I'd rather be a big kid than a young adult.
Cool, here's some more cum songs. I have to release all the cum, all the cum inside of me
I've been unable to cum on time
My dreams are the only thing keeping my dick alive
Oh, baby, it rips the cum from my sack
Whether it's nighttime or during a nap that's in the sun
My pants are up, baby, we were born to come
Baby, we were born to come
Alright, and we're live.
Andy Frasco's World Saving Podcast.
I'm Andy Frasco.
How's our heads doing?
How's our hearts?
Are we not letting the low dopamine of Jam Cruise just fuck us?
Jesus Christ.
What a week.
What a fucking week. God
damn it. This is
this is
I love it so much.
I'm in the hotel
airport on my way back to Denver. It's
Monday, day after Jam Cruise. I got to
get this
opening done before
I get on my flight so I can
edit this podcast so it can be done by the release date tomorrow.
But God damn it.
Dopamine at its lowest right now.
Woo.
And when you have low dopamine, you get sad.
You forget all the good times
because you just totally trashed your body and depleted it.
But it was one of the most magical, uh, weeks of my existence.
And, um, shout out to all the birthday love. That was amazing. I, uh, I appreciate it.
You know, 35 is, you know, it's a boring ass birthday with 35. What are we celebrating at 35?
And you made me feel special and, um, on boat even off the boat you guys sent me all the love
and I really
appreciate
how much you guys care about me
because you know how much I care about you
and vice versa
so it just made me feel good
I will say one thing though
I will not tell people it's my birthday
next time I go on a trip because it just felt like I was just being obnoxious's my birthday. Um, next time I go on a trip, cause it just felt like I was just
being obnoxious with my birthday. Like everyone's like, Oh, it's almost your birthday. It's almost
your birthday. And I just, I don't like the, I don't like the attention like that. You know,
you're like, Oh, frasco. Of course you like the attention. You're out there at the fucking
festivals, just, you know, kissing babies and shit. But, no, I don't like the attention of a birthday.
Or I don't like, I like to, you know, impromptu show up and let's get some love and peace the fuck out.
The problem with these jam cruises is you're on a boat in the middle of the ocean.
You can't run away.
You could just run back and forth from the boat.
On one side of the boat to the other.
You're going to see the same people.
back and forth from the boat on one side of the boat to the other.
You're going to see the same people.
And I just, I didn't want,
I didn't want the boat to be just my birthday party.
And I know it wasn't, but, you know, I just want,
I just want to be part of the experience too and not just take that shit over. But we did fucking take that shit over and it was awesome.
Shout out to the band for playing so awesome. Shout out to, uh,
the band for playing so great. Shout out to all my friends. God, there were so many.
We'll go over this more in depth when I get, when I see Nick tomorrow or this week and we
just do a deep dive into it. But man, it's a lot, it's a, it's a lot of, it's a lot of alcohol,
a lot of drugs, a lot of, I love you mans at 5 o'clock in the morning.
A lot of, you know, the food kind of trend.
Always those cruises are shitty food.
I got to give it out to Virgin Voyages when I did that influencer gig in Spain.
The food was pretty good there, but cruise food's not that good.
So I just ate pizza all day.
So it was just like Low dopamine
And just carb depression
You know what I'm saying?
Like when you get sad
And you eat a whole fucking pizza
You're like god damn it
I'm sad now boy
Kind of how I felt in the mornings
And then I had a you know
Vodka soda or something
Or a shot
And I'm like I'm back
And yeah what not
But it was good to see all the homies,
dogs in a pile killed it, Umphreys killed, oh, man, felt like that was my,
that was the best Umphreys set I've ever seen of them, actually, you know, and they had Kanika
on there, and, God, Kanika, fucking more, I love with her. Um, just as a person, you know,
fuck, maybe she is my soulmate. I have no idea. I'm so fucked up with, with a relationship right
now. I'm like, kind of like heart. Uh, let's not talk about that. We'll wait for Nick to, uh,
slap me out of it. But, um, and I was just like, what the fuck? I was just in my head.
And I realized when you're in your head, you're not living present.
And it took jam crews and me getting off my phone
and fucking just being part with my friends
and going out and listening to music and remembering what it's all about.
And that is experiences with your friends and family, laughing together, sharing dinners, sharing love.
You know, we could put any narrative we want of what type of person we are in our head.
than we are in our head.
But when it comes down to it,
what the most important thing is is who you spend your time with
and what you do with your time.
So we could be deep in our heads
and then forget,
oh yeah, I forgot that I'm with my friends right now.
And what's that going to do?
Make you more and more lonely. Get out there, go hang out
with some people, go out there, do things you want to do. And don't let your brain stop you
from fucking doing it. Okay? Good. Because we're going to have a great week this week. We got Taboo
and Jeremy Salkin on the show. I'm getting deep in the, in EDM, or he didn't like me calling it
EDM, but I'm getting deep in the, uh, the producer
world. I want to know these guys. I want to know what the scene's about. And I think you're going
to love this guy. This guy has a podcast too. Taboo is fucking great. And, uh, Jeremy Sulkin
took me out to him, um, took me out to meet him in, uh, where do you meet? Oh, he took us out to
lunch. It was like kind of like a date, like a man date, right? Kind of checked each other out. Like what you
got going on? He's like, what you got going on? It was kind of like a, you know, two bulls
smashing their legs or whatever. And it turned out this guy's funny as hell and he's smart and he's,
he loves all the same things. I, comedy, music, just connecting people.
And it turned out to be a fun interview.
You know, he's fucking hilarious.
It's dirtier than, you know.
I was even taken back by some of the dirtiness he was talking about.
I'm like, oh, fuck.
And like, I met my match and I love it.
So it gets dirty.
We started egging on on the dirtiness.
You're going to love this interview. What else is going is going on? Oh yeah. Dialed in gummies. This
episode is presented by dialed in gummies. Go grab yourself some dialed in gummies. They
definitely helped me when I was strung out on this jam cruise. Holy shit. I need a dial
in gummies in the morning when my hangover was just kicking in. Because the problem with jam cruises, the music is 24 hours.
And you're like, oh, I'm so tired.
I'm so tired.
At like, you know, say 1 a.m.
You're like, all right, let me just go to one more show.
And then that show lasts four hours.
And all of a sudden, 6 a.m., you're seeing the fucking sunset again.
You know, I puked a couple times on it.
You know, just, I don't like the shakes.
Sometimes if I lay down in bed,
if I start like shaking or not shaking,
but like, you know, getting,
I might just take the demons out
and get back to business.
So yeah, 6 a.m.
I'd pop a dialed in gummies.
I'd sleep.
I'd do good and get back at it for the next day.
But go grab yourself some dialed inin gummies in the Denver area.
What a promo.
See, this is real-life promotion.
I am letting you know that dialed-in gummies has helped me with that love.
So grab yourself some dialed-in gummies if you're in the Denver area.
And I think there's still a couple world-saving batches of the dialed-in gummies
around Denver.
Maybe Kush Club in Denver.
Go grab yourself one.
They're good.
They're grape and lemon.
And they're Laker colors and whatnot.
I think you're going to really love that flavor
if you haven't got them.
But I think they're like sold out.
But I don't know.
Look for them.
It'd be fun.
Like a little scavenger, Frasco scavenger hunt. And then also who's still on board with us is repsy.com.

It doesn't hurt.
It doesn't help.
It doesn't hurt because you can sign your band up
and why not have your agent help you
With some extra love
I was just talking to a couple bands
And they're saying their agents
It's been hard to get holds this year
You know
This is like year three out of the pandemic
Or year two out of the pandemic
And now it's sink or swim with people's careers
So these agents are in fucking survival mode
To get their band some dates
So
Why not get yourself some more help?
So sign in for Repsy.com.
Sorry, I got acid reflux a little bit.
Took an Alka-Seltzer to kind of calm down the demons in my stomach.
And it helped a little bit.
Okay.
Okay, guys.
Repsy.com.
Dialed in gummies.
It helped a little bit.
Okay, guys.
Repsy.com.
Dial it in gummies.
Next week, we're going to tell you all about the big... We just signed a deal with this big company
that's going to be running a lot of the podcasts.
And we'll talk about that a little bit more next week
because that'll be the first week.
But it's huge.
And your boys are doing big things.
So thanks for all the support.
Thanks for fucking getting us to this next level of the
podcast. I appreciate it. All right, guys, stay happy. Stay inspired. Don't let the demons get
you down because it's going to happen. If you deplete your dopamine, if you deplete your
serotonin or whatever stuff that makes you happy, of course,
you're going to be sad. Realize you got to refresh. Like I drank so much water today. I went to bed.
Everyone was partying for the Superbowl. I was like, I, I, I stayed in, you'd be so proud of me.
I stayed in bed all fucking day from 2 PM until 11 AM. I was in bed. You know, I felt bad for the Eagles.
I was a little stranger to their Eagle fans, and they lost last second.
But, you know, living in Kansas City, I was happy for both teams.
So let's go.
Good job, Chiefs.
Way to get it.
But take care of yourselves.
You know when it's time to throw the towel in and go to bed, you know?
You're not invincible, and that's okay.
You don't need to party.
If your body is telling you, hey, take a break, then take a break.
And if you have serious addictions and you feel like your brain won't let you take a break, find a little help.
It's okay to be vulnerable a little bit and get some help.
Got an addiction problem?
Go talk to somebody. Got bad anxiety?
Go talk to a doctor. Go talk to a therapist. It's okay to find help. We find help when we break legs. We find help when we hurt ourselves at whatever you're doing, you know, might as well help your brain out. Might as well get
that help so we can keep going just in case there's aliens. We want to go see,
man. I truly hope that was scary yesterday with all those aliens. So I was like kind of scared.
I was nervous. And, um, you know, but I was also low depression, and it was just a bunch of shit. So what can you do?
Find help if you need it.
All right, guys.
Enjoy Taboo.
And I will catch you on the tail end.
That's fucking good.
Is it offensive to call you guys EDM music?
I mean, it offends me to say EDM. It offends me when you look at me too long.
Don't make eye contact.
If you breathe around me, it's offensive. This this is my safe space, dude. So don't
call me an EDM guy.
But you can call him a DJ.
I'll call you a DJ.
That's the most offensive.
We got a big, big show. Jeremy Salkin. Hello. Welcome back. Always.

with Turo because the rental car, fuck Turo sponsors. What are you doing? I know, but

dude, yesterday, uh, you know, my girl, she asked, how was it with Andy Frasco?
And you're excited about that.

I also messaged her that.
I found her online and messaged her.
Yeah, I was like, he wasn't even there, bro.
I'm just talking.
He's just ignoring me.
It's like, it's like, how's it how I do to her?
It's like talking about your mother and your past.
And I'm just not I'm just texting Turo. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Mm hmm. Oh. It's weird. It's like talking about your mother and your past and I'm just texting Turo.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, that's crazy. How many times did you
say that? Oh, that's crazy.
Seven times.
It's been like, I've wanted to introduce
you guys for a while since I met
Mitch and we did his podcast. I was like,

I want to look into it, bro.
I probably should.
The interesting, dude.
We had to do a project in school.
My last name's Draper.
We had to do a project where our names came from and I just made it up.
And they're not going to fucking look up
where our names came from.
So I made the best story.
I got it at 100, dude.
I said we made drapes for the kings and queens of England.
Not for the fucking common folk, but we did it for royalty and then and then we became pirates and then we were
stealing people shit things up and one of them fell in love and then moved to the new land and
then slaughtered a bunch of you know people oh america the story of america yeah all right let's
go we love to hear it the dra Drapers, the original Americans.
Mitchell Lee Draper.
I mean, if you, like, I did a 21 or 23 in me, and I am 100% full-blood American.
Really?
Yeah.
Do you have a little incest in you?
But not native.
I'm sure, actually, dude, I'm pretty positive I do, because, like.
What, incest?
Yeah, so we used to go to these family reunions and uh oh god where was this place in
bumfuck mississippi dude uh edinburgh mississippi and we had a family reunion once a year in this
big white church and i'm talking about everything from your first cousin to like your sixth dude
and like motherfuckers be hitting on my sister is she hot yeah dude my sister's fine as yeah i i know what i i you know i'll story time
it a little bit i had a crush on my second cousin whoa dude i my step cousin really wow what a
start to a podcast gotta get in the hard drive sometime though hold on did you grow up rich or
poor poor how poor um
we didn't really know that we were poor you know what i mean like my mom she worked three jobs
just to make sure that like you know my my me and my siblings could do our extra curriculars if we
wanted to and uh curricula sorry and uh if we wanted to do those we could so you know we had
everything that we needed but like we definitely like like if we got it if those, we could. So, you know, we had everything that we needed, but, like, we definitely, like,
if my mom got, like, a ticket or, like, you know, something broke, we were kind of fucked.
Right.
Where was your dad?
My dad, he was there, but not really.
You know what I mean?
Like, I'd go see him.
Me and my dad, you know, we'd go to deer camp on the weekends.
We're both big hunters.
And, you know, he didn didn't fucking he wasn't really
there he never asked me how i'm doing but like i'd go hang out and we didn't talk about none of
that shit dude he wanted to get away from his wife at that time and i just wanted to fucking just
escape everything out so we're just chilling bro what what were you escaping just like you know
school oh you weren't you didn't like school hell no man that shit was stressing me out
what else did you have friends or were you a loner?
Dude, you don't think I have friends?
I don't know.
You have a mullet now.
I bet you have a ton of friends.
It is weird how like growing up,
this was like frowned upon in like most places.
But now like this gets you laid.
I know.
It's weird.
I was super insecure of my afro.
I kept it short my whole life because everyone was making fun of my curly hair.
And then the minute I grew it out when I was 19, people wanted to hang out.
Yeah.
It's fucking weird how that happened.
Why do we have these?
We build these insecurities in our heads early on that we just keep, that we forget that,
oh yeah, we're adults.
We don't need to be insecure about that anymore.
Right.
What made you cool like in high school, like you're an adult don't fucking matter like i
had friends but i wasn't like a you know i was cool with everybody but i wasn't like a cool kid
i was a punk rocker dude just fucking yeah i was doing the same shit then as i am now just i'm in
different music i was always the kid at school handing out flyers to try to come see my bands
and shows i was throwing and just you know all this different how many songs in your
punk rock career talked about the resentment of your father none actually dude really i don't
think so i don't resent my father at all i love him very much you know he just could have helped
out a little bit more you know yeah oh so he was around he didn't like ditch the family no man i
mean no he was he was around but he won't he wasn't you know what i nah, he was around, but he won't. He wasn't. You know what I mean? Like, he was,
you know, we'd hang out and go hunt, but like, you know, it'd have been cool to like get a call
and say like, how are you doing? You don't need any help with anything or like help my mom out
every now and then, you know? Were they together? Did they like divorce at some point? Yeah, dude.
They were like five when they got a divorce, bro. Oh, so you're way young. So you didn't really
feel the... No, it might have fucked up my older brother,
but, you know, it did fine with me.
And it fucked up my sister probably,
but it didn't affect me, dude.
Do you remember your first memory?
You?
Yeah, and it's fucked up, dude.
I don't know if I want to tell this story.
I actually fuck it.
Tell me.
Yeah, dude.
My dad used to say,
I'm helping your mom screw in a light bulb
and they were fucking how old are you it wasn't that far off like three dude three yeah something
like that maybe you know you remember that that's what's crazy that's my first memory i'm trying to
remember like when i remember actually not i uh i take it back you know they say that you remember
like traumatic events dude my
mom left me in the car i was in a car seat dude i was young as hell and uh it was a hot
day in mississippi and she left me in the back bro for wild i'm really burning up my sister
and her friends were outside playing i'm screaming they finally came and got me that's my first
memory why do we always remember the most traumatic things?
Like, we don't remember
like the good things first.
Well, it's like,
I mean, it's like nowadays.
Like, people can tell you
a hundred nice things
about your new song,
but that one person's like,
this shit sucks.
You're fucking gay.
Eat that fucking,
that sticks to you.
Yeah.
Right.
It's so weird how different
you guys are
from only being
a couple states away.
Because Virginia's the south too.
It's pretty far.
It's the most northern southern
zone. But there's definitely
like rednecks there.
Is it above the Dixieland or below?
It's the first one I think below it.
Okay, where? Richmond was the capital
of the south. Yeah, it was the capital.
But yeah,
I grew up in the suburbs of
Richmond, but it wasn't. But I was also in like the suburbs of Yeah Of Richmond
But it wasn't
But I was also in punk rock bands
And played drums
Yeah
God, that's so similar too
Yeah
Mississippi Rednecks
Because you were a drummer too, right?
Mm-hmm
Oh my God
What's your first memory, Jay?
I mean, I don't
Yeah, I don't
I don't have anything
I do remember going to Epcot
In Disney World
When I was like really young
But I don't remember
Yeah, I think that's my first memory too Going to Disney? Going to Disneyland That's a sick first memory i do remember going to epcot in disney world when i was like really young but i don't remember
yeah i think that's my first memory too i went to disney going to disneyland
my dad used to tell us every year if we were good he was going to take us to disney world
that never took you and we would be good dude he lied he would just lie he would say if you're good son we'll take you to disney world next year
still hadn't paid up bro wow yeah that's amazing like a big corporation close with him
now do you still talk to him now i talk to him more now uh see all that stuff would piss me
off how did that not piss you off and have resentment i'm good at letting go bro like
i don't know yeah not that's none i mean my dad's he's you know his dad was a shit like a terrible dude so like
he didn't have much to go off of you know and i actually lucked out of of it because i'm very
fortunate i have two dads like not in a gay way but like uh my mom remarried to my stepdad and
he's like a second father to me dude like i love him literally just as much as my own dad and you
know he's taught me so much and you know really you know i took the best of what my dad could teach me and what my stepdad could teach me so it was
like the best situation i could have had bro like blessings in disguise yeah it's kind of nice to
having four teachers instead of two because like i don't know when parents some parents this might
be the first time they've had a kid so they're gonna fuck up with you more than gonna fuck up
with your sister or your brother
but this is wild to me okay so i'm always so curious there's a lot of guys
um who are into heavy music and then go into dance music like skrillex i used to book his band from first to last what are the similarities do you guys see in heavy music and dance music?
So I remember seeing, I think it was Dat Sick at Buku Fest in 2014.
It was my first ever festival or dance music show I'd ever been to.
I remember listening to them and I was just almost headbanging and shit.
I'm like, dude, this is metal. It's like metal but like with different sounds like this is cool as
you know one of the reasons i loved metal so much was like the energy in it and how it made
me feel i'm like want to throw down right and i think that's what like you know dubstep really
like grasped me i was like dude this is like heavy and like energetic like i want to kill
somebody right yeah sick what
about you jake i mean that's definitely the connection for sure is that same like
kind of tempo and head banging aspect is because of that tempo like
you can go between literally dubstep and like whether it's hardcore music or heavy metal or
whatever it still it fits in that same vibe and it does make you like want to you know i'm i was
too small to jump in a mosh pit when i was a kid i stayed far away from that and the people are
hotter but it's crazy people are hotter at edm shows for sure like but uh but hotter. But it's crazy. People are hotter at EDM shows, for sure.
But yeah, I mean, it's the same.
It's such a similar vibe, especially with dubstep.
Like not all EDM, obviously like house music and stuff like that are like way off. But specifically dubstep, it's like, it's right there.
The connection is like, it's there.
And it's crazy because like I used like like the heaviest of metal bands but i never really liked like heavy aggressive dubstep never got into it
what really got me into it was like the trap vibes like right where flosher domus was coming up yeah
and um like because i grew up on like southern like you know south southern hip-hop and like
that so i was like well this is cool as but also i'm a metalhead so i can appreciate a live
setting for like the heavy
Dubstep type stuff
But like
Yeah the thing
That got me involved
Was really that
You know
It was the A's
A's
In the background
Of this trap beat
Dude it was fucking cool dude
It was dope
I just remember
Dancing my ass off
And I was like
I love this
How hard was it
To learn
Like transition
Into learning
The program
To learn your songs
Write your songs Vers write your songs versus
doing it acoustically with drums and being in a band like that?
I wouldn't say it was hard because I fell in love with it, right?
You started with Ableton?
Yeah.
I feel like things are hard when you're not fucking loving it, right?
So like I loved the whole process.
You know, the whole process of just starting over and relearning.
Like it,
it obviously was challenging,
but it never felt hard because I was fully into it and fully dedicated.
Like I became obsessed with it.
And still to this day,
dude,
like I just,
I love doing it.
And I can sit in front of a computer for 12,
14 hours and just zone everything out.
Not right.
And it flies by man.
It's just fun as fuck,
but obviously it's challenging learning stuff like that. Cause there a lot to it you'll never learn everything it's impossible
to learn everything but um but if you really love it like it ain't hard you know what i mean it's
just a new obstacle you got to do yeah it's pretty wild to me so when you're thinking about evolving
what do you think about um you know i don't believe in evolution i believe in jesus
christ hell yeah this is america andy you went over there my guy is american as american can be
let's go selling the dream yeah what do you mean like evolving like as an artist as an artist like
what do you think about do you just do it or do you are you really focused on changing things up
all the every year i think about it all
the time dude like you know i just did my album blue collar bass and um that's cool yeah it's
fun time by the people for the people and um i just did that album and so like you know i i have
to i feel like whenever you write a record you know writing like you just drop in singles or
like a fun idea of like an ep or whatever like you can really just i feel like, you just drop in singles or, like, a fun idea of, like, an EP or whatever. Like, you can really just, I feel like it's just, you know, put out bangers or whatever.
But I feel like with an album, you really want to take whatever you've done to that next level.
Almost reinvent your, like, reinvent the wheel, but it's, like, the same wheel.
Maybe, like, some new rims, you know what I mean?
Yeah, yeah.
But, yeah, dude, I think about that all the fucking time, you know.
Something I talk about with my team, you know, how can we take it to the next level?
How can we make it more fun?
How can we make the music better?
Who can we work with that would fit the vibe or would be cool to, you know, write a track with?
So yeah, I mean, I think about that.
You know, it keeps me up at night, dude.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know, it's like Jeremy, we had this conversation.
Like, you throw these fucking bangers at red rocks, these 3d things like
this most epic fucking show. And then like you have to do, you have to top that next
year. Yeah. It's fucked up. I can see you're saying
you're saying you're saying you're saying you're saying you're saying you're saying
you're saying you're saying you're saying you're saying you're saying you're saying
you're saying you're saying you're saying you're saying you're saying you're saying
you're saying you're saying you're saying you're saying you're saying you're saying
you're saying you're saying you're saying you're saying you're saying you're saying
you're saying you're saying you're saying you're saying you're saying you're saying you're saying you're saying you're saying you're saying you're saying you're saying you're saying you're saying you're saying you're saying you're saying you're saying you're saying you're saying you're saying you're saying you're saying you're saying Don't be successful, guys. You don't have to worry about it as much. That's been my strategy the whole time.
You've been crushing it, Nick.
I'm crushing that, dude.
You're crushing.
At some point, y'all just aren't going to make money doing Red Rocks because all your money is going to production.
Yeah, we haven't.
The last five years, you mean?
God, how do you do that?
The first year that we did it
and we had these crazy projectors.
At the time, we projected on the rocks, which people hadn't done.
But just figuring that out.
And that was...
At the time, we were like, how much does it cost?
Shit.
After the first two years, I was going around joking like,
we should skip the projector, skip lights,
and just confetti blast 20 grand into the crowd each night and we would
save money yeah and we'd be giving money back to people yeah i'll go to that show i was like
let's just skip it and just blast money out throughout the night it'll save money doing that
it only falls in the vip the rich people yeah it flows back on stage It's like windy or whatever. Sound more Jewish.
No, but it's so funny.
And now we're going to create our own country.
It's just silly.
But yeah, it's only gotten crazier from there.
And 3D was like, it was so fun to be able to do that.
And the reaction of the fans when we dropped the first tracks that were 3D and the first videos, because we couldn't...
I don't know what's happening back there. The show's not for me. because we couldn't... I don't know what's happening back there.
The show's not for me.
I don't know what's going on.
Literally, I have no clue. And then people are like,
whoa! And I turn around and there's like
something's fucking...
An astronaut is like reaching
out over us or whatever.
And that
is 100% worth
it in the experience. Do you get to watch the show before it's programmed?
Sometimes, but in that case, they were literally like,
they had to put the servers for like all the video content.
It was still like rendering out all these videos,
which take hours and hours when they're that 10, 15 gigabyte videos.
And they put them in a box truck
and had to have a power supply.
What do you call it?
Like a...
Oh, my God.
A damn generator?
Generator.
They had to have a generator
to keep the computers going
to drive from the rehearsal place to Red Rocks
so they could render out videos
to put them in time.
I mean, it was like...
That sounds so stressful.
Yeah.
Low cost.
But I didn't actually know that until like after.
Then you got to buy all those glasses.
Glasses.
Glasses aren't cheap.
We still got some because we had to cancel the 3D tour because of COVID.
If anybody wants some 3D glasses, we got them.
For Avatar.
Okay.
First time you do 3D.
First time you do it. You're like, oh my god,
this is the most brilliant idea. Then the show's
over. Then you think
about next year.
You have a little diarrhea like, fuck, what am I
going to do? Drones, dude.
We talked about the drones. Drones are
so expensive and you can't like...
If people are up close, they
kind of can't see them. And then it's like,
you know, some of the just figures that they're making,
which if you want the real shit,
you need like hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of drones.
And that's like 50 G's on it.
Oh my God.
Midget strippers.
Midget strippers.
Yeah.
Like wrestling back in the day.
The next level for big G.
We've got strippers.
We've got midget strippers.
I looked into it.
Really?
Yeah.
Vasco had a stripper at his New Year's show.
I had a stripper at his New Year's show.
I had one girl who was a fetish.
She sits on cakes.
And the cake went inside her.
You had a male stripper at your birthday party?
You guys don't even know how alike you are.
It's fucked up.
I had a male stripper last year for my birthday.
That was a surprise.
I tried to do it at my Cervantes show last year.
I tried to fucking bring male strippers and mid show last year. I tried to fucking bring male
strippers and midget strippers, but I just, it just wasn't in the budget. How much, how
much are strippers? 1600 flat is like the, for like any private stuff. You know what
I mean? Stripper male, good stripper. No dude. I want nasty. You know, they wanted 1600.
That's like the, that's the, that's the, I mean, how much was our guy per, per,
per stripper? 1600. It was like two 50.
Speaker 2 and he drove to Boulder. That was the funniest shit in a snowstorm. That was
the funniest shit ever. He had no idea. And like a cut, he was dressed as a cop, right?
During the, and he came out on stage. Yeah. They're stopping the pushing, pushing the security guard. He had no idea. And like he was just as a cop, right? During the show. And he came out on stage. Yeah. They're stopping the pushing the security guard.
He fell for it first. I did. And also I saw SWAT team. I'm like, oh, it's a fucking stripper, dude.
SWAT teams coming to Boulder, Colorado. It was brilliant.
Dude. Yeah. We were trying to buy my buddy a stripper for his bachelor party last year,
dude. And we were in damn
Dustin Florida and the base price for that fucking $2,500 for private shoes Man, I mean I could have went on back pages and made it a lot cheaper do but you get some sketchy ass shit back
You know, yeah, I remember my 18th birthday my parents know my friends 18th birthday
but my parents let me have a party for him at the house and
We hired a stripper.
And I had to talk to the pimp or whatever.
It's like, he knew we're all under age 17, 18.
So they took all our money.
And she's like 500 bucks and you can put a candle in me.
And this is in my living room.
And like, she's putting a candle in her vagina.
And it's like, there's like wax going everywhere.
And my parents are upstairs.
Lit candle.
My parents are upstairs. Like, well, you can have your party.
My mom's oblivious.
She thought it was just like a little like stripper thing,
like teaser with like a little lingerie thing.
It wasn't this fucking candle and vagina type stuff.
And my dad keep walking downstairs and just checking on us like, hell yeah.
And then my friend walked up to, she was close to my mom.
And he's like, you can't believe what's going on down there
my mom walked
Party over
It was in she was in the living room and like, you know next to baby pictures of me in the living room and stuff
and she's like
And then my dad's like everyone's got a a gun. The stripper, like after two minutes, already took our 600, 700 bucks.
Yeah.
Just like perfect.
I got it.
Let's go.
I'll get out of here.
Dude, you ever go to a strip club with your dad?
No, I've never, but I can't, I can't fuck with strip clubs.
Oh really?
You like, you went with your pops?
Hell yeah, man.
So, uh, you know, in Mississippi, the legal age to go into a strip club 21
so my dad left parental supervision so this is hilarious so my dad my dad moved
out of Mississippi like you know when I was like 16 or something like that
moved to Arkansas yeah and I get a text one night and he's like what are you
doing I'm like I'm showing up the house he's like well'm up at Danny's, which is the strip club in Jackson.
And I was like, you're fucking in town and didn't call me.
He's like, I'm calling you right now.
I'm like, true.
And he's like, come up here.
And I'm like, I'm 18.
I can't get in.
He said, I know everyone up here.
We're good.
Show enough, dude.
Like fucking Drapers.
Is this your son?
Like, you know, he's fucking cool.
But me and my dad, dude, he was like, watch son.
Just watch me, man. If you throw him enough money, they'll play with their pussy. your son like you know he might get cool but me and my dad dude he was like watch son just watch
me man if you throw him enough money they'll play with their pussy and sure enough dude he just
stood up there dude she started playing with that thing for him and that was an experience dude i
could say i did that with my dad and it was chill it wasn't weird at all no it was cool yeah like
you know stuff like that ain't weird like me and my brother came to the conclusion that we would do a threesome together and it wouldn't be weird
you and your bro yeah we'd smash down on a we came to that conclusion a couple years back
like stuff like that where it's like you take the family out of it for a second and you're just boys
this is like that's what it felt like me and my dad and me and my brother if we the
it'd just be you know boys smashing what like, would you allow your brother to have sex with your girlfriend?
Hell no, dude.
I thought fuck is wrong.
What is wrong with you, dude?
Moral.
God.
Here we go.
All of these scenarios are if I was single, dude.
What does your girlfriend think of you?
She hates me, man.
Yeah?
Nah, she thinks it's cool.
I mean, what does she think of me, man?
I think she thinks I'm cool, man. I think she thinks I'm funny. You're a nice guy. You can tell. You're just what does she think of me, man? I think she thinks I'm cool, man.
I think she thinks I'm funny.
You're a nice guy.
You could tell.
You're just joking around a lot of the time, right?
Oh, yeah.
All I do is joke.
I can't help it.
You know, that would be the thing that she might not like.
Sometimes she wants me to be some serious, but I just, I can't.
Yeah, but.
God, we're alike.
No, she digs me, man.
Check that one off.
She definitely digs me.
If you had to only pick one, what would you pick or music music music yeah easy so like music is like my like if i don't
produce for like a week i feel like i'm failing i'm like you know sometimes i base my happiness
around about how much music i've been making and how cool it is you know what i mean really
and uh comedy is just fucking fun.
You know, I really love performing,
but if I had to take away like performing
or just sitting down and making music,
I'm going to go making music, man,
because there's just no better feeling
than just being by yourself, zoning everything out,
not worrying about what anybody thinks
of what you're making and just having a good time.
You know, and there's nothing,
I don't think there's a better feeling
than like being fucking jacked up on a song that's cool.
So as you get more successful in your career,
has that mind state changed?
Are you thinking about your fans a little more
than thinking about yourself now you make music?
Nope.
That's awesome.
I try not to think about anything, bro.
Like if I go into the studio,
like I'll have like ideas, things I want to make.
But like if I'm trying to create something,
like, oh, I got to make like a club smasher like you know festival banger this that's gonna
suck it's gonna it's gonna not sound like me and it's just not gonna be as fun my the songs that
my fans vibe with the most are the dumbest goofiest songs that i think are hilarious or just
fun and those are usually what hit, so I just said,
fuck it. I'm just going to keep being myself, man.
God, I got to be a DJ. Sounds so much less pressure.
I don't know. Still a lot of pressure.
Still mad pressure.
But he's playing fun stuff.
You're playing fun stuff.
I know, but I have to think about it more.
I can't just talk about...
I have to have a theme now.
Yeah, but you also have songs that are like...
Silly.
Smoking, whatever.
Yeah, but that was like 12 years ago.
Okay, good point.
So it's like, I've got to evolve.
He's young, blood.
That's all I was going to say.
I know.
This guy's just starting out.
He's getting popping.
Not necessarily just starting out.
But his level is popping.
Starting to pop.
What advice would you give this man for the next five years of his career?
Oh, shit.
Praise the Lord and fuck whores.
Let's go.
My man's American made.
What kind of big bro advice would you give this man?
I'm curious.
Man, I love that you're bringing this like comedic aspect and just like the goofy shit.
Because it's just like fun, man.
It's cool to, there's no like Frank Zappa of EDM necessarily. And that is something
that, you know, I've noticed for a long ass time that's been, been missing. And I don't
know if you ever listened to Zappa growing up or anything like that. Yeah. You should
definitely check. Yeah. Zappa's the shit. I'll send you some shit but it's cool man and he's
super talented at what he does like incredible musician only hired the best like people out like
best musicians out there to play really complicated music but they'd be singing they'd be like making
fun of disco which was like big at the time or they'd be like he'd be playing jokes on you know whatever pretty much commentary
about like a lot of social commentary but um but yeah just like not taking that serious even
though he took it like probably too seriously you know this man is the business guru right yeah i
know so i've heard this man does all the spreadsheets for the band which i want to talk
we're going to talk about how much time we got time boys.
I'm getting into that.
Okay.
I think I thought the advice you're missing was don't go 3d year one.
Yeah.
Go 3d.
Just throw it all up.
Don't go 3d year one.
Go 4d.
Year 10.
3d.
Yeah.
You could have smells going to the crowd.
You know what I mean?
Put some pheromones in there.
Yeah.
Fart pheromones.
But yeah, dude, I mean, keeping like, not like you want to go big, but don't, you know what i mean put some pheromones in there yeah pheromones um but yeah dude i mean keeping like not like you want to go big but don't you know find that that line that
works but also don't hold yourself back because you're like we don't want to um yeah
you're doing great my guy jeremy never has a bad thing to say about people. Thank you, man. That means a lot, brother. That's not true. No, no, no. Keep that number. I can just wait till

She was way more into
my buddy.
Yeah. You were the co-host way more into the, my buddy. Yeah. And I, she just like,
kind of like, Hey, I was the co-host. Wow. And, um, I just felt, I just, it was really
weird to see his penis go inside a woman. Y'all make out. We know we looked at each
other in the eyes. Like then why would you ask me if I make out with my brother, dude?
Cause I wasn't... You a cop?
You got to tell him if you're a cop.

We haven't told Dom about it yet.
It's just Dom in the middle while you are trying to kiss around him.
For a guy named Dom, he's a total simp, you know?
Nice. I know nothing about DJs like that. The cultured, maybe this is Nick's category. Do you have
any questions for these two lovely producers?
I'm not a producer. No, he's a producer. I'm a businessman.
Slash businessman. Who's your, like, who did you first, when you first got into it, you
said you were first bass nectar was a guy you were first into kind of, right?
Yeah. It was like RL Grime, Flasher Thomas and like bass neck.
So you're into the trap guys. What about the trap Caesar hero bust?
Oh yeah.
So like who, when you first got into it, who did you learn from as far as just from a production
angle first, like who are some of your influences, not just like in the party world, but like
actually like in practice.
I'd say probably RL Grime dude. Like whenever I was like making first started and make music, or some of your influences, not just like in the party world, but like actually like in practice?
I'd say probably R.L. Grime, dude.
Whenever I was like making,
first started to make music,
you know,
I wanted to literally be R.L. Grime.
Right.
And for the longest time, I was just trying to make shit
that sounded like them.
And then it's like,
once I finally stopped doing that
and just like,
once I had like a grasp
on everything I was doing,
started making stuff
that I thought was cool,
that's when it like started. Do you think there's like a parallel to comedy with
that where like you start out kind of imitating your favorite comedians until you kind of find
your own voice and then you start oh yeah your own stuff for sure i mean one of the things that
influences my music the most is actually comedy dude like if i'm laughing and like i'm fucking
making some good music right you know what i mean so like i'll usually start my day off with like
watching like comedy like reels or shorts before i get to work and and like it just gets me fucking fucking making some good music. Right, right. You know what I mean? So, like, I'll usually start my day off with, like, watching, like, comedy,
like, reels or shorts before I get to work
and, like, it just gets me
fucking feeling goofy.
Gets the dopamine going a little.
Yeah, man.
So, like, but yeah, dude, I mean,
I don't know, dude.
With comedy,
the first time I got up there
and tried it, I crushed.
I've heard that that happens a lot
the first time
and then the second time.
I bombed for two straight months after that. Because're like just you like don't know your first time like
you're so confident because you don't know like the you know what i mean you don't know how to
be nervous yet yeah and it took me literally like two months of bombing to finally get like another
laugh i'm like thank god i thought about hanging it up and stopping but i was just like um
what do you think that is i don't know I because there's no parallel
to that music I don't think like with it what's because like if you get up there like I have a
sax player so like when I used to get up and go to open mics when I still sucked I was still like
good enough at the saxophone you know I mean because you have to hit a certain skill level
to be invited to be on stage but like with comedy you just write like just sign up right for an open
mic so I think like the floor is like way harder So I don't think there's a parallel for that music.
I think it's just like maybe you don't know
what to be nervous about yet.
So you don't make the mistakes that a nervous person makes
maybe when you're telling the stories.
Then you're probably thinking about it the next time you do it.
You're chasing that like,
I got this and then it just falls flat.
And you're like...
One thing about comedy for me is confidence is
key, dude.
Dave Chappelle said, you don't always have to be funny but you always have to be entertaining
yeah so it's like you go up there and you talk like you know what you're talking about or like
you at least have a story maybe it's not funny at this you know for this amount of time but it's got
them their fucking attention like that that can be comedy you know what i mean just like an
entertainer so you know fucking i've seen comedians with you know
great jokes but they're like nervous as hell i'm like dude you gotta just like late same with djs
though i've seen djs play dope ass sets but they're just like scared up there behind the
decks i'm like dude fucking rock out dude you're fucking throwing a party like have some fun up
there if you show the crowd you're having fun or show them that like what you're in what you're
doing right now is fucking cool or fun, dude.
They're going to, they're going to feed off.
Yeah, exactly.
Sometimes they don't know and you have to tell them.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like, Hey, that's funny.
Why don't you laugh?
Yeah.
If you don't laugh, if you don't laugh at this joke, I'll fucking get,
I'm the comedian.
I'm the expert here.
I'm telling you it's funny.
Do you remember the first time you made someone laugh?
Oh, fuck.
Yeah, dude.
So I used to like hurt myself in front of like jackass style yeah
like johnny cash yeah i hurt my so like i used to i used to want to get like my brother i used
to think my brother was so cool like him and his buddies um so whenever i was younger i would just
do fucking dumb shit to try to get him to laugh or pay attention so like you know we had like a
ceiling fan in our bedroom,
and I'd be like, hey, Matt, watch this,
and just put my head in the ceiling.
Just fucking hitting the shit out of myself, man.
What the fuck are they up to in Mississippi?
They're not shit to do, man.
Ain't shit, dude.
It's entertainment.
It's like Indiana, honestly.
It's not much different.
Yeah, dude.
So, like, I think that was the first time I got, like, good laughs.
I was always, like, the class clown.
Right.
I never, like, the teachers always liked me because, like, I was, I was always like the class clown. Like, I never like the teachers always liked me because like I was funny.
I was never like funny and like an asshole.
I was like funny.
And they're like,
Oh,
that was funny.
And then they,
you know,
I wasn't a bad student.
I mean,
I didn't have good grades,
but I wasn't like dick.
So like,
you knew when to turn it off and not push that line.
Okay.
Yeah.
I'd wait for my moment to strike dude.
But fucking,
uh,
you know, I, I got, I, it was for my moment to strike, dude. But fucking, you know,
it was either trying to make my brother and his friends laugh
or just making mother classmates and teachers laugh.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So with that confidence from making people laugh,
do you think people were making fun of you
or are they laughing with you?
I didn't give a fuck, honestly, man.
I really did not give a fuck.
Really? No?
No.
Nothing you're insecure about?
Sometimes my body.
Wait, were you fat?
No, dude.
I got a small dick.
Oh, that's fine.
It's average.
I was trying to get a laugh.
Then I got nothing.
It just seemed true,
so it felt bad.
Yeah, it's like,
yeah, yeah, yeah.
You might have a small dick.
You sold it too good
so like i like to exercise like i like to run i like to play basketball i like to lift weights
so like whenever like i don't do that for a while and i'm just like eating like shit maybe i'm on
the road for too long like i can feel like feel my body like man i don't i don't look good i don't
feel good so maybe that's like some things i'm insecure about is like sometimes my body you know
but uh man you're sexy dude don't i know i know i'm sexy but sometimes like sometimes my body you know but uh man you're sexy dude
i know i know i'm sexy but sometimes it gets me man you know like i mean i would me
like if there was another one of me like yeah would you have a threesome with yourself
would you kiss yourself would you man i have a twosome with myself dude yeah there you go
right up i would blow this out of myself i've definitely had a few onesomes yeah
handful but nah man like i honestly didn't care if they were laughing at me or with me as long
as they were laughing you know laughter is fun and like it lightens the mood whatever so you
know like one thing about me is i don't get like embarrassed or like nothing embarrass me it's hard
to to offend me or to embarrass my. So whenever I'm in public,
I'll do shit on purpose to get a reaction from people
or my girlfriend.
I'll embarrass her.
She's like, how does this not fuck with you?
It's really hard to...
Does she get embarrassed?
Yeah.
And you like that.
What have you done?
What's the...
Saying something in an elevator like,
did you kill the homeless guy?
Yeah, we'll be in Walmart.
I'm like, did you fuck my my brother i'll just yell it yeah like it's like a little like that dude
like in the airports i'll do random like you know just things like that where i just get
the attention of other people who are doing random where i'm just like oh my god oh my sister's

Like little things like that.
Like, you know, whatever.
Do you think Walmart,

We have like 10 of these a day.
I'm trying to figure out
where that comes from.
Like, did you feel like
you weren't getting enough attention
as a kid?
No, man.
I've just always been an energetic little motherfucker, dude.
Always.
And so, like, I was just always...
I wouldn't say it was trying to get attention.
It was almost just trying to get approval.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
I hear that.
Yeah.
I was like that, too.
Yeah, trying to get, like, approval that, like, what I'm doing is cool or funny or, you know, they see me.
Yeah.
You know, I don't think it was ever to get attention.
I just, I've always been energetic and I just always wanted to like express that in a fun way.
With your mom working three jobs, did you feel like you couldn't get her attention?
No.
That's what I'm saying, bro.
Like that type of stuff, like the divorce, my mom working all the time i think that affected my siblings bro

was very taboo and i thought that was really cool right so there we go and they're just like

He's a different guy with a mullet.
I'm like, I haven't heard of him.
He's cool.
Did you market your stuff with the mullet, or is this a new look?
It's a new look, man.
I've been growing it for about a year.
Looks good.
Yeah, man.
It's a slight cut.
I do not. it goes with the
blue collar base tour for sure dude it honestly just goes with me like as soon as i did it as
soon as i did it i was like bro this is the haircut i was always supposed to have this is
the first time you've had a mullet like you didn't have one growing up i had one growing up yeah um

Are you uncircumcised?
I'm circumcised.
I ain't got the foreskin.
Do you have foreskin?
No, I'm Jewish.
They cut it off.
They have a bris.
Yeah, we have a ceremony.
Jews have a ceremony when the baby's born within a few weeks.
I just always think it's like a party.
Everybody's circumcised everywhere. You guys took us over with that. Yeah, dude. I mean,
I don't want to keep it clean for y'all. I don't know, dude. I haven't seen an uncircumcised
penis, but if my buddy had one, I'd be like, dude, I got to see it. Yeah. I don't think
I've ever seen one in person. That's what I'm saying. I want to see it in person. Sounds
weird to say I saw one as a kid, but I remember I remember at camp, it was like the JCC day camp.
Jewish camp had an uncircumcised dick?
Well, he was Russian.
Oh, okay.
I respect that.
But he was from Russia, but younger.
And I just remember seeing him.
We were like, whoa, crazy.
What's going on?
What's the deal?
Because we didn't know.
We were like probably six or seven.
Oh, man.
That probably was traumatizing. Yeah.
I feel bad for that kid because
people were like picking on him and shit.
It's like a fucking hungry hippo inside
that thing. Yeah, it's an anteater.
Yeah, it's like an oversized turtleneck.
That might be my first memory. Actually
scratch Epcot. It might be.
Well, yeah, we're not haters of the uncircumcised.
That's all the uncircumcised. I don't agree with you, Andy. haters of the uncircumcised. That's all the uncircumcised.

Well, this company, Volume.com,
created Chatterbait.
Who's the sponsor?
Who's on our network? Wow.
I never heard of it, though. What is Chatterbait?
It is a
pornographic website. It's just
pretty much like
people on cams.
And they have...
You can just... It'ss. And they have, and there's like a, there's, you can just, it's
free. Or you can like
make a login and do tokens or something
and get, and essentially incentivize
people to go harder on the cam.
And there's like thousands of people all over
the world. You can just click on whatever.
I got friends who work on that site actually.
Dude, I'm sure
that like anyone
could make money doing doing this
shit anyway it's it seems like it's popular but it also seems like it's like kind of underground
but you can like control the devices yeah if a woman has like uh like they'll have like a dildo
that is on bluetooth and the more that they'll set levels of like if you tip 50 coins this happens
if you tip and people start doing weird stuff
and it turns up the thing
or they have machines that are like,
it's just like a dildo that's going like this.
I'm fucking freaked out.
No, it's not a Sibian.
It's literally a dildo on a fucking dolly.
Shout out to women.
They are the best.
I fucking love women.
Not intuitive.
Just the technology in this web that's been built around this is like...
Innovative.
That's a turn on.
It's innovative.
They're innovating every day.
Anyway...
No dudes like getting paid millions of dollars to beat off.
That's not true actually.
I'm sure there's someone.
No.
Yeah.
I'm sure there's crazy. I mean, they have literally every... there's tabs for every different kind of like couples singles men women trans whatever
you know the highest google i don't know if there's a cream theory open chatterbait
you know the highest uh pay in like porn for like you know just normal porn unless you're
like a star the highest amount of money that you can get doing porn is if you're a straight man doing gay porn.
Oh, I've heard that.
I think it's like one-third or one-fourth of men in gay porn are actually straight.
You didn't know that?
I worked at a porn house when I was a kid because I grew up in the valley in LA,
and I lived in a mansion house.
I was a security guard when I was like 19.
So they'd shoot porn at the house, and you were security. when i was like 19. so they'd shoot porn
they'd shoot porn at the house and you were security i was security yeah and i'd live at
the house all summer see this is some that would have happened to him if he grew up in
l.a it was great but he grew up in mississippi they don't have that's where i got hpv though
i had it i mean that's fancy cool it was pretty cool yeah people dream you dream i worked
at a gas station no i got dirty like dirty. You're living in all people's come
bro. You think that's dirty, dude. I fucking worked some weird jobs just to get by when
I was young. I worked at a truck bedliner business and Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Dude,
my buddy opened it up. He thought it was going to be a money making scheme and he had the
fucking setup to make all the money he wanted to. And he didn't know dick about truck bedliners,
but we're in this warehouse in Baton Rouge.
What's a truck bed liner?
So, like, you know, the bed of the truck,
like the material.
A semi-truck.
No, like a bed of a truck.
Okay, sorry.
Yeah, they spray it down.
So, the thing is,
so, we were in the hood in a warehouse
in Baton Rouge, Louisiana,
in the middle of summer with no AC.
And the biggest thing that can fuck up bed liners is moisture.
So you have to wear a bodysuit in the summer
and you're sitting there scrubbing all the dust
and dirt out of bed liners.
And that thing would fuck up
and every day would get to work.
Something was stolen or broken into, dude.
Just sweating as much as you possibly could
for 12 hours a day in the summer, dude.
Like that's dirty.
A little bit of cum, dog. Fucking cum on my face, dude, like that's dirty. A little bit of cum, dog.
Fucking cum on my face, dude.
Like that's easy.
I respect.
I respect that.
I respect that.
American made.
American made man.
This man is America.
You got anything else you want to ask?
This is pretty amazing.
I think this is, I don't know.
I don't have anything.
I have no more questions for this man.
I think you're.
I have a question for all of us.
Okay.
What's the weirdest thing you've jerked off to?
Maybe it's not even that weird, but
how far into it have you gone?
I've gotten pretty deep into a rabbit hole like last week.
This is a great Andy question.
Yeah, perfect Andy question.
I'll tell you what, dude. I did learn one night that I ain't
freaky. You ain't as freaky as you think
you are until you meet a real freak, dog.
I got fucking...
That's true.
I think I got damn...
I felt violated one night,
dude. What happened? Alright, dude, it's a fucking
it's a vile story.
Alright, I don't mind.
Alright, we're here.
So, I'm in damn Richmond,
Virginia.
That's where I'm from. Yeah, well, they got some
fucking nasty whores out there.
But, uh, They got some fucking nasty whores out there. I'm joking.
But, so I met this gal, and she brings me back to her house.
We're about to get it on.
And you know how, like, girls will have, like, a drawer with, like, toys or some shit?
Yeah.
This bitch had a treasure chest.
And, like, it opened up and had, like, multiple, like, things that popped out with it.
So she pulls out this butt plug.
I thought it was for her.
Wrong.
Wrong.
So she fucking dips this thing in like some jelly or oil.
And the next thing you know, it's in me.
Like just like that.
What?
I just met her, dude.
And this isn't even where.
You didn't even ask.

just like i'm trying to get freaky i don't know but that ain't even where it gets wild the
traditional sense of freaky yeah so this thing's in me this thing's in me and so and the next thing
you know she pulls out like this belt and it's like this thing like this little finger gun that's just like sitting
there rubbing her and then so she had that she had like this like strap-on thing on her body
to where like the more she moved the more it choked it was like a ball gag too and then yes
dude and then so and then she had a dildo so while i'm fucking her I'm sitting here shoving this dildo in her ass while choking her and her hands wrapped around fucking pulling this butt plug in and out of me.
And I am terrified.
Yeah.
It sounds like Twister.

Getting touched.
Getting a butt plug in your ass.
Did you like it?
Did it feel good?
Dude, listen.
I'm okay with butt stuff.
You can put a finger in me, but we got to work up to it, dude.
I literally thought that was for her, but in a second, that thing's just in me, dog.
Before I even realized what was happening.
You didn't say no.
You just let it happen?
Dude, listen.
Here's the thing. I think
that God has a plan for everybody.
And that night, I was wondering
maybe that was his plan
for me.
God's plan.
I'm also ain't scared of shit.
I ain't scared of a fucking thing.
My dad didn't raise no quitter.
My mom taught me better.

No, but I'm saying like what...
I know, it's the DJ championship.
Say like you don't make it to your dream
of being the ultimate DJ or being the ultimate comedian.
You'd be cool with that?
That's not an option.
Yeah.
The thing is like...
I'm kind of
fucking illiterate i feel like so like um but i've always been naturally talented at you know music
you know that was and my mom saw that like my siblings super fucking smart really good at school
i'm dyslexic as the shit fucking add as hell right and my mom like found out when i was really young
that i could do music.
So she really was like,

Off the bat. Thank you guys so much you guys blow my brains out. What a podcast. Mitch, thank you for being on the

Nah, man, I really do
appreciate you coming on my show, man. I'd love to have you
on my podcast. Yeah, anytime, man.
I know I'm not a producer, but
that's fine. I mean, I don't have just producers
on the show, man. You know,
podcasts literally can just like,
sometimes I'll have podcasts with people I've already had on and we're not
talking about music.
My favorite podcast is when we don't talk about music.
We just bullshit,
talk about the weirdest things we've jerked off to.
That's funny to me.
You know,
that's the fucking,
that's entertainment,
dude.
Well,

Mitch,
and I can't wait to learn more.
Hopefully we can be friends.
Yeah,

I've been a big fan of you for a while. I've seen you a couple times
in my lifetime. So this is cool as shit,
dude. Like I said, man. This is cool, man.
I love it. Alright. Go have fun
and be safe.
You're about to blow up. You're kind of
blowing up now, but it's going to happen for you.
Keep level-headed
and keep America proud.
Remember your roots. I'm going to let it go to my head and I'm just going to
start punching
women.
Don't do it.
All right.
Have a good night.
