Like vampires, the ginger gene is a curse. Gingers are beautiful. You owe me $5 for the whiskey and $75 for the horse. Gingers are hell no. This whiskey is excellent. Ginger. I like gingers. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Whiskey Ginger. My guest today is one of my favorite people on Earth. I say that from my guest when I meet him once again today. It's Andy Milonakis. What's up, baby? Meh, meh, meh, meh. Uh, uh, uh, uh. Yeah, that one's good. Uh, uh, uh, uh. Cheers. Just a little sip. We're having a little sip. You're nursing an injury. Tell the people what happened. Cheers. Cheers. This building is kind of weird. There's, like, no entrance in the front. And so the Uber, like, dropped me off next to a bunch of shrubs. And I already have a fucked up leg with, like, a titanium implant in it. So I, like, get out and I, like, stumble over one of the shrubs. And it was, like, it was, like, some three stooges of shit. I don't know how I recovered and didn't fall on my ass, but it was very close. You're alive. Now I'm even more alive. Yeah, you're alive, dude. You're living. You're a living kitten. Aw, damn. How are you feeling? You'd probably be a fun guy to drink with. Hell yeah. I mean, we're drinking now, but this is a little bit different. I'd be more fun to go out out with. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, go out. But I like to, I don't like to go to, like, busy bars, nightclubs. I don't like any of that crap. I like, I like a dingy, seedy, quiet little spot and then just get hammered. Start when the sun is about to go down and then disappear into the night. I like that. Isn't that your favorite? I like that. I like that, but I also like bougie hotels. Oh, you're fancy. I know, you're fancy. Yeah. But, like, bougie hotels are chill, too, because it's like nobody else matters. You're not in some loud place where people are annoying. You're just with your group. Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's in a comfortable setting with good drinks, you know? What's your favorite hotel? Don't say Kempton. My favorite hotel when I lived in L.A. was Chateau Vermont. Oh, yo, that's a big, that's a nice hotel, dude. Would you just get rooms or just go to the. Oh, most of the time I wouldn't get rooms. Sometimes I would. But, I have a funny story about Blanton's, because that's what we're drinking. I'm drinking some Blanton's today. Blanton's one of my ultimate favorites. Go ahead, give it to me. You're going to hate me now. Oh, boy. For a while, Chateau Vermont didn't have a good brown list. They just had. Tequila, vodka. Yeah, they just, I don't know why, such a fancy hotel, they just didn't have a good brown list. And I was hip to this fucking bourbon that. At the time, it was $100 a bottle. You'd buy it at, like, Bristol Farms. You'd buy it anywhere. Sure. $100. Still kind of expensive for a bottle, right? Yeah. And I just, I loved it so much, and I wanted to drink it. And Chateau was my favorite place. We'd smoke weed in there. We'd people watch. We'd see a bunch of actors. It was just, like, a fun time. So, I would order Blanton's there. And I would empty it in the fucking plants. And then I'd pour my Pappy Van Winkle 20 in the glass. You'd empty Blanton's? Yeah, I'd empty it, because I didn't want to be cheap. I didn't want to, like, sneak drinks in and be like, oh, I'm drinking for free. So, I'd pay for glasses of Blanton's. I'd throw the shit on the fucking bushes, and then I'd pour my Pappy Van Winkle 20. What's wrong with you, dude? You're sick, sick. That's how I fucking roll, cuh. That's how you roll, cuh. Well, this is Rip Van Winkle. Have you ever had Rip? Yeah, so this is the same brand. Yeah, I know. But this is 10 years old. Right. And then the really, when it gets really dank, is 20. The 20 is the best. Anything over 15 is pretty, it's kind of like, you know when you're driving on a highway? Yeah. And you're going 90 or 120? Mm-hmm. It's kind of the same. I don't know the difference. I disagree with this specific brand. I can't tell the difference. Yeah, yeah, but have you had Pappy Van Winkle 20, though? Who are you talking to? The show is called Whiskey Ginger. I've had a thousand of it. Oh, yeah, dude, I've drank it. I've drank it. Oh, I mean, there's a big difference, though. I don't know. It's, it's, it's, it's similar in smoothness. It's a little bit. Similar in smoothness. This show needs to be canceled. Cancel it. Cancel it. That's, that's not true. Yeah, it is. No. Are you a big drinker? Yeah. I've had a thousand of these things. They're, I, I think they're, I think they're as close as you can get to feeling the same without, I think the pretentiousness as you grow with, like, oh, and it's older and it's more age and it's like, yeah. No, no, no, no, no. The pretentiousness. Pretentiousness is there on wine, I think. Wine is way worse. But bourbon, bourbon heads are even way worse. By the way, Pappy and all that stuff, those guys, you go down to Kentucky, they used to drink that stuff like it was Jack. Like, they, it would be thrown around and they're like, yeah, it's fine. Well, the demand. They don't love it. The demand wasn't crazy then. I know, that's what I'm saying. The demand, I think, socially is what turned up people to go, this is the best. It's good. But you can't say that about me. I was buying it when it was $100 a bottle. Yeah, but you were high, blacked out at Chateau. No, no, no. I wasn't blacked out. No? No. Listen, I don't know, man. You gotta line up 10, you gotta bring up 10 whiskey drinkers and pour them a glass of fucking 10 versus 20. Every single one will tell a difference. You can tell a difference, but I don't think it's so dramatic where it's like, this is so much better. Even, I think, what is it, the 15? There's a 15 and a 20 and then 23. Yeah. I like the 20 better than the 23. But I think there's a crazy difference between that and the 20. Palate. Palate. Palate preference is what I like to call it. You're a bumbleclaw. Palate preference, bumbleclaw. Have you ever had Old Fitz? You had Old Fitz? No. Old Fitz is pretty good. See, I can turn you on to some fun stuff. Have you had Stagg? Have you had George C. Stagg? Maybe. Now, see, dude, you're dumping Blantons into the bushes. I can't trust this guy. That's great. And by the way, this isn't, Blantons I don't hold in the highest of regard. I just think it's a very solid go-to for me that I, it's just like a good, solid sipping whiskey that I like neat, usually, but I'm on ice because I figured you're a nice guy. Well, um, it depends. I mean, if I, if I'm not on an empty stomach and I'm drinking at night and I'm drinking like high quality shit, I will not put ice in anything. Sure. Like Johnny Walker, black ice. Johnny Walker. I'm just saying, like, that's like low fucking shit, right? But Johnny Walker's scotch. Yeah, I know, but any brown. I'm talking about any brown. Oh, so you don't discern. You'll take it all. Well, I mean, I really like cognac a lot. I feel like cognac is nice because- That's the hood in you. Well, no, no, no. No, no, no. There's some high-end cognacs out there. There is some really good cognacs. I'm not talking about the low. Like Louie? You drinking Louie? I think Louie is way overpriced. Well, it's overrated. This is my point. At some point, it's the, it's the culture that did it. It's not the thing. It's like- That's the thing. Like Pappy Van Winkle 20, I don't think it's worth 4K a bottle, but is it worth 100 a bottle every day of the week? Of course. Of course. But that, but they've juiced it up so much now everyone's overpaying. I was a fan back then when it was in the mud, you know what I'm saying? In the mud. In the streets. Well, now you're in the streets. You're living in Austin, Texas. Why? Okay. I just, it's a boring story, but I want to make, I want to give you the cliff notes. Give it to me. So I had a, I had a loft in downtown LA and I wanted, I wanted a loft. I don't like that downtown LA, but I wanted it because I wanted a green screen and shit to fucking do shit. Do shit. Yeah. So I went to Venice to see some people with a couple of my friends. We flew there. We were going to be there for a couple of weeks. COVID happened. Nobody was flying. Everybody was afraid. No one, no one knew what was going on. So we were Airbnb hopping month to month. And then I just told my friend, I'm like, let's just get a year lease. It's cheap as fuck. Let's just do it. You know, we don't have to move around. So I got a year lease. And then after, after that year, I was like, let me see. I haven't seen my parents in a while. I haven't seen my family. So let's go back to New York. Okay. So then I lived in New York for a while. I lived in Queens. Queens and Astoria. Um, and then I was just like, I was just stumbling over all my fucking shit. I just have no. room living in fucking a manhattan or a queen's apartment so i was like all right well i just moved from that from austin let me just move back because i could get a big house no income taxes you know price is cheap and then i came out here and like day one i'm like what am i doing in austin i gotta move back so i gotta get the fuck back here like instantly just like posting a couple of instagrams and like the opportunities that come up and people hitting me up to do stuff like just i could be way more creative out here you know i could be seeing more people doing more shit and not be like a little hermit you know i travel a lot so when i'm in austin i'm just kind of like i'm in hermit mode but i don't want to be in hermit mode you don't want to stay at the house all day

giving me dirty looks ever since i turned down the in-flight meal but yeah that was like my dream to meet him and it was cool to to get to meet him he was the king yeah you don't know do you ever eat these in-flight meals you don't do that uh if it's international and i'm like on a 12-hour flight i kind of have different story yeah yeah if i'm going on a four hour flight i skip it because i'm like anywhere i'm landing there's gonna be some cool thing that i could eat sure you can wait be better to wait for yeah i will i will take i will take the hot nuts though pause i can't do i can't eat on airplanes it gives me the yeah it makes me feel gross too well the idea of it is always freaky to me because i'm like where did that food where was the food yeah i mean sometimes i'll go to a little magazine shop and get some like trail mix or something because i know i'm not gonna eat that slop you know what's the go-to in the in the magazine shop trail mix any any candy i mean okay last time i don't get this that often because it is kind of sludgy but like pizzeria flavored combos you're kidding me those are so good they're so good combos have never gone out of style it's unbelievable where other were other kind of snacks in that world from when we were how old are you i'm um i turned 21 yesterday good boy such a lady in hollywood no but i'm 40 43 this year like all the snacks of my youth like that when they started like getting big combos might be the only one that i still can go back to and be like oh this is i do like this like pringles got too pringly they tried too many too much stuff your taste buds kind of advanced too like you want real potato chips now you don't want like fucking depends though some days i want some nasty nasties i ate a bag of those chili cheese fritos when we shot and those are still my favorite fritos chili cheese fritos pizzeria combos like that was one of my old school snacks too i used to go to this arcade called the electric playhouse and i would play the same game every day it's called renegade it was kind of like a final fight type game double dragon i just go to the little like vending machine get pizzeria combos put it on top of the arcade and just like sit there and play it all day long yeah that's the best that's the best i love going into those magazine stores though i do love going in there just seeing what they got and the best thing is like riding your bike to that place like you know being like 15 having a bike getting home from school and just riding your bike to an arcade by yourself and just quarters baby quarters baby quarters we used to save save quarters put them in a sock ride our bike there was like an ice skating arena near my house like a indoor ice skating arena and they had the by far the best arcade it had no less than 30 different new games all the time i don't know who was or i don't know whose son that owned it was like we got to get arcade in here but it became the place to go versus an arcade because they always had new shit and ice you know ice arenas are making good money because ice time is expensive so all these kids would come in there with mom and dad money and they would go and they'd get the machine you know they'd be getting dollars in there we would save quarters steal quarters find them anywhere and they would go and they would go and they would get and play as as long as we could and then on a mission to go get quarters again it was like sandlot where they're saving up to buy a baseball it was like the same thing how many quarters could we get to play mortal combat until you know we were due home um like nostalgia is a drug to me i've been buying like some really old school shit like i bought this um this game that i used to play at the holiday inn um near my apartment and um it's a it's like a pinball it's like a little pinball machine and then there's an arcade machine over it and it's like a little pinball machine and so like when you get to a certain part in the pinball game the screen turns on and it turns into like pac-man oh so and then you got to beat that to get to get an extra ball yeah yeah it's like a combo and they only made like two of them like it so i was like i gotta buy this shit from my house i've been trying to buy this shit oh you can't find it well i i finally found it and i bought it you did yeah you got it yeah it's called baby pac-man was it expensive how much what are these things go now that was like 6k that's so good that's a good clip this is like the this is like the storyline of the movie big on the hunt for the on the hunt for the zoltar machine i remember seeing the zoltar in real life after that movie had come out they shot that in playland in new york right right playland is that where you grew up i grew up kind of close to there yeah yeah yeah i i always loved do the nostalgia to me i still get involved in it in my life like i still do nostalgic things but to me like going back to places is physically visiting is where i like going back to my childhood like the building that i lived in as a kid with my mom it does it does something weird to you man it's bro same thing when i'm driving around with my mom i'm like i tell her to stop at like my old apartment buildings that we lived in i like i don't know what i do this i dude i do it i love it i'm just like sitting there and like all the memories just oh yeah just rushing in my fucking head that's it yeah yeah see like it's it's the the length of the pinball field is like half of what it's normally yeah that yeah so and then the top just is the game it's fucking sick yeah for some reason i don't know why i do that my wife says all the time she's like man you got the nostalgia bug you have like Like, if I find myself near Culver City ever, like if I'm going to a meeting or going to do something, I'll swing by my first apartment down there. I just live off of National, like by the freeway. I mean, I know why you do it, because life can be very mundane, and nostalgia is, like, magical. Well, it's also—it's cool to see where you started. There's something cool about going back to the beginning and being like, well, look at that. Like, I remember I lived in a three-bed, one-bath. It was actually two-bed, but I lived in a kitchen—I lived in a dining room that was partitioned off with two other UCLA grad students. And, I don't know, it was terrible, but it was incredible. Yeah, I never regret my childhood either, because, like, you know, I feel like, you know, number one, I think it builds character. But also, living in, like, ghetto-ass places, like low-income housing, like, the shit that I've seen and done there, when you can't get in trouble, when you're too young to get in trouble. Yeah. It felt like that chapter of my life was like a movie. Yeah. You know? Did you ever write it down? I mean, I would. You should. I mean, I think the only thing I could picture it being as, like, a movie is, like, some Harmony Korean-type shit. Okay. I mean, a little less fucked up, but, like— Yeah. A little less fucked up, but that style of, like, rawness, just, like, of, like, crazy characters and shit. Like kids. Yeah, like, you know. Also, it was during, like, the whole crack epidemic, so that was, like, the biggest layer of all. You never smoked any crack, though. I never did, no. God bless. Good for you. No, my friend cooked it in his apartment, though, and the dealer that used his apartment would, like, spoil us. And, like, you know, as kids, when you don't have money, getting all the, like, Nintendo games and getting, like, you know, taking us out to Chinese places, driving us to fucking Brooklyn, buying us weed, getting us alcohol, like, all that shit was just, like, you know. That's a movie shit. It's a fantasy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cooking crack in the kitchen. Cooking crack, you know? Hell yeah. I got a rap line. It's like, reverse racism, I'd be whipping that white. I'd be whipping that white. That's a great line. Thanks. Are you making music right now? Well, I just, yeah, I mean, I haven't been making recently, but while I'm out here, I'm definitely going to be making some music. Like, I have a few producer friends. Like, I know where to go, like, to get beats, to record, all that shit. So, like, I'm going to get at least a few things done while I'm out here. I feel like L.A. If anything doesn't die in L.A., it would be the music scene. I feel like musicians still will hold this place with high enough regard, or people will still come here to make music. Yeah. Like, if all the other industry dies, and it is, it's gone, but I think music will still kind of live in the roots of this. Like, you think about Laurel Canyon, and the, you know what I mean? Like, in the history of this city with music and artists kind of calling this home. Yeah, I used to live on Wonderland. Oh, you did? Yeah. I mean, like, I think historically people kind of know, but people don't really know. Like, I had a great story. I was told to me one time, Toots and the Maytals. You like Toots? Do you know who that is? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got to meet Toots. I got Buju Banta on my shirt. Buju Banta? I got to meet Toots. One of my day jobs was working in the music industry, doing visas for bands when I first moved out here. And my boss had worked with Toots for years. And I got to go to a show and chat with them after, which was kind of surreal. And they told a story about the time that, you know, Bob Marley and a bunch of other people, a bunch of guys were, like, staying in the canyon, I guess. And they were, like, hanging out, getting high. And they thought, oh, yeah, you know, like, we have our weed. You know what I mean? Like, we don't need to smoke your shit California weed. This is also a long time ago. Yeah. And they were kind of, like, you know, talking shit, being like, we don't need this, whatever trash you guys are smoking. And then a couple of Bob's crew members were like, all right, well, I'll try some of this California nonsense. And he was like, they got so fucking cooked that they were super late for the show. Because they were way too, because they were smoking. Yeah. Back then, the Jamaica weed was, like, the, you know, where you get, like, a nickel bag of, like, shake. It's shit. And, like, seeds. Shit, yeah. You're barely getting high. You can smoke it all day, all night. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I think when their first introduction to, like, California weed, they were, like, mind-bent up in the canyon. And Toots was saying how they were, like, they couldn't leave the house. Like, they were too cooked. Like, they just couldn't do it. California weed is incredible. With a sheesh on top. In here, we pour whiskey. Oh, my, oh, my, oh, my. The playoffs have been unbelievable.

It's crazy because I've seen you from afar and I've been a fan for a long time. And it's kind of wild to like all the years of your, you've been so public. Like you, your life has been so public for so long. Deliberately. You've done this on purpose. Well, yeah, because like in the middle of like, you know, like shit happening, like being on every social, like since I got my start on the internet, any site that came out like Vine, I'm like, okay, I'm on it. You know, fucking. You were way before all that shit. No, I understand. But like the way to survive is like when you see this new shit coming out in the internet. Since my whole pretty much existence in LA happened from internet shit, I had to like kind of evolve with the internet. So all the new shit that came. You know, I did shit to like when I'm doing Vine and kids come up to me that were not even alive when my show was airing, being like, oh, I see your Vines. Like, I think that type of stuff is kind of valuable, you know? Oh, yeah. Well, you got to keep, I mean, you have to keep up with the times. I mean, like if you're not moving with the thing, it's going to move without you. I'm not saying you need to like be beholden to them, but it is a piece of it. I mean, we're, this is the internet now, but this is the greatest version of it because we get to make it on our own. And then show them what we make, which has always been the, it's always been kind of the guts and the core of creation on the internet was like, well, we'll make it. We'll just give it to the fans that like it. We don't need to go give it to the machine. It's nice that the machines exist, but like. And music is the same way a lot of the time now. Yeah, yeah. I mean, more and more indie, indie music's always, always been, you know, a cornerstone of the growth of, of good new artists. But now I feel like there's so much indie music because the internet was like everything anyone, all the time. Yeah. You can take it, anybody can take a shot. And then you have the people that blow up and they just still never sign. They're like, I don't need you now. I mean, but why? Sometimes why? I guess like if you don't want it, why, what would it be? What is it going to do for you? Yeah. It just puts you in debt. Puts you in debt, right? You get that advance. You spend it on all sorts of bullshit. Yeah. But now I'm following, who did I just see, dude? Is DaBaby doing cooking classes online? Is that what I saw? He's like, have you seen this online? He's doing, he's like cooking before. That's crazy. He's like doing, he's cooking. He's cooking full meals outside of his tour buses. And he's now like gotten enough fanship from it, right? Is that right? Yeah, there's one. That's funny. I mean, this, this is super long time ago, but rest in peace. But Coolio had a cooking show. It was called Cooking with Coolio. And he called himself the Ghetto Gourmet. And he made a book out of it. And I, I, I did a collab with him and he had the salt and dime bags. That's so good. Coolio's the man, dude. Yeah. Yeah, rest in peace 100. Yeah, there's DaBaby. What is it called? Oh, that's Coolio. Wait, I can't see. What does it say? There's Cooking with Coolio. He was the man too. Yeah, and I went over his house for Thanksgiving and he made fried turkey. It was the first time I had a fried turkey. Deep fried turkey? Amazing, yeah. You loved it, right? Yeah, and then. You can't go back. And then he gave me some weed and I feel like if I went to any lawn and grabbed a bunch of grass and rolled up and smoked it, I would have gotten higher than the weed. That he gave me. It was so bad. It's funny to know Coolio had dirt weed. I love that. That actually makes him so much better. He was, he was such a likable, fun person. I'll be around him. Good dude. Yeah. Was he, who, who at your core, at your youth core in the hip hop world was your like biggest influences? Like who did you love the most as a kid? As a kid? Um, definitely Snoop Dogg, uh, NWA. I listened to NWA like it was like my religion, you know, I'd go sit at the beach with my, with my mom and I would be blasting NWA. West coast, west coast only. No, no, no, no, no, no. Like Jerry, the damage, uh, like tribe called quest. Um, um, uh, gang, gang star, day law, even like diggable planets. I was fucking with, um, it was mostly actually east coast, but then like, you know, some of the West coast. Right. I loved only east coast. I like fought it like crazy when I was a kid. I was like, I'm gonna listen to West Coast. But I was from Chicago and I was like, I only like East Coast shit. And then Wu-Tang came out and was like the best group of all time. Of all time, yeah. But West Side Connection, I love West Side Connection, man. I love that album. I was like, I started to really get into West Coast shit, but I still kind of, I still always have an affinity for, my tops were always like Nas and Gangstar. I love KRS, but he wasn't like my ultimate. Yeah, KRS has a couple like really catchy songs that you can listen to at any time, you know, like The Bridge Is Over and shit. Yeah, he's got, look. The Bridge Is Over. I respect him. But I don't. You should go walking around Watts by yourself and just do that. See if I get jumped. I did an IRL stream in Compton by myself, but it was during the day. Yeah, daytime's fine. It's fine. Nighttime's no bueno. It'll be like a cool like title, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then I got streamed tonight by these like six foot seven fucking like college kids. College ballers. And they just were like, yo, we saw you were here. What are you doing here? And I just got in their car. We just drove around. And I'm like, that's like, like the good thing about like streaming like that, there's no raw form of reality they could get. There's no editing. Everything that happens just happens. And like no matter how technology changes, you can't get a raw, a more raw version of reality than like, you know. Streaming. Yeah, live. It's real. It's here. There's no fixing it. There's no changing it. No cuts. There's no technology that can come out that makes reality more real, you know? That's true. Maybe visuals will look more real, but, you know. No, but that's the one. But that's it. And with human, random human interaction, because you pick up some great. Oh, yeah. One of the funniest moments. I know you have hated it and loved it. But when you went to get your hair cut. Oh, yeah. And they gave you a lady cut. Oh, my God. The best. It's one of the funniest to this day, bro. That rips me to shreds. And you're like. I think this dude takes off a chick. It's the funniest thing. And he goes, Bella. And he kisses my cheek. Bella, beautiful. Dude, that ripped me to shreds. I thought that was one of the funniest. And you rolled with the haircut. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You rocked the haircut. Bro, that might be the best one. But I think the most memorable one to me is I started doing our all stream in Venice. And this homeless looking Willy Wonka guy came up to me. And he was like. And he's like, where do you live? I'm like, I don't know. He goes, you're coming with me now. You want a lollipop? And he kept giving me like candy. And he goes, I just got out of the psych ward. I'm going to go harass those cops. And like my all stream is like, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run. Don't go to that guy's house. Don't eat that lollipop. And we're at the Whole Foods like parking lot. And so we walk down to walk down Rose Avenue. And there's a bunch of homeless people like in the way sitting on the stairs. And they're yelling at that guy. Because he probably fucked them over and did some crazy shit. So he goes, they're mad at me. I'm going to go through the laundry mat. Just meet me on the other side. And my chest is going, run, run, run, run, run, run, run. So I like stepped over them. And I just like fucking ran. And I went into this bar that I always go to. And I hid in the background, like in the bathroom. It was like a fucking thriller movie. I was going to say, narrowly escaping death live on the stream. Yeah, yeah. It's fun. The streaming is fun. But also, isn't there moments that you're like, I don't want to put this all on camera right now? Like, do you ever get hung up by it? I don't. So like doing it in America now is like, you know, for the most part, kind of like a waste. Burnt. Yeah, it's burnt. And it's just like too risky in certain areas. So now I just like stream my vacations. Like, it's like pretty much limited to like Japan and Greece. Japan. Japan, man. Yeah. The greatest. Yeah, it depends on this. What a fantasy town. It's like if you could describe Japan to someone, it's like if you took off on the airplane and landed on another planet. 100%. Yeah. And the trippiest thing to me was like around Tokyo, you'd get out at a random train stop. And you're like, I'm in a new city again. It's still Tokyo, but you're in a whole new city world. And then you do it again and you go four or five train stops. Whole new world. I mean, like that happens occasionally in the state. Like New York has, you know. Different spots that you go to that transform differently. Yeah. But, dude, Japan was, it was crazy. It was like, it blew my mind at how a whole new city felt every time I got out of a train stop. I did exactly just that. I was like, I'm going to get lost on stream. That's what my goal is today. Wow. So I just randomly got on a fucking train. Counted it. I didn't count stops. I'm just like, whenever I feel like it, oh, okay, I feel like getting off. I got off and right where I got off, there was a bus. And I'm like, I'm getting on that bus. Then I went on the bus and then. Another like 20 minutes. And then it was like starting to rain. So I saw a little like haircutting place. He didn't make me look like a woman, thankfully. I went in. This like Japanese guy gave me like the best fucking scalp massage of my life and cut my hair. And then like, you know, I fucking hopped in a taxi and went back to my hotel. It was nice. Awesome.

Play leveled up arcade games. Beat the heat. Play, eat, and shop on repeat at Netflix House at Galleria Dallas. Smart move. Another smart move? Bundling. Speaking of Japan and your boy Bourdain, I found myself searching for Piss Alley after I watched that episode. Oh yeah, Piss Alley is very popular now. It is now, yeah, it was. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I went after I'd heard about that because I was like fascinated with it. I got my picture up on a couple of those bars. Those bars are the best. Yeah. The coolest thing is when you get invited to someone's like apartment. You're like in someone's house. You're like in someone's living room. We did that multiple times. We met this couple who was quite young and they were like backpacking and you could tell they were, they were not a couple outside of this trip. This was new, this was new for them. Like they had met on a trip and they were young lovers and I was, we were fascinated with them. So my wife and I were like, we should just buy them a ton of shit, like food and dinner. And drinks, like give them the, just like give them the night. So I could tell they were living that move. I was directing the movie. They were, they were in it, you know, and we bought them drinks and food all night and they, we were getting hammered party and going out dancing. We were in this guy's living room dancing, listening to records on the floor. Some guys like little loft. And at some point I thought, man, we just like made, we could have made a baby with these people. Like we could have just produced a family. I like doing that for people. It's fun, man. Cause it's like, if you do something nice for people, like you, you just like, you know, you smile and you think about it, but then you, you don't realize the staying power it could have. Like that shit could like really just like, that could just stay in their brain for forever. Could transform their future. Yeah. It's kind of cool. Yeah, it is. Yeah, more, do more shit like that. Yeah, for sure. Drop nuggets all over the place for people. Yup. Yeah. Like, well, you know what I see now is people do this thing on streams. I see people like leaving money hidden all over LA. Yeah. There's a guy that's like very famous that does it. Yeah, like the like, it's kind of like one of those like cash things. Yeah. He's like, I'll leave, you know, he's like, I'm leaving five grand in this random spot. And I'm like, this is crazy. Just bury money in these spots. But the, but the, but the fanship and the following is so big. They, they find it fast. Yeah. Like there's a dude that was in Chicago I saw on a stream and he was, he's like a find me guy. He's like, can you find me? And this girl found him in seconds. It was trippy. I feel like the savvy people that could find the cash probably don't need it as much as the people that you could give it to. That's probably true. Just give it away. Yeah. You should be giving it away. It is true. You got to come back to LA, by the way. I kept thinking about that. You and the awesome thing. You got to go. I am. I paid for my thing like a year in advance. So like, I'm going to have to like, maybe I have things to do anyway. So like once I'm probably going to get an Airbnb for a month, go back for a little bit. Then I got to go to New York and then I'm flying to Greece. I'm going to be in Greece for like six weeks. This is your life on the run. It's not, I mean, it's not really as crazy anymore. I'm not like, I'm not like, you know, the homie Oliver Tree. I know you just had him on. Love, dude. He's one of my favorite people. He's awesome. That motherfucker will do some Steve Aoki shit where he'll be on a flight like every day for like fucking three months. Like I don't do that. Like I'll, I'll be chilling for like a few months, like five, maybe even five months. And then I'll go somewhere that I really love. And I'll go there for like a month and a half. And just disappear. And just post the fuck up. Solo. Do you ever travel with anybody? Well, I have a, sometimes I travel with people, but I have a lot of people in Greece. whole thing. families over there on my dad's side they all so people are still over there yeah yeah so like um so when we're up in the mountains it's like it's like a twilight zone like it's my double life my aunt has goats she has fig trees she has fucking potatoes planted tomatoes fucking strawberries and it's like so old school up there like each village has like a population of 20 and you're just looking at the mountains with no clouds perfect fucking weather and you're just like eating off the land it's like it's like i'm living another life and i'm so i feel like so lucky to get to do that you know could you live there i don't know i feel like places that are really magical to me like japan and greece are probably going to be less magical if i live there full time that's probably very true yeah so i don't know you move to boro boro it's going to feel a lot different if you're there every day yeah i am going to get my dual citizenship because it's a strong one to have because greece is part of the eu yeah so like those 27 countries like pretty much all the popular eu countries i can live at permanently work at permanently like just because the greek passport you get access to all 27 you do yeah because the eu yeah yeah that's wild dude so i am going to finish that up i just i have a lawyer over there doing shit a good greek lawyer yeah a good greek lawyer she's a greek lawyer i gotta i gotta i gotta get a couple uh apostiles i don't know how to pronounce it is the apostile apostile apostile they like uh they do it oh yeah yeah yeah you don't speak you don't speak oh i speak enough to get by you do love that yeah um i can speak enough to get by you know like just basic shit like i'm i get lost when people are like in full fucking yeah greek sounds like it sounds like a more yelly italian that's what it sounds like yeah yeah it's like a screamy italian yeah when my dad used to be on the phone i'd sound like he's in a fight every time yeah he's not ella hello okay okay like i'm just like bro they can hear you what the fuck's wrong with you now they need to project the greeks need to project for some reason yeah they need everyone to know they're talking yeah it's the same a lot of european countries are like that too where you're like is are they mad i felt that every time i'm in france i'm always like is that guy fucking mad it's like no dude that's just how if it's france they probably are mad they're just no they're not they're they're not they're non-plus their whole attitude is like yeah okay what do you want you want a cheeseburger they're like annoyed but it's fine do you know what i mean like they get by i found the stereotype about french people was not true except for the waiters the waiters was like a movie it was like spot on true all the stereotypes with you at all yeah yeah but they're just like the civilians no the people are great that by you know the people are great i didn't have a phone for some reason i needed to call someone and these girls were sitting next to me i was actually at one of the places bourdain went to um and i was like you can i please borrow your phone i know you don't know me but i need to call someone and she goes okay okay she gave me my gave me uh gave me her phone i got to call my friend and they're like i just you know how they leave the little receipts out so i just took her receipt and paid for their bill yeah that's tight yeah it's just like you know small show a little love back you know small things yeah so but the solo travel that doesn't ever get a little shaky for you do you like are you ever when you're on the go doing stuff are you do you ever want a crew with you or no um i usually at least have someone like i know people in japan if i go to japan i'm gonna be hanging out with like at least a few people there's people that you know that wherever you're going not wherever like if i was gonna go somewhere new like i could reach out and probably find someone and they could take me around you know that's cool if i posted an instagram video being like yo i'm coming to poland like i'd get a few dms being like you know blah blah i could check into them make sure they're legit and like i'll have someone to like take me around and hang out with like that part's pretty easy but i i do go to a lot of repeat places like when i like back in the day a little bit like five years ago i would go like to you know a lot of different countries and now where haven't you gone that you that's targeted i mean taiwan's very small but i'd like to go to taiwan yeah i've been in mainland china that was polarizing as fuck that was cool would you go to hong kong too i've been hong kong i like hong kong a lot yeah people a lot of people like hong kong yeah the buildings like there's some like dilapidated buildings it feels like blade runner it's like really old school but um i like hong kong um i avoid southeast asia because it's too fucking hot i don't want to walk around with a backpack with batteries and shit it's 100 degrees and 100 humidity like maybe if i like lose some of my fucking uh philippines are never gonna happen it might i i think i just gotta lose like 35 40 pounds and then i'll like feel more comfortable being in fucking uh living in outdoor sauna the whole time we should do we should do a uh lose 35 to get andy to the philippines yeah true you should do like a challenge make me lose enough weight to go to the philippines yeah philippines would be cool philippines are really nice yeah the best yeah yeah i'd like to do that funny also there are times where it's not like as bad heat wise yeah but it's pretty hot yeah it's pretty hot you're pretty hot ditto I will suck that orange dick don't do that to me dude I'll hurt that leg I'll fuck you so hard I'll break that leg again yeah you sip it bitch what'd you do to crack the leg the first way it's got so for years I was going to this like studio we'd go to record and also after you know since lame ass LA closes at 2am after that we would just go to the studio cause it was a big big open space and we'd just bring chicks back we'd drink and shit and um everybody told us don't go to the like underground club next door it's like illegally open it's all gangsters it's not hood so naturally we went it's not hood it's actual like gangsters and shit and they would pop their head in once in a while we'd be like oh it's the wrong door so we never went none of my boys went um and then one day we went because there's an A&R that only fucks black chicks and she was going there and I was like you know I probably had a couple joints I was drinking fucking Hennessy they called me to the stage to do some rap shit it wasn't a real stage it looked like bunk bed ladders that just went up 20 feet and I climbed up that shit and I fell and I broke my leg in two places and while my leg was broken in two places these guys that were helping me to the car they were like oh my god robbed me that's incredible yeah yeah they jacked you while you were broken yeah and I had a lot of cash on me why are you carrying a lot of cash because I had like four people in town and I wanted to like show them a good time you know I was just like I don't know like you had like a lot a lot nah nah I didn't have like 10 bands yeah a couple G's a lot that's a lot that's a lot to get robbed yeah yeah and did you have jewelry on or anything watches phones no no so I was screaming in the back of the car and then yeah I was like I don't care about the cash just get my wallet I didn't want to have to get a new ID new fucking cards and shit I was just screaming for someone to go down and try to get my wallet from the guys I got my wallet back with all my IDs and shit the people that took me to the hospital were from out of town so they took me to ghetto ass Kaiser Permanente and I didn't want them to operate on me and they're like they came in and they're like we you know you're sitting there with your leg broken in two we need to operate on you or you need to figure it out like so I I had an old friend that her mother's a nurse and she got a private ambulance to take me to Cedars damn like right in the nick of time so I got to Cedars they did the operation and Chateau Marmont private ambulances you're on one that's how we do it you know what I mean I guess bro that's incredible and so you went to Cedars they fixed you up you got pins all in your leg so you're a bionic man not just pins like a metal implant like a and you cracked that shit bad yeah it's a tib and fib I cracked both T and B T and B you know what I mean I be cracking that tib and fib you should spin a rhyme about that that's my tib and fib my beep that's wild to fall were you embarrassed and hurt and got robbed it's like layers of sad I mean no because I was drunk and high oh you didn't give a shit I was just like fucked like I couldn't be angry I was just the embarrassment would have overwashed I would have tried to walk out I would have been like I'm fine man I'm so embarrassed of falling I was like I fell on my neck at the YMCA got my legs taken out from me and I tried to pretend like it wasn't that big of a deal big deal concussion big deal big deal I almost broke my ass outside yeah you did you almost you almost died out front of our studio yeah gurgling maybe how many times do you think you've almost died like how many times how many close calls have you had I don't know man I've been in fucking some pretty fast cars probably going like 190 or something that's heavy that's kind of scary how about gun to the head when they robbed you they put were they did they why would they have to put a gun to my head it's a little fat Greek American with fucking cash in his pocket with a broken leg in two that's the funniest shit we're gonna rob this little fat Greek kid we better pull the gun out in case he doesn't give it to us what did what they did they were just like run your shit and you were like alright grab my wallet bro I was on the floor with my leg broken in two they fucking just dug in my fucking pant pockets damn tough we're not going back to that nightclub anymore no I got it closed down you did you called Karen Bass yeah I was like let me speak to your manager I'll close this place down, fellas. You guys aren't robbing me. I was like, yo, these guys are going to rot in hell. If you don't have any conscience at all, you're going to rob someone while their leg is broken. Like, suck a dick and die. Kill yourself. That's awful, bro. That's crazy. Yeah. I mean, a little funny, I'm not going to lie. But that is funny for you to be like, ah, when they're just digging it. Yeah. Just digging in my fucking pants. That's bad news. So what are you doing now? What's next when you come? Like, what do you want next? What's on the horizon? I just want to move back here, because I think I can just do more creative shit. I don't know what that is. Would you do a show again? Yeah, but it would have to be way different. The delivery bits wouldn't work. The outdoor shit wouldn't work. Like, the sketch comedy, like, weird sketch comedy shit would work, because that shit's timeless. Yeah, of course. But, like, the people outdoors, they're just too used to cameras. The deliveries are all Ubers. They're not, like, you know, old foreigners. Right. So it would have to be way different. But I would do another show again. And as long as it's not on old-fashioned TV, it's got to be on, like, a streaming service. It's got to be on the internet. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What year did your show premiere? 20. 2004 to 2007, I think. Yeah. Pretty instrumentally, like, ahead of its time. Like, pretty remarkably ahead of its time. There's a lot of people trying to kind of do that thing years later that, you know, I'm not saying you're, like, the only one, but you were pretty quick to it. Yeah, I appreciate it. Yeah, I think the thing that's different now, which. People are shameless about, and it takes away the comedy, is annoying and embarrassing people versus making yourself the butt of the joke. Like, and I don't like that. Yeah, it's just. Like, just being an asshole, blatant asshole to people is not funny. When you make yourself look like a goofball, you might be still disturbing people a little bit. It's not, like, 100% innocent. But you got to make yourself the butt of the joke because then the audience laughs with you, and they're not feeling awkward for the other people. Totally. That's exactly. I told you, that's our secret formula. We. I did. Punk'd was the first thing I ever did, hidden camera, and the bit for us was always. Because Punk's infancy was extremely, like, look what you did. Look what you did. It was a lot of look what you did. Yeah. And I think, like, when we started writing on that show, I was like, this can't be a look what you did. It's got to be a, like, look what I did. Can you help me? So then they're inherently involved. They feel bad. You fucked up. So you look like the idiot versus the celebrity's a dumbass. You're a dumbass. Look at how stupid they look. You fucked it up. You ruined it. And that did happen on the show still. Yeah. But more often than not, we'd want the pie on our face. So if we looked dumb, or we were ridiculous, it helped sell the bit more. Instead of being like, that's mean. Yeah. It was more like, oh, that's funny to watch us have pie on our face. When it's pie on their face, like, I see a lot of that now in hidden camera world, and I don't love it. Like, you know, and we were subject to it. Like, we did it, but I didn't. It always made me feel gross. At the end, one night I'd go home and I'd take a shower, and I remember, like, before I go to bed, being like, I fucking hated that bit. Because if we fucked with someone in a way where it was like, it was on them. It was like, ah, it should have been on us. And I had a tough time sleeping in some of those shoots because we were bummed out. Yeah. Also, my big thing, which I think I was guilty of, or my show was guilty of, a little bit, that, you know, I think like, you know, when you think about the old Howard Stern whack pack, it's like the exploitation of people who are not, like, fully there. Yeah. And I. I feel bad about that. Like, I think. I think that a lot of the people that were on our show, we probably made their lives better. But I don't really like that specific part of it. I know what you mean. Because I feel bad about that. Because we grow. We learn. Yeah. You didn't know back then it was a different time. I mean, Howard Stern is a very preachy guy now. He's wagged a finger and he's the same guy that made girls come on a Sibby and live on air. You're like, all right, dude, I don't know if I want to hear you fucking preach to me. Yeah. You had a guy named Gary the Retard on. That's what you named him on the show. It was like. Yeah. Chill out. Chill out. It was like a lot of times. And I know we're all learning and growing and changing and thank God. But, like, it is weird that when you look back on some of that stuff and the heyday of that world of, like, the Stern world, this, like, heavy in your face, loud, brash, a lot of it you were like, this was. This was a little fucking mean. Like, it was a little fucked up. But, like, also, like, back then it was fun to watch. Because it was like that. Because it was crazy. It's like train wreck shit, you know? Yeah, it was wild. And, like, sometimes I feel like that with certain Instagram, like, accounts where they have, like, autistic son or something and they're just blasting the video in their face while they're freaking out all the time. It's always a little strange. I'm like, do they want this? Yeah, exactly. They can't really know if they want it. And, like, but then they have, like, a really loving audience that are like, yo, I have an autistic son, too. Thank you for your videos. You know? So, like, I think it's, like, kind of, like, in the middle. Both things can exist. Yeah, it's kind of in the middle. Whereas we talk about Love on the Spectrum, one of my favorite shows, but they electively go on that show because they want to find love. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So this is more of, like, a showcase, not an exploitation. This is like, well, these people want love, we want to put them in the position. But are we laughing at them? We are a little bit. No, no, I'm laughing with them. Yeah. Yes. I love Connor. That's my dog. Connor's my dog, dude. Connor's number one. It's hard. It's hard, you know? You're laughing at the world of. Because love is. I think what it just shows on those shows, is, like, love is extremely complex. I don't care if you're neurotypical or not, love is confusing for everybody. It's not our fault, though. Like, instinctually, if someone who's, like, disabled, mentally disabled, makes a crazy noise or something, you know, we're not saints. It's just instinctively kind of funny, right? I heard it when you said it. It didn't even happen, but I heard it happen. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, it's not like we're bastards for laughing at that, but it's also kind of like, oh, fuck, it's kind of mean, you know? A little, but also, if they find it funny, you know what I mean? Yeah. It's like a fart. Is a fart not funny? Ever? I'm weird with that shit. I don't know. Farts are always funny to me for the rest of my life. Fart is not funny to you. Somebody farts in a restaurant next to you, do you hear it? Hilarious. I mean, sometimes, I guess. I'm going to laugh every time. It's impossible. I remember being, I remember, like, my dad pissing with me at a baseball, at, like, a Cubs game, and we're peeing next to each other, and I was young, and a guy, like, two down, just, ripped. And my dad chuckled, and I was like, see, farts are funny even when you're dad. Like, even when you're dad's, farts are cool when you're dad. Yeah. Also, it took me out of the fact that when you pee in those things when you're a little kid, and you're thinking about how much bigger everyone's penis is than yours, the mental mindfuck of pissing in a trough as a young man. A trough? Scariest. You said, Soldier Field, you used to have troughs, so you'd pee in a trough, and you'd be, there's just cocks out. And when you're a young boy, you're like, God, this is just nerve-wracking. You're like, I hope I can pee. Please don't get nervous. That would be a good bit for, like, a pretend podcast where you're just, like, actively peeing, interviewing people, and you just keep looking down at each other. Did you look at my dick? Are you looking at my cock? Just mid-pod. So anyway, the first time I wrote a book, it was. Yeah, just cock out. And the podcast is called Cocks Out. Cocks Out. That is a social thing that for some reason, I don't even know why they were, like, yeah, just make them all piss right next to each other. You're like, well, you could shield some people. It would be nice to have privacy. Cocks in a trough. The good old days, man. That's what the good old days were. Then you go to Japan and it's, like, separate stall. The walls go up to the fucking ceiling. Privacy, dude. Yeah. You want to fucking rub one out? Yeah, you're free. I got my anime. You like anime? No, I don't really. Come on, dude. No, I like normie anime. Like, uh, Studio Ghibli shit. Like, super normie. Yeah, like very, like, you like anime with story. Yeah, like, old cowboy bebop. You love that. That's dope. And even the creator said this is better to watch dubbed. And no one says that with, like, anime shit. Why that? Why? That's weird. Because he just said it feels like a very, kind of, like, American thing or something. And he's like, it's better to watch it dubbed than read subtitles with this show. Oh, I guess, that's what I meant. And it's really good, like, the acting stuff's really good. Better dubbed. But yeah, I mean, like, my anime history is almost zero. Like, fucking Ninja Scroll, fucking Spirited Away, like, all the Studio Ghibli shit. Like, I don't go deep with, like, the series and shit. You're not, that's not your thing? Nah. What is your shit? Um, I don't know. I watch a lot of YouTube. I watch a lot of, like, travel shows. What's Andy doing at night? At night? Like, I'm probably, like, nerding out and, like, watching streams and watching shows. Like, sometimes I'll, like, sometimes I'll find a good series to watch and I'll, like, lay in my bed and have the series on the MacBook and I'll, like, play a mobile game while I'm watching the series. While the series is going on? Yeah. Do we have to do two things all the time at once? We can't do, we just can't consume, I have to be on my phone doing something while I'm doing other movies. Yeah, if it's a movie that I'm really into, I won't do that. But, like, a series and I'm watching, like, fucking six, six back-to-back episodes, I'm like, eh, fuck it. I have to. I think we're living in the new world where it's like, I have to be distracted while I'm consuming. Otherwise, it gives me anxiety. Yeah. I just wish there was a show that came out that I was, like, absolutely addicted to because that doesn't really happen that often. What have I gotten addicted to? A lot of times, it's old shit that I go back and rewatch. Have you ever seen Toast of London? Do you know who Matt Berry is? Mmm, not sure. Brother, I think it's the funniest. I think it's the funniest. Bring up a picture of Matt Berry. Do you ever see What We Do in the Shadows? No. Oh, damn, dude. So good. Have you seen the IT crowd? The IT crowd. Yeah, have you ever seen the IT crowd? No, I got to catch up. Damn, dude. If you like British humor, that's like. I just watch like old shit like Peep Show and fucking. Peep Show is phenomenal. Yeah, yeah. Phenomenal. Bro, you would love Toast. That's Matt Berry. What the fuck did you just say? Oh, wait, wait. I know that guy. Yeah, you've seen him. Yeah, but I don't know if I've seen that show. Bro, Toast of London. Look, I liked What We Do in the Shadows, but Toast of London to me is that where he's at his like. You got to text me some of these. I'm going to hit you with this shit. Because honestly, like, I think, Matt, I have such a crush on this dude. There's like a couple of people that do things that I have such a crush on where I've like gone out of my way to ask my agents, which I've never asked them anything my whole career because they don't fucking do anything anyway. But I've asked them like, hey, man, can you get me on. I'll do it for free if they're doing anything. Yeah. Don't ask them I want a job. If they have a thing and they're doing, be like, Santino will do it and I'll do it for free. Like, I bugged. I bugged for so long to get on Baskets. I wanted to get on. I asked them a thousand times because I love Galifianakis. I think. I just think that show was so brilliant. And all the time they were like, they appreciate it, but they're not using a lot of actor actors. They're using like either unknowns or locals in Bakersfield. And I was obsessed. And I hit them up. I was like, tell them I will pay for this opportunity. Like, I just want to be in the machine because I think it was so subversive and smart. And that's how I feel about Matt Berry. I think he's a fucking. A living comedic genius. And he kind of has this like. Effortless comedy where I know he knows he's funny, but he doesn't need to care about trying. How do you feel about Nathan Felder? Nathan Fielder? Yeah, Fielder. I like him, but a lot of his stuff, too, borders on like, it's a little mean. Some of it can be very mean. Some of it's great, but some of it is almost like, damn, dude, that's like fucking mean to that dude. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I get that. Like, it's brilliant. It walks an ethical line. It walks that line very close of like, is this very mean to do to this man? It's just like, some of the shit is like, so high level, though. Some of it's. Dude, learning to fly a fucking plane is. I mean, what are we talking about? Like, a guy learned. So good. Got his pilot's license. I mean, that's insane. Have you seen that? No, I haven't seen it. Holy shit, dude. The rehearsal's insane. You need. That's like, probably the most. Oh, the rehearsal, yeah. It's incredible. Probably the most epic version of like, the guy went all the way to like, learn how to fly a plane. On a 737, right? Is that what it is? I mean, bonkers. But there's moments that are so funny, they're undeniable with him. Like, with the guy, with the old dude where he's like. What about the alligator in the room where he had to reach the free TV or something? Insane. Yeah, like, some of it's like, I think, high level genius shit. You drink your son's pee? Yeah, when I'm scared. He's like, why do you drink your son's pee when you get scared? Because then I'm not scared anymore. It's fucking brilliant. I'm gonna text you a bunch of shit. Yeah, yeah. We're gonna get on it. And you know what I want you to do for me? What? You need to do me one favor. When you go into the studio and you go to make music at some point, you have to text me. I want to come watch. Really? I just want to come hang out. Yeah, I would love that. Okay. Do you smoke weed? Mm-hmm. Okay. One of my favorite studios is called Conway. Okay. And you have your own, like, private bungalow with, like, an outdoor area, and it's, like, bougie as fuck. Like, it's probably, like, maybe, like, 3 or 4K for, like, one session. And I want to, when I have the right producer and the right track, and, like, a couple songs that are just loaded to record, I want to rent that for, like, a day. And, like, that's the one I'll invite you to. Say less. I would love to come. I genuinely would love to come. That would be dope. You might have to do some ad-libs. Maybe. We'll see. Ba-da-ba-ba! Ba-da-ba-ba-ba! Ba-da-ba-ba-ba! Ba-da-ba-ba-ba! You should get some, right? You should get Buju Bantan on. He's out of jail. He's going all over. He's free? Free? He's free? He's out? Yeah, he's motherfuckers free. Where is he now, though? He's right here. He's out. He's outside. He just stripped on a strap. He's always right here. Yeah. We'll go. Next time we make music, you make music, I want to come by and just, I want to feel it out. Yeah, that would be awesome. I'm down, baby. Well, I love you. I appreciate you coming on the show. I want you to plug anything. If you want to plug anything, tell the audience, you know, do you want to plug anything at all? Is there anything that you really want to plug? Go listen to some reggae. Go listen to some fucking reggae. And before we go, we close the show the same way. Look into that camera, and you say one word or one phrase to end the episode. It used to be a word that sometimes people like to leave, impart wisdom or a bit, whatever you want. Kindness. In here, we pour whisk, whisk, whisk, whisk, whisk. You're that creature in the ginger beard. Sturdy and ginger. Gingers are hell no. Ginger. I like gingers. Shop liquidiv.com. That's P-O-D-2-6. Rave the upside down. Beat the heat.
