Starting point is 00:01:03 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.
Starting point is 00:01:16 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.
Starting point is 00:01:29 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.
Starting point is 00:01:45 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.
Starting point is 00:01:51 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,
Starting point is 00:01:58 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.
Starting point is 00:02:07 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.
Starting point is 00:02:15 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.
Starting point is 00:02:28 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.
Starting point is 00:02:50 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
Starting point is 00:03:06 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.
Starting point is 00:03:22 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.
Starting point is 00:03:37 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.
Starting point is 00:03:51 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.
Starting point is 00:03:58 I'm like, fuck this shit. I'm like, fuck this shit. Because like, you know, I hate traffic. I mean,
Starting point is 00:04:04 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.
Starting point is 00:04:21 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.
Starting point is 00:04:38 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.
Starting point is 00:04:53 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.
Starting point is 00:05:03 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.
Starting point is 00:05:14 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?
Starting point is 00:05:26 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
Starting point is 00:05:39 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.
Starting point is 00:05:55 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
Starting point is 00:06:14 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
Starting point is 00:06:30 that some Celtic fans were rooting for France. Yeah. No, no. Some Celtic... Denver fans were ripping on America. For Jokic?
Starting point is 00:06:44 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
Starting point is 00:06:59 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.
Starting point is 00:07:09 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.
Starting point is 00:07:20 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
Starting point is 00:07:33 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.
Starting point is 00:07:46 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.
Starting point is 00:08:01 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.
Starting point is 00:08:10 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.
Starting point is 00:08:24 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.
Starting point is 00:08:39 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.
Starting point is 00:08:51 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.
Starting point is 00:09:01 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.
Starting point is 00:09:13 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
Starting point is 00:09:33 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
Starting point is 00:10:17 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.
Starting point is 00:10:39 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.
Starting point is 00:10:51 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?
Starting point is 00:11:04 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.
Starting point is 00:11:14 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.
Starting point is 00:11:24 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.
Starting point is 00:11:35 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.
Starting point is 00:11:47 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.
Starting point is 00:12:03 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.
Starting point is 00:12:18 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
Starting point is 00:12:31 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
Starting point is 00:12:45 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
Starting point is 00:13:01 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
Starting point is 00:13:16 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
Starting point is 00:13:31 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.
Starting point is 00:13:46 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?
Starting point is 00:14:03 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
Starting point is 00:14:12 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.

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.

Starting point is 00:16:59 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.
Starting point is 00:17:12 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.
Starting point is 00:17:26 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?

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
Starting point is 00:17:53 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
Starting point is 00:18:04 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
Starting point is 00:18:22 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.
Starting point is 00:18:34 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

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.
Starting point is 00:19:38 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
Starting point is 00:19:49 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.
Starting point is 00:20:07 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,
Starting point is 00:20:36 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.
Starting point is 00:20:54 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.

Starting point is 00:21:52 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
Starting point is 00:22:12 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

Starting point is 00:25:25 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
Starting point is 00:25:35 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
Starting point is 00:25:59 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.
Starting point is 00:26:21 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.
Starting point is 00:26:39 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...
Starting point is 00:26:52 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
Starting point is 00:27:05 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
Starting point is 00:27:33 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.
Starting point is 00:27:49 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.
Starting point is 00:28:03 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.
Starting point is 00:28:18 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.
Starting point is 00:28:46 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
Starting point is 00:29:02 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.
Starting point is 00:29:19 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,

Starting point is 00:29:53 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.
Starting point is 00:30:09 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.
Starting point is 00:30:22 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?
Starting point is 00:30:46 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
Starting point is 00:31:04 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?
Starting point is 00:31:20 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.
Starting point is 00:31:34 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.
Starting point is 00:31:48 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?
Starting point is 00:32:03 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!
Starting point is 00:32:20 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
Starting point is 00:32:40 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.
Starting point is 00:32:51 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,
Starting point is 00:33:01 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.
Starting point is 00:33:30 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.
Starting point is 00:33:43 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.
Starting point is 00:34:11 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
Starting point is 00:34:27 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,
Starting point is 00:34:44 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
Starting point is 00:34:53 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.
Starting point is 00:35:04 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.
Starting point is 00:35:20 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.
Starting point is 00:35:30 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.
Starting point is 00:35:42 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
Starting point is 00:35:50 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.
Starting point is 00:36:00 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.
Starting point is 00:36:13 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
Starting point is 00:36:31 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.
Starting point is 00:36:44 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.
Starting point is 00:37:01 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.
Starting point is 00:37:15 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
Starting point is 00:37:26 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
Starting point is 00:37:34 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
Starting point is 00:37:43 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
Starting point is 00:37:53 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.
Starting point is 00:38:14 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
Starting point is 00:38:32 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?
Starting point is 00:39:09 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.
Starting point is 00:39:24 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
Starting point is 00:39:36 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
Starting point is 00:39:42 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?
Starting point is 00:39:56 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.
Starting point is 00:40:10 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
Starting point is 00:40:21 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
Starting point is 00:40:35 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...
Starting point is 00:40:51 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.
Starting point is 00:41:09 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.
Starting point is 00:41:20 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?
Starting point is 00:41:33 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.
Starting point is 00:41:48 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.
Starting point is 00:42:03 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.
Starting point is 00:42:49 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.
Starting point is 00:42:58 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.
Starting point is 00:43:09 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.
Starting point is 00:43:24 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.
Starting point is 00:43:36 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
Starting point is 00:43:51 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.

Starting point is 00:44:34 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
Starting point is 00:44:49 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.
Starting point is 00:45:07 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?

Starting point is 00:45:38 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.
Starting point is 00:45:51 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.
Starting point is 00:46:05 I like her. Yeah. I like her demeanor. What about, anyone in Humphreys? No, think about women. Oh,
Starting point is 00:46:13 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.
Starting point is 00:46:19 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
Starting point is 00:46:25 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
Starting point is 00:46:41 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.
Starting point is 00:46:54 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
Starting point is 00:47:08 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

Starting point is 00:47:31 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
Starting point is 00:47:46 Yeah people are bored Which is weird Because they have more access To more entertainment And things Than ever before I know And less
Starting point is 00:47:52 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

You know what I'm talking about?
Starting point is 00:50:05 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.
Starting point is 00:50:21 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...

Starting point is 01:03:43 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?
