1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,040
Yeah.
Just like freak someone out in a ten.

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:08,720
Or like a spun out and look just
like, dude a million times, dude.

3
00:00:09,040 --> 00:00:11,600
And every happens every day.
And I love it.

4
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:15,200
I love it feels so good. You know it.
Sometimes it feels good to scare

5
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:17,120
people.
You know, you're a big person.

6
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:20,720
It's just like, oh, you know,
like. And they're like, Holy crap.

7
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,360
Well, when I started out, um,
you know, I didn't have the glasses.

8
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:25,200
This is why I wear the glasses,
that bandana.

9
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:30,360
Because I was much scarier back then.
And I would make, I mean,

10
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,680
literally make babies cry.
Um, I'd be going through these

11
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,200
towns and, you know,
old ladies that look at me like

12
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,480
I'm like the devil, you know,
like, oh, you know what I mean?

13
00:00:39,480 --> 00:00:42,160
It was like, yeah,
that didn't feel very good.

14
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,120
Or even so, you've always felt
you're misunderstood. Yeah.

15
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:46,640
For a long time,
you've been friendly your whole life.

16
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:48,840
You never killed someone by accident.
That's right, that's right.

17
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:50,720
Really? Never by accident.

18
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,200
All right. And we're live.
Andy Frasca, world save podcast.

19
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:04,230
I'm Andy Frasca. Sorry. I'm.
I'm doing this opening solo rogue

20
00:01:04,230 --> 00:01:08,630
here. Um, how are we doing, everyone?
How's your minds? How's your heads?

21
00:01:08,670 --> 00:01:12,110
Are you staying out of trouble?
Are you not letting the demons?

22
00:01:12,110 --> 00:01:15,190
That is called anxiety.
Just try to guess, because sometimes

23
00:01:15,190 --> 00:01:19,950
it's gonna. Yeah, and if. If. Yeah.
We gotta take a deep breath and say,

24
00:01:20,230 --> 00:01:23,310
not today, devil.
I'm out here trying to live my best

25
00:01:23,310 --> 00:01:27,310
life. Um. I'm in King of Prussia.
Philadelphia.

26
00:01:27,310 --> 00:01:30,750
Didn't even know this town existed.
But I guess it's close to Philly.

27
00:01:30,750 --> 00:01:34,430
So you can say I'm in Philadelphia
right now, and it's been a wild tour.

28
00:01:34,470 --> 00:01:38,710
Um, pretty fucking crazy.
Events have happened last week.

29
00:01:38,750 --> 00:01:42,550
Sean blew out his ACL or blew out
his knee. Sean had to fly home.

30
00:01:42,550 --> 00:01:44,830
He's getting surgery.
So Andrew Cooney shout out to

31
00:01:44,870 --> 00:01:50,270
Andrew Cooney for fucking my man.
Filling in filling in.

32
00:01:50,270 --> 00:01:53,910
And uh so it's been fun.
I have like a completely new

33
00:01:53,910 --> 00:01:57,990
band because then Floyd had to
take his kid to middle school,

34
00:01:57,990 --> 00:02:00,630
so he had to fly out.
So I have like a completely

35
00:02:00,950 --> 00:02:04,910
brand new band and it's kind of
kind of I'm kind of enjoying it.

36
00:02:04,910 --> 00:02:09,190
It's kind of it's fucking fun to
like, kind of get my hands went

37
00:02:09,190 --> 00:02:12,150

Um, so shout out to Richie for

And, um, yeah, shout out to Sam

40
00:02:18,350 --> 00:02:21,910
for just, uh, killing it.
But, um, yeah, it's been tough.

41
00:02:21,950 --> 00:02:26,830
Uh, but we're pulling through.
We got 12 more shows in 13 days.

42
00:02:27,110 --> 00:02:29,790
We're at the final stretch of
this Growing Pains tour.

43
00:02:30,710 --> 00:02:34,430
Then, um, then I'm gonna go fucking
hide somewhere I might go to, like,

44
00:02:34,510 --> 00:02:37,470
oh, I am, I'm going to Charleston.
I'm gonna go for five.

45
00:02:37,630 --> 00:02:39,670
I can't really hide in Charleston,
but I'm gonna go see my boys.

46
00:02:39,670 --> 00:02:44,070
Little stranger, we just announced
Holy Smokes music festival, y'all.

47
00:02:44,070 --> 00:02:47,150
That's gonna be fucking fun.
Holy smokes.

48
00:02:47,150 --> 00:02:51,230
Uh, me and little stranger are
gonna be throwing a festival at

49
00:02:51,270 --> 00:02:56,070
Nelson's Ledges. Our first festival.
September 26th, 27th, 28th.

50
00:02:56,070 --> 00:02:58,340
I think that weekend.
Whenever that weekend is.

51
00:02:58,700 --> 00:03:03,340
Um, but we got on the line a big
something. We got cashed out.

52
00:03:03,380 --> 00:03:05,140
I haven't heard those guys.
I heard they're cool.

53
00:03:05,140 --> 00:03:08,500
And then we got a bunch of
rappers and John Shields from

54
00:03:08,500 --> 00:03:11,060
Little Strangers,
old band long Miles playing.

55
00:03:11,140 --> 00:03:14,980
We got jar, we got Skippy,
we got the whole gang.

56
00:03:15,380 --> 00:03:18,740
Um, so come on out to Holy Smokes,
our first ever festival.

57
00:03:18,740 --> 00:03:21,260
It's gonna be a lot of fun.
Um, we're playing two nights,

58
00:03:21,260 --> 00:03:24,740
strangers playing two nights,
and then we got some headliners.

59
00:03:24,900 --> 00:03:28,220
We're keeping it, and then we're
going to play some dodgeball.

60
00:03:28,220 --> 00:03:31,620
We're going to do some interviews.
It's going to be totally a very

61
00:03:31,620 --> 00:03:35,860
stranger. Fiasco festival.
So, um, if you have nothing to do,

62
00:03:35,900 --> 00:03:38,340
come on out to that. Yes.
It's happening.

63
00:03:38,340 --> 00:03:41,700
It's been is it happening?
Is it not happening? Yes.

64
00:03:41,700 --> 00:03:44,940
And we are promoting a music
festival a month and a half

65
00:03:44,940 --> 00:03:47,980
before it comes out.
But hey, fuck it, let's YOLO,

66
00:03:47,980 --> 00:03:50,820
baby. Let's get it going.
Um, I believe in our fans and I

67
00:03:50,820 --> 00:03:52,980
believe in Little Strangers fans.
And I think we're going to sell

68
00:03:52,980 --> 00:03:56,420
this baby out.
Um, but the tour's been going good.

69
00:03:56,490 --> 00:04:01,370
Um, every show has been sold out,
mostly, and I just you guys are

70
00:04:01,370 --> 00:04:04,650
coming out and you're supporting and
you're buying merch, and you're just

71
00:04:04,690 --> 00:04:08,530
telling us your stories of how this
new record means so much to you guys.

72
00:04:08,570 --> 00:04:11,490
And I can't thank you enough
from the bottom of my heart.

73
00:04:11,490 --> 00:04:14,090
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Because like I said,

74
00:04:14,090 --> 00:04:17,370
we're in this together and you
know how hard this band's work.

75
00:04:17,370 --> 00:04:21,370
And you guys being there and being
there early and showing us your love,

76
00:04:21,410 --> 00:04:25,850
it's it's gonna make me cry.
So I love you guys so much.

77
00:04:25,850 --> 00:04:29,330
And thank you so much for just
doing it and believing in us.

78
00:04:29,450 --> 00:04:31,930
Um, but. Yeah.
And then, but, uh,

79
00:04:31,930 --> 00:04:35,650
this episode is really a fun one.
I have, uh, Sasquatch on the show.

80
00:04:35,690 --> 00:04:40,690
Yes, a real life Sasquatch is on
the show. I guarantee you guys.

81
00:04:40,690 --> 00:04:43,810
Really for real?
You have to, uh, you should watch

82
00:04:43,810 --> 00:04:50,330
this one on YouTube or on volume.
Com, because it's a real fucking

83
00:04:50,330 --> 00:04:54,130
Sasquatch. And he's just.
He tells us his story.

84
00:04:54,170 --> 00:04:58,090
I mean, He's not bullshitting
about this shit. He has.

85
00:04:58,210 --> 00:05:01,890
He was addicted to drugs, you know.
That's not me. That's not made up.

86
00:05:01,890 --> 00:05:08,530
And, uh, you know, um,
we kept his voice, uh, in a lowered.

87
00:05:08,530 --> 00:05:11,130
So you don't know who it is
because it is Sasquatch,

88
00:05:11,170 --> 00:05:13,970
and he deserves his privacy, too.
But he was getting deep about

89
00:05:13,970 --> 00:05:16,930
his drug addiction.
He's got a new girlfriend.

90
00:05:16,930 --> 00:05:20,890
He's had a sasquatch.
Has a kid now, baby. Squatch.

91
00:05:20,930 --> 00:05:23,010
My god damn,
this man is living the dream.

92
00:05:23,090 --> 00:05:27,130
Just traveling this, uh, minivan.
Just all around gig to gig,

93
00:05:28,170 --> 00:05:31,050
I wonder how.
Air conditioner must work really

94
00:05:31,050 --> 00:05:33,370
well. Because if you're if you're.
You're a Sasquatch.

95
00:05:33,370 --> 00:05:37,010
All that hair and shit gotta be
fucking. Just sweaty all the time.

96
00:05:37,050 --> 00:05:40,850
Got it. And he's probably just got.
He can't keep the hygiene that good.

97
00:05:40,890 --> 00:05:44,810
Just doing that.
But, you know, good on him.

98
00:05:45,170 --> 00:05:48,610
But you're gonna love this man.
You play saxophone.

99
00:05:48,610 --> 00:05:54,920
He's he's a great, great producer.
He's blowing up in the scene I mean,

100
00:05:55,280 --> 00:05:59,280
he went solo and and it's working.
So I think gonna really love

101
00:05:59,280 --> 00:06:03,040
this interview.
Um, but like I said, enjoy that.

102
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,200
But like I said before,
we're gonna have anxiety.

103
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,120
We're gonna have, uh,
some days we're just depressed.

104
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:13,240
Some days we're beat up.
Gotta keep your head up and say

105
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,480
tomorrow's gonna be a better day.
And if we keep on saying

106
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,720
tomorrow's gonna be a better day.
Then it forces us to have a

107
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,640
better day.
If we say tomorrow's going to be

108
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:24,280
shitty. Oh, look at me. Pity me.
That why is everything happened

109
00:06:24,280 --> 00:06:27,680
to me all this bad shit?
You're gonna keep on having bad luck.

110
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,040
But if you say not today, devil,
we're gonna get through this.

111
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,480
And tomorrow's.
Even if today fucking sucked.

112
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,440
Even if today's sucked,
tomorrow is gonna be better.

113
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,520
That's all we could do is try to
be better every single day.

114
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,760
And if we could do that,
then we could get through any

115
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:45,920
depression and anxiety.
You know, even if tomorrow does suck

116
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:50,400
and it might, that's okay unless
you try to give it a good day.

117
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,440
And that's all we could dear for.
And that's what me and Sasquatch

118
00:06:53,440 --> 00:07:00,360
talks about trying each day to take
away the chaos and add harmony.

119
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,560
All right.
Enjoy Sasquatch interview,

120
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,920
and I'll see you next week.
Uh, what's going on next week?

121
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,480
Yes, I think I'm with Nick.
I, I fly home.

122
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,800
No, I don't,
I have one more week of tour. Fuck.

123
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:16,280
Um, we'll do an archive episode.
I'll put out a old episode that,

124
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:20,560
uh, that you guys, uh, that, uh,
you guys liked, and we could do,

125
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,840
uh, the world saving archives
for next week,

126
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,720
but instead of taking a week off.
Well, maybe I'll just put out an

127
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,800
interview that I just interviewed
somebody, and I didn't really wasn't

128
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:32,840
really a popular person, but I
thought it was a good interview,

129
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,760
and maybe I'll put that one out.
All right, guys, enjoy, Sasquatch.

130
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:41,280
Enjoy your day, enjoy your week.
And, uh, thanks for, uh,

thanks for always believing in us.
Because we believe in you.

132

All right. Love you. Bye. Wow.
On location, a secret location.

133
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,070
Because they don't want to know
where he is right now.

134
00:07:54,710 --> 00:08:01,990
This man has been. In what?
The woods. Yeah. The woods, you know.

135
00:08:02,070 --> 00:08:07,110
Um, but the weather's been crazy,
so, um, you know,

136
00:08:07,150 --> 00:08:10,910
I'm in and out of everywhere.
I'm everywhere. I know it's crazy.

137
00:08:10,950 --> 00:08:12,870
You have a crazy life I'd love
to talk to.

138
00:08:12,990 --> 00:08:14,590
Tell our fans,
listeners about ladies down.

139
00:08:14,590 --> 00:08:18,910
We have Sasquatch on the show today.
How are we. Doing?

140
00:08:20,030 --> 00:08:23,230
I'm doing pretty good. Amazing. Yo.
I mean,

141
00:08:23,270 --> 00:08:26,630
it feels like your career is really
starting to take off his last year.

142
00:08:26,670 --> 00:08:30,470
What have you been doing? Thanks.
Uh, you know, we've just been

143
00:08:30,470 --> 00:08:34,470
making music, I guess.
Um, I think that's the thing that's

144
00:08:34,470 --> 00:08:40,630
most important is the music.
Yeah. Yeah, totally. Yeah, it's.

145
00:08:40,630 --> 00:08:43,390
It's crazy even seeing you in person.
I know, you guys.

146
00:08:43,430 --> 00:08:45,270
You're opening for us in this
next couple of days.

147
00:08:45,270 --> 00:08:47,190
So I was like,
I had to get him on the podcast.

148
00:08:47,390 --> 00:08:50,190
We still don't know where he
came from.

149
00:08:50,470 --> 00:08:52,300
Give us a little bit of your
origin story.

150
00:08:52,340 --> 00:08:55,460
Like how why did you decide to
finally come out and like.

151
00:08:55,500 --> 00:08:58,300
I don't know.
Hang out with humans. Yeah.

152
00:08:58,300 --> 00:09:00,140
Well, you know,
I come from a musical family.

153
00:09:00,180 --> 00:09:05,540
My grandfather Bigfoot and my
sister Bigfoot. But, um. Yeah.

154
00:09:05,900 --> 00:09:09,460
You know, there was actually a
lot of hesitation for me going

155
00:09:09,460 --> 00:09:12,180
out to do shows.
Literally everyone was like,

156
00:09:12,820 --> 00:09:14,940
you know, you're a fucking idiot,
you know?

157
00:09:14,940 --> 00:09:20,220
And, like, nobody's gonna
believe in you. You're a joke.

158
00:09:20,940 --> 00:09:24,740
You know, and my whole life, you
know, no one's ever really believed

159
00:09:24,740 --> 00:09:29,180
in me and finally just had enough.
You know, and I think that's.

160
00:09:29,220 --> 00:09:31,940
I had enough.
And I'm just like, I gotta do this.

161
00:09:31,980 --> 00:09:35,380
You know, if I end up in the corner
of a bar somewhere at the end of my

162
00:09:35,380 --> 00:09:39,380
life. Yeah, I'll be happy with that.
They say a lot of, uh, you know,

163
00:09:39,420 --> 00:09:44,060
family trauma fuels, um,
work ethic and stuff, so maybe.

164
00:09:44,340 --> 00:09:47,940
Well, that's deep. Yeah.
Well, I'm just like, it's.

165
00:09:47,940 --> 00:09:50,980
I'm very curious about the whole.
The whole thing.

166
00:09:51,020 --> 00:09:53,300
Like, why did you decide to play
the saxophone?

167
00:09:53,300 --> 00:09:55,980
Why did you decide to like.
Because it's very.

168
00:09:56,020 --> 00:09:57,860
You're you're putting yourself
in a dangerous spot.

169
00:09:57,900 --> 00:10:00,140
People have been trying to find
you for a long time.

170
00:10:00,420 --> 00:10:05,660
That's a great question.
Um, the saxophone is when I

171
00:10:05,660 --> 00:10:09,780
heard it for the first time.
It's like such a primal instrument,

172
00:10:09,820 --> 00:10:13,420
you know? It's like.
It's like a wild animal. Yeah.

173
00:10:13,460 --> 00:10:15,460
And, um, when it's played.
Right,

174
00:10:15,460 --> 00:10:21,940
I heard it played by a junior walker.
Um. And I was like, Holy crap.

175
00:10:21,940 --> 00:10:25,860
Like, this is what I gotta do.
I got a saxophone and just

176
00:10:25,860 --> 00:10:27,740
became obsessed with it.
You know, like,

177
00:10:27,780 --> 00:10:31,060
you ever just become totally obsessed
and you just make something.

178
00:10:31,060 --> 00:10:38,380
Your whole personality. Yeah, yeah.
Drinking. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

179
00:10:38,420 --> 00:10:41,380
Well, you got a good personality.
I think anybody underneath that.

180
00:10:41,420 --> 00:10:43,580
Thanks. Yeah. Yeah.
It's a I don't know.

181
00:10:43,580 --> 00:10:46,140
Sometimes we cope things.
You know, it's like the same thing

182
00:10:46,140 --> 00:10:49,170
with your parents not accepting you.
Right? Yeah.

183
00:10:49,170 --> 00:10:52,370
So we cope it and say like I
could prove them wrong, right?

184
00:10:52,770 --> 00:10:55,570
Yeah. Proving people wrong.
Yeah. Who wouldn't?

185
00:10:55,650 --> 00:10:58,210
Who would have known that would
be such a good fuel?

186
00:10:58,250 --> 00:11:01,330
Or in your case, you've been proving
people right that you exist.

187
00:11:01,410 --> 00:11:04,690
Yeah. Or some people.
Yeah, right. Some people.

188
00:11:04,730 --> 00:11:07,330
Because there are people who believe.
And that's what I found out,

189
00:11:07,330 --> 00:11:12,050
actually, is that there are people
who believe. Okay. You know. Like.

190
00:11:12,050 --> 00:11:14,650
Who? Like they're everywhere.
You know, I've been playing these big

191
00:11:14,650 --> 00:11:18,410
foot festivals all over the country.
And I found out that in the United

192
00:11:18,410 --> 00:11:23,290
States, about 20 to 30 people,
30% of people believe in Bigfoot.

193
00:11:23,330 --> 00:11:27,010
That's fucking crazy. That's a giant.
No, that's that's tens of

194
00:11:27,010 --> 00:11:30,770
millions of people. Yeah.
Um, and that feels really good.

195
00:11:30,770 --> 00:11:34,650
I had no idea, um,
that even that market was there,

196
00:11:34,650 --> 00:11:36,930
and it's very interesting market,
you know? Yeah.

197
00:11:36,970 --> 00:11:40,490
Bigfoot was like the culture in
the US was really big in the 70s.

198
00:11:40,530 --> 00:11:45,210
And so a lot of the women that
are still alive from the 70s are

199
00:11:45,210 --> 00:11:47,690
the ones like DNA.
Me like all this stuff, like.

200
00:11:47,730 --> 00:11:50,800
Oh, so you got, like, a big,
like, menopausal fan base?

201
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:55,040
Um, at first. Yes.
At first, um, that was like the first

202
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:59,240
fan base, you know? Yeah. Yeah.
Because in the 70s, it was like,

203
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,600
um. Oh, Bigfoot had my baby.
Like, check out my babies

204
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,280
covered in hair, you know?
How old are you? Sasquatch?

205
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,320
Oh, 31. Just had my birthday.
Oh, happy birthday buddy. Yeah.

206
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,000
Thanks so much. What? I'm.
I'm just very curious.

207
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:15,000
Like, tell me about you have a tour
manager. Like, how do you travel?

208
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,240
I mean, you're kind of a big thing.
What are you traveling?

209
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,560
Chevy express.
You travel in a Chevy Express?

210
00:12:21,680 --> 00:12:24,240
Chevy, baby. Yes. Yeah.
Do people just see you on the

211
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,520
road and be like, what the fuck?
Who is it?

212
00:12:27,560 --> 00:12:30,920
I have a license plate that says
Sasquatch. Actually, really?

213
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,200
It's kind of vain.
Whatever, I like it.

214
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,520
You know, and it's not like a
it's not like a glorious van.

215
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:38,680
It's not like I'm flexing too
hard or anything.

216
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:44,640
Have you had any past gigs before you
went solo? Um. You know, not really.

217
00:12:44,680 --> 00:12:51,480
Um, the Sasquatch name kind of
just came about due to a nickname,

218
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,960
because I'm a Sasquatch who became
obsessed with the saxophone.

219
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,400
And so it was kind of like,
shut up, Sasquatch, you know?

220
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,320
Have you ever, like, taken any,
like, psychedelics?

221
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,560
Yeah, I have a face, for sure.
I had a face for sure.

222
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:09,720
Like what? What were you taking?
Uh, anything that.

223
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:13,320
Anything you got, bro? Um, yeah.
Anything you got?

224
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:18,920
I would be freaked out if I saw a
fucking Sasquatch on cocaine. Yeah.

225
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,320
You were. Did you take cocaine? Yeah.
Yeah. But, um. What were you like?

226
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,640
Were you people scared of you?
I'm already like,

227
00:13:24,680 --> 00:13:27,880
you're sober now. And I'm scared.
Yeah, yeah, I don't anymore.

228
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:32,200
But, um, I have to say it.
It was like I didn't do it.

229
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,600
I think, like other people did it,
you know, it was more.

230
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,880
It was kind of sad. Why?
Why how are you doing it?

231
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,160
It's just kind of sad.
You know, the party's over and

232
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,040
I'm somewhere else.
You know, it's five, 6 a.m.,

233
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,440
you know what I'm saying? And.
And it's, you know,

234
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,350
we're when the back of a U-Haul.
You know what I mean?

235
00:13:47,390 --> 00:13:50,310
Just howling at the moon. Yeah.
Outside the gas station?

236
00:13:50,350 --> 00:13:52,830
Yeah, exactly. Really?
You're that into coke?

237
00:13:52,870 --> 00:13:56,470
I mean, I mean, uh.
Can we talk about that?

238
00:13:57,390 --> 00:14:00,670
What do you think triggered you
having such a bad drug addiction?

239
00:14:00,710 --> 00:14:05,190
Well, you never know.
Addictions are a complex topic.

240
00:14:05,230 --> 00:14:08,910
You know. Yeah.
Um, I've been I've been sober for

241
00:14:08,910 --> 00:14:14,230
about 13 years. Oh, wow. Yeah.
So it's it's been an amazing journey.

242
00:14:14,230 --> 00:14:18,350
I think, honestly, like, um,
I think I was just seeking

243
00:14:18,350 --> 00:14:20,870
something kind of spiritual.
You know what I'm saying? Yeah.

244
00:14:20,910 --> 00:14:25,870
Um, and so I try to make the music
kind of a spiritual experience.

245
00:14:26,150 --> 00:14:30,310
Yeah. The shows. So you're.
What got you into drugs?

246
00:14:30,310 --> 00:14:33,070
Like what was.
Why did you start doing a bunch

247
00:14:33,070 --> 00:14:36,150
of blowing?
Uh, I, I don't know,

248
00:14:36,190 --> 00:14:38,230
I was just strong.
I was just different than than

249
00:14:38,230 --> 00:14:43,670
other sasquatches.
I bet you know, I you never know why.

250
00:14:43,710 --> 00:14:46,500
It's just one day you go, wow,
I'm gonna I'm gonna do that.

251
00:14:46,500 --> 00:14:49,980
Some some people, like, do you get
talkative on blow? Do you get sad?

252
00:14:50,020 --> 00:14:52,380
Like, what's your like,
what's your blow take?

253
00:14:53,300 --> 00:14:59,540
Um, I get, uh, quiet and I look
for stuff that I can sell.

254
00:15:04,700 --> 00:15:07,380
Shut the fuck up.
What was the craziest thing you

255
00:15:07,380 --> 00:15:10,300
sold on cocaine?
Oh, one of my saxophones, man.

256
00:15:10,340 --> 00:15:13,740
No way. Yeah. Were you?
Why'd you do that?

257
00:15:14,140 --> 00:15:18,820
You wanted more coke or, like.
Yeah, it got that bad. Yeah.

258
00:15:18,860 --> 00:15:21,860
I mean, that's it's it's real for.
It's real, man. Yeah.

259
00:15:21,900 --> 00:15:24,380
I mean, I wouldn't have gotten I
wouldn't have gotten clean if it

260
00:15:24,380 --> 00:15:27,700
wasn't, uh, if it wasn't a problem,
I guess so. Wait. Hold on.

261
00:15:27,700 --> 00:15:29,460
So you sold your. When you.
Okay,

262
00:15:29,500 --> 00:15:31,420
so what time did you sell your sex?
Like,

263
00:15:31,420 --> 00:15:33,300
give me the whole story of that.
That probably like,

264
00:15:33,340 --> 00:15:37,340
that was probably the last day you
got sober then, right? Uh, no.

265
00:15:37,980 --> 00:15:42,660
Um, no, but it definitely hurt.
You know, I was just it was just.

266
00:15:42,660 --> 00:15:45,820
It's definitely a moment when you're
like of clarity, when you're like,

267
00:15:45,860 --> 00:15:48,260
oh, I'm not in control here.
You know what I'm saying?

268
00:15:48,300 --> 00:15:51,180
Oh, man. Yeah.
In the back of a U-Haul,

269
00:15:51,180 --> 00:15:56,980
you just be ripping. Blow. Yeah.
Holy shit. Man. I'm sorry man.

270
00:15:57,820 --> 00:16:01,540
Hey, bro, life is good today, though.
I know, but, like, so, like,

271
00:16:01,540 --> 00:16:04,660
maybe that's what the music kind
of saved your life.

272
00:16:05,220 --> 00:16:10,900
Um, it's, again,
it's hard to say because, um. When.

273
00:16:10,940 --> 00:16:13,220
I mean, we're talking about getting
clean, you know what I'm saying?

274
00:16:13,220 --> 00:16:15,100
And and that's a really complex
topic.

275
00:16:15,100 --> 00:16:19,020
But I felt like I had to actually put
my music to side to the side for a

276
00:16:19,020 --> 00:16:24,380
second and find out who I was. Yeah.
Um, a huge identity crisis, you know,

277
00:16:24,420 --> 00:16:27,420
because it was so wrapped up into
the music at the time. Yeah.

278
00:16:27,460 --> 00:16:32,620
This was 15 years ago. Yeah, yeah.
Um, yeah. To have to relearn music.

279
00:16:32,620 --> 00:16:36,500
Almost just because I didn't know how
to be inspired, you know what I mean?

280
00:16:36,780 --> 00:16:39,540
Like, authentically.
Because my whole life was wrapped

281
00:16:39,540 --> 00:16:44,210
around, uh, kind of chasing dopamine
and like almost that's almost

282
00:16:44,210 --> 00:16:47,250
how I created music at the time.
50 years ago, 15 years ago,

283
00:16:47,250 --> 00:16:50,170
I was like, oh,
what's the dopamine release here?

284
00:16:50,170 --> 00:16:53,450
What's it going to be like for the
person listening, you know? Right.

285
00:16:53,490 --> 00:16:58,690
And um, and now it's much more
about like, uh, connection on a,

286
00:16:58,730 --> 00:17:02,490
on a, on a, on a human level,
you know what I mean?

287
00:17:02,530 --> 00:17:07,090
Um, you know, life's not all
dopamine, you know what I'm saying?

288
00:17:07,130 --> 00:17:09,570
No, I mean, that's what.
That's why I had to, like, slow

289
00:17:09,570 --> 00:17:15,090
down taking drugs, like, I didn't.
I didn't like having to, like, shovel

290
00:17:15,090 --> 00:17:18,930
back the dopamine from the morning
because I fucking wasted it all.

291
00:17:18,930 --> 00:17:25,090
Like, I've been taking less and less
cocaine lately, and, um, I feel

292
00:17:25,090 --> 00:17:28,490
my dopamine slowly coming back.
I see a lot of people that I

293
00:17:28,490 --> 00:17:31,930
hang out with.
Uh, I just do blow all the time.

294
00:17:32,010 --> 00:17:36,210
And they're like, the mornings
they don't have any dopamine, so,

295
00:17:36,210 --> 00:17:38,850
like, they're happy when they
got that fix, and then in the

296
00:17:38,850 --> 00:17:42,440
morning they can't fucking pull
themselves out of bed and they

297
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:47,040
think the world's against them.
I think the dopamine thing is

298
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,440
important.
You can't just process dopamine

299
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,600
your whole life.
You need to find a way to have

300
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,320
it come back naturally.
If it's music, if it's falling

301
00:17:55,320 --> 00:18:02,040
in love, if it's having a hobby,
something, find something that

302
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:05,280
keeps the dopamine so you're not
relying on this powder or this

303
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:10,440
fucking ecstasy or this weed that to,
um, kind of keep you in the

304
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:14,520
strain narrow. Right? 1,000,000%.
And I started going to therapy,

305
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,680
and, um. You went to. Therapy?
Yeah, I still go to therapy.

306
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:21,720
Okay. Hold on. Dude. How do you.
How does Sasquatch go to therapy?

307
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,640
Like, what is this?
Sasquatches and humans have a

308
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:28,480
lot in common. I know, you know.
And so came from y'all. Yeah.

309
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,160
And one of the things he suggested
is because I've been alone for a

310
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,400
long time, right? Yeah.
And so he was like, we gotta learn

311
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:39,000
how to be alone without being lonely.
Oh, that's so good point. And then.

312
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,480
And then we got to talking.
and that was one of our goals.

313
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,640
And then he was like, you know, let's
talk about finding you some hobbies.

314
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,640
What are some things that you like,
you know.

315
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:48,880
And I was like, well,
I used to love playing chess when

316
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,880
I was younger, you know. Yeah.
So I got back into playing chess.

317
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,480
I started playing Yu-Gi-Oh with
my dad. You know.

318
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:58,880
Fun and, um, and these little things
that I can do throughout the day to,

319
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,320
like, get connection, um,
with with something else.

320
00:19:02,360 --> 00:19:05,760
It's it's it is a spiritual feeling.
And I love that stuff.

321
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:09,280
And it honestly, it makes creating so
much more relevant because to me,

322
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:13,520
art is all about context.
It's like, would you rather

323
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:17,120
would you, would your message
rather be chaos or harmony?

324
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,080
You know, because when I was
exactly when I was, when I was

325
00:19:20,120 --> 00:19:23,360
like using drugs and everything,
at the end of the day, the truth

326
00:19:23,360 --> 00:19:27,440
was that my life was a giant,
unmanageable, chaotic mess. Oh, yeah.

327
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,600
I realized that the minute I
started taking control of, uh,

328
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,400
making my show harmony instead of
chaos is the minute we started

329
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:37,440
getting more successful, too. Yeah.
And and harmony, I think,

330
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:41,030
is about, um, like,
kind of almost peace, you know?

331
00:19:41,150 --> 00:19:45,150
Um, and letting life happen and
not trying to control everything.

332
00:19:45,150 --> 00:19:48,790
And that's really hard for,
like, musicians. Yeah.

333
00:19:48,830 --> 00:19:50,750
It's true. I'm telling you.
I mean, you're living out of a

334
00:19:50,750 --> 00:19:53,830
fucking minivan, dude.
Yeah, I'm living out of a bus.

335
00:19:53,870 --> 00:19:57,190
I mean, not even a bus.
A bandwagon that's a basically a

336
00:19:57,670 --> 00:20:00,790
a pop up trailer that just
bounces around.

337
00:20:00,830 --> 00:20:05,750
I mean, we are the 1%, and it's
hard to relate with anyone because

338
00:20:05,750 --> 00:20:09,230
we are the 1% that people try to,
like, understand our life.

339
00:20:09,270 --> 00:20:12,030
Like, I'm glad you found you
have a lover. What's her name?

340
00:20:12,110 --> 00:20:15,390
Thick foot, thick foot.
She travels with you, right? Yeah.

341
00:20:15,430 --> 00:20:19,790
Yeah. She understands you. Yeah.
Have you had a kid before? Yeah.

342
00:20:19,830 --> 00:20:23,790
I, um, we have a almost four year
old. Almost four year. Old? Yeah.

343
00:20:23,830 --> 00:20:27,470
How's that? How is how is it hard?
Is it raising a kid in this?

344
00:20:27,510 --> 00:20:33,550
This is this is such a it's such a
big balance having a kid and and

345
00:20:33,590 --> 00:20:36,590
having to tour, you know? Yeah.
How do you do it? We basically.

346
00:20:36,590 --> 00:20:40,870
I'm touring on the weekends. Um.
And, um, it takes a village.

347
00:20:40,910 --> 00:20:43,590
You know, my folks help out at
home and everything.

348
00:20:43,630 --> 00:20:47,670
What are your parents names again?
Um, they're they're just fellow

349
00:20:47,670 --> 00:20:49,750
sasquatches. I just.
Call Mom and. Dad.

350
00:20:49,790 --> 00:20:54,550
We have Sasquatch language for that.
Oh, cool. Um, yeah. And.

351
00:20:55,350 --> 00:20:58,310
And he's so great. Um.
Little squatch. Little squatch.

352
00:20:58,310 --> 00:20:59,750
That's what he.
That's what he goes by.

353
00:20:59,750 --> 00:21:01,750
That's so. Cute.
Yeah, he likes my music, too,

354
00:21:01,790 --> 00:21:03,990
so he'll make the music with me.
Sometimes he.

355
00:21:04,030 --> 00:21:07,590
He wants to be on a track.
How old is he? Four. Yeah.

356
00:21:07,630 --> 00:21:10,510
Almost four.
He's starting to realize what

357
00:21:10,550 --> 00:21:15,470
missing someone is. Um, yes.
But, you know, not in the same way

358
00:21:15,470 --> 00:21:19,110
that maybe we understand it, you
know? Yeah. It's still young, man.

359
00:21:19,350 --> 00:21:22,630
You know, I always come back pretty.
The tours I do are never that long.

360
00:21:22,670 --> 00:21:26,150
Actually, if I do like a full tour,
it's usually I.

361
00:21:26,230 --> 00:21:29,590
I, uh, only do about two weeks at
a time, so it's nothing crazy.

362
00:21:29,630 --> 00:21:33,430
It's not like that's at a time.
Are the other ones supporting your

363
00:21:33,430 --> 00:21:41,020
family? Um, yeah. Is it hard?
Um, you know, growing up is hard.

364
00:21:41,100 --> 00:21:45,260
You know, growing pains. Yeah.
Thanks, brother. Thanks.

365
00:21:45,460 --> 00:21:50,780
Thanks for. That. Thanks. Damn.
Sasquatch understands. He he.

366
00:21:51,100 --> 00:21:55,700
He knows. Me. Yup, yup. Um.
That's crazy, man. It's like.

367
00:21:55,700 --> 00:21:58,780
So I would like to know the moment.
What was the moment when you

368
00:21:58,780 --> 00:22:00,780
turned chaos into harmony?
Do you remember that moment,

369
00:22:00,820 --> 00:22:04,140
like where you said you had to stop
doing, torturing yourself and try

370
00:22:04,180 --> 00:22:09,540
to live in peace with yourself?
Um, I think there's many moments.

371
00:22:09,740 --> 00:22:14,540
Um, but, you know,
kind of having spiritual experiences.

372
00:22:14,740 --> 00:22:21,540
Um, I feel like I've had so many.
Um, just by seeking, seeking them,

373
00:22:21,580 --> 00:22:24,980
you know, and looking for them.
Yeah. Like what? What do you seek?

374
00:22:25,020 --> 00:22:29,580
What are you seeking?
I guess, uh, I guess I'm seeking

375
00:22:29,580 --> 00:22:32,300
to just get out of my own way.
Yeah. You know what I mean?

376
00:22:32,740 --> 00:22:36,850
How hard is that? It's difficult.
Even for a Sasquatch. Yeah.

377
00:22:36,890 --> 00:22:41,650
Because, um, you know, we kind of
got the bug. Do you got the bug?

378
00:22:41,690 --> 00:22:44,570
Yeah. Of course. I live on the road.
Yeah, I got the bug.

379
00:22:44,610 --> 00:22:47,290
We we want to do it.
You know, it's kind of our dream.

380
00:22:47,290 --> 00:22:50,530
We live for, like,
to interact with the crowd and

381
00:22:50,530 --> 00:22:53,930
to have an amazing time and to
just know that we're doing that.

382
00:22:53,970 --> 00:22:57,890
I feel more comfortable on the road
than I do just chilling in my house.

383
00:22:57,970 --> 00:23:00,970
I feel more comfortable in a hotel.
Man, can I tell you something?

384
00:23:00,970 --> 00:23:05,610
One time I, uh, I got done with the
tour, and for the first time ever,

385
00:23:05,610 --> 00:23:08,690
I had made a little bit of money
and I was like, gosh,

386
00:23:08,690 --> 00:23:11,450
this tour was so tough.
I'm gonna take a break. Yeah.

387
00:23:11,490 --> 00:23:13,890
You know, like, I don't know if
you've ever done that.

388
00:23:13,930 --> 00:23:16,490
No, I've never done that.
Just make money and then keep it

389
00:23:16,490 --> 00:23:19,090
in my bank account.
Yeah, but don't don't take a break

390
00:23:19,090 --> 00:23:22,370
because, um. When you take a break.
What happened? Depression.

391
00:23:24,450 --> 00:23:27,930
I fucking know it, dude.
I fucking know it. That's.

392
00:23:27,930 --> 00:23:30,890
That's why I don't want to stop.
I kind of even if I'm, like,

393
00:23:30,930 --> 00:23:33,170
a little tired.
I'd rather be a little tired and

394
00:23:33,170 --> 00:23:36,810
be completely happy then,
like being tired and depressed

395
00:23:36,810 --> 00:23:40,730
because I'm not doing what I should
be doing every, every day of my life.

396
00:23:40,770 --> 00:23:43,250
I mean, that's living the dream,
right? Yeah.

397
00:23:43,290 --> 00:23:46,730
You know, I remember that time that
I decided I was going to, like,

398
00:23:46,890 --> 00:23:50,970
put music aside and just focus
on making sure I'm alive. Yeah.

399
00:23:51,010 --> 00:23:55,610
And I remember, uh, you know,
walking down the road and being like,

400
00:23:55,650 --> 00:23:59,690
man, if I saw a musician playing
on the side of the road and I knew

401
00:23:59,730 --> 00:24:03,810
that I wasn't doing that, yeah,
I would, I would feel so bad.

402
00:24:03,850 --> 00:24:06,530
Right. You know what I mean?
And I just. So I just have to do it.

403
00:24:06,570 --> 00:24:10,890
You know, I just it I just have
to do it. It's it's who we are.

404
00:24:10,890 --> 00:24:14,650
It's what we've tried so hard to
do for so long right now.

405
00:24:14,770 --> 00:24:18,690
Against our success. Yeah.
Yeah, it feels good. You know.

406
00:24:18,730 --> 00:24:21,170
No, you don't really feel it
until someone says it.

407
00:24:21,210 --> 00:24:23,050
You know what I mean? Right.
Or just like in it,

408
00:24:23,090 --> 00:24:26,370
you don't feel it until, like,
you you take your head,

409
00:24:26,570 --> 00:24:30,010
you pop your head up from fucking
boots in the ground and realize,

410
00:24:30,010 --> 00:24:32,210
oh, shit, I've been I've been
trying to do that lately.

411
00:24:32,250 --> 00:24:35,800
It's like, kind of appreciate
what I've been doing.

412
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,360
You know, like, I'll just, like,
I've just been working so

413
00:24:38,360 --> 00:24:41,240
fucking much, and I see,
I know I'm getting more successful,

414
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:45,120
but I don't want to put my eye
off the prize, but sometimes I,

415
00:24:45,120 --> 00:24:49,120
I have I have a couple people in
my life who are remind me, hey,

416
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:52,840
look up, look what you're doing.
There's thousands of people here.

417
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:57,360
You are reaching milestones.
You know, it's like sometimes we

418
00:24:57,360 --> 00:25:01,560
have to be reminded that all this
hard work is actually paying off.

419
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,400
You're so right.
And it's the little things, too.

420
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:08,720
Um, like like you've run into
one person and they say they say

421
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:12,000
something like, um, like six foot.
The other day ran into someone

422
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,560
and they were talking.
She came to me and was like, hey,

423
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:20,760
like, this guy was like on the
verge of, like ending himself.

424
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:25,400
And then saw your YouTube video and
decided to take his grandfather's old

425
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,440
socks out of the closet and play it.
And now he's, oh. My.

426
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:32,720
God, now his life is doing so well.
And like, you're his inspiration.

427
00:25:32,750 --> 00:25:36,270
and I'm just thinking in my head
I'm like, that is so like,

428
00:25:36,310 --> 00:25:38,910
that's what it's all about is helping
people, right? You know? Right.

429
00:25:38,950 --> 00:25:41,630
And and if you are,
ask us why we do it.

430
00:25:41,630 --> 00:25:45,550
I think it has to be about
helping other people 3%, 100%.

431
00:25:45,590 --> 00:25:49,670
Because if it's about us, uh,
you know, that's just not the point,

432
00:25:49,710 --> 00:25:52,590
right? It's not about.
We're not doing this for our health,

433
00:25:52,590 --> 00:25:56,430
Sasquatch.
We're doing this to fucking heal some

434
00:25:56,430 --> 00:25:59,350
people and and probably heal us,
too. I mean, look at your story.

435
00:25:59,350 --> 00:26:01,030
You got out of cocaine.
You've been ripping.

436
00:26:01,150 --> 00:26:03,470
I can't believe you were ripping
cocaine in a U-Haul.

437
00:26:03,510 --> 00:26:09,510
That's fucking crazy. That's crazy.
Yeah. Oh, was that before?

438
00:26:09,550 --> 00:26:13,590
Like, you're in bands or after you're
in bands. Like when you're like, oh.

439
00:26:14,150 --> 00:26:16,630
You know, like, uh, like like,
who knows?

440
00:26:16,630 --> 00:26:19,590
I, I was just one of those people
that's drawn to it. Yeah. It's like.

441
00:26:19,630 --> 00:26:22,830
Me too. I love cocaine so much.
Yeah, I gotta be.

442
00:26:22,870 --> 00:26:25,310
I gotta stay away from it
because I like it too much.

443
00:26:25,590 --> 00:26:32,630
Yeah, you know what I'm saying?
It's. You're just crying inside.

444
00:26:32,670 --> 00:26:37,150
I fucking love coke so much.
Uh, no. I like it too much.

445
00:26:37,350 --> 00:26:39,910
I got a I got I'm like.
But it teaches you willpower.

446
00:26:39,950 --> 00:26:42,590
You know, I like.
This has been a whole kind of

447
00:26:42,630 --> 00:26:44,870
clean year.
I've been kind of like, I'll do coke

448
00:26:44,910 --> 00:26:48,310
every now and then, but I've been.
I stopped smoking weed. Really?

449
00:26:48,350 --> 00:26:51,510
I stopped taking mushrooms. Kinda.
I eat a little,

450
00:26:51,550 --> 00:26:55,630
I eat like microdosing.
I microdosing a little bit, um,

451
00:26:55,910 --> 00:26:59,310
during the show, but I don't eat
them all day like I used to.

452
00:26:59,470 --> 00:27:04,030
I feel like I'm finally like I
have control of my depression now.

453
00:27:04,550 --> 00:27:06,710
And sometimes when you don't
have control your depression,

454
00:27:06,710 --> 00:27:09,830
that's when you start.
I think that's when you start

455
00:27:09,830 --> 00:27:12,630
taking drugs and shit.
Yeah, just like losing it.

456
00:27:12,630 --> 00:27:15,190
Like fucking snapping.
Yeah, because it's fun at first,

457
00:27:15,190 --> 00:27:18,870
but then you're filling a void.
And then when you fill a void,

458
00:27:18,870 --> 00:27:21,390
that means that's when it starts
getting in trouble. Yeah.

459
00:27:21,390 --> 00:27:23,230
You gotta feel good in your life,
right?

460
00:27:23,270 --> 00:27:27,350
I mean, you can't just be miserable
all the time and to not take drugs,

461
00:27:27,390 --> 00:27:33,620
you know? You got a point, brother.
You got a point.

462
00:27:34,940 --> 00:27:38,340
You got to feel good. Gotta feel.
Good. And that's. That's important.

463
00:27:38,380 --> 00:27:42,460
How hard is it to feel good?
How hard is it to feel good?

464
00:27:42,500 --> 00:27:44,500
It's hard.
It's hard to allow yourself to feel

465
00:27:44,500 --> 00:27:48,060
good. All right. That's the question.
You gotta allow yourself to feel

466
00:27:48,060 --> 00:27:50,900
good.
We're too afraid to enjoy things

467
00:27:50,900 --> 00:27:53,260
because we're afraid. What?
Other people are gonna think of them,

468
00:27:53,260 --> 00:27:55,980
right? Yeah.
What's your take on humans?

469
00:27:56,020 --> 00:28:01,140
Like, what do you think? We suck.
Um. No. No, I think we're equal.

470
00:28:01,180 --> 00:28:04,300
You know, I think we're the same.
Uh, we're. Both.

471
00:28:04,340 --> 00:28:07,300
Some greedy sasquatches out there.
You said greedy.

472
00:28:07,340 --> 00:28:10,340
Other greedy sasquatches. Yeah.
Did you. Know. What I'm saying?

473
00:28:10,380 --> 00:28:12,420
I think it's just kind of a
human experience.

474
00:28:12,420 --> 00:28:15,180
It depends on what roads you go down,
you know? Right.

475
00:28:15,220 --> 00:28:19,860
Um, like, before I traveled that
much, I thought that maybe other

476
00:28:19,860 --> 00:28:23,060
people were completely different.
Other sasquatches were completely

477
00:28:23,060 --> 00:28:24,860
different in other places. Yeah.
And then.

478
00:28:24,860 --> 00:28:27,300
I don't know if you've come to
find this, but just traveling,

479
00:28:27,300 --> 00:28:30,570
it's like. Oh, humans are humans.
No matter where you go.

480
00:28:30,890 --> 00:28:34,210
Sasquatches or sasquatches?
We're just kind of the same. Yeah.

481
00:28:34,250 --> 00:28:37,370
It depends on the circumstances
and the context of things.

482
00:28:37,370 --> 00:28:38,850
And I hear. You.
You know,

483
00:28:38,890 --> 00:28:43,610
hopefully we can add a lot of, um,
a lot of inspiration to people.

484
00:28:43,610 --> 00:28:46,810
And I just want to help people
feel good. Yeah. How do you think?

485
00:28:47,090 --> 00:28:49,610
And how do you think? You know?
What type of advice would you give

486
00:28:49,610 --> 00:28:54,850
people to make them feel good?
Um. It's tough.

487
00:28:54,890 --> 00:28:58,770
Um, you know, I started doing
some meditation. Yeah.

488
00:28:58,810 --> 00:29:02,450
And, like, guided meditation is
a great way to start.

489
00:29:02,690 --> 00:29:07,090
Um, you know, like I said, I do
the whole therapy thing. It helps.

490
00:29:07,250 --> 00:29:10,370
Right. It. You know, you gotta try.
You gotta try every day.

491
00:29:10,410 --> 00:29:12,730
Try, try, try, try.
You can't take a day off. Right.

492
00:29:12,770 --> 00:29:17,490
Um. And some days feel like ls.
We just gotta take the L and move on.

493
00:29:17,530 --> 00:29:21,530
Yeah. Yeah, yeah. You know. So. Yeah.
So, um, when was the biggest l

494
00:29:21,570 --> 00:29:26,010
you've ever taken? Biggest?
Oh, that's a really good question.

495
00:29:26,050 --> 00:29:30,210
Um, biggest l, man.
Just humiliating myself.

496
00:29:30,250 --> 00:29:33,450
How about that? Yeah. Like why?
Tell me. Did you ever just, uh.

497
00:29:33,450 --> 00:29:38,250
You ever just, you know,
double down on a on a bet and just.

498
00:29:38,290 --> 00:29:43,290
And then just lose it all, and then.
Just like I'm doing it right now,

499
00:29:43,290 --> 00:29:49,570
brother. You know, I've, uh.
Yeah. For sure.

500
00:29:49,610 --> 00:29:53,210
I mean, doubled down and losing.
It's humiliating,

501
00:29:53,210 --> 00:29:57,370
but at least you tried. Yeah.
And the hope is that we learn

502
00:29:57,370 --> 00:30:00,490
from our mistakes. What'd you do?
Tell me. I want to know what.

503
00:30:00,490 --> 00:30:03,170
You're trying to think of.
Some of the just the biggest hurdles.

504
00:30:03,250 --> 00:30:07,130
Uh, like sitting in with people and
not having the microphone work and

505
00:30:07,130 --> 00:30:10,810
just, uh, having the laptop shut
down in the middle of the set.

506
00:30:10,850 --> 00:30:13,130
You know what I'm saying?
Just complete ls.

507
00:30:13,170 --> 00:30:15,450
Have you ever had a Spinal tap
moment where you just can't find

508
00:30:15,450 --> 00:30:18,650
the stage and you're just sweating?
I mean, you're a big person.

509
00:30:18,690 --> 00:30:20,410
Um,
I've I've I've had some very close

510
00:30:20,410 --> 00:30:24,810
calls where almost just completely
shit tripped over a monitor.

511
00:30:25,450 --> 00:30:28,160
I mean, you can't see anything.
You're wearing glasses and you

512
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:32,600
have a saxophone like vipers.
You know, you got these big ass feet.

513
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:35,840
So I got this big.
How do you have sex?

514
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:41,160
I'm the same way I have sex.
Is it like doggy?

515
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,640
A lot of doggy style.
I mean, you're blowing.

516
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,040
Like I was. I was always curious.
You probably have a hog on you.

517
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:56,640
Yeah, yeah, well,
that's what they say.

518
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,360
But, uh, you know, the big feet,
big sacks. Yeah.

519
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,840
What about, um,
your your your girlfriend. She's, uh.

520
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,960
She in pain when it happened.
Like, what is it like? Bigfoot.

521
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,160
Um, you know, she can throw a
black dog. She can throw it back.

522
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:15,120
Okay. Yeah, that's my girl.
Yeah, that's pretty wild, man.

523
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:17,840
I'm curious about how your, um,
selling out shows.

524
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,440
You said there's a philosophy to
selling out shows,

525
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:23,280
and you've been selling out
shows the last year. What?

526
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:27,280
What have you and your girlfriend
been doing to, uh, try to get people,

527
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:30,360
you know, get people to recognize.
Who? Sasquatches. Yeah.

528
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:33,400
Well, the first and most
important thing is to just make

529
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:37,360
the show so fucking good.
You know, I got my laser license

530
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:38,960
from the government.
You got a laser,

531
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:43,160
you got a laser machine?
I got I got four, um, four class A

532
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:48,200
laser. Shut the fuck up, Sasquatch.
So, are you serious? Yeah. So?

533
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:51,000
So I'm running.
Um, I'm running my Ableton setup.

534
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:53,160
You know.
Yeah, I got the stems, I got stuff.

535
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,000
But then when you trigger
certain scenes, I've.

536
00:31:55,000 --> 00:32:01,360
I've built in, it's, um.
It's midi to DMX, to Ilda to the

537
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:05,480
laser, so exercise to some
pre-programmed patches in there.

538
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:08,720
But then I've designed these.
So the laser shows are also shooting

539
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,080
laser beams over people's heads.
That's fucking right.

540
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:15,440
So what what what's to get a
certificate to do? Lasers.

541
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:19,200
Like what's like what's it take?
It's it's a really, uh,

542
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:22,960
rigorous process, but, um.
You can blind a motherfucker.

543
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:27,070
Yes, yes. It's serious.
It's really serious.

544
00:32:27,110 --> 00:32:30,350
Fucking scary dude. Yeah.
So it's a good insurance.

545
00:32:30,350 --> 00:32:33,790
Like you have to get, like,
band insurance. Um, no.

546
00:32:33,790 --> 00:32:36,430
The variance kind of includes
its own kind of.

547
00:32:36,470 --> 00:32:41,390
You're going to be responsible.
Something bad happens. Oh my God.

548
00:32:41,390 --> 00:32:43,750
So if you blind someone,
it's your responsibility.

549
00:32:43,830 --> 00:32:46,670
Yeah, that's that's basically
what it is, you know?

550
00:32:46,830 --> 00:32:50,630
Um, have you ever had, like, a hook,
like, you do a lot of festivals and,

551
00:32:50,630 --> 00:32:53,550
uh, you know, you're just,
you know, vibing at night?

552
00:32:53,590 --> 00:32:57,550
Has you have you ever just, like,
freak someone out on in a ten or,

553
00:32:57,590 --> 00:33:02,070
like, a spun out fucking hook,
just like. Dude a million times.

554
00:33:02,110 --> 00:33:05,990
Over there. And you know what.
What what what?

555
00:33:06,030 --> 00:33:10,110
Which one was the the best?
Like, oh my God, freaked out. Dude.

556
00:33:10,110 --> 00:33:12,910
It happened every it happens
every day and I love it.

557
00:33:12,950 --> 00:33:15,790
I it feels so good.
You know, it sometimes it feels

558
00:33:15,790 --> 00:33:19,790
good to scare people. Um, you.
Know that. You're. A big person.

559
00:33:19,830 --> 00:33:23,430
It's just like, oh, you know,
like. And they're like, Holy crap.

560
00:33:23,430 --> 00:33:27,260
Um, well, when I started out, um,
you know, I didn't have the glasses.

561
00:33:27,260 --> 00:33:29,060
This is why I wore the glasses.
That bandana.

562
00:33:29,340 --> 00:33:34,260
Because I was much scarier back then,
and I would make, I mean,

563
00:33:34,260 --> 00:33:38,020
literally make babies cry.
Um, I'd be going through these towns,

564
00:33:38,020 --> 00:33:40,100
and, you know,
the old ladies would look at me like,

565
00:33:40,100 --> 00:33:43,340
I'm like the devil, you know,
like, oh, you know what I mean?

566
00:33:43,340 --> 00:33:48,060
And it's like, yeah, that didn't feel
very good. Um, but. You ever been.

567
00:33:48,100 --> 00:33:50,540
So you've always felt you're
misunderstood. Yeah.

568
00:33:50,540 --> 00:33:52,100
For a long time,
you've been friendly your whole life.

569
00:33:52,100 --> 00:33:54,260
You never killed someone by accident.
That's right, that's right.

570
00:33:54,300 --> 00:34:01,300
Really? Never by accident.
Has anyone tried to kill you?

571
00:34:02,020 --> 00:34:04,900
Um. It's like this all the time.
They're like, oh,

572
00:34:04,940 --> 00:34:08,340
what about hunters? What about what?
About getting hunted by big.

573
00:34:08,380 --> 00:34:12,260
You know, I,
I am the danger as Breaking Bad,

574
00:34:12,260 --> 00:34:14,620
so you know what I'm saying?
So I'm the. I'm the hunter.

575
00:34:14,660 --> 00:34:17,260
You know what I mean?
Ask about the hunter.

576
00:34:17,340 --> 00:34:19,780
That's what I'm saying. Yeah.
Be careful in these, like, uh,

577
00:34:19,820 --> 00:34:23,740
you know, these, uh,
racist towns, too. Yeah.

578
00:34:23,740 --> 00:34:27,060
But again,
I feel I feel like I'm good.

579
00:34:27,100 --> 00:34:29,580
I feel I've got a lot of, like,
body on me.

580
00:34:29,620 --> 00:34:32,980
You know, if I get shot, I'm like,
I'm. I'm not even I fucking.

581
00:34:33,420 --> 00:34:35,740
I'm not even afraid of, like,
death anymore.

582
00:34:35,780 --> 00:34:41,100
Why aren't you afraid of death? Um.
Just because if that's how I go,

583
00:34:41,100 --> 00:34:44,980
that's how I go. You know.
That's that's that's actually

584
00:34:44,980 --> 00:34:52,860
fucking poetic, dude. Holy shit.
Sasquatch. Full of knowledge.

585
00:34:52,980 --> 00:34:56,500
Um, go back to, uh, promoting shows.
How how how did you do it?

586
00:34:56,540 --> 00:34:59,660
How how are you doing it?
Uh, I heard, uh, girlfriend was

587
00:34:59,660 --> 00:35:04,020
saying, like, you'd call, like the
fire departments and shit. Oh, yeah.

588
00:35:04,060 --> 00:35:08,100
Well, well, you know, I, I love,
I love sales and stuff, and I love

589
00:35:08,140 --> 00:35:11,260
trying to think outside the box.
Yeah, we're trying to, like, we're

590
00:35:11,260 --> 00:35:13,820
trying to scale it up because we.
Because I think that we have

591
00:35:13,820 --> 00:35:16,260
something that's really good,
you know, and we're getting

592
00:35:16,300 --> 00:35:19,060
we're helping so many people.
We're doing fundraisers for like

593
00:35:19,100 --> 00:35:22,250
charities and stuff. We're kind of.
Making, you know, we're getting.

594
00:35:22,290 --> 00:35:25,010
We're building a team and a crew.
We're employing, like,

595
00:35:25,050 --> 00:35:28,970
a visual artist and, um, and,
you know, other people and

596
00:35:28,970 --> 00:35:33,010
artists of all types on the team.
Uh, and so now it's time to scale

597
00:35:33,010 --> 00:35:34,890
it up. You know what I mean?
Let's scale it up.

598
00:35:34,890 --> 00:35:38,330
And and to me, the the show is a
lot about the audience.

599
00:35:38,570 --> 00:35:41,770
You know, when the audience is
screaming so loud that you feel it in

600
00:35:41,770 --> 00:35:44,730
your bones does not feel so good.
Oh, it's the best.

601
00:35:44,770 --> 00:35:46,850
Aren't you just like, wow,
I feel so good.

602
00:35:46,850 --> 00:35:50,010
And it feels good for the crowd too,
because they're like, when I if

603
00:35:50,010 --> 00:35:54,130
you go to a show, you don't want
the crowd to be dead. No, no, no.

604
00:35:54,130 --> 00:35:56,930
If you were at a show watching
someone on stage, you would want the

605
00:35:56,930 --> 00:36:00,690
crowd to be going wild. Yeah. Yeah.
Because it's awesome to be a

606
00:36:00,690 --> 00:36:04,730
part of that. Um. So, uh.
Yeah, I've been on a big Oasis kick

607
00:36:04,730 --> 00:36:07,570
right now. I'm like, really deep.
It's like my favorite thing.

608
00:36:07,610 --> 00:36:10,850
I'm going to see Oasis in September.
Congrats. Thanks, dude.

609
00:36:10,890 --> 00:36:13,210
I can't wait. I'm going to New York.
Um,

610
00:36:13,490 --> 00:36:17,170
if anyone's in town September 1st.
Um, I'll be in New York for a week.

611
00:36:17,210 --> 00:36:22,320
Uh, let's hang out.
Um, but I But he he, uh, Gallagher

612
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:27,120
had this saying there's like, this
moment where you're completely still

613
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:32,240
and there's chaos all around you.
And that's the moment he feels

614
00:36:32,240 --> 00:36:34,520
more the most alive.
Because, you know,

615
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:38,440
we're fucking we're energy builders.
And for us to, like,

616
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:43,520
take a step back completely,
completely still and see what

617
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:46,840
you what ripples you've made.
And I think that that gives me a

618
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:50,040
hard on. Wow. Pretty crazy right?
I love. That.

619
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:53,880
I love that because somebody's got
to be the the the not the chaos.

620
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,480
But somebody's got to be the volume
and the intuition, you know?

621
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,960
And so it's like, where's it you
know. Where's it coming. From?

622
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:01,920
Energy. Yeah. Where is it?
I mean, it has to come from

623
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:05,880
something. And it's us, right?
Yeah, yeah. So you tell me.

624
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:08,920
So what was the most random,
like, company?

625
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:11,640
You called to come to this show
and they actually showed up?

626
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:14,440
Um, yeah,
the fire department in New York City.

627
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:17,160
Oh, your girlfriend called the fire
department in New York City. Yeah.

628
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:20,960
Emailed, emailed,
and I think 40 or 40 or 50 of them.

629
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:25,720
Not the fuck out.
Dude, your girlfriend is a badass.

630
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:31,400
Yeah. You got lucky. Yeah.
I mean, is there a lot of sasquatches

631
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:34,680
out there like to pick from,
or did you just, like, got lucky

632
00:37:34,720 --> 00:37:38,720
you found one. I got so lucky, man.
How'd you meet? We met.

633
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:43,360
Actually, I was I was at a rave.
True story. I was at a rave.

634
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:47,920
I was checking out a possible
opener for my tour, and, um.

635
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:50,720
And there was a chess board at
the rave.

636
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:53,040
It was this awesome spot called
The Fruit in Durham.

637
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:55,960
Uh, and I went up to someone.
I was like, hey,

638
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:57,280
do you want to play chess?
Like,

639
00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:00,160
I'm waiting for the show to start.
And they were like, well,

640
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:03,000
I don't play chess,
but let me go ask my friend group.

641
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:04,760
Uh,
I got in touch with the friend group.

642
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:08,040
They were huge fans, it turns out.
So I was like, oh, this is so sick.

643
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:11,560
And then, um, a couple of weeks
later, one of them texted me and

644
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,120
was like, hey, I think I got a girl
that would be perfect for you.

645
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:18,520
Her name's Thick Foot.
And I was like, let's go, you know?

646
00:38:18,630 --> 00:38:21,230
And you know,
we hit it off ever since, you know.

647
00:38:21,310 --> 00:38:24,310
Do you have, like, a hygiene?
Do you shower? Yeah. Yeah.

648
00:38:24,350 --> 00:38:26,790
I, uh, make sure. How do you.
How do you get into a shower?

649
00:38:26,830 --> 00:38:30,030
I mean, you're fucking huge.
I know, man, it don't even don't

650
00:38:30,030 --> 00:38:35,310
even. It's it's a lot to get.
What type of porn do you watch? Um.

651
00:38:35,350 --> 00:38:37,590
You know, I've been, you know,
I don't know.

652
00:38:37,590 --> 00:38:41,630
If you, like, beat off to, like, uh,
just human porn or, like, what do

653
00:38:41,630 --> 00:38:43,830
you do? Like what? How do you get.
How do you get your rocks off?

654
00:38:43,830 --> 00:38:46,910
I'm like, do you use my imagination,
man? You know, sick.

655
00:38:46,950 --> 00:38:49,990
That's the way to do it. You know.
I gotta start doing that.

656
00:38:50,030 --> 00:38:52,190
And that's how I remember.
Remember the old days.

657
00:38:52,310 --> 00:38:57,190
Just close your eyes and just fucking
jerk one out. Just imagine. Whatever.

658
00:38:57,230 --> 00:39:02,430
Yeah. Just imagine. Whatever. Yeah.
Oh, man. What a fucking life. Um.

659
00:39:02,430 --> 00:39:04,830
So what are what's what's next?
Like, what are you, like,

660
00:39:04,830 --> 00:39:08,990
when you're picturing your
vision board for the next year?

661
00:39:08,990 --> 00:39:12,670
Five years? What? What's on it?
Oh, that's a great question.

662
00:39:12,670 --> 00:39:16,590
Well, um.
Uh, well, you know, I've never

663
00:39:16,590 --> 00:39:19,380
played Jam Cruise. I would be sick.
Oh, I'll get you on that.

664
00:39:19,420 --> 00:39:22,660
Um, yeah. And.
Annabelle, you listen to this

665
00:39:22,660 --> 00:39:25,860
podcast, get Sasquatch on the
fucking jam cruise. Come on.

666
00:39:25,900 --> 00:39:30,660
Yeah, yeah. No, I love Annabelle.
Yeah, yeah. So I'd love to do that.

667
00:39:30,700 --> 00:39:33,060
Uh, red rocks, I would.
I really want to play red.

668
00:39:33,100 --> 00:39:37,260
We sold out Cervantes ballroom.
Really? Yeah. That was. And cap.

669
00:39:37,380 --> 00:39:41,060
Isn't Scott great?
Yeah, yeah, it was, it was.

670
00:39:41,180 --> 00:39:43,540
It was so awesome.
So I'm hoping that somebody will

671
00:39:43,540 --> 00:39:45,380
be like.
You'll come open and come open

672
00:39:45,380 --> 00:39:47,780
for us at Red rocks.
That would be sick. The gorge.

673
00:39:47,780 --> 00:39:49,900
These are all squashy places,
you know. Yeah.

674
00:39:49,900 --> 00:39:53,020
What's your dream venue for this
show to happen at?

675
00:39:53,540 --> 00:39:56,380
I mean, I've never been to the
Gorge in my life, so.

676
00:39:56,540 --> 00:39:59,700
Dude, that's like you. That is.
You written all over it.

677
00:39:59,740 --> 00:40:03,060
It's so big, though.
Well, yeah, maybe Dave will.

678
00:40:03,100 --> 00:40:05,180
Dave Matthews will put you up on
a gorgeous.

679
00:40:06,140 --> 00:40:08,220
Yeah, well,
I'm liking the electronic scene.

680
00:40:08,260 --> 00:40:11,700
Would you join a band? Would you?
What if Dave Matthews said Sasquatch?

681
00:40:12,260 --> 00:40:13,860
I really like what you're
putting down here.

682
00:40:14,460 --> 00:40:17,300
Would you like to join Dave
Matthews Band? Would you do it? Uh.

683
00:40:17,340 --> 00:40:22,340
Probably not. Why not? But, um.
Well, Jeff Cochran, first of all,

684
00:40:22,540 --> 00:40:26,140
saxophone player is incredible.
Um, I saw his saxophone. Yeah.

685
00:40:26,180 --> 00:40:29,460
Fuck that guy. That's all I know.
Jeff Kaufman, if you're listening,

686
00:40:29,460 --> 00:40:32,980
I saw your saxophone in the in the
Rock n Roll History Museum the

687
00:40:32,980 --> 00:40:36,420
other day in Cleveland. Really?
Did you go? Yeah, yeah. I was sick.

688
00:40:36,460 --> 00:40:38,980
Did they, like,
they parade you around?

689
00:40:39,020 --> 00:40:41,900
Yeah, they they got they got us
in and everything. It was.

690
00:40:41,940 --> 00:40:45,060
It was awesome.
Um, but I love doing my own thing,

691
00:40:45,100 --> 00:40:47,860
man. I love making my own music.
I know I hear. You, you know?

692
00:40:47,900 --> 00:40:50,340
And then you've been in the pit
of your whole fucking life.

693
00:40:50,380 --> 00:40:55,020
Why would you join something?
Well, yeah, well, I would.

694
00:40:55,020 --> 00:40:56,940
I would love to be a part of
anything, but I won't be.

695
00:40:56,940 --> 00:41:00,700
I wouldn't be able to dedicate
my whole, uh, creative energy

696
00:41:00,700 --> 00:41:03,860
towards something else.
I think, oh, well, just because

697
00:41:03,860 --> 00:41:08,340
I think that I would do a better
job of my goal of helping people

698
00:41:08,340 --> 00:41:10,860
to do it right. Do it myself.
You know,

699
00:41:10,900 --> 00:41:15,770
because I've kind of had this vision
or whatever for a while. Wow.

700
00:41:16,370 --> 00:41:19,330
You know, I wouldn't want to give up
on it, but you know what I'm saying?

701
00:41:19,410 --> 00:41:23,210
I hear you, man. What's your dream?
Like, what's the ultimate dream?

702
00:41:23,250 --> 00:41:25,610
Like, what is your ultimate dream?
Do you want a Grammy?

703
00:41:25,650 --> 00:41:29,890
Do you want just peace and
harmony in the valley or what?

704
00:41:29,930 --> 00:41:32,970
What's your ultimate dream?
I'm ready. For this. I'm ready.

705
00:41:33,010 --> 00:41:39,330
I'm fucking living it, dawg. Me too.
Brother. Me fucking too, big daddy.

706
00:41:40,770 --> 00:41:42,770
Yeah you are.
What more could you want?

707
00:41:42,810 --> 00:41:45,450
Like just riding in a minivan
with your girlfriend.

708
00:41:45,450 --> 00:41:48,850
Just fucking show the show.
Yeah. Got your in there.

709
00:41:48,890 --> 00:41:52,490
Even if we hide all the money,
fame, whatever in the world.

710
00:41:52,530 --> 00:41:55,970
Um, how much different would you
honestly want things to be?

711
00:41:56,010 --> 00:41:58,730
Yeah. That's true.
Like a bigger house. Like.

712
00:41:58,770 --> 00:42:04,010
Oh, now you have to walk more. Yeah.
You know, uh, you know, more money

713
00:42:04,050 --> 00:42:06,770
now you gotta account for more.
You know, you gotta pay more taxes.

714
00:42:06,810 --> 00:42:09,970
You know, it's just like, more more
money. No problem kind of thing.

715
00:42:10,250 --> 00:42:12,010
Um, you know, and you know that,
you know,

716
00:42:12,010 --> 00:42:15,640
that song on TikTok that's like.
I think I like this little life.

717
00:42:15,720 --> 00:42:20,320
Yeah, I love that.
Oh, that's so cute.

718
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:22,080
I think about that too.
I'm like,

719
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:25,480
how what is what is the deal with me?
You know, like,

720
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:29,960
I have this big house and I,
you know, I'm not trying to brag,

721
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:34,480
I, but I only I sleep in the
living room on the couch.

722
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:38,640
Still, I don't go upstairs to my
beautiful bedroom.

723
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:41,800
You know, I do not do that.
Every time I'm home,

724
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:45,520
I'm more comfortable on the couch.
I should just get a fucking one

725
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:50,720
bedroom and fucking call it a day.
You know, not this fucking exotic

726
00:42:50,720 --> 00:42:54,040
man cave I have right now.
It's like. What? What is that?

727
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:58,800
We don't need that much things. It's.
I think, uh, how much you have

728
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:03,280
in your backpack is how, um,
how free you're going to be if you

729
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:06,200
don't have a lot in your backpack,
you're not going to be free.

730
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:08,640
Or if you don't have a lot in
the backpack, you are going to

731
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:12,160
be free if you have all these
things holding you down, um,

732
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:15,960
I think you're going to be more
inclined to just stay in one place.

733
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:19,080
And I don't know about you, but I.
I've never wanted to just stay in

734
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:23,440
one place. I want to keep evolving.
Yeah, that's so true.

735
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:26,080
And imagine this.
I think this is also the dream.

736
00:43:26,240 --> 00:43:29,560
Equal Rights National Forest is
everywhere.

737
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:33,880
I know what the fuck. Parks?
Um, how are you feeling about

738
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:37,440
Trump or just fucking trying to
kill all these sasquatches?

739
00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:40,920
Oh, I mean, I you know,
I never get political, but you can

740
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:46,560
tell what political side I'm on.
I hear you, brother. Yeah. Yeah.

741
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:50,800
Just by saying that, you can tell me,
um, because I think the dream is for,

742
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:53,280
uh, people who just come together,
you know?

743
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:56,200
But, you know,
what I will say is that I have a

744
00:43:56,200 --> 00:44:00,480
lot of friends who are on the
other opposite political spectrum.

745
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:03,480
And I asked them, I was like,
you know, what is it like?

746
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:07,200
Why, you know, and they just get
different information, you know,

747
00:44:07,240 --> 00:44:08,560
they're still they're still good
people.

748
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:12,270
They're just getting fed
completely different Information.

749
00:44:12,310 --> 00:44:16,190
I know. You are. You are.
You are your Sasquatch family.

750
00:44:16,350 --> 00:44:18,390
Read the news and watch the news
and stuffed.

751
00:44:19,470 --> 00:44:24,350
As much as as much as you have to.
Yeah. You know. Um, because it's all.

752
00:44:24,350 --> 00:44:26,590
It's all a game, you know,
it's all about money.

753
00:44:26,630 --> 00:44:28,990
We were talking about this.
Everything is about money.

754
00:44:28,990 --> 00:44:30,910
At the end of the day,
when you get into the business

755
00:44:30,910 --> 00:44:33,950
side of everything. Bullshit.
It's all about money. It's bullshit.

756
00:44:33,950 --> 00:44:36,430
And and and you start to see
right through it.

757
00:44:36,430 --> 00:44:38,710
You're like, oh, they're just
making money on this, right?

758
00:44:38,710 --> 00:44:43,550
Or like, like, uh, you know, on any
side. It's like just a money game.

759
00:44:43,550 --> 00:44:45,750
I know it's bullshit. Yeah.
What are we gonna do?

760
00:44:46,390 --> 00:44:49,470
Oh, we're gonna make music, bro.
We're gonna fucking keep slaying.

761
00:44:49,510 --> 00:44:51,670
I know, it's crazy.
I mean, I, I think about this all

762
00:44:51,670 --> 00:44:55,070
the time. Do you have to play soon?
Yeah. We're almost. It's, uh.

763
00:44:55,310 --> 00:44:59,310
Uh, 645. Yeah. It depends.
There's, like a thunderstorm, right?

764
00:44:59,350 --> 00:45:01,990
Yeah. We're good, we're good.
I think they're delaying the show.

765
00:45:02,030 --> 00:45:03,990
Yeah, we got, like,
five more minutes. All right. Cool.

766
00:45:04,070 --> 00:45:06,670
Um, this has been a pleasure,
uh, getting to know you.

767
00:45:06,670 --> 00:45:09,750
I mean, we're I would love to tour
with you more if you're down.

768
00:45:09,790 --> 00:45:12,510
Yeah, man.
I think it's a good combo. It.

769
00:45:12,710 --> 00:45:15,710
I think it's a great combo. I was.
That's why I was like, I've been

770
00:45:15,710 --> 00:45:17,990
wanting. Thanks for reaching out.
You reached out to me and said,

771
00:45:17,990 --> 00:45:20,790
hey man, you want to do these shows?
I'm like, fuck yeah, and that.

772
00:45:20,790 --> 00:45:23,510
But that was a long time ago.
And then I came back and hit you

773
00:45:23,510 --> 00:45:27,350
up about these shows. Yeah.
And we reconnected. It's been nice.

774
00:45:27,390 --> 00:45:29,910
Me too. Thanks for good, man.
Thanks for believing in me.

775
00:45:29,950 --> 00:45:32,390
I really like your girlfriend.
I think you two are good, too.

776
00:45:32,430 --> 00:45:37,230
I really like her a lot.
That picture of her, um, with her ass

777
00:45:37,230 --> 00:45:42,670
out and. And the big feet. Yeah.
Is so fucking amazing. And it's so.

778
00:45:42,710 --> 00:45:46,750
She's funny, dude. She's hilarious.
She's hilarious. She's gonna love.

779
00:45:46,750 --> 00:45:52,550
This. Um, a couple things. Um, yeah.
When you have sex back to sex.

780
00:45:52,550 --> 00:45:55,830
Because I'm very. I'm very curious.
I have no libido these days, so I'm

781
00:45:55,830 --> 00:45:59,670
just envious of people just having,
like, animal sex right now. Yeah.

782
00:45:59,710 --> 00:46:04,830
When you moan, you moan like a human
or like a. Oh, what do you do?

783
00:46:05,070 --> 00:46:07,870
How does it how does it come out?
It just needs to be enthusiastic,

784
00:46:07,870 --> 00:46:15,860
I think. Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Have you ever just howled at the

785
00:46:15,860 --> 00:46:19,300
moon? Yeah. Do you howl?
I mean, is that part of your

786
00:46:19,300 --> 00:46:22,380
instinct to howl? Dude?
Can I tell you one time? Yeah.

787
00:46:22,420 --> 00:46:24,940
We were.
We were, you know, banging and stuff,

788
00:46:25,020 --> 00:46:27,780
but it was in Olympic National Park.
Oh my. God.

789
00:46:27,820 --> 00:46:32,820
It was, um, you know, two storey.
And there was this, uh, like,

790
00:46:32,860 --> 00:46:36,060
I don't know, some kind of class
of scientists in the park. Yeah.

791
00:46:36,100 --> 00:46:40,060
And it was maybe 20, 30 people.
Yeah. And it was nighttime.

792
00:46:40,100 --> 00:46:43,780
We were in the woods,
and as soon as we got done,

793
00:46:43,780 --> 00:46:53,580
they all started clapping. Oh.
No way. True story. True story.

794
00:46:53,660 --> 00:46:56,380
Oh, my God, I have that.
I had that same situation.

795
00:46:56,380 --> 00:47:01,300
I was in, um, Boca Raton, Florida,
and it was like 5 a.m. and we were

796
00:47:01,300 --> 00:47:03,620
kind of fucked up and we were like,
let's go to the beach.

797
00:47:03,740 --> 00:47:07,580
We had my dumbass, didn't we go?
You know, like there's all these

798
00:47:07,580 --> 00:47:10,850
entrances to beaches.
Yeah, I just like what?

799
00:47:10,890 --> 00:47:13,610
Because we were kind of drunk
and we just walked.

800
00:47:13,650 --> 00:47:16,170
We just did the entrance and
then we didn't, like,

801
00:47:16,210 --> 00:47:19,570
go to the left or go to the right.
So we were on the beaten path to the

802
00:47:19,610 --> 00:47:23,730
beach and we were just having sex.
I'm just like kind of missionary

803
00:47:23,810 --> 00:47:25,970
and my asses out.
And all of a sudden, like,

804
00:47:25,970 --> 00:47:28,650
it was kind of dark, but the sun was
starting to come out and all of a

805
00:47:28,650 --> 00:47:31,570
sudden the sun starts coming out.
I realize there's people everywhere

806
00:47:31,570 --> 00:47:34,330
with their dogs dancing on,
like they're probably like,

807
00:47:34,370 --> 00:47:37,450
get the fuck away from this.
Like what is going on?

808
00:47:37,450 --> 00:47:41,290
And my Boca Raton billion dollar
fucking community and I'm

809
00:47:41,290 --> 00:47:43,810
howling and stuff.
It was it felt free,

810
00:47:43,810 --> 00:47:46,970
though I never I've always been
afraid to have sex in public.

811
00:47:46,970 --> 00:47:50,010
I'm not like a public sector.
Yeah. You know.

812
00:47:50,050 --> 00:47:54,810
Yeah, it kind of felt free to just
like, have sex in the fucking on

813
00:47:54,810 --> 00:47:59,770
a beach or just not care.
How hard is it for you to not care?

814
00:48:00,450 --> 00:48:04,370
Um, it's it's it's tough, but it
depends on, like, how good it is,

815
00:48:04,410 --> 00:48:11,090
you know. Or just in general sex.
Yeah, Hell, yeah. Let's go.

816
00:48:11,610 --> 00:48:14,770
I mean, you said it all.
I mean, I feel like, um,

817
00:48:14,890 --> 00:48:19,930
we we learned a little bit about, um,
the life that is Sasquatch before.

818
00:48:19,970 --> 00:48:22,490
I mean, I didn't know you had a
drug addiction. It's pretty crazy.

819
00:48:22,650 --> 00:48:25,090
And I'm glad you got through that.
And I know that's serious.

820
00:48:25,090 --> 00:48:27,970
I know that's real.
I could hear it in your voice, and

821
00:48:27,970 --> 00:48:31,330
now you're you. You took that chaos.
You turn into harmony.

822
00:48:31,330 --> 00:48:33,770
Now you're selling out shows all
around the country.

823
00:48:34,010 --> 00:48:37,410
Um, my last question to you is,
when it's all said and done,

824
00:48:37,410 --> 00:48:41,210
what do you want to be remembered by?
Well, that's a good question.

825
00:48:42,130 --> 00:48:46,010
I want to be remembered by, uh,
bringing people together. Yeah.

826
00:48:46,130 --> 00:48:48,810
Yeah, I love that.
That's the thing is. Yeah.

827
00:48:48,850 --> 00:48:52,650
Getting people to feel good.
Yeah, I love it. Yeah.

828
00:48:52,770 --> 00:48:54,490
Well, ladies and gentlemen,
that was Sasquatch.

829
00:48:54,530 --> 00:48:56,490
Thanks for being on the show,
buddy. Let's go.

830
00:48:56,530 --> 00:48:58,330
Uh,
let's go kick ass in Philadelphia.

831
00:48:58,890 --> 00:49:02,490
We're in the suburbs, but we'll
still call Philadelphia. Yeah.

832
00:49:02,810 --> 00:49:04,410
Fuck, yeah. Thanks, bud. Thanks.
