Hey, it's Schwartz. It was great seeing you in Chicago. I want to let you know how proud I am with you that for the first time in four, almost what, five years of working with you, I sat out in the venue for a minute after the show, was talking to some people, and was thinking, hey, why don't we go back and we'll have a drink, say hi to Andy. And the best part about this was when I get back there, you're fully sleeping. And I just want you to know that sometimes you need to do that. You need to not party, and you need to get some sleep.

I'm really proud of you. I'm proud of you for taking the initiative, saying goodbye to everyone, closing yourself in a private room, and getting some sleep. Good job, dude. Keep it up. I feel like I'm going to make a toast. Everybody, this is a dream come true. I love you guys with all my heart. And I just hope we just keep doing this until we're fucking 155 years old. Cheers.

How are you doing? This is going to be more fun than last week. Yeah, last week was dark. I like that. It was honest. It was honest. You guys should have... You think it was dark. You should hear the 20 minutes we cut out.

The look on your face the whole time, it was just so... I got my co-host Nick Gerlach here. How are you doing, Nick? I'm okay. I'm a little stressed. Yeah. Why? Why do you think you're stressed?

We got to find this hard drive. Fucking Nick lost my hard drive. I feel like I'm getting little stressed Yeah why do you think you're stressed We gotta find this hard drive Fucking Nick lost my hard drive I feel like I'm getting too much of the blame I mean I'm not gonna get into it Bo was there too We can't get into it because if I explain why it's not my fault We're not putting the blame on anyone I want to put the blame on you

It was a group thing you can put it on me a little bit for sure But also I still think there's a great chance we're going to find it. We lost like five interviews, six interviews from the podcast that I worked my ass off. We'll find it. All tour. I feel like we'll find it. All my days off, Nick. I want you

to feel this guilt trip. I feel guilty. When you're having those great days off, you're just chilling, watching television, just smiling, just like, ah, it's's a day off then you look to the right and i'm grinding away trying to do research for a guest i have no idea who it is right before the interview how does that make you feel nick i feel terrible that i have to work hard i feel terrible about it it's all good i'll just do it again i didn't know that that hard drive had your entire world on it either to be fair i had my whole world but i didn't know

that i thought it was just some like it's okay i'll just keep working also every day on my days also there's fine there's still a very solid chance it's been one day like it might turn up you know i mean it's all good i like turn up it gives me another excuse to like talk to people i haven't talked to. I got to redo Neil Francis again. Didn't you kind of want to redo his anyway? Yeah, this is going to be the third time I'm going to be interviewing him. I'm sorry.

I feel bad. But it's not just my fault. We can't get into all the details. Why? It was my fault. I left all my clothes there. I almost left your ID. Did I tell you about that?

No. It was on the counter by the TV, behind the TV. And I like just did. That's why I'm fucked up about not I didn't see the hard drive when I did the dummy check. But I saw your ID. And also the hard drive was black, you know, dark. So it's like, and that wouldn't

I get it. I had to pack your clothing back. Yeah, I got wasted and went to someone's hotel and and so it's like it it's a 50 50 i feel terrible though if that makes you feel better i feel it's been eating me alive for two days and i'm just i don't want i you know you can't show it i know but this is my passive aggressiveness i like it i deserve it kind of a little i don't deserve to give you passive aggressiveness i can handle it i'm gonna you know i mean i'm working on my passive aggressiveness. I can handle it. I'm going to, you know what I mean? I'm working on my passive aggressiveness.

I'm trying to not let things get me. Well, sometimes your passive aggressiveness is funny as shit, though, is the thing. I kind of like it. Like what? Just when you do it to your manager, I almost call him your boss. Who, Schwartz? Yeah. He kind of is my boss.

Sort of. So what do I do to him compared to my passive aggressiveness? Just the way you talk to him is very PA. It's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, I'm trying to think of like a good example. You'll be like, well,

if we were doing this and maybe we'd be doing this, you know what I mean? Like maybe if we could make this happen, I don't know. Like, have you talked to them?

Have you like talked to them at all? There's this one thing we're trying to work out right now. Yeah. And you're just like, have you even talked to him?

It's, you know what I mean? As if they don't, like, like he doesn't even think about it or something. I know. I get so fucking... I heard about it today. You work hard. You're focused on your thing.

I know. I'm just like, when I get tunnel vision... Michael Myers! Remember I told you you're Michael Myers. Am I a sociopath? No, but you have some sociopath shit in you. Like what're too you have way too much empathy to be a sociopath though like you know what i mean yeah you just don't have a lot this isn't an insult you just don't have a ton going on you don't have a very like this is not an insult by the way you don't have like a like a

your life doesn't have a ton of variety you know know? Yeah. I mean, it does. No. But it all circles. Like, you travel. You do cool shit. But, like, it's all your career. Yeah, I got nothing. You don't have, like... And it's not an insult. No.

I'm not taking it as an insult. Okay, some people would. No. Like, you don't have a girlfriend. You don't have a dog. A hobby. Your hobby is, like, part of your career. You have, like...

Like, what is your career? Are you a musician? Yeah. Then, is this a hobby? You're,'re like more than just a musician right yeah so maybe everything my career is uh in all aspects just absorbs all my time and maybe that's why okay to make up for losing the hard drive i will do the last year of podcasts i've done with you for free cheers all right we just cheers free. Cheers. We just cheers to our microphone. Oh, fuck. That's pretty good. If that's my worst fuck up in the year

I've known you, that's pretty good, actually. I still think we're going to find it, though, in my heart. Really? I hope so. Whenever this happens to me, I end up finding it. If it's not at the hotel. That's my thing. We went hotel, van, did a dummy check, because that's where I saw the ID.

It's not adding up. The only way it's not there is if it fell out of a bag. Because we were both carrying four bags, me and Bo. Thank you. Clap it up for Bo and Nick. Packing up all my gear on a blackout slumber. It's kind of fucked fucked because I did kind of fuck up,

but I also was doing you a favor. I know. That's the bad. That's why I don't want to guilt trip you. But you can guilt trip me a little bit because it's kind of funny. It's like a good bit. I get that, but I don't. You got me good on stage last night.

Oh, my God. You laid into me. The whole band was like, what the fuck? I was like, what did I say again? I mean, you went. It was pretty deep. It was good. You were like, his precious podcast he He loves so much and then he deletes

my whole. You made it sound like I deleted it. Your whole band was looking at me like and I was like, dude, it's fine. Nick, it's I give it to him all day. You can get me back. You know, I mean, he did give me a smirk like I got you so I was proud. I'm gonna get me. So I

did. It's fun. I mean, you gotta have fun with it at least. Yeah. I still think we're going to find it. Why does Wisconsin drink so much? Who knows? Maybe when you're doing

they'll be better because now you know them a little better, you know? Why does Wisconsin drink so much? I don't think there's much else to do.

Have you been here in January? No. Well, once. My family lives out here. Oh my God. All I do is just drink all day.

Because you can't go any... That's negative two. I know. How do people live in cold weather like this? I do. I do. I mean, where I grew up is not quite like this, but pretty fucking cold. Yeah.

I mean, you grew up... That's where your parents live, so that's mainly why you grew up there, but... Denver's not that cold. You sort of get used to it. No, Denver is not that cold. And when it is cold, it's, like, pleasant. It doesn't rip. Like, in Wisconsin, the wind cuts through your skin. Have you ever been in a blizzard?

Oh, yeah. Where you get stuck at a bar? Yeah, I'm from Fort Wayne. My senior year of high school, I'm from Fort Indiana, which is like not far off the lakes of northern Indiana, right? They have blizzards there? Hell yeah. My senior year of high school,

we missed two straight weeks of school for snow. Two weeks? Two fucking... And it was coming right off of Christmas break, we missed two straight weeks of school for snow. Two weeks? Two fucking... And it was coming right off of Christmas break, so I had a month off. It was the shit. What'd you do? Just fucking played Nintendo 64 all day.

I mean, I was like 17, so I didn't... Were you into drinking or anything? No, I didn't really drink in high school. I drank like three times. Have you ever been to a bar for like 48 hours? During a blizzard? No, but that sounds incredible, and I know the bar I'd want to do it at. Which one?

The Mousetrap, duh. In Indianapolis? Yeah, it's just, you know. That's your spot. First of all, they got great food. Good food. Yeah, for bar food. You're going to be there for two days.

For bar food, it's incredible, I think. And I've eaten there 400 times. If it was bad, I would have, you know what I mean? And there's like some healthy stuff in there, so you can pepper that in too. Like what? They got salads. Like the soup isn't that bad. It's just vegetables and meat.

But you can also have terrible, terrible cheese. So what do you need in a blizzard? You need warmth. You need... Of course. Well, like say if you're at a bar for 48 hours. Okay. That's a great place to be.

They got running water. Here's the thing. As long as your power doesn't go out in a blizzard, you're at a bar for 48 hours. Okay. That's a great place to be. They got running water. Here's the thing. As long as your power doesn't go out in a blizzard, you're good. Yeah. That's what keeps you warm. I have a feeling this winter is going to be bad. Yeah. Maybe.

I feel like it's something. It's going to be something. Fuck. I'm glad we talked about the hard drive in the podcast. It's a way to air it out. I was so bummed out yesterday. And I realize it's half my fault. And I also realize it's just the theme of this fucking tour.

It's actually like the eighth worst thing that's happened. I know. It's not the worst. You know, I got to talk to people for an hour, a couple more times. It's not the end of the world. You didn't lose like six grand or something. You're right. What's the worst that happens?

They get to talk to you for an hour. That's fun. I don't know. Maybe they'll... I like talking to you. Yeah. I don't really like people that much. Hold on.

You like what? You like talking to me? You're good to talk to. Like about what? All kinds of stuff. Okay, let's gas Andy up because he's been having a rough... No, you've been doing good this week.

I'm good. I'm good. Shout out Al. He's really good. Yeah, Al. He's doing good, right? He finally got his niche. I mean, it's never going to be... Al Smith, our replacement drummer for... You know, it's never going to Shout out Al. He's really good. He's doing good, right? He finally got his niche. I mean, it's never going to be...

Al Smith, our replacement drummer for... It's never going to be Beats. Beats got COVID. In case Beats is listening, it's never going to be the level of Beats. I know. He's been doing it for 10 years. But for a guy who's been around for two weeks,

holy shit. He's really stepping up. I mean, I don't even notice sometimes. We finally gave... The singing, obviously. Yeah. We finally... I feel like he's finally comfortable enough

under the set where I could give him drugs and give him alcohol. Yeah, I mean, it's just learning the tunes. You have to... Like mushrooms. Yeah. And with him,

I totally understand the position he's in. That's like... If people don't know, I actually play saxophone, which has been a theme on tour for me. Isn't that a mindfuck? Yeah, you guys don't know. I'm like a working saxophonist.

I am a side man for a lot of people, and I understand the place he's in where it's like you're the new guy and you have to like, you don't really, you know, there's knowing a tune and there's like, I've played this tune 300 times. It's a totally different vibe. And he's doing great. And he's a cool hang.

Yeah, and it's kind of nice to have, you know, because Floyd, his dad died. And so it's kind of like a new blood and it kind of i like having new blood around yeah you're good at it you're good at like you don't really change how you are either but guy who comes in it's just andy i don't either yeah that's why i like al i like you know i didn't weird him out too much at first or what about when you come into like a band situation we've like as the new guy do a lot there's some bands who like it's hard for them

to adjust to you well the thing with me is like i'm usually doing one or two gigs and they know i'm gonna be gone in a couple days so they're pretty so you know what i'm saying though so they're pretty nice to me it's not something where they're like what's the deal are we gonna have to like i'm gonna have to go to this guy's wedding you know what i mean yeah it's more like oh you know this guy's probably good we're getting money to come here but you know what i mean but it's fun but you know some people well because i have a very like uh you know a unique personality and it's like not something that doesn't it's right away you know what i mean so i have to kind of watch that a little bit with yeah you know but now i've been hired by so many i can't believe we've been together now, what, two and a half months straight? Two months? And we haven't fought.

I don't fight with people, bro. I know. I just like, it's weird. I have this like, people think I'm like this angry, dark guy. Just say it. Come on. It's the end of the tour. I am excited for a little break.

Not from you. Just from sitting in that fucking goddamn sprinter all day. Yeah, no. I don't like, you know, I like to, I've been getting some work done on the van,

on the music, but just after a while you're like bumping and you can't really hear it right. Yeah, that's why I took the task on to edit the new music video.

That looks amazing. I wish I had a video to edit and I wish I had any skills to do that, but it's like, I really shaved like 18 hours of the drives

because I've worked on it three days now. And you zone out when you're's really shaved like 18 hours of the drives because i've dropped i've i've worked on it three days now and you zone out when you're doing that like three hours are passing i know like it's 10 minutes it's fucking amazing but it's a little harder to mix in your man because it's so noisy that's why i need a hobby maybe that could be your hobby video editing if any bands want me to edit because i can vouch he's pretty fucking good i'm good right it's a cool i think it's cooler than if you paid some guy five grand to make you some video that doesn't know you. Yeah. Especially with your fans.

Yeah. You know what I mean? It's a heartfelt thing. Guys, if you want me to make you a music video or any type of video, fuck it. Might as well put another thing on my plate. Let's do it. Fuck it. You ain't got no kids.

I ain't got no kids. You ain't got no wife. You ain't got no kids. Buddy, it's't gonna wife you ain't gonna get no kids buddy it's leg two is over hell i know dude this leg think about new orleans yeah god damn that feels like three months ago which i've not been a complaining little bitch but it just does i think the pandemic do you think the other tour was quicker i'm gonna shut this door shut the door while they're jamming. Do you think this other tour felt longer? Like the first leg felt longer than this leg?

What do you think? I think we're comfortable now. I was thinking about this today in the van because the last leg was shorter than this leg by like a week, right? I think it's the same. I think it's a little shorter yeah and i feel like it felt longer because i hadn't toured in three like two years yeah same here and it was all new and i hadn't really toured out west that much and

that is brutal out there dude yeah dude it's so hard eight hours and the fan and it was 95 degrees yeah i don't mind the cold doesn't bother me as much. No, I like the cold. Because you can always put more shit on. Yeah. You can't just get naked. But you haven't... I know, especially with like seven dudes. You can't just dick out. Oh, gotta get my dick out. It's fucking 95 in Phoenix and the

van's only going 40 miles an hour uphill. That was the most brutal. That was the hardest. Low-key, like, fuck Beats for not being on that drive and I know in that day, I got to start doing that. These guys are like, I don't do it.

What? Just go home for the three days off. Not into it. It just seems like a lot of too expensive. Here's why I don't do it. Number one,

I'm giving my girlfriend a little three week break for me too. Okay. Okay. People always like must be nice to have a break from home. You know what?

It's probably nice to be home alone without your annoying ass podcast boyfriend. Okay. You know, two, it costs money. Yeah. I'm out here to get as much money as I can and then take it home.

And then I have money for my home and I can work on my little fucking projects and my little thing. That's how I feel too. And, uh, that's, that's it. I think that's enough. It's not, you're only home and my little things. That's how I feel too. And that's it. I think that's enough. You're only home for like a day.

I love that first day when you get back from tour and there's like 25 packages that you forgot you sent to yourself. It's all Laker gear. Oh, I'm going to fuck it up. And my favorite thing about going home is this. It's like I have this issue with like I'm not you. I mean, you were way worse about this than me. I'm not a great like relaxer do nothing guy.

Yeah. I need like it. But when I get on tour, it's like I've given myself the permission to just like take a fucking day. You know what I mean? But I'm not so great at that. Like I'm like, I could be mixing. You know, I end up working on music for six hours.

That's I guess isn't work, you know, but it is actually like I have this. If you don't think it is, you can fuck off. Yeah. I have this five day off and you know, Mike, I was thinking like, oh yeah, I'm isn't work, you know, but it is actually. If you don't think it is, you can fuck off. Yeah. I have this five day off and, you know, I'm like, I was thinking like, oh yeah, I can't wait for these days off. And then I realized, oh shit, I just booked another eight interviews. Yeah. But those are easy.

That's so much easier than this. This is a hard, yeah. This is a million times harder than that. That's like, you know. It's the 8 a.m. We're going to be hanging out with Todd Glass. Yeah, Todd Glass is in town. We're going to go hang out with him. We're going to do mushrooms with him. I'm excited to meet him. That's like, you know, it's 8 a.m. We're going to hang out with Todd Glass. Todd Glass is in town. We're going to go hang out with him. We're going to do mushrooms with him.

I'm excited to meet him. He's great. He's neurotic as fuck. Oh, perfect. We're going to do mushrooms. I think neurotic people love me because I'm like the opposite of that. Yeah. And I love neurotic people because they're like. So do you want to go out after? Do you want to do the podcast and just like hang at the house? I don't know.

I wonder what Todd wants to do because like every time we do this we we always ate like an eighth of mushrooms and then we just stayed at his house and we stay there for like 24 hours and we're just high and we're eating pizza and candy or like children we just like that's a lot of mushroom i haven't eaten mushrooms a long time i probably won't eat as much as you maybe i'll eat some goo yeah let's do some we should show them the best i want to do mushrooms i know how to colorado like the goo is good the pure concentrate psilocybin we'll do that and it's like i know how to i know what it how it works but i do want to show him around and i don't want it because he's on tour with jim gaffigan he's but he's going to be a plane

all weekend too right he's got four days off and then he plays at the comedy denver comedy underground oh denver call me underground, so if you're in Denver area this weekend, go see Todd Class. The thing about him is he's like a dope comedian. He's amazing. One of the best.

Yeah, he's like an actual pro. You know who else I missed? Gary Goldman was in fucking Denver. That's your homie, right? Yesterday,

yeah. Didn't you do something with him? Yeah, I scored his movie with Judd Apatow. Did you open for him one time?

We opened. Me, I opened three nights when he did his comedy tour for The Great Depression. Then we did The Largo with Judd Apatow. What did you do? I sang and did two-minute stand-up. I bombed. Yeah, you're not a stand-up. That's not your thing.

You are, though, kind of. I was thinking about it last night. I could do a couple jobs. You're more of like a speaker. You're not like... I don't know. Maybe you're not a big enough sociopath to be a stand-up. I don't know. No, that's hard, dude. It's the hardest thing in the world.

Oh, my God. I look at Kyle Ayers and how it just torments him. It's hard work, man. Dude. So much pressure. Because he was telling me, he's like, that thing he did where he just handed the mic to the crowd and they were telling their jokes and it's like he's like yeah now like hand them your saxophone they can't even make a sound but everyone thinks they can tell a goddamn joke you know what i mean yeah that's what sucks about that it's kind of like singing is a little bit like that everyone has a goddamn opinion on everybody singing because everybody can like sing

in the car yeah but no one has a saxophone they can just like jam out on and be like because like my friend uh neil from dope pot he's like jam out on and be like, look, like my friend Neil from Dope Hotty is like, I can't really tell like a great sax player from like a good sax player. And he's a goddamn working drummer. Yeah. You know, he can tell a bad one from a good one, but he can't really tell a good one from a great one.

I was like, damn. Yeah. I mean, I could tell. You can tell, but you're around sax players. I love sax.

So this tour was good, right, buddy? I'm having a great time. You know what else is good? Is when your agent gets help with another booking agency called Repsy. A little commercial for you guys. Yo, guys, Repsy.com.

Been with us all year. They're just hot guys, hot girls. I saw some pictures of them on Instagram. I saw pictures of their press shoot. They're all hot. They're good looking dudes. Girls are hot. The guys are hot. It's just a hot company. I saw some pictures of them on Instagram. I saw pictures of their press shoot. They're all hot. They're good looking dudes. Girls are hot. The guys are hot.

It's just a hot company. It's four people. I didn't know it was four people. It's four people. But it was awesome. Repsy.com. If you're in a band, if you're a comedian, if you're a DJ, go sign up for Repsy.com. If you have an agent, still go sign up with Repsy.com.

Andrew Frasco, Andrew Frasco. Um, there's a Spafford. I feel like he's around in the mix. A homie got COVID. Big Red. Rest up, Big Red.

He'll be all right. You know who else got COVID? Aqueous. I know. Oh, fucked up. That sucks. Dropping like flies. I really do think.

How are we dodging it so hard? I think our body. Beat's got it. Well, we've been out in the world. Maybe that's why. I honestly think mushrooms, cigarettes and anxiety.

Anxiety just pushes that. Nothing's better for your immune system than being super anxious all the time. Your body loves that shit. That's what doctors always say. They say, hey man, if you want to have a good life and live as long as possible, be stressed the fuck out all day.

And if I did know by some chance what happened, I'm not going to fucking tell you because I'm not a big gossip. Yeah. So go ahead and text Andy Frasco, the king of gossip. I'm just kidding. People were blowing me up. I kept their space.

It just felt like we were a fucking herd. It felt like the fucking... Because we have eight, they had 20 fucking people. It feels like the venue's half sold out already. Go out in the crowd

during our set so it feels like there's people here. I remember we played in Michigan, and there wasn't a lot of people at the Grand Rapids venue. We played at, like always, we never have a lot of people at Grand Rapids. It's a weird market.

It was literally half full, and then once they all came back from dinner and watched the show, it was like packed. It was awesome. Find a way. They're like, I fucking love it. Actually, this Grand Rapids show was a pretty good turnout. It was. This one, actually, I fucking love it. Actually, this Green Rapids show was a pretty good turnout.

No, that was Wilmington. I'm sorry, Wilmington. Raleigh was great for like a Wednesday people. No, Raleigh. That was Wilmington. I'm sorry. Wilmington. Raleigh was great for like a Wednesday, you know. And then where we go after Wilmington. Richmond was fucking awesome. Richmond was a blast.

Charlottesville was fun. Did we not do a... We did the pot on... Fucking 25 people wear afros, which was fucking awesome. A lot of people were you for Halloween. What an honor. People have done that to me back in the day-day when I was... Yeah, what did they do? How did they dress up as you? A beard and a flannel? Mostly girls were me, actually. Oh an honor.

Hell yeah. And just anything, but we've had the biggest numbers we've ever had just in the last couple weeks, three or four weeks.

Yeah, people recognize you at the shows. Hey, guys, if you want me to tell a story about it in the podcast,

don't tell me to tell it in the podcast. What happened? Rich Richmond is probably listening right now like, fuck. She's like, tell me some story. She's like, tell that in the podcast. Listen, if you've ever met me, my first instinct when you say that is to not do what you asked me to do. But it's been great to see all the podcast fans at the shows.

I think we should do a podcast tour, mini tour someday. Let's do it. I definitely know we'll do it in Chicago. Definitely know we should do it in Portland. What other fans? Think about the low overhead this takes. There's no... I know, but building a show that's fun, that takes the time.

It takes time. You can't just talk. We've done it before. You can't just charge people to talk. I think I can just talk, but no, maybe not you. What if we bring Eccles? We'll bring Eccles.

Maybe we'll get a guest every night, like a local guest. That's what I'm thinking. Just a guitar, Eccles. Boom, hour. We're out of here. Boom.

Yep. I love you, Mickey. Love you too. All right. Back to the show. Good afternoon and welcome to Sliding Into Andy's DMs. I'm your host, Ari Finlan. So what happened was Andy fell asleep at my apartment and left his phone unlocked. So I'm going to go into his Instagram account and read some DMs.

Looks like the first one here, he asked a local art school if they wanted to sketch the band Nude. Pretty weird. He sent a message to ISIS. Didn't even know you could do that, but that seems aggressive. He DMed Mark Cuban saying he had a great idea for a copper frying pan. I think that's already an idea. I have have two of them he messaged every player on the lakers including nick van exel who has not played in 15 years and asked if they want to come over and teach him to not shoot like a six-year-old girl that's pretty embarrassing there's about 30 messages from women asking for pictures of his dong which which I have to say, looking at the picture is bigger than I thought and a very unusual color, I might add. I'm just going to say you should see a doctor.

I don't know where you are right now, Andy, but go to the ER. Your penis is dying. It looks like he sent LeBron a bunch of messages, none of which are frankly appropriate for me to read out loud, but they are very sexual in nature. And lastly, it looks like Andy messaged the producers of Masked Singer and asked to perform, and they responded, please abide by the stipulations of your restraining order. Okay, that's it. This has been Sliding Into Andy's DMs with Ari Finling. Be aware, if you send him a message,, that's it. This has been Sliding Into Andy's DMs with Ari Finling. Be aware, if you send him a message, I will read it.
