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

Um, so shout out to Richie for

00:02:18,350 --> 00:02:21,910

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,

131
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,720
thanks for always believing in us.
Because we believe in you.

132
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:51,640
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.
