• 3:56
  Um, every show has been sold out, mostly, and I just you guys are
• 4:01
  coming out and you're supporting and you're buying merch, and you're just
• 4:04
  telling us your stories of how this new record means so much to you guys.
• 4:08
  And I can't thank you enough from the bottom of my heart.
• 4:11
  Thank you, thank you, thank you. Because like I said,
• 4:14
  we're in this together and you know how hard this band's work.
• 4:17
  And you guys being there and being there early and showing us your love,
• 4:21
  it's it's gonna make me cry. So I love you guys so much.
• 4:25
  And thank you so much for just doing it and believing in us.
• 4:29
  Um, but. Yeah. And then, but, uh,
• 4:31
  this episode is really a fun one. I have, uh, Sasquatch on the show.
• 4:35
  Yes, a real life Sasquatch is on the show. I guarantee you guys.
• 4:40
  Really for real? You have to, uh, you should watch
• 4:43
  this one on YouTube or on volume. Com, because it's a real fucking
• 4:50
  Sasquatch. And he's just. He tells us his story.
• 4:54
  I mean, He's not bullshitting about this shit. He has.
• 4:58
  He was addicted to drugs, you know. That's not me. That's not made up.
• 5:01
  And, uh, you know, um, we kept his voice, uh, in a lowered.
• 5:08
  So you don't know who it is because it is Sasquatch,
• 5:11
  and he deserves his privacy, too. But he was getting deep about
• 5:13
  his drug addiction. He's got a new girlfriend.
• 5:16
  He's had a sasquatch. Has a kid now, baby. Squatch.
• 5:20
  My god damn, this man is living the dream.
• 5:23
  Just traveling this, uh, minivan. Just all around gig to gig,
• 5:28
  I wonder how. Air conditioner must work really
• 5:31
  well. Because if you're if you're. You're a Sasquatch.
• 5:33
  All that hair and shit gotta be fucking. Just sweaty all the time.
• 5:37
  Got it. And he's probably just got. He can't keep the hygiene that good.
• 5:40
  Just doing that. But, you know, good on him.
• 5:45
  But you're gonna love this man. You play saxophone.
• 5:48
  He's he's a great, great producer. He's blowing up in the scene I mean,
• 5:55
  he went solo and and it's working. So I think gonna really love
• 5:59
  this interview. Um, but like I said, enjoy that.
• 6:03
  But like I said before, we're gonna have anxiety.
• 6:06
  We're gonna have, uh, some days we're just depressed.
• 6:09
  Some days we're beat up. Gotta keep your head up and say
• 6:13
  tomorrow's gonna be a better day. And if we keep on saying
• 6:15
  tomorrow's gonna be a better day. Then it forces us to have a
• 6:18
  better day. If we say tomorrow's going to be
• 6:20
  shitty. Oh, look at me. Pity me. That why is everything happened
• 6:24
  to me all this bad shit? You're gonna keep on having bad luck.
• 6:27
  But if you say not today, devil, we're gonna get through this.
• 6:31
  And tomorrow's. Even if today fucking sucked.
• 6:33
  Even if today's sucked, tomorrow is gonna be better.
• 6:36
  That's all we could do is try to be better every single day.
• 6:39
  And if we could do that, then we could get through any
• 6:41
  depression and anxiety. You know, even if tomorrow does suck
• 6:45
  and it might, that's okay unless you try to give it a good day.
• 6:50
  And that's all we could dear for. And that's what me and Sasquatch
• 6:53
  talks about trying each day to take away the chaos and add harmony.
• 7:00
  All right. Enjoy Sasquatch interview,
• 7:02
  and I'll see you next week. Uh, what's going on next week?
• 7:06
  Yes, I think I'm with Nick. I, I fly home.
• 7:09
  No, I don't, I have one more week of tour. Fuck.
• 7:12
  Um, we'll do an archive episode. I'll put out a old episode that,
• 7:16
  uh, that you guys, uh, that, uh, you guys liked, and we could do,
• 7:20
  uh, the world saving archives for next week,
• 7:22
  but instead of taking a week off. Well, maybe I'll just put out an
• 7:26
  interview that I just interviewed somebody, and I didn't really wasn't
• 7:30
  really a popular person, but I thought it was a good interview,
• 7:32
  and maybe I'll put that one out. All right, guys, enjoy, Sasquatch.
• 7:37
  Enjoy your day, enjoy your week. And, uh, thanks for, uh,
• 7:41
  thanks for always believing in us. Because we believe in you.
• 7:43
  All right. Love you. Bye. Wow. On location, a secret location.
• 7:51
  Because they don't want to know where he is right now.
• 7:54
  This man has been. In what? The woods. Yeah. The woods, you know.
• 8:02
  Um, but the weather's been crazy, so, um, you know,
• 8:07
  I'm in and out of everywhere. I'm everywhere. I know it's crazy.
• 8:10
  You have a crazy life I'd love to talk to.
• 8:12
  Tell our fans, listeners about ladies down.
• 8:14
  We have Sasquatch on the show today. How are we. Doing?
• 8:20
  I'm doing pretty good. Amazing. Yo. I mean,
• 8:23
  it feels like your career is really starting to take off his last year.
• 8:26
  What have you been doing? Thanks. Uh, you know, we've just been
• 8:30
  making music, I guess. Um, I think that's the thing that's
• 8:34
  most important is the music. Yeah. Yeah, totally. Yeah, it's.
• 8:40
  It's crazy even seeing you in person. I know, you guys.
• 8:43
  You're opening for us in this next couple of days.
• 8:45
  So I was like, I had to get him on the podcast.
• 8:47
  We still don't know where he came from.
• 8:50
  Give us a little bit of your origin story.
• 8:52
  Like how why did you decide to finally come out and like.
• 8:55
  I don't know. Hang out with humans. Yeah.
• 8:58
  Well, you know, I come from a musical family.
• 9:00
  My grandfather Bigfoot and my sister Bigfoot. But, um. Yeah.
• 9:05
  You know, there was actually a lot of hesitation for me going
• 9:09
  out to do shows. Literally everyone was like,
• 9:12
  you know, you're a fucking idiot, you know?
• 9:14
  And, like, nobody's gonna believe in you. You're a joke.
• 9:20
  You know, and my whole life, you know, no one's ever really believed
• 9:24
  in me and finally just had enough. You know, and I think that's.
• 9:29
  I had enough. And I'm just like, I gotta do this.
• 9:31
  You know, if I end up in the corner of a bar somewhere at the end of my
• 9:35
  life. Yeah, I'll be happy with that. They say a lot of, uh, you know,
• 9:39
  family trauma fuels, um, work ethic and stuff, so maybe.
• 9:44
  Well, that's deep. Yeah. Well, I'm just like, it's.
• 9:47
  I'm very curious about the whole. The whole thing.
• 9:51
  Like, why did you decide to play the saxophone?
• 9:53
  Why did you decide to like. Because it's very.
• 9:56
  You're you're putting yourself in a dangerous spot.
• 9:57
  People have been trying to find you for a long time.
• 10:00
  That's a great question. Um, the saxophone is when I
• 10:05
  heard it for the first time. It's like such a primal instrument,
• 10:09
  you know? It's like. It's like a wild animal. Yeah.
• 10:13
  And, um, when it's played. Right,
• 10:15
  I heard it played by a junior walker. Um. And I was like, Holy crap.
• 10:21
  Like, this is what I gotta do. I got a saxophone and just
• 10:25
  became obsessed with it. You know, like,
• 10:27
  you ever just become totally obsessed and you just make something.
• 10:31
  Your whole personality. Yeah, yeah. Drinking. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 10:38
  Well, you got a good personality. I think anybody underneath that.
• 10:41
  Thanks. Yeah. Yeah. It's a I don't know.
• 10:43
  Sometimes we cope things. You know, it's like the same thing
• 10:46
  with your parents not accepting you. Right? Yeah.
• 10:49
  So we cope it and say like I could prove them wrong, right?
• 10:52
  Yeah. Proving people wrong. Yeah. Who wouldn't?
• 10:55
  Who would have known that would be such a good fuel?
• 10:58
  Or in your case, you've been proving people right that you exist.
• 11:01
  Yeah. Or some people. Yeah, right. Some people.
• 11:04
  Because there are people who believe. And that's what I found out,
• 11:07
  actually, is that there are people who believe. Okay. You know. Like.
• 11:12
  Who? Like they're everywhere. You know, I've been playing these big
• 11:14
  foot festivals all over the country. And I found out that in the United
• 11:18
  States, about 20 to 30 people, 30% of people believe in Bigfoot.
• 11:23
  That's fucking crazy. That's a giant. No, that's that's tens of
• 11:27
  millions of people. Yeah. Um, and that feels really good.
• 11:30
  I had no idea, um, that even that market was there,
• 11:34
  and it's very interesting market, you know? Yeah.
• 11:36
  Bigfoot was like the culture in the US was really big in the 70s.
• 11:40
  And so a lot of the women that are still alive from the 70s are
• 11:45
  the ones like DNA. Me like all this stuff, like.
• 11:47
  Oh, so you got, like, a big, like, menopausal fan base?
• 11:50
  Um, at first. Yes. At first, um, that was like the first
• 11:55
  fan base, you know? Yeah. Yeah. Because in the 70s, it was like,
• 11:59
  um. Oh, Bigfoot had my baby. Like, check out my babies
• 12:02
  covered in hair, you know? How old are you? Sasquatch?
• 12:05
  Oh, 31. Just had my birthday. Oh, happy birthday buddy. Yeah.
• 12:08
  Thanks so much. What? I'm. I'm just very curious.
• 12:11
  Like, tell me about you have a tour manager. Like, how do you travel?
• 12:15
  I mean, you're kind of a big thing. What are you traveling?
• 12:18
  Chevy express. You travel in a Chevy Express?
• 12:21
  Chevy, baby. Yes. Yeah. Do people just see you on the
• 12:24
  road and be like, what the fuck? Who is it?
• 12:27
  I have a license plate that says Sasquatch. Actually, really?
• 12:30
  It's kind of vain. Whatever, I like it.
• 12:33
  You know, and it's not like a it's not like a glorious van.
• 12:36
  It's not like I'm flexing too hard or anything.
• 12:38
  Have you had any past gigs before you went solo? Um. You know, not really.
• 12:44
  Um, the Sasquatch name kind of just came about due to a nickname,
• 12:51
  because I'm a Sasquatch who became obsessed with the saxophone.
• 12:55
  And so it was kind of like, shut up, Sasquatch, you know?
• 13:00
  Have you ever, like, taken any, like, psychedelics?
• 13:02
  Yeah, I have a face, for sure. I had a face for sure.
• 13:05
  Like what? What were you taking? Uh, anything that.
• 13:09
  Anything you got, bro? Um, yeah. Anything you got?
• 13:13
  I would be freaked out if I saw a fucking Sasquatch on cocaine. Yeah.
• 13:18
  You were. Did you take cocaine? Yeah. Yeah. But, um. What were you like?
• 13:22
  Were you people scared of you? I'm already like,
• 13:24
  you're sober now. And I'm scared. Yeah, yeah, I don't anymore.
• 13:27
  But, um, I have to say it. It was like I didn't do it.
• 13:32
  I think, like other people did it, you know, it was more.
• 13:34
  It was kind of sad. Why? Why how are you doing it?
• 13:37
  It's just kind of sad. You know, the party's over and
• 13:40
  I'm somewhere else. You know, it's five, 6 a.m.,
• 13:43
  you know what I'm saying? And. And it's, you know,
• 13:45
  we're when the back of a U-Haul. You know what I mean?
• 13:47
  Just howling at the moon. Yeah. Outside the gas station?
• 13:50
  Yeah, exactly. Really? You're that into coke?
• 13:52
  I mean, I mean, uh. Can we talk about that?
• 13:57
  What do you think triggered you having such a bad drug addiction?
• 14:00
  Well, you never know. Addictions are a complex topic.
• 14:05
  You know. Yeah. Um, I've been I've been sober for
• 14:08
  about 13 years. Oh, wow. Yeah. So it's it's been an amazing journey.
• 14:14
  I think, honestly, like, um, I think I was just seeking
• 14:18
  something kind of spiritual. You know what I'm saying? Yeah.
• 14:20
  Um, and so I try to make the music kind of a spiritual experience.
• 14:26
  Yeah. The shows. So you're. What got you into drugs?
• 14:30
  Like what was. Why did you start doing a bunch
• 14:33
  of blowing? Uh, I, I don't know,
• 14:36
  I was just strong. I was just different than than
• 14:38
  other sasquatches. I bet you know, I you never know why.
• 14:43
  It's just one day you go, wow, I'm gonna I'm gonna do that.
• 14:46
  Some some people, like, do you get talkative on blow? Do you get sad?
• 14:50
  Like, what's your like, what's your blow take?
• 14:53
  Um, I get, uh, quiet and I look for stuff that I can sell.
• 15:04
  Shut the fuck up. What was the craziest thing you
• 15:07
  sold on cocaine? Oh, one of my saxophones, man.
• 15:10
  No way. Yeah. Were you? Why'd you do that?
• 15:14
  You wanted more coke or, like. Yeah, it got that bad. Yeah.
• 15:18
  I mean, that's it's it's real for. It's real, man. Yeah.
• 15:21
  I mean, I wouldn't have gotten I wouldn't have gotten clean if it
• 15:24
  wasn't, uh, if it wasn't a problem, I guess so. Wait. Hold on.
• 15:27
  So you sold your. When you. Okay,
• 15:29
  so what time did you sell your sex? Like,
• 15:31
  give me the whole story of that. That probably like,
• 15:33
  that was probably the last day you got sober then, right? Uh, no.
• 15:37
  Um, no, but it definitely hurt. You know, I was just it was just.
• 15:42
  It's definitely a moment when you're like of clarity, when you're like,
• 15:45
  oh, I'm not in control here. You know what I'm saying?
• 15:48
  Oh, man. Yeah. In the back of a U-Haul,
• 15:51
  you just be ripping. Blow. Yeah. Holy shit. Man. I'm sorry man.
• 15:57
  Hey, bro, life is good today, though. I know, but, like, so, like,
• 16:01
  maybe that's what the music kind of saved your life.
• 16:05
  Um, it's, again, it's hard to say because, um. When.
• 16:10
  I mean, we're talking about getting clean, you know what I'm saying?
• 16:13
  And and that's a really complex topic.
• 16:15
  But I felt like I had to actually put my music to side to the side for a
• 16:19
  second and find out who I was. Yeah. Um, a huge identity crisis, you know,
• 16:24
  because it was so wrapped up into the music at the time. Yeah.
• 16:27
  This was 15 years ago. Yeah, yeah. Um, yeah. To have to relearn music.
• 16:32
  Almost just because I didn't know how to be inspired, you know what I mean?
• 16:36
  Like, authentically. Because my whole life was wrapped
• 16:39
  around, uh, kind of chasing dopamine and like almost that's almost
• 16:44
  how I created music at the time. 50 years ago, 15 years ago,
• 16:47
  I was like, oh, what's the dopamine release here?
• 16:50
  What's it going to be like for the person listening, you know? Right.
• 16:53
  And um, and now it's much more about like, uh, connection on a,
• 16:58
  on a, on a, on a human level, you know what I mean?
• 17:02
  Um, you know, life's not all dopamine, you know what I'm saying?
• 17:07
  No, I mean, that's what. That's why I had to, like, slow
• 17:09
  down taking drugs, like, I didn't. I didn't like having to, like, shovel
• 17:15
  back the dopamine from the morning because I fucking wasted it all.
• 17:18
  Like, I've been taking less and less cocaine lately, and, um, I feel
• 17:25
  my dopamine slowly coming back. I see a lot of people that I
• 17:28
  hang out with. Uh, I just do blow all the time.
• 17:32
  And they're like, the mornings they don't have any dopamine, so,
• 17:36
  like, they're happy when they got that fix, and then in the
• 17:38
  morning they can't fucking pull themselves out of bed and they
• 17:42
  think the world's against them. I think the dopamine thing is
• 17:47
  important. You can't just process dopamine
• 17:49
  your whole life. You need to find a way to have
• 17:52
  it come back naturally. If it's music, if it's falling
• 17:55
  in love, if it's having a hobby, something, find something that
• 18:02
  keeps the dopamine so you're not relying on this powder or this
• 18:05
  fucking ecstasy or this weed that to, um, kind of keep you in the
• 18:10
  strain narrow. Right? 1,000,000%. And I started going to therapy,
• 18:14
  and, um. You went to. Therapy? Yeah, I still go to therapy.
• 18:17
  Okay. Hold on. Dude. How do you. How does Sasquatch go to therapy?
• 18:21
  Like, what is this? Sasquatches and humans have a
• 18:24
  lot in common. I know, you know. And so came from y'all. Yeah.
• 18:28
  And one of the things he suggested is because I've been alone for a
• 18:31
  long time, right? Yeah. And so he was like, we gotta learn
• 18:34
  how to be alone without being lonely. Oh, that's so good point. And then.
• 18:39
  And then we got to talking. and that was one of our goals.
• 18:41
  And then he was like, you know, let's talk about finding you some hobbies.
• 18:44
  What are some things that you like, you know.
• 18:46
  And I was like, well, I used to love playing chess when
• 18:48
  I was younger, you know. Yeah. So I got back into playing chess.
• 18:51
  I started playing Yu-Gi-Oh with my dad. You know.
• 18:54
  Fun and, um, and these little things that I can do throughout the day to,
• 18:58
  like, get connection, um, with with something else.
• 19:02
  It's it's it is a spiritual feeling. And I love that stuff.
• 19:05
  And it honestly, it makes creating so much more relevant because to me,
• 19:09
  art is all about context. It's like, would you rather
• 19:13
  would you, would your message rather be chaos or harmony?
• 19:17
  You know, because when I was exactly when I was, when I was
• 19:20
  like using drugs and everything, at the end of the day, the truth
• 19:23
  was that my life was a giant, unmanageable, chaotic mess. Oh, yeah.
• 19:27
  I realized that the minute I started taking control of, uh,
• 19:30
  making my show harmony instead of chaos is the minute we started
• 19:33
  getting more successful, too. Yeah. And and harmony, I think,
• 19:37
  is about, um, like, kind of almost peace, you know?
• 19:41
  Um, and letting life happen and not trying to control everything.
• 19:45
  And that's really hard for, like, musicians. Yeah.
• 19:48
  It's true. I'm telling you. I mean, you're living out of a
• 19:50
  fucking minivan, dude. Yeah, I'm living out of a bus.
• 19:53
  I mean, not even a bus. A bandwagon that's a basically a
• 19:57
  a pop up trailer that just bounces around.
• 20:00
  I mean, we are the 1%, and it's hard to relate with anyone because
• 20:05
  we are the 1% that people try to, like, understand our life.
• 20:09
  Like, I'm glad you found you have a lover. What's her name?
• 20:12
  Thick foot, thick foot. She travels with you, right? Yeah.
• 20:15
  Yeah. She understands you. Yeah. Have you had a kid before? Yeah.
• 20:19
  I, um, we have a almost four year old. Almost four year. Old? Yeah.
• 20:23
  How's that? How is how is it hard? Is it raising a kid in this?
• 20:27
  This is this is such a it's such a big balance having a kid and and
• 20:33
  having to tour, you know? Yeah. How do you do it? We basically.
• 20:36
  I'm touring on the weekends. Um. And, um, it takes a village.
• 20:40
  You know, my folks help out at home and everything.
• 20:43
  What are your parents names again? Um, they're they're just fellow
• 20:47
  sasquatches. I just. Call Mom and. Dad.
• 20:49
  We have Sasquatch language for that. Oh, cool. Um, yeah. And.
• 20:55
  And he's so great. Um. Little squatch. Little squatch.
• 20:58
  That's what he. That's what he goes by.
• 20:59
  That's so. Cute. Yeah, he likes my music, too,
• 21:01
  so he'll make the music with me. Sometimes he.
• 21:04
  He wants to be on a track. How old is he? Four. Yeah.
• 21:07
  Almost four. He's starting to realize what
• 21:10
  missing someone is. Um, yes. But, you know, not in the same way
• 21:15
  that maybe we understand it, you know? Yeah. It's still young, man.
• 21:19
  You know, I always come back pretty. The tours I do are never that long.
• 21:22
  Actually, if I do like a full tour, it's usually I.
• 21:26
  I, uh, only do about two weeks at a time, so it's nothing crazy.
• 21:29
  It's not like that's at a time. Are the other ones supporting your
• 21:33
  family? Um, yeah. Is it hard? Um, you know, growing up is hard.
• 21:41
  You know, growing pains. Yeah. Thanks, brother. Thanks.
• 21:45
  Thanks for. That. Thanks. Damn. Sasquatch understands. He he.
• 21:51
  He knows. Me. Yup, yup. Um. That's crazy, man. It's like.
• 21:55
  So I would like to know the moment. What was the moment when you
• 21:58
  turned chaos into harmony? Do you remember that moment,
• 22:00
  like where you said you had to stop doing, torturing yourself and try
• 22:04
  to live in peace with yourself? Um, I think there's many moments.
• 22:09
  Um, but, you know, kind of having spiritual experiences.
• 22:14
  Um, I feel like I've had so many. Um, just by seeking, seeking them,
• 22:21
  you know, and looking for them. Yeah. Like what? What do you seek?
• 22:25
  What are you seeking? I guess, uh, I guess I'm seeking
• 22:29
  to just get out of my own way. Yeah. You know what I mean?
• 22:32
  How hard is that? It's difficult. Even for a Sasquatch. Yeah.
• 22:36
  Because, um, you know, we kind of got the bug. Do you got the bug?
• 22:41
  Yeah. Of course. I live on the road. Yeah, I got the bug.
• 22:44
  We we want to do it. You know, it's kind of our dream.
• 22:47
  We live for, like, to interact with the crowd and
• 22:50
  to have an amazing time and to just know that we're doing that.
• 22:53
  I feel more comfortable on the road than I do just chilling in my house.
• 22:57
  I feel more comfortable in a hotel. Man, can I tell you something?
• 23:00
  One time I, uh, I got done with the tour, and for the first time ever,
• 23:05
  I had made a little bit of money and I was like, gosh,
• 23:08
  this tour was so tough. I'm gonna take a break. Yeah.
• 23:11
  You know, like, I don't know if you've ever done that.
• 23:13
  No, I've never done that. Just make money and then keep it
• 23:16
  in my bank account. Yeah, but don't don't take a break
• 23:19
  because, um. When you take a break. What happened? Depression.
• 23:24
  I fucking know it, dude. I fucking know it. That's.
• 23:27
  That's why I don't want to stop. I kind of even if I'm, like,
• 23:30
  a little tired. I'd rather be a little tired and
• 23:33
  be completely happy then, like being tired and depressed
• 23:36
  because I'm not doing what I should be doing every, every day of my life.
• 23:40
  I mean, that's living the dream, right? Yeah.
• 23:43
  You know, I remember that time that I decided I was going to, like,
• 23:46
  put music aside and just focus on making sure I'm alive. Yeah.
• 23:51
  And I remember, uh, you know, walking down the road and being like,
• 23:55
  man, if I saw a musician playing on the side of the road and I knew
• 23:59
  that I wasn't doing that, yeah, I would, I would feel so bad.
• 24:03
  Right. You know what I mean? And I just. So I just have to do it.
• 24:06
  You know, I just it I just have to do it. It's it's who we are.
• 24:10
  It's what we've tried so hard to do for so long right now.
• 24:14
  Against our success. Yeah. Yeah, it feels good. You know.
• 24:18
  No, you don't really feel it until someone says it.
• 24:21
  You know what I mean? Right. Or just like in it,
• 24:23
  you don't feel it until, like, you you take your head,
• 24:26
  you pop your head up from fucking boots in the ground and realize,
• 24:30
  oh, shit, I've been I've been trying to do that lately.
• 24:32
  It's like, kind of appreciate what I've been doing.
• 24:35
  You know, like, I'll just, like, I've just been working so
• 24:38
  fucking much, and I see, I know I'm getting more successful,
• 24:41
  but I don't want to put my eye off the prize, but sometimes I,
• 24:45
  I have I have a couple people in my life who are remind me, hey,
• 24:49
  look up, look what you're doing. There's thousands of people here.
• 24:52
  You are reaching milestones. You know, it's like sometimes we
• 24:57
  have to be reminded that all this hard work is actually paying off.
• 25:01
  You're so right. And it's the little things, too.
• 25:04
  Um, like like you've run into one person and they say they say
• 25:08
  something like, um, like six foot. The other day ran into someone
• 25:12
  and they were talking. She came to me and was like, hey,
• 25:15
  like, this guy was like on the verge of, like ending himself.
• 25:20
  And then saw your YouTube video and decided to take his grandfather's old
• 25:25
  socks out of the closet and play it. And now he's, oh. My.
• 25:28
  God, now his life is doing so well. And like, you're his inspiration.
• 25:32
  and I'm just thinking in my head I'm like, that is so like,
• 25:36
  that's what it's all about is helping people, right? You know? Right.
• 25:38
  And and if you are, ask us why we do it.
• 25:41
  I think it has to be about helping other people 3%, 100%.
• 25:45
  Because if it's about us, uh, you know, that's just not the point,
• 25:49
  right? It's not about. We're not doing this for our health,
• 25:52
  Sasquatch. We're doing this to fucking heal some
• 25:56
  people and and probably heal us, too. I mean, look at your story.
• 25:59
  You got out of cocaine. You've been ripping.
• 26:01
  I can't believe you were ripping cocaine in a U-Haul.
• 26:03
  That's fucking crazy. That's crazy. Yeah. Oh, was that before?
• 26:09
  Like, you're in bands or after you're in bands. Like when you're like, oh.
• 26:14
  You know, like, uh, like like, who knows?
• 26:16
  I, I was just one of those people that's drawn to it. Yeah. It's like.
• 26:19
  Me too. I love cocaine so much. Yeah, I gotta be.
• 26:22
  I gotta stay away from it because I like it too much.
• 26:25
  Yeah, you know what I'm saying? It's. You're just crying inside.
• 26:32
  I fucking love coke so much. Uh, no. I like it too much.
• 26:37
  I got a I got I'm like. But it teaches you willpower.
• 26:39
  You know, I like. This has been a whole kind of
• 26:42
  clean year. I've been kind of like, I'll do coke
• 26:44
  every now and then, but I've been. I stopped smoking weed. Really?
• 26:48
  I stopped taking mushrooms. Kinda. I eat a little,
• 26:51
  I eat like microdosing. I microdosing a little bit, um,
• 26:55
  during the show, but I don't eat them all day like I used to.
• 26:59
  I feel like I'm finally like I have control of my depression now.
• 27:04
  And sometimes when you don't have control your depression,
• 27:06
  that's when you start. I think that's when you start
• 27:09
  taking drugs and shit. Yeah, just like losing it.
• 27:12
  Like fucking snapping. Yeah, because it's fun at first,
• 27:15
  but then you're filling a void. And then when you fill a void,
• 27:18
  that means that's when it starts getting in trouble. Yeah.
• 27:21
  You gotta feel good in your life, right?
• 27:23
  I mean, you can't just be miserable all the time and to not take drugs,
• 27:27
  you know? You got a point, brother. You got a point.
• 27:34
  You got to feel good. Gotta feel. Good. And that's. That's important.
• 27:38
  How hard is it to feel good? How hard is it to feel good?
• 27:42
  It's hard. It's hard to allow yourself to feel
• 27:44
  good. All right. That's the question. You gotta allow yourself to feel
• 27:48
  good. We're too afraid to enjoy things
• 27:50
  because we're afraid. What? Other people are gonna think of them,
• 27:53
  right? Yeah. What's your take on humans?
• 27:56
  Like, what do you think? We suck. Um. No. No, I think we're equal.
• 28:01
  You know, I think we're the same. Uh, we're. Both.
• 28:04
  Some greedy sasquatches out there. You said greedy.
• 28:07
  Other greedy sasquatches. Yeah. Did you. Know. What I'm saying?
• 28:10
  I think it's just kind of a human experience.
• 28:12
  It depends on what roads you go down, you know? Right.
• 28:15
  Um, like, before I traveled that much, I thought that maybe other
• 28:19
  people were completely different. Other sasquatches were completely
• 28:23
  different in other places. Yeah. And then.
• 28:24
  I don't know if you've come to find this, but just traveling,
• 28:27
  it's like. Oh, humans are humans. No matter where you go.
• 28:30
  Sasquatches or sasquatches? We're just kind of the same. Yeah.
• 28:34
  It depends on the circumstances and the context of things.
• 28:37
  And I hear. You. You know,
• 28:38
  hopefully we can add a lot of, um, a lot of inspiration to people.
• 28:43
  And I just want to help people feel good. Yeah. How do you think?
• 28:47
  And how do you think? You know? What type of advice would you give
• 28:49
  people to make them feel good? Um. It's tough.
• 28:54
  Um, you know, I started doing some meditation. Yeah.
• 28:58
  And, like, guided meditation is a great way to start.
• 29:02
  Um, you know, like I said, I do the whole therapy thing. It helps.
• 29:07
  Right. It. You know, you gotta try. You gotta try every day.
• 29:10
  Try, try, try, try. You can't take a day off. Right.
• 29:12
  Um. And some days feel like ls. We just gotta take the L and move on.
• 29:17
  Yeah. Yeah, yeah. You know. So. Yeah. So, um, when was the biggest l
• 29:21
  you've ever taken? Biggest? Oh, that's a really good question.
• 29:26
  Um, biggest l, man. Just humiliating myself.
• 29:30
  How about that? Yeah. Like why? Tell me. Did you ever just, uh.
• 29:33
  You ever just, you know, double down on a on a bet and just.
• 29:38
  And then just lose it all, and then. Just like I'm doing it right now,
• 29:43
  brother. You know, I've, uh. Yeah. For sure.
• 29:49
  I mean, doubled down and losing. It's humiliating,
• 29:53
  but at least you tried. Yeah. And the hope is that we learn
• 29:57
  from our mistakes. What'd you do? Tell me. I want to know what.
• 30:00
  You're trying to think of. Some of the just the biggest hurdles.
• 30:03
  Uh, like sitting in with people and not having the microphone work and
• 30:07
  just, uh, having the laptop shut down in the middle of the set.
• 30:10
  You know what I'm saying? Just complete ls.
• 30:13
  Have you ever had a Spinal tap moment where you just can't find
• 30:15
  the stage and you're just sweating? I mean, you're a big person.
• 30:18
  Um, I've I've I've had some very close
• 30:20
  calls where almost just completely shit tripped over a monitor.
• 30:25
  I mean, you can't see anything. You're wearing glasses and you
• 30:28
  have a saxophone like vipers. You know, you got these big ass feet.
• 30:32
  So I got this big. How do you have sex?
• 30:37
  I'm the same way I have sex. Is it like doggy?
• 30:41
  A lot of doggy style. I mean, you're blowing.
• 30:51
  Like I was. I was always curious. You probably have a hog on you.
• 30:54
  Yeah, yeah, well, that's what they say.
• 30:56
  But, uh, you know, the big feet, big sacks. Yeah.
• 30:59
  What about, um, your your your girlfriend. She's, uh.
• 31:03
  She in pain when it happened. Like, what is it like? Bigfoot.
• 31:06
  Um, you know, she can throw a black dog. She can throw it back.
• 31:09
  Okay. Yeah, that's my girl. Yeah, that's pretty wild, man.
• 31:15
  I'm curious about how your, um, selling out shows.
• 31:17
  You said there's a philosophy to selling out shows,
• 31:20
  and you've been selling out shows the last year. What?
• 31:23
  What have you and your girlfriend been doing to, uh, try to get people,
• 31:27
  you know, get people to recognize. Who? Sasquatches. Yeah.
• 31:30
  Well, the first and most important thing is to just make
• 31:33
  the show so fucking good. You know, I got my laser license
• 31:37
  from the government. You got a laser,
• 31:39
  you got a laser machine? I got I got four, um, four class A
• 31:43
  laser. Shut the fuck up, Sasquatch. So, are you serious? Yeah. So?
• 31:48
  So I'm running. Um, I'm running my Ableton setup.
• 31:51
  You know. Yeah, I got the stems, I got stuff.
• 31:53
  But then when you trigger certain scenes, I've.
• 31:55
  I've built in, it's, um. It's midi to DMX, to Ilda to the
• 32:01
  laser, so exercise to some pre-programmed patches in there.
• 32:05
  But then I've designed these. So the laser shows are also shooting
• 32:08
  laser beams over people's heads. That's fucking right.
• 32:11
  So what what what's to get a certificate to do? Lasers.
• 32:15
  Like what's like what's it take? It's it's a really, uh,
• 32:19
  rigorous process, but, um. You can blind a motherfucker.
• 32:23
  Yes, yes. It's serious. It's really serious.
• 32:27
  Fucking scary dude. Yeah. So it's a good insurance.
• 32:30
  Like you have to get, like, band insurance. Um, no.
• 32:33
  The variance kind of includes its own kind of.
• 32:36
  You're going to be responsible. Something bad happens. Oh my God.
• 32:41
  So if you blind someone, it's your responsibility.
• 32:43
  Yeah, that's that's basically what it is, you know?
• 32:46
  Um, have you ever had, like, a hook, like, you do a lot of festivals and,
• 32:50
  uh, you know, you're just, you know, vibing at night?
• 32:53
  Has you have you ever just, like, freak someone out on in a ten or,
• 32:57
  like, a spun out fucking hook, just like. Dude a million times.
• 33:02
  Over there. And you know what. What what what?
• 33:06
  Which one was the the best? Like, oh my God, freaked out. Dude.
• 33:10
  It happened every it happens every day and I love it.
• 33:12
  I it feels so good. You know, it sometimes it feels
• 33:15
  good to scare people. Um, you. Know that. You're. A big person.
• 33:19
  It's just like, oh, you know, like. And they're like, Holy crap.
• 33:23
  Um, well, when I started out, um, you know, I didn't have the glasses.
• 33:27
  This is why I wore the glasses. That bandana.
• 33:29
  Because I was much scarier back then, and I would make, I mean,
• 33:34
  literally make babies cry. Um, I'd be going through these towns,
• 33:38
  and, you know, the old ladies would look at me like,
• 33:40
  I'm like the devil, you know, like, oh, you know what I mean?
• 33:43
  And it's like, yeah, that didn't feel very good. Um, but. You ever been.
• 33:48
  So you've always felt you're misunderstood. Yeah.
• 33:50
  For a long time, you've been friendly your whole life.
• 33:52
  You never killed someone by accident. That's right, that's right.
• 33:54
  Really? Never by accident. Has anyone tried to kill you?
• 34:02
  Um. It's like this all the time. They're like, oh,
• 34:04
  what about hunters? What about what? About getting hunted by big.
• 34:08
  You know, I, I am the danger as Breaking Bad,
• 34:12
  so you know what I'm saying? So I'm the. I'm the hunter.
• 34:14
  You know what I mean? Ask about the hunter.
• 34:17
  That's what I'm saying. Yeah. Be careful in these, like, uh,
• 34:19
  you know, these, uh, racist towns, too. Yeah.
• 34:23
  But again, I feel I feel like I'm good.
• 34:27
  I feel I've got a lot of, like, body on me.
• 34:29
  You know, if I get shot, I'm like, I'm. I'm not even I fucking.
• 34:33
  I'm not even afraid of, like, death anymore.
• 34:35
  Why aren't you afraid of death? Um. Just because if that's how I go,
• 34:41
  that's how I go. You know. That's that's that's actually
• 34:44
  fucking poetic, dude. Holy shit. Sasquatch. Full of knowledge.
• 34:52
  Um, go back to, uh, promoting shows. How how how did you do it?
• 34:56
  How how are you doing it? Uh, I heard, uh, girlfriend was
• 34:59
  saying, like, you'd call, like the fire departments and shit. Oh, yeah.
• 35:04
  Well, well, you know, I, I love, I love sales and stuff, and I love
• 35:08
  trying to think outside the box. Yeah, we're trying to, like, we're
• 35:11
  trying to scale it up because we. Because I think that we have
• 35:13
  something that's really good, you know, and we're getting
• 35:16
  we're helping so many people. We're doing fundraisers for like
• 35:19
  charities and stuff. We're kind of. Making, you know, we're getting.
• 35:22
  We're building a team and a crew. We're employing, like,
• 35:25
  a visual artist and, um, and, you know, other people and
• 35:28
  artists of all types on the team. Uh, and so now it's time to scale
• 35:33
  it up. You know what I mean? Let's scale it up.
• 35:34
  And and to me, the the show is a lot about the audience.
• 35:38
  You know, when the audience is screaming so loud that you feel it in
• 35:41
  your bones does not feel so good. Oh, it's the best.
• 35:44
  Aren't you just like, wow, I feel so good.
• 35:46
  And it feels good for the crowd too, because they're like, when I if
• 35:50
  you go to a show, you don't want the crowd to be dead. No, no, no.
• 35:54
  If you were at a show watching someone on stage, you would want the
• 35:56
  crowd to be going wild. Yeah. Yeah. Because it's awesome to be a
• 36:00
  part of that. Um. So, uh. Yeah, I've been on a big Oasis kick
• 36:04
  right now. I'm like, really deep. It's like my favorite thing.
• 36:07
  I'm going to see Oasis in September. Congrats. Thanks, dude.
• 36:10
  I can't wait. I'm going to New York. Um,
• 36:13
  if anyone's in town September 1st. Um, I'll be in New York for a week.
• 36:17
  Uh, let's hang out. Um, but I But he he, uh, Gallagher
• 36:22
  had this saying there's like, this moment where you're completely still
• 36:27
  and there's chaos all around you. And that's the moment he feels
• 36:32
  more the most alive. Because, you know,
• 36:34
  we're fucking we're energy builders. And for us to, like,
• 36:38
  take a step back completely, completely still and see what
• 36:43
  you what ripples you've made. And I think that that gives me a
• 36:46
  hard on. Wow. Pretty crazy right? I love. That.
• 36:50
  I love that because somebody's got to be the the the not the chaos.
• 36:53
  But somebody's got to be the volume and the intuition, you know?
• 36:56
  And so it's like, where's it you know. Where's it coming. From?
• 37:00
  Energy. Yeah. Where is it? I mean, it has to come from
• 37:01
  something. And it's us, right? Yeah, yeah. So you tell me.
• 37:05
  So what was the most random, like, company?
• 37:08
  You called to come to this show and they actually showed up?
• 37:11
  Um, yeah, the fire department in New York City.
• 37:14
  Oh, your girlfriend called the fire department in New York City. Yeah.
• 37:17
  Emailed, emailed, and I think 40 or 40 or 50 of them.
• 37:21
  Not the fuck out. Dude, your girlfriend is a badass.
• 37:27
  Yeah. You got lucky. Yeah. I mean, is there a lot of sasquatches
• 37:31
  out there like to pick from, or did you just, like, got lucky
• 37:34
  you found one. I got so lucky, man. How'd you meet? We met.
• 37:38
  Actually, I was I was at a rave. True story. I was at a rave.
• 37:43
  I was checking out a possible opener for my tour, and, um.
• 37:47
  And there was a chess board at the rave.
• 37:50
  It was this awesome spot called The Fruit in Durham.
• 37:53
  Uh, and I went up to someone. I was like, hey,
• 37:55
  do you want to play chess? Like,
• 37:57
  I'm waiting for the show to start. And they were like, well,
• 38:00
  I don't play chess, but let me go ask my friend group.
• 38:03
  Uh, I got in touch with the friend group.
• 38:04
  They were huge fans, it turns out. So I was like, oh, this is so sick.
• 38:08
  And then, um, a couple of weeks later, one of them texted me and
• 38:11
  was like, hey, I think I got a girl that would be perfect for you.
• 38:14
  Her name's Thick Foot. And I was like, let's go, you know?
• 38:18
  And you know, we hit it off ever since, you know.
• 38:21
  Do you have, like, a hygiene? Do you shower? Yeah. Yeah.
• 38:24
  I, uh, make sure. How do you. How do you get into a shower?
• 38:26
  I mean, you're fucking huge. I know, man, it don't even don't
• 38:30
  even. It's it's a lot to get. What type of porn do you watch? Um.
• 38:35
  You know, I've been, you know, I don't know.
• 38:37
  If you, like, beat off to, like, uh, just human porn or, like, what do
• 38:41
  you do? Like what? How do you get. How do you get your rocks off?
• 38:43
  I'm like, do you use my imagination, man? You know, sick.
• 38:46
  That's the way to do it. You know. I gotta start doing that.
• 38:50
  And that's how I remember. Remember the old days.
• 38:52
  Just close your eyes and just fucking jerk one out. Just imagine. Whatever.
• 38:57
  Yeah. Just imagine. Whatever. Yeah. Oh, man. What a fucking life. Um.
• 39:02
  So what are what's what's next? Like, what are you, like,
• 39:04
  when you're picturing your vision board for the next year?
• 39:08
  Five years? What? What's on it? Oh, that's a great question.
• 39:12
  Well, um. Uh, well, you know, I've never
• 39:16
  played Jam Cruise. I would be sick. Oh, I'll get you on that.
• 39:19
  Um, yeah. And. Annabelle, you listen to this
• 39:22
  podcast, get Sasquatch on the fucking jam cruise. Come on.
• 39:25
  Yeah, yeah. No, I love Annabelle. Yeah, yeah. So I'd love to do that.

  We sold out Cervantes ballroom. Really? Yeah. That was. And cap.
• 39:37
  Isn't Scott great? Yeah, yeah, it was, it was.
• 39:41
  It was so awesome. So I'm hoping that somebody will
• 39:43
  be like. You'll come open and come open
• 39:45
  for us at Red rocks. That would be sick. The gorge.
• 39:47
  These are all squashy places, you know. Yeah.
• 39:49
  What's your dream venue for this show to happen at?
• 39:53
  I mean, I've never been to the Gorge in my life, so.
• 39:56
  Dude, that's like you. That is. You written all over it.
• 39:59
  It's so big, though. Well, yeah, maybe Dave will.
• 40:03
  Dave Matthews will put you up on a gorgeous.
• 40:06
  Yeah, well, I'm liking the electronic scene.
• 40:08
  Would you join a band? Would you? What if Dave Matthews said Sasquatch?
• 40:12
  I really like what you're putting down here.
• 40:14
  Would you like to join Dave Matthews Band? Would you do it? Uh.
• 40:17
  Probably not. Why not? But, um. Well, Jeff Cochran, first of all,
• 40:22
  saxophone player is incredible. Um, I saw his saxophone. Yeah.
• 40:26
  Fuck that guy. That's all I know. Jeff Kaufman, if you're listening,
• 40:29
  I saw your saxophone in the in the Rock n Roll History Museum the
• 40:32
  other day in Cleveland. Really? Did you go? Yeah, yeah. I was sick.
• 40:36
  Did they, like, they parade you around?
• 40:39
  Yeah, they they got they got us in and everything. It was.
• 40:41
  It was awesome. Um, but I love doing my own thing,
• 40:45
  man. I love making my own music. I know I hear. You, you know?
• 40:47
  And then you've been in the pit of your whole fucking life.
• 40:50
  Why would you join something? Well, yeah, well, I would.
• 40:55
  I would love to be a part of anything, but I won't be.
• 40:56
  I wouldn't be able to dedicate my whole, uh, creative energy
• 41:00
  towards something else. I think, oh, well, just because
• 41:03
  I think that I would do a better job of my goal of helping people
• 41:08
  to do it right. Do it myself. You know,
• 41:10
  because I've kind of had this vision or whatever for a while. Wow.
• 41:16
  You know, I wouldn't want to give up on it, but you know what I'm saying?
• 41:19
  I hear you, man. What's your dream? Like, what's the ultimate dream?
• 41:23
  Like, what is your ultimate dream? Do you want a Grammy?
• 41:25
  Do you want just peace and harmony in the valley or what?
• 41:29
  What's your ultimate dream? I'm ready. For this. I'm ready.
• 41:33
  I'm fucking living it, dawg. Me too. Brother. Me fucking too, big daddy.
• 41:40
  Yeah you are. What more could you want?
• 41:42
  Like just riding in a minivan with your girlfriend.
• 41:45
  Just fucking show the show. Yeah. Got your in there.
• 41:48
  Even if we hide all the money, fame, whatever in the world.
• 41:52
  Um, how much different would you honestly want things to be?
• 41:56
  Yeah. That's true. Like a bigger house. Like.
• 41:58
  Oh, now you have to walk more. Yeah. You know, uh, you know, more money
• 42:04
  now you gotta account for more. You know, you gotta pay more taxes.
• 42:06
  You know, it's just like, more more money. No problem kind of thing.
• 42:10
  Um, you know, and you know that, you know,
• 42:12
  that song on TikTok that's like. I think I like this little life.
• 42:15
  Yeah, I love that. Oh, that's so cute.
• 42:20
  I think about that too. I'm like,
• 42:22
  how what is what is the deal with me? You know, like,
• 42:25
  I have this big house and I, you know, I'm not trying to brag,
• 42:29
  I, but I only I sleep in the living room on the couch.
• 42:34
  Still, I don't go upstairs to my beautiful bedroom.
• 42:38
  You know, I do not do that. Every time I'm home,
• 42:41
  I'm more comfortable on the couch. I should just get a fucking one
• 42:45
  bedroom and fucking call it a day. You know, not this fucking exotic
• 42:50
  man cave I have right now. It's like. What? What is that?
• 42:54
  We don't need that much things. It's. I think, uh, how much you have
• 42:58
  in your backpack is how, um, how free you're going to be if you
• 43:03
  don't have a lot in your backpack, you're not going to be free.
• 43:06
  Or if you don't have a lot in the backpack, you are going to
• 43:08
  be free if you have all these things holding you down, um,
• 43:12
  I think you're going to be more inclined to just stay in one place.
• 43:15
  And I don't know about you, but I. I've never wanted to just stay in
• 43:19
  one place. I want to keep evolving. Yeah, that's so true.
• 43:23
  And imagine this. I think this is also the dream.
• 43:26
  Equal Rights National Forest is everywhere.
• 43:29
  I know what the fuck. Parks? Um, how are you feeling about
• 43:33
  Trump or just fucking trying to kill all these sasquatches?
• 43:37
  Oh, I mean, I you know, I never get political, but you can
• 43:40
  tell what political side I'm on. I hear you, brother. Yeah. Yeah.
• 43:46
  Just by saying that, you can tell me, um, because I think the dream is for,
• 43:51
  uh, people who just come together, you know?
• 43:53
  But, you know, what I will say is that I have a
• 43:56
  lot of friends who are on the other opposite political spectrum.
• 44:00
  And I asked them, I was like, you know, what is it like?
• 44:03
  Why, you know, and they just get different information, you know,
• 44:07
  they're still they're still good people.
• 44:08
  They're just getting fed completely different Information.
• 44:12
  I know. You are. You are. You are your Sasquatch family.
• 44:16
  Read the news and watch the news and stuffed.
• 44:19
  As much as as much as you have to. Yeah. You know. Um, because it's all.
• 44:24
  It's all a game, you know, it's all about money.
• 44:26
  We were talking about this. Everything is about money.
• 44:28
  At the end of the day, when you get into the business
• 44:30
  side of everything. Bullshit. It's all about money. It's bullshit.
• 44:33
  And and and you start to see right through it.
• 44:36
  You're like, oh, they're just making money on this, right?
• 44:38
  Or like, like, uh, you know, on any side. It's like just a money game.
• 44:43
  I know it's bullshit. Yeah. What are we gonna do?
• 44:46
  Oh, we're gonna make music, bro. We're gonna fucking keep slaying.
• 44:49
  I know, it's crazy. I mean, I, I think about this all
• 44:51
  the time. Do you have to play soon? Yeah. We're almost. It's, uh.
• 44:55
  Uh, 645. Yeah. It depends. There's, like a thunderstorm, right?
• 44:59
  Yeah. We're good, we're good. I think they're delaying the show.
• 45:02
  Yeah, we got, like, five more minutes. All right. Cool.
• 45:04
  Um, this has been a pleasure, uh, getting to know you.
• 45:06
  I mean, we're I would love to tour with you more if you're down.
• 45:09
  Yeah, man. I think it's a good combo. It.
• 45:12
  I think it's a great combo. I was. That's why I was like, I've been
• 45:15
  wanting. Thanks for reaching out. You reached out to me and said,
• 45:17
  hey man, you want to do these shows? I'm like, fuck yeah, and that.
• 45:20
  But that was a long time ago. And then I came back and hit you
• 45:23
  up about these shows. Yeah. And we reconnected. It's been nice.
• 45:27
  Me too. Thanks for good, man. Thanks for believing in me.
• 45:29
  I really like your girlfriend. I think you two are good, too.
• 45:32
  I really like her a lot. That picture of her, um, with her ass
• 45:37
  out and. And the big feet. Yeah. Is so fucking amazing. And it's so.
• 45:42
  She's funny, dude. She's hilarious. She's hilarious. She's gonna love.
• 45:46
  This. Um, a couple things. Um, yeah. When you have sex back to sex.
• 45:52
  Because I'm very. I'm very curious. I have no libido these days, so I'm
• 45:55
  just envious of people just having, like, animal sex right now. Yeah.
• 45:59
  When you moan, you moan like a human or like a. Oh, what do you do?
• 46:05
  How does it how does it come out? It just needs to be enthusiastic,
• 46:07
  I think. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Have you ever just howled at the
• 46:15
  moon? Yeah. Do you howl? I mean, is that part of your
• 46:19
  instinct to howl? Dude? Can I tell you one time? Yeah.
• 46:22
  We were. We were, you know, banging and stuff,
• 46:25
  but it was in Olympic National Park. Oh my. God.
• 46:27
  It was, um, you know, two storey. And there was this, uh, like,
• 46:32
  I don't know, some kind of class of scientists in the park. Yeah.
• 46:36
  And it was maybe 20, 30 people. Yeah. And it was nighttime.
• 46:40
  We were in the woods, and as soon as we got done,
• 46:43
  they all started clapping. Oh. No way. True story. True story.
• 46:53
  Oh, my God, I have that. I had that same situation.
• 46:56
  I was in, um, Boca Raton, Florida, and it was like 5 a.m. and we were
• 47:01
  kind of fucked up and we were like, let's go to the beach.
• 47:03
  We had my dumbass, didn't we go? You know, like there's all these
• 47:07
  entrances to beaches. Yeah, I just like what?
• 47:10
  Because we were kind of drunk and we just walked.
• 47:13
  We just did the entrance and then we didn't, like,
• 47:16
  go to the left or go to the right. So we were on the beaten path to the
• 47:19
  beach and we were just having sex. I'm just like kind of missionary
• 47:23
  and my asses out. And all of a sudden, like,
• 47:25
  it was kind of dark, but the sun was starting to come out and all of a
• 47:28
  sudden the sun starts coming out. I realize there's people everywhere
• 47:31
  with their dogs dancing on, like they're probably like,
• 47:34
  get the fuck away from this. Like what is going on?
• 47:37
  And my Boca Raton billion dollar fucking community and I'm
• 47:41
  howling and stuff. It was it felt free,
• 47:43
  though I never I've always been afraid to have sex in public.
• 47:46
  I'm not like a public sector. Yeah. You know.
• 47:50
  Yeah, it kind of felt free to just like, have sex in the fucking on
• 47:54
  a beach or just not care. How hard is it for you to not care?
• 48:00
  Um, it's it's it's tough, but it depends on, like, how good it is,
• 48:04
  you know. Or just in general sex. Yeah, Hell, yeah. Let's go.
• 48:11
  I mean, you said it all. I mean, I feel like, um,
• 48:14
  we we learned a little bit about, um, the life that is Sasquatch before.
• 48:19
  I mean, I didn't know you had a drug addiction. It's pretty crazy.
• 48:22
  And I'm glad you got through that. And I know that's serious.
• 48:25
  I know that's real. I could hear it in your voice, and
• 48:27
  now you're you. You took that chaos. You turn into harmony.
• 48:31
  Now you're selling out shows all around the country.
• 48:34
  Um, my last question to you is, when it's all said and done,
• 48:37
  what do you want to be remembered by? Well, that's a good question.
• 48:42
  I want to be remembered by, uh, bringing people together. Yeah.
• 48:46
  Yeah, I love that. That's the thing is. Yeah.
• 48:48
  Getting people to feel good. Yeah, I love it. Yeah.
• 48:52
  Well, ladies and gentlemen, that was Sasquatch.
• 48:54
  Thanks for being on the show, buddy. Let's go.
• 48:56
  Uh, let's go kick ass in Philadelphia.
• 48:58
  We're in the suburbs, but we'll still call Philadelphia. Yeah.
• 49:02
  Fuck, yeah. Thanks, bud. Thanks.
