Shit. Oh, here it is. Jeff Howell and Brian Dagzuck. Thank you for joining the Patreon. How are you guys? Let's get into the show. If you heard the grail, the grail is back up and gone, my other podcast. I had Josiah Citrenan who is an amazing chef that owns a restaurant called Molise. And he also has a bunch of other restaurants and he just opened a restaurant on Sunset called Sharkle Sunset, which is steaks and barbecue and stuff. Looking forward to going there and trying that out maybe tomorrow night. But the reason I bring it up is I had him on as a guest on the grail a couple of days ago. If you didn't know the grail was back up and going, please subscribe to it and check it out. We started talking about his new restaurant, which is on Sunset at the 9,000 building, which happens to be directly across the street from the Roxy. And also the rainbow, world famous, both of them. And I was talking about how I'm going to see Neil Young on September 20th, which is exactly the 50 year anniversary of the Roxy. Unbelievable. I've talked about the rainbow. I've talked about the whiskey and the comedy store. 50 years, all of them celebrating the whiskey more, actually, but all family owned still. Unbelievable. Trubidor still out there rocking also. These are some amazing, amazing clubs and it is just mind boggling to think that a rock club is still open and has been open for 50 years, any of them. Not just one, but a bunch of them on Sunset. They've survived the complete reface face, what is it, the facelift, the makeover or whatever you want to call it, of Sunset, where they've been just plowing down stuff. And I get it. It's a different era. It is a different era. Some people don't go to rock clubs, but somehow these amazing clubs have survived. And it's funny, the ones that close, it's a lot like people that die early in their career and they have that full folk lore of just mystique and glory, Jim Morrison, fuck. But that's a lot like CBGBs. You think about like CBGBs, man, but really what's insane to me, CBGBs of course has mad history. So does the Stone in San Francisco. So does the Roxy, the Whiskey, the Troubadour, all of them. But what's mind boggling to me is that these rooms survived and are still open and owned by families in the world of live nations and all of that. Lou Adler, still the owner of the Roxy. Built out of anger. I love it. I love it when somebody won't let you in a club. He was having some grief trying to get into the Troubadour. He was managing and producing. Carol King, one of my favorites of all time. They gave him some grief at the door. He said, fuck this, I'm gonna open my own club. Reached out to some of the killers like David Geffen, Bill Graham, and other great people. And they created the Roxy. Unbelievable. And the Magliar family, they just built this thing and opened it up 50 years ago, September 20th. Neil Young, three nights, which becomes the infamous tonight's the night kind of, you know, they released the live at the Roxy, but he was basically playing stuff that would later become tonight's the night. It was formerly a strip club and that's kind of funny because Neil is riffing in between the songs. A candy bar will be next on stage. And I never knew what that stuff meant on the bootleg all those years. I didn't know it used to be a strip club. And now it all makes sense. So I can't even believe I'm getting to see Neil Young 50 years later play on the anniversary of the Roxy's 50 year birthday. It's gonna be insane. I'll tell you what was even more insane. I signed up on the website to have a chance to buy the tickets, which I never fucking, it never works for me. And boom, a couple of days ago, I get an email, start buying now, try buying now. And it was that same old bullshit I always see on the ticket site where you're in the queue and you just see it creeping, you know, you're 10 away or whatever it's going across. And I go, man, by the time it gets to the end, it's gonna be fucking sold out. It holds 500. It only holds 500 Neil Young. Everybody wants to see it. And boom, it came up and I was able to get one. It was crazy money, crazy money. And, but I'll tell you, I can write it off. It's a benefit, I believe. And it was no way I was going to miss Neil Young at the Roxy. Neil Young being one of my all time fucking favorites. And that run of on the beach, tonight's the night, Zuma, all those dirge records, just masterpieces, crazy horse, back in action. So Lou is, he is just an absolute rock and roll legend. He's in the rock and roll hall of fame. And a lot of people probably don't even know who owns the Roxy. And a lot of people probably have never even been in the Roxy, but in Los Angeles, these clubs are the crown jewel of the music business. They've been pumping the new bands and supporting rock and roll and comedy and metal and blues and R&B and reggae. Their entire history, all those rooms. There was something magic about the Roxy that had me. The first time I played it, I didn't even get to play it. It was just so, it's such an insane story. My band, we booked a small tour up and down the coast of California. And the big, big last show was gonna be at the Roxy. We had a tour bus. This guy, Cab Daddy was helping us out. I was working for him at the Katari Cabaret after the stone closed. I was helping him book that. So he's got the tour bus. We're out touring around Southern California, Central California. And we pull up to the Roxy and we're ready to play. We load in, we sound check, we hang on the bus. There's all these people like, who are these, who's this band we never heard of with a fucking tour bus? But we were like, we're gonna come in town big and fucking rock this place while the bus and people fucking open their eyes, you know? And so we're getting ready to go on and it's pouring rain outside. And something happens, the Roxy has a giant neon R that blinks like, just does like, looks like kind of like a country western type of bar neon up on the roof there. Something happens and it fucking shorts out and starts like a little electrical fire, just a little like smoke and shit. And that's it, man. They clear the room out, they call the fire trucks and show didn't happen. Show didn't happen. We fucking got on that bus and just, I mean, we had some other shows, but it was just like, wow, we didn't get to play the Roxy. Unbelievable, man. I'll never forget that. What a fucking bummer. Anyway, Lou Adler, man, celebrating the 50th. Everybody has played there. It is unreal. Lou went to London after the first year of the Roxy being open, sees the Rocky Horror Picture Show, signs them for a one year performance deal, Rocky Horror Picture Show in the Roxy for a year every night live. Then that ends and he fires back up the rock and roll. And after that, everybody and their grandma played there, including one of the most incredible Bruce Springsteen bootlegs and shows ever live at the Roxy after the born to run tour. He plays the form. He boogies over and does a late night show in the Roxy, something like 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. or something. And it is just a masterpiece show. And I've owned that for years on CD and vinyl every way I could, because it's such a great show. Another amazing record that came out of there that I've loved for years was Bob Marley and the Whalers played there. And they put out a live record from there. And I've talked about that record and Santana live at the Fillmore. Those two live records are unbelievable. If you have not heard the Bob Marley live at the Roxy, do yourself a favor, man. It is just a masterpiece. The room is magic. The room is beautiful. It's got kind of a cool off to the left, raised up VIP area. And that's the best spot. You can get in there and kind of see over the heads. There's nothing better than being in the raised VIP area there. One of the great memories I have is me and my friend Jacob Dillon. Yep, name dropping. We went down to see Big Audio Dynamite. They've got like a crow's nest where the DJ would spin. And you could kind of sit in there and look down on the stage perfectly. We went to see Big Audio Dynamite. We were like, yeah, we'll just go for a couple songs. And then we'll cut out and go back up to the comedy store. They were blowing our minds so fucking much. We stayed the entire show and hung out all night, man. That's one of my favorite memories there. Also, I've done comedy in there a few times, which was wild, which, by the way, the night that Neil Young opened the place, Cheech and Chong was the opener. Lou Adler had a label. He signed Cheech and Chong, produced those records. And later, of course, the great Cheech and Chong filmed up in Smoky, part of the closing of the movie there, the Battle of the Bands, The Rock Fight. We're going to the Rock Fights! Filmed in The Roxy. Lots of great shit filmed in there. I saw Cheech and Chong in The Roxy, I think like 30 years after that or whatever. They hadn't been together for years. I don't even think they were talking. And then they get back together and they kick it off with like four nights at The Roxy. And to see Cheech and Chong on stage, doing all those classic bits, like first gear, oh, second gear, hey, man, what are you doing? Oh, just crazy. That Fifi, there's Fifi over there. Hey, you got something on your back. What is that? I think it's a payday. Cheech and Chong, man. One of the reasons I do comedy is because of Cheech and Chong, just a kid going over to my buddy's house, Eric and Rex Gibbs, and sneaking their step-dads, Cheech and Chong records and putting them on. Oh my God. Just never forget the early days of just hearing guys talk about drugs. You don't even know what they're talking about, barbiturates, you know? I got some barbiturates and cocaine and hashish, reefer, man. All of that fucking shit, man. Anyway, The Roxy, I cannot wait to go to this show. Of course, the infamous You Could Be Mine video was shot in there, G&R, Terminator video. Unreal, man, the history in that place. And when you're in there, they got some amazing photos. And one of my favorite photos in there is from one of my favorite bands ever, The Clash. The Clash played in there, Prince played in there, Linda Ronstadt, Slayer, it's fucking... That's the key to a crushing club. Just having a massive palette to be able to see stuff like Lou Adder would see, to be like, oh, let's get Prince in here. Yeah, I'm talking, you know, before he was famous just starting to kick off. And, you know, Prince did that club tour. It was like 99 cents. He played the stone back in the day. So, you know, crazy. I was looking at some of the history of the infamous Roxy. Of course, you might see Lou Adder, which by the way, he's 89, and he fucking dresses cool as shit. Talk about an inspiration. I always want to look good, you know? It's like, you know, people are like, you know, they think you get to a certain age, you just got to dress like a dad, just wear like blah, cotton dockers, and, you know, loafers and a button-up shirt or whatever. Ah, fuck that, man. You know, you want to dress fucking to feel good. And I was looking at this recent photo of Lou Adler. He did an interview for the LA Times about the 50th. And he just looked amazing. He's wearing like a badass flannel, some cool frames and a ski hat. I was like, oh man, that looks like old Dean. That's how I want to look when I'm like, I mean, I look like that now. I look old as fuck now. I feel old as fuck. I feel old, but then I feel great at the same time. It's fucking weird. Sometimes I'm like, oh man, I'm old. I've been around forever. I saw the bullet boys put up a video for the love of money. And they were like, a million years ago, we released for the love of money. And I watched it and I remembered, oh fuck, I was there. And then I see myself in the video. And I remembered, you know, I forgot that, you know, somebody told me about that like six years ago. I just forget shit. But I was like, oh yeah, that's right. I was in that video. And if you slow it down, you just see me. I'm like, ah, front row. I drove all the way down because I was friends with the bullet boys. We opened for them at the stone. And they're like, okay, we're shooting a video in a couple of days, come down. And I went some warehouse in LA. I can't even remember. And it started to make me think like, fuck, I've been around forever. That was like, I don't know, 1988 or something. So fucking long ago. And I just think about, fuck, I'm still alive. 57 then, but it does feel like a long time ago when I saw that fucking bullet boys video, you know? And I just thought, I'm still out here in the game. I've had some amazing times and some serious bullshit times. I could do a podcast for five years on the bullshit. But that would be so negative. It was like, I just try to ignore the negativity and just enjoy the good shit, you know? And as I was thinking about that Roxy and the fucking electrical fire and shit, I was like, yeah, we didn't play it. But you know what? A great fucking memory. A great memory later in your life. Maybe a little fucking chapter in the book, you know? Anyway, happy 50th to the Roxy. I'm glad that Lou and his family still own it. Golden Voice books it now. My buddy's over there, Bill Fould. I hit up Bill Fould right away at my buddy Fould. I said, hey dude, Neil Young. And he goes, yeah, I don't even want to fucking, I don't even want to touch that dude. You know, sorry, man. I was just immediately reached out to the highest I could. And I got lucky, man. I got fucking lucky on the draw. And I'm going to go see Neil Young at the Roxy. I'm going to have a steak across the street at Charcoal. I'm just going to eat a fucking kick ass steak. Go over and take in Neil Young in a 500 cedar. There's nothing better than seeing some of your favorites at these like surprise shows or these corporate gigs. You know, super, super rare. That's many times I've seen Metallica like that, which by the way, I did get offered a couple of tickets to see Metallica last night at the last minute, but they, not by the band, by somebody else. And they were just like kind of floor seats. Oh, fucking flying here. God damn it. Fuck it flies. Anyway, and I was just like, I can't do it. It wasn't like Diva Dean, but I was just thinking like, I just can't, I was talking about it on the podcast last week. I just can't get into that. A zillion people, $150 to park. And, you know, just insanity. But, you know, I could see, I mean, I'll see Metallica at Power Trip, which is going to be insanity, but that's part of it. You're just out in the desert, maybe a little mushroom seat tool and Metallica. Take the big fucking trip. Yeah. Anyway, great weekend of shows. I did some good shows and at the comedy store, it was cool, I got a text that Patrick hit me up, said, hey, Jack White's in town. Patrick Keeler, drummer, great friend. And he said, hey, we want to come down, see you do some comedy. You on tonight? I said, yeah, come on down. About 20 minutes later, I got a text from Jacob Dillon. Hey, I happen to be in town. Are you going on tonight? And immediately I'm like, wait a minute. I think I'm getting fucking punked here or something. This has got to be fucking, this is weird, you know? A couple of people I haven't heard from in a while. I saw Jacob in New York about, I don't know, seven, eight months ago. But, you know, to get that text from both of them, like 20 minutes apart, I was like, wow. I hope, I don't know if they're gonna prank me or something. I kept fucking thinking. I don't know why, cause it was just so weird. But anyway, Jack Keeler and Jacob came down. It was fucking great. We had a fucking killer time. And thank God I didn't fucking bomb, you know? Oh my God, that would have been just awful. And also, let's see. Oh, David Swanson came by. The photographer, great photographer. He came with Jack. And that's not it. Like, I'm not over here like name dropping or whatever. But it's just amazing when you think about when you're doing something, busting your ass, and then some people that you've absolutely respect to the highest level in the music business wanna come down and hang out and see you do comedy. That's just, that means the fucking world to me, you know? That means way more to me than anyone in the business recognize and like, hey, we gotta work together. Like the artificial business, man, when you actually have some great friends that you fully respect, that means so much more to me than anything else. So thanks for coming down guys. And what a magic night at the fucking store. I do wanna talk a little bit about, I was at the gym and I've been hearing a lot of Eddie Money lately. And I absolutely love Eddie Money. I'm really bummed that I didn't have Eddie Money on the podcast. He passed away. I never got to talk to him. I've talked to some great barrier musicians over my lifetime. Great Ken had him on. Great. There's these dudes like Eddie Money and Great Ken that came out of the Bay Area. Huey Lewis, of course, that fucking absolutely exploded. I still love to have him on the show. But that is funny to think about. There's not really a lot of these type of musicians around anymore where they're just kind of like an Eddie Money or a Great Ken or Huey Lewis. You don't see that type in the biz anymore. I don't even really know how you'd describe them. They're just kind of rock and roll singers, of course, but they had strings and strings of hits and they all came out of the Bay Area. It's just wild. So I'm listening to Eddie Money and I'm thinking back how great Eddie Money, the first like three, four records Eddie Money put out are unbelievable. This guy's like a former police officer. Becomes a singer. Bill Graham hooks up with him, gets him a record deal on Columbia, puts out his debut record. Two tickets to Paradise explodes. Oh my God, hold on. He had some fucking, this guy had some hits. First of all, oh yeah, Night Range is another one of those bands. It just hit me in my mind. Two tickets to Paradise. You really gotta hold on me. And then, oh baby, hold on. Just killers. Killer, killer first record, 77. Then he comes out with the next one, which I really love, Life for the Taken. That title track is unbelievable. And then give me some water. What a tune, man. What a tune. Give me some water. I worked for this promoter for, I think it was like 18 hour a day on the Life for the Taken, Eddie Money show in Petaluma. And it was, no, it was two nights. Katani Cabaret and Petaluma Civic, I believe. And this dick, I forget his name, Mark Something. I think his production company was Aquarius. Productions. Mark, I can't remember his last name. He had curly fucking hair and he hired me and my buddy. I think it was Wett and Camp, Eric Wett and Camp, to, you know, do the load in, get there at like eight in the morning, load in and then work all day and night, then do the load out. So you're basically working like 18 hours and we did it two days straight and then the guy never fucking paid us. And I'm 57 years old right now and I'm still angry about that. Just burned us, man. Back when you're, you know, just trying to make some money so you can keep playing rock and roll and eat, get some top ramen, six pack of Budweiser in the bottle and this guy fucking burned us. Cause I'll have your money on Monday and then whenever I'd see him as I became an adult later, he would just dodge me, you know like I'd see him at the Phoenix theater or something he just kind of, oh, fuck, oh. He knew, it's crazy to walk around. Instead of just giving the guys the couple hundred bucks he just walked around with that forever, man. Shady fucking rock promoters that you hear about in the business. I've been pretty lucky most of my life. I didn't deal with a lot of shady rock promoters. I think because I didn't get to that level where they could really start ripping you off, you know the big high level where they just, you know doing all kinds of weird shady shit that you hear about over the years. I'll let there be talk. But man, what a fucking dick. Anyway, any money, man. I would love to have just a career like any money where you had like six, seven hits. Remember he had that one, be my loving baby. He had that take me home tonight with Ronnie Spector. He had shaken. The guy fucking dominated MTV for a long time. I would love to have that kind of career. And then later towards the end of his career he had like a reality show with his family. The monies I think I never saw it but really bummed man that we lost any money and I couldn't get them on. But great, great, great music. He wrote those songs. I looked it up because I wanted to make sure. I never really, when you're young you're not even thinking about, hey, who wrote this? Because when you're young you see somebody playing and you're like, oh yeah, they got great songs. You're not once going like, did they write them? So that becomes later on in your life. You think about that as you're writing tunes and you're like, man, how'd they write all those great hits? And then you look up a band and you're like, oh, they didn't even fucking write them. These other people wrote them. Desmond Child, Holly Knight, people like that. But Eddie wrote those tunes, man. He wrote all those great fucking hits. They play them all day long on the radio everywhere. Sirius XM, Terrestrial Radio. Anywhere the FM dial is in the world, they play Eddie Money, man. And I just don't think that he gets enough fucking glory. He had that kind of explosion again with the TV commercial. What was it for? Airline tickets or something? Two tickets to Paradise? But I feel like this guy wrote hits, man. He wrote some great songs. I don't even think he's in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I'm almost 100%, he's not. And fuck, man, these type of guys that were the Rock and Roll workhorses where they just had five, six hits and toured every year or everywhere, just keeping the flag of Rock and Roll going. It's wild, man. And also, I wonder how old he was when he first kind of hit it because he always seemed like an older dude when I was young, playing music or like Eddie Money. It might've been just how he dressed. He wore like the fucking kind of the new wave tie with a suit vest and slacks. And later on in life, he had some drug problems. I'm pretty sure, I think something happened to him. I'm not sure, but allegedly what I had heard was that he had OD'd in a studio or something and paralyzed part of him later. He kind of had that side talk thing going like he had a little mini-stroke or something, but he fucking made it all the way through. He lived a long time. How old was he when he passed away? Let's look real quick. Eddie Money, God, fucking great, great shit. Passed away in 2019. Um, how old was he when he passed away? Fuck, man, what a bummer. He was 70. Goddamn, that's fucking young. You know, that shit is scary to me, man. It's like only 70. I'm 57 now. Jesus, man. What a bummer. Get out there and live, people. Get out there and ignore the bullshit and just fucking have a good time, man, because fuck, you don't know. Eddie Money gone at 70. Great music, man. If you haven't, do not take Eddie Money lightly. Don't think of him as just some kind of whatever. This guy, man, he's got the hits and he's got deep tracks, man. That life for the taking song is heavy. I dig it. Anyway, a little Eddie Money love today. A little Eddie Money love. Oh, man. What else we got for you guys right here? And I'm just peeling through my notes here. Oh fuck, yeah, this came up on my Instagram. Yeah, Rolls Royce put out a new $32 million car. Did you guys see this? $32 million car. That is fucking, I don't care how much money I make. If I made, say a billion dollars, I would not drive a $32 million car. It had an AP watch, timepiece mounted in the dash that popped out and kind of turned. Look, I can fucking enjoy the lunacy of that luxurious lifestyle and seeing something that incredible being made. But there's just no way I would buy a $32 million car. First of all, talk about Target. You know, you're seeing all these fucking robberies right now going down, which by the way, shout out the white reaper. God damn it, man. These guys are out on the Weezer tour. They stop at a Chick-fil-A in Vallejo, California and their sprinter is out there. And while they're eating, they see some guys pull up, break the windows and steal all their backpacks and luggage. It is fucking getting gnarly out there, man. I don't know how to solve it. Is it gonna just go to the Wild West era where you just, you know, people are just getting shot? You see, because they go up to people and they go, hey, man, you're stealing, you're breaking into these cars and they just fucking ignore and just keep rolling. And before you out there go, yeah, that's what you get. Fucking California with the fucking politics. Nah, fuck you. It's all over. It's all over America, man. I see Instagram, I see it. Smash and grabs are going everywhere. Car robberies and, man, crazy shit. You gotta fucking keep your eyes open out there. People are pumping gas. A car pulls up behind, just opens up their hatch and starts taking all their shit out of there. Fucking crazy, man. I feel awful for White Reaper. I love those guys. Great band that work hard. It just, you know, they just stop playing rock. It's already hard enough. It's just insane. Anyway, to have a $32 million car, can you imagine? People are just, they're gonna know. They're like, that's that $32 million car. Let's just follow him home and rob him, you know? The baller days are over. You know, like the hip hop baller era of like, you know, showing off everything you have. That shit is over, man. If you want to survive, I was thinking about that TV show, Cribs. Remember that? Where people would invite you over. They would invite the cameras over to show their fucking crib. No way would I do that. Invite someone over to see my one bedroom apartment. No way. Can you imagine? Just, hey, check this out. Basically, let me give you the layout of my place so you can come rob me while I'm out on tour. That is unbelievable back in the day. These musicians, they go, hey, check it out. Here's my car collection. And here's my watch collection. And here's my home studio with all my equipment. Now come on down and steal it. A $32 million car. Also, that's just the one reason I wouldn't buy a $32 million car. The next reason is people are texting, smoking weed. They're not paying attention. They just fucking smash India out of light or they open their door and door ding your shit. You have to be a level of, you know, your wealth has to be the fool. I don't give a fuck. Now I think these cars are gonna go to like Dubai, to these big, big, you know, these Saudi princes and all that, those type of people that love to buy the most insane watches and cars and everything. And I get it with them because they have absolute fuck you money. They might even get one of those. And then, you know, have it painted camouflage just to make it look crazy. But a $32 million car. I don't know, man. Hit me up on the Instagram and let me know, would you buy a $32 million car? First of all, $32 million. I think you could buy all of Detroit for $32 million. I'm like, I would be buying nothing but apartment buildings and homes to rent out so I wouldn't have to ever work again. That's the goal. A friend of mine is out in Maine right now and we were talking about, you know, we're at that level in our lives where I've turned into my mom, you know, if I win the lottery. And it's like, you know, I've said it before, if you win the lottery, you don't buy a $32 million car, you disappear. You don't ever have to work. You know, you win the lottery, the bullshit is over. And yeah, I've seen the documentary that people win the lottery and it ruins their life. They spend it all and they're fucking, you know, they're done. But that's just, that's stupidity. $32 million car. No fucking way. No way, but I can, like I said, I can recognize the incredible craftsmanship of it, man. Immediately when they had the AP watch on the dash, I was like, wow. I said that to some friends, I was like, look at this. You got an AP watch on the dash. Unbelievable. If I bought one, I would, I was thinking about what color, you know, maybe I would camo it. I love camo. I love camo. It's kind of ruined now, you know, in this political climate, camo is kind of ruined. But I love me some camo. Jacques-Marie Maas dropped a rare frame, the frames that were, they called a fatigue and they only made 25 of them. And fuck man, I wanted it so bad. Sold out instantly. But what a cool looking frame, just a camouflage frame. Ridiculous. I love giant, weird, different frames. I love it. Somebody was like commenting on my frames on Instagram. Quit trying to be so cool, man. Fuck you. Get the fuck off my feet, you fucking asshole. I love big frames. I love, I've always loved it, man. I love big frames. Elton John, I love his crazy frames. I love Swifty Lazar, he had the big fucking frames. He's a famous agent. I love Casino, giant frames, Robert De Niro. I love that old, oh, also Uncle June Sopranos. Run DMC with the Cazelles. All of that, I love the fucking big frames. Kind of love frames. I'm glad my site's bad, because I would never want to be one of those dicks that wore frames when you didn't need them. Remember that era where I was talking about it, like that's what's gonna get the hearing aid hot, is just have some hipsters wear some hearing aids. They don't even need them. They're just cruising around with grandpa hearing aids. I'm glad I was never that guy that wore the glasses with no lenses. Remember those people? You're like, what the fuck are you doing? But I'm glad my eyes are just shitty enough. Not super shitty, but shitty enough to need glasses. Shout out, sponsor. Got some sponsors today. Standard and strange clothing. I get all of my clothing at standardandstrange.com. Give them a ring. Follow them on Instagram for your denim, your boots, your leather needs, everything. And tell them I say it, Neil and Jeremy. Jeremy, they got this fish, yetimi. That's just an inside joke with myself. Anyway, standardandstrange.com. Berkeley, New York and New Mexico. Great, great fucking shops. Looking forward to going to the New York shop again when I'm out in New York. I'm doing the Madison Square Garden if you missed the announcement last week. I'll be opening for Bill Burr in November for the New York Comedy Festival, Madison Square Garden, unbelievable. Still cannot fucking believe that. I'm never going to be able to take that in. Speaking of standard and strange, my other sponsor, Banker Guitars. Looking for a boutique guitar? Do yourself a favor and go to bankercatars.com. Tell Matt I sent you, follow him on Instagram. This guy is hand-making some of the greatest guitars made in America right now. You can see people like Mastodon playing them, the rival Sengs, Marcus King, drive-by-truckers, on and on. And oh man, he recently just built an amazing acoustic that's not for sale, but it was great to see him dive into the acoustic world. Which by the way, congrats to John Mayer with his brand new Martin. It's unbelievable. He has a Martin that just came out. It was just announced. It is a signature series. It's a silver burst, which I've never seen on an acoustic. Kind of like the Adams Tool Guitar, the Les Paul, or the late great Chris Cornell. It has that kind of silver burst vibe. And the detail on this acoustic is unbelievable with the abalone inlay. And all of the great things I love about Martin, and I bet it sounds fantastic, Martin is just killing it out there. I absolutely love Martin guitars. I was talking to Scott from Rival Sons about it a couple of days ago. He's getting a Martin made, which is so cool. My favorite is that Joan Baez one. It came out in the 90s, the signature. I think there's 59 of them. And I always wanted one and I never got one. It's the small parlor guitar with the slot headstock and the trio live inlay. And I saw one on Reverb. I think it was 25 grand. I was like, fuck. Oh, I'll strum that Martin driving down Sunset in my $32 million Rolls Royce to go see Neil Young. Tonight's the night. That's what I'm going to do, man, when I win the lottery. I'm going to have enough fucking money to just tell everyone to fuck off. Anyway, I love you guys. And I hope to see you out at the shows. Join the Patreon.com slash D Del Ray. And thank you so much for your your follows and your support. Candles are lit always here. I think that's it. Hold on. Let me make sure sometimes I fucking forget something. I don't want to do that. One more quick look here. Yeah, that looks like it, guys. I love it. See you later.
