Has it ever affected you at the border or something on tour? It has. What is a day without a piece of chocolate? Why live it? I've been away for almost my entire life. I just need to listen to music. So how excited you are to admit 22? I'm glad you never gave up. I feel like I'm fatter now than I ever have been. Dude, you're... You're salivating. I'm going to go home and put on pornography. Do you have any words for your full-figured listeners? Uh, rock on. Horns out. Hell yeah. You did that interview with Bob Mould recently. Yeah. Is he going to go on the road soon? There's rumors that Sugar is going to do... I mean, he's doing... Sugar's doing two shows over here and two in New York. That would truly be a lot for you guys. What? Like, playing with them. Oh, yeah. That would be a dream. I told our agent, like, you need to get this done. Yeah.

If they go on tour, we want to be in, our name needs to be in the hat for sure. Yeah. So, yeah. Who's this? Sugar, Bumwald, Huska Do. Okay. Yeah. That's one of those bands that I know has meant a lot to you. And I know that at least in general is one of those bands that I constantly reference as like a goat band. It's what I've never put in the time with. Yeah. They'll always be there. Anytime you're ready. Huska is my all-time favorite band. Damn. Yeah. what's that one song of this the girl from something hill or something like that heaven hill is that it yeah girl from heaven hill that's the one song i know and it's it's good yeah is it life changing that that album did change my life okay yeah new day rising were your parents like big music heads what was your kind of trajectory um my parents my dad plays flute and she plays flute on two songs on raspberry moon the new album so um my mom played a little bit of piano But not really. Not good enough for the album. Maybe next time. Yeah. They play a lot of music for us in the house. My mom would buy a lot of CDs and give them to us. She bought me a chocolate starfish in the hot chocolate flavor water. Hell yeah. Did she know what that means? I don't know what it means. Come on, dude. She also bought me Is This It by The Strokes. yeah she was she was i guess a music head so she was kind of tapped in yeah she also bought a fugazi cd before i was even like you know more than a sparkle what is it twinkle in my dad's eye i don't know that's a cum reference yeah before i was a spunk bubble before you were a scum bubble yeah skunk bubble um what is it spunk spunk bubble yeah that's what i heard um yeah there was a fugazi cd in my house when i was born so Do you think that might have soundtracked your conception? Could that go some way to explain the person that you are? I have, I don't think they ever put that CD on my entire life. So it was just there. It was there. Display piece. But I remember eventually when I figured out what was going on, like around me, I was like, why do you guys have this CD? Like, what is this? And my mom was like, I don't know if they were playing at the record store and I thought it was cool. So I just bought it. That you didn't follow through? No. What would motivate a parent to?

buy a limp biscuit album for their child my parents were cool about that stuff like i know other my neighborhood kid friends were not allowed to listen to it but for whatever reason my mom i remember still seeing um they were having like a promo for that cd at best buy which was my local working store and it was like 9.99 and my mom saw the ad and she was like do you want the cd and i was like please Please. And she just brought it home that night. So were parental advisory stickers a big deal? They were? Was that what you said? Yeah, were they a big deal? Yeah. And actually, it's funny because I tried to buy a parental advisory CD before that. I think I must have been in fifth grade. And it's funny to think about what it is now because it was No Way Out by P. Diddy. And then she made me get the clean version. I did get that. Can you, do you want to publicly disavow P. Diddy? Publicly disavow P. Diddy. Thank God. I'm really glad to have it on the record. But I was, when we were rolling through into London, I was like revisiting all of like the London classics that I like. Hard fight. Don't know that one. Libertine, The Streets, Block Party. Can you do your best impression of The Streets? I'm not going to do that. I can't. Dry your eyes, mate. No, no, no. You've been on the record as being a slang guy before. Yeah. A slanger, perhaps. Dude, Rob, you're so chuggy. How do you interface with British slang? It's awesome. We had a British guy playing bass for us in this band, this tour, and he was putting us on to a lot of stuff like Peak, Pain. Pain? Pain. That might have been Mike, actually. Skinner from the streets. Yeah, that's Skinner. Yeah, I just call him Mike. Yeah. What else were we saying? Jokes, of course. That's old. But for us, it's still pretty novel. Muff? Don't know. Is that like... Slay. Cyclones, yeah. Oh. Minge? Minge, dog. Minge. Dash? Yep. Minion? Minion? Minging. Minging? Yeah. Emily car parking lot.

Is this like some Nardwar stuff you're doing right now? You're a whole entity we have to know. Yeah. Emily Carr parking lot. A lot of cool shit happened there. That's where I went to college. Emily Carr has now moved to a different location, a campus. But back in my day, it was on. Who was that? It was Emily Carr. Yeah. Emily Carr was an artist, like a painter from Canada, I think. We didn't really study her. in my classes but she did well for herself uh emily car university is the art and art and design college in vancouver where i lived for about 10 years got my undergrad there and there was a parking garage across the street from the campus that bands would put shows on at and i you know basically jacked their swag for myself and kind of after their peak had passed there was it was mostly like noise rock um bands like new sensei and white lung um they were good these names ring a bell yeah definitely okay yeah um yeah there was like a whole scene of like it was called the emergency room right um and so we as everybody in diy is always looking for places to put on shows um we were kind of running out of options and we were like all right let's do a show in the old emergency room but we didn't want to use that name So we just called it the Emily Carr parking garage. Where did you see that? Don't worry about it, man. Do you know who Boys in Blush slash Susie Shearer is? Boys in Blush? No, it's not ringing a bell. Do you know who Fake Mink is? Fake Mink? That rings a bell. Who's that? He's a rapper from London. He's kind of popped off. This guy that Dave is going to tell you a story about kind of produced one of his biggest songs. Boys in Blush is in New York. based i think he's from vancouver actually guy who saw weed play at emily car's emily car park lot when he was 13 years old who who is this he makes music as boys and blush and suzy sheer he's popping off right he's popping you know like snow strippers yeah like adjacent to them pretty much and he saw weed in a parking garage as a child how do you know this we have our sources

All right, after the clip ends, I want to look into this. So you're responsible for the UK underground rap research, basically. That's amazing. I love that. Another notch on the bedpost there. Yeah, I guess. I mean, I want to hear the music first before I call it that, before I co-sign it, yeah. Who's better, New Sensei or Broken Water? Two different things. I would definitely... I probably never put on a New Sensei record for my day-to-day life, but they did mean more to me and still do mean more to me. Life, just overall. But Broken Water is one of my favorite bands of all time, for sure. Andrea from New Sensei is a role model, hero, and good friend of mine. Still in touch with her. What are some of her good qualities? She's honestly one of the most wise people I know. Very calm. I think, I consider myself pretty calm too, but she's like calm on another level. Calm is also British slang, isn't it? Yeah. There we go. Yeah, just smart. Always has pretty much the right opinion on everything. Calm and peak are words that you can't really say as an American in the English slang sense. It's really hard to pull off. I agree. Even jokes I have a hard time with. Jokes is difficult, yeah. Is there anyone that you'd point to as being kind of like a mentor figure when you were like a kid musically? Yeah. Phil Cook. He's my next door neighbor. He's in the Bon Iver world. But he was my next door neighbor and my piano teacher for my high school days, middle school. Gave him that first four track. Nice. He was an encouraging type individual. yeah definitely and it's like i'm retreading a lot of the territory i just did in the last podcast so i'm sorry but um i do yeah like when i look back i like how i was as a little kid i'm like i must have been so annoying to these guys because i was like 10 years younger than them but definitely kind of like hanging on to every single word they they said it can be it can be annoying when someone looks up to you that much but they were patient with me i feel like you have you have to go through that's kind of like

become a chill guy. Yeah, I was a teenager. It's probably fine, but like, yeah, I do cringe a little bit when I think about it. Was it like a goaded or like a particularly memorable moment when you were like a kid playing music live where you were like, damn, I'm the fucking shit? Yeah, my first concert ever played. Seventh grade talent show. Yeah, I mean, there's actually a video of it, but yeah, seventh grade talent show. I sang one song. The other guitar player sang two songs. The song I sang was called The Middle by Jimmy Eat World. And yeah, the entire seventh and eighth grade was losing their fucking minds, just screaming. And I was like, all right, first showdown. They're all going to be like that, right? Yeah. You're going to be a millionaire in three months. I'm going to be a millionaire in three months. Faint niggas. They do it all for the clout. Always running their mouth. But they've never been about. I splash niggas. In and out. In and out. Clout is killing our people. They do it for U.K.L. Yeah. Clout is killing our people. They do it for U.D.N. Yeah. Clout is killing our people. They move like the groupies, them. Sending shots or snap, but in real life don't use this gang. You know who likes special entertainment like that?
