Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey Nick, hey Andy It's Will from Northern California And uh I couldn't help but uh Overhear you guys in the last podcast Talking about Denver and you know Compared to LA and California You know how pretty much has everything
Starting point is 00:00:19 California or LA has And it just so happens you know I'm in Denver for my very first time for work this week. And I gotta say, man, you guys' fucking nitrous prices are out of control. I mean, it's like, I don't know what inflation has hit you guys out here, man, but
Starting point is 00:00:35 fucking what I pay in California is triple what you motherfuckers have to pay out here in Denver. And I don't know what fucks up with that. Also, your fucking weed is super expensive, about double to three times the amount. So, I mean, yeah, I mean, besides that, you know, Denver is pretty cool. Met some hotties over off of East Colfax the other night. That was a good time. But yeah, you know, you also see a baseball game for three or four dollars. That was pretty
Starting point is 00:01:02 awesome. So, you know, maybe next time I'm in town, we all three of us will catch a baseball game for three or four dollars that was pretty awesome so you know that maybe next time i'm in town uh we all three of us will catch a baseball game you know coke and hot dogs on me i'm not talking about the cola take care boys all right we don't see each other one more there we go we don't see each other for a long time. We lose the pace of our hearts. It hasn't really been as long. I thought about it. That tour wasn't that crazy. No. That's what I realized, too.
Starting point is 00:01:33 This was a good one. Oh, but you went to that other shit for it. You went to your friend's wedding. Yeah. And did content the whole time. I knew you were going to fucking say something about that. Andy Frasco's World Saving Podcast. I'm Andy Frasco. I'maving Podcast. I'm Andy Frasco.
Starting point is 00:01:46 Back with my co-host with the most is us winning silver in the Signal Awards. Just like Nancy Kerrigan. Just like Nancy Kerrigan. 94. Moving up. 94 Winter Olympics. Nancy Kerrigan. Silver medal.
Starting point is 00:01:59 That's us. Even though I think award shows are a fucking joke. Yeah, right. I love awards. You know how much I love trophies. I was going to say joke. Yeah, right. I want, I love award. You know how much I love trophies. I was going to say, if you got nominated for a Grammy, you would melt. I would melt. And now you're over here like, I don't like award show.
Starting point is 00:02:12 I don't know. Cause I got silver. Like, let's say. We wanted to win it. God damn it. Let's say I got nominated for some weird off-brand jazz, weird category. Okay. And you also got nominated for song
Starting point is 00:02:25 from a Chevy commercial of the year or whatever. I could see me not going to the Grammys. Because then I could tell people I didn't go. Oh, you're so edgy. Not edgy, but it's just kind of like, I don't know. I bet it sucks. The after party,
Starting point is 00:02:46 I bet, is fun. I think the Grammys would suck if you're in like a fucking really obscure category. Like the snarky puppy categories and shit? You know they used to have a polka category for a long time? Yeah. Really? And they... The same guy won it like 18 out of 25 years,
Starting point is 00:03:04 so they just kind of like quit In the 90s From like 70s to 83 One of our friends got a Grammy nomination Not say who But like they put him in the back of the fucking venue Well yeah It's by how famous you are That's bullshit
Starting point is 00:03:20 But anyway thanks for the silver award Sickles award You did it You got our money Whenever I feel like there's a crowd It was a little kind of expensive You're welcome It's funny how you have to pay for clout
Starting point is 00:03:35 Yeah, it's just a game It's to weed out so they don't get like It makes sense actually On a business level for them Because if you just let anyone, um, are you turning me down a little bit? Turn you up.
Starting point is 00:03:49 Okay. If you, uh, just put anyone, let anyone in, they would get too many applications. It's like why you have to apply to pay to apply to a college. Right.
Starting point is 00:03:57 If Harvard didn't make you pay $200 to apply, just random kids would be applying to Harvard as a joke and they'd have to go through it all day. That's a good point. And there's it all day. That's a good point. And there's so many podcasts. That's a good point. It wasn't that much. What about if it was an awards ceremony, but like the crowd voted?
Starting point is 00:04:14 That's what ours was. Yeah, I know. Oh, but you mean like a cloud applause-o-meter? Yeah, like it's basically... That's how they should do the Grammys, actually. That'd be fucking awesome. So like they come out and it's like, they're like, whatever.
Starting point is 00:04:24 Pick a category. Best, like, they come out and it's like, they're like, whatever. Pick a category. Best bluegrass record. Yeah, so it's like Billy Strings comes out. Like, they line up. They announce them all right, and then they line them up. And then a hot chick probably just stands over each one,
Starting point is 00:04:39 and everybody cheers, and they have an applause-o-meter. But it's like, it's an applause-o-meter like in Saved by the Bell where it's just a person being held up doing their arm for the thing. It's just all subjective as shit. I mean, it's subjective anyway. Who gives a shit? It's all subjective.
Starting point is 00:04:55 So we might as well just blatantly make it subjective. But we should do it all live screen. Just obnoxiously objective. By screen. That's how we should do President. Fuck it. Everybody goes to the Capitol. We all go to the Capitol. There's too many. Maybe we just each... How would we do
Starting point is 00:05:11 this? We have to have like a Vanna White or someone just like... Yeah, yeah. But how do we get everyone to screen vote? I don't like how we send in a vote. We have to vote in person. No, it has to be through audio. Who gets the votes? Maybe we just send our electoral college representatives we vote for that and then we do it that way it's a little more subjective because maybe you maybe you have more electoral
Starting point is 00:05:33 college people right maybe you got you only need 270 to win right so let's say you got 280 but maybe they're not as loud maybe you have a bunch okay i'm god i just solved the government i just solved the government hold on let me let me do this all right cook so you loud. Maybe you have a bunch of... Okay, I just solved the government. I just solved the government. Hold on. Let me do this. All right, cook. So you have this... So you have more. Let's say you have 290 and they have whatever the other one is.
Starting point is 00:05:50 That's less. You have more. So in theory, you'd win, but you fucked up and you elected like Nancy Pelosi type people again. And they're all 90. They're all 80. And they're like,
Starting point is 00:06:01 yay, good job. Hope you win. Yeah. And then all like the Republican MAGA people. Yeah, brother! They just fucking like... They're like, yay. Good job. Hope you win. Yeah, and then all the Republican MAGA people. Yeah, brother! They just nominate. Taylor Mary, G. Green, or whatever. Yeah, it's all just Sigma New guys from fucking Ole Miss and shit.
Starting point is 00:06:16 That's how we should do the president vote. So that'll inspire people to vote for younger people as their representatives. Let's use the House of Representatives, not the Electoral College, because then the vote will affect it more. So we're turning this into... That's why I should be mayor of Indianapolis, because I have ideas like that.
Starting point is 00:06:31 I agree on your idea of it, but I also do not agree on you trying to win mayor when I've basically... I've been there more than you have, actually, in the last couple years.
Starting point is 00:06:47 So I know more about Indiana. You know way more about Indiana. I went for three times last year. So do you want someone who's just going to phone it in from Denver, or do you want a mayor who's going to be there in the fucking streets? In there. Three times a year, at least, I'll be visiting your town. Three times a year.
Starting point is 00:07:03 He'll be there three times. I'm going to move there. If I'm mayor, I'm going to live in the mayor's mansion no you're not I don't think there's a mayor's mansion it's probably like a nice three-rider ranch it's like a
Starting point is 00:07:12 it's like a high window loft yeah it's like pretty good it's like 800 a month still yep so you know choice is yours Indiana
Starting point is 00:07:20 you want a guy who will just beat you down and tell your city that you're trash and get more money? I got good ideas. Or you're going to need a guy who's going to hype up. I'm going to hype up fucking Indiana. I like Indiana.
Starting point is 00:07:33 That's why I'm wearing a Cleveland hat right now. Oh, I loved seeing Halliburton go into every grocery store giving out a $50 gift card from King Soopers. That works on the people of Indianapolis, man. That's the kind of thing. That's how you win over the hearts and minds of the Hoosiers. I love seeing these old white people like,
Starting point is 00:07:47 we love you, boys. We're going to root for you. Y'all are so handsome. Y'all are so handsome, and we love you. Come here. Bless your heart. You could never, that wouldn't work for a Lakers player. People don't give a shit about that in LA.
Starting point is 00:08:00 No. Yeah. They could go around like buying homeless people houses and people be like, come on on let's get to 60 wins You know what I mean Speaking of 60 wins Our fantasy basketball draft Just drafted last night
Starting point is 00:08:13 We're cooking I have a good team I'm playing with house money man You're playing with house you were the last pick I was the 5th pick Doloff was the 1st pick I thought you were the 4th pick No no 5th Jack I was a first pick I thought you were the fourth No, no Fifth Jack That was a shitty pick
Starting point is 00:08:26 Really? I love Giannis But like the fifth is so I thought it was just Giannis Giannis, sure But the fifth pick Cares are Greek Cares are Greek
Starting point is 00:08:35 They only invented society Yeah I wish I learned Latin It'd be sick They speak Greek there though Not Latin I know but back in the day Like you said
Starting point is 00:08:43 Like they created society. I mean, Latin... They had Latin at my high school, actually. I had Latin. I left after two weeks. I'm like, I'm not going to pay attention. Every language, all the Romance languages are based on Latin, though. English is based on Latin, so is Spanish,
Starting point is 00:09:00 Italian, French. I like the Greek. They got good food. They don't put a lot of cheese in their stuff. I like that. Yeah, and it's olive oil. Have you been to Greece? I used to do my vacations in Greece by myself. Oh, yeah, that's where you wrote your manuscript.
Starting point is 00:09:13 I wrote my manuscript. I'm going to fucking find that thing. No, you're not. I'm going to read it live. I've been talking with this author. He's actually pretty cool. We might write a book. What kind of book?
Starting point is 00:09:24 I don't know yet. Probably a fiction book about my life How's that fiction if it's about your life? Well I don't want to say it's about my life I don't want to say it's about my life What's the character's name? Andy That's a biography Andrew Non-fiction
Starting point is 00:09:42 Yeah you're right I don't want to write a book anymore It's a biography, Andrew. Non-fiction. Yeah, you're right. I don't want to write a book anymore. I don't want to write a book anymore. It's like a fiction about World War II. I don't want to write a memoir about myself. I'm too young to write a memoir. Harry Truman. But I do want to write kind of like a Jack Kerouac style story of the road.
Starting point is 00:10:00 Hell yeah, bro. That's so fucking cool, man. God, Noel, I'm not doing that anymore. Whatever, I'm making a trivia point. I'm just fucking with you. You just blow my dreams up. I mean, that is so... You blow my dreams up. That's not one of your dreams. That's just something you think would look cool.
Starting point is 00:10:15 No, I want... That's not one of your dreams. It's not. You don't sit up at night thinking, what if I could write a book? You're right. It's not a dream. You'd like to say you did that, but it's not a dream. You'd like to say you did that, but it's not a dream. If it was a dream, you'd be writing all the time. I'd like to have my
Starting point is 00:10:31 road situation be documented. No, I get that. That's cool. Why don't you do a fictional book and the characters a little more loosely based on you? That's what I want to do. Yeah, but name it something else even. Maybe he's not Andy I was joking about
Starting point is 00:10:46 The Andy thing Maybe he's Derek Lagrange Derek Lagrange From Cleveland, Ohio Yeah and he's like Just a blue collar boy Take by in a van
Starting point is 00:10:56 Jacking off Every time he's alone Every time he's alone He's jacking off You can't find him He's jacking off It's just him Trying to jack off off. You can't find him. He's jacking off. It's just him trying to jack off.
Starting point is 00:11:10 I've actually been bored of jacking off. Yeah, it's not that great. No, it's not that tight anymore. I don't feel that good, actually. I don't know. I was just so addicted to it because I just had it in my brain, like, do that and then relax and go to bed. It's a soothing mechanism.
Starting point is 00:11:25 Yeah. Yeah, but everything's boring. Everything's boring. It's just the older you get, everything's just so stupid and boring. I know. I try to get into TV shows, and I just, like, lose interest
Starting point is 00:11:37 after fucking, like, fucking one episode. Yep, they're all fucking stupid, too. Everything's so boring. Right. People say life's short. I don't know about that, man. I'm, like, halfway done. It's like, what too. Everything's so boring. Right. People say life's short. I don't know about that, man. I'm like halfway done.
Starting point is 00:11:48 It's like, what the fuck, dude? Like, they're making another... We're not even halfway done. They're doing another Frasier. That's why we got to... So fucking stupid. They are doing another Frasier. I'm trying not to use the monitor so much, but goddamn.
Starting point is 00:12:01 It's not a monitor. It's a soundboard. You're right. I just like, yeah, but also. Who's going to watch the new, who's watching this shit? Why are you watching the new Frasier? Don't watch it. I hate Frasier so much.
Starting point is 00:12:13 Why do you hate Frasier so much? Oh, isn't that peculiar? That's what Frasier is to me. Niles, come over here. Look at this. Is this burnt? I think that's. That's my impression of Frasier.
Starting point is 00:12:24 But that's all that fucking 90s sitcom. Do you think I burned it? No, Friends wasn't like that. Friends was like... Hell yeah. Friends was way more goofy. It was just hotter. There were hotter people than Frasier.
Starting point is 00:12:32 Frasier's other... No, Frasier tried to be smart, but it's like, you're a sitcom. You have a laugh track. You can't be smart and tell people when to laugh. But like, Jennifer Aniston was just super hot. I don't like Friends either, so I'm not going to defend that.
Starting point is 00:12:43 Damn it. I only like Seinfeld. I don't fuck with Friends. My sisters love Friends. I was like friends either So I'm not gonna defend that Damn it I only like Seinfeld I don't fuck with friends My sisters love friends I was like It's not that tight Ross is a piece of shit Human being
Starting point is 00:12:50 Yeah He like has a kid I guess He saw him four times In eight years Like how does everyone Like still become friends When you have like Four hot people
Starting point is 00:12:58 In an apartment They're all gonna fuck each other And hate each other afterwards They kinda did all fuck each other Didn't they But they didn't hate each other They loved each other still Oh yeah that's not real It's fake as fuck each other, didn't they? But they didn't hate each other. They loved each other still. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:05 That's not real. Fake as fuck. And they still live together. If you're gonna live out there and shit where you sleep, eventually everyone's gonna fucking hate each other. Have you ever watched
Starting point is 00:13:12 those YouTube clips where it's like friends but they take the laugh track out? No. It's so fucking bad. I mean, it's not funny at all. Yeah. It's weird how a laugh track
Starting point is 00:13:22 can do that. I'm just kidding. You don't have one? I don't have a laugh track. We do that too. That's what's funny about it. We literally It's weird how Laugh Track can do that. I'm just kidding. You don't have one? I don't have a Laugh Track. We do that too. That's what's funny about it. We literally do the podcast version of that and I'm making fun of it. Seinfeld ruled. Seinfeld ruled.
Starting point is 00:13:34 There's good sitcoms. Curb Your Enthusiasm ruled. Is that a sitcom though? I wonder if that's a sitcom. That's not a sitcom. Because it's like the way it's shot and stuff. Coach ruled. I've been watching Coach a little bit. I fucking loved Coach. It's cool. It's actually, I mean, it holds up. It's not a sitcom. Because it's like the way it's shot and stuff. Coach ruled. I've been watching Coach a little bit. I fucking loved Coach. It's cool. It's actually, I mean, it holds up. It's not as funny, like,
Starting point is 00:13:49 but in a good way. Because those 80s sitcoms, they tried to have a story more. It was more like a little 22-minute play every week. Right. And there's still a laugh track sometimes, but it's not as constant. And it's after a joke. And Jerry Van Dyke is goddamn hilarious. The old guy. He is so funny in that show.
Starting point is 00:14:05 I forgot how... He won't even say words. He'll just mumble something and you're laughing your ass off. It's so weird how funny he is. It's good. And it's about football, so I like that. Do you think the reason why we're just so bored with content is because there's so much content?
Starting point is 00:14:18 Right, but there's so much content, right? So that means it's worse, too. We're in the shallow end. We're in the kiddie pool. Yeah. It's just like nothing's... It's so hard get find good content because there's so much shitty content people are like nothing's making money it's like because you're making too much shit if you make 80 things that don't make money the 20 things that make do make money don't make up for that put more money into stuff that's gonna make money but our brains are changing
Starting point is 00:14:40 and you need to have new shit all the time no i'm not blaming not blaming. And also, I'm not even blaming whoever makes this shit. It's like the same people that get mad at the media for only showing certain things. Well, that's what people are asking for. It's a business. It's supply and demand. You're demanding this, they're supplying it. So if you want different shit, watch different shit.
Starting point is 00:15:00 So you're saying I should start enjoying beating off again? Yeah, why not? Okay. You should put ads during a jerk-off session somehow. That'll income. You could find some way to get someone to sponsor you jerking off. It's only fans. No, I mean like sponsor it. Your fans?

When everyone, this is one thing about LA, which was so funny. I'll tell you, I think you'll love this shit. All the speeches are made by actors. Oh my God, yes. So you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:17:00 So everyone, or a comedian. I would have had a heyday at this thing. They have a mode they get into. Musicians are annoying too in a different way. Oh yeah. We're like, we all hate ourselves.
Starting point is 00:17:09 I love when, we're like too down on ourselves and they're the other way. Yeah. Man, they have high tech drugs in Los Angeles now. I mean,

Starting point is 00:17:42 Why? Because you're hot? Because... Because you got more famous than me. I was the first one to call off his bullshit. Oh, I don't know his personality. I've known him since November. What the fuck? Do you have another thing going on in the back of your head? This is why I can't smoke weed. It's like a ticker at the bottom of CNN.
Starting point is 00:17:59 Is that what's going on in your mind right now? No, it's just when I smoke weed, it's hard for me to concentrate. You called Adam Denver and then you called the year November. So you're obviously thinking about something you have to do in Denver. Long December. Yeah, what I'm thinking... I should do a fucking jam. I'm thinking about the Ogden show on January 26th.
Starting point is 00:18:16 We're playing the Ogden people, Denver, Colorado. I should do an organ trio version of that song. That'd be cool. I might do that actually. Anyway. While I'm thinking about that, January I might do that, actually. Anyway. While I'm thinking about that, January 26, Denver, Colorado. We are playing at the Ogden. 10th Mountain?
Starting point is 00:18:31 With 10th Mountain Division, our boys, Cooney. Yeah, we do have a lot to talk about. We've got to talk with the crews. We've got to talk about touring. So come on out, and we'd love to see you there. No, what I was saying with Mintz. I did get a little jealous that he got super famous when he was in junior and high school. But that wasn't the reason.
Starting point is 00:18:51 He was back lucky a little bit too. No offense. Because we were homies when it was early years. Like 19, he flew out to New York. We hung out. He stayed in my pad in Brooklyn when he got super famous and he couldn't even get outside. Like every time he went everywhere. I mean, he was like the guy.
Starting point is 00:19:06 We were in the New York Times for having a fake ID and brought it to some diner. And they called us out. That hipster-ass Williamsburg. It's kind of funny because he can't. That's like what his character did. Oh, I didn't think about that, yeah. And then he's doing it in real life.
Starting point is 00:19:22 But we were cool. And then we kind of squashed the beef a little bit. I squashed the beef with my boy Hunter, too. A lot of them are just working out their own shit. Yeah, they are. Everyone has an ego in LA. So everyone's kind of... They protect theirs.
Starting point is 00:19:35 So they talk shit about everyone else. So everyone's just fucking talking shit to each other. So they protect their own. Because the minute you start stabbing them... But they can't take it back. They can't take it back. That's why I like the Midwest. We can take it. Our parents did it. That's why I like the Midwest. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:45 We can take it. Our parents did it. That's why I'm excited to go to Boston. Boston. Draft Kings. I can't believe Draft Kings is flying us out there. Yeah, I love gambling. I'll read ads for four hours.
Starting point is 00:19:57 We got to go in there because they're playing the Bills. We have to roll in there. I'm going to deck out in all Los Angeles. You are? All Laker. I'm going to deck it out. Is that annoying? Probably.
Starting point is 00:20:07 Probably, but who cares? Who cares? Bo is going to deck out in Buffalo Bills. I need to get more... Bills, Patriots really hate each other too, right? Is that a rivalry? I'll wear my Browns hat. Then you just wear your Browns hat. That's a cool hat though.
Starting point is 00:20:17 That's a sick hat. Yeah. But no, I mean, it's like, you're like, yeah, go Brown. You're like... I don't know. The quarterback's kind of... I know. He's a little... Defense is killing though. I'm rooting, go Browns. I don't know. The quarterback's kind of... I know. He's a little... Defense is killing, though. I'm rooting for the Browns defense.
Starting point is 00:20:28 They're the best defense in the NFL right now. So anyway, it's going to be fun. We're going to go out there for 24 hours. I love the Browns. I don't get too crazy about my teams. It's just like... I don't want to get a parasocial relationship with it. Do you think DraftKings will be pissed
Starting point is 00:20:44 if we're going to all roll in there? Because they're giving us the box. We're going to meet all the owners. I don't think they support one team at DraftKings. Oh, yeah. I forgot the gambling website. But they are from Boston. They invited us into their box.
Starting point is 00:21:05 And we're hanging out with them. So do we have to be appropriate? Or can we black out and start talking shit? I think that's what Boston people do. Yeah, that's the thing. One of the best shows we had on the tour was Boston, Massachusetts. Yeah, they love you there, ironically. It's fucking awesome.
Starting point is 00:21:19 Because they can handle shit talk. Well, the rivalry is fun. It's like a good thing. Neither of you have been that good. Yeah. I told them since the 80s, you know, so. I said, I wish I could see Fenway Park, but I forgot it's October. And they fucking hated that. Yeah, but they,
Starting point is 00:21:33 that's not, I mean, even true. Yeah, but like, you know, they've won like four championships in the last 20 years. It's like, you know, you really got us. The Dodgers blow it more than the Red Sox do. What? You LA teams, you love those COVID championships Shut the fuck up I'm thinking, you know, I've been
Starting point is 00:21:50 Because I was like, I love the East Coast so much This whole tour of the Northeast was fucking amazing Portland, Oregon Or Portland, Maine, fucks Yeah, I haven't been there, it's like one of the cities I haven't been to That was a fucking great city Cleveland, Ohio, dude Yeah, they go crazy there
Starting point is 00:22:05 Kyle Gask flew out I saw that, that's cool No he said he didn't want to But we have something planned for next year Nice, is that what I think it is? Yeah, it's going to be awesome, I can't announce it yet I know but it's an obvious thing Yeah, obvious thing
Starting point is 00:22:21 And then But you know what town I would low-key move to? Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Certain parts of it It is Okay There's still a lot of heroin and drugs Yeah, there's that one
Starting point is 00:22:35 Killings Yeah, have you seen the videos of that Kensington stretch? Yeah, it's like heroin It looks like The Wire, like Amsterdam and The Wire I kind of want to live near that area I want to live in Fishtown. No, but yeah, that's where a lot of Lotus guys live around there.
Starting point is 00:22:49 I'd buy a house in South Philly and just have like a Denver pad and a East Coast pad. It's probably not that bad. They said it's not that expensive. Probably cheaper than here. But we played during the Phillies game. God, I love Philadelphia fans. They're apeshit about baseball. Everybody hates them, but I like it. It's cool. Yeah, I agree. I think they're one of the coolesties game. God, I love Philadelphia fans. They're apeshit about baseball. Everybody hates them, but I like it. It's cool.
Starting point is 00:23:05 Yeah, I agree. I think they're one of the coolest fan bases. I like that they threw batteries at Santa Claus. I like that it's equal opportunity. I like that the city of Philadelphia has to grease up their poles because people are going to climb the poles. Like, it's a playoff
Starting point is 00:23:21 game, guys. You don't need to climb a goddamn pole or eat horse shit. Do you hear about that? They are eating horse shit and shit. What? They're eating horse shit. Bo, can you Google?
Starting point is 00:23:34 Yeah, Google this. Everybody's eating horse shit? There's a video of a dude just after celebrating some Eagles win. Oh my God. They saw the police horse and just grabbed it and started eating horse shit.
Starting point is 00:23:48 I fucking love that about a fan base. I want fans like that. I do kind of have fans like that. Your fans are super trashy. You're right. Shut the fuck up. No, I don't think
Starting point is 00:24:00 Philly fans are trashy. I don't either. I don't know. You could argue that eating horse shit is kind of trashy. I don't either. I don't know. I think they're passionate. You could argue that eating horse shit's kind of trashy. I think you could make a pretty good argument. Not every fan's eating horse shit. I think one guy ate horse shit, and now they're the horse shit fan base.
Starting point is 00:24:17 That's kind of how it works. What's it say, Bo? Eagles fan literally eats horse poop after Super Bowl win. That's why I love Philly. Let's go, Philly. You're dedicated and I love it. You're dedicated and I fucking love it. That's the shit. Yeah, shout out

Starting point is 00:24:46 But I'm not a poop No I'm not a poop I can't smell I can't stand the smell of urine When people throw up from something That makes me laugh so hard though Yeah I like the idea of being like
Starting point is 00:24:54 So emotionally something That you throw up Or like something being so funny You throw it And for you know How much I shit talk About the city of Boston It actually is
Starting point is 00:25:03 A fucking really cool city It's okay It's not my favorite, to be honest. I'm excited to have one night there. Packy's in town. We're going to go blackout for a little Saturday. Who's Packy? Packy owns the chicken box. I should hit up all my homies from Nantucket. Yeah, but it's

Starting point is 00:26:44 I just wanted to talk about it. No, no, no. Maybe my fans want me to hear about my life, but every time I try to throw something at you, it's like, no, I don't care. That means my fans don't care for this podcast. That's not what I'm saying. That's not what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:26:56 I'm saying you probably have friends who are like, don't hang out with her. Yeah. I don't care. That's what I'm saying. That's cool that you hung out. Who cares is my point. I care that you have a life. I don't care. I just want to be friends with people.

Starting point is 00:27:06 I just want to be friends with people I'm telling you that I don't care I'm on your side is what I'm saying And you turned it into some weird thing You just never want to talk You just want my fans Every time I lob ball you something to talk about You're like nah we're not having that on the podcast
Starting point is 00:27:21 No but what I'm saying is Don't listen to your friends that say don't hang out with people. I have HPV. Everybody has HPV. See, same again. See, you don't want to talk about it. I can literally say anything. Okay, do another one.

Starting point is 00:27:53 I don't want to talk about it anymore. Anyway, we have tour dates. We're going on the Bert Kreischer cruise. You're coming with us on a comma. See you a lot. These two weeks. I know.
Starting point is 00:28:02 Bert Kreischer. We're the house band for the Bert Kreischer. And we're judging. And we're judging a Speedo contest. Burt wants to show off his delts or whatever. Yeah, that's your shoulders, right? He's got good shoulders. Have you seen him lately? He takes off his shirt and he does that thing
Starting point is 00:28:16 with his, you know, how you like push your shoulders together to get like a fucking whatever muscle here showing. It's looking good. Isn't that traps too? I don't know. But anyway, your neck looks good, Bert.
Starting point is 00:28:29 I think delts are your like shoulders and traps are like the trip. Looking good. So we're doing that for five days. We got Andy Westby coming on that trip too. Shorgasm?
Starting point is 00:28:39 Shorgasm. And Andrew Cooney is going to be the bass player because Floyd can't do it. Shorgasm is going to be on the cruise? Yeah. Oh, nice. It's going to be a fucking fun because Floyd can't do it. Shorgasm is going to be on the cruise? Yeah. Oh, nice. It's going to be a fucking fun-ass trip.
Starting point is 00:28:47 No girls either. I told no wives. What? I said no wives. This is a dude's trip. Burt Kreischer would only want this one way. Yeah, that's true. It's a dude's trip.
Starting point is 00:28:57 He likes the ladies. I know. But in my own brain, boys, we're going to have a bond. It's going to be a bonding. Don't listen to them when they tell you not to hang out with your exes Listen to me Do what you want to do Andy
Starting point is 00:29:09 I wasn't even sexual it just went out That's what I'm saying I know what you're saying You're missing the point that I'm on your side I know what you're saying Nick Well then acknowledge it You are my everything I'm not your everything.
Starting point is 00:29:25 I'm just saying, don't listen to other single people. No, they're all married. Oh, but definitely don't listen to married people. Who am I going to listen to? Me. I'm right in the middle.
Starting point is 00:29:34 I'm like, okay. I know how to, you know what I mean? So let me pitch these tour dates before, and then we can keep talking. Thank you. After we go on the cruise,
Starting point is 00:29:44 so that's from the 20 cents with 31st. I think there's a couple cabins left, but if you want to ball out, I mean, it's going to be expensive. So my fans, if you don't want to do that, you should be buying frasco tickets.
Starting point is 00:29:55 If you're going to do the money, if you're going to do the Bert cruise, you would have got them by now. True. Cause you got to get flights in two days. It's going to be expensive. So fly out to the other days, Nashville.
Starting point is 00:30:04 We're playing Brooklyn Bull on November 2nd. Asheville, North Asheville. Do I need to give you the Rocky pump up? Asheville, North Carolina. We're not playing inside this time. They bumped us up to the 3,000 camp amphitheater. And we need you.
Starting point is 00:30:20 Two flamingos and us need you. So don't pretend like you're not going to go and then buy a thousand plus tickets at the door. Just make me feel good. If you buy tickets, tell me you bought tickets and I'll waive a ticket fee for our merch. We'll give you a percentage of merch. Okay? Wow.
Starting point is 00:30:36 Alright. I want to sell it out. Salvage Station? I was looking at the numbers. I'm like, damn, this is embarrassing. Salvage Station? Yeah. I like that venue. Because we could sell it out. We could sell it indoor with the tickets we have sold now. But indoors, we put our dick out there and said, we're going to the amphitheater.
Starting point is 00:30:51 Do you think people are holding off to see how the weather is going to be? I just think people aren't buying tickets right now. I know, but there is a weather aspect to this because it's November. Oh, yeah. And it's outside. So maybe they're like, I'm going to wait to this because it's November. It's outside. I'm going to wait to see how the forecast is.
Starting point is 00:31:09 We're just moving inside. I know, but guys, don't wait. Just get the ticket. It's okay. Wear a jacket. It's not that cold. November 4th, we're going to Atlanta, Georgia. Variety Playhouse. That's actually selling really good. We're almost sold out there. Come on out.
Starting point is 00:31:23 How big is that? 1,000? 1,100. And then November 5th, we are in Raleigh, North Carolina at the Lincoln Theater. I love the Lincoln Theater. That was cool. I played there with you that one time. It was sick. I like Raleigh, actually. Yeah. General. I loved it. And then we are flying
Starting point is 00:31:37 to London. Man, I got first class. Let's fucking go. My first time, first class. That's good for international. Yeah. You know, you gamble with it when you do those United true points. What? You just like... How does that work for United? So I'm at like 1K. I'm like at the highest.
Starting point is 00:31:54 So like I buy economy ticket and then I have to... Because I'm at 1K, they give you the like special true point, pump up points. So I said... So I gave 60. That's the highest you could do. Oh, you can like, but you might not get them and they're gone if you don't get them.
Starting point is 00:32:09 No, they give you back the points. But I got the upgrade. Oh, but the gamble is you didn't just buy the ticket. Yeah, the gamble is you could just spend the extra $1,000, $2,000, but no. If you're going to spend money, spend them on dialed-in gummies. Dialed-in gummies! Buy yourself some dialed-in gummies.
Starting point is 00:32:25 The best gummies on the planet. I haven't talked to those guys. I talked to Keith yesterday. They're good. We'll give the real pitch because I really want to see what they're up to. November 7th, we fly to London. Oh, you're doing more dates. I just want to finish up this.
Starting point is 00:32:39 I know you're pumping the Europe dates. Yeah. We got to sell tickets. London. I don't have a lot of friends in London. I don't know anything about London. I went once to chase a girl. My mom's from there.
Starting point is 00:32:51 I hung out with her for two days. She was very... She let me sleep over, but we slept in different rooms. I like that. I like her. Respect. That's fucking badass.
Starting point is 00:33:02 And then... Was she British or was she just a little bit? British. Super British. And she was cool. We's fucking badass. And then... Was she British or was she just a little bit? British. Super British. And she was cool. We went out and had a couple beers and they love like the disco. Yeah, that's how they do electronic music in Europe. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:16 I didn't like how... Techno. Techno. The cigarettes were $13 for half a pack. For 10 cigs. Isn't that kind of where New York City's heading? Yeah. But then we lost touch.
Starting point is 00:33:27 So maybe I'll see her again. But I think she's married. I hope they bring the husband because I still want to be friends with her. She was cool. I like British people. You didn't touch her, obviously. There's nothing weird. But you know, sometimes you don't want to
Starting point is 00:33:42 bring your husband to your old self. Being him. Yeah, I get it. Bring your husband to your old self. Like being him. Yeah, I get it. You know what I'm saying? You want to see this band I saw 10 years ago? Yeah. It was like 10 years ago.
Starting point is 00:33:54 I kind of had a thing with the guy up there. Yeah. Yeah. Everybody's cheering for. Yeah. Not good. November 9th, Utrecht,
Starting point is 00:34:03 Netherlands, the land, uh, uh, Saks Gate. You better fucking put a picture up of that guy I will He's gonna try to come He looked super Dutch I wouldn't even know what he looked like From seven other Dutch dudes
Starting point is 00:34:18 But we have his ID He gave us his ID and his name That's the fucking thing He gave us his info and then just ghosted. Anyway. So if you don't know the story, Nick broke his sacks. Whatever. We don't have to do that again. Oh, you're pissed about it still. No, I'm not mad about it.
Starting point is 00:34:33 It's just like they don't want to hear about my... Okay. So come out to Utrecht and if you want to... It's during... I mean, I know a lot of Americans... Okay, here's what happens. I know a lot of Americans are in Europe for that because Goose is in town
Starting point is 00:34:48 and Goose is on tour and Billy Strings is on tour. So Americans if you want to have an extra couple days if you got nothing to do, come on out. November 9th, Utrecht, Netherlands November 10th, Bomberg Bomberg is always fun, right Nick? That was my favorite city I think.
Starting point is 00:35:03 That's almost sold out. Or Utrecht. Bomberg is almost sold, right, Nick? That was my favorite city, I think. That's almost sold out. Or Utrecht. Yeah, Bomberg's almost sold out in the 10. Same venue? Same venue. It's a cool venue. Live club's great. So if there's Americans out there, you want to go down to southern Germany

Starting point is 00:35:31 in Lubeck. It's really cool. Rolling Stone puts on this festival in Germany. And they put on all these bands that they think are the next up-and-coming bands. And I'm thankful that they
Starting point is 00:35:40 asked Goose and I to do it. Are you going to mention that you're above them on the flyer? And we're on top of the flyer. Wow. I love you, Goose. They seem really mad about it. Give me this win. Give me this win. Frasco, top of Germany. This is my country.
Starting point is 00:35:58 They seem like they're super worried about it. We sold out two nights at Red Rocks last month. Do you think being a Jew in Germany during all what's going on right now, do you think that's as bad as like going to the Middle East? No, because they are allies now. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:12 But there's still Nazis out there. Nazis in fucking everywhere. You're right. Okay. I was a little nervous about that. Well, you're only one way to find out. Well, good luck. Maybe wear a hat.
Starting point is 00:36:23 And then next, the following week, November 14th, Harlem, Netherlands. We're only doing two nights. Oh, wow. This tour is easy. It's like we're only doing
Starting point is 00:36:30 Netherlands and Germany. Those are the best ones, I thought. Harlem, Netherlands. That show's almost sold out as well. Harlem?
Starting point is 00:36:38 Harlem. Like the same spelling? Yeah. That's where, they're Dutch. I forgot about that. New York's like super Dutch. Then we're going back to Appledorn.
Starting point is 00:36:46 You never went to Appledorn. That tour is going to be fun. Appledorn, they're fucking crazy Dutch people because they're like in the middle of the Netherlands. And the actual Holland, like the actual the marsh. It's fun as fuck. So the 15th. And then I'm going to Japan for
Starting point is 00:37:01 eight days. For what? I'm trying to be a good uncle. So I'm taking my niece and nephew to Japan. Just you and them? Yeah. And maybe my sister. And my sister's going too. You might want to have your sister around.
Starting point is 00:37:14 Okay. Yeah. But it's like, this is our time to bond. I don't know if it just should be Andy and his... Yeah, that's not... I mean, no offense. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You don't want to do that.
Starting point is 00:37:22 No, no, no. Yeah. I wouldn't do... I'm also bringing Taylor Garrigan from Home Team Barbecue. So I'm going to go hang out with the kids during the day and then I want to go do the fucking blackout
Starting point is 00:37:32 Japanese fucking bar scene. Japan seems amazing. It's going to be awesome. So me and Taylor are going to go. I went with the band and it was a lot of fun, but now I get to do all the kids stuff too. I go to Disneyland. What's Home Team Barbecue?
Starting point is 00:37:47 It's the biggest barbecue restaurant in Charleston. He won Chopped. I don't watch any of that stuff. The top chef. So he's a badass. He's a fucking badass. So we're going to do a Japanese dinner. He probably knows all this shit too.
Starting point is 00:38:00 Yeah, we're going to go learn how to cook rice. Oh, it's over Thanksgiving. Yeah. Okay. So that'll be fun. And then I'm back. And then we start our fucking December tour. So I'm on tour for two and a half months, Nick.
Starting point is 00:38:13 That's what you like. I know, but after two weeks, you're like, you missed me. I know. I was ready to do this again. I know. I like doing this. It's like fun. I know.
Starting point is 00:38:22 I was just thinking. I always think about you like. You need me to tell you you're a little bitch sometimes. Yeah, that's true. People are getting more sycophantic with you, I'm noticing. What? Do you know what a sycophant is? It's like a fan that's a little too invested.
Starting point is 00:38:36 They won't... Let's say a Taylor Swift fan is a sycophant. If you make fun of them in any way, they automatically defend you. Even if you're right. I'm noticing that more when I get after you in the comments a little bit. Even if I'm on point,
Starting point is 00:38:52 I'll get someone to be like... But it's cool. It's good for you. My fans, dude. It's nice. Sycophants. It's like a cult thing. I really felt like our fans are becoming more diehard. This fall tour was wild. Yeah, they're more indie. This is
Starting point is 00:39:08 actually a compliment. I'm really bad at it. Now they're coming because they're into indie frasco. I think two years ago they were coming because they heard it was an amazing party. Now people know the words and shit, right? I'm going to cry. Okay, good. Yes!
Starting point is 00:39:21 Sometimes I try to compliment you. I love our fans. Sometimes I try to compliment you and you think I'm insulting you. No, no, no. I! Well, sometimes people are like, sometimes I try to compliment you. This is awesome. I love our fans. Sometimes I try to compliment you and you think I'm insulting you. No, no, no. I know what you're complimenting me. Like, people used to go, which is good.
Starting point is 00:39:31 I mean, they heard it was a good party and they're like, let's check this out. And then they liked it. So now, like, people are like, I feel like they know the words. Yeah. Which is cool.
Starting point is 00:39:39 Nick, I've really missed you. Yeah. All I had to do was say one nice thing. I fucking called you a say one nice thing. I fucking called you a fucking for two hours. And then I'm like, you're getting a little more famous.
Starting point is 00:39:50 You're like, I will suck you. Do you want some, can I give you two grand? Am I going to get paid for the cruise now? You can bleep out me saying. Okay. I don't really care if you do though
Starting point is 00:40:05 No, I will It's kind of funny in that moment Should we talk about our sponsors a little bit? Please Dialed in gummies We love them I just had I finally got home
Starting point is 00:40:17 Because I I ran out of them And I always try to ask Keith for Like them to ship them to me He's like nope It's illegal it's illegal. They can't, it's illegal. It's illegal.
Starting point is 00:40:26 Dowling's very good at not breaking the federal law. So I've been eating these kind of trash edible gummies. Ew. And I didn't realize, and I've realized how good Dowling gummies were after I was putting trash edibles in me. Really? You noticed a huge difference? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:40 I haven't gone back to even do a control experiment. I felt the major difference. I felt real more cracky on the other stuff. Yeah, it makes sense. Because like, I don't know, something in the rosin in these. Yeah, they're not. They have solvents in them. Solvents.
Starting point is 00:40:56 Chemicals. Yeah, it's nice. So get yourself some dilating gummies if you're in the Colorado area. Yeah, exactly. They still taste like, you know, tree. Yeah. Dilating gummies actually taste like a nice gummy. Yeah. So grab yourself some dilating. Damn, exactly. They still taste like, you know, tree. Yeah. Dollar gummies actually taste like a nice gummy.
Starting point is 00:41:07 Yeah. So grab yourself some dollar. Damn, that was a good pitch. That was a genuine pitch. I like them. I eat them all the time. They're my favorite food. I got to hit Keith with...
Starting point is 00:41:16 My favorite food is dollar gummies. But I do love it. Yeah. So if you want to get some, if you're in the Denver area, this is like, I think this is the perfect time to come to Denver
Starting point is 00:41:25 To be honest Because it's kind of Best weather, the leaves are changing My house looks fucking beautiful right now I'm so excited I love this time of year Yeah, it's the best And it's like little bricks, you can wear a little jacket
Starting point is 00:41:36 It's the best concert for this time of year, kind of Yeah, everyone comes to Denver in October, November So, yeah Get yourselves, go ahead, come at Denver. Airbnb in my house, if you want. December is wide open, people. Really? Why?
Starting point is 00:41:51 It's still a month or two away. Yeah, normally I just get bookings like three months in advance. Now everyone's like booking one month in advance. Uh-oh. The economy's dying. Or the economy's getting better, so they're waiting longer
Starting point is 00:42:01 because they don't care about it being cheaper. No, I think it's dying. You're probably the same price no matter how far it is. I see that with ticket sales, too. I thought ticket sales were better. They're doing good, but I look at my other peers' shows sometimes and like, don't even say it. I know what you're going to say.
Starting point is 00:42:18 What are you going to say? I like when you use words. This is funny. You nailed it that time. You stuck the landing on Piers. Anyway, go to your thing. And I think everyone's struggling with ticket sales. Oh. Because I think there's like the Taylor Swift, the Zach Bryans, the Billy Strings.
Starting point is 00:42:36 They charge so much for their tickets. I know, you fuckers. And that they're not going to pay $20, $30 during the week. To be fair, it's not all them. It's also the companies putting on the shows. And the ticket fees. Ticket fees are insane. Yeah, it's like a $30 ticket is really a $50 ticket.
Starting point is 00:42:54 If you're lucky. I think it's like $30 sometimes. And it's all like the... What's the fee for? What does it go to? I don't understand. I got a conspiracy. Speak your truth. I got a conspiracy. Speak your truth. I love a good
Starting point is 00:43:08 conspiracy. I don't know. I don't want to assume, but I think this is how the promoters make their extra dokes. They can't make any back-end off shows anymore because the agents are just hammering to get the best deal. I feel like they make
Starting point is 00:43:24 money now off of the ticket fees. $14 on 20,000 tickets? They're probably not going to get 14. They'll probably get 7. Because they've got to split it with whoever. LN or AEG or whatever. Or they split it with the ticket fee company.
Starting point is 00:43:37 Right, that's what I'm saying. There's too many fucking people. Too many middlemen. We need a clean house. I have this account. I'm not a communist, but I fucked up my account. Oh, really? Go with what you're saying. I'll tell you. There's just too many companies out there that are just
Starting point is 00:43:54 creating a product that isn't necessary. You know what I mean? It's just too many cooks in the kitchen, basically. I agree. This is one thing I fucking hate about the music industry. Everyone's taking a little cut. Yep. A little cut.
Starting point is 00:44:07 A little cut. A little cut. Everyone's getting their cut before the band even sees any fucking money. Why is everything off the gross? I don't agree. I agree with you too. Why is it off the gross? Almost nothing.
Starting point is 00:44:19 I don't know. I mean, I worked in sales for 10 years before I got into like being a full-time musician. Everybody else commissions you off profit margin because that's the value you actually create. Why the gross? They could... You know what I mean? Yeah, I agree. Because their job is to get you as much...
Starting point is 00:44:37 It's like a personal injury lawyer. Yeah. A personal injury lawyer doesn't get paid unless you get... They only get paid off the money you make on top of your bills. Right. Your medical bills. Why isn't everyone else like that?
Starting point is 00:44:49 Why do they get 15% of your bills? Yeah. That's fucked up. We spent $14,000 on hotels in two weeks. But whoever still gets 15%. They still get 15%. I'm not knocking Brian here. It's industry standard.
Starting point is 00:45:06 I'm not either. They deserve the money. It's not as bad as managers. That's the manager. If we're business partners, we should be taking the net. It's like the merch fees thing.
Starting point is 00:45:22 Why do you get 30% of the gross in merch fees? Live Nation or whoever. They did get rid of it at some venues, but not really. I do have to say thank you to Live Nation for giving us an extra fucking four grand. Yeah. Everyone's bitching about it.
Starting point is 00:45:38 You know, it's all... It's probably just a tax write-off or something. I don't know. But who cares? Who cares? Just get the money. They're giving it to you. Why are you bitching about it? You've been bitching about it. Yeah, I get people's arguments.
Starting point is 00:45:51 It's like, well, for once, they're being shady or whatever you say, but at least you're getting money. I don't know. Usually, you don't get money when they're doing stuff. I can't complain. They gave us $2,000 of gas cards. Just take it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:03 Shout out to La Venetia. You can be mad. Just take it. I don't know. Who caresish. You can be mad. Just take it. I don't know. Who cares? No one's saying they're like UNICEF now. Yeah, I'm not saying
Starting point is 00:46:09 like they're still a big business. Are they still taking the ticket fees that we're bitching about? Yes, they are. They're not Habitat for Humanity.
Starting point is 00:46:15 But I'm going to take a win when I see a win. Yeah. Let's go. They're not Habitat for Humanity, people. But yeah, I mean, they're still whatever.
Starting point is 00:46:24 It's a big giant. Like the CEO made $137 million last year or something. Yeah. Like bands are just like eating ramen out of their fist. Yeah. Especially now the bands aren't making shit. Yeah. Sucks. Everybody should just.
Starting point is 00:46:39 Everyone thinks we're all rich. Everyone, you know, it's like we do good in merch, but like you don't think the merch money helps pay for this whole fucking thing? Ernie's expensive. Ernie's expensive. Especially me. I'm just kidding. Let's line up fucking DraftKings, baby.
Starting point is 00:46:54 Let's make that money. All alone. 50 minutes. I went to my sister's wedding in Canada. Really? It was pretty fun. It was nice? It was nice? It was in Banff
Starting point is 00:47:05 You ever been there? No It's just Colorado, Canada Oh, cool It's just like straight up by Calgary Calgary kind of rules Yeah, but you said You said you were dreading it
Starting point is 00:47:13 Because you didn't want to see your family I mean, I just like It was like three days And we're all in the same Airbnb Me and my mom and my sister It's just a lot Yeah My mom's so slow
Starting point is 00:47:22 Does she judge you? No Why don't you like them? I like them You said you don't No, I like them I just don't want to be around them for three straight days Yeah, it's a little annoying
Starting point is 00:47:30 You know what I'm saying? They're all cool people They're all pretty chill My family's very like how I am kind of Right It's very Not a lot of My sister's girlfriend was there
Starting point is 00:47:39 And she was like You're all the same You're all just like You know I don't know how to describe it Because you can't describe yourself You know what I mean? Just like Not excited Just like, you're all the same. You're all just like, you know, I don't know how to describe it because you can't describe yourself. You know what I mean? Just like.
Starting point is 00:47:47 Not excited. Just like, yeah, boring, a little stiff. Yeah, boring and stiff. That's me. No, you got, I mean, yeah, sometimes. Me, I'm super boring. That's what they say about me. That's why people listen to me talk for an hour.
Starting point is 00:48:03 You got a point. No, we just don't get excited about shit. Really? It takes a lot to excite us British people. Why? Well, we've already conquered the world. No, you didn't. I guess. The sun never sets on that empire.
Starting point is 00:48:25 So, I guess once you've conquered the entire world, not that much impresses you anymore. You know who else tried to conquer the world? Volume.com. The British of the live streams. Volume is coming. Volume is coming. The volume is coming.
Starting point is 00:48:38 The volume is coming. Volume.com. Head to volume.com. Watch our live streams. We have everything stockpiled. It's awesome. It's good. If you want to. We have everything stockpiled. It's awesome. It's good. If you want to rewatch them,
Starting point is 00:48:50 they're fun. We're working on a bunch of new breakouts right now. Yeah, we're trying to... They gave us the go-ahead to start pumping out all these more breakouts. So I'm like, thank you, volume.com. But if you're a content creator, this is the type of team you're going to have with you. The best team in the live stream business. Head to volume.com
Starting point is 00:49:06 slash creator to get to know them a little more and might as well put all your stuff on there. It's just going to help people. Live streams help. They really do. Have you done a live band show on there lately? I did a live. Yeah, we did two of them so far. Where? New Orleans and something else.
Starting point is 00:49:24 It's great. I look at my nugs.net numbers too. People listen to live shows. People listen to live streaming. They don't go to them. They don't go to them. They just said, we'll just wait till Nugs gets on it.
Starting point is 00:49:36 Maybe volume.com will have the live show. I'll get the flack. You'll watch. You're going to watch the show and then you're going to re-watch it On volume.com They have a ton of shows Stockpiled They got some great podcasts
Starting point is 00:49:50 They got that dude from the Foo Fighters Has a podcast It's really good Shipley? I don't know He teaches guitar riffs The guy with the gray hair? I don't know
Starting point is 00:49:59 Yeah The guitar player? Yeah, the guitar player That's kind of cool He's cool as fuck I watched a couple episodes of those And he rips. I watched their Austin City Limits concert like two weeks ago.
Starting point is 00:50:09 It was pretty. Dave Grohl's stage presence is so interesting. It's almost like he's doing like a small bar, but it works for 60,000 people. Yeah, he is the great. He's a great front man. He's insane at it. It's so likable and normal. It's a little corny, but you need to be corny for 60,000 people. We're not doing Louis C.K. jokes up here. You know what I mean? All right, true. It's so likable and normal. And it's a little corny, but you need to be corny for 60,000 people.
Starting point is 00:50:25 We're not doing Louis C.K. jokes up here. You know what I mean? True. It's cool. So head to volume.com. Watch all this great content. And watch us. And Nick's looking hot today.
Starting point is 00:50:36 The next move for you, I think, is like a live concert special almost. Yeah, like talking head style. Yeah. I've been talking with a couple people. I want to do a real big production. Like how comedians do a stand-up special. You film like five, then you kind of splice them together
Starting point is 00:50:50 and edit it down. Wouldn't be that hard to make, I feel like. Yeah, I have this idea that I want to kind of like do like a Stop Making Sense style film. But I want to do it in a... I don't want to ruin the story. So it's like a documentary
Starting point is 00:51:01 with like live concert footage? No, just live concert. I don't think I've seen that movie, actually. And I have an idea how it could be filmed. What's cool about that film is a live concert film. I haven't seen it. Close-up cameras. Oh, they're like on stage?
Starting point is 00:51:15 No, they have a guy on stage just getting close and doing these cool tight sweeps. So it kind of feels like a tornado. He's like in the shit. He's in the shit. And that's what I think I got an idea that I think we could do something really spectacular. Everybody thinks they might be coming back. They are. Oh. Well, they're doing like
Starting point is 00:51:36 Colbert. Well, they're putting the movie out again. It's all planned. They probably have a tour they're about to announce. I never really got it. Honestly, I never really got too much into them. Nothing is... I don't know a lot about them. Everything is planned now.
Starting point is 00:51:49 That's why... What about Taylor Swift dating Travis Kelsey? Ooh, I feel like it's a little planned, but I love it. I think they're a very good couple, actually. I do, too. I love, dude. I love the Kelsies. I just like that she's finally dating someone that's taller than her.
Starting point is 00:52:03 I guarantee you Travis just got a fucking hog on him. Just a dong. He's too confident to not have this fucking horse leg of a cock. How can you not be confident if you're him? He's handsome. He's 6'5". He's top three tight end of all time probably. Do you think Taylor Swift gets pissed when she has to go to his $900,000 apartment in Kansas City after they make love.
Starting point is 00:52:25 Is that what he has? I don't know, but it's probably not a billion-dollar house. I think he bought your penthouse when you moved here. He probably has like four houses. He makes a lot of money, man. Yeah. He's like at the top end of sports. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:39 But I do love the Kelsies. I love his brother, too. He rules. He's the greatest. He's actually arguably cooler. Yeah, and his wife is cool, love his brother, too. He rules. He's the greatest. He's actually arguably cooler. Yeah, and his wife is cool and his kids are cool. I keep listening to...
Starting point is 00:52:52 I keep on going back to Philly. I keep listening to the Philadelphia doing the Christmas record. All the linemen of Philadelphia did the Christmas record. I know, but I love Kelsey in that He's just so
Starting point is 00:53:06 He's such a great dude I want to try to get him on the podcast He plays saxophone Really? Barry Sax Yeah So I like So when it comes down to it
Starting point is 00:53:14 I like the Taylor You should have him come sit in A lot more hot beautiful women Want to watch football now Can't argue that So I like it I like Taylor Swift I don't know
Starting point is 00:53:24 I think she's cool, dude. People who don't like Taylor Swift are kind of weird. It's like, what'd she ever do? I like hard workers. She fucking works hard. She's arguably
Starting point is 00:53:32 the greatest CEO in the history of the music business. For sure. She's re-recording all the records that that asshole was stole from her.
Starting point is 00:53:40 Scooter B? Selling some, I mean, and she loves her fans. She treats her fans really well. Yeah, I'm in on the Swift. She's selling some. I mean, and she like loves her fans. She treats her fans really well. Yeah, I'm in on the Swift. She doesn't really ever do anything embarrassing or stupid. Yeah, I'm in on
Starting point is 00:53:51 Swift. The only thing people make fun of her is like dating guys in her 20s. Who cares? What the fuck? It's like, let's see your Why are people so fucking jealous of when people just like date? Because they're not getting laid. Because they're not getting laid. They're either not getting laid or they're married and they want to be free again.
Starting point is 00:54:09 Get out of my boy's pockets. Yeah. Thank you. What he said. We're going to have a great week. This is a fun episode. I like it. It's so much better when we don't have a stupid guest, right?

For this run? It's going to be a couple thousand dollars more. Let's go over it after this. I can rent the Sprinter out.
Starting point is 00:55:22 We're also talking, too. It's not going to be hard to get a driver Like Gonzo or somebody It's all night drives though So who's going to drive at night? Gonzo? We'd have to get a driver They don't have anyone?
Starting point is 00:55:37 I was talking to Nick about this McDaniels He was saying that they do have a full list of drivers That you can pick from But they're usually going to be more expensive because they all have CDLs or whatever, and they come recommended. You know you're getting a pro.
Starting point is 00:55:52 Yeah. Or we just get our own guy. Yeah, it depends on how much you charge the guy. He said they've done both. How much more is it? Depends on the driver. If we do that Those guys Need showers

Starting point is 00:56:17 Like Planet Fitness Yeah Maybe they park it Maybe we park it In a Planet Fitness Then we could all go shower Fucking get a workout in It'd be tight.
Starting point is 00:56:25 A lot of venues have showers. No, they're shitty. It's hit or miss. Yeah. And then either way, even if it's one, still got eight guys that need to shower.
Starting point is 00:56:33 Right. Yeah. All right. Growing pains. It's good to have growing pains though. Yeah. But everything else was good. All that,
