Andy Frasco & Nick Gerlach: Snoop Dogg Sings Our Song & Presidents as Jam Fans

0:00 Have you looked at the white House and POTUS? Instagram? Yes. It's insane. It's. They're making memes. Yeah. They're like, uh, Denver doses or whatever. It's like Denver doses or whatever. Yeah, yeah. It's like the UN's. The white House is turning into a biscuits fan. It's become an idiot. That is so fucking funny. Dude, that is it. The white House. Donald Trump would definitely be a Disco Biscuits fan if he was a jam band fan. Okay, let's think about this. Like, really, Julie? Okay, let me do this. I just thought of this. He went to Penn. He went to the same high school as them. Wharton School of Business. He's really successful. Sneaky, successful. Yeah, like, he doesn't seem like he'd be successful, but he is. Like Brownie and Barber. Barber has his own.

0:41 He's smarter than you think he is. He's a troll. They love to troll, and he has terrible taste in music. I'm just kidding. Oh my God. Is Donald Trump a Disco Biscuits fan? And we're back. Andy Frasco World Serum podcast. Why live in back in my living room? Man on Riverside with no guests. Oh. What a fucking run that was. Yeah. Speaking of, Let It run. Three shows in four weeks with two. Two weeks of writing. Two weeks of writing. Six shows, eight, uh, eight states.

1:24 Eight states, six shows in eight states. That's because I did two. Two writing sessions. Six shows in eight states. Now, that's a crazy that's a crazy fucking tour right there. That is that is some routing dude, that's John Bongiorno. Shout out to Jon Bon Giorno. Just fucking trying to kill me. We are deep. We are fucking. Deep in the 25 festival summer run we're on right now. Yeah, we're we're on like show. We're on festival 12. We're in the dog days of summer. We are in the dog days. Some are such a drag. Kind of. It's weird. It's a lot of work. This is like my bread and butter. This is where I make all my money. So, like, I'm like, fucking moving.

2:05 And I'm trying to make a new record. And I've been asked to write songs for people now, so I'm like, fucking triple dipping. Are you still doing this? My buddy Nick, how are you doing? Good. I haven't talked to you in a while. I feel like. I know. I was leaving you alone. When people are writing, I don't like to bother them. Yeah, I hear that. But I still missed you. Yeah, you can just text me first if you want to talk to me when you're writing. I just don't like to bother people when they're in a creative process. Oh, word. It meets you halfway. I'm not waiting for you to call me. I got to call you or text. I prefer text, actually. I should do that. Yeah, you can shoot me a text whenever. I'm always down to chat. I just when people are being creative, I don't like to interrupt. Yeah, that's something people forget. Like everyone's like. That's why I don't understand the fucking coming. Like coming. You don't understand. Coming I.

2:49 Don't lately I don't, and I'll tell you that. Story later. I'll tell you that story soon. That's the end of the episode. Um, Jesus Christ, it's like mashed potatoes right now, dude. Okay. Anyway, get back to the thing. Slipping. Um, I don't understand when I. They should close the green room before shows. Some people do that. Yeah, but the people who don't, it's silly. It's like you're. You should be focused on the set. Yeah. Like, a lot of bands will be like. They'll give their tour manager the 20 minutes for the show and they'll kick everyone out. But, like, you only need 20 minutes to tune up, like, I would say, like, prepare or whatever. I mean, yeah, but no whatever 20 minutes is. That's it. Everybody has a I need about 15. I need like an hour. Yeah.

3:32 Well I need like, no one talk to me at all. Even my band. Everyone's different though, you know? Yeah. That is true. You do like to really lock in. I don't yeah. I mean, I guess it's better if you don't ever have anyone on the green in the green room before the show. Yeah, I think so. Honestly, like, after the show, even. It's pretty annoying. I've been not liking that either. I'm kidding. Well, I'm becoming a grouch. No, when you're playing bigger venues, it's kind of. Cool to have, like, a band green room and then like, a hangout green room. Yeah, that's what you should start doing. You're probably playing big enough places for that now. Yeah. We are. I mean, I don't know, just personal space, but also. There's a lot of guys named Tanner and Brock. Yeah, it's. Never show up at the at the. Never a bunch of cool chicks that have, like, good stuff to talk about. It's just dudes. Dudes trying to give us cocaine. Yeah. Mhm. Yeah. Trying real hard.

4:16 I've been taking those guys off the guest list. Really? Yeah. What do you mean how does that work? You just tell them. They're like, guys, see? Like, if I see some dudes named, like Brock or Tanner or you just take Z, I'll just like sidebar Bo and be like, hey, take these guys off. Well, what happens when they get there? And they're not on the list anymore? No, they're they're on the show, but they're not getting AA. Oh, but they're getting the show for free. Yeah. Oh, yeah. That's cool. But like, you're not getting AA. They're on the list, but they're not in the cool, cool list. That's like my biggest lately that's been my biggest pet peeve is like, right when I get off stage, dude, there's fucking four dudes right away. Like, just like, ready to, like, give us a bag.

4:57 Yeah, it's right away to right away. It's like you guys can just do it. You don't have to do it. Like, look, can you just like, like, hide it? You can do it by yourself. We don't have to share. You can just be back here. You know what I mean? Are they just. Or like. Like before, like, uh, before we're even off stage? Because I get off stage first. Yeah, right. They're already in there doing blow. Of course they've been back there for. They've been back there for two hours. They even watched the show. They didn't watch the show. Yeah. They don't even know what your band's called. It's fucking. Insane. Dude. They think you're in Snoop Dogg's band. Oh, speaking of that, shout out to Zac Brown and Snoop Dogg for releasing Chris Gelbuda and his song. Hell yeah. It's fucking surreal, dude. It's a fresco song, so it's always a very vague term. They're hard to remember.

5:43 Song titles are hard to remember. They're never like, oh yeah, they're not very specific the hard way. Um, but it's crazy. It felt real. It felt real when they played it live yesterday and Snoop Dogg's in in the room, you know. Oh, you were there with Snoop Dogg? No, but Gelbuda was. I wanted to fly out, but I had to do all these podcasts. You got to meet Snoop. That's how dedicated I am to the podcast. Hell, yeah. Nick, just wanted to let you know that. Okay. Dedicated to your job that's named after you. I don't want to meet Snoop Dogg. They say never meet your heroes. I met him once. We opened for him ten years ago.

6:25 Yeah. And, uh. He's so famous. Yeah, he, uh. He's, like, one of the most famous people on Earth. Actually, it was the coolest thing he was with. Corrupt. Corrupt hangs out with him all the time. I love corrupt, actually. And he's. He's the one that raps real fast and high, right? Yeah, yeah. He's got one of these. He's got, uh, Snoop Dogg has this woman who just, like, curates all the weed. So everyone's always, like, backstage trying to, like, have Snoop Dogg promote their weed. Yeah. Of course. So she's the one like, hey, this guy's from this place and this guy's from this place, blah, blah, blah. So he's just always hustling. Dude, this guy is such from what happened in the past. Allegedly. Well, I mean, he's innocent. He got found innocent in a court of law. So what he is now is amazing.

7:06 Murder was the case that they gave him from being. Being not guilty. Allegedly. No. He's not guilty in a court of law. Allegedly. He's not allegedly not guilty. He got found not guilty. Okay. He's good. He didn't do it. Okay, so that's that's what I'm trying to. Allegedly. Allegedly. What is allegedly, allegedly is like before they get found or anything. You can't say he's guilty of something if they haven't had their trial yet. So yeah. So he was not guilty. He was allegedly killed someone, but then they got found not guilty. So like getting through that trauma. Yeah. Fucking 17 that happened. Yeah. And then writing bangers all the time and then keeping his name relevant through his 50s until he met up. Yet he's like 60. No way.

7:48 I don't think he is because I think he's like 52. I gotta Google. That. He got famous so young, dude. No, I think he's 60. I think he's. I'm gonna guess he's 53. He's 53 years old. Trivia. What the fuck? Because he blew up in, like. Nick Nicholas. Fucking girl. Because I remember when he blew up and it was like 93, and he was like, or 92, and he was like 19 then. Damn. He's six years older than Sean. That's not that old dude. Know how long he's in? Like, he's like, it's pretty crazy, actually. He was. He became the mayor of America. He was almost a child star like he was that young. He was just on the cusp of that, but he was just a little too old.

8:29 It's just surreal that Snoop Dogg is singing our song. My Song with Gelbuda. It's surreal how young he is and how much more time he has left to be famous. I know I thought he was so much older he. Could be president. But think about it like he did cookbooks with fucking Martha Stewart. So going back to the show. So we opened for him. It was us, Slightly Stoopid and Snoop Dogg in the Coachella grounds. It was like some wine festival. And I was so nervous. I was like, wait, I waited in line after like the. It was so la. You guys weren't that good yet? Probably. No. Yeah, we were horrible. Yeah, we were just like a fun show. You were what you were. Yeah. But we, um. I waited in line. All the weed people, once, all they gone. He was about to leave. I'm like, Snoop, we open for you.

9:11 Can we just take a picture with you? He's like, where's the whole band at? Yeah, he's nice like that. Yeah. And the band, we. I basically whistled at them and literally 11 people get out of this van. They're like, how many motherfuckers. Are in this band? Then he said to me, he's like, you N-words ain't making no motherfucking money. I was like, that's the coolest shit ever. There's no fucking higher honor on Earth than a black person calling you the N-word. Oh my God. And then full circle, um, this honky is, uh, riding Snoop Dogg, a country song, so it's. Yeah, exactly. It's a Zac Brown song. Full Circle. Have you met Zac Brown? I have, at Marcus King's wedding. He's a cool dude, actually.

9:54 Marcus King sat me down with, um. I sat next to Chris Robinson at the wedding, and then. Oh, yeah, he was a trip talking to me about everything. He's a bad reputation, but. But he put all the jam people in a table like lettuce us. And we were deep in the back, you know? Then it was like Zac Brown, Jamey Johnson, all these fucking country guys. You're at the sea market table. I was in the sea market, but I was surprised they put Chris Robinson in that area. Yeah. And, uh. He's kind of jam band adjacent. Yeah, he. And he knows. I think, uh, Marcus and Bradley were like, yo, this guy eats shit ton of mushrooms. Frasco eats a shit ton of mushrooms. Does. Chris Robinson does. Oh, my God, we are eating mushrooms and talking about the universe.

10:34 He's he's he was. I thought he was gonna be a dick. I think he gets a bad rap. That's what I was gonna say. My girlfriend worked for him last year and said he was like, super nice to everybody. The coolest. But like, he he. It's the same thing with the Oasis. Shit. He joined a band with his brother, and they fucking used to beat the shit out of each other. I do think Oasis is actually two dickheads, though. I don't think Chris Robinson. I think he just like, doesn't get along with his brother. Also, Chris Robinson's very like honest. And I've been obsessed with these Oasis interviews, have you? Yeah, they're kind of these. Dude, what was I saying about Chris Robinson? Oh, yeah. He's like is very blunt. One thing people don't like is like, he's kind of blunt in interviews and he'll say what's on his mind, but it's like, that's I kind of like that. It's like kind of nice to have a guy that's like not just a pussy about everything, you know what I mean?

11:20 Dude, I fucking I'm obsessed with Oasis right now. Because everything's so fake now and weird when people like, musicians do interviews. It's all just so, like, fake. Here's my Oasis question for you. Do you think Oasis would be famous this famous if they didn't quit? Um. Oh no. I don't either. I think that they're like, kind of like, it's kind of like Jimi Hendrix. Like if Jimi Hendrix. Yeah, I don't like Oasis that much, but. I'm obsessed with this guy. With that? Is that Liam or Noel? That's Liam. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, he's the real dick. He's the real dick. I think he's the reason they don't get along. He said at the cold. The cold play things wild too. We gotta talk about that. But we will. But it's kind of interesting how like. Like Oasis. Like maybe I'm quitting is like, was really good for them. Yeah.

12:02 We're not getting along. It's like, the best thing for their career. Oh, they. Have two songs. Yeah, they have. Wonderwall. And, um. Against. That's one. No champagne supernova. Champagne. And then, uh, look back in anger. Oh, yeah. Maybe they have four songs. They have fucking three. Amazing. I mean, they're huge. They are. Those songs are incredible. They're incredible songs, I know, but they're just so. I don't know. You just don't like the British. Yeah. I mean, my mom's from there, but. Yeah, you're Scottish. I'm half Scottish, half British, half French, half German. No, be really fucked up. If they the first show back they played on 4th of July. They already played. But the first show back they played 4th of July in America. They're the Gen-X Beatles, I guess, or something. They didn't. They said something about they hate the Beatles. They said they don't write real songs. That's the stupidest fucking thing I've ever heard in my life. I think they just say shit just to piss people off, which I. I mean, Trump's doing it.

12:57 I do it all the time. It's like half my day. But, uh. I got tickets. I'm going. Uh oh, you are. I'm going to New York. MetLife. MetLife. What's playing MetLife? Is that. Where. The. Giants. And Jets play? Oh, yeah. They always change the name The Meadowlands. Yeah. Flying in on September 1st. So if anyone's in town, come on, let's hang out. Let's go listen to some oasis. December 1st at the Meadowlands. But, um, I think it's that brother thing, man, when you're in a band with your brother. Man. Are there any examples of going really well? Oh, the Bee Gees. Yeah, that was a good doc. That was a good brother band. What's an what's a. What's another Hanson. Yeah, they're still doing it. Yeah, they're pretty cool. They did the podcast. Yeah. They're cool.

13:38 You see the the footage from the Backstreet Boys live at the sphere? It looks awesome. It looks fucking awesome. In sync. Rolling in their graves. Watching that. So much cooler than NSYNC Backstreet Boys. So shout out to, um, shout out to, uh, Snoop Dogg and Zac Brown. Okay, um, but I want to call. I do want to call Gelbuda because he was in the room in there and he has some hold on he's gonna hate. That's my take. Oasis will be playing casinos right now. If they didn't break up in 1996. A lot of people would. Be. Yeah. They're that. Big. I'm not blaming Oasis. I'm just saying. What about Bob Marley? Oh, man, that's an interesting one. I don't know, he was so culturally impactful. I know. He might. Okay, Chris, you're on the podcast.

14:22 Really? Yeah, yeah. Chris got my songwriting partner who was the main contributor to Let It Run with us. Hey, Chris, welcome to the show. Right now you're in. The podcast. With Nick. Just quickly. Hi, Chris. Sorry, I'm in a hotel room in Hollywood with my girl and my baby crying in the background. It's okay. Just talk. Just talk about the first thing about Snoop Doggs. The Snoop Dogg thing. Just give us a little brief. What happened over there? Uh, well, we were at a Zach is in LA doing, um, promo for his run at the sphere. Um, and so we decided to do a little, um, pop up show at a place called the desert Five Spot Hotel. And they, I guess they made, like, a social media post and gave out a couple hundred tickets to, like, influencers and all that, and, um, and then Snoop Dogg came out and sang Let It Run With Us, and we shot like a music video.

15:14 What do you say about the song? Do you like it? He loves it. It's fucking awesome. This is crazy. Isn't this crazy? Are you in shock that this happened to us? I mean, it feels kind of like simulation theory a little bit. It does, dude, because I remember, like, you know, it's like we're walking into this thing, and then reality feels it then. Did it feel like, oh, shit, it's real now when you saw him in the room with you playing? Well, it's actually funny because I wasn't, I was I was side stage when, um, I saw Snoop come walking up and he kind of gave me this nod and he had like, the five inch blunt in his hand. And I was like, hell yes! So I just took my shot and I walked up to him and I'm like, can I hit that? And he's like, sure, man.

15:59 He seems really down to earth. Rip off that. And then, uh. Did you tell him you wrote the song? Yeah. Later on, we were, like, hanging in the stairwell waiting for him to clean out the thing. And Zack told him he's like, this is my boy Buddha. He wrote the song with his friends and all that. And Snoop was like, yeah, I love that shit, man. I love that motherfucker. Uh, I'm so proud of us. Super nice guy. He's actually exactly the way he portrays him. He has an incredibly high approval rating. I didn't we looked up his age. He's only 53, dude. Yeah, dude, he's a young guy, I guess. Isn't it crazy? What? You know, after the sphere, you said, hey, we should write this song in Vegas with Widowmaker. And we're like, oh, I'm so hungover.

16:43 You came over and we fucking did it. If we didn't do that, look at us now. What's even weirder is that I had to get online this morning and write music for a porno film over zoom. So it's like, what? Are you serious? How do I get a guy? It's like work for hire. Shit I was doing because the money was too good. So I went from Snoop Dogg and a penthouse bar in Hollywood to writing porno instrumentals in my hotel room. How the fuck. Do I get a job writing porno? Uh, the life of Chris Gelbuda. I'm living many lives. When are you going to Carpinteria? Going there now. All right. Go have fun. Let me talk to Amber for a second. Let me talk to Amber. No. Amber took the baby out of the hotel room so I could talk to you. Okay, then give me two more minutes of your time. Um, what's Zac Brown's feeling about this song? He loves the song.

17:28 I think some of his fans are a little polarized because it has so many F-bombs, and. I know. Weed references and people are in the comments like so. That's why our country and weed intertwined. And I'm like, have you ever heard country music? Go check out Willie Nelson, you fucking morons. Anyway. Exactly. Um, well, you're in Zac Brown's band now, so enjoy all that. I'm not in the band. I'm just. Just helping out here and there. That's all it is. Well, I'm so proud of you. And I know you don't like to take compliments, but we're all really proud of you. And thanks for believing in me and giving me a shot to be in the room with those guys, so thank you. Hey, thanks for buying me those pina coladas at the Caesars in Vegas. And thanks for the invite, motherfucker. Why couldn't I go? I think that's the only productive thing that's ever happened in the history of Las Vegas. Is that song.

18:13 We still need to celebrate with Widowmaker in Vegas. Save me a day. But I don't want to go to Vegas. I'd rather go to, like, Boulder or somewhere where we can be not degenerates. I'm not bringing Widowmaker to Boulder. Um, it's not happening. That might that might go. That might go poorly. All right, buddy, enjoy your time off I love you. I'm so proud of you. This is fucking awesome. God bless. See you. Nick. Hey, you can't say that you're white. Goodbye. Bye bye. They can't even say it. Chris Colby is the best. Yeah, I've known him. I've written so many songs with him. One good one. And we got one good one out of it. That's all it takes. I thought try not to die. I was gonna blow up. Me too. Didn't work. Why not? I mean, it didn't blow up. Blow up? Also, the label didn't want to take that one to radio. They should have took that to radio.

18:57 I agree. Yeah, that was the one I thought was the one. They put crazy things as the radio. I'm like. Which one's the crazy. Thing? This is what I love about these radio people. Yeah. They don't know what the fuck they're doing. To be honest. I kind of. They. Don't know. 110% agree with you on that. And they're like trying to keep their jobs alive. So they're like, they're doing all these little $5,000 campaigns with all everyone. They don't know what the fuck they're doing. They don't they're not tastemakers. No, they're they used to be. They used to be. Not anymore. And they're just. Trying to survive off their fucking $5,000 campaigns. Yeah. In the 70s, it was like cool guys who, like, knew a lot about music and they would go and tell everybody what music to listen to. And now it's just like nerds that just, you know, have a communications degree from UC Denver. It's crazy.

19:43 Yeah, I don't know. I don't like it. No, it's also radio is kind of worthless now anyway, isn't it? I mean, that's where you make all the money still. Man, if this. Terrestrial. Radio. So like, they're, they're giving me the lowdown on the money. But people don't listen to the radio anymore, though. Or do they? More than I think they do. Um, it's still a big thing in country and. Oh, country. Yeah. That's like, because they still sell CDs even. Yeah, because I got a little piece of pie and I got 20% of this tune. That's what I'm saying. But I didn't think that people really flipped on 97.3 FM anymore. When's the last time you did that in your car? If it hits the Sirius XM? Oh, that's good spin. They give you like a really good rate per spin too, don't they? 15 bucks a play. A play.

20:23 Off of the smaller channels. If you get on the big channel. Like the Rock channel or. Whatever, it's 60 bucks a play. Jesus Christ. How do they afford that subscription? I know, but that's still like. They have 200 million subscribers. Damn, that's pretty sick. But that's not terrestrial radio. I'm talking about like, FM radio. There's still money in there, weirdly. I don't. Know, but. You can see why I think there wouldn't be, right? 100%. It's like, who's the last? But I guess country's a little different. They're like ten years behind. Someone was telling me every 20 million, every 20 million Spotify streams is $100,000. Yeah. That makes sense. Yeah. It's like five. Yeah. For every million, you get like 5000 bucks then. Mhm. 20 times five.

21:06 Yeah. Yeah. Still shitty 20 million. You're only getting 100,000 bucks. Daniel's a monster. Fuck that guy. Dude, what's the guy from Spotify on Spotify. What's the deal with him? He's a Swedish billionaire that's like. He knows nothing. He's just a tech guy running. His. Shit. Now he's investing in, like, huge ass, like, uh, military industrial companies, right? He's like investing in, like, an AI defense. It's like, fuck off, dude. You have $10 billion. Like Gardenista might have. Great story about this. I went on a date. She kind of was looking at me funny because I was kept on asking for Jameson on the rocks at this really fancy restaurant. So I saw Gardenista. These guys are my sponsors. I thought it'd be cool to, like, say, hey, I'll grab Gardenista on ice.

21:47 And I did, and she liked me more. So do you want to be a dirtbag? Fucking drink, Jameson. But if you want to be sophisticated, go to gardenista. Drink some on ice and tell em Frasco sent you. What's the deal. With this Epstein stuff? It seems like, uh, everybody is guilty, and they're all colluding to not have the list come out. I know this is scary. Tim Dillon just did a, uh, emergency podcast. Did you? Well, I listened on Saturday. I didn't listen to. I listened to Saturday. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I got a dinner. I went out with a dinner.

22:27 I'm not telling you who. Small guy. I'm like small guy, RFK junior. No, he's not small. He's jacked. Remember? Then at the end he said, Indian food. Indian food. That that. Guy Patel. Uh, no. Raj Ramaswamy, Vivek Ramaswamy. Yeah. God, that. I could do. That. I hate all those people. Shit's wild. Just reminds me of, like, all the nerds. Have you. Have you looked at the white House and POTUS? Instagram? Yes. It's insane. It's. They're making memes. Yeah. They're like, uh, they're like, uh, Denver doses or whatever. It's like Denver doses or whatever. Yeah. Yeah. It's like. The UN's.

23:09 The white House is turning into fucking a biscuits fan. It's become an idiot. That is so fucking funny. Dude, that is it. The white House, the white. That's the breakout. The Donald Trump would definitely be a Disco Biscuits fan if he was a jam band fan. Okay, let's think about this. Like, really? Julie? Ready? Okay, let me do this. I just thought of this. He went to Penn. Okay. Okay. He went to the same high school as them. Wharton school of business. He. He's really successful. Sneaky, successful. You know, like, he doesn't seem like he'd be successful, but he is. Like. Brownie and Barber. Barber has his own. He's smarter than you think he is. He's a troll. They love to troll. Wow.

23:51 And he has terrible taste in music. I'm just kidding. His wife's too. Hot for him. Hey, Barber. His wife is a babe. Donald Trump, is she? I don't think. His wife is so beautiful. Really? Mhm. Oh my God. Is Donald Trump a Disco Biscuits fan? Yeah. What would Obama be? What what what jam band would Obama like? Aggie. No. He's black. Yeah, true. He's got way too much sauce. Maybe, uh, Derek Trucks, I think. Saliva. Oh, Derek trucks a good one. Or Tedeschi trucks. Tedeschi trucks band. He needs a little more than Derek. Yeah, I like that. That's a good one. Okay. What about Reagan? Reagan is, uh, Grateful Dead. He's a he's an old Republican.

24:35 What about. Bill Clinton? Bill panic. That's actually. Fucking great. And then what about Biden? Biden for sure. Goose. Oh, yeah, he does have. He's like Delaware, Connecticut. Kind of like a regular guy. Like, uh. You know. Who's the fish? One. Turtlenecks. Fish. Um. Bernie Sanders. Bernie would love. Vermont. Yeah, duh. That's too easy. He was never president, though. What about older presidents? What about, like, Andrew Jackson? Um, he was like a piece of shit, so I guess, um. Don't say. Don't fucking say it. Who can I piss off this week?

25:17 Spafford. Gerald. Ford. Jeff. He was a Spafford fan. He. Spafford. Gerald Ford is definitely. Um. I was just gonna say he's the pigeons playing ping pong. Gerald Ford. He's kind of falling down all the time and sort of. What do you think prison would like? Frasca, man? Um, let's see, that's a good Clinton. Maybe a lot of sax. Sax. Sax solos. Let's see. You're kind of really performative and you like to run around and get attention. Reagan. No. Well, he was an actor. You think Trump would like us? No, he would hate us. Maybe Trump likes really dumb music, though. His favorite song. Is. His favorite song is like YMCA by the Village People.

25:58 That's what he plays at his. When he does this dance. He's bleeding. Out here. We gotta find the fresco fam. Politician. Maybe not president. Maybe we gotta branch out. Yeah.

But the thing about the president is they're gonna. You're gonna like, there's no good president. The best presidents, like, kills a lot of people. Who's the best president of all time? I don't know. Lincoln. Probably. I mean, he helped. I like FDR. FDR was good. He got us out of that. He kicked ass. And he was. Um, probably one of the George Washington early ones. Jefferson maybe were really good. They had a. Good which which, uh, or JFK. He was good, but he don't. He wasn't president long enough to really tell, you know, because he got murdered. He loved pussy. But like, when guys. Oh, yeah.

He won't even answer anymore.

36:56 He's probably raising a child or fucking. He is raising a nine person band with. We don't. I haven't talked to him in months. You're playing this festival? I know I put him on the Little Stranger Frasco fest too. When's that? October. I think we're announcing that pretty soon. You got to get that out there. Oh, see, he don't answer my phone anymore. He's so normal. He's a sweet boy. Yeah, we just talked to him the other day. He's playing in Asheville the day after I am. Is he gonna come a day early? No. They're playing Floydfest or something. I was trying to get him to come sit in. That sucks. I was gonna do a video tomorrow inviting widespread pain to come sit in, but they have to pay cover.

37:38 I'm like. I'll tell Dave. Set some ground rules. It's gonna be a fun night. Actually, it's gonna be good. Um. But, yeah, that's my August dates. Come on out and support the band. Uh, I can't thank y'all enough. Everyone's just been. We've just been packing out these fucking festivals, and you guys are just showing up singing every song. It's just, I. I think we changed a new leaf on this whole new leaf. Yeah. Wouldn't the band get good? I think the band got good last year. Oh, last year even. Okay. I think we got good last year. I thought it was like 2021. You think so? No, because we're still only bringing a couple hundred people. No, I mean like, good at music. Like when you were, like, became like, good at. I feel last year. Performing.

38:21 Together. Yeah. Like song wise. I mean, we could always put on a show and just. Yeah, but that's not a lot of good shitty bands can put on a good show. I'm talking about when you became good at executing. I think this year or last year. Okay. We were being even harder on yourself than I am. You think. You think four years ago. Maybe. But I don't know. I also didn't I hadn't seen you in a while, so I was like, it was definitely way better than it was, like ten years ago, right? I think I'm writing better songs. That helps. Yeah. Crazy. How's the band doing? We're actually pretty good. We're in good spirits. Everybody's getting along. Everybody's. We stayed at Floyd's house for a week. The house is nice. What the fuck? I'm, like, mad at him. He's got money, dude. He's got those, like, remote control airplanes. Isn't that crazy? That video blew up. Got, like, 100.

39:05 That's like a trend right now. Yeah, yeah, you gotta do trends. Um. Yeah. Isn't that crazy? Now I know why he doesn't want to play like an Ohio and shit. Yeah, no, I wouldn't either. Am I fucking beach house with an in-ground pool? Isn't that crazy? Yeah, and in Nantucket full time. I don't really get it. Doesn't he have two houses? Um, yeah. He has. He rents out one, too. Mm. He's got family money. I don't know him that well. I don't know, probably he. We should call. Him. Call him and ask him how he's rich. Yeah. Yeah, that's actually a good point, I don't know. So who'd you have on base, though? You had Richie? I had Floyd through Nantucket, and Richie just did this last weekend. Richie? Yeah. He doesn't answer my calls. Right.

39:49 Busy raising a child and mowing the lawn? No, he he he's been doing this rock camp. He's like the counselor. That was cool. He's awesome. Dude, that was so fun. Oh, yeah. You went and did it right. No one answered my calls anymore. About you today, man. No one. I think they're pissed because the Zac Brown thing is popping. I messaged Ben Mincey on Instagram yesterday to because I know he loves panic. Oh yeah. And I was like, come hang out at my after party. He's not going to be in Nashville. What's the panic fans like? Um drunk southerners. They're actually pretty darn cool. Down to earth. I love Jimmy Herring. I think he's. A I think they're the coolest fan base at all of them. Really. I think.

40:30 Like chill wise. Chill. Wise, you. Know who else are nice fans? Really nice fans. Goose fans. They are. They're fucking nice. Yeah. They're not like a ton to them, but they're nice. Yeah, I went to the show. Shut the fuck. I'm not trying to be mean. They're just like normal people. Yeah, yeah, I went to the show. It was just like a very, you know, normal. Just like guys with jobs, you know, like and like wives and, like. I think they're also like. It's not an insult. It's a compliment. A lot of these Phish fans are just like, make fun of gooses fans so bad, I'm like, shut up. Yeah, just fucking. Shut the fuck up. But it's like, this isn't fucking college sports. You could have more than one fan base. You know, and like, you don't really see panic fans going out of their way to do that. I think probably because they just still have dial up internet and they can't do it.

41:21 Why is every panic, every dude panic fan has like the bangs and then the hat. The SEC haircut. The sec. Hey, Jack, pull up the sec haircut. Yeah, the Brock bowling. You know Brock bowling. Do you know. Do you know what I'm talking about? Jack, do you know him? Brock. Bowling? No. He used to be in Zeugma. He has, like, the. He has the SEC haircut. Wow, what a show. Um, we've we've been up for an hour. Jesus flew by. Graham Lush going to show up. You think? Um, yes. He's very proper. And we have an hour to get that set up. Um, any, um, any thing for the people to make sure they have a great week.
