But yeah, so then I ran out of there, then Harla Williams is how, I walk into Harla Williams. He's like, oh, he just missed Will Farrell. Like, go, LA! - He did the pot or they were just hanging. - He did the pot. - Wow, that's a big one. - Yeah, so like LA's such a magical play. I'm looking at the Hollywood Hills. I just missed Will Farrell. I was in a hotel once, and they gave you, like they didn't have a gym, but they gave you access to the Equinox across the street. And I saw Will Farrell in there. I was like, that's fucking loud. You're just working out with like literally hundreds of people around him. - That's crazy. - No one bothered him, it's LA. - Yeah, I guess so. Does he work out funny? Has he like, (laughing) - In Toledo, I know, you can't do that shit. - No, God no, you get swarmed. - But they're just like, they're like, I'm over it. - Right, right. - Although you know a couple people were like, dude, I did a self-safe for this movie, - That's true, that's a good point. - But yeah, what else, Bobby, Santina? - Yeah, Bobby's such a proded Bobby, it was so fun. - Yeah, it's easy lifting. - Yeah, Santina was the man, and then I, by the time I got to glass, it was like 7 p.m., and you're like, loopy and delirious and like uninhibited, so that one got really weird. So look out for that. - Said the N word. - Yeah, we got into it. - Yeah. - That was fun. - Damn, right. - And I flew home on a red eye, took a Xanax and slept the whole way. I pulled a salicuse. The sleep back is tough, 'cause it's really like five hours. - I know, exactly. - There you get six. Six, I could do six. Five is where you get in a dangerous territory. - Yeah, I landed, got home, with one eye open, and then just went into bed and slept for like four more hours. - But you got a baby, so I guess it's like it's always, it's never good sleep. - No, never, never. So, but I'm back, yesterday I was a little wonky, but I'm back baby, and I got it all in one weekend, Rogan, all that shit, and I'm done, and I'm home. - Damn, that is the way to do it. Just fucking suffer for a week. - Yes. - Like, life, not suffer, but it's a lot of flights, a lot of being on. Look at that, dude. - We kept it at eight. - Suck on that Bridgerton. - Yeah, you do, Mark Robers, whoever that is. Crunchables, we're coming for you dinosaurs. - Yeah, you're extinct. All right, how about that, so. - I love it, man, that's amazing. - Nice to be in the 10 for a while, but you get some hate, too. You get a lot of hate, people are making things. - That twin towers jokes are fucking goddamn. - Oh, thanks. - I heard a lot of 'em, 'cause I still see one shows, and I'll peek in, I'll watch, but it's fun to see the finished product, and you're just like, fuck, the, God, I've wrote down a few times. - Oh, the three some nine eleven? Is that what you're talking about? - Yeah, that was a fun. - We crumbled under pressure? - Yes, yes. - Fuck, there was a bush, and it was an inside job. - Oh, yeah. - WMBA joke, you told me before, but I look fucking, you've told me a bunch of these, so I know, you ran the Delta Gimp one by me, I think it attacks. - Yes. - And I was like, fuck. - That was your line, Delta Gimp. - I said Delta Gimp. - Yeah. - God damn, no wonder. I love that problem, and he's not so much, I'm like, that was a great line. - That's a good writer. - Here's my favorite part. - When I went and saw you. - No, I love the, but it's your thing. I mean, it's your premise, and it was like, the idea is so fucking funny. - Yeah, but no one's put those two words together, Delta and Gimp, so that's, that's cool. - It's so, it's so, it's a funny visual. It's hard to do a funny visual. - Yeah. - You know, it's like, that's that funny. Like, 'cause you picture it, you see it, you see it. - Yeah. - And everyone fucking has been there. Guy wrote down a bunch of it. - Well, we used to write so often together that when you did your Comedy Central Hour, I went with, I brought May. That's all, it's a brand new, it's like a hot day. - I brought May to my Comedy Central Hour. - Yeah, 'cause I wanted to be like, hey, I know this guy was TV, I was trying to get late. - I remember, I remember being at your Comedy Central Hour, it's probably like a few months before mine or something. - I think you brought letter dudes. - Did I really? - No, he was your dude. - We were dating. - Yeah. - Pulled in. - Tiddy fucked him. (laughing) - Oh, that's what I thought it did. (laughing) - I remember years doing that church in the Lower East Side. - Oh yeah, yeah, that was the synagogue. - It was a synagogue, really. Yeah, it was amazing, dude, it was beautiful. - But yeah, I brought her, at least to write so much. I was like, that was my tag. - Yeah, dude. - And she was like, "Shut up, try to watch." I was like, "Oh, sorry." (laughing) - I don't remember, 'cause I was at the point now. I don't remember what I do, but I love Leonard. I love that guy. Dude, yeah, so many jokes, I mean, fuck, there's another one, a QR code on the clam. - Oh, thanks. - 'Cause I was like, "I'm so dissensitized to comedy that I'm like, you're trying to figure out where's it going." - All right. - It's hard for me to just watch it and enjoy comedy. - Of course, of course. - But unless it's something so different. - Yeah. - You know, but I'm like, "Oh, fuck, where's it going?" All the groups that hate each other look the same. [BLANK_AUDIO] - Thanks, thanks, those, a lot of those bomb in New York too. - But that's also one where you're like, that's a great observation, now where you're gonna take it and that's where the turn, the last line, women. - Yeah, you make, everything's a two, two, two, two, than a one. - Yeah, yeah, so I was like, in the pause, women. So I was like, oh, fuck, I was like, oh, that one. I was like, I was like walking on the street watching that one. I was like, oh, fuck, oh, the street, wow. - Well, sometimes I like to, yeah. I was like, how many better than watching? - Me too. - I'm gonna look too, but yeah, comic like Mark or like, I mean, the set's beautiful, so it's wasted on me. - They killed it, yeah. - It's beautiful. - Thank you for the colors. - God, the colors were fucking nice. - That's New Orleans too. - That's your nicest looking special by the way. - Well, I took your advice. You're like, spend some fucking money. The last one I skipped. - They're forever, they're forever. - Yeah, we shot that thing. - I skipped them some too. Although, we were talking the other day, we're like, are we ever gonna top our YouTube specials? - Right, right. - Like, I mean, out to lunch and I got this, we're like, I think there are tops. - Probably. - 'Cause we were so hungry and so fucking annoyed and we're like, no one will give us shit. - Yeah. - Like, I remember, I remember everyone passing on us and us feeling like, what else we're killing? Who was that Bill Burke quote? We're like, we're killing an obscurity. - Yes, we're killing an obscurity. - What's happening? - Ah, yeah. I would go to clubs and they'd be like, same hour, huh? I'm like, ah, this is all I got. Like, no one's gonna buy it. So I'm not gonna really work on it. - Yeah, 'cause that's why mine was so good for me, 'cause I was running it for years. 'Cause you had nothing else. I was like, why not just do it again? No one's helping it. - It's also tough 'cause we were in a lot of papered rooms, which for those that you don't know that term just means a lot of free tickets. Which people, if you don't pay for something, you don't respect it. - Yeah, that's true. - I mean, if you give money to it, it's more of a, like go into the theater to see a movie. - Yeah. - It's way better than if you just throw something on Netflix. - Now you're stolen. - Yeah. - But that doesn't bode well for hookers versus- - No, we don't respect the hookers. - But you pay. - You pay. - So you, but that you're like- - Sex doesn't count. - Sex doesn't count. - I know, I know. - Sex doesn't count. - All right, fine, so I'm wrong about that one. - Okay, okay. - You found one hole on it. - Ah, all right. - And I use that term loosely. But, so you both expressed some interest separately about wanting to take more time until your next special. - Yes. - Yeah, oh this time. - How did that come about at the same exact time in your career at the same moment? - 'Cause we're both burnt out. - Yeah. - And I'm like, I just taped one too and I'm in the mode. I took a couple weeks off and now I'm like, I'm throwing shit at the wall and it's kind of fun. It's funny, someone was watching me bomb and they were like, you don't really seem like it bothers you. I'm like, it's fun. - Yeah. - It's fun after you've been doing well for a while. Like you run in an hour, it's tight, it's good. And it's for your people on the road, you're spoiled. So you're just like, you get off stage killing, you're like, I'm a fucking hack. Who gives a shit? - Yeah, exactly. - I know this works, I'm just cutting fat. But then you go with new shit, you're like, if I get one line, I'm like, oh, all right, cool. - Yes, one line is worth the whole night. - You slave over all these jokes and then you're like, oh man, what do I have? And you look at your like, that was 20 seconds, I guess? - Easily. - 20 seconds. - I know. - Shit, it's like, you know, you're just, what do they say? Building an hour is like trying to make a mountain out of paint. - It's like when you put spinach in a pan and you're like, that's all I got. - Hey, that's good. - Like, fucking, that's it. - Yeah. - But, no, it's fun, man. - Spinning in a pan. - It's fun. - Yeah, damn, yeah, I've got a few more down, right? - Oh, it's fun. - You hate this. - This is a hell from our play now. - All right, fine, one more though. I've heard this too, but I love it because I loved it, but the RFK feels like family. - Oh, thanks. - Oh, like fuck. - That was proud of that one. - Well, there's a feeling. - Where's this, I just enjoy, there aren't a lot of comics where's this going and I don't watch that many comedy specials 'cause I don't want to bite on people shit. - Sure, sure. - But like, you gotta watch your friends. - Yes. - You gotta, you know, so like you list, there's like a few people I'll watch, but it's hard, it's hard for me to, I should watch more. - Well, like summer, like I watch Chris Fleming 'cause he's so different than that. - I started it and I was into it and I gotta go back. - Yeah, so I was with a girl who wasn't as into it. - And I think she might have been if we gave it more, it takes time. - Yeah, it's also like an hour 15. - Sure. - Which I'm like, that's a fucking bold move. - I know for your opening special. - It's his first special? - I might have done a YouTube act. - No, I think he's done stuff. - Okay, maybe you're right. But I was like, I gotta, I could tell it's good, so I wanna go back to it. - Yeah. - I will. - But yeah, so I try to watch a little and I listen a lot and I do the serious comedy. - I love listening. - For something, 'cause I, yeah, I don't know. It feels almost like. - It's better. - We're old school. It's like when you meet a guy who's like, I only listen to baseball games. You're like, what are you fucking crazy? - Oh, that's wild. - But I've met people like that with like, you gotta listen to a game. - I only listen to porn. (laughing) - I like the conversation. - Yeah. - It's really interesting. I don't feel like learning that ASMR shit. That gets 'em off. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - That's all the people that listen to this to fall asleep. - Yeah, yeah. But you know what's weird? This is most consumed by YouTube. - Is it? - Yeah. - Really? Do we do way better on YouTube than audio? - Ah, shit. - You just made that up. - I thought I heard that podcasts are mostly YouTube. I thought I heard that. - Really? - Yeah, just 'cause people put it on, they eat dinner, it's just in the back. Or like, I listen to music off YouTube. - Really? - Yeah. - It's beautiful. - Okay. - Dude, can I give a movie wreck? - Yeah. - 'Cause I watch, I still buy DVDs, like I'll still buy 'em. It is what I was saying really. It kind of feels more like an event to put a disk in. The quality is better. And I don't know. There's something about it that you're like, all right, I gotta pay attention. - I like it. - 'Cause I like it. - So, 400 blows by Truffan. - Oh, classic. - I've never seen it. I love that you've seen everything. It's fucking great. - Oh yeah. - I didn't realize it was about his childhood 'cause I started reading about it afterwards. This kid is, this kid in France, who's kind of deeply-- - Street tough. - Street tough, but deeply misunderstood. - Yeah. - His mom is raising him and she just hates him. - Yeah. - And then the dad is a stepdad. It's not a dad who really, he's like fine. He's not like an awful guy, but he's like, doesn't seem to love him. - Right. - And he's just like there. And it's just like, what can happen on and on? He end up in a bad place when you don't have a good, but it's just fucking beautiful. It's like, I remember the ending just hit. I was like, oh my god. - It's great. - Yeah, it's you, man. - And it's such a big influence on so many movies. - Totally. - Yeah. - Have you seen The Bicycle Thief? - Oh. - I don't know what to say. If you haven't seen that one. - Don't do that one to me, 'cause it fucking, like, there's certain movies that will make you tear up. That fucking kid in that movie. - I know. - He's so cute. - Yeah, he's great. - He's so-- - He's great. - He wouldn't laugh the second around spacey. - That's true, and I grew up in a black neighborhood. This was my whole job. - Except your movie, you're just like, you guys can have it. - Yeah. - That's true. - You guys take it a lot of that. - I've heard that story about you. - Yeah, that's true story. - About you. - About you, Nanny. - Yeah, that's amazing. - And one more Cinema Paradiso. - That is like, if you don't cry during Cinema Paradiso, I don't know if you're like, you must be like, made a stone. - Exactly. - I think that's like the ultimate you cry movie. - Yeah, yeah, I think you're right. - I avoid a lot of those movies, 'cause I don't want to just let, but like, Cinema Paradiso just fucking, it's brutal. It's so good. It's like beautiful, but can we play this one scene? - Sure. - We don't know. We don't know shit about copyright law. - Okay. - You're gonna read what he's saying, Mark. - Don't look back. Don't give him an install to forget about us. This is the old, pause for a sec. So, you're playing, you're playing the, I love this instance. - No context. - No context, it's foreign. And we just found out a bunch of our listeners are mostly audio. - Nah. - Yeah, they'll figure out a talent in Cinema. It's a kid who grows up in a, playing films in a projector and he falls in love with Cinema. And this old man is like his mentor and he's a really sweet guy. And there's a fire in the cinema. And the old man saves the kid, but he becomes blind from the injuries. And the kid ends up becoming this big director. - Yep. - And he comes back for the old man's funeral. It's a beautiful story. And it's brutal and heartbreaking. - Yeah. - But also just like, so this is the old man saying, don't give in an nostalgia, don't forget about us. - No, he's saying forget about us. - Oh, forget about us. - Yeah. - I miss the point of the movie, guys. - No, he's like, don't give in an nostalgia. Forget about us. Yeah, like go on with your life. He's like, chill, brutal. - Yeah. - Fuck. - Well, you can't forget your childhood. Like those formative movies are the ones that fuck you up. Like the last line of stand by me, like the thing about, I never had friends like that. - Yeah. - Again, I'm butchering a bit. But who does? And you're like, oh, geez. - I know. - And casually says that River Phoenix got his throat slit. - Yeah. - He's guys like, oh yeah, he got his throat slit later in a-- - In like a bar fight. - Yeah, in a, yeah, I don't know. - Oh man, yeah, that's heavy stuff. - It's also crazy that movie. They're all kids, they're best friends, whatever. And then they all go different ways and never talk to each other again, which is such a true thing in life. - That's true. - Yeah. - Oh, you want to cry. Watch Train Dreams. - Really? - Oh, this is the best movie of 2026. I'm calling it right now. - Okay, I gotta watch it, man. - I'm gonna watch it this week. - Deep, heavy, introspective.

I just ruined my life. I always take the good stuff from you. My doctor is at brown people. So, you know, he got a better doctor. Dude, I mean, 10 nights of the beacon is insane. Yeah, it's been a trip. That's like the, that's, we say that's like the coolest theater in America. We're on, what is tonight? Eight. Wow. Yeah, run. Yeah. So eight bunch of press. It's been good though. It's been a good run. Yeah. I mean, it's, it's so cool, man. I get so many friends message me when we said you're coming on, like, oh my God, like my friend Brian Copeland was like, you got to ask him, like, what it's like working with his wife, like creatively. How do you work with your wife? That's wild, us. Because we're, we're comics. We're on our own up there. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I mean, I met Susan on the road. She was open for the Almond Brothers in 1999. Wow. We out. But a house had kids got married. It's one of those orders. And then 10 years in or like, I think we could probably maybe play music together. Yeah. Yeah. We didn't jump in right away. But it's been an amazing run. We're 15, 16 years in. Wow. Wow. And it's, but yeah, I mean, you got to, it's got to be the right person. I'm having a big band. You got to make sure that everybody's role is pretty defined. But it's been amazing. I mean, we've been really lucky. I mean, we're better now than we were when we started the band. Nice. Like like in terms of collaborating. Yeah. That's rare because it goes the other way. Yeah. No, and if it does, I could see it going that way quick. Right. Right. So it's kind of like all or nothing. But it's been an amazing run in the bands in a healthy spot. I mean, it's, I never would have thought we'd be able to make it this long with a 12-piece band. It's a heavy lift with band and crew of 25, 30 people on the road. Wow. It's all overexpensive. Are you on glasses? How do you do it? 12-piece band. I mean, you know, the resonances are nice because you stay put for a minute. Yeah. But we don't, in the summer, we're hitting the road hard. And it's, uh, you're on the bus. Three or four buses, depending on the tour. How much production. Whoa. So it's, I mean, eight or 10 people on a bus. You're, you're on each other. You better like each other. I mean, that's so, so much harder than the way we do. Yeah. You literally show up with a mic exactly in an opener, maybe. Yeah. Yeah. I, I, I, I, I, had a few friends along the way that are comics. And then every once while one of them hits and all of a sudden you see them playing these arenas and things and they show up and they have a road manager. Two of their friends, like four people travel. Yeah. Right. That's exactly how it's incredible. It's crazy. Yeah. It's an amazing thing to see. 12. That's more than ISIS. I mean, that's crazy. I mean, you know, we can, we roll into a town. You feel pretty safe. Like we have a small army rolling. Hell, yeah. That's awesome. You're in a bar fight. You're good. Yeah. There's, there's a few guys in the band that, uh, you want to have them with you. Oh, yeah. A few foxhole guys. I mean, we have a few on our crew, especially. Oh, the guy that drives a truck for us. He was driving with the almond brothers years ago. And he was, uh, he was an army ranger. He was, I mean, he was, he was a prisoner of war for a while. Wow. And when you show up at a festival, he's the first one on site. You roll in. He's got it all recon. And he's like, buses are here. Right. That's the point. Like, yes, sir. I'm following you, Rick. He wants to play Russian roulette after the show. You like, please, it's battle all the time with that. Yeah. I mean, we didn't want to two of those guys. I had one of those guys in high school. You just, yeah, he was ready. Yeah. I'm glad that guy's on our side. Yes. I mean, the, uh, the almond brothers had this famous roadie named Red Dog. Um, I think almost famous. It was a character based on him, but he was in Vietnam. Came back, re-enlisted because of the adrenaline rush. He's one of those guys. But when I joined the almond brothers band, he had been there 30 something years and he's one of those guys that would take a bullet for anyone in the band. He was, he was hardcore and had the guy wants to too badly. It's no one's going to go. That'll go. You don't have to instigate this. Right. But he was a legend, man. They don't make him like that anymore. Man, where I'm gluten free. He's got an ulcer. Yeah. Yeah. It's different now. Wow. Is that him playing with the almond brother? Yeah. There he is. That's him. That's Red Dog on the right. Holy yelling. He's already yelling. Oh, yeah. No, that's what he looked like when I joined the band, he was quite something. He's actually funny. The other night, Susan has become friends with, uh, with Cindy Lauper, which is awesome. She is hilarious and incredible human. We went by her place for dinner the other night and she said, you know, I actually, I was in the film or east the first time when I was 17 and the almond brothers were playing and, uh, Elvin Bishop and I was, I was there because I was into the, the fashion. The groupies had the best fashion. I don't care about the other groupies, shit, but I wanted to see what they were wearing. And so I was talking to them and they were like, yeah, we can just between bands. You just head backstage and so I snuck backstage and I ran into Red Dog. He was this guy that was working with the other brother. So I was like, you met Red Dog? Wow. She thought he, she was a background singer and like put her on stage like, get out there, you're supposed to be, I was like, never, never imagined Cindy Lauper and Red Dog having a crazy connection. I just saw her on TikTok. Like she had a resurgence. She's doing great now. Christopher knows our buddy, Chris, the comic, she played his mom in his new show. Oh, is that right? It'd be awesome. Yeah. She came out to the beacon the other night and set in. Oh, wow. Yeah, pretty fun. Damn, she is. She's pretty damn cool. That's got to be the best here in those old stories. I mean, I can't even imagine. Well, Red Dog wrote a self-published book called The Book of Tales and it's about what you think it is. It's just, Red Dog chasing the ladies. It is high comedy. That's great. I would recommend it if you can find it. Damn, we got to, we got to get that book. Yeah. What's the routine on the road? Like what's a night like usually? I'm show. How do you, how do you, you know, if we're staying in a town, our band likes to hang afterwards. So a lot of times you find half the band will end up at some jazz club where everyone's sitting in, horn section will roll in. We'll often end up there too. Or you just find a dive bar. Everybody enjoys hanging band and crew. Oh, yeah. So it's a good group that way where we, I mean, we know that we have to be up the next day in working so we, you know, there's a, there's a line. There's a day off. It's a little different. But we the days off there's a lot of lines. Yeah. Yeah. And it depends on how far you're traveling. You know, we're we're adults. It's an adult traveling band. Right. It's definitely not a it's not a choir rolling down the road. But it's a fun group. I mean, I've been in bands where you get off stage and everyone just heads their separate ways. Right. You only see each other on the bus or on stage. And luckily, this is not that group. So it's it I think that stuff really matters actually. Yeah, I agree. Bonding and it's is a middle ground. You don't want to go do heroin all night, but you don't also go sit at it. It's a different band. Yeah. But there's a great dive bar up by the beacon with the harp on it. It's a Dublin. The Dublin. Hey, that's a great dive. We're all there about three nights. Hell yeah. Love that bar. There's iconic man. Yeah. So I love the elevator and everything. All those iconic. It's the best. There it is. Look at that big knee on harp. You can't beat it. There's a Banksy out front. That's right. That's right. Yeah. So we saw the video of you playing a 13 obviously, which is I'm sure everyone brings that up to you. Is that just like how did that start circulating? Is that you posted that or someone else? No, I didn't post that. It looks like I had a mask. This is crazy. Wow. It's just weird to see that now. There's a lot of blackmail material. I was on the road at nine years old. Oh my god. There were people who drew Barrymore. It was like this couple. This guy and his girl that would follow us to shows and film almost everything. So everyone's while something pops up. The guitar player up front. Yeah. Danny Roberts. He was in Mudcrutch. This is Penny's emotional band. Anyone else hard? Look how cute. See if I was a woman, I would just see the fingering abilities here. This is so hot. Then you go to jail. So he's 13. Good boy. And that guy Rick Stott. He was driving tour buses a few years later. So he put it down. My uncle's timpani's in the back. We've heard of that. That's a doing almond shirt. That's killer. This is so cool. It'd be in that good at something at that age. Does it kind of kill your social life? So yeah, nobody in my school cared about that. That was not cool. What I was in middle school. When they're going to party and stuff, you're like, I got to practice. I'm so good at this. I was on the road, man. That's like 13. You're just on the road. Yeah. So you really were nine to 13. Yeah. What do your parents say about this? I mean, they were out with me. It was mainly weekends. Yeah. Miss a little bit of school. Teachers were good about giving you work in advance. They could tell that you're legit at this. Yeah. I mean, they knew something was up. So until high school, they kind of stopped caring in high school. They're like, you have to be there this many days or you're not going to pass. We get to finish your math homework. Did you see that solo? Yeah. That's going to be big. Even though I would notice a few of my high school teachers out front at shows. Wow. They were failing me. That is hilarious. So I ended up at home school in the last years. A high school took my SATs and all that stuff on the road after shows. Oh my god. Just to let my mom know I wasn't a total degenerate. Yeah. Yeah. But it was, it was an amazing run. I mean, those were fun years. That is a silly question. But do you worry that the youngsters now with the AI and all the shit, they're not going to take the time to string away and fail and learn? I mean, I mean, you do, I think in the arts in general, do you kind of worry about that? Yeah. But I think there's always pockets of people that just enjoy doing things because you enjoy doing it. Sure. And so I think that's probably safe, which those knees are incredible. But the thing that I feel lucky, I'm glad I was ahead of the technological curve was I could pretty much cut my teeth and bars every night without it being posted the next day. Here, here. So true. And I know I'm sure in your world it's even more so when you're working out material. Yes. You don't want people. But since I'm a little bit in trouble for that like years ago, he had a sandy hook. It was like when people really had turned on Louis and yeah, yeah, yeah, a sandy hook bit. Yeah. Not the bit you want to be captured. Especially when it's not landing, but he was like, I was like, dude, let it. Let it give him a minute. Yeah, it's not special. He's going to figure it out. So I had many years of we play every night. You're on to the next city and even if people were recording it, it wasn't it wasn't like the next city didn't know how bad you were. Right, right. You were working it out. So yeah, I kind of worry about that for up and coming artists is like as soon as you learn something, you want to share it with people and you can. And maybe you shouldn't. I agree. Completely. There's something about paying your dues and actually putting the work in that I don't know. I feel lucky that I was able to. Yeah. And an anonymity is a gift. It is, man. It is. I remember listening to some early Richard prior, yeah, like some bootlegs had going, wow, he wasn't that funny yet. It kind of like it kind of gave me a lot of hope because you're like, he also might have been on a lot of drugs. Yeah. I think it was even before like, it's like he was such a master and you're like, even he had to cut his teeth. Exactly. When you hear like early Charlie Parker or cold train, you're like, wow, he wasn't that guy yet. That's good for me. Well, it's that famous mile Miles Davis quote, right? It takes you a long time to sound like yourself. Yeah. Yeah. For comedy, you're like, it takes you're a progier 13. There's no great comic at 13. No. Yeah, you're right. It's a, that's a different thing. Yeah. The other great Miles Davis quote, John Coltrane was going through this period where it was just sheets of sound. And he's like, man, I just, when I start playing a solo, I just, I don't know how to stop. I can't stop. And my house goes, just take the fucking horn out of your mouth. That's actually good advice for a lot of things. He's a scary guy. You ever watch some of his interviews on YouTube? He was a wild man. There's one floating around now. There was like some morning TV show that thought it'd be a good idea. He had these up and coming trumpet players in a way. And Miles judge them. It's like 12-year-old kid. He gets done playing. It's like Miles. So what do you think of his sound? And he goes, he knows what he sounds like. That was just a ice cold. Man, man, that's, that's bad. Well, yeah, norm, too hard. Norman Dunnell was the judge on last comic, you know, it's NBC. It's all nice and family and all this and Normie like, yeah, it's really bad. Yeah, it's a fucking flu there from Cleveland season. I wasn't on that season. I was on that season. Oh, really? And I was like, Keenan dug me, but, but Rosanne and Norm cobbled him in me. I was like, all right, I'll take it. Yeah, that's perfect. Man, Norm was incredible. The king. Yeah, man, he is one of my favorites. Bill Hicks and Norm. Hell yeah. Yeah, you got good taste. Yeah, when you listen to Bill Hicks stuff now and you're like, I love the albums where he's bombing. The flanks are all between you. He's just furious. The crap. It's amazing. Same. There's a few Bill Hicks rants that are. Yeah, all time. All time. Well, the screaming one where he screams at the ladies. That's a bad comment though. That's like, that's like, but he was still articulate. We got still entertaining. Of course, of course. I had a, I had a Bill Hicks. I never got to see him, but Susan's friends with Willie Nelson and his wife and she surprised me in Hawaii. We were doing a tour in Japan, stopping in Hawaii for a few gigs and she and Susan's like, I'll meet you there. We'll go stay at a friend's house and I was like, I'd really rather just go to a hotel. Yeah, she's like, trust me. So she picks me up. Go to this house. They have this wing of the house. They just let me crash because I'm, you know, jet lagged and I wake up in the middle of the night, wander the kitchen. I didn't know whose house it was yet and Willie Nelson wanders out. Hey, you jet lagged. You hungry. I was like, I am actually, so I'm staying with Willie for a week. What? Who's the most amazing human on earth? He had this gambling room. Django's orchid lounge. He's poker. It was chess. He's like sharp as a damn tack. But I was asking him about Bill Hicks because he lived in Austin and like I knew his politics would be the same as Willie's and he didn't know about him. So I went to his living room as families there and I was like, pull up. I figured what record like Rant and E minor or whichever one it was and she just pops on this one that's just says Willie and the right when it started, I was like, oh shit. This is Bill Hicks going any artist that does an advertisement. You are all, all of the artistic rollercovers ever that goes for anybody except maybe Willie Nelson. He was like, Willie was so kind of high. He's doing Taco Bell commercials and he just goes and so hard on Willie. I just met this guy. Wow. This is when we should go to a shop. I really thought he was just going to be like, who is this asshole in my house like playing this? But then Willie laughs and there are a few days like, man, that Bill Hicks stuff was great. He's a cool guy. He could do a joke. There it is. It's Taco Bell and so kind of a bill for that of some shit. I mean that was back when he did pay his taxes. All right. Let's give him just give me a taste of this meltdown he has here on this lady. Crowns love it. You're everything that America should be flushed down the toiletly fucking turd. Get out. Get out. You fucking drunk bitch. Sounds like my dad talking to my mom. I showed this Madonna recently. She was beautiful. That was great. Yeah. Bill Hicks is he was one of a kind. He would have done well now. A lot to talk about. Holy crap. Fucking I ran. We got to bring up I know probably a million people about this up to you, but the guitar you're playing the Jerry Garcia guitar the $12 million guitar This is crazy. That was wild. Yeah, how did how did you get your hands on this and how like how did the auction think Yeah, how do you get your hands on this and how the auction thing go? I mean it was kind of my chance One of my friends was in town He's actually part of APW with us and he was going down He's him and a few partners were going down to take a shot at that Garcia guitar Mm-hmm, and so they they it's called family guitar as a collect guitars and get them out to musicians to play and they like try to keep them in the In the stream instead of locked away So I went down just to kind of watch the spectacle We made a John Coltrane horned up for sale that was like estimated like 40 K and I was like I'll take a run at that It went for like 400 Yeah, I think a very long run at it. Yeah, yeah, I was there like this will be fun And then the David Gilmore guitar went for like 12 14 million Wow, I was like what is happening in here. There was a drumhead the Beatles drumhead from Ed Sullivan I think it was like 2.8 Okay drumhead who's buying this that who knows man? There was a lot of internet business all Elon Musk, but yeah, but they I've buddy ended up getting that guitar of the Garcia guitar And they brought it out for the next few nights to the beacon you got to keep it in the dressing room like security detail with that guitar I mean, there's probably should have been but once that once we got it to the beacon They they let me just kind of keep track of it in the keep it in the dressing room and It's fun to play it. I've never played a guitar like that. It's like 13 and a half pounds like Really unique instrument look at that beautiful. I mean it the the the work woodwork on that thing is wild super articulate sounding and playing It's similar to the SG I play. I found out it has like a metal nut metal bridge Mm-hmm. So when I would really get on it. I think I broke two or three strings right on the top of it Damn, so you can't manhandle it the way you can my guitar. It's it's much more Precision instrument, but by the second night I felt like I could really get inside of it figured out Some of the sounds, but it was it was quite fun to play. It's not something you do every day. Yeah, yeah That the guy also brought out one of Frank's appers guitars the baby snakes guitar and that thing was wild It's pretty the fastest guitar ever played the way it was set up. Yeah, Frank's app out like less Paul and those guys They were they would tinker with their instruments. They would they would just modify him I think it had like a fuzz face. Oh yeah, so it was like a rocket ship that thing that was fun to play damn Yeah, I have Bill Cosby's bed That is the thing we don't we don't do that. We don't I've never we don't buy like Jerry's Mike. Yeah, that's true Yeah, dude. This is this is more solstool I got skinny microphones, but that's true. What is that about comics because we don't we don't care about the Mike Yeah, but like his diary Yeah, that's to it like a note that would be kind of cool. No bads good Whose carlens notebook. That'll be cool. Yeah, and in Rogan's club. He's got a danger fields jokebook and notes on the wall I've seen that's beautiful. Pretty cool. We ran into George Carlin on the road earlier We were playing the same casino. I was like snuck into a show and then after our gig was this I think it was probably Vegas I don't I don't remember we didn't do a lot of casino shows with the almonds. So I'm assuming but I remember going to the elevator after our show and It's closing and Carlin walks in was the lady sounds like hell yeah It's incredible. I don't know they worked with it or what the deal was but yeah, he rolled in he rolled in hard just It was quite a moment. Yeah, he parted till the end. Yeah, he's a he's a hero man. His stuff holds up. Oh, yeah He's like a Bill Hicks or those guys where you like it just it's never wrong. Yeah He's one of those go with the right and the left claim them. They're like look he calls everybody He's like I hate all of you. Yeah, I love the angle the the albums like complaints and grievances where every bit just starts Like here's another group of people who'd mother plans on included abortion. Yeah, it starts every premise with That was how you really feel. Yeah, yeah, holy cow. He's the man. That's great touring with the almonds when you were that young He's got to be insane. Is that just or you just it was pretty wild. I mean, I was 19 when I Got the call and I think I just turned 20 when I did the first gigs with him And uh, just hit the ground running at that. Oh, sorry. Anything you saw too young. We're like actually by the time I got there They were all like just reformed and toy poodles and watching like Matt Locke in the back of the bus and whatever it was It was pretty mellow from It's gonna be a party to like we gotta we gotta watch some law and order It was funny because when when I met Susan she had double trouble steaver avon's old band is her backup band And so it was it was the almond brothers and Susan and her band and they knew Greg from the early like hardcore partying days And so they would not let Susan come on the bus with like I was on Greg's bus And they were just like you're not going over there. It's smart. So I had to like court her band to Stay out with Sue, but I appreciated that they were protective of her and they weren't gonna let her go Even though it was a boring ass bus. We were on at that point. Yeah, not a drop of alcohol. Yeah. Yeah, they were I thought that was very sweet. Hey, for a white Russian almond milk Huh? Like almond with this booze just say it. Okay. Put it. Put it in the backpack Oh, you're right I was whiskey shit. Yeah. My bad swamp water. There you go. That's actually probably good on my ulcer right now white Russian. Oh, there you go I want to gain the system code it Or pepto we can make a pepto cocktail Thank you bet we should cut it back a little bit. Yeah, you're right, but uh damn you should hang with the almonds are you just like Are you just picking their brain at all times like what are you trying to get out of them when you when you're that young? I mean, you know, that was the first music I listened to so it was uh, they were heroes and I mean my uncle was in the band I didn't see him a lot as a kid. They were we were I grew up in Jacksonville, Florida. My dad's it was a rufur my mom worked at the elementary school And so I heard stories about that stuff, but I wasn't around it. But yeah, they were kind of mythological creatures to me Oh, yeah, so when I finally met him and I well I flew out 1314 and played in Greg solo band for a while. Yeah, that was pretty wild insane But your friends are schooled on understand. No, they could care less man. They thought that was the lame shit I really think he could listen to real music like ace of bass. All right, 100% that's what was going on Janet Jackson. I mean, that was here. I think I think it was middle school. Maybe six grade Entertainment tonight that this piece on me and they've fallen me around school And that's back when it was like big cameras and shit and they're hiding Right spots and everyone's like why are they following this nerd? Like other than two or three of my closest friends had no idea that I played you always got it You brought you closer. I mean, yeah, but they kind of got it But they didn't listen to real music at that point. Well, you're so advanced at that age like your skill level that you and no one's really listening to music at that age You know, music music some people are but it's like boy bands maybe but then they come around, you know high school college and it becomes a thing Wow Look at little that's crazy. How would you hear do you think? What is that 91 11 12 that is crazy? That's wild What is that buzzy meekens on base? That's the word of stuff This is insane. Wow, you know look at these haircuts. Yeah, he had the best hair That's a beautiful mop It's a great audio on this one. Yeah, that footage is from this club in South Florida called tropics International right on the strip next to the Cleveland Now that's the first time I met the almond brothers was there Greg and my uncle Came out set in whoa I remember there was a picture of all of us on that stage and their liquor bottles in front of the stage because the stage was On top of the bar in my grandparent's house Super Southern Baptist. They have like Piece of construction paper over the liquor bottles That's amazing will Lee from letterman's band look at that Damn Rocking the short still long shorts. Hell yeah, that was a hyper color shirt. Those were big in the 90s That was a knockoff hyper color And what are your parents saying when they see this? Well, see my dad and mom were huge music fans. All right They Elliot Easton From the cars is that right? Wow I remember that was a it was it a so big music store thoroughbred music down in Tampa and they would throw a festival every year. Okay. It was letterman's band and ton fig and Will Lee I forget who that was Yeah, those weird memories. I haven't seen that in a bit Wow, I mean my parents uh grew up My dad went AWOL from military school to see the film or almond brother shows like that stuff was like his that was his stuff He saw Hendrix a few times as kids he would take it to the Jacksonville Jazz festival to see miles to see To see Ray Charles to see so what music was was important. We just he just didn't play it I mean and so yeah, but what age do you do you see that you have this ability? So I got a guitar at a garage sale at like I think nine years old And my dad played a little bit like enough to like woo my mom play like bread songs or And so he figured out quick that I had, I had taken to it and he knew a guy that played with my uncle, guy named Jim Graves, and he gave me a few lessons and asked me to come sit in at the local blues club like a, whoa, it's like an open mic thing. So I started playing with him and then another local blues band, Ace Moreland in the Wetside story. And then we went to Toronto in '89 or '90 and then it was just kind of off to the races at that point. But Ace was incredible. Well, he was a left-handed guitar player. I think he was full-blooded Cherokee. He was incredible, like very few Native American blues artists. He was like Jesse at Davis, but Ace Moreland was one of these guys. And that dude could sing. He played slide. He played slide with a microphone stand like he had all the, all the drip and swagger. But he died way too young, but yeah, Ace was quite something, cancer got him. He was with an Oklahoma, but he was down in Jacksonville for a while. It was this weird pipeline between Tulsa and Florida. But Tulsa had Leon Russell had like the old Derrick and the Domino's at Clapton Band, Matt Dog's and Englishman at Joe Cocker band. There were all these Tulsa musicians. It was just amazing. Interesting. Amazing scene there. So he was kind of on the edge of that scene. There's that rock club in Tulsa, you know what I'm saying? Cain's ballroom. Yeah. It's amazing. I've been there and it's like. It's so bad. They brag about it. They brag about it. This is where the sex pistols punched a hole in the water. Oh, really? That's fucking awesome. That's Fillmore East photo you just had up, you got to go back to that thing. Yeah. So that was taken for the Fillmore East show and here, of course, in New York City. But the picture was taken in making Georgia downtown because when we were at Greg's funeral, we were in the car with Dickie Betts there and we drove by that wall and he's pointing out to his son. That's where we took the photo. But Jim Marshall took that photo, the great photographer. Can you enjoy it behind it? Oh, yeah. Please stop. It's on the right there, one leg out, grinning. He said Jim Marshall just treated him like just thick assholes. So the bands piss. They're just like, we're going to kill this guy like that. Well, it's not going well. And so Dwayne tells somebody to like, go get my buddy and like, go score a bag. Yeah. It goes back with the big old bag of drugs and flings it at Dwayne and he grabs it and he's holding it between his legs there and the bands just finally, they like laugh. Like, finally, it's like the one shot. I think the band finally scored all the good side of drugs, guys. That's right. Bill Hampton. They tell a good story. That's amazing. Where are you at on Link Ray? You don't link Ray? I love him, man. Oh, dude. That's a guitar tone right there. Yeah, I was trying to find music for dope, my special. And I was going through guitar lick. So I wanted something without words. Pretty bad ass. And I fell in love with this guy. They never heard of him. Oh, it's so good. A lot of, uh, it's like an old fender black face amp with a bunch of layers from a whole fiction. This is great. Yes. This is the only instrumental ever to be banned on radio. It's so just seductive. It's so sexy. What? It's called rumble. So the power of the beat. Get it off. We don't want kids acting up. I mean, that song will make it crazy right there. Oh, yeah. It's so cool. Man, he opened the door. Look, we got a wet ass pussy. [LAUGHTER] All the way. That's on the radio. Look at it. That's it. Oh, sorry. That and like Booker T and the MGs. Yeah. I mean, when you can make an instrumental, that compelling. Yeah, totally. Totally. There's a guy in the four-- 49 years. Four is gump. That song. I can't think of the guy who's saying it or who played it. It's incredible. It's in four is gump when he's running with the ball and he becomes a football star. He's being chased by the bullies and they're throwing rocks at him. Is that a cartoon? Yeah. You don't know. Is that something? What is it? Maybe. Well, you got to go to the beginning. The beginning. The beginning. You retard. I ran to get wild. You can't go further. That's it. I never thought that was the name of the world. Maybe he did get it. Maybe that is not good, sir. Oh, yeah, it is. Oh, it is. Look, OK. What is that? That's a lot of horror stories, too. Oh, I don't know. But that's the motivation for it, by opening my special. These songs, they all go and hurt them. They're all amazing. That's what we need. We need a song and a movie. Yeah. I think you're doing fine. You must get hit up for that. Occasionally. Not as much as I thought, because we did a lot of instrumental music in the early days. We were like, we just need gas in this bus. Like, we need one song and a movie. Welcome. Did you get any at first or no? No, we had a-- we had a Levi's ad with my solo band that bought our Winnebago. I remember we got-- I was checked for, like, 38 grand, and we went to the-- band Winnebago. That was pretty sweet. And then, recently, there was a Chevy ad where they used the song. But it's funny, early days. Back then, that was something you really thought about. Do you want your music in an ad? It was a total different mindset. Yeah. It was like, I don't think I want it. Well, they call some people "sell us" when they do it now. What'd you read on that? If it's a big band and-- You know, I feel like-- I feel like there's a line. What is it for if you need it, then I get it. But it's a different day, man. You don't sell records anymore. There's more music. It's like it's kind of a losing proposition. So I don't know. I don't judge people as harshly as I used to go for it. I mean, I feel like if you can get through the day, making music, do what you got to do as long as-- Yeah. I mean, there's certain things I wouldn't want by music used for. Sure. Political rallies and stuff like that. J6, they were struggling. I don't want it to be the theme. Yeah. But I mean, George Clooney's doing coffee ads. Jimmy Fallon's doing bank ads. I mean, it's all changed now. Well, for a while, like you would only notice that you go to Japan and like all your favorite stars are here to check this out. You'd never do it in the States, but it's a different world now. Oh, yeah, it's open game. I mean, it's open. Matthew McConaughey's a Lincoln car, whatever it is. But he made it look kind of cool. Yeah. That's the trick, I guess. It's weird for athletes. It's totally different, no one cares. No one even thinks of it. Oh, you're an athlete, like made it. Yeah, it's great. Yeah. That's true. And a lot of those are like, you got to get a signature shoe. Yeah, otherwise you're a joke. Right. Yeah, people have a shoe. It's weird. Yeah. Yeah, but athletes judge differently and a lot of stuff, though, I think. Yeah. But the whiskey's going to-- that's going to put you on top because-- Well, that's a labor of love, actually. OK. We're fans of that, me and my brother, for years would go look for dusties down to the deep cells, you go, hit these old liquor stores. And 15, 20 years ago, you could find incredible stuff sitting right there. And we found like three packs of papi for retail. What? What? Wow. But then once that bubble burst, it was over. You'd find stuff. They're like, it's $2,000. So like, well, you can keep it. All right. At first, you could really find things. Are you a straight bourbon or a rye or a guy? Yeah, mainly. I like a good rum, too, though. Yeah. We were very unsophisticated rum drinkers. Yeah. I mean, I'll drink bad rum, too. We all have rum and coke. But the best counter for Chuga. It could be the swizzle. The swizzles, the thing there. But yeah, I don't know anything about rum. Yeah. What's a Pachuga? Pachuga is like a mezcal where they put meat in the thumper. Wow. It's like an old style. Like, they'll hang like a turkey. It'll make a smokeier. It gives it a thing, man. It gives it a twang. Man, meat in the thumper sounds like gay code. I can't walk today. It'll be in the thumper for Pachuga. But yeah, you'll have to search one of those out. Let me know how it goes. Yeah, nice. It might be good for the stomach, man. Yeah, yeah. A lot of producers like you have another ulcer. They're post-biotics. There are trucks told me to keep drinking. I don't know. I do love a mezcal. Nothing would be better. What a mezcal and a grooney, dude. If you wanted those, it was so good. It's fun. Yeah, you'll like the Pachuga. So wait, if you're a 12-piece band and you're at the beacon, that little elevator, that must be 16 rides going up there. A lot of people have to walk. Yeah. They've been on age, seniority in the band, how well they played that night. Attitude, general attitude. And we need a doc about you guys. Because you've never seen the band? What is it, last waltz? Oh, man, incredible. Fucking love Leavon Helm. Yeah, Leavon was the best. He was the best. We got to spend some time with Leavon. Really? He was one of those guys that if you were in the room with him, you just felt better for it. Like that dude who leave and everyone's just kind of-- Yeah, glad. Shit, what a good human being. He was special. He's a hero, sure. There was a producer I worked with. And he had just done a track with Leavon. And he said, he's the only guy that could just play two and four and make you cry. Yeah. The groove was so simple, but no one can do it that way. No, but-- It had a loop to it. It's when you could play something that simple and just stand out from everybody. It's a wild thing. Yeah. He was just humanity. He was like, he was that person. Right. Then he'd get on a tractor and go plow a field. Exactly, exactly. He would drum and sing incredibly well. What's got to be, it's so hard. I mean, one of the highlights-- I remember playing the beacon with the almond brothers. I think it was the 40th anniversary, called a lot of old friends of the band. And one night, Leavon came out and Taj Mahal. And we did the wait. Damn. Leavon wanted his kit set up with my uncle and Jemo. So it was three kits on stage. It was Leavon on the side, Oteel, me. And Leavon's just looking across the stage, singing, playing the wait. Taj Mahal, sings a verse, Greg sings a verse. You're saying holy shit. It was a heavy evening. Damn. Those were quite fun. Yeah. Yeah, Leavon was amazing. I think there's a drum instructional of him and just some of the best. He's like, and if you're Tom Tom's ring, you just put some tape on it. Tape on it. You're like, that's actually good advice. Elton Johnson. Nobody should drum and sing, except leave on. - Yeah, I think he's right. Leave on was something. Our studio in Jacksonville was based on his barn up on his property. - Oh, shit. - 'Cause I remember, I went up there with the same producer that was talking about his drumming. He brought me up there for this session with the band and was with Rick Danko who was still alive in Garth Hudson. And I was 15 or 16. I knew the band were, but not really. And I remember walking into that place and you just felt like, oh, this is entirely different than anything I've been around. When I left that day, that session, I ended up playing on the tune. It really changed the way I thought about music. - Wow. - Rick Danko actually, no one had ever produced a solo of Bond I was playing. He's like, just pretend that you're breathing through it. Like, don't fill all the space. And I was like, really made me step back and think about it as like a songwriter or a singer instead of just go. - It sounds like a comedy, too. Like if you're coming off with too much energy. - Yeah, like you can be off-putting. - Right. - Machine Leonard Cohen's at the garden and seeing that energy in a room that can be-- - I'm just thinking about Leonard Cohen. - Yeah, but he just could control room with just this low energy and I'm like, that is fucking-- - I mean, that's a master master. - Yeah. I think Leonard Cohen was about as good as it got. - Totally. - Yeah, look at that. - Love them. - I think he's top tier. I have a friend that has been at every show I've ever played at the Beacon, which is like up in the mid-200s now. - Dan, now crazy. - Pretty wild, but he, my friend went and saw Leonard Cohen twice on that last tour and he called me after each show and he was like, I think that's the single greatest show I've ever seen. He was like about an hour or two in this, just the air shifted. - Yeah. - And he just, like, and you just wouldn't expect it 'cause he's not a great singer, he's not, but he just draws you in and it's the greatest songs. I mean, Suzanne is one of the greatest songs in the need of some own version of Suzanne. - I don't know that, I gotta listen to that. - There's two of them, but there's one with a full band. It's just, it's one of my favorite courted potentials. - Put that in a rack, Dan. - Yeah, it's so badass. - Yeah, there's a straight story of Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan talking I read about and Leonard Cohen's like, oh, I love this song years. How long did it take you to write that? And Bob Dylan goes 15 minutes? - Yeah. - And he goes, I love Hallelujah. And he goes, yeah, that took me five years. (laughing) - Yeah, I don't like 100 verses of what it's, I mean, he's got pages of verses that just didn't make the cut. - Damn. - Leonard Cohen would work on a tune forever. - Do you feel that way with like, when you're playing a guitar, you're like, is it never kind of dawn? You're always kind of like, I have a new angle, you have a new tag. - Oh yeah, I mean, I think that's the beauty of music as you, same with what you guys do, is you never have to hang it up. It's not like an athlete where there's a shelf life, you know, I feel bad for guys that put that much energy into something that like 31, you're like, you're a little longer than the tooth. - Yeah. - I mean, we're like kind of just getting going, I mean, I feel, I'm 46 now and I feel, I feel like we're just kind of getting into the thick of it in a way. - You're 46 and you've been playing since you were nine. - That's a lot of years on the road, man. - Yeah. - A lot of road years. - Damn, that's awesome. - Yeah, I feel lucky that we get to, you get to hone your craft. I remember watching that Giro dreams of sushi doggy. - Oh yeah. - And he was just talking about getting it good at something is pretty easy. Like that first 90%, that next five percent, it gets a lot harder that those last two, three, four, five, like that's where everyone taps out. - That's true. - You can even get great at something pretty easily, but it's that Leonard Cohen shit or that next level where most people are just, they're like, I did it, I made it, I'm done, they kind of stop and you can totally tell no matter how good somebody gets. You can tell when they've stopped trying or kicking. - That's true. - Like because you are gonna drift backwards. - Right, you just have to like love it or, like-- - You have to love it, you have to be-- - You have to need it. - Yeah, agreed, you have to be a little crazy. You gotta be a little competitive. I'm just like, I'm done motherfucker. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - You see other people, you see up there, you're like, fuck, I gotta step it up. - Oh yeah, all the time. - Like, there's someone else in your life. - Yeah, I mean shit, that's one of the reasons we have our 12 piece band is 'cause there's guys on stage that are kicking your ass every night. - Right. - And you wanna, you don't wanna be the one left behind, you know, so you don't wanna be the guy on the team that's a lagging or way in the thing down. So that's part of it. But yeah, I mean, you try to surround yourself with the best you can find or go see the best you can see. - Yeah. - And yeah, it's a beautiful thing. You definitely find time for you like, oh, this is, this part's really easy. But then maybe some things you thought you had in the bag, get a little loose on you. You gotta go shed that. (laughing) - Like a mole in a way. - And then you gotta see what you're not great at and lean into it. - Yeah. - Which is very hard. - And a lot of times it's trimming away the fat. It's, it's realizing that you don't have to do all of it in time to find and find and the good stuff. - It's tough to listen to yourself though. - Oh man. - And it's tough to know the off ramp, like when you're making a record of like, when can you, you can't overproduce a thing. You can overthink a bit or anything. There's a, there's a sweet spot where it's like, where it sings and it. - Yes. - And there's a time where you can just beat it to death. - That's true. - So like when you're recording with a full band, you kind of, you kind of think of these things ahead of time. You don't want the band overrehearsed. You're like, you want to have the song idea and then you want to be set up and ready to capture it when the band gets it for the first time. Like you play it two or three times. You want to get it on the second or third take. You don't want to get it on the tenth take 'cause then everyone's trying to recreate something they, a little magic they had made earlier. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - It's nice when you can capture it when it's peaking. So. - Is it a place you feel like you capture it best? Is it like a venue or a city where you're like, "This is. " - Well, we built a studio at home about, I guess, 2006. - Where's home? Jacksonville. - Oh, okay, got it. - So down in the swamp, we have this great room that the band formed in and everyone feels really comfortable there and we just, every record we kind of added to it and tweaked it. So that place feels comfortable. - But what about like a. - I mean, the beacon is one of them. That's why we keep coming back is, it's kind of where we check in every year see if we've made any progress or lost some ground and when we do 10 nights we try to not repeat that many tunes. So you'll do 100 plus different songs over the 10 nights. - Wow. - Do you get the nerds that do the, you know, they got the fish guys who don't see fish? Like the setup was different, the lineup was different. Do you guys do all that? - People pay attention. So that keeps us on our toes, which is nice. We keep a rehearsal room set up on the seventh floor. So we do sound check and then we go rehearse the band after that before the show. So we keep it moving. - Wow, now you mentioned Leonard Cohen, your friends said best show, what's the best show you've ever seen? - I don't know, I've seen a few Ray Charles when I was really young. - Wow. - That's crazy. - I mean getting to be on tour with BB King and those guys. - I saw the video of you with BB King. You're playing for BB King. - Man, that was John Mayors there too. - Yeah, that was an epic tour. - And they're both just clearly praising you. - BB was so sweet. - Wow. - I saw Stevie Wonder about 10 years ago. - Yeah. - It was pretty life-changing. - She didn't see you. - We don't know. I still have a speed of dreams in the video. - Yeah. - He caught a mic stand once. - I saw him drive in. It was weird. - We did a show over BB Netanyahu and that was a-- - We bombed. - I got some doughmen. - What a-- - That's good. - Yeah, that's a Ray Charles. That's insane to see him live. - That's crazy. - And BB King. - Yeah, Stevie Wonder. Give me a whitey. Just throw one whitey in. Just for the hell of it, come on. - I never got to see Litter-Coins. - All right, I saw him a couple of times and it was towards the end. - I mean, to be honest, there were nights standing next to Greg Amman on stage with the Amman Brothers where he would belt something out and you would just go, "Oh, there he is." - Yeah. - There's that thing, like every once in a while, man. There was a song that we would open the show with sometimes. It's an instrumental. Don't want you to know more and it goes into, it's not my cross-debar. There's this pregnant pause and Greg would come in with the first line and be the first vocal of the night and you could just feel everybody's hair in the room. When he would pen it, it was special. - Yeah. - And Greg could be all over the map. You know, he'd be sick or he'd be on his substance or whatever and then he'd be clean and you never knew what you were gonna get but when it was on, he was different. - What was your relationship? I mean, what's your relationship like with him? - He was super sweet to me from a young age. - That's good. - He took me under his wing and he was always a gentleman and he, I mean, he changed my life, so. - Wow, I have crazy a show I ever saw and I never was even familiar with the band. I took a little bit of Shrooms, New Orleans Jazz Fest, John Batiste. - Oh yeah, Batiste is great. - He is unreal. It was like a spiritual, like I was moved. I mean, again, I was on drugs. - When he was maybe 18 or so, he was playing in Wynton Marsalis's band at what is it, the Rose Center down there? And we played a show. Me and Sue played with Wynton's orchestra. Batiste was the piano player and you could tell then, you're like, "Oh, that dude's a freak." - Oh, really? - That dude's a bad ass. - Oh yeah, he's the best trumpet player on Earth, I guess. - Yeah, he's one of them. - One of them. - He was great from New Orleans. - Yep, a lot of great guys from New Orleans. - Yeah. - I don't think cities you love going to again again. - I mean, New Orleans is one of them. - Yeah. - Our drummer is from Tula Home of Tennessee. - Really? - He lives down in New Orleans. - Hey! - Jamo, the only original surviving almond brothers members from down at golf port. So he grew up playing with all those New Orleans cats. - Oh yeah, we got him. - Randy Newman, what's his name? Jimmy Buffett cut his teeth there, apparently. - Oh, Dr. John. - A lot of the great drummers. Like, I got named James Black at Blackwell. Zigaboo from the meters. Like those guys. And then Alan Tussant. [BLANK_AUDIO] - Oh, of course. - Yeah, and Jaymo knew all those guys, so when we would play, you'd see him side stage, you're like, you'd see somebody just dressed to the non, you're like, is Alan Tusson? - Yeah, and Harry Connick had a similar childhood playing you, playing early. - And you know, the Marsalis' and the Batisse family, like, so John Batisse comes from a very long line of incredible musicians down there. There's like, there's a few families of music down there that are just, it's thick. - Yeah, man. I've been doing it since the '40s, and they, some of them are professors at the colleges, some of them are just playing in the clubs, where they're all equally just freakish. - Yeah, it's, yeah. - We also got Louis Prima and Louis Armstrong, just like. - Oh, yeah. - Sorry. - It's a long list. - I'm claiming my hometown. What do you got here? - So we only have four minutes. - Oh, Jesus. - I don't know if you could bless us with something. We have brought a guitar, just to play us out. - Oh, it's not tuned though. - It might be. - It might be tuned. Take a look there. - See what I can do. Just stuff there, give that, give that just, caress it like a, like a preteen. - Oh my god. - I'm playing an open tuning. - Okay. - It might be open tuned. I strummed it, I think it's. - Yeah, so you get it prepared for you. - Woo! - All right, let's see if we can get us to cup and four minutes or less. (laughing) - Let's see. - By ear. (guitar music) - Oh, there it is. - I like this. What is it? Epiphone. - You don't fucking know. (laughing) (laughing) - We can play slide with that. - Oh, hell yeah. That's what you know, you got a problem. (laughing) Oh, that's awesome. - Woo! - 12 million buckets are, who needs it? Yeah, that's a piece of junk. - You know, it'd be better if I could tune it, but. - Sure, sure. - That's a job. - All right, we threw it on your last minute. But look how natural it is, you fall right on that thing. - Did you play? - No, no, I can't. - I'm a piano man. - No, at all. That's crazy. - Wow. - That was awesome. - That's fun. - Well dude, congrats on all these nights of the beacon. It's amazing and congrats on all the successes. - It's pretty fun man, the beacon runs or something else. So, you know, we've had some friends in the neighborhood, Warren Haynes who have played for 15 years. The armoured brothers showed up the other night, and it was awesome to see the crowd response when he walked out. There's a lot of appreciation for the time he's put in there. So, you could, it's a really educated audience for our type of music at our beacon shows. Like they know the history. - I love that. - They know all the back stories. So, when we finished the other night, and he walked off, it was an awesome ovation. You could, it's nice to see one of your, one of your musical Kim Padres just get it, when the people give it up properly. - Yeah. - Like in church, you get house. - Right, right. - He got house, it was good. - I'm such a dork. I only learned about him from Dave Matthews back in college. - And a friend who was really into the almond brothers back in the day, so that was like, you know, when you're drinking in a bar jukebox, you just play a bunch of almond, like this is great. - Yeah, great music. - Yeah, blue sky's probably my favorite track of theirs. - Yeah. - It's the best. - Duane almond and dickie at their best. - Yeah. - Such a groove. - Oh, it's so good. Any artist you hate real quick, where we go. - I mean, there's quite a few, but I should probably not name them at this point. - All right, I understand. Take that Marcus King. - No, we like Marcus. - No, awesome. - But thank you, dear. You're the man, you're a legend. - We coming on. - You guys, yeah. - Yeah. - Yeah. - And get some goddamn ass pocket. - Get some ass pocket whiskey. - That's incredible. - Awesome. - Thank you, guys. - Thank you, wow. Hey, boy, that was a great combo. That was fun. - Yeah, he was awesome. - He is so good. He can talk. - He's on a tour bus for 30 years with those freaks. You gotta be able to-- - Since you're nine. - Yeah. - I didn't know since I knew he was a project. I knew he was on the road since he was nine. - I didn't either. - That is wild, yeah. - Amazing. - And he was shredding. That was so cool. - The people have been played for us, too. That was incredible. Clip that. - Good, good thinking, Sally. - So we got some dates, Mark. - Yeah, I mean, water down. - I'm working on a new hour. It's rusty. It's clunky.
