Andy you are funny as hell. The Goose guys handled the tough questions with laughter and heart. Can’t imagine what it was like navigating that situation with Ben. I hope the best for all.

[@Signslookdifferent]

Great interview, Andy. Really appreciate your candid questions and how you bring it back around to positive vibes. Appreciate you.

[@GuitarrPlayer94]

Looking forward to seeing everyone at Northlands!! Love from Maryland!

[@Narwaldo]

Just saw you guys in Newport KY with a buddy of mine. It was a life changing experience that we'll never forget! The way you connected with the crowd was unlike anything I have ever seen. Can't wait to see you again!

[@h2orush]

Cool insights from Rick about riding the wave with Cotter.

[@freewhenever3437]

Just what we’ve been waiting for! Great show

[@my_commenting_account]

One of the best things for the scene. Frasco may smoke mids but this podcast is top tier always.

[@billionairio]

Heck yeah what time is it? Good interview time! Reeeaaally looking forward to NH-see ya in the Swanzey

[@kody1053]

Someone tell the boys Vegas needs a third show, pls & ty

[@someymix]

karina pulled MF DOOM shit with that backwoods barbie, Respect

[@KCroc1]

Can’t wait for CMAC and SPAC

[@my_commenting_account]

Frascos emo Cotter point is spot on except I'd say it's the snare heavy playing that gives it away. Definitely agree though

[@Samossandon]

See ya at fiddlers!!

[@gratefulhunter1063]

Andy is my friend

[@AndrewJDuddy]

Hey Single Rick. If you are interested in a throuple I may consider that. LMK.

[@davidbeckerman4431]

Why didn't Jeff come on lol

[@AndrewJDuddy]

Goose guys I love them... But they do want to keep a squeaky clean image. For all the investors 😉 But also think about the amount of money Phish is printing. There is no doubt goose is in line to take over that legacy and we are talking hundreds of millions at stake. Big fan of KR. Need to hire her to DJ her at my party... With pink daisy dukes as she noted. She already has a #1 fan but maybe I could be like her #236th biggest fan. It's nice when Rick loosens up and gets comfortable. He's super insightful.

Goose hopefully will carry the torch as the kings of the jam scene for years to come !! They are so incredibly talented they blew me away in a way musically that i thought not possible!! I only have 1 criticism, Please fade away from autotune you dont need it.

[@chrisdaubert6259]

"Please fade away from autotune you dont need it." and now they have to read 7 positive comments.

[@user-xw7cn3ii9o]

It’s not auto tune. It’s a vocoder

[@drewc721]

@@user-xw7cn3ii9oidc what it is, it ruins the live shows. The T-Pain of the jam scene

[@perspicaciousd]

Don't overlook Dogs in a Pile

[@paulschmura8841]

Only poor singers use either device Rick is a very good singer IMHO. It also killed hip hop they all use them therefore it all sounds the same

[@yonkonomi5706]

Really glad you brought up the question about criticism! Love Goose but my biggest critique is that their jams usually have this long build-up but half the time it doesn't seem to climax, just a long plateau with no resolution. Obviously they're amazing at their craft, but I hear this complaint more and more.

[@mikei5550]

Every jam has an amazing climax. I don’t get people these days.

[@chrisdaubert6259]

Not only that, each set builds throughout and the second set always hits a little higher. Maybe you have to be there to get it.

[@user-eo4md7vw7g]

Did they really just say that Ben leaving was compared to Jerry Dying?!!? Settle Down now take it back a few notches

[@sokbok]

love goose and find Frasco fun, but this was an opportunity missed. Goose is a tremendous band navigating major success and losing a founding member and I dont think they have really talked about it much publicly. LET THEM TALK, get candid, let the silence linger a moment. Peter's candor around his grandma seemed out of place compared to endlessly referring to debauchery and whatever. For me someone like David Lee Scales is a real interviewer, go listen to him

[@crawfordcockers]

So agree
