Airbnb guests do not like it. Yeah, I tell them, don't worry about that guy in the side room. Why are you doing a podcast by yourself down there? Why are you pausing for three minutes while the other person doesn't talk?

I've been practicing. Just practicing. Waiting for this moment back on the show. Yeah, people heard your little message last week about how you weren't on the show, so we were like, we got a lot of messages. They love me out there. They love you.

It's because I'm hilarious. I think it's because, no, I'm just kidding. But, uh, I really think it's just cause we're just different. We're opposites. Yeah.

This is a special, if I was like you, they would hate it. What do you mean? There'd be a lot of the same thing. Like if, if you were like, if we were both like me,

they wouldn't like it either. Yeah. Oh, if we were like the same type of person like follow your dreams oh my god just you guys like fucking do it get up lift weights become a scuba diver have you ever scuba dove is that what it is i can't i'm afraid of that keep the music going okay have you ever scoop scuba divin i've never scuba divin i feel like like you'd look hilarious doing it. Oh, my God.

Like, Jerry Garcia and shit did that. It was like his sanctuary. I feel like he did that because he, like... I don't think Jerry Garcia... I'm not, like, Mr. Dead Guy, but I've watched a few docs. I've met a couple of the guys in the band, you know? And I asked them... Mickey Hart, like, I've been to his studio,

and Menert told me some stuff about him. Like, Jerry doesn't seem like he really liked being famous that much. I think it kind of tortured him, and I think that's why he liked scuba diving. And did heroin. Yeah, to just get away from everything. But I don't think that's like, I think everyone who's a dead fan would be like, yeah, duh, no shit. What did you think of Space Jam 2?

I haven't seen it yet. Okay, what do you think of the idea of Space Jam 2? Fine, it's a dead fan would be like, yeah, duh, no shit. What'd you think of Space Jam 2? I haven't seen it yet. Okay, what do you think of the idea of Space Jam 2? Fine, it's a kid's movie. Anyone who's mad at it, you suck. You're trash. If you're 35 and you're mad at LeBron James and Space Jam 2, get a life. Go for a walk. Yeah, I was like... It's for 12-year-olds.

It's fucking Looney Tunes. I was judging his acting for a second. I'm like, stop. He plays basketball. Yeah, I was like... It's for 12-year-olds. Yeah, I was like... It's fucking Looney Tunes. I was judging his acting for a second. I'm like, stop. He plays basketball. Yeah, stop. He's actually not a bad actor for a basketball player. No, I mean... His Saturday Night Live episode's good.

I had to keep backing myself up. I'm like, Andy, this is a movie for six-year-olds. Exactly. Chill out. But don't ruin it for me. I don't want to know who wins at the end. No? Well, I don't want to. Don't spoil it for me i don't want to know who wins at the end no well i don't want to don't spoil it um if you get mad he's one of the better athletes to do snl right yeah no did he do yeah he

Peyton Manning. No, no, Peyton Manning. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He is hilarious and stuff. Yeah, that's why he has his own show on ESPN every year. Yeah. A new one every year. He was great.

Remember the fake commercial where he's throwing the ball at the kids? Yeah. It's just so good, man. Anyway. Nick. Yeah, this episode's really about nothing, y'all. We start with Nick and then I got high

with comedian Todd Glass and Kyle Ayers. And that was the first time we all got to hang out since the quarantine. That's cool. Yeah, it was cool. I went to Todd's house.

Two very funny guys. Yeah, way too smart. And, you know, I tried to get deep and they're like, shut the fuck up. Just hang out with us. People don't like

getting deep that much. No, just comedians just put me up on my bullshit because they're like, shut the fuck up. Just hang out with us. People don't like getting deep that much. No, just comedians just put me up on my bullshit because they're on 20,000 podcasts. Oh, yeah, that's true. They're like, dude, shut up. Just have... Am I depressed?

Yeah, I asked them. Oh, my God. It's pretty funny. I make fun of you for doing that all the time, though. Are you depressed? Am I depressed? Fuck you, Andy.

Did you miss me? It's like, do you want to know if I missed you, or do you want to know if people miss you? They don't. They can't. How's Denver been, Nick? It's fine. It's been pretty warm.

Yeah, it's hot as fuck out here. Someone tried to steal a wheel off my car the other day. What? Like in the middle of the night. Like a robber? Well, yeah. Like they can take the wheel and sell it for whatever.

I came out and my tire was slashed and all the lug nuts were off. What? I know. Are you serious? Yeah. Why would I?

What area do you live? I live in City Park. It's pretty nice, but you know. What? I mean, I've lived there for like six years and it's the first time

anything's happened. It's not like a bad area. I actually live by a bunch of, you know... Maybe someone caught them. Probably, because I live right off of a pretty main street. It's a dumb parking lot to do it in. Very stupid area. Was anyone else's car fucked up?

Do you think it was someone... I think our wheels were like... It's like a different kind of wheel. Do you have any haters in the town? I doubt it. No? I don't think I'm successful enough for haters. Maybe hot enough.

So anyway, I mean, that's whatever. Just got to get a new tire. That's all that happened. You played with Big Something last week? Yeah. I never really met those guys. What did you think? I met them.

They're cool. They're good at what they do. No, like what do you, as people? Oh, yeah, they're cool bros, right? North Carolina, southerner. They got a southerner vibe. You sentner they got a southern picture of nick i'm like tell him i want you to suck him off he's a nice guy he's a good guy we have the same name yeah nick and nick a lot of nicks out there have you been going to shows have they been getting packed i've been going to shows have you been playing i went to columbus and did some gigs oh yeah yeah the super band that was

Good time, man. Good vibes. What was it? We were literally there a week before you were. Columbus is great. I love it. It's just one of those towns. It's on the rise, I feel like.

People are saying it's a growing city. I don't know. I don't have the data in front of me. Yeah. It's a the rise, I feel like. People are saying it's a growing city. I don't know. I don't have the data in front of me. Yeah. It's a college town, but it also has a city around it, so it's not too much of a college town, but there's college people there. It's Midwest people, a.k.a. the best people in America.

Did you have any fans? Yeah, it was good. Yeah, because you're in Indiana, so that's like... Three hours away. We played in Columbus so many times. What, at Woodlands? Yeah, all those places. Work festival what's the difference between midwest fans and western fans like i think that midwest fans first of all they have jobs so they're excited to be there on friday night this is like their thing they're doing for the week okay yeah in denver

it's like this is my third concert who's this you? You know what I mean? I don't know. You know how people are here. Which they're great, too. So they're just way more rowdy. Yeah. It's fun. Have you taken any drugs, psychedelics? I don't take psychedelics, really. Have you partied at all?

I smoked some weed, had a couple drinks. You're writing? What are you doing? I've been writing a lot of stuff. I'm finishing my website for my cult, and uh been starting so sketches for you yeah we're doing maybe shit show season three baby and i'm trying to you know just get little stuff together for the talent show to fill time that's what we need to talk about too so we have a lot of things to talk about today first yeah we'll have to cut this up into beginning in the end or something

Who's your second favorite co-host after me? I like Lyle. Yeah, I didn't listen to one with Lyle. Lyle's cool because he pumps me up. He's a good vibe in general.

It was fun to have him on tour. I can't wait to have you on tour. We're going to be with each other for three months. You might hate me after this tour. Nah, I don't wait to have him on tour. I can't wait to have you on tour. We're going to be with each other for three months. You might hate me after this tour. Nah, I don't really do that. You might get in a fight with Ernie. I'm just going to be able to just like, I'm kind of on my own a little enough where I don't have to be there

doing your sound checks. I'm going to have time to just go for a walk. All right, this is something also I want to talk about. I'm not going to get in a fight with Ernie. Stop. Stop it. First of all, Ernie would destroy me. Would you fight him?

No. Dude, he's like 6'2", right? He's 6'1". And he's not slender. He's got some muscle to him. You heard it first. No, I'm not fighting Ernie. The Frasco Federation Corp.

At the end of the tour, it is Nick Gerlach versus Ernie. I don't think Ernie wants to fight. Ernie's like a good guy, right? Ernie's a good guy. He has a lot on his mind right now, so think Ernie wants to fight. Ernie's like a good guy, right? Ernie's a good guy. He has a lot on his mind right now, so he's not going to fight anybody. Uh-oh. Let's not talk about his personal life on your podcast.

He just has a new life for him. But I don't want to fight Ernie. Number. But I don't want to fight Ernie. Number one, I don't want to fight Ernie. Who would you fight in the band? Okay. Who do you think is the easiest win? First of all, your band is not a band I really... I haven't been in a fight in a long time.

You're not supposed to really get in fights in your 30s and shit. But it used to be fun to get in fights, right? But your band has a lot of guys where it's like But it used to be fun to get in fights, right? Yeah. But your band has a lot of guys where it's like, not a lot of guys you want to fight, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, bass player looks like he wants to get hit. You know what I mean?

Yeah, Floyd. Like, he took his pants off. You know what I mean? Like, that guy doesn't give a fuck. Where's he from again? Boston. Oh, no. Not fighting him. Okay, Ernie, too Boston. Oh, no. Not fighting him.

Okay, Ernie. Too big. He's strong. He seems very strong. Sean is the craziest. I know. He might kill someone. I know, but I'm picking Sean. Here's why.

Because of that. I think he could use it against him. Well, for the first fight. Yeah. If I had to pick someone, Andy, I don't want to fuck with either. He's got a very don't fight me energy to him. Yeah, yeah. I think it's Sean.

And just because you're all bad, but I wouldn't want to fight any of you. You're all big and you're all kind of crazy. All right, Nick. Hold on. Here's why I'm picking Sean. I think I could use his unbridled crazy energy against him. Okay, like mind fuck him. Yeah, or like,

use it to run the wall or something. Now he's becoming, like, really the guitar. He's like, he's getting booked on everything. Yeah, he's good at guitar and he's a great performer. Shout out to Sean.

Sean! Let's go, bud. He's just a charmer. Denver! Denver loves Sean. I bet he accidentally charms women all the time and he doesn't realize he does.

Well, he's a good looking dude. He charms me all the time. There's just something about him. You're like, I want to be around this guy. Sean's time. He doesn't realize he does. Well, he's a good-looking dude. He charms me all the time. There's just something about him. You're like, I want to be around this guy. He's hot. Someone's hot. He's a fucking hot guy. He's a hot guy.

I fuck with that. There's a reason his wife is much younger than him. It's because he's fucking hot. He's a hot guy. We've got to talk about the talent show. Yeah, people are signing up. Are they? Yeah.

You want more, though? We need way more. What talents don't have any people? We still have plenty of time, to be fair. I'm not freaking out. How many towns have the most talent? Denver does. L.A. has a few.

There's a bunch with one or two in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh, Vermont. One dude came up to me. There's some funny shit that people are going to do. Yeah. One people is... I'm trying to get this horse girl. A horse girl said she talked to you about about it at pete she like can run and imitate a horse and jump like it's denver at denver i'm gonna have that and then there's i'm gonna work on a wrestler i got some burlesque people there's a pogo stick yeah that's the guy

i met oh he's coming to denver no the wrestler no the pogo stick guy no that's a girl maybe tell him to email me all right people you can't just show up see there's all these people that said they've talked to you about it or something no you have to fucking email the thing like this is a real professional talent show come on this is a we're giving out trophies i'm getting paid this isn't just an old bar like don't be a stupid fucking hippie send the email set it up let's set it up so where can you find the talent show? WorldSavingTalentShow at gmail.com And it's not me, people.

It's not Andy. Don't be like, hey Andy. No. This is Nick's. He doesn't have fucking time to email you. I don't have time to do the talent show. I have time. Nick has time. I have time. So Nick. I'm also a very good communicator. I'm just letting you know this. You're going to put. I know. I'm doing all the front end. I'll show you. I have a fucking spreadsheet, bitch. Okay, Nick. I'm also a very good communicator. I'm just letting you know this.

I'm doing all the front end. I'll show you. I have a fucking spreadsheet, bitch. Okay, good. Because if you come out there and you just feel like you're bombing, because you'll bomb in some towns in the beginning. And I'm going to end up in there with you in the trenches for 20 minutes trying to dig you out of a hole. I know it's going to bomb sometimes,

but I don't think it's going to be my fault if it bombs. We need people to sign up. That's the thing. We need people to sign up. I know you're going to come out. I have other games too to fill time if we have to, but in my dreams it's all talent people. We're going over almost because it won't take that much.

Are you nervous? No. I'm not nervous. I'm excited. Do you have a backup plan when there's not enough talent people? Yeah, we'll do like true. I like just like what we did in the pre-party for the TV show. So I'm going to be able to, I'm going to come up there all the time. You can. Or I had other games where I was going to be like, I have this one game where it's like,

I want to get a millennial, you know, because I've noticed you have a bunch of different age groups. Yeah. Do you want to ruin it? Yeah. It doesn't matter. It doesn't need to be a surprise because it might get them more excited about it so you know how everybody's arguing about generations right now yeah and so i noticed you have a wide berth of age groups at your shows yeah it's like

eight to eighty it's like you're a fucking board game you're a board game on wheels um i want to do like pick a gen Z and a millennial and a Gen X and hopefully there'll be a boomer out there. You think you get boomers? I got a bunch of boomers. 50s, 60s? Yeah. And see who knows the most about other people's generations.

And then we'll see. Oh, that's a good game. Yeah. Okay. I'm good. I'm good at that. Yeah. All right, Nick.

Nick, you're working on this thing. I got that and the trivia game. We could do Are You Smarter Than Andy Frasco sometimes. Okay. But I was thinking if you don't want to come out because sometimes you're just... I don't want to make you come out there much. I know what it's like to have to do a show for two sets.

It doesn't blow, but there's a lot you've got to do. And I'm willing to. I know, but... So I have another game where I want it to be them versus you, but all the answers for you is what I think you would say. I love that. Yeah, yeah. So you're in but you're not you don't have to go on stage yeah but also knowing you there's gonna be nights where you want to go on stage yeah because you know how you are yeah you like to get out there with the people you're a man of the people yeah i am it's gonna be hard as you get more famous i was thinking about this

the other day it's been hard i i went to not to gas you up because i don't want to ever do that because you know i don't want to ever make you appreciate yourself um i went to billy and the kids in denver yeah you know and uh dude i'm getting recognized for being around you no way like the tv show or what are the podcasts even the podcast in columbus it happened and definitely i want to go to red rock shows let Let's fuck you. Dude, we're moving up, dude. Let's go. Well, you are, and I'm going to ride those coattails. But I do work, you know? That's the thing. No, honestly, you're my riding partner.

Yeah, I'm an engine, you know? You are. And I think we work together good. That's why we're doing season three of the shit show. I'm a reliable guy from the Midwest. Hell yeah. We show the fuck up. You do.

Those Germans wouldn't be waiting on me. So by showing the fuck up, if people show up early, I hope they do. For the fall tour, guys, grab your tickets. I could also just DJ if there's only 25 people there or something. Who knows? But I'd rather not do that. I could just talk to people in the crowd. Fuck it.

I might just get the mic out and just ask people in the crowd what they've been doing this week. A lot of these shows are three-fourths full. That's good. In tickets, pre-sales. I think people are going to come early because it's only like a half-hour thing. So it's not like a two-hour opening band thing. But I think my trivia games are good ideas.

I like it. Anything where you can get people interacting, you know? So how are people, if say someone has a dope talent and they go to the show, how does one win the talent show? Who decides? So I've been thinking about this. I haven't really decided this yet.

I want to do it by crowd noise because I think it's just hilarious. And then I think that I will – but I'll make some rules where I am the emperor of this game, so maybe I can overrule any decision if I feel like it. If I just completely disagree with the crowd – because you know me. I don't mind being hated by a bunch of people. It's actually pretty fun.

So I think we'll do crowd noise, you know, and then if I decide that I don't agree with the crowd or if it's close, I can be the tiebreaker. What do you think of that? I like it. Well, that's the easiest way to do it. I want to get a visual component too, maybe some kind of projector where I can put,

if I do trivia, have questions or just pictures. Yeah, we should definitely work that out. That can't be very if I do trivia, have questions or just, yeah, we should definitely picture. That can't be very hard to do. What about, um, any musicians signing up? Yeah, there's no bands. We've talked about this,

but only solo artists can do it. It's just, we don't have the space and stuff. What about comedians? Comedians? I've got three or four comedians already. I can't wait. I want to get as many comedians as possible.

So if you think, you know, a lot of them are going to be bad and that's, that's fun to make fun of them, you know? Oh, like new people? You can't... Okay. I'm not going to be mean to people.

Don't be mean. They are... I'm not going to be mean. I don't want to get murdered. I know. I feel like that's a great way to get murdered is like if you're mean to someone who's like... You should call Kyle. But it's fun to see a bad comedian.

You should call Kyle and you should take a comedy lesson from him. I might. Just to know how to be mean but funny. I'm not going to be mean to people. Promise? I might be mean to you or myself or the band or the sound guy. Yeah. You don't punch down.

Do you have any questions? I don't like punching down. That's why I like making fun of you. Seemingly you're above me or at least equals. We're equal. Yeah, that's why it's fun like making fun of you you're you know yeah seemingly you're above me or you're at least equals we're equal yeah that's why it's fun to make fun of you do you have any questions um we could go through right now i don't have any questions i just just touring and let's just get it going man yeah let's just get more people going it's next month well i'm gonna bring them up no it's september oh it's like two it's a one and a half uh september 8th is my first date you just think it's that because you have other like festivals are you excited i'm excited i'm

i'm ready to get the fuck out there yeah me too we'll bring them up it'll be just classic ed mcmahon star shirt style bring them up interview them that'll be funny just asking them questions you know yeah um because it's going to be interesting people yeah i think you're going to blow through this 40 minute set i think it's gonna i think it's going to be interesting people. Yeah. I think you're going to blow through this 40-minute set. I think it's going to be more like half an hour. Okay, that's fine. No, we can do whatever. No, we can do 30.

30 or 40. If it goes 40, it'll go 40. You know what I mean? Or if it goes 20, don't feel like you have to stretch time. That's the thing. If you feel like that show... I want it to be good, not long. Yeah, if you feel like that show is

is slim on the talent like let's say there's three people we'll do a 20 minute thing 20 minute thing see that's why and start later and then more people are there see that's why you're that's why you're where you're at you think about the show not how much time can i feel people are gonna stand there and drink if they're there they bought a ticket yeah they don't want to see you be annoying up there and fill time. They'd rather talk to their friends. Do you have any guest judges

that might show up to shows? I want to do that. You know, I'm going to approach that as we go. We could probably get like Bayless if he's in town. Chicago, yeah.

Chicago. We'll get Stasek. We could get... Stasek. Yeah, I don't think we're going there though. Oh, fuck. No, you're coming

to holidays with us. Joel. Aren't you coming to holidays with us? I don't think so. I don't think I'm going to, though. Oh, fuck. No, you're coming to holidays with us. Joel. Aren't you coming to holidays with us? I don't think so. I don't think I'm going to do that at holidays. Why not? It's a trip to Mexico. Talent show at holidays?

Yeah. They already pitched me on it. Oh, well, maybe they should talk to me about it at some point. Well, I'm your agent. I'm trying to get you money. All right. All right. Chill, chill, chill.

Calm. Daddy's got you. I don't want to go to Mexico. Are you fucking kidding me? It's December. I'm going to wear pants. You know, actually, chill, chill. Come. Daddy's got you. I don't want to go to Mexico. Are you fucking kidding me? It's December. I'm going to wear pants. You know, actually, you got a point. It's going to be the end of the tour.

I know. I kind of don't want to go. And you just want to go home, make love. Yeah. How's your girlfriend doing? She's great. Yeah? How's that bad bitch, that dog?

Oh, man, you love my dog, Kino. I love your dog, dude. Your dog is tight. Where'd you meet her? Oh, I picked you up at the airport. You picked me up at the airport and you brought her. She's so chill, right? Yeah, she's sweet.

She's great. She had a bone. She's had a bone lately. She gets very protective of her bone. It's pretty funny. If you walk near it, she jumps over it. She's a great dog. She's 13.

Sign up to the town. I'll talk about my dog some more. When you're on tour with me, you should just be my co-host for every episode when we're on tour. Oh, yeah, baby. You want to do that? Yeah. All right. Don't try to ask for more money. I'm giving you a lot of money for this tour. Oh, yeah, baby. You want to do that? Yeah. All right. Don't try to ask for more money.

I'm giving you a lot of money for this tour. I'm not going to ask for any money to do the podcast. This is not... People don't make money doing podcasts. That's true. That's true. But thank you, Nick. That was great.

You're welcome. Nick... I'll be on again soon. Yeah, probably every week now. I'm coming home. I'll be home all month of August. Really? Oh, we're going to...

Yeah, you're going to help me make this show too. What? Just... We're going to work it out a little bit together. You need to be invested in it. It's part of your whole package. No, no, I'm in. No, I'm in, I'm in.

That's what I like about you. You give me a little bit of a net. Yeah, I got you. I don't want to let you fall. I want you to know what's going on. It can't be we're just in Tulsa the first night. I wonder what this is going to be like. No, no, no.

We're in this together. We'll get some gags. We'll get a couple of gags. No, no. We're in this together. Yeah. I'm in this with you. I don't want you to do like five minutes in.

Ladies and gentlemen, Andy Frasco. I'll never do that. So give me like, I'll be at the end. You know, I'll be at the end. If you even want to. I feel like you can just decide if you want to come out. No, I'm really excited. I can give a mic off the side stage.

I'm back. Yeah. I can play God. But I also like God voice. Oh, yeah. I want to get your band out there more than you almost. I really think I have to introduce you in the beginning of the night like I do with Kyle, too. Yeah, I've never seen that, so I don't know what you do.

It kind of just calms the crowd down. Well, it kind of lets them know like, hey, we're having a talent show. But I might do that with, I don't know. That's what we'll talk about after this podcast. That'll be easy. All right. We'll kind of let them know, like, hey, we're having a talent show. But I might do that with, I don't know. That's what we'll talk about after this podcast. That'll be easy. All right. You got any optimism before we get high with Frasco?

Don't steal from people. Don't slash their tires and try to take their. It's annoying. Now, I have a whole fucking day. You didn't even get the fucking wheel, you pussy. You did it wrong, by the way. I know how to do it. You did it wrong.

I'm not going to say what you did wrong, because then you'll learn. Enjoy Todd Glass. They don't even have a jack. No, what an asshole. Alright, whatever. Alright. Well, enjoy me, Glass, and Ayers getting high at Todd's house. Bye. They're all dead. It's been 45 days.

Sit your ass down, Todd. Jesus fucking Christ. It's your show. This is the worst idea for me to be the host of this fucking shit show that's happening. Legally, you can't call this the shit show. I know. Otherwise, you'll sue yourself. Andy, I'm going to interrupt.

All right, here we go. Interruption incoming in four, three... You say it sounds weird. No, it doesn't have to sound weird because this is your show. Right before we started the podcast, I said, Andy, this is your... And then you go

it's why is it weird just may pretend take over you've been in here before hosting your own show yeah how you doing fuck it up we're here we're in uh is this like your living room or like what is this now this is my podcast studio i know but why would you call this anything other than that a podcast studio because if i would want my living room to be a podcast studio. Well, thank you. You know what? I wouldn't mind living in here. I thought about having

a bed in here. It's probably fun. A Murphy bed could work. Honestly, you always have the best vibes. Thank you. Thank you. I don't look for it.

Enough with that. He's waving his hand to keep saying it, but he's saying enough with that out into the microphone. But he's doing like a gesturing us towards him. So you know what?

You asked me. I said I had some comedian friends coming over tonight. Of course, Jack Hackett sits over there. Cam Gavinsky is over here. And I brought some heat as well. I know. I brought Kyle Ayers. And you brought Kyle Ayers. And we're all in the studio in a circle, but I said

it's your thing, so over to you. Once Todd's monologue's over, do your thing. You still got another 10, 15 minutes? Once the cue card, there's a couple cue cards left. I really do like

how you set up this pad. Yeah. It looks good. It's really nice. I think you're set up. Todd, are you depressed? No, what? This is my show.

Yeah. You know, that really does knock the wind out of me. Yeah. I was going to sit back and, you know, here's what my intentions were. Sit back, Todd, and prove you can shut up. He was leaning back in the chair. He said, I'm not going to talk often. And Andy said, hey, Todd, the question that needs the longest response.

Yes. Yes. Yes. Thank you. Thank you, Kyle. Todd's like, I'll be, Kyle. Todd's like, I'll be quiet. And he's like,

Todd, therapy? And the answer to that question, if I prove maybe I don't just like to hear a sound in my voice,

the answer to my question is no. Awesome. I get into funks. I get into funks. I can get out of those. But thank God or thank whatever.

I don't want to say nature or whatever. But it feels good because I remember when this quarantine first hit, we couldn't even touch each other. We kept separated. We hung out once, right, in LA?

And we were all six feet away from each other. Everybody had a different experience with it. So some people weren't doing that. But yeah, I don't know. Someone told me that you can get it from just uh letting somebody that has a cough on you for 20 minutes just from that you can get it thank you no but uh yeah i uh but we saw each other we hung out but we did we did it distance did we hang out

we hung out outside you didn't trust me because i just got back from the tour you didn't trust him because you know him and know how him that's we don't blame the tour you didn't trust me because I just got back from the tour. You didn't trust him because you know him and know him. You don't blame the tour. You didn't trust me because of how you knew I definitely was. There's something about everything I've ever done that made you not trust me. Right, exactly. People you were

most afraid of are the ones that didn't care about anything. You're like, yeah, I wiped that mic down with alcohol. I don't care. Actually, I brought my own dirty mic from the venue. Yeah, that's why I'm in a booth. Because of you. If you don't care, you're the one I want to be scared of. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. You know, oh, I'm sorry.

I don't give a shit. I know I have it. I don't. Go. I got a question for all you comedians. Don't scoot away from the table. Because every time I'm afraid, now I'm scared to ask questions. I answered you and I answered you honestly.

He did. Kyle, are you depressed? Yeah, for sure. No, I got a bunch more questions I got to ask. On paper, they will look similar. But he's going to say your name at the top. I came up with a really creative way to lead into got to ask. On paper, they will look similar. But he's going to say your name at the top. I came up with a really creative way to lead into the second ask.

All the hard-hitting questions from the last seven podcasts. I know. He asked me if I would take some other question last time. No one saw that, but Todd was talking into a pretzel

and about to eat a microphone. Oh, my God. Why do I always go? I always go. So this is what's problem with my podcast. No problem. No, no, no. This is a problem with your wildly successful podcast.

This is the flaw in the thing that makes me money. Why do I always I always go to the i just when i want to get to know someone even if i barely like i barely met you what's your name my name's cam what's up dog i'm frasco we're shaking hands for the listeners at home i knew they'd get along you know what i'm saying though like do you ever like go just straight for the juggler when you meet someone new yeah like you feel more comfortable opening up yeah just like kind of just like get it out get the fucking right like you just met cam opening up. Just like get it out. Get the fucking... Right, like you just met Cam and you asked him a real question

instead of asking me the same question you just asked someone else in front of me that you've asked me today. Hey, Andy, there's no problem with your question. Be you. Your questions are great. Even though I act all, you know, oh, Andy, it's all a shtick.

Mine's not a shtick. They really lead into good comedy. Are you depressed? Last time you... I don't know where he goes, are you addicted to sugar? I go, are you kidding me? Are you joking? I didn't know if he was joking or not. I'll answer you, but why?

Andy's sweating. He's got the word sugar written on his hand. I don't know if I am. And I don't want to just talk to talk. I already know I have a problem talking too much. So then I go, should I not answer this? I go, well, you know, funny, I never thought about it if I'm addicted to sugar. I like sweet things.

You know, I wasn't thinking about that. I was just excited to see my friend for the first time in a year. But instead, this is what you brought. Andy's great. I jumped in a van and shoved mushrooms in my mouth with this. Yeah. I wouldn't do that. You did it for months. Yeah. I think it a van and shoved mushrooms in my mouth with this. Yeah. I wouldn't do that. He did it for months.

I think it was months, maybe a year. I don't remember, but the pandemic started afterwards. Oh, I don't think I've talked to you about this yet. Todd, remember the idea? We always wanted you to kind of open for us and do some comedy. Kyle did that for months. He and I talked about it. Well, we talked about it.

The Royal Rumble. Have you guys talked about the Royal Rumble? No So we did this whole tour with two bands Let me know what you think of this idea We did Big Something and Andy Frasco and the UN And I was opening And it was like a wrestling themed show We had a very loose idea going into the first one

So I'd host the show, I'd just stand up And then I would change into like a leopard I'd look like a manager, like a wrestling manager. And I would bring them up with positive wrestling introductions, like super hyped up. I don't even remember. I have them all on my phone. And they're really, really fun things to do.

But you bring them up with super hyped music and introductions that were all like, I run that compliment contest. These are all like compliments, like roast jokes but nice bring them all up hype everyone up they're in wrestling masks they're in like lucha libre mask the band is in like lucha libre everybody you wrestling theme everyone's doing every show i've got belts i have like best guitar and then like beer chugging contest winner and then like crowd surf race belts we have like five wrestling belts that i so in the middle of the sets like stone cold steve austin i would interrupt the set and be like hold on hold on hold on in the middle of a fucking song like hold on i come back out on stage the whole manager

garb and i'm like i'm like andy frasco and the un like just like start roasting him and he come out and i'm like i got a guy back here who could kick sean's ass at guitar boom out comes the guitar player for big something lucha libre mask they do a shred contest winner gets the belt thrown around them and beer pour whatever three or four interruptions per set yeah and we go in first show we go into this there's like 30 shows we go into this like this would be funny by show two i'm getting thrown through a table every single show i would we would like get we would buy sheetrock and every town town this is like crazy andy in a good way jumped off of a ladder through me through a table at rock and roll and every show and so every night we went into it like this would be funny if this works and then people follow the tours right

with bands like andy, they follow them. So night to night, we were doing callbacks like it was raw and then smacked it. Like every night, we're like, well, the other night, Ben Vinograd did this, and now someone comes out of the chair and like hits them or something. It was... We built all these like arcs. Like story arcs.

Like story arcs. Every character was having all these arcs. And then there was like an overarching thing of like closing shows and playing this thing. And then I would interrupt like during the encore at some point. And that's when I get smacked with a chair, thrown into the crowd, thrown through a table. I love this because I know I love the theater of whatever you want to call it. But the part about wrestling that – because I didn't care about the wrestling growing up.

I cared about the little stuff. I always liked the managers. I didn't care about the wrestling growing up. I cared about the little stuff. Yeah. I always liked the managers. I didn't care about the managers. But I wanted to know, I always did. I would ask my brother if it was real. Like, that was sort of just. But, and I like the, I went to a few of those shows, and they're having so much fun.

And I know the energy of Andy, so I can only imagine, like, together. Oh, I would fuck. When were you going to do that? We did that for a month and a half. This was right the energy of Andy, so I can only imagine together. I would fuck... When were you going to do that? This was right before COVID. Are you going to do it somewhere in LA? We have one reunion show in North Carolina. Honestly, the funniest part is it doesn't really say... We're not

hyping it as a Royal Rumble show, but people see the lineup, and they loved the tour so much, they're like, are they going to wrestle each other? That's the most selling tickets of the whole tour. they're like, are they going to wrestle each other? That's the most selling tickets of the whole tour. We've sold a thousand tickets so far. It's going to be so fun. That's a lot of work too, right? It really wasn't. It was a ton of work.

Not for you. I did a ton of work. I wrote a whole show every day. I saw one time. I didn't tell you this. Do you do songs too? We do. Yeah, we do a set. We had to change up the whole set every night because that tour everyone like kyle's right everyone would show up like i didn't stand up at the first because i would do a real stand-up set every night as well like 25 minutes of stand-up second show i told like two jokes that i'd done the night before and people

clapped and other people laughed whatever and then people go we were there last night and i was like how many people were at the show last night? Everyone clapped. So this is, people don't think about this a lot. I've opened for music. I've opened for Andy like 50 times. Yeah. The thing is, it's different if you're opening for a band and they travel in New City. His audience follows him.

So after the first night, I started doing 25 minutes of legit only crowd work every night for a month and a half. Insane, dude. And like crushing. The end of the tour, it was the best I've ever felt. I recorded my album in December. I did Conan in January. I toured for the whole end of January, whole month of February. This is in 2020.

I'm like, this is the best I'll ever be at comedy. It's like March 8th of 2020. I'm like, I want to get on stage every night. The world ended and I'm not good anymore. But it was crazy. We did crowd work every night, and then I would change into a manager costume, and then we would just watch them. They would beat each other up and play in each other's bands based on the stories.

I fucking love it. This is right up my alley. I enjoy watching. Even when I went to see a ska band up in newport beach there's a real big fish i forget who they were but they did a lot of stuff and i just couldn't i mean we were high at the beach at night and they had costumes and they were fighting each other and it's just and they sounded great too that's the other thing they sounded you know they had like good horn section but it was fucking doing it for me yeah and it was like all this theatrics and they were fighting

somebody would come from the crowd, the spotlight would hit them, and then they'd get into a fight. We'd have to get sheetrock. We'd have to get the runners at every venue to get a sheetrock. Yeah. Some of the venues who already knew our band, they thought, yeah, Frasks here needs sheetrock. We got like bags of Coke.

Someone's gone. It was a bags of Coke. Someone's gone. Someone gave us a bag of Coke. It was in Charlotte, right? First time we're in Charlotte. I'm like, we need to get sheetrock for this thing. And so the kid's like, okay. It's like, what do they call him? Like a runner.

Like a kid who works at the venue. And it's been like two hours. And we're like, Home Depot's five minutes away. How's this guy not get sheetrock? And so someone's texting him. And he's like, yeah, yeah, yeah. How much do you want? And they're like a quarter inch.

Because we assume he means the thickness. So someone texts this guy like a quarter. And so he's gone him and he's like, yeah, yeah, yeah. How much do you want? And they're like a quarter inch. Cause we assume he means the thickness. So someone texts has got like a quarter. And so he's gone for like three more hours. And then we're like, where the, we need this. The show's in like what? A half hour. This kid walks in with so much cocaine. So like a, like a weed amount of cocaine.

And we're like, what? And he goes, is she sheetrock? Cause he Googled what is sheet rock and urban dictionary is like it's a slang term for cocaine and then this doesn't do like this kid had to like find a drug dealer. It's not even like he knew a drug dealer. He doesn't smoke cigarettes and he's like I

have to find a drug dealer stand the job cocaine on an hour's notice and then we said we send him to Home Depot after all that we're like leave that and they go to Home Depot. Can you return that before my bandmates find it? They love Coke. Yeah, but that's another conversation.

So that brings me back to my question. Are you depressed? No, what were you going to say? Yeah, it was a lot of work. That's where this all started from. Andy said it was because they follow you, so you have to write a new show every night. It's not like Hamilton.

It taught me a lot about changing my set because that was the first time ever fans started showing up to more than one gig for us and they'd show up for like 10 13 shows in a row and they're like day seven what do you got we're like fuck my god what do we got what do we got so we're writing a new show in a van every night. I mean, that's how we got confidence. Kyle's one of the best writers on the planet, and that gave me confidence. He helped me write the shit show in quarantine, during the quarantine. Remember that? I loved it.

I saw some clips and loved it. It was a good time. How are you doing, Todd? I'm eating peanut butter pretzels. I know. To be honest, I told you before the show. It was a good time. How are you doing, Tom? I'm eating peanut butter pretzels. I know. I know. To be honest, I told you before the show that if it's not my show, I'll smoke more than I would normally smoke. Because on my show, you feel like you have to navigate it.

But I'm like, tonight I don't have to. You're not steering the ship. I'm not steering the ship. So I smoked, and I got some pot liquid, and I had it. And I had some real pot, and then had that pot liquid and I had a tequila and we all had tequila. It's good. And I'm feeling good. So I'm loving being here, but just on the quiet side.

I get really excited about ideas when I get high. Yeah? Like when we're talking about the Royal Rumble and stuff and I'm excited about to talk to comedians about doing a comedy thing so that I get super hyped. Do you have any advice for me, Todd? Yes. I told you.

What is it? You need a suit. No. The told you. What is it? You need a suit. No. No. The worst advice. Advice? Do you really want advice, Andy? No, I don't want advice.

I know. See, so don't bother me. Just give him a toss. No, I want to. Give him the secret. For years ago, one day I'm going to give him the secret. Every time I come here, I feel like it's for a reason. I'm smarter.

No, not. No, smarter than I was before. Not than you. Not than you. That's his advice. That's his advice. That sounded mean, and you know I didn't mean it that way. I said I'm smarter, meaning then the last time we had this conversation, I think I've come further with it.

I'm not called not smarter than you. Last time I came here with Dolov, and I was really depressed. I was like, I don't know. It was right before the Royal Rumble Tour, and I was just burnt out and just asking you questions. Now I'm at a different point in my life. I don't feel burnt out. I feel great about my career.

I haven't talked to you in a little bit. I'm wondering if being happy is okay. Yeah, it's okay. Of course it is. Yeah? You know, sometimes I'll crave some Andy Fresco, so I'll go on to YouTube and just push in, and something comes up.

Sometimes I've seen it. I'll watch it again. It's funny. There's something I like, and I'll watch over and over and over. And there's one from the UN. It was a really good one. The whole crowd starts moving back and forth,

and there's like 20,000 people. It's just so cool to watch. It's so much control to have over an audience. And they're all, and it's such a positive energy. Like, when you watch, you really get people in a good mood. You know, that's a lot, you know. I think, you know, it's a good energy. So you have good people that come to see that.

And then you can tell it's like a good atmosphere. You know what I mean? That's something someone would say who thinks they're smarter than Andy Frasco. No! Can you use small words? No, I love Andy Frasco. I do. I'm like, sometimes I can't believe we're friends.

I know, Me either. It's crazy. Just all from my ex seeing you at the Denver... But I've always was a fanny. That's so weird about this. You told me when you met me, you said, I'm going to be honest.

You said, I don't know what you do, but get out of my way. I'm in the crowd. Walking around No Andy texted me The first time He was going to hang out With you I'm like

Todd Glass Keeps hitting me up No I don't remember Like that I remember you With a sign Outside the improv Please I need help

I need this Todd I need this I need promotion Somehow with less shoes on Negative pair of shoes if you were homeless. So anyway, I feel... But is it okay to be happy? Of course it's okay.

Why do I feel guilty being happy? Well, you shouldn't. If you feel guilty, then, you know, guilt isn't going to do anything. Then give more to charity. Yeah? Or even Kyle. Or Kyle. We're making lists.

Give some money to Cam. Give him $200. Give Cam $200. Seriously, 100 bucks. Give're making lists. Give some money to Cam. Give him $200. Give Cam $200. That's Jack. I don't have $200. I don't have $200. I knew it. Pull out your wallet.

Pull out your wallet. Looks like the dance party's back. Oh, shit. Oh, that's funny, dude dude have you seen that what i've been doing during quarantine i've been doing these virtual dance parties fucking 500 000 kids totally whoa on twitch and adults show up and adults yeah it was first on facebook then they moved us to twitch legally i had to ask i don't know why they make me, but he makes me do it. I had to blow the thing to drive and ask. I did 34 episodes.

It built, it built, it built. Just me playing 80s dance music and dancing in a Zoom room, just telling these people they're a bad bitch. It's like Peloton for people. Andy, I fucking love that. Yeah, I'm like, you're a bad bitch, Karen. You fucking get those dance moves. Because everyone's in their living room.

Everyone's sad. I want to fucking pump them up. See, that's positive. I love it. Two people got married because of it. They met via the dance party and got married live at a Frasco show. I let him on stage, and he talked. He was kind of like low-key talking shit about me.

Andy let this guy propose during a set at a festival in Florida. Yeah. And I mean, three or four seconds in, you're like, honestly, this could have just been backstage. No, he was very nice. She was so nice. He was so sweet. They're the sweetest people. He was just like fucked up because he was nervous.

Yeah, I think it was just nervous. And he's just super fucked up and then starts like, we met at the dance party. Starts like talking shit on Andy a little bit. This bozo was dancing like an idiot. This dumb idiot over here was dancing and I saw one hot chick while this fucking numbskull.

He's like, okay, okay, just propose. Ryan, is it true that Ernie Chang went over and hit him over the head with a saxophone? He put the word out on the street. It's very hard because I've had marriages before. In Germany, I had a marriage

and I didn't understand. It was East Germany. Two other people got married. Andy doesn't have a wife in Germany. These weddings are crazy. Exactly. This guy's East Germany. Proposing on stage. This town called Plow. He's like,

I'd like to marry her on stage. And she was like, we were playing Struggle. Like the song Struggle. Do a little bit of Struggle. Are you scared? Bark, bark, bark, bark. I'm scared.

Bark, bark, bark, bark. I'm Andy Fresco. I won't just do... I'll do one of my jokes. You won't do Struggle. Do one of your jokes, Todd. Do one of your jokes. Do you ever just...

I hate that one Oh I don't want to You ever just sing struggle You guys know this one Did you ever just Did you ever eat some Eat some

Eat some I don't know I'm too I can't do any of my jokes It's that weed Sugar we had It's good I'm happy with it

The liquid It's fun I know we don't eat Or eat weed Because it gives me anxiety But I think I'll be fine in there. All right, well, let's take deep breaths. I know.

Remember when Dolov had an anxiety attack at your house? I felt for him. During the podcast, and he mothered him, dude. And he felt better? I knew that I just took a chance and said, I go, is it just you're okay, you're just better left alone? If you need us, you'll get us. Like, you're good

Because a lot of times You ask people Are they okay And me If I'm trying to Get my back Yeah Even if I have to go

Yeah I'm alright It makes me nauseous again No but it's like It's probably like When you had the heart attack And all those people Were saying Are you okay

Are you okay I thought I was just high Yeah who was there Because the same thing happened Who was it I don't like the name drop But did you ever hear of Ergostrata? No.

No. You know, that's funnier than Mike. You've got to get a plant in here. You've got to get a younger. No, because that's great, because that proves, that's meta in a way, I think, because, not meta, but that's double on top of. In other words, I'm saying, did you ever hear of Estrada? Because it's sort of like an outdated,

you know, no offense to Estrada, but it's so outdated, it's even outdated as a reference. It's like outdated as a joke reference. It's outdated as a joke reference. It has to be more like, okay, listen, give me somebody that it would be great.

Pauly Shore? Okay, let me tell you something. If you fucking... I forget the scenario. I was using it in... You ever hear of? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You had a heart attack. You know who had a heart attack? I hate to name drop. Oh, okay.

Well, I hate to fucking name drop, but did you ever... Let me ask you this. Did you ever hear Pauly Shore? Huh? Huh? He was a little like Eric Estrada. He was a little like Eric Estrada. You know him.

You know him. Andy, you're great. I just seemed so positive. I don't want to come off phony. No. I always like when you're around. It's always fun. Well, I love it, man.

I love hanging with you guys. And going back to the optimism thing i was like the reason why i saw you depressed because like i feel like this had been the hardest time for comedians dude because you can't you can't gig and how do you gig you know you probably did your your i saw you do your stream shows and stuff you know i do have a different slant on it and I'm not just doing it to be different, but I'll tell you what I did. What did you do? I thought it was a, look, I would only say this to somebody, it would have been good for them if you consider yourself a serious stand-up comedian. Like, no, you want to be like when you're 70 doing it.

Like, okay, then this is my, I think it was a missed opportunity to do stand up with your podcast sensibilities I was having fun certain nights because when we're here we're not going what's funny how do we know it's funny even if it's me and just you in the room like it will be this Tuesday so use that to do your stand up yeah it's different than having an audience

but it's fun in a way because all you can do is trust your instincts and that could be fun just go by your instincts and if people like it they fucking love it and if they don't they're in their living rooms but like it was it's fun to perform that way just trusting your instincts so i thought it's who could it was like a missed opportunity for a lot of comedians to actually enjoy it as a as a just a treat yeah no no gauging the audience you there's a reason you don't have to you can't so just yeah i almost enjoyed it yeah does that make sense did you enjoy it sometimes i like doing the

shows because it's like i'm rambly on stage i'm very rambly and it just made me feel like tighter while still enjoying it like a podcast sensibility is a perfect way to put it because you're not doing 8 000 offhand tags i mean i was like on zoom but you're fine i'm just found different fun in it than anything else it was like they're playing the same sport different or something yeah like change of positions yeah hell yeah what kind of conditioner do you use um i use stuff that's thick yeah i was just in a shower and i was just in denver for shows and andy lives there and was just in a shower and I was just in Denver for shows and Andy lives there

and I was in the shower because of that. That didn't make it sound any different. That was just the longer end. I got to the same end. And I remember seeing your shampoo and I went and told him, I'm like, I knew you'd have some fun shampoo. And he does. It says, like, thick. Kyle opened for us

at Red Rocks. I know. We talked about it on the show a little. I have a, thick. Kyle opened for us at Red Rocks. I know. We talked about it on the show a little. I have a million questions. So just, oh, no. I forget. No, I want you. No, it's your turn now.

One of his first questions is, Andy, are you depressed? Did you know when you went out? You know sometimes you'll realize right away, oh, this is going well did that like did that happen pretty quick when you got out there i got really lucky in the format of the show there were three musicians i'm always hooking you up yeah andy had this killer idea and it was well received there are three musicians john craigie keller williams and andy and john kind of is like a singer songwriter, like the cool, like a sing, you know, a dude with a guitar and bell bottoms and sandals,

like a singer songwriter. He's great, but he does like, he does some jokes kind of. So Andy has this idea. He's like, why don't you just bring John straight up, dude?

It was supposed to just do set up top. And he goes, bring John up, then do half a set, then bring Keller up, then do half a set, then bring us up. And so instead of me doing whatever up top it was like two giant chunks after and you know how it is at the beginning

especially at a big comes them down and it calmed everyone down because if you go up there first they have to figure out how a show works and like get drinks so i was like it was my best opening for music set comedy wise i think i've ever, at like the worst venue to do comedy. Yeah, Red Rocks. It's so loud. It's an amphitheater. You know how they're doing comedy. Some places are too big.

Most places are too big. Sometimes, yeah. But it didn't feel that way at Red Rocks, did it? I mean, it's the most intimate outdoor place. Everyone's like settled in. And I see people like sitting and listening like leaning on their girlfriends at a fucking 4 000 people and it was really great it was it was it was the first thing how long did you do end up being like 40 yeah so 20 and 20 yeah the first thing i said went like so specifically

well so proud that i was like oh this might actually actually be like really fun and i started doing like visual jokes and like what did i i had craigie come out and do backup vocals on jokes where he was like he would harmonize my punch lines and stuff i'm jealous that's the that's the stuff it was so fun there's a free i like open from because it's like a freedom to um That's a good guy to open for too. Craigie. Yeah. And he doesn't mind Sean. Oh no,

it was John Craigie, the folk songwriter. I've been trying to show you him for years. You'd love him. Don't act like, no you didn't. Yes.

Andy's got a huge crush on that guy. I'm going to make you edit this out. I'm going to make you edit this out because you're going to be embarrassed.

No. But there's no way. If you would have told me to watch it, I would have. Don't act like I'm fighting you. No. But there's no way. If you would have told me we're back, go buy those bidets. If you would have told me to watch it, I would have. Don't act like I'm fighting you. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Todd! You tell me. So how many times have you told me you got to hear this? Every time. I told you about six times about this dude. I'm like, dude, I fucking love John Craig. What's his name again?

They're so close to each other now. John Craig. Maybe you did actually. No, I was... Now that I hear his name for a 30th time. It's a great name. It really is a great name

in itself. Craigie's the best. Well, why don't you lay some in right here, you know, if you love it. Do you have music? No, no, I mean, like, in post. All right, I'll play...

That way Todd never actually has to... You don't have to listen to it. No, I can get it. No, let's talk about that later, though. But he's a comedian, and it was... I just... I felt like you two taught me how to set up a night.

My conversation with you about how to keep from when they walk in to everything, from what he taught me of like, hey, will you introduce me? This is a loud-ass crowd. Let's settle them down. Hey, I walk up there. Hey, yo, yo, yo, bada-bing, bada-boom. Check out my best buddy, Kyle Ayers. Shuts him up.

It rocks it. Big difference. So with that knowledge, I built this show where it just keeps stepping up and up and up. We had Kyle doing the whole night. We had Craigie opening up on just guitar and vocals. Then we had Keller Williams, who is a fucking one-man band. He's awesome. Just the shit, dude. Does everything. He who was fucking one man band, but he's awesome. Just the shit, dude,

does everything. He's the fucking goat. And then we rolled up there. Vinny was there. He said he was fucking great. It was such a, it was just everything worked out so perfectly the way I imagined

a show. It was unbelievable. It was wild. Did you cry? I did. I cried watching Andy. Dude, he texted me in the middle of the set.

He's like, I am so fucking proud of you. I'm like, my fucking dog, dude. It's my dude. I was like, fuck it. I was losing it. I'm like, I can't see my fucking best friend doing like a three. I saw my mom in the front. It was wild.

It was great. I love it. I saw my mom in the front. I'm like, this is for you, mom. I pointed at her for all the hard work you let me. For all the times I had sex with my teachers in high school. All the times I quit college on you. And to fill this dream, I'm glad you're seeing this hard work fucking pay off.

This next one's blame it on the pussy. Sean's like, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun. I always love when I go you know when you go my mom's here so I know I shouldn't do this song she tells me not to do it I love it it's always so funny I love my mom everyone's got a mom

I mean if you're lucky enough your mom showed up my mom came to a show in spring I didn't see my mom yeah year and a half and she showed up to a show on tour in Springfield loudest like I haven't seen her because this is like and a half, and she showed up to a show on tour in Springfield. The loudest. I haven't seen her since Thanksgiving. You know, COVID happened and everything. And she shows up, and I'm railing in some... Springfield's my least favorite town in the whole world.

And I'm screaming. Not screaming, but I'm crazy upset at this lady. And we're going back and forth, and it's crushing. And then I'm just like, look, this lady's got my record. That's my mom's friend. there's my mom my mom's just like sitting at one of the two high tops in the whole venue just like i love it it's been great she's not what were you gonna say she's single did she swing oh just to be silly. She's single.

You're right. That would have been a funny way to get the same effect, but not as disrespectful. Is she single? It's still a little bit. No, she swings. Oh, okay. Is she single?

No. Anyway, I'll cut it. I have a question for you, comedian. So when you're ready to fucking stab at someone from when they're talking, do you think about that joke while you're listening to the conversation, or is it that quick to you all? Like a crowd comeback?

Like a comeback. Like you said, she's single. Have you been waiting to say that for like a minute and a half? He was just hoping you'd keep talking. Wait, what? I'm trying to get in the mind of a comedian. He's like asking if someone in the crowd says something. Yeah, exactly.

Because I'll talk to people. I'm not like a comedian roast heck's like asking if someone in the crowd says something. Yeah, exactly. I'm not like a comedian roast heckler guy. Me neither. I don't want to have fun with somebody. Andy will see it. I'll have fun with them. I'd rather make them be sad. Not right now. When I'm done with the heckler, if he's having a good

time, I said this, I go, here's the problem. You're having fun right now. When you're having fun, I'm not. I go, I want you scared that you're aware that what you're you're having fun right now and when you're having fun i'm not i go i want you scared that you're aware that you're on what you're doing is unnecessary and i've had nights where i like get a little you know i never you know what i'd never do because the only thing i regretted was using in your you know language that has nothing to do with what you're mad at the same thing you learn in a relationship you you apply it to the audience. You don't have to use words like, you know, I'm trying to not give the

word as the example, but, you know, when you have a lack of, before you understand how to say things, you'll say fat, or you're whore, or you're stupid. And then you go, anything that that person did, guy or girl, has nothing to do with those words. So now I just talk about

what I'm angry about. I don't use those words I just go No you should And I just want to Break it down I go you're the bully Not me Because you're loud over there

They're sitting It was one night There was somebody With their arms folded And at one point I feel like they're the bully Come on Because if I was in the first row

Of a show And I wasn't having a good time I put myself in their shoes What would you do? I remember really asking myself that If I went to see a band And I was in the first row I put myself in their shoes. What would you do? I remember really asking myself that. If I went to see a band and I was in the first row and I just didn't like it, what would you do? Unless I'm deluding myself,

I would act pleasant because I'm not a lunatic! Even if I was 17 and I would go to... I remember going to see bands when I was in college age and we wanted to leave and we were sort of near the front so we'd go, you two leave or if we went to see bands when I was in college age and we wanted to leave and we were sort of near the front so we go you two leave or if we went to see a comedy night my friends would go

you leave and then we'll leave yeah because we were like we're still aware there's a show yeah we want to leave but we so that's why you know I'm like what the you know what are you gonna do so did you yell at him I yeah but it doesn't it doesn't make the show good and I don't want to do so did you yell at him yeah but it doesn't it doesn't make the show good and i don't want to do it i don't want to yell anymore i don't want to yell i have a way to deal with it because it even if people agree with you it still sets a bad tone to the night do you think your anger gets the best out of you sometimes yeah when's the your anger got the worst of you When I tried to choke you. No. Well, the long answer is just sometimes going on. I told you not to talk about it.

Damn, I almost had it. I mean, I don't have to give you the details, but what happens is, you know, I have a pretty silly show. It's weird because I do have a pretty silly show, Lighthearted. I want people to feel real good. I try to be all-inclusive and be aware and thoughtful, and I don't do it begrudgingly. I'm happy to grow, and I want my comedy. So in that sense, I'm very,

but it's any disrespect to the show. I have zero tolerance. So what happens is the better the clubs you're at, the more they Cultivate these great audiences It's just by You know you develop You train whatever you want to train

If you go to a club And they're strict as fuck They'll end up getting an audience That's amazing Takes a little longer But like The more they train their audiences The better they are

I don't know What are we talking about? We're talking about Do you hate sharing a kitchen? Oh, no. Shut up. We're talking about good audiences. Talk about your anger issues.

Oh, yeah. So luckily I don't have to deal with it that much because at a well-managed club, they're really good with it. And crowds overwhelmingly are amazing. well-managed club, they're really good with it. And crowds overwhelmingly are amazing. But, yeah, when it gets the best of me is when there's some just major disrespect or someone talking loud at their table. And, yeah, it just brings the worst out of me. I wonder how you do on a tour because he gets yelled.

I can set my levels of expectations down depending on what the situation was. You know, it's like, yeah, you just, you're not, you know, like I'm not, like, this is the situation, this would be a little different, but... What about like a, like someone like an insurance company hires you for their luncheon or something?

You know, that's a good question. It sounds so funny. You know, but... I don't even think people realize That that's part of comedy They're called corporate shows And one time I remember a friend of mine

He was at a comedy club and they were telling him There's a big private party At the late show So don't do any cursing And he goes no And he told the manager No no no that's a corporate show that's when you get paid really good money because they tell you what to do here i'm getting paid where i

tell them what i want to say yeah yeah yeah there's a number where that changes there's a number where that changes so you don't get to tell me unless and it was brilliant it was fucking brilliant that is and um and uh so uh so did he cuss i don't remember i don't know i remember the details of the story but i remember that and so we're talking about oh yeah so what i do you know what i i go to i know what to do i know that i have my jokes in a binder anyway so it really makes it easy like i don't stare at the binder but i don't have a music stand that it's on stage i flip the pages I say something right up front So I can just put together a set

I just do what I know they want If they're going to pay me good money Especially during the pandemic I can do it right here in my studio And then I had that happen Some corporates right from in here On a real stage And you know what I had fun on some of them

I actually enjoyed some of them I knew that it was a special thing that I was on a- You were going to Zoom? I did some Zoom shows for corporations. And you just park it like this? Right here. I had my friend of mine come in here and shoot it, so I didn't have to worry about it. Even with a simple phone or something, but I didn't have to think about that.

And then I even had a little friend in here on the keyboards, so I could have music and stuff. You know who did that a bunch? Judah Freelander. Did he? Oh, yeah. Dude, he was doing Zooms like three, four times a week. Five times a week. Good. Donate what you want. It's got to be hard, right? Is that hard?

It was fun. It was fun? I liked it. I really did have a good time. Once I quit trying to make it something it isn't. Did you do Zoom shows? did karen's zoom show yeah oh i did your zoom show yeah it was fun that night i felt i watched what was the name of it it was the bathtub shower hour and we watched it in here like before i went on like we hadn't seen comedy so normally you might not on a zoom but we're like yeah this is, so we turned the lights down for the other acts. We watched it. I knew, oh, I'm one, I'm two, then me.

That's awesome. Then I jumped up on the stage. It was fun. It was really fun. Yeah, I guess I was doing the same thing. I was with Zoom people dancing. Are you depressed? Yes.

I don't know. We're not mocking the pressure. We're mocking the bad interview skills. Guys, guys, we're not mocking Andy. We're mocking Andy a different thing. He knows what he's doing. I'm talking about now doing it. He knows what he's doing.

He knows how charming he is. Did you date during the quarantine? How dare you? How dare you? How dare you? You know my wife, Diane, was in a car crash 42 years ago. Was it hard? Was it hard? How long were you married?

Did you die in a tunnel? No, I did not date. No? I didn't date. Why not? Well, because I didn't date. Why not? Well, because I wasn't going anywhere. And I was in a relationship, and it ended during quarantine. But the best a relationship can possibly end.

You know, it ended as good as it was, and it was great. Sometimes that just happens, you know? So it wasn't a horrible thing It was sad but it was like We're still very close So it wasn't like crippling What do you like more being with somebody or being alone Both

I like both Right now I'm liking just being I really want to go out on the road And perform And just not have to worry about But that could change But right now I don't want to worry about it. But that could change. But right now, I don't want to be in a relationship.

Yeah, that's good. I'm on the same boat. Sometimes you'll end up not wanting to see anybody then because what if you meet somebody and you like them? I don't want to meet someone and like them right now. I'm not saying never. That would be unhealthy. But to go right now, yeah, I'm going to go out of my way because the upshot of it is, and I'm never lonely.

I can be romantic like i i like being with someone and i have been with people for long periods and been very happy but also i can be romantic all by myself i've learned to be and if i'm in a hotel and it's raining i'll get room service i'll put on a movie i'll be like i can just get really good all by myself you know i've been doing that a lot more recently, being good with being by myself. So I always surround myself with people and shows and bars. That's fun, too. Yeah, but the quarantine, I was really by myself

until Dolov showed up, and then Dolov lived with me for three months. That was good, too. Did he try to touch you in the naughty area? He did. He tried to kiss me. No. On the podcast, too.

Hot take. Is that true? I knew it. I knew it's the way he sits in the crowd. Andy, Andy, look at me. I'm dancing. I love Dolav. If I enjoyed penis, I just don't enjoy penis.

If I enjoyed penis, I'd probably go for Dolab. Because he genuinely just loves me. You know? I genuinely love him. I can see it working. I don't have any more insight, though. I can see it working. I don't know. Sorry I didn't talk into the mic.

But it's weird. I'm sorry. I don't know. Am I just keeping myself so busy all the time so I don't think about that? It can be good. I love it. I'm happy doing all this stuff. You sound like you're going to cry. I'm happy doing all this stuff.

Okay? I fucking love it. No, but I feel like I always got to fight myself, fight with people about that, like defend myself, because everyone's like, you need to be with somebody. Oh, no, no. You know what? That's such unhealthy advice. I know.

Because some people should. It's individual advice. It's not a, you have this opinion. You can't have an opinion on that. There's 50 opinions on that. It depends who it is. That's like actually clinically wrong advice. I don't think any therapist would say that's so unhealthy to go, oh, you should be with someone.

It's like when people go, oh, you should have kids. Really? Without asking me any questions? Back then, everyone just said, oh, you should have kids. That's not sense. That's not thoughtful. Yeah. Because I don't feel like I'm like that.

I look at my friend Rick, who's helping me produce and mix my whole album. And I've been with him for a week. He's like 70 now or 65. Never had kids. Always just produced rock and roll records. Just been like the fuck and has a sailboat is that that house up in the hills

yeah in the hills and he's got a nice house it's awesome and he's studio god you know it's like when you go

it's a house and uh underneath is a studio but it's a fucking studio it's like it's a real studio

yeah it's pretty it's so cool it's like right on your own premises he has a garage band I love Beachwood are you using garage bands Yeah, it's so cool. It's like right on your own premises. He has a garage band. I love Beachwood. Are you using garage bands?

And Andy would say, maybe we should trim that. And he would look at Andy and go, quiet. And Andy never said anything after that. Yeah, I just lay there. Do you have a lot of reverb? I'm telling you, Andy. Man, I'm really proud of this record. Do you have a lot of reverb? Yes, a lot. Andy. Man, I'm really proud of this record. You have a lot of reverb? Yes, a lot.

Okay. Loud guitars, too. You're proud of it? Yeah, because I wrote this. I had a two-month gap to write 15 songs and record them all. I'm about to go on tour for four months. So I went to Nashville for five days, wrote with 15 different writers, three people in a room every two hours. I have to write a song in two hours with these guys.

And these guys are like heavy hitters, right? With Zach Brown, right? With like the Nashville circle. Wow. Like Luke Combs, fucking Garth Brooks. Like, dude, they're dudes. Vinnie Herman from Leftovers was with me the whole time because I was nervous. I'm like, Vinnie, you got to be with me the whole time because I was nervous I'm like Vinnie

you gotta be with me just in case my brain because this is like constant creativity what the fuck yeah dude I did this for a month I went to different towns

and wrote a song a day I did it in Charleston with the band I did this travel because I don't know I was I got nervous

like fuck I'm about to go on the road I have no new material well proud's a good word because that's good that you're proud of yourself because that means you worked at your I don't know. I got nervous. Like, fuck, I'm about to go on the road. I have no new material. Well, proud's a good word because that's good that you're proud of yourself because that means you worked at your full potential. I did, and I gave it my full potential. And this is the most honest record. What's it called?

Wash, Rinse, Repeat. Wow, I love it. That's good. Can I tell you what I would have called it? What? I can't even think of anything I thought I had enough time to think of something Oh no that's great

I like putting pressure on myself We did that with the shit shit It helps I hit up Kyle I'm like yo we're about to go on the Kyle's like we have two weeks to write We have 30 sketches to write Kyle fucking wrote his ass off Kyle's like I'm like We have two weeks to write We have 30 sketches to write Kyle Fucking

Wrote his ass off Me and Nick Are like Just everyday Working with him Just throwing ideas to Kyle I was like Nope that's not gonna do

We're gonna do that You know It was like It was so fascinating To write with Or write with you guys With your types of brains You know

Cause like You guys understand comedy so well I don't know what the fuck I'm doing You got good instincts But like Going back to what I'm the fuck I'm doing. You got good instincts. But going back to what I'm saying, sorry, I'm high now. This is good. That weed water, whatever, what the fuck is that?

That? I'm so high. That's heroin. Oh, man. Weed water is a good name for it. I call it weed water because I put it in a weird weed water bottle. But it's actually heroin. But I don't like the heroin bottle. Such a bad stigma with heroin bottles.

Everyone thinks, would you like some heroin? But now with the weed, I just call it H2 who? Have you ever put your pressure on yourself to make a whole thing in a month? Or do you always take your time, write a year to make a special? I take my time. Yeah?

You know, it sounds so, I don't know if I'm lazy or I know how to enjoy life. So I've never had the opportunity. I just got there. Yeah, you're right. I mean, am I lazy or am I doing it right? So I'm not trying to be too hard on myself. Also, it's okay if I have to motivate myself. So I just want to look at it maybe.

But I want to enjoy the road At its fullest I really enjoy it So if I'm doing brand new material That's going to be in my mind all day So what I prefer to do Is turn over Like 30 to 35 percent

Always Like if someone comes back And see me a year later And I went to see comedy Before I did comedy And if I win I remember very clearly Going to see a comedian

A year later When I was 17 If he did half new material I was, I remember very clearly going to see a comedian a year later when I was 17. If he did half new material, I was impressed. I really was. Maybe the standards are higher now, but no, you go back half. You're like, half. That was a lot of... So that's what I try to operate on.

That they'll come back, they'll see 40% to 50% new material. Instead of just getting rid of it all at one time, and then I'm not enjoying the road. So I'd rather slowly change it throughout the year and optimize my always being, having a good time on stage. I did that too. I just did two weeks. I did like 10 states. We only had to do one night where it was in a town for two nights.

But now I'm posting all my set lists, so I've got to change up everything. And it got me. And we wrote like three new songs. I don't want to blow my load and play all 15 new ones because then I'll be stressed. And that's also why I don't want to do podcasts on the road anymore or do – because I want to enjoy the moment. So I've stockpiled a bunch of interviews.

because I want to enjoy the moment. So I stockpiled a bunch of interviews, but when I'm fully in something, I feel like we're more present, and when we're present, we're happy. Right? I don't know, maybe. And you'll probably do a better job.

And you'll do a better job. If you're thinking about four things, then I feel like I'm not in it as much. So I'm trying to departmentalize my full potential. Are you addicted to sugar? Damn! I almost unplugged my mic when you said that. I don't know why. I was like, ah, okay.

Just throw it. Oh, fuck. Wow. I am addicted to food. I have to stay away from food. Me too. I have to stay away from food. Me too. I have to stay away. My stomach starts hurting when I'm not eating. My brain's like,

you've got to get something in there. I've tried going six days without eating. I'm going to WebMD that. My mouth dries up if I don't have a liquid now. Really? Are you serious? I can't even talk straight when I don't have a liquid. I think you're describing being thirsty

that's what i was i thought you were just doing a bit where you don't have diarrhea well there's a right there what is that yeah i thought you had a diarrhea sound cue you were reaching for. Have you ever got arrested? Did I? Yeah. Funny you ask. Did I ever get arrested? I had to go to court,

and then I had to go to court, but a friend of mine, my friend of my dad's knew this judge i got a court because i didn't pay they didn't pay a lot of parking tickets and eventually they put a boot on my car i'm like 21 and then i went to uh then i went to the then i went to uh then i went this is a true story then i went i had to go to court but the deal was the judge knew was going to know who I was and he was going to dismiss the case. Just say, sorry, I didn't know it got out of hand. That was all.

You just say something polite and it's all going to work out. So I went in the court and I knew what I was going to say and acted very polite. I didn't be like, I didn't, I was polite. I did a pretty good job. I said, you know, it got a little out of my hand and i got a little out of hand and i you know of course i take responsibility but right now it'll be easier is there any way we can make a settlement and i just wanted to show up today but that's it he goes no no no okay maybe he's really putting on a show you know he's gonna but then he goes boom boom and

they put me back in a room like i'm like, anyway, long story short, I found out it was the wrong. Hey, people ask for favors and things mess up. So that's what happened. They thought it was a different room, a different judge. So anyway, I had to pay all the money. Hold on. Yeah, that's a true story. I remember my mom called her friend.

What happened? Oh, he's sorry. So do these lawyers just tip off all these judges? I think they just all have, you know, it's not like he's getting me out of prison for murdering anybody. So they probably, on the lower end, probably do a lot of those minimal favors, you know. It's probably, it's illegal, but.

Probably saves money. Have you ever been arrested? Yeah. Smoking weed been arrested? Yeah. Smoking weed in New York once. They took us off the street. This is in 2017 or 16. They arrested us and me and my friend Will

for smoking outside of a show in a meatpacking district. That's fucked up. While they were driving us there, they were like, look, it's going to be quick. We're making numbers Like the cops were just like we arrested you Because it's near the end of the month essentially And then

They didn't you know They let us fingerprint ourselves which was funny Cause they don't care it's like the middle of the night They were just like filling a freaking Tally you know So then you left We were there for like 16 hours because they forgot about us.

16 hours? And then they got processed on the next shift, yeah. What? Jesus. That's fucked up. Were you in there with people that might be scared of? I was in there with my friend Will and the only other guy who was in there while we were there was a guy who was telling us he was going to fake his injury when he

went to court. Like telling us the whole thing. fake his injury when he went to court, like telling us the whole he's like he goes like he's like I know they do it on TV, but I'm going to get a neck brace like he's like describing like what he's going to do and I'm like if I'm being pranked, this is great and I hope he did okay. I don't

know what happened, but that guy was in there for some of it. I got arrested in Kansas, too. Half a gram of weed. Manhattan, Kansas. Ah, Kansas State. Kansas State. Farmtown.

No, they just gave me a ticket. I thought I was chill. I roll in there next year, play the park, play their big concert series, park. And they're waiting for me after I fucking played. Like they knew I was coming. And they arrested me for half gram a year later. Wow.

They got fucking pink eye in prison. I was like putting my face on. I was just beating an ass on my lock. I was singing Akon. Locked up, won't let me out. You're putting your face on the jail bars? On the jail bars. I the jail... I did. For real, for real.

And I was just like... I was wasted. I was wasted as fuck. I'm like, yeah, take me to jail. I'm like, this is the stupidest thing. Half a gram of weed. And then I had to call a bail bondsman and they're like, good luck because I have an out-of-state license. And I picked one.

And thank God, the girl was at my fucking show. She's like, oh, you're Andy Frasco? Yeah, I'll be there. Your bail bondsman was at your show? It's perfect because they don't give bail bonds to people with out-of-state license.

You gotta go see a judge. That reminds me. It's a simple process. It seems to work for the people. Now that reminds me of the time because you texted me, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please,

please pick up. Was it that? It was that time. Ah, I feel horrible. I didn't have money. It's tough to know what he means by that. He goes, please, please, please, please, please, please. Well, I'm glad you're okay.

I'm okay. The pink eye will clear up on its own. Yeah. You were in prison, man. I get pink eye a lot on the road, actually. Don't brag. What was the most crushing show you've ever done? I don't know.

You don't remember your opus? How do you not remember? I just't know. Do you remember? You don't remember your opus? How do you not remember? I just probably remember more of a scene. Where were you? Probably like, you know,

just any good club. You could be at the Acme or something like we were talking about. So you're saying you crush every time. Well, not every time, but at a good club.

You know what it's like when you're going into a good club, if you don't... I thought I wanted to say as far as being the... How can it come into my head and then out of my head so quick? Oh! Okay, here we go. I got it.

Alright. It has to do with how high of an ethics do we want to, like, you know, our show, like, how hard do we want to be on ourselves as far as, like, you know, doing know doing a tight show respecting the crowd and just doing a tight show but still having fun but doing a tight show so my niece and my nephew are in the audience and somebody said to me you know backstage you know they go what if it went bad tonight you know what i mean like it went bad and my my mom was in the audience my niece my nephew they'd never seen me before they're like

teenagers now and sounds weird but i want to do well. I'm their uncle. I want to do really good, of course. And I have that little band with me, and they're good, and they're tight, and I was like, everything was... I'm in a good club. I'm pointing that out. I'm in a good club. That makes a difference. And then

my friend goes, what if it didn't go well? I go, you know what? I wouldn't let it not go well? I go, you know what? I wouldn't let it not go well. Meaning, when I don't want that to happen, it doesn't mean the crowd's great, but I will just do whatever I have to do. I'll ignore someone that's a jerk in the front row. I will go in a crowd, and I can do pretty good. And then I thought, well, why don't I do that all the time?

Why am I, you know what I mean So it's like I think split the difference And Yeah Pick up your I'd say split the difference And it means probably

We can all work harder And be tighter Because people are spending Sometimes money they don't have Yeah Well like That's why I was like I'm thinking about that

Because like So you can't be afraid To repeat some stuff Is what I'm saying Yeah I did Peach Fest last weekend That's a big show for us like it's a big market there's 20 000 people there peach fest what's your it's the almond brothers festival and like they'll have like what is it uh it's in like scranton pencil thing almonds brother almond brothers you know them oh yeah it's like their

festival cool so it's them great some dudes from the Grateful Dead, and a lot of jam bands and whatnot. Trey, your boy, Phish. We still got to go to a Phish concert. I've never been. Have you? No. We should all go there and go to the lot and figure it out.

I've only been to Dead shows. You've been to Dead shows? How about you? No. I was going to go to Fish if it was with you And I would go, I would experience If we were going to like tailgate Well I was getting, I was

I wanted it so bad I went so hard I crowd surfed to the wave pool I got the crowd Mosh pitting It was the first show back And I went really hard. Where is this at?

Scranton, Pennsylvania. This was Saturday. We played at 4 o'clock. Didn't think a lot of people were going to be there. I don't know. The whole thing was packed. The whole festival was there. And they were singing every song.

And I was going crazy. i did it in the day four o'clock like that and like i went i went back to kill him in the name of i've done that a lot and it just it still it went really well i get like self conscious Like fuck I already did that I think You know what I can tell you You know Having some memory Of what you expected

You know I sometimes ask myself Am I deluding myself Or do I really remember Thinking if they had You know A big chunk of new material That was good

But I'm almost positive That that was the word Between us When we would go back And see comedians. So the same thing with musicians. I don't know. I don't mind seeing it.

If there's a flow of new stuff, I don't think. Who expects all new stuff? These jam fans. Okay, you did say that once before. So it's different in that. That world wants you to do something different all the time. So if you did 50% new, that's not enough? I mean, that's what I've been doing lately.

And it's working. You know what you're saying? You go, come here. Come here. You talk close to the mic. Get over here, you fuck. Listen, get away from the stage. I hear what you're saying.

I'm doing half and half, all right? Just like your ass. But sometimes we'll do the festival we'll have that one guy who just like likes traditional jam music and he'll be right in the middle just fucking putting this oh no wait he'll really do a thumbs down yeah i'm like and i don't say shit but like what i will do is i'll get the crowd to like you know run them over a little bit. I won't say anything. What I'll do is way more petty. You mean like do a bit where the crowd has to move back and forth?

Yeah, because that guy is not expecting me to go, everyone to go left and right. Yeah, and then he has to do it, even if he doesn't want to. Ah. Everyone go right. No, I love it. I love it. That guy's going out of his way to have a negative attitude. He should get ran over

by positivity in a very literal fashion. You know what I would do? I'd have a guy in the audience with a stun gun. I'd strangle him to death. Yeah, I'd have a little earpiece. I'd go, he's standing right there with the jacket. Right there with the jacket. Can he? Two seconds into the Red Rock red rock show before the first

musicians even up there i come out to say hi i go what's up and then a girl starts blowing a whistle oh please blowing like a like a fucking referee whistle and i just go no no and then security just picks her up and like carries her away and everyone I'm like, this is such a perfect... No, come on. Oh my fucking... That's what I'm saying. It's 4 p.m. It's daytime. They're so excited.

Honestly, the vibe at festivals right now is insane. Everyone is laughing, crying. I finally got my monologue good. I made people... I've been getting so many messages about my monologue good. I made people... I've been getting so many messages about my monologue I did about the year we had and how hard it was

for a lot of people. You play music under it? Yeah. I did Keep On Keepin' On and at the end they all sang Keep On Keepin' On. It was just really powerful for me. Really special moment.

I've been trying to make a monologue for fucking 13 years about, you know, you've seen my show. Right, I get it. You think you'll have something, you know. And the minute I stopped thinking about that and just went straight for my heart, it's the best response. Right. Why do we overthink what we do? It's the best response. Why do we overthink what we do?

Because we want it to be like, you know, you want it to be perfect or clear. You know, probably I say if everything split the difference, get it good, but then let yourself just speak from the heart, basically. Put a little thought into it, and then you just got to just. But that's awesome. So do you enjoy sharing a kitchen? All right, let's start the recording. Let's start the recording. It's blinking. Oh, God.

Cam, it's his birthday tonight. Oh, really? Yeah. Yo, bro, happy birthday. Happy birthday. Happy birthday to you. Sing it with us. Happy birthday to you. Sing it with us. Happy birthday to you.

You didn't have to. You didn't have to. Oh, please. Yeah, maybe. Please don't stop. Happy birthday. Turn them up. Turn them up.

Turn them up. Happy birthday. Yeah. Happy birthday to you. Wow. Happy birthday, bro. Four more years. Four more years. And many more.

And then you end it. You see how you feel. You can re-up if you want. That's true. We're not going to lock you in anything right now. Happy birthday, bud. It's not his birthday. This is a planned bit. Oh, really? It's not my birthday. He's been feeling a little low.

I told Todd, I said, if you don't tell your guest tonight that it's my birthday and he sings, I'm going to literally kill myself after the podcast. He told me. And I said that. Are you depressed? And Todd was... Yeah, yeah, yeah. You are?

Next. Yeah, yeah, yeah. About what? I don't know. Nothing in particular. Just, you have like a... Just, yeah, mood cycles. Next. Yeah, yeah, yeah. About what? I don't know. Nothing in particular. Just, you have like a, you're just sad? Yeah, mood cycles. How long has that been happening?

The cycles? High school. Late high school. Do you take like antidepressants or anything? No. I've thought about it and I've seen like psychiatrists or whatever that would say. But I don't know. I have, I don't know if anyone else ever feels this.

I have a fear. Oh, you hear it. Oh, it suppresses, you know, a little bit. And it's like um i don't know i have uh i don't know if anyone else ever feels this i have a fear oh you hear oh it suppresses you know a little bit and it's like i don't know and control is one of the things that's what's worried about when i want i want to i always think about like should i take an antidepressant or if i should oh you think it'll stipend stipend stipend yeah i feel like it'll like i feel like it'll just put me in a cloud. I thought that would happen. It did with some. We've been on a couple different ones. Yeah? Yeah.

When they're helpful, it's nice. Do you feel better on them? No. No, but I don't think that means I would never feel better on any antidepressant. I think that means a couple of medications I was on weren't right. It's just, it seems very scientific, but it's kind of just an art to picking out what people are going to take and takes you eight weeks to know if it's working.

Only eight weeks. Yeah, I mean, it takes a while to kick in, right? What are you, a commercial for it? Anyways, if this story persists, please see a doctor. If this riff lasts longer than fourists, please see a doctor. If this riff lasts longer than four hours, please see a doctor. I'm just curious.

I mean, you're depressed. Would you take antidepressant if you're depressed? If I had a... No, no, I don't deal with depression. Wait, Todd, you're not depressed? How dare you? How do you get out of you think that. I don't. How do you get out of it?

That's so funny. So you're not depressed? What are you talking about? I could see why you'd be depressed. Why would I be depressed? You, I understand. But if I did, I would hope I would get on, try to figure it out

Some people have And man, it's amazing to see the difference in people When they get a grip on it It's so nice to see Why is there a stereotype that all comedians are sad? Because you make it up Me? Well, the sad clown thing's been around forever, right?

Yeah, but why? I'm not sad You're not sad. I think there is a lot. Am I sad? No, do you? I don't think so. But, you know, you beat to a different drum, I guess.

I hope. Something makes me funny. But I don't think it... I remember once I told some... I was... Sometimes some people in the arts, some torture does lead to, you know, but that's not an excuse for the torture, so we're being a little bit off-kilter. And one of the ones I was telling to my friend Jay, and I go, I don't think I could be a good comedian, because most good comedians, they have like, you know, they're just different, or they're, you know,

they have, I mean, I'm just so. Or they're, you know, they have. I mean, I'm just so normal. He goes, you think you're normal? I'm like, I'm not normal. I'm so happy. He goes, well, you might have a good mom. You know, you have a good family. And you're not, you know.

But he goes, you're not normal. Trust me. I go, that's the best news. That's good. Jay Reisman. So I give him a shout out You fuck I haven't talked to him In 20 years

Because he owes me a nickel Die I'm kidding What if I was that petty I had that good of a story But surrounded it With this Horrible

Never talk to him Never talk to him Because of 5 cents 25 cents So that's that Well I think we're all out of drinks. Should we have another drink? Should we conclude this?

Are you still feeling okay? I think maybe wrap it up and get some food. Yeah. When I say wrap it up, I'm in no hurry. What are you thankful for? Our friendship. Yeah. Well, you're right across from me, so I think that's appropriate.

And then I get another one. He's holding a gun, too. And he's holding a gun that says say me, but don't mention the gun. Ooh. Is that why you're poking it in my head? Why did you mic the gun? The gun's got a little laugh mic on.

I'm thankful for You know being able to go back out And Do shows So I'm really looking forward to that I mean I'm really looking forward to it You know I'm going to comedy on state On the 28th, 29th and 30th And it's like

It's going to be so much fun i feel like you know when i was little i went to disneyland it's like i said something gonna go wrong am i gonna get into a car crash on the way to the club like just keep being safe you're gonna be there in a bit so you can get into the club you know that's how i felt when i was in philadelphia like you're gonna get to the shows your plane plane won't crash. I'm going to perform. Does that make sense at all? But everything went fine. The shows were great.

I'm trying harder. I do one new joke a year. I'll admit it. I knew there was a weird tension in the room. What are you thankful for? My job, my friends, being in a state that's sunny. Wow, thank you. What are you thankful for, birthday boy? I'm thankful for a warm belly.

I've been surrounded. Yeah, just warm belly, warm cheeks, warm feelings. Currently, yeah. What about you, Kyle? That's nice. Can I steal that one? Kind of what everyone said. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But pretend I said it.

It's nice to be in the same place as people again. It is. It's absolutely bizarre to have not been and now to be. I think you should take a picture as close as we can to where we're sitting. So when you post your show, they get where we were and where we were talking. Yeah. One picture really explains the whole evening. Hey, well, calm it down, okay?

You watch it, Andy. I'll fucking come right over there and give you the old one, two. That's what I was going to ask. Do you have an anger problem? Yeah, I do. Yeah. Yeah, you know why? Why?

Because. Addicted to sugar. Addicted to sugar. Don't put it anger problem? Yeah, I do. Yeah. Yeah, you know why? Why? Because. He's addicted to sugar. Addicted to sugar. Don't put it down. Don't put it down. No, I can't. Put it down. Put it down the pixie stick.

I'm depressed. Have a good night. Good night. Thank you. Andy, God bless you. Thanks. I'm thankful for y'all. You guys taught me so much about how to live life, how to not be so hard on myself, and how to

don't sweat the small things. Well, Kyle, you didn't teach me that. It definitely was not my mantra. That was it. I more so bleed the small things. I'm glad that I have a warm belly. Seriously, I'm just so happy

for my warm belly. It's really it's really clever oh man i get i got older and i got acid reflux oh i'm sorry i'm sorry i don't care he's like oh i'm not i'll never think about this again you know i love cigarettes i love alcohol i love pizza yeah man andy who could have seen you having physical body problems setting in after 8,000 days on the road? Andy's like, I have one minor issue with my body. It sucks.

That's the one thing about, I don't know how I'm going to keep it. Everyone thinks my Jameson is like iced tea and shit. I'm like, no, I have ulcers because. No, no, it's not that good idea you just gave me. It's been real whiskey the whole time. But what was that you said? Iced tea? I gotta write that down. Jesus.

Oh, God, I've been having gut problems. You know what? I never, until about two years ago, ever had acid reflux. Really? I was eating one night just horribly, like literally until three in the morning. I was eating jelly beans even when I was stuffed. Laying in bed eating

jelly beans when I'd already said, why can't you stop? And I thought, I'm in bed. They were so fucking delicious. Eating the jelly beans and I'm and we're talking about acid reflux. Oh, and the next morning I had it and I went, the minute you have it, you're like, that's what that is. Okay.

I had a stomach ache before, but that was weird. So I only had that happen like three times and then I just tried to stop eating at two in the morning instead of four. It's a weird feeling and it burns. Yeah, it sucks. Do you yell at your food? No, unless if it doesn't get me my drink. Or do you get angry?

Are you an angry eater? No, I'm not angry. I try to live. All I want out of life is every year to be less frustrated or angry, and that's it. Every year be less frustrated and less. I don't get really I get angry

But not that much I keep things pretty simple You know usually You know I don't buy shit I don't need I'm not stressed out So that helps me be calm Goodbye

Does that make sense? No you're lying Like fuck you You're lying No? No, you're lying Like, fuck you You're lying No, I'm not You're lying No, you're lying saying you think I'm lying No, I think you're talking shit just to
