Nick is back to discuss the band's Olympic adventure in Korea, the problematic un-wokeness of Josh Donaldson, the allure of tanking, Juno festivities interfering with his fantasy drafts, and #TheRally!

Oh, well, Nick, it is Juno weekend here in Vancouver, which is what brings you and a number of other bands to the city. Like, what is this like for bands? Because we tend to assume, like, you know, there's Juno parties going on in the industry, like, every night this week. But it's, like, it's probably not, like, just a big party time for you.

There's probably, like, a good deal of stress and business going on right now, too, right? Yeah, I would say it's not super stressful, but there is a lot going on. Like, for instance, we're playing on the telecast on Sunday, and we have to go, like, after this. We have to move this up because we have to go to the arena now, and we'll have, like, about six hours of camera tests.

And then tomorrow there's this thing every year called Juno FanFest, which is basically, like, you go sit at a mall, and you just kind of, like, say hi to kids and kind of sign pictures or whatever they bring to you, which is a fun thing. I love doing it. The only issue is because the Juno's always following late March, it's during fantasy baseball draft season. Oh, no.

Yeah, so last year. Yeah, because I am hosting a fantasy draft at my bar tomorrow. Right, yeah. So literally last year, there were all these pictures from FanFest.

Our manager sent them to me. She's like, Nick, man, come on. Because I'm literally, like, looking down at my phone with, like, one arm around somebody, completely detached from the situation. I'm not adding very much fan experience to it.

So I've got to be careful about that. Well, I mean, maybe there's a fan out there who can, like, help you with the selection. Though I think in baseball, you might not need that much help. I accidentally called one of the fans Sonny Gray last year.

Yeah, he made the autograph. Nick, thank you so much for doing this. Oh, yeah, it's great. And, yeah, I just want to say that as someone who has, like, loved your guys' band for a very long time before I knew you at all, it's a real honor to be friends with you.

You're too sweet, Justin. I am too sweet. But you know what? It would not be an episode of a real good show if I was not overly sincere and flowery at the end of it.

Well, no, thanks so much for having me. This is always super fun.
