Starting point is 00:00:00 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
Starting point is 00:00:33 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
Starting point is 00:01:20 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
Starting point is 00:01:38 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.
Starting point is 00:02:03 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
Starting point is 00:02:11 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
Starting point is 00:02:20 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,
Starting point is 00:02:27 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.
Starting point is 00:02:42 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,
Starting point is 00:02:48 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.
Starting point is 00:02:58 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.
Starting point is 00:03:06 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.
Starting point is 00:03:20 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.
Starting point is 00:03:36 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?
Starting point is 00:03:46 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.
Starting point is 00:04:02 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.
Starting point is 00:04:18 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.
Starting point is 00:04:31 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.
Starting point is 00:04:45 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.
Starting point is 00:04:58 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?
Starting point is 00:05:18 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
Starting point is 00:05:31 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,
Starting point is 00:05:48 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.
Starting point is 00:06:02 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...
Starting point is 00:06:14 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
Starting point is 00:06:25 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
Starting point is 00:06:41 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.
Starting point is 00:06:57 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
Starting point is 00:07:08 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.
Starting point is 00:07:23 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.
Starting point is 00:07:40 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
Starting point is 00:07:56 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
Starting point is 00:08:09 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.
Starting point is 00:08:25 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.
Starting point is 00:08:42 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.
Starting point is 00:08:57 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
Starting point is 00:09:11 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
Starting point is 00:09:27 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
Starting point is 00:09:42 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
Starting point is 00:09:58 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,
Starting point is 00:10:14 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
Starting point is 00:10:28 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.
Starting point is 00:10:44 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.
Starting point is 00:11:00 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
Starting point is 00:11:17 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.
Starting point is 00:11:31 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.
Starting point is 00:11:38 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.
Starting point is 00:11:49 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.
Starting point is 00:12:00 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.
Starting point is 00:12:15 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?
Starting point is 00:12:31 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
Starting point is 00:12:48 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.
Starting point is 00:13:14 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.
Starting point is 00:13:26 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.
Starting point is 00:13:37 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.
Starting point is 00:13:49 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
Starting point is 00:14:05 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
Starting point is 00:14:22 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.
Starting point is 00:14:31 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?
Starting point is 00:14:43 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.
Starting point is 00:14:57 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!
Starting point is 00:15:09 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?
Starting point is 00:15:24 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
Starting point is 00:15:39 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.
Starting point is 00:15:52 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.
Starting point is 00:16:09 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.
Starting point is 00:16:24 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.
Starting point is 00:16:37 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.
Starting point is 00:16:49 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.
Starting point is 00:17:06 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.
Starting point is 00:17:17 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.
Starting point is 00:17:36 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.
Starting point is 00:17:53 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?
Starting point is 00:18:14 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.
Starting point is 00:18:49 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
Starting point is 00:19:11 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
Starting point is 00:19:36 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
Starting point is 00:19:57 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
Starting point is 00:20:21 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.
Starting point is 00:20:44 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.
Starting point is 00:20:57 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
Starting point is 00:21:11 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
Starting point is 00:21:28 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,
Starting point is 00:21:43 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.
Starting point is 00:22:00 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
Starting point is 00:22:15 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.
Starting point is 00:22:37 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
Starting point is 00:22:54 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?
Starting point is 00:23:10 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.
Starting point is 00:23:26 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.
Starting point is 00:23:50 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.

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?
Starting point is 00:24:14 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

Starting point is 00:27:50 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.

Starting point is 00:28:12 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.
Starting point is 00:28:27 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.

Starting point is 00:29:21 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
Starting point is 00:29:37 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.
Starting point is 00:29:51 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.
Starting point is 00:30:05 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.
Starting point is 00:30:24 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.
Starting point is 00:30:39 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.
Starting point is 00:30:57 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.
Starting point is 00:31:08 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
Starting point is 00:31:29 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.
Starting point is 00:31:55 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.
Starting point is 00:32:06 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.
Starting point is 00:32:17 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.
Starting point is 00:32:29 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?
Starting point is 00:32:46 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.
Starting point is 00:32:59 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
Starting point is 00:33:15 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.
Starting point is 00:33:32 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.
Starting point is 00:33:41 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
Starting point is 00:33:57 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
Starting point is 00:34:14 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
Starting point is 00:34:26 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
Starting point is 00:34:37 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.
Starting point is 00:34:48 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.
Starting point is 00:35:02 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.
Starting point is 00:35:17 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.
Starting point is 00:35:33 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.
Starting point is 00:35:47 Yeah. I mean, yeah. Shout out to coming. Let's go. I feel bad for women. Cause they can't come that much. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:54 They come all the time. No, but like, I mean, people say like, we can't like, no, they can't like,
Starting point is 00:36:00 I know. Yeah. Yeah. Women don't come that much Andy Yeah They hardly ever come Don't they In my experience
Starting point is 00:36:12 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
Starting point is 00:36:21 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...
Starting point is 00:36:32 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...
Starting point is 00:36:48 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.
Starting point is 00:37:03 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.
Starting point is 00:37:18 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.
Starting point is 00:37:35 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
Starting point is 00:37:47 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.
Starting point is 00:38:04 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.
Starting point is 00:38:19 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.
Starting point is 00:38:35 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.
Starting point is 00:38:51 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.
Starting point is 00:39:02 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.
Starting point is 00:39:17 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.
Starting point is 00:39:36 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
Starting point is 00:39:50 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
Starting point is 00:40:08 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
Starting point is 00:40:17 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.
Starting point is 00:40:27 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.
Starting point is 00:40:41 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.

Starting point is 00:44:59 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.
Starting point is 00:45:16 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

Starting point is 00:45:47 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,

Starting point is 00:49:12 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,
Starting point is 00:49:28 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.
Starting point is 00:49:45 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.

Starting point is 00:50:24 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
Starting point is 00:50:37 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
Starting point is 00:51:04 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.
Starting point is 00:51:20 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.
Starting point is 00:51:35 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.

Starting point is 00:59:49 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?
Starting point is 01:00:06 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.
Starting point is 01:00:13 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.

Starting point is 01:00:38 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.
Starting point is 01:00:51 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.
Starting point is 01:01:05 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.
Starting point is 01:01:21 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.

Starting point is 01:02:08 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.
