The oyster, I got. Did you buy other people drinks? This is my friend who had a beer. And I bought, oh, and shots. Yeah, there you go, there it is. But the oysters, yeah, it was like. Oysters are expensive. Yeah, four bucks a oyster.

They gotta go in the ocean and get them out of there. Yeah, there's no ocean in Denver, so. Yeah. I'm not dogging the hustle, go get them. Hell yeah. Go get them. But other than that, things are looking good. Yeah, you're getting ready to go on tour again.

I met his kids, they're really good kids. They're cool. They're good kids, they're like mature but not too mature. Yeah. Cause you don't want like kids to be like adult, you know what I mean? Especially like yeah. Bayless's kids are fucking mature as hell too. Yeah, they are, but they weren't there.

But his kid, the younger one, I walked into the green room at one point halfway through. So her and Vince's kid were walking around begging for money basically in the green room. I swear to God they had 80 bucks on them by the end of the night. And I told them, I was like, you need to get a job. And I walk in the green room, like, and it was just Stasek and a couple other people, and she's already in the green room. And I walk in, I think it was one of the separate,

because then she goes, you hate kids. That's all she said to me, and Stasek lost it. I was like, no, I just don't like beggars. No, you hate kids. I love kids. I hate kids. You hate kids. I love kids.

Oh, yeah, they're only seven I don't think I have a kid and like skip like the first three years I fuck it skip like the first 35 years of having a kid I would have a kid and skip 18 years of it. Yeah, see him as an adult Just like maybe just be there dad when they're already like a successful computer programmer and support me. Yeah.

No, Ferik Ferik's good. He adds a lot to the band, but there's other ones where it's like, this guy has half the trailer up there and he's playing tambourine like half the set. What the fuck are you doing? What's Hobie's name from String Cheese? But he's another guy that's a badass. You know he toured with Isaac Hayes? Yeah, always the percussion players have the most obnoxious amount of gear. Yeah, and some weird thing you've never seen before. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know he used to tour with Isaac Hayes for like 15 years before string cheese. Oh Jason Hahn. He's yeah, he tore his chef.

Julie went to Umfreeze the first night and she drank and she had a good time. Oh really, did you guys have sex? I'm not talking about my sex life. Why not? Because of her.

Oh respect. Respect. I love Julie. Yeah, only respect. But did you get a hand job or something? I can't remember. Anyway, she loves Umfreeze so she had a great time. She got to go to a concert instead of work.

Oh, yeah that New Year's Eve fucking Yeah, mm-hmm that sounds obnoxious as definitely where she got sick Just you know, I mean particles in the air Can't have mean particles in the air How was the pageant pageant great that was fun the whole week was fun you had a killing crowd killer Yeah, I think we sold how many tickets we sell bow Damn cool 1313 13 tickets 1300

Plus like our guest list we had a whole guest list. Yeah, the whole floor was open. As long as you fill the floor, that's all that matters. Yeah, it was killer. But I've been on the road. I was first in Chicago, hung out with Bayless and Westby. Oh yeah, you went to their Christmas. I checked on you about that. I had a Midwest Christian Christmas. You mean Christmas? What do you mean? There's no Jewish Christmas. It's like saying American Fourth of July. Well, just to remind everyone

Jesus was a Jew, okay? Yeah, he was. But the holiday... You have to identify it! Yeah, well I had a Jewish Passover this year. Because when he was born, he was Jewish. Yeah, everyone knows Jesus was Jewish. The holiday is Christian. I just want you to know that.

He murdered him. Yeah, it was kind of weird seeing the kids like, they're like, Uncle Andy, are you Jewish? Oh no. I'm like, yeah. It's like, oh. Why are you asking? I'm like, see that Christmas tree? In the Jewish religion, we have the Hanukkah bush.

You do? Yes. It's smaller. Well, we just don't want to feel left out. Yeah, I've noticed that a lot with you guys Those fun talking out bailus's kids we watched the Notre get God they are obsessed with nor do I think it I think it sucked into Notre Dame I'm still house date like in my blood I can't get rid of it, but something deep in me is really all our name me too I'm like I've never rude for Notre Dame ever.

I always kind of like, ah, to the enemy. Texas, ugh. It's like, they have like a Jesus football, like there's a big old Jesus. Well, it's a Catholic, big time Catholic school. But like, fuck. But you know, it's like. Shove it down your face.

I mean, I grew up around, I'm from Northern Indiana, I went to Catholic school. I grew up around so many Notre Dame fans that are obsessed with it, so I kind of got turned off by it. But now I'm getting older and and I went to Calais school. I grew up around so many Notre Dame fans that are obsessed with it. So I kind of got turned off by it. But now I'm getting older and I kind of respect the tradition and I like them. They're cool.

I love their coach, Marcus Freeman. Yeah, he's great. He went to Ohio State actually. I'm wondering what he does, because they have an offensive coordinator that are defensive. Well, so does head coach. He runs the fucking program.

They're playing Penn State. So is that like a... So coaches, like head coaches, don't really make the play calls? I don't understand. I think it's different for every team and every system. But they pick their offensive coordinator, and I mean, you know what I mean?

I think they have a lot more say. It just depends on the team, I think. It's more like a big picture guy, I think. Runs practice. Damn, Grand Rapids is white. I've never seen so many white people in my life. Meyer baby. Holy shit. Oh is that the grocery store? Yes. I went there. It's almost more of a grocery store. It's like Walmart almost. But with good food.

Yeah. We bought crab legs for Meyer. My second job ever was in a Meyer. Really? In Indiana. What did you do? Like bag groceries and shit. Yep, I was like 16. Brought in the carts, you know? Yeah, it's like. Slacked off. Why people love weird food. Yeah?

Like chili dogs. Is that weird? I don't know, it's kind of weird. It's kind of weird if you think about it. A chili, bologna, piece of bread. I'm not a big hot dog guy, I gotta be honest. I'm not either. Unless it's like a Yaklov hot dog or at a baseball game.

I can afford it. So shout out to Ernie, shout out to the Janks. You gotta hand it to him. You gotta hand it to him. He put in the longest, is he the longest continuing, like. He's the oldest member, that's why I was super, I'm like. Continuing member, I guess, or whatever? It felt like, St. Louis, it felt like

That's pretty good. You got another month main squeeze will push The good thing is main squeeze. I mean this what I played them last year in Ogden It's sold the fuck out and it's like all people that don't go to any for that stuff So hopefully their fans have money so they probably aren't like they're probably like gonna buy them whenever yeah They have like fans that like went to IU and have like finance jobs.

Well my fans, buy tickets early, you know how neurotic I am about selling. Now I don't have to worry about New Year's Eve, because that was a 2000 cap, or that was a 1500 cap, because they just did 15. No balcony or whatever. No balcony. It's fine, you don't need the balcony.

Yeah, that was a big, yeah I couldn't believe it, and then we did 1900 in fucking Florida. I mean, shit's popping off with the band. Your boys are fucking popping off. I know. You know what else is popping off? What? These people, you say you're giving out

a little bit of money. 300 bucks of make, god damn you. And people are fucking losing their minds. Chapman. Dude, who is this Chapman guy? Like, so if you didn't listen to we're giving out an episode 300 we'll let it go for a couple more weeks just we'll let it go yeah yeah well if you want it if you want this holidays people might

not have caught it so basically we're giving out 300 bucks we're gonna bed no not even that much money not that way out of Andy's bank account on mine just so you know. No, no, we're splitting it. We're a team here But 300 bucks you get 300 bucks, but you need to call the voicemail our podcast voicemail It's on the description down there on the wherever you're listening to people already entered and said why they should get the 300 bucks And people are voting and it's like it people are losing their mind Chapman by a mile, dude People are I don't know. Maybe it's like it people are losing their mind Chapman by a mile dude people are I don't know Maybe he's like promoting it. I don't know but I could run for mayor. Let me show you Oh, let's do the there's one guy that we were gonna hook up

Yeah, this is a this is he's had a sincere and nice guys out of sweet, so we're just gonna hook this guy up, too Andy and Nick, I'm touring right now. I want to take care of myself and get the tickets to your Brooklyn Bowl show in Philly and get my son tickets to the first Flyers game, which he asked for for Christmas. The advice is not to pick my son versus me, but do I buy these items and short my bill in January.

We need Chapman out on the road to help us keep working. And if filling this tank is the thing that keeps him going, well then we need to get that done. We appreciate it. Thank you. So professional. I gotta respect the professionalism. The voting on the professionalism for a man that has to be- For us to pay for a night just take is unbelievable. That has to be the most professional guy named Tater on Earth. Chapman, Tater, like who moves these mountouts?
