He will... I'll NASCAR out for anybody that gives me money, bitch. You are like the NASCAR podcast right now. I love

to NASCAR out. You're drinking a Starbucks. You have a dog. You're fostering a dog. Yeah, he's chill. I like how right as soon as we started doing this, he chilled out. I love it. So you're fostering dog as a poodle. That's a standard poodle. Can you see the poodle on there? It was a black poodle.

He'll get up here at some point. Who fosters a poodle? I mean, those dogs are expensive. That's an expensive dog. Yeah, it's like he ended up at the shelter under some sort of circumstances. I'm not exactly sure, but we're just having him for a couple weeks. Then he'll get adopted fast. I know. I want him. Yeah, but you can't. He needs too much attention.

I can give him attention. I'll Skype with him. I don't think dogs know how to log into Skype. I'll be like, hey, bud. He's real quiet. I know. I like it. He was just very... Lower it? Yeah. Okay. My bad. You kind of look like a serial killer right now. I'm not going to lie.

I feel like a serial killer. You know why? Oh, here's something crazy. You're the first person I've talked to since last Tuesday. No. I've just been fucking... Are you okay? Yeah, no. I mean, it's not like I was on purpose a little bit. You're wearing sunglasses during the day. Are you depressed?

What if I started crying? What if I was like, no, I'm doing great. I haven't seen anybody in five days. It's just like... No, it's like I did it on purpose. Somebody touch me. My girlfriend went out of town. It was Thanksgiving. I just haven't really interacted

with anybody. How many times did you beat off? I don't know. I lost count. I love it when I'm by myself. Really? I'll just spray all over the house. You like to openly discuss your masturbation rituals. I mean, people masturbate. We almost made it five minutes before we got into jerking off. I mean, three minutes.

Damn. People masturbate. What's the problem with masturbating? Nothing. I don't have an issue with it. I don't have an issue with it. That doesn't mean... There's a lot of things I don't have an issue with that I don't talk about openly, constantly

with everyone I've met, though. I was in my house naked. I finally had no one in my house. Nothing. Here? Oh, yeah. I was just like, put a little cum in the fish tank, you know, put a little cum by the TV. I don't.

He doesn't have a fish tank, guys. Just so like if you're like actually he didn't actually commit any sort of PETA violation. No, it's been great. I've had a couple of days off. I've been sleeping so much. Yeah. Oh, my God. I feel so much. I didn't realize couple days off. I've been sleeping so much. Yeah? Oh, my God. I feel so much.

I didn't realize how important sleep is. Did you get that nap buzz? I did take one nap. You know what I'm talking about where you wake up from a nap and you kind of have a buzz? I don't like taking naps because when I wake up from a nap, I'm angry. Yeah. It's depressing for some reason, napping. Yeah, it is.

I don't like napping. I mean, I see a lot of people who do it and they love it. Like, Sean naps all day. He's good at it. He's good at napping. I can, I see a lot of people do it and they love it. Like Sean naps all day. He's good at it. He's good at napping. I can't do it. I'm just not a napper. I can't even fall asleep to nap really like that.

Really? Too busy pounding Starbucks. I know. It's all sugar too. No, this is just milk and coffee. There's no sugar in this. It's just like a latte basically. How was your Thanksgiving?

It was fine. I was alone the whole day. It was awesome actually. I got a steak dinner. That doesn't make you sad when everyone else is taking pictures of their families? No, I'm fine. I wish I did, though. Dude, there's something about being alone on a holiday because no one is going to

fucking ask you for anything. No one's going to be like, can you email me this thing? I'm not even just talking about you. Well, when you ask me to do stuff, it's fine because you pay me. Speaking of that... No, just kidding. It's coming up. Are you going to ask for that end of the year raise?

No, I'm not. I don't ask for raises. I've never asked you for a raise. No, but I know when is it so I could just keep paying the same amount? I feel like in your heart, you know what to pay me. And if it's time for me to get a raise, you'll give me a raise. Let's go. You trust me. I trust you. Thank you. If you give me a reason

to stop trusting you, I'll bring it up. But so far you haven't. Andy Avila, I went to his house for Friendsgiving. He said some smirky ass comment. Is he going to say something you're going to cut out of the pod? No, I'm not going to cut it out. It was funny. He was trying to like impress Jeremy Salkin because Jeremy came over. JerBear. JerBear. He was in town impress Jeremy Salkin because Jeremy came over.

He was in town for his girlfriend. Love that dude. He said some snarky comment. I don't think he meant it. He was just really fucked up. His house looks awesome. He's got a pool. He's got a great pool.

He was pumped that he's finally making money where he could get a house like that. I think that was the intention. That's why I didn't really But I was saying, he was pumped that he's finally making money where he could get a house like that. Beats, yeah, yeah. I think that was the intention. That's why I didn't really be offended by it. Beats rode hard for a long time, too. He earned it. Yeah, he earned that money. I'm sure they'll get a raise in the next nine months, I feel like. You guys are going to be...

I've seen. I gave him a huge raise this year. Oh, you did? Yeah. Okay, I didn't know that. Yeah. I don't know about huge, but to me and how much we make, it's

fucking fair. Yeah, I think you pay your band very fairly. I do. If I was in your band, I wouldn't be like, I should be paid more than this. Right. Well, clap to me. Maybe a little more, but I always think I'm a good boss. Maybe a little more, but everyone always thinks they should be getting paid a little more. You know what I mean?

Do I take care of you, Bo? You good? Bo hasn't been paid in three years. We gotta get Bo on the... We haven't really talked about Bo's broken ankle. Well, I don't really know. I saw some vague picture. Where did that happen again? Zoom out to all three of us and come in here and talk about this.

Ladies and gentlemen, Bo Balinski, our tour manager. Tell the story. Tell the story. Hey, Bo. Look at this tour manager. Tell the story. Tell the story. Hey, Bo. Look at this cute-ass dog, dude. Hey, give him the mic for a second. Oh, yeah. Bo,

you fell down the fucking stairs at your birthday. First off, he had a great birthday. Oh, from what I remember of it, yeah. It was in Rochester. It was hometown show. He had a birthday that midnight. And we Yeah. What? It was in Rochester. It was hometown show. He had a birthday that midnight. And we threw this fucking...

It was crazy. So tell people what happened, really. So the video made it look like we did it during the show, which is way cooler than how it actually happened. Yeah, it did. It was just some stairs we were loading in down the stage. There was no grip or anything on there. Just a hardwood floors.

And it was raining that day. there. Just a hardwood floors. It was raining that day. Wet. I just slipped and fell. Tried catching myself. Just rolled the piss out of my ankle. He rolled the piss out of his ankle before the show and he's like, this will not stop me from having a fucking bender party.

I iced it for like 20 minutes. I was like, I can't sit here anymore. So we surprised him. It's still a little black and blue. It's not bad. Oh, no, no, no. We'll take a, we'll post a picture of what it was. I'll post a picture when it, what it was.

Um, but this motherfucker is so wild. He was with his homies. He's like, this ain't going to stop me. So I fed him maybe like three grams of mushrooms on stage. And he was like, kind of like hesitant. But I, I looked, I'm like, you're going to eat these? Because we're on stage. He was like, you're going to eat all these mushrooms,

and you're going to go about your night. 30 minutes later, he's on stage singing fucking Led Zeppelin with Sean Eccles. He's singing every song on stage. He's like, play the fucking Clash, and he jumps off the stage and goes straight, like, spread the pit out! Spread the pit out!

And he jumps in the crowd and he starts like crowd surfing and like going into the mosh pit. His leg is broken, it looked like. Wasn't there like a thousand people there? There was like a thousand people there. Sold it out. Yeah. So, do you regret that? Because I saw you after that show was over

for the last four days of the show, you were dead inside. Oh, yeah. I think that was just coming down from everything. It wasn't like a long tour. We did a lot. Yeah. It was just, yeah. Trying to finish it up. It wasn't that bad, though. It's not even over. I don't regret it.

No, we got three more weeks left. Do you regret it? Do you feel good? I feel great. Because I felt bad. You went to Steamboat. You're like, oh, I want to go. You've been waiting for this wintertime snowboarding session forever and then your old ass couldn't even get on the mound. You're like, I'm just going to kick it here. Yeah. I don't know. It was cool.

Still got to go up to the hot springs and everything. Just chill. I think it was needed. What about... How are you with the ladies? Doing just fine. Yeah? you having an okay time? Let's go. I'll clap to that. Let's go.

Let's go, Bo. Well, thank you for your service. And I just want everyone to know, I do, everyone says I, Bo deserves a raise. And everyone says I'm working Bo to the bone. Am I working you to the bone?

No. Just make the record clear. I don't think so. No? No. All right. I love you. You take care of me. Okay. Just let me know when I'm pushing you record clear. I don't think so. No? No. Alright, I love you. You take care of me.

Just let me know when I'm pushing you too hard. I mean, you see it. You taught me how to do it. Yeah, you're right. Alright, ladies and gentlemen, Bo Balinski, thank you so much for being on the show. Good job, Bo. Thanks, Bo. Keep it going. Let's interview this dog.

Get this dog on set. I want people to see it. Come up here here Oh my god He's so good for being a foster Oh my god Isn't he sweet? This is the sweetest dog I asked Jill this How do you just have the most precious dog

In your house for two weeks and not keep it? I don't know, last time Well Kino was a foster and we kept her You're going to keep this dog. Nah. He needs like a yard and like a couple kids. Why don't you just be more athletic and take him out on walks more? I take him on three walks a day.

He needs more than that? He needs like way more attention. I don't know. He needs a little bigger space. Oh my god. If you have a big house and you want to foster this dog, because the other guys who want the dog are weirdos, right? They're a little weird. Yeah.

I don't really know the whole story. I don't want to get into it in case they see him on here and try to find him. Yeah. Like, I know where Frasco is. We're kind of hiding him out right now. Yeah. If you guys want to foster a dog and you're in Colorado. Max Fund.

What's the program? Max Fund is the name. Max Fund. It's a really good shelter. Go get this dog. They have other good dogs, too. I'd rather keep this poodle in the Frasco family. I know. Look at his hair.

Look at him. He's like, oh, I'm obsessed with him. Yeah, it's funny when something likes me, isn't it? I know. Is it changing your idea of love? No, I mean, I've always liked dogs. I know, and you don't really like anything. I like stuff. What do you like? Candy. I like candy. Yeah, you like? Candy. I like candy.

What kind of candy? Movies. Oh, speaking of movies. I like stuff. Did you watch that Pepsi Where's My Jet? I actually did watch that. I fucking loved it. And I'm pissed. I'm sorry. Spoiler alert. It happened 25 years ago. It was a news story.

It's not like a fiction. But it shows how these fucking major corporations are just fucking scumbags. You know what? They hung themselves out there to dry. They got burnt. They should have given them at least like 15 million, I think. Yeah. This is why we love dialed in gummies and deep Eddie.

They take care of you. They take care of us. They gave us everything we need. When we come into town, they fucking treat us well. They don't make jokes and not honor them later. Yeah. They'll probably give us a raise if we do a good enough job.

Why are you so concerned with raises today? Is this the end of the year? It's the end of the year. I got to figure out. Is that usually what you do? Yeah. But I also I'm finally having the company made enough money where I can finally pay all the taxes from the company made enough money where I can finally pay all the taxes from the company

instead of coming out of my pocket. So I got to figure out a nice... I think I'm just going to give them nice gifts. But people like cash. Like a bonus. People like cash. The thing about that is it is a gift certificate to anywhere in the United States, basically.

You know what I'm saying? I should just give them cash. I'll give them a little... It's called a bonus. It's called a bonus? Yeah, like when somebody does a year in, but a lot of corporations do this. They'll give their company like,

oh, we had a good year. Here's a little bone bone, you know? It'd be better than like throwing a bender. Like, I want you guys to go ham. No, give them a bonus. Give them some money. I'm the union leader for the UN. I'm Teamster's Nick Gerlach.

Look at him. Union member, Team Gerlach. They could fucking do a vendor. That's not a treat. I would rather have a bonus than having a company party. Company parties sound lame as fuck. First of all, I've been to some back when I used to have real jobs.

They're really awkward and dumb. I don't know. Why would you want to see the people you work with all day outside of work? Take off those glasses. You're scaring me. You look depressed. It's just kind of like you're depressed. Oh, really?

I thought they looked badass. No, you're just wearing sunglasses. It's noon. Yeah, but it's kind of sick. I'm jazzed. It's jazzy. And you got the D-Betty fucking glasses holder. Yeah, sick, right? Shout sick. I'm jazz. That's jazzy. And you got the Deep Eddie fucking glasses holder. Yeah, it's sick, right?

Shout out to Deep Eddie. And their pride glasses. We might as well do our pitches because we're not really, we don't have a guest today. It's just me and Nick. We're going to shoot the shit for an hour. Let's start with Deep Eddie. Deep Eddie vodka. So why are you pitching and pushing me to drink Deep Eddie vodka?

So you don't drink Deep Eddie yet, do you really? I've had it a couple times. I do like vodka sodas when I'm day drinking. You do? I do drink vodka sodas. It's a great day drink. Yeah, I can't drink whiskey during the day because I start like, you know, like when your eyebrows get heavy?

No, I don't actually. What do you mean? There's different types of drunks. Yeah, I agree with that. You know, like you're fluffy, happy,, happy Sometimes the Jameson will just really punch you Whiskey can make you mean Yeah and it's really heavy I gotta do it at the night time when I'm already kind of buzzed

But tell me why I should be drinking Deep Ed versus Jameson Because it's better for you than whiskey It's got less sugar in it, it's got cane sugar It's naturally flavored Remember that movie The Other Guys with Will Ferrell? Yeah. And Mark Wahlberg. And he's in that guy's office there against

me. It's a cucumber water. Right. And he's like, it's just a hint of cucumber. It's just accents in such a way. That's how the flavoring works in Deep Eddie. This thing looks like a Deep Eddie bib. It is, basically. It's lobster night in Denver. They also gave me a ton of little blowups.

Cool. Pass them out at the Ogden show. Yeah, I'm going to try to get all this stuff out of my place. Can you get Deep Eddie everywhere? Yes, it's a nationwide brand. We're moving up. We're working with a big deal brand here. Let's go. And they're the best flavorings. You can mix them together.

My favorite is the Deep Eddie Lemon is the best one to me because I just like lemon I guess. And you say you dilute it with a little water? Just water though, not soda water. Just a little water. What about ice? And ice, yeah. You got to keep it cold. And yeah, it's the best. It's the best vodka there is, I think. It's flavored at least.

Alright, well maybe tomorrow. You should try it. I'll come to your trivia night tonight. Every Monday he does trivia at the Yacht Club. It's kind of a shintzy. Fuck it, I'll bring my own trivia night tonight. Every Monday he does trivia at the Yacht Club. I don't know if they have deep Eddie at the bar. It's kind of a shinsy... Fuck it. I'll bring my own. Hell yeah. Yeah. Fuck yeah. Let's go. Yeah.

Yeah. They use cane sugar. There's no added... The hangover sugar you get that makes you... When you drink a smeared off apple and it makes you throw up and it tastes like apple. That doesn't happen with deep Eddie. It's basically

better for you than whiskey too. So grab yourself some Deep Eddie and let's hear what all the fuss is about. Nick Gerlach. You look drunk right now. You put some Deep Eddie in that fucking Starbucks? No, I'm not drunk at all. Oh. I haven't been drinking in the morning since...

What if Deep Eddie sent me this? Maybe that's why you haven't hung out with anyone for five days. What if... Exactly. All of a sudden, I'm like... Full-blown alcohol. All of a sudden, out of nowhere. And like this...

Because they sent me those bottles and I've just been drinking those. Yeah, it's really weird. They sent those bottles five days ago, Nick. Nick hasn't done anything. Yeah, he hasn't done shit. I've been doing stuff. A lot of thinking, right? What are you thinking about?

Oh, dude. Can I tell you this actually... A better thing than that? This funny story that happened to my girlfriend's mom about a flashlight. Like a vibrator toy? A flashlight? Yeah, it's like the thing that for men to stick their penis in, I think, right?

Yeah. So how old is your girlfriend's mom? She is 75. Let me characterize her. She's a very sweet, innocent, Catholic, but in the nice way, not like in the invasive. I'm trying to make you all you know like a very unassuming nice everyone loves her she's she's fostered 30 to 40 kids herself she's like a mother everyone's mom okay very innocent and naive she has a son-in-law okay my girlfriend's

brother-in-law who is a bit of a jokester he has has some kids. Two of them are twins. One's 11. He's a real funny kid and she asked what does he want for Christmas this year and he told her a flashlight. Okay. No way. Is this real? Yes. I swear to God. Now, let me add. She doesn't have any clue what a flashlight is.

She's a good... These boomers... Porn is like 10 years old and being accessible. No one, sex toys are brand new. She doesn't know what that is. She starts going shopping, looking for flashlights, okay? At stores. Where?

She thinks it's like a game. She goes to four different places. Finally at Target, she asks someone and some lowly, you know, poor Target employee in the toy department had to explain to a 75-year-old woman what a fleshlight is. What did you say after? I don't know. But, like, I thought that he was going to be in more trouble. The brother-in-law, it's going okay.

I think people are taking the joke. How did your sister not, like, say, what's the brother-in-law's name? I don't think she knew that he told her that until after that because it wasn't a big deal. You know what I mean? This kid's hilarious. So he also he put, I don't want to say his name because he's not 18. You know what I mean? He's a kid. He also put Gluck Gluck

3000 on his birthday list this year. Like eight thing down and no one in her family knew what that was and just like his own mom didn't know what it was and she put it on Facebook on there like look at my kids because his was he has a twin and his is all organized and his sister's is all messy so she was just showing how how they're different personality wise and i'm like reading it and it says gluck gluck 3000 on there and that's we gotta turn for head we might need this kid to help us make some content i know we gotta get this kid on the show

it's pretty funny too yeah for a 12 year old-year-old, it's like pretty smart. He's 12 asking for a flashlight? He's 11 or 12, yeah. But I mean, that's a joke, obviously. I don't think, you know. That is so fucking funny. How good is that? That is amazing.

Thanksgiving Day, your own grandmother asking around about a flashlight. I have kind of the same thing. My mom's 70. She came to my show in New York and everyone, I was like, man, she overheard me like, God, they're giving out balloons outside

like nitrous balloons. And she didn't know anything about nitrous. Yeah, we're giving them balloons. So she ran outside to get nitrous balloons for me and she's in line with all my Frasco fans with the nitrous mafia

and Schwartz saw her in line. It's like, what are you doing in there? Oh my God. He's like, Andy wants balloons. I didn't know what a balloon was. I see all these people with balloons.

You sent your mom to get your... I did. She was like, because I was talking to all my... Can you believe about Nitrous Mafia? I don't want them to know that I said that. No, I was just talking with all my fans

like, oh, they're giving out balloons. Frasco's getting famous when the Nitrous Mafia is following the tour. She's like, ooh, balloons? What's that? I'll have to go check it out. She goes outside, waits in line, and Schwartz saw her

outside like, Marlene, get back in there. You're not buying any fucking balloons. Oh my god. Just like, just a picture of like, these guys in a flat Philly, Philadelphia Sixers flat brims with like, Pashminas on and like, And then your mom And then like your 70 year old mother right in the middle

I'm Andy's mom Shout out to my mom That's my son up there She's so oblivious with drugs and shit Yeah your dad isn't I think your dad's a little more street wise If you know what I mean I convinced my parents, my mom, my dad didn't

If my mom says fine My dad didn't. If my mom says fine, my dad won't even fight with her. Of course. Hail is all the time, brother. We were big into hookah in high school and middle school. We would smoke hookah every day. Maybe that's why I'm addicted to tobacco because when I was 13, I was

smoking hookah. You guys sound pretty cool. You guys sound like some cool dudes. Well, I hung out with a bunch of Israelis and Persians. Okay. That's what the value is all. Well, I hung out with a bunch of Israelis and Persians. Okay. That's what the valley is all. That does make it a little less lame. So it's like you're doing it with the family members and stuff. I was picturing like blonde surfer guys. Let's smoke hookah.

No, no. The valley is all Persians and Israelis. All right. And Armenians. Oh. So that's all the traditions they all do. No, that's different. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So I was like, all right, how can I have these parties at my house? Because I always wanted to have the hookah party. So I convinced my mom that, oh yeah, we're just going to be lighting fruit on fire and we're going to suck the fumes of the fruit. And she's like, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, great. Like Deep Eddie. You're basically doing Deep Eddie, but with smoke. Yeah, and then, hi buddy.

Oh, he likes it. I want this dog so bad. He's real affectionate, everybody. The dog just came over to cuddle Andy. Oh And then, hi, buddy. Oh, he likes it. I want this dog so bad. He's real affectionate. Everybody, the dog just came over to cuddle Andy. Sorry. Oh, my God.

This is bad. The thing is, I'm too vulnerable for this. This is why network TV sucks. They would want this. Get this dog out of here. But a smart podcast like us knows this sells.

It sells. People want to see a $1,200 dog trying to cuddle Andy. You guys literally have the same hair. I know. We do. It's pretty amazing. I love this dog.

Am I a narcissist that I want a dog that looks like me? No. I think everybody We do. It's pretty amazing. I love this dog. Am I a narcissist that I want a dog that looks like me? No. I think everybody wants a dog that looks like them. I'm just kidding. You're a narcissist for other reasons. I don't know. Is everyone a narcissist now? Everyone thinks everyone's a narcissist now. I mean, yeah. Everyone calls all their exes a narcissist. As soon as they break up with someone,

they're a narcissist. Have you noticed that? I've realized that. What the fuck is wrong with you people? No, they just don't like you anymore. That means maybe you're the narcissist. I had a fight with... Oh, God. About me...

Cut this out. No. I'm just kidding. I'm not talking about previous fights. We're like, you know... You just... Like... Well...

What? I'm in the... Why? I'm trying to get these boys a bonus. Trying to get these boys a bonus. Let's go. Yeah, women don't like it when you're like... They're like...

And you're like, you know... So they can do fun stuff, you know? All right, maybe we should delete this. Cut. But my mom let me smoke hookah for years. Thinking you're just like down there firing up orange peels? Yeah, we're just lighting

tobacco. Do you get high on hookah, really? Oh, fuck yeah. I love it. It's kind of like a cigar, but like so much smoke. I want to know more Armenians. Oh, we used to put hash in the hookah. Armenians are cool. Armenians are cool. Armenians are cool.

My best friend was Armenian. Zoidus is Armenian, I think. When I was a big sex addict, he was the guy who would go... They're all very strong alpha males. Yeah, very alpha. He would be egging me on to have more sex. Yeah, that sounds like something Armenian.

Yeah. Because he would have sex too. They've got a very rough history too. So they're very... Yeah, that's why we kind of related. But now... Yeah, I could see a relationship between the Armenians. Because he would have sex too. They had a very rough history too. So they're very... Yeah. That's why we kind of related. But now... Yeah. I could see a relationship

between the Armenians. Because we both had like... They've both been genocided. Genocide. The Armenian genocide. They got it worse than us, I think. I don't know. I don't like to compare genocides.

Once you're getting genocided, you know what I mean? Because you're bad. You're right. Whatever. Now though, nowadays, I don't really talk to him anymore because he's really anti-Semitic now. Yeah. I could see nowadays, I don't really talk to him anymore

because he's really anti-Semitic now. Yeah, I could see that. I don't know. Man, Eastern Europe's got some wild shit going on. I know. It's just as complicated. There's like white people, stuff going on with the religion.

I don't know. It's even more. I wonder if we'll ever go back to Europe. We probably will. You? Yeah. A tour-wise? Yeah.

Why wouldn't you? I don't know. Maybe. I mean, we lost money last time. I thought that was like part of it. I will. You? Yeah. A tour wise? Yeah. Why wouldn't you? I don't know. Maybe we, I mean, we lost money last time. I thought that was like part of it. I mean, yeah,

I think we'll get on the festival circuit this summer. Yeah, man. Um, but that'd be fun to play some festivals in Europe. Oh, they're the blast. Those are the first time I ever,

I hope that maybe if you guys do that, Ernie will bail again and I can go do it. I think he knows. Um, I did have my talk with Ernie will bail again. I can go do it. I think he knows. I did have my talk with Ernie. It worked out good. What was your talk about? Are you allowed to talk about this on the pod?

I don't know. Should I talk about this on the pod? Just talk about it. We can cut it out and you can decide later. I just told him how he was bummed out that there's not a lot more sax parts in this on these last couple records. Oh, right, right, right. He's like, I just don't know what to do right now with my musical. I'm like, you need to be, instead of thinking

of like you being my number two guy, I need you my Lamar Odom. I need you that six player. I love basketball analogies for bands. They always work. Yeah, and he's a big basketball head. So I was like, I need you to be my, you know, a little bit of everything guy. Instead of just having one main focus of just shooting.

You know what I'm saying? Oh, I get it. So, I think he really took that good. He's an adult. He's an adult. But, you know, sometimes it's a hard pill to swallow. And, you know, look at Russell Westbrook. At first, he was fighting to be a six man. Now

he's doing crazy. He's putting out all-star numbers as a six man. Yeah. That's like the perfect role for him right now, actually, coming off the bench because like he can do his thing off the bench. Man, I'm really into how coaches coach alphas. Oh yeah, it's a thing. Phil Jackson was like the man at that. It was like his only skill

basically, right? Oh yeah. I'm just kidding. He's a great coach. This is why, Brian, if you're listening, this is how you should understand us musicians who are all alpha males. Are we?

No, but I'm an omega male. Let us do what we got to do. Do our thing, man. Sometimes we got to kill a homeless person To feel alright in our head You know what I mean Yeah

While we're home for Thanksgiving By ourselves But I do love I'm not talking about anyone specific man But sometimes you just gotta go out And just like Kill a couple homeless people In City Park man

And just chill man Go back and finish off Your deep Eddie Cranberry man It's so stupid Alright go back to your thing. I was just saying how it's just, you know, it's like if you're working as a group and you're the leader of the group,

you really have to like let people be themselves. Yep. But also... Within the framework. Within the framework and figure out how to steer the horses into the same direction. Sean Eccles is a great...

He knows his role. Yeah. Well, it took a minute. Yeah, but he knows it. It takes a while. Yeah. New basketball teams aren't that good either, you know?

I know. Lakers are getting better. They're getting better. I think they're going to make the playoffs. Yeah, for sure. The Blazers are going to fall off. Blazers fans, you guys are so delusional every year.

Every year. Damon Lillard's getting worse every year. They always... It's like, yeah, you're that team that getting worse every year. They always, it's like, yeah, you're that team that like did pretty good for the first three weeks when everybody's still getting their shit together. The Lakers are still on their preseason.

Yeah. Yeah. Speaking of something that's never needed to get their shit together. Cause they're always perfect. Doubting gummies. Yes. Our people, our boys.

exterior is hard, but he's soft on the inside? I don't think that's actually true. Actually, it's true. When I saw you cry, when Keno died... I'm a human being. When Keno died... Right? No, no, you're definitely not a human being. Sometimes I have to go to the park and walk around at night

and look for some tents, see if someone's asleep in it. You're sick. Just to feel something. But when Keno died and we were both sleeping's sad We were both sleeping On the couch together I could feel the sadness And the tears Yeah it was a sad thing

Yeah It's sad when a dog dies I know I don't like feelings They're okay They can help guide you Yeah I've been

Really Trying to dial in my feelings But sometimes You are? Yeah Like how? I'm not trying to react Emotionally Oh yeah As much? I'm not trying to react emotionally

oh yeah as much as I used to when like something bad happens I try to like take a breath yeah and not react with my emotions as much as much bad things have happened to you

you think you'd be used to it by now you know no this industry is just a constant series of letdowns yeah it's fucked up that's what I'm saying I'm not talking about like

your life's been pretty good but like this is your job yeah it's just the ups That's what I'm saying. I'm not talking about like your life's been pretty good, but like this is your job. Yeah, it's just the ups and downs of the music industry. And sometimes like, you know, I take it out on my relationships. Yeah. Yeah. You hit people?

I don't hit people. You don't hit people, do you? When's the last time you got in like a physical fight? Third grade. Third grade? No, no, no. You didn't go get in fights like when you were 20? Third grade, I got my ass kicked. I got my ass kicked. Devin. Brandon Davis, I think

his name was. Fuck you, Brandon Davis. What are you doing now? He was a bully and he was bullying all my friends, so I kind of like stepped up to him. I didn't realize I wasn't strong. And he fucking threw my head into the concrete. Oh my God. And then I went to go bite his leg because I didn't know what to do. I'd never gotten in a fight before. And he fucking threw my head into the concrete. Oh my God. And then I went to go bite his leg because I didn't know what to do. I'd never gotten in a fight before.

And he fucking kicked my head out. Oh my God, dude. He could have fucking... Yeah. Maybe you got a concussion. You got CTE. Maybe. And then I did it once in seventh grade.

That was the last time I ever... What was that fight like? It was with Drew Unger. Drew Unger, you fucking piece of shit. He was just talking shit. About you? About me and my friend groups. I'm like, I'll face this motherfucker.

I don't care. But I didn't realize that in middle school and high school, fights were a thing. So people circle you and shit. Oh, yeah. I was like, damn, there's like 100 people watching me. I'm like, I might not even fight. So I had to take one punch.

I had to punch him. Or I'd look like soft. Did you get one off too? I got one punch. I had to punch him. Or I'd look like soft. Did you get one off too? I got one off. He got one on me. I kind of ducked it and I got one on him. Everybody should get punched in the face. Once at least. So I didn't want to be embarrassed out there.

I think I did okay. No bar fights? You never got a dumb bar fight? No, I don't fight. I don't like fighting. I don't like shooting guns. Sometimes you just get caught up in them. What? Sometimes you just get caught up in a bar fight and you kind of have to be part of the bar fight? No, I don't fight. I don't like fighting. I don't like shooting guns. Sometimes you just get caught up in them. What? Sometimes you just get caught up in a bar fight and you kind of have to be part of the bar fight too. That might be an Indiana thing. I think that's just some fucking aggressive

alcoholic thing. LA, they're like, no. I did see Sean strangle someone. Whoa. He was like, he was playing a kuzik show in Denver. This guy was just chirping And he went out Right when you flip the switch

Sean will kill you I would not want to be on his bad side He pulled off his guitar He was ready to throw the guitar I was like yes Yeah that guy was a dick to Sean Fights rule I don't care what anyone says.

I like those fight videos come out and my girlfriend's like, I hate the violence. I'm like, no, fights rule. Remember Kimbo Slice videos? Dude, yes. There's something deep in our lizard psyche that we just love to watch fucking people fight. There's nothing better than that. I don't like it.

I watch that UFC and I get cringy. No, I'm talking about street fights. Just random fights where people... You know what I mean? No, I just think of L I get cringy. No, I'm talking about like street fights, like just random fights where like people, you know what I mean? No, I just think of like Limp Bizkit and shit. Isn't that wild that you can just be like walking through your day and then all of a sudden you're fighting someone

because like you have a disagreement about like whatever random thing. I feel like it happened in Buffalo a lot or like Philadelphia. Does that shit happen? Like you're just minding your own business and all of a sudden you're fighting someone? Like when's the last time you got in a...

Yeah, but like you bump into him on the side. I don't know. There's things. Things come up. Or like you never... When's the last time you got like a little chirp back with someone? Oh, I almost got in a fight with that dude from... What? Yeah, that guy was acting like a hoe. An actual physical fight?

Oh, he was talking mad shit throughout the quarantine. Mask? About me not wearing a mask and then he's out there going on tour with his band. I'm like, you are a hypocrite. Yeah. Then I saw him at the... Doesn't really matter. He was there.

He was there and he was all trying to be nice. Like he forgot that he was trying to pick a fight with me online. And you know, I am the comeback king. You kind of are. I am the comeback king. nice. He forgot that he was trying to pick a fight with me online. And you know I am the comeback king. I am the comeback king of people talking shit about me and my friends. I will come back and I will... You don't like it.

I hate it. You don't ever defend me. You usually go, that's true. He does suck. Because you know I can handle it. You can handle it. I don't give a fuck. Some of my sensitive musician friends in the jam scene, they don't like to bark back,

but they watch all that shit when all people are talking shit about their bands. And I'm here for the people. It's fun for these people who've never done anything in their entire fucking life to hate on some band they've never met before, but still pay and go see it. Just admit you like it. Admit something it's fine i know why we've never done anything what's the same thing with you why are you afraid to love i'm not afraid to love i have a i've been

with the same woman for 10 years i mean you've been with the same best friend for a couple years too you haven't said i loved you uh i have said i love you actually i've said it on the podcast i told you maybe let's see what my bonus is like. Actually, let's see if I get a little bag. Oh, my God. This dog. I'm obsessed. He's a good dog.

Are you strangling him right now? No, I'm just holding it. He's the best. Why don't you just keep this dog? It's just it's not. I don't think he's would be right. And he's going to get we need... We're going to get probably like... We need a little break.

This is the dog you need. A Xanax dog. He's chill. But I think just like I'm not ready to have a dog like full time. Bo, if I bought this dog, will you help me take care of it? He probably will end up doing it. We need a band dog. It's too big for a band dog.

Yeah, he's kind of big. That's the other thing He's a little big I would love To be like Sublime or something Have the dog just chilling Oh yeah

There's that one band The reggae guy He travels with his dog Coco the tour dog What's the deal with that Every reggae band Has their dog just chilling I think his is like a

Service dog on some level But her name's Coco the tour dog She has her own Instagram I can't remember What band it is. It's like a reggae band. Yeah, it's good. It's so amazing.

Some days you're sad. Some days you're happy. Me? No, just everybody. Isn't that crazy? It is weird. I love that about life. It's all chemicals.

Yeah. Yeah, it is all chemicals. Were you happy in California all week? You seemed like you were having a good time. I was having a good time. I was having a good time. You know, I had a couple situations that happened. Oh, you always have some situations. Yes.

Well, I was also nerve wracked. I'm more worried about my dad saying some dumb shit like that. Like, oh. Some Trump shit? He's done with the Trump stuff. Oh, he is? Yeah, he's still Republican. Oh, he's over Trump.

Yeah. He's on to like DeSantos or whatever. DeSantis. DeSantis. Oh, yeah. He's the new Republican God. Right. He's a young man.

Young man. But he was actually pretty chill. We were actually like kind of agreeing on some things. Yeah, because you're turning into a Republican, remember? Jesus. No, I'm not. No, I'm not. And he's out. No, I'm just kidding. He's not. Yes, because you're turning into a Republican, remember? No, I'm not. No, I'm not. No, I'm just kidding. He's not. Yes, he kind of is.

Just the taxes. Just the tax stuff. I mean, hard to disagree with. Like, who wants to pay more taxes? Oh, I can't wait to pay taxes. I can't wait to give the government money. I can't wait to see how much my tax bill is. My account sucks. My account sucks. My account sucks.

I pay this person. I don't know anything about it. I mean, how do you know he's not doing his best? Because I never know how much I owe until like two weeks before. I don't like that. You don't pay quarterly? I've been trying for years. What do you mean?

How do you fail at paying quarterly? He just doesn't tell me how much I owe. Oh, I see what you're saying. So, like, I'm always like, don't know if I have enough money in the bank or if I have to go into my savings. I'm trying to, but... I know a good guy. Yeah. He does, like, band

finance management, basically. Well, it's also the thing where... He used to be the drummer in the Coup. I'm done trying to micromanage my managers because they get so pissed off when I do that. So, I'm just having them let them run... You micromanage my managers because they get so pissed off when I do that. I'm just going to have them let them run. You micromanage? No, I'm serious. You don't do that with me, really. I don't think you've ever micromanaged me once.

I know. Well, maybe because I trust you. I'm just kidding. Why are you laughing at saying you trust me? No, because I'm saying because I don't trust the managers. No, that's not true. Well, their job is more important, too. No, I don'm saying because I don't trust the managers. Well, their job is more important too. No, I don't know. I think it's

I don't know. I don't know what that is. Do I micromanage you, Bo? No, maybe it's just their fault then. Could be their fault. I think it's sensitive. I think it's a manager thing. Yeah, managers are sensitive because they know deep down they're not really doing anything. You know what I mean?

Shut the door. No, no, no. I know it's a joke. They doing anything. You know what I mean? Shut the dump down. They know it's a joke. They do a lot. Yeah, I guess. Managers do a lot. Yeah. I'm just kidding.

It's a joke. This is a podcast. Can I manage you? Sure. What are you going to do for me? What if I take the 50% of what I pay you? Right back. There's probably people doing that right probably

Intersection, right? Yeah. Then we're flying out a tattoo artist to LA. My homie Chris Vel Then we're flying out a tattoo artist to LA.

My homie Chris Velasquez, who's like the number one tattoo artist in LA, he's getting us all tattoos. We're going to get band tattoos. All both bands. Wait, so my question here is, what do you mean? Like you're going to get...

We're all getting the same tattoo. That's what I'm saying. Because you're different bands. So what is the tattoo going to be? It's a black sheep Why are you black sheep? Because we're the black sheep of our scenes Are you?

Don't let me second guess my tattoo right before I get it It might be good to second guess your tattoo If you guys think you're all black sheep Then you're all black sheep That's fine I'm not going to ever bring it up ever again. No, yes, you are. It's like the empath thing.

I felt like you reposted that empath thing because of me. I reposted that because I couldn't agree more with what that lady is saying. It's 100% true. And you've heard me say that almost exact same thing in this podcast. I know. That's why I thought you were talking to me. I love when something I say is used as like a comedian says it and people laugh at it. It's like, yes, I was right. Yeah. No, I don't think you've ever called yourself an empath to me. I love when something I say is used as like a comedian says it and people laugh at it. It's like, yes, I was right.

Yeah. No, I don't think you've ever called yourself an empath to me. I did. You did? Yeah, you made fun of me. Well, you don't do it though. You're not like, there's people that like. Wait, is this a bad idea to all get matching tattoos?

No. I don't care. It's just, you have like eight other weird tattoos. It's not like it's, if it was your first tattoo. Yeah. All right. What's it look like? Let me see it. It's going to be a black sheep. I don't know. We's not like it's your... If it was your first tattoo... Yeah. All right. What's it look like? Let me see it.

It's going to be a black sheep. I don't know. We haven't made it yet. It's a black sheep head with a second place. I guess you're... I mean, you're not not the black sheep.

Are they the black sheep in their scene? Yeah, in the reggae scene. I thought they were kind of popular and stuff. They had a lot of fans at that indie show. Bro, they have fans

every night. I didn't realize. They're bigger than I thought. They're big. They're getting bigger. No, yeah. And it's bigger. It's not big in this way where it's online. It's like people go to your shows. You know what I mean?

They're getting 200,000 plus monthly listeners on Spotify more than any jam band. Right, but there's artists doing that where it doesn't translate to ticket sales. For them, it is. I don't get that. A lot of songwriters have huge Spotify numbers.

And no one comes out. And no one comes to their shows. I don't understand that. I don't know. Maybe their show's boring. Or like, that's a thing. Yeah. Not everybody, not every,

like, I've said this before, like, not all music is designed to be performed in a live, in a bar. You know what I mean? Right. Like all that lo-fi hip-hop shit that's like getting millions of streams, but like they sell 15 tickets if they do a show. You know what I mean? Right. Like all that lo-fi hip hop shit that's like getting millions of streams, but like they sell 15 tickets if they do a show.

It's the same kind of thing. Yeah. Yeah, Little Stranger's cool, dude. They're cool dudes, I thought. Right. They're great. Yeah. And then December 14th,

we're at Raleigh, North Carolina. That show is not sold out. Weird. It's not sold out. But Lincoln Theater, it's a big spot. It's big. It's like a thousand cats. I love Raleigh.

We're just starting to get big out there. Raleigh's a great city. Yeah, it's cool. And then like a thousand cap. We're just starting to get big out there. Raleigh's a great city. Yeah, it's cool. And then Wilmington, North Carolina on the 15th. Not where we played last time. That show's almost sold out. God, I forgot how many almost sold out. You can't be playing where we played last time.

That was like an outdoor. No, we're playing, it's like this old church. It's like 700 cap. And then Atlanta on the 16th. That's getting close. Nashville isn't close because we're at the Brooklyn Bowl Which is fucking huge It's weird that the actual Brooklyn Bowl

Is the smallest Brooklyn Bowl So get your tickets You're not doing Basement East again No That sold out last time If we would have done the Basement East The show would have sold out already Yeah it sold out last time. If we would have done the basement east, the show would have sold out already. Yeah, it sold out last year.

So we're at 500 right now and we need to get to 1,200. I think you can, but that's like two weeks. Two and a half weeks. Brooklyn Bowl's tough. But actually, Brooklyn Bowl's probably a good walk-up venue too. Yeah, but... Is this kind of a tourist spot? I don't know. I hope we get to like 700.

You want Pete Shapiro to be happy with you. Right. If you want to make it in this industry. In the jam band industry. I was just about to tell you something and I lost my train of thought. Something about your tour. You're going to talk to me about tour. Oh yeah, that's been great. Yeah. Do you think it's weird that we're all kissing each other on the mouth a lot?

I was going to actually bring that up today and you actually just... It's going on a lot now, huh? Everyone's kissing each other. Even backstage, we're all kissing each other. Just like pecs. Good job. Good show today. Who's kissing? Everybody?

It feels like everyone is kissing. Even Andy Avila is kissing people on the mouth. Sean, you guys, go ahead and rack up that black sheep tattoo. Why are you doing that? I thought it's fun. It's bonding. Don't ever try to kiss me. No, no. You'll punch me. I don't know.

Not even on some homophobic shit. I'd actually be less offended if a gay guy... What if I did it on stage? If a gay guy was attracting me and trying to kiss me, I would accept that before you trying to kiss me. Why? It's a power thing. I don't know. I don't like it. It's not romantic thing. I don't know. I don't like it. It's not romantic love.

I mean... I don't kiss... Don't just go around kissing. I think our relationship is kind of romantic. No, it's not romantic in any way, shape, or form, Andy. And that...

What do you mean? Go to therapy. I'm just kidding. We're so... Why are you kissing? I'm more intimate with you than I am with a lot of people in my life.

Okay, but I want to get back to this kissing thing. Sean's kissing? Sean's kissing. Ernie? Ernie is like, he kisses, but he's like, don't tell my girlfriend. Is he exaggerating this? Is Bo kissing?

If he gets a peck, people ask him for a peck. Kevin, like, second day, Kevin was like, Bo, come here, give me a kiss. I like it. Well, there's like parts of this that I like. Like, I do like the openness and the warmness, the warmth of this. Yeah. Don't ever fucking try to kiss me. But I like that you guys are all, it's not homophobic, I guess, or anything.

Cause it's like, you're all doing it. And it's not very, right. It's just, I'm, I don't know how to respond. Actually. This is hard. Don't ever kiss me. Kiss your homies in the mouth. I like that. You guys are going to get sick.

We already did. Let's go. We're back. We all got sick. Now we're back. I guess it's okay as long as it's all consensual. Man, those guys. Little stranger? I love them. They're partying. They're fucking partying.
