I'm really not.
You're not?
Yeah.
I don't know why people are afraid of you.
I don't know.
It's just I don't smile much.
Nick Gerlach's here.
Me and Nick are going to be talking for an hour,
just shooting the shit before we leave for the pigeons playing ping pong,
Andy Frask in the UN, and Dogs in the Pile tour.
On Big What?
Yeah, he's not coming on the tour.
I'm staying at Big What for the weekend
to entertain you.
Yes, he will be there entertaining the people of
North Carolina.
Man, they're working you hard.
Petey Pablo might be there, I heard.
How you doing, Nick? Pretty good, actually.
Oh, man. Ready to roll.
Working my ass off.
Yeah, we know.
We have Instagram. I. Working my ass off. Yeah, we know. We have Instagram.
I'm trying to hide off.
I party a little bit, but not really.
Yeah, just Sunday.
Sunday.
Shouldn't have done that after a three-day bender in LA.
Then you were just dead Monday.
Oh, my God.
He showed up.
I didn't even know you.
I forgot that you guys were going to show up.
This is what happens.
Now that I only get
three days in Denver
and then I have to go back on the road.
But now I'm going on tour for like three weeks.
But this last couple weeks runs
are just been like weekends
and then coming home.
I'm like winding down.
I got to stop going.
I think I have to retire trivia.
Yeah, maybe once every six weeks come out. Maybe once a month, you know. I don't even know. I'm sorry. I think I have to retire trivia. Yeah. Maybe once every six weeks come out.
I mean,
once a month,
you know,
I don't even know if I could do that.
Well,
when you're off the road,
you probably can.
Yeah.
I don't even know if I could do that.
That's fine.
It's not for everybody.
I love you.
And I support you.
I don't care.
It's fine.
There's plenty of fucking people there,
dude.
I'd be nice.
Oh,
just,
I ended up just doing blow and fucking.
Yeah.
You don't have to do that.
You can just have like three drinks.
I know, but you're in Denver.
Everyone does blow here.
I know.
It's really annoying.
It's stupid.
I'm done.
I'm still off nitrous.
Yeah.
Kind of still off blow, I guess.
I don't know.
It's just not that fun.
I don't like the waking,
just being up till five.
You already have anxiety. Why would you pile that on there? I don't know. Can, just being up till five. You already have anxiety.
Why would you pile that on there?
I don't know.
Can't fight fire with fire.
And there's something about me where I just can't choose something.
So I'm like trying to pick a porn video.
My brain's like, just come go to bed.
And I'm just out there just scrolling through thumbnails,
like trying to pick the perfect film while I'm having
anxiety. That natural
Xanax. I don't know, man.
I don't know. I think it's called depression.
Dolov's wedding you were at. That was funny.
That was a blast. Shout out to Dolov Cohen.
Dolov got married.
My best friend. I was more
nervous about that speech than I was
about any gig I've ever done.
Thousands of people I'm not nervous. I was
shaking. That's so weird.
Jeremy Salkin gave me a little
acid before the
wedding. A little spritz.
I think that just
kind of shook my nerves even
more. I was like crying.
It's like Doloff, dude. Doloff's getting married.
The pictures were hilarious. Dude, what'd you say
his wedding was like? Flintstone's pool party wedding.
Jesus Christ.
It looked like a third grade birthday party.
Like an eight-year-old's birthday party,
but like in 1987.
I mean, it was awesome, though.
I mean, I respect it.
Dude, I like low-key weddings like that.
Yeah, yeah, they're better.
Less stiff.
I'm over weddings in general, though.
We had a pool party.
I got to hang out with my friends.
I got into heaven and gotten to hang out and made me miss LA.
La I've been missing LA a lot more.
Really?
I don't know why.
Every time you go there,
you act like it's the worst though,
too.
The first day,
you know,
I'm always texting you the first day I fly.
I'm like,
fuck this shit.
I'm like,
fuck this shit.
Because like,
you know,
I hate traffic.
I mean,
now I'm so used to just getting everywhere so easily in Denver.
People that complain about Denver traffic are kind of wild.
Yeah, they're idiots.
It's like they're probably from Kansas or something.
Yeah.
I mean, it's not as bad as LA or New York or DC.
LA is so fucking bad.
They don't have a public transportation system for no reason.
And that's why I was like laughing.
Like, they're talking about bringing the Olympics to LA.
And like, we're gonna do
a whole public transportation thing.
I'm like, I've lived there my whole life.
Or like when I lived there.
Not once!
Public transportation is the fucking worst in LA.
This is gonna be so...
It's gonna be fucking horrible to get
to all those venues. I wonder how it was in 84.
They had it in 84. I wonder if it was in 84. They had it in 84.
I wonder if it was a mess.
But I don't know.
Traffic probably wasn't as bad either.
I don't know, man.
It's weird how much taxes they charge you there, but they don't have public transportation.
Right.
State taxes are crazy there.
Well, you know, you're living by the beach.
Living by the beach.
Kind of.
The rich people do.
Yeah.
But everything's kind of close to the beach.
Yeah, that's true.
Closer than here. At least 10 or 15 miles. Yeah, it's's kind of close to the beach. Yeah, that's true. Closer than here.
At least 10 or 15 miles.
Yeah, it's not that close here to the beach.
Right.
We're farther from the beach than LA.
I've been liking the mountains a lot.
Yeah?
Hopefully.
They're scary though.
If I get a second house.
Yeah?
I'm going to get one in LA.
I was thinking East Coast, like Cape Cod.
Ew. Why?
I don't know I just like how
Everybody's so mad there
Everyone's mad but like the girls just look normal
They're kind of like boring looking girls
The girls do look normal
They look normal
Yeah they're like regular people
Yeah and they'll talk shit and they'll drink
They're pretty but like they're not like fake titties
They're the hot girls from the town kind of.
Yeah, I like that.
Bunch of Blake Lively's.
Yeah, and they wear sweaters and shit.
They wear like white sweaters.
They're Celtics fans and Patriots fans.
They're the worst.
My least favorite fan base probably.
They are my least favorite fan base too.
That's why I was so stoked that Jason Tatum didn't get any.
It was kind of funny because Jalen Brown did.
Jalen Brown didn't even play.
That's right. I mean, Derek White.
Jalen Brown didn't make the team. He's the NBA
Finals MVP. God, it'd be hard to be a coach
for a fucking Olympic team.
They need a defender.
But that was also like a stick
in... That was Steve Kerr saying,
fuck off.
Yeah, but also, they didn't need it. It made sense
lineup-wise.
Also, I don't know. It's weird
that some Celtic fans were
rooting for France.
Yeah.
No, no.
Some Celtic...
Denver fans were
ripping on America.
For Jokic?
Yeah, that was amazing.
Yeah, he's the best player in the world.
He's just partying, chugging beers, part of
ripping lines. He seems way happier playing
for that team. I think he's going to retire when he's like
32. He hates America. He's going to get
the fuck out of here, go ride his horses.
I assume he's like a
god there, right? He is a god there.
Is he the richest guy in Serbia? Yeah.
Do they have money there?
Probably. They got oil. Do they have money there? Probably.
They got oil.
Do they?
I think so.
I don't think they do.
It's the former Yugoslavia.
I'm going to Google that.
The former Yugoslavia.
I mean, every country has some oil, I guess.
Does Serbia...
Is Serbia rich?
I don't think it is.
They had a major civil war.
Is Serbia...
The World Bank classifies Serbia as a middle-income country.
Middle.
And its economy is transitioning
From being dominated by the state sector
To a market driven model
Right, right, because it broke away from Yugoslavia
So they're kind of a middle
So he's probably rich as fuck
It's like being from Indiana
If it was a country
Yeah, he's rich as fuck there, dude
He's got horses
How was your anniversary?
It wasn't my anniversary.
It was Julie's birthday.
Oh, that's nice of you.
Went up to a cabin, went to Cheyenne for the day.
He texted me, I'm so bored.
It's so boring.
I hate nature, dude.
I can't do it.
So why do you guys, these people that go to the woods for a week, it's like camping is,
first of all, it's kind of scary.
It's so quiet out there.
Yeah, it's so quiet.
It's so fucking quiet out there.
We didn't got a cabin.
We were camping like poor people or anything.
You know what I mean?
Like, come on.
I got an Airbnb.
It's like, I'm not a peasant.
I'm not some fucking loser in a tent.
Okay, calm down.
You live in Denver.
I know.
I'm allowed to have my own opinion on camping.
I mean, they have to agree with me.
I love that we live in Denver and we never go camping.
No, I move here to play gigs.
We never go to the mountains.
We go out here just to fucking rip bars and fucking watch you do trivia.
I turn down gigs in Breckenridge all the time because I don't want to fuck with it going
or Aspen.
Anything past Breckenridge is like more than an hour and a half drive.
I don't know.
It's so scary.
And I don't find it all that peaceful.
I mean, a little bit.
But I kind of like sitting in the middle of the city and just having trucks.
That's what I'm used to.
It's where I've always lived.
I feel much more at home.
Same.
Denzel was scared as shit the first night, too.
Really?
Why?
He's probably just hearing coyotes off in the distance
and shit like that.
He's a city dog.
He's a city boy, dude.
His name's Denzel.
He doesn't have time for that.
What happened with Denzel and a homeless person?
Oh, my God.
There was this crazy, and he was kind of jacked,
so I was a little bit scared.
He was across the street.
I don't know if he was homeless, but he was definitely on meth.
Uh-huh.
So something like that.
He was just doing that thing where he's talking,
you know, like those guys that just kind of talk to themselves.
Right.
And he was talking about, like,
don't fuck, no one can fuck with me,
like definitely like anger shit.
And, of course, Denzel's like staring at him because denzel doesn't have any you know he doesn't know
he's a dog right and he starts yelling at me and denzel and denzel starts puffing up i was like oh
my god am i gonna have to fight this guy because he definitely would have kicked my ass who knows
what he has on him yeah you don't fight strangers but denzel is ready to defend me he's big too and
he'll he knows how to do stuff like if he would jump up and try to knock
the guy over maybe that was one thing that was weird i also yelled at another homeless people
were just fucking really mean mean yeah i think they'd be more chill i walk i was at a 7-eleven
i was like i was just wearing i don't know normal shit laker shirt yeah hideo nomo jerseys yeah and i i was walking because i was
like really thirsty because i was so hung over that yeah after i hung out with the regime management
team which was i'll tell you about that was fucking awesome so i'm like walking to a 7-eleven
to get water from my hotel and he said you look like a gay guy. I'm like, what?
Homeless guys will hit you right where it hurt, man.
It's the most honest.
No disrespect to the gays, but like,
and then he started like ripping on like my Birkenstocks.
He's kind of right.
I mean, I don't know.
Homeless guys are generally pretty good at ripping on people like that.
He's like, you're not from LA.
I'm like, I am from LA.
Bitch, I'm more from LA.
You don't even live here.
You don't even have a home.
Why don't you tell me where I'm from? Why don't you get a home before you tell me where I'm LA. I'm like, I am from LA. Bitch, I'm more from LA. You don't even live here. You don't even have a home. Why don't you tell me where I'm from?
Why don't you get a home before you tell me where I'm from?
Then he asked me for money.
Although I guess living in the city.
I still gave him four cigarettes.
Four cigarettes?
That's like eight bucks in LA.
Yeah.
I was like, what the fuck?
Why are you ripping out on me, man, and then asking me for shit?
Well, are homeless people more from that city?
I'm sorry, man.
I'm sorry.
I'm just tired and lonely.
Okay, but I could have been your friend.
Nope.
You had to call you gay.
We all know how you feel about the gays.
Shut the fuck up.
I'm just kidding.
No, for real, though.
Are homeless people more from...
He was just being a...
He's like, fuck you, gay.
I'm like...
It was more like, why are you being homophobic?
He's on drugs.
What are you talking about?
He's not... It was like 2 p.m.
It might be more from L.A. from you, though.
Living in the streets.
Like, is that making more from that city that you're like living in the streets
and living off the land in L.A.?
You know what I mean?
That's like their camping.
Not some house in Calabasas with a lanai.
Do you think they get scared of silence?
No.
They're very used to the noise.
Oh, yeah.
Yes.
Actually, yes.
The silence is where the thoughts come in for them.
That's so weird.
I don't know, man.
Homeless people, huh?
I was talking to Paul Hoffman today about that.
He likes camping because we're about to do Red Rocks.
September 13th.
Red Rocks Bar and Grill.
Andy Frasco in the UN and Green Sky Bluegrass.
Grab your tickets.
We're playing Saturday. Green Sky's
hosting California Honey Drops
on Friday. Oh, they're great.
They have multiple sax players.
They're good, too. Should be fun!
Wow, man. Julie's
going to be your hospital lady. I love that.
You going to put Denzel on your rider?
Everyone so stresses out.
I was talking to him. Why is everyone so stressed
out about a Red Rocks set
I don't know
They put it on a pedestal I guess
It is a big deal
But it's always a good show
When you stress out about it
You don't play the best show you can
No stress is not good
I remember just being Lucy Goose
To my
I was prepared
We don't trust ourselves
That we deserve to be on that stage Where were we playing I was prepared. We don't trust ourselves that we're fucking
deserved to be on that stage.
Where were we playing?
Northlands. I was so fucking calm,
cool, collective.
I felt like that was my best set because I wasn't
so stressed that I had to prove
a point that I deserved to be there.
Just let the venue
do the work. It sounds great there. They're going to sound great.
It's a bluegrass band.
We're both stressing about it
what that venue is built for is like
that kind of music yeah we're just stressing
about it people are going to like it they paid 80 bucks
I mean or whatever it is
they're going to they want you to do good
you stress when there's a shit ton of people
at trivia you do look yourself in the mirror
no I go fuck they're going to be so annoying they're going to
talk and talk and they're going to ruin all my
jokes that's so funny that's your gig no I go fuck they're gonna be so annoying they're gonna talk and talk and they're gonna ruin all my jokes
that's so funny
that's your gig
I'm so good at it
your gig is being a trivia master
I'm so good at it though
what did Jeopardy say
I haven't heard back yet
sometimes it can take years to hear back I guess
Ken Jennings said it took over a year for him to hear back
after he took the test
I would love for you to be on Jeopardy.
They don't usually allow people that aren't
with personality on there.
There's always nerds on there, though.
Not that different kind of nerd.
You're kind of nerdy.
I am, but a different kind of nerd.
No pussy nerd.
You know what I mean?
Explain it.
Like attracted to women who work at the library kind of nerd. You know what I mean? Like what? Explain it. Like attracted to women
who work at the library
kind of nerd.
Jesus.
They never have good stories,
you know,
and they've never done drugs
or anything cool like that.
They need some drugs.
I need more friends like that.
They should have like
Drunk Jeopardy
where everybody has to have
like a beer every round
or something.
Why don't you do that?
I think I am doing that
at Yacht Club.
That's pretty much
what we're doing.
Yeah.
Number one.
Sure are.
But I don't know.
It's funny.
It is weird.
It happened on accident kind of too.
Really?
Remember I was just like,
I don't even remember how it got started actually.
Me and Benny were talking and I was like,
let me try it.
And then I did.
And it was a smash hit.
It was a smash hit.
Wow. I should take it on the road.
How can I convince my band that I don't have to
stay up till 5 a.m. just because we have a tour bus?
I would just say, hey, we don't have to stay up
till 5 p.m. because we don't have a tour bus.
I told him we got to be accountable.
For what? For our partying.
Oh, when did you say this?
Right before Dola's wedding? Right before I left for Dola's wedding.
Did he have a slip inside?
No, but he had a pool.
That's cool.
Whose house was it at?
My buddy Adam's.
Oh, that's cool.
He writes.
He's a screenwriter.
Oh, that's cool.
Everyone's got money now in my friend group.
What do you write?
Towel digging nights or something? He wrote
a cartoon on
Nickelodeon called Sanjay and
something. And then he wrote like a puppet
show on Comedy Central. Oh, that.
Yeah, I've seen that. Yep.
We're all kind of not puffing our
chest anymore as we're
getting older. Because I've known, we've all
been in the same group text. Yeah.
30 of us. Since we were fucking. 30? There's 30 been in the same group text yeah 30 of us since
we're 30 there's 30 people in the group text how many fights are there never i mean i am so busy
that i can't really like go deep into it but like when i get on a flight i'll start catching up
but all these friends have been going to everybody's events since we were fucking
seventh grade yeah just hating just and we used to just be Puffer Jack.
Puffer Fish.
Is anyone normal?
Everyone became normal.
This was the first time.
Are they all trying to like...
Is there any like just accountants in the group?
There's a couple, two lawyers.
Yeah, okay.
It's not all people trying to be a Hollywood star.
Yeah.
Everyone kind of works in the industry.
This is the first time everyone kind of like...
Reminded me like when we were friends when we were in sixth grade.
Maybe they're getting old.
We are.
I mean, they have money.
Everyone's successful.
There's no...
No one failed?
No one fucking failed.
We have a couple valley heads who have neck tats and fucking...
Thank God.
You got to have a couple losers.
Work like an electrician.
No shade to electricians.
We need electricians.
They're the most fun to party with.
They're still like fucking raging drug addicts.
Hell yeah.
I mean, neck tattoo.
Is there like a neck tattoo guy
that's like never smoked weed or
cocaine even?
I bet everyone with a neck tattoo.
I'd like to see the cross,
like the Venn diagram of people with neck tattoos and people with done cocaine at least once. If it's red and blue, I bet it's just a neck tattoo. No. I bet everyone. I'd like to see the cross, like the Venn diagram of people with neck tattoos
and people with Dunko King at least once.
I bet it's just,
if it's red and blue,
I bet it's just a purple circle.
Just purple.
That's so fucking funny.
Would you get a neck tattoo?
Would I get a no?
Absolutely no.
What if someone paid you $3 million?
No way.
I'm not a neck tattoo type of guy.
I don't think people would even be able to see it.
I like the Justin Bieber neck tattoo, though.
What does he have, blessed or something?
He's got like one small...
He's like super religious.
He's got thin ink.
Those celebrities, they get into that weird Hillsong church sometimes.
I think he was one of those guys.
What, like Colty?
Blessed.
Yeah, it's like the big mega church Christian guy.
Oh, really?
He kind of looks like a dude who would love Christ. Yeah, I think he is. I think that's literally what he is. Well like culty? Blessed Yeah it's like the big mega church Christian guy Oh really?
He kind of looks like a dude who would love Christ Yeah I think he is
I think that's literally what he is
I think he's having a kid
I still don't understand how people still
With all this shit going on
They still believe in religion
I had something to do I guess
I don't know man
It's just easier that way for some people
Yeah
They have a bunch of rules
So their daughter doesn't go anywhere
Mostly about control A lot of it's about controlling women just easier that way for some people. They have a bunch of rules so their daughter doesn't go anywhere.
Mostly about control.
A lot of it's about controlling women.
I like the idea of religion.
I like the idea of being a good person.
Yeah, in that religion?
No. Religion's like an organization built around a...
The principles of who you're praying
for is a guy who's a good
person or a Buddha who's a good person or like a Buddha who's a good person.
Maybe in your religion, not my religion.
What's your religion?
I don't know.
Satan?
I worship no one myself.
I've met a couple Satanists.
Yeah, whatever.
I mean, they think they're so edgy and cool, but it's like you were just...
I think they're full of shit when they say they're Satanists.
Well, the thing about that is like they'll also be like God isn't real, but like you have to believe God's real if you think Satan's real.
God made Satan, you dumb fuck.'s in the bible yeah i don't know man old testament dude i get andy ollie gets so crazy when oh yeah people come around him like having
like devil tattoos on them and shit catholics are scared of the devil trust i don't trust it
i don't trust them i'm like respect catholics i mean mexican mexican catholics are scared of the devil trust i don't trust it i don't trust them i'm like respect
catholics i mean mexican mexican catholics are are wild but yeah some of them are goth too i like
that yeah i do too you know like the goth sort of like that mexican style of art where it's like
going to goth and like that shit's fire actually but yeah he's pretty scared of the devil huh
he's scared of the devil not real guys it's just like i'm not scared of the devil, huh? Yeah, scared of the devil. It's not real, guys. It's just... I'm not scared of Voldemort either.
I wonder what happens after you die.
What do you think, guys?
Probably nothing.
It's probably a huge letdown like every single thing else in your life.
I doubt it's amazing.
I don't know.
You just turn off.
Yeah.
Like a computer.
I kind of like that.
Sounds fine.
I'm like... I don't like to think about what happens
after you die because I'm never going to
guess. I'm never going to know.
I like the idea that we're energy.
Yeah, we probably are to some degree.
I don't know.
Who did I talk to about? I never touched a dead
body. They had to go to an open
casket. Oh, J.J.
Gray.
He had to go to an open casket oh jj gray yeah that's the casket yeah and he said there was nothing in there there was nothing in it it was like kind of like the p it felt like a piece
of paper or something yeah i don't know i don't i don't know man that's got to be energy maybe
get ring i was thinking hopefully like what if you get why does black holes exist what if you
get reincarnated over and over and you live the same life i've always had this thought for like a book or a movie you get reincarnated over and over and you live the same life? I've always had this thought for like a book or a movie.
You get reincarnated over and over in this exact same life.
You're born in the exact same thing.
And the people that are successful are the ones that have repeated the most times.
So they like, and you don't remember everything,
but you have like sort of maybe a vague recollection
or it just gives you better instincts the more times you've done it.
So like the really, like let's say Jeff Bezos.
He might be on like his 3,000th life. That's why he keeps making
good decisions like that. And the people who make
bad decisions are on their third life.
Yeah, I think about that when I'm on
a five-day bender.
What?
I think that'd be a cool movie idea, though.
It's like, I have these ideas
of my past life.
Or these visions of my past life
when I'm on a five- day bender and people are like,
yep,
that's how he died.
You know what we should do
for our,
for the pod?
We should,
they have like people
that do past life readings
on you.
Oh,
we should get someone on there.
We should have him.
What were you?
What do you think you were?
I don't know.
Probably something sick though.
Probably like,
probably like a Marine guy.
Yeah.
Dwight Eisenhower.
Dwight.
And then you reincarnate
to Nick Gerlach,
co-host podcast star
I wonder that'd be cool though
Maybe I mean you were definitely a girl
Oh man
You were definitely a girl every time until this time
I jinxed the Catherine thing
Already?
It's over
What happened? You didn't tell me about this
It's over
When did that happen?
A couple days ago
She dumped you?
She said...
Should we talk about this?
Fuck it, let's talk about it.
You can cut it out.
I mean, she doesn't really fucking listen to the talk.
If you change your mind, you can cut it out.
I don't understand women when...
End of sentence.
They want you to be communicative,
but they don't ask questions for you to continue the question.
We just have to ask them
about everything
that's going on with them.
And then they get pissed
when it's always just one-sided conversations.
And then they're like...
I wonder if men do this to women.
And then I call her out on this.
I'm like, you know, we're just talking about
your career. And then I felt
bad saying that because
we both live for our
careers. Yeah.
Sort of a lot of people, but
yes. And that's like kind of all I have
is my career. I don't have a hobby.
I mean, I've just basically
everything I do is revolved
around entertaining people.
Start doing the crossword.
I've been doing that.
It's kind of relaxing.
Yeah, I want to do that.
Just get on the crossword, man.
I do want to try camping, but I'm like you.
I'm like, I don't give.
That's not fun.
I don't get it.
Why are we going back?
I'm going to fucking do a tent, make a tent,
and then eat some shitty food.
I'm not good at it.
That I don't know how to cook.
I don't even know how to cook.
I'm just going to be eating some bullshit fucking processed food.
Spend $900 on camping gear you're going to use twice.
You don't even know how to set it up.
I got to use a fucking roast stick.
Oh, wait. Maybe camping doesn't suck.
Maybe we suck.
We might suck.
I told someone the other day, I was like,
I've never made an egg, and they lost their mind.
Yeah.
Who are you texting?
John from Little Stranger.
John from Little Stranger.
I'm trying to get him on the pod so we can talk about the stick figure tour.
Oh, yeah.
I'm curious about that.
What do you mean?
He just automatically should do it.
Well, he's on another podcast right now.
This second?
Yeah.
Oh.
Why would he do another podcast?
That's bullshit.
I'm just kidding.
Everyone just forgets about us. Wants to get famous. They go camping. All just kidding. Everyone just, you know, forgets about us.
Wants to get famous.
They go camping.
All our friends.
They go camping.
All our friends forget about us.
Except Salkin.
Salkin.
Oh, my God.
You're going to love this.
Mm-hmm.
The last.
I mean, I would kick with Salkin.
I love Salkin.
Yeah, you man.
But I've been getting like, I've been getting like recognized like crazy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I noticed that
A lot a lot
More than ever

From the podcast
A little bit
Yeah
Anyway

And I guess
Salkin was with me Brian Brianne, and his sister.
Yeah, yeah.
He screams, I've only sold out Red Rocks 15 times.
Was he joking?
I don't know.
It seemed kind of serious.
I don't know.
There's always a little truth to sarcasm.
I'm like, bro.
And then I had to like sidebar.
I'm like, bro, you mad that I'm a.
You have a Tesla and like four houses.
I mean, yeah, you're way more successful than me.
Yeah.
Tesla and 500 houses.
And he's about to be a tech bro.
We'll see.
He just got funding to do this company.
Oh, no.
He's really good.
Yeah, he's good.
He's so good at business.
I wish I was...
I was like, damn.
Sisters don't care though.
Your boy's popping.
Yeah, but sisters don't give a shit.
What? Sisters don't really care. I know. Your sisters don't care though your boy's popping yeah but sisters don't give a shit what?
sisters don't really care I know
your sisters don't care about your career
my sister
my sisters
I talk to my sister twice a year
you know what I mean
yeah
like whatever
she's an adult
we don't talk about
I felt
I felt awesome
but then I felt bad
I don't know man
that's a tough one
but then I got
then it's hard
because then
I got he has to put hard because then I got...
He has to put it
in perspective, though.
Like, you're the guy
in your band.
Yeah.
Well, I also felt that
because I found out
that some of my friends' bands
that we've been, like,
getting bigger than them.
We just found out
that they're higher
on the festival billing.
Oh, like a recent... That's not like a recent that's not out yet it's
not out who is it well they don't know like they're not talking shit just say it we'll bleep it out i
want to know so oh yeah it's hard to fight i feel i'm jealousy just gotta remember stupid like i
gotta like realize like this is stupid that i'm jealous about this. Most people would want to rather be you.
So you're fine.
Most people would rather be you than themselves career-wise right now.
Like other musicians.
You're in the top 10% probably of all musicians, right?
Uh-huh.
So you're jealous of less people than people are jealous of you,
which is a good ratio.
I thought you get to this point and then jealousy stops, but it doesn't.
No, probably gets worse. Jealousy never stops.
It's worse, actually.
At least you're jealous of successful people now.
You used to be jealous of losers
that were still doing better than you.
You're finally jealous of successful people.
That's how successful you are.
You got so successful that the only people you're jealous of...
I literally do not care.
I don't know why it just irked me.
I don't know. I just irked me. I don't know.
I'm happy for my boys.
I'm happy for Donat.
I'm happy for Little Stranger.
I don't know why...
Those guys are ballpark.
I mean, it's not like crazy.
I know, but I was just like...
It just made me feel like, oh, am I falling down?
No, they're just going up.
Even though Little Stranger did ride your coattails.
You can remind them.
We can remind them we can remind
them when we talk to them they wrote it right to the right i'm happy with them they're blowing the
fuck up yeah that was fun at red rocks i like their show yeah why is it is it human nature
just to like judge yourself that's why i gotta get off i've been unfollowing everyone human nature
i told my manager to unfollow everyone on Instagram and Facebook. Just me.
Just you. What if the only person you
followed was me?
I've been getting backlash by
How do people see that you
unfollowed them?
They check your shit and they're weird.
God, people are so weird.
I've got some cousins who are like
can't believe you unfollowed me
and then unfollowed me and then unfollowed me
and then blocked me.
And then I had some band members.
Were you ever on MySpace?
I think MySpace had a thing
where it would tell you
when you got unfriended by someone.
I don't know.
And they had top eight.
I'm not doing it on purpose.
I'm not picking people to unfollow.
I'm literally trying to unfollow everyone.
But Instagram doesn't make it easy for people to unfollow. I'm literally trying to unfollow everyone, but Instagram doesn't make it easy for you to unfollow.
You can only unfollow 200 people at a time.
Why isn't there just a button where it's like unfollow everybody?
What am I going to watch?
I don't want to watch dudes on Instagram.
Yeah, me neither.
Yeah, you do.
You do definitely want to watch dudes.
You want to watch jack dudes get jacked.
No, I don't.
Motivation Monday. i follow a lot of
nutritionist girls no you don't i don't follow porn stars no they're still hot i don't follow
i don't don't follow that many hot girls how many only fans do you subscribe to i only subscribe to
two in my shout out to pete my business manager he He said, Andy, you're spending $100 a month on OnlyFans.
It's not that bad.
It was two people.
$50 a month for each person.
How much are these people making?
They're making bank.
It must be embarrassing if you're on OnlyFans
and you're still poor.
Well.
You waste things on way worse things
than OnlyFans.
That's the ethical porn.
I've been making money this year, so I was like... I've been spending a lot of money.
$1,200 a year on porn.
But, um...
I buy a lot of clothes.
It's the most ethical version of porn, OnlyFans.
Buying watches and shit.
Yeah, getting your watch stolen.
Got my watch stolen. I can't believe it.
It's bullshit. Are you gonna sun dogs in a pile on this tour? Make them your bitch? Yeah, getting your watch stolen. Got my watch stolen. I can't believe that. Bullshit.
Are you going to sun dogs in a pile on this tour?
Make them your bitch?
No.
They're cool dudes.
I'm going to be very curious how this tour,
because we all took time off.
We all did our little headlines tours.
I wonder how the camaraderie is going to be when we come back.
It'll be fine, probably.
They're all scared of you.
No, they're not.
I love this tour.
It's a fun tour.
You don't have to go last.
Oh, yeah.
I'm going to try to go to bed early.
Every night?
I'm going to try.
What do you mean, try?
Instead of staying up with the band until 6 a.m.
Talking about fucking the same shit.
Talking about fucking the same shit.
How do these people have the same conversation every day of their lives?
It's just like.
Have you ever just sat.
Because we've known each other for 15 years.
I know, but have you ever just sat in solitude and had a nice two-hour think sesh?
It's amazing.
Yeah.
Maybe they don't have any thoughts in their head.
I'm just kidding.
Am I supposed to be alone my whole life?
I'm feeling like I should be.
It's not a bad...
I'm not saying I'm depressed.
It's like I'm depressed.
It's like I'm depressed.

It's like I'm depressed.
It's like I'm depressed. getting laid, then intimacy is second. No, I just like, I like having watching movies with someone, you know?
Yeah. But like,
maybe I'm just destined to just kind of just do
the lone wolf thing.
Yeah, but it's like first you're watching movies
with someone, next thing you know you have to hear about their day.
Jesus Christ.
Sounds awesome.
Yeah. Like I'd rather hear about someone's day
than... Yeah. Have you hear about someone's day Than
Yeah
Have you heard about someone's day
37 days in a row?
You think you're going to have a lot of fans
Are you going to have a lot of fans
On your tour?
Like hook up with fans?
No just
Are there a lot of Andy Frasco fans there?
Or is it sort of spread out?
I mean Me and Pigeons have a big draw.
Dogs are starting to bring a big crowd for them.
Everyone's showing up early for dogs.
You sign in a lot of merch.
Yeah, we got the VIP going.
What's the VIP get you?
We make bank on the VIP.
What is it though?
Just get a picture and a poster signed.
And you sign it?
And a Frisbee.
A Frisbee? And we have like a mean
greet before the show and they get to watch Soundcheck.
You should give away a camping trip with you.
I've never done VIP before.
Yeah? Because I was always like, yeah,
you could just hang out with me at the bar after the show.
I'm always at the nearest bar after the show.
Did you see when Chaperone screamed at all
those people in the VIP at Outside Lands the other day?
Yeah, what's the deal? What happened?
Okay, so this is a different thing than the other thing.
She was at Outside Lands
or maybe another festival and they had the VIP
up front, like the VIP people,
and they weren't doing the how to go dance.
And she was like, you guys are fucking boring.
And then her band's playing and she goes,
you're not fun!
It was so awesome, dude.
I love her.
Now she's getting stalked.
I know. See, that type of fame.
I have a couple people who have my number
that kind of hit me up saying like,
oh, I'm only a block away from your house.
Dude, she said that people are
finding out where her parents live,
finding out where her sister works,
yelling at her out of car vehicles,
screaming at her.
There's no privacy anymore.
I know.
Here's the most fucked up thing.
I hate this.
It's like people in the comments are like,
if you didn't want this,
you shouldn't have tried to become famous.
Well, it's like, that's bullshit.
That's like blaming a victim.
Yeah.
And it's not like she's never signing autographs.
First of all,
she is the most talented new pop artist.
It's really not that close.
There's her, Olivia Rodrigo, Charlie XCX,
Sabrina. I like Sabrina a lot, too. But the point is, she's not new,
though. She's like 35, isn't she? Anyway.
Are you ripping on 35 years?
She's younger than me. I'm just saying. Am I old? She's not you. She has eight Grammys and shit.
She's like, you know, she's like a millennial.
There's no privacy.
There's no privacy.
And it's like, I just can't stand the people that are like,
you signed up for this.
First of all, no, she didn't because she uses a fake name,
wears makeup.
Jesus.
It's like Lady Gaga or something where it's like a whole different thing. So it's like, maybe they should have a rule.
Like, if she doesn't have her makeup on, what's her real name kaylee i don't know
it's either kaylee i think it's kaylee uh there should be a rule that like you don't talk to
kaylee you only talk to chaperone right but the people who like are blaming her for it's like do
you blame like a woman when she gets sexually assaulted too like that's like the same argument
that's like the exact same argument as being like, you shouldn't have been wearing that.
This is the problem with America.
People take celebrity way too
obsessive.
It's us and England, I think, are the worst.
Europe's not like that.
The British are, kind of.
They're different than the rest of Europe.
They don't give a shit.
They're like, whatever, come drink with us.
They'll bow at you
from afar and then
leave you alone. You think it's because they have
healthcare or what? Mental healthcare?
I just
don't think they obsess about
celebrity
like we do. We are
a dream country.
We think about the big dreams,
the big blah, blah, blah.
It's like in brain,
it's like in brain,
what is it?
Yeah, something.
Ingrained.
Ingrained, yeah.
It's ingrained in our culture
to always be bigger
and more successful.
This is the demise of our country.
It's the boomer's fault
for telling us we could be anything.
It's even past that.
It's the American dream
when George Washington was there.
Yeah, but they, yeah. But people back, people had more tempered expectations, I think, until like 1975.
Like people in the 30s, there wasn't like a bunch of people.
Look at the Beatles.
Yeah, okay, the 60s.
Fine.
The 60s is fine.
Like when the boomers were teenagers.
Look at Presley.
Elvis Presley.
That was the 60s.
Okay.
With Marilyn Monroe.
60s.
Maybe late 50s. Okay. With Marilyn Monroe. 60s. Maybe late 50s.
Hitler.
Anything pre-World War II, no one gave a shit.
Yeah, he got pretty famous.
He got real famous.
He got real famous.
Yeah, but that's kind of the point.
Anything before the 50s, World War II era,
was people just trying to survive.
Yeah, that's true.
They were just camping.
That was their life, was camping.
And we're like,
I don't want to do this.
This sucks.
Literally,
all our ancestors
would have dreamed
to have the cabin
that I got for an Airbnb.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, they were all just camping.
I don't understand
why people give a shit
so much about celebrities.
But I guess regular people
get stalked too.
That's weird.
You had a stalker.
I had a stalker.
I had a really bad stalker once.
Yeah? No.
Our podcast producer
Joe had a stalker.
They finally took him to jail.
He was stalking his wife.
How do they
know each other? They went to work
together. Oh, he
worked with his wife or with Joe? With his wife.
It got so bad they got him into jail?
Yeah.
He was talking about just loading his gun up and killing Joe
so they could be there forever and shit.
That's not a great way to get a girlfriend.
No.
Hop on Tinder, bro.
There's always weird, lonely, scared men out there.
I don't know.
It's Andrew Tate's fault.
No, I'm just kidding.
I don't know. I don't know anything
about him. I officially stopped reading
comments and I'm so much happier.
Oh my God, your comments. It's like there'll be
eight of the nicest people you've ever seen in your life and then just
a demon. Just a fucking
demon calling you a garbage person.
Piece of shit. Terrible show.
What is this bullshit?
I'm like, get over yourself.
Yeah, fandom is...
I don't really understand fandom.
Especially in the Jam Band scene.
It's like the most toxic fandom by far, you know?
Well, we think it's toxic, our fandom.
Then you look at Chapel Row.
Yeah, but that's...
I think that's more big than it's toxic.
You can just get that many fans.
What's so toxic about the Jam scene?
The way they just are so mean.
I think they're meaner.
Yeah, they're meaner.
I don't think those her stalkers are like mean
I'm not saying they're not toxic
it's a different kind of toxic
I guess but
there's some fucking mean people
ripping on chap
that's fair but like
in the jam band scene
it's like these people
aren't even that famous
and you're just ripping on them
like they're losers
I don't know
it's so weird
those armchair quarterback guys
fucking
get a fucking life
mmhmm
I mean like
Why are there so few people with lives
What happened
People used to have lives
People used to have hobbies
People used to do the crossword
People used to work on their car
You know what I mean
Everybody's just looking at other people now on their phone
Yeah they're distracted
They're brainwashed
24 hour news
This whole election is going to be pretty wild.
God, I can't wait for this to be over.
What a world where now presidents are on the Theo Vaughn podcast.
Presidents are like celebrities now.
Yeah.
I mean, they're trying to be comedians almost.
Like the way they're riffing on each other, it's like a roast battle now.
I don't.
Yeah.
We used to have like debates in like the 80s were like about policy and shit. Now's just like he he thinks he has a bigger crowd than me no he doesn't and she thinks
she has a bigger crowd you know what i mean i mean they just call each other pedophile all day about
every little fucking thing they do like there can't be that many pedophiles just because some
guy shook a kid's hand on a picture people also that's another thing people do is like they see a
picture of a guy doing something and they assume that's their entire life at all times and you know the manipulation of ai like people are just like it's just getting better and better
or people don't know if someone's actually saying oh my god yeah boomers like the state push
state of marshmallow means real assault in the picture like boomers cannot detect ai they can't
rotate a pdf and they can't detect ai dude i feel horrible feel horrible for boomers. I don't. They had it all.
I feel horrible for older people.
Why would you feel bad for boomers?
I just feel horrible for older people.
They've had the easiest run in the history of America.
And they fumbled.
What do you mean?
They fumbled.
What do you mean they're the easiest?
They were born in the time of economic prosperity.
They were the best time in America to grow up, basically.
And they fumbled the bag.
And they won't sell
their fucking houses
and they won't fucking retire.
Retire!
And here's what sucks.
It's like they're all
going to live a long time
because watch,
medicine's going to get
really good in the next 10 years
and they're going to spend
all their fucking money
and it's going to go
in the healthcare system
instead of their kids
or whatever.
Right.
It's bullshit.
Scary.
We might have to start putting a cap on how long people can live.
Jesus fucking Christ.
People might start living too long.
What if people start living to be 150 years old?
That's going to destroy the economy.
Well, people are living to 150, but also...
120 now.
They're not reproducing.
Well, Americans.
I think white people are done. The worst is South Korea has a terrible birth... 120 now. They're not reproducing. Well, Americans. I think white people are done.
The worst is South Korea has a terrible birth rate right now.
It's like 0.8.
Why?
You want 1.8 per woman.
Why do you think we're becoming...
It's like handmaid's tale.
Why do you think we're becoming sterile?
I think it's cultural.
I think we're getting less religious, which helps.
I think that we're comfortable in our lives
and we don't want to interrupt things.
The rise of dogs has to be part of it.
You blame our phones.
Why would I want a kid? Being close to our dicks.
No, because I don't think it's because people can't get
people pregnant. I think they're just not.
A lot of people don't want their child. Because of Ford.
They can't afford it. Like J.D. Vance said, they're childless
cat ladies.
Also, it's getting expensive. He said they're childless
cat ladies?
He said that childless... Well, first of all, he wants...
What a psychopath.
He wants parents to get more votes for having kids.
Yeah, which is fascism, basically.
And he wants...
He called Democrats run by childless cats.
We need to blow up this whole fucking thing.
He's...
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
I know what you mean, but let's reword that.
But I don't know.
I don't get it.
We need to have a revolution.
Yeah, people say this every fucking election,
and we're never going to do it.
I'm so sick of this.
Things need to change.
It starts now.
It's not going to start now.
And I'm so sick of people saying every election
is the most important election.
It isn't.
It's not.
Abraham Lincoln.
Why is that the most important? The Civil War is pretty important. Yeah. Yeah. But we Abraham Lincoln. That's the most important.
Civil War was pretty important.
We're kind of in a Civil War now.
FDR. No, we're not. We're not close to that.
People are stupid. Really?
We're not going to get this fucking Civil War over
who can go in what bathroom.
You're right.
Slavery was the last one.
JFK was pretty important.
That was a pretty important election.
FDR. You know what I mean?
I don't know.
Oh, man.
I'm even past being
scared. I just don't care anymore.
That's a pretty healthy way.
I mean, people that like...
I care in a way. I watched
the entire Republican... It's just rich people
fighting against rich people.
And they're using us as pawns. I care in a way that's a little bit entertaining but i'm not watching any of
the democratic national convention but i watched the whole republican one way more fun maybe i
should start doing nitrous again sure just totally just brain dead myself they should do a debate on so um the other day i saw some video the other day donald donald keep going you're doing a bit go
you want to improvise
donald doesn't you exist underwear you exist in the context in which you are.
It reminds me of like.
I kind of like Tim.
Tim Waltz.
He's fun.
I like him.
My parents hate him.
I think my parents are Trumpers.
That's their right.
That's an American.
Yeah.
He seems all right.
Who knows?
He probably has a bunch of policies that suck.
Everybody does though.
So who cares?
I mean.
You're never going to agree with. Everybody wants this who cares? You're never going to agree with...
Everybody wants this perfect president. You're never going to get that.
The country's too big.
There's just too many different kinds of people here.
Let's play a game. If jam band
artists could be president,
who would be a good president?
I don't know.
Nick McDaniels?
Nick McDaniels would be a good president.
He's pretty good at presiding over things.
You need someone that's good- looking and not too divisive.
Yeah.
Not Jeremy Salkin.
No Jewish people.
Can't have a Jewish president.
You think I could run?
No.
You're too divisive.
You'd be a better like...
VP?
Yeah, something.
I don't know.
Maybe nothing.
Maybe not.
What about like a Billy Strings?
He's too simple. And I mean that in a kind of compliment way i don't you know what i mean yeah when people say simple
people take that as a insult boom i got one john barber uh yeah he might be oh magner might be
better than him but he's short yeah you can't have a short present has to be at least six feet tall
i refuse to have to short president. That's embarrassing.
God, this is a hard one.
What about Homie? What about Homie?
I like this one.
The lead singer of Wiseprint Panic.
What's his name? JB?
I don't know enough about him.
Jimmy Carter, he's sort of a Georgia. But he could rip golf.
He could have a nice polo on.
He's from Georgia. It's like a Jimmy Carter type energy. He's sort of a Georgia. But he could rip golf. He could have a nice polo on. He's from Georgia. It's like a Jimmy Carter type
energy. He's old
enough.
What about Paul Cawthon?
I don't know him well enough.
Cawthon Frasco would be amazing.
That tweet he has has been going viral
about the dinner
for two. He took some girl out
and it was 400 bucks because he got a bag of cocaine
too or whatever. Wasn't that in the tweet of that?
No. It's like inflation's getting out of control.
It's like I got two drinks and
a bag of cocaine and it was $400
or something like that. I've seen people stealing it
and putting their name on it. That's when you know you have a crushing
tweet. That's awesome.
Who wants to be a good president?
I think a woman president would be good
for America. We'll see.
God, Joe's going to hate this all politics.
I don't like that.
Who cares?
I don't like that her husband's name is Doug.
Why?
You don't like Dougs?
Sorry, it'll be the worst name.
Who's a famous Doug?
Who else would be a good president in the music industry?
Maybe someone who's like Don Strasberg?
No.
What about John Mayer?
Yeah, he's hot. He's tall. Hot, tall. Everybody kind of likes him. He's not too like Don Strasberg. No. What about John Mayer? Yeah, he's hot.
He's tall.
Hot, tall.
Everybody kind of likes him.
He's not too divisive.
He's pretty funny.
Good speaker.
He can get the wooks
and he can get the cougars.
I was kind of thinking
about him earlier.
I think he'd be a good choice.
Huge head.
He's got a big head.
Not like metaphorically,
but he's got a
hunker of a head.
Like a tootsie pop.
Maybe metaphorically, which I would... I mean, why wouldn't you if you were him?
I mean, he has fucked everything.
I would be obsessed with myself.
And he's like, he could play everything.
I mean, he's fucking talented.
He's actually talented, which helps.
He can write in these schools.
What about Margo Price?
President Price would be good.
The Price is Right could be her slogan during the campaign.
She's cool, though. I like her. I be her slogan during the campaign. She's cool though.
I like her.
Yeah.
I like her demeanor.
What about,
anyone in Humphreys?
No,
think about women.
Oh,
what about Rachel Price,
Lake Street Dive?
Oh yeah,
she's kind of,
nerdy.
She's not Canadian.
But cool.
She's like New Yorker.
Okay,
okay.
Maybe Canadian.
For some reason,
I thought they were,
she's got like a little bit of like,
she's got swag,
but she's also kind of nerdy
I don't know if she's forceful enough though
She might be too demure and mindful
What about
El King
That'd be party time
I would love El King as my president
And then Rob Schneider would be the father of the president
Rob Schneider would be the father of the president
It'd be like one of his movies
Where he turns into something.
Yeah, I don't know.
Fandom's weird.
Fandom is weird.
It's seeping into politics too.
It's weird.
I know.
I mean, it was about time
because politics are basically
who's the most popular.
That's what it is.
They're just taking it into...
It's just student council with more people
Yeah
Remember the student council kids in your high school
Oh yeah
The dorks
They were nerdy
Yeah
But I liked them
Yeah they're cool
I'm gonna put more things in the lunchroom
Right
We put condoms in the vending machine this year
We're gonna put
We're gonna talk about protected sex
We're gonna burn down the fucking school.
Coca-Cola nutrition.
Yeah.
Then they do nothing.
They do nothing.
Kind of like real politics, actually.
It's so funny.
We get all hyped up
and then they actually don't do anything.
Yeah, just every time.
We're just bored.
Going back, I think that's what it is.
Everyone's just fucking bored
Yeah people are bored
Which is weird
Because they have more access
To more entertainment
And things
Than ever before
I know
And less
Like
Risk
You know who's
Turned the corner on me
Caleb Williams
Caleb Williams
From the Chicago Bears
Yeah I know who he is
The quarterback
I'm familiar with Caleb Williams
But our fan base doesn't.
What do you mean? Our fan base doesn't
know who Caleb Williams is. Oh, that's true. I forgot.
I forgot that we're talking to 10,000 people right now.
Caleb Williams is a quarterback
for the Bears. He's the new rookie, and people don't
like him because he paints his nails. Jesus
fucking Christ. I'm just kidding. I'm kidding.
He does come off arrogant,
but then you realize he's not arrogant. He's just super
confident, and he's also really good
So it's like
Kind of needs someone like that to lead the ship
I wouldn't mind having him on the Browns
Yeah
You got a fucking
Someone who beats women
Nope
Something else
What else did he do?
I don't know exactly what he did
It wasn't any hitting though
I don't know
I don't want to give in to that
Why are people such fucking dickheads?
About what? In general?
Just like
people who are mean, people who are bullies,
people who fucking
hit people.
All that shit. What's going on
in your head that makes you an asshole?
I don't know.
I'm not an asshole, so I don't really know how to do that.
I don't hit women anymore.
Stopped. I quit. I'm not an asshole, so I don't really know how to do that. I don't hit women anymore. Stopped.
I'm two years clean.
Jesus fucking Christ.
I'm just kidding.
No.
Good guys finish last.
Nice guys finish last.
I know they don't, do they?
You think so?
Yeah.
Kobe Bryant? Oh, no.
Look at Eggie. LeBron James is a nice guy, and he's doing? Oh, no. Look at Eggie.
LeBron James is a nice guy, and he's doing pretty well.
Look at the band Eggie.
They're nice guys.
They're finishing.
They're doing good, actually.
Who are some nice guys that are finishing first?
LeBron.
LeBron.
That's it.
That's it.
LeBron James.
Who else?
Everyone else is kind of mean.
There's another one.
Billy.
Billy's nice.
Yeah, Billy Strings is a friendly gentleman.
He's a friendly gentleman.
Eggie's doing really well and they're sweet people.
Are they sweet?
Eggie's sweet.
Okay.
I just had a nice conversation with Jake.
That's the main guy?
He wants to write songs together.
Tell him you're busy.
I like him.
I like that band.
I wish...
That one video they made was really corny though. You know what I'm talking about? The dancing one. That was pretty funny. I didn't see it. I like that band. I wish... That one video they made was really corny, though.
You know what I'm talking about?
The dancing one?
That's pretty funny.
I didn't see it.
I don't know.
It just wasn't for me, I guess.
It's kind of like when you have to pick a side,
because dogs and eggy have a competitive nature.
Maybe you don't have to pick a side.
I think they have the same management.
What an inside job this business is.
Yeah, everything is such an inside fucking job.
It's a boys club, dude.
If you don't have one of these three managers,
you're not working.
That's why I'm working really hard
to try to...
All my openers are going to be women.
Ooh, I like that.
For our next tour.
I've already confirmed two bands.
Yeah?
Yeah.
For the winner?
For the album release headline tour I'm about to announce
In February
I want to have all openers
Women
Women don't get enough
Fucking women in this scene
Don't get enough fucking gigs
And it's bullshit
And they're fucking badass
Women are dope That goes back to like
why i follow more women because i like women more than men uh yeah i like them about the same
there's a bunch of asshole men there's a bunch of asshole women i don't know at least women are
honest are they actually i mean they're people i don't think one gender is more honest than the other, honestly.
True.
I think it's just a person-by-person thing.
They are more maybe sensitive.
I could talk to a girl.
You can talk to a girl.
Good sentence.
I could talk to a girl.
I could talk to a girl.
You can talk to dudes.
I've seen you jawed up with plenty of dudes.
I've seen you had a lot of dude conversations in a lot of bars.
That's a lot of alcohol and cocaine.
Andy!
Andy!
I'm not in a bathroom with a girl doing cocaine.
Talking about the light bulbs.
Sounds nice, though.
We're out there talking about what was on Bravo.
The economic state of the world right now.
Bravo.
Are you a Vanderpump guy?
No, but I almost went into the bar.
What?
Sir?
I almost went to the Vanderpump bar in Vegas.
Oh, that.
I didn't go in.
Julie's obsessed with Vanderpump.
I think that...
I mean, this just reminds me of LA and the LA I ran away from.
It's like all these untalented people trying to be famous,
but they don't have any talent.
It's like their talent is like
that they're famous.
It's like a vortex of

Oh.
That'd been great.
Just a racist ass.
Is he racist?
Two racist people.
Jeff Bezos a racist guy?
I don't know.
But if he wants the Celtics, he's probably kind of racist.
It's kind of hard to be a billionaire without being a little bit racist.
I mean, you know what I mean?
When did Elon Musk start going off the deep end?
Two, three years ago, I feel like.
Kooky.
He's doing some kooky shit.
Is he smart?
Is he a genius?
I think he is, but he's doing some kooky shit.
Do geniuses need to constantly...
Did he name his kids 16?
I think that was just so people didn't find out the kid's real name for stalker purposes.
Is he a genius or just tell everyone he's a genius?
I got in a huge... I remember, you know, or just tell everyone he's a genius i got a huge
i remember you know my private club that's a good point like are you a genius if you have to
tell everyone you're a genius yeah but like uh that private club where i do it there's a guy
that was obsessed with elon musk i actually we sort of got in a weird argument after the
trivia and he was getting you know how i like to rile people up in their skin he was getting
heated about elon musk with me like really he He's going to save the world. He's going to save humanity.
I'm like, chill, dude.
Yeah.
He's not going to save humanity.
He owns Twitter.
He bought a fucking company that loses a billion dollars a year.
He bought Twitter and turned it into a one.
It's not like two conversations.
It's just one conversation.
That's not saving the
world that's not having dialogue to help you understand each other you're just putting
you're putting one voice up on a pedestal that cyber truck is terrible looking huh god it's
ugly i just saw it like a lego it's ugly you see that aiden ross streamer guy gave donald trump a
he gifted him one and it was wrapped with his...
Oh, my God.
And Trump looks like, what the fuck?
When he gave it to him, Trump's like, what is this?
Yeah, it did.
I'm going to miss his streamer memory.
I've been watching the Theo Vaughn Trump podcast.
It's pretty fucking good.
Yeah, I can't.
I haven't watched it yet, but I'm going to.
Theo Vaughn's just talking to Trump about coke and blow.
Yeah, he talks to him like... Trump is like, what? I like how Theo Vaughn's just talking to Trump about coke and blow. Yeah, he talks to him like...
Trump is like, what?
I like how Theo Vaughn just talks to everyone the same.
I like that.
Trump's never drank. That's his thing.
It's crazy. Or smoked.
He had a brother, Fred or John or something.
He's probably done coke.
Yeah, I mean, I don't know.
It was the 80s.
He looked like he was having a lot of fun in the 80s.
How do you do a bunch of coke
And then not drink
I think his drug is women
How do you do a bunch
Every time
I did coke once
And we didn't
This was a couple weeks ago
There was a bunch of people enabling
Fucking enablers
All dudes just chatting
Screaming about high school
Telling the worst stories
Not only are they telling bad stories
They're telling them extremely loud
Not talking about anybody specific
Why do you have to be loud and dumb
Why do you have to be loud and talk about high school
That was 15 years ago
Here's the thing
If you're talking to 8 people in a room
And you're starting to tell a story,
don't. Because no one wants to hear
your stories. That's one thing I've noticed.
People don't like other people's stories.
And don't show me your demos
on an iPhone. Yeah, Skippy.
When I'm
kind of fucked up and it's a loud
room and at a bar. Don't show me like...
Oh, that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just send it to me. But then they have your phone number.
Yeah.
So you need like a second, like a fake phone number.
I don't want to hold two phones.
It's so annoying.
It's like so cheesy when people hold two phones.
Fresco two phones?
Like Baby Keem?
Baby Keem is a sick fucking...
Oh, shit.
That's far away.
We can still hear it.
Baby Keem.
All right. I want to do my tour dates Because I have to
Because they yell at me
This is a platform for you to be
Promoting your music
I tell you to do your tour dates every time
This Wednesday
We are playing in Syracuse
Whoa beautiful Syracuse
You get to see Jack Brown's dumb ass
Oh god I got to see Jack Brown He dumb ass. Bunkin' waffles.
Oh, God. I got to see Jack Brown. He probably won't show up
to our show. I love Adam Gold, though. I do love
Adam Gold and E-Man. Congratulations, E-Man.
He just had twins. His wife is so hot.
She's a beautiful, beautiful person.
She's from a movie. She's so beautiful. She's like a
model. I almost feel bad saying it, but she's just so beautiful
that you can't not see her. Yeah, I know.
Shout out to you, E-Man. Thursday,
we're in Woodstock,
Bearsville, New York.
Peter Shapiro just bought the Bearsville Theater.
I'm excited to see what type of renovations
he did on that one.
Cap Illuminati.

Yeah, we've already sold
2,700 tickets. We still have 800 tickets
to go. Let's sell it out, guys.
We've got a week.
Then we're in Portland, Maine. I'm excited
for that. Thompson Point.
That's where Fish plays. Is that outside?
6,500 cap.
No, they don't play there.
Maybe they did like 25 years ago. Or maybe I? 6,500 cap. Holy shit. No, they don't play there. They probably play somewhere bigger.
Maybe they did like 25 years ago, yeah.
Or maybe I think Goose just played there or something.
That sounds more reasonable.
Then we're playing in Knoxville, Tennessee on the 24th.
Or no, on November 4th.
They had a World's Fair there once.
And then we're playing Black Mound, North Carolina in Asheville.
I know you guys don't like going to Black Mound, North Carolina.
I don't know.
The ticket sales
are scarily low.
I wonder why. Very low. Is it in Asheville?
It's like 40 minutes from it.
But also, Leftover Salmon
is playing in Asheville
with Railroad Earth and stuff.
They're kind of fucking us on that.
But come on out. Come on, Asheville,
North Carolina. I know I've been playing North Carolina a lot,
but let's get the people from...
Wait, who's the two bands?
Leftover Salmon and who?
I think Infamous String Dusters.
It's like that.
Oh, shit.
It's a big bluegrass mecca.
Lock your dumpsters.
Lock your dumpsters.
The bluegrass fans are coming to town.
Lock up the dumpsters.
They were playing in Roseland, Charlottesville, Virginia,
basically at Devil's Backbone.
That show's doing pretty well.
Then Charlotte, North Carolina is almost sold out.
That's part of the Pigeons Dogs tour as well.
Okay.
And then we're finishing the tour in Virginia Beach.
I love playing at this brewery.
I love Virginia Beach.
It's like grungy.
Yeah.
Kind of like, it's like cool trashy.
Norfolk, all that area.
A lot of great athletes from that area.
Michael,
Ronald Curry.
Then nine 12 or an Altmont,
Colorado.
Where's that?
Um,
like three hours into,
what are you doing there?
A festival thing?
No,
just a club show.
What's the,
I like doing a couple of club shows before we do red rocks to kind of get,
get warmed up.
What's the name of the club you're playing?
Altmont resort.
All my, okay. And then we're playing Buena Vista
at the Lariat on the
13th and then the 14th is Red Rocks.
Red Rocks. So grab your
tickets. Alright guys,
that was a pretty good episode. That was a great episode.
We talked about a lot of stuff.
Why doesn't Joe like when we talk about politics? It's very important.
Because he thinks we're dumbasses.
We don't have enough knowledge. I have as much knowledge as he does. Because he thinks we're dumbasses. We don't have enough knowledge to talk about politics.
I have as much knowledge as he does.
He can kiss my ass on that.
I don't.
I do.
I'm like, why can't everyone just get along, man?
We're not being divisive or anything.
We're not even really giving.
I'm more just like observing who's more entertaining.
And right now it's the Republicans.
They're fun to watch.
Yeah.
But that J.D. Vance, that guy is a fucking lunatic.
Yeah, he's weird. He's a kooky Yeah. But that J.D. Vance, that guy is a fucking lunatic. Yeah, he's weird.
He's a kooky dude.
Mm-hmm.
He wrote that movie.
He got a Netflix movie.
What's the movie?
Hillbilly Elegy.
My mom loves that movie.
Hillbilly Elegy.
Hillbilly Elegy.
Amy Adams is in it.
So he makes a movie about that, but didn't he go to Penn or something?
He went to Yale.
So he grew up poor, got into Yale, graduated.
American dream. He came out the mud, he grew up poor, got into Yale, graduated, you know. American dream.
He came out the mud, man.
Vote whoever you got to vote for.
Let's just all get together.
We need each other's backs, guys.
Just vote for who you're going to vote for.
Vote for, yeah, we're not telling you who to vote for.
Even if you don't vote, I honestly don't give a shit.
Yeah, or don't vote.
Do whatever you want.
I'm not going to tell you what to do.
Yeah.
If you want to just watch people on Instagram.
Right in Ronald McDonald.
Just don't stalk people.
Don't stalk little girls like Chappelle Roan
She's trying to
She's trying to be herself
She has a fake name for a reason
Don't try to go talk to her parents
She's an artist not a celebrity
I had a stalker hit up my parents
That's what she had that's what happened with her
And I had a stalker hit up my sister
She hit up everybody
Saying what like you guys want to chill?
Just like talking about me and like how I'm like the prophet.
It's just weird.
God, what the fuck religion is that?
I don't know.
Just from Motivational Monday videos, do you have your prophet now?
That's awesome.
That's kind of how the Bible works, but it seems like.
It's a bunch of frascos.
Should I retire?
Yeah, do it, man.
You won't do it.
You won't retire.
Every other month, I'm like, should I retire?
Just start selling real estate.
Hopefully I get this thing
that's about to happen.
Hopefully it doesn't all fall apart.
With my luck, it probably will.
You've had the worst luck.
You grew up in LA.
Well,
I mean, I have been taking the stairs.
I've been doing this music thing for 15 years.
You'd think people would get bigger by now.
You're pretty big.
Decently.
You're making a living.
I'm not bragging about it. I'm not marinating shit. I'm having a great day. We're about to. Decently. You're making a living. I'm not bragging about it.
I'm not marinating shit.
I'm having a great day.
Yeah.
I'm feeling good.
We're about to go on a flight.
Yeah, I think that's why I'm stressed out
because I got to go back on tour.
So right before I go back on tour,
I fucking dread it.
I always don't want to go.
And then once I'm in,
I'm like, this is the fucking best thing ever.
I'm the same.
I'm like the day before you go on a vacation.
I'm still in a routine of like working on pause during the week,
then going on tour for a weekend.
But now it's like a long one.
Doing stuff kind of sucks.
I'm going to eat at nice restaurants.
Yeah?
Like what?
The good Arby's?
I love Applebee's.
Like the suburban Arby's?
I like Applebee's.
It can be hit or miss.
Yeah.
Like that chicken shrimp thing.
Yeah, that's good. What about Chili's? That's the best chain, right? I like Applebee's. It can be hit or miss, yeah. I like that chicken shrimp thing. Yeah, that's good.
What about Chili's?
That's the best chain, right?
I like it.
Outback?
I don't know.
I like pretending I'm eating healthy.
Outback or Texas Roadhouse?
It's just filled with oil, like the chicken.
Yeah, nothing's good for you.
We don't have good for you food in America anymore.
It sucks.
That's why we're all getting cancer.
Speak for yourself.
All right, I got to go. Let's get out of here. Let's get out of Denver.
Let's go to Raleigh, North Carolina and sit in a hotel and watch porn.
No. What are we going to watch?
I don't know.
Is it still...
I want to see if I can get you up on first class with me.
I deserve it.
You do.
Bo put me in a goddamn middle seat.
I hate that, dude.
It's like my worst nightmare.
Okay.
I'm always between like
the two worst people in the world.
Well, I could probably move your seat
to sit next to me.
Where are you?
I think I'm first.
I think I just got upgraded.
Ooh!
All right, we got to go.
No one wants to hear
where we're fucking sitting.
All right, bye.
I'll be in the
first class having
the chicken alfredo.
Goodbye.
