesday, and it was Andy Frasco in the U.N., and there were only about... You were the guy that was there. There were only about 10 or... It's famous now, guys guy that was there. They were only about 10 or... It's famous now, guys. It's fine.
Starting point is 00:31:47 There were only about 10 or 15 people in the room. I was one of them. And you guys went just as fucking hard as you do now in front of thousands of people. And I just remember that show. And I haven't seen you since then. And it's just cool to be linked up with you now like this. Bro. It's cool.
Starting point is 00:32:03 I appreciate it, man. This is why I love this scene. This type of bands, we're not going to get famous instantly. We're going to put in the work. That's why I fucking love Little Stranger. Our boys with Little Stranger. They work fucking their ass off every day. And we all
Starting point is 00:32:19 we're all going to get there in our own way and just do it together. That's what's fucking special. We're going to put in the sex work, Andy. Andy's jealous of you being the sex worker. I wish I had a hog. You have a hog. No. It's like a thumb.
Starting point is 00:32:36 It's like this. I'm a medium Jew and I pull it off. But you've got a hog. I can tell. It's medium, dude. It's medium. That's what everybody with a big hog says. Well, Dale, before we leave,
Starting point is 00:32:44 I want to ask you one last thing. When it's all said and done, what do you want to be remembered by? I hope my bandmates think that we had fun and worked hard together. I love my bandmates. Fuck yeah. Amen. For the band. Hey, Jim, give it up for Dale.

Starting point is 00:42:52 The corporates were keeping my fucking band up till 6 a.m. last night. There they are. Oh, yeah. It was our idea. It was our idea. What the fuck? How are we going to follow Dale's stories right now? Holy shit.
Starting point is 00:43:06 Have you guys heard about our all-boys Catholic school upbringing? Exactly. Well, we went to private school. Clarence's parents had a real good marriage. I had a 3.2 GPA, and my parents were not happy with that. We committed all the same crimes but didn't get in trouble because we're rich. Uh-oh. I mean, yeah, not rich, but maybe next year.
Starting point is 00:43:28 That's what rich people say. Kev? Hi. What's it like being a white rapper? You know. Exactly. It was fun at the Take 5 oil change the other day when they all were like, so what do you do, Mr. Big Hair?
Starting point is 00:43:47 And I had to say I was a rapper, and then they all shouted out the band name to everyone working in the garage, and actual hard blue-collar Americans were like, oh, you're a fucking rapper? What the fuck? I felt so small. The same way I felt after Dale's interview. Can you guys change my tire? I'm a rapper.
Starting point is 00:44:05 Yeah. Yeah. I literally, I got every upgrade. I just started saying yes. I felt so bad. $800 a Jiffy Lube? Yeah. At first, when you were first in the band, Kev,
Starting point is 00:44:18 and you go to Thanksgiving, and everyone's like, I know your sisters and family are kind of like, what, like doctors and shit? What are they like? No. No, your little brother. I mean, my brother is a certified genius. We're not sure he's still from the family.
Starting point is 00:44:32 He's now getting his master's and doctorate at Notre Dame and will be teaching at Notre Dame in the next upcoming years. In what? In what? In what? What? In what? The philosophy of physics. White wrapping. Unfortunately, it's white wrapping.
Starting point is 00:44:48 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Unfortunate white wrapping. So when everyone's, they're talking about physics and you're like, well, we just put out a great record. It's gotta be tough. It was hard for my family. My family's all doctors and I'd show up, you know, like, I just found out what mushrooms are, you know?
Starting point is 00:45:03 Oh, great. Here he is. He's coming into the family. It's gotta be, you know like i just found out what mushrooms are you know so like oh great here he is there he's coming into the family it's got to be you know how do we tell our parent like what does it take for our parents to finally accept us as musicians well i'm asking well i would love to say there's a really beautiful story i think like i i am very lucky that i've always been very supported by my family as being a musician from like starting really young my parents were just like fuck yeah he's good at this let's let him do it and Kev's parents didn't always come to our early shows when we were playing like bar gigs and stuff and my parents would come out then we played this one show in Philly opening for Bad Fish and Kevin's parents
Starting point is 00:45:40 came out and by that time we had some fans, and they walked into Kevin signing shirts for some young 10-year-old kids, and it totally changed their perception on Kevin and his abilities and everything. Let's fucking go! Yeah. My boy! He's a real boy.
Starting point is 00:45:59 Yeah. I mean, it is nice. I tend to not say white before rapper when I talk about what I'm doing. Nope, nope, sorry. But it is nice to know that that's the only thing that pays the bills now. Pretty rad. Isn't that amazing?
Starting point is 00:46:13 We follow dreams, and all of a sudden you wake up one day and the dream's there. You know? Yeah. Because I know I've seen you guys. I see your fucking van. I see Snell. Where's Snell at? Give it up for Dan Snell.
Starting point is 00:46:22 Dan Snell. Harmonica, baby. Dan Snell. It's like herding cats with this fucking band. It's like we were on tour. Only two cats. And this man works very hard. Please give it up one more time for Dan Snell. He's a great guy. He's the best.
Starting point is 00:46:38 Daniel Elliott. We love you, Dan. Him and Bo kind of look alike a little bit. They do. They could be brothers. Get up here too, Bo. Let me see kind of look alike a little bit. They do. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's weird. They're bald. They could be brothers. Hold on. Get up here too, Bo.
Starting point is 00:46:47 Let me see this actually. Maybe you guys should kiss. Kiss. Kiss. Kiss. Kiss. Kiss. Kiss.
Starting point is 00:46:52 Kiss. Kiss. To a manager. Kiss. Kiss. Kiss. Kiss. Hit that C, boys.
Starting point is 00:47:00 Let's go. That was the most fun I've ever had on a tour. Mother Teresa of the jam band scene, everybody. Andy Fresco. Our Mother Teresa. Mother Jerusa. But yeah, it was great. I've never seen so many men testicles in my life.
Starting point is 00:47:20 It'd be the green room, and we would just be... Because you guys are all hitched up, so we just had to do boy stuff. And it was nice to get to know you as people, and then, and your balls. It's insane how much they kiss, guys. It's not a bit.
Starting point is 00:47:36 It's offstage, too. You guys realize that. They're kissing a lot. So much. COVID happened, and we were like, we got to ramp it up. I don't kiss my girlfriend as much as you kiss your bros. And she told me that. Wait, what?
Starting point is 00:47:53 But yeah, and then we started writing songs together. And now you really all are our best friends. And I'm just so happy for your success. You know what I like about them? I like them because they're actually good. Yeah, they're good. You don't hardly ever see that anymore. Nick doesn't say anything nice, so that's a huge compliment.
Starting point is 00:48:11 I'm a nice guy. I'm on time. But name your three least favorite openers for you guys. No, no, stop, stop, stop. Me, me, me. No, he picks good openers, actually. He has good taste. Thanks. Oh, he picks good openers, actually. He's good taste. Thanks.
Starting point is 00:48:25 Oh, thanks, baby. But you got a lot of stuff coming. You should see the people he turns down, though. Holy shit. You got a lot of things going on in your world right now. You guys just got off tour with Dirty Heads? Or was it? Well, we did a tour with Dirty Heads through August in Florida,
Starting point is 00:48:43 which was very hot and outdoor. Oh, fuck that. Were you the first band, too? Yeah. So you were playing at like 102 degrees? In the sunshine, yeah. That was pretty brutal. Did you always pass out?
Starting point is 00:48:54 We got close. There was one night we had to leave after our set. Yeah. Is your computer ever stop working? Yeah, that's a big fucking issue. That's the thing. Yeah, when you play hard, like all those DJs, that's why they have those black things over their computer when they play in the sun.
Starting point is 00:49:07 So their whole set doesn't die because they don't play. Right. We would like set up ice and put a fan that blew the ice onto the computer. Another great story about you guys is you guys went to high school together, but didn't really fuck with each other in high school. Right? Yeah. I think we were like,
Starting point is 00:49:21 we were very casual fan, like friends and fans of each other and knew we had things going on. We'd go up against each other and battle the bands. I always won. Yeah. I was on the short end of the stick every time. If you can't beat them, join them.
Starting point is 00:49:41 It's so sick. Yeah, we met freshman year In our biology class Because they sit you alphabetically And we have the same last name Which is fucking crazy And yeah we were like acquaintances For a long time And then my band ended
Starting point is 00:49:53 Your band kind of ended At the same time I mean I ended it Okay you're still trying He's Kevin Durant Yeah That's basically what happened Yeah
Starting point is 00:50:00 Kevin came over to my team Exactly And now he's winning No but meeting Kevin, I had never worked with somebody who was like a superstar mentality
Starting point is 00:50:09 and Kevin changed my life because he's just a fucking force that you reckon with. He really is. And I love this guy right here. I couldn't do any of it
Starting point is 00:50:16 without this man. I'm so happy you have each other. Like for real. Yeah, yeah. And I told John the other day too,
Starting point is 00:50:23 it's, I mean, everyone that comes in contact with this guy has a positive experience. And he was one of the few people that, like, knew how to, like, even just semi-navigate the music world. I was like, you grow up, you make best friends in high school, and you have a band, and then they succeed, like the Red Hot Chili Peppers, like we all do.
Starting point is 00:50:40 And then I was like, oh, no fucking way. That does not happen anymore. So John was my guy. There's a bunch of songs about California, too, like the Red Hot Chili Peppers. We talk shit about California. I hate that fucking song. Hey, fuck Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Starting point is 00:50:55 That song pisses me off. The song about LA? About that chick in LA? Yeah, because you're a little bitch. Wait, you're the chick in LA? I'm the chick from LA. It me it's about me no but uh no i think it's great i think the great story is uh when you guys first met when you first said let's connect this bond and what was that like who emailed who or who called who oh my god john wrote me this beautiful like i don't know two page 10 email. My dearest Kevin. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:27 My love, it's been a hard spring. Winter has come. It's been raining all day here in Philadelphia. But yeah, he wrote me this beautiful email because essentially I was going to leave my band, I was going to leave my girlfriend at the time, all my family, everything, and he was like, let's take a chance. I felt like fucking Thelma and Louise
Starting point is 00:51:44 ready to just drive off the cliff. We still have the email, let's take a chance. I felt like fucking thumb on the wheeze. We still have the email and props to fucking Kevin. You were freshly in a relationship and you chose this booty over that booty. Yeah, yeah. It's like a Hugh Grant film. We keep
Starting point is 00:52:04 saying one day we're going to put the fucking email out. It should be like the back of a shirt or something. Monetize it for sure. There's romance in there. Definitely monetize it, whatever you do. I mean, we've learned a lot from our time with Andy. Yo, pre-ordered
Starting point is 00:52:20 t-shirts. That's like the new hot shit. I couldn't believe that you got pulled pulled over, and within an hour, there were shirts about being pulled over. It was beautiful. It's like Puff Daddy. I'm like, boys, we got to get out of the ghetto. I think I can make three grand on this this weekend.
Starting point is 00:52:37 Let me call Blair. Still not as much as Dale's making. Exactly. So you're in a lot of communities. How great is it that the reggae community accepted you? It's been fucking nuts, honestly. Right. Amazing.
Starting point is 00:52:51 Like, really blown away by the fan base. I mean, fucking here we go. Yeah, you guys are the best. We didn't expect to be in that scene when we started, because we were like, we're more hip hop or something. And then it just sort of happened very organically. And we got to go on tour with bands like The Movement and Bad Fish was huge for us.
Starting point is 00:53:09 And the fucking fan base is unbelievable, man. And we're so thankful. It's crazy. It's crazy, the support. I was in the crowd. I know it's kind of on a lot of mushrooms, but I started crying when everyone was singing your fucking song. Every song. You guys know every song of these guys. and I fuck with that.
Starting point is 00:53:26 They're our boys. Maybe you should open tonight. No. I'm kidding. He's my boss. Let's do it. I'm way down. I'll get better at 11. I would love to get fucked up before 11.30.
Starting point is 00:53:42 You're going to see a lot of crossover tonight, though, guys. We're doing a bunch of Stranger, though, guys. Yeah, tonight we have a collab. We're doing a bunch of Stranger Frasco collab like the old tour. A lot of scissoring. A lot of kissing. Yeah, we're going to have a lot of prison talk tonight. Lots of it.
Starting point is 00:53:58 So I'd like to know, what was the first song you guys wrote together? What was that called? It was probably Rosewater. I think it's either that or Easier or Harder. I think it's Easier or Harder was the first. Yeah. John is... He leads the song charge. This is the fucking...
Starting point is 00:54:11 The king of swing over here. This dude is like... His hooks and stuff. You know. So John is usually the one to kind of kick things off. And I feel like that was probably the one. Yeah, because it was all like email back and forth at that point. We weren't living together.
Starting point is 00:54:24 He hasn't moved to... He didn't move to Charleston yet. And then before he moved to Charleston, we were writing things back and forth while he was still in Philly. But we did Rosewater together in the studio and it was like our first music video we ever put out. And it's hilarious
Starting point is 00:54:37 why that song is called Rosewater because we didn't know what to call it. And I got like a nudie pic from a girl. And it was still on like a flip phone at that point. And I got like a nudie pic from a girl. And it was still on like a flip phone at that point. It wasn't like high quality. And she had just gotten out of the bath and she said, just a little dash of rose water.
Starting point is 00:54:58 And I'm like, I guess that's the name of this fucking song. Your fucking life is so romantic. Thanks, bro. It feels that way. Well, John wrote back sick tits, which was kind of a hard response to it. Thanks, bro. It feels that way. Well, John wrote back sick tits, which was kind of a hard response to it. I like it. It's a compliment?
Starting point is 00:55:11 She's like, oh my God, she wrote something so poetic. It's like, sick tits. Sick tits. That's a compliment.
Starting point is 00:55:18 Sick tits. Has John always been this hot? Whoa. Yeah. I mean, it is wild. You can see. We should put up the yearbook photos throughout the year because just like between one year, he became this
Starting point is 00:55:35 and he was shorter than me. He was shorter than me. I was a late bloomer. I didn't hit puberty until I was like 17 or something. It was hard out here. I didn't have pubic hair. All my friends did. Yeah? Yeah. But the man had the charm.
Starting point is 00:55:48 I mean, like, I think from your pops, you get that, like, again, being creative and being like, your dad's a Casanova in a lot of ways. The way he talks about almost anything. Fuck a Papa John, baby. Yeah, shout out to Papa John. Not the Papa John. Not the racist guy. No, no, the OG Papa John. Not the racist guy. No, no, the OG Papa John.
Starting point is 00:56:06 Not the pizza guy. The pizza racist. Pizza racist Papa John. John, how has your songwriting improved since you've had Kevin in the band? It's changed because I used to write everything pretty much strictly on an acoustic guitar. And I would write the complete song.
Starting point is 00:56:24 But I got way more into production in meeting Kevin. So now we kind of write as we produce, which I really enjoy a lot. But I think the biggest part is you have that person to push. If he does something really sick, I'm like, I want to do something
Starting point is 00:56:39 even sicker. So we have this cool pushing each other's limit. It's just, it makes you better working with someone who's really talented. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:50 And we're just gushing. I'm going to start crying. Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!
Starting point is 00:56:55 Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Hell yeah. You know, when it's out, just kiss the homies.
Starting point is 00:57:05 Try that at the grocery store to random people. But I hear that because I was a solo songwriter and then until I got with this band and Sean, I write a lot of songs with Sean and I realized you need someone.
Starting point is 00:57:18 Yeah, Cocksmith Mickey over here. Jesus Christ. Your dick is just staring me right in the eye, dude. It's just fucking wild. I keep trying not to turn around. I can feel the air coming. Floyd, sit the
Starting point is 00:57:29 fuck down. You're freaking me out. Sit down. Floyd doesn't know how to sit down. Fun fact I learned last night. He doesn't actually know how to sit. He was struggling last night. So we we're going to play a game with you. That's okay.
Starting point is 00:57:47 Nick has collected questions. Uh-oh. You printed this out. We printed it out. We worked hard on this show. We. How y'all feeling? Can we keep going?
Starting point is 00:57:55 Y'all good? Is this okay? Here we go. We should let them ask us questions in a little bit. Yeah, maybe. We're going to do a little trivia for you guys. As you you know I am the Ken Jennings of the jam bands oh yeah except poor
Starting point is 00:58:08 number one Kevin you mostly rap but also have decided to play the melodica for some reason do you ever get embarrassed being an adult man playing the melodica in front of people yes but it's not it's not
Starting point is 00:58:25 It's not the melodic It's that I literally don't even know What I'm playing John has to show me where to put my fingers Every time And then I just repeat it and repeat it Until it's finally just stuck in my head First of all that's better
Starting point is 00:58:41 That you're doing it ironically I don't understand it Number two, that is correct. Give it up for him, guys. I love when Kev is about to play the melodica, and he kind of prepares everyone for it. He's like this. Yeah. You have to
Starting point is 00:58:58 do that with a melodica. You can't take it seriously. It's like you're presenting something so epically beautiful, and all of a sudden you just pull out a fucking melodica. That makes that noise. Makes that noise. It's the musical equivalent of shotgunning a Coors Light.
Starting point is 00:59:16 Number two. You guys are both from Philadelphia, so I'm assuming you're both. You guys can collaborate on this. I'm assuming you're both. Shut the fuck up, Floyd. God damn it. You either don't show up or you ruin everything.
Starting point is 00:59:30 God damn it! I'm so glad I didn't go to your wedding. You guys are both from Philadelphia, so I'm assuming you're both huge Eagles fans. Who is the Philadelphia Eagles' third all-time leader in passing yards? Hint, he never operated in a legal dog fighting room.
Starting point is 00:59:49 God damn it. That's exactly where I was going to go. Third all-time leading. I'll give you a hint. It's not in the last 10 years. It's a classic. Cunningham? Yep.
Starting point is 00:59:59 You got it right. Let's go, baby. Let's go, birds. Let's go, birds. Let's go, birds. Hell yeah. Oh, shit. Wait, that's happening right now.
Starting point is 01:00:05 Did we win? Two more. Can we start drinking? This is a party day. He looked at me and asked me because I am kind of the bar. If I start drinking, everybody can start drinking. I haven't stopped. Oh shit, I gave.
Starting point is 01:00:23 This one's just for John. John, you're obviously tall and attractive and look cool on stage. Oh shit, I gave This one's just for John John, you're obviously tall and attractive And look cool on stage Oh, thanks Do you ever get embarrassed being on stage With a guy playing melodica? What the fuck, Kevin?
Starting point is 01:00:41 I fucking never do Because this is my ride or die, baby Let's go Hold on I fucking never do because this is my ride or die baby when he makes that shit look good. Let's go. Hold on. Hold on. That's incorrect actually.
Starting point is 01:00:50 That's incorrect. The answer is yes. You do get embarrassed. Okay, number four. Okay. You guys can collab on this. One thing about a duo act is you can never really be
Starting point is 01:01:03 equally famous, right? There's always a Simon and a Garfunkel or a George Michael and the other guy from Wham. Hold for applause. Sick Wham reference. Which one of you has more Instagram followers on your solo account? I don't know, actually. Let's look it up. You don't get to look it up. You gotta guess.
Starting point is 01:01:29 I'll give you a hint. It's about 900 person difference. I think it's definitely John, and I think it skews more women. I get the cool late 30s, 40s men. Thank you guys out here. I see you all out here tonight, and I appreciate it.
Starting point is 01:01:44 This is your demo right here. He says John. Who do you guess, John? I guess Kevin. He gets a lot more dudes. Dudes are more active on social media these days. Is that true? I don't know about that. The correct answer with
Starting point is 01:01:58 5,847 followers, the leader is John. Yeah. Yeah. He's a star. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, because that's how we fucking rate our lives now.
Starting point is 01:02:13 Well, that's how it works. Welcome to the music industry. Sick tits, motherfucker. Sick tits. He said it first. I stole that from him. Give him some credit for that joke. Sick tits. That's all the questions. Wow, that's it? We can do more. I. Give him some credit for that joke. That's all the questions. Wow, that's it?
Starting point is 01:02:27 We can do more. I can look up some shit on my phone. You were just ripping down on his melodica. That was the whole trivia? Yeah, I just wanted to make funny for playing melodica. I mean, I wondered where you went so early last night. I'm glad you put that time to use. I didn't disappear. I went back and watched some weird shit on HBO that some Shia LaBeouf movie
Starting point is 01:02:44 while somebody was DJing reggae until three in the morning. Who the fuck was DJing reggae until three in the morning? You didn't have to bring the silent DJ headphones to the room. You didn't have to wear the fucking headphones all night. If I see something Bluetooth, I just take it.
Starting point is 01:03:00 I think what a lot of people don't know about Kev is Kev runs all the social media for Little Strangers. He makes all the videos. He does all the marketing. It's the yin and yang. He's smart. You need to work on your solo account. Take some tips from Andy. He's the
Starting point is 01:03:18 content king over here. I'm just a whore. Can you clip out this thing of Bert Kreutzer saying I'm cool? here? I'm just a whore. Can you clip out this thing of Bert Kreischer saying I'm cool? Wait, wait, wait. Remember the morning two days ago I get a text from Andy. What are you doing right now?
Starting point is 01:03:33 Can you clip something off YouTube for me? Gary Goldman and Bert Kreischer were nice to me on their podcast. Please send it to me right now. Right now before I go sit in with Humphreys. That's not even a joke. That's just what happened. I did that. with Humphreys. That's not even a joke. That's just what happened. No, no, no. I did that.
Starting point is 01:03:46 Yes, I did that. Also, I sat in bed and watched that clip. It was a good clip. And had the most important single tear. Bro, same. I was watching the airport. I was blown away. It was fucking beautiful.
Starting point is 01:04:00 You deserve all of it. This man deserves all of it. We're doing it together. I was more than happy to do it. I didn't even invoice him. Also, Nick wants you all day today, if you get the chance, come up and tell him your favorite reggae song.
Starting point is 01:04:15 He's building a playlist. If you can play it on melodica, you get 10 extra points. Bring the melodica to room 238, ladies and gentlemen. I'm sitting down on melodica, and I'm like, fuck it. I can figure it out.
Starting point is 01:04:26 Guys, it's been a pleasure, and I never get to see you anymore. You guys are super famous now. Shut the fuck up. You're the most famous person I know. But I'm just thankful for your friendship, and any time I have a hard time, I hit you guys up. I call you a lot. I talk to you a lot, and you always cheer me up when I want to quit
