Hey, Andy.
I was listening to your podcast,
and I heard the part where you're talking about
how quickly you're able to jerk off.
So I was actually calling to see if you could give me any pointers
or, like, some advice because it just, I mean, it takes me way too long.
I tried to, like, set the mood, light up some
candles, like some dumb bullshit, but it just doesn't work out for me. It just takes so fucking
long and like, it just hurts. So I would love to be able to come quickly. So yeah, let me know.
Okay. Call me back. Bye. Hey, it's me again. In case you're dumb, I was kidding, you fucking idiot.
Stop telling people to come quicker.
Don't ruin sex for me.
The last thing I need is some guy who thinks two pumps is enough, okay?
Play one more. I don't wanna be a dad
You depend on me when times get bad
But I wanna fuck if you're still down
And a river will come about to drown
Jump up, cause I'm coming In a river of cum About to drown Jump off
Cause I'm coming
Jump off
Cause I'm coming
I don't wanna be a down
Jump off
Cause I'm coming
Jump off
Cause I'm coming
I'm coming I'm gonna slay it
Tim, you good?
Yeah, it's good. It's better. There we go. It's a little hot. A little hot.
All right, and we're back. Andy Frasco's World Saving Podcast.
I'm Andy Frasco. How's your heads? How's your minds?
How's your Achilles? God damn it.
Poor Aaron Rodgers.
I bet no one's ever
flown out of a teletendent
doing a podcast.
That'd be so funny.
Someone's just sitting there
on a couch talking
and then all of a sudden
they're just like on the floor.
Poor guy.
It is funny though.
I was rooting for him.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Not him getting hurt
isn't funny,
but like anytime
there's a big hype
about something
and then it just
immediately fails.
Yeah.
Funny.
It's like the Titanic or the Hindenburg.
You hate,
you love that shit.
You live for that type of shit.
What?
Just like when people hype something up and it's not the hype that it is.
It's because it happens like 85% of the time.
Nothing's ever as good as you think it is,
but also nothing's ever as bad as.
You're like waiting for him to just like get hurt.
I don't want him to get hurt.
I don't,
that sucks.
I don't really,
I don't. You wanted the Jets to get hurt. I don't, that sucks. I don't really, I don't,
you wanted the jets to suck.
No,
I wanted,
no,
I don't know if that's true because I like a lot of the guys on that team.
You're out there in the side.
Yes.
Aaron,
did you hear that Aaron hurt himself?
No,
I would never want anyone to hurt themselves.
That's bullshit.
If he,
the thing is he wasn't that good last year,
so they might've just been not that good.
Anyway,
we have my optimistic friend.
They have a great defense.
I mean, they still won the game.
That's the funniest part about it, maybe.
That's the best part.
Is they still won the game and...
Because their defense rules.
You won't even look us in the eyes.
Well, the Bills,
they might have missed their window for that Super Bowl.
It's done.
It's done, bud.
We love Buffalo, but it's done.
Josh Allen, does he fumble a lot?
I don't know.
Does he, Bo?
It feels like every time I watch them, he fumbles.
But maybe he just doesn't and it just happens to be that.
Maybe because they feel your fucking energy.
Like, hello, Josh.
It's like you come into my show.
I get so freaked out when you come to my shows.
Oh, God.
It's fucking horrible.
Really?
Yeah, I'm like...
Why?
Because, I don't know. Because I know you don't like it. You're just
there to be my friend. And that's like,
I'm not even thinking in that
manner. I'm like, Oh, what's that good about?
You're just in the back with your
fucking Tony Soprano sunglasses.
Just getting just
here. I'm not making any money.
I'm not making any fucking money
right now. And I'm at a thing. How can I tell
Andy I need to sit in, but he also
needs to pay me?
No,
that's funny you think that because I'm usually
just like, should I get another drink?
Do you like going to shows? Yeah, I love music.
Really? Yeah.
I went to Umphrey's last weekend.
Oh man, this has been such a great fucking
week. I met Tenacious D.
They fucking love our show.
I love that band.
Definitely.
I don't want to jinx it.
Definitely.
Just say it on the podcast.
Yeah, you can't just go on tour with them.
They have to invite you.
They got to invite me.
That'd be so funny if you just manifest destiny
and you're way onto it, though.
I believe in that shit.
What? Manifestation. I do probably it, though? I believe in that shit. What?
Manifestation.
I do.
Probably not in the same way you believe in it, but I think there's something to positive thinking.
Right.
I don't think the universe hears you and arranges the world for you.
I don't know.
It was weird.
Since I was a kid, I wanted to go on a date with a girl from SNL, and I did.
Yeah, but it was like, I'm not a very famous one. I'm just kidding.
Shut the fuck up. No, but my point is
She's beautiful and sweet. Right, but
I could do that and it would never happen. You know what I'm saying?
Why?
Because I'm not hot like you.
You think I'm hot? Yeah, you're definitely hot. You think I'm hot?
Yeah, for a 35-year-old.
Oh, bud, thanks. Especially for a 35-year-old
who looks like he's a 45-year-old.
Shut the fuck up
I told someone you were 35 the other day
and they were like what?
really?
yeah I'm not going to say who because I don't want to make them feel bad
they thought you were 40
people think I'm older than I am
your eyes are going
yeah I got the crow's feet from smiling
yeah from smiling
that's what it's from
dude at fish remember when you grabbed my hand at fish oh yeah you hated that That's what it's from.
Dude, at Fish,
remember when you grabbed my hand at Fish?
Oh, yeah, you hated that.
Okay, but I want to clear the air on this. I wanted to hold your hand.
Because Kunj probably thinks, because Kunj had you do it, right?
Yeah.
People are thinking, maybe want to think,
I don't want to hold your hand because it's like gay or whatever.
No.
It has nothing to do with that.
It's because your hand,
it feels like when you grab an No. It has nothing to do with that. It's because your hand,
it feels like when you grab an ancient monkey's paw in like a movie
and it makes you go into another body
or like transport.
It feels like an ancient talisman.
My hand feels like...
Your hand feels like an ancient talisman.
I don't want to grab it ever again.
It feels like a foot.
It feels like someone else's foot.
Your hand is...
And your feet are...
I was also sweating.
I was like, had Todd at the fish concerts. I was like someone else's foot. Your hand and your feet are... I was also sweating. I had Todd
at the Phish concert. I was worried about
him and then the Pearl
situation where I didn't want to fucking...
You know, I was
just like too many...
What does that have to do with your hands being... I was just getting anxious
because like... I'm just talking about the way your fingers are
and just like... I know, but like I get anxious
and I start sweating from my palms. You have foot hands and hand feet.
But is that... You have foot hands and you have hand feet.
You're like a monkey at the zoo, I guess.
Yeah.
I don't like trying to entertain three people.
You don't have to entertain me.
No, you're out of that list.
Yeah, okay, good.
I don't have to entertain you.
We can just go hang out.
I'm normal.
You know what I'm talking about.
It's like when you're having like...
Well, especially because Todd didn't like it.
Yeah, Todd didn't like it. Yeah, Todd didn't like it.
Pearl wanted to go
and me to go
just sit there.
Attractive women wanted to be around me.
I'm just kidding.
You were having fun though.
I was having a blast, but I don't want people looking to see like,
oh, did you like that part?
Do you like that part? I hate when people do that.
Gross, gross hand. You have the hand of a guy who's been a welder for 30 years.
But you're not.
You're just a California golden boy.
I almost said Jew.
I do have.
I didn't say Jew, guys.
I'm not going to say Jew.
That's what Donald Trump does.
That's how he calls people something.
I'm not going to say he's a Jew.
Other people might be saying Jew, but I'm not saying Jew say he's a Jew Other people might be saying Jew But I'm not saying Jew
Anyway this Jew walked over here
Wow we are on fire today
Anyway
I think there's a ghost in this house
Ooh fun
We got to get mentored over here
He's got to come over and check this out
He wants to come do ghost stories
I'm at a point where I'm not even sleeping in my bed
I'm sleeping on the couch every night
And where's the ghost?
Usually they sit in one area. It's a
friendly ghost. Here's what we do. We bring
Bennett over here. Don't fucking say anything about a ghost.
Yeah. Have him walk around.
See if he... He's in touch. He's the only
person that's ever told me a ghost story where
I believe it. Okay.
Maybe I should do that because the ghost
is friendly, but it feels like a stiff
air in here.
Stiff?
But now I just wake up.
I sweat and I wake up.
Only when I'm in that bed.
When I'm sleeping on the couch, I still wake up at like 3 o'clock every night.
Exactly at 3 o'clock.
Maybe it's tickling you or something.
Something's up.
This house is kind of new, though.
Not really. It's 70s.
I mean, yeah, I guess people definitely got murdered in the 70s
in houses like this, for sure.
But she's friendly.
How do you know it's a she?
It feels like a woman presence.
So do you.
Because women, I like women and I, we hang out.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We know you like women, Andy.
We get it. You're safe.
You're safe to be around.
Shut the fuck up.
You can trust Andy,
everybody. Oh my God. Shut the fuck
up, Nick. Anyway, grab some
dialing gummies. Grab some dialing gummies.
No, seriously, they are good. I've been
mowing them like Pac-Man lately.
Why do you...
They taste good. They look good. They feel good.
They feel great. They're perfect. They're
great price too. I realize I don't have
a lot of male friends.
Yeah, male friends suck. They don't talk about anything
cool. They're not hot.
Yeah.
That's hot.
I feel like the girlfriends I have
in my life,
Breanne and Marina
and going on.
They're just like... I could talk to them.
Yeah.
Maybe men are too smart for you.
Oh my god, Nick.
That had a good layer to it because I called you
dumb and women dumb.
Jesus
fucking Christ. Anyway, no.
Women are great. They just have a more
variety of
interest than men, I feel like.
Anyway, let's just do the Dowding Gummies one for real
because they've been really good to us and we've been kind of
half-assing it lately. Dowding Gummies.
If you're in the Denver area, which you probably are,
or Colorado or Steamboat,
Vail, I think they're in Vail.
Aspen. Just look for them.
Just look for them. Grab some Dowding Gummies.
They are homologized.
Is that the word? Pretty good.
Homogenized.
That means that
they're a perfect amount of THC
in every bite. Spread evenly.
Like a perfect
peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
I've been thinking about peanut butter and jelly sandwiches lately.
Yeah, they're fire.
They're so fire.
They kind of remind me of dialed-in.
A peanut butter and jelly? I don't know if they have a peanut butter
flavor. You think that'd be weird to have a peanut
butter flavor? Gummy?
Like a gelatin? Yeah, I'd try it though.
I'd try it.
I mean, jelly would be easy.
We're going to make a world-saving peanut butter and jelly gummy.
Strawberry jelly would be easy.
They have great containers. I love the containers.
Yeah, and you can see how fresh they
are. You can check the barcode and you'll see
exactly where it was
grown, what day it was grown, everything.
They're usually very fresh because they sell so
fast. Yep. And they're all sold out all
the time, so good luck. But
get yourself some dialing gummies. Just
tell them Frasco sent you.
And vote for me.
Did you do any mayor stuff?
I did.
And I realized, I text you this.
We're keeping the potholes.
Okay, fine.
We're keeping the potholes.
It gives us charm.
I love Indianapolis.
Yeah.
You do that.
I'm going to get rid of them.
Okay.
We can't agree on everything.
You can get rid of them, but I know it's going to take forever.
They love their cars in Indy, though.
I know, but you're cheap.
It's going to take forever.
No, and I'll put money into that.
I'm going to take that money right from Carmel and put it right into that.
Really?
Yep.
Can't be that expensive.
It's just going to take forever.
I know.
There's so many potholes, dude.
It's insane.
It's crazy.
It's like you're on the surface of the moon or something.
It's like, I can't believe it.
When you drive through there, I was like, how bad can it be?
Because I would see my friends whining and bitching about it on Facebook.
Yeah. I'm like, God, these guys never shut up. would see my friends whining and bitching about it on Facebook. Yeah.
I'm like, God, these guys never shut up.
It's pretty wild.
I mean, it's constant.
Yeah, it's constant.
It's like you're in Philadelphia during the Revolutionary War on a cobblestone.
You know what I mean?
But nope, you're just going to the mousetrap to get some chicken fingers.
Yeah.
We stayed in the hotel.
And I didn't realize I was in the ghetto until
you were what hotel?
We were kind of in the ghetto.
Were you downtown?
No, we were kind of, where were we?
It's like North Indiana, North Indianapolis.
Oh, it's like not that bad, but Indianapolis, you can get shot there for sure.
Oh dude.
I was just like, this guy was like, Hey, hello, sir.
How you doing?
Have a nice day.
And I looked at his belt and he just had a big old
fucking machine gun pistol yeah i mean indianapolis you know like he was nice though the block the
guys with the guns are generally the people you want to be nice to i'm like hello sir yeah well
i mean the block i lived in before i moved here there was like four murders within like
four blocks oh Holy shit.
You can definitely get murdered and robbed there.
I liked it. Everyone was super nice.
The state fair thing is cool.
I like how it's like they're having it at a venue.
There's real bathrooms and stuff.
Yeah, All In Fest was fucking awesome.
Did you see...
Who else was it? Tenacious D?
Tenacious D, I did the Beatles set.
Was that fun?
It was fun. That is cool in Indy. They don't usually do that kind the Beatles set. Was that fun? It was fun.
That is cool in Indy.
They don't usually do that kind of stuff there because they like to go to real concerts.
It's more for musicians.
But we did kill it.
We did kill it.
We did.
Doug Henthorne was on it.
Who's that?
The guitar player.
Oh, he's awesome.
I was hanging out with him having a beer.
Cover band legend around Indianapolis.
Yeah.
He's the man.
He was telling me, he's like, I got to get the fuck out of Indianapolis.
Hank Cook was the drummer, right? Yeah. It was a good band. Melon Camp'sapolis. Yeah. He's the man. He was telling me, he's like, I gotta get the fuck out of Indianapolis. Hank Cook was the drummer, right? Yeah.
It was a good band. Mellencamp's drummer.
Yeah, it was a good band. Like, the band was dope
and I had
a rehearsal. I never do that. What?
They made me do rehearsal. Why didn't we do it on the road?
How much did you pay them to do this?
How much? I did it for
free. What? Yeah. Brian!
I know. I know, I'm too nice
John!
I'm gonna start
I mean, I'm serious
I'm not trying to be cocky or anything
But
Yeah, a little bit
I roll around in this fucking
I roll around in the hood
I go out there, I kiss the babies
I take the photos.
Yeah.
I do all that.
I understand.
Part of the festival.
You're a man of the people.
I'm the man of the people.
Just saying.
You're a real good guy, Andy.
When those offers come in, think about that as well, okay?
Let's get that Nick text.
I come out there.
I kiss the babies.
I do all that stuff.
Anyway, how's your day?
It's fun to go out there and meet people.
I like doing it.
I'd rather be out there than fucking backstage where everyone's just sterile as fuck.
I like doing that.
Looking at their phone.
And then being myself and being all weird and meeting people.
And they're like, that's fun.
Because I got to do the podcast.
I got a lot of questions for Bayless.
Bay Bay?
Is he ready?
Should we call him in?
Let's call him in.
Is he going to be on Zoom?
He's going to be on Zoom.
I can see you and I can hear you, that's the problem There he is!
There's our guy!
Fuck yeah, man
What's up, buddy?
That was a good joke, Brendan
Thank you, I was just working on it
So should we start off by making fun of Joel's salad?
Joel got a big salad at Mishawaka
What? He likes salads?
He did
Everybody else had to eat the delicious steak they made
And he had a beautiful salad brought out to him
It was like a Shoney salad
He likes to toss the salad
Bayless, how's it been?
This has been a big week
You've had like 25 different fucking drummers
What's going on? How'd it go?
It's been good, actually
Six, I think
That's gotta give you a headache Six, I think. Wow.
That's got to give you a headache.
That's got to give you a headache.
Yeah, but at the same time, if we had zero, that'd be a bigger headache.
Yeah, yeah. Respect.
Respect.
I respect that.
What are you going to do?
You should say we had six drummers, five counting Jake Seninger.
Well, it's funny.
We went out for one with Jake, we walk out and we're like,
five of us are going out.
Six of us are coming back.
Oh my God.
We saw Nick last week.
I heard.
How'd it go?
Was he wearing his sunglasses during the fucking nighttime gig?
It was.
Well, he was.
He was also wearing them indoors.
In the dark.
My new thing.
Typically, when I don't have anything nice to say about Nick,
I just don't say anything.
Yeah.
Or when I do have something nice, I don't say anything either.
I'm not going to lie.
He was fucking great.
Really?
People forget that I'm very good at what I do.
He's a good sax player, right?
Great.
Probably more in the great range.
He's a really good sax player, right? Great. Probably more in the great range. He's a really
good sax player. I was pleasantly
reminded.
We did go. We went hard. I was in for the jokes.
Yeah, yeah.
We did. We did the
famous Huey Lewis line together.
Really? From I want a new
Oh, that's dope.
It's a fucking hard line, by the way.
It is a hard line. It took me 30 minutes to learn it.
I was like, we're definitely playing it.
Yeah.
Joel's like, we can do a skip that one.
You're like, no.
I learned this shit.
You shut the fuck up.
Ben Atkin was on that game.
The Goose drummer was on that one.
Yeah.
So who was, can you say who was the best, who was the worst, or what?
Not the worst.
I'm not just saying this.
Everybody's been killing it, and everybody's
been different.
I don't think
there's any better or worse.
It's just each one is unique,
which is awesome.
It's been a relief.
You kind of get out of autopilot.
When you're with your boys for so long,
you guys know exactly what you're doing.
You guys are like fucking robots.
It's nice to be on your toes again.
It's like having an audible when you're a quarterback.
It's been cool.
It's been challenging.
The reward's even better because when it's clicking,
everything's working, it's like,
oh, yes, thank God we're doing it.
And then there's weird parts where we're trying to teach or practice the song,
and somebody's like, how do you count this?
And none of us know how to count.
Well, we've just been doing it for 20 years by muscle memory.
Well, here's a great example.
So Dwayne Trucks was the the first week and we had this one
song that's like fucking weird rhythms and all this and he was like how do you count this and
i said i count it like this one and a two and a three and a four and a five and a lick on my ball
and once he got to the ball he's like oh okay oh, okay, lick on the ball. Okay, I can do that. I got it.
So it's just once everyone figures out the same language.
They say music is a language, you know?
Was anyone not prepared, but they were that good you didn't know?
Nick.
Nick Gerlach.
Yeah, that's fair.
I talked to Jeremy Sulkin yesterday, was Yesterday and he was so pumped up
He said that was like the most
Exhilarating thing he's done in a long time
It's pretty cool dude
It was great because we've known
Each other for years
And maybe that's the
We've played I don't know how many shows
In the same bill together
But that's definitely the most we've ever played together uh-huh and dude he did his homework like there was some shit that we we didn't know how to
count he was like it's right here he's pretty type a guy so i could see him just being hold on were
you guys having band practice for the shows like you you're rolling in like day of like how are
you even rehearsing it's like do you like that's fucking weird that's crazy
you're just going in there balls out
Nick was there
he saw like we basically sat around
he was on the couch all day like
his glasses on basically
but he was paying did you even invite him
no I was invited
did you invite him or just show up
I didn't
no you just learned the line that I learned
just randomly the best part i learned on like that just
randomly the best part was my second song where i sat in when he made fun of me when i was coming
out because i was like side stage waiting to go and you go nick has been staring me down during
this whole jam waiting to come out or something everybody laughed at me and that was my yes my
introduction to him coming out was ladies and gentlemen, Nick Gerlach has been staring at me
for the last five minutes on the side of the stage
waiting for me to introduce him.
So we might as well just bring him out.
I was ready to go, man.
So how many more months do you have to do this shit?
Well, we got this week is four with Mike Greenfield.
Oh, that would be sick.
With Lotus, dude?
Yeah. Oh, dude would be sick. With Lotus, dude? Yeah.
Oh, dude.
Nicest guy ever.
You should just do every single drummer
and make it a reality television show.
Then you just tell them they got the gig.
Tell everyone they got the gig.
At the end.
And then Chris shows up.
He's like, what the fuck?
Then he takes his gig back.
Then Chris takes the gig back.
Chris comes in dressed up
like Friday Kid and sweeps the legs.
Or Highlander, maybe. He could be
a Highlander thing.
What's Chris's vibe through all this? Is he getting jealous
or what? Is he mad he misses it?
No, I mean,
he just got a sling off a couple
days ago. He's probably
enjoying it a little.
Yes, I think he's bored
because he told Bobby that he's watched
all of the TV.
All of it.
No more Netflix left.
I think he's probably ready.
You guys know how it is.
When you're on the road, you always want to go home.
Once you're home for a while, you're like,
I don't know what to do with myself.
I need to go do something. Where do I put my hands?
Right.
Well,
I'm sure he knows.
Oh, that man probably watched all the porn
too. He's watched all the TV
and all the porn. And he sent him a list.
I sent him a list. I said, just in case
you get real bored, here's some real freaky
shit. And Chris was like, this is so
normal. Why is it all
just people in love?
Your Monday porn
and your Tuesday porn, you know, building up
through the week. Andy's porn is just people being in
love.
No sex
at all. He's like, wow, look at the
intimacy.
What about you? I feel like I just saw Nick and I was meaning to hang out with Frasco this weekend.
I got pictures from all of my friends hanging out with him.
And apparently you are happy to be here now.
I think I'm working my way in, bud.
I've been talking with Kyle Gass for the last three days.
You're done.
You're being phased out.
That's true.
You got a more famous acoustic
guitarist. Oh, it was awesome,
man. I didn't know.
But I love that. Dude, it was
the whole Ump family, dude.
It was everyone from
the golf... Except us.
Except you. You guys showed up on Sunday,
which was probably smart because
I got super wasted with
Ralphie, dude. Me and Ralphie had
a fucking night. No way. Ralphie?
I fucking love Ralphie.
Ralphie got wasted? Yeah.
I was getting texts from him
at midnight through like 2pm
the next day and then it was radio silence.
I didn't see him.
Football's on. Gotta go. He called my phone 17
times. He's like, come over to the house.
Kevin Brown is sleeping.
We could go hang out on the couch.
I'm like, Ralphie, I'm not doing that.
I'm like, I'm not.
Ralphie, you went to high school in the 80s.
You have a vivid memory of Ronald Reagan speeches.
Go to bed.
It was so awesome.
Well, speaking of that, Kevin sent me a picture of you hanging out with your boy, Trey.
All flipping the camera off.
That was cool.
Did you get to hang out with him? So badass.
That was funny.
He walked up and we started talking about Jen.
And he's like, how's Jen doing?
I was like, I don't know.
He's like, should we fuck with her?
He's like, yeah, we should fuck with her. I was like, middle fingers? He's like, oh, fuck yeah. I love it. And that's what, how's Jen doing? I was like, I don't know. He's like, should we fuck with her? He's like, yeah, we should fuck with her.
I was like, middle fingers?
He's like, oh, fuck yeah.
I love it.
And that's what that was for.
And that was just love for Jen.
Why did Kevin and Joel smile while they're flipping people off?
That kind of takes away the energy of it.
They're real smiling in that picture.
Like these nerds.
Yeah.
You can see who's authentic and who's not.
That's why we hang out with the authentic ones
Me and you baby
You're my guy
I used to be in Sultanasius D
No I still call you
Brendan who?
We are two
We met up at the United Airport Club
And had a couple glasses of wine
And shared a couple laughs
He calls you that dad guy in Chicago now.
Oh, shut the fuck up.
Hey, have you talked to Jen?
How's it going with her and James?
That's so crazy with James' death, dude.
It's nuts.
So hard.
I mean, it's super sad.
I mean, not only is it like her musical partner, but it's like her brother.
Yeah, no. I mean, not only is it like her musical partner, but it's like her brother. Yeah, no.
I can only imagine.
We've all kind of been there, and it's just all you got to do is just be available when people need you. You can't really push the buttons and ring too many times, keep texting, because everyone's blowing her up.
Yeah, right.
That's crazy.
Oh, man, that fucking sucks.
I know.
You got one more week, and then you have a month off, right?
One week, and then we have one show next week at Tyler Childers Festival.
What?
Who?
Oh, Childers.
Yeah, we're doing a Healing Appalachia.
It's just like a one set, and then I have eight weeks with no unfreeze shows.
Wow.
So I'm going to go yell at my kids.
Oh my god.
Let's do it over under
until when this motherfucker gets
bored of that. You going to do some city wineries
or anything?
I'm going to do something. I'm going to start
playing sax. Hell yeah, hire me
man. We should go do it.
Have you ever had eight weeks off?
Not like
off off, off.
No.
Not COVID.
That didn't count.
And your kids are at the perfect age to be super annoying the whole time.
Let's go.
Damn.
You're going to be a dad for eight.
He's going to be a dad for like 18 years
Times three
Well we know but
Yeah
That's wild
54
You got anything prepared
You gonna go like to the gym
You gonna do that 100 day

I'm just going to
I'm going to dream about you guys
And hope that I can make another podcast visit
I don't know
We got Kyle Gass now
Don't make him jealous
This is still my number one
You cannot be jealous
He has a full life Andy
I get jealous when he hangs out with his wife and family a little too much
You get jealous when he hangs out with his wife and kids
Andy
I do, I love you
I miss my B time
Well, he shouldn't be jealous
Because the door is always open
I'll come over on your 8th week
I'll give you two weeks
And then I'm going to shoot you a text
And say I'm coming my
ass over there. Coming my ass.
All right. I just
got hung over.
B, I love
you. Thanks for being on the show. I got a couple
questions for you. I'm getting older. Nick says,
do I look older than
35 years old?
Yes. God damn. Really?
I told Sam and Ben.
It was Sam and Ben.
I was talking to them
because Ben's 35.
Really?
I was like,
oh, you're born the same
because he said what year he was born.
I was like,
oh, you're the same age as Andy.
And Sam goes,
really?
Jesus Christ.
When was the first time
you saw gray hairs on your balls?
Like, I just took a piss
and I have a plethora
of gray hairs on my balls and it made me
nervous, dude.
Multiple?
I mean, the
first one was probably the night
after you and I met. So how many
years ago was that? That was six
years ago.
So you're my age.
Listen, you got to realize if
someone says you look a day older than 35,
you're still a lot younger than I am.
So you look young.
But you look young.
Like, look at you.
Yeah, you did pass for 40.
You do look like you're glowing.
Keep going.
You do look, I mean.
I think you look kind of old, actually.
I think he's just pitching your ass.
All right, go, go, go, go do your thing.
Go three for three and go have fun. Go to Utah. I, go, go, go do your thing. Go, go, go three for three and go have fun and go,
go to Utah. I love you, buddy. All right. I love you both. Be good. Bye.
Brendan Bayless. Thank God for B. Goodbye. Be safe with us. May the force be with you, Brendan.
There he goes. There he is. Our sweet angel. You think he still likes us?
You think he's over us?
He likes me for sure We were having a good time on that Friday
He might be over you
No, really?
He was saying you text him too much
I do text him a lot
He's like, here's another text from Andy
I'm just checking in on him
I'm just kidding, he didn't say that
He's my buddy, I fucking love him
Oh yes, I've known him for a long time now
I don't know how long
Out of all the bands I was telling this to Bo my buddy. I fucking love him. Oh, yes. I've known him for a long time now. I don't know how long.
Out of all the bands, I was telling this to Bo or I was telling this to
Sean. Out of all the bands, that band
has really
had my fucking back.
Like the
bigger brother bands, not the bands we grew up with.
Yeah, they kind of helped you pop off
a little. Yeah, and they just call me
and when I'm feeling sad,
they'll look at a Monday morning motivation.
He's like, uh-oh.
I think they like living vicariously
through you a little bit.
They're worried about me too.
They're like, how do you...
You're not going to be able to sustain this.
Yeah, you're not.
I've been kind of mellowing out.
Yeah, but I mean, you're just not.
I know.
Yeah, that's how the human body works. I looked at... By the way, we announced the last... I mean, you're just not. I know. Yeah, that's how the body works.
I looked at, by the way, we announced the last seven shows of our tour,
and I looked at that tour schedule.
No one should be binge drinking at any age, just to be clear.
Okay, what is binge drinking?
Like, how many drinks is binge drinking?
Can you, like, look up, like, the definition of it?
Let me find out if I am an alcoholic.
You're an alcoholic for sure.
You think I'm binge drinking?
You drink to black out.
I mean, you say, let's go
black out, so what the hell?
But like,
last night, I
just drank a half a bottle of wine.
So if you have four or more drinks on an occasion, you're binge drinking.
Oh, fuck. Okay.
Hold on.
What about how many drinks is an alcoholic?
Last night I had four.
The joke there, if you couldn't see,
is five for men, four for women.
So I guess you get eight cups of wine
in every glass bottle.
What is an alcoholic?
I definitely get eight cups of wine
every time I hang out with you.
Boom, got him.
Boom, got him.
Shut the fuck up.
Read this to me, Nick.
I can't really see this.
Some psychological mumbo jumbo. It doesn't even exist, probably.
What does that say, Nick?
Kind of like depression. It's not real.
People are just making it up.
Maybe I am an alcoholic.
I'm just kidding about that, by the way.
Okay, here we go.
The difference between casual drinking, alcohol abuse, and alcoholism. i can't read that god i need glasses too you can't read
that from there now i can yeah okay okay well yeah when it's zoomed up but you couldn't read
it when it's smaller you might want to get your eyes looked at because i'm very easily reading
that yeah 20 i used to have 20 casual drinking here i'll read it you can't read that good
casual drinking equals a few drinks with friends, having wine with dinner,
or enjoying a glass of champagne.
Okay, I do that.
Alcohol abuse. Okay, but we're starting at the...
You're like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm going to have a couple beers for breakfast.
Alcohol abuse. A pattern of drinking excessively
despite negative consequences.
For sure you do that.
That's me too.
So alcohol abuse. You's me too. Yeah.
Okay.
Yes.
So alcohol abuse.
You're already there.
Alcoholism.
A dependence or addiction.
Now that's so vague.
That is so vague.
That's what I'm saying.
I don't think I have alcoholism.
I might have alcohol abuse for sure.
What would happen if you didn't drink for a week?
Would you get shaky?
No.
Would your blood start to itch a little bit?
No.
Cigarettes, yes. You're definitely? No. Cigarettes, yes.
You're definitely just cigarettes.
Cigarettes for sure.
What's the longest you've ever gone without drinking?
I mean... You've never done like a sober October? No, I have
not. Sober Wednesday?
I've done like a sober...
Sober afternoon?
Sometimes when my stomach hurts for a week.
From drinking? You'll take a week off?
Take a week off.
So you can't really tell then because you're just still recovering.
You don't get detox-y though? You don't start to shake?
Yeah, I start to sweat.
Like they're sweating it out.
Like I'm sweating out all that fucking alcohol.
No, that's not what I'm talking about.
I don't shake, no.
I don't get the shakes.
You might not be an alcoholic. You definitely abuse alcohol.
But who hasn't sometimes? But you do a lot, I guess.
My tolerance is pretty good.
Yeah. But that means I
could be an alcoholic. Some alcoholics have a very
low tolerance, though. Oh, really?
Yeah, it's like a thing where their brain wants it so bad
they give them the effects right away from drinking it.
I read that once. Wow.
They'll feel the effects right away.
What about mushroom-holic?
How many mushrooms do I have to take a day to be a mushroom-holic?
I think it's the same...
Can you be addicted to mushrooms?
Yeah.
Because sometimes I feel like I...
You can be addicted to anything.
There's, like, a whole show about...
Like, I don't...
I never take mushrooms, really.
People that eat socks and shit.
They're, like, addicted to eat...
Yeah.
They, like, eat their...
There's all kinds of addictions.
If you want to watch what we're watching on this internet thing,
go to volume.com. Yeah. And you can watch
us learn about alcoholism
and mushroom addiction. We've got it up
on the computer. We're on addictioncenter.com and we're
wondering if we could get addicted
to psilocybin. I think about that.
I don't know if I'm addicted to pussy
actually. I don't think you can be addicted
to it physically like you can alcohol.
I like the dopamine of having cum come out of my dick.
Yeah, I think everyone ever
in the history of humanity does.
That's literally what
we're biologically built on that.
It's your body trying to get you to have kids.
That's why it feels good.
Really?
Yes, that's why it feels good.
It's like the human body
trying to get everyone
Because the whole point of
My body's getting used to
Like we're a piece of shit
Because the whole point of being alive
Is to have children, really
Like biologically
I'm like
A core thing, right?
Every species is trying to
Nah, mine is to crowd surf
Okay, shut up
Okay
Just shut the fuck up
Okay
I'm just kidding
Oh, maybe you can then.
Maybe I'm withdrawing from mushrooms.
The whole point is to reproduce.
Tell me your thought first.
Your whole thought is to reproduce.
That's biologically what we're supposed to do.
Every species is trying to grow.
That's why coming feels good.
If it didn't feel good,
we would have way less kids.
I like that.
Think how many people have gotten pregnant on accident.
That's hot. 80% of the pregnancies
are on accident of people I know.
Almost everyone I know that has a kid
is very happy they have it now, but was not
very happy when they found out they were having it.
Anyway, that's what cumming feels good.
It's to trick humans into having kids.
If we were just
looking objectively at having a kid,
you'd be like, that's a lot of work.
But if you get to come
in a vagina with no condom on,
it's pretty good.
It is pretty tight.
It's the best drug on earth.
It's like when you come
and anything is tight.
Anything, really.
I'll come in a sock and it's awesome.
That's my whole point.
Coming is tight.
Shout out to coming.
Yeah.
I mean,
yeah.
Shout out to coming.
Let's go.
I feel bad for women.
Cause they can't come that much.
Yeah.
They come all the time.
No,
but like,
I mean,
people say like,
we can't like,
no,
they can't like,
I know.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Women don't come that much Andy
Yeah
They hardly ever come
Don't they
In my experience
Women love sex
They come
You know often
What is wrong with me
What is wrong with me
Seriously
There's something wrong with me
I don't know
I'm not
I think there's something
For sure
I'm not a psychologist
But it's definitely Some sort of narcissism I'm not a psychologist, but it's definitely
some sort of narcissism.
It's not narcissism. I'm honest about it.
I'm not like being...
Hold on.
That didn't even make any sense.
You just admitted you're a narcissist.
No, but I'm honest about my flaws.
I'm not a serial killer. I said I killed him.
But I'm honest about my flaws.
Aren't narcissists only trying to pump themselves up?
I mean, a lot of narcissists don't want to admit...
I'm not saying you're a narcissist.
I'm saying it's something on that spectrum.
No, but I think I'm a narcissist some days.
And then I think like...
Well, everybody's a narcissist some days.
Or we wouldn't have social media.
Right.
Everybody's a little bit of everything.
Like, am I too much up my own ass?
Yes.
Really?
Your band is called Andy Frasco and the,
and the United Nations.
And it's just a bunch of white guys from America.
And you tour and you jump around and you,
everything has your face on it.
And you have a podcast.
It's named after you.
And.
Oh my God.
You do a selfie video every Monday
motivating other people,
which is really just you talking to yourself.
Oh no.
You're freaking out
because your Nitrous video got like 300,000 views.
Dude, our other video got a million views.
Okay, my point.
Switching instruments.
Oh, that's actually music.
That's weird. The first time our music ever got a million views. Okay, my point is switching instruments. Oh, that's actually music. That's weird.
The first time our music ever got a million
views. Look, we can all be
mediocre at four different things.
Oh, I'm
going to kill you. I'm going to fucking kill you.
No, you're not. I'm going to fucking kill you.
I need this. You never let me
do the instrument switch thing when I was on tour with you.
I did try. You only let me play keys.
I wanted to play drums and bass. You could do that too?
I'm pretty good at drums. Okay.
I'm as good as Sean. He's more
rocky than I am, but I'm pretty...
I can chop it up. Instead of me hiring
Salkin for this studio session
tomorrow, but we just get your... I'm not that good at drums.
I'm talking about the bit.
See? Narcissism.
I said I'm not that good at drums.
That's not narcissism. What's wrong with us? I don't think I'm a narcissist. I think I'm not that good at drums. That's not narcissism.
What's wrong with us? I don't think I'm a narcissist.
I think I'm a sociopath. You're more of a sociopath.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I do love watching
you when your head explodes when people
are talking over you and you're trying to pull jokes out.
They were annoying this week, weren't they?
They were talking.
It was Hank. It was the bartender right next to me.
They're all getting a little too comfortable.
You need to fucking lay down the log in.
There's too many people there that showed up halfway through and weren't playing.
Those people are always annoying.
Everyone's getting a little too comfortable.
I love when you...
Remember when you said that cum joke?
Because you were the only person...
I didn't say cum joke.
I listen to all your jokes.
I'm like, oh, he's riffing.
And then you say, I'm just riffing out here, guys.
I was like, yeah.
I had some good ones this week.
I got kind of dark.
Yeah, it was dark.
I like it when I say something dark and no one laughs because they're all new and they don't know it's a joke.
It's my favorite.
Bombing is kind of fun. Speaking of
bombing. I mean, it's definitely different
if you're a stand-up comedian to bomb.
I still have the trivia game.
Do you think Bayless is jealous I'm hanging out with Kyle Gass?
No, I made that up.
I saw his eyes.
I don't think he gives a shit at all.
He loves Tenacious D.
Everybody loves Tenacious D, but he's also a 45-year-old man with three kids.
But that's like, I consider him a very close friend.
Yes, he's not jealous.
But I get jealous when other people like... He's probably jealous because he wants to be friends with Kyle Gass, maybe.
I got jealous of...
This is the narcissism.
You think he's jealous?
Like, if he was going to be jealous, he wouldn't be jealous that you're better friends with Kyle Gass, maybe. I got jealous of... This is the narcissism. You think he's jealous? Like, if he was going to be jealous,
he wouldn't be jealous that you're better friends with
Kyle Gass than him. He'd be jealous that you
get to hang out with Kyle Gass and he doesn't.
Yeah, that's what I mean. The cool person.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
You think he's mad because
he's taking Andy time away or something.
No, he wants to be friends with Kyle Gass,
the cool, hilarious genius.
That's a feature film. I thought he was like damn
I'm never
He's not gonna get some
I don't think he's jealous either way
But if he was gonna be jealous
It wouldn't be your narcissist ass
Fucking
I want Andy to text me more
I don't think you realize
How close a relationship me and Bayless have
I realize
He's a very
I understand exactly how close you are
Anytime shit goes down with the band
Anytime I can't
I get it.
I call Bayless right fucking away.
I get that.
I still don't think he's jealous.
I need to go to therapy this time.
I'm just not qualified to diagnose anything.
God damn it, Nick.
I just need a friend.
You have a million friends.
No, I don't.
Not close.
Okay, we're done.
Volume.com.
Head over to volume.com
and check out all the awesome live streams
that are happening.
Watch the live one we did.
I thought it was great.
Our live pod's up there.
It's still up.
It's still up there?
Yeah.
Check it out.
It's really good.
I'm really proud of it.
It's a minute like 58.
That's where we start.
Yeah, I think they cut it.
So it's just our pod now.
Okay, okay.
But I thought it was better than New Orleans.
I think we're just getting better and better.
It was like 10 times better than New Orleans.
And we're going to do it again.
It felt like a real show.
And we are...
Oh, hold on.
Pregnant, what?
I've been talking about doing a podcast tour, Nick.
Where?
I don't know yet.
On my time off. We're going to do a podcast tour. That'd be fun I don't know yet. On my time off.
We're going to do
a podcast tour.
That'd be fun.
I think it'd be fun.
We'd do 10 nights.
But also,
we've been talking about
doing a residency at Ophelia's.
Kind of like Kill Tony.
That's what I want to do.
Let's do that.
Once a month?
Once a month
and once every six weeks.
But, you know,
we've got to fill 300 seats
every six weeks.
I think the more we do it,
the more people
will start coming too
And we gotta figure out
Like if there's enough guests in Denver
Now they know it's good
Well once it starts blowing up you start flying people out
Or making more money
We can afford to get your Brendan Bayless's
Your Kyle Gass's
All of Andy's best friends

Tharsis
Oh shit You are my friend I'm going to fucking kill you. But you know, Nick. Tharsis. Oh, my God.
Oh, shit.
Thank you for me.
You are my friend.
Oh, yeah.
Do we have to sing this together to know that?
I know I'm feeling a little jealous vibes from you right now.
And I got all these other famous friends.
No, I don't care.
Oh, yeah.
No, I want to be friends with Kyle Gass, for sure.
No.
I want to stab you to be friends with Kyle Gass.
No, I'm actually going to do that interview by myself now.
And I need everybody. now. You're not in everybody.
No, you're not.
No, you're not.
No, I'm going to be on that interview.

Yeah, plus me and him will get along.
It's so awesome.
He's very calm.
I like calm.
Yeah, I love calm.
I love...
He's a diehard Laker fan.
I'm geeking out about calm.
I'm not a Lakers hater,
and I know a lot about him from that show,
and I've just been writing trivia.
I just want to let you know that you are my guy.
What about Jewel?
You are my guy.
Okay.

I've become the official spokesperson
For All In Festival
The year round role I'm the spokesperson for All In Festival
Why am I jealous that I'm not invited to things
I don't know
I don't like that about me
You weren't invited to Kunj's wedding either I was I don't know. I don't like that about me. You weren't invited to
Kunj's wedding either. I was.
I was. I couldn't go.
Like you weren't.
Like you didn't even know him then, barely.
And half the things I
get jealous about going to,
I don't even want to go. Yeah, you just want
to be invited. Narcissism.
Did you get mad? That's why no one calls me or asks me to go to weddings anymore. Did you get mad?
That's why no one calls me or asks me to go to
weddings anymore. Were you one of those guys
that when your sister had a birthday, you had to get a present
too? No. Okay, good.
You sure? 100%.
Okay. 100%.
I wasn't that guy.
Oh, yeah.
I was just thinking about someone. Who was just thinking about someone Who was I thinking about?
I was hanging out with someone
I was talking to someone
And we started from the bottom of my hair now
I was talking to someone that I had interest in
What?
Like talking
We're talking a bunch on the phone
A girl
We're talking and talking
Every time I don't ask questions
about her and I just start a little bit talking
about me, just like the stuff that I'm going
through, they just get
disinterested. Yeah. Women don't want to hear
men talk about their stupid problems.
That sucks.
I guess. The world was
better when men stuffed it down though.
No,
it wasn't.
Men were harder. I couldn it wasn't. Okay.
Men were harder.
I couldn't communicate with my dad.
The suicide rate for men has actually gone up. What?
Suicide rate for men has gone up.
Why? Because they're actually
talking about their feelings now?
Isn't that fucked up? I know.
So maybe they shouldn't be in therapy. There's so much stress
being a man.
There's so much stress being a woman too. There's so much stress being a man. There's so much stress
being a woman too.
There's so much stress
being a fucking human, dude.
Especially for two men like us
not raising a family or anything.
I was looking at a dog
yesterday.
I was like looking at a dog.
Yeah, I got a real stressful life.
I was like,
damn, this dog is living
just like happy.
Like,
just like walking around
with his head up.
I'm out here
with a stomach ache.
Depression is a luxury.
Has a dog ever been depressed for longer than a day?
Experienced by the rich and the intelligent.
Yeah.
The richer you are and the more intelligent you are,
the more likely you are to be experiencing that kind of depression.
That's stupid.
I don't know, but you just have time for it.
More people are depressed, but it's like a different kind of thing. Yeah, stupid. I don't know, but you just have time for it. Poor people are depressed,
but it's like a different kind of thing.
Yeah,
they're just,
they have to work all the time.
Yeah,
it's like a luxury to be able to deal with your depression.
That's what I really mean.
Like everyone can have it,
but like poor people don't get to like go to rehab for a month.
So I was,
maybe this,
I want to see the statistic of,
you know,
there's more suicides of men,
but are they,
what about like the wealth that they have?
Are more people who are poor men
committing suicide or rich men who are
just... I don't know. Every guy I know...
I don't know. I think I've known about 8 to 10
people who commit suicide in the States. It's about half
and half. Yeah? Yeah.
Man, sadness is wild.
Yeah. You ever get
sad? Yeah, of course. I'm a person.
I know, but what What things make you sad?
I don't know. It's not really like that.
It's more just a flow of hormones.
Same.
I mean, yeah, if I see a dog dying video
or something, but that's normal.
You wake up sad?
Yeah, of course. That's pretty regular.
And then you just kind of stay sad and then you die sad.
Anyway, guys, have a great week.
I'm going to break that out.
Anyway, fantasy football.
I feel fucking great. I'm happy again.
Nothing really changed.
Maybe you enjoy being sad.
I was sad for a bit.
I like it sometimes to be sad. It feels good.
I was sad for a couple weeks. It's like a drug. It's like it. I was sad for a bit. I like it sometimes to be sad. It feels good. Yeah.
I was sad for a couple weeks. It's like a drug.
It's like a different drug on happiness.
And also, I've had a couple great weeks, but also it's because
I changed the perspective of
like, I don't need to sit here fucking
marinating sadness. I can get out there
and fucking realize shit's
not the way we want to be and just keep on
moving. You get laid?
Yeah.
I haven't gotten laid in a while.
You're fulfilling your biological imperative.
I haven't been off at 3 a.m. to go back to bed.
That's kind of weird.
That's a classic.
Yeah?
Is that a thing?
I never used to do that.
That's the Rolling Stones of jacking off.
That's the Beatles.
That's McDonald's Big Mac.
Really?
Yeah.
Really? Yeah. Really?
I think that's the hardest I've ever made you laugh.
It's true, right?
Back me up, right?
Is that something y'all do?
People jack off to fall asleep all the time.
They wake up and they're like, okay, fuck.
How do I go back to bed? Come.
Yeah.
You think you're the only person that jerks off
to go back to sleep?
Do people sleep jerk?
I don't know about that. I'm sure it happens.
They've murdered people in their sleep,
so I'm sure they jerked off.
You're going to have to get out of bed for that.
Alright, guys. We got to go.
This is such a fun episode.
Hold on.
Hold on. You're telling me.
Yes, people jerk off all the time to go to sleep.
People jerk off at the fucking...
What about work?
If you're in a relationship, wouldn't your
partner get pissed? Like, fuck, babe.
Why don't you just come on me?
Or come in me?
I don't even know if you even asked me a question there.
I can't.
Not only do I not know what you asked me,
I'm not even sure that was a question.
It was definitely like words.
I'm fucking crying.
It's like I'm playing Wordle right now or something.
I've never had a relationship.
No, you don't wake up your girlfriend
at three in the morning so she can jerk you off.
But every time I was with Jill,
every time I was with Jill,
I didn't want to wake her up with me
beating off, so I'd run into the bathroom,
come. Sure.
What? Do you think you
have some
unique experience that other people aren't having?
I'm a narcissist.
You're such a youngest mama's boy,
little bitch ass, dude.
Dude, I had...
Have you ever had... Okay, check this out.
Sometimes I'll be hungry, and I'll eat
like a meal. Do you ever do that?
That's you.
That's what you sound like right now.
I think I've just been so brain...
It's the Sears Roebuck of jacking off.
I'm trying to be less on my phone.
Yeah.
And now that I'm more present...
Maybe get back on your phone.
I'm realizing all this stuff, I guess,
other people do as well.
Yeah.
Because I normally just,
I'm on my phone doing everything.
There's like a 2% variance in people's lives
from person to person, dude.
Almost everybody's living the exact same
bullshit-esque, boring shit life.
They get up and they are mad
and they're kind of happy
because lunch is pretty good.
They like lunch and then they go,
they get tired and then they go home from work.
Then they fucking eat meal, watch TV, hang out with whoever the fuck lives in their house with them
roommates kids girlfriend boyfriend pansexual fucking orgy fest who knows then they go to bed
and they sit there and they think about all the things that they've ever said dumb in their life
or the ever embarrassed as they fall asleep then they wake up at three in the morning and they jack
off to go back to sleep and then they get up and they do it all again.
Everybody's pretty much doing the same thing, man.
So if everyone
can get through sadness, then you can get
through sadness too. So stay happy, people.
Every once in a while they get to go to Florida
for four days on some stupid vacation.
Yeah, you think you're sad? Cool.
That's okay. But everyone
else gets sad too, like Nick says.
Right? Yeah. So it doesn't matter. else gets sad too, like Nick says. Right? Yeah.
So it doesn't matter. You're going to get through the sadness.
If you don't get sad, you're probably mentally ill.
Yes. If you're just happy all the time,
I don't want to hang out with you.
That's called mania.
It's called mania.
So don't worry about it.
You're going to get through this sadness
and you're going to figure out a way
to find happiness again.
Just live again.
Keep trying to live.
One day you'll wake up and be like, oh fuck, I'm happy again.
You know who's happy all the time? James Corden.
Do you want to be like that?
Do you want to be like James Corden?
Seeing karaoke in the car, running over
old ladies.
Don't be like James Corden.
Get sad.
And go to volume.com.
Get sad.
And eat edible.
You don't want to be like James Corden.
I do got to promote some tour days before I leave.
Oh, great.
I've been buying gold chains.
I bought a gold chain.
Another one?
I bought one.
It's St. Nicholas. Is that a gold chain. Another one? I bought one. It's St. Nicholas.
Is that a Christian thing? Is St.
Nicholas Santa Claus a Christian
thing?
Is Santa Claus
a Christian thing? No, no, no.
Is Muhammad a Muslim thing? I didn't mean
like that. I meant St. Christopher.
Who's St. Christopher? He's the
patron saint of lost things, I believe.
Oh, cool. Can you Google that? patron saint of lost things, I believe. Oh, cool.
Can you Google that?
I want to see how close I was.
St. Christopher.
Pretty good trivia if I get this right.
I mean, you do it for a living.
Or travel.
Or travel.
I bet your Jeopardy game is going to be on fire.
You should go for Jeopardy.
I need to try out. I know.
It's either travel or lost things.
St. Christopher.
I got this.
It might be travel now that I think about it.
Is it Christian-y?
Am I like...
Yes.
Any saint is Christian.
Oh, really?
Jews don't have saints.
What is it?
Jews have saints.
No, they don't.
Google it and just put St. Christopher patron saint of...
There we go.
Travelers.
Yeah, it's travel.
So my second guess was right.
See?
I knew I wanted to get this for a reason.
I'm a traveler. He's protecting me through my travels.
It's very Catholic.
I like the Catholic religion. It's kind of tight.
It's not that far off of Judaism.
It reminds me of Judaism, but I like all the wooden beads.
They're the original Christians.
You know that, right? That's tight.
Any other Christian is broken off.
Same guilt. Heavy guilt.
Very into their moms.
They all love their moms like psychos.
I love my mom like a psycho.
I know, yeah.
We got tour dates.
Woo!
In 1516, Martin Luther did the great schism.
He put the 95 thesis on the Wittenberg Chapel,
and that created the first Protestants.
So until 1516, Catholics were the only Christians.
I'm going to sponsor your Jeopardy thing
and if we win, we split the money.
I don't understand how you sponsor me, but
okay. Don't you have to pay all these
fees to get in? I can afford to get to LA and get
a suit. No, I'm going to pay for it.
You don't get to just
say I'm part of your business. That's not how it fucking works.
Why not?
Because it isn't. I don't know. You need me.
Sure. You need me to pump you up all the time. Narcissist. You need me You need me to pump you up all the time

at a weed fest
we're the only band
get tickets to that
fun
all the crew
Portland, Maine
playing at some bowling alley
I don't even know
but it's like a 500 cap and that's
halfway full. You got time to buy tickets.
You're really selling tickets.
I saw the ticket sheet this week
and it bumped up. I guarantee it's because of that
million viewed fucking video.
And COVID's over.
Maybe because it's the first week of September. People are
finally thinking about fall dates.
I sold a shit ton of tickets in Cleveland on one day.
It was like, what the fuck's happening?
What?
I'm just kidding.
We're not,
it's still,
we're in big rooms.
So it's like,
now the expenses are way more.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So like,
if you don't sell it out,
sell it out.
Yeah.
They give you a small guarantee.
Yeah, yeah.
With a high percentage.
But you look cool.
You look cool in the venue.
Yeah.
Whatever.
I fucking,
the music industry's
so fucking weird, dude.
I don't know what I'll talk about. We'll talk about it later. Okay, Richmond, Virginia, October the venue. Whatever. The music industry is so fucking weird, dude. I don't know what I'll talk about.
We'll talk about it later.
Okay, Richmond, Virginia, October 11th.
Broadbury.
Broadbury.
That's almost there.
Well, you're getting to be two months away almost now.
Now we're two months away.
Month and a half, I guess.
Philly.
Playing the Broken Bowl.
That's been selling really good.
Shout out to Philly.
They always sell them.
That's a thousand cap.
And then two nights at Broken Bowl, which I was surprised
because it's the only show we're doing two nights,
two different sets.
We're actually
selling decent tickets for both of them.
New York's tough.
Two-nighters, the first night
done sell, second night sells out. New York City's
tough.
There's just so much going on.
Broken Bowl's only 800 caps, so 1,600 tickets.
I thought it was 600 caps.
No, I think it's 800. I haven't been there in a long time.
We did 1,000 tickets last year.
Are you the late show or the early show?
It's just two nights, just us.
I know, but sometimes they do... They'll probably do a DJ.
You know how they do an early show and they clear everybody out
and then there's a late show? That's a good idea.
Maybe I'll do a dance party.
All right, guys. We're done.
Everyone,
Bo's on his phone.
Everyone's out of here.
Are they good?
They're good, right?
They're DC tickets.
There's a couple duds.
You're playing the Vogue.
You're playing the Vogue in Indy.
Fairfield, Connecticut.
Fairfield's a dud.
That's a weird market, though.
People have a lot going on there.
Connecticut never shows up for us.
Really?
Yeah.
Portland, Lansing.
Portland, Lansing, all right.
Oh, Lansing's a bust.
That's our first time in Lansing.
It's a weird college town.
We've got to start getting young kids to like our show again.
Have Grizz promote you in Lansing.
Have Grizz do a post.
I'm thinking of going on tour with Boogie T or something.
Boogie T Trio.
I was thinking Taboo. Maybe that'd be a fun tour.
No, that's too musically.
It wouldn't work.
It's not enough to cross over.
I watched the football game
at his house. He loves
Louisiana teams.
He showed me his new music. It was funky.
It felt like Floozies, but with more
dubstep-y. I just feel like that's too
different. Floozies would be a good band.
Tenacious D's. Tenacious D is the band.
Come on, guys.
What game did you watch over there? LSU Florida State?
I would love to go on tour with fucking Tenacious D.
You watched LSU Florida State?
Yeah, and they got their ass smoked the second half.
Yeah, it was awesome.
Yeah, I left in the second half.
All right, guys. We love you.

It'll be in the description.
I've been fighting with Brian for a couple months.
Like, when he, you know, I don't want to, like,
I don't want him to be mad at me.
We're in a good spot.
So I'm not trying to be pissed at, make him be pissed.
So he sends me these crazy voicemails.
So give us a voicemail.
It's in the description.
My phone died.
In the description.
Go to the description on the pages and yada, yada.
All right, guys.
I love you.
Be safe.
I learned a lot today about myself.
I learned a lot that I was,

Yeah. Cool.'re hungry. Yeah.
Cool.
All right.
