Now, a message from the UN. One, two, three, four. I've been working here. One day it'll be a year. And I can't recall the day when I didn't want to disappear I keep showing up helping on grown up if it takes a lifetime I'm learning how to be alone fall asleep with the tv on And I'll fight the earth to live inside my telephone And keep my spirits high

And find happiness by and by If it takes a lifetime I got too far from my race that I forgot where I come from. The line between right and wrong was so fine. Well, I thought the highway loved me, but she beat me like a drum. My day will come if it takes a lifetime. My day will come if it takes a lifetime. Yes it does. Wow, it's impactful. Wow.

Sympathetic. Take two. Take Sympathetic O2. Andy Frasco's World Saving Podcast. I'm Andy Frasco. Fucking hot. Alpha. Podcast tour into a band tour.

Podcast tour into a band tour into just fucking... Trivia night. Trivia night into fucking hell on fire. Hell yeah, dude. What's harder, the band tour or the podcast tour? Just kidding. The podcast tour was more... It was fun. Dude, this... But I mean, just like physically, the band tour is way harder.

Not this time around. Now that we have a bus, we're sleeping. But the actual show is. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And loading. Well, you don't we're sleeping. But the actual show is. Yeah. Yeah. And loaded. Well, you don't load in. It's not a load in.

Yeah. If you were like a, you know, contributing member of your band, you would hate the band tour, bro. You could hear by his voice that my, my prodigal lover. What? That is not.

Prodigal means like you went away and came. You're the prodigal son. You're the prodigal lover. Prodigal. And it's prodigal is like, you know, the prodigal son? No. It's a fable from the Old Testament, so you should know it. The Torah, if you will. It's just about

a guy who leaves and comes back and he's you know. Well, you left me for three weeks. You left me. Hell on earth came happening. Yeah, I know. Oh, God. What a week. I mean, it's just Nick and I, We need some tea. I need some fun time with Nick because...

And Dick. Yeah, I think that's the funniest thing that the Starbucks calls you Dick. I said Nick, but they probably just went off my vibes. Oh, everything is fucking... Great, actually. Everything's great. We were in a tour bus. Shout out to...

We just re-signed. We just re-signed with volume today. Like literally eight minutes ago. Literally eight minutes ago. Nick saw. I get paid. Nick saw me write the contract. All he heard was...

Shout out to volume.com for fucking... We needed that. I saw the WorldSame podcast. It was getting pretty dry. I ain't World's Same Podcast, Bang It Cal. It was getting pretty dry. I ain't gonna lie. It was getting pretty dry out there. Yeah, Chris.

Chris spent it on my money. No, but we're back with volume, everyone. It's official. Shout out to volume for paying us. Woo! Hell yeah. But fuck yeah. Yeah, the podcast tour was great.

West Coast tour was better than I expected. Because you got that wagon. I got that bandwagon. Which bunk did you have? I had the bottom one, the big one. Oh, they're different sizes? Yes. Oh, man.

I got so much shit to tell you. I just have so much shit I need to fucking get off my chest. First off, I was dating this girl. Oh, yeah. And I totally fucked it up. Oh, weird. That never happens. I'm not good with relationships.

I don't think I'm ever going to try to have a relationship again. That's fine. There's no rule that says you have to be in a relationship. I know. Why does society make me feel like I need to have a fucking relationship? That might be you a little bit too, in the back of your mind though. Well,

yeah. Cause everyone's having relationships. Everyone's like, you're going to be lonely when you're younger. I'm like older, but yeah, I'm not lonely. Well,

that's the thing. So that's interesting. First of all, maybe you'll meet someone in, I don't know. You don't know. You might meet someone and fall. When you're truly fall in love with someone,

you will want to be in a relationship. That's the thing. So maybe you just haven't met the person that makes you want to do it. Also, the whole lonely when you're old thing is so annoying. Just because you have a girlfriend when you're 30 doesn't mean they're going to be around when you're 80.

Right. Julie could dump me next week. Right. There's no guarantees. The thing that pisses me off is I've been getting this a lot from people because I'm at the age now where it's like, so you're not having kids, right?

Yeah. You know what I'm saying? So people are like, what are you going to do when you're on your deathbed? You're going to die alone. It's like, everybody dies alone. Also, do I really want eight people standing over me while I'm dying?

Like, there he goes. I don't know. I'm just waiting to get my money. Dying alone peacefully in a field somewhere sounds kind of nice, actually. Let's do that. Let's just die alone peacefully. Old male loneliness. I get a lot done. Sounds kind of nice, actually. Let's do that. Let's just die alone. Old male loneliness. I get a lot done.

Go out of reading. Work on my trivia books. That's the cool thing about trivia. I can do that. There he was, Nicholas. He moved to the Ozark Mountains. Just became the trivia lord. I mean, you can do trivia your whole life. He'd grow this big-ass beard, just have a cane,

just like, what is the capital of Kenya? So yeah, I fucked that up And then That's alright You know You were flirting I was flirting Yeah

Oopsie I was flirting with a girl I was I mean, to be fair You've been dating this girl for like three weeks It's not like It was a nine month relationship No

Yeah, yeah I flirted with this girl and I felt bad. I immediately texted her, but she already found out. Dude, that fucking, they have a whole system of tunnels. I know. It's like the old male thing where it's like the male room to the bottom and they shoot it down a tube. It's like their

gossip flows so fast. I know. Well, through the female community, the woman community that is. But at least I was honest about it. I'm like, listen, I was... Yeah, you're not a liar. No. Yeah. I'm not.

I lie about petty shit. Yeah, everybody... Like, I exaggerate my, like... What? I exaggerate. I exaggerate. I don't lie. I exaggerate.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've definitely heard you do that a few times. Usually just about your career, though. Just about my career. I exaggerate sometimes. And it's usually just the fans To just like It's just more marketing than anything Yeah

I mean like Everything I exaggerated Earlier in my career I actually got I actually did Is exaggerating lying? I guess yeah I guess

But is it Like it's not like Is it perjury? Like if you exaggerate In a court of law Is it perjury? Yeah I guess it probably is lying

Isn't it? And then you know Like you'll say We is lying, isn't it? And then, you know... Like you'll say, we're opening for this band next year. And then you don't open for them. I was texting her. I was texting Maddie. And she was like... First, I text her.

I owe a... in taxes. Oh, man. Biden. First off... Here we go. Fuck the tax man. Yeah. Fuck the tax man. Yeah.

Fuck the tax man. I work so fucking hard. I work so hard to fucking make people happy. And then you put your big dick of the law on my forehead like that? He's not a millionaire. These are business taxes, too, guys. Yeah, I'm not a millionaire. Don't start thinking he's rich because he's paying taxes.

No, that's the issue. That's more than I made. Yeah, exactly. That's more than I fucking made, dude. Yeah. Don't even get me started. rich because he's paying taxes. No, that's the issue. That's more than I made. Yeah, exactly. That's more than I fucking made, dude. Yeah. Don't even get me started. This whole week's been fucked. Oh, God.

At least you have me. I mean, reliable. Yeah, this eclipse is fucking everything up. I don't know if it's the eclipse. It might be you. Stop blaming the moon. As a society, can we stop blaming the moon for our problems? I mean, I say I've never been in, I don't like relationships, but this is a long relationship I've been in.

And you've been friends with Dola for like 20 years. Yeah, but he's hated me for like seven. We didn't talk for seven years. When? Like not when I knew him. No, like during, right before college. Oh, like when you were a douchebag? When I was douchey.

When you were like playing for 15 people? It was before that. It was just like When you were playing for eight? He was like I just didn't like him and his friend group, like they hung out every single day. I'm not a dude who wants to hang out with the same fucking people every day. Dude, I lose my mind.

I lose my fucking mind if I have to hang out with everyone every single, like the same people every single day. Only dudes do that, I feel like. Seems like. They have like their four guy friends for like 30 years. But it was good after, I mean, Nick Chamian was filling in. I was my buddy since middle school and he was a, it was nice to have

a new vibe with him. Yeah. But if I hung out with him every day, we'd probably want to kill each other again. That's not true because I do want to kill my band every now and then. Forgive me. And they want to kill you, to be fair. They definitely want to kill me.

Yeah, so it's fair. Actually, that's how all good bands are. If you don't have a little tension, you're probably not really killing it. The other thing with Dolal, I'm hanging out with him every day. I love you, Dolal, but he's a lot, man. That's a lot of personality going on. Right. Sometimes it's a great thing, you know?

Is it me? No, going on. Sometimes it's a great thing, you know? Is it me? Nah, probably. Is it me? Do you know what a common denominator is in math? I don't know, man. I can't keep a relationship to save my life. I mean, I've kept my band around. That's a fucking miracle.

Yeah, I was going to say, you've had the same band for 10 years. I don't know if that's true. Maybe it's women. Maybe it's all their fault. Maybe I've got to start sucking dick or something. No, if you were going to suck dick, you would have done that by now. I know. That's what I'm thinking. Everyone thinks I'm gay. No, you're not. No. I'm not gay.

No, you're not gay. I don't think I'm gay. I don't think penises are attractive. I'm looking at your feet. No gay man would have feet like that. No gay man would have feet like that. No gay man would have feet like that. I'm stereotyping, but I think it's pretty accurate. You know what I mean?

Obviously, there's a margin of error here, but look at his feet, dude. No gay man would have feet like that. You're right. I just say wouldn't. I'm not gay. You're not gay. You're just a... I do't I'm not gay You're not gay You're just You're just a I do like

I do like having random sex So Oh my god I mean who doesn't I long I mean I've been in a relationship For ten years Every day I dream of it

You know One night stands are Everyone says like It's like bullshit But I fucking love it If it's like If it's a communicative thing Like it is a one night stand

And it's just like what it is I fucking love that. I like a good three night stand. When I was single. You know what I'm saying? The first time, I don't know. My dick stops working when... What? 2018?

I'm back, people. Welcome back. It's good to have you. This is the weird thing about me This is some therapy shit That I need to discuss with you Okay My dick stops working

After I We I have sex With the same person For like Three weeks Or four weeks You might want to talk

To a therapist About that one That's That's not right That's you That's me That's something psychological It's me. That's something psychological. I'm the problem.

It's me. You know what's weird, though? I never really admitted that to anyone. You don't fit the profile of a guy who would have commitment issues. Because your parents have a good marriage. Both your sisters are doing... You're surrounded... All the examples growing up were good marriages.

Yeah, but my parents never really liked each other when I was a kid. Yeah, but they stayed together. Yeah. So it's like... That's the thing. Nobody's parents... Married people don really liked each other when I was a kid. Yeah, but they stayed together. Yeah. So it's like... That's the thing. Nobody's parents... Married people don't like each other, okay? So can we get past that?

You're right. Married people... Chad's married. He probably likes his wife. But like, you know, there's exceptions. But like... Blink twice if you like your wife. But like...

Good. He likes her. But like, you know, when you have kids and you're like raising them, I think they can come off like they don't like each other. They probably liked each other way more than you thought they did. It's just like you live with them and that's where they argue. Yeah. I think it's because like,

I don't want sex to fuck up the relationship. Cause I'm like, you know, like I have these, like if I'm going to have a relationship with someone, I want it to be deeper than just fucking lust. So like, I think my dick doesn't start working

when I'm like having, I'm really connecting with somebody. But I think that like it's just fucked up. It's actually more of a package deal though than that. What? You gotta have, it's all one thing though. You gotta get lust in there. I know. You gotta bore out your old lady once in a while. Jesus fucking Christ

What a start of a podcast Hello But yeah, I don't know, bro I don't know what it is That's a tough one It's like, you know It's just a human thing That's been going on for

I don't think there's an answer Really Hopefully you just meet a girl That makes you want to fuck For ten years I don't know Yeah It's just like luck, too

There's a lot of luck in this Yeah And having a relationship People don't factor in the luck part of it enough Do I settle? Do you ever wonder if we have too Like people have too many Sorry

If people have too many options right now Like That's what it is probably Like so I have this I've been thinking about this lately Like so Everybody's grandparents Didn't get divorced

They all basically married the first person they had sex with Right They all met because like Her dad owned a store And he came there every day and just kept bothering her until she finally went out with him. And then she married him cause he, he's the only guy over six foot in the town or whatever. You know what I mean? And now you can just fucking scroll on Instagram and just see the hottest, like imagine a cave

man never saw one attractive woman in his life probably. And you can see like 30 a day, like an hour just scrolling. Like, dude, I don't know, man. You know what my new favorite... That could be part of why your dick's not working too. Because I'm just like... You're just constantly feeding your fucking cerebral cortex with just... Dopamine. Is that what it is? I don't know

the hormones. But so like... Caveman's had no dopamine. I bet they were just rock hard all the time, dude. The second they saw anything. Yeah, probably. It's probably a benefit to that. I had no dopamine. I bet they were just rock hard all the time, dude. The second they saw anything. Yeah, probably. It's probably a benefit to that. I mean,

yeah. I mean, so maybe traditional marriage is the way I'm just kidding. It's just funny. Like her grandparents are like, yeah, he just kept assaulting me. And I finally said,

yes, like that's kind of how it went back then. And it's like either grandparent, how we met tails are either like the most romantic thing you've ever heard or borderline sexual assault. It's like, I think it's true. And maybe, yeah, that's what it is. It's like people aren't satisfied anymore with life because they see so much in the flick of their phone.

I wonder if people cheat more because of social media, but I've heard that cheating is actually not anymore, but I bet they're like emotionally cheating more. Like, yeah. Yeah. I don't hear a lot of cheating. Yeah, people aren't meeting online and going to bang somebody, but there is a little back and forth, maybe. Right. Maybe that also keeps things fresh.

I don't know. Do I need a relationship? For what? I don't know. To be happy? You're not trying to have kids. No. That's one of the main reasons. I'm about to tie that bitch up, dude. I'm about to tie my tubes up, dude. I'm about to be vasectomized. Oh, you are?

Oh, yeah. When are you doing that? It's not that expensive. You know that, right? It's like a grand. I know. I'm just worried about... I heard some horror stories about people bleeding out.

Okay, so what you need to do is not take the hugest, most outlier thing that went bad and use that to inform your decision in going forward. I know. It's like being scared of tornadoes hitting your house, right? Well, I mean, one day I hit my house. Well, maybe that's, Oh, you fucking nailed on him. Maybe that's why I don't want to have a relationship because I always, I have this fear. It's just going to break up. Yeah. You do fear the worst, which is weird. Cause you always say I'm the pessimist around here, but, uh, I don't know. You might be the pessimist. Stop listening to the podcast guys. It's been a lie this whole time. I'm not know. You might be the pessimist. Oh, no. Stop listening to the podcast, guys.

It's been a lie this whole time. I'm not optimistic. You are for other people. For other people. For me, it's hard. I don't care about other people as much as you, but I'm kind of like... We've got to be glass half full right now with World War III coming. I know. I don't think it's going to happen.

I mean... It might be good, we could use a fucking Economic boost When did Twitter become like fucking Illuminati center When Elon Musk bought it And all of a sudden it's two things That like weird conspiracy theory guy Also this weird

Traditional marriage incel guy You know I'm talking about these guys that like hate women And like a woman will be like Hey look at me today I'm 29 And he'll be like hate women. And a woman will be like, Hey, look at me today. I'm 29. And he'll be like, All your eggs are dying. You're getting a traditional. Find a man who can provide for you.

Meanwhile, they work at 7-Eleven part-time and live in their mom's basement. Yeah, I got to get off Twitter because I'm doom-scrolling. Twitter sucks. The community notes thing is better. Here's the thing about Twitter. It used to be the best for news.

I know. Now I don't get it. For sports, I still like it for sports news because like that you can't really politicize that i mean you can they do it but like dude i don't know i don't know why elon musk bought that he's losing money hand over fist obviously it lost a billion dollars a year he bought it yeah like the year before he bought it and that was their best year in five years like i don't know it's obviously just like an attention thing which is fine i'm not like an elon musk hater or anything but you know you definitely or whoever ruined all those conspiracy series took an l when nothing happened after the eclipse well it's just like the dumbest shit ever

they're like how are they predicting it i'm like dude people didn't even have calculators could predict eclipses you just watch the moon go around and remember shit like yeah it's a pattern dude right patterns exist also those conspiracy theorists can fuck off like you really think go around and remember shit. It's a pattern, dude. Patterns exist. Also, those conspiracy theorists can fuck off. You really think that our government could pull off a conspiracy? Our bridges are falling down and shit. Our roads are crumbling. The public can't even get people educated.

But you think they're doing weird Illuminati deep state shit. No, they're not smart enough It's people Also, have you ever met one person in your life that can keep a secret? No Okay, so now you're telling me 400 people kept a secret? Yes, or a million

Even more, yeah, whatever It doesn't matter, sorry dude I don't know man Actually, people are just People are greedy Everyone needs an internet break. Everyone needs to get off the fucking internet and just take a break.

What if we had like a holiday, like a federal holiday. Here's an idea. Where... I don't know how often. Where the government... I'm already out on it. I'm just kidding. They just shut off the internet completely for like three days. Like twice a year. It's like a purge.

Yeah, like a spring break and a fall break. No internet. Just they turn it off, man. Yeah. Maybe no work too. I don't know. Just get rid of Easter or something. I think I need to go on vacation. Where are you going to go? I haven't gone on vacation in a long time. You went to vacation like in August, didn't you?

You went to Italy by yourself for two weeks. November. That was three months ago. Fucking pussy. For four months. I haven't been on vacation since I romped around Italy by myself three months ago. I'm getting so tired.

What do I do? I'm like I'm starting to like get uncomfortable in my own skin. That's normal. I'm getting so tired. What do I do? Have you ever had a staycation? I'm starting to get uncomfortable with my own skin. That's normal. I think everyone is. I think I'm just changing. I need a change. I just need to dip myself in the waters

of whatever. Lake Minnetonka. Lake Minnetonka. I'm like... Because I feel like I'm legit changing. Well, I mean, yeah, you're 36. People change every 10 years. Just my mind state on things.

I'm not... The bus was the best thing for me because I just... When the show was over, I just went to the bus and laid in my bed. I didn't have to go out, drink. Did you go out a couple times? I went.

I just, no. Our motto was, I go to the bar when the bar on the bus is always open. And then you don't have all those fans being like, wah. I love the fans. I know, but there's a lot of them and they're just bothersome. Yeah, sometimes it's like... But they're good people. They just want to touch Andy.

Yeah, they want to take photos. That's cool. I'm down with that. My buddy in Fort Wayne, one of my good friends from high school, was at the park with his kids and he said there was a guy with his kids there that had a Frasco shirt on. Really? I go, did you say hi to him? He goes, no.

He was like cussing around a lot around the kids and being a lot. Shut the fuck up. I swear to God. I swear to God. My friend's a little bit of a cantankerous fellow, though. He did like the traditional route perfectly, though. He set himself up. My fans are just cussing.

Come on, get over here, you fucking kids. I'm Randy Frasco. Leo, baby. Leo, Indiana. I'm just like, I don't know. I'm maturing. Yeah, maybe. I don't know.

Am I? I don't know. Are you? What's maturing? Do people mature? Just like I'm not caring about the party as much as caring about the art. I care. Now I deeply

care about the art. Yeah, partying gets kind of tiresome. It's just like the same fucking... I like to drink a little and go out, but if it's not a band playing or at least a producer I like, I don't really like partying. I'd rather hang out with five people and talk about bullshit.

Is that just getting old? Best hang I had while you were gone, Cool Cool Cool was in town and they like had a little cookout at Scott's. Oh, really? It was just the whole band,

Scott and me, and I just like read them trivia for like an hour and a half. It felt like how people used to hang out in the 60s. Yeah. Or like in the 90s. Yeah.

Like board game night. Yeah. It was fun as shit. I should start doing that At private parties for people How can I monetize friendship? What if like I watched the documentary

Martha Stewart That bitch is a bad bitch dude I haven't watched that yet But I mean I agree She's baddie Dude she was so smart I didn't know she was In the stock market or something

Big time She got arrested Remember she went to like Barely prison It was more of a Club fed But whatever Inside trading Fucking Nancy Pelosi market or something. Big time. She got arrested. Remember, she went to like barely prison. It was more of a club fed. But whatever. Inside trading. Fucking Nancy Pelosi does that three times a week

and she's... What if I just got assassinated immediately after I said that? Nancy Pelosi... But she used to be a caterer. Really? In the beginning of her career, she was a caterer for all these fancy parties and stuff. She looks stunning for her age, by the way. She's in her 80s.

Dude, even the pictures younger, she looks so hot. I was like, holy shit. I was watching it with one of my friends. And she was like, you're eyeing over a 70-year-old woman. I'm like, oh my gosh, she's so hot. That's better than the other direction. Dude, she's been so hot her whole life. Yeah, but it's like, that's so weird when people get mad at you for liking older women.

It's like, you want me to like way younger women? Yeah, you want me to like, you know, be like, ooh, for like a 20-year-old? Yeah, or like a, you know, or not Drake. Oh, shit. Hello. I don't know what to do, Nick. I don't know. I don't know what to, just keep going.

Who gives a shit? You don't need to think about it. Yeah. Most things in your life just happen to you anyways. I know. There's a lot of transitions. Yeah, that's true. It's like...

There's a lot of change going on. And I hate change. I always... I push back on change when it happens first. And then once I get through that tunnel, I feel good. Like how you stopped wearing Lakers jerseys every day. Yeah.

You're like, okay, this is enough. And then you're like, oh yeah, yeah. Then you just rock them sometimes.

It's weird. Ever since I stopped wearing Laker jerseys everywhere, women think I'm hot. Yeah. You're not wearing a fucking costume

of another guy at the bar. Women don't think that's attractive, dude. Overweight guys think that's cool. The kind of guy that wears a fucking Peyton Manning jersey to a wedding. Oh, shit. I don't know, though, dude. What do I do?

Women like me more now that I'm wearing adult clothes. I don't know what to do, man. Like I said, man, how many things in your life are a conscious decision? Most things just happen to you. Yeah, you're right. It's kind of true, dude. We're kind of just like here and shit happens to us

and we react to it. Like your band, it's like you started a band, but you wouldn't have been like, in 15 years I'm going to be living in Denver. That just happened to you. Yeah. Because everything I did plan, it didn't happen. Yeah, exactly.

So it's like the road to hell is paved with good intentions. I think I'd be addicted to nitrous oxide when I was 36 years old. I don't think so. Not when I was 19. Exactly. Exactly. You'd be so proud of me. I didn't do nitrous the whole tour. Cool.

Three weeks. Nitrous is fun though. I don't know. People love when those guys brought it up in Philly. I did go on a little bit of a cocaine bender, but it was like, not bad. Yeah.

I just did like a line a night. That drug is getting a little passe too. Yeah, it is getting a little passe. I'm getting back into mushrooms. It's like a lot better from a creative... I have some at my house a little bit. Yeah, I would do like a one line at

the end of the show. But that's not a binge at all then. Really? That's just how you're supposed to really do it. I mean like if you're going to do cocaine, like that's the intention of cocaine. It's a little cup of coffee. It's not like... You wouldn't drink 18 cups of coffee. Wow, I feel better. All right. Everything in moderation.

Let's go. A binge is like... That's my new motto going into my 40s. Moderation frasco. I'm from Indianapolis, the fucking cocaine capital of the jam band scene in the mid-2000s. It was fucking bad for a while. To me, a cocaine binge is like,

you're up for three days. You're not allowed to see your kid anymore. That's a cocaine binge. Yeah. You know what the best thing about having a bust was? We were partying, but we were partying together. It does help. The vibe has changed with this band.

No one's really... We're communicating and we're actually happy with each other again. You know what? You're not all going to your separate rooms in the night to talk shit about everybody. I know. You have to fucking squash the beef right there. And even if you aren't mad at anybody, you're just going to talk shit

in the hotel room. That's just what people do at the end of the night. I know. Especially at 4 a.m. when you're drunk. Also, another good thing, it's good to party like 8 inches from your bed.

He's a... He got... We got in some... We got in some little bit of trouble. Who? Me and Skippy. Oh, dude. About the fucking girls making out.

I talked to her about that A little bit Laura Yeah She's great I met her at New Year's She's nice She's the best

I don't get Laura is the best They were clearly Very Into it It looked like it was their idea So people who Was it their idea?

Yes That's it Yeah The making out When we got all We got the The wokies A little heated up

I thought they were Into gay stuff I thought they were into gay stuff. I thought if you're woke, everybody's bi and gay now. And now as soon as some gay shit happens, you're out? Yeah. I don't get that. Or like, it's like, girls can't make out with each other. But if like me making out with my band.

You've kissed every. I've literally kissed every dude in my band. You kissed Burt Kreischer in a video. I did. No one gave a shit about that. No, but two girls kissing. Oh my God. You're using sexuality. I'm like, Jesus Christ. I mean Burt Kreischer in a video. I did. No one gave a shit about that? No, but two girls kissing. Oh, my God. You're using sexuality.

I'm like, Jesus Christ. I mean, it was their idea. It was their idea. I don't know what to do anymore, Nick. I don't know what to do anymore. I don't know. It was a really good kiss. It was a fucking hot kiss.

That video was like four hours long. Amy and Laura are my fucking dogs. It's not like there was a... You weren't even in the shot No I was just watching Like you didn't know it was going to happen? No

I saw the music video thing I don't want to ruin the surprise But for our music video I think you already did ruin the surprise May 5th Found God at a festival is coming out Little Stranger, me And Skippy

It's going to be great Found God Trey Anastasio But the concept of that idea Is like we're tripping And what we think is going on Actually isn't Oh so it's not even the thing

It's not the actual story of the thing No the visual I think it's two girls making out so it's not even the thing in the... It's not the actual story of the thing. No, the visual... It's like we think it's two... I think it's two girls making out and it's just Kevin and John making out. That makes it even less offensive. I know. You gotta pay them, though. What?

Those girls, you gotta pay them, right? Yeah. I fucking love them. And Laura was like, this is fucking bullshit. Let me be on the podcast. Let me talk about this. I'm like, that's my girl. Hey, if the people... Shout out to Charleston. I fucking love you. Guess what? You don't get to tell other people how to feel about their own make-out session. Right.

If she's cool with it, it's cool. You don't get to decide who had consent to do what. You know what I'm saying? Yep. Exactly. I'm over the woke thing. Let's get back to fucking 1960s, you know? I'm just kidding. No, we don't need that. I'm over the woke thing. Let's get back to fucking 1960s, you know? I'm just kidding. No, we don't need that.

I'm kidding. 90s? I'm like, fuck, dude. Not racially. Racially, we need to go to the 2090s. We need to go that way. But the woke stuff with just that, it's just like girls can kiss, dude. I know. Everyone's testing me right now.

I like it. Fuck. What do I do Nick I don't know man Do I just wait Just wait it out Just see what happens bro You're in the world The world will happen to you no matter what you do

Maybe I'm Buddhist I'm just kidding You've been like I think I'm just hurting You're been like I think we're like I think I'm just Turning Like you're just like Everything's gonna be okay man

I'm like everything's not gonna be okay No no no I didn't say everything's gonna be okay I'm saying you can't do anything about it So you might as well just chill Right And someday you'll just die And it'll be over

And then you'll just be a memory on someone's Well not me I don't have any kids. I'm going to die alone and no one will remember me. When are you going to release this album? I'm thinking... I'm trying to get it out by June or so. I have one more tune to finish.

I got the artwork. But I want to have it done for a month before I put it on Spotify. How did Black Hole Sun do? It sounds great. Have you put it out yet? No. I'm putting it all out together. I'm putting them all out together.

I got some great ideas for marketing for it. So I feel like Black Hole Sun, this is a little, I feel like I could maybe get that on some editorial playlist kind of box. So you got to have it out. So I got to have it done for at least a month before I put it out.

But I want to put it out. I'm not on a timetable, so I can just put it out whenever it's done, basically. Yeah. I think it's going to be a great EP. I think so, too. The artwork looks great. It's a great product.

It's like the best thing I've made in 10 years, probably. I'm excited about that. It's good to just finish something. I wish Jill happy birthday. And I was three days early. Oopsies. She gave me shit about it. Why?

You weren't late. It's three days early. I'm like, what the fuck? Oh my God, just be glad. I'm trying to be nice to everyone. I'm trying to be civil. You weren't late. I wasn't late.

And a lot of ex-boyfriends won't even wish you a happy birthday. Yeah, most ex-boyfriends don't because it is a little weird. Is it? It can be a little weird to just talk to your ex-girlfriend. Why do I want to be friends with everybody? Probably validation or some sort of... Why?

Why do I need to feel like I have to be friends with every fucking person in this fucking world? Maybe you just have this need to be liked, adored, or validation. No, I just want to... I just want to have... I don't want to walk into a room and have bad vibes.

I'm used to it. I don't know. It's not that bad, actually. I think people like you. Maybe people like you more if you didn't want them to like you so much. No, I can't go to Pablo's because Maddie always goes there in the morning. That girl wasn't dating. Was dating. Now it's over. I mean, just go

at 10. What the fuck is wrong with me? I love Pablo's, though. That's my spot. It is good coffee. Well, stop being a dumbass. I don't know. Things do have, you know, there's consequences. I don't know what to tell you, man. I know.

I'm just bored. No, you're not. You're not bored at all. You have so much going on. That's the dumbest fucking thing you've said this whole podcast. Bored? I think I'm bored with normalcy. You have never had

normalcy. Next topic. What's that? I don't know. Someone's knocking on the door. Oh, is that your doorbell? Sounds like a church bells. Who's out there? Whatever. We'll just keep going. Probably the FBI.

We've heard you talking about the Illuminati. You're not bored with normalcy. You've never had a normal life. Really? What do you mean, really? What's normal about your life? I don't know. I think my life is normal because it's all I know. Yeah. Well, that's fair, I guess. It's my life is normal because it's all I know. Yeah. Well, that's fair, I guess.

It's regular, I guess. It's regular. It's consistently the same. I'm finally like touring again with the tour bus and like I'm finally getting in the groove, but people are testing me.

You're testing yourself too. Don't let people get you so much. They're not that important. I know. I just care so much about people. Now you do care. I care a lot about people. I would fucking destroy just care so much about people. Now you do care. I care a lot about people. I would fucking destroy

my body every day so people could have happiness. Okay. Pump the brakes. No. We need to put ourselves through the ringer so people could be happy. That's true a little bit, but you know, it's true a little bit But you know

It's also a very self-serving career So it's like there's two sides of that Yeah but this podcast is more self-serving You think so? So I could talk about I could vent to you I don't know I feel like I needed this

I hope I don't sound like I'm a super just bitchy all day Do I sound bitchy? Do I sound bitchy today? But those are the good episodes, so it's cool. Let me tell you something, though. I'm just going through a lot, and I needed to vent to somebody. And I can't vent to a lot of people. You can vent to me.

Hold my hand. Dick. It's gross. Hold my hand, Dick. That's gross. Why? I don't know what you do. Actually, yeah.

Do you want to hold my hand? I beat off last night. Exactly. Dick. Actually, yeah. Do you want to hold my hand? I beat off last night. Exactly. Dick. Oh, yeah. We cut that out. Guys, we have shows coming up. See?

We're going to 420 Atlanta. Yeah. I mean, it's better than what that fucking Grateful Dead Festival did in California. Yeah. What happened there? What's that called again? Skulls and Roses. I want to make sure I said it.

I didn't want to accidentally say a different one with Rose in the title. It's actually a good festival. Sacred Rose? By the way, we're playing that too. That's fire. Chicago, let's go, Bergie. Bergie, you are the fucking man. You rule. I love you.

Thank you for letting us open for My Morning Jacket. I love Bergie. He's one of my favorite buyers in the country. He has his pulse on what's going on. What the fuck with Skull and Roses always has his pulse on what's going on. Anyways, yeah. What the fuck was Skull and Roses, dude? Tell me what's going on. What happened?

So apparently they... Chad, you probably know a little bit about this, right? Have you been following this at all? What happened? So fill me in. So like basically, tell me what I'm running. But they canceled like, what, a week before the festival? And people were buying full hotel packages, like $2,000, everything, and no refunds.

Is this not a federal crime? Oh, this is Fyre Fest for hippies? No, because they didn't even get there for that. At least Fyre Fest, they tried to put something on. This is just like, sorry, you can't come here and you're not getting your money back. So I was just trying to think. That sounds like such a California thing to do.

Where was the fest at? Yep. California? Yeah, duh. First of all, why are you having a festival in California? Do you see how low the attendance was for Coachella? And they said it was sold out, but I was looking at pictures. That shit was low.

I watched it all weekend. I love to watch festivals on TV. No doubt was amazing. Oh man, she's amazing. Sublime. That new kid. I can't wait. We got Gavin Rosdalebt was amazing. Oh, man. She's amazing. Sublime. That new kid. I can't wait. We got Gavin Rosdale on the show.

Oh, hell yeah, dude. I can't wait to ask her about him about Gwen Stefani and what actually happened. Yeah, okay. There's this thing right now. Men are not, like, especially younger dudes are not having sex as much as they used to. I know. I think it's making them all crazy on Twitter. My little cousin.

How old is he? 24. Oh, God. I thought he was going to be like 13 crazy on Twitter. My little cousin. How old is he? 24. Oh, God. I thought he was going to be like 13. Thank God. You said little, so I was like, uh. They don't, yeah, my cousins don't fuck. Like, they're not, yeah, Gen Z is a thing.

They're not into it. It's like, there's been a lot of articles about it. I've read that Gen Z's are, they're just like jacking off on TikTok, basically. It's like, it's going to lead to a big problem. Well, look, I, you know. Your body needs to like, you need that. You need to get, you need to fuck. And you're going to lead to a big problem. Well, look, I, you know. Your body needs to, like, you need that. You need to get, you need to fuck. And you're going to get prostate cancer.

You got to let those demons out. That's true. That cum's got to come out one way or another. Those demons. Yeah, Coachella. And that's why I promote a healthy masturbation habit. Let me tell you a little something about this, guys. You guys, you know, ever feel like a little angsty?

You know, feeling fucking shitty? Go rub one out. Get guys ever feel like a little angsty? Feeling fucking shitty? Go rub one out. Get out there and blow a load on your hand. Yeah, what do they say? You will feel so much better. If you're sad, sleep. If you're mad, tired. And if you're angry, jack off. Really?

There is something like that. I mean, I changed it a little bit. There is a thing like if you're in a bad mood, you need to eat. And if you're really sad, you might just be tired. It's pretty interesting. I feel so much better now. Thanks, Nick.

Sick fucking skull and roses. I needed you. Yeah. So tell me what happened. So I guess they just canceled and said, you can't have your money. So where did the money go? Where's the money, Lebowski? First of all, if you blew it on expenses, that's fine.

But also you have to give, I don't understand. is... That's fine, but also you have to give... I don't understand. If I went... If I pre-ordered a guitar and I went to pick it up and they're like, three days before I go pick it up, they're like, sorry, it was too expensive to make the guitar. We can't make it.

And you can't have your money back either. That's a crime. It's a crime. So why is this not a crime? It felt like a bunch of drug dealers making a festival. Yeah. I mean, the jam band scene. A lot of jam band festivals

are just money laundering. But at least, but at least the other ones are good at it. Like if you're good, I don't mind a little money laundering. That's perfect for me. Like I like it.

Like work around this government, get in those gray areas. Yeah. But you're going to money launder. Don't also commit a second crime. Yeah. Speaking of money laundering, buy tickets to our Florida tour

so I can pay taxes so I don't have to tell the government I have... Are you doing Jazz Fest? Yeah. April 30th. Oh, yeah. The House of Blues.

Who's your cool guests? Daniel Donato, Maggie Rose. We had a good hang actually Is Krasnow not doing it? I think he was doing something with you I tried to book guys on it That aren't playing a hundred fucking shows Yeah, that's good

Then we got Dogs in the Pile I like how everybody's saying Dogs in the Pile I'm trying to get that out there Dogs in the Pile I say it that way every time I'm trying to get that out there. Dogs in a pile. Dogs in the pile. Dogs in the pile. I say it that way every time. I'm trying to get it in the zeitgeist. Just fuck their branding up. God, I love those guys.

I like them. I talk shit to their manager a lot. Yeah, Ross is great. Whenever he opens for you, I say. But I really do love those boys. You know who I... This actually speaks to this. I completely have done a 180 on Chris Robinson from Black Crows.

Yeah, same. I used to think he was kind of a douche just because that's what I was fed by the liberal media. But my girlfriend worked for him last week first of all. And I went back and watched his YouTube videos. He's not a dick. He just has opinions and says them. Which is healthy. Yeah. I mean

him and his brother hate each other or whatever, but that's none of my business. I don't know what that is. And then they probably feel the same way towards you. Like when they first see someone, like, oh yeah, he's a dick. Dude, I mean, I'm the king of this, dude. But you're like one of the sweetest guys on the planet. I am the definition of an acquired taste. You're Chris Robinson

of the podcast world. Exactly. But then my girlfriend worked for him all day last week. She did his green room. Said he was the nicest guy. Hung out and catering. Talked to everybody. They sat me next to him at Marcus King's wedding. Oh, cool. We were fucking having the greatest time. He was the only guy. I catering, talked to everybody. They sat me next to him at Marcus King's wedding. We were fucking having the greatest time. He was the only guy. I'm like, I got mushrooms.

He's like, I do too. We were taking mushrooms laughing, giggling. We got to get him on the pod. He'll actually say some shit. I do disagree a little bit with his Grateful Dead opinion, the cover bands. But also, he's kind of right. I don't know.

There's a gray area to it. But also, he's kind of right. I don't know. There's like... There's a gray area to it. But I think that he has... He's on to something. There is this whole... What did he say? I don't know verbatim, but it was basically like... Was it on Stern? I don't remember, but it was basically like he was just like all these Grateful Dead bands are just like using the Grateful Dead to make money

sort of vibe. You know what I mean? Right. Which he's definitely right to a certain extent, but also one of his biggest hits is a cover. So it's like... What did she call it? Talks to Angels? Isn't Hard to Handle an Otis Redding? Not Otis Redding, but... I thought she Talks to Angels is the big song. No, that's their song. That's them. Oh. He also

can write great songs. So it's not like he's a cover band. But it's true. He's like... There is something to being a tribute band full time and that's... I don't know. Whatever. What we're trying to say is Skull and Rose is shame on you. That's weird. Don't fucking steal money out of the dead community.

I'm not saying they stole, but it looks like they stole. They might not get the money. They might have to use it all to pay something off. That's the other thing. They had big bands. That's the problem. Who are some of the bigger bands on it?

I think O'Teele was on it. Oh, shit. I bet he got paid. And Marvin Seals. They got that deposit, at least. That's what I'm saying. When you're a new festival, agents sometimes will take 75% up front. Whoa, that's smart. And I'm on the agent side with that.

I'm on the agent side, too, because shit like this happens. It's like getting a hotel room. You're whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. By the way, shout out to John Bongiorno. Dude, the best. My fucking guy. Hell yeah.

John, listen to my album. Maybe you can give me some gigs. Yeah, give him some gigs. Yeah, but so I'm coming back around on Chris Robinson. I was wrong. I don't admit I'm wrong very often. Chris Robinson,
