Andy, it's Todd.
I just made you the little recording
if I was the President of the United States.
Now, I'm on the treadmill right now.
Now I'm thinking, should I send it?
That's the problem, I think.
Every time I make something, I overthink it.
I said some words wrong, but I'm sending it to you.
So play this one first, and please follow my cues for music to a T.
Please, thank you.
Hi, this is Todd Glass, and if I was the President of the United States,
what would I do?
Cue the music.
I don't like that music.
It was too loud, and it got in the way of what I was going to say.
I could tell the minute it came on.
Come on.
When I say cue the music, it means you bring in some tasteful music.
Maybe trumpets, but not too loud.
There you go.
Well, I'll tell you what I would do if I was the president of the United States.
Some older people, mostly all, they think, oh, young people don't buy our bullshit because they're getting dumber and dumber. Why aren't these young people buying what we're saying? Oh,'re older, if I was the president of the United States and you're older and you weren't helping with whatever the new cause was, recycling of the environment,
a certain kindness that we're trying to treat other people with. If you weren't helping, you're not doing anything. You're fine. You're fine. But if you fight, fight it, we euthanize you. Yeah.
That's what we got to do. You go, oh, I don't know about this new thing that's come along.
Okay. That's fine. Can you just sit back and not get in our way now or put them,
maybe drown them.
I don't know, something painless.
Is that the joking part of what I said
or is that the serious part of what I said?
I don't know.
But I know if there was a fire, a big raging fire,
and all the neighbors were helping trying to put it out
before the fire department got there,
and there was five people not doing anything,
nah, they'd probably be, all right, I wish they'd help,
but they're just sitting on their porch watching,
sitting on their porch watching.
But if they came over to where the fire was
and tried to take the hoses out of people's hands
and block people from trying to stop the fire,
yeah, euthanize them.
Woo!
And we're back.
Andy Frasco's Wednesday podcast.

for the podcast is just
OJ non-stop.
I should wear this to a family wedding.
God, that's so funny.
Go to Julie's cousin's wedding and wear the OJ shirt.

I accidentally had my birthday on a Monday this year.
Dumbass!
I know.
You're so hypocritical, and I'm going to give you fucking hell on earth.
I'm going to make this so obnoxious.
I'm going to have a fucking cake.
I'm going to have confetti.
We're not going to have trivia.
No, no trivia.
This is going to be a straight up fucking third grader birthday party.
I should do a roundabout just me.
But make it so people can guess like,
what was my favorite thing when I was little?
And then about like give a hint.
So like, it's kind of a fun idea, actually.
You should just do trivia about you.
Yes, I'm saying.
In 1974.
1974?
I'm not that old.
When were you born?
81.
Oh, you're the same age as my sister Yeah
Does that put it in perspective for you how fucking immature I am?
Isn't she like a doctor?

Just how weird come is.
It's so weird.
It's just like a weird thing.
Me and my high school friends were on our little game chat last week or
maybe a couple of weeks ago.
And I was talking about how it's kind of like when you're with a girl and you come at the end.
It's really embarrassing, actually.
It's like, you know what I mean?
Yeah, it is.
Like right afterwards and just like during.
You're like, oh, I can't control my penis.
I don't know.
It's like.
And you're like vulnerable.
Yeah, so vulnerable.
Your neck veins start popping out.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You start speaking in tongues. Don't touch me. I'll do it. I'll finish it. Yeah, veins start popping out. Yeah, you start speaking in tongues.
Don't touch me.
I'll finish it.
Yeah, it's so weird.
And they have to sit there and just like take it.
I feel so bad for women.
I do.
It's got to be the worst thing that they have to deal with with men, right?
Us coming consensually.
Man or the bear.
Have you seen that man versus the bear thing?
I hooked up with a girl
A couple months ago
Congrats
Or like three months
Four months ago maybe
I don't know
And after we made love
She just patted me on the back
Damn
I think that's kind of
That's not a compliment
She did it as
Like it was funny
Oh I thought she was doing it like
Okay we're done here
She's your grandpa
And she went to your Little League game,
and you struck out to end the game with the bases loaded,
and you were down two runs.
You tried.
So vulnerable.
So weird.
I don't like it.
I don't either.
How long did we go before talking about cum?
What, nine minutes and 48 seconds?
At least we weren't talking about hard drugs.
That's pretty good.
Well, not everybody, but...
Having a May birthday rules, dude. That's pretty good. Well, not everybody, but...
How about the May birthday rules, dude? It's cool.
Especially back home. It's like the race
month. The weather's nice.
Oh, Indiana race. It's like
Indiana 500. What do they call it? Indianapolis 500.
Indy 500. It's huge. I was at my
friend Ladey's last week for that wedding.
I was staying. The people across
the street from her, literally their whole garage door is painted
like a checkered flag.
They have these people living in an RV in their yard for the month
because they're just here for the race.
People go to the track every day the whole month
and just hang out and shit.
When I think of Indy 500, I think of Florida.
That's weird.
Just the people.
The people who go to those Indy 500s.
No, it's not NASCAR.
It's a little higher up in terms of just how classy they are.
It's open wheel racing. There's a couple europeans in there oh okay yeah they have it's just a month-long
party down at the track it's the biggest single day sporting event in the world you know that
no like three i don't remember 400 000 people go every year on the one day i don't go i can't do
it what have you ever done it i've gone once it's just too hot is it like it's so you got to really
be into it but i go to like
i'll go to a pole position day where they like do the time trials to see who gets the pole or
carb day that's fun i can't believe you've never played the track during the month it's like they
always have a big river no i don't think you're not big enough yeah they have like big shit but
i feel like now you're like in that world where you could get on that it'd be cool it's really
high paying jordan i want to play i want to play the f1 stuff dude that's cool too but they want

she wants me to wear turtlenecks all the time.
I'll have to do it,
but I'll look myself in the mirror
while I'm going outside.
Awkward as fuck, but I love her.
You can pull off a turtleneck, I think.
I've been pulled off a turtleneck.
Yeah, you can do it. You have a skinny enough neck.
Yeah? It's all about the neck? I think. I've been pulling off a turtleneck. Yeah, you can do it. You have a skinny enough neck. Yeah?

For your own vacation.
Christ, dude. All right Alright where are you going?
I'm gonna try to find my lost
Relatives of the Frascos in Italy

Maybe I'll put it on video
People love
Genealogy
I'm gonna go to Sicily
And I'm gonna go to Rome And and I'm going to go to Rome
and I'm going to try
to find frascos.
They all look like you,
but they're just Catholic.
I've been...
So, you know,
you know Nick McDaniel's
girlfriend or kind of wife?
I haven't really met her,
actually.
Brie Frasca?
No, I haven't met her.
So, my name is really Frasca
in Italy.
Maybe you're related.
I think she's my cousin.
Dude, I'm just picturing you going over there and going to this little Italian village and
everybody looks exactly like you.
We should have...
And they're all driving little Fiats around and getting little personal pampers.
They're like, come is weird, pussy, get a me.
Yeah, they're all dirtbag.
Everybody in Italy fucking hates them.
Oh, God, the Frascas are here. They're obsessed withbag. Everybody in Italy fucking hates them. Oh, God.
The frascas are here.
They're obsessed with watches.
They're obsessed with...
Italian dress and all that.
And then I go in my whole side plot for the thing is I'm just trying to take down the
Catholic Church.
Yeah.
It's like the Vatican City, bro.
Have you ever been there?
I love the Vatican.
Dude, I love all the Catholic...
Yeah, I went to Vatican City.
I love Italy.
I've been there. I love Catholics. I'm not a big fan, I love all the Catholic. I went to Vatican City. I love Italy. One thing about Catholics,
I'm not a big fan of some of their legal proceedings,
but goddamn, they got some fucking fire architecture.
Yeah, they do.
Some of the greatest buildings on earth
were built by strong Catholic men.
Really?
Employees.
Jesus fucking Christ.
I said employees, all right?
I didn't say the real word. Jesus fucking Christ. I employees alright I didn't say the real word Jesus fucking Christ
I'm just saying what happened
But do you think we could convince volume
To make a documentary of me
Finding my long lost family
Is it interesting enough
Um
Damn it'd be just hard I don't know
It just depends on what happens I guess
That's the hard thing
Or what if they're just boring as shit Damn it'd be just hard I don't know Cause It just depends on what happens I guess That's the hard thing What if you don't find them
Yeah or what if they're just
Boring as shit
Yeah
They're like hey
We're all librarians in Italy
I don't know
I think it's
You're Sicilian
I kinda wanna see my roots
Because like
I definitely not
Anything like
I kinda am like
My mom's side of the family
But I'm way more
Like
Crazy
Crazy like my dad's side
But I think John Shields wants to
come with me. Of Little
Stranger? Yeah. We want to
take a vacation where we're not working.
Huh.
I think finding my family is kind of
not working, but also working.
John Shields. John Shields is like,
I'll go with you to find your family, man.
I should go find my family.
I fucking love them. By the way, God at a Festival is crushing.
Is it?
Yeah, it's getting good streams.
Because of the Mincy Chair video?
The music video is pretty good.
I can't wait for you to see it.
Check out God at a Festival.
You'll love the music video.
It's pretty fucking good.
God at a Festival.
I really wanted to keep it. Found God at a Festival. God at a Festival. You'll love the music video. It's pretty fucking... God at a Festival. I really wanted to keep it
found God at a Festival.
God at a Festival.
Sounds like you're saying
you're God at a Festival.
Exactly.
I don't like that.
I don't know why the label...
You need to run this shit by me.
I'm a copywriter.
I know, but it's not me.
It's their label
and ethical or whatever.
Okay, okay, okay.
They're like,
yeah, this sounds cooler.
I'm like,
it sounds a little more pretentious
to be honest.
Oh, weird.
The label people were wrong again.
Oh, God.
I hate label people.
Dude, don't even get started on anybody on that side of the business.
Label people are annoying.
I met one cool label person.
Yeah, there's cool labels.
Paul Pontius was really cool, but everyone else is just like, think they know fucking everything.
They're nerds, bro.
They don't know shit.
Analytics.
They don't know shit.
They're nerds.
That doesn't sound cooler.
They're wrong.
God at a Festival sounds way more pretentious.
Sounds like you're getting worshipped.
Yeah.
Found God at a festival is way cooler.
Yeah.
But they don't want to fucking bark up with the Christians or whatever.
That seems way better than calling yourself God, though.
See what I mean?
Yeah.
It makes me feel like...
Why am I so much smarter than everyone that makes more money than me in the music industry?
Because we're just two white dudes with a podcast.
I know.
These people make the dumbest decisions.
They just think too much.
When is pissing off the Christians
ever hurt a band?
It's usually good for business.
Yeah, exactly.
It's literally a great marketing ploy.
I love pissing off the Christians
All you're doing is pissing off people that aren't going to go to your shit anyway
Because only people that really get pissed off are like
People that don't leave their house
I know
This isn't about all Christians
We're not saying all Christians suck
I'm just talking about like the 10% of every group
That just can't not be offended
Exactly
Jews, a lot of people don't like the Jews right now.
But also there's historical context
that pissing off the Christians
is good for the brand.
Pissing off the Christians.
Look at all those 80s metal bands.
That's how they made a living.
Oh my God.
Are we a new age 80s metal band?
No.
Also, you should...
You should just like fucking have an-down cross as your next...
Oh, didn't they, like, Little Red or something get fucked up about that during the Super Bowl?
Sexy Red?
Yeah, but who cares?
She's a drill rapper or whatever.
Who gives a fuck, dude?
Why are you getting mad at people who aren't even in your religion?
They're like, everyone who's a celebrity is a Satanist.
Yeah, okay. I don't think that's true.
I don't think that's true either.
I don't think they care enough. I think they're too obsessed with themselves.
When did people start losing their mind with all this conspiracy
series?
I think it started...
I think it's always been there a little bit.
People are kooky now.
COVID didn't help. It was kind of starting a little bit before that too, though.
What do you mean?
Because I remember when they announced the vaccine coming out I was like, oh fuck.
Here we go. I don't know. I think
it kind of really ramped up around when
Obama got elected.
Really? That pissed off the honks.
And they're like, he's Muslim.
Remember? Remember that thing with McCain
where he was doing like a town hall and that lady's like
I don't like him. He's an Arab or something like that oh my god and john mccain class act actually
especially if i mean even for like if you don't like republicans he's a pretty good republican
he was like no he's a good man we just disagree i mean it's so different than the discourse now
right this is like during a national televised thing she's old white lady's like he's a i don't
remember what she called him either a muslim or an arab you know something bad because of his name people are scared of his name
basically and then they're like he's like no he's a good man and now donald trump's like sleepy joe
biden you know and everybody's calling trump i mean it's not like trump doesn't get the same
rhetoric the other way but i don't know man it's pretty stupid but i think that's kind of when the
conspiracy theories plus the internet everybody has access to each other. Yeah, I think people got
bored because no one has jobs anymore.
That and just people
want to seem smarter than they are.
It's okay to just be regular, smart, and accept
reality.
You don't have to have a cool opinion on everything.
Every celebrity's not a Satanist.
They're not worshipping the devil. They're worshipping
themselves. They don't give a shit about anything.
You know what I mean? Yeah, it's like... Although the Met Gala is pretty themselves they don't give a shit about anything you know what I mean yeah it's like although the Met Gala
is pretty corny yeah
I couldn't believe
the charity
is for costumes
that's so fucking
corny dude they raised 26 million
dollars first of all these are not like
even the celebrities that are like handpicked
like on the internet like how there's different
celebrities now
where the regular people just like you.
I like that better, that model.
These are the corny people that Hollywood picked.
They're showing up in the dumbest outfits
you've ever seen in your life,
acting like they're...
You know what they remind me of?
What?
I don't know if you had these kids at your high school.
I went to a private school,
so there was a subset of these rich dorks
that thought they were cool, but no one really liked them, but they were rich.
So like they would have parties at their house, so you would still kind of pretend they were cool, but everyone knew they were kind of douches.
You know what I mean?
But you'd still go there and drink throughout the hall.
Right, because they had a mansion and like, you know what I mean?
I had a friend named Brad that was like that.
And they were hot, too, because they have rich... They're hot moms.
Rich dads have hot wives, so they have hot kids.
So they're hot. They are hot.
But it's like... That's what the Met Gala is to me.
They're like the dork rich kids. You know what I mean?
Yeah. I mean, Calabasas is
that fucking M.O.
Yeah. Then that stupid
fucking ice purse.
$22,000 for something.
It's like, dude, what the fuck, dude?
People are being murdered around the world.
You know what I mean?
You're not even that talented, most of you.
It's just obnoxious.
It's obnoxious.
If you're going to be that obnoxious,
at least donate to a good cause.
Exactly.
That's what I'm saying.
If they were being fucking obnoxious
and $26 million goes to whatever,
whatever you pick that would help the world.
I don't want to...
World hunger.
Whatever.
Something, yeah. Even something general like that. That'd be that would help the world. World hunger. Whatever.
Even something general like that.
That'd be fine.
If OJ did it fund.
Costumes? That is the most theater kid shit I've ever heard in my life.
Who the hell needs $26 million for costumes,
by the way?
People aren't even making movies like that anymore.
And costumes,
Broadway, musical stuff,
it's like a rich man's game.
Exactly.
They're already rich, dude.
It's like, also, it's like, what do you need?
Like more fucking Hollister t-shirts?
Don't get me started.
More Hollister t-shirts for the next episode of Euphoria? Like, what the hell do you need $26 million for just for costumes?
I don't know.
But this world is crumbling.
Like Jennifer Lopez's of the world, you know?
Yeah.
And like, it's like, I don't know.
We should do our own Met Gala for looks.
A New York Mets Gala?
No, we should do a fucking festival Met Gala.
And here's Wild Bear with her eucalyptus tree dress.
Yeah, raising $26 million for ketamine research.
Eucalyptus tree.
Yeah.
Raising $26 million for ketamine research.
We're raising money for ketamine research. We raised $260 for ketamine research, which is just us buying ketamine and doing it.
Just kidding.
I actually never know how to have ketamine.
You know what's scary?
Speaking of ketamine, festivals are dropping like flies.
Dude. It's scary. We kind of Festivals are dropping like flies Dude It's scary
We kind of predicted this
A couple years ago
We predict
Play the tapes
We fucking predicted this
It's all going to the
Like
Four bands
In the middle of town
Well yeah
You know it's less risk
For a promoter
I actually like those better
What?
I like those festivals better
I do too
I'm not trying to camp it
I don't really like We're old dude No but I didn't even like it when i was like eight you know what i mean like i i just
i don't need to be three hours from an airport you know yeah that's true the best i don't need
to be three i don't know it's just like being outside it's not for me sometimes but um you
know it is cool when you're like 22 to pretend you're poor for three days and do drugs but
i don't know.
Everything comes and goes.
Festivals haven't existed for all time.
It's cyclical.
They came around in the 90s more.
I don't know.
Yeah, I think sleeping festivals are going to be obsolete in five years also it's like historically festivals have not been
some sort of successful venture even like the first woodstock was a mess you know what i mean
and the second one but then i look at all like the dj festivals and the young kids love that
shit yeah they do it's just you gotta just poke what people like i guess but even those are in
vegas and they have hotels miami's ultra you know vegas I always think, is live music dying?
And then I realize...
I don't think so.
I think just how it's presented...
We're figuring out how to rebrand live music.
We'll be alright. We don't need to have things with
80 bands on them, where 60 of the bands
don't even need...
And as a band, it's better if there's less bands
so there's less competition.
We should be vouching for
right you know eight band bills yeah fuck other bands fuck anyone else you know what i've been
trying to make it in this industry this is about meat no i'm just kidding no but like if if we have
eight band bills then everyone could have their piece of the pie when they have their show yeah
exactly this is what you're gonna i feel bad for the band to get the fucking $1,000 offer, the $500
offer. They drive 15 hours
and lose a grand
and play for nobody at
1 p.m. on the fucking small-ass
stage. Just to be on a poster.
Just to be on a poster. Sometimes that does help you get on that
poster, though. It's weird.
You think it does, but it actually doesn't, actually.
I don't think. No, it's all an illusion.
Unless you're on the top four rows.
Yeah, because people are like, they played summer camp.
It's like, all right, give us shit.
Yeah.
90 people played summer camp.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, and it's so funny how these agents and managers, they really jockey for.
Yeah, because they get their $150 either way.
I'll tell you what.
I've been confirming some shows As my own manager
I'm making some dough
Good
Let's fucking go
Hell yeah
Or saving some money
Hell yeah
Managers make a lot of money dude
Yeah don't even
Don't
I'm realizing that as
The gross is bullshit
The gross is kind of bullshit
There's only one group of people who doesn't think
the gross is bullshit. Managers. Exactly.
Yeah, the gross, that's
going to change too. I think it's cool.
There's not enough money to go around.
That's going to change too. It doesn't bother me as much
with agents. No, because they're actually
the ones bringing in the money.
It's quantifiable.
Managers are just managing the money and they're just
delegating it to people. Delegating the work. Yeah, we've been over money and they're just delegating it to people.
Delegating the work.
They're just endurance, I guess.
Well, I think they thought they were smarter than everyone and now we're all
caught up to their game. Yeah, they used to be smarter than everyone.
The
curtain has been lifted
on you fucking dorks.
I'm still looking for
a manager, though. Anyone who wants to...
Anyone who wants to sign the frasco
while I'm bitter about management,
holler at me.
No, it's really...
It's kind of wild.
I think we need to start a union
for bands.
Nope.
Why not?
I'm out on musician union.
Why?
Because, I don't know,
it just doesn't seem like know Unless you're in an orchestra
What's the impetus by the venues
To work with the union
There's too much competition
So many people will not do it
Because they'll be like
If I don't join the union
I can work around the union
I don't think it's like
We have to do different things
The structure of it
They've already started a million musicians
The Musician Union died.
I mean, they used to have one.
We're just hard-working boys
doing hard-working work.
Used to have to have
in the 50s a cabaret car
to even perform
in New York City and shit.
You had to like...
Kind of stopped to do that
for busking.
Be a certain level
of musician.
You can't busk
without a permit.
Really?
Uh-huh.
In New York.
Yeah, I just don't think i don't think
musicians like will work together enough there's too many musicians like there's
too many people trying to get a small piece of the pie that don't give a fuck about the other people
because there's no accountability like you don't need like a license to be a musician so like
welder union works because like only so many people are skilled and you know what i'm saying
here there's going to be a ton of bands
that are like,
I don't want to be in a union.
I'll just take 500 bucks less
than all those people
and take their gigs.
Right.
Do a non-union gig.
Right.
Unless you're willing to cut their hand off
like they used to
or beat the shit out of them
like they did in the 40s and 50s.
Musician union used to do that
to people in Chicago.
They'd beat the fuck out of you
if you did a non-union gig.
It was basically like the mob. They'd beat the fuck out of you if you did a non-union gig. They'd beat the fuck out of you?
I mean, you know, the union has its connections
to organized crime, historically.
And I just don't think that
anybody would do that now.
So I just don't think a musicians' union will work
because there's too many desperate loser
musicians. Really?
Yeah, I just think they won't
adhere to the union.
The only time you need a union is when you're playing in the symphony orchestra or...
You know what I'm saying?
Should I hire a mob guy to be my manager?
Like kind of how Led Zeppelin did?
That'd be cool.
Someone who's just fucking angry.
Yeah.
Billy the Bones or something.
Billy the Bones?
William the Bones.
Fuck. What are you doing?
Playing Minecraft? No, I was like looking
if we're doing our
ad read for Pine Melon yet.
But I think we're going to do it next week.
We don't even know about the product yet. We have a new sponsor.
Pine Melon. We'll talk about them next week.
They're really cool.
If you're in the Colorado area, it's kind of like
Hello Fresh. Oh no, it's Hello Fresh.
But it's for organic food and stuff.
Yeah.
They're like, see, everyone?
We're organic.
We're an organic company.
We're like a mom-pa shop, this podcast, okay?
Just want everyone to know that.
Yep.
We're a hardware store in West Virginia.
We're a fucking hardware store.
So if you're going to try to take the gross...
Take the gross.
Then take the gross.
But we're going to yell at you for taking the gross.
Yeah, it's okay.
We understand that's the rules, but it's still bullshit.
Yeah, we get it.
At least they're not at the Met Gala.
Technically the same thing.
God, that shit's annoying.
I hate those people.
The catering at festivals is kind of like the Met Gala.
Yeah?
Because it's just all managers just sitting around.
Oh, I know.
Talking about comparing each other's dicks.
Talking about how their artist is the best musician.
They're so talented.
Everybody thinks their artist is the talent.
He's so deep.
It's like, no, no, man.
Just fucking book the gigs, dude.
I'm never going to get a manager after this episode.
There's some managers I like.
I'm just talking about the 80% of them that are bad.
Like cops.
There's good cops.
There's a couple good cops in there.
Would you ever be a cop?
No.
What about a private detective?
I'd rather be a judge.
A judge?
Yeah, that'd be fun.
That's a lot of pressure.
Yeah.
You just like point your finger and someone would die.
Yeah.
You like that?
Yeah.
What are you talking about?
I'm wearing an OJ
didn't do it shirt, dude.
Private investigator
would be kind of fun.
Private investigator
would be fun.
I want to be a private
investigator, but like only on the internet. be fun I want to be a private investigator
But like only on the internet
I don't want to drive around and follow people
Right
Spy on people who are cheating on their spouses and shit
That's how people do that
They hire people to do that
I'd be so scared that like
They would like catch on to it
You'd be really good at that shit
Yeah that's the point
You'd have to have a license I I think, to be a PI.
It's kind of like you're stalking someone.
That's scary.
Yeah.
I haven't had a stalker in a long time.
When's the last time you had a stalker?
You had one?
Yeah, I had a stalker.
Was it a male?
A woman.
Oh.
Usually it's men.
She would send me these crazy letters.
Oh, I remember this.
Crazy, crazy letters.
What happened to her?
And then they got a little more kookier and a little more kookier.
And then...
She stopped?
No, I blocked her.
Oh.
And then she, I guess, got a new number and she started hitting me up again.
And I blocked her again.
Because we didn't even...
I'm surprised you didn't sleep with her.
Nothing sexual.
No.
Just kidding.
I'm a good guy.
You should marry her.
People who say I'm a good guy aren't a good guy.
I shouldn't say that.
I know.
Don't ever say you're a good guy.
I'm not going to convince someone I'm a good guy.
You're safe with me, girls.
That's so gross.
I know, but that's...
I hate those guys.
Hello?
Yes.
Come here, ladies.
We could have a snuggle in the bedroom.
Stop calling yourself
A male feminist
You just sound like
A fucking psycho dude
Who says that
Just like
Dorky guys
That like
Want to trap women
And hurt them
That's bullshit
Like those guys
That wear like
This is what a feminist
Look like t-shirts
Like
Okay well
You look like shit
You're literally not
With a woman right now Calm down dude You got blotchy skin Yeah exactly You're literally not with a woman right now.
Calm down, dude.
You got blotchy skin.
Yeah, exactly.
You're fucking Dungeons and Dragons ass.
There's still cum on your t-shirt from the masturbation that you did in your mom's basement.
Yeah, you're a feminist until the girl doesn't go out with you and then you freak out on her.
Yeah, and then you freak out and then you stalk her.
Did you watch Baby Reindeer, by the way?
No.
It's about stalker.
No, tell me.
What is it?
This new series on Netflix
Is it good?
I thought it was wild, dude
And then this guy
Is it real life?
Yeah, it's based on a real
And the guy who really got stalked
Wrote and plays himself in it
You gotta watch it
It's only like four or five episodes
I'd love to watch that
It's on Netflix.com
Oh, really?
Yeah
Is that website cool?
It's a pretty cool website
I don't know how sports I watched this great movie. It's like
a Japanese movie.
Godzilla?
Godzilla.
Pearl Harbor? What?
Shut the fuck up.
Every Japanese movie we know
about here is just a water disaster.
Pearl Harbor, Godzilla.
We should call Bon Jovo and see how
the management... John Bon?
John Bon. I love
John. John's been helping me through this whole management
thing. He calls me every day.
He's like... You're like his
seventh biggest client. He wants to keep you on the roster.
No,
it's just a friend. He's like, this is a learning
experience for you, Andy.
Don't say yes to everyone.
Anyone yet.
Hear what everyone has to say.
Half these managers only have a career because they had a friend who was really talented
when they were in college.
And they're like, I'll be your manager.
And then that person blew up.
And then other artists think they're good at managing because they just happen to manage
a really successful artist.
And then so they sign all these other people.
You know what I mean?
God, we're just talking shit.
No, we're not.
We're just stereotyping.
We're generalizing, though.
We're not saying this manager is bad.
You just say your manager and your manager, too.
There's no test.
You don't get to pass your Series 7.
I'm a Series 7 jam band manager.
You know what I mean?
You literally just need a friend that is successful.
Yeah.
That's how most managers get in.
They make friends with a successful person before they're successful.
Take the credit.
Thank you for being a friend.
Nick, you understand me.
I get it, though.
You fucking understand me.
I understand the music business.
I feel crazy talking about this.
I understand the music business.
Because everyone thinks like,
oh, you're just being,
you're just being fucking jaded
or being jealous.
That's literally the model, dude.
Not all of them.
I'm talking about
80 to 90% of them.
It's like cops,
like I said.
There are good managers out there.
Yeah, I can think of a couple
in Denver I really like
hanging out with.
Yeah.
They like are...
Brian was a good manager.
Brian is a good manager.
I think about who works
for like Irving Azoff
and his crew.
Yeah.
What's his... Irving Azoff does his crew Yeah What's his Irving Azoff
I've heard of him
But like what's his company called
I forgot
It's him
Yeah but he has like
He's one of the biggest ever
Yeah yeah
LA managers are so funny
I don't really fuck with LA people
That's the epitome
Of the rich people
I took one
It's the same thing
As the Met Gala
It's the rich kids
Who think they're cool
And aren't cool
Joe's gonna be like
Why are you talking about
Managers for 10 minutes
Who cares
We're talking shit About the music industry It's fine But I just think that cool that aren't cool. Joe's going to be like, why are you talking about managers for 10 minutes? Who cares?
We're talking shit about the music industry.
It's fine. I just think that the veil is being lifted on LA.
It's more about the cool people
have tricked us for so long that
they need to be in charge and they
can help you do it, but it's like, what are you
even fucking doing? We're not
going to be brainwashed anymore, okay?
We are taking the power back
as fucking artists.
Some of them, their biggest skill is that they have a rich
dad. What?
Some of them, their biggest skill is they have a rich dad.
What, the jam scene? Just in general.
The music scene. I don't think there's like a...
I think every industry is like that.
Every popular jam band has a rich dad.
Yeah, I'd hate to be that guy, though.
It's like, rich dad. I don't know, it's kind of complaining
Yeah, it is complaining
But it is kind of also a thing
But also, I think that's true in every industry
That's true
You know what I mean?
Yeah, how do we break that cycle where
Well, this is what's the problem
We don't have a middle class anymore
We don't have a way
For lower income people To move up The middle class anymore. We don't have a way for lower income people
to move up.
The middle class is terrible.
The middle class is terrible now. There's no middle class in America.
That's the boomers' fault too, a little bit.
Is it?
A little bit, yeah. The boomers destroyed the economy.
You think so? Yeah, there's a lot of evidence
that points to it. I've been reading this book about it.
Well, they refuse to sell their homes. They refuse
to retire. They never think they're wrong about anything
They keep voting the wrong people
The boomers still believe in the system
Which is bad because the system sucks
You know what I mean
I think millennials don't believe in the system
Gen Z really doesn't though
Gen Z doesn't
That's the break
And I think that boomers
They trust authority way more
than other people. They think that they were taught
so well that the
teachers and the cops and the politicians are
good people. You know what I mean?
For instance,
my mom, she loves Biden because
she's a boomer Democrat.
They just want the Democrats to be right.
You know what I mean? So whatever they say is true.
And if you argue with it, it's like, no, the government said it. The government lies constantly. It's what they do. You know what I mean? So whatever they say is true, and if you argue with it, well, it's like, no,
the government said it, but the government lies
constantly. It's what they do. You know what I mean?
Hey, put up...
What are the difference age groups between
Boomer, Gen X, Millennium?
Okay, Boomer is
1955
to... Or no, I'm sorry. Boomer
is 1940,
like right after World War II to like early 60s.
All right.
What does that say?
Yeah.
Boomer's, okay.
46 to 64.
Okay.
Gen X is like right before me.
And then Gen Y is bullshit.
What's Gen Y?
That's millennials.
That's millennials.
And Gen Z is Gen Z.
So Gen Y, millennials is 1980 through 1994.
That's me.
Yep.
And me.
Gen Z is 1995.
So Gen Z does. Gen Z is 1995. So Gen Z does...
Gen Z is older than people think,
but people do this to millennials too.
Everyone thinks like 17...
Remember people thought like
they would call like 20-year-olds millennials forever,
but it's like, no, millennials are like 35.
Yeah.
You just won't let them buy houses,
so they seem younger than they are.
Yeah, millennials have amazing worth ethic
for not making any fucking money.
That's definitely the boomers' fault.
Yeah.
Some people say...
What about Gen X?
What happened to them?
They made money.
They're just chilling, I think.
They're cool, though.
They're not annoying.
But wait, they'll get annoying soon.
Once the boomers start dying off, they'll become the boomers.
That's what happens.
But another thing with boomers is they...
Hold on.
64. 46 to 64 is baby boom... Hold on. 64.
46 to 64 is baby boomers.
Oh, yeah.
One famous quote I heard.
I can't remember who said it.
He said,
the baby boomers were the first generation
to leave the world worse off for their kids
than they found it.
Really?
Because they got handed everything, man.
That's true.
The greatest generation set them up.
The silent generation.
The silent generation. That was, what, greatest generation set them up. The silent generation. The silent generation.
That was, what, the 30s? World War II.
America. All the war wars.
The people who saved us from the Germans.
You're welcome. They came back
and handed
the boomers everything. They were a little distant.
That's why boomers are bad parents.
Because they're distant. Because their parents didn't
talk to them. Because they all had PTSD from watching
their friend get shot in the face on the beach.
Jesus fucking Christ.
Chill, chill, chill with that shit.
Well, it happened.
What's New Age warfare going to be like?
Probably like cyber attacks.
Cyber attacks or like drones?
Drones.
Well, that's already happening.
But I think the next big catastrophe, if there's an international one, will be whatever country
just cyber attacks another country
and takes down their whole power grid
for three days.
Which doesn't sound that bad,
but a lot of people will die if that happens.
Really?
Are they doing the winter?
You know what I mean?
The supply chain?
Or fucking up the supply chain.
That's way worse than just dropping a bomb on someone.
Everybody's scared of nuclear
war, but I think that the threat of nuclear
war is what prevents nuclear war.
Sort of like everybody's too scared to do it
because then they know they'll get it back, but I think
the next big thing will be a cyber
attack. I also think the Olympics is
going to be kind of dangerous this year.
Really? International incidents,
it's in Paris.
They're going to have to get security up.
A lot of international terrorist incidents have happened in Paris.
Right.
Because it's very, you know, there's just all kinds of people there.
Like that one shooting at the, not Queens, the Stone Age concert.
The guy from that band.
Yeah.
Eagles of Death Metal.
Yeah, that shooting and there was a soccer shooting.
There just seems to be always something going on in France.
Yeah.
I know that they definitely have to have thought about this.
You know what I mean?
But I don't know, man.
We'll see, though.
And then, you know, things are so tense in the Middle East,
that's usually when these kind of things happen.
It's kind of like the Munich games when they had all that
attack on the Israelis.
I don't see any reason why something like that
couldn't happen in Paris.
I asked Molly Tuttle yesterday if she's an Illuminati.
Is she?
Bluegrass Illuminati. She's like, Ill Tuttle yesterday if she's an Illuminati. Is she? Bluegrass Illuminati.
She's like,
I asked her,
what is more cult-y?
Like, when you were at the Grammys,
or when you were at the Bluegrass IDBA,
or whatever the...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What is it?
I don't want to tell you.
Oh, yeah, yeah, duh.
I thought it was Bluegrass.
People come.
Yeah, it is.
Yeah.
Well, those people are obsessed with those. Bluegrass cult-y as shit, dude. I don't really to tell you. Oh, yeah, yeah, duh. I've had bluegrass. People come. Yeah, it is. Yeah. Well, those people are obsessed with bluegrass.
Bluegrass is culty as shit, dude.
I don't really like bluegrass.
Like, the sort of fandom around it.
Sort of like, it's really weird how they're too traditional.
Yeah, I mean.
It's got to be a certain way.
Going back to the Christians.
It does kind of have something to do with that.
Yeah, I mean, there's a strong link between.
Christians are kind of culty.
Yeah, but still, it's every religion.
True. Yeah, that mean, there's a strong link between... Christians are kind of culty. Yeah, but so is every religion. True. Yeah. That's literally
all religions. I guess you could say that about like,
oh, the Jews run Hollywood. All the religions
start out as cults and then they grow into religions.
Wow.
This is like a history lesson
today on the WorldSaver podcast. Christians used to be like
in Rome,
like hiding out in houses, having their
little meetings to have church.
That's probably when it was the best time
to be a Christian.
Yeah.
Because they were actually
all good people
and they had to hide.
I don't know.
Whenever people want to kill you,
you might...
I don't know.
That's not true, actually.
Should I join a Christian rock band?
No.
Why not?
That sounds stupid.
Why would you do that?
Like Hillsong?
Like Need to Breathe
or something?
Speaking of crazy Christians, have you
seen this like guy in North Carolina's pastor's
wife kill himself? No, it's very
obvious that he either did it or
I don't want to talk about
I'm not qualified to talk about Israel,
but I mean, I have
my thoughts
game is nothing but everything
Andy got confused as we were talking about
religious history and he's like, I got to get out of this.
I am not qualified.
No, I can't talk about religious history.
People don't come here to hear us talk about NPR.
I thought it was pretty interesting what I was saying, though.
It was.
So what did we learn from that?
I was done with it, too.
I don't know, man.
I don't think we learned anything, and that's the problem.
Sometimes there's just no moral to the story.
You're just fucked.
You know, well, we did learn that
Frasco pigeons and dogs and apes
Are going on tour
And we start this week
Here we go
Is Ross going?
I think so, yeah
Asbury Park, New Jersey on Friday
We're going to the Stone Pony
Oh, that's a spot
I love it
Buy your tickets
That's a 5,000 cap venue
Bruce Springsteen country.
I think we're at 3,000.
Holy shit.
Which is pretty cool.

No.
Yeah.
No, they don't actually.
Yeah, I don't think they do.
They work hard.
They're a hard-working band.
You have to still work hard even if you have a rich dad.
Maybe I'm stereotyping.

Don't we have to go over an hour since it's just us?
Oh, yeah.
Well, what do you want to talk about?
You want to talk about your sex life?
Oh, it's fine.
Just have the same sex with the same bitch.
I don't know what to tell you.
I'm just kidding.
She's not a bitch.
She's not a bitch.
She kind of is, though. That's kind of what I like about her.
I've never saw her as a bitch.
Not a bitch, but she just likes things a certain way.
Like what? You know, she's just type what I like about her. I've never saw her as a bitch. Not a bitch, but she just likes things a certain way.
Like what?
You know,
she just type A as fuck.
Yeah.
You are too though.
Me?
I kinda,
but also I'm a musician.
Do you ever just like,
no,
sit on the couch?
Yeah, I sit on the couch a lot actually.
And she's like,
she ever goes like,
get the fuck off the couch
and fucking do something.
No,
I'm pretty active.
I do more than you think I do
Oh do you want to do the 100 day positive challenge with me?
What is that? You have to do one thing a day?
Yeah 30 minute workout
Just either walking anything
Oh yeah okay
Want to do that?
Want to start in like July?
When you get off tour?
No I'm going to start this week
I promised Annie Bayless she's helping me
Like if I walk three miles that counts?
Yes
I already do that like three days, four days a week
I like to walk, put on headphones, listen to my things
Get in my own little world
If there's one thing I like to do in this world
It's just get in my own little universe
You know
Do I look run down?
No you look pretty good, you definitely look way worse than this
Yeah
Good What about, do you think my star is fading? Do I look run down? No, you look pretty good. You definitely looked way worse than this. Yeah?
Good.
Yeah.
What about, do you think my star is fading?
No, I think it's going the other way, actually.
Yeah.
Okay, cool.
Why?
Why do you think that?
I don't know.
I just sometimes get it in my head.
Like, I don't have a manager.
Oh, fair enough.
Yeah, I'm like, oh, fuck.
Yeah, but a bunch of managers want to be your manager.
That's a good sign.
Yeah.
But if I said I don't have a manager right now,
it's not like 13 people try to get me to have a meeting with them next week.
I don't know.
I'm just such... Why am I so confident with myself?
I don't think it's narcissism.
What's wrong with being confident?
It's just called...
I don't think it's healthy.
I don't know.
Everyone makes it seem like confidence is bad.
Yeah, because they're pussies, dude.
I'm so sick of that.
Yeah, you're right.
So sick of people when I go... I'm sick of pussies too, dude. I'm so sick of that. Yeah, you're right.
So sick of people.
I'm sick of pussies, too, dude.
I get this a lot when I go home to Indy.
I have a weird cachet of haters there.
Yeah, dude.
Julie points it out. In LA, when I go home to LA, they're like,
I got a weird cachet of haters, too, of my friends.
Yeah, Julie points it out.
Whenever we go to the mousetrap,
there's a certain group of dudes that just have never really...
They've come to my shows,
but it's almost like they want me to fail.
The only way they ever talk to me is like ribbing me
or making fun of me, which is fine. I can handle it.
Why they say, hey, Mr. Podcast
Guy. Yeah, or that. Are they still condescending
about that? That or they think I'm
like a huge dick,
which I can see that. I'm kind of a dick,
but like, you know what I mean? You're not that big of a dick. I know,
but like to them I am because they're pussies, remember?
Yeah, they're pussies. And then like're pussies Or just like I have a hot girlfriend
And they don't
I'm just doing way better
It's more just jealousy
I love how people belittle a podcast
Well my thing when I was in bands around Indies
I was never the guy that would hang out with all the fans
Not fans but people who came to the show
I always kind of like to have a little bit of distance
I like the missing
I just think it adds
That's not for everybody,
but like people there,
they see that as like, you're a dick or you don't.
Not me.
I'm kissing babies and taking photos.
And there's something to be said for that too.
Obviously you're doing better than I am.
So it's like, maybe I did it wrong,
but it's just how I am.
I can't be like, I just can't fake it, you know?
And it's like, I don't know.
The guys there just, not all of them,
but there is a certain,
all the women there love me though.
I think it's because I'm not a creep.
I don't ask them to hug me and rub their back
when I'm talking to them.
People in Indiana are touchy.
They are? Yeah, I think so.
The Midwest people are kind of touchy-feely, I think.
Why? Because they're just bored and they just have sex all the time?
Yeah, I think that people think I'm from the East Coast
a lot for a reason.
I sort of have this energy.
You do. I wouldn't think you're from the midwest especially considering the fact so compared to those people
and it's just like there's just you know i just can't ever just get a how you doing from one of
these guys you know yeah because they're haters they're not it's like hate it's also just like
not quite that level but i get what you're saying it's just like and i felt i feel affirmed when
like julie points out that she's like you're right about that like right because she doesn't
she usually likes to be like chill out dude you know what i mean yeah she's like no these
dudes are weird yeah i'm you know whatever they're all fat too so who cares they're poor and ugly so
who gives a what they think oh you're sober that's a good place to end up keep getting sober
who said that i just these guys drop-dead alcoholics for like
15 years, then they get sober and they win a trophy.
Yeah.
Not you, Stuart.
You're cool.
He was cool the whole time.
We're talking about other people.
I'm not talking about my buddy Stu.
He is the good kind of sober.
Yeah.
I like, yeah, it's really funny how people just party so hard and then
right when they get sober, it's like...
They act like they're like...
It's like when people...
It really has the exact energy to me.
It's when people become born-again Christians.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Or vegans.
Vegans.
Oh, my God.
That's a good one.
When someone first becomes a vegan,
they're like, shut the fuck up about it.
Yeah, you're losing all the
color on your face, dude.
You weigh 85 pounds.
Also, what's the other
thing like that? People who
start
exercising a lot. But I don't know.
I kind of like that. It's kind of good to tell people to exercise.
Or what about
like... I'm a DJ.
I don't mind if you're sober
Just don't like act like other people need to be sober
Some people can have two drinks and go home
Yeah
I hate when people
Belittle what I do
Because I like to drink
Like your hater
Like that fucking hater
I can't wait for him to come for me
Oh man
He started just like going after me
On his insta story Oh on his Insta story.
Oh, on his Insta story?
Yeah, he's like,
this guy,
drug addict,
look at his,
his eyeballs look like assholes.
He's not a drug addict, guys.
I hang out with him.
I actually kind of respected that dig.
That was kind of funny.
At least it was funny.
Yeah.
I like that.
And then he just started
getting mean
and then I started calling him
a trust fund kid
and he hated that.
That means it's true.
I know.
You can tell it's true if they get mad at you.
I make more money than you do.
This isn't a fucking
contest of who makes more money. Also, that's a very
douchey thing to say. Also, I doubt it.
No, this guy's a fucking loser.
Not gross.
If you have to take a picture next to your
middle-of-the-road
Lexus or
your fake Louis Vuitton bag.
I'm sorry. It's like a $45,000 car.
Who gives a fuck, dude?
No disrespect.
If you have a Lexus shot...
That's fine, but don't take a picture next to it.
Don't be like...
This isn't prom, dog.
It's your fucking Lexus. Shut the fuck up.
It's just a fancy Toyota.
It's a Toyota Celica on drugs.
Who gives a fuck, dude?
Nobody gives a shit about your car.
You can tell when guys don't get laid.
That's why I don't brag.
I never have a picture with my old Porsche or my house.
If you went to the house store, people would shit their pants.
Not because it's, like, huge.
It's just, like, sick.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Like, I'm never bragging about that shit.
No, and your
porsche you didn't even really buy it so no my dad helped but like so but like oh shit do i have a
rich dad yeah well he's not that rich uh well well oh no we've been talking shit about rich
dad jam hold on hold on your dad is rich but in the scope of the world yeah but not like
compared to other he's not a millionaire.
He's not rich compared to the rich
people you know. But he's definitely
in the scope of the universe. Your dad's one of the richest
people of all time. Isn't that weird?
Shut the fuck up. I know. It's true, though. It's weird.
Even we are. Yeah, we are.
Just by the fact that we live inside.
You know what I'm saying?
That's pretty cool.
Fresco's eyeballs are assholes. How can someone sit around and think about it? Do you even know the guy in saying? That's pretty cool. Prescott's eyeballs are assholes.
How can someone sit around and think about it?
Do you even know the guy in person?
No, he was attacking me on the Umphreys McGee page.
I went back and fucking slapped back.
I'm like, this fucking trust fund bitch.
Let me do that for you.
I'm pretty good at it.
Then he went after me.
I'm being petty.
I didn't say every fucking thing. Remember that one guy that was calling you a fifth-tier comedy band? I was like, he's funnier. Okay, well. I'm being petty. But remember that one guy that was saying. I didn't say every fucker.
Remember that one guy that was like calling you a fifth tier comedy band?
I was like, he's funnier than you.
Yeah.
The guy.
I was like.
Fucking loser.
I know.
Fuck these losers, dude.
That one guy called me a bitch with a podcast.
People are such.
What does that even mean?
People hate on success.
It's crazy.
I know.
Like, shouldn't be proud.
People are like.
No.
Working hard and fucking doing it.
They're jelly.
Jealous bitch.
Yeah, fuck you.
All right, have a great day.
It's never women, by the way.
It's never women jealous.
I'm not trying to be some fucking...
It's always some fucking...
I'm not, yeah, I'm not trying to be like, you're safe with me, girls, but I'm just observing the stats.
It is never women.
Yeah, it's always just some dude with a Ford truck that has black rims.
No girl in any picture.
No girl in any picture.
Or guy, whatever.
Or guy.
No friends.
Just him in his car.
Why do you guys like your cars so much?
What's the deal?
I mean, I'm from Indiana, and I don't even like cars that much.
That's the car.
That's like, you have friends that just work on their car.
I think it's cooler if you have a 1980s car that you've kept up and fixed and worked on.
And you went to the dealer and leased it.
I always thought it was so funny when people pimped out
Civics.
Oh, dude, that was a huge thing around my high school.
Oh, my dude. They'd lower it
and fucking raise it to a fucking Honda Civic.
You know, that's Fast and the Furious effect.
Yeah, dude.
That movie ruined society. No, I'm just kidding.
It made everything great.
Oh, hot take. I've never seen a Fast and Furious.
What? They're awesome.
They just look too corny for me.
Well, they are corny, but they're like Roadhouse.
I gotta start watching corny movies.
Yeah, Roadhouse.
I don't know. Maybe what's corny to other people
isn't corny to me. I like romantic comedy
movies. I think everyone agrees
that Fast and Furious movies are corny, but awesome.
Really?
Yeah, I mean, they got cars.
Vin Diesel. Maybe you're related to Vin Diesel.
He's Italian, right? He has to be.
Vin Diesel Fasca.
Vin Diesel Fasca.
I don't think his real name is Vin Diesel.
He's from the diesel region
of Italy in the Alps.
Alright, let's go.
What if we both...
We'll do a whole trip.
We'll go to Scotland or wherever the fuck you guys are from.
Edinburgh, right?
Dundee, bitch.
Let's go there.
What if no one talks?
Everyone looks at Redbeard and just like...
Just dicks.
Just such a dick.
Scottish people are funny as fuck, actually. It's an amazing accent dick Scottish people are funny as fuck actually
Yeah
It's an amazing accent
Scottish people are fucking hilarious
Yeah and their accent is incredible
Irish people are fucking hilarious too
Yeah Scottish and Irish have a lot in common I feel like
Yeah
They're both victims of the British
We should go to Edinburgh
If
Edinburgh
If we
If this podcast blows up
The Fringe Festival
We should do the Fringe Festival
With the pod
I'd be down
Yeah
I'd be down.
I'd look to go there.
All right, guys.
Have a great day.
Motivational Monday or Tuesday.
Get out there.
Suck someone's dick.
Go out there and just fucking suck off this life. Try to get laid.
Get out there and just cum all over this life.
Because if you're not going to do it, someone else is going to do it.
So what do you want to do?
You want to be the bitter person who's not taking life full erection?
Yeah.
Or are you going to get out there and fucking make the most of life?
Yeah.
God, that was like sexual.
Stop posting a car you leased on Instagram too.
Yeah.
Stop posting your fucking Lexus that you're leasing.
We know you leased it, dude.
We know your payment's $800 a month.
Chill out.
Who gives a fuck?
Yeah.
You're just going to wreck it.
You're just going to get in a drunk driving accident.
Yeah.
You're going to get in a drunk driving accident. Yeah, you're going to get
in a drunk driving accident.
You're going to fucking
smear ketamine
all over the seats.
He's probably dealing
with his own addiction issues
and that's why
he's lashing out at you.
Ooh.
That's what...
You said...
I think you said that loud.
Oh, my God.
You're so fucking hot
when you talk therapy talk.
Almost everything
is a projection
when people are being
mean to someone.
I know.
It's so funny how people are just like...
A lot of people who just
rip me online and I'll see them at shows,
I'll be like,
what's up? It's fan behavior.
And they don't say shit. Yeah, because they
hoes, man. Because they're fucking ho mentality.
Why are you at the show then, man?
Or no, I'll see them in Denver at shows.
And they'll just kind of like...
Other people's shows.
And I'll be like, what's up, bro?
Everybody's a tough guy online.
Everyone's a fucking tough guy online.
That's another thing.
People are a lot more brave online than they are in person.
All right, let's get out of here.
Bye.
Be safe out there.
We love you.
Happy birthday, Nick.
Have fun editing this bullshit, Joe.
Yeah, enjoy this one, Joe.
And happy birthday, buddy.
He'd probably like the religion talk, actually.
Happy birthday, buddy.
Yay, I was born.
I am thankful you were born.
Janet.
I'm thankful that I have a friend like you that I could just talk shit.
Janet did most of the work.
Yeah, shout your mom's vagina.
Janet.
Janet.
Thank you.
