Wow. We're in. And we're live. Andy Frasca's World Saving Podcast on the podcast tour, ladies and gentlemen. Yes, we are on the podcast tour. We're out here. I got Todd Glass, the happiest guy in the room always. Mr. Happy. Mr. Happy. Hi, Andy. How you doing, buddy? I'm doing good. What's going on? I'm just trying to behave and, you know, just be present. Not too much. You know?

Three days into the tour, you never know. You know? People might go, Todd's a little much. I would never say that. I don't think you're a lot. Really? I really don't. You feel... I will generally say that on air that I don't think you're a lot. Really? I really don't. You feel, you feel,

uh, I will generally say that on air that I don't think you're a lot, but I also know you so well. Yeah. Like, yeah, it's, it's, you know what it is?

It's a little bit of paranoia. You piece of shit. I don't think you get this part on the podcast. This is what he does. We got Ben here. He does it on purpose. We got Ben from volume.com on tour with us. We have Ben here. He does it on purpose. We got Ben from volume.com on tour with us. We have corporate Ben.

We've been calling him corporate Ben. We've got corporate in the building on tour with us, making sure that we get all the content we can for volume.com. Joke, joke. You know what? Let me start by saying this. All right, tell me. Because I like to get the niceties

out of the way I'll show you the time I'm having and when I'm paranoid maybe people will think this is all I want to do in life it's not only the show so Philadelphia is a little rowdy and one stand up is a little

they're quieter in one city I look at it like the whole day. So for me, it's the show after the show, and all those things count. So if the stand-up goes great one night, it doesn't matter. I weigh it all in. So I'm having a great time. You might go, well, we all know that, but I'll say it. I'll lay it down.

It's a good group. You love it? I do. This is a very good group of people. I didn't know Ben, and a day later, you feel like you know the guy. Of course, we've known each other a little while and Bo. It's a good Sean.

The people we met, some of them you forget their names, but there's a lot of nice... I said the same thing in Denver when I did the podcast. It's so funny. There's a lot of nice people backstage. I'm having a well, there's a lot of nice people backstage. A lot of people. I'm having a really good time.

I feel like there's about to be a but. No, no, no. That being said, I'm fucking done. No, no, no. You'll get it now. There is something coming, but it's not that. I hate to ever even talk about age. Not in a No, no, no, no. You'll get it now. There is something coming, but it's not that because there's no.

So, you know, I hate to ever even talk about age, not in a delusional way, but because it has nothing to do with who I am. The year I was born, the things that make me who I am have nothing to do with my age. But as I get older, sometimes I'm paranoid. I never wanted to be do any, like when I was 16, I don don't want to walk I don't want to be someone said I would work out for three hours a day guy goes you know you could do that in 20 minutes I go yeah but I'd have to pick up the pace I'd rather go slow and just take forever

so I don't want to be I don't want to be cold I don't want to be hot I don't when you're 18 and you say that it's like oh Todd's you know they all but as you get older I go does it look grumpy? That's my paranoia because I'm not. I'm fucking, like,

I get in funks and I get sad but not when I'm around the group. I'm always in a good mood. Now, the lighting yesterday is what made me get upset. That lighting. Oh, my God. Explain the picture I want you to explain

Like the moment And then I want to And I know what you're about to say And then I want to rebuttal I'm glad I said that up front Because all that's true There's no but really It's the fuller picture

But you guys are pieces of shit I could cry When the tours are no but really, it's the fuller picture. It's like, but you guys are pieces of shit and I'm done with this fucking tour. I could cry, I could, you know, when the tours are that last thing and how many people you met backstage that were just, you go, wow, it reminds you how good we can be as a species when you are around really good people and you're

the common denominator. So, you know, that's what Phil said about you last night too. But I know it's uncomfortable to get compliments, that's why I'm looking down. To make your life easier. So I am a fanatic. And I'm also aware this isn't my tour. Like, I do it when I open up for somebody. The green room.

If I'm opening up for Gaffigan or whoever I'm opening up for. You know, unless it's someone that goes, Todd, you do what you want. A lot of them do say that. They go, you just do what you want with the green room. It's always a better place. But I know this isn't my tour. So I go, Todd, you do what you want. A lot of them do say that. They go, you just do what you want with the green room. It's always a better place. But I know this isn't my tour, so I go, Todd, you can't have. It's not yours.

You're on another tour. So with the lighting backstage, now folks, I don't know how to get you. You don't see it. You're never going to see a picture of people listening. If Ken is the most egregious, disgusting, gross, bright light in a room... Like a prison cafeteria.

Yeah. And a room that has a lot of stains and a lot of dirt on the walls. But it was actually not a bad room. It was just unclean. So when the lights go down, it doesn't look a little better. The only way I know how to say it, it doesn't fuck a little better. It's night and day.

So there's no in-between in this room. I'm sorry. I have to go long, and I apologize. There's no in-between. We've got an hour, bro. There's no in-between. This is the green room. There's no in-between.

It's either. Even I would brought it up a little bit. But I'd rather have it a little too dark than bright like that. So when it would change, like somebody just. Believe me, you don't understand. I have to hide the rage it brings out in me but when somebody you're hiding the rage except for that one time oh my god i thought so so so somebody would just turn it up and by the way i'm not the only one somebody there last night i could tell when i looked at him a guy he lived he went i i'm with

you like he got he got it you know we weren't turning it up. I know. Sometimes they would. They would go like, and I go, finally, I go, Todd, let it be. And you go, oh, no, put it down. And I'm like, no. At one point, it was less stressful for me. I'm telling you. I'm telling you what was inside of me.

Unless I'm lying, I'm a sick fuck. At one point, I realized it was easier and more calming to leave them up. And I think that's a good thought to have. Explain to the audience, though, this is the green room. This is where no one sees. This is just for people backstage working on stuff on their computers. Sean's blind as a bat. See, it's so funny.

I get that. I didn't even know that. I get it. I get it. That's why at one point it's so funny. I get that. Oh, I didn't even know that. I get it. I get it. That's why at one point it was easier to go leave them up. The conversation about why it doesn't bother most people, bright lights, is for another time. This was leave them up. And then you dropped.

Look, with some time in between, now I know what you were doing. So you were trying to be nice to me. Yeah. But it was so ugly. And then when I brought him down, you'll see the video. So I'm not crazy. Go, something that's not trying to make me look wrong, but make me look right.

Get some pictures backstage. And post them on your podcast. Someone posted a photo. We were in the fucking pitch dark. It was a candle. He always lights a candle in the middle of the room. I like that. That's romantic. I know Todd's vibe phone. He always lights a candle in the middle of the room. That's kind of nice.

I like that. That's romantic. I know Todd's vibe. And we had a candle lit in the middle of the table. People were hanging out and they were talking. I like it darker, to be fair. But I would say I would have brought it up, too. I want to preface that. I just got a photo. Someone sent me a selfie.

Is this it? That's 4 p.m. This is 4 p.m. Todd wants this place like it is Ibiza up in this place. I'm not going to have this conversation if you're going to...

Todd, do you see this picture? You're reacting to me comedically. I'm not. I'm saying, I just said, Andy. Do you see this? I do.

Do you see this? It's a dark blue in that bitch, dude. Here's my problem. It looked like SeaWorld. I'm going to wait for you. Do you see this? It's a dark blue in that bitch. Here's my problem. She had the flashlight. It looked like SeaWorld. I'm going to wait for you. Okay, sorry.

Here's the problem. Okay. I said, like, why can't anyone else defend me and go, and actually Todd said he thought it was too dark, too. Well, get over here. But I'll take the two. No, it's only we recorded the show. Okay.

We're recording this, so people will be able to go, he did just say that 30 seconds ago. All they have to do is press a 15 second button if they're curious. Boom, boom, boom. And they go, yeah, he did say it. It was too dark. Matter of fact, I turned on a lamp. I did before and I said, because I thought it's too dark but again I say, if I

can't have what's perfect, I'll take a little too dark, then way too fucking bright. Because as it was as bright when it got bright as it was dark when it got dark. There was no in between. I plugged in a lamp. And I said, is that better? And you said, no. Turn the lamp off.

But later, I got it. People came in. They needed light. I get it. I'm defending you. Defend me like I defend you. I understand your thought process. Sean's trying to look things up on the computer.

I get why they got turned on. Honestly, I do. And to me that I said, just Todd, let that be. That's less stressful. But as a friend, like that's the same part of me. I don't always react the same. That's the same part of me going, Todd, there's a reason they want

the lights on backstage and you have to let go of something that means a lot to you, but do it. Now, as a friend though, it's fucking hard to be in a gross, disgusting atmosphere when I know how sexy and vibey it can be. I thought you were talking

about us as disgusting people. I'm like, Jesus fucking Christ. There are these three guys and people will go watch them. Go watch three of their clips, and they're on TikTok. And they're the triplets. They're the something brothers.

They're the triplets. And I am fucking addicted to them. They have 9 million followers. These are interesting young kids that most of the time do it in their car. And their dynamic is us. And it's you and my friend daniel kino the only two people i thought and it made me feel better because i go like it's so funny like i love you to death but the longer i sometimes i go why am i picking on you like sometimes i jokingly go

he's a fucking rude he fucking he's a rock star and i'm like andy why don't you andy you're picking your nose and scratching yourself last night he was like a monkey. I'm not kidding around. I watched him. My safe word truth. You went, you're picking your hand, then you pick your arms, then you pick your ear, then you're scratching your head. I'm like, oh, my God. Maybe I'll have to go to the fist bunk with it.

Eating pizza that hasn't been in the fridge from overnight. That's the thing he does that I can't stand. I'll just eat pizza that hasn't been in the fridge. He leaves it out on the counter overnight and then eats it in the morning. I can't do that. I think I would do that too. Maybe I'm the weirdo. Hold my hand. Now kiss me on the mouth. No, no.

No, not late. No one's around. But I can tell you besides the green room like that, I love every second of being on this. And you know what I meant? Like, I once said to somebody, and I was going full circle here,

and then I'll calm down a little, that I told, I remember, I met my friend, I won't say her name. I met her mom, his mom, her mom.

Right. And her mom was like older. And I thought, my friend is just like her mom. It's just cute because she's 20. She's always complaining and this, but it's cute. She's 20. Right.

But it doesn't age well complaining. So I get paranoid. Like, I'm having the time of my fucking life. You'll just always, and sometimes I, like, think when I'm with you guys, I never, when I was 18, so I don't want someone to go, oh, because of his age. That has nothing to do with my age. I'll tell you what it has to do with my age. Very little.

It has to do with when I was 19, I was the same person. I'm taking a cab. I'm not walking. I hear myself at the end of the day and I go, oh, I hope they don't look like, oh, I'm not walking. I'm not doing this. What are you, with Larry David? But I was always like that.

Do you understand what I'm saying? 100%. Todd thinks like, you know, like Jurassic. What the fuck just happened? 12 minutes on lighting? But Todd thinks when he wakes up, it's like that scene in Jurassic Park where you see the water shaking and then

the kids are just like. Yeah. Be quiet. Be quiet. He's awake. He's awake. We don't think like that, Todd. We fucking love you. I like watching you. You look like when we get to the venue about the chairs. You're like an Australian shepherd herding sheep. By the way, that's not an insult.

They're the smartest dog. Where are the lights? I saw him yesterday. He's like, where are the lights? Yo, turn the tables. Hey, we got to get the lights, dude. Can we talk about that? Can we start a bonfire?

I got some extra chairs. You're going to get me worked up, but look, I'm willing. Look, I know I can be insane, but I'm telling you something. No, you're going to say, I know, I know, but inwardly, whether it's you or you or you or you, look, there could be another truth. Like if I wasn't around, maybe you go, I love Todd, but I really do love him, but the chairs aren't as important as he thinks they are. Like you know or you. Look, there could be another truth. Like, if I wasn't around, maybe you'd go, I love Todd, but I really do love him, but the chairs aren't as important as he thinks they are. Like, you know who you are.

I'm not going to go, do you really agree with me? But I'm telling you. Now, whether we could do it or not is a completely different story. But thinning the room out, I say this a lot about a lot of things, and for the people listening, it means, and it's a common thing, not all clubs do it,

but if a room is set for a certain amount i think we had like you know 150 or something but the room was set for more um uh that you do you know uh that you thin it out so like i've been to clubs where the sunday night they go hey it's a room that holds like 250 300 they go sunday night we only have 125 you think you can't but they take two seats out every table that holds six they put four the tables of four they put two everybody has a little more room it does not look thinned out it just shows how tight people are in there they can all turn for your podcast they have enough room to turn their chairs so thinning that room doing it that way thinning those chairs out would have made a big fucking difference they might have you, you know, but it's more, it's very important. And to

me, like, it pained me to know that they wouldn't do it. Can I say shit about them? Talk that shit. Go ahead. I was not impressed. What, City Winery? Well, you know, it's like, you want to be, do you want to be a music venue? Or do you want to be in the restaurant business?

At one point, you're doing comedy at a restaurant. and it looks like a restaurant. And the sad part is they should hear this, because the changes they would need to make... Bo tag at CityWatery. I know this beast. Not the chains like

some of the smaller comedy chains do it better, but some of them, I won't mention the names, but the owners of that comedy club, they go, oh, we have shrimp tempura now. The bigger the menu, the shittier the club. They're restaurants. You can serve

food, but it's what food you serve and how you serve it. But that should have been thinned out the room. They all ran around making a big deal. You know why? Because they didn't see the value in it. But I'm at clubs that do it all the time. It's not a the room. They all ran around making a big deal. You know why? Because they didn't see the value in it. But I'm at clubs that do it all the time. It's not a big ass. They walk in

like it's not a big deal. Just like the venue the night before. They come in, they go, how many we sell? Okay, we got exactly the amount of chairs we have. Leave it like it is. Pull 50 seats. I'm at the Vermont Comedy Club. What are our tickets for Sunday Late Show? Okay, pull 50 seats. And it looks great and everyone's. What are our tickets for Sunday Late Show? Okay, pull 50 seats.

And it looks great and everyone's happy. But they didn't do it. You know why? Because it is a pain in the ass. I'm giving it to you. And if you don't see the value in it, it's a meme trying to relate with them, but it's real. If you don't see the value in it, yeah, I get why they don't do it. It's a pain in the fucking ass.

But when you see the value in it, and they were all about the food. All they give is shit. The food. People look like a food venue. It looked like a restaurant. And so it's like, you know what it's like? It's a restaurant with a fucking nice PA. And it's a restaurant with a kick-ass sound system. But they're fucking restaurants.

Wow. So we're looking for a new venue next time we do a live pod in New York. So next time we do a live pod in New York. I hear what you're saying. By the way, no, he's right. I asked you if I could talk about it. I said yes. You're totally correct.

I'm all about vibe. That's why I always hate when my agent puts me at a 1500 cap room when I can only draw 800 people in a town. But we have to do it for optics and blah, blah, blah, because fucking music industry is a bunch of politics. It's all about posters.

Yeah, all about what venue you're at. But I agree with you. If you can't pack a full room like that, go to the small room and make it feel like a vibe. And I agree. I'm not bitching about that. I'm not insulting myself either. You can have a career that's gone very, very well

and have a night here and there. The point of the story wasn't to say, oh, there weren't, you know, it happens all the time to every performer. But it was more that venue. They really did, and they wouldn't, they thinned it out. They couldn't understand it because they didn't. Because instead

of having some, it was like, they get these people that ran an Applebee for 50 years. Instead of somebody that dealt with talent and knows what they like and how important it is. The heat in the green room. Look, I know this. I've been doing this a long time. And he goes, the guy was being nice. It wasn't his fault. He had been there six months. He goes,

yeah, that's been broke for a while. Not broke. It's not fixed. There's heat in the green room. So that means that place has been open for two years and that's not high priority to go, we have to stop making it boiling in the green room. If it means having AC vac people in here and we got to spend, that's not low on the list, but it's low on their list because they're not performer smart. And that doesn't mean they can't be in business for another 50 years. But anybody that

listens that really knows goes, yeah, Todd's fucking right. It doesn't mean they can't have some great names performing there. See if they go back. See if they go back. I saw some good names out there. They got some really good names. Let's see what I hear. Because I used to just go to a club because I go, I wonder if that's a good club. And I would see a friend of mine's picture up there and I go, oh, and I take the date. But then I talk to him. I go, yeah. He goes, oh, yeah, I didn't have a good time there at all. I'm like, oh, I just saw your name there.

And you're right. I took for granted. So let's see. And I think he was mad too because we put on his rider two bags of sweet candy and savory snacks. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you think that...

Do you think... Anyway, thank... Glass... So... By the way, Philadelphia, my brother goes, Todd, seeing you eating that candy while the whole band was playing

because I knew you were in your glory. Don't let Todd's 18-minute 37 rant about how rooms should be take for granted that we're having a great fucking time here. Well, I said that up front.

That's why I was like, I mean, he is completely right about everything. You're right. It's all about fun. And also this is new. Like we're, we're normally a rock band who plays like we'll play any fucking club,

no chairs. So like, right. This is my first show with like having chairs and like, it's fun as fuck. Yeah. But it's a different fuck, but it's a different environment.

And that's why we had to get the vibe master in here. Even if that room looked like a Beezer 1984 in NYC winery, I could hear, you know, he's like, do you want to play some music? I was just like, no, but I hear you. But do you think that serious question? Do you think the city winery would have allowed us to have a nitrous tank on stage like Philadelphia? Brought on stage during the show. Do you think they would have kicked us out

if we would have done some dumb shit? There's no... Look, there's no... I don't mind going off on them. I usually don't go off on places because like... Because what I'm saying, I'm not wishing them ill. I'm not saying anything bad about the employees that work there. It's just their...

You did call a guy Small Dick Billy. Well, you know what? He was the guy who wouldn't let me turn the lights off in the green room. Hey, Small Dick Billy, it's fucking hot in here. What is this, 1944? Turn the boiler off. But it was still fun. And the food was good. I'll give him that.

The food was very good, but that's not... Anyway. Talk to the restaurant. 18 minutes. No, I got... I'm all, all. 18 minutes. Now we're at 20. Well, we talked about, it was more than just the vibe. It started as, as maybe close the white curtain.

That'll like just give you a little filter, but still let light in. Let's get the sun off you. Thank you. I know you're kidding. You know, the thing is I can't react because then I react, you'll go, I know, I know, I know. But we, it was more about. I want you're kidding. You know, the thing is, I can't react. Because when I react, you'll go, I know, I know, I know. But it was more about. I want you to react. It was more about what got me when I yelled in the green room. And by the way, that yelling to me is.

I didn't feel like it was attacking at all. It's just you getting out your feelings. Right, right. City winery, am I right? City. Oh! That was good. Damn, you made Todd stand up

Unbelievable I might just go Sometimes good timing motherfucker So that's that So what What did you have to eat today Let me tell you something I can talk about the set up

It's an obsession You should just do a podcast about this I feel about... We are. No, I mean like a series, like a master class, like a... Here's how to set up your club.

I'm not making fun of you, I swear to God. You can make fun of me. But you're right. I know you love me. But about being right, let me just say this, it makes me feel not gross.

I think I'm right most of the time because that took being wrong sometimes. Meaning, I played different music at clubs when i was 22 and 23 and then brian reagan goes here's my suggestion for walk-in music and i went you're right i used to make an announcement when i was 23 if the club let you it was always a big deal from behind are you ready to make some noise and and now for music yes because they're coming out with fucking music you can go make noise and then they fucking take their music and shoot over it.

But for a podcast or something like that, make noise doesn't work. So I changed my announcement. I went to the Punchline in San Francisco and I remember their opening announcement. It wasn't loud. The lights came down and they went, ladies and gentlemen, we'd like to take this opportunity to welcome you to the Punchline. And then they let it come. And then he goes, I make it live because sometimes I need to repeat it. He goes, everybody's trying

to get a crowd ready. Whether they play loud music or soft music, just everyone has a different idea what gets them ready. And amongst probably the right, the group they get, not for every comedian, not for every comedian. I won't make that real clear, but for most, calming them.

Calming them. Setting some, hey, we should let you know at the punchline that we have a zero tolerance for heckling. Some other clubs have a warning system. We like to let you know that unfortunately, if you yell out once, we do have to remove you from the showroom. The only reason we do that is because that's

the way our customers have wanted it since we opened our doors in 1981. It's like, yeah, it says that, yeah, we're a restaurant. We serve drinks, but we have rules. This is not a restaurant where the customer is always right. And that announcement says it. Like, no, we couldn't. So I changed my announcement.

So I think I'm right most of the time because I have been able to be wrong and change. I didn't just come with all these opinions. I've watched, I've learned, all I did was steal great ideas from every club as I tour around. I'm wrong a lot, and that's how you end up being right a lot. If you acknowledge it and change

your ways, that is a better way to do it. Do you like cocaine? I know. Oh. Somebody get this guy a latte, extra shot. Someone had nose... Yeah, nasal cocaine. Saline, cocaine, and Philly.

God, Philly is just like... That's a new thing. They were... You know, it's so funny. I'm doing this show, and my brother's in the audience with my wife, and I'm like up there, and I go,

I have to run over in between. I'm like, I don't really do nitrous, you know? I don't... I'm like, I have to run over in between. I'm like, I don't really do nitrous. I'm nervous. Todd ripped a balloon on stage. Todd, you owe it to home. Is that crazy to go that that's such a giggly, warm

feeling when a whole crowd's doing that to you? It just warms your heart because it's so much silliness being thrown at you. And it works. It works. I'm like, I think I'm going to do this nitrous balloon. As we found out after you

are a pro in the clubs. You are a pro. I think you should do a masterclass on how to set up your comedy club. Do you think this show is a fun show? Is it an entertaining show? You've seen shows. This isn't a rock show. It feels like it's a little bit of both. What do you think of this whole show as a package? You've watched the show now.

It's very easy for me to say because I think innately you know it's everything you want it to be. It's like last night when John from not John, Roots. Oh, Captain Kirk Douglas from the Roots. Yes, yes. He was just

saying because it was chaotic out there and everything he didn't know if he could match that I go oh no you'll see the journey of the show and then 10 minutes later he could be having a heart to heart with you and that's it and then it'll become this and then it'll become that

well explain to the audience why he was freaked out I mean it's a lot Sean is larger than life and he's doing these song par I mean, it's a lot. You know, Sean is larger than life and he's doing these song parodies and then there's music and then you're playing bum, bum, bum. And there's just a lot going on.

And then he comes out and fucking on the sax and just like shreds it. And it's a lot. But then, you know what? I've done the show twice and I know this from doing podcasts over the years.

You know, when you're hanging out with your friends and somebody, you know, when you're hanging out with your friends and somebody everyone's laughing so hard and then someone tells a story that's a little sad and they're like oh sorry I brought it down you don't have to be sorry it makes the fun funner

it's just all when someone's telling a story that might not be hilarious or funny but it's interesting that's great too so that's what it is I know it's an overused term a lot but it's interesting. That's great, too. So that's what it is. It's just this sort of I know it's an overused term a lot, but it's like really, really it's organized, organized,

organized fucking chaos. Hell yeah. I love that. That's what I call everything I do. I'm trying to package it so I know what I'm doing. Listen, I know it's chaotic, but I plan this chaos. Organized boredom.

What do you think? How are you feeling about this show? Me? Oh, sorry. I didn't know I was going to get to talk. Just kidding. That's a joke. I feel great about it. I think we're doing great. The most interesting thing to me so far has just been

how different the two shows were. But they were both great in different ways. Yeah, Philly was chaos and it felt like The most interesting thing to me so far has just been how different the two shows were, like, just in terms of the energy. But they were both great in different ways. Yeah, Philly was chaos, and it felt like a rock podcast, and the other one was, like, a really thoughtful... I was telling Ben earlier that I kind of feel like the New York one might even play better when we play it, like, when we put it out for people to watch. I agree.

You know what I mean? For a home viewer, because, like, that stuff at Philly... Because we will be posting every one of these shows on volume.com and we're going to call it the sunday scaries and uh you can watch us uh perform these for the next three weeks probably starting in a week after this um so i'll be fun i'm i think we're getting jokes i think i'm we're getting laughs we're getting heartfelt stuff like people are getting applauding for the songs we're playing and just the overall vibe. It is a special thing because we're all fucking... These are my best friends. It's different than

the band. The band I've been with for 15 years, I have all these crazy emotions with and crazy... They're more like family. It's great to have Sean, who's part of my family, on this involvement so it doesn't feel like I'm going solo like Tupac. It's like a little mixture of both, but I fucking love hanging out with you guys.

You guys are my favorite people I like to hang out with. It's fun to be out of your element. Even when you yell at me in the green room. Have you ever done, how many have you guys done? This is the third. Maybe five overall, though. Five overall? Yeah, something like that, yeah.

Because I did Denver. It's just fun to do something you don't do all the time and get better and sharper and new skills. Yeah, and it made me get out of fucking autopilot. When I'm in the band, sometimes I'm just going through the motions. Exactly. Like when you call me Ernie before a sax solo. I think you almost did that in Philly, didn't you?

I almost did it in Philly. That's so funny. I've only done it a few times. I think it should offend everybody more than me. I'm always seeing the big man. I'm always seeing the big man out there. I forgot... Have forgotten to thank when I have the band.

Once in a... It's probably happened three times. Literally just three. And I get backstage, I'm like, holy fuck, I run back out. I'm like, no, no, no, no, no, no. Because it feels so horrible. But I write everybody's name down that way because I get too fucking scared. It's fun to not be on autopilot.

Yeah, and it's fun to kind of get back to how why i started music in the first place and when i was like in the fucking streets fucking craigslist and everyone trying to get a show together and finding local musicians in every fucking city and kind of like having a band practice on stage like a quick band all right we're good good all right let's go you know it's like i love that chaos and then to make it and then it feels professional it's just it's keeping me present but i love people's And then it feels professional It's keeping me present But I love people's reaction to it No one really knew what to expect And they all like it way more

They all like it and they think it's a rich experience There's a lot going on Do you think we party too much, Todd? Well, I'm not going to say yes That's part of the reason I come out I feel like I can do more with you It's like when you're with Doug Benson Back when I first started smoking pot You feel like I can do more with you It's like when you're with Doug Benson Back when I first started smoking pot

Gaffigan isn't ripping lines at 4am In some weird hotel room It's been fun I just get assassinated I did see Gaffigan is in New York. He was at the Knicks game. Oh, really? You should text him.

I will. Maybe he'll join us for dinner. Yeah, we should have dinner with him. Let's do it in the city or something. You're going on tour with Gaffigan. Do you think some of your podcast, I think it probably will, your music will get better And your podcast Will get better Like the good thing

Yeah Yeah Cause I've thought that With my act Oh yeah Oh yeah I'm playing songs I haven't played before

Because I'm not relying on Sean I have to like Actually be the first person To start the songs Mostly So like I gotta play all my songs Where I was like

Playing piano And start Wrote the song on piano Versus like Write the song with like versus like write a song with like a guitar because I'm not that good at guitar. You know, it's like, so like I had to relearn a lot of these songs, like dream. I haven't played in forever.

I'm like, what chords are those? You know, it's just like, so it's like, it's kind of gets me on my wits to, uh, you know, just fucking get better as an, as an entertainer. But I did like a, There's a bunch of nice compliments about how we're just like really good entertainers. It doesn't matter what we do. We are going to entertain.

And I just wanted to make people know that it's not all about drugs and pussy and cocaine. We could do this show. But it's not about that. Oh, no. I was talking about everyone's dick last night. Yeah.

I couldn't believe it. I, no. I was talking about everyone's dick last night. Yeah. I couldn't believe it. I was like, I was asking Captain Kirk if Prince has a big dick. I don't remember. Why am I so fascinated with dick size? Because you're honest. I think most people are. I'm so fascinated. I'm looking at everyone's dicks right now.

I'm looking at all three. Look at the dong on Todd, dude. Jesus Christ. Remember I told you before the show? Look how big it is No, listen It's like a tribal thing It goes back to where

I do, I go I'll like zoom in On somebody's crotch You know So I thought I gotta be careful That's why sometimes You know, you cross your legs

Have you been getting pussy On this tour, Todd? No No, you're not No, no Well, Andy No offense to your fans not No, no Well, Andy, no offense to your fans But, oof Oh, no

Shut up You know what? Have there been men flirting with you on the tour? No, no, no, no But I've met You know, I only preface it because it's the true way I feel And I hate what I just said about, oh, you're slim pickings. All for the joke.

Because I always say get the fans. Okay, I'll look down again because compliments are hard. I think people get the fans they deserve. So a lot of entertainers don't realize when they complain about their fans. Like in radio, they used to do it a lot. They used to go, oh, we did a remote. Oh, the people are. You're like, yeah, they're your fans.

Or comedians will go... You're dating him. Right. I'll hear comedians go, oh, and I don't say anything. I hear from a distance, I heard a comedian go, he's opening up for this comedian that draws an amphitheater. He goes, well, today all the crowds, they're just a little more chatty. They all heckle. They all do this.

I don't say it, but I think, no, his crowds. I'm on tour with Gaffigan or even Tosh or Spade. They're not yelling out and heckling. But you get the fans you deserve. And you get, I mean, there's a lot of nice people. Like, look, you know, I'm sure when you're at a certain level, you can't do this. But I like that I can still hang out and meet people.

Certain nights you want to get away, you need to get out of the situation. You're like, okay, I just need to go be by myself. But guess what? More than that, you meet really nice people. You got really nice fans and they come out and they're kind and they seem gentle. Different kinds of people, which is nice.

Not like just 80 dudes. Right. Well, that's... Jam concerts is 80 dudes. So sick of jam band shows. Like, there's only concerts you go to where the line at the men's restroom

is longer than the line at the women's restroom. I went to an Humphrey show and I just went in the women's restroom one time. No one even noticed. There weren't

anybody in there. But you know what? That's the crowd they attract. Oh, God. Has our hospitality been good for you Glass When you ask that If it wasn't I wouldn't

I'm just asking Everything's perfect Seriously I mean seriously Bo knows his shit You get your flights That stuff you don't take for granted, Bo knows his shit. You know, you get your flights, you get your, you know, that stuff you don't take for granted.

Like when you're on the road with, you know, someone that knows what they're doing. Yeah, it's nice. Getting to the hotels, my room key was there. Like Bo does a fucking kick-ass job. Let's go. Get over here. Get over here, Bo.

Let's have a tour without like one dumbass, you know? Like Joe Floyd. Hey, Bo, come here. Sit on this twin bed with us. How's, you know, this is a different transition for the tour. This is different than the band. How are you feeling about it? Dude, honestly, I've been feeling great.

Aside from travel logistics kind of a pain in the ass, just taking the train and like having to haul all the gear around. But, I mean, if that's the most difficult thing that we have to deal with, then like, that's not too bad, if you ask me. I was already troubleshooting how you could carry your, I'm not lying, the posters. Yeah.

So what I thought was not a cylinder that's that wide, and I go and I would Velcro it to the side of your suitcase. Ooh, that's not a bad idea. And you would just put it there, and I was like, the other day,

I'm like, I'm going to fix that for him. Yeah. I'm going to fix that for him. Well, didn't I thought about buying tubes too, but like, you got to roll them so,

so tight to like, get them in there. Oh, yeah. We need a nice girthy tube. Great poster talk, guys. Jesus fucking Christ. Our fans are going to love the poster talk. Bo, Bo.

How does this... Is this harder or easier than doing the band? I think easier so far it has been anyways. The first night in Philly, obviously it wasn't even bad or anything. It was just like, yeah, it's new in figuring out the runner show and how we, how we do all that.

But obviously doing the last, like the Ophelia's one, the New Orleans one, like those were good. Yeah. I don't know. Like testing, you know what I'm saying? Like to get that practice. And so I think this was way easier coming into this, especially because we're not doing it.

These first couple, we're not doing live. It's a couple of less people, I think this was way easier coming into this especially because we're not doing it these first couple we're not doing live it's a couple of people I think right yeah so yeah no it's been easy I think by the way we are doing a live podcast on volume calm Thursday live at Ophelia's we're gonna be facetiming Todd glass from the Jim Gaffigan tour yes we got Sam talent amazing comedian, and we have Josh Blue as our guest,

and we have a special musical guest that we will not talk about, but it's very juicy. We won't talk about it. Very girthy. We won't talk about it. Yeah.

But you're having fun, though. Yeah. Dude, honestly, I do like the, it's like a variety show. The mixture of music, the comedians, like,

the heartfelt shit, Nitrous Mafia, like, it's a lot of fun. Yeah,, the heartfelt shit, Nitrous Mafia. It's a lot of fun. It's been cool. Nitrous Mafia came out to our show in Philadelphia, put the fucking tank on the stage with bandanas on and walked out of the room. Ten minutes later, you're

doing a speech about how your mom's cancer free. It's beautiful. It's beautiful, dude. It's good. I love it. It's a game of thr dude It's good I love it You know the It's like Game of Thrones Yeah The Nitrous Mafia guy

Yeah So I'm sitting in a booth With him I think it Where'd we go Johnny Brenda's Is it Johnny Brenda's Yep

I thought it was John and Brenda's No it's like Johnny Brenda's Yeah And he goes Yeah I go Oh and then the

Nitrous King came up He goes yeah that's me I go no it isn't That'd be so funny I go He goes yes it is I go no He, and then the nitrous king came up. He goes, yeah, that's me. I go, no, it isn't. That'd be so funny. I go, he goes, yes, it is. I go, no. And he had something on his head like that. He goes, no.

And he shows me. I'm like, oh, my God. It's the nitrous lobbyist. I couldn't believe it. He got in character for me. It's hilarious. Dude, yeah. Philly is a fucking weird beast, dude.

Man, I like it there. I fucking love it, dude. Any city that gets excited. Yeah. It's got a little Buffalo in it. Similar people. When their team wins, they're out there eating horse shit. It's like you got to respect a city who fucking just loves.

They'll flip a car whether they win or lose. They don't care. Yeah, you're from Philly. You loved it being home for the 10th hundredth time this week? Yeah, I know. I was home two weeks ago. I did. I like being home.

Bo, thank you. Give it up for Bo for killing it on the tour. There he is. Philly was good. New York was good. We have Raleigh tomorrow or Wednesday. We got to drive to Hartford, Connecticut tomorrow to go to Mordor.

Go to Mordor. Go to the Chateau de Morador to interview Goose. Everyone is scared shitless. Let's not even talk about that. We're not going to fuck shit up. We're going to give this the interview

and the respect. They think we're just going to be like, oh my god, you're going to ruin everyone's life. We're trying to use them to help us. Okay. So we're going to do a good job. You fucking idiots. What do you think this is?

God damn it. By the way, you do that all the time. Don't they see like when you bring people out, how the, you, you, you mix,

you, you're, you're Andy, but you're respectful. Yeah. Don't they see that? You do that. You've done that already.

Managers are fucking weird. All these managers are weird, dude. Every manager just overthinks everything. I know your manager listens. No, no, he overthinks everything. He's probably so pissed that that Nitrous Mafia has now 10,000 reshares.

It's got like 200,000 views. I can't believe he hasn't left you a voicemail about it, honestly. No, he doesn't call me on Mondays. He knows that my serotonin level is horrible. Does he know you play the voice promos? Oh, yeah. They're so funny. He sent one two days ago.

I showed it to... It was four minutes long. It was four minutes long. He was pissed. There's like this photo going around. This guy took a photo and paul cawthon ran out of the fucking after winter wondergrass and like i was just in the catering just talking and he like paul cawthon kicks the door out it's just frasco and he puts cocaine on his hand and

just throws it on my nose and someone took a picture of pa Paul going like this with his thumbs and my face. It's a bad picture. It's a bad picture. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I was nice that the photographer said, yeah, we're going to keep this one in the archive. But I thought it was just such a funny photo that I sent it to Schwartz. He's like, this isn't fucking funny.

But he knows it's not public, right? Yeah. Maybe he's right. But if I was your manager, I'd get it. Maybe he's right. I mean, I get it. You can't play devil's advocate. You pick a side.

Schwartz or Frasca. Nah, nah. It's probably I'll split down the middle. This is similar to the chair thing. It's like, he's not going to move the chairs. So just... I want to talk about that more. Don't get me started.

He's not going to stop partying. They're not going to move the chairs. Brian, move on. I mean, do you think I party too much? I don't think you've been that bad. I don't think I can answer that fairly. What about this last three days? I can answer fairly.

I don't think you party too much. You see me all the time. Yeah, you're fine. Are your kids at home waiting for you to come home to fucking put them to bed? No. You're 36 and single. You should be partying.

Other people should be living vicariously through you who can't do this. Nitrous oxide, is that the most dangerous thing? No. What's more dangerous than that? Cocaine. I don't know. I think cocaine is...

It's not like the 70s where you're just doing cocaine. There's some stress of maybe having fentanyl in it. It's not regulated. In the 80s... I'm not even doing that much cocaine. I'll do a toot. Maybe. Yeah. Maybe. Philly, though. In the 80s I'm not even doing that much cocaine. I'll do like a toot. Maybe. Yeah. Maybe. At Philly though. Philly was just fucking crazy.

I was just... Even me. I got... I was coked out of my goddamn head. Every corner I turned there was a pile of coke. I'm just at the end of the night just snorting it up everywhere. I go shoving it in my face. That was drywall. I'll eat spackle. One was caught with spackle. I go I'm thinking I'm snorting spackle. One Andy's friend goes it is spackle. was drywall. I'll eat spackle. One was caught with spackle. I go, I'm thinking I'm storing spackle.

One of Andy's friends goes, it is spackle. You're like, that's the best spackle I ever had. I got a good laugh last night when I go, sometimes I trust Andy. I'm in the room with him

and there's just some mushroom. It's like some weird thing and it's like stronger than usual. It looks different than, and the guy goes, yeah, I'm friends with Andy and Andy goes,

yes, that's my buddy. So I do it. And then later, I go, how do you know that guy? And he's like, oh, he vomited at a concert, and I lent him my shirt. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I go, what? I thought you knew him better than that. I took the mushrooms because I thought you were. This is my best friend. I'm a very trustworthy person. Yes. I trust everyone. It's good.

Look at my best friends. I got Todd Glass. I got Nick Gerlach. I don't know. You are completely honest with how you feel about me. That's why I love you guys. And I feel like I try to be honest with you, even if it's a little passive-aggressive. I know what I love about you.

Well, you're going to be passive-aggressive. That's your thing. Yeah. I love about you, and it really does mean everything to me. I really like being around people. I think Sean gives me this throughout the night. It doesn't mean they don't get into funks and it doesn't mean maybe some of them are depressed

but you get fucking soaked life in like when I'm around you I feel like I'm gonna fucking enjoy the night even if you part at one hour and I part at another hour while we were hanging I feel like you and I like that when you come over to my house for Thanksgiving I'm like I know it's gonna be fucking great

I know you're gonna to hang out. I like hanging out late at night. I like hanging out. And then we're in my podcast studio until like 4 or 5 in the morning. Eating pretzels and mushrooms. And I know that I'm going to have a good time. I know that I'm going to enjoy myself. I love staying up past my bedtime and talking with my gal pals. Let's get the newbie in here. Ben Holst.

Corporate Ben. Corporate Ben. Corporate Ben. He's scared. Yeah, you're scared. Get in the dungeon, dude Get in the danger zone Come sit on this twin bed Hey, Ben, how you doing? Welcome to the show Where do you want me?

Over here? Ben This here Ben Yes Are you going to get divorced after this tour? No

Good I have a real good wife She's jealous I'm out here Yeah Man, how's it been? What do you think how the tour has been going? I have a real good wife. She's jealous I'm out here. Yeah? Man, how's it been? What do you think of how the tour has been going? I'm going to sum it up like this. I feel like a great success because I tucked Andy Frasco in last night.

You did? And that, to me, is a win. You did. I walked out on my own. I made it back to Nick's and my new home. We got chopped cheeses at 3 a.m. He thought he was waking me up, but he didn't know about insomnia, Nick. He's like, I'm already up.

He's like, I've been up. I'm trying to go to sleep. He's like, one eye open, just waiting for your ass to come in. Hello. Hello, I've been waiting on you. Hello, roommate. What do you think? Is the show good?

The show is good. You said your friends had fun. Oh, my friend Sean sent me a text message. What did he say? Can I read it? Yeah, read it. Because I asked him because I wanted to give it to you because I discussed it a little bit last night. This is from my friend Sean.

Sean Eccles? Sean McCullough. We met him last night. My old bandmate from the Average. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I said, Sean, send me this text message in your words and I'll relate it to Andy and the guys. So I said, you know, tell us what you feel about the show.

He goes, yeah, man. I feel like it was a special combination of sex, drugs, and rock and roll meets middle age, masculinity, and money. Money? Because a nice nexus of music, career, brotherly love, funny jokes that hit home, and then some aspirational jamming with band. Hell yeah. I love it. And he goes on to say, there were many segments I wanted to keep going.

Loved the combo. It bridges a nice gap, and I will have to tune in more often. Hell yeah. So that's a good Yelp review. Yeah. That's good. It bridges a nice gap and I will have to tune in more often. Hell yeah. That's a good Yelp review. Yeah. My friend Sean. So I think it was a success. I mean, I was kind of worried. I was like, what are my homies going to think I'm doing with my life out here? It's terrible.

You know, this guy Frasco, all his videos just hitting the nitrous tank and having Todd Glass be a pedestrian on NYPD. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's good. That's good. Yeah. My other friend, Matt, was back there with him and both former bandmates.

It's like too many chairs, though. Too many chairs. Did he take too many chairs? They had some open chairs. You know, I have my own opinions about, Todd and I even talked about it before going in there, about spacing things out. Yeah. So yeah, for me,

and I think Bo too, like trying to get around the stage just to set cameras up and stuff. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. That was kind of hard because everyone's just pushed so far. Damn, everyone's talking shit about City Winery. Let's go. Talk your shit, man. Let's go.

No, that's it. That's it. But I've struggled with it a couple different times. We got work to do. It's a good-sized room. I appreciate you bringing pizza to the bar. You got five boxes of pizza. That was amazing.

I didn't eat it, but it was cool. Dude, you should have came. You're eating mushrooms and watching television in your hotel, and we're out here having a party. We didn't talk about it. I went, oh, my God. Woo! Last night.

Yeah, where did you end up? You're talking about last night when you guys all I did mushrooms and you know, I've done mushrooms but not that much. This was like the first time I did them. It's funny you didn't think I was going to go out last night because I was going out last night.

I saw your feet with your socks on, eating your little sandwich. I'm like, he's staying in. Then it kicked in. It kicked in. The mushrooms? Oh my God. It was the type where I could make things move.

I can make that move. You had special powers? Yeah, but I knew why. I also wanted to be aware. Yeah, because you're on mushrooms. You're able to do this. It wasn't like I was freaked out or anything. Then I thought I'll get up in about a half an hour.

I'll go meet everybody. And then I woke up at 2.30 and went downstairs and got candy. Do you love fucking candy? This man doesn't eat all day and then he'll have one meal like a fucking vampire at night and then he will eat candy. And then he'll work out.

You got a pretty dope diet. I want that because I need to work. But I have to work out 7 days a week To do that You work out 7 days a week I don't So I gotta like starve myself And then eat And then not eat it during a certain time

That's really bad for you It's called intermittent fasting I don't think you're doing it like that on a schedule Intermittent fasting is like planned out Not like I accidentally got drunk for two days and forgot to eat. Intermittent alcoholism, I think, is what you're talking about. He might have got you.

You got a point there. I'm going to give Nick the point. I'll give you. I'll clap it out. I'll clap it out for you. I'll clap it out for you. That was good. Oh man. Sorry.

But no, I think I'm right about that actually. So we got one more show, Ben Raleigh. We're going to give it all we can, right? Yes. We're going to give it all. We've been training for this for two days now. We've been training. We're ready.

Raleigh tomorrow. Come on out to the poor house. There's still like 20 tickets available. I haven't, I haven't been there. What's, what do I expect of people? It's more of a music club. It's more of a music club. You're going to love it. It's dark like 20 tickets available. I haven't been there. What do I expect of people from Raleigh? It's more of a music club. It's more of a music club. You're going to love it.

It's dark as fuck in there. It's dark as fuck. You will have... Well, there's going to be some shitty chairs probably. But where's the... Just by the way, if I never saw it done right, I would think... Give it up for Ben. Thank you, Ben.

We love you. We love you, Ben. In the building. Ben's a man. We love Ben. I'm going to... Ben's great. I'll go full circle. We're talking about something. Corporate Ben in the building. Benjamin. We love Ben. I'll go full circle. We're talking about something.

I'm so paranoid about it. When it comes to, the reason I don't mind talking about the city winery, because I don't know. I swear. This is the truth. Somewhere deep down, I hope someone at corporate listens and goes, maybe he's right. Like, if they're making all the money they can make in the world, seriously. Their numbers are so good. They're like, yeah, we can make more, but we're doing fucking great. Then I wouldn't listen to a goddamn thing I said.

But if there's someone on that end that goes, is there thought to what he's saying? Do we put the food before the... I don't know. Maybe someone's downstairs in the bigger room. But even their square tables don't lend themselves to a vibe of a show.

Yeah, yeah. It's round. It's always round. It's always round. It's always round. Who knows fucking why? But they're square. Oh, we're at a Bennigan's. And you know what? It's just... And by the way,

what I was going to say is lighting, the fact that it's done wrong the majority of the time, it's done right. And that's how you know, okay, well, is this wrong or is that wrong? And where did you play in L.A. where you opened up for their... Green Sky Bluegrass. Yes, yes. The El Rey.

The El Rey. Is that where that was? No, the Fonda. The Fonda, where they had an outdoor patio upstairs? Yeah, we're playing there, by the way, again with Kyle Glass at the end of the month, March 1st. As soon as I walked into the lobby at that place, I went, they fucking get it. It was funky from the minute you got into the lobby. Why not make people forget about the world?

That's not like that by accident. Who owns that place wants it that way. And everything. And when you got into the showroom, it was dark and swanky. Same at the Fillmore, by the way, when they were letting the crowd in. I didn't really have to adjust, but they did. It was swanky. Same at the Fillmore, by the way, when they were letting the crowd in. I didn't really have to adjust, but they did. It was swanky by their choice.

So, yeah, it is done right. Now, I work at comedy clubs where they get it, but most of the time, it's wrong. That's just life. Kind of reminds me of Meow Wolf and Ember. What's your take on air conditioning units? What?

I mean, I have an opinion, but I'm just wondering why you want to know. I just like getting you worked up. That's all. It is fun to get you worked up. But you know what? I care. I can tell when it starts coming, dude. I'm like, brace yourself. Marty, our homie,

is everything okay in there oh really who is that my boy marty from barstools he was helping us with the podcast um we're gonna we're gonna poach him and he's gonna work for us now but it was so funny he didn't even want to be in the room he was just like checking his phone i'm like marty you good he's? He's like, are you all good? I'm like, no, it's just Todd. Oh, that makes me feel bad. I didn't want to start any more of a scene. He's fine.

He tells a day portnoy. He knows the manic. I think the difference is, I hope, and by the way, if I have to change, I can change. Okay, I can't. What if that was like a sign going, you can't change, Todd. You'll never change.

I don't think it's, maybe with Dave, that guy, maybe they're not allowed to react. I'm not in a room where people are not allowed to just, you're laughing while I'm doing it. You're not, everyone's laughing. I know, but you get pissed when I start laughing. No, I don't. Look, I said, unless I can only tell you what my emotions are and if I'm delivering the truth, it actually calms me. Because if you're laughing

and I'm yelling, that's why when you go, how serious are you? I am serious. I am serious. I'm not going to lie. I didn't know you yet. I'm not going to go, it's a joke. But sometimes when you're funny, okay, I said this about Eddie Pepitone. I hope it applies for me. Eddie's lucky he can complain,

and he's serious, but he's so fucking funny. And I was hoping, like, so sometimes when I can yell like that, but you're laughing, because let me tell you something, probably with the experiences he has with Dave, he can't start just cracking up, well, that guy's mad, it's his boss.

He can't go, ah, ah, ah, ah. The fact that you're all laughing goes, Todd, you're lucky right now that these fuckers are laughing because it's so absurd how angry you're getting. So, I'm aware. I'm not stupid. If no one was laughing, I knew, I would know right away you can't bring that type of energy into

a room. You said, fuck you, you dumb piece of shit to me. Fuck you? I did? Oh, Jesus. That's verbatim. No, I didn? Oh, Jesus. That's verbatim. No, I didn't say... No, you fucking... I wouldn't call you a dumb piece of shit. That's important, though.

When people reenact things, they change the verbiage sometimes. You fuck it. You went like, you fuck it. Fuck all of you, I kept saying. Fuck all of you. Sit in a bright goddamn room with no atmosphere. I could give a fuck. Turn the lights up more. Now we can see the filth on the floor, the filth on the sofa, the fucking cum rag in the corner.

That's from Andy. No offense. The dirt on the ceiling. I do like cumming on those towels. Not in the green room. I never beat off in a green room. That's kind of weird. There's a lot of people there. I think about...

I think that I don't even think about that. There's a lot of people there. I think about... I don't even think about that. I'm like, oh, yeah. No, I would never do that. Well, where would you do it? Especially last night with my low lighting. You could have been whacking off. That's why I do it. I do it for you.

So you can jerk off and pop it. I like to keep this room like a blue shell because just in case Andy pulls his dick out, he'll be in peace. One time I did it in a bathroom before I went on stage. It's a San Diego improv. You just beat off? 28 years old.

Did that hurt the set? Were you too relaxed? Maybe I think I was attracted to somebody and I couldn't take it anymore. But I went into the bathroom and then I came and I did it and I couldn't take it anymore. But I went into the bathroom and then I came and I did it. Then we came back out and I was like,

oh, look at me. I feel like I wouldn't want to do that. It would make me play better when I'm full of seed. I was going to say, I beat off in airplanes. You really? I never did that.

I've done that a couple times. He keeps getting upgraded to first class. But you put a, don't you have them hold a hot towel over you? So no one sees. Yeah. Do you want to go to first class? Is it next to your friend?

No, thanks. I think I'll just stay back here. What a podcast. I think we've said it all. Oh, wow. What else? City winery? Don't let city winery.

Or do, I guess. Maybe they, you know. What do you want? Where do you want to go out to dinner Oh That means everything What time You're going to a Celtics game right No I gotta

I'm going I gotta kiss the Rangers I gotta kiss the Jamban Illuminati ring tonight You should Yeah I gotta Tell him if he wants to include me

I'm willing to serve him In any way possible I give him a pedicure Let's Let's just Yeah it's We're going to the Rangers game I'm willing to serve him in any way possible. I give him a pedicure. Let's just... I'm just saying, I will serve the Illuminati. I know. We already know. No, no, no, no. You don't get it.

I don't think you get the extent I will sell out the pores for him. Alright. I'll let him know when I'm over there. I'm going to go hang out with the owner of the Knicks. I hope we're all good. We're good. I'm going to go hang out with the owner of the Knicks. I hope we're all good. We're good. I'm going to really turn it down a little. At the end of the tour, the last day, Todd.

No, I got it. I've had a blast with you. This is epic. I'm just honored that you... You're not an opening. You're a headliner. You're opening for this weird concept. You want to open for our podcast?

I took it, and like I said, because it's the whole, to me, it's the whole thing. It's the hanging. It's the everything. And some nights, this is more fun. Other nights, you're like, that went better the first night, but god damn it, we went out afterwards. I don't look at it like...

And you know what? The crowds, so far, I've done this three times. And they're always nice. They're always really nice. So I don't care if the stand-up changes from night to night. You know what I'm saying? I haven't seen you eat candy in two days. Are you having withdrawals?

Oh, you didn't see me last night. I ate so much salt. I don't usually have this happen. And by the way, I don't usually do this. I thought I was having a heart attack. And then I realized, Todd, you ate a whole bag of popcorn. Like a whole big bag in the salt. I was having heartburn.

I don't get heartburn. And you're tripping. I maybe had heartburn five times. You're like tripping dick. And then my heart beat. It's going to go away. You had a bag. And I really was laying there. Then I really was laying there This wasn't the whole night

This was the last half hour And it went away So I ate all that salt I'm lucky I can eat whatever I want I've had heartburn the first time I had it I didn't even know what it was I'm just lucky but I had it last night So now I'm laying there

The remnants of mushrooms And my heart's beating And I swear to God I went okay are you having a heart attack because you're very aware right now hey okay you can call you know you're not just going to go from this to that was my hope so

I go just be aware I even went and shut the bathroom door because I thought I'm not kidding you I thought if firemen had to get in that door blocks that door in the hotel world right so I opened that door because I pictured I'm not kidding you. I thought if firemen had to get in, that door blocks that door in the hotel world. So I opened that door because I pictured, I'm not kidding you. I'm not exaggerating this for the podcast. I believe you. I pictured how would they get in.

And they come in with an ax or maybe they use the jaws of life for doors at hotels. And then I opened that door. We are the opposite person. And then I got back and I laid in bed. I laid in bed and it went away. It went away. Then I could just enjoy the mushrooms. The heartburn went away.

I don't know why. I drank some water. Then I go, just don't. You're not having a heart attack. Then I woke up four hours later and I went like this. Oh my God, you didn't die. I say that every time I wake up too, actually. Every day I say that.

Oh my God, you didn't die. See, I'm glad you gave us that imagery of the mind that is Todd Glass. Now everyone will make sense of why we had a 25-minute conversation about chairs. Can I say one more thing?

I know we have to go. Can we title this podcast Chairs? You want to make sure you make fun of me where you should make fun of me. I mean, this is a little confident to say this, but I think I absolutely have value to add. My favorite thing is to say

it doesn't make a little difference. That's my favorite quote. It's a gigantic difference. What I'm talking about, Todd, is your brain just, you're a problem solver. You're like a puzzle maker. A puzzle finisher. A puzzle finisher. A puzzle finisher. You know how to

you see the end point and you figure out how to make it that fucking tight thing. Yeah, I like it. Even with heart attacks. You're like, just in case I die, I'm going to keep that door open and if the fireman has to come, they'll be able to

come in quickly and get my ass after four hours of sleeping. If I thought I was having a heart attack, I bet your housekeeping will find me in the morning. Right. Oh my god, my manager's here. He vacuums the hallways of the hotel.

Real quick. Speaking of firemen, Tig Notaro has a joke about when the fireman had to come into her house and little carry her out So it made me think wouldn't it be good If there was like uber ambulance And like every someone you go You just don't want to like when you're little

Every little kid has done this you fake sleep Because you really just don't want to walk in the house So you fake like what would it be Let's say it was $150 $250 Uber ambulance they come get you The fire people lift you up into the bed, they put the bed in the ambulance, they take you home and they lift you up and they put you in your bed.

And you don't even have to be crazy drunk. You just might be like, I'm fucking tired. I would love, I would stay at someone's house an hour longer if I thought, when I'm done, they just come get you. Uber Ambulance. What do you think? Uber Ambulance. They just take you home. Isn't that called life support?

It's different names for it. You're just saying apply it. Those older people have that necklace that if you fall they'll call it life alert. I fall and I can't get up. I'm sleepy and I don't want to walk home. Come get me. Uber ambulance. Todd, would you do this tour again?

Yes. Good. We're starting again in Philly next week. I'll be doing the exact same thing. Of course I would. Let me tell you something. I don't know how you are and the way you guys feel about me, but I'll only know once I'm gone. I would imagine if it's negative, it'll always start out positive. I love Todd, but those will happen on your own time.

I won't be around. I've been on tours where when you like people, you know, everyone thought, I did the Tosh tour, and there was three of us for a month and a half of shows every night. And we got along till the very end. Till the very end. You know how you know? Everyone's still meeting for lunch most of the time.

Everyone's still meeting. And we're on day 40 of this tour, and we had nothing. There were no although once, somebody did once They made fun of me Because somebody I don't like people belching and farting Well who does?

A lot of people It's a joke So I go One of the comedians did I go Is that what it's going to be now? That's pretty funny That's their version

Is this what we're doing? We're shitting and belching now We've loosened up Is this what's going to happen? So from the beginning to the end, and I've been on with comedians that I've known for years, so I would... Have you ever ripped a fat shit in the green room?

Oh, why do you... Just like while people are in there? No, I make everybody leave. You do? It rarely happens at a club, and I don't want to do it in the green room, but if I have to, I... You'll kick everyone out so you can just... Well, no, I'll just be embarrassed. I don't want to do it in the green room But if I have to You'll kick everyone out

No, I'll just be embarrassed I don't kick them out meanly But one time I went I have to go to the bathroom Does anyone know? You might want to clear out Because it's embarrassing Did you do that when you masturbated?

Embarrassing But that's what Andy does I gotta jack off, guys Can you guys get out of here? I need to crank one out before I get up there I'm pretty backed up. When you orgasm, Todd, when you orgasm,

do you scream? What? No, I do what everybody does. I'll videotape. No, no, no, no, no, please. Cheers! Cheers! Oh, wait. I'm going to find out.

I'm going to talk to the band and see what you're passionate about. Get you real good. I'm passionate about you and fucking Nick. Andy's OCD as fuck, too. I'm so OCD. Well, I got that from, like, I didn't get that from you, but I got that. What you talking about? I got that from, I knew I was okay when the first time I met Todd

and the first time I went to your house. I'm like, fuck, why am I so OCD? No one else is like this. And then I went to your house and everything's fucking perfect. The lighting. Yeah, I bet your house. Dude, his house is immaculate.

Remember I said that last night in the green room. I bet Todd's house is incredible. Every vibe, every room, every left, right is a fucking vibe. That's what I'm saying. Can I tell you what I've learned over the years to make

people relax? Maybe it's a friend, significant other. They have never been to my house before. Sometimes people take that with if they spill something that they would be more nervous in another house. Or they go, do you need coasters? And one way, it would really relax people. I go, no, no, no. I'm organized.

Don't take that for meaning they would go, I need a coaster, and I had a hammer. It was a piece of metal that you could hang. It doesn't matter, but it was a piece of metal. And I would bang my dining room table. It's an old barn table. But when they would... Okay, I realize I'm just talking to myself. No, I'm hearing you.

It's not that great of a story. To juxtapose, you guys, here's a story about my living. When I lived alone one time, I brought a girl back to my apartment and she walked in and she looked around and she goes it looks like a serial killer lives here I had nothing on the walls just I mean like it's just like I'm

the complete opposite of that so it's kind of I like watching it because it's so different than how I am I'm like maybe I should be more like that because you've been to my house it feels like very organized like you and it's lit but I guess what I was trying to say because I wouldn't want anyone to picture that you have a sterile house that's organized. I hope my house is like yours.

I feel like it is. I go out of my way to let people know. Don't think my organization has to do with, I like you here. I love people in my house. Or somebody will spill something, and I try to go out of my way to go, oh, no, that shit, that doesn't bother me.

I'm organized. Your house is the same way. It is very, very organized, but it does not have a sterile atmosphere because the chaos that happens in that organization is, and that's, I feel like, my house too. But I do. I like it to

be a good vibe. Let me tell you something. I could talk about this. It doesn't have anything to do with comedy. Weddings, most weddings are too bright. And let me really make this clear. You go, Todd, do you mean they're too bright for you no they're too bright for fucking everybody I'm not going to a wedding that's really bright and everybody's dancing on the dance floor and going I'm sitting there going no one's dancing because it's too bright right right so it's not just for me most lighting it's just not thought of and right. So it's not just for me. Most lighting, it's just not thought of.

And, you know, but that's probably true with everything. You know, how much music? There's good music, there's bad. But everywhere you go, people's houses, weddings, you go, you know, so it's like, and when you care about it, you have to see it wrong so much that it pains you. You know?

So the tour's been going good. And you know what? For the 10% of your audience that agrees, oh boy, they're going to... They do agree. They should... You're not wrong. You're not wrong.

Only 10% agree. Most people don't give a shit. I'm acknowledging that. Most people don't agree with me. Most people don't care what I'm talking about. It's boring to most people. People like passion, so maybe some of your listeners,

they don't give a fuck about lighting, but they're enjoying me yell about it because it's funny at that level. I get it. But most people don't give a fuck about it. You go over to people's houses, it's too fucking bright everywhere you go. It's too fucking bright. Too fucking bright. Restaurants, shut the fuck up. You know who gets it more than anybody? In New York, I feel

like. Because maybe it's so competitive that they have to fucking know what they're doing. How many bars do you walk by and it's so competitive that they have to fucking know what they're doing how many how many bars do you walk by and it's so dark and all they have are tea candles that's it on one on every table seven gone down the bar and you will you see that all the time right because they go yeah we're in competition we're not selling drinks we're selling fucking atmosphere there's a bar there there's a bar there there's a bar there there's a bar there there's a bar there so we better fucking get it So it's funny in New York

That they get it I'm not making this shit up When I see it And when you see it You know What the fuck you want I love you so much I love you too

I love you so good Who's this dude What am I talking I hope it does somebody some good But what am I I don't know How'd you How's my cross

You never asked You never asked me What I did with that girl after she called me a serial killer When was that? When she saw my old apartment What'd you do? I killed her Alright guys, volume.com
