There was once maybe, I don't know, maybe eight years ago, I had to go get my vocal cords checked out and I'd never done that.

And I was like, oh Jesus, it's gonna look like string cheese.

I had to go basically, it was something with my throat that needed to be looked at.

And I thought, okay, this is it.

They're gonna tell me that I've thrashed my vocal cords and I'll never be able to sing again.

And the guy sticks the camera down into my throat and he goes, just relax.

And he'd say, okay, now say E. And I'm going, E. And then he looks at my vocal cords and he goes, wow, they look great.

And I said, you're kidding.

He said, no, they look amazing.

Do you do vocal warmups?

I said, no, I don't.

And he goes, okay, do you do like vocal cool downs after a show?

I said, no.

And he said, well, what do you do before a gig?

I said, honestly.

An hour before the show, I'll open a beer and I'll start drinking the beer.
