SMELLY OF NOFX INTERVIEW!

[@andrewstevens93]

This is such an incredible interview. Smelly is such an inspiration to me. After reading the book a couple years ago, I sent him an email expressing how much his stories meant to me as a recovering addict, and he got back to me with very nice words of encouragement. He’s been one of my favourite drummers since I was in high school, and I have nothing but love and admiration for him. Thank you for posting this!

Mind blowing interview. Thank you very kindly for the experience.

Erik Sandin, what an amazing human being.

[@SloeeolS]

I come back to this episode ALL THE TIME. Its in my all time fav Dopey playlist. I friggin love Smelly so much, such a fucking great guy. NOFX is the best Punk band ever. I’m really gonna miss them :(

[@MyMakersMarker]

I'm at work loving this interview! I grew up on a steady diet of NOFX! I'm ordering Smellys book this week! Thank you Dave and thank you Smelly for this killer interview!!!

[@cedricmuller]

This is love message to you and to the interviewer and to Erik

[@lorraineanderson263]

He is an amazing human being. The part about adopting joey just made me cry, a total dad and a great example of a man so glad he is still with us. Love you smelly

[@jerryuma]

What an amazing interview! I loved it.

[@kaylee42900]

The thing I would say about Smelly saying NOFX is a mediocre band with a few great songs is that it's 100% true in a vacuum. But what makes NOFX special is how you all come together. Like the songs would be a bland piece of meat in another band's hands but the frenetic pace Smelly has, Hefe's voices and adeptness with multiple instruments, Melvin's ability to scream on key so well and Mike's song writing ability are the spices that make it truly special. Plus, especially early on, the balls to just throw whatever style you wanted on a punk album (Johnny Appleseed, Bugley Eyes, Flossing a Dead Horse, Eat the Meek) was so awesome.

[@MyMakersMarker]

Thank you for making Sober look cool! Bc it so is!

Full Bore is in Reference to Engines and Guns. Bore being the Diameter of a Firearm’s Barrel or the Diameter of the Cylinder on an engine.

[@NintenDub]

Smelly is amazing.one of my fav drummers ever. I just heard they're hanging it up next year but I don't really believe it

[@danc7251]

Me either I think the touring is slowing down

[@user-uu5of8rd1n]

Halfway through, this is a great Smelly interview. Gotta love the guy

[@DopeyPodcast]

It was pretty epic!

[@djdocius]

Thanks guys for this, made my day! Yay!

[@ASM881]

I always thought “full bore” referred to “boreing” out a motorcycle engine to increase the power and torque. “Full Bore” meant full power.

[@MyMakersMarker]

Me and my God, not the Jesus Christ God...thank you for saying that Smelly. That's what stopped me from recovering daily on my 5 year journey until I understood those Smelly words💚

[@pictures_on_silence]

thank you for this interview..smelly is my fav nofx member

[@JuriTalent]

Yes , i will miss them too. I am from germany and also addicted in hard stuff my hole life. There where some terrible times i do not make through again. I nearly could'nt believe in his 'sober' cause i am not so strong to left this behind me. I have to read the book about theire Lifestyle and lifetime and how they get trough. Smelly is a real honest person. When he talks about his problems and the way he throw the shit away. The hole band didn't live without drugs and theire are still alive!!! This impressed me so hard. Unluckely i've never see them live on stage. I think my addiction is the cause of this fail. I regrett it. But nothing in the past can be changed. When he talks about his second chance to change his life.... (hard stuff) i've been nearly tears... I hope there is a reunion sometimes. And i wish they play on my birthday Party if i been multi billionare....... Junkies not every time 'junkies' !!! In my turn there is a different in behavior to be an asshole or to be a straight gay. My dreams never die. Don't lay down stay vertical!!! The last sleep will come for everyone.... So long from the german JURI TALENT....

[@gobblegobble831]

Struggling heavily to get off kratom and found this episode in a really, really low time in my life. Thanks for doing this interview.

[@Former_Employee]

Kratom ? Isn't that a gym medicine?

[@briankalexander7958]

Smelly rules. I love nofx.

[@dneck]

[@wisconsinhorseradish]

Woaw. Best smelly interview ever ❤

[@TheDmanMA]

the Man is a mind blowing drummer...super talented

[@fadedportalmaster9745]

Amazing interview. This may be smellys best one.

[@Joe-kt7zp]

loved this

[@under_artist]

1:03:45 I wonder if this is the reason why they plan on ending it in 2023. If they had an intervention with Mike about a year ago because he's too crazy and Smelly's saying that he doesn't want to retire and that the band would deal with heavy consequences because of it then I see no other reason why NoFX would call it quits.

[@colina1330]

Mike says it's because he just doesn't want to play NOFX songs anymore after 40 years, which is fair. But, after hearing what Smelly has to say about him, I dunno. It's hard to believe someone as open as Fat Mike is lying about that, though.

[@bryanfrombuffalo7685]

I think there's more scamdemic coming

[@bryanfrombuffalo7685]

Him losing his parents ...his wife ...then the whore he married and divorced and all the filthy creepy shit he's into ...def takes a toll...he lives in denial and darkness

[@darrenedwarddolhanty6814]

Yeah, they’re not retiring because of Mikes Drug use. Mike was clean for almost a year and started drinking again but not a crazy amount. It’s Mikes decision to end it. He wants to do other things. Talks on sexuality and being open an honest about it, comedy, and doing other types of music like Codefendants.

[@barrychuckle5565]

​@@darrenedwarddolhanty6814absolute garbage then.

[@brendanlamb82]

Amazing! So good

[@deborahaguilarmartinez9047]

Best one yet 🙌🤜🤙🤙

[@satriakusumaoka1406]

I love NOFX 3000

[@roymartin500]

13:22 I agree with Smelly so much on this.

[@donnix1192]

Erik Sandin is an absolute incredible drummer, great player. Check out 1991’s Ribbed, great playing.

[@erikmolnar6585]

Oh Jesus, his son is big for a little kid! Jr Smellz

[@changopardomuzik4953]

Does Smelly only have that one shirt

[@monicab7646]

What is Fat Mike addicted to? Does anyone know?

[@johnnycigar3240]

booze is clearly what he uses the most of, but he's got a long list of stuff he enjoys partaking in in his songs

[@matchesmalone79]

Cocaine and vodka now, but he was on pain pills a few years back

[@childrenoftheabzu]

Did I see a flash of Bob dobbs?

[@nobodyimportant8859]

The offspring did a cover of i got a right

[@donnix1192]

I did Coke with Fat Mike, when I used to do that.

[@mrbloby15]

Pete Townshend Google search history was research 🤐

[@fatmike42]

I believe bore is to go through. So full bore to me in my mind, would be use a drill and go all the way through. Full steam ahead. Extreme.

[@nobodyimportant8859]

The term is full blown drug addict

[@mattreed2509]

I don’t hear any similarities!

[@BluMacron]

Lol we're picking God's now.
