Andy Frasco's World Saving Podcast - NIck & Andy: Bands That Should Quit, Bad Managers, and the Wedding Grift
Episode Date: January 27, 2026Andy Frasco and Nick ditch the guest format and go fully unfiltered on this episode of Andy Frasco's World Saving Podcast, tackling one of the most honest conversations in the jam-band world, includin...g who needs to quit and why. The episode spirals into a ruthless (and mostly bleeped) breakdown of bands that should probably hang it up, bands that should come back, and why the scene feels oversaturated right now. From there, the target shifts to managers, why so many are five years behind, terrified of other managers, and still throwing money at the same tired marketing playbook. They also dig into the state of the music industry, from festival economics and oversaturation to why so many bands refuse to quit and why managers keep recycling the same outdated ideas. It's an inside look at how scenes get clogged, why presales matter, and what actually hurts live music in 2026. Producer Jack drops in to relive his destination wedding in Barbados, which was launched by a brutally honest rant about weddings, bridal showers, and the social pressure to spend thousands to prove you're "supportive." From gift fatigue to travel weddings and the misery of being too high up in the wedding party, Andy and Nick argue that the only winning move is being the seventh-best friend.

You've been looking really handsome lately at your concerts.
I've been looking better lately.
Oh, my God.
I've been getting professional haircuts.
No, just the...
Upgraded my wardrobe a little.
Even like just the flannels you're wearing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's so weird to say how hot you look by wearing a flannel.
But you look very attractive and you're really...
It's like it's a nice fitting flannel.
Yeah, keep going.
You bought these boots.
They look good.
They look good.

The streetwear company.
I would never wear a disco biscuit socks.
I'd wear them because I could hide them.

kind of like I won't tell my friends from home I've been to a disco biscuits concert you know
I don't want them to call CPS I'm like I gotta say and you know

life I'm like damn I was like damn she's showing up to the shows the umprey shows

She came to a mission, I thought.
Never seen that smile after a concert.
She hates your band.
I know.
She doesn't really like going to concerts.
No?
She works at them, so it's like...
To be honest, I...
I was, like, trying to date this girl, and she's like...
I love concerts.
I just... I will...
That's all I want to do on my free time.
Red flag.
I'm going to be honestly, I'm not the right person for you.
Yeah.
Because I'm not going to go to concerts on my days off unless I'm supporting my friends.
I'm not going to just go check in the fucking local city weekly and see whatever fucking.
Yeah.
You better be badass.
Diverticulitis, you know, the jam band.
Yeah, it's not particularly.
Jesus Christ.
I'm not going to do it anymore.
I'm not surprised there isn't a jam band name.
I haven't been to Servantes in so long.
I went to Lotus last week, actually.
I didn't been there to a while.
Oh, I saw you fanboy and you're like, look at this fucking crowd.
You went fucking peaked out to the crowd.
They're rinked.
They're a fanboy.
They're my friends.
Oh, you're getting them some love by.
I used to write some songs for them back in the day.
They're good boys.
They were ripping it up.
It sounds like they're really organized and dancing and they have a lot of girls of their shows.
I'm not going to support Scott.
I'm like, I don't know.
Cervantes is tough because you go at 9 and you're like, I'm going to go check out this band.
And then next thing you know, it's 2.30 in the morning.
It's just so hard to leave that place.
It is.
It's like a vortex.
I used to just go so I get recognized at places.
It's kind of fun.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm kind of over that now.
Yeah, but nah.
No, you're not.
I mean, yeah, of course.
Of course.
I'm still me.
Yeah.
But like on my only day off, am I going to go to Servantes and see the same group
people?
Maybe.
Maybe.
Probably.
Or am I going to go to some like really fucking weird dive bar that with three friends that I
haven't seen a long time?
That's kind of fun too.
It is.
I like it.
Um, like, uh...
I had a jam band-ass weekend.
I went to Lotus and then I don't know I'm freezing.
Two days in a row.
Oh, yeah, how is, uh, I'm freezing.
They were ripping, dude.
Yeah.
Yeah, they've sold up.
Don't they sound great?
They sold the shit out of the Boulder Theater.
They sound fucking awesome right now.
Yeah, they're so good.
They're never going to be bad.
Scotty's wing.
His mean, he's mean potatoes.
It's all we need out of him.
Yep.
I don't need you to be fucking flashy, Scotty.
Just give me the fucking meat and potatoes.
Right down Main Street.
Right down Main Street.
Let those boys shine.
That's your job.
He sang.
I saw it.
Did he do go chasing Waterfalls?
No, they did.
Oh, did he sing that one when they did it?
Did he did Chasing Waterfalls.
He sang it?
He said, he did the rap.
Oh, that's the count.
He was pretty.
I thought,
Oh, God.
Was he dead?
Is Bob Weird died?
I don't know.
You're Bob Weird.
Pick a different song.
Ooh, I'm sending that to Bayless.
One more Saturday night.
It's kind of.
your theme.
This is the one talking about it.
You love Saturday nights.
I hate them now.
Actually, it's much better to go out on Tuesday.
I've just been getting so overstimulated with people lately.
Yeah, yeah.
I just walk away now.
I love doing that to people.
It's so mean.
And I feel bad.
Yeah.
I just say, hey, I'm sorry.
I'm just a little overstimulated right now.
Oh, then you don't just walk away.
You tell them.
I tell them.
Yeah.
But I still, you know, old me would just listen to the whole fucking,
the 25 or just like
not figure out a way
to get out of the conversation
I've seen there's a guy
in a band that we just recently mentioned
I've seen him backstage at summer camp
we were both talking to some guy
and he was talking about how they both
had the same name and he just turned and walked
away mid-conversation
I don't know to say who it was
that accent kind of rule
we can just believe it was
shut those
they'll just be like blobbing his ear off
and he just turned and left
it was so bad
and left me with the guy
he wasn't like see you as later
bleep that out please
yeah bleep that out please
Yeah, believe out J-Sie because he is a good dude, but
who gets a fuck?
He probably care.
He don't care.
It was actually fucking gangster as shit.
It was so badass, dude.
He just like, the kid was yapping.
And in his defense, he was yapping his ear off for 10 minutes.
I don't even know how he was back there.
It was behind the main stage of summer camp, I don't know, 10 years ago.
And he's talking about how they had the same first name and it was at that point
in the conversation.
Just looks at him and just turns and walks away.
And the kid looked at me like, what the fuck?
I was like, I went.
There's nothing like.
I don't know, man.
Someone who gets into the fucking.
artist catering who you know is just a homie of like one of the big promoters or whatever
yeah and they just fucking talk your ear off and they're chewing really loudly and they're eating
all the catering and just like just doing like obnoxious jokes yeah and they're like telling you
how they're not a fan while they're like being really annoying about being a fan because they don't
want to see him like oh yeah yeah because you know they probably got that fucking stern talk from
the promoter do not fucking fan boy right right oh you know I'm not a fan I know I know I know I'm not a fan
I know everything about you.
Exactly, but they know everything about you in the podcast.
Like, oh, yeah, you're Andy's friend, right?
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
It's like, I know you know.
It's kind of fun.
But, like, then you can't really get out of the conversation.
Always a dude, by the way.
It's never been a woman once.
Yeah.
Men are more annoying.
Men are more annoying than girls.
Especially in groups, especially in public.
Girls rule.
Yeah, they're better.
They're just less.
They're just less.
Just rule.
Just less of them.
They don't.
smell, they're not as big.
They're like just normal. I don't know.
They're just like, they're happy.
They're like nicer. It's like they don't
have to like nag you constantly.
They're, I don't know.
They're better people.
They are. Yeah.
These just kind of gross.
And like,
eh. Hey.
Yeah. They're like, yeah.
I love your bands. Don't want to do a bump.
Want to do a bump in the bathroom?
You're like, no.
Yes. I got this whole bag of ketamine.
Did you want to take it and then go out to the festival?
and walk around for miles and miles and miles.
I found it.
Found.
Yeah, some guy, I saw some guy.
I was at somewhere.
Found it.
The guy asked me if you want to do a pump out of this bag.
He's like, I found it.
I was like, no, dude.
You don't even know what that is.
He's getting taken out on a stretcher later.
He's kidding.
No, I'm kidding.
Yeah.
By the way, festival season is around the corner, people.
Come buy your tickets to any festival.
Literally, guys.
Festals are dropping like flies.
It's very important
I hate to talk to you like a kindergarten teacher
It's your pre-sales
It's very important to support these festivals
Because if you wait last minute
To support these festivals
And I know they're expensive
And also this whole interest
Paying interest for festivals
It's fucking insane
Oh like the payment plan of shit
Yeah
You get to pay interest on it?
No but I've seen some festivals pay interest
Like they charge you interest
It should pay in like four installments
Yeah
I mean it's no different than
That's probably still cheaper.
Take no difference than the credit card.
Probably cheaper, actually.
Probably cheaper because you're not smashing on the...
What I'm saying is like,
know what festivals you're going to go to.
I know you can't go to all of them.
Skip a couple meals.
Skip a couple meals.
Don't pay your car payment.
Don't pay your car.
Yeah.
God, I don't know.
I actually feel bad for these fans.
There's too much shit going on.
Yeah.
You wonder why no one...
I totally feel for you.
There's too much shit going on, guys.
There's too many fucking bands.
There's too many fucking bands.
Like I've been saying for years.
that have the same lineup.
You can't pick your alliance and just go to one.
Yeah, Andes.
You know, go to my festival.
There's too many bands.
I've been saying,
I've been saying, for years.
Some of you guys got to quit.
You're not cut out for this,
and you're ruining it for other people.
What?
Hold on.
Hold on, what, bands?
Yeah.
There's too many of you.
Some of you're not very good.
Okay, let's name bands that need to quit
and we'll bleep them out.
That we know personally.
Well, let's name.
bands that need to quit.
It's over.
You have to bleep that.
You have to bleep that.
I can't live in this town.
I can't live in this town either.
Those are my friends.
To be fair, they're probably thinking of the same thing.
I got one.
Go.
You better bleep this.
I'll fucking.
I swear to God.
I'm keeping the watch.
They don't.
Maybe just because I don't like them.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, that's a good, great one.
I think they should have quit like five years ago.
They always get bleeped off.
What about the older bands?
I know.
Oof.
But they're good.
The thing is, like, the older bands are kind of good.
I know.
Well, the first one I said kind of isn't older band.
I mean, they are actually.
Not string cheese.
I still like them.
Soundtrived.
We had them on the pods.
So no.
It's hard.
You don't want them to.
Biscuits would be funny.
if we told them to quit after giving them
Jam May into the ear, you don't have to bleep that one out
because I'm saying don't.
They don't have to quit, but that'd be funny.
What if he said that the disco business
needs to quit after giving them jamper?
That's so funny.
I mean, that's their peak, right?
So, like, what's the way gonna go from here?
World Savings Award ceremony is the peak of the jam scene.
You get that splice money.
You don't need it.
I know.
I wonder when Barber is going to cash out on that shit.
I don't know how.
I think I have to go public first.
I don't really know how that works, though.
I just hope I'm still friends with him.
You can buy me a boat or something.
Yeah, I'm just,
investing in watches lately mainly it's like that a big thing of yours yeah i'm really into watches
do you like this watch i was going to give it to you is it cool it's cool what is it what is it
time axe would you get this out of the bottom of a lucky charm cereal
i should i put this one on too i put this one on the other wrist oh dude i missed you nick
yeah how's mexico oh mexico yeah please put it on the other wrist other side
Damn, look at you, Mr. Watchman.
They're cool, right?
They feel good.
I like wearing a watch, yeah.
The Rolex looks sick on you.
I don't think anyone.
Louie looks bad in a Rolex.
I mean, some people.
Women?
Do they make, like, women's?
Dude, women look sick in Rolexes.
Do they wear, uh, like, make lady...
They make lady dainty ones.
But I still don't think they should just wear the...
There's a couple of these boss bitches wear the fucking gang's shit.
I think it's more...
Damn.
You're like that dude from Marty Supreme, the guy from Shark Tank.
he wears two watch. Kevin O'Leary. I hate that guy in real life.
Oh, he was good at Marty Supreme. I'm sure he was. He's playing himself. So how can it be?
But like, have you seen where he tries to play guitar? Oh, yeah.
Oh, my God. He's so bad. Why are we gassing him up and making him think he's a lot to play guitar?
I mean, I algorithm him. He's in my algorithm a lot because I'm, I have a bunch of watches.
Am I? Oh, he's a watch guy. Also, you like a couple Down syndrome videos.
Oh, yeah. We talked about this last time.
And fucking everything is there.
Yeah, I know. But they're good. They're at least wholesome.
Did we talk about this? Yeah, they're wholesome at least.
It's so awesome.
It fills my thing with joy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But sometimes I'm like, dude, there's a lot of Down syndrome.
How can there be this many,
as every Down syndrome person on the internet?
This one guy, C, C's the coolest.
It's kind of weird, though.
Sometimes I feel like their parents
are trying to, like, monetize them a little bit.
They fucking for sure are.
They're pointing the video at them.
But then it's like, I don't know.
Do they deserve that?
Like, I don't know.
And, like, how much monetization are they actually making?
I think some of them have,
there's one I follow.
What are they going to do ad reads?
That'd be awesome.
fucking rule.
You just make money off like TikTok or whatever.
Like there's one I follow one.
She has adopted like five Down syndrome kids and she has 1.2 million followers on TikTok.
So I don't know, man.
Pretty good.
Hey, I don't know.
I mean, I love it.
I don't know, man.
Two watches.
Jesus God.
Nikki, two watch.
I love it.
Nikki, two watch.
It's so happy.
It's just I, it's like the same thing going back to like fucking what true love is.
is like, I want to be able to express myself
when I want to express myself.
Even if it's sad, yelling, screaming,
we block a lot of our feelings.
Hungry, tired.
Tired.
Yeah.
Down syndrome.
That's the only emotions I know.
Hungry, tired.
Yeah, man.
What do you mean sad?
What do you mean sad and happy?
It's hungry, tired.
I have to pee.
And I want that.
Autism, too.
I mean, I...
Speaking of Down syndrome.
People who say,
that's a fucking, like,
bad thing.
Fucking shame on you.
Some of them have, like, literal
superpowers of math.
They're so smart.
Yeah.
But I don't understand.
You need to watch down with love on Netflix.
I'm obsessed with down with love.
Okay, okay, you see me.
I love that one.
Obsessed with it.
Yeah, so they need to bring back for season two.
I think
humans are fucking dumb.
Yeah, sort of.
They got a hold.
So, okay, explain.
I mean, we're also very smart
compared to other animals.
Yeah, true.
But yeah, I know what you mean.
But just like,
Holding emotions in is dumb.
Because if you hold anxiety and you get cancer, you die.
Yeah?
Is that what you think?
I agree.
You get cancer from you agree with yourself with your fucking made-up science that you did?
I agree with that.
Okay, so we talked about the bands I need to quit.
Yeah.
What about the bands that need to come back?
That's a better topic, I think.
Okay, definitely.
I can't believe we've approached.
If you have to bleep that out.
I mean, I will.
My life will be over.
Oh, yeah, I can't.
You have to bleat that out.
First one I said is insane.
That one was crazy.
But it's true.
It's so true.
I mean, like, that's the thing.
It's like they might agree.
This is me who's not even in a band.
Can't get in a band to stay my life.
But I'd like to see Dupon come back.
They were truly original and good.
They were.
Rob comp a man, so good.
What about New Deal?
I would love to see a regularly touring New Deal.
New Deal.
I thought they're coming back.
They're on the Onfries Majee.
Yeah, but they're not going to be like.
all around, you know.
Remember their drummer quit?
Because he's Scientologist.
No.
This is before your time.
Hold on.
Hold on.
And it also explained to me what Scientology is because everyone's trying to explain to me.
And it's just been over my head.
Like what is,
what do they believe in?
Who are they giving money to?
Oh my God.
I don't know what they believe in.
Something with alien.
It's basically like a cold where you,
I'm just like it killed.
It's our last podcast ever.
Red Dot all of a sudden.
I'm in the middle of my forehead.
Tom Cruise comes out of the fucking hallway.
John Travolta.
We've got them.
We've got them.
Oh, man.
So it's like they have this thing where like, I don't know, it's something with aliens,
but you have to like upgrade in the church as you go and you don't get to learn.
I could see you falling for it because you get to learn secrets as you go up.
You get more gossip as you get higher in the thing.
So like somehow they, it's basically a real estate company starting to sound like a different religion.
The more I talk about it.
I'm just kidding.
What, Judaism?
Yeah, yeah, I'm kidding.
So fucking dumb ass.
So basically it's like, so maybe it's nothing like Jewish.
It's nothing like Judaism, actually.
It's like a bunch of Hollywood people.
It's a little bit like another religion, real estate and Hollywood people and everything else.
No, I think about it's nothing like Judaism.
It's a bunch of Hollywood people with a bunch of real estate who keep moving to Florida.
So that's nothing like Judaism.
Jesus Christ, like you're on fire today.
Rabbi, get off.
All right, bands that should come back.
Dope pod, new deal.
Dopapod for sure needs to come back.
That band fucking, that's the best jam band out there.
I don't think they were so good.
Who else I was talking about?
Who was I was talking?
Oh, Gantzer?
He says that was...
Aqueas is great.
They were good.
They were good.
Not like dope pot.
I'll take dope hot over them though.
Plus...
I wonder if...
Actually, with Ganser, how Ganser plays now,
he plays so much different than he was in Aqueas.
He's like, it's like this maturity level.
Interesting.
Is he of his baby yet?
One's like...
Comes out in March.
Congratulations to the Gancers.
They just had their baby shower.
March.
Oh, did you guys?
Did you go?
It's in March.
The shower, I mean.
I didn't, but I just saw pictures and it says,
my dad rocks.
Baby showers are weird.
I don't know.
I'm actually against,
baby showers are okay.
Hold on what?
You're against what?
I'm not against baby showers.
I'm firmly against, like,
wedding showers,
bridal showers.
It's a lot of gifts to give a couple.
What's a party?
What are you having a party for?
Your party?
A party for the party.
You're having to celebrating a future party with a party,
and you get more present.
But what are these?
It's all a grift.
Weddings are,
it's a grift.
Being a bride is a fucking grift,
I think.
It's like you get like,
first of all these,
and it's just so you can show
your lonely single friends
that you're getting married basically,
right?
And it's always at some inconvenient time
at like Sunday afternoon,
like 1 p.m.
and you're supposed to be watching football.
And then they get a present
and then they get to like brag
about how they're not lonely.
And then why are they,
what's the present for?
I get a baby shower.
I understand the concept there.
You're helping them,
you're getting them diapers.
You're getting them.
It's like a pre-wedding.
It's like the VIP for a wedding?
Kind of.
But it's like a notch.
And then they get a Bachelorette party too.
Or a bachelor party.
But like,
and so it's like a notch.
I think it's like a bigger party than the Bachelorette party.
You just have it like some like rich whoever's richest parents in their backyard, right?
And then they get more presents.
And like every time you turn around, these brides are getting presents.
And it's like, I thought you got, what's the ring for?
And then you go to the wedding and then they get more presents.
And they make a list of what presents you.
can get them.
And it's like,
well,
you get to pick the gift
and it's like,
at what point are we going to rise
that this is all just a big grift?
It's a scam.
It's a scam.
And it's like,
you're getting your dream here.
We're not like with a baby.
Yeah,
you're,
it's different.
I understand that.
You're getting them diapers
and formula and pants or whatever.
But they're ruining their life.
That's the difference.
I think about that one lonely friend.
Yeah.
Well,
who has to go to every single baby shower.
I feel bad for those ones.
every single VIPO Jack
Let's see what Jack's up to
Our podcast producer is here
He's on the pod
He's on the pod, hold on
Um
God
Don't be shy
He's on the pod
Let's see where he's at
Come here
Let's go in with that
Because I feel for
The lonely sad single woman
Who's a friends
Are all getting married
Before her
But she actually
They usually end up being
Good job Jack
Way to go Jack
So
but like they have to like
but in some ways at least they're not
like rushing into a bad decision because like half
these things end a divorce anyway but I just feel
for them like they gotta go fucking buy double
the presents it's expensive to be a fucking
and then also like all the bachelorette
the bachelorette thing
two grand or whatever you know what at least
and then you gotta pay for the dress
the stupid ass wedding dress if you're in the wedding
pay for the stupid ass wedding dress
so glad I'm not a woman sometimes it's so much
more expensive I feel
for these people they have to like fucking
like what about like that
okay so what about that best friend
who just
you know
the guy she the best friend
maybe they had a falling out they don't hang out anymore
but the guy getting married
doesn't have any other friends
yeah so then you have to make
this guy
like I love you man that movie
yeah or just like no just the best friend
like oh fuck and then you feel bad
you're right then you're at the bastard party
and then you're like the only one
who he actually knows
and you want to just say stuff.
The best zone to be in as a guy friend is, for me,
is why I try to live is like,
you want to be like someone's like seventh best friend, I think.
What do you think?
Seventh?
Yeah, because you don't want to be in the bachelor party.
You don't want to be one of the guys that has to wear tucks
and stand up there and go to the bachelor party and care
and get there at noon and give a shit.
Right.
But you want to be cool enough that you,
or you want to go to the bachelor party,
but you don't want to be in the wedding party.
Right.
So you want to be like just.
good enough friends that you get to go to the strip club like the weekend before and like lose your mind and have a good time.
But you don't want to be such a good friend that you have to commit to anything to help.
I'm literally that friend for everyone.
Me too.
It's kind of rules.
It's the best.
I don't have to be in any fucking party.
I've been in one wedding.
I'll never be a best man.
I mean,
that's too late.
I don't think I'll ever be.
I mean,
I'll probably,
you'll probably be my best man.
Oh,
you're never getting married.
I'm not going to your wedding.
Fuck's that.
I'll give you this watchback as a gift.
That's funny.
I wrap this up.
Just wrap it up.
You forgot.
It was a loaner.
You forgot I had it for 10 years.
That's actually a good point, Nick.
Being the seventh best friend in a wedding group rules.
You go to the titty bar.
Or any group of guys.
You're doing the drugs with everyone.
You're partying.
You go to the wedding.
Everybody likes you because they don't see you that much.
Yes.
No one's over your shit.
No one's over your shit.
It's like, hey, next year.
It's going to be funny for half an hour.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then you don't have to deal with like wearing the same.
fucking tie and suit. Going there at noon
and caring and sweating all day and
like being tired and just fucking caring
about it. Who cares about a wedding? Weddings are the
worst. You know what I mean? By the way, don't have a wedding for
your second wedding either. That's fucking insane.
Jeff. What do you, Jeff Bezos?
Jesus.
Nick, you're on fire.
Well, like weddings, I don't know. Weddings
just pissed me off. I don't know.
What about the, okay, then I feel for the people
who go to the
the travel wedding
and then they get divorced. So you spend all
this money to do this fucking travel wedding
fuck your destination wedding dude
the only reason why I would do a destination wedding
so I cut the fat of who's
coming to the party it's a good way to weed out like
your poor friends from like going to what
you or whatever like if you
don't want any poor people your wedding which is understandable
because the gifts aren't going to be as good you just have it
in Mexico I guess so the gifts are going to be
yeah weddings are for grandmas
weddings for grand yeah but what a yeah true
marriage is such a sham anyway now everybody just
it's divorce or cheats.
So it's like...
I remember when I was a bar mitzvah.
Both my parents have been married like three times.
And it's got to be a lot of pressure to have a great wedding
because everyone's judging her wedding.
Oh, it's a competition, especially if you're first.
It's all fucking competition, like with weddings and like,
oh, the food didn't come in time or oh, they got a food card or whatever the fuck.
It's like, shut up, bitch.
I got married in barbedo.
Oh, Jack's here.
Jack, come up here.
Talk about this.
He got married.
He got married.
married and Barbosa.
That's a ninth.
You just get here, Jack?
That's a Brazilian basketball player.
Our podcast producer is here.
We could talk exactly about this wedding situation.
Jack Gould.
Andy's divorced.
First time on the show, Jack.
I think I had the other show before, but.
Hey, Jack.
Hey, but he's been divorced.
They're all looking like,
I'm like,
no, yeah, this is exactly the point
is I got divorced
and I also had a destination wedding
in Barbados.
In Barbados.
Hold on what.
Okay, so,
how did you feel
put the mic a little closer
how did you feel for your friends
who fucking traveled to Barbados
to come and celebrate you
and then you got divorced
not great except I did
help a lot of them
go to the wedding in the first place
oh that's actually respect
I booked some Airbnbs and stuff
okay
so in your brain
did you think I could wean the fat
a little bit I could maybe
less people will show up because it's in Barbados.
Yeah, for sure, but it wasn't like the right people that didn't show up, you know?
Really?
Like what?
Oh, really?
Yeah, like my dad couldn't come.
Oh, fuck.
Yeah.
Okay.
So, bummer.
Not the smartest decision for a wedding, especially now that I'm divorced.
I fucking got that Airbnb for that piece of shit friend I had in college that helped me run my show festivals.
Exactly.
Yeah.
questions and we'll let you go.
All right.
Traveling there, does that mean the gifts were worse?
Because they had to travel this far.
Were the gifts worse?
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely.
I didn't really get much gifts from, it was like their presence.
Do you regret that?
Kind of.
You wanted the gifts.
I mean, yeah.
And the money.
Now I'd have to like give most of them to my ex anyway.
So, yeah.
Respect.
It's part of divorce, Jack.
You wanted this life.
Yeah.
How was the sex like as a vacation?
How is a wedding sex?
How's wedding sex?
Wedding sex was cool.
You're too drunk?
No, I rolled.
I ate some molly.
Oh, okay, cool.
Nick, any questions?
Nick's never going to get married.
It's common law by now.
Okay.
One last question.
Where have you been?
Where have I been?
Today?
Yeah.
Oh, I was filming a video for a company called GoTracks.
So I guess we should start talking about our marketing company while you're here.
Oh, yeah, okay, sure.
Jack and I are starting a marketing company.
And Jack has basically been on my ass for the last six months about getting on the internet.
And I feel like I've ever been making you proud?
Oh, yeah, big time, man.
Let's go.
Big time.
Thank you.
I'm working hard.
I got someone to bounce off ideas.
We're starting a consulting firm, a marketing consultant.
consulting for bands.
People have been asking about it.
Jack, tell them a little briefing before we let you off.
This is a free plug where I'm going to charge you for this after this.
You're the president.
All right.
Well, so people have been asking about this because they've seen all the dumb shit you've been putting on the internet.
And it's been doing really well.
It's been doing really well.
Yeah, numbers are good.
And so that kind of led me to think, hey, maybe we should take this show on the road and teach some other people how to make stuff.
Do we have a name for the marketing company yet?
No, I do not.
Okay, cool.
Respect.
I like this.
This is still a fresh idea?
It's very fresh.
So any bands you need help, consulting,
haul out your boys,
and we will set you up with Jack.
And I like to say,
Jack,
thank you so much.
You've been really killing this podcast.
Thanks, man.
I think he's been doing a good job.
What do you think his report card is, Nick?
It's all a B plus A minus.
B plus A minus.
B plus seems by right to me.
I think you did good.
I think we're building a brand with the pod.
Our reels are getting better.
I think we're more focused.
We're more dialed in.
and because of you, thank you.
Oh, well, thanks, man.
Appreciate it.
Good to be on the pod.
That doesn't mean you can't go to fucking work sometimes, Jack.
Right, for sure.
Well, thanks for bringing me on to talk about my divorce and my wedding that I regret.
That was great.
All right, have a great day.
Yeah.
Thanks, guys.
Good luck.
Thank you.
Thank you, Jack.
Thank you.
Thank you, brother.
God bless.

Quick break from the interview.
I want to talk about our lovely sponsor, Gardinista.
Gardenista is the freshest, most delicious, ready-to-serve cocktail, and it's unlike anything
you ever tasted.
It really isn't.
It's really nice, actually.
It's made with natural ingredients, green herbs, ginger, lime juice, organic cane shure.
I didn't know that it had organic cane shure.
That's what I tasted.
I love the jalapino.
The jalapeno is nice.
A subtle kick, a perfectly balanced with premium spirits, tequila, vodka, or bourbon.
You can pick between these green juices having tequila, vodka, or bourbon, which is pretty sick.
My favorite is the vodka one.
It feels good with the spice.
Tequila's good.
And the tequila is my favorite.
Yeah.
And it's only 98 calories.
Damn, I didn't know that.
It's only 98 calories.
Oh, a little skinny bitch over here.
Yes, bitch.
I'm a little skinny bitch when I drink gardenista.
It's 98 calories per serving and 15% alcohol.
ABVs alcohol? Alcohol by volume.
Wow, that's strong drink.
No wonder.
I normally pull it out when I have those 3 a.m. parties after the bars.
And it's fucking bomb.
And it's kind of like a nice talking.
Like you feel like I put some ice in it and it's a nice conversational piece.
So you could order it at their shop, drink, gardenista.com.
And for listeners of the World Savant Podcast, please use the code Frasco for 20 to get 20
send off your first order. That's Frasco,
the word for F-O-R-20.
I love this shit. I know you will too.
And Jason, who runs the company,
is just a great guy.
That's not what he said to say.
Oh, he told us to say. Also, my best friend,
Jason has a huge hog. And that's true.
So grab Gardenaista and let
them know Frasco and Jason's huge hog sent you.
All right, goodbye for the interview.
What do you think of Jack?
I just said it.
What do you think of him?
While he's walking down the stairs.
I like Jack.
We look the same sports teams.
We do.
I like Jack.
I think you really helped our lives.
How do I get on?
Can you hear me?
Oh,
it's this.
Oh,
I also,
how does Fro from Dope But have money
to go to all these vacations?
We're trying to figure out how he goes to Hawaii.
Like,
what's he do?
Yeah.
We know Dan,
well,
we don't pay him that much.
All right.
Very suspicious.
Maybe it's girlfriend's rich.
You think he's what?
Trust fun?
No,
She has a job.
Do you think he's got a trust fund?
Every woman is rich isn't just because they have a trust fund.
They have jobs too.
No,
I'm talking about fucking,
Fro you fucking.
I'm kidding.
Don't try to patronize me.
I don't get out of this marketing company.
I want a part of this.
You want to be part of this?
I am pretty good at YouTube now.
Yeah.
And by the way, Nick,
I do need to make some more money.
I haven't really been.
I'm just,
money's not tight right now.
I'm just not really making any money.
You're holding.
You literally have two watches on.
You have a Rolex.
I'm not really making money lately.
I just got to get my bottom line.
Yeah,
I can run the YouTube for that company.
We should really, hey, Jack, we're really serious about this?
Yeah.
All right, I'm in.
I'll be the head YouTube guy for them.
Might as well start another company.
Fuck it.
I'll be the YouTube consultant for your marketing company.
Boom, got it.
God knows the music industry is just fucking just tanking.
The best thing about helping bands of marketing is they have so much money to throw around for this kind of stuff.
I know.
Well, you know, if we could convince it's the, it's the hoarders.
It's the fucking record labels who are putting, they're allegating money to records and singles into the wrong
It's like, who gives a fuck about a Spotify ad?
I was talking to John Shields about this.
I'm like, yo, send me what their record label did to promote their last record.
I want to see what's up because we're about to release a new song.
And I want to see how they're allegating the marketing money because we have, what's our budget, Jack?
We have no budget.
Yeah, that's really bad.
We have no budget and we are kicking ass.
Yeah.
We added 25,000 people in a month and a half.
Creativity is better than money.
yeah well it's just being
strategic with the money you have
instead of just like throwing shit out of
because everyone throws shit at that same wall
eventually the wall
just filled with one color shit
yeah the problem with managers is they're not
that was really poetic yeah
thank you they're not in
I'm gonna clap for myself
the problem is a lot of managers I don't want to say
every managers they're not
you're not inherently creative people that's why they're managers
so the fact that they probably shouldn't be the ones
in charge of allocating
marketing budgets and so all they do is just copy
whatever someone else is doing.
Manages aren't that creative.
They're always like five years behind too, by the way.
They are.
I'm surprised you,
like,
they're not like,
you should get on Facebook.
You guys need to get on Facebook.
Y'all need to get a TikTok going.
Yeah,
no shit, dude.
I'm like,
yeah,
I mean,
we've,
TikTok's been going on.
Yes,
yeah,
let's get a TikTok.
Here's your 10%,
dude,
like,
you know what?
I think you need to get on the internet
more and make some more real.
No,
no shit.
I'm already doing that.
Been doing that for 15 years,
brother.
What else do you want to say?
Yeah.
Bitch.
I just don't.
Managers are funny.
I got lucky with mine.
I do like your manager and a couple others.
I got some tists with them too, though.
Whatever,
you're in Andy.
I know,
but I think,
you know.
No,
I get it.
But I'm just saying
in general managers
are just guys
that got met someone.
In general management is kind of weird.
They're just some guy
that met someone in college
and they got famous,
whether they would have been their manager or not.
Then they can pretend they're the ones
that did it and they're not creative at all.
And they're pussy.
and they're scared of other managers.
Stop being pussies, dude.
I can't talk about it.
Your job is to be mean so your artist doesn't have to.
Oh, let's play that game which managers should quit.
Okay.
Oh, I got one.
You got one?
All right, what is it?
Are you going to bleep it out?
Hey, Joe and Jack bleep this out like we said,
what band should quit?
Thank you.
Just,
B, that's manager.
Jesus Christ.
We can't even tell.
We can't even say what manager.
company he's in.
Yeah.
Okay.
Brian Schwartz.
I'm just kidding.
No, we love Brian.
I like him actually.
Um.
I don't know enough to really.
Oh, I know.
I have one.
Okay.
Um.
I only know him.
I don't think I know him.
He does.
Oh, I don't know him.
I can't even, I can't even say that the man to get killed.
Um.
So anyway, Scientology is.
like this.
Who should be a manager?
Oh, that's, you could probably do it.
I would be a great manager.
You'd be a great manager.
You'd probably be a better manager than a piano player.
I basically,
for sure,
that's not even actually an up for debate.
No,
I'd be a way better manager than a piano player.
Let's see.
You know how else would be a good manager?
I think I'd be a good agent compared to manager.
You'd be a good agent.
Not manager, though.
I can't.
You know who'd be a good manager?
Kevin Shields.
Yeah?
Yeah.
I don't know him.
well enough to really comment on that, but I believe you.
And then, um...
That's the fun one, right?
No, John Shields is the fun one.
Okay.
Kevin is kind of like...
He's engaged.
Everything sucks, but...
Oh, really?
He's kind of like down on that.
Why, he's in love?
I don't know, he still has that shaded darkness.
It's the love.
But he does have...
He has been happier since he had Sarah, so shout out for to Sarah.
I like Kevin.
He's a good dude.
He's a real.
He's a real motherfuckercker.
I like...
Sometimes, like...
A couple years ago, and I was heavy on the blow.
I'd be, it'd be 6 a.m.
We're all just hanging out.
He's like, I'd be just talking about.
I don't want to fucking quit.
He's like, yeah, you should fucking quit.
Just quit.
Should we get some nitrous?
Just quit.
Kind of sounds flannel.
Just watch a TV.
Sounds way better than going on.
That's what we did that day.
I remember right to scathen left?
You're probably like, where's Nick?
Oh, dude, you just walked out.
I don't really like saying.
Like, we all knew.
What's the point?
Actually, that sounds kind of fun to do.
You want to just do that and watch some television?
Maybe.
I have to check in with the boss, my manager.
You're why?
Julie would be a good manager.
She'd be an awful manager.
She's too shy.
Oh, these guys are going to have,
they're going to hate editing this episode.
She'd be a terrible manager.
She'd be a good day to day, but she's too shy.
Oh, you know, we haven't even talked about Mexico.
I know.
Get into it.
Okay.
A lot of things went down.
Set the scene.
So we bought this hotel.
We bought this hotel in Toto Santos.
and I was trying to back out of it.
This is my first time being exclusive about backing out of it.
I've been telling you this.
Yeah, yeah.
I didn't want to spend the money.
I didn't think that the economy's kind of fucked up.
I shouldn't be spending it on this leisurey fucking hotel thing.
And I went in there.
I'm like, oh, my God, I'm fell in love with it.
It's just in a small town, yada, yada.
So we were in, we paid, we got it.
I went in there.
And just like, you know, it's kind of Jimmy rigged.
you know, it's Mexico.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's not going to be this pro thing.
So, you know, there's a couple bands who are on it, like lettuce or like, you know.
Oh, the festival, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So it's, it's, it's basically a civil war between the looseness of Mexico bands and the crew and the professionalism of people trying to run a festival.
No, just like what some bigger tier bands expect.
in their performance.
Right.
You know.
So it was kind of a little philosophy, you know, humbling.
Yeah, yeah.
But we, after a couple days and we realized what we're all getting ourselves into,
we're like, we all played ball.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But there was this one crazy thing that happened to fucking fruition.
Go.
Some guy, I get, some, like, local.
And Jacob and Megan, you know Megan, Megan rules, and Jacob rules.
They have twins.
I don't know him as well.
The mom fucking rules.
Oh, his mom or her mom?
Megan's mom rules.
I could see that.
She rules.
She's hot.
She's like, I'm like, damn, you're hot as fuck.
She was hot.
I like older women.
So I thought she was a attractive woman.
Megan's hot too.
I mean, it's in the jeans.
She's going to be, that whole lineage is going to be hot.
But this guy ran his car into the hotel.
Into the hotel room and was kind of dazed out and started pounding on.
her door saying, open up.
And like, she's got twins.
She's vulnerable.
And Jay, too.
And like, poor Jay and like the mom, like,
scared.
You're in Mexico.
Random.
Okay.
Complete, complete random.
He thought this guy was having this episode.
Right.
He's probably just whacked on him below or something.
They said low blood sugar.
But how do you,
he don't get like that.
Come on.
You don't get like that.
It's cocaine.
But like, I've never been like that on cocaine.
cocaine have you?
No, I try not to.
And he's pounding on the doors and pounding on the doors.
And then the cops had to come and they're calling the cops.
Like, please, we are scared.
This guy's trying to get.
And then the guy tried to go in through the back and fucking pound on the door.
Jesus.
And it was just this guy who was just like, kind of like just losing his mind.
And they took him to jail and shit.
And like, they took him to hospital and just mental ward.
They should have kept his car, Jay.
Jane Megan
This is a great way
to promote this festival
by one fucking cream
But everything else was great
I mean we played on the beautiful
On the beach
Saw all those views
Yeah
It's unbelievable
And like you know
You're on the beach
And there's a thousand
It's a thousand people
Who live there
It's just like
It's the coolest place
But that was that one hiccup
And then Adam Dites
fell off the stage
Which was
I'm sorry what
Fucking hilarious
That sounds so funny dude
Dude it was
I
Because he's like he's like
Him doing something
Embarrassing is so funny
And him just being
embarrassed.
He's not like you or he like,
actually,
me and I'm pretty sure
we're talking about you
actually about how you like
they're like,
how does he just do all the stuff?
I was like,
Andy doesn't have the ability
to get embarrassed.
He's like,
you know how Dawes can like shit
in front of traffic?
That's kind of like you.
You can do that.
But like,
Dyche doesn't like that at all.
Like,
Dyche doesn't like to be vulnerable
like that.
So him falling off the stage
was probably insane.
Oh,
it was great.
It was great.
You didn't get hurt or anything.
He didn't get hurt.
He didn't get hurt.
He may fucked up his words a little bit,
but whatever.
Yeah.
It was just, you know, I love Dyche, but sometimes it gets a little ahead of himself a little bit.
He's a good buddy. He's a good buddy of mine.
He's a good dude, but it was really funny to see him fall off that stage.
He just fell into the sand and shit.
Oh, okay.
Well, that's all right.
But he heard of him.
He's like, fuck, mother.
I know.
I could see how pissed he would get.
He could be so pissed.
You know who's been melling him out?
He's got this new girlfriend.
Yeah, yeah.
She's cool.
And she's really fucking cool.
I think I met her once.
And I think it's melling him out.
Yeah.
It's good.
Getting laid regularly.
we'll do that to a man.
Yeah.
But like, no, he's like, I've never seen Dites like going like on a kayak.
Yeah.
Motherfucker is kayaking and hiking and shit.
Oh yeah?
Yeah, I want to see.
Yeah, I guess he's not really the outdoorsman, is he?
Fuck no.
More of a vampire.
I've never seen that man out in the daylight.
He was really good in sinners.
Oh my God.
It's a vampire movie.
He was in sinners?
No, I'm kidding.
I'm just joking about him being a vampire.
Yeah, he's always.
he's at night. So I think this girl's
mellow him out. I think, because you know, like
if normally if Dites would have fell off
the stage, he would have went ballistic. Yeah.
There's absolutely ballistic. He kind of like
laughed at himself and fucking shook it off and
fucking kept it moving.
Good old Adam. He also hung out
with those really cool, Zootis. He's the man.
Sootis rules.
So chill.
Nice of how it was being weird.
A lot of good sex players down there.
Yeah, we had Drew Sayers. Not me.
I don't know. I didn't. I thought
I thought Scott liked you.
No one invited.
I don't think Scott likes me anymore, I guess.
That's bullshit.
Maybe next year.
He also lost his ass on that thing.
I'm not mad about it, but maybe you should tell us.
I don't think we're going to fund it again.
Maybe we're not going to fund it again.
Well, tell Scott to hire me for more stuff this year next time he talks.
It's two different philosophies.
I think, I think the locals should run that festival.
Yeah, I believe it.
Because it is an amazing festival.
It's like South by Southwest from Mexico.
It's such a great experience.
I'm get to go.
I'm going to the umpries one.
It's a lot of you cool.
You want to come to the house after?
We're going straight to Cabo after the Cancun thing.
Oh, maybe.
That'd be cool.
I thought the vessel was in Cabo.
It's not.
It's in Cancun.
It's on the other side of the country.
It's in mainland.
Isn't Cancun and mainland?
Yeah, it's on the...
But this is Baja.
From the Gulf Coast, isn't it?
But it's on inside Mexico.
Cabo is Baja.

Don't do that to him.
Hey, Scott, we got Nick on the line.
No, talk to him about the Mexico thing.
Don't do that.
They just don't do as much stuff.
I am doing something there with Cotter from Goose in a couple months next month.
Oh, and Cervantes?
It's like me, Cotter, a couple of his homies and someone else.
We haven't really flushed it out yet, but I'm doing a gig there with Codder.
Doesn't Cotter look like one of those pirates from Hook?
Welcome Mac.

There are goose in the headlines lately.
Are they okay?
Yeah, I think that's probably a good sign.
I think they haven't been playing so many shows.
They just announced their fucking, they're doing a mass and square garden again,
so they must be doing okay.
It's fucking awesome.
Good for them.
I think they're in two nights.

Because they can.
It's fucking...
They're just jealous.
Some fucking jealous fucking losers.
Let the fucking...
Jam-Ban fans are kind of insufferable online.
They are a little insufferable.
I've been slowly getting out of all those jam-band pages.
They have too many theories and they think it's like...
They think the jam-band scenes like way bigger than it is.
Like, no one's...
It's not. No one cares about the jam-man.
No one's going to do a conspiracy in this scene, dude.
There's no fucking...
There's nothing...
What do they have to gain to fucking...
What, yeah, the Peter Shapiro's shit and...
So they can lose $8 grand?
What's the point of, like...
I don't know.
I think they think the Luminati is way cheaper than it actually is.
And they don't know anything about like what a manager is or who's a manager or like what a tour manager is compared to Ritz.
Like everybody, they all think they're experts on it and it's just getting kind of old.
Well, we're also just old.
We're just bored of it.
But we say it's getting old and then we talk about all this shit every week.
It's true.
I thought it was stupid always.
Everyone when I was younger.
It's just dumb.
It's always like non-musicians.
We literally made award ceremony of jam band drum.
Yeah, but that was funny.
It was.
It was funny.
Yeah, and also I know what I'm talking about and they don't.
We've got the inside source.
I know what a fucking a major court is.
It's like probably like if you were like Patrick and Mahomes listen to us, talk about football.
Like what's the fuck are these guys?
Oh, you know who else was there?
Who I love?
John Craigie.

Then yes.
They're so cool.
And John Cruey's just so cool.
Jack Craigie is so cool.
I didn't realize how little John Craigie was.
When he hung out with him a hundred times.

He's like a dainty dude.
Funny guy, actually.
He's like a toothpick.

Trying to take his turf or something
Out there in Mexico
I'm like I'm not trying to take your turf
Let's just all help each other out
Let's we got to play in the same sand pit
There's two men
This town is too small
To have fucking beef on this
I talked to them about this
Are they from there or what's their deal
They live there's six months
once out of the year.
Weird.
That's what I want to do.
What do they do for money?
I want to...
It doesn't cost that much
but also they make money.
Cordova's make money.
I mean...
Okay.
And Joe, Joe, he fucking
made a shit.
He used to be fucking Carson Daly's
like band director.
What?
Yeah, he was like they had
music director.
On that one show he had,
the late night show?
The late night Carson Daly show.
That show went for so long.
It went for like 20 years
and I don't think...
I know seven people
would have seen it.
It was fucking talented.
Carson Dealey.
I mean, all the Cervantes crew, I mean, we're all drinking the Kool-Aid over there at TOTA Sato.
We fucking love it.
It's cool.
You can convince me Carson's Daily never existed.
I don't remember his late-night show.
I remember Daly or the T.F.
It's on after Conan for half of the time.
What is it?
T-L-C-R-L.

I don't know, count his skateboard money.
He kept that fucking, he legit kept that TV company around.
He's like a psycho now.
What do you mean?
Like, he's like a type A fucking CEO, like fucking.
He's always been scheduled out his whole day, like from the...
He started DC.
Yeah, I know.
That's true.
We need to get him on the show.
It's just interesting to go from like...
We got Tony Hawk.
We get Deerjerk on the show.
He's a biz man.
From skateboarding guy to like,
fucking.
He had a rev share in MTV too.
Yeah, for sure he did.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
DC, fucking,
probably Pepsi, I don't know.
Banquet.
But overall, I would give that festival B plus.
Pretty good, pretty good.
And I'm going to be doing it every year.
I think.
I thought you just said they weren't doing it again.
They're doing it every year.
They're doing it.
Joe is.
I'm going to play because I'm like local there.
Oh, you're saying Scott's not going to be involved in it.
He's going to be involved, but I don't think we're going to bring like, I don't know.
A whole Denver crew down.
I don't think there's turf war going on.
Really?
It was weird a little bit
Coon's there
Yeah I couldn't believe Coon showed up
Why I don't know
He's like a hundred kids

Feels like a hundred
And they're in
And they're little
They're his kids
So they're like real little
They are and it's hard to travel
Him and Sarah are so little

They're probably easy to keep
They're probably hard to keep track of actually
And also like let them have their own

do you feel the podcast getting bigger?
Everyone,
I do.
The videos are getting more numbers.
They're getting more traction.
Yeah.
It's just,
people are just,
ADHD, short-formed people.
We're getting positive feedback
on our interviews, too,
from people,
except for the comedian ones
because every comedian
just divides every crowd in half.
Next week, we have wolves of Glendale.
They're funny.
They were funny.
And then who?
And then we have Nancy Wilson
Yeah, that was a great interview.
And then I'm going to do a podcast with the band.

I wasn't on that one because remember there was too many of them.
I was, you know, it's like I had to rev them up a little bit.
You know, they're bluegrass.
Bearsack would be a good clip.
But the Bears attack.
Some guy got mauled by a bear in that.
I got shit this pants on stage.
But they ended up loosening up and we had a great conversation.
At first, they thought I was like attacking stories.
Check out Magoo.

Yeah, it's very funny.
I was curious why Barbara was on that bill.
But whatever.
It's kind of smarter, actually.
They need to get on the Cervantes stuff.
It's also like better to have two bands and also have the same crowd anyway.
Exactly.
All right, guys.
Good luck.
