trying to get happy Through all this fucking madness Do I have to play the music? Stay strong out there It's depressive shit The shit is depressing right now We gotta wake it up Anyway We're not gonna do anything sad

We're not gonna do anything I just wanted to get I found this girl on the internet And supposedly she drinks her own urine For how long have've been doing this ladies don't give up for plaza princess hey how you doing hello hello welcome to the show thank you so much yo you are a hit in my community yeah apparently what so you have you been doing this for a while um not very long since april tell me about it what why are been doing this for a while? Not very long since April.

Tell me about it. Why are you doing this? I guess because I'm thirsty on a spiritual level. What does it do? What are the nutrients in your urine that you put back into your body? So your urine actually is not waste. The kidneys and the bladder are not associated with waste the waste goes out your colon wow um the kidneys and the bladder are associated with absorption and

excretion right so um you at the time that you your bladder is filling up with what your kidneys has filtered, your kidneys basically have this job where they decide how much of your nutrients your blood can reabsorb at that time. So it's this balancing act. It's balancing your blood. It's taking an account of how your organs are operating and making critical decisions on what you can absorb at that moment. So it takes a, it takes an intake and it's like, here's where we're at. Here's what we need. Here's, and we can't absorb anymore. And then it goes into your bladder. Holy shit. Okay, so you're putting those vitamins back into your body.

And tell me how you feel. Tell me how you're feeling. You've been on urine for how many months you've been on urine? Since April. So now it's, I guess, August, right? Holy shit. Do you get dehydrated? I just think of Waterworld, you know?

Like, they're grabbing it. Right. So, like, do you have to drink a lot more of it? Do you just drink your piss? Do you drink water as well? Like, what is it? Give me a second. So, ideally, you would get your water from, like, ionized structured sources. So, like, hydrating fruits, green juices, and, like, tea.

So, tea can structure your water as well. And distilled water, if you're in a pinch, if you're feeling a low stream, if you're like, you know, only getting a little pinch out, you might want to distill some water so you can further loop your urine. I know from firsthand experience that I feel more hydrated than I ever have. The first time you drink your urine, it's a full-on awakening experience. All your cells coming online, like the first time you've ever drank water, real water, quote unquote, real water since the womb. so we're looping our urine in the womb the amniotic fluid is your own urine and your mother's urine and you are looping

your urine for nine months before you come out into the world oh man I have so many questions for you actually this is crap can I what's your real name Emma I see your sky hi Emma nice to meet you I'm a oh my god yeah okay that's so many questions okay so you're you're Andy. Hello. Nice to meet you. Yeah. Okay. I got so many questions. Okay. So you're a young lady. You probably party. Do you drink your piss after a hard day of partying? That seems like it'd be toxic. It's not recommended. So caffeine and alcohol are not recommended, but it's totally safe. It's safer than the caffeine and the alcohol. Holy shit.

it's totally safe, safer than the caffeine and the alcohol. Holy shit. Yeah. So yes, when your stream is dark and dense, that's the reflection of your blood. So you should loop that urine. That's like the number one urine that you should be drinking. So the darker the urine, the better?

The more dense. That's the nutrients that you're not absorbing so you should your body's failing at that moment to absorb what it needs because you've compromised your system so um yeah you definitely need to loop that first of the day which is like always a thing what if you're hung so you're hung over you had a great night amazing for hangovers what i i yeah because it's actually hydrating. You're drinking your piss for hydration via hangover. I got to start doing this.

You probably should. Yeah. And I mean, it's just not recommended that you loop the alcohol, really. But you might want to save up some for later, like fast for a little bit or eat really healthy for a week and then save up some really clean, nice stem cells and set that aside if you're planning on compromising your system in the future so you have something to rehydrate you after. But no, I don't really party because I would rather drink my pee. It's a party.

Shout out. Shout out to you. That's your party. Hell yeah. I love that party shout out to you that's your party hell yeah i love that shout out to that it's your party is your urine that's that's beautiful it's like i guess it's like the same thing as people eating their placenta right yeah yeah or um semen or period blood or any of your sacred secretions that come out of your body besides poop, besides your waste, anything that comes out of the sacred, you know, like the yoni or like your member is totally safe. That's great. Like I was thinking this too.

Like, so why does pee have such a bad stereotype for waste? Because it's incredibly healing and nobody makes money off of your urine yeah except for the people who are stealing urine for cosmetics they make money off of your urine hold on who what do you mean they're stealing your urine so um there's you can google this everyone loves googling stuff so um port-a-potties i think it was porto john or whatever or one of the porta potties companies there's a documentary and he talks about how on the urinal side of porta potty there's actually a catch for men like because it it goes into the side and they collected urine um and reuse that in a lot of over-the-counter cosmetics like for your skin and also eye drops.

Urea is really commonly found in over-the-counter eye drop medications. Holy shit, people are staring. Damn, you wouldn't even think, like, yeah, take it away, but I guess people are profiting off your urine. Are people profiting off your urine? Are people asking to buy your urine, Plasma Princess? You know, yes but but they're not pulling the trigger so i think that that's really funny well how much you how much you asking for

for your urine oh it was like 150 for like a vial of uh evolved um urine and there was an option for um my mushroom um urine after i had ingested psilocybin because you can loop your psilocybin through your feet or LSD. Hold on. Oh, now you're breaking some wavelengths here. So you're saying – Yeah, I thought it was a party. Like this is how we party over here.

So you could take some L or take some mushrooms, and then the urine from the next day can still – you can still construct psilocybin from that? Yes. How strong is it? Just as strong. What? Yeah, especially if you boof it.

Hold on, you're boofing urine? So urine enemas. How do you do a urine enema? Well, you have an enema bag, which looks like a douche. Essentially, it's a bag with a hose and you fill it up with your urine and you loop it. Holy. Are you guys in? into your bloodstream. So I've accidentally blasted off a few times unknowingly, looping my mushroom. I've got to learn how to label them better because it can get a little wavy.

Holy shit. So when you're boofing your urine, do you get any infections? Oh, no. Opposite. Really? It clears parasites, clears toxins, heavy metals. Oh, my God. You're blowing my mind with this stuff. So what about, okay, so if your body feels good, your gut feels good, how's your mental health through this whole experiment of drinking urine?

Well, that's when you get into the more like maybe esoteric or feminine side of things, because when you're looping your water, you're looping your emotions. So your blood and the hormones present in your blood dictate how you feel. So when your body has a second chance to process those things, it starts to bring up a lot of maybe emotional trauma. And again, you like kind of get shot back into like the womb state. And again, you like kind of get shot back into like the womb state. So you're getting an opportunity to sit with that, your shadow self, essentially, especially because everything you consume is going to be reflected in your urine. And so it keeps you accountable and to what you're intaking and how how your mood is, because I've noticed even stress can.

how your mood is because I've noticed even stress can, I'm not going to say taint, but it, it makes my urine darker, like more dense. Like I can tell my body isn't at 100% absorption because I'm high in cortisol. And, um, yeah, so it's, it's really a great reflection of, of how you, how you're feeling and how you're doing. And it really supercharges your energy field and feels amazing on all levels. So when you're feeling sad, though, you kind of don't want to circle your emotions, right?

So when you're feeling depressed or something, do you still drink your urine? Totally. That's the way out. Yeah, 100%. I always say, like, you know, if you did want, like, if you can just stay on the pee, just keep looping it and keep drinking it and like get through it because it's going to keep you accountable. It's going to keep you on the right track because it's so good for you. Yeah. And out of total self-acceptance and total self-reliance becomes total perfect health.

God. Yeah. Yeah. Disease is disease. health um god yeah yeah disease is disease when you're out of harmony with yourself and your system's not closed and operating on just your own kundalini energy then you have attacks you have holes in your aura that can be penetrated by stress or projections or other people's parasites yeah do you feel do you feel the healthiest you've ever been? Plasma? Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. And I would say that the urine is the, is the P is the

key is another thing I always say, because it can unlock so many aspects of yourself. Like it keeps your diet in check. It keeps your like mental stability in check. You have one thing that you can depend on and it's you, it's you, it it's all you you're not getting it from an external source which is another big cause of disease is looking externally for support when you're all you need you're all you have thank fucking god there's people like you in the world let's go plasma princess hell yeah damn that's crazy did you just wake up one day and just said you know what i'm gonna drink my piss you know so i i was really on the juices i've been like heavy metal detoxing for a while like once you start waking up to the toxicity of the world you're like how do i survive in this wasteland how can i thrive not survive how can i thrive how can i express energy outward instead

of constantly regenerating it um and I was like really hydrated I'm like peeing and I'm like peeing a lot because I'm hydrated and I'm looking at it and I'm like that's like seems like water like I wonder if I can drink that and as soon as I asked that question to the universe I got introduced you know the algorithm or whatever brought me this page. It was internal showers and on Instagram and he was fasting and drinking his pee. And I'm like, that's interesting. Like, okay. You know, I didn't have a visceral reaction because I had already like thought about it. I was like, Oh, okay. Maybe you can drink your pee. And then a couple of my like petty friends rolled through and I was like,

Hey, have you ever like thought of drinking your pee or like what's going on about this? And they were both like, yeah, we tried it. You know, it was chill. And I let that go for a while. And I've been really interested in like water consciousness for a long time, because when we talk about drought or people or things controlling our water or charging us for water or poisoning our water you're like and you think you're under the impression that you need this water to survive then you're like okay how will i source this water in the future you're thinking about going off grid you're thinking about getting a well you know what i mean so i'm like into this water

science stuff and um and then a while goes by and I and I I really want to do like this parasite cleanse I'm feeling really attached to certain like energies and I feel them in my gut and in my body I'm like I'm gonna do a parasite cleanse I found um grew up from the garden who's a big advocate of urine therapy breatharianism um detoxing the whole nine yards um and i joined his a boot camp that was 10 days of fasting and he was a high a big advocate for urine therapy and i think about i don't know maybe like two days into my fast my body was like i'm losing this water and my body my intuition just told me like you have to drink that like you can't waste that we're not intaking anything so you can't just lose what you have and I just first cup I was

scared and I set it aside and I dumped it out later I was like I can't do it second time I got a coffee mug so I couldn't see the color of it and um yeah, and I just I just downed it. And I felt amazing. I went from a week like weekend and fasting and detoxing and like headaches and like that first couple of days of fasting into like fucking alive. Like I cleaned my house. I cleaned my car, like went and did yoga. I was like, holy fucking shit.

Like I'm alive for the first time all of my cells were like hydrated it was like total uh like kundalini experience crown busting open rainbows like oh man the the pie from first starting is like nothing you've ever experienced before i mean i i mean it's it's like the same time when you first get high off psilocybin or LSD. It's got to be that first euphoric feeling like, wow, I didn't need all this stuff to feel this euphoric. I just needed my piss. Right, which is you.

Yeah, you just need yourself. Damn, that's meta as fuck. Your piss is you. You got to be yourself. That's how we do this podcast. This is why I wanted you on the show, Plasma Prison. Love it. I appreciate it. I got one last question and I'll let you go this podcast this is why I wanted you on the show I appreciate it

I got one last question and I'll let you go you should be a part of the show we should get you segments where you give us tutorials about what urine does for the human body I'd love to I got one more question what if it's a hot day

and your urine is hot you're just always sipping tea all day even in the summertime holy yeah i mean technically your body has to steal um like electricity to heat liquids up to your body temperature so you're better off just drinking something that's at perfect temperature holy shit what about do you refrigerate your pee are your neighbors are your roommates pissed? Like, what's going on in that world? I don't, but I know some people in our community definitely pee some urine in the fridge.

The refrigerator has a lot of radiation, so I prefer all mine at fresh temperature, room temperature, pee temperature. But, you know, to each their own. i think you can probably freeze it rather than refrigerate it i think that might be better um but i don't i i keep my evolved um age so like you can age it and we call it evolved because it's not actually aging or decomposing it's actually growing and living and multiplying in stem cells. It's becoming more electric, more electronegative as it ages. Wow. Which is great.

So you have a bunch of blank stem cells in a jar ready to heal you at any given moment. So do you think this is perfect for if the apocalypse happens or you're going in the woods? I don't see why more people don't drink their piss unless it's like in survival mode. They should be drinking it all the time then. We are in survival mode. If I had to say, if you take a really good look around you, there's toxins everywhere in our water, in our air, in our soil. Like we this is an emergency. People die constantly for no reason other than really cellular dehydration and full of heavy

metals holy shit wow and and they tell you it's waste they tell you to piss it down like they tell you to piss your life away right you're pissed off like and the porta potties pot of gold like it's always right in front of you it's like damn damn it was right in front of you the whole right in front of us the whole time and we've been too blinded to see that urine was good for us right yeah well we weren't it's not our fault we've been conditioned um but in early in school you start learning that that pee is waste there's i went and kind of did some youtube wormholing about like kids learn about their body systems like as they're growing up and

yeah they're like pee is waste pee and poop go in the toilet like blah blah don't pee in the pool don't pee your bed don't like if you pee it's embarrassing like it's it's totally conditioned for no other reason other than profit off of suffering well when I drink a bunch of water I'm gonna be thinking about you, Plasma Princess. Maybe we could have like a happy hour one day where we both drink our pisses or something. I would love that. Absolutely. Oh my God. Nice to meet you. Thanks so much for sharing your time with me. And I really felt like I've learned a lot from just learning what you know about the urine and how it keeps our body healthy. So I'll be, I'll be thinking of you when I'm pissing plasma princess. I appreciate that.

Absolutely. Thank you. Yeah. Um, it's really good for your gut. I heard a little bit on one of your podcasts that you have some gut issues. I do. Yeah. Yeah. You might want to consider urine therapy. Yeah. Or what about, you're talking about like a parasite cleanse. That sounds like maybe I have a couple of parasites in there. Absolutely. Everyone does. We all do. So do you think parasites can cause depression? Because gut health is like one of the main things of when we get depressed. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. It's our lower brain. So we're controlled a lot by our gut instincts, right?

Yeah, it's our first brain before we get to our mental brain and before we get to our etheric brain, higher self or whatever, your soul. So yeah, you want to make sure your lower brain is clear and concise and clean and optimized. So that way you can transfer your energy and your love into the world easily. Wow. Well, God damn it. Thank God there's people like you in the world, Plasma Princess. I appreciate it.

Thank you. I'm glad you're here too. It's going to be great. We have a great show for you. We have Faye Webster. She's this amazing indie artist and I couldn't have a better reason to have Plasma Princess on the show. So before we go to Faye, I do this thing where you have to give motivational speech for the week ahead for the listeners. Do you want to give us some motivation to get us through this week?

Yeah, absolutely. Let's grab a jar, piss in it um heal yourself and and clear those shadow energies from everyone everyone and everything you've gathered up into this present moment and start radiating pure love energy outward into the world um operating at our highest and cleanest and purest self out of unconditional love. And together, it takes all of us, all of us. We will get to a beautiful place where nobody has to suffer and we can all be hydrated and bathing in piss and drinking out of fountains together, naked with flowers everywhere. Fuck yeah. Have a great day, Plasma Princess. I appreciate you. Later, dude. Thank you so much. That was amazing. Thank you so much. That was so beautiful. Wow. All right, guys. Have a great day.

And I agree. It's fucking awesome. And she's popping. And I'm stoked. She's got her own vibe. I'm into it. So ladies and gentlemen, please enjoy my interview with Fame Webster.

I'm in love with someone I don't know I don't know I don't know, how am I supposed to ever be with him? I'm being, I don't speak the same language But we have conversations in my head How did I fall in love with someone I don't know? What's up, Faye? What's up? Nothing much.

Where you at right now? I'm in Atlanta, at my house. Yeah? How's it going? Busy year so far, Jesus. Atlanta at my house. Yeah. How's it going? Busy year so far. Jesus. Yeah. It has been surprisingly busy for how boring last year was. I know. Like, what were you doing? Were you going through anything during that quarantine? Like, were you getting depressed or getting anxious or how were you feeling through that thing? Um mean definitely all of all of that but I don't know there there was like a very comfort part of it just like I don't know if I'm off tour it's like I'm just at home like I don't know so it's kind of like I was very

comfortable and I like felt like oh this is my safe space. But, you know, definitely going stir crazy every now and then. Tell me a little bit about you. You just came on my radar last year, and ever since that, you've just been fucking killing it. I'm so fucking proud of you. That's sick. Dude, yeah, because a lot of my Atlanta homies were telling me about you, like White's Red Panic and stuff and Dave's Schools and the whole gang.

So tell me, did you grow up in Atlanta? Why music? What made you get attracted to the art of song? Yeah, I did grow up in Atlanta. I don't know. I think just like growing up, I feel like there were so many people around me that played music. Like my brother played guitar and was like in bands in high school and now and like my granddad played guitar.

So I feel like kind of just like growing up around that, I was just like, oh, like I want to do this. And then I like started it. And then when it was just like senior year of high school where you had to like choose what you actually wanted to do for life i was just like oh well this is the only thing i really know how to do so what were you what was it like for you in high school were you getting picked on were you a popular kid like what was going on out there um i i was i really liked high school actually i liked high school more than college um i think i just really liked the high school that i went to in atlanta um and yeah still still have some some great friends so it was a good experience for me which i'm thankful for. What's your relationship with the hip hop community? Um,

well, in high school I was, um, making music with people that were also in my class and they were mainly just like making beats. And then I would just like sing over it because I didn't know how to produce and I still don't know how to produce like I don't know like I know what I want I know what's going to sound what I want it to sound like but it's like I don't know maybe I'm just like not that tech savvy of a person um and then yeah kind of

straight out of high school I took a gap year and then immediately joined awful records so I've kind of just like always been around like collaborative artists which is something that I had never really experienced before like I was never like writing with people um and I feel like that really opened my eyes to just like what it's like to like see somebody else's thought process because i feel like i was missing that what'd you learn in that process that you've i i learned that shit doesn't really have to be perfect hell yeah like i would i would be around other artists and they would record and they would just do the first take and be like yeah that sounds okay like let's keep that that sounds fine right i don't know.

And I feel like I've kind of taken that into my songwriting. Just like first, second take, whatever like the real raw thing is just to keep it. And I feel like the more you mess with it, the less genuine it is. Do you tend to overthink? Do I what? Do you tend to overthink? Do I what? Do you tend to overthink? Um,

not anymore. I think I did like in my early songwriting, you can kind of hear a difference, but I think now it's just like, I don't second guess stuff. And I just like go into something with like a fuck it mentality and just like do it because that's what it's supposed to be anyways let's fucking go that's what i'm talking about fay let's fucking go girl hell yeah you know what time it is i'll collab with you this podcast is a collaboration

but um what about like personally did you overthink life or did you overthink like you know like we always always what was it i feel like i feel like when it comes to music i feel more confident to where i don't feel like i overthink things anymore like i feel like i've really found my comfortable place and doing this thing that I love to express myself. But when it comes to life, I'm like, I do just sit here and think about shit all day long. What's the biggest thing you think about that makes your head spin? I think just happiness in general. What is happiness? Am I going gonna be happy later like am i

happy because of it like i don't know i feel like i'm scared i feel like i'm i'm an emotional person and there's a lot of like sadness that i've written about but like sometimes i'm very scared to be sad let's talk about that what why um just because that shit can do damage to your mental health. Yeah. And I've experienced it, and I know what it's like, and I don't want to hit that again. Do you mind talking about it? What happened to you?

Nothing, really. When I first moved out of my parents' house, I wanted to live alone because I felt like I just thrived in this like headspace when I was alone. Um, and I was like being creative and like, even though I only felt like I wanted to write when I was sad, I was still being like, I felt like that's where I was meant to be at this this point um and and there's a moment where I felt like I I thrived in sadness like being like oh I'm sad and I'm able to write and I'm able to like express the sadness but I think it kind of took a while for me to be like, okay, I have to change something. Like I can't just keep living in my sadness. Like I have to help myself.

Yeah. It's kind of fucked up when you start writing good songs and you're all depressed and shit. You feel like that's the only way you're going to write good songs. Does that happen with you as well? For sure. Because there was a point where I only wanted to write when I was sad like I would never be happy and be like okay here I go I want to feel I feel like writing like no I feel like being around family or friends or like but when I was sad I was like this is the only thing I know how to do right now that will help yeah that makes sense like uh how'd you get out of that

phase like did you finally write a song when you're happy what song was um i i kind of did i think it was just like a moment of where like i had to tell myself i wanted change like nobody could tell me like it had to come from like inside and like wanting and like feeling passionate about changing. But yeah, I definitely wrote. I feel like in a good way was kind of like my turning point song for me. Yeah. What what what were you going through during that song? Yeah, what were you going through during that song?

I was falling in love and I was just like crying out of happiness all the time, which I've never experienced in my life. Like I cry laughing all the time, but I never cry like being like, oh, I'm just so happy right now. You know what I mean? Yeah, so I heard about this. So what is it like to be in love with another artist? I mean, it doesn't feel any different, you know?

It's not like, you know, this person could be a sailor and I would still feel the same way, you know? Hell yeah, hell yeah. But it is nice because it's just like, I feel like there was a level of just like understanding more than usual yeah it's it's pretty amazing because like with your career going so well how do you balance your public life and your private life yeah this is this is something that i've kind of been struggling with just because there's such a fine line um and I do feel like in my songwriting like I'm giving I'm feeding it to people I'm feeding my personal life to people um but then it's like

I go home and it's like I don't I want to have a separate private life like I it's I don't know it's so weird um but I don't know I'm still kind of working on that I really don't know. It's so weird. But I don't know. I'm still kind of working on that. I really don't have like an answer for it. Yeah, it's crazy because like when you're completely vulnerable through your art, what is there left to give to your private life every day? So like if it's the idea of like not giving everything to every fucking buddy else versus then you're not being completely authentic with your art.

So it's kind of like a catch 22 in a way. Do you go to therapy? I do. What do you guys, what do you guys talk about in therapy about this kind of stuff? Um, I, I think it's just like there's a level of acceptance that i haven't uh hit yet where it's like like i said i'm feeding this to people like i'm literally giving them very personal things and it's just like i don't know i think i have to just like um um you know like i, still working on it.

I think I just have to find a way to make it comfortable for myself, really. Yeah. And what is that comfortable? Like your cliche or idea of comfortable, even if it's the craziest obscure thing, what is comfortable to you? Comfortable to me is like being with my emotional support team, i.e. partner, family, best friend or two.

I feel like that's where I'm really hitting my safe spot. That's great. How do you find that safe spot when you're touring so much? Yeah. It's hard. I have really struggled

touring before. Just like mental breakdowns etc because it is at the end of the day it just adds up and it's just like too much um but my best friend is my tour manager so that helps. Like, that literally helps so much. So, have she ever had to yell at you because, like, you're gotta be late to a gig?

Sometimes. Sometimes. But it's like, you know, we fight for, like, five minutes and then it's like, oh, you're in this room. Yeah.

And a lot of times my family is so supportive. My family will, like, fly out to shows and stuff sometimes. How old are you, Faye? I'm 24. Holy shit. So, Faye? I'm 24. Holy shit.

So you're rolling in this thing. Are you green? How long have you been on tour with your band or with you? Oh, since... I mean, my first tour, I think, was 2017. What year is it now? Oh, my God. 20 years old.

Yeah. How was that like, not being to like, were you playing bars? Like, did you have to like play and leave the shows? I really was. There was one point where we like went to Europe and it was like the drinking age is like 18. And I was just like thriving in Europe. I never get a drink at all. Hell yeah.

Did you ever get into into addictions or anything? No, thankfully. I did not. That's good. Do you ever feel like... When was the lowest moments on tour? There was a tour where I... There was a point in my life where I was just saying yes to everything because it was kind of I was still young and I didn't really like know what I wanted to do or

who I wanted to be necessarily but like all I knew I was just like working really hard and to say no to things kind of upset me just because I felt like why am I working so hard if I'm not taking these opportunities um and there's a point where I was just saying yes to everything and it and it hurt so badly because I was like in over my head and I was like doing this tour for two months I have two days at home and then I go out of the country and then I come back and I'm and I just like couldn't do this thing. And there's this point where I was like in Berlin in between tours, but it was a press tour. So I wasn't with my band and I was just like sitting in a hotel room and like 20 people came into my hotel room scheduled to interview me. And by like interview 11,

I was just like, like, I just like lost it. Cause you're just like, you're just like answering the same questions, you know, but it's like different publications or magazines. And like, I don't know. And I think I literally canceled the tour that I was supposed to go on, which cost me so much money, but I was just like, my mental health can't do it. It's like, why would I do it?

Yeah, at the end of the day, it's just fucking money. Because if you can't be your own support system, nobody will be. You got to really trust that. You got to listen to your body because it's like, I do it too. I've been in a band since I was 18. I've been doing 250 shows a year. That's crazy. What's your band called? Andy Frasco and the UN. We're like a funk party band. Word. But it's like, it's the same thing. You know, it's like, I can't say no to people as well. Like, was that always a thing with you? Was it's like, I can't say no to people as well. Like, was that always a thing with you?

Was it always been hard for you to say no to people? Yeah, for sure. And even like when it comes to family, like, I can't say no to my mom. Like, that's my mom. And then it's like, there's a point where it's like, mom, I can't do this. Like, you know what I mean? Like, saying no is a hard, was a hard thing for me. But I think now I've gotten a lot better at it.

Let's fucking go. That's what I'm talking about, babe. Let's get this shit, girl. Hell yeah. I mean, I feel like that's the most important thing. Like, that's power in itself, even when you're feeling weak, you know? Like, so through these ups and downs, like, what have you learned about yourself that you felt maybe when you're in berlin you know you didn't know about yourself that you're more powerful than you thought you were i i guess i mean i i think i'm i underestimate myself is

what i would say whether that Whether that be power or whatever. Yeah. But I think I underestimate myself sometimes. But we're working on it. Yeah, that's fucking great. I want to know about your parents. What's going on with them? Were they always been supportive about your music

or was it a fight to play music in your family? They have always been really really supportive um and it wasn't necessarily a fight when i left or when i dropped out of college um where'd you go the agreement i went to belmont and nashville oh sick um but the agreement when i left was that i have a year to make money and move out with my own occupation or else i have to go back to school so i was just like working really hard on my gab year and i moved out and i just started doing music holy shit that is the same story with me my parents i i moved out they gave me a little bit of money for

the first couple months and said you're on your fucking own and like i feel like that kind of push in the ass kind of make if we want it it's gonna make us work harder was that with you as well yeah because it wasn't just like oh yeah you can do music and like we'll we're here for you it was like you can do music but like you have to actually do it or else. I guess you have to go back to school because we care about you. It is halftime at the Andy Fresco interview hour. Hello, everybody. Welcome to Sports with Dolop.

Israel style! It's got the shit about the game, it's got a weird fucking name, it's Sports with Dolop! That's right, I'm in the fucking motherland, and it's NBA free agency! Brr brr brr! Holy shit, and we got the Olympic fucking madness USA verse France in the finals Let's go Rudy Gobert fuck the USA So many fucking moves so much goddamn fucking money. I'm so jealous. I wish I was a baller I wish I was a shot caller. I wish I fucking Played in the NBA even at a minimum still be getting half a million a year.

Fuck! But let's go, Rudy and the Jazz! That's right, baby! NBA free agency! We got Kyle Lowry going to Miami. Evan Fournier and Kemba Walker going to New York. We got Alonzo Ball, Caruso, DeMar DeRozan going to the Bulls. All these motherfuckers getting paid. Fucking Clippers? What did they do? Nothing? They let Kawhi leave?

Teams making moves. Miami Heat signed the biggest free agent, Kyle Lowry. Where's Kawhi going? No one knows. Probably the Clippers because no one else has money. But then we got the Lakers on draft night making the ultimate fucking move. Going all in on Mr. Fucking Triple Double himself, Russell Westbrook. That's right. Adam, you fucking hate Russell Westbrook?

Well, he's back, baby. You were an OKC fan? Fuck you. Now he's back on your team with the Lakers. Y'all trash. Fuck off. Hold this puck, motherfuckers. They gonna be sick.

It's Sports with Doloff. But the Utah Jazz are going to be 2022 champions. It's going down. All right. I lost my voice. I'm done. Love you guys. Fuck you, Fresco.

Woo-hoo. Woo-hoo. So during that gap, did you stay in Nashville? No, hell no. I came back and I was living with my parents. What didn't you like about Nashville? It was just, I think a part of me is just definitely also biased. Like I love Atlanta.

So I think there's a lot of homesickness which is why i just already went into it hating the city but also it just felt so like competitive and clicky and like everybody was doing the same thing like it was like 250 versions of faye webster and it was like well how do i know like what i want to do if it's like I'm like being influenced or like being forced to like be around these people who are so similar and like I don't want to like conform or like not know what I you know and I like

I don't know it was just like not fun for music being like everyone just play guitar and sing I was like where's everybody else it's like you know that's the most fucked up thing about the new For music being... Like, everyone just play guitar and sing. I was like, where's everybody else? It's like, you know, that's the most fucked up thing about the new age music industry.

It's like, they want you to be original, but they put this fucking stamp, like everyone is the same, like, cookie cutter thing. How did you get through that mind state? Leaving Nashville? Yeah, I think it's... I think leaving Atlanta made me realize like how cool it is or like how much I thrived there.

But I think it didn't take me... Well, when I was in school, I was doing like the songwriting program. Like I was like majoring in songwriting, whatever that means. And there was like this one assignment where it was like pick your favorite hit song and explain why it's your hit song and write a seven page essay like some like bullshit and i chose like depressed in by courtney barnett and i got a b because it like didn't rhyme and like like an Australian song, not an American song.

And I was just like, what are y'all trying to teach us? So I was like, I should probably leave. Is Belmont an expensive school? Did you have to carry debt? Yeah, it's pretty. It's like a private,

expensive music school. And they're teaching you, they're making you write essays on fucking pop songs on pop songs I don't understand don't you have to live to write why are we studying

that's what I'm saying and I also feel like you can't teach somebody to be creative you can only help yeah trying to teach a process that i i don't know so it was so weird it is fucking weird that's why like i grew up in la where it was the same bullshit but like instead of writing you know being you know studying

songwriting you studied business marketing and like everything that isn't supposed to be creative in a sense so it's like yeah why why do we feel like we have to chase the rabbit's tail just to be accepted in the cool kids club? Right. It's fucked up. So when you moved back to Atlanta after you said, I'm fucking out of Nashville, fuck this. What was your first steps? How did you get your mind back?

I joined Awful Records almost immediately almost immediately yeah so what were they saying what was that what was their mindset to get you back into the creative well i had been friends with them for a while and at the at the moment like i had a record ready to go and i was just gonna put it out because I've done it before. Yeah. And I think just, like, being around this group of people literally every day, I think they were just like, why aren't you, like, why don't you just do it with us? Like, you're here anyways. So I just, like, I don't know.

It was kind of like a no-brainer to me. I was like, okay, like, if you don't, then I'm just doing it from my kitchen at home. Like, I guess let's do it. Why do we always have to feel like we have to run away from home to find out who we are when really when we come back, we find out who we are even more? Well, I think leaving makes you realize.

Leaving makes you realize who you actually are? Yeah, or where you want to be. Yeah. Because I think if I didn't leave Atlanta, maybe I'd be crazy and I'd be like, I need to go to this place. And then once I get there, I'm like, oh, yeah, then I guess I still miss Atlanta. So what did your parents say? So were you getting successful after that year?

Or was it like, oh, this is iffy. I'm still in a van playing for 10 people. I mean, I was still definitely an underground artist. And I wasn't necessarily making money. It was so perfect for this record, but I couldn't have stayed because it wouldn't have financially been a stable thing for me. But I think with that record at like, it was kind of like the first time that like, not my friends were listening to me or like, not my friends were following me on, on whatever.

listening to me or like not my friends were following me on on whatever um so it was a nice stepping stone but i think it wasn't until i was really touring a lot just shitty opening tours like 30 minute sets spending so much money to like follow this band open for them oh my god i think that that matters so much because you're just playing to a room of completely new people who don't know who you are. And I think that was a huge... And I did this for... I mean, I'm still doing it. I've been an opening act forever. But it's kind of important.

It's kind of a stepping stone that you can't really pass. What did you learn about being the opening band? About being a front person? Um, it's, I mean, I learned a lot because I was just playing music in my bedroom and now I'm like,

I have to like stand here being stared at and like entertain all these people. But were they big shows? Like who are you opening for? No, my first tour ever i forgot his name it's okay we could make it up just make it up his name is sean something i literally forgot his name but like he had one song in a movie and like uh i just remember also the opening act like after it's over and you go to the merch table and you're like the main

person who's having the show the headliner is like standing next to you and you're here and it's like everybody's just like passing your table and they're like trying to go to the headliner and it's like they have to literally form a line past my table and they're all just like don't look at like it's gonna be awkward if you look hurt hold on did that fuck you up that a lot did that fuck you up a little bit um or is this part of the game

i think it's just part of it i don't know i mean it's definitely like it's that it didn't make me feel confident whatsoever. Yeah, totally. But I don't know. I mean, I learned a lot. It's so hard to pinpoint something. So what was the, do you remember that first show that was like, damn, things are really happening now?

What was that show? Or was it like someone, was it an artist said like, damn, you're fucking good. Like what was that first moment for you? I don't even know I feel like I mean there were definitely tours where I was I was I mean probably my fit my first headlining tour was when I was like I was so used to doing these opening tours. And I was like, I don't

think I can, like, I can't sell these tickets by myself. But then I did. And it was just like, I don't know. I feel like that's kind of when it hit me that I can just do this forever as long as I want to. So how did you, like, my question is like, through those years of people just skipping you and going to the headliner, how did you, you know, being, you know, I'm insecure. I don't know if you were insecure during those years. Like, what kept you going? Did you just believe in your song so much? It's not that I believed in my songs, but it was just that I believed in this medium in which I expressed myself like I didn't know how else I could be a sane human being if I didn't write songs like it's the only thing I know

was it hard to express yourself as a kid no not really and i i picked up guitar really early um so i i just always remember just like singing some cover like so loud because it made me feel good you know what i mean yeah totally i don't know but i was i have been playing guitar forever. That's fucking amazing. And then like, so when was your first headline tour, 2019? Yeah, because it was my Atlanta Millionaires Club tour. So for, fuck, that's badass. That's what the tour was called? Atlanta's Millionaires Tour? I fucking love that.

So from there, and then 2020, Obama puts you in your playlist. Did you even have an idea that was going to happen? No, I think every time that comes out, it's always a surprise. So what happened after that? Did you start seeing a shit ton of likes or did Obama shoot you a text like, yo, Faye, you're killing it out there? Literally none of that. I mean, I'm sure the song he put on there, like, got a few more thousands of plays.

But I don't know. That didn't – I could have gone without that and still been confident in continuing music as a career. That's fucking awesome. I mean, you're really killing it. And, like, Pitchfork, like, congratulations on all your success. This is, like, really killing it. Thank you so much. That means a career. That's fucking awesome. I mean, you're really killing it. And like, Pitchfork, congratulations on all your success. This is like really killing it. Thank you so much. That means a lot. What's your fascination with, I heard you're

into yo-yos. Yeah. What's the deal? What do you love about it? It's just fun. It's really, you know, it's not that complex. Does it keep you present? Did I what? Does it keep you present? Yeah. I mean mean it keeps me um not bored sometimes which you know that can lead to feeling really bad but it's just fun and

it's it's really there's a whole community behind it that's really fueling the whole passion for me. Yeah. I've made so many friends and seen some really cool shit. What other passions do you have? What about your Atlanta? Do you like the Braves? Oh, I love the Braves. What's your fascination with baseball?

I think just growing up and going to the games all the time as a kid. I feel like it's just like a pastime. Yeah. And it just reminds me of childhood. Do you have any fun childhood baseball stories? I don't know if I do. I don't know if I do. I don't know if I do. Baseball's gotten way more interesting now than it has when I was a kid.

Are the Braves good now or what? They're not bad. Yeah. They were really, really good like 2019 or 2018. They were really, really good, like, 2019 or 2018. And then the pandemic year, I didn't follow it just because it's a physical connection to me. Like, I have to be sitting in the seat to, like, you know, like, really feel it. So you're not really into, like, watching baseball on TV and shit?

Well, if somebody got me a subscription, I would. Awful records. Let's get, put it in the band budget. What the fuck? Give Faye some, I'm going to get you a fucking league pass. Screw it, Faye.

Please. Oh man. So I, you know, I got, getting so busy and stuff, like how do you take time to like write new stuff and like try to be present? Yeah, it's hard. And it it's it's definitely like writing is something that i have to want to do and i haven't even picked up my guitar since my record came out just because i don't even i can't even think about writing a song right now yeah but i don't know i i just think it's like something you just have to like kind of wait out.

Like I don't, I can't force myself to write. I can't like set a set of time or like set a date to, to want to write. It's kind of just like, we just really have to feel like I want to do it. Well, and it's a,

it's that idea that you always thought that you had to write a song when you're sad. So the idea is like, you're just, when the vessel opens up, that's when you write a song. So is it hard, you're just when the vessel opens up, that's when you write a song. So is it hard for you to just like sit down and just write? No, I feel like when I am in the mood or like feeling passionate about it, it becomes so easy. Like all my songs are just one

sitting 20, 30 minutes, I'm done. And I don't revisit it until it's time to record it. 20, 30 minutes, I'm done. And I don't revisit it until it's time to record it. How many songs do you, are you a perfectionist? Like how many songs do you play or do you write and then do you pick for a record? There's no song that doesn't make it. So you just do 12 and in. 12 and fuck it, we're done.

I'm writing 12 songs. 12 songs a year and it's going on the record. Hell yeah. Fuck it. Let's a year, and it's going on the record. Hell yeah. Fuck it. Let's do it. Fuck it. I'm like that, too. Like, what the fuck?

Some guys, I'm just like, I don't know. I'm very fascinated with people who could write just 40 fucking songs. And like. Yeah. It's crazy. Who are your big songwriter influences? Definitely Courtney Barnett you meet her um I haven't met her what the fuck you guys are like simpatico um I'm sure one day but it's kind I kind of like that I haven't met her yet

yeah who would be like just like what tell me about it say that again what why don't why do you feel like you're okay with not meeting her so far i don't know you know when you like not idolize somebody but you like have always only known such great things about this this person and it's like you just have such a great picture in your mind of this person. I know she's a fucking great person, but it's cool to just be a kid and think of this person that you'll never meet. Or what if she sucks as a person? You just don't know. It could be me and your heroes. I don't know if you watched baseball back in the day, like Chipper Jones and stuff.

I used to love Chipper Jones. And I would love to meet him because I heard he's such a sweet guy, but I don't want to meet him because... Dude, I have a picture of his room. I don't know where it is. East New York Bridge. It's not there anymore. That was when the Braves were fucking popping a little bit, actually.

Yeah, for sure. You must have been super young when that was vibing. Who got you into sports? Like who's like your best friend in your family? That's hard to answer. Yeah. I'm literally so close with my family. Was there ever a point in your life that you guys weren't close?

Yeah, when we were all living in the same house. Tell me about it. Why weren't you close when you were living in the same house? You all go to school and you come home and it's like, how was school? And it's like, it wasn't, it sucked, mom. And then you just go to your room and hang out. And then I think it wasn't until my oldest brother went to college

and he wasn't in the house anymore. And he came, I remember he like came home two weeks after he left for college. And I was just like, Jack! And I was like freaking out. And I was like, I think that's when we really became, you know, not just siblings, but like best friends. Yeah, that's beautiful. But it's like, it's that idea, like when you say like say the idea of missing your boyfriend or your family members, can you have that same philosophy when you leave them for a tour?

And then do you feel like the love grows longer? Or do you feel like you need them there with you at this important moment in your life? I think both. I think it does grow stronger. And like I said, it takes leaving to like understand how important something is to you but there are times where i'm like okay this is a highlight of my career you have to come like you have to come with me i mean yeah you're fucking popping and like i'm just pretend you're my merch seller we'll get you in yeah uh who would you want to meet three people dead or

alive to have uh lunch with who would it be oh interesting um um number one kahendi wiley who's that he is a crazy painter just the most insane portraits and i and i 2017 to this day have been obsessed with him um and he also played a really important part in just like being a creative inspiration for me how so uh well when i was like taking photos for a while which i still do i'm just like really busy um but yeah i i kind of drew a lot of inspiration from his paintings and like yeah i think you can kind of see that through my photography sometimes. What do you love about photography? What do I love about photography?

Yeah, what got you into that? Just, um, when I realized that this songwriting course I was taking in college was bullshit, I just like dropped it and then picked up so many electives cause I knew I was going to drop out and photography was one of them. And like I learned how to use like a camera, like not a point and shoot, but like a camera. Wow. Um, but yeah, Kahindi has like a lot of like lot of colors and patterns in his work. And I feel like I've always liked, I don't know, just matching stuff in my photos and my portraits. That's amazing.

Who's another one that you want to have lunch with? Hmm. hmm um who else maybe ren hang who's that one of my favorite photographers but he's no longer with us but he he is a legend. What do you love about him? I like his style. He's kind of like very harsh flash, like point and shoot kind of stuff, but he'll make it really weird. And I think there was a point where they banned his photography for being crazy.

Like what? What was the craziest thing he had? You just got to look it up. I'm going to check it out. That sounds like up my alley, dude. That sounds up my alley. One last person. Who do you got?

Can it be a fictional character? Of course. I would say Mista from JoJo's Bizarre Adventures. Why? Tell me. They were just my favorite character and they had the coolest. They had these little bullets that loved him so much and they would like whisper him whisper to him and be like you're so cool we love you you're our favorite human and i just like i don't know i appreciated that i wish i had bullets that would tell me that every day

what kind of you do it's your boyfriend or you know yeah that's true that's great what does your boyfriend do? Is he an artist or songwriter? He's an artist He's in a group called Danger Incorporated Yeah, it's him and this dude Louis Duffelbags Hell yeah

And they're very sick Do you guys ever collab together? We have. I mean, we have such random stuff together that I'm sure nobody will ever hear. Is it hard to write? Like you said, when you're done writing, is it just like you guys don't do that for your hobby

or anything, write together, have fun together? You guys mostly just spend your time together. Exactly. It's beautiful. Faye, thanks so much for being on the show. I got one last question for you. And,

uh, what do you want to be remembered by? Hmm. What is your answer for you? Um, I feel like I want to be remembered by when people talk to me, I'm fully listening. That's nice. That's a good thing.

I don't know. I want to say like being able to relate to in the sense that like, I don't know what I found so empowering from people who have inspired me is that I felt like I was heard or like understood, but I didn't have to say it like somebody else already knew, which is like, you know, like, that's crazy. All they know, that's how I feel. Like I relate. So yeah, i hope people feel that from me do you think it's been easier for you because now that you're being full transparent with your art or you always been full transparent i know i have not and i think i i am now because i admired that so much in other other artists That's beautiful. Well, Faye,

keep fucking kicking ass out there. Keep falling in love. Don't get burnt out and tell these fucking major labels to suck it because you can do whatever the fuck you want, Faye, okay? You really can.

Shout out to Nick for finally opening a cult. Oh, yeah. You finally did it, Nick. What an incredibly abrupt segue. You did. I have a cult website, nickgerlockscult.org. Orgcom. You can do.com, but it's way more fun to do.org.

I was one of your competitive cults. What do you call that? No, I just did an analysis of you as a cult leader. You're pretty good. I like that. It wasn't every come every cult doesn't need to be competing you know okay some can be like you know so you're like a supportive cult we can be vertically integrated our cults yeah i mean kind of like two businesses like we don't really we just serve each other we don't really our operations don't really cross over that's

vertical you know what i mean so you So you're making posts about what? Like, what do you talk... Why is Limp Bizkit on your mind? First of all, the Lollapalooza set was the most incredible thing I've seen. A pandemic, it passed Bo Burnham, it passed Tiger King, it passed...

What are some other... Mayor from East Town. None of them can compete with Lollapalooza's live set Limp Bizkit led by Fred Durst, the new and improved Fred Durst. Okay. He is new and improved. Oh, my God.

It was incredible. I wasn't like, you know, I was, I mean, I was a white guy from Fort Wayne, Indiana when Limp Bizkit. I mean, I was in like in my teens when that shit came out. Yeah, same. And that, I mean, let's just say i was in their target demo and i still didn't really i wasn't i like the guitar part of it then but fred durst i just couldn't get with him it was a little too whatever for me a little too maybe aggressive too much testosterone

now he i don't know what happened he i think he had a couple kids he's pushing 50 or he's 50 he's relaxed he's chill he's like first of, he came out dressed like a dad. Perfect move. Okay? Because it's a chess match right now between him and the media. Because everybody wants him to fail, I think. Yeah, because of the whole Woodstock doc that came out. Well, that and just everybody wants everyone to fail now. Especially

things like that. It's like the Mountain Dew Monster Energy Drink thing. And you would think they probably have a lot of fans that may be like on the anti-vax side. Everybody's mad at those people right now. You know what I mean? Fred Durst says, okay, what are they going to make? Okay, he's playing chess.

We're all playing checkers. He's like, what are they going to? Okay, I'm old because that music doesn't translate if the guy looks too old doing it, you know? So what does he do? He comes out dressed like a fucking gen x or gen yeah gen x dad perfect now you have nothing against him second thing he does he has this new relaxed kind of chill vibe he's like just being fun and funny not taking himself too seriously

but still doing the songs the right way right yeah perfect it's not like he's not hitting you over the head with it anymore he knows what he he is. He knows why you're here. He knows what's going on. Let's have a fucking good time. It's a little bit like you have the same thing. Wes Borland is still a guitar wizard. Yeah. Why are you calling them a jam band?

Because they did some jam band types. I wrote a blog about this. Six Reasons They're a Jam Band Now. They did some things that were markedly more jam band-like think they must have it's probably on accident but there's just some things in their performance they're like like how he was like saying death to plastic i said on my blog if you heard if someone told you like bill nursey said that at red rocks before their encore you would 100% believe that, right? Right?

Right. Or no, I said that about, there's this one part where he goes, I don't know exactly verbatim what he said, but he's like, do you love music? I love, love, love music. Give me some love, love, love. If you love music.

That was what I said. If Bill Nershey said that right before String Cheese hit their encore at Night 3 at Red Rocks, if I told you that, if I put that name under the quote instead of Fred Durst, you would 100% believe me, right? Yeah, I probably would.

Also, they did an 80s cover. Very jam-banned, right? Yeah, and they respected a DMX. That was tight. That was cool. That's not very jam-bandy. I'm trying to think of what the other things I... Okay, well, they did the 80s cover, right?

Yeah. That was great. They did two 80s covers. That's like the thing, right? I don't have it in front of me, but those are the main talking points. So if... Of course, they're not a jam band.

Do you think we'll see Limp Bizkit? They have hit songs, you know what I mean? You think we'll see Limp Bizkit on this lock-in festival set? I don't think they're in that target than that. I would love to see them at summer camp. I think they would rage at summer camp. Yeah, that'd be tight. I don't know. People would put them on Sunday. It's a big week. It is

summer camp week. Yep. What are you going to do? I'm doing you, your thing. We're doing the VIP podcast thing. And then I am doing my solo music a little bit after that. Yeah, I can't believe you're a solo act now well i have a band with me but it's my music actually drew helped me write a couple of the tunes i'm doing at the end you think it's gonna be wrong together you think it's gonna get

canceled summer camp i don't know i don't want to predict because we're doing this a week before that so maybe yeah i don't know i don't want it to but then in my mind if it does i'll think they have done it for the right reasons and it's probably better that was canceled you know i don't want to make this pandemic about me you know what i mean but i'm vaccinated i did all the right stuff so can you guys get your shit together yeah it's gonna it's gonna get i don't want to be preachy but just get the free medicine i don't know yeah it's not medicine even it's not even that yeah i don't yeah it's crazy i have a theory that no one's bringing this up medicine. I don't know. Yeah. It's not medicine even. It's not even that. Yeah. Yeah, it's crazy. I have a theory that no one's bringing this up about people who don't want to get vaccinated.

There's a lot of different reasons. I've never heard anyone say this yet. Scared of needles. Do you think there's a certain subset of the population who's not getting it because they're scared of needles? And they're just not admitting it? I mean, I'm scared of needles. I couldn't look at the i mean i'm scared of needles i couldn't look at the person when they vaccinated me i barely felt it when they did mine i have a really good second shot hurt fucking bad the pain the actual part of the shot it was painful the reaction it

was painful and then i was passed out for a day and a half i got that jj to the dome one time uh i was pretty down for about 24 hours but it was was worth it. I'm hopped up on the Pfizer. Nice. Did you get it? Were you in Denver when you got it? I got it. I don't remember you getting it. I got it before the tour and then I just got late and I had to take it again a month and a half later.

I didn't get my second dose until a month and a half later. Okay. Well, anyway, Limp Bizkit. We got it. So I'm glad. So Limp Bizkit, you love him? I think that was just an incredible performance. Wes Borland,

man, there's just no one like that guy. Yeah. He doesn't play any dumb bullshit ever. I want him to come on the podcast so bad. I'll get him on.

We'll get him on. Wes, we love you. We're not going to make fun of Limp Bizkit. We want to hear your whole story and why you're such a genius. I mean, yeah.

I'd like to hear it, too. I mean, I'm a product of Limp Bizkit kid, too. I remember in sixth grade. Oh, man. When you're in sixth grade, that shit slaps even harder. I was in high school, so I was a little, I was like into jazz. Dude, made out with a girl, scammed. What?

You know what scamming is? No. It's when you make out. In sixth grade, they call it scamming. They call it scamming? Yeah, like scam. Nice. And I got scammed with a girl. God, you make out in sixth grade. They call it scamming. They called it scamming. Yeah, like scam nice and I got to scam with a girl during faith because it's kind of like a sweet song and then all of a sudden do

a mosh pit. Yeah, so it's like I was like a punk rock kid. Yeah, you were a kid. Yeah, pop. There's no punk. This is la. You know, you guys aren't pop punk rock. Don't know. No effects don't hey no no effects any person from terror any person from new york would punk is way more punk than any la person that says they're punk explain no don't need to just look at the people from new york and look at the people from la okay if i said all right there's fucking 10 people from la versus 10 people from new york that say they're punk and they're going to get in a fight. Who are you betting on?

Definitely New York. Yeah. I don't care what the odds are. But you got summer camp. Like Yellow Card is not a punk band. You know what I mean? They have the Ramones. On fire yet again, girl. Bam.

Is this shit show going to be likable? We're working on season three right now. I think it's going to be even better than season two. Because we're bringing back the live element. 100% live. Which we're just better. You're just better live. Everything is.

Everything's better. And it's just going to be, we're not limited by the quarantine pandemic stuff like we were last time. Yeah. It's going to be more in-house stuff. You have a new album you're going to be promoting, which is always fun.

And we're going to make sketches from the, We're going to try to make the chat room as interactive as we can. Yeah. So, yeah. Also... Did you bring any good ideas or what? Not today, no. You just came to hang out? It's been like three hours. Plus, I don't know if we want to give them right now. Yeah, I know. We got to...

I have fun interacting with people online in general, so I think I'm already prepared for that. What I think you should be in this show is the guy who reads a chat to me. Yeah, perfect, because I can add my little tone. So you'll have your computer, and you'll have your little seat at the couch. Andy Richter style.

100%, but millennial. Nick Gerlach, Andy Richter, yeah. I love Andy Richter. But yeah, exactly, because first of all, I'm just good at. Yeah. I love Andy Richter. But yeah, exactly. Because first of all, I'm just good at the internet. You see me on there. I'm sort of a genius at it. Second of all, I love to mess with people.

I can have my little joke. Man, our show's going to get canceled, bro. Is this fall tour going to get canceled? I don't know. Do you kind of want it to so you can just focus on the show? No, no. I'm just kidding. I know.

But it's a weird thing to think about that we're like back to where we were two years ago if that's going to happen. But I think... I don't know. If they shut venues down, then they have to shut restaurants down. And they're not going to do that.

I don't think they do have to shut restaurants down if they shut down venues because of the way a venue is different. So they're going to shut all bars, all alcohol. I guess. I'm not saying they're going to. I'm just saying if it happens, I'm not going to be incredibly surprised. Andy Frasco, live at Johnny's Pizza.

I don't know. What's going to happen? You're going to see string cheese at Willie's Burger House. Okay. Because if it's a food thing, if you're talking that, if food... No, I think it's just because

of the way they're seated at a restaurant. It's not like shoulder-to-shoulder kissing the whole time, you know? Oh, fuck. They're not scamming to Limp Bizkit. Yeah, I don't know

what to tell you guys. I think hopefully the tour continues. We start tour next month. Our biggest fall tour ever. Yeah, exactly a month. These are all the biggest rooms we've ever played. If it gets canceled, you can say you did it

and you can lie and say they're all sold out already. Just lie. Just fucking lie. Oh my God. Shout out to everyone for our sold out tour. Yeah, you can't really double check it. So fuck it. Yeah, we sold out every room.

What else is going on, Nick? What's going on your head you have what have you been doing your girlfriend's at fish basketball no she's at home visiting her parents but she went to fish what'd she say give me the report what's going on in the fish concerts she didn't go the second night no why not i don't know she's because she's going to see her family and i don't think she wanted to be around too many people was it packed i think so yeah a lot of people going to see her family, and I don't think she wanted to be around too many people. Was it packed? I think so, yeah. A lot of people go into the fish shows. I hope you hippies are vaccinated,

because I know that a lot of you guys get your little natural fucking crystals, and you think you don't have to. No. I think they are. I think they say they are. Really? Do you think people are lying? You know why I think people are lying sometimes? My sister lied to me. Because people fucking lie

all the time. My sister lied to me about it. She came out to visit. She came out as a person who's a conspiracy theorist. She didn't want to get judged, though. I guess people are judging people hard if they're not getting vaccinated. Well, she lives in Southern California, the capital of judgment.

Are you kidding me? It's the most passive-aggressive town on earth, right? Oh, man, I can't believe I got out of there. Do you miss living there, though, kind of? I miss. You haven't lived there in forever, right? Like 10 years? I haven't lived there since I was 18. You used to live in New York?

I lived in New York when I was off the road. Then Kansas City. That's fun. Now Denver. I bet living in Kansas City was I was off the road. Then Kansas City. Now Denver. I bet living in Kansas City was kind of good for you. Yeah, it slowed me down. It was right when I got off Coke, so there was nothing to do out there. Well, and people there are better than the coast. They just are.

We've been over this. Midwest is good. Yeah, LA is just like everyone's just so lame. Just like, what do you do? You know what I mean? I'm a musician. How big, how popular are you?

Because you haven't played a show in three years. Are you a musician? You haven't made an album ever. People just say they're a musician. Why are people

so passive aggressive about? Why are they passive aggressive where you're from? You know, you're from there. What's the deal? I think it's just insecurity.

I think they're afraid of someone getting more successful and making more money. Is everyone passive-aggressive or just people in entertainment? The local,

I don't know. My friends were pretty passive-aggressive. That's what I'm saying. It's not like that. It's just like, everyone's just like that. Yeah, why?

I don't know. Pacific Northwest has that vibe, too. It's like... Are they just afraid to be vocal? I don't know what it is. Yeah.

They're very opinionated, but they don't really want to share their opinion. That's why they go to therapy. I feel like they all think they're the smartest, coolest person around. Yeah. You think that? I don't know.

I can't figure it out, but it's annoying. Yeah, yeah, yeah. New York's not like that, though? I feel like New York is like, we're from New York. We're fucking proud. Yeah, but they're like, yeah, that's true. But I like the way they present it better. I like blunt people that are just like, this is how it is. I like when

someone's like, I've had a few people just tell me they don't, because I can be a kind of a lot right off the bat. I'm just how I am. I don't ease you into it. And I've had people be like, I didn't really like you at first. I'm like, I fuck with that. I don't like that. That makes me want you to like me, because I know that you're the kind of person

that doesn't fuck around with how you think. If you don't like me, I like you more almost because you're like honest. Is this why you started a cult? No, I started a cult because I was bored. And I wanted a website where I could have all my... Your stuff.

Yeah. So do you have subscribers? Are people following the cult? People are on there. I'm getting about 250 hits a day, which is pretty solid for a week old website. I've been putting out... I like to write. People

maybe don't know this about me. I like to blog a little bit. I used to do it on Facebook or I'd do one for Live4Live Music. I was like, fuck this. I'm going to put it on my own thing, on my own terms. I don't want to wait. I don't want to... I did one about the Limp Bizkit. I did one about you and how you're a cult leader.

I did one about a real cult that's based in Minnesota. It's a weird name. I can't know how to pronounce it. I did one about tier three jam band fans. What is that about? What's tier three? Tier one is like Fish and Grateful Dead. Tier two is like

Umphreys. That level. Panic. People who sell out Red Rocks. Tier 3 is like the up-and-comers. Goose is probably getting to be Tier 2 already. Let's say like Spaff. Twiddle.

You know what I mean? What is your take on tier 3 so they're the fans we've talked about where they like their up and coming bands but I'm right so they're like the fans that are like they have an up and coming

band where they're from and they're like a huge fan of it and they hate every other jam band but then once the band starts to get too popular they don't like bands that are successful sort of you know that's kind of like la yeah as soon as you get some success it's like but they root for you and then you get some success and they don't like you it's weird right it's like when you want your favorite people to be happy yeah i don't know people are just why don't people want people to be happy i don't know it's just maybe... Why don't people want people to be happy? I don't know.

It's just maybe like a sort of tribal competitive sort of, you know? I want you to be happy. A mating ritual, if you will. I want you to be happy forever, Nick. I don't even care about being happy. I don't know. Happiness is sort of weird, right? Tell me about it.

Well, you know how like... Actually, I had this conversation yesterday with scott flynn do you know him he's a really amazing trombonist um he was talking about just happiness in general because he's a kid making her happy blah blah blah and then we were talking about him oh he was kind of talking about how i'm not emotionless sort of which you know i kind of can come off that way yeah I'm not very sad. I'm pretty much the same every time we hang out, right? And I was like, it's not that I'm emotionless. It's that I just can process.

I've just taught myself to just process my emotions very quickly because I don't see emotions as good or bad. You know what I mean? Yeah. Every emotion is just an emotion, right? So, like, you can use them as tools if you want right so if i ever get mad i just like harness it or just process it just think about what you're mad about usually it's some bullshit right yeah almost everything is bullshit and nothing matters once

you realize that anyway so i was like so then we got on the topic topic of people who like like first of all there's toxic like negativity right people who are just like always down right but what about toxic positivity these people who strive to be happy 100 of the time they're like obsessed with their own happiness to the point where that's almost damaging right you don't want to be happy all the time that's dumb no can't be your birthday every day no that's like just as bad as being depressed, I think, all the time. Well, you know, that's the problem with social media. It's all people see is this, like, they think, like, every day is your fucking birthday.

Yeah, I kind of like the people that are sort of, like, sort of down sometimes. That's why you like Facebook. Yeah. Facebook is just a garden of atrocities and crazy people. I can't listen to any of that shit. But I just don't take it seriously. Once you take it seriously, you got to get off. You know what I mean? But I like to look at I just don't take it seriously you can't once you take it seriously you got to get off you know I mean but I like to look at the other people that take it seriously but you've

read my shit I'm just like you guys are dumb you know I mean people are so dumb on there oh anyway so don't worry about it well thanks for being on the show Nick I you have any no no all right cool we love you and oh sound to the talent show right yep yep is it happening what's going on give me we're getting a little more but it's just trickling man i think that people are a little apprehensive because of the covid thing yeah yeah they're like oh i need to you know i mean which i get it but you know i don't know what to tell you just sign up all right we're gonna keep it safe we're gonna keep it safe everything is safe going to keep it safe.
