- 1:23what the fuck happened? You had. You didn't announce anything.
- 1:26You just showed up. You just gang banged us with a
- 1:29bunch of new guys. So we're gonna here to introduce
- 1:33the band first. Um, because it's been no one's.
- 1:36We haven't really talked publicly about what the fuck happened to Sean,
- 1:39and we haven't really talked publicly about, you know,
- 1:42what are what's gonna what the next four months is going to look
- 1:46like for this band. So, um, beats. Take it away. What? What am I here?
- 1:54So this is what I get for 15 years. Oh, yeah. Okay. Um, no.
- 1:58It's so funny now that I'm like, you know, I do my shtick.
- 2:00Like, this is our 15 year anniversary this year.
- 2:02I look at all you motherfuckers. You all haven't been with me for
- 2:0415 goddamn year. 15 months. I always go to the Cuny.
- 2:08I'm like, man, it's been the hardest 15 years of my life,
- 2:10you know? Just fucking winging it. Um, but what a ride this been.
- 2:17Um. I've made people cry. Raise your hand if I made you cry.
- 2:22It was on the verge of tears. He was on the verge. The first. Bird.
- 2:27It was a you know, sometimes, you know, I got, you know,
- 2:29it's like, you know, as your as your fearless leader.
- 2:31Sometimes I gotta figure out what the fuck to do, because, you know,
- 2:33Sean is a big force in this band. And, uh, not having him around
- 2:38opened up, um, opened up the studio space to explore. Right. See?
- 2:44So, um, when you're first figuring out, you know, you don't want
- 2:47when you have new musicians, you don't want, um, to make them feel
- 2:51like you're just being a typewriter. And I said, that's a fucking. Um.
- 2:55I apologize for saying that to my voice.
- 2:57You can get into that a little later. Let's figure out why.
- 3:00Why these guys are here. Especially Cooney because Sean
- 3:05tours MC. Is it terrorism? Yeah. What? Kneecap. He has bad knees.
- 3:09The man has bad news. I mean, he is fucking 48 years
- 3:13old or 47 years old. Yes, but he's he's strong in
- 3:16different ways. His kneecap went over here.
- 3:18Yeah, but he didn't. And it didn't go back in.
- 3:21And at the last time, when was the last time that happened?
- 3:24It happened at. See here now, ten years ago.
- 3:27No, it was like 4 or 5 years ago. Right before we went to Europe.
- 3:31Right before we went to Europe. Yeah, he tore it.
- 3:32It was in rolling Stone. It was rolling Stone. Yeah.
- 3:35That knee, um, that that knee lasted longer than what?
- 3:40Um, the the mushrooms. Atlanta. My. On my stage. Um, but yeah.
- 3:46So we haven't had that happen in a while.
- 3:48It was also, you know, he was it was kind of a tough thing.
- 3:51It was his fucking birthday. It was his birthday. Yeah.
- 3:54Everybody was having. A good time, and then boom.
- 3:57One wrong move. One wrong move. I didn't even do.
- 4:00Anything like gnarly. It was just like he, like,
- 4:02steps to grab his beer off his amp or something. It was like, really?
- 4:05I think probably just playing a little too intense.
- 4:07I remember the night before I was like, you know, everyone was kind
- 4:11of giving me lackadaisical effort. I'm like, fucking you all better
- 4:14step it up tomorrow. Like, just fucking drill
- 4:17sergeant a little bit. And I think he took that
- 4:19personally and try to go extra hard and popped his knee out.
- 4:22And the scary part was when he was like, we need a name.
- 4:25We had that was we haven't really stopped the show before.
- 4:27Yeah, luckily it was the end to it was. Luckily we saw it.
- 4:31Luckily we couldn't stop the show and, uh,
- 4:34we had to call the ambulance. And once shit got real. Yeah.
- 4:37Don't fucking don't go in that ambulance.
- 4:39Because why ambulance are so fucking expensive? Yeah.
- 4:41Thanks, America. Yeah, thanks. I think they've always been. I think.
- 4:46The fuck. My boys heard out here. You're gonna charge him five grand.
- 4:50Charge me five grand. Fuck that. He took a big old swig of whiskey
- 4:53and took a big old swig of whiskey. Rub. Rub some dirt on.
- 4:57Around and get that big old bottle of whiskey.
- 4:59Looks like they're about to just amputate it.
- 5:02It was like a scene from. Like. It's like a pirate.
- 5:04Like a scene from tombstone. Scene from tombstone. It was.
- 5:10It felt like a scene from tombstone. They put him on the fucking pool
- 5:13table. I was smoking a cigarette right
- 5:18next to the ambulance guy. Like holding, puffing a cigarette
- 5:21inside, like. So what's the problem? I was like, I probably shouldn't
- 5:25be smoking cigarette. He was like, the aim is like, uh,
- 5:28you guys are part of the problem. So he's getting surgery on
- 5:32September 11th. Ooh. Rest in peace. Never forget.
- 5:37Damn. That's too soon, man. That's like seven years ago. No.
- 5:40How long was nine, 11. 25 years ago. Oh 24. 24. Damn. Never forget.
- 5:47Well, we're never gonna forget his knee, because that's the
- 5:49hopefully the last time that thing, has to jiggle that, they say.
- 5:53Like Will Smith says, getting jiggy with this. Yeah.
- 5:56Um, so rest in peace, Sean. But Sean's gonna be out for four
- 5:58months, so get used to these new guys.
- 6:01Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the stage,
- 6:03Mr. Andrew Cooney. Oh, hello. Hello. Yeah. How's it going? How's it doing?
- 6:10How are you? How you feeling? It's a lot of big shoes to fill with.
- 6:12Um, I physically and and, uh, literally.
- 6:15And, you know, he's got big feet. Yeah. He does. He does. It.
- 6:19He goes, you have a hug. We need big hugs for a guitar.
- 6:21You know, I think me and whoever else fills in together probably,
- 6:25you know, it's like captive to that. It's like, uh, what's that movie?
- 6:28Uh. Or, um, Transformers. You just all gotta connect.
- 6:32Where you all have. To. Connect together to be crazy.
- 6:35Yeah. Water. Earth. That's really. Like we're three. Different. Movies.
- 6:41Like all three of those movies. But, um,
- 6:43I feel like we finally got a show. It's a it's a different show,
- 6:46and I want to say, I really like it. How? It's different.
- 6:48It's like, not really rock n roll, like in-your-face rock n roll.
- 6:52I'm kind of loving this new thing going on. How y'all feeling about it?
- 6:56I mean, I'm just doing what I can to to try to make everybody feel like
- 7:00the songs are are there and full and and what, you know, they expect.
- 7:05And I mean, maybe not exactly what they expect, but, you know,
- 7:08bring it up to the table that it's like sounding like a band,
- 7:11you know. Right. I mean,
- 7:12you wrote half these songs now. Well, luckily and luckily,
- 7:16he's I mean, he's been on the road with us doing big festivals
- 7:19during the rhythm guitar before, so he kind of knew. Yeah.
- 7:22Most of the songs, which was great. I'm still filling in a lot of just
- 7:25like rhythm stuff, but, you know, and I'm picking up a lot of like the,
- 7:29the staple licks so that somebody else can come in and do
- 7:32the solos and. Right. Yeah. Are you partying as much as Sean?
- 7:36That's probably not. Good, though. I don't know. Could he go? Oh, no.
- 7:46No no no no. I like to have. I like that. I like to have fun.
- 7:49I like to have fun, but. No, no. Come on.
- 7:51I've seen who went to bed the other night before we flew out
- 7:53of Charleston. Yeah. Oh. Listen, you need a bug for that
- 8:00on your thing. Listen, it's not my fault, you know?
- 8:05You know, like the party, if you can. But that was also a fucked up
- 8:08situation. We were just gonna go watch a movie.
- 8:10Yeah, the timing was fucking insane. Beats you. We snuck in.
- 8:15We're like, we're gonna go chill. We're gonna go chill.
- 8:16We snuck into a movie. We're all watching a movie.
- 8:19Nick and I, we're all laughing watching this dumb Jurassic Park,
- 8:21which are so dumb. But we're. Great. We're like,
- 8:24let's just go get a quick bite. Of course, the quick bite was across
- 8:27the street from the poorhouse, and I felt I just felt that Jurassic
- 8:31Park moment with the water. Stagnant water. Goo goo goo books.
- 8:35I'll still get a call from Daniel Snell. Hey, where are you at?
- 8:39I'm like, fuck. Okay, we're at. We're at Bar George.

- 17:18why I made Sam cry. So let's talk about Sam's version
- 17:22of this story, and then I'll talk about my version of the story.
- 17:25So what? So how sad were you when I. When that happened? It was.
- 17:29It was Amagansett. Um. You know. Yeah, I guess I was more, like,
- 17:33frustrated because, like, I saw where you were coming from,
- 17:35but I also was like, like disappointed that, like,
- 17:39we didn't give the show that we should have that night. Yeah.
- 17:41And, um, and I was also kind of like, man, I feel like we're making a,
- 17:46making a big deal out of this. And like, I was like,
- 17:48that's what made me mostly sad. I was like, I was like, I feel like
- 17:50there was a way for us to kind of get to a similar point where we were at.
- 17:53I totally forgot that it was a bunch of rich cougars at the show.
- 17:57The crowd was not. The crowd wasn't. It was 90% of the crowd was
- 18:00prescribed Xanax. Yeah. And they were.
- 18:02Also like looking at the bar. It was a high ticket.
- 18:06It was for the rich people. It was in the Hamptons.
- 18:09And I was just like, yeah. And then I started getting into
- 18:11my Phil Jackson shit. You want to be a typewriter or you.
- 18:14Want. To be a leader? Let me set the scene.
- 18:16It got really dark and, like, the temperature drop.
- 18:18Like, what was it, 33 degrees in an instant.
- 18:21The one you see your breath on the bus, and fatso.
- 18:23Comes busting into the room, and there's some lightning out
- 18:26of the. Window. Good show, good show, good show.
- 18:29You know what? You know what? Lock the door. It was. I was like, I.
- 18:38It was. You guys are in the van. Yeah. You felt the fucking rumbling.

- 20:06I lean on Sean, I lean on Floyd. And, uh, to not have him there,
- 20:10I gotta lean on myself. And it gave me the confidence
- 20:13that I could leave on myself and for you to trust me as another

- 20:37doing or what Shawn's fucking up to. Or what Floyd, you know?
- 20:40Just trying to entertain all them all the time.
- 20:42Then being having a break for a while just made me realize, um,

- 20:50I just can't thank you enough. You know, and it sucks at Shawn.
- 20:53It has to happen when Shawn's fucked up.

- 25:19Well, Happy birthday Walker. Thanks for putting up with our
- 25:21bullshit. Monitors are probably the hardest
- 25:23in this band, but I feel like it's been a little more compact.
- 25:26It's been a little cleaner. Yeah. Yeah, definitely. Lately. Right.
- 25:28I think I think we're both kid. I'm getting used to the way you

- 25:56idea that there's, uh, ginger lime juice and green herbs in this.
- 26:01So I kind of feel healthy drinking this when they got all
- 26:03these different ones. Like, I was kind of nervous
- 26:05about this bourbon cocktail, but it's bourbon whiskey.
- 26:08Green herbs, lime juice, ginger and jalapenos.
- 26:10Got a little spice to it, but you put some ice in it and
- 26:13it's actually a cocktail. And like,

- 29:56Band? Yeah. Andy, you kiss good. But you just smell like cigarettes.
- 30:04Oh, I don't know. How about that girl putting a
- 30:09lemon in his mouth? Oh, God. Oh, yeah. What That one.
- 30:12Where's this bar? Where's this? I think it was in Southampton.
- 30:15You could cut this if you want. No, we're at this bar.
- 30:17You can keep it. And this girl. He was like.
- 30:20He was making out with this really hot girl.
- 30:22And, like, at the bar, she, like, went like this and, like, put a.
- 30:25Lemon in. His mouth and was like. Suck. On it.
- 30:28And she sucked on one, too. Like, like they were taking a shot.
- 30:31And then. Then she kissed you. It's an old bar trick.
- 30:34It makes you smell. Good when you. Put a little lemon in there.
- 30:36Oh, well. Shot that. Thank you. I think I've only kissed Andy.
- 30:42No, I kissed. You kissed Sean? You kissed her.
- 30:45I've seen you kissing. Oh, yeah, I kissed Ernie. Um.
- 30:48I think just because I kissed you the most. This is another.
- 30:52By the numbers. That's true. This is another good one.
- 30:54The numbers. What is the grossest thing
- 30:56you've seen? One of your band members eat or
- 30:59drink? I think it was that. That, like thing that, like,
- 31:04what was it, Ham or chicken that we, er, fried it like three in the
- 31:07morning at one time. From the chicken we air fry the
- 31:11fucking. I forgot. We air fry the whole chicken.
- 31:14Dude, they can wrap. Oh, it was bacon wrapped.
- 31:16That was foul. We put honey on it, right?
- 31:19Or like syrup. Uh. We like, we like. I'm glad I was like we were glazing
- 31:25it and putting. It in the air fryer. Oh my God. We woke up the next day.
- 31:30On the menu was cheese tea, which I'd never heard of.
- 31:33It was interesting just yet. No. On the menu of the place we went
- 31:36yesterday. No cheese tea and I had never
- 31:39heard of that before. And I like to think of myself as
- 31:41a well versed planarian. But it was that 3 a.m. we thought it
- 31:46was a great idea to bake a whole hen bake and a gas station hen.
- 31:50Oh my God, you guys came in there like we got. Whole. Ham.
- 31:53We're gonna put it in the air fryer. Like, how is he gonna fit in?
- 31:55Like, it was huge. Uh, it was frozen, wasn't it?
- 31:58Yeah. It could have blown up. Yeah. Uh. Alley crawl.
- 32:03Posted, uh, sent a question. Um, which one of you assholes
- 32:08leaves the toilet up, toilet seat up on the tour bus.
- 32:12I think it's everybody I know. I see I'm like really close.
- 32:17In every. Single. Time. I think it's,
- 32:19I think maybe people think it's up because when you hit a bump,
- 32:21it jumps maybe and it slams and it sounds like it's closing. Maybe.
- 32:25No, we're drunk and peeing all over pour probably.
- 32:28It's like, I don't know, I'm all over the fucking scene.
- 32:31I don't know who broke the flusher on the. So I guess.
- 32:41This is why Andy doesn't do the band pods. Fuck.
- 32:45This is a bad idea with these questions.
- 32:47Start talking about the list next. What say the game should bring
- 32:51up the list next or what? The list? The list of. Andy.
- 32:55Andy says okay, so references. Cooney, what are you? What are you?
- 32:59I just noticed one day that Andy had a habit of, like, saying common
- 33:03phrases just like barely wrong. Kind of like the guy from
- 33:06Trailer Park boys. Like. Like he would say, water under
- 33:10the fridge. That's not Andy. That's the trailer park boys.
- 33:13But the first one I noticed was he said.
- 33:17He said Kanye West was off his rocket. Rocket.
- 33:22Anyway, you tend to say didn't put one and one together,
- 33:25which that's not as bad, but it's two and two everybody knows.
- 33:30What else? I'm a person, people. Can't you just call the chef or
- 33:37something to get him out of the tickets? He's talking about a judge.
- 33:41Yeah. There's one recently. Oh. He's talking about a massage parlor.
- 33:50Did you ever read the reviews of a circle jerk joint?
- 33:54Circle jerks? He's like, yeah. You know, like a brother.
- 34:02Yeah, yeah. Here's a. Deviated septum with a good one.
- 34:15Just. Just out here watering fires. What was the other one?
- 34:20It was like when. We were doing. The kind of.
- 34:21On the count of three taking my picture. Okay. Action.
- 34:27There's a whole bunch of them. It's the only.
- 34:30Way we're gonna make a book. It's gonna be available next year.
- 34:33Uh, so you know, I am dumb as fuck. Shout out to that. I think your.
- 34:37Brain moves faster than your mouth. Yeah, that's.
- 34:39Yeah, that's why it's funny. Because it's, like, not on purpose
- 34:42or like. But it's makes me laugh. Uh, tell us the story from the last
- 34:49tour. Highlights Lowe's challenges. Um, let's talk about the challenges.
- 34:53What was the challenges from the last, this last tour that we're
- 34:55about to face? Obviously, Sean breaking his knee.
- 34:58And having to bounce. That was like, what are we gonna do?
- 35:03Finding the energy. That was feeling. The energy that show. In at talk.
- 35:06House was like, it was like. Well. And it would it it'll probably we'll
- 35:10talk about how it's a benefit to but also having like the new guys,
- 35:13um, filling in on guitar. I think that was a challenge because,
- 35:16you know, like you were like it for that element of the group.
- 35:20And just like, how is this person going to interact with us tonight?
- 35:23And I mean, overall went pretty well, but it was still us adjusting a
- 35:26little bit. You know. That was. A big. Challenge. Big challenge.
- 35:29Um we persevered. Is that a word? Persevered. Built persevered.
- 35:35One second one in the book. It's kind of a it's kind of a
- 35:41good mix of two. It's like prevail and persevere.
- 35:44Yeah, that's kind of a cool mix. So that was a veil. That was. Good.
- 35:48What's one bad habit everyone should adopt? Um, bad.
- 35:55That's a hard question. Wow. It is a hard. Everyone should. Adopt.
- 35:57Should adopt. Maybe. Shouldn't adopt. No, but. It says should. Say shit.
- 36:02No, no, no, let's make it. Shouldn't, shouldn't a job?
- 36:05Well, let's do cocaine. Cocaine? Don't do it.
- 36:10Don't do the cocaine, people. Yeah. Um.
- 36:15What about some bad habits you should adopt?
- 36:17Like, people think it's bad habits, but. I don't know. Does that.
- 36:21Is that staying up a little too late with your friends?
- 36:23Because sometimes it's actually a really good time.
- 36:25Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That is a good bad.
- 36:28That's a good bad at it. That's a good thing.
- 36:29I was going to stay up till 4 a.m.. And just talk with the bread.
- 36:33And roses. And roasted chicken. You just need to do it. Yeah.
- 36:36Sometimes you want to just buy a weird chicken from a gas station
- 36:39and hang out with your bros. Yeah, just do that. You'll.
- 36:42You'll get to know each other. No extracurriculars. Required. Yeah.

- 38:43I thought he used to be good at faces, and now it's like, nope,
- 38:46I'm bad at names and faces now. Someone I like that Vince
- 38:50Herrmann said. He's like, someone said like Vince,
- 38:53you can't remember. Like,
- 38:53why didn't you remember my name? And he's like. He's like, I'm not.

- 39:00I'm just full. Like, my brain is full.
- 39:02I've met so many people. Like, I have no more room to
- 39:05remember. It's like. Facebook. You can only have 5000 friends.
- 39:09Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Um, I like that. I like this one.
- 39:19Hold on. I just had it here. Um, here it is. Hold on.
- 39:24Where is it? Did I miss place it? How did we meet Floyd?
- 39:31So I can I tell the story? Yeah. Okay. So? So Shaun.
- 39:35Knew Floyd because they used to play in bands back in the day.
- 39:37In Sean's. Old band. And Floyd's old band used to
- 39:39play together. And our bass player,
- 39:42we were looking for a bass player for a while, and we're coming in
- 39:45and tuck it and he goes. I got. A guy, he's coming out.
- 39:47He's a great player. He's a great player.
- 39:48He's going to come in. We're great. We're in the.
- 39:50Band House of the Chicken Box, and I look in the back door and I go,
- 39:55dude, there's a homeless guy trying to come into the band house.
- 39:58I thought Floyd was homeless the first time I met him because he
- 40:02was wearing, like, a torn jacket, a beard growing out, and he
- 40:05smelled like he smelled fucking. So. Well, we met him through.
- 40:10We met him through Sean. Sean, Sean brought him around. And.
- 40:13Made him stick to us. Kind of. Yeah. And, uh, I thought, now we can't
- 40:17get rid of the motherfucker. Just like that odor. Um, yeah. Floyd.
- 40:23Uh, also, Floyd, the reason why Floyd is in town is because he
- 40:26is taking his kid to school. He's taking his kid to school. Yeah.
- 40:29It's really he's really good, dad. Um. Oh, yeah. Here's one.
- 40:33I like this one. Um, there's. This is the.
- 40:37Being on the road is tough. What is something that brings
- 40:40you joy on a daily basis? I'm saying food. Ooh, food.
- 40:46We all get so excited when we say, what are we gonna eat today?
- 40:48Yeah, yeah, yeah. And also, I think like, that brings
- 40:51us together. We all have dinner. Together. When. We get on the bus.
- 40:53We're all cooking food. Together and. Like watching a TV or whatever.
- 40:57It's just like a chance for us to all get together. And I. Think it's. One.
- 41:00Of my favorite things to do is just follow you guys to like
- 41:02whatever restaurant. We're go. It's like, I never know.

- 41:12I mean, the ones that I've met, they all. Like the. Food.
- 41:14It's like, you know, it's a joy that we get to hold on to. Yeah.

- 45:42Not nothing from the start to the sentence.
- 45:44I don't like the way you talk. And I like the way you sing.

- 48:12He asked um, dead or alive, who would you want. To. Do a duet with.
- 48:17Somebody. About a female artist? I would probably have to say,
- 48:21uh. Uh, Levon Helm. Oh, that's a good one.
- 48:24A good one or, um, girl wise, I'd probably say Etta James.
- 48:30That's great. What about. You guys? Answers. Um, I don't know.
- 48:33To James a great one. You had Etta James and Doctor John.
- 48:36Ooh. That'd be sick. What about, like,

- 57:27which is, you know, like rookie move and started going home and
- 57:30this cop started following me. Um, and I made it all the way to
- 57:34my house, which was like not even a mile away. Park.
- 57:37I'm in front of my house, parked, and I'm getting my things out of the car.
- 57:40The car is already off and I start opening my door.
- 57:42And then the cop who was just sitting behind me this decided to put
- 57:45his lights on because he's like, oh well, he must be home.
- 57:48He comes up and makes me do like a breathalyzer,
- 57:50or he makes me do the whole, like, kind of like test. I'm in flip flops.
- 57:54I was about to get Lasik, so I was wearing glasses that were like,
- 57:56barely fit me and just like, didn't work very well and did
- 57:59this whole sobriety test thing. And he like, arrested me and
- 58:03made me go do a breathalyzer, which was broken in Durango.
- 58:06So he had to drive an hour while I'm handcuffed in the. Back of.
- 58:09A cop car to Ignacio, Colorado, to to use their breathalyzer machine.
- 58:14And by the time I got over there, I was like 0.01 or whatever,
- 58:19like the minuscule amount to be just over the little baby DUI amount
- 58:23that was just barely over that. And so I had to go to court and some,
- 58:28some like, you know, like lifer was like, oh, hey,
- 58:30make sure you get a public defender. As I was going up to kind of say
- 58:32my thing. And I did and I shout out to
- 58:35Mary Perreault, attorney at law. Thank you. Thanks, Mary.
- 58:40Pia reviewed all the video footage and saw that the guy had.
- 58:42No reason to actually pull me over or arrest me or do any of the things,
- 58:46and then she straight up, she told me this because she was so proud.
- 58:48She was like, and then I told the prosecutor, she's like, we can
- 58:51take this to an actual jury trial. But have you you have you seen
- 58:53my client clean record? You want to do that?
- 58:56And he's like, cool, we can settle out of court.
- 58:58So I didn't get the DWI, nothing. I had to plead to, uh, my taillight
