Starting point is 00:00:00 What's up motherfuckers? Yeah, I'm on tour. This is a very unprofessional podcast, but it's done in person with the chart-topping noise nick, Drew, Andrew DeGiorio, from a band called Strait on the Path. They're very political. I personally don't agree with their opinions. But, you know, I've got to have a platform for all opinions.

Starting point is 00:00:45 atomic's artwork you all ask for it oh I don't want the vinyl I just want the t-shirt now you can get the t-shirt but the trick is you have to buy the vinyl with the t-shirt and that's not my fault that's because the label It had to go through the label, and the label needs to sell some records.
Starting point is 00:01:01 And don't get me wrong, we're sending fucking shit loads of records that's going to number one. But buy some more.

Starting point is 00:02:02 And now we're just Enjoying some nice relaxing time You have a piece tea I have a vitamin water That's a plug right there. I have a drink called piece tea, which is, I think it's a litre, 1.4 pints, which is a huge can. It's America.
Starting point is 00:02:22 It's fucking insane. It has 41 grams of sugar in it, and it tastes amazing. It's probably responsible for many people's deaths. Yeah, or diabetes or whatever. I have a vitamin water, focus, kiwi strawberry, flavored and other natural flavor with sweeteners. That's how they get you. Mine says zero percent juice on the front as if it's like a positive. Hey, zero percent juice in this.
Starting point is 00:02:45 Zero percent fat, zero percent juice. Yeah. So we're on a tour. Oh, Gabe's here as well. Say hi, Gabe. Hello. Gabe the pigeon. Gabe the pigeon is a photographer.
Starting point is 00:02:56 He's a very good photographer. Photographer. I was about to say he's a very good pigeon. He's a very good pigeon. He's a wonderful, delightful young man. He is young. Gabe. How old are you?
Starting point is 00:03:07 I'm 25. He's 25. 25, remember that? Seven years younger than me. So when I was seven, you were nutting. Jesus Christ. When I meant nothing, not nothing. Were you nutting or nothing?
Starting point is 00:03:21 I meant nothing but also nutting. When you were seven, you were being nutted. This isn't your podcast actually, Gabe. Fuck off. Well done, Gabe, for being born seven years. is early. Early. Oh, no, he's born later than me.
Starting point is 00:03:44 This is a professional podcast. Keep it up. We're on tour, aren't we? Yes, we are. Because our album comes out. Our album comes out in what, two days, right? Two days the 30th? Yeah?
Starting point is 00:03:56 Two days until the ripping internal automatics comes out. Hell yeah, we're on tour with counterparts, chamber, varials, dying wish is on this private room 2.0 tour. Yeah, it's been sick. It's good to have you back. What was it like not having me? In Japan?
Starting point is 00:04:17 Yeah. It was insane. Well, first of all, the whole thing was insane. Like, just getting to the airport and, like, just landing there and you just not being there. Within seconds of being in the vehicle in Japan, we almost got into a car wreck. Really? Yeah, it was not. But, no, I mean, yeah, it just didn't feel like we were.
Starting point is 00:04:37 a band. You know what I mean? It was just like, all right, I guess we're just going to play some shows with Matt, the drummer that filled in for you. Don't get me wrong. Great drummer,
Starting point is 00:04:47 fantastic human being, delight to have it around. It was just, you know, with all things said, you not being there, you know, you having the fucking shit that you went through.
Starting point is 00:04:56 And having six or seven months off previously, it was just an interesting situation to walk into. That murdered me. Yep, I know. Mertedly and physically. Not that that was the problem, but it didn't help. No, not at all.
Starting point is 00:05:12 There was already this anxiety of got shows coming up, and it's like been off for seven months, and then it's like you have 120 days on. Yeah, yeah. So that was playing on the back of my mind. How about you? Well, seven months off for me was insane. We've never had that happen in the history of this band, you know,
Starting point is 00:05:33 and we've been doing this, you know, for, you know, a decade now and then some. So it was a very big adjustment for me to go from like, because like, you know, we finished the record in what? April? Yeah, middle of April, whatever. And then about what I did is afterwards is I packed up my car in New York and I drove down to Florida to live there for two months with my brother who lives down there.
Starting point is 00:05:59 So that was sick. But like after two months of that, you know, I was like, what's happening. Like, I don't know what to do it myself. Like, I need to be back on tour. So, you know, you always get that, though. You get home from a tour and it's like either like two weeks or a month go by and you're like, all right, I don't, I need to be back on the road.
Starting point is 00:06:17 Like, I'm bored. I'm losing my mind. I don't know what to do. It's you just... Picking up dog shit. I was rocking. I was rocking a month ago. Now I'm picking up dog shit.
Starting point is 00:06:28 Yeah. Don't give me wrong. Love to pick up dog shit. Yeah. But give me one month on, one month off the rest of my life. That's the perfect, that's the perfect thing. But, you know, it doesn't work like that. It doesn't happen.
Starting point is 00:06:39 I bet if you're only ever headlining, I bet you could do it. Yeah, you could, but, you know, you run into the situation of, you know, venues being available, other tours happening. And you'd overplay, wouldn't we? What was that? You'd overplay, for sure. Yeah, you'd want to saturate any market, which is why we took that time off because we had done every market twice with Only Death is Real. so like there really wasn't like we could have what maybe gone to somewhere crazy like somewhere crazy that we haven't been like south america or russia or something like that
Starting point is 00:07:14 but like we weren't going to do that we made the right decision what we did was the right decision it was just a lot to handle it's like in your head you're like oh seven months off that's sick i could do whatever i want actually when i think of it we weren't supposed to have seven months off but something fucked up with the headliner didn't it a band point pulled out the headliner was supposed to be earlier, which would have made this tour earlier. Right. So fuck you. Fuck you, everyone.
Starting point is 00:07:43 But here we are. Now we're about to start 120 days together. We've started 120 days together. I'm looking at my phone as if I have notes. There's none. There's no notes. You're in the elevator before you go. All right, we're going to hit four points.
Starting point is 00:07:57 First point. Hello. Fourth point. Goodbye. Goodbye. We might as well talk about the album. because it will probably, will it be out by the time I do this?
Starting point is 00:08:07 Maybe. I might just upload this today though, but it's out in either two days or today. I'm so good at this. Joe Rogan, eat your heart out. And it's very good. It's probably the best out of my've heard. What about you?
Starting point is 00:08:18 Well, you know, being in this band, as being on most of the records that people know about, I think it's the best, straight from the path record for many different reasons. I think it's, A, the heaviest, the most thought out
Starting point is 00:08:36 lyrically, musically. It's got groovy parts, it's got hooks, it's got really heavy breakdowns, it's just got it all. And I think a big thing that separates this record from all the rest is when you came in
Starting point is 00:08:55 when you joined the band and only death being your first record with the band it was a new environment that you were stepping into for all of us, you know, the writing process, just having you in the band. And this one, watching you and Tom, you know, write the songs together and, you know, create it. It was like, you
Starting point is 00:09:12 were more comfortable being in the band, you know, especially with this record. And I think you could really tell from that when you listen to it. You know, it's like, oh, okay, like this is, they got their lane. They found their lane with it. I had a few comments from people saying,
Starting point is 00:09:29 which I took in a positive way actually people saying this kind of sounds like what Dan would have done but you know on steroids because you're fucking jacked you sexy bastard but no
Starting point is 00:09:42 because and the thing was and I answered him I wasn't like offended I was like well that will happen if you spend two years playing someone else's part I mean obviously I also did only death is real but then feels that I had to learn from old songs sort of just became part of my
Starting point is 00:09:59 style like a blob Like the film, the movie The Blob. Like the movie The Blob. Yes, just like that. Exactly like that. That's the movie The Blob. No, I mean, I think, you know, Dan's a great drummer, but, you know, you guys are two totally different drummers.
Starting point is 00:10:14 And like, you know, from being in the band with him and, you know, now being the band with you, it's a world of a difference. Like, it's just, it's just different. You know what I mean? Like, and like I said before, you know, the biggest thing was like the writing process, you know, like even songs on only death or, or internal Atomics,
Starting point is 00:10:33 you know, when we were like, we need a cool drum part and you would just start a fucking sick drum part and then Tom would write this crazy ass riff and then it's like, oh,
Starting point is 00:10:41 we have a minute and a half of music that we get... Yeah, exactly. Yeah, exactly. And it's like, you know, when you get to that point, especially with us, it's like, you know,
Starting point is 00:10:51 we've been working with Will Putney for the past, what is this, his fifth record... Downbeat alumni. Downbeat alumni, Will Putney. The worst recording episode ever from a
Starting point is 00:11:03 Grammy nominated producer. So insane. But you know, it was, you know, having material like that and structures of songs to feel so comfortable with to bring to Will where like not that much changed, you know, I think is, uh, was really cool.
Starting point is 00:11:19 And I think Will, you know, you could, you could tell when Will is stoked. You know what I mean? Like he'll like sit up in his chair. Yeah. Do like the beard rub thing that he does. Because me and Will listen to a lot of the same bands as well. So when I'm like, Here's a fucking stupid drum idea. Maybe it would be, everyone else would be like, is that cool?
Starting point is 00:11:36 But we'll be like, yeah. Yeah, but you also understand music, like, in a way that none of us do. Like, you could read sheet music. We can't. You know what I mean? Like, you're a fucking metal math guy. Oh, shit. I hate you.
Starting point is 00:11:54 Yeah. We're going to get this fucking professional bit out of the way. We're going to talk about the album a bit more because everyone's like, this is still fun, I'm still learning. I'm going to pre-order it immediately right now, because first week sales are everything, guys. Everything. Everything.
Starting point is 00:12:07 For my ego and for getting cool tours and shit like that. The numbers count, so buy the goddamn fucking t-shirt with the record. Yeah, because that is fucking, you get a vinyl and you get a download, so that counts as two. Two. I don't know I'm supposed to tell you this, but that's why it exists. And I would love to double down. Speaking of the songs, that's the name of the song on the album, what's your favorite song in the album?
Starting point is 00:12:35 That's a great question. Thank you. I'm a professional interviewer. Right now, I'd have to say second death because we played it live for that live nation, the noise thing on that roof, and I really enjoyed playing it live. but I don't know because we haven't played all these songs live so I don't know when I listen to the record I'd probably say second death and then after playing it I'm like yeah this is this is the one I've you know it's just like fun and you know not for you yeah but that is fun it's like a risk reward thing for me it's like if I nail this I'm having fun if I fuck it up no fun I think I think
Starting point is 00:13:18 I'll have you know I'll be able to actually have a favorite once we you know the records out and we're like, you know, playing certain songs, like maybe like a couple months from now. I feel like that's one of the ones which could have been a single. 100%. I really, really like beneath the surface, too, because it's a very different song for us. And we've always been, like, trying to write a song like that even before you're in the band. But, like, you know, the way it tells a story and just the message behind it and just the way it sounds, you know, it's just, it's in the pocket.
Starting point is 00:13:48 It's just cool. It's just an overall cool song to me where it's like just bobby, head to it and just like vibe out with it you know if anyone doesn't read lyrics which is all of you because no one read the please read the fucking lyrics and then maybe read a fucking book yeah and then put the two together and figure out the concepts behind the lyrics it's so funny where people i saw people with fortune tell are like oh i'm glad glad they've gone off politics it's like if you add a fucking brain you would know the song is about how boomers have fucked everything for us. And nobody likes Twin Peaks, just
Starting point is 00:14:23 away from it. Dragon Neck doesn't I do, but we just thought... No, I mean, it's cool, but it's not any... There's not a relation. I saw some guy wrote some massive theory about how the song is about Twin Peaks. Well, he's a fucking idiot. It's just a cool line. I'm sorry. I can't say shit like that. Yeah, you can.
Starting point is 00:14:40 It's just a cool line. And actually, you know, the concept of fire walking with me, as in, like, walking through Coles, as in the boomers have left us this fucking dog shit fire path and you know what we're going to do we're just going to walk straight through it and fucking be the best we're asking you to join us yeah to fire walk with us i don't mean us i mean us collectively
Starting point is 00:15:02 as the human race millennials bloody millennials and gen z are we gen z you're not gen z you young little fuck i think we are gen z we're gen z we're gen z what up he's millennial bloody millennial in my bed i got a millennial male in my bed that's really a double-in-s that's That's liberal. You got a double M in your bed. I'm going to suck that dong layer. Nice. They call me, uh, never mind.

And that, that concludes the roundup of the, the, uh, promotional stuff. Tom, we did the promotional bit. There's a promotional stuff. So now we're going to talk about the jingleman.
Starting point is 00:26:06 Hello. Allow me to, I'm just going to, I would do a little bit of background about the jingleman. And then we're going to go through some jingles. Okay. Okay. So Drew as well as singing these, you know, epic political firestorms that he's well known for a barrage
Starting point is 00:26:28 an M16 of rhymes and verse he also sings fucking dumb little songs around the hotel room in the van whatever we are wherever we are at a really loud volume doesn't matter who's around
Starting point is 00:26:48 you know what these jingles too is I think you know well here's the thing is I don't think what I'm doing that it just happens because there's something seriously wrong with me mentally so that's why they even exist or even come out but what I think is like people in venues especially in like different countries
Starting point is 00:27:05 like they must think I'm fucking insane yeah or like it's some crazy warm up yeah like Melissa Cross like is this some kind of new warm up what is this that's happening yeah that jingle was that for like the vocal chords? Did you just have milk before or after the jingle?
Starting point is 00:27:25 Me, me. So, I feel like I should explain my Netflix original idea after we've seen some jingles. Okay. What do you want? You want the studio special? Because that's, there was a video
Starting point is 00:27:40 and everything for that one. Yeah. I'm not the one with loaded God. I'm not the one. Now the battle's won. Oh. So that was, I'm not the one with a loaded gun, which came out of nowhere in the studio. That's one of the more musical ones. Yes, it is.
Starting point is 00:27:58 And the least offensive ones. It's not offensive at all, which most of them can be. It came from nowhere. No, you know what it came from? It came from writing Only Death is Real and being locked in that upstairs back left room for 12 hours a day. Yeah, I remember you, gee, but we're trying to do serious lyrics and then that pops out. Well, sometimes you've got to take a break. But there was no break between the words or the sentences in this song,
Starting point is 00:28:26 so you'd have thought about it or not. But I figured out the other day by watching you construct a jingle that it's only when you get to the last word of each sentence, then the next sentence has been built. Yeah. Which is where the magic lies in these jingles. It's crazy. So some of them are short.
Starting point is 00:28:46 That's why we call him The Jingle Man, because they're almost like a radio thing, or like at the end of a commercial. So, tickle me. They call me, Tickle me Elmo. I'm coming in hot.
Starting point is 00:28:59 That's the short one. They call me, Tickle me Elmo. I'm coming in hot. Chris from Anti-Fleg. Loves that one. That's one. Maybe if you're coming in a room or something.
Starting point is 00:29:08 Yeah, if you're going to open the door and you want to just like pop in and fly in on your friends. On your first day of tour with anti-flag. Burst into their dressing room and say that. Yeah. Hey, but...
Starting point is 00:29:21 It worked. Hook line and sinker. I want them over. Yeah, now with buds. GV? Well, the GV one is just insanity in itself because it explains my hatred for disgusting food and
Starting point is 00:29:40 being inside closed quarters with other human beings. Let's preface it. The GV song came of. about just before we were about to eat in and out and then do an overnight drive without brushing our tea for washing our face in and out for anyone in the UK is an exceptionally good burger chain. It's great. It's fantastic. But it's V greasy. It's V greasy. It's very greasy. And it's full of way too many calories. More than you should have in one day you can have in one sitting. That's America though. Do you know what I might do?
Starting point is 00:30:21 that's going to be really funny. Go for it. I love funny. Once we're done with this episode, I'm going to cut the jingles. But I'm going to like just put a bit of compression and delay on them. So that every time you've done one on this, it will have a little bit of reverb on it. It's great. Like it's a little plug.
Starting point is 00:30:41 Yeah. And it's really easy to see where they are because the waveform shoots up. Oh, because I'm fucking screaming at the top of my lungs. Yeah. So they're coming. Wait, they call. A lot of them. they call me, which nobody calls me any of these things. Not one person in the world has ever
Starting point is 00:30:57 called me. So they call, wait, fuck, go on. Don't mean to nail this one. This is the other thing. Sometimes Drew can't remember them after they've happened. Yeah, because that's the thing is that they're not like, it's not like a, uh, I write them down or anything. It's like, oh, this is happening. My brain just spits it out. Like, I have to say it. Like, epileptic fear. Exactly. It's just that. GV. GV? GV. Yeah, go. All right. They call me greasy van that's GV for short. I'm a greasy man.
Starting point is 00:31:28 I was shy I was wearing jort. Just one, one, think of a man inside of a pair of jean shorts. Just one leg, like both legs are in one, one jort. He's greasy. He's greasy, could he could slip right in. He could slip right in. In and out. And he's in his van.
Starting point is 00:31:47 They call me greasy van. And that also actually, I can tell you've written that because you fucking hate it with the van. Look at your face. I wish people could see your face. You hate it when the van smells a fast food or is greasy. You look like you're going to murder someone right now. I just like things clean.
Starting point is 00:32:09 I'm OCD. What can I say? I'm OCD. I'm O'Say Day. It sounded like your dad there. He's not the jingle man. He's not the tan man, but he is the tan man. He looks like an old catcher's in it.
Starting point is 00:32:18 Anyway, going on. Oh, fuck. More jingles. More jingles. Okay, so my personal favorite, I've taken the character of like an English punk rock legend. Chris Contamination. Chris Contamination. This came about in Australia, didn't it?
Starting point is 00:32:47 Yeah, this came about in Australia. And the song is, you know, I really, I really think it will resonate with a lot of people. Yeah. Would you like to hear? I would love to hear Chris Contamination. What's the name of the song? Well, the name of the band is the Contaminators. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:08 And I'm Chris Contamination. Chris Contamination. And the song is called Cross Contamination. Cross Contamination. And he goes, Cross Contamination. Cross contamination. What nation are you from the land of Mass?
Starting point is 00:33:18 But they. Oh, wait, no, no, no, no, no. Let me start over. You didn't even say mashed potato. Mesh potato. Cross contamination. Cross contamination. What nation are you from the land of masturbation?
Starting point is 00:33:30 And then when he does that, he also does like an air, tiny air guitar. No, I plant my feet as if I'm Billy Joel from Green Day and just fucking strum down like a true punk rocker. So, yeah. Cross contamination. Give us just a little bit of Chris Contamination's voice. Let's do the next bit of this. just keep talking in Chris's voice. Well, it's just really lovely to be here, mate.
Starting point is 00:33:53 I'm just so happy that I can finally be on the podcast. And, you know, I think three years of touring, of punk, and this culture I've... He turned into a butler, which is another one of Drew's voices, which is the sort of goblin butler, man. Do you mean this one? What can I get you?
Starting point is 00:34:16 Psycho. What can I get you? Super serious lyrics on stage. Talking about fucking really, really serious things. I love Jim Carrey. What can I say? And he's serious and political in his paintings, and the jingles are your paintings.
Starting point is 00:34:33 No, our songs are your paintings, and the jingles are your gym. Yeah. Have we got any more jingles? There's so many jingles. Man, what was I singing today? I did something today. But some of them just get lost in the ether.
Starting point is 00:34:48 Yeah, they do get lost in the ether And it won't be until someone else says Oh, what was this one? And then we have to fucking piece it together. What was all we talking about yesterday? And Dragonette couldn't remember it And then I... No, that was the Tickle Me Elmo one, wasn't it?
Starting point is 00:35:02 No, there was another one. Fuck. Me. Oh, yeah. Just another real short one. Just give me a word and it'll be go, oh, okay, I remember that. I'm a baby in my chair. Oh.
Starting point is 00:35:18 Wait, wait, wait, I'm a baby. No, no, no, I can, I'll do it and you'll get it. I'll do one and then you do another one. I'm a baby in a chair. Tell me where's my milk, milk. Oh, yeah, but you got to get the soul of it. I'm a baby in the chair. Tell me where's my milk milk.
Starting point is 00:35:45 I'm a baby in a chair. Tell me where's my milk milk. And I believe we were backstage in Poland when that happened. Yeah. And he got progressively louder and louder. Also, with anti-flag brings out these jingles in me. There's great jingles. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:03 And then you got classics. Like, you're just being a T-Rex on Instagram. Yeah, I just, you know. I go requests for that quite a lot. Mostly from Mike Deuce. Yeah. Well, he's also an insane person. Make him do the T-Rex thing.
Starting point is 00:36:15 Make him do the T-Rex thing. Eddie Thrower, too. loves that. All the lower this boys. Well, I think the main thing with the jingles is, it's like,
Starting point is 00:36:26 you know. What? There's no main thing. No, there is no main thing. You know what it is? It really comes from, you know,
Starting point is 00:36:36 you just do the same thing over and over each day, especially when you're on tour and it's like, you get to... Stop trying to justify the jingles. You get... You've got them serious.
Starting point is 00:36:45 There's no justification. You get to a certain point where you're just completely out of your mind and you know you're exhausted and that's i don't know it just happens i mean don't stop them i'll never stop them in fact i'll do them for people yeah yeah if you want drew to do your jingle then give me up just hit him up all right you one i don't know a hundred bucks it's too much much much i hope people sing them at you now yeah just come to the merch table and
Starting point is 00:37:19 sing them in my face. No, but you know what's going to be mental now, though? The amount of people that will shout peanut butter on me, at me, when I get on stage, imagine people start singing you, your jingles. It'll be great. Tom will hate it. He hates it if someone says Grussel. I can see it in his eyes.
Starting point is 00:37:38 I don't think he hates it. He just thinks, God damn it. This is crazy. Well, we're insane people, and this is part of it, you know? I kind of love it. I love it, too. If someone in, if someone screams, I'm a baby in a chair, tell me where's my milk milk? Milk, milk.
Starting point is 00:37:56 I'll fucking die. Not just, not just milk, milk, milk. Yeah, double milk. And also, if you're going to do this, make sure you get the soul because I didn't get the soul. Yeah, you got to, it's really got to come from within. And it kind of offends the jingle man if you don't, if you don't, if it's not an accurate cover. You need to use your internal atomics. And that is why the album is called that.
Starting point is 00:38:18 So I had an idea for a Netflix series. Special series, whatever. So basically what happens, I mean, this is tragically a true story. So what happens is when the band splits up, I've been to the future, I've seen what happens. When the band splits up, there's a big rift and we're not really speaking to each other. And no one knows where Drew is. But one day we're like listening. to like watching TV or something and you just hear that that jingle man tone over like a lazy boy advert or something.
Starting point is 00:38:58 Give me a lazy boy jingle right now. Off the cuff. Off the cuff? Yeah, go. If you're sitting in your chair and you want to do something, get down to lazy boy. If you're sitting in a chair and you got nowhere to go, I said get down to lazy boy. There we go. So I'm watching TV.
Starting point is 00:39:18 And I'm like, I know that, that tone, that dulcid jingle man tone. So then I go on a quest to try and find true. It makes sense because that's more like a like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, man, he's really. Yeah, yeah, he's rough. That's rough. Um, and then when I find him, I basically find out that he made a quite an illustrious career from his jingles, unbeknownst to me. And what's actually happened is tragically, he started losing his voice. and he's unable to work doing his jingles.
Starting point is 00:39:53 He is, you know, he's in a rough base. He's in like a fucking swamp in Florida, surrounded him by gaiters. And then I get him back on track. And then at the end of the Netflix special, you realize that the intro music was actually jingle man. And he's basically got a new sound, and it's more of like a Tom Waits, he thinks,
Starting point is 00:40:16 because of his voice. being fucked. You know, like, you know, like the Peeke Blinders theme tune is like, murder bread,
Starting point is 00:40:26 bright hair. So the Jingleman one's more like that. Dingle and Mer. And the Netflix documentary, climaxes. Climaxes? Finishes. Climax and finish?
Starting point is 00:40:40 Yeah. Okay. Where are you going this one? The Netflix, I'm fucking high on sugar from that fucking drink. The Netflix thing. sort of you know we're building up to get into the studio and when we get into the studio
Starting point is 00:40:53 what he actually sings is the theme tune from the whole thing so you've actually heard it by that point and you're like oh there he is there he is and he's back and then he dies and then i die and then i die and there he dies jingle man r o pngleman here i am in the flesh anyways well i've been to the future and i've seen that happening you have how can we make this podcast more professional i mean what else what else could we talk about that's professional. We've actually done a very good advert for the album and for the things. Yeah, just in our own insane way.
Starting point is 00:41:29 You're looking forward to Europe? Fuck yeah, I'm looking forward to Europe. Is it because we're on a bus? I mean, that has a lot to do with it. But, I mean, who doesn't want to be on a bus, you know? So comfy. I just play so much better. Same.
Starting point is 00:41:43 If you live in Europe, you've seen me be good at the drums. And that's because I've slept horizontal. No, I mean, I'm really excited for Europe because, A, the tickets are moving, like, really well. And it's just, Europe is sick, man. It's, it took many years to, you know, grow the support and fan base that we have. And, like, just to see it keep going and to be able to go back all the time and continue to, you know, play our fucking songs to these people that love them. It's great. It's fucking sick, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:42:17 Everyone's so nice. That's nice here as well, but it's like, it's nice to be able to go places where people are so different. And they all just love just rocking. They love it. They absolutely love it. Just love a rock night out. Do you find people get more wasted in Europe? 100%.
Starting point is 00:42:38 It's okay to have, like, a glass of wine or like a pint with, like, your lunch on your workday. You just see it like, you know, in like France or like in the UK too. I mean, I know it's been like noon on like a Wednesday afternoon, Wednesday afternoon, and like there's just a dude in a suit, like, you know, having a burger and a beer, and then he's going back to work. In America, that's like, you just don't do that. That means you have a drinking problem.
Starting point is 00:43:04 Yeah, it's just, but then people will go out and get absolutely. Oh, yeah, don't get me wrong. People here are, you know, absolute lunatics and, you know, whatever. But it's just more part of their culture, I feel like, you know. and uh... Bozy Britain Yeah, but even like Australia too Like Australians can drink
Starting point is 00:43:25 That made the room vibrate Bozy Britain Hey Bozy Britain You over here For some reason My voice is making the room Oh I only if I say boozy
Starting point is 00:43:37 There you go You did it Let me mic up this wall So everyone can hear it Wool Wool Whoa Whoa

Starting point is 00:44:23 already had a burrito today. I want Thai food. Dinner. Dinner. And a movie. What did the chat say? I didn't even look at my phone. Thai. I don't know. I just put it in. My phone is charging.
Starting point is 00:44:36 Live on it. Someone put, or you put it in and no one said anything. Why don't we, why don't, let's talk about this. It's not really serious, but your first, what was it, four years ago when you decided that, oh, hey, yeah, guys, I want to be in band. Yeah. What was that like?
Starting point is 00:44:56 Turning the tables here. It's my podcast. Oh my God. You know, that's a great question. I mean, you had to, there had to been some kind of situation with me and you where you're like, wow. No, because I knew you from architect stores. Yeah, that's true. That's true.
Starting point is 00:45:16 I knew you from being a psycho then. So it was like, and we're both psychos then. Now I'm kind of laid back. No. No. Wait. No, I think we, I obviously wanted to do it, but I was in a position where I was making bank teaching.
Starting point is 00:45:36 And honestly, my friend had just asked me, I was talking about this the other day, my friend had just asked me if I would train to be a barber at his barber shop because he had nobody in the shop that had any banter at all. So he just wanted someone that, yeah, that's sick. Like, I will teach you to be a barber. Yeah. Barber and it's just like you do a fucking 40-minute podcast every day.
Starting point is 00:45:58 Yeah. Different people. But, man, being a barber, man, that's crazy. You're on your feet all day. Like, I, you know, like Dragon X cousin Ray, like, especially you're on the holidays, man, that shit's crazy. You're on your feet all day. It's got to be, it's got to be. It's hard work.
Starting point is 00:46:15 People just think, oh, it's just cutting hair. No way. That shit's hard. You can't download it, though. You can't download it. I don't think you'll ever be able to. you're only going to be out of work in sort of 350 million years
Starting point is 00:46:26 when we've evolved to be bald that's when you're going to be out but anyway so I was at a point when I was like not retirement but retiring from touring so I was talking to Kate about it and she was basically like
Starting point is 00:46:41 you've got to fucking do it you're getting old and you know there'd be your last chance to do it and obviously you like the music and everything so then I think we did that one tour and I was just going to fill in and then we talk about it and they got about four shows in.
Starting point is 00:47:00 You're like, yeah, I'll do it. And then we shotgun red bull before we show now. Thanks. Am I getting your cold? Is this what's that? Am I getting a cold life on me? Blaming on the guy that sat next to me on the flight home from Japan because he should have stayed in Japan.
Starting point is 00:47:15 Do some talking. I'm going to blame my nose. Yeah, so the start. The stars align. Craig join the band's... Hang on. The star's aligned. I'm in the band and now
Starting point is 00:47:32 I'm getting fucking 10 colds a year. Yeah, and now we get 10 colds a year. But, I mean, it's any change in season for me. I'm always getting sick. So regardless of the guy on the plane getting me sick, I would have... It's inevitable that I'm just going to get sick.
Starting point is 00:47:47 I used to be so good. I take vitamins every day. I'm drinking a vitamin water. I'm going to take them live on air. You know, I drink emergency every single day. I try and eat as good as I can, but I just, you know, go to the gym, whatever we could do, but I'm always getting sick. That's just how it is on the road. You just get, you would think that you would become accustomed, but the problem is with the common cold, it mutates so very quickly.
Starting point is 00:48:16 Mm-hmm. And there's no way to stop it. I'm just going to go through my vitamins now. Vitamins. Craig has 10 bags I have Came with one bag Now he's got 10
Starting point is 00:48:28 In my view I have a backpack Which actually splits into two back Oh god I have a violent gentleman Gym bag I have inside that bag I've got a fanny pack
Starting point is 00:48:42 I got a fanny bag too Which is a bum bag From the UK But bum means fanny In America You guys call it a bum bag Yeah I mean
Starting point is 00:48:51 Fanny means minge in the United Kingdom. God, damn it. That's actually an office quote when he's talking about when she's going on holiday and he's like, yeah, because family means your ass over there.
Starting point is 00:49:10 Not your minge. Not your minge. Any Americans listening, minge means vagina. It's quite a horrible word. It's not like a degrading word. It's just like... I don't know.
Starting point is 00:49:27 Yeah, like cock. It's like cock. It's like cock, yeah. Yeah, so I've got that. I got the bag for my switch, and I've got my suitcase, and that's about it. And I've got two jackets with me.
Starting point is 00:49:38 Oh, God, I'm getting fucking stressed out and just talking about how much shit I've got. And then you've got to remember it every day. Oh, remembering things is so annoying. Every single day. Where's my charger? Where's my disc? Where's my...
Starting point is 00:49:49 All I do is think and look around the room. It's so annoying. I'm coming in hot though, you know. Coming in hot. I'm losing shit. In fact, no, because my brain is constantly on, I'm not losing anything. I've already lost one charger. Really?
Starting point is 00:50:05 Yeah. What, the little nub and everything? Yeah, it's because we've been off for so long. I'm like, I'm off. You know? Mojo's out. Yeah, my mojo's out. Like, I feel like an amateur, you know?
Starting point is 00:50:18 Hopefully in a week. What are you using to charge now? I bought another one. Remember when we were in California? and I was like, oh, I got to buy a phone charger because I'm an idiot. He's taking vitamins because I got him sick. And after this podcast, tomorrow he's going to hate me. Right now it's all fun in games, but really tomorrow's going to be the hate.

Starting point is 00:51:59 It was fucking terrible. Yeah, that's another thing about Europe, man, is the coffee, you guys just... Yeah, but Australia beats even us. Oh, yeah. Australia is on a whole other level of breakfast items. It's just... When are we going to Australia, too? Unfuckwithable, Australia.
Starting point is 00:52:17 Let's make this a little plug. When are we going to Australia? January. Unify gathering, and we got some club shows with us in Kubla Khan. It's going to be sick. And the weather is going to be amazing because it's summertime there in January. I'm really going to need that sunshine top up. I just want to play, Unify, have some good club shows,
Starting point is 00:52:37 and jump off as many cliffs as I can because that's one of my favorite things to do in life is to do nature stuff and go swimming. Just realized I haven't taken my vitamin D. Gabe, will you jump off a cliff with me? Absolutely. Hell yeah. Who's going to take the fucking photo? He will. In the air, he'll jump in front and then do like a leg split and then like...
Starting point is 00:53:01 If anyone wants to know what the rustling noise is, it's all my free gear from Violent Gentlemen. That's called a grussel, an actual grussel because they gave me so much cool shit. They gave me some socks, right? I'm not just being a weird guy, but they're like athletic socks. I think I took some of those too. You know, to be fair, though, shout out to Violent gentlemen because they literally let us go to their warehouse. and take whatever we wanted. Hammer, thank you. Ransacked.
Starting point is 00:53:29 Ransacked them. And, yeah, so you'll see some pictures soon with some items where you could swipe up. Oh, now he's grustling. But they gave me these socks, and they're like those athletic socks. Yeah, I took those too. They hug your in-step on your foot. It makes me better at drums. Yeah, it's great.
Starting point is 00:53:51 So the downbeat will be ripping those off. Pretty fucking zool. There you go. I won't rip them off. All you drummers? I will rip them off. Why else we got touring wise? We can promote.
Starting point is 00:54:06 It's not all promotion. There's been fun and games. Well, we're doing... Oh, we can't talk about that. Sick. We could do your top five bands, which I haven't told you that was going to be a thing.
Starting point is 00:54:20 It is going to be a big. Top five favorite bands? Yeah. Okay. Is it weird that? a change you sometimes? Is that like,
Starting point is 00:54:26 is that normal? I've got like a top three which is solid and then there's like a rotating slot. Yeah. Okay. You mean,
Starting point is 00:54:35 just what comes off the top of your head? Glass Shaw is number one always. Never got into them. I know, it's crazy. But when I put them on,
Starting point is 00:54:42 you're like, when I put on the newest album, you're like, who is this? And I was like, oh, it's glass shows and you're like, oh, the drumming's sick.
Starting point is 00:54:49 Yeah, I do like it, but I just, yeah, you know, it's like a legacy band and you didn't like it.
Starting point is 00:54:54 at the time. Yeah. So you feel like it's too late. I was that way with the deaf tones though. Because I didn't really get into the deaf tones until I was a little bit older. You know, I like, I didn't hate them, but I was very, very into like, more like fast punk and stuff when I was, when that was. Cross-contamination. Cross-contamination.
Starting point is 00:55:18 What nation are you from the land of masturbation? So, you know, there's that. All right. No, so, okay, so Glassjaw. Green Day. Just because... What's your favorite Green Day album? Duky.
Starting point is 00:55:35 100% Duky. But I also really, really love Insomnia, especially guitar tone. It's fantastic. What's the order? Kepunk? No. 10,039 smooth-out's lappy hours.
Starting point is 00:55:48 Karpunk. I felt we're Kepunk. Karpunk is so sick. I just bought it on vinyl. Unopened. With a little story in it as well. about the kid that fucking puts his cuts his parents up and puts them down
Starting point is 00:55:59 the fucking... Yeah, it's fucking great. So sick. It's so sick. Okay, so Glass Show Green Day. What's your favorite Green Day song? When I come around. And that's on Nimrod.
Starting point is 00:56:11 No, that's on Doogie. Is it? Yeah. What's the big one on Nimrod? Nimrod would be... There's a big one on there that I always forget this on there. Jamie, let me pull that up. What is the big one on Nimrod?
Starting point is 00:56:24 No, jaded is, that's insomniac. Jaded and like geekstink breath, that's all insomniac. I'm like trying to think of MTV. There's like seeing the videos and the singles. So anyway, it's back to my top while you think and look. Glashaw Green Day. Big L is my favorite rapper of all time, RIP. RIP.
Starting point is 00:56:58 I would go ahead and just say, let's just say, Blink 182 and rage against the machine. What you're a blink album? Dude Ranch. The time of your life, Good Ridance time of your life, is on, Nimrod. The song that was on Seinfeld, the last episode. Yeah. That song is actually at my fifth grade dance. And I actually sang when I come around in the third grade talent show.
Starting point is 00:57:22 That's why I love that. Who did you go to your dance with? I think I went alone. And I think... Oh, what, wop, wop, waw. Sorry, that was very insensitive. you're alone you just jerked off in the corner
Starting point is 00:57:36 no I just think fifth grade that's rough yeah fifth grade I just yeah I just remember you know it's funny is all I remember is having a flower on my jacket
Starting point is 00:57:45 and hearing that song good rid that sounds kind of depressing that's all good nice guys finished last as well Nimrod fuck yeah Nimrod's great that I think Nimrod is
Starting point is 00:57:56 oh no wait what's after Nimrod warning I think that's kind of where I fall off I for sure I used to love Green Day, and I for sure fell off on warning. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:08 Morning's... And it was only because the lead single was the lead stinkle. You know, morning, yeah, and then I'm sure the album rips, but I did not care. There is some bangers,
Starting point is 00:58:23 but it did not hold up. I think, you know, after they lost that, like... Minorities are morning, though. But still,
Starting point is 00:58:31 it's not a great song, is it? No. No offense, Green Day, if you're listening, which you're definitely not. And then I get a fucking email from Trey call. Come on, motherfucker. Which would be sick. It'd be very soon.
Starting point is 00:58:48 Wow, yeah, I didn't get into any of the other stuff. But, you know, American Idiot, they had a political stance, didn't they? Yeah. Where are they now? Owning a Broadway show. Have they done an album? I don't think they did an album. but they're doing like some crazy ass tour.
Starting point is 00:59:06 I think it's them, Fall Out Boy and Weiser. It's a tough time to be a punk band because it's like you kind of have to talk about the establishment, but at the same time, everyone's talking about the establishment and everyone is sick of everyone talking about it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:25 But you have to talk about it. If you're a punk band, you've got to do it. Yeah, but Green Day has always been, you know, a band that has talked about it and kind of said, fuck you to everything, you know? Like, I love the anti-flag.
Starting point is 00:59:37 I still just fucking. Oh, yeah. Because you've got to do it. And we're still fucking doing it. So you shut your fucking mouth. You know, I didn't do the good night song on this new album. Well, we fucking did.
Starting point is 00:59:47 Double down, motherfucker. Read the fucking lyrics. Yeah. What's your favorite blink? Uh, Dude Ranch. Which is crazy because, no,
Starting point is 00:59:57 this is what, no. I love Dude Ranch because it's the album that got me into them. You know, I saved up my own money and was able to go and I bought it on cassette. You know what I mean? So there's a lot of nostalgia there for me.
Starting point is 01:00:13 But Travis Barker is insane. That's the band for me. Yeah. And Enma the State obviously was his first record. Is damn it on dude orange? Yes. I mean, it does bop. It bops.
Starting point is 01:00:30 But, I mean, that record is just all fast beat. You know what I mean? I mean, that's, it's like all fast-beat. Because Scott Raynor, that was, like, all he could do. Did he do anything else? He did all the shit before it. No, but has he done everything since? No, absolutely not.
Starting point is 01:00:46 He fucked himself. But without Travis Parker, Blink 1-82 wouldn't have been his biggest way. There's no way. They couldn't have made Enim of the State with Scott Rayner. No way. Do you listen to punk year-round? Or you like me? where it's a summer thing.
Starting point is 01:01:04 No, I listen to it year-round. But it's my, like, vibe of, like, music and whatever, I think it goes off, like, just how I'm feeling that day. So sometimes I do get the summer punk thing, you know what I mean? But summertime for me is more, like,
Starting point is 01:01:22 not so punk, like, third-eye blind, taking back Sunday, like, that shit. I could just drive with the windows down and the sun's out. Music video shit. Music video stuff. Music vid shit. Like the dog and like the meme, the dog looking out on the train.
Starting point is 01:01:39 Exactly. I'm super seasonal with bands and music. Yeah. Rancid, great punk, great summer album and Outcomer Wolves. Amazing. It's great. That's my go-to. Yep.
Starting point is 01:01:54 And then as I go into the fall, I'm all OPEF, bit of black metal. Winter, 100% black metal. Rare. coming out of winter still a lot of black metal, a lot of blast beats, but more sort of transition to death metal in the spring. And then we got a good amount of death metal until summer and then it's punk. Yeah. And I've been this way since I was 13 years old.
Starting point is 01:02:18 I'm trying to, on like some of these drives that we have coming up, I'm trying to like pre-pick what I want to be listening to, especially on the long-ass ones, because when you can get into like a black hole of like, listening to music especially like putting on like a poison the well record and then like every time i die or like hopes fall like it just kind of brings you back and it just makes the time go by you know you'd be listening to you come before you the other day yeah great album i go to poison the well i think i spoke to the drummer about doing the podcast that would be
Starting point is 01:02:54 sick i never followed it up um it would be sick because he's so sick here drumming on the early albums, which kind of iconic metalcore drumming. Hell yeah, it is. You've got fucking dying wish on this tour.
Starting point is 01:03:11 How long, 15 years later, with a Zill Bell, ging, ging, ging, all over opposite of December. All over that record. If you don't know,
Starting point is 01:03:22 now you know, if you love a Zill Bell. And also, the weird thing that was going on in like early 2000s metal core, where the mix appeared to be
Starting point is 01:03:33 let's track the album great now trigger the kick drum don't mix anything else don't edit anything we're done print it snare drum pop yeah print it and it works it's sloppy but with six I still listen to some of that stuff I'm like this sounds great
Starting point is 01:03:49 it don't it's not like oh my god remember it like music has come so far no this is sick this is how it should sound rough and ready as we just release a very polished album. It's the best sounding straight album. Yeah. Shout out to Will Putney.
Starting point is 01:04:06 Shout out to Will Putney. But also not shout out because he makes me do hard things that I then, he doesn't have to perform them in front of thousands of people. Yeah, he makes me do hard things too. Difficult. Oh, I'll just move this. Okay. Well, that's not how it works in my brain. My brain has said it this way four thousand times. So now I have to re-say it a new time,
Starting point is 01:04:25 four thousand times. And it will never be the same again. Yeah. How hungry are you? on a scale of one to tie tie? Hit the chat I'm not ending the podcast until the chat
Starting point is 01:04:39 confirms food Has anyone even responded to the Okay Let's do this live Why don't you guys Give it a thumbs up if you like it You don't want tie I literally asked you both
Starting point is 01:04:55 In this room I said I said yes He was quiet He was Denmark in this situation let's put different options in the chat where else would you eat drew i would eat um i would go to like this is 90% of touring by the way yeah talking about what we're going to eat but today is cool for me because i get to like eat when i want on tour on show days i can't eat when i want i have once 4 p.m.
Starting point is 01:05:26 comes around i can't eat till after the show because i have this thing in my brain where if i eat before before. I, it fucked me up and then I'll throw up. Okay. So Tom Williams is going to hang here
Starting point is 01:05:39 and he's watching the big ball game. He's watching baseball. Yeah. So, we could go on a tie date. We'd love a tie date. And just Uber there.
Starting point is 01:05:53 Because Uber means called a drink is. Five minute walk. Yeah, it's point five. And it's got four stars and you know. We are doing a podcast right. now. Do you understand that?
Starting point is 01:06:10 People like this. I think I might have, I might be scraping the barrel with this one. That's point five. It's three and a half stars, Drew. No, it's not. It's four and a half. Three and a half here, baby. What are you on Yelp or Google? I'm on Yelp. I don't know if I'm doing three and a half. You don't have time for this Yelp. Me? I'm not doing a three and a half. The Asparagus
Starting point is 01:06:30 wasn't that. Yeah, okay. Let's delve into it. This is, this needs to be said on the podcast, actually, because don't leave a one-star review. if the service was bad. Like, that's not a one star. That's a... If the food was good, that's a three-star. But Yelp has been poisoned
Starting point is 01:06:51 by these one-starers. Poison me Yelp, poison me Yelp. Right. So there's a lot of three stars. 25 bucks for a pad tie. That's a mango? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:08 Ooh, that's steep. It's a money thing. But this isn't podcast material. We should probably end this podcast. You got to cut. There's so much that you have to cut. I'm not going anything. We've done it.
Starting point is 01:07:23 It's the length of a podcast, though. I mean, you should probably end on something decent because this last bit, it's just been about food. Yeah. I mean, what do you want to end on here? I don't know. I'm out of my fucking... Usually I'm sat on my kitchen table.
Starting point is 01:07:38 Well, if you want to make a... mental picture. We're going to go get some dinner, have some cocktails and go see a movie. Oh shit. I forgot. Yeah. I'm going to go watch the lighthouse. But on that note, we're on tour in America right now. Private Room 2.0. Coming to a city near you if you live in America next month. Yeah, we live in, if you live in Europe, we'll be living there. We'll be living there. We're coming there. Everything's on internalatomics.com. Pre-order the fucking album.
