This is going to just be a little extra bonus episode. I did this podcast with Todd Glass where I basically, we took mushrooms at the beginning of the podcast and we just did a two-hour conversation

We did like a heavy dose, like three grams or four grams And we just see what happened And it was a lot of fun So I wanted to post it It's not normally like how I normally do my show Kind of has more of a Todd Glass feel My shit is blowing up today I actually closed on my house today,

so I'm pretty excited. I'm a Denver resident, which is pretty surreal that you guys have been with me through the whole process of this whole fucking mumbo jumbo. But I'm stoked. Denver, let's do this shit.

Let's fuck shit up. Let's change it up. Let's just hope that I can bring something cool to the scene. But I wanted to talk about New Year's Eve. You know, maybe you'll listen to this a couple days after New Year's Eve, but, you know, resolutions and shit and who we want to be going into the new fucking decade. It's a new decade, people. Fuck. Isn't that crazy? 2020, it feels like the older we get,

the quicker it happens. Because I remember, what was going on in 2010? Oh, God. Balls deep. Fucking cocaine and pussy. And I just look at myself now and um i feel like i've grown and i'm proud um you know don't be so hard on yourself going into the next decade you know let's keep growing you know we could change that's the great thing about life we could change you know i used to be fucking wild as fuck and you know i'm still a little wild

but you know i tamed it down and you know and that's okay i used to feel bad about that you know like oh i'm changing fuck this isn't bad i hate change but you know let's accept change because it's inevitable we're gonna get older we going to have different thoughts of people and things. So let's just fucking take it easy. Don't be so hard on ourselves. We're not hard on everyone else. We're only hard on ourselves. So let's stop that. Before I get too preachy, let's enjoy the show.

He'll be grabbing your pussy all over the place. And then the minute she gets it, I'll go, bring her back.

She's like, oh, you're right. Yeah, I got to go. You hang out with her. I know. And I run like a, and I run out the back door and scream and get a hotel for the night. What did I get myself into? Yeah. Get a hotel for the night. What did I get myself into? Yeah. Get a hotel for the night.

Oddly satisfying is the name of the video. I love it. I love, John, that this is such a great thing if you're on mushrooms to put on. Is everyone taking one and a half? Are we all on the same

wavelength? I took two. What the fuck? Don't be stupid. Here we go. Here we go. Fly me to the moon. I wanna... This is the part I know.

The beginning of every song. Of every trip. I can just go to the beginning. Failure, do-da-do. That's it, then I'm done. So I'm gonna write songs that are five seconds. Wouldn't it be easier if we could just do the beginning of things? Not the end.

I know, right? I would love... Another reason I like um i think you should leave because they don't worry about it really if it's funny for 30 seconds run it as a bumper if it's two minutes guess what when it's really funny and everyone's giggling get out get out get out of the sketch that's what what they do. Hey, Todd. What? What are we going to do tonight? I want you to analyze me. I want you to be...

No. You've got serious problems, and I'm not getting involved. Why not? Well, no, to put you in a bad mood. I think you need to go to another country and hide out for a while. Are we started? We're here. Are we started? We're here. Are we started?

Here we are. Should we tell the audience what's going on? I don't want the headsets tonight. No headsets. No headsets? No, no. I like the headsets. Just, I feel...

Well, go ahead, Andy. Explain what's going on. Well, we decided to take a Saturday night to ourselves, turn off our phones, and eat a bunch of mushrooms and get to know each other. Yeah. Is that what we're doing? Well, yeah.

We didn't start thinking. I did not think we would come in here and start just recording our fun. Don't you? I'm trying not to turn it into my normal podcast. So I would have been paranoid. Do you go into autopilot? John Brown Wagner's here. Eddie Frasco?

Oh, it's Andy. You're Andy Pettitoat? Eddie Peppy Teppy? Ibi Dibi Dibi? Yeah, we should. Okay, so what did you say? You know what? That's a fun thing to do in mushrooms.

Does he do that? So John Brown Wagner's here and Andy Fresco. Hey, buddy. That's called Gary? Yes, I did it. Goldman? And he did it. Goldman did a bit?

The whole bit. You want to be on that show? No, I did. And he did it. Goldman did a bit? The whole bit. He did like skyrocket launch me into my trip. No, he doesn't. I knew it. That's why I was going to say the same thing. But Eddie, what's his name? Pepitone. Eddie Pepitone.

He's good. He'll trip. He'll play along. Oh, he'll be great. That's the one thing I love about having comedian friends is like, if you're tripping and you need some fucking, usually they'll give you exactly what you need. I, I like to watch guys like James Adomian always like,

we'll turn it right on and just be funny. Like you ask him to do something. Oh, he'll do it. So I wouldn't have said, come back here and record it because then i would have been paranoid john would be like oh great todd turns a fun night into a podcast you know what i mean that would be my paranoia even though i would normally enjoy it because you know i don't do this that often i know tonight i'm gonna really because i want to get i want to i love the idea of doing this my paranoia of not pitching the idea is I don't want to be the reason the whole group does something. Are you the drug guy, John?

No. I would love to know everybody's drug history. We're stealing all of Doug Benson's. Yeah, who gives a shit? It's our new show, Getting High with Todd. There, I said it. There, I fucking said it. We're coming right at you, Doug Benson.

Oh, fucking hold on, motherfucker. Hold on, fucker. I fucking said it. We're coming right at you, Doug Benson. Oh, fucking hold on, motherfucker. Hold on, fucker. I love drug stories. So, but I don't do this that often. And I said to you that, I go, I want to do them. Remember I said to you, but last time, the last two times, I've had really good experiences on mushrooms. Two or three times nothing happened.

But other than that, it's always really, really fun. But I want to turn it up a little. So that's what I was doing tonight. We might need more. Yeah, we will. But I thought, I don't mind just turning on the microphones and seeing what happens. It's a fun journey to go through with other people, right? I mean, I don't know if you feel like this.

It might be the generation we live in. I don't know if it's just me being in my late 20s and need to do stuff all the time, but I feel like... Also, we're just artists. It always feels like we should do this. Like normal people, they would just get high and stare at a tree. Or we're like, like let's get high analyze this so that normal people can see what we're doing

i fucking agree man but like look at the 70s right yeah but look at the 70s yes it's the idea of like the rock star right what what's what is it It's the idea of the rock star, right? What is it? What's the rock star? Women, money, fame. Drugs. Drugs, rock and roll. Think about if podcasts were during the 70s. Do you think they'd record them?

Oh, yeah. Podcasting are amazing. You know what? Remember we were saying that I thought podcasting, I never even, I think I'm still learning. I said something tonight about podcasting that I thought was even more groundbreaking than I've even realized what a great vehicle it was. And I gave it credit and so did you, I think. to be vulnerable because you have so many people and some podcasts

are silly some are it can be anything you want but in certain slice of them you know there's people

being honest about their addictions or their whatever big small but just honest and the time because it's a podcast to take the patience

to do it in a very unique way so I learned a lot about people and through that I learned yeah do the same like be honest alright so what do you does that make sense what are you scared about Todd why do you fucking bother me So I learned a lot about people And through that I learned Yeah do the same Be honest

Does that make sense? What are you scared about Todd? Why do you fucking bother me? I'm so I told you I didn't want to talk about that But I mean even When you're not even trying to like Learn

That happens sideways I wasn't going I'm going to learn something from podcasts No I just Listen to a lot of stuff But in hindsight you go Well I It opened me up And it taught me a lot of stuff. But in hindsight, you go, well, it opened me up.

But maybe we could learn something from drugs. This is why we're doing this social experiment, right? Listen, here's what you want to do. Can I tell you something? You promise you won't be mad? Yeah, tell me. I put shit in your drink. Yours. All three of you.

What kind of shit, though? Like, gets me horny? Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, all three of you what kind of shit though like like gets me horny 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 i ain't shitting around 2 1 bang okay todd oh god i learned from podcasts this is what i thought about podcasts over the years so there's people like mark maron, there's people like Todd Glass, these people that have put their lives out there in the podcast. You've talked about your past mistakes. So it's like all these people

who've also learned how to live better with themselves. This whole generation that I lived with got to hear all these people and hear how they fucked up growing up so it's like all right let's not do what they did or is it the mystery what is it i mean i keep going back to the 70s like do we think of these guys because it's we're imagining their life now that of course of course because now the because the 70s happened oh you don't think it's what we think it is? Maybe it wasn't. Fuck no.

That's usually the case. Of course it's not. It's different. We just talked about evolution. It's like now. The 70s are like now, only different things. There was wrong going on. There was good going on. Do you think the same shit was going on? Yeah, and they weren't.

We're doing better now than the 70s dude why socially people are cutting chocolate cake no they're they're cutting honey can we tell what explain what john put on the tv what's this called oddly satisfying oddly satisfying it's on youtube we'll bleep it it out. We just saw a honeycomb get chopped up with a knife. That's crazy. Why do you think drugs finally make us become vulnerable? Why are we scared to be vulnerable? That's a good question.

Because... Ego. I feel like I could say anything right now. Well, don't get too fresh. No. Don't get too fresh. Right away, I think it's going to have to be dirty. Hey, don't get dirty.

I didn't say that. I like, like I said, tonight, it's doing exactly what I want it to do. I feel like real warm. I want to tell the audience something. How do you feel? The table at this podcast studio, first I want to do. I feel like real warm. I want to tell the audience something. The table at this podcast studio, first I want to explain it so they know where I'm at mentally. John painted it

red, like it was red, but he sanded it down and gave it a clean coat. I don't know if I'm high, but like... Then I polyurethaned it. I came in the next day and I gave it like three or four coats of polyurethane. So it is like red and is. I came in the next day and I gave it like three or four coats of polyurethane. So it is like red and perfect. There's not... And it just looks great. It feels good in

your hands as I sit here and I rub my hands around it because it's clean, you know, because it's wipeable. So it's not like the old table, which you could wipe it, but now it's like clean. So I feel great. I think that answered your question as well as the question that you didn't ask.

Are you OCD, Todd? Listen, I told you, shh, not off record. No, what does that mean? Give me a definition. When everything isn't perfect, do you freak out? Well, some people can handle different things of non-perfect. What about dirty? Let's talk dirty. Yeah, I can't handle topically. I need things to be very, very, some people can handle different things of non-perfect. What about dirty? Let's talk dirty. Yeah, I can't handle topically.

I need things to be very, very, very in order. Yeah. Topically. Topical. What's that? So that I can handle that. Like, that I come home and that, you know, I don't care if maybe, oh, I want to, like, do some painting in my living room or maybe my cabinets need to be, you know, some things

need to be, oh, I want to get that sink thing fixed. I can. You're fine with that. I have a list of things, and I'll get them done, and I'll roll through them. As long as in between that period, things are topically pretty much like perfect. And that doesn't mean not lived in, because I want my home to feel lived in. I like people to feel comfortable in my home. So you think, well, how can you be that and still have people comfortable in your home? You're very honest

with them. I tell them exactly how I am, and then I go, but other than that, so I just try to be honest, and so it usually stays topically pretty nice. Because I'm the same way. My house, when I had a house in Kansas City, it was fucking spotless. I'm like, what?

I don't have any guests. I don't normally have that many guests over, but I'm thinking, why does it have to have any guests. I don't normally have that many guests over. I'm thinking, why does it have to be perfectly clean? The chaos. I like the calmness. I like the calmness of... A little bit going out can throw me into a... By the way, I'm not talking about

if something's an inch off. I'm talking about there was doing some work on the house and there was a plumbing that had to be done, so they dug up the whole front yard. So that's a, you know. But hold on, if I did this, I'm going to put, to open this weed,

I'm going to put it everywhere. Does this freak you out? It wouldn't freak me out. What if I just put it? Well, yeah, because that'll never happen. You're just, you know, no one would do that in real life but would someone somebody i'm like what are you talking about but i do want to clean it up yeah okay okay i do want to clean

it up but let's say you go do you mind if i dump this pot out of the table so I can like, I might go get you a plate. And it's not because of the table because I don't give a shit about the table. If someone's going to be making joints all night even with John, we did it tonight in the house. I have him a tray. And in the tray he can have the things he makes the tops with. He can have the, it's just in that tray

it's all the stuff for making a joint and then his grinder and then the lighter. So I'm like, okay, there's that square at the end of the table i'm fine with that well i feel like shit because i'm normally you're fine i rolled a joint yesterday or two days ago and i just didn't yeah i was just fucking just clean that's how i am i'm dirty well you're rolling one joint but it goes everywhere on the table it It doesn't bother me. It just depends. If we're in a party, Todd doesn't normally... He won't stop what he's doing to clean up.

No, I'll let him... What about a heroin then? Yeah, matter of fact, I have a very specific thing. And I like to share it with people because someone sort of taught it to me indirectly. When I used to sort of... After dinner, I would clear the table or certain...

If enough people are going to help you sometimes i very rarely will take help sometimes i will from people hey you need help but uh i was at someone's house and his his girlfriend started clearing the table she goes leave glasses and bottles and i asked her i was like why do you do that she goes well i want to clean up the mess and the napkins and get you know an organ but i want to leave the energy of the night so i'm like oh let's talk about that what is that the night the bottles and the glasses tell a story yeah right it's beautiful yeah all those people and then if you just wipe it off someone comes in 10 minutes later they don't know what this place was like oh it's the energy of the night there's a lot of wine

bottles there there's there's some uh you know there's a lot of beer bottles all over the place this is people have been having a there's you see pot on the table you know there's a lot of beer bottles all over the place this is people have been having there's you see pot on the table you know so what's the difference between that and dirtiness i mean really you know just it's more order for me i'm a clean person i'm not saying i just but it's more the order you know know, the order. Just order. Like where the sofa goes and what's on it. I can't. I don't want like, you know.

But I'm not the only one like that. I can touch shit, though. I don't care about. I'm not a. What about, do you get anxiety when you throw a party? I don't get anxiety, but I get things done way early. Like I'm talking even two, three days I start. Yeah. Setting up, doing it. You know, you I get things done way early. I'm talking even two, three days I start setting up, doing it. You've got to have trash cans everywhere.

That's a big thing to keep it. People will help you police stuff. What's the biggest party you threw at this house? I mean, there was... Any chaos? We had gray out. You know what? We've never had a bad situation happen, but... He used to be known for having huge parties.

Really? Yeah. You know, it's funny when... Like what kind of parties well it's fun i'll say this with my silly dancing yeah just having like sandwiches having made everywhere yeah having like 100 people here having like 100 people and it's funny because i always thought maybe once i wasn't with my ex i would do it more but now i realized it's clean it just it makes sense now well i haven't done as much he was the one that would like let's have a big party and but it's a lot of work and it takes it and he would do it and i'd love them but i wouldn't i could i could do without it because it puts a lot of wear and tear on your house yeah it puts a lot a hundred people party, but you know what? Go back, go back.

How many days a week or a month were you doing these parties? Not that, but it would be maybe three a year. That happens pretty quick. Next thing you know, it's three months later. But we did them at least twice a year. Were there drugs taken? Not anything major, but we had

a camper in the back an old VW camper where the roof went up and that was the room to go smoke pot in so we would pre-roll 50 joints and just have them all over that room and people would go in there and just smoke pot and it was in the backyard we backed it into the backyard, lifted the roof up

what? I would hire a mariachi band to come and just start playing on the roof all of a sudden I'm like, oh my god, look there hire a mariachi band to come and just start playing on the roof. All of a sudden, I'm like, oh my God, look, there's a mariachi band. We had a ladder set up in the back. Really? Yeah, yeah, yeah. We had flashlights.

And they're like, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. Why don't you do it anymore? I'm due to do it. I didn't mean to curse. I'm due to do it. Can I be the band for it? Oh, I would fucking love that. I have my whole band I'm due to do it Can I be the band for it? Oh I would fucking love that I have my whole band

We'll really do it Well do you know how I always thought I would do I was always I always wondered If I did something like that Would I open the door all the way But let the band play still

Like inside Like are you worried about sound? Like can they play outside? Do you have to put them in here? Well that's what I thought I knew in here Then no one would ever call the police. Yeah. Because it's...

What about you just threw a legit house party and the band was in the house? Oh my God. It just did like an old school fucking house party. They don't know what to expect. There's a fucking band in the middle of the living room. Oh, fuck it. Yeah, we got solo Red Cups.

I don't know if there's going to be drinking. Can I tell you something? If I did that, it almost makes me want to just do that because then that's the gimmick of the night.

Like, normally I could not have Red Solo Cups just because they're so... You know, it's like, it's not in an elitist, snooty way. Like, ooh, they're just ugly.

Yeah. I'm trying to deepen my voice to some, it doesn't seem so. They're ugly. No, they're fucking ugly they are ugly like come on like you grew up everyone saw people that had people over their house and some people sort of get it aesthetically and what is that you know it's usually just okay

christmas cup it's easy to get a life is vibe it's a lot well it's all i give a shit about because it's all i care about i feel like. I think you're highly attuned to it. Yeah, it's important. Is vibe important? You know what it is? People. He can read an audience quicker than anybody. Yeah, I feel the same way.

And I think that's being tapped into an energy that everybody kind of is a part of. Yeah. Vibe. Yeah, we'll connect you with people. What's your philosophy on vibe? I mean, you know what? Hold on. Wow, this is good.

Does this have pot in it? Yeah. Oh! Can we talk about how John was too wasted to even know that he bought like an ounce of weed a couple nights ago? Yeah. I don't remember. That pissed you off. Let's talk about that.

Were you frustrated with us getting high? No. And getting fucked up with us getting high? No. And getting fucked up? Nope. No? No. I thought until John, I texted him, and I said, I thought you were in a great headspace. But I knew that I was afraid John was going to fall.

Yeah. Long story. I told him the short story. That's the only reason. So I went in the house because I was afraid he was going to fall. But I thought he was in a great happy because we're vibing we're vibing for and we're bonded and we didn't want to feel like uh we were the atmosphere police no and i hope that you don't because i know you bringing that up might

cause john to have to second what i told him but uh i was i thought it was endearing and i also but i also knew that I was afraid he was going to fall every time he got up so I ended up just going in the house but I was looking at my iPhone but I was you also weren't

you pretty much start sober too yeah we rolled in fucking hot what's up glass no I for me if that would happen to me it's hard to match that energy pretty quick rolled in fucking hot. What's up, glass? No, I... You were high as shit, though. For me, like, if that would happen to me, it's hard to match that energy pretty quick.

Because I knew... Because, like, I knew tonight was going to be the high night, but, like, I was, like, dealing with some shit with my parents, and, like, I needed a buddy to get high with,

so I called John up, and we took... We started... We started the vibe a couple days early but no i thought uh can i talk about how i can never if ever i get too drunk i can never be like happy about it why you overthink it i think so every time that's just me but um do you do that too do you remember your fucking angers do you yeah you do that too? Do you remember your fucking angers? Do you? Yeah, you do.

You just told me that. I try to be honest about what I'm feeling. What about you, Glass? About what? Do you still remember a time where you're just so drunk and you're an asshole and you just still think about it? Because John, I've never seen you be an asshole. John would never, ever be an asshole. I don't think that would... Not in your brain, though.

No, no, no. I mean, I don't ever think asshole. I'm never afraid I'll be an asshole, but, oh, of course I have. What was the worst times? What happened? What happened? I mean, like, you know, not to be...

It's just weird. You know, there's too many. You know, like, where you were... It doesn't have to be major. It's not like John ripped apart the house. He just nights on the road in Helium in Philadelphia where I was like. Drinking too much with your friends? Yeah, just too much.

Did you ever like explode in the crowd? No, but I walked off stage after 30 minutes. No, not far. I wasn't angry. I just thought I was done. You forgot. Does that break you? You still think about that moment?

Yes, I do I think about that moment when I I didn't play in front of like 10,000 people for the first time And I got fucking wasted because I was scared And I was like And you didn't pull it off? I mean, I pulled it off to them But like, you know, we're perfectionists

It's like we're perfectionists. It's like we're a vibe. When I can't control the vibe in the crowd, then I feel like I'm a fucking piece of shit. And I'm blaming it on fucking booze. It's happened to me a couple times. College towns get me

bad. Colleges used to get me too because it's very easy to get influenced, like doing shots at the bar. And by the way, just so I don't sound like woes, I've had so many fucking great nights drinking a little too much and had a fucking ball. But just the nights when it went too much is like, whatever. But I've had a lot of fun.

I used to love drinking. I don't want to glorify it either. Does that sound like I'm glorifying it? I'm not. I get that. I'm just being honest. I just never stopped drinking. But you never did blow or fucking... No, I never did coke.

I thought I might have liked it too much. I got into coke because... I feel like you're a late bloomer as far as drugs. I am. But I'll never do coke When did you start smoking weed? Well heavy Like 30

Like 27 And that meant once a week Maybe At that age once a week So what did you think about drugs? I had an opinion I just coke. I knew that I didn't want to do coke. You know, my brother said,

or my mother, or my father, or my mother, or my father, or my father, he said, I don't know who said it, to be honest. And I know I didn't make it up. How dare you?

All right, back down, everybody. I did not make this up. How dare you? All right, back down, everybody. I did not make this up. How dare you gather around me in a semicircle and bully me admitting that my story was made up. It happened. I was there. I remember it like it was yesterday. How

dare you? You're beaming your eyes at me. I'm fucking judging you, dog. That's the evidence. Now, whataming your eyes at me. I'm fucking judging you, dog. That's the evidence. Now, what about your parents? They said, don't do fucking coke. What was I answering the question to? You never done coke.

Oh, I don't know. Your parents. Whoever said it, somebody said it about themselves, and I related. I don't remember who it was. They go, you know what? It's probably kept me from doing coke more than the social stigma of it he goes i don't want to shove anything up my nose even if it was a vitamin yeah and people go i would oh is there a vitamin i can take it another way i don't want to sniff it up my nose so that's probably and i went you know

what that's chalked me up for that answer too probably what maybe why i stayed away from coke yeah because you know i've heard a lot. There were enough people I knew, overwhelmingly, the people I knew, not the people that the drug, you know, eats you alive or whatever you want to say. But overwhelmingly, most of my friends, I do have a lot. You would think I would be like most of a lot of my friends. I have a lot of friends that go, I did it twice. I did it four times.

You know, now they're like 45 years old. You're like, oh, yeah, I did it twice. I did it four times. Now they're like 45 years old. You're like, oh, yeah, I did it maybe two times or three times. So it's not in the scene? Or is it in the scene? Oh, no, there's people that do coke. I'm just saying you would think I'd at least be someone doing it this long that would say I would have done it two or three times. But I never did.

And it's because of the nose thing. Boring story. No, no, no. This is where, no, no. Have you ever done coke on stage? Yeah, I used to snort it off a whore's ass. No, I never did. I said I didn't do coke.

Do you feel like it lost control? It makes you lose control? Who what? You know, you talk about vibe. You talk about vibe. Like, no, no. Like, if you did coke on stage... Not on stage.

Sorry. I've done coke on stage. It was a horrible idea but but i talk about if you do coke while performing do you think like you feel like you lose the i've never done it so how would i know okay stupid i did it and it it i i'll go into autopilot you've never you never had it offered to you though oh yeah but not a a lot either. That's the hard part for me. Like, I'll do anything if anybody offers it. So that scene wasn't, like, blowing rails before? Well, I don't think I'm talking for the scene, because, you know,

you create this as you go through any of these. No, as you're getting really successful. And as, like, what years was the fucking touring pinnacle? I think it's, there's, like, you go through a period of time, and there's more than one way to go through it. So I think for anybody that wanted to do coke, I guess you hear stories. I wasn't ever submerged in it, but in the 80s, there was a, but I think maybe in the 80s, but that's with everything, isn't it?

Wasn't there a lot more coke going around just in the 80s overwhelmingly? Yeah, coke is everywhere. I mean, I'm in every show. Are you a cop? Be honest. No, no, I'm serious. Andy, you have to admit it if you are, and I've seen these detective movies, so I know.

Are you a cop? Because right now, wait, why do you have a badge? Oh my God, Andy's got a police uniform under that trash. This could be the perfect narc situation because you came to me like, you know, like,

find Andy Fresco. It's, like, find Andy Frasco. Find Andy Frasco. So what if the cops came and like, I'm Andy Frasco. Talk and talk and talk. And then they go, boom. I'm Andy Frasco. Yo, yo, I need some coke right now. You cheat on your taxes? Keep them going.

They're in the truck at an earpiece. No, seriously. You do coke. You still do coke once in a while, though, right? I've only done coke. Yeah. I'm the worst detective. Even in the truck, they're going, I'm the guy that in the truck, they go,

all right, don't push him. Now you're leading the witness. I'm that guy. Here we go back. Yeah, but you sort of never say you do it recently. I really get you to admit it. But you've done coke like in the last week, right? Yeah, I've done coke.

Yeah, like today, right? Today, right? Right now, you're coked up, right? This coke? I'd be freaked out, though. Because like, but that's how detectives are, though, right? Well, I guess there's that. I watched a documentary about that.

You did? Leading the Witness? No, it was... No, what's the talk about that? Leading the Witness? Is that a thing? Is that a movie? Well, that's what I was doing if I was doing it.

Like, you're a detective, and I picture them in the van. For that last bit, I pictured them in the van, and you're the detective in the room. Yeah, you're trying to get them to talk, but you can't. But what's no different from a detective? In real life, a detective would just do that. But I was doing a character of one of those detectives.

But aren't we detectives? What are you talking about? You know what? Get him a Pepto-Bismol. His stomach is bothering him. Really, Todd? We're entertainers. Entertainers are detectives. Everybody is, aren't they? We're forcing them to laugh. We're forcing them to Entertainers are detectives. Well, everybody is, aren't they? We're forcing them to laugh.

We're forcing them to have a good time. No, not my audience. I don't force them to do shit. Really? No, I'm kidding. I got you, though. Yo, this is the best idea ever. Good job.

Listen. Give me some acting advice. I brought in a hot fudge sundae bar backed in on this pickup truck. Can I be real with you? I'm going to show up right now to have ice cream out there. Scooby. Can I be real with you, Todd?

You want to know the best moments of my life was? Involved ice cream. Yeah, involved the ice cream sandwich joined after your podcast. But like how you opened our fucking podcast is one of the happiest moments I've ever been. Thank you. Because you know what?

Once in a while, I'll go back and watch that footage. I was joyfully happy. And you know what? It came across, which then it made me like really be happy because we wanted to make you feel like you come into this studio which we're in right now and i wanted to be like we did talked about this yeah good get me to no no but talk like i mean like uh so we've done this podcast a lot. There's a certain vibe and some guests come in here and they really get the vibe. They really like.

And when they get the vibe, then we're able to do a really better show based on them getting the vibe. And then they see us doing it better and they do better. It just goes up and up. You came in and just got the vibes. But not only got it, but you also genuinely, genuinely appreciate it. And that made us really happy. Did you ever hear any guys are like, fuck this? No.

No, but it's always... Everyone just comes... Everybody loves it, but some people love it. I wish. I wish there was one guy. My show is like... Yo, fuck these enthusiastic guys. No one's ever complained.

Jesus. Can you imagine? This is where you drag me in the back of your house? All right, you own a home. You don't got to rub it in our face. This is a mini mansion. People called my house a mini mansion, and I'm not going to fucking back down on that.

I didn't come up with that phrase. I'm not sick in my head. If I remember correctly. You're almost Kindler. You think people are like, Oh, my God, I'm turning into Andy Kindler. Or a remember correctly. You're almost Kindler. Oh my god, I'm turning into Andy Kindler. Or a third thing.

Ah! You're fucking terrible. That's what I love. What do you love? That technically was a home run. And Todd does that from time to time. No laughing.

Are you the party's party? What type of atmosphere do you think I have where I would tell you not to laugh? I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell. I don't want to yell. You don't have to yell. Shhh to me.

Shhh to me. How's everyone feeling? 1.5. How we feeling? Shhh to me. Shhh to me. Shhh to me. We high? Shush to me. Shush to me. Shush to me. Not to you guys. I want you to have fun.

But I got to shut up. Why? I get in the way of just having a good time. I am very, very high. I'm very high, too. I should calm down for a while or just be who I am? No, just be who you are. Am I scared to be this high?

Because I have to hide it? So let's say I didn't have to hide it. Oh, hi. Hey, Todd. Hi. Have you ever... Oh, what? What?

I'm just talking. I can't just talk? I don't think that takes a lot of work. So I could be high but still talk. Why do you think when we become high that we become like aliens? We don't. See, that proves

I'm aware. What if I just went, well, aliens in the first degree. I'd be like, that's not true. Next question. You did get us. What do you mean? I mean that, like, when I get high,

I start, like, looking further away. Further away where? Florida? Florida, yeah. Come on, I'm funny, everybody. Give it up! I don't, you know, I just... To me, I'm always working the room. You know, I'm treating this as a room

and be a good crowd or a bad crowd. Have you ever worked a room that didn't work? Of course. What was the worst one? You know how it is. There's no really worst one. It's just a barrage of what you love. A memory of what you love.

What do you remember the worst gig? The worst fucking gig? You don't have to name two. No, I don't even... Because you know what? It was a slow change. A lot of the clubs now that you remember with bad sort of... At the time, you enjoyed it.

Because you didn't know. And then you get to the point where maybe you do know. You never had a bad gig? Of course. What was the worst gig? There's no the worst. Really? Yeah, there's no the.

You know how it is. If somebody goes, what's your worst night on music? You go, oh, it's just like a type. Yeah, the type of night. The type of night. But no individual. Just the type.

What type of night? The more they pay attention, the more they value the show, the more it's going to be the type of night that you want, where there's just a well-trained audience and a great comedy club that puts up with no shit. There's the memory of that, and that is like the memory of helium. All the good audiences get lumped into a good energy, which is valuable. I'm not saying I remember every single good crowd individually,

but as a group, I do. I know when I go to Philadelphia, the masses that will come will be pretty cool. What about what's the most important gig? I performed for the President of the United States. When? I went up to him. I said, listen, Trump.

You're fucking lying. I did a show two weeks the President of the United States. When? And I went up to him. I said, listen, Trump. You're fucking lying. I did a show two weeks ago. I swear to God. I swear to God. What am I, sick in my head? I'm talking about what's the most important. I did a show for Donald Trump. Did you read the paper?

Have you been turned off from the internet, Andy? I'm being serious. No. I pulled Donald Trump's hairpiece off. It's national TV last night that's why i thought you guys were fucking with me no you guys i think didn't you see it on the news i grabbed hold i can't believe you don't know this this is so weird we're gonna go into the house or turn on your phones right now if you want i'll give you permission it's gone we're

fucking i grabbed his hair i got close and i thought i could get it secret service is right to the right there to the left i didn't want to do anything except just grab his hair. That's all I wanted. And that's all that happened. I went in, I grabbed, they tried to get me off of him, but it pulled and he screamed. He was like, ah! And it was a one 10 foot long piece of shit hair. No life in it.

After a while, it needs to be trimmed the dead off of it. It's just a big spiraled up cotton candy of a... Glass, pay attention. Pay attention. Now I'm in jail. I'm calling you to bring my blender. I'm bringing the blender. Just answer this goddamn question.

What was the most important gig of your life? There isn't one. You think I'm asking you my questions, Vanilla. I'm answering your questions honestly. Other than that, you'll know I'm full of shit. I start going, well, the most important one was, it's the same thing. It's 60 important ones. Okay, what is the theme of an important gig?

Oh, good question. That's all I wanted to say my whole life so i was just leading him up to it i didn't want to do it i didn't want him to do it for a bad question you're smarter than all of us listen here's this what is the theme we have to take a break i'd have to milk it out uh people say can i tell you what people say i have good thing. To taking something and not letting it happen right away. Let there be some anticipation. And then the buildup. The buildup ends up being so much fun. That's the part we're at right now.

I know. Why is my voice going down? For what? It's a half commitment to what I'm doing. I'm bailing out. My voice is bailing out. What's important? But I'm still plowing ahead with the mobility of it.

Todd. Come on, everybody. There's something funny here. Seriously, I mean, I'm going to re-listen to it, and I'll be real pissed off if everybody was missing my great hits. Todd, pay attention. Yes, sir. What is the theme of a good day

Oh well sir Vinny not funny to you I'm really just trying to get Vinny to laugh But he's not laughing I'm not happy Well I need more than that Turn it up a little Turn it up like we practice When I'm insecure and you have to really

What if we had actually a mode we turned it up to Vinny's like get out of here Get out of... What if we had actually a mode we turned it up to? Vinny's like, get out of here! Get out of here! All right, listen. Don't do a joke, because it'll make me get sick in my stomach. All right, let's talk about this post. What do you love about Vinny? Oh, stop.

What is this? A Oprah Winfrey... I told you I was going to fucking Oprah you. Todd, you want to... I'll edit that out. They'll never know about it. No, I'll leave it in, because I'm honest. Todd, you want to edit that out. They'll never know about it. I'll leave it in because I'm honest. Be honest. Let's move on.

Talk about other things. I'm not. The producers told me they don't want any of that stuff talked about. And that's not me. I swear to God. The producers. John, please help me here. What did the producers say about wanting me

to talk about my relationship which which i do reference what did they say and you know it's true and don't please leave me hanging oh it uh so a lot of our affiliates and their sponsors they want they they have a certain brand it's like a party boy thank you so they're gonna pull out they're gonna pull but literally i feel like i got us into a bit. Thank you for what you did. I'm high, but still caring. I would never want to pull anyone into a shitty bit. So right there, you did a great job.

Boom, the wall. I thought you were going for a high five. Then something happened from here on. My responsibility, I don't know what happened. I'm going to put this pot out. I think I've had enough. Wow. See, this is all we needed

was one and a half. I think I'm too high. No. I think the pot did it over the top and I forgot about the mushrooms. It's only one and a half. You're fine. You're overthinking it.

You need to talk it out. Own it. Own it. Own it. Can I get some reverb? Get some reverb. Is this bad? If it doesn't do anything for my high, I'm not going to just do it. Do it. Just some reverb. Is this bad? If it doesn't do anything for my high,

I'm not going to just do it. Do it, do it. Just do it. Hold on. Get the mic on. Turn the mic on. I have it on. We're going to take this

mushroom experience to another level with louder voices. It adds something to it. It goes a long way. People go, oh, so what? Your voice is amplified. You can't do it at your house. If you can,

we'll have fun with us. I'm not out to get anybody, but certainly it seems like things are happening. Our heads are hearing things in a different way. Woo! I'm on mushrooms.

If you had to make a bit right now, what would it be? What's that song that I've been wanting to do lately? Yeah, I have a song. I know I have it too. Oh, look at this. Is this your live video? Watch this.

I have to keep it low. Look at this, Andy at this. I'm really going to go. Is this your live video? Watch this. I have to keep it low. I fucking love it. Look at this, Andy. Look. Look. There we go. I think we have the sound. Just the sound of it. Wow.

Forget about everything that happened in the past. Just now I'm all real. I'm all me now. You get it? Like, don't think about what all happened. Just picture I'm out here in a suit. It's all ass. Just I'm in a fucking I'm all me now. You get it? Like, don't think about what I'll have. Just picture I'm out here in a suit. It's all ass. Just I'm in a fucking suit.

It looks good. This could happen. It's not me going, oh, what if I took singing lessons? I'm not going to. But I'm in a suit and it's fitted and I have a band. Maybe even one guy on a saxophone. I don't have him here tonight. You're going to know what I'm talking about.

I think I can pull it off. Never know how much I love you. Boom! But I need the boom. I'm not saying my voice is so great, but I'm saying if I have the boom, never, you just got to be able to go to this point.

Boom. Never know how much I love you. Ooh. Never know how much I care. After that, I'm done. And I put the mic back in the stand, and I bow graciously. I'm just afraid I'm going to fall. It's not a good, it's not a very good, secure feeling.

You don't see a performer. When you put your arms around me, you got the feeling that you can't. Oh, oops. But how do you finish the pitch, Todd? Yeah, yeah, you're real secure on your foot. Any good performer walks around the crowd like they own it. They're not like, oh, is there a place I could maybe trip?

When you put your arms around me, oh, I better not come over to the dark area. Because I'm going to, you know, I don't know. They don't. They come on when you put your, because they're on a goddamn stage and they know there's nothing in their way. It's the way they walk every night. So they walk with confidence. And if they go into the crowd, there's 20 people pushing people out of the way. You know, they act like they don't want it, but they walk with confidence. And if they go into the crowd, there's 20 people pushing people out of the way. They act like they don't want it, but they've hired them. Hey, let the star through! Move aside!

Come on, put some gates up! Move these people back! Yo! You should be the Tom... Dude, Tom Waits. You know Tom Waits? I want to do a dance. I've Tom Waits. You know Tom Waits? Break it down.

Cut this down. Play Tom Waits. You know Tom Waits? Yes, you can play Tom Waits. Of course. Not that I have to give permission, even. That's why you don't record. That's vulnerability. I know.

I just got really high. And that was fun. I was laughing. Everyone was laughing. But then I saw the look on those kids' faces. No, no. I didn't want to tell the listening audience what's going on. We have some children here tonight from local...

Go back to vulnerability. Vulnerability. So I got really silly. Go back to it. I did. I went back and I was having a good time. You know what happens when I go, okay, I haven't checked in with reality in a while. Let's see if every... Is this going to be okay to do this in public? Yeah.

Come on! I think so. Yeah, you get silly, you get vulnerable, you let your guard down. I wish I could be that fearless. Oh, shut up. You go fucked in. You go all fucked up on stage doing mushrooms, crowd surfing. Don't hand me no shit.

No, but I'm more. You know I'm kidding, by the way, don't you? Of course I know. Thank you. I know you shouldn't check in. It's not healthy to check in, but I'd rather be on the safe side. Glass. Okay, back to our shit.

Don't. Don't let it influence you. We just check in to say we're good. You go, of course, of course. Move right back. Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go. We don't slow down. Talk to me about vulnerability.

Vulnerability. You know, it's funny. What is the most vulnerable thing to you? Andrew? Yeah. Is that you? Yeah. What's your name?

Andrew. Oh, Andrew. Oh, you motherfucker. That way I can't do the bit because you accept. You go, you want to call me Andrew? My name's Andrew. Then how am I going to do the bit where I act like not doing it wrong is no big deal? Listen, here's the thing, Andrew.

And then you go, yeah, what is the thing? Shit. Backfires. That's why I never do bits. Never know where the audience is going to go. Let's talk about bits. You don't know. You don't know.

See if the band can just come in. Do you wish you had a band with you all the time? Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Why? Oh, it's just a fantasy. I'm doing in my real career, you could say, is that's what I really fucking want to do,

especially next year, you know, John going on all the dates. That's a fantasy. But then the other fantasy is the it's and that's and that's a good one to have there's some things i want to do there's some goals i want to reach and where i want to take the show to but it's a realistic one that i'm in control of it i'm in control of all the things that i want to go better can go better we're not not a lot of outside forces yeah because they're you know why why have those in your real plan

what you want to do because they you know but then there i do on a fun go down that path and down that path oh yeah you win the 60 million dollar lottery and i don't mean spending money that i don't think would come back and give pay myself back yeah yeah because i think it would i'm not talking oh if i didn't just care about blowing it but yeah if i would want it to still be able to support itself and i would i just do like a nine piece band just go on the tour boss do you have enough money to live how much fun that would be to have that many people with you? Why are you restricting yourself? You always talk with no accountability.

I'm talking, where's the money? I have to, what do you want? I can't. No, but did you make yourself a life where you can afford doing comedy for this long? You have. Yeah, yeah. You did this. I'm doing comedy for this long. You have. Yeah, yeah. You did this. I'm not complaining. I know.

You're not complaining at all. I'm talking about how can we expand on the dream? Don't let you feel stranded. The music, I'm doing it. I'm doing it. Okay. I'm doing a version of it, but I'm saying the version of it can't be like, oh, if I won $13 million, because that's not, so then have a uh now can you have still have a dream

but it's a dream within your bounds of what you can control that's still dreaming because it still takes organization it still takes planning things out and getting them all in line and but but it's that one is where i spend a lot of the time that's what i need does that make sense that totally makes sense because that's i i think, like you said, I think really big and I get sad when I, when I. But you can do both. How do I think? You stop yourself and do sort of, look, maybe so be it too. I think maybe my way is a good way to do it.

Stop yourself because you want to have now some goals and things you, you know, you can call them dreams, whatever you want to call them. But it doesn't, it lets you set a hard line of then... Because I think the other, even though it might never happen, it's still fun to do. And I don't fucking know. I'm just guessing that it's healthy and good to then have the, what if you won the $60 million lottery talk? Because then it

separates it from... But what if... Does that make sense? I think it does. It does. But I... i was just tripping out because sometimes when i trip when i ask questions this is a very good experiment for me because like it pay it makes me have to listen through the whole thing and then interview you through the concept you're talking about i like talking about anything so for me doing a podcast is the same as if i wasn't doing it yeah that's all i have to do is ask people to

remind people though well the difference is now john he has to remind that he can talk anytime he wants on the podcast i think sometimes there's a different lay of the land he can talk on the podcast anytime he wants to but he just knows when to pull in, when to pull out. As long as we know it's not that. Because it would get boring. I've got to stop overthinking. Do you overthink, Todd? I'm going to have to turn to John on this one.

What if I turned you in an uncomfortable way? Now, John had a funny thing happen. I'll field this one. Todd has been very nice. No, no, no. I know the callers What is it like being someone over 50 That does comedy

You know what I know it seems weird But I'm going to let John Ask this Todd normally does like talking a lot So it is like a podcast all the time But we just talked about energy earlier And it's the trick From getting him

Free flowing good podcast in the living room to that here and like it it's a trick to get it without like the energy getting like i don't know ruined in a way so yeah that's all but yeah it's uh is that vinny well vinny gets hurt he said i don't like it when you're like blah blah blah I think this I think this he said to me once he goes how much can I listen I'm trying to relax you go oh come on into the podcast studio it's a good energy I did I was laying in the corner I was getting into it nice vibes you see so I was last year he told me he goes he goes I remember it smelled like Christmas in there it was a pleasant energy to be in.

But he goes, Todd, after one, after another, I'm sorry, I don't want to hear you talk about why you don't like mayonnaise. Do you remember you said that? You said, I'm sorry if I'm wrong, that I don't want to hear you talk about why you don't like mayonnaise for 30 minutes. Hey, I didn't know there were rules how long I could talk about. Do you believe any of that story's true? On to George Carlin

on your health. Do you think any of that story's true? Kind of. None of it is. Really? All you had to do was answer honestly. So you couldn't go wrong. No, I think sometimes Do you think you're hard on Vinny sometimes? What the fuck are you talking about?

I just won an award for being the nicest person to do the opposite of the Andy Frasco question. No, no. This is a real award. What it is, they go, Andy Frasco will ask the question, and then it's up there. They write it in. And then I...

You wanted this, Todd. Come on. Let's go. I still do. I got lost and I hate it because I wanted to go somewhere so bad. No, not in a silly world. I got lost a couple times. It's okay. I should shut up a little. Maybe enjoy my high. Let my high be not so...

I talk to myself, not to you. I'm not shushing you. I'm shushing me. Just remember that. Otherwise, that starts a whole story. I think that's something to know about Todd, too. You think out loud. You think out loud?

Yeah. What do you... What's the worst thing you thought out loud? What's the worst thing you ever thought and you said it out loud yeah what do you what's the worst thing you thought out loud what's the worst thing you ever thought and you said it out loud i'm not gonna i know it's i'm not this isn't gonna make me look good but i'm sorry i had a lot to drink and and i was And I was, ooh. Ooh. What happened? And you know me. I'm a socially. I like change. But I got a little too.

What were you saying? Get to the point. And some feelings I had. Yeah. And I was in a football game. And I died. Now, you think that's where my good comedy ends. That's where

my good comedy ends. And if you're really doing that bit for the right reason, you don't need to go down that path. That's right, I win in the court of law. Ty Glass was found non-guilty of taking a premise

and jib-jabbering it one way, then jib jabbering it the other way. And next thing you know, you're doing something, taking people down a path of not the good thing. You're mocking it for the right reason, or you're poking at it for the wrong. And I won the award never to cross the line of doing it in a good way. Thank you all so much. I never thought that's the award I wanted.

That is the award that I wanted. Way to go, Todd. Way to go, Todd. Way to go, Todd. Wow, you won that award, dog. Thank you. God bless you for playing along. You really, the bit became a lot of fun.

I don't want to talk about it. Do you always just have bits in your head all the time? Are you crazy? Do you know Eleanor Roosevelt? Roosevelt. Who is it, John? I don't know what you're asking. Eleanor Roosevelt.

Who was one of the presidents? Roosevelt? Theodore? Theodore Roosevelt. What was his wife's name? I think you had it right. Eleanor. Eleanor.

Eleanor Roosevelt. What about Eleanor? I don't know anything about her. I wanted to know maybe if you knew something about her. Okay. God damn it, Todd. You're impossible to interview. Get back in here.

You gave me an open book. No, you're not. Yes, I am. Matter of fact, I have a book. It's called The Todd Glass Situation. I fucking hate you, Glass. No, I think I'll talk about anything. No, you won't. I get afraid to be'll talk about anything. No, you won't.

I get afraid to be too sanctimonious. No, you're worried about when it's fucking recorded. Okay, give me a question. Watch this. There's nothing. Okay. Tell me what you love about Vinny. Oh, why do you have to go down that path?

Except that. Well, because that, Vinny is very private. Even once in a while, I have to edit it out. I don't put it on video. Vinny, are you private about this? He has a lawsuit pending in Florida. He was on a petting zoo. He didn't, they said he pet a pet canary inappropriately.

What? So he's, yes, he can't have his license. So he's sort of not hiding from the law, but in a funny way, doesn't like to get in their face he goes because guys like me they'll they pull up he goes if you pull a guy like me over they'll let you go if it's just a minor traffic accident because i don't want to get you know get in the cop's faces but his life has been give her i do this a lot and i said the last time it happened you're the king of deflecting you are the the king of deflecting.

How good am I if you're calling me on it? So basically what you're saying is, oh, try again, glass. Come on, try again. Right in my face. Try again, glass. That's right. Come on. I'll bat you down one more time.

Because I'm shy, probably. Why are you shy? Well, everybody is. See, if you're honest, you can get back to you, probably. Why are you shy? Well, everybody is. See, if you're honest, you can get back to you in punches. Why are you shy? Listen here, buddy. What are you shy about? Who isn't? It's a normal... That makes so much sense now.

It makes sense. Shy? I'm pretty shy, too. So why do we play these characters? By the way, I will say, anytime you can break down more walls, good. But I think I'm at a pretty healthy place like not am i afraid to ever reference vinny on the show i know people know the situation but when you ask you a very specific question the existence of him of course people that listen to the show no uh but the specific question of what do you love about him probably get yeah you get like oh

i haven't been that personal. So, maybe sometimes for a good reason. No, maybe not a good reason. Are you scared and vulnerable? Listen. You swear you won't tell anybody? You swear to fuck, do you swear to fucking God?

Andy. Talk to me, Glass. Are you scared and vulnerable? You swear to God. Don't deflect me right now, Glass. No, I'm not. I am not. I'm seeing you, and you're fucking deflecting. You think I am.

I'm going to get one fucking... You think I am, I know, but I'm here to answer the questions. But Andy, you got to trust me. Okay. You got to fucking trust me. Okay, I trust you. I'm not deflecting. You promise? Oh, I trust you. I'm not deflecting. You promise?

Oh, oh. You know, he did promise. I don't know if that means anything anymore. For that reason, I'm going to come to. I probably have to wake myself up. That means remind yourself of the bit. Give Andy what he wants. Why don't... Because he's kind. He's

nice. He's funny. He looks better than most people. I don't want some ugly dog going out with them. I feel you. By the way, look at me. He's a good looking man.

I'm allowed to say that because I don't walk, no one looks at me when I walk down the street, so that says everything. That's bullshit. So I, well, unless they recognize me, then they chase me for blocks. Get the fuck out. Really. Stop being insecure about yourself. Well, it depends where I walk.

If I walk where people. Why are you being so insecure? I'm talking about where I walk when I like what the other people look like that are walking. Of course, I could walk into the drugs of society and be amongst these regular people. And, of course, make everything I say sound nice and gentle. That way it gives people the, like, they don't mind saying it. Of course, if I have to be with the drugs of society, thank you. People don't take it the wrong way.

Is everything I'm saying okay? Yes, of course. That should be the name of my show. But, Glass, tell me. Why is it hard to be vulnerable for you? Isn't it hard for you? I'm going to answer the question. I'm not going to make... You're right. You said this in the beginning

of the fucking show. I know you're right. That podcast make you vulnerable, and you ain't said shit. Tell me something. Well, can I tell you something? You think I'm deflecting, but I admire you for sticking to your guns. You sold me on why it's worth talking about. What? You sold.

Well, that's what I'm going to answer. I'm going to break down what's uncomfortable, and I thought I just did this a minute ago, to be honest. You didn't. Yeah, I did. I said I started listing the reasons that are, I might have. Oh, I might. Guess what?

Not that there has to be a winner, but when there is, it's a bonus. I think we can all agree. We are here for better than wanting to win. But if in the little thing, if there was a contest, I think I would win it. Out of nowhere, getting to the point that I think you want to get to, I said he's funny, he's kind, he's nice. I started to list the reasons. And I...

Todd. Can I tell you the problem? I just want to say... Yes. Go ahead. You deserve love. I thank ahead. You deserve love. I thank you. You deserve love, goddammit.

Thank you very much. We all deserve love. Vinny. And by the way... John. You deserve love. Thank you. Seriously.

And can I tell you something? If it makes you feel better? Yes. No, but not... Hey, you can always get more love. But I'm talking about overwhelmingly in life, I feel loved. That's just a simple question to ask yourself. Do you feel Vinny's love?

Yes. All of it? Of course. Why don't you stop turning it into one of your dirty movies? I know I'm deflecting, but I'm also not deflecting. Maybe I deflect and then I answer, then I deflect and then I answer then i deflect and then i answer that's that's i think i do both i think i do both i get ready i want to think the answer

through you know so i boom throw out something funny and then i answer genuinely and i think i do i think in court of law and that's where i'm thinking this is going to end up that's why i'm being very to the book i think that i serve the decent at least 30% of the time being genuine in my answer and giving you the honest truth. Then I would make some jokes. That's up to the listener. I like to sing you a song, Todd.

You like to sing me a song? I'd like to sing. Thank you. Can we get some reverb? Because if I'm going to do it, I'm going to do it right. You play the guitar, John, don't you? John, you want to play a song?

Wow, I need some water. Thank thank you so so much for this water i need some water i don't know how to do oh my god i don't know how to do reverb as i was drinking the water i swear to god i'm being honest honest with my thought i thought yeah everyone knows what it's like to want water but i was drinking it it like, oh my God, this is it. And I thought, you're on mushrooms. And you haven't had water in 10 minutes or 15 minutes. How long have we been recording? How long do you think we've been recording? Oh my God, 20 minutes. I'm thinking 17 minutes.

No, I'm thinking two hours. No, shut up. It's got to be two hours. Two hours. I'm thinking two hours. You said 17? Okay, obviously, I want to stick to what I said, but I'm going to change my answer. But it's with more perspective.

Listening to what you said, I took a wider stance and I went, okay, you've been in that conversation. It goes quick. But you guys think it's been like, what, an hour and a half? I tried to look at it from that perspective and got sold on it instantly. And I went, oh, yeah, because Vinny came in, then he left, and then we talked about that. Time goes on. What's the time, Glass?

Oh, I love it. I'm so glad we recorded it because it will finally give us an answer. Usually we go, how long was it? We'll never know. And we don't because the night is just left into the – That's my mushroom experience recorded for science. And we're part of the acid test. And the memory.

So I say an hour and a half. Hour and a half? Yes, take now with another... I say 17 minutes. Ha ha! You hear this, Todd? All right. Okay, I stole from Vinny.

I have to be honest. I heard him say it and I went, he's probably right, so can I change my answer if I'm not allowed to change my answer I don't think the age is going to blow your mind it's been an hour it's been what?

it's been an hour well it blows my mind isn't it amazing how Mushroom just like take away time what is time you want some reverb non-existent Isn't it amazing how mushrooms just take away time? What is time? You want some reverb? It's non-existent.

Yeah, man. It's non-existent? We made it up. Man made it up because we have to get airplanes to places on time. It makes sense, but it's not a thing that exists in the universe. Let's turn that off. Oh, yes. Thank you, John, for being you.

Let's put on interesting things again. Andy, that was... Do you want to watch the Tom Williams thing that you played? Yeah, let's do Tom. Can we watch it as we listen? That was... That was really... I went through a very

silly... silly rant there. Something happened. Something took over my body. Oh my God, what is this? I need something to eat. Is that wrong? Can you pause this? I really want to give this guy my 100% attention.

Tom Waits, you're saying? Of course I know of Tom Waits, but I'm not very familiar with some of the work. You know, like listening to it in any in any uh you know just it was sort of so uh so i want to give it 100 percent um what how how old he died right yeah we should put on when did he die put on younger tom no he's no he's still alive he's still alive i've recorded the studio fine i don't like to ask ever if somebody is not here when they're here.

I feel like it's... Why? So I'll make that edit. Because I don't know. He just... When I'm feeling great, I don't want anyone to be ever talking one day.

I'm just dead to them. Oh, he just died. You say it in passing, but if it ever gets in someone's ears, they're like... Oh, now there's no reason to edit it.

You're right. So anyway, he's alive. He's alive. Wait, hold on. Somebody's saying in my ear. What if I take the joke back again's alive. He's alive. Wait, hold on. We've got somebody saying in my ear, what if I take the joke back again? Boom. Now that I'll do in a respectful way. Bounce it around a little bit.

But it all comes from a place of fucking love and respect of the performer. What would the joke be? That I go, oh, really? Well, no, I don't want it. That I do. What would the joke be if you had to reverse it? No, but I did hear he's dead. No, he's not. Get it. That's the bad. That's what you don't want to do. What would a joke be if you had to reverse it? No, but I did hear he's dead. No, he's not.

Get it. That's the bad. That's what you don't want to do. But I did it because I think it showed you. No, I own it. Oh, what the fuck is going on? With me. Guess what?

All that energy, you know what that was about? The choice. I swear to George Carlin. That's my safe word. I yelled pretty loud. Would you say? Yeah. Oh, that wasn't that bad?

Oh, shit. I feel better. I thought I screamed like so loud and angry. And I was going to say in the... Yeah. Yo, Tom Waits is tripping me out. Watch this. Oh, I want to watch him and give him 100%.

I need something to eat. You want to eat something? I need something. Do you have any candy or something? What if I try to get it? I think you're just... I'm faking it. No, no.

Hi. Hi, dude. By the way, the listening audience, I'm like fanning myself. Like you're claiming you need something sweet. More than just because it tastes fucking good oh god i better sit down on this bench because then you think people are gonna get it get them a piece of carrot cake you know what it is he's having a sweet attack and not have he's because i thought attack from not having enough sweets oh thanks man he's having

and get him licorice and get him, get him, get him fucking right now. Please, please run the bonds separately.

We'd rather have too much than not enough and definitely get spice drops. For whatever reason, sometimes spice drops can really just make you feel good. They last a while, they're good. get spice drops for whatever reason sometimes spice drops can really just make you feel good they last a while they're good get spice drops wow i'm fucking and i'm gonna and the same thing with this water back talking full circle this is not my water bottle this is

your water bottle and i really am dying for water you know know, this is great. This is a great experiment. I'm an experiment? Oh my God, that's all your... Oh my God, I'm just an experiment to you. I knew it, Vinny. You were right. He said he was just an experiment to you.

Ah! Why, God, why? I knew it. We're just an experiment to Uncle Andy. We thought Uncle Andy cared about us. Uncle Andy. Uncle Andy, he comes over and he has a nice car and he lets you sit in it. You know that fun uncle. That fun uncle. He lets you sit in it. You know that fun uncle.

That fun uncle. He lets you sit behind the driver's seat. No, the fun uncle. Lean on my car. You guys will never be able to afford a car like this. Would you like to lean on my Lincoln and take a picture on me, baby? Would you like to hold one of my big cigars?

It's funny because you're eight years old and ah you shouldn't smoke a cigar so hold one of my cigars we'll make the picture guaranteed funny because you'll be holding one of my cigars and you're and you're and you're not obviously someone who smokes a cigar put it to your mouth act like you're smoking a cigar to be with. I don't know. What's the big about it? How are you so quick? Oh, shush. Seriously. Now you jinxed it for me.

Ah, what do I say to that answer? Oh, God. That's why you never want to answer that question, Andy. Yeah. Because then the person goes to think about why. It throws them. They break their ankle. Oh!

Oh! What happened? Yes, me. Yes, me. Yes, me! What did he ask me? Oh, I'm sorry. I was actually just thinking about how I think you're a being who's constantly

in the moment. You're the most present person I know. And you're so present, you can't even really think about it. Yeah, you're so present, you're it's crazy. Thank you. I try. It's funner that way, right? Do you think you're so present, you can't even really think about it. Yeah, you're so present, you're in... It's crazy. Thank you. I try. Isn't that better?

It's funner that way, right? Do you think you're not present? Or do you know you're present? No, I try to be present, but doesn't everybody... Can you see everyone's... Like, he doesn't see... Okay, no, let's go. Okay, let's... This same philosophy.

You're on stage. I try to be present. I hope I am. Am I? Thank you. You're on... Okay. Thank you.

I take this as a compliment. Glass, glass, glass. Focus, focus, focus. To me. Show to me. Okay. You're on stage. To me. To me. Glass, glass. You're on. Okay. Thank you. I take it as a compliment. Pay attention. Focus, focus, focus. To me. Show to me. Okay. You're on stage. To me.

To me. Glass, Glass, you're on stage. Great. Me. Okay. Glass. Glass, you're on stage. Glass, you're on stage.

Glass, you're a joke, but before that. Pay attention. Yes, yes, yes, sir. Glass, you're on stage. Okay. How many, you could see there's 200 people in the crowd. How many, how many smiles and how many frowns can you see in a crowd before you start the show? What do you mean?

Like when you're present. Right when you're about to show. You talk about vibe. So if you're in the crowd. If I don't get quiet, I want to answer your question. I see your vibe. You fucking do your show. You do the vocal thing. Before the thing, it's brilliant. I love that.

Get the vibe going. So when you're on the crowd, and before you start your bit, and you're seeing your crowd, seeing who you're entertaining. On the pre-show announcement you're talking about? No, no, when it's your time to shine. When it's your show. So don't you see your crowd and see what you're trying to do? Or do you have a set list every night?

Like, I'm going to do this whole thing if they like it or not. Do you feel the crowd? No, I have a, it's more of an energy because sometimes you haven't even done a joke yet. Yeah. And so I'll know earlier, like it used to be, well, you have to wait until you do a joke to see if they like the joke. You know, and then you'll know. You hope they're a good crowd. They're sitting there. They look like they're having a good time and they're no one's

yelling out there's no rowdy tables everything everyone's come in it looks like well is it that's what you're hoping for right yeah and then um uh when you're going to the crowd like like how do you know what the pick like if you're seeing your crowd if it's like a bunch of frat kids you're playing a college guy are are you going to play your set, or are you going to, like, kind of adapt to the crowd? Oh, no, I mean, you get to the point with, I'm trying to really give you clean answers. Okay.

At most of the point, that is not going to happen. Like, luckily, you get to a point, same probably in music venues, where you're not around those disobedient audiences. It doesn't mean in that area there's wiggle room that even with the best crowds in the world, there's still someone policing the audience and there's still problems to be had, even in the most policed audience, in the most civil audience of the theater that really

runs it well, or whatever the comedy club is. There's still going to be some wiggle room, but I'll never be in a situation where people are like, oh, you suck, and everyone just may have known. You know what I mean? So when it's bad, it's you know when i say it's bad it's because i didn't like them yeah you know they're always saying they don't like you which i get it you know they're they're hoping they'll like you i'm hoping i like you i have a moment in my band i remember this

rest of my life i was like because i was i was like into it. I was talking a lot. And I forgot that I was at a jam festival. I just heard some fucking guy like, play some fucking songs. Just talking, dude. What do you think about that? Is he right? I was like, oh, shit, yeah. I'm at fucking Deadfest or whatever. I'm at the Grateful Dead.

I'm at a jam band festival. I'm like, oh fuck, I forgot that this is, this isn't my world that I'm just like, talking about you know, oh man just, you know, can't get it up last night, tried to get horny and just like, just come

sing a fucking song you pile of shit stick your finger up your ass so you can come and sing us a fucking song. Get down to business, boy. I'm like, oh shit, I forgot I'm in a jam festival

and I gotta fucking... You know what? That's okay. You know what? Then you hear that... I feel like I'm misunderstood sometimes. Listen, that's why you're here. That's why you're here. Your fifth grade're here your fifth grade elementary school teacher come on out barbara hey barbara and he tried to fuck me in sixth grade oh shit we'll take a break we'll be right back in sixth grade that's the only reason it makes it funny even in sixth grade like there's all

reasonable doubt that you should be able to be left with uh in sixth grade now how about yeah because that's still such a i felt like a little kid i feel like i could have fucked my seventh grade teacher why do you have to bring up things like that unless we have a sex party afterwards we're having a sex party but i really did i felt like i could your seventh grade 7th grade teacher? 7th grade teacher. How old were you then? Fucking 11. I was horny. So you knew it. For me, that would be... But yeah, everybody has the different...

You knew at that age. You were even in touch with women's sexuality. I don't think there's any crime as long as there's no touching. I don't think there's any crime as long as no touching I don't want this show to get into the hands no we're not talking about no we are saying no

it's not even about touching what? we're talking about when two consenting adults really get into each other's shit. Understanding what people understand what people want, Todd.

Why are you yelling at me? No, you didn't yell at me, but you had tone in your voice like, oh, I'm not listening to Andy. I'm not listening to Andy. Because you went like this. It's exactly what you did. You go, how come Todd asked me a civil question and I'll give you an answer. what you did you went you go this is come todd what asked me

a civil question and i'll give you an answer but you can't have to go how many donuts do you eat a day i mean come on these are gonna answer our problems god damn it todd should i be an interviewer Todd, should I be an interviewer? That's your next question. That's what you get out of it. Todd's right. I should be an interviewer. No, I think I was talking about the exact opposite.

No, I meant the exact opposite. That's it. I decided what I want to do that's it I'm going to interview people just like Uncle Todd told me I'm going to interview people all over the world and when I'm on the road I'm going to stop by and talk to all types of people

just like Todd said I should do I remember very specifically one night he said Todd you gotta be more of you and record do. I remember very specifically one night, he said, Todd, you gotta be more of you and record. Todd, this is great. This is your opening up to the people. What did I say open?

Open up with a sec. Give me a bit right now. Not that I'm afraid to open it up, but what did I just do? I'm like, wait a second. That's not fun either. Did I just admit something? What i what happened what i have to clean up give me just give me a broom and a blow dryer you're you're too smart a blower blower street blower and that's's no offense to, but I say, the French people. No offense to the French people.

You know, whenever you say leaf blower in France, that means put them up. Who is your leaf blower? Who, what? Who is your leaf blower? What are you talking about? Why do you get so dirty? That's not. dirty. That dot.

Break it down. I'm trying to answer your question. That's what I want. I think the mushrooms kicked us the highest it could. There's also sparks of... I'm not kidding you. It's fucking great.

I get I'm on mushrooms, but I'm saying I'm not trying to be like... I'm not kidding you like it's fucking great and i know i'm i get them on mushrooms but i'm saying i'm not trying to be like uh i'm not trying to see things that uh that aren't at least happening gracefully i'm not like oh my god i saw a monkey although i think i did see one for real but i'm starting to take it to another fucking level and i am so there are colors going off if my eye hits the red over here it sparks it sparks like bunches of reds like very little not a lot not like if there was hallucination or whatever you want to call it was like one to ten ten being an extreme i see a lot of twos and threes a lot of twos and threes. Have you ever hallucinated before? When I was 18.

I had 20 people in my house. I fucking brought everyone over to my house. And we just did a fucking fun house. And I got high. And I ate. And I saw my friend shit himself. Really? Wow.

Yeah. Mushrooms. We all took an eighth. We all took an eighth once. And then we drank a fucking OJ. When is it? I guess. I all took an eighth. We all took an eighth once and then we ate or we drank fucking like OJ. When is it? I was 18. Isn't it funny if you told me

by the way, if you told me yesterday, you know, different story. No. But no, it was two weeks ago. But yeah, I got high. I got super high. Was that the first time ever? First time I ever took mushrooms. But was it, did you actually see something oh my god i fucking saw my friend shit himself that he said he's not he says no i saw i walked in i was like you know like when you have a party at your house like i get paranoid i'm like i have i have get

anxiety when i when i throw a party like at my house i'm like oh my god what's clean what's broken what you know like i'm thinking about all that shit. So I go into the room trying to take a piss. My buddy, I just see my buddy just like eyes wide open. I just see shit all over the bathroom. I don't know if I was hallucinating. Don't you know yet? We should have the results in right now, right, when we hear the rest of this story.

The results are in, right? Was it shit or not? Well, like, I was so high, I go into my room and I fucking try to, like, go to bed. Did it smell like poo-poo? I'm trying to be nice about it. No, I don't know. It was downstairs, so I go to my room.

Andy, oh my god, I'm about to prove I love you. What the fuck are you talking about? I wouldn't be of any of you. I can't be of value to you if I was going to let you. Am I crazy? But all of a sudden there's poop and there's shit everywhere. How did I get dragged into this?

I thought I had to make a choice. Wait, I don't want to get pooped all over. Is he a snake oil salesman? What the fuck's going on? Oh, my God. I want to know what else is in the red and yellow. You wanted to know what? Oh, so, yeah.

I was tripping out. Thank you, Benny. Thank you, Bella. So I guess he cleaned up all the shit. I guess he cleaned up all the shit. I guess he cleaned up all the shit. Oh, so we're talking about... Okay, here's what it says. This is my house at 18.

My parents are gone. They went to Vegas or whatever. And I'm like, I'm throwing a party. We're all taking mushrooms. So we all go. We all do our thing. And everyone is tripping out of their own thing. And I started hallucinating.

I was watching Scrubs. And I saw that all the doctors had 12 eyes. So I was like, oh my God, this is crazy. The first time I was hallucinating, I'm like, oh my God, I'm scared. I'm scared. I'm scared. And then it was my first drummer

who we tripped with and he fucking, I hated him. I just, I felt like he was the devil and he was part of the bad trip. So every time I saw him, I was like, no devil. No, no, no, no. So you have to feel safe. You have to feel safe when you're really tripping like that.

Because you don't know what's real, right? Exactly. Well, that's what I was going to ultimately get to. I saw shit. Like, I did a bunch of fucking drugs and I saw. The first time ever? No, it wasn't the first time. First time was great.

Like, they're all great. It was all great for a while. Then I pushed the envelope. What did you do? One time I did 10 hits of acid. What the fuck? John? Hey, what am I laughing at?

Sometimes I laugh when I'm uncomfortable. But that was the first time I truly saw something that wasn't there. 10 hits of acid, John? John, did you take them all right away? I had it in my head. Did you see God? Hold on. Let's ask him good questions, Andy.

Now, we cannot miss an opportunity. But actually, I'm 100% kidding. No, no, no. We are double interviews. No. I didn't say we can. I still want to interview him over top of each other. That's what's fun. Just different questions. That's what I want to do. can. I still want to interview him over top of each other. That's what's fun.

Yeah, exactly. Different questions. That's what I want to do. Exactly. You know, we're doing. All right, John. Hey, John. We're here.

I do say this. I want to say real quick, for all of it, how profound it is that you see something that's not there. And like you said, then how is any of this real? If my brain can just make something up that would look like it should have been there, then can my brain make up all of this real? If my brain can just make something up that looked like it should have been there, then can my brain make up all of this? But anywho, yeah, I did see some... You were that high.

Right, right, right. Oh, I found what you were talking about. Okay, so now back to reality. So you did... This was how long ago? Denver, four years ago. And so you... I heard some slogan like

real men do 10. I don't know. What? We are tripping out of... Real men do 10? Yeah, it was some weird thing that I overheard and I was like, okay. Hold on. Okay, you're a Phish fan. Yeah. Is this what the fucking... This was pre-Phish.

Oh, sorry. You were young. Phish was always around. Well, for me, it was weird for you oh so you're just taking l without hanging out with fish yeah no this is this was like it was all a crazy like denver was like a crazy i felt like spirit journey to like find fish and then move out here in a way i just had this harris whittles you know i'm being genuine moment where i was going to ask you a question but it happened to be the question that we keep playing over in harris and harris on the right now you look like a mirage you look like if the way and it looks it looks really cool it's like i'm on mushrooms by the way and i'm watching john talk

and just him over there he's, we're in the podcast studio. And all those knobs are in front of you, and the lighting is very low. And you look like if you were in a movie, and they wanted to make it look like they could. What is that called? Grainy? No, where they spring you in through projection. Oh, a hologram. Hologram. You look like a hologram.

It was created to be in there. Follow me. hologram. You look like a hologram. It was created to be in there. Visually, it looks very... For me, because I'm on mushrooms. I'm not stupid. This is one of the best places to do mushrooms. You did 10 hits. Yes, that's what I wanted to go back to.

10 hits. Do you see flashing lights? Well, it's's It makes you realize How many hours were you tripping? I mean Did you see flashing lights? Let me know now Let me down gently

And then you can spend all the time you want I was with somebody Oh wait, did the lights just go down? I swear Okay, I know they I thought they did It could have been because I had my head turned the other way What do you got? What do you got? Give it to me Alright I forget I lose I thought they did. It could have been because I had my head turned the other way.

What do you got? I forget. I lose track of where I'm at. All right. You're at 10 hits of acid. There was a question asked. We're getting anxious over two grams and we're high as shit. You're at 10 hits of acid, John. And – You had to experience.

I want to hear any experience. If I saw you wasted – This is what I was going to say. I want to hear it. If you were drunk on two grams of mushrooms and you were like that, lit up, what was 10 hits of acid, John Bramwagner? It's pretty insane, but I've also done DMT, which is a million times more insane than 10 hits of acid. Can you trip that much?

I don't even know. So when you do one, it's because it's the way you inject it into your body? Does that sound crazy? LSD is weighed out in nanograms. That's how fucking powerful it is. Really? Yeah. And how do you ingest it into your body? It just absorbs into your... So you put it

on your wrist or something? It can be absorbed through there. What are you laughing at, Fresco? I ended up being right. Now who looks like a big fucking dumb pile of stupid piece of shit that I ever saw in shit? Your shit isn't even the good shit. Shit exists. We know it.

Yours is the dirty shit at the dog park when the dog has thick shit and you go to scrape it off the dog's yes sir. Yes sir. Have you taken acid? No. I'd be too scared. But I love hearing. I wanted to hear

a lot of shit happen. I definitely broke my brain. But I love hearing. I wanted to hear. A lot of shit happened. I definitely broke my brain. I've only microdosed. It broke my brain for a while. What do you mean? See, that's what scares me. Yeah, no, it was shitty. When you say over a while, like a week?

You know the voice inside all of our head? During the 10 hits of acid, it became so aware. I became so aware of that voice. And then I realized how quick it was going. And I was just like... Yeah, I'm good. What the fuck, John?

Ted hit the bass? Yeah, no. I thought there was blue light flashing. I know there wasn't, but I saw it. So that still means it was there. I get it. It wasn't really there. Keep going. Keep going.

I don't want to go too much more. That's all I can handle. Well, again, I'm trying to tell you how it helped me in a way. What do you mean? Because that voice was always there, and I just was kind of blind to it and then the 10 hits of acid made me like so aware and then the preceding months like i just had to learn how to like slow it down through meditation and like calming myself down and i like learned how to like i learned that i was like revving too high as a person in general. Wow.

And then like it, like it, I kind of like had to like re like reevaluate. Well, yeah. Like I had to legitimately slow it down just by like figuring, well, and then you realize that you're living with all this like anger and stuff.

Yeah. So you have to start like, you have to start being honest with yourself and be like, okay, what is actually toxic to me? What am I doing to myself? And then you start eliminating these things and what you're left with is just living this like true, honest, like existence.

That's so beautiful. Yeah, that really is. And when you, when you say, is it, is it also like the, like almost, is that, is that a fish thing? I knew I had a question. Is that a fish like anthem I knew I had a question. Is that a fish anthem? Because that was really... No, but what's so cool about fish is I think it was pushed to me by the universe.

It came to me... I don't know. A small example. You're thinking about something in your head and then it matches up with whatever's going on in the radio. Okay, so between... Okay, it blows your mind. No, no, between the 10 hits of acid and the fish,

what was the time last? Probably a few months. Okay, so you took 10 hits of acid, not know about fish. Yeah, I went to a fish because of Harris Whittles. John, I got to tell you now, I'm very upset because you never told me this. Well, it's not something to brag about. I swear to God. I'm kidding.

I'm acting like if I was upset because I didn't know something about you. Like there's something about you. You should have talked about me. I'm sorry you had to. Wow, dude. That's like PTSD, dog. Ew. But it's. Oh, wait, yeah

Who did you do it with? Well, that's the That's the thing is I was with someone who did one hits of acid And he was like Ah, fuck this, I'm gonna leave So I did it by myself What the fuck?

Yeah, so it was very I did see some shit Oh my god, John You were by yourself sitting where? In the car? I probably technically had a seizure You were by yourself? Wait, In the car? I probably technically had a seizure. Wait, where were you sitting? I was laying on the floor just like seeing shit.

In my apartment. Oh, in your apartment. Okay, see, I don't even know that. That's why I'm asking all that. John, you were by yourself. You had no one to help you. Why is that a big deal? Like pot, it's different than pot, obviously.

But why is that so bad? Because that's a, you know, like, okay. Everyone needs a safety blanket. When you're taking drugs, I think, and you're going to that next level, you need someone... It's like the Matrix, dog! How did it do it for you?

Did you just make the best of it? Or did you go, oh, I really liked it? Once you pass a threshold, you're no longer part of the world. You're no longer you. You're now this thing same as mushrooms yeah and so that says a lot just here in that but of course thank god i didn't do anything that harmed myself i just laid on the ground and like i mean so did you have bad thoughts

yeah i saw uh like so much shit and it's like you realize you think so quickly. But, like, hallucinating, it's such a weird thing, concept, because it's like, yeah, I saw all this stuff. Oh, God, I feel so bad for you. But it's like, what was it that I really saw? How can I really, it's almost like trying to tell you about a dream, I feel like. That's what I'm saying right now. God, you are tripping so hard. I could cry for you right now, dog.

Well, not acid. That part, forget it. Ten hits? I know. I just mean my microphone keeps getting bigger and smaller. That's all I'm talking about. But you're able to control it. You're able to come back.

How many hours? Once you pass the threshold, you're not able to come back. Right. And wait, was that last night? No. Oh, you're not able to come back. Wait, was that last night? No. Oh, you're right. You said that. I'm sorry. I'm here. I'm here. I'm just checking. Stay in here. Stay in here, Todd.

No, no, sir. You need to stay. Oh, hi. How you doing, Andy? Andrew, it's been a long time. Of course I remember you, Andrew. Of course I remember you. How could I forget a guy like you? Hey, this is Andrew, everybody. He sings songs. He's part of a club.

All right, John, get back to this. Ten hits of acid. I saw one thing that looked like... I don't know. My theory on telling you about hallucinogen. This is what I saw. I want to know. It looked like a Faberge egg thing. You've seen those

like a crazy crazy looking egg and it looked like it was being held in place by these like arms and it was all very like the arms are very 3D like boxy and then the Faberge egg looked like a Faberge egg and you could see them

for infinity behind it and then they would like fade away because it's infinity. At one second, the arms kind of lifted up, and the egg just went fucking nuts and started cracking. What? Yeah. And then the arms went back down. But actually... This is in your back of your car.

This is in my apartment. I was laying on the apartment floor. Oh. I saw this all over my uh this is in my pardon me i was laying on the apartment floor oh just like i saw this all over my head just like and that was when like it all just started like when that and so it's like a weird i don't know it's a weird that i can pinpoint in like a visual where the trip just like it felt like i cracked like as a human being It was really crazy. Oh, my God. Were you crying?

Yeah. Why do I keep saying it like that? Because it was like really... It was... No one's ever asked me about it, and I've wanted to talk about it since... Were you crying? Yes, yes, I was crying.

Like, for how many hours? Hold on one second. I'm sorry, I need to... Bro. He took 10 hits of acid. Took 10 hits of acid. one second. Bro. He took 10 hits of acid. Took 10 hits of acid. Pardon me?

It broke you as a human being. Did it break you as a human being? I saw this Faberge egg. So there was like arms and did it break you? I saw this Faberge egg like go fuck so there was like arms and just like the arms like moved and the fucking Faberge egg was just like cracking and like going

crazy and like it like that split second that happened like I felt like my brain kind of like go fucking nuts that happened, I felt like my brain kind of like go fucking nuts. That happened to me at DMT. DMT is scary. What did everybody, if you took 10, what did everyone say?

There were people going, oh, you should have two or you should have three. You should have a half. A half a 10. I want to know how much 10 is. Bro, that is so much. Well, 10 times more than anything is good. Oh, yeah. 10 hits of acid.

Oh, one hit of acid is enough, you're saying. One hit of acid will last you eight hours. Okay. And have you ever done two? I've done two, and it lasts, and I was. Okay. What's the most you've done? What's the most you've done?

That's it. So you did two. Yeah, but I know. And that was a lot. Okay, that helps me. Okay. What's the most you've done? What's the most you've done? That's it. So you did two. Yeah. But I know. And that was a lot. Okay. That helps me. I like to have, I know there's a wiggle range all over the goddamn place, but just the sense

of it. Did you see lights? I'm kidding. But did you? I am kidding, but I do want to know. So I guess I'm not kidding. You saw lights? Oh, yeah.

Was it very light sensitive? Like if you did that? Well, I've done, well, I've also, like, done Holism Jens and Molly together, and that's when you get really cool tracers. I've seen, like, a bug fly by, and there'd be, like, nine of the same bug, and then they'd all have tracers, and it's all rainbow. Fuck all that. I love that.

I would love it, too. Too much, man. Yeah, no, it's great. And you chase it, and the thing you love becomes not great. Seriously, that is very... This is why I stopped taking... That sounds appealing. I stopped taking Molly, because I just would fuck everything.

All I need is this shiny table. I don't need drugs. I have my shiny table I go to. Have you ever fucked a Molly? Watch your mouth. Have you? If you're going to talk about my mother, I don't care about that. But don't throw jabs at her.

Todd, you should fuck on Molly, dog. Wait, you want him to hear that? You should fuck on Molly. I would try that, but I have to know... Have you fucked on Molly, John? I believe so. It is so good. Here's my fear.

I feel like I'm cumming Skittles. Wow, you do? Yeah, dude. How about Harris Whittles? What if you were cum feel like I'm coming Skittles. Wow. You do? Yeah. How about Harris Whittles? What if you were coming Harris Whittles? It's just so fun. You're fucking... And you can see like...

I visualize just like all the dancing sperms. Oh, God. I know. That's a happy... That's happy. Everyone's happy. Let's go! We're all getting out of here! Ba-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da- We love happiness. Everyone's happy. They don't even know why they're singing. We take the weekend off so we can sing and eat spaghetti. It's fun to jam a food in your mouth and eat too much. So we make it a holiday.

My face is so fat right now, I bet. Why? I can imagine it. Are you always hungry, Todd? Yes. Yeah? No, now, I'm not hungry now. You know why?

Because I know that I didn't eat, and there's a meal, a deserved meal is to be coming. Yeah. It's not even something I have to feel guilty about. Right? Would you say that's true? Do you feel guilty about eating?

My own. Nothing. Nothing. Then it's the surface of, you know, that's why you should shut up when you're trying to not eat. Because then you don't have to apologize to anybody. And then put them through the charade of, you know, I'm smart, Vinny, at least I know my shit. The doctors told me, and you know it.

Why won't you admit it that I get this addiction to sugar is worse. Yeah? Worse than if I was a legal schizophrenic mass murderer. Is sugar your favorite? I want to answer you seriously. Do you want me to answer you? I'm afraid to be serious over the sugar question.

Are you in love with sugar? What is wrong? What the fuck are you in love with sugar what is that's a good question because it's the worst question and guess what i'm gonna answer it because you're the best okay so let's talk about sugar what is your question again is it the best for you or the worst are you in love with my love with sugar i was I in love with sugar? I was right. I knew it was something crazy. And it didn't let me down when you finally... It's weird that I forgot it because I'm high. But once I remembered it, you go, are you in love with sugar? It all comes

flooding home. What are you? Are you in love? Yeah, I'm in love with sugar. I want to fuck sugar, baby. Come here, sugar. Let me get my hands all over you. Sugar, I love you so much the way you make me feel. Put yourself in the microwave for 10 seconds.

Get all over my hands. Oh, dad, dog. I thought it was chocolate. Somehow it morphed from sugar to chocolate. Well, I think if you had money, you could buy chocolate. Do you like salt or sugar? Both. What's your favorite? Well...

If it's 4 a.m. Oh, my favorite. Any food at all? Any food at all. 4 a.m. That's realistic.. If it's 4 a.m. Oh, any food at all? Any food at all, 4 a.m. That's realistic. We should be able to order this stuff. Anything is open. Man, do you know what you do?

You're presenting it like from another space, but in reality it's called takeout. You're like, what if? But it's very endearing. You're like, what if? Todd, I want you to really think about this, guys. You could just, and I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it. Order.

Guys, no, you're not listening. I'm doing a little bit of me, but I'm trying to stick to you. No, no, no, no, no. This is a good one. Whatever food you want, I'll just get it for you. Yeah, it's called takeout. You're like, yeah, yeah. Oh, okay.

And then move on with life. That's why i came downstairs put my pants on to come out and greet everybody and make fun of andy fresco why do you think i'm so in the clouds uh what do you know you're over he knows what he's up to you know what i'm very smart and smart people know when other smart people are around. I think you know exactly what you're doing. I'm one step ahead of you. I win. I got you good, Fresco.

This is a great experiment. I want to go back to your 10 hits. Get back in here. Okay. Everybody drink water. Everyone have water? Drink water. I have back in here. Uh, no kid. Everybody drink water. Everyone have water? Drink water. I have more water here. Oh, you're doing well this year. Everyone want water?

We have a great meal. You know what you do? You say, John, tell me about it, and then you get up and you start pouring water for everybody. What did he ever do to you? I got your back. You need water? If you had a quarter, what would you... Here, drink this whole bottle.

I can't take water from innocent people like you. You never hurt anybody. I'll get my own water. Have you ever seen that... Can I take in sips if I put it right back where it's at? He likes where it's at because it blocks the camera. Should we eat more mushrooms? I don't think we're going to start a gang.

Yeah, it tapered. We made it. We made it through there. We made it. That was pretty good. Yeah, that was great. Wow. I have to be very careful. My legs are exploding. Seriously.

There's a lot of energy going through my legs right now. I mean, I don't... Like, they want to burst? I don't know if it has anything to do with things I say. It doesn't feel like it does. If I think about... There's nothing I want to say. Have you ever hallucinated, Tom?

No, I've never heard a chair talk to me before, but the answer's no. Let's get him... Hey, did you see that chair just trying to ask me a question? That was a funny joke um that's hallucination but the guy doesn't even think he's hallucinating he goes i don't know you know uh did i ever hallucinate uh my not majorly maybe when being on mushrooms i think you would know you know i've never i've had is it what is it called when you let like lights get a little bit they do their own thing they keep repeating like and i know that it's not being stoned i just know that no i've never hallucinated do things melt is that i know

that's a cliche i mean like legitimate if it's like melting down like the walls things can just fall apart that's how you your brain deals with it just so when things come so you can i've no i've never seen that i even oh my god that's fun to imagine even just things melting like wow i know it's in my it's in anybody's head but there's some people it's not in their head like they imagine that there's a difference it's like the movies. It's like, oh, shit. Fucking everything's an illusion, man. So what? Who cares? It's still there.

It's true. I still had fun with it. Hey, maybe you're a bunch of zeros, but I'll tell you what I have. What are you going to sing as a song? We're going to be alive. You want to try to take it home? We've got to. I mean, we've been going an hour and 43.

Sure. I'm high, so I can't stand straight. It's not that I'm having trouble standing straight. Well, I guess I am. Who cares of the reason? Don't stand near that guy who's toppling over because he has too many bananas in his pants. If you would close...

He's toppling over because he has too many bananas in his pants. Out there, he's toppling over because he's too high on mushrooms. What would be the perfect close to this episode? Well... Something we could enjoy and agree on. To me, it would be like you're doing a song, but that involves you working.

That's not the same if you said, Todd, would you mind doing five minutes of stand-up? That's different because it's not a song. If you could pick the ultimate song for you to sing. Andy, I tell you the truth, I'd do anything for a friend. What's the deal with Philadelphia

cream cheese, everybody? Get the fuck... This is why you have this area, don't you? It's fun to walk up three inches and you feel like, hello, I'm down here. Now I'm up here. Your voice even turns up higher.

It does, Andy, and it should. Andy, it's Andy Fresco asking the questions tonight. Just because it's loud doesn't mean it's Andy Fresco asking the questions tonight. Just because it's loud doesn't mean it's enjoyable. I've learned, and that's the case for that. I still did it.

I still did it. Wow, what am I on? I don't want to. I had a guy here last week. Every so often I forget we're recording this. And I don't mind that we're recording this, but I do forget that we're recording this. Well, do you want to, I ask, do you want to bring it home? Like, are you?

No, we should keep going. We should know. I was wondering. We're here. Yeah, I was wondering. Let me calm down. Calm down. This is part of the experiment.

Let's keep going. Yeah. Everyone, calm it down. Absolutely. I want you to take off your gorilla mask. It's part of the experiment. Let's keep going. Yeah. Everyone, calm it down. Absolutely. And I want you to take off your gorilla mask. It's not funny. There are people that are listening, you know. He's been wearing a gorilla mask the whole show.

I'm not kidding around. And I know it's your part to lend the funny suave of the night, if you could say it. But what's you? What the? Or the big? We should all split one heart. If we all did a little bit more. I'm trying to shut up for 30 minutes.

Seriously, if you want to know what goes through my head. I don't listen. I need to call my hookup. Should we take more drugs, Todd? I'm great. Obviously, if anybody else wants to of course why would I. So I'm there.

I would say How many did you take? I took two. I know that it's not the pot. And what I'm saying is where I'm at is just so so great. But I wouldn't mind if somebody of course why would I mind

my point is it's hard to and I'm going okay I am and I think I not that much I have to take I want to experience I'm going to call Megan can I tell you something this is what we're going to do.

But can you make it after I say this? Okay. Remember you said, unless you were lying to me, listen up, Fresco. I'm here. It's not so fun anymore, is it? Did these... Oh, will you be the interviewer?

No, now you got in trouble. Now you're on the hot seat, Fresco. Hey, everybody, welcome back. It's Todd Glass. Got you in the hot seat. You don't want to're on the hot seat, Fresco. Hey, everybody, welcome back. It's Todd Glass. Got you in the hot seat. You don't want to be in the hot seat with Todd Glass? Hey, you got those stories your friends tell you and you find holes in them? Write them into the hot seat.

Now take them on right here on this show every week. This week we have Andy Fresco in our hot seat. Okay, I don't really because I don't even remember what we're talking about. I remember the bit that we're doing. I'm on mushrooms and that's a fun thing to remember. Because you go, oh, you don't have to remember. Okay, this is what we're going to do. This is game plan. Yes, I'm listening. I'm all listening.

We're going to call Megan. She's going to come over here and we're going to interview the fuck out of her. She's wild as fuck. She's wild. And she's down to talk. Let's do it. Here's the problem. What's the problem?

Can we grab a phone with her? Yeah. Does she like to party downtown, if you know what I'm talking about? No, that'd be great. I would trust you that any energy that came on would be fun. But why don't we say goodnight? Why don't we just stop? Oh, you want to keep going?

No. This is halftime. You want to stop? Oh, you want to keep going? No. This is halftime. You want to stop? I think we go. You seem to want to just agree with Andy. No, it seems a little bit suspicious. Think about this, Todd. It seems a little bit suspicious.

It is a little bit suspicious, but. Thank you. No, you don't have to agree, but I at least want to have the truth. What type of show? What type of journalist? You know, seriously, I'm not trying to make a big deal about this. I could lose my journalistic license. And John, that's why John's shaking his head, because he knows I'm right. And this

is very... Wait a second. I didn't say that. I just want to do... I'm happy either way. Todd! So, yeah, I think... Todd! Is this the halftime? This is going to be halftime. Yeah, great. I'm going to call Megan.

We're going to do three extra grams tonight. Exactly. And then get back right here. Now that I want to be talked into. That I want to be talked into. It might be fun. We can always turn it back on if we're feeling it. How about we don't feel guilty?

We don't come back. Are you trying to sense my ideas? That's what I'm saying. No, that's good to know because then it really helps me make my decision just in case there was certain accountabilities when trying to figure out what your perfect note would be. So that is good to know that John's is down for whatever. It doesn't say what he would want to do more.

It just says I wouldn't. I get it. That's good to know. So now, with that in mind, I'm still having fun. You can't act like I'm down. Oh, that part where Todd had to decide whether they wanted to go on or not. Did that mean that? No, it says nothing to do.

But memories are fun, too. So you want to make sure. Do you want this to be a memory? I will show you the way. So So you want to make sure. Do you want this to be a memory? I will show you the way. So I just want to make sure. Being time and it's free. I've always wanted to be a Broadway singer. Well, you should.

Why are you holding yourself back? Can I tell you? I love a routine. I love a routine. You know, like a show that's like every night like fucking tight i love that i'm in a scene that i can't do that and you like that so when you watch concerts like where they can play within their restraints but pretty much it's a tight you i want to fucking master a show like a comedian does they take all year to do that but in my fucking world i can't do that because everyone's

expecting me to do something different every fucking night not yet they'll get to a point where and when you say do the same thing every night i just i know most people know but it's not that you don't want to be in the moment because you can be in the moment but you have to do more than that in the situation you're in now. You're like, no, they just want to hear you do like. No, I just want to like make a super show like David Byrne. You know David Byrne? From Talking Heads?

In the senior end, that's what I'm trying to understand. In the senior end, it's not like the senior end, they want to see you in that scene because most performers do it, I take it. Are you saying in the, what's the scene you call it the jam scene the jam scene in the jam scene is that because they're used to just getting someone's doing completely different stuff every single night yeah they are and i like that it makes me try to but it's like so hard because they remember me as a big guy so they remember me as the horror dude and the fucking you know like the guy who crowds her to the fucking the wave pool dude like it's like every musical thing i do differently they're

not gonna they won't remember but you know because i put myself in that i did that to myself can i say something is this i hope this answers your question because i think it was told to me a long time ago about you know like when to have to be okay to let go of certain people. Because they're going, no, that's who, everyone thinks they know who you are when you vary from what they like about you. Yeah. Right? And then when you vary from what, no, that's not who you are. Whoa, whoa, it might be who I'm turning into.

Maybe we did this. Does that answer? Yeah. I don't know. What do I know? I'm a plumber. My dad's a plumber. Ah! That's what we should be I know? I'm a plumber. My dad's a plumber. That's what we should be joking about.

Why am I getting deep? My dad's a plumber. How do you just be your... What I'm asking, Todd, is how do you just be yourself throughout the fucking... How to keep... How to do this for this long? What do I know? John had tennis...

You're still doing it, Todd! No, I'm not. I think John had tennis... You're still doing it, Todd. Aren't you? But no, seriously. You're still a comedian. I'm a... In 2019. Oh, Todd. No, I'm not. I think John had ten asses. You're still doing it, Todd. You're still a comedian. In 2019. Oh, wait. What am I doing? What do you mean I'm still doing it?

No, you're still fucking, you're part of the scene. You're fucking, you're in it, man. Yes. No, hey, I'm always, I never take that for granted. Well, he's been a comics comic. Yeah. Well, listen. Thank you, and I was about time you guys took my cue. I gave you both.

Can we edit this out? Do you swear to God, John? Yeah, I could do that. John, do you promise? Oh, wait. You'll edit this for me? This computer is fucking up right now. You fucking assholes.

You're going to have to leave me down this shit path. Your career is over. Well, we're going to have to leave in that bit where I called you a comics comic. I don't care about everything. I get a little nervous when I'm doing these bits because I thought, am I getting too silly? The parameters

are getting mushy of life. What's real? What is supposed to be a thing? Oh my god. When I did 10 Hits of Acid, of life. What's real? What is supposed to be a thing? When I did 10 hits of acid, those parameters fucking obliterated. What was that sound?

It was the sound of... You're right. It's just... How long did it take? Did you know you were going to take 10? Or did you just take one? I think I did it on my birthday. What does 10 hits of acid look like?

I'll tell you what it looks like. Why do we have to go to him when I'm a guy who can make pretend what the answer is? If that was on Family Guy, people would laugh hysterically if Peter said something that stupid. And that's what I... I demand the same from anything I say stupid. It's a lot of those, like, repeating...

Todd, you experienced this when you... This is... I don't think you... I don't think this is the hardest you've tripped. I think the hardest you tripped was with Vinny's friends when they came into town. You were laying on the couch. And so we were all sitting there. And we got up and went outside. But he, like, stayed on the couch and so we were we were all sitting there and we got up and went outside but he like stayed on the couch and later we came to find out he kept on like looking up to like look at us and

then like would put his face back down and forget that we weren't there and keep talking and then look up and then we weren't there again but keep doing that. So that's what 10 hits of acid is, but times a million, is just repeating shit. You realize that your brain's just this fucking, it's just going, it's bouncing back between three things. And it's, yeah. Wow, that's crazy. You know, tell me that's crazy and I'm not just saying it because I can grasp that. And I think there's a way you can expand your mind in a realistic way as opposed to just thinking oh i took my shoes like yeah but i can let it go a

little but i can only let go so much and then i'm like oh i get that you know i get that too i get that wow i understand that that's your mind it's just like constantly you want to shut it down so you shut it down did you go dark at all like i don't even dark angry did you ever go like quiet uh no so yeah i discovered i think mckenna talked about like the meat locker like the part of his brain that was just like i would assume just all the bad stuff or whatever yeah like i discovered this part of my brain i was just like like, that's where all the negative stuff is. And then you realize, once it was open, I couldn't, there was no, like, stopping it. It would just, it was just, like, flooding my brain. So then that's what the preceding months were, was me trying to, like, live with, like, oh, God, I'm a monster, I guess.

That's what I, like, realized, because I was doing all this shitty stuff. How did that make you feel? It made me feel awful uh but it also made me like i guess like it because i didn't want to do that anymore it made me a better person because i started taking the steps to eliminate all the shitty stuff i was doing in my life so i think and now i understand when people people say Bad trips are actually good trips Because Either they awaken you up

Or you just Continue to lie to yourself Yeah I get it man Man I want to cry for you man Well it's better You're good now Yeah well it helped me And now I want to help everybody else

and he said on your own and by saying you don't need to do that you're fine don't do 10 hits you don't need to do it trust me

oh man I felt like I was so how long did it last no in case you guys tricked me the last thing I want to know is how long I want to be out

how long John I mean in a way forever in a way, forever. In a way, like right now. That's the worst part. John, that's not the good answer. That's not a good answer, John. Are you okay?

Hold on, hold on. Hold on. Close the drapery. We need to get down to this. We were going to drift into this. Hold on. Forever? Now, come on. Please tell me you mean that. No, no. Tell me what the truth is.

What is the truth? Tell me the truth. Wait. The truth of everything? Wait, what was that? The truth of everything? I'm trying to listen and I can't listen. I need to shut up.

So you're just talking about the philosophy of the 10 hits has stayed with you forever. Absolutely. Okay, that makes sense. Not like the crazy stuff. You're not seeing the egg crack all the day.

Oh, God. Oh, God. Oh, no. Oh, my God my my home is broken well sometimes i'm laying in bed and i'm staring at my ceiling oh my god no you can see it kind of move around but i think that's that's good no i think everybody can do that what yeah i think i think if you're... No, no, no, no. You're saying you're surprised that you can do this without drugs.

Do I follow correctly? Who was it? Van Gogh drew Starry Night. Yeah. The reason Starry Night came out the way it did is because you can actually see things in the actual air, like bubbles and shit, that is there like things in the actual air like bubbles and shit that is there and it's when you do acid that's when you see it because you're like more heightened to it all but it's always there like acid truly is just is just making your brain like there is a negative it's it's bad to call it negative towards acid and hallucinogens because it's awesome everyone's like oh you're gonna see something you're gonna

go to a different world you're gonna like uh be awoken to like some door and this that and the other but honestly like that's i don't know if that's true or not, but it's all about just, like, self-improvement every time. Right. So. That's why I'm always on board. Because, you know, I always think, you know, maybe we learn this. But it's always about self-improvement. So how can that be?

That's never a waste. So if I think we looked at it more as a net medicinal. What do I know? I'm no Joe Rogan. But it's a hard thing because you fucking people see shit people apparently travel to different realms Joe Rogan spent 50 years or something

in some sort of Mayan temple I keep on thinking like this stone is going to go away and then I get fucking back in the world you know just like oh I started tripping out again I almost cried for you dog I really did dog

I was feeling like 10 hits of acid for 10 hours I would be freaking out that happened to me once I got drugged at a festival and it was the worst feeling I thought I was having a heart attack and I had to drive through the night

I had to drive through the night because it was my yeah we drive through the night like my van I'm not saying I had to drive through the night because it was my... You drive through the night? Yeah, we drive through the night. Like, my van. In your black Mercedes van? I'm not saying if it wasn't that that devalues your pain, but it's just different for me to imagine you still, after all this,

have your nice Mercedes van. It makes me happy. So are you in it? Think about this. Think about this, Todd. It's 10 o'clock. You need to drive the night shift with the band in the van. And I thought I was completely sober, and someone dosed me with acid.

And I'm driving 10 hours with my band in a van. And you didn't know? I didn't know. I was having panic attacks. I was like, what the fuck is happening? What the fuck is happening? Oh, my God. And you have...

And I'm driving my fucking... My family in the back. I'm like, oh, my God. I'm having a heart attack. So I, like, kept on pulling over, take a piss. I had to pee a lot. I had to pee, pee, pee.

And I didn't know what it was. I thought I was having a panic attack. And, like, I'd go through these, like, things I were... Now I know because I fucking take mushrooms and shit. But I was tripping. Yeah. Like, you go through these waves like, things I were, now I know because I fucking take mushrooms and shit. But I was tripping. Yeah.

Like, you go through these waves. And you never found out who did it? No. I know. I mean, like, I tell my fans, this is the fuck, this is my poison. This is my, what might kill me one day. It shouldn't even matter right now, by the way. So.

I know. But I just tell my fans, like, at a festival, I get so excited. I'm like, give me all your drugs. And I start eating all the drugs and taking everything that's what I do that's my thing at festivals I'm trying to

fucking peacock everyone who can fucking do solos I'm like okay how am I going to get remembered I can't solo I am going to eat all the drugs Andy this is sad and funny but I'm going to laugh first, and then I'll deal with the rest of it later. But it's true.

It's endearing, and it's everything. What can I do? How can I get people to... I'll eat all the drugs. Maybe I can't do that or that, but I can eat all the drugs. Don't remember me. Give me all the drugs Maybe I can't do that But I can eat all the drugs Don't remember me Give me all your drugs Nothing scares me

I got good songs too Where's that bag of Give it to me I'll leave your town I won't fucking leave any Unturned carpet or anything Give me all your drugs It's true though

I got a little pot On the pot On the Give me I need to fix this I got a little pot on the pot on the. I need to fix this, Todd. So you want to do it? Well, it's fun, by the way. It's fun. It's fun.

Even though I trust people too much. That's what it is. You think, oh, is that what it is? Yeah, that's what it is. That's one of your songs. That's not what it is, Andy. You tried to make yourself a victim. Oh, you know what the thing is? I trust people too much. You think's not what it is, Andy. You tried to make yourself a victim. Oh, you know what the thing is?

I trust people too much. You think that's what it is? You think experts are going to watch this conversation and go, well, the problem is here that Andy is too nice of a guy, and he trusted people too much. That's the reason he was taking bags of drugs and shoving them in his mouth. I've been a doctor at Harvard for over 20 years. I can analyze people and there's behaviors.

What I see there is a man that trusted too many people. That's all I see. And the other doctor goes, I agree. That's what I was thinking. What's wrong with me? Am I a narcissist? No, you're being honest. You're just saying what's on your mind.

Don't feel funky. Don't feel crunky. I'm talking about, is that this animal instinct of just wanting to be the best at this festival? Is that fucking wrong? No, I think it's human nature. You know what it is? Can I say this? It's fucking me up that I'm so competitive.

I don't think the best is... I'm going to make you feel better. I don't think it's competitive. I think you just want to be heard. And when you get into these situations, what can I do that could put the... I mean, no, because I think you wish... I see your energy, and you have positive energy towards other people. I love people.

I just think what you're seeing and still making fun of going back to is just the what can i do yeah exactly i don't think that has to be uh i think um i think that's i don't want to be the one that over analyzes it um but i will tell you this from afar it's very funny it's like you're the one who did it by the way i look like the bad one because i'm just imitating what you said i know you go what's wrong with me i'll be the one who eats all the drugs my heart sunk a little then i went but then it's funny i'll be the guy give it to hey andy fresco was here well there's no more drugs he ate ate them all. That's my rep now. I'm the drug guy.

That's interesting that people are connecting to you. So why do people need, like, an idol to do drugs? This goes back to the 70 rock star. When you talk about eating the drugs and needing the drugs. Now, I have a serious question. I'm not going to make a mockery of my own. He doesn the audience do not he ought right right right this is not who i am all the time you know me i don't know what's your name and i don't mean to be rude helen andrew oh andrew hi i knew it was andrew i'm not an idiot hi andrew i'm not stupid it's a guy who

is stupid because he says he isn't stupid but he ends up looking stupid anyway because he's a moron and morons can end up looking stupid smart but he ends up looking stupid. Anyway, because he's a moron. And morons can end up looking stupid. Smart people can end up looking stupid because they're vulnerable. Smart, well, who's to say who's smart? If I was so smart, I wouldn't be saying this. I'm one step ahead of you, and you're right. I'm going to change the tone of my voice,

and I don't sound like I'm saying anything. Tell me what you love about Vinny. Stop. Why do you have to get the... Come on. Give me one thing. Give me some... Give me like a fucking...

Can I make 10 jokes? No, no, no. What's wrong with that? People get more for their money. You're not a consumer. A lot of people are listening. A lot of people... I just...

Hey, you say... I asked you. I'm talking to you. No. You're going to know in a second I'm talking. You're going to... Todd. Listen. I'm a very... Don't act like because I'm one extreme or the other. You're trying to know in a second I'm talking. Todd, listen.

Don't act like because I'm one extreme or the other. You're trying to make a science project out of me. No, no. But listen, you don't have to be like, it's not like a Hallmark movie where it's like, Todd doesn't let the people see. I can always dig deeper, and I will, but now I'm doing okay. So are you. But now this drugs, though, I can't dig deeper and I will but now I'm doing okay so are you but now this drugs though I can't be pulled into

this is a serious illness I love it I can't do that give me those drugs hey thanks for coming to the show lady I'll do all the drugs and I'm not I'll do all the drugs. And I'm not... I normally don't like drugs.

But you know what it is? Just so you know, I'm not... I'd like to say this. I know you're not making fun of me. What we're talking about... I know you're not making fun of me. What we're talking about is that, look, everyone has their limits in what they experiment with.

That's why when we're saying, I'll do all the drugs, blah, blah, blah, the truth is you're doing it because the unknown. And it's like, that's what some of the pulse is. You want it to be unknown, but you don't want to get too unknown if someone did something really just... But that's going to happen.

Hey, guess what? Even though you don't want it to happen, when it happens and it sucks, when it's not happening, it's part of the thrill if you're just taking them from the stage. They might be able to go a little higher than you'll allow yourself to go and sometimes that can be fun i would i wish somebody and i don't ever do it to me now that i said it maybe did a little bit like let me like right now i should take a little more mushrooms to be honest i'm just too lazy

and i want to make sure it's that i just don't want it for the food value like i want oh i'll eat half a chocolate like i'm hungry the chocolates are going oh i don't need a pill no i don't need more pills see i already asked myself but if it was a if it was an eclipse let's say it was a cinnamon bun they go todd we have these acid cinnamon buns i might go to that bakery and just get some get fucked up do you love sugar Are you in love with sugar? Ah! Todd, get over here. And by the way, I'm not laughing like I'm an evil empire for the wrong reason.

The answer is, that caught you right there in that track of your line of questioning. The old line of questioning matched up, met with you. That's why you got nervous. You go, ah, ah, do you love sugar? That was your next question. That's why it startled everybody. Yes, I know what I'm saying. You were going to go, do you love sugar? Then you made it ironic, but it was

your serious question. A little bit. I think sometimes... Are you in love with... Are you in love with Vinny? No, no. That should be my new sitcom. Sitcom.

I say it like that. The answer is yes. I will not run from uncomfortable moments. Oh, now you make yourself the hero. You love... If you could pick... Positive or... You're making yourself the hero.

No, I'll take you out of this situation. I'm going to come over here and hug you. I fucking love you. You know what? We'll just talk about it later. But that was great. You were going one direction. I've had that. And then you go, wait a second. Did you just say...

Andy, here's what I'm here to say. What is it about life? Did you ever... Warren Zevon, I watched him on David Letterman. You know, when he did just three songs and he talked about death. I re-went and watched it last week. I just want to smoke so much. Do we have any more joints?

Yeah, how about... You can smoke a... Oh, yeah, sure. I want to smoke a cigarette so bad. You can smoke a cigarette and you can take a break. And you can smoke a cigarette in here if no one else wants. I don't mind. Can I smoke one in here? Yeah, but let's go take the first one out of here.

Because why not? We're taking a break anyway. All right. Oh, wait. Let's say goodnight. No. Oh, you want to come back? Can't we leave like this and go until...

Let's figure out what we want to do. We can break and then... Never come back. Even though that sounds silly, I want to make it like in the event I'm not feeling it, I said goodbye, I think there's a really good chance I'm going to want to come back and go, here's where I'm at. But in case I don't.

That's what we call it. We just fade out there. Then you talk. What do you add to that? Is it hard for you to say goodbye? You son of a bitch! You're the one that wants to keep going and now you're drinking me. It's hard for me to have the option

because you're the one. I'm done. I'll say goodbye. Bye. We're done. The podcast. No, don't just keep talking like a crazy person. I can tell if you're taking in what I'm saying. There's faces people make like, oh, yeah, oh, yeah. Why do you want this to be over? I don't, and I'm not going to keep going down that line of questioning. I think.

What? You pile of shit. Eddie, you're the one that wants to keep. Now, by the way, I don't want to make keep going a bad thing. We're just saying, do we want to keep recording the night and the ups and downs, I think, especially because we're smoking mushrooms. We're doing mushrooms, however we did them. There's things closing in on me to the left.

And that's the question. What's important to you? No, shush. I don't buy it. So, the question is, do we want to stop? I didn't buy it. So, the question is, do we want to stop? I didn't. Oh, I'm remembering! Oh, you're in bad trouble, Fresco.

Your things are not looking good because glass is back. Wait, Todd. Sit down. Sit down. Let me talk to you. No, no, no. Let me talk to you. What's wrong? Talk to me. But you were the one who says, well, we should come back and record this later.

I'm like, okay, either way. I said, let's take a break. And I figured, in case I don't feel like coming back later, I wanted to sort of leave it open there and do whatever. Now, what you're saying is... Are you scared of retiring? What am I, a boxer? I got a lot of life left in me.

How dare you? He's like, Todd, I can't believe it. I don't like not knowing where my stance is, though. Todd, do you think you'll be a comedian for the rest of your life? Yes, yes. Okay, I'll come back in. That's a good question.

But I'm not going to take these, you know, you're hitting me with these fucking limp dick, half-fucking-serious shit questions. If a shit had an ass, and I think this might have been said by a famous person. Seriously, somebody said it or a comedian. If a shit had an ass and that shit had shit come out of it, like your shit, here's shit. Oh, shit's bad enough, right? And then that shit has an ass and that shit had shit come out of it, like, here's shit. Here's shit. Oh, shit's

bad enough, right? And then that shit has an ass and it's shitting more shit. That's what I want to make sure I'm not doing. What makes you happy, Todd? Oh, sure. Happy? Gum, okay? And juicy fruit and different types of candies right now. If you want the truth...

Go back to your story, Todd! Will you be a comedian for the rest of your life? Will you be a comedian for the rest of your life? Will you be a comedian for the rest of your life? I'll answer that question, but I would like to know there's candy on the way. And you know that's a true statement. There's always candy in the way. I didn't say in the way. I said on

the way. Do we want to order candy? What's more interesting? Do you love sugar? Okay. Yeah. I mean, come on. Okay. We'll take a break. You got your way, Fresco. Yes or no? Oh, yes, I do. Thank you. Yes, I do.

Of course. I never denied that. That was a joke. I thought you were just asking a joke question. Yes, who doesn't love sugar? We'll be right back. Oh, my fucking God.
