Andy Frasco's World Saving Podcast.
I'm Andy Frasco.
Hot off a long week of debauchery, going to parties, and recording songs.
And the minute I get home, Nick is sitting in this chair reading If I Did It by O.J. Simpson.
I want to get to the bottom of this.
Get to the bottom of what?
Who do you think killed those people?
What do you?
He wrote a book called If I Did It.
If I Did It.
I mean, he knows the house.
He used to live there.
I can't handle you.
You know, he's probably sad his wife got murdered.
You know, the mother of his children was.
Have you ever heard that there's a conspiracy that his son did it?
OJ's son.
By the way, we have Craig Broadhead
from Cool Cool Cool in the building.
What's up, Craig?
Was it his son five at the time?
No, he had an older...
He has an older son.
Oh, the older son from the first marriage.
I had not heard that.
It wasn't her kid.
There was a rumor that he had a crush on her and that's why he did it.
Obviously.
Is that what you learned from the book?
Well, we know OJ Simpson didn't do it.
We know he didn't do it. He's found innocent in a
court of law. No, not the civil trial.
I think it's wild that
he's also just acting like
life is completely normal.
Mason and Cameron have this podcast called It Is What It Is.
It's the best.
Yeah, it's good.
And their lead sports football analysis is the juice.
The guy's a great football player.
He was the first guy to rush for 2,000 yards.
And he's giving hot takes about the Buffalo Bills and stuff.
I'm like, yo, just you got away with it.
No, get out of here.
It's been 30 years since he didn't kill his wife.
I think it's cool that he can go on a podcast.
Well, Andy got arrested.
Remember, he went to jail, though.
For stealing his memory.
Yeah, that's what he went to jail for.
For a while.
I was like, there's a three part ESPN documentary that's also excellent.
Yeah. And they talk about like it was literally the dumbest. But he's a terrible criminal.PN documentary that's also excellent. And they talk about it was literally the
dumbest. He's a terrible criminal.
That's the thing. He's bad at crime.
Once he started committing crimes in the 2000s.
Hey, Bo, look that up. What did he
steal back?
It was like sports memorabilia of his.
Sports memorabilia. Vegas. I think he broke
into a hotel room.
No, it was...
He definitely broke into something, right?
They hatched the plan
in a hotel room.
A guy with CTE hatched the plan.
It was a bunch of dummies.
What's it say?
Zoom in. Las Vegas.
It was like Ocean's Eleven with CTE.
People don't realize he turned 72
in July. Yeah, dude.
In 2007, he was sentenced to prison for robbing a man realize he turned 72 in July. Yeah, dude. Okay, so in 2007
he was sentenced to prison for
robbing a man
named Alfred
What up, Westby?
You know anything about OJ Wesley?
Yeah, he tried to
steal everyone. How does everyone know this?
It was very big news.
He went to jail.
What's the quote say? I don't feel that he was a threat to anyone out there.
He said he's a good man.
And know that he does a lot for people.
I feel that nine and a half to 33 years was way too long.
It was his.
He's a good man.
He killed his wife.
No, he didn't.
He was found innocent in a court of law.
Yeah, but he also wrote that book.
If I did it.
He wrote the book If I Did It.
Google this.
If.
The if is so small.
I know.
It's insane.
It's beautiful work.
Was that the Goldman Estate that made them...
Yes, this is the Goldman Estate version, actually.
Oh, nice.
Oh, that's what has the pictures.
It's called If I Did It,
The Confessions of the Killer.
It's $14.99 on Amazon right now.
See, I don't understand.
This isn't a book about OJ.
It's a book written by OJ about
a murder that was committed against his wife that he was
accused of in 1994,
and he didn't do it. But if he did do it,
this is how he would have done it. Yes. Because, you know,
he knows the place. He knows...
He got a lot of details. That sounds so insane
to me. You're right. How would he...
Why would he agree to this? Yes, Andy, that
sounds insane. That's why I'm reading this.
Why would he agree to this? Agree. What do you mean agree? I think it was his idea insane that's why i'm reading this why would he agree to this agree what do you mean agree i think it was his idea that's what i'm saying like
this is like he doesn't realize like the people who are publishing this book is like basically
trying to get it out of him like dude this dude killed him i don't think you're understanding
his psychology appropriately yeah you're right There's a part where he talks about
Ron Goldman
doing karate moves.
Yes.
Who would know that?
That's so specific.
This is why CTE is real.
Oh, yeah, probably.
This man's been concussed multiple times.
Yeah, so he should be allowed to kill one or two people.
His wife? Have you seen that Junior Seau documentary? Yeah, so he should be allowed to kill one or two people. His wife.
Have you seen that Junior Seau documentary?
Yeah, that's sad as hell.
Sad, dude.
Dude, these football players.
By the way, poor Bo.
I feel horrible for Buffalo.
It's so cold there.
I have less sympathy.
Oh, yeah, you're a Cleveland fan.
Yeah, so we're saying they've been to a Super Bowl.
Yeah, how do you keep rooting for a team who just always loses? That's a Cleveland fan. They've been to a Super Bowl. How do you keep rooting
for a team who just always loses?
That's a good question.
I think that you become...
You start to identify with...
You're proud of it.
You're proud of it because
you look at everybody
else who has all the success
and you keep
toughing it out.
Yeah.
And you still have, that's hope.
And whenever I tell someone I'm a Browns fan,
they're like, that's kind of cool.
You're like, you're not a bitch.
You don't sell out.
Right.
Because it would be really easy,
and like, it was like when my brother had kids,
like, they literally had to, like,
had to have a talk, like,
with him and his wife.
What?
Of, like,
Yeah, you have to make your,
you're really gonna, You're really going to...
We're really going to do this? We're going to raise
as Browns fans?
Like, of course.
Of course.
Although they have been good recently.
They did lose horribly in the first round of the playoffs.
But they made the playoffs.
Browns are good.
We were 0-16.
Yeah, it's true.
But the great thing about underdog cities
is those are the most fun to hang out in.
I fucking love Cleveland.
I fucking love Buffalo.
I love Charlotte.
Charlotte doesn't really...
The Panthers?
What are they fucking doing?
Well, Minneapolis.
Oh, the Vice?
I do.
Minneapolis is a great city, too.
Oh, my God.
Well, yeah.
No, there's a...
Died in the wool, like salt of the earth.
Yeah. People have jobs there. Not LA, where they're like... Oh my God. Well, yeah. No, it's, there's a, dyed in the wool, like salt of the earth, you know.
Yeah.
People have jobs there.
You know,
not LA where they're like,
I'm an Instagram influencer.
My dad,
my dad owns a car wash.
Yeah, you keep it real.
Plus when you get on top,
like when Cavs won in 2016,
it was like everybody was excited. Like it was like,
if you get to the other side,
it's the best feeling.
This is why I love...
That release...
I'm still holding on to it.
Literally.
It's almost eight years ago.
I still think about it.
I'll love LeBron until the day I die because of that.
I don't care what he does.
He could kill his wife in a waiter.
Jesus fucking Christ. That's what you're supposed to do on podcasts. Let Sidney West be in the building. Come wife in a waiter. Jesus fucking Christ.
That's what you're supposed to do on podcasts.
There's Sidney Westby in the building.
Come on in, brother.
Denzel.
Denzel's a little skittish.
He doesn't like you.
Grab a chair.
I'm good.
You look a little strung out.
He's leaning against me.
What happened?
We just partied with 10 powder dogs.
He's scared of you.
I don't know why.
He doesn't like guys with beards.
He knows I'm a powder dog.
He smells the molly on your breath.
There was a lot of mushrooms on the trip.
People are still doing molly?
Yeah.
There's good molly out there. I tried it Yeah. I hate Molly. There's good Molly out there.
I tried it once.
By the people we know.
And it's great.
Really? Does it give you that hangover two days later
where you want to kill everyone on earth?
You want to kill your wife and a waiter?
Denzel is scared of you.
He looks like he's seen a fucking ghost.
I've never seen him do this with anyone.
What did you do over the weekend? What'd you. He looks like he's seen a fucking ghost. I've never seen him do this with anyone. What did you do over the weekend?
He's
He's nice.
You're on a fucking
Mollie hang, a mush hangover.
You roll into Denver like, welcome to Denver.
We got, just pet him.
Oh, so cute.
I've never seen him do that. It's so weird.
You must know I'm a dog.
He may be a Detroit Lions. Dogs.
We're going.
Alright, so
you're a week in Denver. What are we going to do?
Are you going to have fun with this? Yeah, I think
we're going to have some FUN. I'm going to learn how to be a
roadie. Not that hard.
Hate your life.
Alright, Westby, get some rest. We're going out

Yeah, we don't do gossip on this channel.
Yeah, we don't do gossip on this channel Unless you want to
Alright Wes
You're scaring the dog
What the hell is wrong with you
I've never seen Denzel do that
I've never seen him do anything but love
His eyes are locked on him
Dude
I've never seen this
He was growling before
Really Even he doesn't believe in the law Dude, he's about to growl. I've never seen this. He was growling before. Yeah, he was growling at him.
Really?
Damn.
Even he doesn't believe in the Lions.
Oh, yeah, I forgot.
He's a big Joe Montana guy.
He's a big Joe Montana guy.
Yeah, he used to have a Joe Montana jersey when we got him at the Super Bowl. All right.
Craig, you just got back from Japan.
I did.
Konnichiwa.
Yeah, Konnichiwa.
How was it?
It was incredible
Tell me everything because I skipped out on my Japan trip
Now I'm regretting it
Ever seen your Insta story for the last couple weeks
Well it's still there so you can still go
Do they hate Americans because we bombed them?
No that's the craziest thing
French people we fought for them
And they hate us.
Actually, I mean, I'm really...
While I was there, because I went to some
art exhibits and stuff,
I didn't realize, obviously the two
atomic bombs, but also
we bombed them for years and years and years
and years. I did not know that.
No one teaches us this.
To be fair, they sank six of our boats.
What a podcast.
No, but that's, I mean, it is an incredible testament to what can happen.
You can be, I mean, my grandpa fought in World War II against Japanese.
Right.
And then all of a sudden they're paying for me to go play music for them.
Yeah.
Now you're at Fuji rock.
Yeah.
It's an amazing story really.
Honestly.
No,
they actually are super,
super cool to Americans in general.
Like they sort of,
um,
I mean,
we have a ton in common really.
Was,
were you,
cause you went by yourself for two weeks.
I did.
Yeah.
What,
did you feel like Bill Murray from Lost in Translation?
Uh, yeah. Often. Yeah. I did, yeah. Did you feel like Bill Murray from Lost in Translation?
Yeah, often, yeah. Except for,
you know. Did you meet any Japanese men to take you out and party?
You have a girlfriend.
We're not going to say you had women.
I made friends.
You make friends.
That's why music is sick.
I was just going out to
you know,
their DJ scene is super sick. I was just going out to their DJ
scene is super
sick. Is it? It's awesome.
What are the clubs like?
Well, they stay, they open
like you go, people
go out at like midnight or one
and stay out until like six.
And then there's afters from
like six to ten.
You went to afters from till 10?
Hell yeah.
Are they doing drugs?
No.
No drugs?
No drugs.
That's what I'm saying.
They have like no drugs there.
No drugs.
Not even weed, right?
Cigarettes and booze and coffee.
There you go.
So are they just getting fucking obliviated on booze?
They're fucking high on, yes, but also like everything.
The city is like so much, it's such a psychedelic city
like yeah
they're kind of living in this
this other state where you don't
I mean drugs are like incredibly illegal
oh yeah like death sentence illegal
I don't know about death sentence but like
you will go to jail
that was the scariest part of
flying into Japan like
they searched all
my shit well i don't know sometimes they're in my bag no i yo i had a moment where i was like did i
because sorry you're a drug addict i don't know what to tell you i had a scary moment because i
have you know like um i had you know at one point i had some like thc whatever some gummies or stuff
in my like in my like toiletry bag yeah and my bag took forever to come up through the thing and
I made sure I went through everything
before but I was like I was like oh shit
oh shit like I was literally sweating I
was waiting for like the cops to come
like Japanese police to come like kick
me out of the country or put me in jail
and it finally came up and I was like oh
all right did you go to any uh karaoke joints
well it's um no because i feel like that'd be super sad to go by yourself i guess oh yeah they
have like booths go to a booth i love the booth for one please yeah i'll take the booth for one
and please put on i will survive by ruth no did. Honestly, the vibe is that every bar
is just karaoke. It's just built in.
Every place.
When I was in Kyoto, one night I was out
super late, and we're
drinking, talking about stuff. They spoke pretty good
English at the spot, and at one point
the guy just puts the mic in front of me
and he's like, pick a song.
And I sang Paul Simon's Graceland in in there and we're all singing graceland together
but they had like the japanese translation underneath everything and the one dude was
like crying he's like this is the most beautiful song what if it translated something like no no
exactly you know i love the japanese so much. It's dude.
And really, we have so much in common,
especially in terms of how we're expected to work.
It's the only other nation, I think, that's like that.
They have grind culture there.
Yeah, for sure.
I love how quiet all the trains are.
Everything's quiet.
And that was actually one of the things when I came back that was such a drag was
like, people, they respect your personal space.
And like, you know, a public space is like, it's super rude to interject yourself into
somebody else's business.
Right.
And I got into the Dallas airport.
This guy was just like freestyling in my face on the train.
And I was just like, I almost said, I was just like dude you can't be doing this man
Well that's what I was wondering about making friends
Japanese Craig is changed
Are they like outgoing enough
For you to meet new people
They are not outgoing at all
You have to go to a place where
What the Japanese aren't
They are not outgoing people
Cause you have to go
That's why I would go out to a DJ club
where you like the same music.
You're there.
You're there for the same reason.
Then it's okay to socialize.
But they're not going to do the American thing
where they just start talking
in the gas station line about the weather.
Oh, yeah.
Fuck that shit, dude.
I hate that shit.
It's so...
To talk to a stranger for no reason
is considered extremely rude.
What about the bar scene?
So they're not talking to anyone? They're just drinking?
No, they talk.
They have friends with them.
When you have friends, you talk.
It's a super international city.
I was there with people from
Mexico City and Norway.
The people want to know,
is it a cheap vacation?
Can you go there and actually
have a vibe if you're
balling on a budget?
I spent literally two grand less
than I budgeted for.
Let's fucking go!
I don't know.
I think our economy is strong, I guess,
right now.
I'm putting quotation marks.
The dollar is very strong right now.
I was getting...
And also, food is extremely cheap there.
Because they subsidize...
Food is such a part of culture
that they have things in place to make sure that food is affordable.
And every menu
needs to have a certain amount of affordable options.
Is there a lot of fatty foods?
Well, hell yeah.
Like the curry shit?
Yeah, but it's like because they... I don't think their food is as poisoned as
ours.
So I was eating like not like healthy and I felt amazing.
Oh my.
What about.
It's like those people go to Europe and they're like, I ate worse and I lost 20 pounds.
I ate so much pasta in Italy and I lost 10 pounds.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Or we just have, I don't know.
They don't have plastic in their pasta.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They don't have plastic in their pasta. It, yeah, yeah. They don't have plastic
in their pasta.
It's like, wait a second,
this is toy pasta
that you fucking
heated up in the oven.
My daughter has this
in her Fisher-Bright kitchen.
I think about that
because I always get
the mac and cheese
at the Hilton
or the Hampton Inn.
That's probably the Hilton.
No, just like mac,
like the one-minute instant.
Oh, dude, bro.
The late night fucking,
I always get that or like the top get that You have to read the ingredients
It's like
Nine pages of unpronounceable things
I love how they have so many different
Ramens
The 7-Elevens in Japan
Are fucking awesome
It's the best
All their fried foods
The fami-chiki,
is so fucking good.
Amazing.
And also,
attractive girls are walking.
You know if you see someone in America
eating gas station food,
which we do from time to time,
but you're just like,
I'm eating a gas station food.
There'll be a very attractive woman who'll walk in
and just get a piece of fried chicken and just walk out.
It's awesome.
It's fucking hot.
I love Japanese women, dude.
What's that like?
Are the Japanese men protective of the Japanese women?
They don't want Americans dating them?
Nah.
You just threaten them.
You just go, remember what we did?
Dude, come on.
Jesus fucking Christ.
Nick, you can't say that.
I think that there's Japanese women
that are interested in foreign men.
Just like anything else.
And then there's probably most that aren't.
Are there hookers?
A lot.
You see a lot of hookers?
It's more like in the district that you're in. Yeah. You know, but are there hookers? A lot. You see, you see a lot of hookers. Yeah.
Well,
it's more like,
um,
in the district that you're in.
Yeah.
It's very regulated.
Right.
Oh,
it's legal.
It's yeah.
It's,
it's legal.
I mean,
it's the same shit kind of as like in Vegas of,
of like,
okay.
Uh,
Germany or Netherlands,
like where it's like,
technically you can't say that you're sex for money,
but like,
that's exactly what it is.
But no,
it's super regulated and they have it in
there's a district where you go and
it's crazy because it's
like you'll see the sign
and it'll have just the women, like
the prostitutes that are there, but they're like
dressed up, like they're all
like, but there's like a big
like LED sign.
It's like Disneyland Hookerland.
Yeah, but like it's them. It's like the ones that are there and like you go like disneyland hooker land yeah but like it's them it's like the ones that
are there and like you go like yeah yeah was there like a lot of homelessness there none right
well they it's they have secret homelessness yeah they hide it they hide it so what they do is they
have these uh internet cafes and they even have like hotels and stuff that are like they're like
okay technically you have a place to stay yeah Yeah. So you can't be out there.
I saw one person legitimately homeless the entire time.
Wow.
I've been,
I follow this guy on Instagram where he,
I guess there's a lot of banded houses there that you could like,
that are free.
Oh really?
If you want to just like set them up,
but it's like expensive to set them up.
So they're not free.
Well,
like the house,
the property.
Oh,
it's free,
but you have to refurbish.
You got to redo the house. Well, cause they're going through free? Well, the house, the property is... You have to refurbish the house.
Because they're going through
depopulation. Their birth rate is super low.
Really bad.
That's why even compared to when I was there
in 2019, they have
way more immigration.
A lot of people from other countries,
they've been easing it up because they're like,
our economy is going to go to shit.
They built all these cities.
They have all this infrastructure to kind of keep intact
that won't work if they don't have enough people.
Right.
Which, by the way, is kind of, honestly,
it's a thing here, too.
We're doing that.
What, depopulation?
Well, our birth rate for, yeah, birth rate for-
I think everyone, dude, it's like handmade still.
But we're using immigrants to do, fill jobs, basically.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh.
Yeah, man.
The bars, too, they're like five five seaters too right
like it's there there's a lot of small bars like hidden in like it's just it's just kind of just
small everywhere uh but like but i love it so much yeah um like everything's just a little you know
cuter i heard the jazz scene sick i was super sick yeah did you go to blue note i didn't because
all the shows were super expensive But I have a couple friends
I went to Berklee
There's a lot of Japanese students at Berklee
Oh yeah?
It's a huge part of the
I didn't know that
So I have a good friend of mine
My buddy Zach Croxall
Shout out to him
Sick bass player
My old homie
We hung out
He's married to a Japanese woman
Got two kids
And he's totally
Him and his wife are both full-time musicians.
And so he kind of sent me to some places and stuff.
Oh, sick.
Yeah.
Who's that Japanese guitar player that lives in Boston?
Berkeley guy.
Oh, Tomo Fujita.
Yeah.
He's the man, dude.
He's the man.
Yeah, I've been having conversations with him.
I like him a lot.
Tomo's great.
He's a badass.
Yeah.
And the Japanese are really good at When they find a skill
They hone it in
You take pride in what you do
Americans don't do that as much
Actually
To be honest the reputation over there
If you're an American musician
And you move there
They assume that you're badass
We are pretty good here
These colors don't fade
Legitimately I was talking to a guy there Assume that you're fucking badass. Yeah. We are pretty good here. Yeah. These colors don't fade, brother.
Hell yeah, baby.
Well, I mean,
legitimately,
I was talking to a guy there about it and he's like,
he's like,
America's a big country
so you can get,
you can tour everywhere
and get good
because there's so many places to play
just in your country.
And they love our music.
Right.
Yeah.
You'd probably crush it.
Although,
now the thing is,
the kids are,
the kids are into the K-pop, though.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Dude.
They are here, too.
I know.
Dude, K-pop is taking over the world.
Dude, we should write a K-pop song.
Yeah, you need to make a K-pop song.
Tomorrow, let's write a K-pop song.
We're going to write a song tomorrow.

It's a private club where I do it all.
Oh, nice.
It's a private club.
We went, me and Jeremy Sulkin went last two weeks ago, and it was just a bunch of hot
Cougs.
It was awesome.
They love trivia.
They love trivia.
And he does a little harder questions on that one.
And I'm less funny there.
Well, you're just trying to figure out what works.
You're still new to the older.
Well, they don't like jokes there.
They don't really get humor.
They're there for one thing.
It's not jokes.
They care way more about winning.
Give me the facts.
Yeah, they care way more about winning trivia, too.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's weird.
They want to know the score the whole time.
I'm like, Jesus Christ, let's check your bank account bitch that's the score so what's the how
do you keep people from cheating at the trivia um i just kind of like tell them if i catch you
cheating i'm gonna fucking embarrass you online i will like you know what i mean i've never really
caught anybody though i can tell like you could tell by the way people get stuff wrong yeah it's
like most people don't want to cheat at bar trivia they're there have a good time and it's a very
loser thing to do it's it's true i mean cheating at bar trivia. They're there to have a good time. And it's a very loser thing to do.
It's true.
I mean, cheating at bar trivia is like, that's pretty low. That's low.
That's the low life shit.
It's worse than cheating in the election.
God damn, I really want that $50 gift card.
Speaking, hold on.
Speaking of.
Yeah, exactly.
Hold on.
I just, sorry.
I just.
Oh, shit.
You need the money that bad, I'll just buy you a drink.
I want to read this.
All right.
You can have it when I'm done.
I'll mail it to you.
So excited.
So two weeks.
Was that long enough
to be in Japan?
Did you start getting homesick?
I don't know if...
I wouldn't call it homesick,
but, you know,
definitely at a point there,
I was like,
okay, I'm definitely alone
by myself.
And, like, what...
Do I miss...
I wish I had my friends here.
Yeah.
But then like
that was about 10 days in
and then like two days later,
I actually legitimately
like organically
was like making friends.
Yeah.
So.
Oh,
then you like miss them.
Yeah,
we've been like,
stay like,
we're all like
follow each other
on Instagram and stuff
and send them like,
it's yeah,
like legitimately,
especially like through music,
you know,
it's like you're out
and you're having a good time
How is there no cocaine or ecstasy in these clubs?
They're just drinking and smoking at 6
I think that
It's super, super fucking illegal
Which, by the way
Solves so many fucking problems
We party way, way too hard
In the United States of America
I want to clap to that
Let's go
Red, white, blue, baby
America is drugs I know of America. I want to clap to that. Let's go. It's my people. Red, white, blue, baby.
No, it's at a party.
Like, America is drugs.
I know.
It's just drugs.
The whole thing.
Yeah, rules.
Maybe that's the song we should write.
America is drugs.
Like, no, but just like
everyone's on prescription.
Yeah, it's crazy.
Whatever.
Probably harder to get it in.
It's an island.
Like, you know.
Well, here's what I... Everything, all the drugs are controlled by the Yakuza. Yeah. Whatever. Probably harder to get it in. It's an island. Like, you know. Well, here's what I,
everything,
all the drugs are controlled by the Yakuza.
Yeah.
Right.
So, if you know,
if you're willing to like
go into those kind of spaces
and do that,
you can party
and like,
like that's,
but I mean.
Who the fuck wants to do that?
So, I mean,
last time I was there
I was talking to somebody
and he's like,
he's like, yeah,
like I have a guy
but it's like,
you have to know people
For like six years
Before they feel comfortable
Like opening that up
If you want cocaine that bad
Just move to America
Just get your visa
And move to America
You know what I mean
Note to self Google
Meet a Yakuza
Siri
Send me to the nearest
Yakuza hideout
That seems safe
I was talking to some Some guys that were there in the 90s,
and they were kind of ripping it more back then.
What's the weirdest thing you saw?
The weirdest thing I saw?
Did you see the used panties vending machine?
Yeah, they have.
It's that, because I was in Shinjuku,
which is that sort of famous prostitution area like the famous like prostitution like area.
They have.
Yeah, they're definitely like, I mean, you know,
I didn't like take a close look or anything,
but you could see like.
Craig is a safe space.
Your girlfriend does not listen to this podcast.
She's going to listen to this.
I'm going to clip it out.
No, no.
I mean, that's extreme.
Yeah.
That's extreme.
I looked for the used paintings. I wanted to buy a couple just to stay at bottom. Yeah, just as a souvenir. I mean, that's extreme. Yeah. That's extreme. I looked for the used paintings.
I wanted to buy a couple just to stay at the bottom.
Yeah, just as a souvenir.
I couldn't find them.
It's like you have to go to a specific part of the city.
You should buy like 80 and make a quilt out of them.
But it's so weird.
Some of them have like, you can find some with like doo-doo stains on them or like period blood.
Yeah, you custom.
Not gross.
Custom. Custom. Custom. Custom. Custom. Custom. Custom. Custom. Custom. Custom. Custom. Custom. Custom. Custom. Custom. Custom. Custom. Custom. Custom. Custom. Custom. Custom. Custom. Custom. Custom. Custom. Custom. Custom. Custom. Custom. Custom. Custom. Custom. Custom. Custom. Custom. Custom. Custom. Custom. Custom. Custom. Custom. Custom. Custom. Custom. Custom. Custom. Custom. Custom.. You custom. No, they're all the same.
You just pick your poison.
I would be upcharging for different stuff.
See, that's where they're missing out.
To be fair though,
they have everything in vending machines.
Everything. You can get anything you want.
You can literally fucking, this is not a joke, you can buy a suit.
It's amazing.
Can you buy a vending machine in a vending machine?
Because, you know why they...
That's a Mitch Hedberg joke.
Yeah.
I want a vending machine.
Yeah.
Yeah, because if they miss their train,
they're stuck in Tokyo.
So they just party all night.
And if they have to go to work at 7 a.m.,
they just buy a new suit from a vending machine.
I love that.
That's amazing.
Japan has it figured out. They have a little vending
machine with a tailor. I mean, they have their problems, too.
Like what?
A lot of...
Because they're not outgoing, there's
a lot of loneliness. It's a lot of people...
Suicide's big out there.
It's one of the highest, maybe the highest
place. Very popular.
They work people fucking
Same thing as here, man
Did you see the suicide forest?
No, I was trying to have a good time
Camping
We're really going dark now
That's where they're having an electric forest next year
Oh, fuck, dude

A random festival.

And so, what about, so the food was great,
the booze was great, the party.
Did you get on, because you're a DJ,
did you get on those mix tables?
Well, I was on vacation.
Like, it was legitimately I was trying to take a vacation
Why did you choose to leave for two weeks?
Were you trying to find yourself?
Were you just burnt out like all of us?
I was burnt out

But I was hanging out with my buddy, John,
who runs all the merch for the Eagles and stuff.
And he said he had to run the BTS merch.
And people were waiting in line for 10 days,
not even had tickets to the show.

Just people.
Nick who? Me?
I thought you were talking about someone else.
Are you looking for another sax player?
I am his manager.
Do you need a third sax player in your band?
I'm time to time.
I think there would be a little redundancy
between me and Greg.
We even kind of look alike
I'm like fat Greg kind of
You both have like
Beautiful girlfriends
Yeah
It's tight
Yeah
What a day
How you feeling?
Greg's a lot calmer than me
I feel good
I mean
Well
Greg got a big dick

Josh definitely

Josh Schwartz has a huge dick.
He's probably still growing.
Dude, yeah.
I want that.
Come on, give me the dirt.
Give me the dirt.
Just years ago when I first joined the band,
we got out of the van and he was peeing
and it was just in a parking lot.
You saw the shadow? No, no, I just heard it. I heard the... and he was peeing and it was just in a parking lot.
You saw the shadow?
No, no. I just heard it.
I heard the... It was just the rate at which
it was hitting the ground.
I just did the math in my head.
Small dicks don't have that.
No, exactly.
It was just...
It sounded like he's power washing a building.
Oh, yeah.
I've seen
I've seen
How tall is he?
Six, seven?
He's a lanky white dude
He's a Jordan height
Lanky white dude
Just got the fucking girth
Yeah
He seems taller than he is
Just because he's so like
You know
He's like got a big
Yeah
Totally
His presence matches his height
Yeah
Two Cleveland guys
Yeah
Well I'm not from there
He's not from there
No
Why are you rooting for him?
Family disease.
Yeah, that's what we were talking about before.
Just passed down from gender.
I was born in Ohio.
Yeah, he's close.
Close by.
Finley.
Nick's British.
Yeah, British.
Speaking of...
So I like being British.
Doubting gummies.
Do you eat edibles?
I do not generally
like them very much.
Get the fuck out of here.
Fuck off our podcast.
No.
I think they're really hard
to predict and control.
And when I want it to be done,
I want it to be done.
I wish there was a,
if they made another edible
that undid your like,
Ooh, the antidote.
The antidote,
I would be super into it if I could just turn it off. Yeah antidote i would be super into it if i could just
turn it off yeah that then i would be super into it because the thing is usually it goes on for
way too long yeah stronger than i want but i did start messing with occasionally they have this
like infusion powder which is just like they have it's called ripple over here cool and just like
and then it comes in it's kind of it's kind of like liquid iv but it's just like a tiny little
pouch uh-huh and it's like it's like comes in like five liquid IV, but it's just like a tiny little pouch. And it comes in like 5, 10 milligrams or whatever.
And you just add as much as you want.
So wait, do you dislike LSD then?
Because that also takes forever.
You don't have to answer that.
He's like, no, I love fucking it.
I love tripping dick.
Well, I think back in the day, it didn't last.
I think it's because it's different now than it used to be.
I think back in the 60s, because I heard from old cats that it used to go on
for three or four hours.
Not as intense.
Okay.
And then because they made all this shit
that they need to make the really good stuff
is illegal, the precursors.
They have to do way more chemistry now,
and that's why it's like...
Like meth.
Yeah.
All the acid is actually meth.
No.
No wonder I love it so much. No. No, it is. It's way all the acid is actually meth. No. No wonder I love it so much.
No.
No, it is.
It's way too long.
Yeah, it's so long, man.
Yeah, way too long.
I like mushrooms.
I mean, you have to be in your early 20s at most for that.
I don't know.
I just, yeah.
I was recording with Billy Strings last weekend, and we talked about meth.
I mean,
he used to be,
he used to do meth.
What?
When he was a kid,
16.
What?
I guess he,
because he was up in Michigan
and,
you know,
right,
just biker meth.
Yeah,
just,
yeah,
Michigan.
Did he practice guitar a lot?
He told me this story
the first time he took meth.
He said he was like,
he was like,
he had a really hard life.
Like,
he lived like,
he moved out of his house when he was 16.
He was telling me this crazy story.
He said the first time I did meth,
after he did it,
he locked himself in his room,
played the same lick for 48 hours.
That's how you practice?
Yeah, you hear that, kids?
Yeah.
Do meth. He got good. Do that, kids? Yeah. Do meth.
You got good.
Do you want to be good?
Do meth.
I mean, he's one of the best.
That was literally my first thought
when he told me that.
I was like,
I bet he fucking practiced so much.
He rips.
Hopefully, he'll start selling
some tickets this year.
Keep an eye out for that kid.
What are you doing in there?
I'm just mething around.
Just mething around.
But it's like You know
It's like pretty wild shit dude
Pretty wild
Pretty wild
I'm the best
It worked out for him
It did
But he also quit
Way early in his life
Oh okay
This is done
But like what a hard life
Like
I did meth once
And I didn't
You've done meth
Many times
You live in Denver
I just don't know you did meth
Respect me But I did it once And I didn't. You've done meth many times. You live in Denver. I just don't know you did meth. Respect.
But I did it once in Germany.
I told the story once, but Craig.
They haven't met in Germany? No, it's been a while.
Oh, my God.
Dude, I was in Germany.
Dude, I was in Germany.
And we were getting really popular
in the beginning of the career like 10 years ago.
And I got in the newspaper.
And they're kind of fun with their years ago And I got in the newspaper And you know they're Like kind of fun
With their words
They called me
In the newspaper
Mr. Human Cocaine
Is coming to Bomberg
Wait was that written
That was written in English
In
No it was like
No it was in German
But the translation was
Mr. Human Cocaine
Like he's hyper
Right
So I'm walking around the street
I'm an Afro Jew
Not you know
Definitely a minority
Out there in Germany
And There was like Mr. Human Cocaine And this guy Came up to me He's like around the street i'm an afro jew not you know definitely a minority out there in germany and uh
there was like mr human cocaine and this guy came up to me he's like mr human cocaine
let's do some cocaine oh shit and i go to this bathroom snort two lines and you're just like
and it was meth right and i wish i could just sit in my room and play 40 hours of music. But instead, I was so horny.
Yo.
I woke up from the meth binge.
It did last for 48 hours.
But I woke up.
Two lines?
Two lines lasted.
You didn't go back?
No.
Whoa.
Just two lines.
That's good value.
But it was big lines.
And that was when I was really doing cocaine.
Like doing my name
In coke
I remember my 32nd birthday
I took a picture and sent it to Sean
I'm like is this a lot of cocaine
Because I didn't know
He's like yes be careful
I'm on my way
But I woke up in a hotel lobby bathroom
Like you know how you just wake up from a drug
Come to maybe Literally? Yeah, come to.
Literally. Because...
You were coming to. I remember
we were all sharing a room.
It was like a band-style
room where there's like six bunk beds.
And I knew everyone was asleep
and I couldn't get internet in the room.
Sometimes I'm pretty good at kind of
beating off quietly. You're not that good.
You're not as good as you think you are.
No one's good at that.
No one's really slow and not shake the bed
because I know Ernie's sleeping on top.
Everyone who thinks they're good at that
forgets the last two minutes.
You're like
holding your toes in.
At that point,
no one can control it.
Yeah, true.
So I went to the hotel lobby
because I knew
the internet was working there
before.
I'm beating off
in the hotel lobby bathroom.
But my dick wasn't working,
so I'm just like,
not Indian burning,
just rubbing,
just like two hands
kind of like Indian burning
my dick.
Yeah, like,
we can do this.
We can do this.
And I was flaccid, just pulling rope, pulling rope.
And I was in there for like 45 minutes.
Nice.
And I finally came, and finally the meth wore off.
Because in my head, I'm like, just come and go to bed.
Come and go to bed.
I was like, in my head, I'm like, this sucks, 48 hours.
Well, dude, that was actually really good information.
Come and go to bed is a thing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's a strategy.
Yeah, but maybe if you spent...
All the people out there having episodes on the street
would be like, you just need to...
Yeah, I looked at myself in the mirror
and I'm sweating and I'm breathing heavy.
I just worked out.
I kind of was.
I'm like, I'll never do that again.
You did cardio.
I was sweating.
I felt like I was skiing. Poor Ernie. But anyway, don't do that again. You did cardio. I was sweating. I felt like I was skiing.
Poor Ernie.
Poor Ernie.
But anyway, don't do bath kits.
You were in the bathroom though, right?
Yeah, but the hotel lobby bathroom.
And it was like 6 a.m.
So people were like, I'm in there.
I get out of there.
Going to German business meeting.
And I'm sweating.
And people are just about to do the fucking continental breakfast.
Dude, I was talking to...
I'm not going to say who it was, but
one of my buddies was like,
we were talking about the long flight to Japan.
He's like, well, you got to go
bust one out real quick.
I'm like, jerk off on the plane?
I don't know about that.
And then, no, but then I was...
Exactly, but then I was like...
We were with a group of friends, and they were like, yeah, I've done that.
Well, wait a second. It's a 13-hour flight.
Have you ever gone 13 hours without jerking off?
Here we go.
I jerked off in a plane.
Oh, no. Oh, wow.
Oh, my God.
I never saw that coming.
That's how you got upgraded.
I got upgraded.
Like, oh, we can't have this cum in the economy.
But the group I was with, I was the only one.
I was like, I couldn't.
You didn't do it.
I have not.
Some people are even afraid to take shits in the bathroom.
No, I think it's so rude.
I would never take shit.
Both of those.
You pee and you get it.
I kind of feel like jerking off.
I'm really good at cupping my cum in my
hand. I bet you are, though.
And not getting it on anything.
Try to be polite.
Because I like to wear the same jeans and
stuff a couple days in a row. It doesn't smell
as bad as taking a shit on the airplane bathroom.
Anyway, what a podcast.
I can't believe you.
Is everybody having fun out there?
Sometimes it's like I come and just acid starts burning
My hand like
Acid rain's back
Acid rain
Purple rain
That's how Two-Face became the thing
Damn so people
So you shouldn't come to bathrooms in the airplane
I think you shouldn't
I mean maybe
I don't know maybe people
I don't know
People fucking them all the time
Yeah I know Depends on the fast all the time. Yeah, I know.
I think it's rude.
If the fast and see-about lights on,
you can't do it.
Yeah.
You gotta stay in your seat and do it.
I can't sleep sitting up.
I gotta figure out a way to relax
because I don't want to pump myself with Xanax.
Sounds like you do want to pump yourself.
Sounds like that's all to pump yourself. Stupid.
Sounds like that's all you can fucking think about
based on the last 10 minutes of this podcast.
I mean, I do have sex addiction.
Pumped up dicks over here.
Yeah.
I was just thinking about this last night
because I did a little cocaine last night.
Buried treasure.
I was in my bed.
I'm like, why does this want me to... why do I want to fuck everything on this drug?
Why do I want to have sex?
Why do I want to have cum?
Why do I have to cum?
I think it's because you have anxiety.
It gives you anxiety,
and that's what you release of your anxiety.
Also, it makes you super horny.
I never thought about that.
Yeah.
I think speed just makes you everything a little more,
you know what I mean?
Except for being hungry.
Some people don't get horny on it.
Really?
It chills them out. it chills them out.
It's more revealing of your
personality.
You have ADHD. You need to go to a therapist.
No.
They're addicted.
Have you ever woke up
super hungover and
all you want to do is beat off?
Yeah, or
with the person you're with Or make love
Because that's going to make you feel better
Good for you
The soothing mechanism
I need a girlfriend
Sounds like you're girlfriend material right now
Yeah right
Who wouldn't want a guy who beats off
After storing two lines of meth
In a German bathroom
Anyway, dialed and gummed
Guys grab some dialed and gum. That's what I was trying to
get to. This is a perfect segue.
If you don't want to get all methed out
and you want to just chill out for a second,
grab some dialed in gummies.
They're the best. They're harmonized, like you
said, so if you want to have the perfect dosage,
all you have to do is cut it in
fours. They're regulated.
They're the best. We love them so much.
They have these new ones that I've been taking every night with the best, we love them so much They have these new ones
That I've been taking every night
With the CBD
And it is fucking amazing
I do too, I don't like getting too high off
I can't eat a full gummy
I get really bad anxiety
But these ones, I can control my dosage
And
The CBD
The actual TC will get you stoned
to relax you,
but the CBD
will keep you asleep.
That's why I like it.
We love it.
So grab yourself some dialed in.
I take 30 to 40 milligrams a night.
You fucking psychopath.
How do you do that?
Wait, are you serious?
Yes.
Oh my God.
Him and Sean's wife,
Sean Tobey has,
we got her set up on the brand
Tobey One Kenobi's
and she has medical grains
through each gummy is 50 milligrams.
I don't know if you remember we did that gig in Columbus last
year and I didn't sleep one of the nights.
Yeah, I remember. So I have insomnia and it really
helps me with my insomnia.
Okay, but there's
also some studies coming out that say that
THC
works for me.
But it can help you get
to sleep, can the problem is
it doesn't let you get into your deep ram sleep as well it's better than not sleeping at all though
but not to get obviously i don't want to i don't want to know i have that's why they have this
thing bud that's what the cbd you beat off that's what the cbd does it keeps the cbd that's right
yeah but i know that's true i do believe that because but it's still better than not sleeping
at all it's kind of my theory yeah good point yeah yeah he's an insomniac but it's still better than not sleeping at all. That's kind of my theory.
He's an insomniac.
That sucks, man.
I wouldn't know what to do with myself if I can't sleep.
I need to sleep.
That drives me crazy.
Every night for the last week, I've been awake.
My thing is I fall asleep around midnight or 1.
Wake up at like 3.30.
I'm awake until usually about 5.30.
But every day for the last six days, I've been awake from like 3.30 I'm awake until usually about 5.30 But every day for the last 6 days
I've been awake from like 3.30 to 6
Wow
We were just talking about
Apnea
You're starting to snore
It just started happening
Is your girlfriend cool with it?
Amazingly yeah
Like how bad is it?
What if you're like you snore like this?
What if you snore and you're just reading
this book out loud
if I did it
yeah
what if you're snoring
what if you're snoring
you're scaring me
just open the fucking door
stop banging OJ please
you'll wake the kids
dude that's so
that's so dark
you're like
that's your snoring
yeah you're snoring
yeah she thinks
you're snoring
but actually
honestly unfortunately that might be preferable
Like
Why did I load that on that soundboard
I love this one
The beating off one
Is she cool with you snoring
So far but I get
I mean whatever it works
Like you know
But like yeah I need to solve it
So what's the deal you just started snoring in your life
Are you drinking more than normal
I mean
Denver yeah
Well this town will do that to you
I think it definitely affects it
But I think it's like
There's a whole
You look into it it's just like overall health stuff
Sorry this is a bummer
For everyone that's listening No it's just overall health stuff. Sorry, this is a bummer for everyone listening.
No, it's fine.
Okay.
No, no, no.
But it's on my list.
I just bought the better health insurance.
Let's go.
Our boy's making money now.
You know, that Jerry Harrison money's finally coming in.
You're like, let's go.
How's that going?
I love it, man.
It's great.
It's got to be so crazy to play
with one of the lead guy the talking hands uh like besides the other yeah and adrian i mean it's
yeah man it's it's a trip i mean uh especially it's it was it's been interesting too like
like because the the stop making sense just like they just came out of the theatrical release
and like i'm going into the theater, and I'm watching it,
and I saw it on IMAX, and I'm just like,
I took a video and sent it to Jerry.
And he's like, how's it sound?
And I was like, it sounds amazing.
I went to IMAX.
It sounds great.
Yeah. No, yeah.
A really cool thing happened where Chris and Tina,
Chris Franson and Tina Weymouth,
they came to our show in New Haven
and sort of like gave it their blessing, basically.
What?
Tina Weymouth's the bass player?
Yeah.
What about Bird?
Did he give the blessing yet?
He's happy that Jerry's doing...
You know what I mean?
Like, no, I mean,
they use the
official uh they're allowed to use it we're not allowed to say you know because it's like and
that and that has nothing to do maybe with the band it's just so much like bands that are that
big like the protection of all right there's lawyers and shit get involved and who knows but
like we use their official instagram like on the if they promote stuff it's on their instagram so
yeah and like so dave's you know cool cool with all that like there and I think that you know I think he's uh thinks it's
sick that Jerry's you know out there like establishing his own you know like reaffirming
his like reputation yeah that's great well how how what a huge force he was especially in like
that era of the band you know yeah no one realized that he is one of the guys oh hell
he was also well and yeah i mean you watch him and bernie together like they were like
brothers dude yeah they were so close and um he's also he was in the modern lovers too with
with jonathan richmond like he's a heavy heavy dude man the more the more i get to know him
like he's really um just like i mean he he went to harvard and was like hanging out with like he's
like this is very you know all those people are they're more like really smart than they are like
you know like musicians really they're just like they're just like brilliant and they're obviously
they're like good musicians and everything but like they're mostly just like smart and like
artists what's the hardest part musically about that gig like um you know now that we've
done it so many times i don't really i mean there's parts where i have to play just like
in terms like physically like there's parts where i just have to play like super you know it's
frenetic you know really really like yeah like the like um the great curve is like we you know
use the clothes to show with that and then that's like like and for like seven minutes wow that's like physically that's physically tolling but once you
get used to it it was more in the beginning of listening to like all the different recordings
and trying to like synthesize together you know from like the live records and and the the live
band and like our thing and and sometimes you have to put like two parts together to make it work
stuff like that that was the hard part more conceptually making studio stuff live yeah and and and and trying and picking choosing like
which you know there's a million things on the records and like what's the you know the best
part of the arrangement you know but um i love it man it's a really you know it's gotta be kind of
it's gotta be cool to get the after you're ripping a solo or something you see jerry or adrian like
that's my boy it That's cool, dude.
Do they do that?
They're like, fuck this guy.
Is that something Andy made up in his head?
No.
When it first started, I mean...
Like a proud dad.
Well, Adrian...
It actually kind of did happen where
Skarek, obviously, was dealing with that
back injury for a while.
So,
we were out on tour
with Les Claypool
and,
um,
and with the Frog Brigade
and,
uh,
you know,
Greg is huge,
Skarek,
I mean,
who,
who isn't,
you know,
he's like an amazing,
amazing dude.
So,
Greg had learned,
like,
all the parts
to all the songs
and,
like,
little by little,
like,
a couple shows in,
he's like,
hey,
you know,
like,
you need sex?
Like,
I know, like, I know some songs. He's like, what songs like you need sex like i i know like i know sometimes like what songs you know he's like all of them every single
one i have a carnal knowledge so it went up and they were playing like that tune hender shot and
he just like just completely like ripped it and the funny thing because they all wear like the
pith yeah hats you know like it's like and uh so he was wearing that and he just like and he just
played his dick off just like played sick and literally adrian he watched the whole thing walked up and like gave him a big hug and was
like he's like i have a picture of them together just where he was he did he was like a proud dad
it's like i fucking love it yeah no it's it's i mean it's super special and cool i mean like early
on uh you know adrian was like do you want to there was you should take the solo and like i
took it and i did you know I played my thing And then he played
And it was like a
Fucking tornado
Like earthquake
I was just like
I was like
Please don't make me play
A solo before or after you
But there is one tune
There's one tune
That's Jerry's tune
Where Adrian doesn't play
And I take a solo on it
Sick
But that's the only thing
I do in that
Adrian's still badass
He's still real
Adrian's insane
Dude
It's crazy
It's unbelievable
Are they in their 70s yet?
Mid 70s Maybe 70s yet? Mid-70s.
Mid-70s.

Is he really the best center ever?
No, he's like top five.
He's like really fucking good.
I mean, that's still pretty good.
Yeah.

To be a Hall of Famer at center is pretty wild.

Definitely.
So everybody buy...
It's coolcoolcool.net, right?

Okay.
He doesn't even fucking know.
Great plug.
We have a website.
Our guys learn
Japanese while
everyone else is
working hard promoting
that.
I was like,
by the way,
we got a record.
No,
they're going to
hate me.
They're all going
to be so mad at me.
Who's your manager
in that vein?
They're managing
themselves.
It's just diffused.
Save that money,
baby.
That's what I like.
It's a very
anti-manager talk. Save that money. what I like. Very anti-manager talk.
Save that money.
Yeah, we'll have anti-manager talk off the air.
So you're excited to do GM Cruise?
Yeah, you know, like, yes, of course.
I mean, I'm psyched that Remain Light is on the boat.
Oh, wow.
That's interesting.
I think that's just going to be different from other stuff
that I've certainly done on the boat.
And then people are, I think it's going to be special for that. I mean, it's like, I think it's just going to be different from other stuff that I've certainly done on the boat. I think it's going to be special for that.
I mean, it's like,
I think it's one of those things,
I think it's going to be my sixth
year that I've done it.
I think people can get
jaded about it because it's a long time out there
and stuff like that on the boat.
I love it. I love all the different
sets that you end up doing.
Us and Cool Cool Cool and
Rhymeopoulos on the band.
Oh, his band's on it too? Damn, you're triple dipping.
You making that money?
Enough.
Enough to go to Japan.
Yeah, because
that Jam Cruise gets expensive.
Dude, you start
seeing that bill, all the alcohol.
You're in alcohol prison.
In that fucking boat.
And everything else that's on that fucking boat.
I love the Jam Cruise.
It's amazing.
It's awesome.
They never invite me.
The best thing about it, because you're a podcast star now.
Why isn't there a podcast on it?
You could probably go on and do, honestly,
trivia. Yeah, you'd be the perfect candidate.
Yeah, do trivia and also be
artist at large. Yeah, Anna.
Annabelle, I mean.
Annabelle.
Shout out to Annabelle.
Thanks for booking all the hosts.
The cool thing about Jam Cruise is
even at festivals,
you don't really get the hang time. You get a couple
hours of catering. You get five days with your boys. You're stuck. You are stuck together. Also, because of that, you don't really get the hang time. You get a couple hours of catering.
You get five days with your boys.
You're stuck.
You are stuck together.
But also because of that, you become a fucking degenerate,
alcoholic fucking.
I'm puffing cigs with everyone.
I'm ripping with, you know.
No, there's no drugs on the boat.
I mean, it's a very nice family.
I've heard there's no drugs on the boat, actually. Oh, whatever.
It's illegal.
It's illegal.
Oh, whatever, guys.
It's a little rough that we're starting tour
right after that.
Oh, my God.
You go straight to Florida.
That's the worst, dude. We always at least take
two days off. I know.
I think we're doing
the Remain Light shows right after that.
Then we hit the road.
Then you have three days off
to get to Charleston.
So that's good.
So head on out.
Honestly,
go see Cool Cool.
And if Remain in Light,
his other band's on tour,
you should go see that
because it's so fucking cool
to see those dudes.
Fucking our homies,
our boys.
Yeah.
Fucking backup legends.
Woo!
It's fucking tight.
And shout out to
Ryan Maplu band as well. Oh yeah. How was that tour? I love it, man. It's so great And shout out to Ryan Maploo Band as well

and get, you know,
things you're uncomfortable about.
Get comfortable because you're stuck with yourself.
So, love yourself, baby.
Spend time yourself like Andy did in that bathroom
in Germany.
That's a callback. That's called a callback.
Beat your meat.
And never give up.
See, I could have given up
beating off when I had the jock itch
in San Francisco, but I didn't.
I'm out there still
beating my meat.
And now he sold out Bomberg.
And now he sold out Bomberg.
Yeah,
hell yeah.
Now we're selling
10,000 tickets in Bomberg.
Never give up.
Never give up.
Never give up on yourself
and never give up on your meat.
All right.
God,
that sounded great.
I'm not ending the podcast like that.
Yes, we are.
All right,
goodbye.
