the You gotta remember the Rebels. You know, it's like when I say Andy Fresco, you don't include the UN, well then you're not including one of the biggest parts of the band, the Rebels. Without the Rebels, root beer rich, you would be nothing. And without the UN, you would be, tops maybe, you'd run a bike shop. You know what I mean, you'd run a bike shop you know you're on a bike shop and we're live Andy Frasco's world-saving podcast golf man golf man

going golfing today over here we got my co-host my co-captain my my what do they call that caddy I'm not your fucking caddy, bitch. Go on. You can tip me if you want, though. Don't caddies get tips? I don't golf. I thought caddies are like, kind of like the guy who is like,

is their coach. They know a lot. I don't, yeah, I guess, yeah, I guess it's more than just like an assistant, isn't it? Nick Gerlach. Fine, I'll be your caddy, fuck it. He's like, fuck, I'm not your caddy, bitch. I just think of Happy Gilmore, that homeless, I guess I do kind of look like that guy, actually, and I would eat a cracker off the ground but then the black did in

Happy Gilmore. I think he was more of a coach. He wasn't a caddy. Remember that they're making a sequel to that Oh, yeah, it's gonna be called a happy Gilmore to oh really? Yeah, it's very creative. Good name Ah got back off tour and Back in that fucking Denver routine. Getting blacked out drunk every other day. No one's making you. I know. I just...

Baseball's on, dude. Just stay home. I know. Yesterday I stayed home, I was so happy. Every other day I stay home, I'm fucking happy. Every time I go out until 3 a.m. It's almost like there's a pattern. It's like, what the puck?

I don't want to even... You know what I think it is? I gave too many of my fans my number. Yeah, you should change your number. I should, it's time. Are we getting like stalker people like requesting money from me and stuff? That's me, from burner phones.

I've been getting people send letters to my house. I saw a big one. Which is kind of scary. That's kind of. A long one too. A long one. Whenever it goes on the back page, that's when you know you might just need to go to my house. I saw a big one. Which is kind of scary. That's kind of. A long one too. A long one. Whenever it goes on the back page, that's when you know you might just need

to go to therapy instead. If you can't say it in three paragraphs, don't, don't mail it. You know what I mean? It's not a fucking legal contract. It's not like harmful. Well, it always starts that way, doesn't it? But we need to have like some space.

You know? Yeah. We need to have some space. Also. some privacy. Obsessed over someone better. This guy's barely got his life together over here. Yeah, I'm an alcoholic. Stop worshipping Andy Frasco of all people. No.

Yeah. What a what a I wish I had a stalker. That'd be funny. No, you don't. No, I know. I'd be terrible at it. It's not fun. I'd be like, let's go get a drink.

They change their numbers and then they, because you block every number and then they get a new number. They do? They just start and they start and they start. It's scary shit, dude. Yeah. Calling me the prophet and shit.

The prophet, huh? I'm like, what am I prophesizing? It's not good when they start calling Jews the prophet. What happens to that person? That person usually ends up dead. Oh my God. Oh my God. You watched baseball last night?

Oh, I loved it. God, the Dodgers look good. Cleveland got... That game was awesome. That game was awesome. It was like a championship. Aaron Judge. Holy shit. He's a beast of a man. He's an impressive man. That game was awesome. It was like a championship. Aaron Judge, holy shit. He's a beast of a man. He's an impressive man. And he's strong, oh my damn.

I wonder what he looks like in person. He's like 6'8", right? He's like a statue. He's like a Greek statue. Yeah, I can't believe it took him. He wasn't good for a while, I feel like. He wasn't. And then all of a sudden he was really good.

I don't know what happened. Yeah, I don't know what happened. I think he just kind of got caught. Figured it out. Is that with a lot of people? I feel like that with, I'm watching a lot of, we did our drafts. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's like our NBA famous draft where Nick actually crushed it.

He's probably gonna go fucking. No, who knows? You never know, there could be a lot of injuries. You did, you have a good five, top five. Yeah. There could be a lot of injuries. You did, you have a good five, top five. Yeah. And Dolav though, dude, picked Alton Connect

after last night, after the eight three point, he's just doing it to fucking spite me. Yeah, his draft wasn't that good though, so. No, his draft was good. Didn't he win last year? I don't think so. I thought he won the league, or did he get to the, I don't know, I feel like he almost wins every year

and doesn't. Yeah. Whatever. His team's kind of trash. Yeah, I thought his dress was terrible um but it's amazing like pros like some people just like after a year they get it and then they get really good yeah or two or three years yeah two or three some people like four years and they finally get it I wonder if that happens to like touring musicians I think think so. Probably. I think I want to take you to get it. You feel like Billy Strings like just got it. Yeah you know what the thing about him is I

never knew about him until he was famous. Really? It was weird. Usually I know about people when they're coming up. I knew about him. We used to play with him a bunch when we were younger. It was good but then there was this one year where he just got it. But he was always that good at guitar, right? Yeah, totally. So what changed? I think just like figuring out how to make a great show, figuring out how to be great to the fans,

figuring out how to like this, it's like a whole package of things that make you a star. Right, cause it's like all these NBA players that figure it out, it's like're there the talent doesn't really change. No, there's a lot of talents. They just understand how to like work within the game. But yeah, there's a shit ton of talents of people but how do you have all three or five or six things working for you? Just be mentally... And then he wrote he started writing really good songs too. Oh that helps. Yeah. Songs are the most important

thing. Right. Oh yeah. Probably. I mean. With most important thing right? Oh, yeah, probably I mean But that being said we're putting out a new single Oh next week or two weeks from now You are right not to die. Oh, I've been teasing that song forever Jesus fucking Christ We officially signed our record deal with 1rpm major deal is good thank you or they out of Nashville they have a 500 person staff holy shit it's like a big boy who are some other man's really big country acts oh you're on the country you're a country guy now it's a distribution company so it's like we use their it's a major so like we have a

label and we used to use we get to use our whole staff. So it's on us to figure out how to do the marketing, figure out how to... You? Yeah. But they help you with it? Yeah, but I could do whatever I want. I just have the funding. Oh, you already do do whatever you want. Yeah, with no funding.

Oh, okay. I see what you're saying. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just fucking just like making low five videos. Yeah, yeah, you mean like actual like a real... I can make like a...

I've been like slowly... Just teasing. It's hard to tell. ...edging. Yeah, it's hard to... I'm fucking doing it. It's hard to tell with you what's an announcement and what's a pre-announcement. A lot of pre-count.

You know who's killing the game right now? Little Stranger. Really? Yeah, they're crushing it. Yeah, I saw their big shoes post today. Yeah, that was funny. Dude, I heard the cops came into their fucking, they searched the green room.

The green room? Why? I don't know, I haven't got all the info. I was gonna call them this morning when I found that out, but Gingy said, so funny we're making this music video then the next day, the cops searched the green room.

Isn't that like the fourth amendment that you're not allowed to search green rooms? Well like why? Why was the Venti being cocksuckers? Like something was up. Yeah, I wonder what they did. Maybe the little stranger did something bad. Ooh.

What'd they do? Did they find anything? I don't know, should we call them? Yeah, call them. Alright, hold on. Let me get my phone. See what he was... I hope not. Let's cut out. Kevin, pick up.

That's not the rapper, that's the merch guy. Dan, Genji said that the cops went into your green room. Yeah, so it was like alcohol enforcement kind of thing. What? Yeah. So it was, um, like alcohol enforcement kind of thing. They came in the back, started just walking around. I was like, Hey,

what's up guys? And they just flashed a badge in my face and, um, walked into the green room and took a picture of the Jameson bottles on the green room, on the table. What? You got a warning because they can't have just loose bottles in the green room anymore. Oh, it was a venue like you can't have bottles on stage. What state were you in? Yeah, it's some North Carolina, blue law bullshit.

Well, tell those cucks that little strangers there and they can do whatever the fuck they want because they do shit illegally. Yeah, I thought it was going to be way more. That was a great music video. It was hilarious. Meanwhile, I'm sitting right off out of the shot, just on a road case, eating a sandwich. They should have panned over at the very end. They should have panned over. You should be like eating a sandwich, ripping Harp Solo. Ran the credits over you. How's the tour been?

Will you be playing an instrument? Yeah, I think I'm gonna bring my saxophone. I Still have it I think somewhere in the closet. Oh How's it going out here Nick? I haven't talked to you in so long. Good. I think, how long were you gone this time? A couple weeks? A couple, three? It felt longer. A month. Cause I was home in LA. That's right. You didn't come out back. I've been doing good. Just playing some gigs. I helped Drew with some stuff.

I've been doing some recording lately. I helped out with this Flamingosus record. You know, same shit. Denver's the same. I'm glad summer's over though, god damn. I love when it's a little cold, I was outside, got a jacket on. You don't get this weather in LA, do you? No.

Never gets crispy, does it? I love this. This is exciting. This is like Indiana, like 70% of the year. Really? It's pretty cold, yeah, it's farther north. If you could, if Indiana, would you move back, like if you're older, like way older?

Yeah, if I have a lot of money. Yeah, or not, I mean you don't need a lot of money living. Yeah, but if I had a lot of money, it's even more money there, you know what I mean? Yeah, I could probably go die there, fuck it. But you're pretty frugal, like you don't need a lot of money to survive. I'm a frugal guy, I'm a simple man.

Yeah. I don't have a lot of wants and desires. If you had the lottery, there'd be some hints. What would be the hints? Boo. I don't know, it's such a good movie. No one ever see me again. I'm just kidding.

I don't know, I guess I'd just maybe get a studio where I could just be in a studio all day and make its own thing that's not where I live. I would get like an obnoxiously big TV. You would? What about a car? I don't like a flashy car. I have a nice car, but it'd be fucking,

it looks super simple. Yeah, yeah, I know what you mean by that. Like a Porsche Macan instead of like a, like not one of those weird cyber, it'd be so funny if you got a fro cyber truck though. What's the deal? God, I'm just not flash like that, am I? I don't think you're very flashy.

You're something else. Autistic? No, you're not autistic. You're something else. Autistic? No, you're not autistic. You're like the least autistic guy I know. You think? Yeah. Okay. Who said you're autistic?

Couple people. Who? Couple people like I just- Are they psychotherapists? Are they doctors? No, I think they're just trying to like, trying to neg me. I'm like, autism isn't a fucking neg.

First of all, it's not, yeah. It's actually smart to be out It's actually not an insult to just have something. I don't it's like you don't get it from sex No, I mean, it's like you got an STD. I don't know. Why were they trying to piss you off about? I don't know people just neg my that I'm being popular a lot of people like What does that have to do with being autistic though? I don't know. They're just mad at you They just want to get on your skin? Is that what it is? Yeah, they want to get onto your skin.

I'm like, that's not gonna get onto my skin. I have a lot of autistic friends and I love them, so that's not gonna get on my skin. Well also, you're not very autistic. You don't really have any of those traits. I know. I don't get that. People are just trying to hate on my shit right now.

Yeah, it's kind of nice probably. Yeah, I mean it's in them popping off. Haters pay the bills. That's true. They do. Bayless said the more haters you have, the more lovers you have, the more eventually you'll have in your bank account. Yeah, look at Goose. Yeah, true. They have a ton of haters. Speaking of that, we're going on tour with Goose. You are? We're doing the summer thing. I guess it's not a tour. We're just going to Mexico together. Oh, oh that thing like it's like a three day.

Yeah. That'd be cool, right? That'd be fun. I love Goose. But they do have a ton of haters right now. So does that mean Lawrence? They do. Have you been following Lawrence?

No, I heard about some TikTok. Yeah, there's all these people on TikTok making fun of their new song, saying it sounds like like old Navy music or Cole's music or whatever. It's like- But who, they write kids music. Well, it's like you don't even make anything.

It's like all these people that don't do anything, they just want to hate on something. It's like, well, they're making exactly what they're trying to make and they're making it well, so shut up. These people are losers. Yeah, it's like, it's just like people who don't have an album. It's like, put out your own album so we can critique your shit. Why do people...

She's singing her ass off and they're like, ugh, it's not soulful. Like, you don't even... What the fuck do you know about soul? You're on TikTok right now. Dude, it's not soulful. Like you don't even, what the fuck do you know about soul? You're on TikTok right now. Dude, it's so crazy. My, cause I've been adding so many people cause of that horror in New York.

Oh right. Yeah. Yeah. It's like got a million views now. That's cool. But now it's like, it's getting into like the, you fucking Jews scum, Satanist. Oh good, good, good. All of a sudden. Yeah. There's a lot of anti-Semitism out there right now. It's getting really bad.

I'm like, whoa. It's back. It's hot. It's hot. It's like denim. It's like denim. Like denim jackets come back every 20 years. Like bleach denim. Yeah.

Don't wash denim, anti-Semitism, cargo, uh, uh, bell bottom pants. Ha ha ha ha ha! That's good. Next on Old Navy, anti-Semitism. I know, the new anti-Semitism collection from Kohl's. Use your Kohl's cash. It's just like got Jewish guys on instead of George Washington. I don't get it. I mean, I get like, you know.

What's crazy is I've gotten like a fucking shit ton, like 3,000 followers this week. Well, so even if they're gonna hate you, they're still following you. I'm just gonna dive into the juice. A lot of people I think are just doing the anti-Semitism thing, because they're like edge lord 16 year old internet people.

You guys gotta remember when you're arguing with people on Instagram and TikTok that they're probably 15. I know. And there's no reason to argue with them. I stopped reading Reddit. Oh my God, don't ever read Reddit. What are you talking about? Reddit Jam Band stuff.

You used to go on there? Yeah. I'm getting shitting on less and less. Yeah, they've gotten nicer actually in the Jam Band sub. Twitter's a hell hole now. Twitter's a hell hole. I had this one guy, he's like, oh, he's just making everyone be Jewish and be.

You can't make someone be Jewish. Then there's like a picture of me and he like zoomed in. So he like definitely animated this or he zooms into my face and I turn into a rat. Okay, that's kind of funny actually. I mean, it's mean, but it is funny, right? It is. You know, it's kind of hard to become Jewish actually.

So that's not a very good argument. You have to like go through, no, you have to do a bunch of stuff. Go through a bar mitzvah. All that stuff. You have to like speak Hebrew and I don't, so that's not a very good argument. You have to like go through it. No, you have to do a bunch of stuff. Go through a bar mitzvah. All that stuff. You have to like speak Hebrew and I don't, so that's not a very good argument by him, is it? It isn't.

Every 30 years it's back. 40s, it was definitely around the- Now it calls. Yeah. Anti-Semitism. It's like, it's fucking great. Swastika on the lapel. Ah, it's too good.

No, he didn't call me back. He's probably busy. It's going to be fun. Yeah, I'm excited. We're going to have fun, dude. And then it'd be awesome because if I can play more than five songs if you want, or if we don't find a show for to replace East Moline, let's just fucking party. It's Halloween weekend in Chicago.

Let's go out and go haunt some people. Oh, dude, I'm going after it. Yeah. Speaking of Chicago, speaking of Halloween weekend, Let's go haunt some people. Oh dude, I'm going after it. Yeah. Speaking of Chicago. Speaking of Halloween weekend, we are playing Hula Ween. Grab your tickets guys. Let's bring COVID back. Let's party so hard. I don't brother. I think it's already back. I know people. Yeah, people are sick. People are getting sick, but I'm not getting. I can't believe how many people are going out. Like it's a Tuesday. I've been out only, I went out Monday and Wednesday.

And everywhere I went, people are fucking out. This town doesn't take a break. They have nothing else to do, I guess. I mean, maybe they're bored. Well, there's other towns that there's nothing else to do and it's, the bars are dead. Yeah, I don't know. Maybe people are just rich here

and they don't have to have jobs. I wonder about that. It's got to be what it is right? That's the only reason they wouldn't be going out like that. I don't really understand. I went to Emo night on a Monday and it was popping with like 25 year olds to 35 year olds. Warthor's coming back. You see that? Oh really? Yeah all the oh yeah live nation bought it back all the fans are over 18 so it's safe to have the shows again Jesus Christ what is the emo community gonna beat my ass they came and left their arms above their head cuz they're fucking chained cuz they went to jail for banging a 14 year old oh well it's funny because literally like 75% of them have done that it's like oh weird so all these guys that wanted 14 year old. Oh my God. Well, it's funny because literally like 75% of them have done that.

And it's like, Oh weird. So all these guys that wanted 14 year old girls at their show also wanted to bang 14 year old girls. Weird. Who could have put that together? Oh my God. I didn't even realize that I forgot all those guys. All those band members who got canceled for hooking up brand new and stuff. They're probably them. I mean, you know about that stuff. You know that scene better than I do because I didn't see. I knew that. Yeah, but I was 14 when I came up. Yeah, luckily you want those.

And those guys were 1920. 22. You are 25 or 30. And they're like, but now they're 40 and still hooking up with these young. Yeah, but those women are 30 now. So it's fine, I guess. But it's like, damn, but they're still getting in trouble.

Like, like, what's the deal? I don't know't know man I don't know why you would be how much angry how much anger do you have with your mom and dad that you want to have like 14 teenagers are not attractive they're weird looking and they smell they're they're dumb what are you talking about it's like insane was never into younger I just saw that what work no me neither I thought that warped to a warped tour came back I was like oh yeah, yeah, of course, they're all 30 now They can do it legally and not be scared of bringing people backstage anymore. It's just insane smell weird What do you smell in 14 year olds? No, I just used to teach less

No, that's disgusting. I used to like teach private lessons So yeah, they do have that kind of like that onion smell. Yeah, they're just like, you know, they're hormones are freaking out Yeah, I used to teach lessons. They used to be a camp counselor. Oh my God. What kind of camp? It was a sports camp. Oh, cool. And it wasn't like a Jewish sports camp?

No, it was a bunch of rich Jews that went there. But I've noticed a lot of Jewish people went to summer camp growing up. It's like a thing, right? Sleepaway. Sleepaway summer camp. Yeah, yeah. That's why I was so dope that tour that rainbow. Shout out to Maryland, dude. You guys were fucking awesome. That was summer camp, yeah, yeah. That's why it was so dope, the tour, that rainbow. Shout out to Maryland, dude. You guys were fucking awesome.

That was awesome. You guys crushed that. Darlington, it was sick, but it was at a Jewish summer camp. And I've never been inside, it was like a three generation Jewish summer camp. Oh wow. And he's like, you smell the guilt. Really?

You smell the anxiety in there. Guilt and holla. Guilt and holla. Fucking inbreded in that fucking place. There's still Taurus everywhere. But who headlined that? Did you ever go to sleep away camp? I did one year, but it wasn't like Jewish, obviously. We had us and Trombone Shorty headline. Oh, I love Trombone Shorty. It was just like I went to one sleep away camp.

I hated it. I tried to leave the whole time. They hated me. The camp counselors hated me. I got in. I made a girl throw up. I made the because so you'll love this. This is very Nick Gerlach. So it was like a camp, like an hour north of Fort Wayne. All right, I'll hold that thought. So this is good.

This is, you'll like this. Cause you know how I'm very set in my ways, right? So they would make you eat every day. And if you, you had to finish your plate, right? And they had something I didn't like. I think it was like crepes. I didn't really know what they were. When I was 13, if I didn't know what something was I wasn't eating it

So they made me sit there and I couldn't go to the next thing which is horse riding they had horse riding at this shit Which is weird because it wasn't like rich shit was that it wasn't rich. It's weird. It was just like Indiana some old horses like shitty horses. There were some like good horses and I hate the horse. I hated the horse part because I hated camp in general I didn't like this shit. I want to be outside for a week. I don't know anyway, so They're like, all right, you have to sit here and finish this or you can't go to horses So I'm like, oh shit So if I had to sit here and have a standoff with two 50 year olds

It's all I have to do is so they stood over me and tried to make me eat this thing for an hour me and This other girl and I was like no, I'm not it. And they don't know that I am a fucking psycho. OK, they don't know that I'm not like every other 13 year old there. And I'm a goddamn insane person. I'll just look at you and say, no, I'll sit here for eight hours and not eat this goddamn pancake. The girl gets so upset. This is how we get to leave.

She gets so upset about them trying to make her eat it that she finally tries to eat it and she just throws it up on the table. And I'm just like, see? And they're like, fine, you can go. And then the whole, what assholes, I was just a bitch the whole week. I didn't want to do anything. I could, I've been like that my whole life. If I don't want to do something, I'm like, fuck it.

Yeah. Fuck this shit, dude. My mom made me go, my mom made me do all these activities when I was a kid. Yeah. Single mom just get me out of the house. You know what I mean? But I was like, I want to go play baseball with my friends and it was just funny. You would have loved it. Just seeing like a video of me like staring down these two like 50 year old adults

They own the whole it was like the owners of the whole camp. Why? Why were they so like adamant of you eating this fuck? I don't know what's like finish your plate kind of thing. Don't waste food kind of vibe, but it's like I don't want that That's too culty. That's like that's like adopted. Yeah, like this is this is an Annie bitch Yeah, I'm not I'm not forced to be at this fucking sleepwalking. It's one of the strongest things I've ever done in my life is just staring down to a door. This isn't an orphanage.

Yeah. I mean, I paid you to be here. You're being paid, bitch. I don't want to eat the pancake. Don't make me eat the fucking pancake. I'm full. You know what I'm saying? And I was like, I don't want it. And you're never going to make me eat this.

You don't know me. I will sit here until Friday afternoon and go home and starve. I don't give a fuck about you. Call my mom, ask my mom. God, it's so hot when you fucking talk like that. What, do I get mad? You just get stirred up. I get stirred up.

I still get, I feel so bad ass about that still. Just like, no, I don't care that you're adults. You can't do anything. Cause I knew in my mind, these people can't hit me. They can't really do anything to me. These aren't my parents. These aren't even my teachers. These are just two people the fucking weird horse camp and freeman It just called isn't freeman and he is like camp. I hope and they also had a weird

They had like a ghost story. They would do every time too. It was haunted by the Marshman. Yeah, you know, that was pretty fun Do you ever get like hand jobs or anything at summer camp? That was a little young for that. It was like It was like right before puberty. I was getting hand jobs. Yeah when I was a counselor, but Yeah, that's like a let's not warp tore this Warp tour they turn that into summer camp, but I went to the the camp that I was a counselor at I was there For like ten years damn they pay you fifteen dollars a day. What? That's nothing.

That was, maybe it was Jewish then I guess. Yeah, I was like, wow. But like, yeah, so I left when I was in high, cause you could start camp counseling when you're 14. And then you go from 14 to 18. And then you just, that's four years, not 10 years. But I was at the camp from 13. Oh, you went to the camp as a guest.

I get it, yeah, yeah, yeah. 13 to like four, five, 18 year old Andy camp counseling, a bunch of little kids. That's kind of funny to me because you were such a, like a 30 year old when you're 18. Oh yeah. I was like super athlete. Like in my head I was like, you've been 30 for 20 years. Oh yeah. That's funny. Funny. Cause I was like going through, it was, yeah, it was kind of, it was, yeah, it was fun though. I'd roll in there. Cause like, we were still kids when we were counselors. So like we wanted to have fun too. Yeah, exactly.

We were like, I mean all the counselors are hooking up, right? That's like, we were all hooking up 14, 15, drink, sneaking beers and I remember I will never drink flavored vodka. Oh dude, I had a bad flavored vodka experience. Apple. Yeah. And I, and then a bad flavored vodka experience, apple. Yeah, and then the acid reflux the next day where you're like burping up.

Yeah, you know how bad it is when you're only 18 and you're getting acid reflux. I wish I remember those days so I wouldn't have been an alcoholic at the age of 35. Maybe those are what made you an alcoholic though, you know what I'm saying? Why? Because the earlier you start drinking,

the more likely you are to become an alcoholic. I only drank twice. In your life? When I was a kid, I only really drank twice. Really? Me too. I didn't... I just started drinking until I was in... On the road? On the road. High school.

Interesting. Not high school. College. I thought you were like 13th, like drinking every weekend, sneaking off, getting in the liquor cabinet. Senior, cause I was like, you can't really drive drunk because in California, like they scare the shit out of you to like drink and drive. I'm still so mad at those camp counselors. I can't stop thinking about it now. Let's call them.

I'm just kidding. I think they're dead probably, I don't know. Eat the fucking pancakes. It was a crepe. I remember it was a crepe and I didn't really know what a crepe was. I was 12. Yeah, summer camp food is crap.

Yeah, exactly. And I just didn't want it. And you can't force me to eat this. And oh man, I felt like such a crepe and I didn't really know what a crepe was. I was 12. Yeah, summer camp food is crap. Yeah, exactly. And I just didn't want it. And you can't force me to eat this. And oh, man, I felt like such a badass. They finally just I didn't ever eat it. Still, I mean, it's still sitting there. There is 30 years later, 30 years later, still stubborn. It's out. Let's go.

We need more stubborn people. I know. Someone's got to fucking put their foot down around here. They need to fucking not do something you want to don't want to do. And I've kind of just been telling people that people would kind of like Everyone's gotta fuckin' put their foot down around here. It's okay to fuckin' not do somethin' you don't wanna do. I've kinda just been tellin' people that. Like people would kinda like disrespect me a little bit. There's a power in the word no.

Yeah, I'd be like, yeah. Like this guy, he's a really nice guy. He's part of our fan club and stuff. And like, maybe I got a little too close with him because I would like go out to dinner with him and we'd talk. Do I know him? No. You might know him.

Okay. And then I hear him talking some shit a little bit every now and then. What's he saying? Just like shit about the band. Because he's a super fan of another band. So he goes to both of our shows. We don't have to say what band it is.

Uh huh. So I hear Megan on on both fan pages and stuff. I'm like, oh All right So like everything i'm saying is now To him like I thought we were friends and now it's like oh he's just well fans He's trying to get inside dirt and then posting it on the fan page. It's tmz. It's jam band tmz What that's so weird that people do that Jam band tmz, that's funny.

You getting other haters? I feel like the hate's kind of died off with you, I feel like. Yeah. Two years ago, a year ago, I think it was way worse. People have just accepted that you are gonna be the way you are and so. Yeah, I don't get a lot of hate. Goose has been getting it still.

Well, I don't, what's bad now though? Brendan Bales, hold on. All right. Oh shit. Did you accidentally? He didn't. He doesn't know how to work it, does he? He's gotta call again. Call again.

Call again. Yeah, I haven't been really watching, I've been, because I unfollowed everybody. Yeah, yeah. So I really don't have have any don't know any dirt on anything anymore That's good Yeah, yeah, they still get all the hates the same hates boring People are just jealous of Rick because he's cool and hot.

He's got some like, just like something to him, you know? He can play guitar too. Who do you think is the best guitar player like in folk music? Sturgill.

Oh, yeah, he does rap, doesn't he? Dude. But he has a band. I'm talking about people that just kind of like do your thing. Damien Rice. Yeah. Fucking bad motherfucker.

Yeah. Glenn Hansard. I don't know him at all. I know Damien Rice. He was kind of in the Dave Matthews sort of spectrum back in the day. Well duh. Yeah. Glenn Hansard. I don't know him at all. I know Damien Rice. He was kind of in the Dave Matthews sort of spectrum back in the day. What? Yeah. He would get a little electronic.

I guess Dave. We good. Dave is a great rhythm guitar player. He's sort of an underrated guitar player. Right. Yeah. That band rips in general. Jeff coffin on sacks.

Oh yeah. I'm subbing for Jeff coffin on new years. What for what Dave with Dave? No, I'm freeze. He usually does the unfreeze gig on New Year's and he's not, I'm doing it for some reason. He didn Year's. What? For what, Dave with Dave? No, Umfriese. He usually does the Umfriese gig on New Year's and he's not, I'm doing it for some reason. He didn't do it last year either, did he?

I wanna be there at Denver. The Mad Dog Horns. Denver, go see Umfriese at Ogden. Boulder, Boulder Theater. I thought they're playing Ogden too. They're doing like two nights at Ogden and then a night at Boulder I think, or something. Some sort of, just look it up.

She's from Fort Wayne. Like, she's got that in her. Julie's got a little bit of white trash in her. It's all I like about her. Yeah. Yeah, she's from where I'm from, so. She likes that. She likes Umphries a lot, too. I met her like, she was an Umphries chick where I'm from. So she likes that. She likes umpires a lot too.

I met her like she was an umpires chick when I met her. That's kind of funny. She used to like fish, but I think she doesn't like it after she was. I'm scared of women. Yeah, they're scary. So that makes sense. Some of the scariest things on earth are women.

Poisonous flowers are women. No, I was kidding. But no, yeah, they can, cause you never know. You never know what they're going to say next. Do you never know? You ever do something? You're like, you ever have a good time with someone and all of a sudden they're like, turn, turn into like, what are we? Well, not what are we? Cause I've been in the same relationship for like 11 years, but like, like we're just having a good time. Is this still, it's more like, are we still

doing this? Yeah, I don't know. It's like women, they can, and men have their own set of issues too. I've never bought the argument that, I've never bought the argument that women are more emotional than men, you know, because it's like, I've just never seen a woman haul off and punch a hole in the drywall before,

over like, over losing a parlay, you know what I mean? So it's just a different kind of emotional. But yeah, women are they're trickier. They're like a puzzle. Oh, and I would. The couple couple days ago. Yeah. And I just like I just got back from tour. I didn't want to be making a whole night thing.

Yeah. So I just went to fire on the mound to go see touring, which was sick. Shout out to touring. I got to text him. That was fun show. But Bansi from again, kitchen dwell sick. Shout out to Torrin, I got to text him. That was a fun show. What band's he from again? Kitchen Dwellers. That's right, yeah. See the dread guy? I felt bad because the Dodger game was on,

so I was just so glued to the Dodger game. He was like, kept on staring me like, what the fuck? You're still listening. I was listening, I was clapping. Yeah. But yada yada, so I just left. I'm like, I gotta go, I can't be here. She just got in a hissy fit,

like I thought we were going to hang out all night. I'm like, we just hung out now I can't be here. She's just got in a hissy fit Like I thought we're gonna hang out all night. I'm like we just hung out now I don't like I don't like going out to these things where everyone is You know gonna like take pictures of you. Yeah, I saw somebody post a picture of you like yeah I'm like 20 feet away like I mean I'll do it cuz I'm no they liked it was like a lot like fans But it's like yeah It's a little I just just wanna go to a dive bar and just sit in a dark corner. And not exist.

And not exist, and drink and watch television, eat peanuts. Yeah, and chicken wings. Chicken wings. I couldn't agree with you more on that, actually. I know. It's never a good conversation. But I did that for her, so we could hang out.

Yeah. And she's like, ugh, and then she kinda gave me a hissy fit, and then, and then kinda like laughed. I'm like, all right, whatever. They she's like, uh. And then she kinda gave me a hissy fit and then kinda like laughed. I'm like, all right, whatever. They're Rubik's cubes. Yeah. Like once you figure it out. Just trying to be friends with everybody.

You figure it out and they just mess it up and you gotta do it again. No new friends. No new friends like Drake? No new friends. I'm getting a new phone number. Ooh. I'm gonna be less available.

Less ava-able? Does that mean, does that make me a dick? No. If I gonna be less available. Less ava-available? Does that mean, does that make me a dick? No, I mean. If I'm being less available? No, that's the problem. That's the whole issue here is you think you're a dick if you're less available, but you're actually not being a dick,

and that's why you've been made yourself too available. Yeah. I'm happiest when I was like just. Watching TV at home. Watching TV at home. We talked about this before. I was laughing. It's the greatest drug owner.

I was literally, I did, I got off the couch, went to get some potato chips, and I did a heel click. Okay, that's... I was so excited to be home. You can do a heel click? Hell yeah! That's pretty athletic. Really?

I think so, that's where you jump up in the air and, I could never do that, even when I was like 10. I couldn't really get off the ground. I was just so happy to be alone and just like fucking... Did you ever dunk? No. Okay. Yeah.

You may be a little short. I was short. Didn't have any vertical. Oh, well you could do a heel click. That's pretty good. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe you just need to be home alone more.

I know. Hmm. I'm fun. I'm excited to go out and hang out tomorrow though. It'll be fun. Yeah. I'll protect you. Please do.

Whenever someone starts bothering you, I'll just start getting real weird. I'll start talking about camp. I mean, like, I don't want to take this stuff for granted because I do love that. It's a blessing that I get fans and shit. Well, yeah, but you can do that without going out every single night and talking to every single person that everyone wants to talk to you as well. You know what I mean? There's a line. I think people will be fine yeah

I might want to be a dick my add a little miss I don't think you're being a dick if you're not even there in the first place how can you be a dick to someone yeah you're being a dick if you're like fuck off go away like that's right but it's like I don't know it's good to stay home oh you got this nice house you might as well use it I know know, I was thinking about that. Beautiful. We should use it more. Very comfortable. We got a lot of college football on Saturday?

Yeah, I would love to. Come on, I just want to hang out with you. I don't want to hang out with anyone else. I'm so easy to hang out. People don't understand this. Everyone thinks I'm like this. This is this new thing where everyone thinks I'm like this. I do also miss Andrew Cooney.

I haven't seen him in a while. I've been hanging out with him a little. Really? Yeah, I've been running into each other. He's like me though. He's calm. Maybe I'll come to Trivia too, Monday. Yeah, he's calm. Had to take a couple weeks off.

Yeah, well you were out of town. That's true. Trivia is not something you need to come to every week. I like it though. It's been going well again. Popped off. Been too crowded, buddy. No, it got back to its regular thing again

where it's just like nice and people are being, people are starting to shut up during questions. Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to make an announcement. Nick, the Trivia Master, Gerlach has two year anniversary of his trivia. Longer than my parents first marriage. Of his new career. I beat my parents first marriage. Wow. Two year Trivia Master. That's a lot of games written. I know, dude. It's pretty impressive. That's a hundred.

Be honest, have you ever like reused some games? I have never reused a question. I've maybe reused like a fact and like flipped it a different way. Wow. Well, one thing that helps is I do current events every week, so that can't be repeated, you know what I'm saying? But, so let's say there's like 30 questions a week. That's like 3,000 questions at least.

Wow. Because I've done other shows too in there. Isn't that crazy? So crazy. Some company hired me to do this. That's really impressive, dude. I know, people don't really get it. And for like, not a lot of money.

Well, I'm making some money now, but yeah, yeah, you're right, it's not like a ton. Not like a ton. That's a lot of work for little. It doesn't take me though. I'm getting real good at it though, is the thing. So it's like. You're just becoming a master. I wrote the last week's game in like an hour and a half.

Are you alert? Are you becoming smarter because of this? I think so. I don't know. I want to go play trivia somewhere else. What's the capital of North Dakota? Bismarck. Okay. I know all the capitals. Respect. Yeah, I've been known. Who started World War II? I'm a little autistic ass and I was a kid, made sure I knew all those. My grandpa used to prison me around him. Who started World War II? That's the hot topic, say it. Well, you could argue Adolf Hitler, but you know, it all started in World War I,

you know what I mean? Who started World War I? Well, it kind of started with the assassination of Arstur Ferdinand in Sarajevo. You ever hear about that assassination? It's pretty crazy. They tried to shoot him, right? Or something in some parade or throw a grenade at him.

Oh yeah, they tried to throw a grenade at him in a parade and it fucked up. Then his car was going somewhere else to go eat after or something and it got stuck in an alley and the assassin just like happened to run across him and then he got killed that way. And it just blew up. World War I is very complicated.

It's very hard. I don't really, it's like, I've been trying to learn more about it. It's a little much more complicated because the countries were different but basically Yugoslavia started and then Germany took their side and then everything went to shit. This week at Kohl's we will be talking no World War I isn't that you that's not that's not your fault. Blaming the Jews for World War II. Blaming the Jews on World War II. The biggest victim of all. That's insane. But yeah, World War II, yeah, that's a bad thing. But anyway, history's pretty interesting. There's just so much of it. Speaking of good things, volume.com.
