Not even knowing the countries.
Cheers.
One of the biggest gaps between Europe and America,
gas station coffee.
Yeah, I know.
It slaps.
I think that's one of the biggest cultural gaps.
How's the tour been for you, Bo?
I'm having fun.
Yeah?
Better hiccups.
Oh, God.
Now I feel like I'm on ESPN or something.
This is cool.
No, I feel good.
I've been having fun.
We got to shout Bo out for learning to drive a stick in a foreign country.
Yeah, God damn it.
In a day.
In Berlin.
In Berlin.
In a giant vehicle with stick assholes in the back.
Yeah.
And the best part is all of a sudden like Floyd and Beat's like,

Now all of a sudden they know how to drive a stick.
Yeah.
He's like doing it.
Now the second guy's doing it. They're like, no, you got to ease in the clutch sudden know how to drive a stick. Yeah. He's like doing it. Now the second guy's doing it. They're like, no, you

you want to help with the fucking stick. I'm like, you guys know how to drive a stick then
fucking drive the van. Why are you letting fucking Bo who doesn't know how to drive the
van? Fucking idiots.
Neil's is a beast. They're all, they all raged last night night. They're still asleep. Yeah, they'll wake up a little bit.
They're still asleep upstairs.
Everyone's still asleep.
It's 1 p.m.
Me and Andy went to bed like good boys.
Yeah, we did.
Very good boys.
Very good boys.
Very good, mommy.
I haven't been partying this much this tour.
I know, I like it, but sometimes it makes me think you're depressed.
I am a little depressed.
Why?
Losing money?
I don't like losing money, no. Who does does it's always the last place you look baby this tour is uh find it at
some festival when you get back i know i make money all the time on these fest on these runs
but still don't like i feel like i'm especially with these ungrateful bastards in your i'm just
kidding they're actually super good guys they're really good guys depends on the day you talk to them they're good to me they're treating me really nice as the new they're
good they didn't even haze me I know they even they tried to haze me once they tried to get me
to skip on stage you know I pissed me off one of the Dutch dudes Renz the hot one he's like hey man
how much do you think I made off the opening show last night? He's like, I'm going to pull you and pay myself more.
I'm like, what the fuck are you talking about?
Everyone thinks that I pay myself more than anyone else and I don't pay anybody.
No, I don't think so.
So fucking dumb.
I think you pay yourself the same.
Yeah.
It's just been a hard tour. It's hard to be the boss man that's the thing i mean we're having fun i'm the boss man no yeah we're having a blast
out here the european i like holland a lot more than germany yeah they're waiting yeah we'll just
get into that what about me getting arrested that's half the reason why i'm pissed off it
is the only reason why not the only reason but the big reason why i'm pissed off it's the only reason
why not the only reason but the big reason why i wanted to do this european tour is to have a
couple days off in berlin you love berlin i love berlin and the minute i get to berlin i get
arrested yeah the next day we were riding a scooter i don't know it's a weird undercover
should we talk about it let's talk about the whole day.
Yeah, why wouldn't we?
Because I haven't really told anyone about this.
Brian, shut it off.
Or my mom.
My mom was in the podcast and I talked to her.
By the way, happy birthday, mom.
It's my mom's 70th birthday.
I love you.
Thanks for fucking believing me and thanks for being part of my world.
Thanks for being part of my world. Thanks for being part of my world.
That sounded so narcissistic.
Thank you for having me and thank you for creating me.
Because without you, I probably would be selling gas in Los Angeles.
You're part of her world, technically.
I'm part of her world, yeah.
My mom's really sad that she's getting older.
Yeah, I mean, that's the thing.
70 is weird.
Especially when your kids aren't very nice to you and they never visit you.
Yeah, my sister.
My sister's been really fucking mean to her.
And I guess I'm kind of mean to her because I'm never home.
Yeah, but you're doing stuff.
Are you going to see your Hebrew name ceremony?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
I'm going to see it.
I'm getting my Hebrew name.
Tell everybody your Hebrew name. I looked it up. My Hebrew name is Zohan. Yeah, I looked it up. You know what it means? Yeah. Oh, yeah. We're going. I'm going to see. I'm getting my Hebrew name. Tell everybody your Hebrew name.
I looked it up.
My Hebrew name is Zohan.
Yeah, I looked it up.
You know what it means?
Yeah.
Oh.
Badass.
No, it means gift or prayer in Hebrew.
Oh, God.
That's cool.
Your mom will really like that.
She thinks you're a gift.
She probably prayed for a beautiful young boy.
So I'll be celebrating my Hebrew name, October 15th.
Speaking of Hebrew names, I really think they profiled me
because I was Jewish. Maybe.
They didn't pick you guys.
Your hair might have been...
Let me set the scene here.
Why don't you talk about it and then I'll explain it.
We're in beautiful Berlin.
We're being tourists. The most touristy
we've been this whole tour.
We're going to the different places where
Hitler spoke and we went to checkpoint
charlie all the beautiful things and they're great about german culture in berlin and then
we decided to go over to this hangar i guess where the it was the uh nazi airport and now it's a bar
um and we were riding around on these scooters on the runway having the time of our lives being
so happy i was so happy andy's scooter battery starts dying common problem not
his fault we stop at some other scooter i'm going forward i turn around i think there's two fans
stopping you to talk to you i'm like wow even andy has he's even getting stopped in berlin this boy
is getting more and more famous every day but what was really happening was... Undercover cops. Yes. Pulling me over because they thought I was drunk, I think.
And I guess in...
By the way, FYI...
You weren't drunk, by the way.
Germans are a bunch of fucking alcoholics.
Yeah.
And I'll talk about those rules later,
but let's just explain the story
and then I will analyze this bullshit
that's happened to me.
So I didn't...
I wasn't even thinking about it.
I saw like
a car with a red light, like with a sign saying something. I thought it was just like a protester
or something. So I was like, Hey man, what's up? What's up? It's like, this is police. See,
police, see, police. See, I'm like, Oh fuck. Here we go. Cause I already, we talked about this last
week. Hey, um, Chris, why don't you show, talk to the footage of when we talked about our buddy Rolf, our tour manager Rolf, getting profiled.
We literally talked about this the day we recorded this.
It's like, what the fuck?
That was so strange to me.
It was like six hours later, yeah.
Chris, play the footage.
But yeah, Rolf, our old tour manager from the Netherlands, we got pulled over in Bavaria.
But yeah, Rolf, our old tour manager from the Netherlands, we got pulled over in Bavaria.
And just because he was Dutch, the German police officers made him take a blood test.
A blood test? A blood test on the side of the road.
They like injected him?
Like, yeah.
Well, they take him to like a spot, maybe the police office.
Right.
And they blood test.
But like weed stays in your system for 30 days.
So it's basically a fucking trap. And that's like some like some things you know like everything isn't better here like you
can't do that in america you can't just pull someone to somewhere and stick a needle in them
okay so and then i'm like okay fuck i haven't got i don't i haven't had anything to drink so i'm good
so i'm like okay i gotta play it cool. These guys haven't drank. So if they,
I know they're about to blow alcohol, breathalyze me. And I haven't really smoked weed. So I don't
look high, but it was cold and we're on a scooter. So my eyes were kind of just like watery, blah,
blah, blah, nothing. I can't handle talking to a police. We were all sober. So they, they start
profiling me, blah, blah, blah. why are you here yada yada oh they asked
you if you're american first they they did ask if i was the first american american american
jewish here we go i'm like here we go hollywood on the scooter i knew exactly what was going down
i really didn't think it was going to happen oh by the way they stopped floyd too in this process
yeah floyd and i got stopped everyone else ran away like pussies i'm just but i understand what the what i yeah that's
their main i understand every man for yourself when the cops come i can't help you there's just
yeah you were already up ahead i didn't even know well get over here you talk about this too
you saw the whole thing i didn't even really realize what was going on or i mean did you
see the cops come i didn't because me and nick you stopped to get on to pick up that other scooter
and then nick and i kept riding forward i was just like okay let's just keep going for a second
we were like i know you and i were trying to get like i don't know i don't know what we're
jumping off the curb and yeah we were yeah you were doing trick shots in the scooter and i was
just laughing and smiling i was doing a full and
then i and the cops didn't see it turn around just like just see what's going on and that's when
yeah we turned around and you guys were just already talking i literally thought it was too
like it looks like i thought it was fans or something yeah yeah yeah yeah and they weren't
that hot by the way those people were way hotter. No. And then, so, we start talking.
They start acting kind of cool.
Like, everything's going to be fine.
Oh, hello.
So, I'm like, then they're like, have you smoked weed or drank anything?
You know, just like, I was like, no, officer.
I mean, I smoked maybe like a week ago, two weeks ago.
Never admitted anything.
But I haven't, for my my point i wasn't lying i haven't been
smoking on this tour no i know and i don't i'm not really into smoking weed right now
shout out to dialed in gummies we'll talk about that in a second i do like eating gummies but
i'm just not into smoking weed right now my brain is just not like firing on good vibes when i'm
smoking i don't know maybe i'm just getting old so i'm like okay i gotta play this cool my brain is just not like firing on good vibes when I'm smoking.
I don't know.
Maybe I'm just getting old.
So I'm like,
okay,
I got to play this cool.
I'm like,
okay.
Yeah,
I'll blow on.
I was just like,
I will be,

I will be obedient because if I start like act like an asshole,
they're just going to like look through my shit.
I knew they had,
they're going to P test me so i'm like all right
blah blah i blew i blew the breathalyzer and it was point i'm like 0.0 i'm like i got this yeah
this is easy and then they were like not so no not so fast that's so fast june not so fast
you were going to get away did you june and then I'm like, okay, they're, they're just
going to try to get me. Also Floyd had to take a breathalyzer and passed. No Floyd smart.
He was smart. He said no to everything. Yep. Good boy, Floyd. That's a good boy. Never
admit anything. You never admit anything to the cops. I'm what I've learned. I'm just
too honest with this shit. You gotta lie to cops. I gotta lie to cops. Your LA white.
I gotta learn how to lie to cops.
That's the LA white guy party from Calabasas.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You're right.
That's okay.
We all gotta learn somehow.
Right.
So he's like, ah, I still don't believe you.
Your eyes look shot.
Let's do a field test.
They can just say whatever they want.
I hate that.
I know.
The fucking bullshit ass German cops.
Why would you want to be a cop?
What kind of person's like, I want to go get people in trouble all day on their scooters.
Yeah. Like solve a murder. Solve a murder. You're in Germany. Why would you want to be a cop? What kind of person is like, I want to go get people in trouble all day on their scooters.
Yeah.
Solve a murder.
Solve a murder.
You're in Germany.
Don't start getting robbed like 300 feet away.
Right.
So I'm like, all right.
He's not letting me go.
Field test.
I had to count backwards to 30.
In English.
In 30 seconds.
From 30?
So one to 30.
Yeah.
And if I'm like too slow, then I feel they said my things are impaired.
That's so subjective.
I'm like so bullshit.
So they did that.
And then I passed.
I did it in 32 seconds.
They're like, oh, yeah, no problem.
That's good.
Yeah.
And then they're like, all right, now I'm going to check your eyes. So they checked the pupils in my eyes.
And they're like, left, right.
They're like, your pupils look a little slow.
I'm like, what the fuck are you talking about?
I'm talking coherent to you.
I haven't drinking anything.
So the rules in the Netherlands.
They're just going until they get something.
They're in Germany.
The rules in Germany is you can't drive a motor vehicle
if you smoked weed in the last five days.
When weed stays in your system for 30 days. 30 30 days so this is already a shakedown what are you trying to get
a job at a gas station or something like fuck you in a warehouse like they were just trying to get
money from me yeah yeah okay so i take everything i pass passed floyd floyd next to me is like oh
nope i'm not doing it we're not doing it I'm not doing it. I'm not doing it.
I'm like, Floyd?
I'm not doing it.
You know, I knew they're going to have to take one of us to jail.
Yeah.
And, you know, I knew how much the fine was going to be.
And I know I was going to have to pay for both the fines.
I already knew that.
Floyd was not going to pay for that.
So I'm like, all right, $1,600 or $800.
I'm like, okay, fine.
Then they're like, I still feel suspicious about you, sir.
So I'm going to have you take a P test on the side of the road.
So I'm taking a P test.
I'm like, really?
I really like, I'm thinking this is profiling.
I really felt like, I know it's Berlin.
It's progressive.
I have a big afro.
It is pretty progressive there.
But like, I'll tell you when I get to the police station while I was going down.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But I'm like, okay, I'm not going to get through this.
Like, we're testing for methamphetamine, cocaine.
We're testing for...
Get a life, nerds.
There was something else they were testing for.
Meth, coke.
Heroin, opiates.
Hair, opiates, and weed.
And they, so all, so the signs, if you take a piss on each, they put droplets.
So I'm taking a piss.
I look to the left of me.
He's like looking at Floyd.
And then I started taking a piss.
And I was like, I was really thankful that the cop wasn't watching me
because my dick looks so small, like look like a thumbnail
because I was so nervous.
That's what you were worried about.
I don't care if I go to jail.
I just want anyone,
a cop in Germany,
to think I have a small penis.
That would be so embarrassing.
They're like,
oh, he is a Jew.
Oh.
That's not a thing.
I thought it was the other way around.
Jews have small dicks.
I thought they had big old ones.
No.
That's what all the Jews told me.
That's what all the Jews told you?
No, I really did think that.
I thought that was the thing.
So, um... That they were hanging. All right. So I piss in it. They do the test. I'm like, this is profiling. And
then I started recording the phone. I'll we play, I'll play the video. Hey Chris, play
the video of us recording. This is when we started recording. I'm like, I tell you, you
can't record, which is a lie. I looked at it. Yeah. They tried to tell us that it wasn't
recorded. So we're going to play this right now.
You can record German cops.
Chris, play this video I just sent you.
I don't know that you can smoke Mariana some day to go and can drive.
Can you stop the recording?
Why?
Because it's private world.
So that you stop the recording or we take the phone.
You can read or we can talk about all but don't recall it okay i just think
that you're profiling us no never you sure it's normal in germany it's normal you're so why can't
you record it because it's not allowed okay this is profiling here's the thing you can i looked
it up you can record german cops but if you put it on social media or something you have to blur
them out so we have to blur their faces they don't have i didn't uh record their faces
i just recorded their feet then you don't have to okay also what are they gonna do now
come to america and get you my test says i have thc in my system
in berlin where everyone all these germans smoking pot everywhere and everyone smoking pot all over this park and just laughing and getting like
If you would have rode in a bike
We wouldn't have pulled you over like that's bullshit more dangerous. Yeah, they're faster
Yeah, I was on a fucking bird scooter your feet are five miles per hour laughing
You just didn't like that a Jewish man was fucking laughing
that a Jewish man was fucking laughing. Yeah.
Anyway.
So they're like, you know what sir,
they're like saying like,
oh, you know, we're nice guys,
we'll let you pee in this thing twice.
Oh, they're doing a creepy, nice, calm, German thing.
Yeah, I'm like, you're not nice, you're being
passive aggressive. Relax.
Oh, relax Jewel.
Time for you to relax, this won't hurt.
Nothing bad is going to happen to you.
$800, please.
Yeah.
And then, okay.
What a shakedown.
It was a fucking shakedown.
And then I realized like, okay, I'm not getting out of this.
And I'm going to go to jail.
And because Rolf, it happened to our tour manager.
So they started explaining me the situation.
So they started explaining me the situation.
I'm like, in Germany, we can't make a piss test legal to find you for something.
So we need to take you to the jailhouse so we can give you a blood test.
They can just stick a needle in you here if they want to.
Yeah, it's fucking... I'm like, I'm afraid of needles, and I am afraid of needles.
Who isn't?
Especially in that situation.
It's not like some loving doctor is giving you medicine that'll save your life right and um so i knew i was going to jail floyd on my my little my little
uh freedom fighter over here i ain't doing hell yeah these colors don't run these girls
and then so the other two guys andy avla you, he's from East Los Angeles. He ain't fucking
no cops. He's running gone. You are gone. My boy, Bo got some courage to walk back over
there. Like a, like a good little Buffalo, New York boy.
Shout out to Bo. And he started getting Buffalo on him. Like what the fuck? What the problem?
Like he already knew the steel that come over here
This is part where you come back into the story
And he's getting Buffalo on them like you are
Profiling and then we started doing the whole anti-semitic thing then I was I knew I was good
There was like my last swing at that point. It was already too late like we knew they were taking you in to
They had already said it. So yeah, I'm just not going back to help anybody with the cops you just can't never help i know it doesn't do anything i'll
remember that um no i would never expect you to ever help me no i will because i do that's what
i do i took care of last time when the cops came and took care of they were about to arrest the
dutch people in kansas i took the blame for everything oh well why would and so they would
have got deported.
Oh yeah.
Well, you don't have to, don't ever help me with the cops.
It's fine.
No, I will.
Cause that's how I am.
Well, I'm never going to.
Okay.
So now they're pulling me in the cop car and then Bo gets one last swing at them.
Like this is fucking bullshit.
I'm like, Bo chill.
I mean, I was like asking him if it helped meet their quota or something like that.
Yeah, probably. I was like asking them if it helped me to quota or something like that. I was like, this is fucking bullshit.
I already know I'm going to jail.
So then they started looking through my pockets and stuff and I'm like, yeah, bitch.
Yeah.
Got you ho.
So now they feel bad because I don't have any weed on me or blah, blah, blah.
I thought the whole time they were going to let you go.
Because it had been so long and you were kind of just staying in there and you did all the tests and you didn't seem drunk.
I was like, oh, he's coming back.
And then all of a sudden you were in the car.
Yeah.
So then this is when the shakedown really happened.
Yeah.
They're like, hey, Mr. Frasco or whatever.
I was like, we're going to go go to our local on location police station we're
gonna grab a credit card machine you're gonna give me 800 euros and then once it once it clears
we're gonna take you to the police station then you could take your blood test and
and uh we're gonna put you in a cell for three hours and weirdos with fucking crackheads and
killers and it was scary they made you like self-checkout i was in the jail cell with this for three hours with fucking crackheads and killers.
It was scary, dude. They made you self-checkout.
I was in the jail cell with this dude from Georgia
or whatever. He couldn't understand what he was saying.
I think he was asking me for money.
He had a broken
hand or something.
He was bleeding out.
He was putting his finger
with the blood and writing writing on my chair like how
much he needs like i said he kept on doing 10 10 like he needed like 10 euros i'm like i can't help
you bro i'm in jail they took my wallet they took everything yeah you're out of luck i'm out of luck
yeah but anyway back to this i already had the self-checkout for my fine yeah i love what they
did so i'm in the cop car and that's when i start chirping. I'm like, you know, it was Russia,
Shauna. I'm like, yeah, it's new year, Jewish new year. You know, it's like, you guys, like
you feel like Gestapo today. Don't you? And then, then, then they looked up my music.
Oh no. And they're like, they're like, I'm in a band. Yeah. They're like like i'm in a band yeah they're like i'm in a band blah blah blah
then they looked up my music like oh yeah 300 month 300 000 monthly listeners five million
now they know they yeah now they want to be my friend because they know i'm in a band
all of a sudden your finest 2000 euros yeah but the i got so nervous because when you pop up my
spotify sex and drugs and rock and roll smoking dope and rock and roll is number two on the download list in Germany.
It's just like a number three was your song bomb Berlin again.
So I get to the police station,
all these fucking German cops are just drinking tea and laughing and,
um,
we caught him. they're like oh
like i was friend we got the jewel um so i started texting jill i'm like this is she
needed like some money for something so i've been motor 100 bucks i was just like in this
weird state like you're sending someone else money i'm sending someone else's money while i'm in the
the jail no wonder you're the phone in the So well, like right when, right before they booked me, I was like texting
Jill. I'm like, this is fucking bullshit. They're profiling me. Cause I was Jewish.
I was like really on the Jewish thing. Cause I really felt like they were none of y'all got
in trouble besides the Jewish dude. You do look pretty Jewish. I do look Jewish compared to us,
especially. So she texted me this thing like something
about like you could
can't take the Hitler out of Germany
and I was like laughing and she
and the cop pulled my phone
and see poor Jill like doesn't
talk shit ever and she was just trying to comfort me
and she
and the cops are looking like this
she's like D-Day 2 coming up
I'm like here we fucking go.
So then they made me stay in the cell for like three hours.
And then they had like a bunch of these Serbian dudes who like played soccer
at a park.
They probably got,
it was a shakedown.
So I paid 800 euros and then they take a drug test and then they're trying to
make me feel better.
Like,
Oh,
I'm so sorry.
You have to deal with this. Well, they're not the ones that arrested you at least no the cop the other cop oh okay
augustus glump or whatever that that guy was nicer than the guy who was pulling the guy who pulled
over they're doing good floyd back up yeah the other guy was a douche and i was just like
saying like oh this is what i was getting to i'm like so if there's no weed in my system
but you guys you out you guys are all alcoholics in germany and you guys could just drive drunk
they said it's only an 800 ticket if you are driving yeah you can drive over the point zero
five you can drive a school bus if you had a six-pack here yeah but you can't smoke weed six
years ago yeah i'm like you guys are a bunch of alcoholics they started they started laughing but like
they're like like i don't i don't make the rules here i'm like i'm like so why i haven't smoked
she says oh just in case you get in an accident and your your blood rushes the weed will go back
into your right nerves i'm like but you guys after having
a bender of a fucking case of beer
and have to go to work at 9am
you don't think you're drunk
this is profiling
and you guys are in denial that you're all fucking
alcoholics in this country
anyway you can go back Bo what do you think
what's your last take on this
one cop told Floyd that
he's like,
oh, I could have like eight beers and drive.
A guy your size could probably have six.
Like blatantly telling him
that he drinks and drives almost.
Fuck these guys.
All right.
Anyway, thanks, Bo.
Thanks, Bo.
Shout out to Bo for helping me,
trying to help me out.
Hey, at least American cops
never do stuff like this.
What'd you say?
Chill, chill, chill.
I said, at least American cops don't do stuff like this.
A lot of these cops who want to be cops, I'm not going to stereotype all cops because we've
had great experience with cops.
We had cops in the Netherlands who let us go in the cop car and then let us wear their outfits.
Speaker 2 and the other ones is chills. Fuck party here. And it's chill. Yeah. And they're
better looking too. Yeah. They are hot cops out there. Oh, I'm just Dutch guys in general
are hotter. I guess the women are too. I haven't really compared that yet, but the men are
definitely hotter. Right. So, so I got to jail, 0 8, 0 9, 0 10, 0 11, 0 12, 0 13, 0 14, 0 15, 0 16, 0 17, 0 18, 0
19, 0 20, 0 21, 0 22, 0 23, 0 24, 0 25, 0 26, 0 27, 0 28, 0 29, 0 30, 0 31, 0 31, 0 32, 0
32, 0 33, 0 34, 0 35, 0 36, 0 36, 0 37, 0 38, 0 39, 0 40, 0 41, 0 42, 0 43, 0 44, 0 45, 0 Speaker 2 and I was covering up for the Dutch people. That was nice of you. Well, I didn't
want them to get deported and I love them, but then they got deported because we fucked
up on the visas. So I've heard that story. The drummer. Anyway, so took a blood test.
Then they threw me out of the jail.
And the jailhouse was like fucking far.
Like Fresh Prince of Bel-Air style.
Like when he throws Jazzy Jeff out the front door.
And my mic drop was,
Happy New Year, you fucking Gestapo.
Let's go.
I'm going to clap to that one.
I thought that was great. It was a lot of Shana.
It was a lot of Shana. It was Rosh Hashanah.
They're probably in their head.
We're like, bye, Jew.
Yes, enjoy your little new year.
Now we're going to be on Germany's side when World War III starts here in a couple of weeks.
Yeah, well.
Which is bad.
They better apologize.
Which is bad because they're 0-2 in World Wars, aren't they?
Is Germany on our side now?
Yeah, they're definitely on our side.
That was also why I was having a bad day.
I was just looking at that war or three thing. Yeah.
He's worried about getting drafted. I'm worried about getting drafted.
I felt like Elvis or Muhammad Ali. Yeah. You're just like Muhammad Ali.
There's no difference between you and Muhammad Ali. No difference at all.
So he found out the draft age can be up to 35 and that sent him into a I'm just looking at Twitter, refreshing Twitter with the intensity of like Lakers mid season
focus. It's like, Oh my God, am I going to the military? I was finding all the information
that I was looking for. I was like, Oh, I'm going to the military. I'm going to the military.
I'm going to the military. I'm going to the military. I'm going to the military. I'm going
to the military. I'm going to the military. I'm going to the military. I'm going to the military. I'm going to the military. I'm going to the military. like Lakers mid season focus. It's like, Oh my
God, am I going to the military? I was finding all the information on world war three, but
like that Paula Polly shore movie in the army. Now I can be you and I could be Andy Dick.
I didn't get nervous about that. You're not going to get drafted or what about Russia's
kind of close to us. Russia's kind of close to us right now. Yeah, for sure.
Like didn't Sarah Palin
say, I could see Alaska
from my, or I could see Russia
from my windows. Yeah, but she's not exactly known
for her being
super smart and correct about things.
Let's put it that way. Anyway,
she just lost another election.
Anyway, I just want to go home.
We're almost done
What are you going to do when you go home?
You have to do festivals
I got to do two festivals
A nice normal American festival
Where people cheer for you right when you walk out
And are ready to go
I'm not saying
The shows have been good
You know, we've had some good turnouts
I think so
There hasn't been any like shit ass turnouts
Hamburg was shit
Oh, that's right
But that was on Monday
I know, but I try to keep telling...
Never mind.
I'm not going to get into it.
They might be listening, huh?
So wait, let me explain this.
When you tour in Europe,
you have to have a different book.
It's not John Bongiorno.
It's a different...
Well, no, we tried to have a John Bongiorno
with this company that's a big company.
I think that you have the same agent.
You have to have a different agent for Europe
than you do in America. Yeah, right. Yeah, yeah. Last night was fun as shit. Well, yeah think that you have the same agent. You have to have a different agent for Europe than you do in America.
Yeah, right.
Last night was fun as shit.
Well, yeah, that was our Dutch booker.
We kept our Dutch booker.
It's a different booker here than...
It's so much shit.
So, I'm not going to say names,
but I'm watching you.
This has been a 30-minute bitch fest.
I thought we were doing to have me and you.
I know we are.
I'm just saying, let's just talk about something else.
Okay.
What else do you want to talk about?
I want to complain more.
I do too.
Let's see.
What do you think of the food?
Way better.
Yeah.
It's healthier.
I don't ever feel like...
I can eat like half a bag of candy and I don't feel like later right here's the thing um i think they have higher like legal standards
for what they're allowed to put in food here i don't actually know any data on that but i've
just been told that by a bunch of people it checks out because we're being poisoned i guess by
corporations i realized when i came here that we are being poisoned by corporations we can't be
making we can't be ripping on everybody. We need
to have an ally. I'm just ripping on corporations.
Oh, okay.
I'll fuck with that. I'll fuck corporations.
Did they ever beat you?
Nothing.
Oh, they did with destroy small town America.
Hey, Bo, will you grab me a cup of coffee? Thanks.
Me too.
The best is that you're able to drink the tap water here in Holland. It's so nice.
It's so good.
Yeah. The tap water is fire.
It's amazing.
So. make coffee.
Don't you make coffee? Hey, Bo, actually you sit down. Yeah.
He's acting like he's the star, but you're just a fill in.
No, I'm not.
Oh, for Ernie. Yeah.
Yeah.
Play him on the pod.
Oh yeah. You called me Ernie at least three times now on stage.
Right.
Are you doing it on purpose? No, I i'm just like i can't think right now when i'm like spiraling into depression yeah
i cannot think and like i just as you know it's like i'm just dealing a lot of other things you
know with the band and stuff and you miss ernie i do do kind of miss Ernie. Of course you do.
I mean, this isn't a dig on you.
Ernie is a better fit for our band.
Well, yeah.
He's been in the band for 15 years.
I know.
But just his stage presence and his aura and how he plays.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I was thinking this yesterday when you were just sitting down on the drum riser while everyone else
was having fun.
I know, but you were just like
this. I'm like, I've been raging up there.
What are you talking about? Every other day you raged.
Yesterday you weren't really vibing.
I was over by Sean.
Well, let me tell you what I thought of it
because I see you. I watch you like a hawk.
It was just like, if you're going to sit down,
just go backstage and sit down.
Don't do it on stage.
That shit pisses me off.
Yeah, I do kind of miss Ernie.
But it was just, I'm dealing with
a lot of things
with the band and stuff.
We're all just burnt out a little bit.
You just have one festival when you get back, right?
It's a loud ass coffee machine, bro.
Is it two festivals when you get back or one?
Two.
And then after that, we have nine days off.
And then we start our fall tour.
So we don't really have that much time off.
So I really need to...
I got to get my brain right before I get to this fall tour. So we don't really have that much time off. So I really need to, I got to get my brain right
before I get to this fall tour.
Yeah.
I'm just,
maybe it's going to be back in America.
And I can't,
and what'd you say?
It's going to be fun though.
Did you see the ticket counts?
I did see the ticket counts.
I'm stoked on that.
Shout out to the America
for bringing a lot of people.
There's a lot of big shows
that I did not expect
was going to happen.
But cheers.
Yeah. Cheers to America was going to happen. But cheers. Yeah.
Cheers to America.
Cheers to ticket counts being high because
we don't have COVID there anymore.
That's also one thing I have to
take with a grain of salt with these
kind of lower than expected
ticket sales in Europe was
they're just getting out of COVID.
Yeah, they're just getting out of it.
They took this shit way too seriously and they're scared about it.
Yeah, they actually care.
Yeah.
So I need to figure out...
I just can't chill.
How do you chill?
What do you do when you chill?
I just chill. I don't know. I'm just good at it.
What do you do? Teach me something.
I listen to a podcast.
Maybe you should not look at Instagram or something. Yeah, I'm about to. You know. I'm just good at it. Like what? What do you do? Teach me something. I listen to a podcast. Maybe you should like not look at Instagram or something.
Yeah.
I'm about to know what I did.
Maybe you're comparing yourself to other people too much or something.
You know what I'm about to do?
What?
I'm about to unfollow everyone.
How do you do?
Can you,
I wish there was a button.
There's a program and I tried to do it,
uh,
in Hamburg and it kept on freezing my,
my phone. Weird.
But you could unfollow everybody.
And then I'm forced
to not... I kind of
want to do that. It's really bad. Social media
is not good for people
that compare themselves. It's fucking my brain
up. Comparing...
It's like... I think about
a lot of things when I'm
watching other people.
One,
is everyone faking this happiness?
Two,
should I have a different life?
I see everyone happy
just living
nine to five.
That's the highlight of their life.
I know. That's what I'm saying.
Is everyone not happy? Is everyone faking this shit?
It's like watching SportsCenter and being like,
wow, the Dolphins were good last week, but they're only showing
their four touchdown passes.
Not the third quarter
where they had 80 rushing yards.
You know what I mean?
It's just I'm in this weird
funk right now.
Maybe it's just because you're in Europe.
No, I love Europe, though.
I feel like I'm trying not to...
You've been cool.
I'm trying not to... Normally, when I'm like this, I love Europe though Yeah, that's right I forgot I feel like I'm trying not to like You've been cool I'm trying Yeah
Trying not to like
I normally
When I'm like this
I fucking
Lash out at everyone
Really?
Yeah
Then the one night
I hang out with the band
I get in trouble
With my band
Oh yeah
What was that about again?
I'm not talking about it
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
I don't remember now
But you know
It's like
Fuck
I just can't
I can't win right now
yeah you can
no one's really mad at you
I know
I think you're the only one mad at you
I think I'm mad at myself
why?
because I give all my energy to everyone else
and don't leave enough for me
aww
you just went on a two week vacation with a cruise
to entertain my girlfriend and all my friends.
You need to go on a vacation by yourself.
Yeah, I do.
Where are you going to go?
I don't know.
Probably my couch.
Yeah, you should go on a staycation.
I know.
But then I have to...
I feel like I don't...
I'm really bitching on this podcast.
Not really.
Most of it was about getting arrested.
You'll be fine.
You just need to go play a festival in America.
Yeah, I do.
Eat some shitty fair food.
I was talking to Brody, our other manager.
Whenever I'm feeling sad, I don't go to Brian anymore
because he just kind of bums me out.
Brody's your nurturing manager.
Yeah.
Yeah, because he'll always blame it on my alcoholism or my fucking...
You haven't barely drank on this tour, honestly.
I barely fucking drink.
And he was trying to say that shit last week.
Like, oh, you're just drinking too much.
I'm like, you don't even fucking know, bro.
And so I talked to Brody.
And I was like, man, I'm just sad this week and i'm like blah blah blah tell him explaining why i'm sad to her and she um took her second but she she sent me a picture of see here now
and the big ass crowd you didn't have a huge crowd there didn't you like remember these moments yeah
you know i know you're so absorbed in the moment.
That's how you are.
That's why you relate with people.
But just remember those moments.
Yeah.
And it'll all be good.
She's got a point.
She does have a point.
So, I'm going to do a pump up speech
for myself and for everyone else.
When you feel like depression
is really hitting you in the dick
or the vagina or whatever,
just remember that it's just you being so present into the depression that you forgot
that there's always more amazing things.
Because we always forget.
We always worry about the 1% of things that get us down,
and we don't think about all the beautiful things that is in life.
Like, I'm here with my buddy.
Yeah.
Nick.
Your only friend.
My only friend.
The only person who never causes you issues.
No.
Who else does it cause me issues?
Dolav.
Well, Dolav sometimes will, like, bite my dick and shit on stage.
What?
Dolav's crazy. Yeah. and shit on stage. Speaker 2, Speaker 3, Speaker 0 5, Speaker 2,
Speaker 0 6,
Speaker 1,
Speaker 2,
Speaker 3,
Speaker 2,
Speaker 1,
Speaker 2,
Speaker 1,
Speaker 2, Speaker 1, got kicked out of the room. He only has like nine or 10. He can only be in nine or 10 basically. Well, no, like you could tell his eyes start twitching because he's normally chill. When
he goes to his bye-bye place.
When it's just me and him, when he goes bye-bye, his eyes start twitching. Like,
I'm like, oh no, here we go. We're in a public place and we're seeing the... Cause normally
like we could contain Dolav with like the group of 10 friends that we have in LA. But
like when we took him on tour and he started getting the crazy eyes.
What does that mean?
What do you think?
Like, what is it?
Like,
example,
we used to have him sell merch
and like he started drinking a little too early
and started getting the crazy eyes.
Oh, yeah?
And no one was buying merch
in Fayetteville.
So we ran up on stage saying,
hey, you cheap motherfuckers,
don't be the cheapest out at this fucking tour.
Buy some merch. Yeah, he sold like grand. That's that Hebrew sales tactic, man. Let's go, don't be the cheapest out at this fucking door. Buy some merch.
Yeah, he sold like grand.
That's that Hebrew sales tactic, man.
That's how they sit.
That's how they do it in Israel.
True, man.
I worked with some Israelis. They're an aggressive
salesman.
They get it done.
I want to keep an eye out for the iTwitch.
You are my best friend.
Okay, I won't sit down on the stage.
I thought it was kind of funny.
Everybody's going off and there's just a guy chilling.
I think it's funny.
It's like being the straight man.
I think it's funny.
Also, I had something on my horn I had to screw in.
Yeah, it's all good.
I'm not mad at that.
I was just mad at the day.
I'm just mad.
That'd be a really dumb thing to get mad at.
No.
What are you going to do?
Fire me?
I'm off the gig in three days anyway.
I'm never going to be here no it's not that you play great i play great man you're a great player i'm not used to playing in a band like this either that performs like this
i know i'm not used to playing in a band that doesn't just stand there and wait i will say
one thing though nick when you are moving and grooving it's pretty fun it's fun
yeah sometimes dude it's hard.
I'm scared that Floyd's going to like, he's going off over there.
Yeah.
Especially with Arno in the tour too.
Dude, there's been a couple times I got bumped in my, because brass, there's things on the
outside.
My horn's inside my mouth.
So I get bumped and I like almost like got my tooth knocked out one time.
So I got to back up.
When Arno and Floyd are over there, it's like.
Yeah.
But when I'm being goofy, it gets pretty fun.
I like when I'm shooting, I'll be in you are i love it yeah i it's easier without
arno because when floyd's with you i can be like the guy that's on your side
i can be company man yeah yeah i love it it's fun i love it though yeah yeah so
what's your take on this band what do you mean know, now you've been with us for two weeks,
both musically.
It's really fun.
Yeah.
I thought it's even more fun.
I knew it was gonna be fun.
Like you guys,
and I've been on tour with you in a different way.
Right.
But the music is fun to play.
It's loud as shit.
You're going to sit in with this band where earplugs like,
it's going to be loud.
You're not going to hear your every little note you play.
Okay.
If you like some soloist and you're going to sit in and you want to hear it,
don't,
don't even worry about it. Just get up there and rip. You know what I mean? That's what Andy wants you to do. He wants you like some soloist and you're going to sit in and you want to hear it, don't. Don't even worry about it.
Just get up there and rip.
You know what I mean?
That's what Andy wants you to do.
He wants you to just rip it.
And that's fine.
That's the show.
I like it.
Sometimes my hardest thing right now
is just like
getting the titles confused
with what song it is and shit.
Yeah.
Because we have a lot of songs
that are like
same chords,
different key.
Like blues.
Like, you know,
there's a bunch of blues tunes
or there'll be like three
in the same key. They're slightly different, which is very normal.
By the way, this isn't like an attack. Every band is. It's just when you're the new guy,
you have 80, you guys have probably over a hundred tunes. You could call it. And they're
not like I got thrown in the fire too. There's not like there wasn't even set.
Speaker 2. Remember the first three days? Yeah. No set list. I like that though. Remember
the first, first day you're like, man, this is comfortable. I'm rocking. And then the second show, I just played all the curve ball songs. You're like,
what the fuck?
It's like song. Sean couldn't even remember. John's like, what's that? I get like that
sometimes where I was like, it's good though. That's good. Everybody's a good musician.
Andy's great. Sean's great.
He's a sneaky, really good bass player. And I'm not saying like you wouldn't think he
is, but just the way he is antics on stage.
The band is fucking good.
The band's good. Loud.
We're loud. That's okay. You're loud.
We're a rock band.
You're not just going to stand there with your big hats.
You know, by the way,
by the way,
you guys will stay together. You're everybody's favorite band.
Everyone's favorite boy.
You guys will stay together. You boys stay together. May all your favorite boys stay together you're everybody's favorite band everyone's favorite boy you guys are your favorite boys stay together i may all your favorite boys stay together
our new thing for andy is he's america's favorite boy and we have a new america's favorite boy song
favorite boy no no no so like we threw we threw nick
um Speaker 2 and he killed it. By the way, that was dope.
Speaker 3 and he killed it. I sneakily can sing.
Speaker 2 We were in Switzerland when we first did this bit. We've been doing a lot of different
new bits.
Speaker 3 This bit is like where if you've seen the band, which you probably have, he
goes around and makes each person sing even like Bernie blah, blah. Speaker so we have we i'm like we threw the dutch people under the bus
and then we threw nick under the bus he's he sang a song about healthcare yeah about how i want free
healthcare like it was in swiss switzerland i want your health care yeah i made it pretty bluesy
didn't i yeah yeah and then america's favorite boy happened and then i was singing healthcare
over america's favorite Boy with my ad list.
Just fucking shoot. It was just a musical.
Shooting from the fucking three. It was like a musical.
That's what I'm saying. I'm not mad at your
playing. You're an amazing player. I think we're having
a good time. I'm having a blast. My stage presence,
I'm not going to be Ernie. I just don't have that in me.
I know. That's fine. I'm not looking for that.
You know, when you're just comfortable with that
for 15 years, you said it.
He knows all the words to everything, so he can lip sync it. You know what I mean?
He can, I wish I had a keyboard over there. Well, I love Floyd. As much as I pick on Floyd.
I love Floyd. Actually. Here's my favorite. My favorite thing. I realized this last night
is I'm always like, Floyd doesn't know what's my favorite. It's my favorite. My favorite thing I realized this last night is I'm always like fully doesn't know what's going on. Fords,
you know what I mean? And but he has way more of a life than I do. We're roughly the same
age. He's a little older, but like I'm always like what's Floyd got to do, but he's got
like two houses and a wife and a kid. Yeah, it's like I'm just like some guy in Denver
playing sax in an apartment and I'm like Floyd doesn't have anything going on in his life.
That's like my old Ben. It's wrong. Shout out to Floyd.
We've been throwing him in the ringer.
We've been doing this bit.
And he takes it. We've been doing this bit where we
I make him take off his shirt and
I take off my shirt and we just... What song is that
in Main Squeeze? Main Squeeze. We brought
Main Squeeze back in the set list and I was like...
And we just sing on this one mic and stare
in each other's eyes. Pretty hot, actually.
I think it's hot.
It's crazy how many views when Floyd and I are being sexual,
how many views we get on those videos.
If one of your heartfelt songs could get that many views, huh?
Yeah.
Instead of you kissing a guy.
That's the music industry.
That's the music industry.
I'm the music industry's clown.'s now become the 12 second video industry
And it fucked up
No one remembers shit
Oh by the way, shout out
For listening to my new single
With Little Stranger, What a Life
Ever since that
Since we released that single
We sold a shit ton of
We sold a shit ton of tickets this week.
I think people are excited about the little Stranger
Frasca tour. I'm going to clap to that.
Let's go!
We're going to Indy.
I'm trying to come in and hang out.
With Sleepy.
Yeah, we might come.
I haven't been there in a while. I just want to go hang.
I might go there and play
The Trap on Saturday or just some local shit.
Are we playing weekend? You're playing Thursday, which is a good night in
Indy. Why don't we do a podcast in Indiana? I'm saying I'm going to try to get there early
and meet you and then do, we can do it. No, like let's do a live one. Do you think we
have podcast fans in Indiana? I don't know. I want to start doing that. I want to start
doing the live podcast. It'd be just me and you and Bo. We're going to have to take all
these Yahoo's. Maybe I'll like Piggy back on your quiz night
So we do the quiz night
And the podcast
So it's kind of like we're talking and you do the quiz
Yeah so kind of my trivia night by the way
Yeah it's killing
It's been fun as shit actually
Everybody had fun
I can't wait
I just found out John Crady's in Amsterdam right now.
I know.
I saw on his...
Are you going to go...
Are you going there?
I mean, we're going to Utrecht today.
We are?
I didn't know that was still happening.
Or maybe tomorrow.
No one's up yet and it's 3 p.m.
Is it 3?
No, it's...
12.30.
Yeah.
We could probably get there by 2.
I'm just looking at these clouds and it looks like it's going to rain pretty heavy today.
I thought it was like three hours away or something.
I don't know.
We might just stay in and do it tomorrow.
Yeah, let's go get some croquette.
I'm just kidding.
I can't eat any more fried food.
I know.
I need something.
That's one thing about the Dutch food.
It's just like it's either shawarma, unsalted curries.
I could eat a shawarma actually.
That's something.
Sounds fire.
It's mostly just vegetables and meat.
It's not that bad for you. That's pretty far. But it's like shitty meat. Yeah,. That's mostly just vegetables and meat. It's not that bad for you.
That's pretty far.
But it's like shitty meat.
Yeah, but it's better than fried meat.
True.
And then they have the fried cafeteria.
And none of them are fat, weirdly.
Yeah.
Not really.
That's what I was trying to get at.
Have you looked at your shit lately?
It's smaller.
That means the food's digesting.
That's why they're not as fat.
Yes.
They're all so tall here.
Tall and hot.
They're on bikes.
Neal's is hot.
Shout out to Neal's.
Yeah.
Neal's is killing it.
Neal's girlfriend's cool as shit.
Neal's girlfriend's cool as shit.
We're in their apartment right now.
They're in their house right now.
Yeah, we're at their house, and they let us stay.
They own a home.
I didn't know you could own homes in Europe, but you can.
Chill, chill, chill, chill, chill own homes in Europe, but you can.
They did say there's like a housing problem out here because everyone wants to move here.
It's pretty much a mirror of America.
Damn. You know what I realized?
What?
I was twittering about the war.
Yeah. I always like when Andy starts popping off about politics he found out about 10 minutes ago.
and Andy starts popping off about politics he found out about 10 minutes ago.
I didn't realize. Do you think our
taxes... Do taxes go up?
No, but... When there's a
war... Luckily, they're already just using our taxes
on that anyway, so it's already built in.
That's true. No, our taxes probably won't go
up from that. Don't worry.
God, because I paid so much.
Your Korean children are getting blown up
in the street like are my taxes going to go down like that i didn't realize that i did not mean it
like that i'm just kidding i know everyone knows you don't want anyone to die it's so up
it is funny well you know what's up too we did the jur we did the europe tour on on the
netflix where we watched Dahmer.
And then we went like,
let's watch something lighter.
And then you put Saving Private Ryan on.
I'm like, that is not lighter than Dahmer.
Well, good guys went in that one.
My thing with the Dahmer thing,
okay, first of all, it wasn't that good, I didn't think.
The actor was good, but the story, way too long. They didn't go on death,
but then I realized it's one of those Ryan Murphy things,
so it's not really
a documentary.
My favorite thing, though,
was Neil's girlfriend.
She's Dutch,
was watching with us,
and she was just like,
what the fuck is this?
I was like,
oh, yeah,
serial killers
aren't famous here.
They don't glorify people
who tear people.
Kill people.
Yeah.
America's fucking sick.
Especially white women in America
love true crime, man.
God, they just fucking
get off to that shit. That's what I truly hope the people who own a are 36 is
whatever they call it. Ar 16 15 15. They're they better be the first people to get drafted.
Yeah. Like, you know, instead of shooting up fucking schools, go, go fucking go to war.
Yeah. You fucking assholes. Yeah. As long as you don't get drafted i'm not getting i'm running away did
i tell you the story draft dodge who cares i drafted i my mom was trying to draft dodge me
when we they thought we were going to get drafted for 9 11 yeah yeah or a little after that it was
afghanistan but it was during the 9 11 buys or they thought we were going to all get drafted. 2006 probably. Yeah, 2006. I was 18.
Oh, shit.
Damn, I've got a good memory.
God, you have a good memory.
So,
we were getting our passports ready
to go to Canada.
I like that your mom's a...
That's weird
because then she kind of...
My mom's neurotic.
Aren't they kind of
Republicans too, though?
Yeah,
a little bit.
But like,
they've gone left and right. My dad, as he gets
older, he's like a huge Trumper. Now I'm like, Jesus, like a military guy. Does he love the
military and stuff and cops? Um, or is he more just like, no, but he's like a taxes guy. I think
he's a taxes guy. They don't care about gay marriage. I think they're just old, older
generation. Gay people shouldn't be allowed to get married is the question.
Which here's my thing with that, Republicans.
You're supposed to be the people who are like personal freedom.
You can do whatever you want.
Government.
Yeah, they're more worried about.
They said to me 10 years ago, my dad's like, I see your work ethic.
And once you start making money, I know you're going to be a Republican.
I'm like, oh my God.
Chill down. No doubt. And once you start making money, I know you're going to be a Republican. I'm like, oh my God. Chill, dad.
Chill.
But now, as you re-listen to these podcasts, I'm bitching about taxes all the time.
No, no.
But Democrats don't.
I mean, no one likes taxes.
I know.
The problem is they're not doing anything good with the taxes we're paying them.
Yeah.
I know.
Yeah.
That's the problem.
I know. Our schools are's the problem. I know.
Our schools are prisons almost, you know?
I couldn't believe it.
Jill opened up my mail yesterday.
Oh, no.
And I did get a little money from Denver.
Did you get that $750 check from Denver?
I haven't filed my taxes. Did you, Bo?
Well, let's fucking go.
Shout out to Denver for giving us $750.
I bought shoes with it. Of you did i realized no i up

with me too is I don't want to take them on tour

They're probably worth more money in the future to be fair.
