Andy Frasco's World Saving Podcast - EP 298: Nick & Andy

Episode Date: December 3, 2024

Andy unpacks his trip to Italy and alleviates worries about a potential move back to his hometown of Los Angeles. Andy may soon help Nick see the magic in the chaotic mess of L.A., but Nick still has something to show Andy about the quiet elegance of a green room couch. (Denver is FULL UP on green room couches fyi) Listen closely as Nick’s meticulousness and Andy’s free spirit blossoms into a deep, loving friendship, full of late-night texts and shared passions. In the end, this pod has become more than just banter about drugs, sports, and jam band stars— no. It is now the story of two souls who found love and laughter in each other, both on and off the mic.

but I can't live there. Listen, living within 45 minutes of your parents sounds like a fucking nightmare to me. I gotta be honest. I like my parents, they're chill. I like my parents too. But I don't know. I don't know, it was weird.

My sister was being fucking weird. Was it the weirds? I don't know. My sister was getting jealous because my parents was at the weirds? I don't know. My sister was getting jealous because my parents gave me a little money for my house. Didn't they pay for her entire college and a wedding? Yes! Thank you.

I didn't ask for fucking shit. They gave me a little money to help me pay for a down payment. Here's how I look at it. For my house. And she all fucking bitching and shit. I'm like, shut the fuck up. Well, here's the thing. This is the thing.

It's like she got a wedding, right? Which is probably expensive. Yeah. She's a girl. Right. And then. It's like she got a wedding, right, which is probably expensive. Yeah, she's a girl. Right. And then she got her whole college paid for probably. Right. Um, and half it. Okay.

That's still fucking more than you got for your house. She went to Indiana too. It's not a go out of state. It's like 35,000 a year back then in 2006. What's up, Sean? He's going just moving through. Hang it out. He's looking fresh. Yeah, so I feel like you probably still got less money than her in the long run.

I did. I didn't get shit, dude. Plus you're a business owner. I don't know. I know how much they gave you. Sell, sell, sell. Here's the thing. I know what they gave you. It wasn't that. It wasn't crazy. No. And it was part of my inheritance. Okay. Then what? I don't know. Jealousy between siblings part of my inheritance. Okay, then what? I don't know, jealousy between siblings is weird. But she makes millions of dollars.

Really? Yeah, she started a company. Is this the doctor one? No, the other one. The one that I'm normally cool with. I'm starting to get pissed off at her. What does she do? She found, I mean, she's brilliant.

Her and her husband are brilliant. I didn't know, I don't know much about this one. They saw that there is Not that big of a market of Epson salt on Amazon. Oh my god in Epson So they're like those genius people that can notice holes in the market exactly and they made God I want to be like that So bad, I'm just has a house of corn. I mean she'd ball. Why can't I ever think all I can think of a stupid-ass masturbation joke All I could talk all I can think of a stupid ass masturbation joke. All I can think about is nitrous and crowd surfing.

They're out there fucking talking about Epsom salt and shit. They have kids? Yeah, two. Both your sisters have kids? That's the thing too. Like they don't... She's cool. Like Kiki does not talk to me.

My niece won't talk to me, won't look at me. Her kid? Her kid. She has a boy and a girl? Boy and a girl. me, won't look at me. Her kid? Her kid. She has a boy and a girl? Boy and a girl. And Cooper's kind of spoiled too. Cooper's a cool name. He's cool.

Yeah. Cooper Clegg. That's a sick ass name, dude. It's a baseball player. Or a quarterback. I'm trying to get my, I'm trying to like be an uncle more and try to be more in their life. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

You're a cool uncle to have. I think so. You know? At least like Bailey's kids likes me. My uncle did HVAC. Yeah. My uncle's cool though. Yeah, you're cool uncle to have I think so, you know, yeah at least like my kids likes me. My uncle did HVAC. Yeah My uncle's cool. Yeah. Yeah, so I was like fuck dude So she won't even talk like the dot the she's my sister. Yes, Steph You know like you have to talk to your uncle like at least like say some shit like that Like you're gonna hang out with your uncle. Yeah, don't like you're gonna watch him die someday

He doesn't have any kids you You're going to have to. So one of you you're going to have to pull shit out of me. One of you is going to have to stay in there with this guy when he dies in 15. Yeah, I'm not. I'm going to be alone. Fifteen. So it's a no from me. Who said that? Greg. We said edge of the week.

Oh, yeah. Funny. But yeah, so that was pissing me off. So I'd go, I'd go hang out in the valley, then I'd go to Westlake. I like, then my dad sat me down. And he's like, I think my dad thinks I'm gay. I could see that. He was saying something like,

yo, whatever you want, even if you wanna fuck dudes or whatever. I was like, what? My dad's a little homophobic. Yeah. Well, he's a boomer. Yeah. Why are boomers so homophobic? This is how they were raised.

It was this different time. They're Trumpers and homophobic. It's weird he's not religious. What? He's not like religious. No. Just a thing, I guess. It's a boomer thing.

So they were just sitting you down trying to get you to- But like, it was a great hang, but he was getting wasted. We were all drinking. They put two bottles of basil Hayden on the table and said, sit down. I'm like, fuck, here we go. Because I decided, I don't, you know, I'm getting at that point where I don't want to go out on Saturday nights anymore. I'd rather go out on Mondays, Tuesdays. Those are more fun to me.

I agree. The pain in the ass Saturday night. Everyone, it's like everyone makes such a big deal over a fucking Saturday night. I'd rather go out on a Tuesday than have Saturday and go chill out. But I think that's also, we're getting older. So they sat me down and said, Andy, it's time. I know you voted for Kamala,

but it's time to tell your fans to meet in the middle. And you need to be Republican because you're going to get your tax money. He has a point on that, but I don't know. I don't know if it's that big of a difference. I don't actually know. So I didn't, instead of, I normally fight it. I'm like, all right, pitch me.

And then they're talking, they've done all the Republican stuff. And I was like, why? Because I'm trying to figure out we all have to come together eventually. We're talking about echo chambers. Yes, kind of that. Yeah. It's like how everyone just hears their side of the story. They don't hear both sides to have like, you know, try to figure out a way to be in the middle.

Everyone just hears their side and says that other sides fucking wrong. Well, the problem with that is people can't even decide what the middle is. And like, there is like, what's the middle? Everybody thinks they're in the middle. You know what I'm saying? Right. People who are obsessed with Fox News thinks they're rational people in the middle. You know what I'm saying? People who are obsessed with Fox News thinks they're rational people in the middle

and sort of the MSNBC obsessed people. You know what I mean? Everyone thinks they're the middle. It's stupid. We need to pick where the middle is, announce it on Fox, say this is the middle, we're gonna meet here. But then he was saying, then he's like,

you know, you're getting 36, you never brought a girl over here. But then then he was saying, then he's like, you know, you're getting 36. You never brought a girl over here. So here's the she's like, you have two options. I was like, God, it sounds more than two options, but yeah, yeah. He's like, then he started telling me, he started telling me either got to marry someone with a kid and be a stepdad and eventually have another kid

because they'll have their own thing going on. Yeah. Or someone younger in their 20s. Oh, he just wants you to have kids now? They said you can't be, you can't live alone. Why not? That's what I said. I'm like, I'm totally fine living alone. I know some guys in there.

I know some alone guys that are not lonely. No, I'm having a great fucking time. You're surrounded by people all the time. The only time I feel alone is if I fucking do blow and wake up in the morning. I don't really know you to ever not have someone around you. I know. People glob on you. But what about like when I'm 70?

I don't know. I'm not having kids either. So this kind of applies to me too a little bit. I just have a girlfriend, but I'm having kids. But I don't know, who cares? You can't live, I don't know. I'm not into this whole perspective people have where they live their entire life for the finish line.

Like, what are you gonna do when you're 70? It's like, well, why? I don't know, it's like, if you're comfortable when you're 70, but you were bored your entire life, is that really worth it? Yeah, I think about that when people wait, they work their whole life and wait to, wait to like do all the fun stuff when they're 70.

What if you die? Yeah, or what if like you fuck up your legs or you can't jog or go on that trip to Tahiti? Yeah. It's like all this stuff like, why can't we live now? Why we have to, we're waiting to live. It's not like you're poor either. You're not going to like die in a ditch somewhere.

Like you're going to become fine. I don't you're poor either. You're not gonna like die in a ditch somewhere. Like you're gonna become fine. I don't know. Maybe your dad's just a little more traditional. They're a little more traditional. Like the way they were raised, it's like get married, have a kid. Well my mom like kind of said under her mouth like. Under her mouth?

Or under her, what's that? A breath. Under her breath. Like under her mouth. It sounds like when a German person doesn't really know the phrase and they say it wrong, you know, when they're trying to speak English English My mom said under her breath was like well, we don't have any we don't have any Parents didn't hang out with like they're like the husband's parents or whatever. Oh, why is

What would you I don't understand like cuz I'm I'm single She doesn't I don't have like she doesn't have any one to hang out Like if I had a girlfriend they'd hang out, like she doesn't have anyone to hang out. Like if I had a girlfriend, they'd hang out. She or if I was married, they could hang out with her. Oh, I get it, I get it. Like the in-laws. In-laws.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And my Jason's in-laws, my sister's husband. They're not chill? I mean, they just don't, they're all independent. They don't, they want everyone to leave us alone and Melissa, my other sister, nameship. She's not really locked into the, They're kind of guilt tripping me a little bit,

like, well, when are you going to start? I'm like... I mean, I can... This is crazy. I've never, my parents have never had this conversation with me. I don't know what's going on. I've never once, neither my mom has made me one little comment about me not having kids.

My dad's never mentioned it once. Well, she would listen to the podcast. Hi, mom, how you doing? I mean, it's just fine. They are allowed to have this opinion. Yeah. And they're right mentioned it once. Well, she would listen to the podcast. Hi, mom, how you doing? I mean, it's just fine. They are allowed to have this opinion. Yeah. And they're right a little bit. Like, they're not like wrong.

They just don't want me to be alone. That's fair, but also like the traditional thing. Like, let's. But I've been alone my whole life. Let's backpedal a little bit. Let me rewind. What I was saying earlier about this thing about the finish line,

if you are doing that, that's also fine. And you might be right. Right. So it's like, it's not that they're wrong. It's just that you have a different opinion on what also fine. And you might be right. Right. So it's not that they're wrong, it's just that you have a different opinion on what you want to do with your own life. Right. Yeah.

You know, I'm the type of person who doesn't want to settle. I don't want to go into a relationship just because I'm lonely. Yeah, that's a really bad way. And then I'm with this fucking girl who doesn't understand me, and she's a fucking piece of- Or guy, we don't know. Or guy, whatever.

I'm not putting dudes out of the table. I was looking at John Shields, a little stranger. Looking at him? I'm like damn. I could date John. He's hot. John's hot. But I just don't like Dick. Like Dick weirds me out. Like I would love an asexual relationship. That's called a friendship. Oh. Really? You mean, do you want to have friends? Wow, Andy doesn't understand that not every relationship, even ones of guys, has to become physical.

I still think that your whole validation is coming. I think that's a thing with you a little bit. You feel validated when someone makes you come. Sex is like validating for you. That's why you're addicted to it. Right, because I'm insecure. Yeah, and it's just like maybe you're a little bit of a sex addict or whatever,

but I think that's where you get your, I think we've talked about this before, but it's like kind of where you get your validation. So like even with guys, you're like, I want an asexual relationship with a man. It's like, yeah, you mean every friendship you have? That's just called being a homie. I don't know what you're talking about. Yeah, you're right.

Yeah. Well, you know, it's like, I just don't settle. But also, me not settling it and finding the perfect person is unrealistic too. Like sometimes you have to like. There's no perfect person. There's no perfect person. I'm learning that.

That's part of what a good relationship is is just you gotta accept their faults. Right. There's a lot of them. Yeah, and I've been accepting people's faults more than I, normally I shoot people away and now I'm digging into people. With women you mean? Just friends.

Oh yeah, yeah. Bandmates. I think you're harder on women than men though about that. Yeah. Like romantically I think you're harder. But that's fair because it's more of a commitment. Yeah. Yeah.

I just see all my friends in shitty relationships and they don't like each other, you know? Yeah, it's hard man. After that second month it just kind of all falls apart. Once you've had sex with someone like 15 times, it's like, all right. What movies do you like? Human nature.

What is it with human nature is like, why are we afraid to be ourselves to court someone? Why can't we just like show our true colors right off the bat? We're like, we have to like pretend we're someone else just to get them interested. It's basically insurance sales, isn't it? Like it's just in sales.

You have to show the best version. It's like being a car salesman or something, you know? You talk about all the good things about the car and then you take the test drive. Maybe the brakes aren't what you thought it was. And then you get it home and maybe this wasn't a $40,000 car after all. You know what I mean?

It's just sales. That's what it is. Like dating is pretty much sales. Right. I bought a Rolex. What a funny fucking transition. No, but sales. I was like.

You didn't get a Rolex? I did. Oh, which one? Root beer, 1979. I texted Billy Striggs. I was going to get, I was like, I was on the fence about it. Did he text you back? Yeah.

Nice. We had a nice conversation. He seems really nice. He's a really nice fucking guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I watched him on Jimmy Fallon on Thanksgiving. Really nice fucking guy. I've been, you know, because he's my only watch guy,

because I'm really obsessed with watches. I think it's funny that he's into watches. He's obsessed. Because he's just like, you know, he doesn't my only watch guy, because I'm really obsessed with watches. I think it's funny that he's into watches. He's obsessed. Because he's just like, you know, he doesn't present as like a guy that's into material things. He's got sick ass watches. He deserves it.

Yeah. Also, watches are a good investment. I guess, yeah. They hold their value. Yeah. But I was texting him like, do I, I mean like, I have the money to do it, and like. Treat yourself, bro.

Yeah. And like. Consider it a Christmas bonus. I thought about you, like, that was what I thought. I yourself, bro. Yeah. And like consider it. I thought about you like that was what I thought. I did like, you know, about me. I thought about you like you're like only buy it if you could buy a couple of them. Yes. You know, in your mental. And that's a good that's a good like good financial law. Only buy something you can buy twice.

Yeah. If it's not a necessity. So like I was always worried about like, should I get a brand new one? And then I was talking to Billy. I was like, no, get I like, cause I really like vintage stuff. They're cooler. They're cooler. They're probably not this like 1979 Rolex. Nothing crazy. Nothing crazy. Not like nothing. Five figures over 10. Ooh, shit baller. No, it was like 9,500. Okay. So under that's not that bad. I mean, that's a cheap Rolex actually

You should cut this out. Why do you think I'm bragging about my money? No, you seem kind of embarrassed about it I am cuz I don't like I'm so frugal with shit like that's like on the scale of Rolexes though That's like a Honda Civic like that's not you didn't get like a you know, I mean, I get a tona I got a GMT man. You got a I mean, that's like whatever, dude, you're allowed to buy yourself shit sometimes. Don't let people feel you bad. You make you feel bad. You work hard. You got money.

You bought yourself a little treat. You were fucking poor for 12 years. Right. No one like like that's the bullshit. It's like I missed the fuck out of you. But like, you know, no one was like giving you shit the other or like no one was applauding you for being poor for 12 years. So why should they be mad at you for being not rich, but you know, heaven's a little dough? Because my dad gave me, they're like,

make sure you save your money. I'm like, I saved my money. I saved money. You're good with money. I'm good with money. Yeah. I saved my money. I save all my money. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And they're always like, give me a guilt trip, like make sure, you know, rainy day. They just remember when you were poor probably and like, you know, no, they're just, that's the Jewish mentality. Yeah, but you're not Jewish. He is a businessman, though. Yeah, but my parents would also, we'd also go to the fancy restaurants

and only order appetizers. You know, or go to the fancy place and go to happy hour. Okay, well. They're frugal. Respect. I think that's where I learned how to save money. That's how you retire. Yeah. That's why he's got a couple of porches now. I think that's where I learned how to tell you retire Yeah, that's why he's got a couple portions now, but now every time I go to a nice restaurant I ordered fucking nice everything I want. Yeah, but that's the advantage of not having kids and a wife That's a thing too

Like I am saving a lot of money not having a girlfriend and not having do a kid is like having a kid What do they say? It's like three300,000 over the course of their life. Yeah, fuck that. Like 15 grand a year. Okay, well that's already more than the Rolex, so. Who was I talking to? A lot of these like step moms are like in my DMs right now. What do you mean?

Just like single moms. Single moms. Yeah, yeah. And I kind of like them. They're cool. Single moms rule, actually. Yeah, and they're badasses. Yeah, yeah.

There's a couple of single moms that are in my deep in my DMs trying to like court me a little bit. I'm like, and I'm entertained the idea now. I'm like 36. Like fuck it. Stepdad. I kind of it's kind of a vibe. Yeah. I mean, yeah. I don't know. It can be. But then you start raising the kid and you're like, holy shit. Here's what they said. I would only be a stepdad if the dab was still in the picture. I know that sounds really rude, but.

Me too. I'm not trying to be someone's main idol, or main, like I shouldn't be your main example. That's what my, what a man should be. That's what my Uncle Rich told me. He's like, make sure that the dad, if you're going to date or marry a stepdad, stepmom.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. A single mom. A single mom. You would be the step. I'd be the step. Make sure that the dad's cool, he's not crazy. He's gonna be a little crazy. It's important, because he's gonna be a huge part of your life.

He's gonna be a huge part of life, and make sure she has something going on, and she's like working, and has her own thing going on. That's amazing advice. And I took that, I was like, you know what? I was always scared to even be a step dad, but now I'm getting 36, I was like, you know what? I was always scared to like even be a stepdad, but like now I'm getting 36. What am I going to do? Like, I don't like young girls.

Steps are a complicated relationship. I've had two step moms and a stepdad in my life. Yeah. And everyone in my age group or in their 30s, they want to like, they don't want to play around. They want to find their person and have kids. Yeah. Some people, I mean, most They want to find their person and have kids. Yeah, some people. I mean most people want kids.

It's like, yeah, I think it's kind of coming back. It like went away for a while, but I think the whole. There's been a cultural shift back towards people wanting a little bit more of a traditional lifestyle. I think right. I've been seeing it online, right? Or maybe just everybody online is crazy and they're like outwardly. Vocal about it.

Man, this European trip was the best thing for my psyche. Did it make you more Republican seeing how lazy these Europeans are? Man, no one does shit in Italy, dude. Everyone's just fucking chilling, drinking coffee till noon. They're all hot. And they're like all skinny, right? All skinny, all of them. I was eating my ass off. We were eating our asses off.

No, all right, chill, chill, chill. Actually, I shouldn't. I was eating ass all day. I was eating my own ass. We were eating like a shit ton of food and just the preservatives, there's no preservatives in their food. So it's like clean food.

It's like RFK's dream food. But Florence was amazing. And then accident Wayne to happen was there. You know that lawyer I was telling you about last year who just like courted me? Kind of, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I saw her. How'd that go?

It was weird at first. She like- How's her English? It's really good. She's Canadian too. She texted the pod line last year to prove she was, I still don't think she's real. Her name's Emily, she's cool.

But she backpedaled too, she fumbled the bag a little bit. I was like, I could date this girl. I could date this girl who lives 4,000 miles away. She's moving back to New York. Oh, she's from America. She's from Canada, Toronto. I thought she was an Italian. No, but she speaks fluent Italian.

She thought it was Italian, that's why she wrote that note down. She thought it was Italian. Got it. But at first she's like, we got drunk. Then she sat me down at 4 a.m. She didn't, we didn't hook up. We didn't, she stayed in another house,

another apartment. Brave. I was like, that's fine, I'm cool with that. But it's like the third year, or second year of not hooking up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's totally cool. But then she said like, I don't need a guy who's just always getting fucked up all the up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's totally cool. But then she says like, I don't need a guy who's just always getting fucked up

all the time and blah, blah, blah. I'm like, okay, cool. Then I'm not for you. I'm at this point in my life, I'm just being completely honest. I'm not trying to like fake it. I'm not just, that's not me anymore. I'm not trying, I'm just like, this is who I am,

take her to leave it, you know, I'm not gonna be a pop star. I'm just gonna be Andy fucking Frasco. I'm Reba McIntire. I'm Reba McIntire. And then she felt bad, and then she like, followed me everywhere for three days. I'm sorry I didn't mean that,

and like, she like, really likes me. I'm like, whatever. I know what you want now, that's fine. We can just be friends. So that ended bad. So I bought a watch. So I got sad and bought a watch. We're off to a great start. But it was so fun. I mean,

I blew some... I didn't, I spent a little dough out there. That's a vacation, like why are we, is that what you're supposed to do? Yeah, what are you? I used a lot of miles, so I didn't spend that as much as the Cacuzzi did. How much was your flight?

Did you, was it all covered? Oh, sick. Miles, I got first class. That's like two grand. Yeah, it was only 120,000 miles for the flight. Oh wait, first class there and back, that's gotta be like. 60 and 60. Four grand or something. Yeah, four or two grand. Yeah, it was only 120,000 miles for the flight. Oh wait, first class there and back, that's gotta be like 60 and 60. Four grand or something.

Yeah, four or five grand. I got that for free. I got the hotel in Santorini for free 25 miles. I just been putting everything on my credit card from the band and I collected like 500,000 miles and I just hoarded it. I just paid off every month and just shotgun the payment. But I got 500,000 miles because of it.

And I just got all this free trip. So I just spent money on food and yeah, that's it. Supplies. No, they gave that for free. What was Greece? Greece is the best. You went to Santorini? Yeah, it was off season.

What do you do there to lay around? Just lay, I mean, we got this like villa. You were watching Netflix. I was watching, dude, Rexam. Ryan Reynolds. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. And the homie from? Oh, he's Sonny in Philadelphia.

I love him. He's actually funnier than Ryan Reynolds. He's hilarious. Ryan Reynolds is funny. Do you know how I watched that show, Always Sunny? A little bit. It's arguably like one of the funniest shows I've watched in 20 years. I know.

I know. But Ryan, Rob McElh. But Ryan Reynolds is so charming. God, he's so hot. He's fucking hot. Blake Lively, his wife, is a badass. They love each other. That's like my dream situation. A famous hot chick.

Famous hot chick. A lot of money. Who's just working, doing her thing. But I had a blast. And Cacuzas, I rebonded with the kakuzas, they're cool. They're coming to Jam Cruise. They were good? They were great.

They were good boys? They were good boys. They don't party, they're older. I mean Matt turned 50. Are they ever not in the same room? I've never seen one kakuzas with them. That's one thing I'm envious about. Stations, bro.

I wish, brother, I wish I had a sibling that's like that close. I'm not close with my family. I think that you- We're not close at all. I don't know, man. I don't sibling that's like that close. I'm not close with my family. We're not close at all. I don't know man. I don't know if you want that. They're connected to the hip and like, it was so funny. Like if one of them got lost, we gotta get Matt.

I'm like, he's 50 years old. Or like, Chad's still getting a panini. I'm like, Chad's 45 years old. He can find us at the bar or across the street. I'm not exaggerating or being hyperbolic when I say I've never seen one of them without the other. No, me either. Even in the bathroom, me either. They go take a shit together in public restaurants.

Me and John were bonded. I mean, I fucking love John. John Shields is such a great human. But he left early or something. He only did a week. Italy. He only did Italy. He did eight days. Rome was the best.

Rome, the Catholic architecture, baby. I could see myself living in fucking Europe. I told you, Catholics have the best architecture. Oh yeah, and the best art. Yeah, they used to kill it. Yeah. Well, they literally killed it. They killed it.

They killed everybody. Yeah, they killed it. Was the Crusade Catholic? Yes, because there was no other Christian religion then. They had them in the early 1100s. So, yes. I loved going, dude, I went into St. Petersburg, like the Vatican City and shit.

St. Petersburg, that's in Russia. I think St. Petersburg is the church. St. Petersburg Basilica or whatever? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It was fucking amazing. Dude, it's crazy. It's crazy. They have so much money, by the way.

So much money. You know, the Catholic Church is one of the richest organizations in the world. The Vatican is his own country. Even with all the lawsuits they have to pay off and all the settlements. And all the little boys they have sex with. Yeah, all the payoffs and the silencing

and all the shuffling priests around and stuff. They still have a ton of money. It's pretty good. I really do love Italy. I'd live in Italy. I don I don't know over Netherlands. Yes. Mmm It's a little more less stiff people are I kind of like the Netherlands. I love it I've never been to Italy. So Netherlands is great. The weather is shitty. Yeah, it's always from Indiana. I'm used to that But Italy is the people are nice, but like.

Are they nice? They are nice. They're different than the fucking French. The French are assholes. I don't fuck with the French, yeah. Fuck their assholes, man. So they are cool. Because they're different than American Italians, obviously.

It's a whole different kind of Italian, huh? Like Burger King and Applebee's. Right. One's trashy and one's delicious. But what I'm, you know, I'm not trying to brag about my vacation, but I'm back here with a different mind state. I'm going to be more gentle with myself.

Gentle. Like, you know, I'm not going to beat myself up over not fitting in places. I am going to be more, just like, you know, in my head, I feel like I'm not a jammer, you know? Like, I heard motherfucker, I heard some rumors about Homie was talking shit. One of the boys I thought were our friends in the band.

What? Talking shit about the band. What? Talking shit about our band. Oh. I'm like, you fucking jealous fuck. There's no way they didn't hear that in the mic, but that's funny. Whatever, bleep it or whatever. I'm like, are you kidding?

I fucking, I don't like when people are fucking nice to your face and then they fucking talk shit. That's a pet peeve. Just talk shit in person. To be fair, you kind of talks shit about everybody. It's kind of his thing. He does? It doesn't like, I wouldn't take it too seriously.

He's just kind of, he's like me. He's a British guy. Kind of a ruffin' a little bit. I wouldn't like, it's not like a... He's like, I don't consider that music. Yeah, but he's like that about almost everything. Anything after like 1974 or like, you know? I'll remember that when you're,

when you ask me to open my tour again. He's sailing. Anyway, I was just like, you know, I wouldn't, I was just talking about how he might have been things get me in the near. Yeah, but I don't think he was like that serious about that. No, because he, he said a lot of nice things about you to me. So whatever, who cares? We'll bleep it out. Because he said a lot of nice things about you and me. Whatever. Who cares?

We'll bleep it out. Just let everybody talk. But you know, I'm just trying to be at peace with where I'm at. I'm not trying to get angry, not angry. I'm not trying to be jealous over other people's success. I'm not trying to be, I never, I do get jealous.

You know that? Everyone gets jealous. It's normal in human beings. I'm just? Everyone gets jealous. Human beings. I'm just trying to live in peace with myself. And that's the hardest part is to be in peace with yourself. You can be in peace with other people, but it's hard to. It sounds like your parents really got to you. They did.

Yeah. They did. I think it's more about that than the music stuff actually a little bit. Yeah, but what do you mean? Just like they want you to change actually a little bit. Yeah. What do you mean? Just like they want you to change your entire life almost. Yeah. They always like poke at me about-

What are you going to do with a kid? You're gone 200 days a year. Like, I don't know. I don't know. They just say I'm 36. They want grandkids. I think it's the self-esteem. They have grandkids.

I know, but like that's what I'm saying. How many grandkids do you need? I mean, once you get past two, it's like- I don't know. I think just because I'm being picky and I don't settle, they just like stereotype, they're like, oh, he's gay. How old were they when they got married? 20.

20? They've only got 50 years. Oh yeah, they're boomers, they get married young. I guess my mom got married around that age. Right. I don't know. Is guess my mom got married around that age. Right. I don't know. Is it their 50 year anniversary already? Yeah.

Hmm. We're all going to Hawaii next year. Really? You want to be my date? You should be my Thanksgiving date next year. I know, I was talking about that. Like I'm bringing someone to Thanksgiving. I don't think your mom likes me very much.

No, she does. Oh. She loves you. She used to not like me. Yeah, well, it takes a second. Because you're always anti family. I'm not anti family. I mean, it's like me having a family. They're like, I don't trust Nick. He always wants to push you away from us. No, no, no, no, I would never do that. They're cool. No, but it's the same stereotype. They

hear one thing. It's like when I'm like 90% of what I say is a bullshit joke, so it's like... 100%. It's like... But like, no, like being the psyche of my mom, it's like also she said, hey, I watched this movie Rockstar. You're not doing heroin, are you? Mark Wahlberg? Yeah.

No way. No one does heroin anymore. Not musicians, really. But then she'll say something back in the comment like oh hey, I was all this weed I'm like, I actually don't smoke weed anymore. I haven't seen you really smoking weed like you know anyway my new single try not to die It comes out 24th 24th. Yeah, it's long buy your tickets everyone This rant is sponsored by volume comm Dude Greg's the best Greg's a good dude. He doesn't like our idea though. I was surprised.
