Starting point is 00:00:00 Brasco hey man this is Vince from leftover um I don't know if you're back from Chiang Chiang yet uh I bet the Olympics were fun we're up here at Winter Wondergrass but man we uh we just got the bill for the fucking vomit all over the bus that uh you deposited that night. It's like 300, 400 bucks. Love you to call me back on that one, dude. You know, we've settled the deal with the cops. I don't think you'll have to show up for your court date at all. I think we got that settled. But, man, what could you eat, dude you eat dude god anyway give me a call
Starting point is 00:00:48 hello mr andrew frasco this is officer gary o'neill at the los angeles county sheriff's department i'm calling in reference to a missing police cruiser that was stolen from our parking lot last night our security footage clearly shows a six-foot male, possibly Jewish, with a considerably large afro and a pink fur coat, enter the vehicle at approximately 3.31 a.m. with three unnamed females. We were able to positively identify the suspect because he was screaming the words, I'm Andy Frasco, bitch, repeatedly into the dashboard camera.
Starting point is 00:01:26 Now, Mr. Frasco, I'm going to level with you on this one. Come to our attention that one of our officers in fact provided you with the keys to this vehicle. So, in that case, how about you just bring the car back to the station and we can call the whole thing a misunderstanding.
Starting point is 00:01:42 Also, you left a bag of weed in the parking lot, but unfortunately we can't give it back to you because we smoked that shit. How we doing everybody? It is episode two of the Andy Frasco World Saving Podcast with the Yeti. We're here. We made it to round two of podcast history. Oh, you hear me fart? You were farting right now.
Starting point is 00:02:17 Was that you? Yeah, that was. It was definitely not me because I was like, I was not myself. Oh, my stomach hurts. I think I shouldn't have eaten that fish soup in Utah. It was a seafood soup. How are you feeling? What are you doing?
Starting point is 00:02:37 What's wrong with you today? What's wrong with me today? You look all sad. Man, I don't want to say. I don't think of things that are wrong. I just look at things like, I'm totally splitting hairs. You know, relationships are a journey and they're hard. And, you know, I'm gay married to a woman.
Starting point is 00:03:01 Gay married? We got, do you remember that? What's that mean? The night we met. I remember. Oh, was I there? Yeah that mean? The night we met. I remember. Oh, was I there? Yeah. Or not the night we met. Yeah, the day before.
Starting point is 00:03:09 We went and became mutually committed domestic partners. What does that mean? I'm so out of that relationship. I mean, it's a tongue-in-cheek thing with the gay marriage thing. But that was how in the particular municipality where we live in salt lake city um how before the federal allowing of gay marriage that was how gay gay people gay couples got married and so um legally so they could have health insurance or like for example um if you're in a serious accident and they need to decide what to do with you medically. You need to have that.
Starting point is 00:03:45 So it's like a medical power of attorney along with health benefits and different things like that. So you signed an agreement with this girl? Yeah. So for $27. That doesn't cheapen it. When did you do this?
Starting point is 00:03:56 What month did you do this in? December 1st. How many months into the relationship? We'd been together 13 months. 13 months 13 month so you that's still fresh dog soon but what were you thinking say were you just in love I am yeah still lover yeah it's
Starting point is 00:04:15 good sex it's everything I think that I love her very much and she I mean I honestly like did you ever see that was that movie with Bruce Willis and, oh, shoot, the kid with three names that was on Third Rock from the Sun. Who? I can't think of his name. Anyway.
Starting point is 00:04:34 Jonathan Taylor Thomas? No. Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Yeah, and he's the time traveler and he like, did you see that movie? No. All right, this movie., blah, blah, blah. The guy, the old guy of the young guy
Starting point is 00:04:49 is telling, he's telling his younger self somehow they can see each other and it doesn't produce a time paradox, which flies in the face of everything Back to the Future taught us, but that's another story. So anyways, basically he's saying, you don't understand who she is.
Starting point is 00:05:03 She saved me. She saves you. Like because he becomes addicted to drugs or whatever it is and ends up, this woman that he falls in love with. And that's, I say that in a very geeky way with my movie randomness. That's the way I feel about my relationship with Meg
Starting point is 00:05:20 is that I know that I wouldn't be who I am today without her. Meg is that I know that I wouldn't be who I am today without her. And at the same time, life is difficult when you have two people that know relatively what they want. And you throw it all in. So what are you being at the Bush? Are you guys in a fight? Why are you so sad? Yeah. Talk about all this sappy shit and then you're sad about it. What? You don't want that? Or what's going on? You don't want the fights.
Starting point is 00:05:51 You don't want the disagreements. No, no. What are you fighting about? Oh, man. Let's get it. Tell us. People want to know. People are probably
Starting point is 00:06:00 dealing with the same stuff. Man, it comes down to… How hard is marriage? Oh, man. It's hard. I was married before, too. I've been there. are probably dealing with the same stuff man it comes down to how hard is marriage oh man it's hard i was married before too like i've been there like we were talking about it before in episode 1 how at 21 you know i was uh in the uh in the throes of wanting to be married and i was actually engaged um at 21 and so didn't go through with it. But anyway, what's it like to be married? What's it like to be in a relationship like that? I've never had one. You've never had one.
Starting point is 00:06:34 I have no idea. Why are you so upset? It's, why do you put your question, Andy Frasco, for those of you following along at home, and I say this all the time, he wants to know, I think what you're saying is you want to know, hey, I haven't experienced this. Why is this consuming you? Like, this doesn't make sense to me. Yeah. Or like, why would another person consume this much?
Starting point is 00:06:53 You talk about all these happy things about your spouse or whatever, and you're still unhappy. Why are you unhappy? That's the question, right? And ultimately, it's because when you make something, that relationship, whatever it is, when you make it more than what it is, you really put that other person on a pedestal.
Starting point is 00:07:13 And when they let you down, as tends to happen with our expectations, things come crashing down. So you're more heartbroken. Yeah. And it's not... Why? Because you had expectations you're more heartbroken. Yeah. And it's not, but I'm heartbroken. And yes,
Starting point is 00:07:29 I had expectations. What were your expectations? The expectations are, you go into it, you know, I remember hearing somewhere that, you know, hearing somewhere,
Starting point is 00:07:39 I remember at a very young age, understanding that it seemed like men wanted, like they got married, they got into serious relationships because they wanted to have peace, right? Like, oh, we'll get married, house, buy a house, get a spouse, two kids, a dog, all that stuff. And then suddenly there was a shift in consciousness and people were like, oh, I don't have to get married to be happy. And so now we've got kind of this paradigm where people are, where I see myself in that I grew up with this ideal that that was what I wanted. That's not exactly what I wanted. I want something like that.
Starting point is 00:08:24 I want connection, but I don't want tradition. And so, you know, that's what our relationship is. I mean, we're not swingers. I'm not saying that. This isn't an open invitation or anything like that. So you couldn't have sex with another girl?
Starting point is 00:08:42 No, I wouldn't. Yeah, we are in a mutually exclusive relationship. Is it all what you thought it would be? Yeah. I mean, the highs, all the time. What about the lows? Are there more lows than highs? At this point
Starting point is 00:09:05 at this point there's a lot more lows yeah yeah because it's new and you guys are still getting to know each other getting to know each other
Starting point is 00:09:11 yeah how does that feel? how does that feel to have more lows and highs in a relationship that you want so badly to succeed? well and that's just it
Starting point is 00:09:21 is that you just want to you just I mean sometimes you find yourself acting out of desperation because you just want to win. Like you just want. So you're settling. You I think that's the difference. If I find myself resisting something, I'm going the wrong direction.
Starting point is 00:09:51 Why am I resisting? You asked me a question, it takes me a little bit. Why am I resisting answering that? I should just surrender to that moment. I think you're afraid to express how you feel because you're worried about what other people are going to think about you.
Starting point is 00:10:07 This should be our free space to be free. So don't worry about it, Yeti. It's not like we have a million listeners yet. Our moms don't even know about this. Yeah, I'm not talking to my mom about it. I'm not telling my mom about this. I want to talk about the stuff that's going on in my head. I go through this too, though, man. But I do it telling my mom about this. I want to talk about the stuff that's going on in my head.
Starting point is 00:10:25 I go through this too though, man. But I do it with my career. I didn't think it was going to take me 10 years to get to this point in my life. I thought it was going to happen instantly. That self-gratification. But as I get older and realize, if it would have came instantly, then I wouldn't have appreciated all those lows I had of sleeping in the van or getting our van broken into and not selling enough merch
Starting point is 00:10:54 and not having enough money to get a hotel so you sleep on the side of the street. All that stuff sucks, but I think it's just part of the relationship or the timeline of this forever thing. If it's forever, like you say it is, if you're going to marry someone, fuck, it's probably forever. Yeah. So…
Starting point is 00:11:16 My ex-wife, no. Oh, yeah. It's probably forever. Oh, except for that. I'm waiting. I think I know once I get married once, I'll get divorced. And I'll just keep on getting divorced.
Starting point is 00:11:29 How many ex-wives will you marry multiple times? I think I'll divorce one and then try again with someone else and then get back together with the first one. Like, no, baby. No, no, no, no. You moved to Utah and have sister wives. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:11:43 That sounds like too much trouble. I tried. I had this one point in my life. I don't know how that guy handles it where I I had like 12 girlfriends you were telling me about this in bed yeah
Starting point is 00:11:52 yeah I was like well it's just like not by purpose you know I'm not like I'm not just gonna hook up with someone and then not talk to them
Starting point is 00:12:00 you know I wanna I wanna keep building a relationship with someone you know it's not I'm not trying to be greedy and trying to keep building a relationship with someone. I'm not trying to be greedy and try to just bust a nut. Peace! That's not
Starting point is 00:12:11 who I am. So many rap songs just went over my head. Hip hop everywhere. No, I want to be friends with them. It's like I'm just in this weird predicament where I'm only in a town for two days a year and I'm never in a town for two days a year and I'm never in a town long enough where I
Starting point is 00:12:28 could build a relationship like with just one person. I'm building relationships with multiple women. Gay, I haven't hooked up with a dude yet. I mean, maybe I will. I don't know if I get bored enough, but I'm not saying
Starting point is 00:12:44 I'm not gay. The survival rate for everything drops to zero. Yeah, I hear what you're saying. But you know, you get lonely and you want companionship. We strive for companionship, even if it's for the moment, the night, for the week. So I got this moment where I was super lonely. All of a sudden, I have people that was hidden. I was calling my girlfriend. They all kind of knew about each other,
Starting point is 00:13:08 kind of don't ask, don't tell type of thing. But it was just getting too much. And it was more lows than highs and I bailed out. And that's what caused a lot of my anxiety was I was just spreading myself too thin and not giving all my energy to that one thing or that career and that one person so for you your career is your relationship right exactly so i guess i've been in one relationship when you were describing that what and that's great when you were describing
Starting point is 00:13:39 that when you were first going she's like this is like what you know i spent 10 years doing this and it was about you know i thought of that you know like you told me just a few minutes ago, like, hey, just give it time. You guys are in kind of some new stages. And I think that's exactly it. It's like both of us have been married before. And so we kind of know what we, we know what we don't want, right? We've established that. But I think we really don't know what we want if we're looking. Because, I mean, each of us will say that the person that's there is the type of person we're looking for. You know, Meg says, she's like, you're 99.9% my dream guy. And I was like, that's amazing. Like, to have that, like, that's awesome. That's why she's busting your balls. I'm a lazy fuck sometimes, man. I'll be honest about that at the same time
Starting point is 00:14:26 yeah I am recovering from a neck injury a significant one and I'm not recovering anymore I was for the last three months and it's been interesting but
Starting point is 00:14:41 I think we call each other our partners. And to me, that was much more meaningful than a spouse or anything like that. Just because it, the definition of it is in, you know, think of your business partners or even your band, you know, these are your partners in, in your relationship. And so choosing the right partners and choosing the ones that you vibrate the best with, isn't that the goal? And so, you know, I've told Megan, I say this all the time, is that I feel, I really feel like she's my counterpoint. Like there's the things I, she's my check. And I think that the side of it is that she's so much smarter than me and so much further ahead of me that like I'm just playing catch up all the time.
Starting point is 00:15:25 So I just kind of feel like the dumb guy in the corner. Like, check out my girlfriend. She's amazing. Yeah. I don't know. I feel, I hear you out. But I also feel like there's got to be a time for you. You know? If you're always worrying about how to make her happy. there's gotta be a time for, for you, you know,
Starting point is 00:15:45 if you're always worrying about how to make her happy, you know? Well, and I think that's exactly it. No, I mean, no, I, uh, the conversation that her and I had recently, most recently, like minutes before this podcast was about expectations and about her expectations versus what, what she expected to be going on and what I expected, what was actually going on. And they were different things. And she was just coming to terms with the fact that her expectations were often the emotion that that created. And so, um, it's understandable. And, but she was totally honest and said, I'm sorry to
Starting point is 00:16:22 screw up your process and how you're processing this. And that's a really honest, and honestly, I'm thankful for someone who's willing to say that. Like, hey, I'm having a hard time, but I understand you need your process and like those expectations and those things. I really think that we, oh shit, I've forgotten what I was going to say. I'm not even going to try and fake it. Just circling. Yeah, just circling. Know why you're circling? Because you don't want to say what you really want to say.
Starting point is 00:16:59 What do I really want to say? I think you got in a relationship because you're lonely and you got in a relationship because you're lonely and you got in a relationship because you feel like there'd be no one else for you. So when shit like this goes down where you're realizing faults in someone's personality or faults in a relationship, it's either fight or flight. And you're at that point where it's like, is this worth it? Yeah. So is it worth it? Yeah, it is. So what are you doing here? Should go after out after we finished this segment. Yeah. Go find your girl and make her fall in love with you like the way you should, man. Why not?
Starting point is 00:17:49 Why not? You got one life to live. Serious. If this is the girl of your dreams, you better fight for her because someone else will take her and you'll be feeling more shitty than you feel right now Andy Frasco does it again so
Starting point is 00:18:12 while Yeti finds love again listen to this awesome interview that we did with Bird Cloud I met these girls if you don't know anything about Bird Cloud Bird Cloud is this controversial band they are rock and rolls two girls, queens and we also had our homegirl from Thelma and the

They have great lyrics and they're just sweethearts. And the interview was all about just living on the road and doing tour life. Enjoy it. Check it out. Let me know what you think. No. You didn't think at all that maybe that was a thing ever? No.
Starting point is 00:18:57 I thought I was straight Jew. I got some black in me. I wouldn't have guessed that. No, me either. You would have guessed it? I mean, right when I looked at you, I said that guy's half black.
Starting point is 00:19:11 Perfect. I'm okay with it. Yeah. You're pretty. Oh man, you're pretty too. Do you have big cock? No,
Starting point is 00:19:18 that's what I'm saying. I have a small dick. We discussed this last night. Big heart. I was just saying. Love Luther Vandross. Are you, but you're half Jewish, so you're.
Starting point is 00:19:27 Yeah, I'm circumcised for sure, dude. I'm in it. Isn't it cute? Let's smoke some weed. This is your boy, Andy Frasco. We are on the What the Fuck Happened Last Night podcast. And we are with the queens of rock and fucking roll, Nashville, Tennessee. We're in Nashville, Tennessee.
Starting point is 00:19:45 I'm playing at the basement east or basement and I'm with Thumb in the Sleaze and I'm with Bird Cloud. What's up ladies? We're doing a trio. Hey, how are you? So ladies, let's get the elephant out of the room. Yeah, let's. Mack, I think you're in love. I think you're in love with our girl right here. Who, LG? Mac, I think you're in love. I think you're in love with our girl right here. Who, LG?
Starting point is 00:20:06 Hell yeah. Tell me about this. I feel it. I'm feeling the energy. I always try and get her to fuck me, but she won't. I made it very clear to you what the expectation was. We made out real good on a deck in Texas one time. Yeah, tell me about it. And in Denver.
Starting point is 00:20:22 At a goth bar. time yeah and in denver and in denver at a trash can at a goth bar and um but the one in texas was especially good because um lg sober and these girls were trying to get us all fucked up and they asked lg what she wanted to drink and she was like i just want a soda water and me and jazz are like we want shots of tequila and vodka sodas so she comes out holding all these got eight drinks in her fucking hand and hands LG one it's hot it's Texas
Starting point is 00:20:49 LG starts pounding this damn drink it's got vodka in it okay she got a little bit a little bit buzz felt a little bit naughty and finally gave in
Starting point is 00:20:59 to my commands we were we were grinding on this deck outside in Dallas. Fuck yeah. Did you finally get your way, Mac? No, not all the way.
Starting point is 00:21:10 No, she didn't click my mouse. I've tried though, hell. You haven't tried because you know what the expectation is. It's very low. I'm intimidated by her pussy. No, you haven't tried. You red sequins gown, red lobster. That's literally all you've had to do this whole time.
Starting point is 00:21:25 You keep attacking me. You keep telling people you're in love with me. And legitimately, all you've had to do is put on a red sequins, Reaper style gown, slip from cycling up to your hip, and tag me to red lobster for dinner. And that's easy. And I feel like I should be worth at least that. You are worth way more than that. Because I can fist to here. I'm, I should be worth at least that. You are worth
Starting point is 00:21:45 way more than that. Because I can fist to here. I don't want that. To your elbow? It's what they all do. You do. I don't. I don't want my stomach
Starting point is 00:21:52 to be injured. You don't want your stomach to be injured? I do it good. I'm a little deep. I'm thin. I'm a thin, cramped woman right now.
Starting point is 00:21:58 That means you do. Ladies, have you ever done tours together? Have you guys played together before? Yes, we did. And guess what? Sleaze cloud tour.
Starting point is 00:22:08 Sleaze cloud? Let me tell you something. I saw this shit on fucking YouTube the other day, and I was fucking furious because goddamn Shirley Manson from Garbage and fucking Fiona Apple covered the song that we fucking did on tour, but they did it the exact way that we did it. I've been meaning to tell y'all that. It's real goddamn annoying.
Starting point is 00:22:28 So how do you do it? We do it kind of like creepy and like menacing. What's up? You Don't Own Me. They copied it exactly. They turned it into a duet and they made it the exact same way. And the reason why I know is because
Starting point is 00:22:42 I'm friends with a guy who lives with Fiona Apple. And he probably showed her that shit. And she probably copied it. Because famous people don't have any original ideas. They don't. Famous people are constantly copying us. What the fuck? And famous people rip us the goddamn fuck off all the time.
Starting point is 00:22:57 All the time. All the time. Saturday Night Live rips us off. And then when people ask them what their favorite bands are, they're like Cage the Elephant. When's the last time you ripped off Cage the Elephant, dude? This is true, though. I've been seeing this a lot more. Even with stand-up.
Starting point is 00:23:13 You see the bigger stand-up acts are just ripping off all these young dudes. But, you know, I just had an interview with a guy who writes for one of the shows on Comedy Central. And he's like, they have 40 writers and they will buy. You have to like think about everything. You'll send them jokes and jokes and jokes for their monologues. And if they buy it, they'll buy it for 15 bucks. Isn't that fucked up?
Starting point is 00:23:39 And it's like the exposure. Well, all they got to do is look at our Twitter and they get everything for free. I know. Shit, we need to monetize that, ladies. You guys are too fucking funny not to monetize. Well, I'm going to do is look at our Twitter, and they get everything for free. I know. Shit, we need to monetize that, ladies. You guys are too fucking funny not to monetize. Well, I'm going to start calling them out now. They did this news segment that was our last record cover with the tongue sticking out. It was unbelievable.
Starting point is 00:23:56 I was so pissed. I mean, we got ripped off at the Super Bowl, fucking Ariel View, Beyonce, from 2013 or 14, some shit. I don't know, something like that. And it was our first record cover, like two crudely drawn female, like facing each other with like these like fucked up little headdress flame things. And she, I mean, whoever probably came to our show
Starting point is 00:24:22 in Brooklyn and was on cocaine and thought, hell yeah. It's serious, man. It's serious. Fucking bullshit. I hate them. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you.
Starting point is 00:24:30 It's called Trailblazer. Call them Trailblazers. With that being said, though, how hard is it to make a living being in a rock and roll band independently with everyone stealing all your shit all the fucking time? I'll let you go for it, LG. You just got all your shit stolen out of your van. I hear your Instagram. I hear your Instagram. I watch your Instagram all the time. I'm let you go for it, LG. You just got all your shit stolen out of your fan. I hear your Instagram.
Starting point is 00:24:46 I hear your Instagram. I watch your Instagram all the time. I'm a big fan of you, LG. Thank you. And you're funny as fuck. And you have some real shit you talk about too, so. I do.
Starting point is 00:24:53 I try to keep it real. How so? How so? Tell me. Tell me, what do you think? Is it tougher being a woman? I mean, it's just tough for me
Starting point is 00:25:02 because I'm not model pretty. And I feel like if I was model pretty, I would be really successful. But because everybody I know that just starts playing music last year, their records in Rolling Stone, their records in Pace, their records all over the place, and they just started playing last year. But they look like a model. It's fucked up.
Starting point is 00:25:19 Do you think they're even singing, though? And I'm like Lyle Lovett hot. I'm European hot, and I know that. I think you're fucking guys i think you're sexy i have nice arms i have really nice arms you got everything got nice eyes you guys i got two titties um can i have one no no um but yeah, no, it's very hard. But it's, you know, I think it's gratifying because I know that what we do has a longer shelf life.
Starting point is 00:25:53 And I think over time, those people, you'll forget about them and their CDs will be in the dollar bin and like you'll see my goodwill. But like our shit, I think it's forever. You know what I mean? And I think- Timeless. What we've done is created a mythology and a storyline like you'll see my goodwill, but like our shit, I think is forever. You know what I mean? And I think timeless, what we've done is created a mythology and a storyline.
Starting point is 00:26:08 And you could, you've watched us evolve. I mean, if you go on tour with them for two weeks, they raise the bar every single night. You know what I mean? So it's like, to me,
Starting point is 00:26:16 that's more interesting. And to me that has more longevity. And to me, you know, that's why I tell people when they talk about shit I did five years ago it's like I would be so fucking embarrassed
Starting point is 00:26:28 if I kept making the same fucking music for ten fucking years the same fucking way and didn't show any progression or evolve in any way
Starting point is 00:26:36 like that would be so boring so that's that's really the most gratifying thing but yeah it sucks when you fucking spend every last penny you have
Starting point is 00:26:43 on making all this merch because you need to turn it around and make money off it. You got $5 in your bank account and you come out and you're $1,500. Honda Odyssey sliding doors wide open and you're fucking, you know. Yeah, you were talking about that. Your cinnamon tea tree oil toothpicks are everywhere. And you're fucking rummaging through your shit and you're like well they didn't get my boom box but for some fucking bizarre reason these cocksuckers took my t-shirts that already
Starting point is 00:27:11 have me on them like how many they gave you like what they took like 30 of them 80 of them what yeah and i think they're gonna sell them on the black market that's like at least that's at least a grand that's at least a grand that's exactly exactly that to me that was you know and that's at least a grand that's at least a grand that's exactly exactly that to me that was you know and that's what i told my creepers it's not like because it's hard for people if my like guitars were stolen my pedals are stolen like i'm sure like everyone i know would have sent me pedals and amps and guitars but they don't understand that like that's legitimately how i make money like i pay my girls i pay gas. I pay for hotel rooms most of the time. Like, the only money I get to go home with
Starting point is 00:27:46 and fucking, you know, the fumes I live on is fucking merch, you know? Yeah. And it also sucks because I'm way behind on my orders because I do screen
Starting point is 00:27:55 everything myself because it's so much fucking cheaper. I mean, my t-shirts at cost with labor are like $1.20. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, and that's where
Starting point is 00:28:04 you make your money. Yeah, you know? And so, and I also got a good deal on a bunch of shirts for a dollar. So I went ahead and I spent like all my fucking money on them. That is so much. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:28:17 So I was like, oh, I got to take this deal while this deal's sitting here. You know? Yeah. So I fucking bought all these fucking shirts and I screened a bunch of specials. And the deal's gone now because you bought them all up
Starting point is 00:28:26 and the deal fucking is running around on Jefferson Street right now selling them I don't know what the fuck they like maybe they took some fucking
Starting point is 00:28:32 I don't know puffy paint and turned my face into like notorious PIGs and now they're selling them like no these are real
Starting point is 00:28:39 biggie shirts right here dude I think it's another jealous as fuck band some other fucking jealous bitches. That's, you know, typically I'm a very
Starting point is 00:28:47 paranoid person because I do think that Gigi is out to get me. And I don't think she does anything with her fucking time other than harass me. Who's Gigi?
Starting point is 00:28:56 Doesn't matter. She knows who she is. But all I'm saying is, all I'm saying is, I don't think that she did this because Whiskers lives in a gated condo, which is partly why I was like, I don't want to put my fucking shirts in here. I'm going to leave my boom think that she did this because Whiskers lives in a gated condo which is partly why I was like I don't want to put my fucking shirts in here I'm gonna leave my boombox
Starting point is 00:29:08 in here I never leave my guitar my pedals in overnight but yeah I do I do think that she did slip my my fuel line once on my motorcycle and I do stand by that statement because that was a brand new fuel line my motorcycle sat out front of my house I do because I swear to god it was a clean fuel line is yeah it's clear it comes right off the petcock you can't miss it dude that's My motorcycle sat out front of my house. I do because I swear to God, it was a clean. Does she know what a fuel line is? Yeah, it's clear. It comes right off the petcock. You can't miss it, dude.
Starting point is 00:29:30 That's obviously the fuel line. Oh, okay. Well, fucking goddamn, I don't know what a fuel line looks like. I know she did. I know you did it. But sucks for you, bitch. I fixed it. But, you know, I was down on Gallatin Road, you know, idling on a hill like, and all of a sudden, like, smells real like gas. And I looked down and my leg's covered in gas. And I in gas and i was like i got poised your whole ass dude that's crazy yeah i swear
Starting point is 00:29:51 she did that i would put but i don't think that anyone maliciously stole my t-shirts um you know i mean what i mean if you did hats off like maybe they're cold. But it'll get better. I got a shirt I got to show you inside. I bought a 6X t-shirt. Dude. 6X? It's plain right now, but I want to print it. Oh, you bought that for like, is it a tent? I'll show you.
Starting point is 00:30:19 I'll go get it in a minute. Can we all get in it? Yes. Okay, cool. Wait, we can stick our heads. You can be in the middle. We'll stick our heads in the space. And then we'll be a three-headed monster.
Starting point is 00:30:29 It is unbelievable. All the other cuts kiss our fucking asses. I think we should. I would love to see that. That'd be epic. 6X has got to fit. And then we should lay down and pretend that he's Johnny Depp. And be like, baby, baby, come to mama.
Starting point is 00:30:45 Burn the house down. Baby. Burn the house down. Baby, burn the house down. Look at my baby. Look how cute. It's awesome. I think, yeah, I totally agree. I've been an independent musician for 10 years too, and I live off of merchandise.
Starting point is 00:30:58 Yeah. You're not making money off the show money. Well, you know, we're selling custom content now. Yeah. You know, and that's the news. Yeah, tell me about that. Tell me about your Valentine's Day thing. the show money well you know we're selling we're selling custom content now yeah you know and that's tell me about that tell me about your
Starting point is 00:31:07 valentine's day okay so I came up with this idea to fucking make you know song dedications you know whatever song you want
Starting point is 00:31:15 we'll do a minute we'll do 45 seconds of it do like a 15 second like dedication yeah dedication at the end
Starting point is 00:31:22 they're 30 bucks each we've got three more days of taking orders. We've got over 70 of them. That's awesome. Are you fucking serious? Yeah, dude. I fucking love you bitches.
Starting point is 00:31:33 And we sold these Valentine's. We've got all these Valentine's Day cards that are sold out. And so that's, you know, that's like another fucking 750 bucks or something. That's the thing.
Starting point is 00:31:43 You figure out what people want. We don't make good money from Valentine's. People kind of buy our music, but they're more into our videos and shit. So we're like, let's sell our videos. Yeah. Well, how can we monetize the videos? You know, that's like.
Starting point is 00:31:53 Exactly. So it's going to be a huge undertaking. I just, I just did another post about it. You're so smart. I got you, girl. That was my idea. I've got to drop a Jew in me. Jewish people are so smart.
Starting point is 00:32:04 I ain't Jewish, LG. Well, you might as well be. Fucking anyway. So the goal is to get at least 90 of them. I think we can get 90 of them. 100%. Four days? 30.
Starting point is 00:32:16 We got three more days. Three more days. 30 bucks a pop. We should have made them more expensive. Why wait? I mean, I think you should just keep doing it through the year. That's a great merch item. People love personal items. I think that we should Skype parties. I think that if we were like, hey, listen. just keep doing it through the year. That's a great merch item. People love personal items.
Starting point is 00:32:25 I think that we should Skype parties. I think that if we were like, hey, listen, 100 bucks. We'll Skype your party for 30 minutes. Just webcam, girls. It's like holographic Tupac. You are. You're cam girls. We're video chicks.
Starting point is 00:32:38 Bird cam. We're like 80s video stars. We can film anything anywhere. And I think that we should start doing that. Because, I mean, if it's like, hey, we want you to come to our town, but you can't come. Or, like, the show gets canceled or something like that. Anchorage.
Starting point is 00:32:58 We Skype a show. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I totally agree. It's smart. Do a mini version. Just a little taste. I played Topless in the Sombrero on the internet for money, and I made more money in an hour than I made all month.
Starting point is 00:33:10 Oh, yeah. Tell me how that worked. How did you do that? What the fuck? I just said, if you buy Thelma's Sleeves, Candyland Box, in the next hour,
Starting point is 00:33:17 I'll sing you whatever song you want, Topless in the Sombrero. Yeah. I was like, I have no range, dude. Everything. Anything. Journey.
Starting point is 00:33:28 Johnny Cash. Whatever you want. I can go low. I can go high. But that Rod Stewart. Rod Stewart's your sweet spot. Yeah, Rod Stewart is my sweet spot. That's my money spot.
Starting point is 00:33:37 Do it. Give us a taste. Give us some Rod. Do it. Do it. Give us some taste. Got the most persuasive tongue. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:44 To promise all kinds of fun. Do it. Give it some taste. You got the most persuasive tongue. Yeah. You promise all kinds of fun. But what you don't understand is I'm a lesbian. I'm a lesbian. She's got a lot of pussy that way. We're going to cover Southern Girls by Cheap Trick. Are you happy? I'm stoked.
Starting point is 00:34:05 Southern Girls? That song was written about you happy? I'm stoked. Southern Girls? That song was written about us. I think so. Definitely was. That's crazy. I think these are all brilliant ideas. I think the time for being an independent musician or to make money being an independent musician
Starting point is 00:34:18 is probably the easiest out of the whole, I don't know, record labels. You don't really need a record label to make money anymore And that's important. I mean to see all these side hustles, you know It breaks my heart that you can't just make money off music anymore. You have to do all these bullshit things But and as long as long as your your fans believe in who you are the concept and the style It's in yeah, I rather have you know, I'd rather have, you know,
Starting point is 00:34:45 I have like a modest following, but they're all quality. They're all quality fucking people, you know? I can talk about period sex. I can talk about fucking, you know. Andy, I didn't listen to what you just said, but. You said something about the Midwest to me once that I really liked. What?
Starting point is 00:35:07 Pairs of the Plains? No, about how those are your, the fans that will support you when you're nobody. Or what is it you said? Yeah, it's like, I, yeah, those, I had to get the fuck out of LA because they weren't supporting me. I was like, it's this rat race to be someone else when all I wanted to be was myself and you guys are totally individual as well.
Starting point is 00:35:28 So I went to the Midwest and said, fuck it. I'm just going to book myself 2,000 shows and the Midwest were the first people that came
Starting point is 00:35:35 and they still come to my shows, you know, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma. They're the first people that come to your shows
Starting point is 00:35:42 and then when you're nobody at the end, they still come to your shows. Exactly. You know what I mean? They're the first people that come to your shows and then when you're nobody at the end, they still come to your shows. Exactly. You know what I mean? They're kind of like... Even when your star fades, once you get to that plateau
Starting point is 00:35:51 and you have to start walking down the mountain a little bit. Yeah, they're still there. It's not like one of these fucking shithole... Yeah. Like...
Starting point is 00:35:57 Cool guy towns. Yeah, cool guy towns. They don't have anything to do. That's what you want. I know, it's great. It's the best. But don't you have the best experiences in the Midwest and the Southern? Like the shows that you don't expect know. It's great. It's the best. But don't you have the best experiences
Starting point is 00:36:05 in the Midwest and the Southern? Like the shows that you don't expect like when you're in like butt fuck somewhere. It's the same as a night out drinking.

How hard is it to take a break three months and then go back on the road and try to give them a whole brand new show?
Starting point is 00:50:35 Yeah, writing a new show, that's what we're trying to do now. Is it tough? We haven't started it yet. So I guess we haven't spent a lot of time doing anything because we're just so ready to get back out good like you guys we'll do some of that we'll still pull out some of the some of the old tricks out of the hat but but i think i uh stand with everybody i want to know the uh the diapers are coming back the diapers will come back sometime yeah what about the harmonica like that's always gonna be there i love that the harmonica is
Starting point is 00:51:04 crucial you know but it's like anything. Tell the audience what you do if you can. So Mackenzie's so little bitty around that one of those harmonica things that Bob Dylan wears when he plays acoustic fits around her
Starting point is 00:51:20 waist and it fits right in front of her, makes the harmonica part fit right in front of her crotch. My toady. So then I can go down and do a solo on her. We can both keep playing our instruments. We wear these headset mics. Your bass looks like you're eating her out.
Starting point is 00:51:36 It looks like she's, no, no, no. Not eating out because I don't know any woman that likes to be eating out standing up. LG, do you? Well, but no, it looks like she's sucking my dick. Or, you know what? I don't actually.
Starting point is 00:51:50 So if also please contact me through www.thelmins.com. Slide into her DMs. Slide into her DMs on Instagram. Any way you want it, honey. Any way. But so anyway, it's just meant to be like,
Starting point is 00:52:01 you know, vulgar, sexy, stupid, funny, like ridiculous. But maybe it's the same with you like like you just you do your tricks every night and when you play so many shows i mean we were on tour like seven months last year yeah and anything becomes pornographic and it's in repetition but when what you're actually doing is pornographic then you're like what the fuck is going on like i'll go but it's different. Every night, because it's so based on our chemistry, our show is fun to me every
Starting point is 00:52:29 night. The rigmarole of tour can be so fucking exhausting. Excuse me, did you just say the word rigmarole? She just said wigger. She just said wigger. The wigger of tour. The cornucopia of tour.
Starting point is 00:52:46 That part's what's exhausting but like the hour and a half that we're on stage is so rad and then when I get down on my knees to like blow her every night
Starting point is 00:52:53 like it's that trick is different every single night and it's so fun depending on how tangled up we are in the cords what outfits we've got on
Starting point is 00:53:00 what the stage looks like how wet the stage is I mean one time in Atlanta when we were playing with Thelma, we were- What were y'all playing at?
Starting point is 00:53:09 Swiss? No, we played at this- Hot dog party. We played at this hot dog party in this barber salon. Oh,
Starting point is 00:53:14 God. Hot dog hair salon. And we were rolling around- They paid us though. They did pay us. We were rolling around in goddamn Depends diapers,
Starting point is 00:53:23 topless, covered in vodka, mud. Like like there's like hair on the floor mud on the floor and vodka on the floor and i'm so poor i couldn't get my goddamn boots fucking resold so my feet were fucking disgusting and ruined for days and me and jazz are mud wrestling in diapers on the floor and she's blowing on my crotch and it was just people standing around you. Unbelievable party.
Starting point is 00:53:49 It was a cock fight. Yeah. So that, the old tricks never feel like old tricks. Sometimes like when I get down there I'll look up at Matt
Starting point is 00:53:55 like here we go again. But then once we get going it's like always chaos. It's always funny. Everybody loses it and it's so fun. I can totally. You got a bit?
Starting point is 00:54:05 No, I'm just saying I concur with everything you said. I've seen them at least a thousand times. Legitimately, every time. I am embarrassed because I'll stand there, and I'll literally watch the whole time. Like, you know, that's embarrassing. I've seen them so much, but I know that that's the
Starting point is 00:54:25 great thing about a true performance in in rock and roll is like you are going to take it to the point of chaos where you don't even know what's going to happen and you just ride it out and you you stick it through and watching them do that is so exciting and they do things all the time that I'm always like what the the fuck? You know? Totally. So it's. I love it. Yeah. It's like when watching is never.
Starting point is 00:54:52 Even when I was their merch girl, people were looking at me like, are you going to balance with them like forever? And I'm already like, no, I know. It's so good. They're so good. You know? It's a show. It's a different show. My favorite thing is when she yells at invisible people on stage.
Starting point is 00:55:03 Because now that I know that's what she's doing, it makes it even better for me. Because the first night she did it in Baton Rouge, I was like, all right, come on, bitch. Come at me. Come at me. Who wears this bit? And Jasmine came on stage. I was like, who's fucking McKenzie on stage? She's like, let's go handle it.
Starting point is 00:55:18 And Jasmine's like, there's nobody out there. And I was like, what? Because she was like on stage. She was like on stage. And everybody was like, what? Cause she was like on stage, she was like on stage, like, and everybody was super uncomfortable. She was, everybody was like, what's your goddamn problem bitch? Yeah, you were like, your boyfriend's gay.
Starting point is 00:55:34 That was my favorite thing. And I was like, who the fuck is this? Yeah, I'm like, I'm like, what's your goddamn problem? You know what I mean? And they were just like, I'm like, I'm like, we're gonna have to take this up after the show. I'm like, security?
Starting point is 00:55:47 Is there anybody in here that does security? What the fuck? I'm like, we're two naked women on stage. Are you going to help or what? That's what the great thing about it is, though. It's like you can have your expectations for whatever a cloud show it's going to be. You can set the stage the same way every single night. But it's like a monster truck rally. Like, something's going to be. You can set the stage the same way every single night, but it's like a monster truck rally.
Starting point is 00:56:07 Something's going to go wrong, and that's what you're waiting for. It's like NASCAR cars drive 500 laps in the same circle, but you're just waiting for them for something to explode and something to happen that you just weren't expecting. And it always does. When are y'all going to record Leather Nights, man? It's happening.
Starting point is 00:56:23 That's my fucking jam. That's my sexy song. I've been putting my lines out. I'm ready to sell out. www.fellasleaf.com I'm ready to sell out and go down where you're standing up. Hell yeah. But no, it's going to be on my new record,
Starting point is 00:56:38 Bras and Blazers. Which literally, I feel like. Look, I'm going to broaden the blazer. What do you think? Like it? All right, ladies. I've got one I'm a broad and a blazer. What do you think? Like it? Like it? All right, Lea, I just got one last question. I'll let you go.
