Nick Gerlach & Drew Birch on Dean Cain Going ICE, Andy's Kid Fans & Ice Cube's 0% Movie · Andy Frasco's World Saving Podcast

0:00
Dean Cain. Do you see this? Oh, yeah. I didn't even know who that was
0:03
until you mentioned that. So he played Superman, like,
0:05
30 years ago? Yeah. And now he's like a Trump guy.
0:08
He's like the new Scott Baio. Yeah. He kind of looks like Scott Baio.
0:11
Yeah, it's like. He like, looks like if Scott
0:13
Baio was on steroids, he's like, signing up for ice.
0:15
He's like, going to be an Ice agent. Yeah, I saw that.
0:17
And his dad's an immigrant. His dad's like a Japanese immigrant.
0:20
His last name. His last name. Dean Cain's last name is Tanaka.
0:24
Wow. Dean George tanaka. So? So he's an immigrant.
0:28
And then also, the irony of that is, like, Superman is like the
0:30
ultimate illegal alien. Yeah. He played an illegal alien.
0:34
Made all the money off of it. I don't know, it's so weird when,
0:36
like, actors, like, come out for any politician,
0:39
but especially Trump, it's like, what's wrong with you, dude?
0:41
Yeah, I don't know anything about him. He's just like a handsome guy.
0:44
It wasn't even called Superman. It was called Lois and Clark.
0:47
He wasn't even the first. He wasn't even the first character
0:50
listed in the show. Boom! We're here. Andy Fresco's world saving podcast.
0:58
Andy's not here. He's here? Yeah, he is here. We should. Yeah.
1:03
We need to put a giant picture of him there, don't we?
1:05
There's gonna be one. It'll be great. Do you think we'll be able to
1:08
find any embarrassing pictures of Andy on the worldwide internet?
1:11
I don't know. I don't know. Probably. Speaking of Andy,
1:14
we had a show we opened for him last week at the Levitt Pavilion.
1:17
Guess what I found out the other day, my friend. What's that?
1:19
I'm not gonna say her name because she's a good,
1:21
normal person with a real job, but she's on the board there. Mhm.
1:25
Over there at Levitt Pavilion. Okay. And she said that we that was the
1:30
most tickets they've ever had there. Okay. Gerlach bumps still in effect.
1:33
Here we go baby. It's because of you and me. Yeah.
1:36
It's because of you and me. Frescoes band is getting really good.
1:38
How much merch did you sell? I sold $0, but I didn't lose any
1:42
money because I didn't bring any. Yeah, so I think Andy sold about
1:45
$3 million of merch. Um, but, uh,
1:49
his band's getting pretty wild, huh? Yeah. Um. This is insane.
1:53
I remember they used to be like a bar blues band.
1:55
Yeah, they used to come through, uh, Arkansas. Yeah. Yeah.
1:58
Didn't he live there for a while? I think so.
2:00
I think he lived in Fayetteville, but I'm not sure.
2:02
Is he the first person in history to move from LA to Arkansas?
2:05
Fayetteville? Fayetteville? Who was that guy?
2:09
Uh, he's a basketball player from Arkansas. Not I can't remember.
2:14
It doesn't matter. There's a couple. Are you talking about the white Kobe?
2:17
Whatever they call it? No, not. Oh, no. He is dope, though.
2:19
He's one of the cold ass white boys of this year, right? Yeah.
2:22
But I'm talking about, uh, I think he's been on the pod.
2:24
It doesn't really matter, but, uh, the show is pretty dope.
2:27
Uh, there was, like, 7000 people there.
2:29
Uh, a lot of kids. There's children. I'm trying to realize that Andy
2:34
might be like the 12 year old boys. Like dream.
2:39
Yeah, the band, the whole band, I think. Yeah, but especially Andy.
2:41
Did you see when he had that? Were you out there when he had that
2:44
kid on stage, or were you backstage? I was, I was backstage.
2:46
Backstage singing piano songs. Yeah, that was fun.
2:49
I walked in and you guys were just, like, singing, uh,
2:51
I think Lionel Richie or something. Or maybe that's what got me off the
2:55
couch. They were singing Dream On. And when they got to the high part.
2:57
Dream, I I was about to. I was wanting to take a nap.
3:00
It was a legendary hang because it was like all the homies.
3:02
Barbara was the one of three. That's the girl indie rock band.
3:05
They opened up. They were. They were actually rip.
3:07
Yeah, they're getting better. I always like their songs, but now
3:09
they're getting better at playing live. Yeah, they had percussion.
3:12
They had E man on the on the guitar crushing.
3:15
He left early to go to tech. He left right after the set to.
3:18
Go to a gig. No, he went to Tedeschi Trucks.
3:21
Oh, over at Red rocks. That sounds pretty sick, actually.
3:24
Yeah. But, yeah, it was killing. Andy's band is like.
3:27
It's crazy how much. I mean, I used to kind of think
3:30
they were just, like, a fine, you know, like ten years ago.
3:32
They were like a fun band. But now they're getting, like,
3:34
good. They're like. They're like, tight. Yeah.
3:36
And they have, like, real songs and it's like kind of
3:38
hitting with people. But it is funny the way,
3:40
like 12 year old boys just look at him like. Oh yeah.
3:43
They look at him the way I look at like, John Coltrane.
3:45
Yeah, well, that was like the moment when I was playing with
3:47
Sean when I got up there. Yeah, because there was, uh,
3:50
I was just kind of, I don't know, I couldn't hear myself. Yeah.
3:52
Super quick tune. Very loud up. There. Yeah.
3:55
And I was like, oh, man, I don't know if I have the energy for this.
3:58
And then I look out in the crowd and there's just like two kids,
4:00
like ten year olds with, like, Oakley sunglasses.
4:03
Like, just like they just got off the lake or something. Yeah.
4:05
And they're both just staring at me and Sean playing together and
4:08
they're like, yeah, can you. And I was like, oh,
4:10
that was like a drug. I was like, okay, dude. Yeah, it is.
4:12
Because, like, yeah, the crowd can give you that adrenaline.
4:14
But it's also like. Especially children.
4:16
I guess I just haven't. Yeah, exactly.
4:18
There's something about children. Anyway.
4:19
Uh uh, but there's like, it's like, kind of wild, like,
4:22
because all the shows I've played with him usually are like
4:24
at Mission Ballroom or whatever, like, or Ogden or some shit.
4:28
And it's like, so it's like 18 or 21 and up. Yeah.
4:31
So I never get to see I knew that he had a lot of kid fans because
4:33
he has a lot of parent fans. And I was thinking, man,
4:36
that is such a cash cow thing. Because if you get like the 12
4:39
year old boy to like you and then you have to both parents have to.
4:42
It's like Sesame Street live basically.
4:44
Yeah, with drugs and alcohol. But I mean, I wonder if he's gonna
4:48
maybe he like whatever generation that is will start drinking again
4:51
because they grew up going to Andy Frasco shows. I think it's cyclical.
4:54
Yeah. It's like Gen Z and. Gen Z's being a bunch of pussies
4:57
about drinking. You've been reading about this?
4:58
Yeah, I don't know. I see it, I went to the show.
5:00
Oh, yeah. It was just. Everybody's just, like, kind of
5:02
standing there. It was honestly nice. How sick was that show, though?
5:05
I was it was incredible. Like, what? Was it sold out, right?
5:09
Yeah. At where? Um. Fillmore. Fillmore. Yeah.
5:14
So that's like, what, 4000 people, maybe. Yeah. So what?
5:17
They probably did, like, $87 in sales at the bar?
5:22
No, that's like one drink there. Yeah, the Live Nation.
5:25
I've noticed the. 21 bucks for a single, uh,
5:28
a single, like liquor. Yeah, that's why I like mission.
5:30
The drinks are cheaper there. Yeah. AG, just so you guys know.
5:33
AG cheaper drinks than Live Nation. Yeah. 21 bucks for a single is wild.
5:38
Yeah, that's basically a crime. Yeah. If I go to yacht club and I get
5:43
a and I get a tequila soda, it shouldn't be less.
5:46
Gonna have, like, grass from Japan. It shouldn't be $7 less than. Yeah.
5:51
Some, like, guy that just got out of prison making me a drink
5:54
at a Live Nation venue. And they're always bothered by you.
5:58
Yeah, right. Whenever you get a drink at a
5:59
concert, they act like they're doing you a favor. Which I guess they are.
6:01
But it's like you're also at work. You know, I'm going to tip you.
6:03
How much do you tip it? Like a place like Fillmore.
6:05
If you got a $20 drink, it's hard. I got it. I just can't not tip 20%.
6:09
Yeah. Sometimes I'll do 15. I'm not gonna lie.
6:12
I mean, I ain't mad at you, but, like, my. $22.
6:14
I got a service industry wife, so. I do. Too. That's true. And they get.
6:17
She gets mad if I don't. Tip the same. Yeah. It's weird.
6:19
Well, maybe mine's a little bit rebellious. It depends on their race.
6:22
I'm just kidding. Yeah, so Andy riffed.
6:26
I mean, he's gonna blow up I think. I think he's he's starting.
6:30
He's blown out. Have you seen his eyes blown out.
6:34
It was pretty wild. The lightning storm kind of ruined
6:36
soundcheck, but that's all right. We didn't need one.
6:38
We only have two guys in the band. Yeah. We have. Yeah.
6:41
And then we only got one guy in the band.
6:42
We used all their gear and we had a rehearsal.
6:44
Like, we literally rehearsed, like, five minutes away for half an hour,
6:47
like, right. Before that doesn't, you know,
6:49
doesn't need a lot of rehearsal. No. We're so sick. We don't.
6:52
My favorite part was, uh, me telling Tommy I was like,
6:55
you know, I just love this band. It's like, it's it's easy.
6:57
The songs are easy, and Tommy's looking at me, you know,
6:59
playing bass with his feet. Yeah, yeah. It's so easy.
7:01
Just know he was just like. What do you mean it's easy?
7:04
I was like, I was like, ah, yeah. Sorry, I didn't read the room on
7:06
that one. He's over there. Like he's contorting his face
7:08
because he's trying to play a solo comp and play bass with his feet.
7:12
And he's like. That's so funny. I'm like, yeah, man,
7:14
it's so easy. It's so easy. By the way, Tommy,
7:18
you get did you see that thing I posted the other day of me?
7:20
Like looking at him on the organ? Oh, that was good. And loving him.
7:22
I was. Like, I need. That when you only have to pay a.
7:25
Guy. When you pay the guy the same to
7:26
do two jobs. Yeah. Tommy's goaded. Not sure he even understands how
7:31
money works anyway, so you can pretty much pay him whatever you. Want.
7:33
Even if he did, I don't think he would care.
7:34
No, he's he's great. He's the man. But yeah, that show was killing.
7:37
I can't wait to, uh, play again with that band,
7:40
but I don't know. Yeah. When's the. Next. I don't think Andy's show.
7:43
I don't know, I'm working on it. It's tough right now out there, man.
7:46
It's a war zone trying to get jobs. Mhm. Um. Dunkirk.
7:49
I don't think Andy's playing Denver for like a year.
7:51
That's kind of how it goes huh. Yeah. Usually it's like.
7:54
Didn't they just get off tour? Yeah, the last finishing tour right
7:57
now. That's why we're doing this. Oh, Andy. Andy's not here.
8:01
He's in like, they're playing all these, like, weird, like,
8:04
towns you've never heard of in, like, Delaware and like Long Island
8:07
because they were playing all these, like, beach.
8:08
It's like the equivalent of doing, like, a mountain run, but. Okay.
8:11
But on the beach. So more kids. Um, I don't know.
8:15
Just rich people. Yeah, probably. But I don't know if they're like,
8:18
in bars or like, or whatever, but they're probably crushing.
8:20
I think they're like mostly sold out. I'm sure it's kind of annoying
8:23
how successful he's getting. I know he just keeps winning
8:26
every turn. Every time I talk to him,
8:28
he's got some new success. He's probably like, you don't
8:31
see all the losses, Nick. No. There was I mean,
8:34
that's the thing with Andy. Like, he has a lot of, like, haters
8:36
right now because he's successful. And that's how white dudes are.
8:38
Other musicians, you know, all they do is like to complain, and.
8:41
That's how you know you're making it. Yeah, exactly.
8:43
But like, you know, they just got the haters.
8:45
And it's like weird when other musicians talk about him.
8:47
But it's like, yeah, but he was also poor for 15 years.
8:50
I mean he's been doing that again for, I don't know,
8:52
it's like 20 something years. Yeah, like we said,
8:54
like when you were in Arkansas. Like, how many times did you see
8:57
him when there was 15 people? I mean, he would come to Fort Smith,
8:59
the town I grew up in. Yeah, at least twice a year.
9:02
You got to be poor to play in Fort Smith.
9:04
I mean, you're not doing well if you're if you're playing Fort
9:06
Smith twice a year, you're skipping Fort Wayne.
9:08
Do you ever go through Fort Wayne? I mean, I grew up in Fort Wayne and
9:11
I played there like three times. What's the venue there?
9:13
It's called the Brass Rail. Well, now they have a couple cool
9:16
venues because Sweetwater bought a couple. Okay. Sweetwater.
9:20
Yeah, they're based there. Yeah. The guy. That's Fort Wayne.
9:22
He's a legendary guy. He does a lot for the community,
9:24
I guess, but everybody kind of still hates him because he's rich.
9:26
It's like one of those things. Okay, but he helps people.
9:29
Um, the show was pretty. I don't know, it was like,
9:33
it's kind of just surreal. Like I was saying, seeing, like,
9:35
kids freak out about, I don't I don't know, man.
9:39
I don't I didn't have that when I was little.
9:41
Like, I feel like I didn't go to concerts like that.
9:44
And there wasn't there wasn't a Andy Frasco when I was 12.
9:46
No, I mean, the youngest. I mean, I saw Ringo Starr.
9:49
I thought that was. That's pretty cool.
9:50
But that he was like my first rock and like,
9:52
rock star experience. Right. But he's like so famous and he's
9:55
like, not like like it's just a little bit different than Frank
9:57
Fresco's. Like a surreal thing. Yeah, I love that.
10:00
We're just talking about Andy on his own podcast. He's not here.
10:02
He's gonna love it. Miss you, miss you.
10:07
We miss you, Andy. And we love you. No, but it was sick.
10:09
Thanks, Andy, for having us on the show.
10:11
Yada yada yada. Your band's good now. No, you're always good.
10:15
But you're really good now. How did you.
10:18
Did you like the violin edition? Yeah. She's fucking badass.
10:21
Amazing. Yeah, she showed me. We went down to Georgia.
10:24
Just went hard. I know that song goes hard no matter
10:26
what. No, she was kind of tired. Man. I have not been sleeping well lately.
10:30
What happened? I don't know, I just sometimes I
10:32
have insomnia. That was funny. You sent me that weird voicemail,
10:36
like, to this message at two. I don't even remember it.
10:38
And I liked it. And you're like, sorry.
10:40
I was on the. What's Lunesta? It's just a sleep aid.
10:42
I take them every now and then. Is it like Xanax?
10:44
No, no, it's more like, um, what's the, um, the sleep aid?
10:48
That's, uh, kind of dangerous. People party on it. Ambient.
10:51
It's kind of like an ambient a little bit. So it is prescription?
10:53
Yeah. It's prescription. Is it a so is it a barbiturate
10:56
or Xanax? No, it's like some Gaba inhibitor.
10:58
I don't really know. But it it makes you feel really nice.
11:00
And you'll get on Amazon. And does. It. Work? Yeah.
11:04
Like how long does it take you to knock out.
11:05
Uh, I don't know, like 30 minutes. You can't drive on it.
11:09
No, you can hang out on it. That's the problem.
11:11
Oh, that's why people like to, like, drink on it a little bit.
11:13
Yeah. I don't know about that. I don't know about Lunesta,
11:16
but Ambien for sure. Oh, yeah, I've heard about.
11:18
That's what Tiger Woods got. Remember Tiger Woods. Oh yeah. He.
11:21
He like got caught cheating and like. Wrecked. His. Car on it.
11:24
Yeah he had like. A bad thing. He hasn't problem sleeping I guess
11:28
from all the money. Uh, but it. Does help you sleep. I was.
11:32
I was up watching like, tick tock, like, whenever I can't sleep,
11:34
you know, I just, like, look at the internet. Oh. It's brutal.
11:36
It's because you get in like a fucking, like, uh,
11:40
a vortex of where you can't stop watching the the tick tock.
11:43
So, like, they keep you up. Yeah. I get really bad at when I start
11:46
to get tired. I'll put it on my chest and then
11:48
I'll just scroll. I'll listen to it. And I'm like, is this long form?
11:52
Yeah, it's this long murder mystery. There's an ad. I know that guy.
11:55
He's a music instructor, and I'm just not looking at anything.
11:58
And that's when I know you're that's you're like a cyborg.
12:01
Or it's like a musician complaining about Spotify or something.
12:03
Or how the music industry. Yeah. I'm like,
12:06
I'm kind of like I said earlier, I'm sick of the complaining musicians.
12:08
It's literally the best time it's ever been in history to be
12:11
a musician right now. Well, yeah, I mean,
12:13
it's definitely sucks. Yeah. I don't think it's ever been amazing.
12:17
But it's like all the people I see complaining.
12:18
It's all go listen to their music. And I'm like, oh yeah, okay,
12:21
maybe it's not Spotify. Yeah. But like, their take will be like,
12:24
you have to pay to get on stuff now. You gotta. Yeah.
12:27
Like you have to pay to get on. Average always been like that. Yeah.
12:30
You just have more of an opportunity. I mean, you can make an entire
12:32
record in your in your room. In your basement. Yeah.
12:35
Daniel Oak is a monster. But like, also the platform does
12:40
kind of help people. I don't know, but I was watching and
12:43
I was watching stuff about movies, and I was watching this thing
12:45
about this new World of Worlds movie with Ice Cube in it.
12:48
It's got a zero on Rotten Tomatoes right now. Oh wow.
12:51
Rotten tomatoes I feel like kind of lost its.
12:53
I mean, I don't doubt that I lost a little bit of credibility
12:55
over the last few years. I feel like they got bought out
12:57
a little bit. I like the audience score.
12:59
Audience score is good. Yeah, yeah. So it's getting fat zeros.
13:01
But actually I kind of like fat zeros.
13:04
I'm like more interested in seeing like a movie that gets
13:07
zero stars than a movie that gets like 30 stars or 30 out of 100,
13:11
you know what I'm saying? Like, just be so bad that, like,
13:15
I don't know, it's like kind of like how I like Limp Bizkit more than,
13:18
like, train. Yeah, true. Although Limp Bizkit kind of slaps,
13:22
but like some equivalent of like, people do think they suck,
13:24
but they actually rule. But like, yeah,
13:25
it's like at least it's something. But apparently the whole movie
13:28
is like just Ice cube on zoom. On zoom. Yeah. And there's like.
13:31
A ton of zoom meetings or a new drug. Like, like that's how he is.
13:33
He's just like sitting in a computer the whole time.
13:36
And it's and it's just like stacked with product placements.
13:39
And like, there's one part where, like, an Amazon driver is the
13:42
only person that can save. Okay. Save the situation.
13:45
Oh, wait, I heard about this. Yeah. So I got a zero.
13:48
Got a fat fucking big goose egg, man. It's like a no hit.
13:50
It threw it, got thrown a no hitter against it. Wow.
13:54
But imagine like I don't know but I. Oh wait, I saw the, um. Yes.
13:58
Uh, there's a snippet of him. Did you see the snippet of him?
14:01
Like reading basically reading a script.
14:03
It's some like backstory where they're like, zooming into these
14:05
cameras and he's legitimately just reading off a script.
14:08
He's like, you have to watch it. It's very good. I will watch it.
14:12
It sounds very it's very bad acting. The best were people like, oh,
14:15
Ice Cube's so screwed, his career is over.
14:17
It's like he's got $300 million. Probably. He was in. He's in.
14:21
Are we there yet? You know how much money that made?
14:23
Yeah. He's fine. I don't think at a certain point
14:25
you probably just don't care. He's kind of one of my favorite.
14:27
He's sort of like an underrated rapper now at this point.
14:29
Like Ice Cube's like maybe it's. Oh yeah.
14:32
He like is kind of because he's like was so early. Yeah.
14:35
The people kind of forget about him from NWA,
14:37
but he was kind of a badass. And then he kind of went like to
14:39
doing like dad movies. He sort of turned into like Chevy
14:42
Chase for a minute. Mhm. Whatever. That movie was wearing the life
14:46
jacket. What is that one? Are we there yet? Right.
14:48
I don't know, I don't even know what that is.
14:50
It's like from that whole, like, Robin Williams did the RV movie,
14:52
and then there's, like the vacation. It's like there's a bunch of
14:54
road trip movies like that, like we're the Millers.
14:57
But yeah, he like, does that. And then, I don't know,
14:59
he must have got a bag to do The War of the worlds.
15:01
Yeah, but I wonder why they remade that. The the Spielberg.
15:04
I think it's Spielberg, the Tom cruise one. Oh yeah.
15:06
From like oh six. That was hitting. Yeah I don't. Know I don't know.
15:11
It's not my bag. No, no. I like good movies.
15:15
My favorite movie is War War World War two documentaries. It used to be.
15:21
I like to watch Germans die. Mhm. Um what was I going to talk
15:26
about that was really. That was pissing me off today.
15:29
Oh yeah. Dean Cain, you see this shit?
15:31
Oh, yeah. I didn't even know who that was
15:32
until you mentioned that. So he played Superman like 30
15:35
years ago. Yeah. And now he's like a Trump guy.
15:38
He's like the new Scott Baio. Yeah,
15:40
he kind of looks like Scott Baio. Yeah, it's like he like, looks like
15:42
if Scott Baio was on steroids. Like if Scott Baio was an like an
15:46
alpha. He's like signing up for ice. He's like going to be an Ice agent.
15:49
Yeah, I saw that. And his dad's an immigrant,
15:50
I saw that. Everybody's dad,
15:52
you know what I mean? I know, but like,
15:53
his dad's like a Japanese immigrant. His last name? Look at his last name.
15:56
His real last name is like, something.
15:57
Yeah, my phone's gonna die if I do that, but that's actually
16:00
makes it even funnier. But, you know,
16:01
they're not going after. They're not going after Asians,
16:03
are they? No they don't. There's a certain kind of
16:07
immigrant they're going after. What's his. Name? Dean Cain.
16:10
Dean Cain. He's from. So he hasn't done anything.
16:12
This is related to Herman? I don't think so. No.
16:16
Remember Herman. Remember Herman? Was he the guy that was.
16:18
No, that was Howard Dean. Howard Dean. And he, like, was. Yeah.
16:22
He won the Iowa primary, and he. That was so good.
16:25
We didn't do him last week on what jam band he would like.
16:27
The politician. Dean Cain's last name is Tanaka.
16:30
Wow. Dean George Tanaka. So? So he's an immigrant.
16:35
And then also the irony of that is, like, Superman is like the
16:37
ultimate illegal alien. Yeah, he played an illegal alien.
16:41
Made all the money off of it. I don't know, it's so weird when,
16:43
like, actors, like, Huck out for any politician, but especially Trump.
16:47
It's like, what's wrong with you, dude? Like you, I don't know.
16:52
It's like, what? And I was thinking, like, uh, Ice
16:55
agents. Have you seen this new ad? They're trying to get people to
16:57
sign up. Uh,
16:59
like the ones on Twitter and stuff. Well, no, they're like, yeah,
17:01
they're, like, trying to get people to be Ice agents, and they're
17:03
giving all these incentives like, you make 85 K, you make more than
17:05
a third grade teacher in like an inner city public school,
17:08
you get like a $50,000 sign on bonus and like $60,000 off your
17:11
student loans. So here's my idea. I want every person with student
17:16
loans to sign up to be an Ice agent. Do nothing until they get their
17:20
student loans or whatever. What is it called?
17:24
Uh, reimbursed or whatever. Yeah. Do nothing until their student
17:27
loans forgiven. Do nothing until they get their
17:29
student loans forgiven, and then everybody just quit.
17:32
Yeah, it's basically what most cops do.
17:34
Or everybody join Ice and then just be like, hey, I don't know.
17:39
You got anything to eat in there? What? Can I borrow a cup of sugar?
17:41
Yeah. That'd be funny. I don't know, man. It's just, uh.
17:46
He was on, like, Jesse Watters today. Just like.
17:49
It's weird how smug they all are about it.
17:51
Like, you don't have it figured out. You're fucking. I looked it up.
17:53
He actually went to Princeton. Oh, wow. You wouldn't think so.
17:56
He's kind of a dumbass. Yeah, I don't know anything about
17:58
him. He's just like a handsome guy. It wasn't even called Superman.
18:02
It was called Lois and Clark. He wasn't even the first hombre.
18:05
Yeah, exactly. He wasn't like the first.
18:08
He wasn't even the first character listed in the show.
18:10
Oh. I don't. Know. He does kind of look like, uh. What?
18:13
What did you say he looked like? You said a little more alpha.
18:16
Scott Baio with if he worked. Out. What happened to him? Remember?
18:19
He also trumped out, remember during, like, the premier, uh,
18:22
Republican National Convention, he was like, yeah,
18:25
Scott Baio from, uh, happy Days. Scotty B Charles in charge.
18:29
Yeah. Charles in charge of. Yeah. Of fart votes.
18:35
Of our votes and our taxes. I thought you were talking about
18:40
you said Scott Baio, and I went, Mario Lopez. Oh, no. But he.
18:43
I think he also kind of jumped out a little bit. That's what I thought.
18:45
Which is even funnier because he's obviously.
18:47
Remember he used to do the, um, does he still do the, um,
18:50
beauty pageants? You remember that famous clip, the.
18:53
Oh, yeah. The girl who was, uh. What did he do again?
18:56
I don't know, just interviewed that girl on stage.
18:58
Yeah, but what did he ask her? Something weird or something?
19:00
I think he asked her something pretty normal. Oh, and she.
19:02
Oh, she freaked out. She. Yeah. She, like, couldn't talk, right?
19:05
Yeah. And now. She's called it the Iraq and such as.
19:08
The Iraq and such as. She's probably just nervous.
19:10
She's super nervous. She's probably married. To.
19:12
I think she held it down pretty. It was okay.
19:14
It was actually one of the worst videos on the internet for four
19:16
years. She's probably a Republican
19:18
congresswoman now or something. Yeah. Yeah, that's how that works.
19:22
She's in the Senate now. Well, a lot of. Things, such as.
19:26
Politics this week. So here's. Yeah. Everybody sign up for ice.
19:30
Get your bonus, I wonder I wonder how long it takes
19:33
to get the bonus. I don't know. Usually they don't just give it
19:38
to you the first day. You usually have to work there
19:39
for six months or something. Yeah, maybe they take it,
19:42
make it take as long as, uh, takes to get citizenship here.
19:45
So it could. Be like. 12 years. Yeah. It's like impossible now,
19:48
actually. Yeah. My whole family's immigrants,
19:51
and, uh, they all. It took them forever. Yeah.
19:54
Really? My mom is. Just. Kidding. Not my whole family, but a lot
19:57
of them. Are they from Ireland? But I was thinking Germany.
20:00
Uh, Scotland. England. France. Yeah. That tracks. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
20:03
Honky. The honky nations. Honks. Crackers. Berg. Cracker on you.
20:09
Born and raised. I was born and raised in Krakow
20:11
town in Krakow, Estonia. Um, yeah. Uh, but like 80 k a year to go
20:18
around, I don't know. Is that really worth, like, ruining
20:20
your entire reputation? I don't know. I was thinking like that.
20:23
Lois and Clark show. Ruined your reputation.
20:26
It's more about ruining other people's lives, but. Yeah.
20:28
Well, yeah, but I'm thinking, like, from an actor. Hollywood.
20:31
Yeah. You're right though. Yeah. It's so stupid. But, uh, it's like.
20:35
But I was thinking, like Lois and Clark hasn't been.
20:37
This might be the first time he's made 80 k a year in, like,
20:39
25 years. Yeah. He's like, that's actually a lot
20:42
of money for me. Yeah,
20:43
I don't think he's done anything. I don't know. He goes on news shows.
20:46
That's what those people do though. Like you'll notice that like there's
20:49
a certain side where the celebrities, I mean, the other side is dumb and
20:52
annoying too, but they're like, they have their own version of,
20:56
you know, signaling or whatever, but it's it's never like very
21:00
famous people supporting the right, you know. No. 80 K a year.
21:05
Pretty good for Dean Cain. It's not bad. Like what?
21:12
I can't imagine how down bad you'd have to be to be an Ice
21:16
agent or even be a cop. I'd rather be a roadie for
21:18
Metallica or something like that. I would do that. I'd rather be.
21:21
That sounds fun. I'd rather be Lars Ulrich's person.
21:23
I don't know, I heard Lars is kind of a dick, though.
21:25
I'd rather be his personal assistant. That worked for. Ice.
21:28
Oh, yeah, I guess. Yeah, that's the right choice there.
21:31
Would you rather be a janitor at a nursing home or be an Ice agent?
21:35
Yeah, I mean, we're going janitor. They might make just as much.
21:39
Yeah. 80 k a year like that. Uh, did you see.
21:42
That little poop and pee? Did you see that WNBA quote of
21:44
the lady? She's like, uh, I think Staley,
21:47
she was like, the janitor was making more than me.
21:49
I was like, I don't think that's true. Oh, yeah.
21:51
It's like, well, I'll be the janitor, I guess. Yeah. People be lying.
21:57
Anything pissing you off this week? Um, it's a good question.
22:02
I don't think so. I'm pretty content. Yeah.
22:05
You've just been making shit with your little camcorders. Mhm.
22:08
Just one looking at us right now. That's fine. Camcorder, everybody.
22:13
What a loser. Yeah. You got a lot of shit down here, man.
22:16
Every time I come it's a little bit. Now you have a whole new computer.
22:20
Mhm. Yeah. Every time I come it's a little
22:22
bit more sad down here isn't it. Like a goodwill kind of at this
22:25
point. Yeah. But goodwill where you could
22:27
resell everything and maybe make your money back. Yeah. True.
22:32
Um, she. What else is going on? I don't know,
22:40
just kind of getting ready. I'm going to Oklahoma later this
22:43
month or early next month. Yeah. Um, I'm going to Norman.
22:46
I'm going to go to the Oklahoma versus Michigan football game.
22:49
Okay. Just by yourself? No, I'm with my best friend Kit
22:51
from girl. That sounds more. Fun. Yeah, I'm just going by myself
22:54
for no reason. I spent. Six Oklahoma this time of. Year.
22:56
Oh my God. Oklahoma! Oklahoma around Labor Day.
22:59
95 degrees 95, no wind. Cigarettes, low education.
23:07
They have like one of the worst. I was looking up their shit.
23:09
They have like one of the worst education systems.
23:11
Arkansas is up there too. It's kind of it's right next to
23:13
Arkansas, isn't it? It is. Yeah. Does it touch there? Really?
23:16
Yeah. From. From where? I'm from Fort Smith originally.
23:18
Fort Smith's that close to the border. Oh, yeah.
23:21
It's a border town. It's a border. You're from a border town.
23:24
There's border agents in Oklahoma. I wonder if it was. Like a fort.
23:26
Big a boy. Are you? I wonder if it was like a fort from,
23:28
like the Arkansas Oklahoma war in 1865. It is? Yeah.
23:32
That's like, what was it, a fort of. Uh. Uh, that's a good question.
23:35
I forgot. Fort Wayne's French. Civil War. Something. Oh, yeah.
23:39
Something there. It was right on the river.
23:41
What side of the Civil War was your state on?
23:45
We should start judging people more for that, actually. Yeah.
23:48
Fort Wayne, their fort is a French and Indian war. Oh, okay. Very old.
23:54
Yeah, I should know that, but I don't.
23:55
Right on the Arkansas River, though. Fighting over raccoon pelts.
23:58
Yeah, the pelt of raccoon. We used to have real wars in
24:02
this country. Yeah. Now we just drone strike poor people.
24:06
Raccoons. It's just too easy now. It's so easy.
24:11
It's just basically it. Guys. Yeah. The military is just it, guys,
24:15
no one's gonna. Everybody's working from home now.
24:18
We just wake up late and do a drone strike. Oh, shit. My bad.
24:24
Military working. Looking. And, yeah, ice is the only thing of
24:27
the government that's not remote work anymore. It's all military.
24:30
He's working from home now. This is considered working from home,
24:35
I think. I mean, we're in your house. Yeah. Yeah. Mm. It's embarrassing.
24:41
Yeah. We don't have a lot going on. Uh,
24:44
I hope you guys are doing good there. Too. Large man in a small room.

25:48
We're here to support Gardenista. Gardenista our sponsors.
25:52
I've been substituting this from Jameson because I like the idea
25:55
that there's, uh, ginger lime juice and green herbs in this, so I kind
26:00
of feel healthy drinking this. And they got all these different
26:02
ones. Like, I was kind of nervous about
26:04
this bourbon cocktail, but it's bourbon whiskey, green herbs,
26:07
lime juice, ginger and jalapenos. Got a little spice to it,
26:10
but you put some ice in it and it's actually a cocktail.
26:13
And like, I'm not really good at proportions,
26:15
so it's already made for you. Look at this. It's cute too.
26:18
You could be on your table and be like, oh,
26:20
look at you're sophisticated. You want pop up on your on your
26:24
kitchen table or do you want something that's pretty gardenista?
26:28
Vodka cocktail. Grab it. Tell em Frasco sent you.
26:38
How many people are in the chat in volume? Some. Some people in there.
26:40
I think there's like 30 or something. No more than that because there's
26:43
also people there's people in there that weren't chatting to, oh, people
26:46
had. A lot of playing silently. People had a lot of fun.
26:48
The next one's about O.J. Simpson, so I think that'll do well. Yeah.
26:52
And then I have a round in like episode four where I read a quote,
26:55
and then it's like, you got to guess whether it's Donald Trump,
26:58
OJ Simpson or Taylor Swift that said it. Yeah, that was a good one.
27:01
It's way harder than people think it's going to be actually.
27:03
Yeah, I remember doing that one at Yacht Club. That was a tough one.
27:06
Oh yeah. You were there for that. You've been, what, three times?
27:09
That's just. 3 or 4 times. Yeah. It's where you were randomly
27:11
there for that one. Yeah. That was one of the first ones a few
27:14
years ago I think, wasn't it? Yeah. You always go when your
27:16
girlfriend's in town. Yes. Shout out. Shout out. Jani.
27:19
I just don't make it over there on Mondays. It's far. It's.
27:22
It's 25 minutes. That's pretty far on a Monday.
27:24
Also Monday. That's far to have a couple
27:27
drinks and then drive home. Yeah. Or like seven.
27:30
And you like, don't really know who's going to be there.
27:31
You don't have like a crew to go with. Yeah. Your trivia squad. Yeah.
27:35
If you show up trivia alone and, like. People play alone. Though.
27:39
Yeah I know. Well that's unfortunate. We've had two solo winners in
27:42
the last month. I should give them an extra treat if
27:46
they win a treat. Yeah. Dog bone. They got this little metal I
27:50
have on right now. Oh, okay. Where's that from? I found it today.
27:53
It's from high school. I got first place in the state
27:55
solo saxophone solo competition. Oh, wow. I like how they made it.
27:58
Very, um. I can't believe my dad. Nationalistic.
28:02
Yeah, well, it's first place. So first place USA.
28:05
Yeah, very much American to be first place, but, um, um, my dad
28:09
sent me like this, like fanny pack. He found a bunch of my shit.
28:11
There was a bunch of 50 cent coins. I actually sold them on eBay.
28:15
I got, like, 300 bucks. Oh, really? Just recently.
28:17
Yeah, like a month ago or something. Two months ago.
28:20
It was like, here's something that's been passed down for generations.
28:22
My shit from when I was a kid. Yeah, he found it in some safe.
28:25
He has probably a gun safe. And then he, uh,
28:28
he sent it all to me, and it was like I opened it up, and there's,
28:31
like, a bunch of fucking 50 cent I forgot I used to kind of get into.
28:33
I got into collecting coins for like six months when.
28:36
I was like, okay. 16. I looked it up and they were all
28:38
worth like 30 bucks a piece. I was like,
28:40
I don't want a bunch of coins. So I threw them on eBay and some
28:42
guy bought them and I sent him to very easy to ship coins. Yeah. $7.
28:47
But I had some of my state champion saxophone soloist medals. In there.
28:50
Too. Should I wear it more often? Yeah. I mean, show who you are.
28:54
I give it instead of a D instead of ID at the bar. Yeah.
28:59
They're like, okay, you can come over here. Nick.
29:01
I'm 21. See, look how old this is. This is actually a silver medal.
29:05
That's how old it is. It's gotten terrible. Hmm.
29:08
You should have thrown that in there for the guy who bought all your
29:11
coins. No, I don't want to give him. Anything that's going to be worth
29:14
one day. Um, probably $0.00. Most like everything else I own.
29:19
Yeah. Negative money. It costs you money to throw it away.
29:22
Yeah. Cost me 30 bucks to throw it away,
29:25
actually. But, uh, I didn't want it anymore.
29:28
Don't want to think about high school anymore. I'm getting old.
29:31
Yeah, that's a long time ago now. Yeah, that was back in the early 70s.
29:36
I think Carter was actually pregnant. Pregnant? Pregnant.
29:39
I don't think he's ever been pregnant. He's dead now. Yeah.
29:41
He's dead. Well, maybe he's been reincarnated.
29:44
Carter. Carter definitely would have been
29:46
a panic fan. Yeah, probably. What? What makes you say that?
29:50
Because he's from Georgia. Oh, okay. That's.
29:52
That's basically all I need is, like, one thing to make it work.
29:55
Yeah, I was gonna say I couldn't. I couldn't picture it. He's dead now.
29:58
Yeah, he lived to be 100. That's what makes him a panic fan.
30:01
He lived to be a hundred. Yeah, I saw his his last moments
30:06
in the backyard. The barbecue where he kind of
30:07
looked like the barbecue. Yeah, he was just in the chair, and.
30:10
It looked like they were taking down a statue and laying it down
30:13
to put another statue up. I don't think I want to live.
30:18
I was gonna say, I don't know. Do you want to live to be 100? No.
30:22
I mean, unless there's some some cool advancements where I can
30:24
actually be cognizant, I do not want to be in a chair
30:27
basking in the in the brightness. I've known 2 or 3 people that
30:31
have lived to be 100, and it's seems absolutely awful.
30:34
It just seems saw. Saw. Hurt, pain. You don't know what's going on
30:37
around. You know, I'm down to be here a
30:40
little bit longer. You can't just. Yeah. You can't crank hog anymore.
30:45
Yeah. True. Hopefully. I mean, maybe you. Can catheter out.
30:48
Take your bluechew, man. How old do you want to live?
30:53
How old do I want to live? Um. 48. 38. 38. How old are you now? $31 bob.
31:02
38 going on zero. Um, I don't know. You know, a good, solid life
31:07
into the late 70s. Sounds good. Depends on what happens to me.
31:10
I mean, I know people that, you know, turn 50 and they get
31:13
dementia or dementia. The first three years of dementia,
31:17
I had a couple family members get it. It was pretty funny for a minute.
31:19
And then it gets real sad. Yeah, it's pretty funny when they
31:22
kind of just get kind of loopy and they're just like, it's like
31:24
they've had two beers all the time. Yeah, but then it gets real sad
31:27
at the end. Who are you? Yeah. You used to be funny.
31:32
You weren't racist before. Why did you get racist from dementia?
31:35
Yeah, that can happen. It does happen.
31:37
And then people reset on your brain. You gotta take out the thing and
31:42
blow in it and put. It back in. I need a new cartridge. Yeah.
31:46
Damn. What have you got? You got any shows coming up?
31:49
Uh, yeah. Playing with, um. Flamingos.
31:52
Oh, doing, um, doing our new record that comes out in September at,
31:57
um, Levitt and then. Oh, you are. You're playing Levitt? Yeah.
32:00
Flamingos. With who else? Um, who else is on that show?
32:03
It's a good question. Who? When is it?
32:06
Um, that's also a good question. Uh, August 12th, I think. Nope.
32:10
August 12th. Yeah. Like this. This weekend. September 12th.
32:13
Yeah. Excuse me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. September 12th. Are you.
32:17
Is he doing live? The full band? 16th, maybe. Uh, yeah.
32:20
It's just it's just, uh, Gilly and I. So. Yeah. Keys and guitar.
32:25
We're gonna play the full record comes out also that same day,
32:27
the 6th August 16th, I believe. I think I'm gonna.
32:30
I might come to that. I might be out of town.
32:31
We're doing like. I think that might be fluss.
32:33
And, um. At Red. Rocks. No, at Dillon, I think it might
32:37
be fluss somebody else. I'm not going to Dillon for Fluss.
32:39
I mean, I love those guys. We'll be there.
32:41
I'd rather go see Flamingo. We'll be there.
32:44
Well, you just said you're playing Levitt. You're doing.
32:46
Levitt. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Wow. Back to back. What are we gonna do?
32:50
It's so hot out. I don't know. We're under a heat advisory.
32:53
Which we are. Yeah, which? It's like 90, which is kind of weird
32:56
for here. No, it's 99 right now. Oh. Is it? Yeah, dude. Wow.
33:00
It's brutally oppressive. Hot, A+. Oppressive. Well, it's 96 now.
33:06
It's starting to go down because it's 4 p.m..
33:08
But, yeah, Julie's working Rufus to Seoul all weekend.
33:11
That being they rep. It's a three guys.
33:14
I didn't know that. Yeah. Is it like a band?
33:16
I mean, yeah, I think I mean, not a band, but. It's like a DJ band.
33:19
It's like DJ band. Yeah, those are kind of dying off,
33:21
remember? Like, every band had, like,
33:22
a guitar player and a drummer and a guy in Ableton. Yeah.
33:24
Well, funds went down. Now it's been. Yeah.
33:27
I think people either want to hear a band or they want to hear the.
33:30
Yeah, flamingos. This will work with that.
33:32
But like if you're making bangers, it's like the drums are already
33:35
kind of hitting. I think that that's kind of the
33:38
drummers can kind of kind of ruin the vibe there.
33:41
I know, but they don't want to hear it.
33:42
And because they always bitch about it too.
33:44
Yeah, because I think some people think that leveling up their show.
33:47
No, not always. It can work. But leveling up your show
33:48
doesn't always, you know, need to have a drummer.
33:51
Sometimes it can take it takes the show away a little bit.
33:54
I 100% agree because especially if they like, they bitch.
33:57
Because like the the like the original drums are in there too.
34:01
Yeah, but it can crack for sure. But the real drums or the like,
34:05
the recorded drums crack way harder than the live drums.
34:08
And then when you try to mix them over each other,
34:10
you get this big wall of sound. It's got to be like Adam Deitch.
34:12
It's got to be like someone on that level or it doesn't work.
34:14
You know what I mean? It can't be like, whatever.
34:17
Guy just graduated from CU Boulder. Yeah, with his sonar drum set.
34:22
Sonar, sonar sonar. Sonar. Yeah. They still make those, I think.
34:28
um, should we get high and watch War of the worlds after this and
34:31
laugh at it? I'm down. Amazon Prime. What if we just started promoting
34:35
Amazon Prime? We should watch it. It's I it's one of those ones.
34:38
It's only like an hour and a half. It has. To be. Yeah.
34:40
There's no way. 3.5 hours. Like Waterworld or something.
34:44
They don't make three hour movies anymore.
34:46
We'll do, uh, Oppenheimer into, uh, World of Worlds with Ice Cube.
34:51
Ice cube. Not tea. Iced teas. The Law and Order one. Yeah.
34:54
That's right. You got law and order. He's a little better actor,
34:56
maybe. I think he is. Well, he's just been doing it,
34:59
I don't know. Is he? I think they're both bad.
35:01
Ice Cube's son, also an actor famous for playing Ice Cube.
35:05
Oh, that's right, I forgot about that. I remember that.
35:07
Yeah, yeah. What was that? Compton? No, it was like.
35:10
Yeah, straight outta Compton. Straight outta Compton.
35:12
I actually kind of like that movie. It was okay. I mean, I like N.W.A.
35:16
I watched it front row. You did? No, I didn't.
35:18
I don't really go to the theaters anymore. I don't either.
35:21
I get scared, if you know what I mean. Weird things happen. Yeah.
35:24
I don't really like it. I definitely look for exits when I do
35:27
go though. Dude, there's that one. And then there's.
35:30
Like those corny TikToks about guys who, like, my husband, always has
35:33
to sit facing the door when we go out to eat at the local Hacienda
35:36
restaurant. Man, he has trauma. In case anything pops off.
35:39
It's like, well, no, he's just like, secretly.
35:43
Yeah, he has trauma, basically. I don't want to say what I
35:45
actually say. He's scared of his father,
35:49
unfortunately. Unfortunately,
35:50
his father hit him for 30 years. He got beat well into his 30s,
35:54
came home from college, and his dad called him a pussy.
35:56
Or he was just in the military, which is his own set of trauma.
36:00
I don't know, I kind of want I want to give.
36:02
Next time I'm on the pod with Andy, I might try to see if he'll let
36:05
me call ice out live on the air and ask about the job.
36:07
Can you just call them like it's a. There's gotta be a phone number.
36:11
I mean, they want people bad right now.
36:12
What if they have, like, the operators? I thought the guys.
36:15
I thought the government was broke. Yeah, I don't know.
36:19
Yeah, I don't either. Actually, I don't. I don't.
36:20
Know, I hardly care about that stuff. It's hard.
36:22
I don't like to think about it. I care about human rights and stuff,
36:24
but I just don't. get the politics. Shit is getting so cringe. Cringe.
36:28
Good word for it. It's just like. Politics is cringe. It is cringe.
36:32
Like caring about human rights and all that shit.
36:34
It's cool, but like like just like if you,
36:37
like, have a politicians merch. Yeah, that one's a weird one.
36:42
Joe Biden T-shirt. Grown man's like, yeah.
36:45
I hardly want to wear band t shirts. Yeah.
36:47
And I'm not talking about just the Trump shit.
36:48
I'm talking about, like, if Joe Biden t shirt whoever,
36:51
it doesn't matter. It's like. That's a weird hill to die on.
36:53
How can you a flag to just a flag outside of your house? Yeah.
36:57
I mean, there's American flag. There's like a line with.
36:59
I'm talking about like, somebody's name. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
37:02
Yeah, anything but the American. You know what you should do?
37:03
Nick Gerlach flags. Oh, my God, that'd be good.
37:06
I would fly one fly. Just sell a couple of them.
37:09
I'm just picturing two giant like those boats they have, like the like.
37:12
Oh, yeah. In Florida with just. Like, huge ass. Pictures of my face.
37:16
And this would actually be pretty good. Anybody out there make flags.
37:20
Wearing the hat? I didn't notice that.
37:22
Well, they're both black. Yeah. Anybody out there make flags?
37:25
Hit me up. What would what would a flag
37:28
maker be called? There's got to be a name for it.
37:29
Some type of flag maker, a flag maker. Oh, wow.
37:33
Very creative. Guys. Wait. The study of flags is called
37:37
vexillology. Flags or just. Vexillology.
37:40
And a person who designs flags is a lexicographer. Lexicographer?
37:44
That's cool. That is pretty cool. Betsy Ross was that.
37:48
Yeah, that's the only one I know. Name?
37:51
That would be a trivia name, a famous lexicographer.
37:54
It's gotta be Betsy Ross. And that's. It.
37:56
I can't name one other person that's ever made a flag.
37:58
Yeah, I have no idea. Have you ever purchased a flag?
38:01
I don't think so. Like, I wouldn't even know where
38:04
to buy a flag. I don't know. You have to.
38:06
I think, truly, you have to stand for something
38:08
pretty heavy to purchase a flag. I guess you could probably just
38:11
Google it and just find 1 in 5 minutes.
38:13
Yeah, eBay probably has lots of flags.
38:14
Walmart probably is loaded with flags.
38:16
Walmart has American flags you could probably buy like a avalanche flag.
38:20
You could probably buy. Yeah, down at the Colorado Stadium.
38:23
Yeah. The Colorado Avalanche stadium. Won't be the new thing, though.
38:27
All the homies get flags. Yeah. We all have a flag.
38:31
Why isn't Frisco a flag? I feel like maybe he does.
38:33
He has so much merch and flags. Go. There you go. His flag company.
38:37
Boom! Don't. He's already. He already just made the.
38:40
If he's listening to this LLC, he's already made. Um, yeah.
38:46
I'll come to your show at love. I think we, I think me and Andy
38:48
might be out of town. There's a rumor we're going to go.
38:51
I don't want to say it on here in case it doesn't happen, but we're
38:52
going to be like the official. Yeah, the official pod for, like,
38:56
this big festival of country people. Oh.
38:59
I guess I get to be around some actual stars for once instead of
39:02
jam band zeros. Yeah,
39:04
who go online and complain about how Spotify makes them pay and how.
39:09
They'll be complaining about anything.
39:11
I'm so over musicians complaining. It's kind of starting to drive
39:13
me crazy. It's always like the white dudes
39:15
and it's always like. Yeah. It's always a complaint that
39:18
people have had. Like,
39:19
they act like they discovered this. Like you have to pay to
39:22
advertise these days. It's like that's been a thing
39:26
since the Stone age. Probably. You know what I mean?
39:28
Like, it's called a. You want people just to help you
39:31
out for free, right? It's also just like, yeah,
39:33
sorry. You're super nuanced. Yeah, I don't know, poetry with music
39:39
is hard to sell. I don't know. Yeah. How about you just be glad,
39:42
like you're healthy enough and alive enough and have enough free
39:45
time to even make a song. Yeah. People should be just more
39:48
stoked if they get to exist in some type of circuit in general.
39:52
I just love when people are like, guess what? Did you know this?
39:55
I swear to God, this is true. Rich people have a distinct
39:58
advantage in this country. Yeah. That's happened.
40:01
That's been I think that's literally been. In. The Bible. Gold was found.
40:04
It's like in the fucking Old Testament of the Bible.
40:06
Yeah, yeah. There was a pharaoh. You know what I mean? Yeah.
40:09
We used to pharaohs. Now we just have presidents.
40:13
Yeah, well, now at least there's a, you know, the middle class is dying,
40:16
but at least there was some sort of middle bridge there.
40:20
I used to be pharaohs, and then people who,
40:21
people who like lifted rocks. Yeah, that's going to be that again
40:23
pretty soon. Yeah. It's diminishing. Speaking of Amazon delivery drivers,
40:27
we're all going to be doing that in three years.
40:28
We're all going to be delivering each other's stuff with the
40:30
money we make working at Amazon. And then we buy it back.
40:32
I mean, three years, I don't really know. I mean, either be automated.
40:35
Yeah, it'll be bots. It'll basically be like coal mine
40:38
when they have company towns, you know. Oh yeah.
40:40
But for the company towns. But the whole country.
40:42
She lives in the company town. He lives over there in West
40:44
Virginia in the holler. And he works in the company town.
40:47
Yeah, we're going to be a company country.
40:48
I heard that, uh, Amazon factories where the humans work.
40:51
The humans, the humans work. They, uh, they keep the AC off there,
40:56
but the fans at the one where the bots and the robots work are
40:59
full blast. They got to keep them cool,
41:01
like they really do, is they have to keep the robots cool.
41:03
Yeah. They overheat. Yeah. So people are like, damn, dude.
41:06
Okay, that's actually wild. Yeah. Because people also overheat.
41:11
Mhm. Damn. I wonder if they have it like
41:12
set to a certain. They know if, like if we just keep
41:14
it right here at this degree. Yeah. They won't die. No.
41:17
They probably have it dialed into a science where if it's
41:19
like 72 it's just enough to piss you off to make you work harder.
41:22
Yeah, just enough sweat to make you like.
41:24
I can't wait to get out of here. If they make it too cozy,
41:26
they might be like. Yeah, it could be good for,
41:28
like, how we're all fat, though. Yeah, that's how I run this house,
41:32
though. Keep it 72. Make sure everybody know.
41:34
Oh, I was gonna. Say no, actually, 74,
41:36
because the basement stays at a constant 60 something, you know?
41:39
Well, as soon as I walk into a hotel room I like in Asheville,
41:42
I was in Asheville. You just go. Down, down, down. 52.
41:46
Sometimes I'm like, where? How? Where do we go?
41:48
I just get as cold as I can. And then if I get too cold,
41:50
I bring it back up. Yeah. I also am a constant fan.
41:54
Constant fans on. Constant fan of Andy Frasco.
41:57
No, I'm just kidding. Yeah. I can't really sleep without, like,
42:00
the fan noise. Yeah, you have ADHD. I need I have never been diagnosed
42:05
with anything in my life. It's like I'm.
42:06
Definitely totally normal. Yeah, I mean, it's not that I just
42:10
never try. It's like I was in. It wasn't that ADHD was, like kind
42:14
of a thing when I was in school. But yeah, now everyone has it.
42:17
I'm obviously I have something wrong with me, But like,
42:20
I'm in my 40s, they don't. It's too late. Yeah, it's too late.
42:22
What am I gonna do? Start taking Adderall? I mean, fun.
42:26
Do you hear about Nick? He became a stockbroker last week.
42:28
Yeah. He just, like, turned his whole life.
42:30
Around three months from now, I'm like. Selling flags.
42:33
You have thousands of flags. Number one,
42:35
I tech bro in the flag industry. Oh my God. So when's that? Flamingos.
42:43
This record come out, promote it. Um, then we'll wrap.
42:45
Up September 16th September 16th. Hot 40. Let me double check.
42:50
September 16th. No, let me get it right.
42:53
Uh, September 12th is when the record drops, and then, uh,
42:55
August 15th is the next single, Artificial Love, which is kind
42:59
of an ode to AI and the state of the world. And artificial. Yep.
43:07
And, um, what else? The full record comes out.
43:10
It's got like eight tracks on it. Flamingos de Estrada.
43:12
So it's, um, it's a it's a unique. I believe I'm on one of the tracks.
43:17
You are? Yeah. You got a solo and a vibe on iwi.
43:20
A little. Oh. Yeah. Oh yeah. The solos. I'm proud of that solo.
43:23
It's one of my better solos. It was a good one.
43:24
I rinsed it so many times. I don't like it anymore. Oh it sucks.
43:28
Yeah, I liked it a lot, but that's. That's not my fault. No it's not.
43:31
No, it's still a great solo. It's like, cool because it's like
43:33
I didn't have to go ham on it. No, I got to play some, like,
43:37
nice yacht rock licks. We could play it right now.
43:43
Yeah, I'm still pretty good at saxophone.
43:44
I'm doing like a bunch of weddings coming up.
43:46
I kind of like. Keep the chops. Up, take a bunch of private gigs.
43:49
They just pay so much money. Yeah. It's like hard to do that.
43:53
It's like, do I want. To weddings crush. Dude?
43:54
It's like, I know all the tunes. So just from being old and doing
43:58
them for so long, I don't have to like, like me
44:00
and Gabe are doing this weekend. He messaged me and he goes,
44:02
we got the set list. I showed you that, remember?
44:04
It was a joke. And he's. Like. Yeah, he's like, cool.
44:06
We have every chart because we have like a shared folder of charts.
44:08
Oh yeah. And you're like, okay, work's
44:10
done sick. See you at 430. Yeah. All right, that's enough of this.
44:14
All right. Goodbye, everybody. Bye bye.
