Bob Crawford "The Avett Brothers" | You Made It Weird

You made it weird. You made it weird. You made it weird. Oh yeah. You made it
weird. You made it weird. Yes, you did. You made it weird. Oh yeah. You made it
weird. With Pete Holmes. Yes, you did. You made it weird. Oh yeah.
What's happening weirdos? This is Bob Crawford. Bob Crawford from the Avett
Brothers. I am such a huge, huge fan of the Avett Brothers. Huge fan of Bob as
a person, not only as a bassist and vocalist and fiddlest and occasional trumpetist
for the Avett Brothers, one of my favorite bands in the world. But he's also
one of my favorite people in the world. He's incredible. He's deep. He's
thoughtful. He's beautiful. And I had this chat with him. It was a while back.
But we sat on it for a minute and I'm happy to be finally releasing it with you
guys. And I spoke to him in his home over the Zoomables. And I'm so glad we got
in touch. You guys need to see them live. The Avett Brothers are currently on
tour, which is something that I'm just like, I'm not even close to done being
grateful for the fact that we can tour again. The Avett Brothers. We can go see
the Avett Brothers again. Go to theavettbrothers.com slash tour for tickets to
those.
If you go to any of them that are in California, take a look around. You'll
probably see me and Val there hooting and hollering along with you. Don't hoot
and holler during this, you know, after the songs. Not during the songs. Don't
be that guy. I'm also, this is the silliest intro. I'm also going to be on the,
I am on the road, I guess you can say, even though it's not, you know, I'm
recording this at home.
But go to PeteHolmes.com if you'd like to see me live doing standup. It's the
Where Were We Tour. I'm so thrilled to be back with live audience crowds in
cities other than Los Angeles. Thrilled, thrilled, thrilled. Thank you to
everybody that came to Toronto, Atlantic City, Boston.
Up next is Chicago, which is sold out, except we just added a late show on
Saturday at the Den Theater. So please come out to those. It's going to be so
fun to be in Chicago, the city that I pretty much, I know I did it a few times
in Boston, but I consider Chicago to be the city where I learned how to do
standup.
And it's always so fun to come back. So please come out to the Den. Go to PeteHolmes.com
for tickets. That's November 10, 11, and 12.
After that, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Atlanta, Charlotte, and
Washington, D.C. And hopefully we'll be adding some more dates very, very soon.
And if you like this show, why not try, you know this, why not try a Pete's
pick?
Ads for things that I actually use and actually love, like Living Libations.
Living Libations has done a complete overhaul of all of our hair, skin, teeth,
and baby products.
We are a Living Libations family.
It all started because I realized I was being very careful about what I was
putting in my body when it came to food,
but I really had never given it any thought about what I was putting on my body.
Sunblock, skincare, moisturizer, all of these things are often filled with a
lot of chemicals that you just don't want getting into your body.
And the things you put on your body do get into your body.
And that's where Living Libations comes into play.
This is a great way to support the show because they have little things and
they have big things.
Like we use their zinc-based sunscreen. It's called Love the Sun.
Leela is in preschool now, which means every morning we have to slather her
head to toe in sunscreen.
And just with the littlest amount of effort, looking on Amazon, all of the
stuff that they call natural or they call natural and like some sort of
alternative to chemical sunblocks,
they're still filled with chemicals.
I don't know what's going on here.
It's like a huge hoax.
If you want an actually natural, actually zinc-based sunblock that works
fantastic, feels great on your skin,
and you can put something on your kid that you don't feel terrible about, use
Living Libations.
Their Love the Sun sunscreen is incredible.
And also use it on yourself.
I mean, you're worth it.
I'm going to tell you, you're worth it.
I use their Ginger Exfoliating Scrub, which is not only natural and made with
ingredients that I can recognize and pronounce,
but it's also one of the most, not one of the most, it's the most badass exfoliant
I've ever used in my life.
Use it before you shave.
The razor just glides, it glides, baby, through the Zen Shave.
Zen Shave is Living Libations' shaving balm, which again is so clean.
The ingredients are so clean and so natural, you can actually use a dab of it
as your aftershave.
Try doing that with some anonymous neon blue goo that you buy at 7-Eleven.
Whatever you need, great way to support the show, face, body, eyes, teeth, even
baby products,
Living Libations has a premium, natural, and wonderful product to replace the
random chemical nightmare they sell at 7-Eleven.
Go to livinglibations.com and use promo code WEIRD, capital W-E-I-R-D, November,
capital N-O-V-E-M-B-E-R,
WEIRD, November, both first words capitalized, that's the code for this month.
You will get yourself 15% off and you'll be doing your face, your skin, your
teeth, whatever it is,
your body a favor, and showing your support of the show.
That's livinglibations.com, promo code WEIRD, November.
Get into it.
Secondly, do you love podcasts?
Yeah, you do.
You're listening to this one right now.
Or, even better, maybe you're thinking about starting a podcast.
Or, maybe you want to record an album.
Or, maybe do voiceover for that cartoon series that you've been wanting to
upload to YouTube.
Well, all of those things start with incredible microphones.
And, you know, they need to be amazing.
They need to give you that amazing in-studio quality.
But, if it's possible, we don't want to pay that huge studio cost.
Well, guess what?
Blue microphones have got you covered.
I'm speaking into a Blue microphone right now.
This is the Sona.
It's the Blue Sona XLR mic, which is very high-end.
It sounds incredible.
It's the best mic we've ever owned, ever used.
But, we actually started this podcast with Blue's most famous mic, which is the
Blue Yeti.
It's their USB mic that you can just plug right into your computer and start
podcasting, start animating, recording, whatever you need to do with voiceover,
with recording, music.
It sounds great, even if you're new to recording.
It requires absolutely no training or expertise.
It's truly plug-and-play.
It's also the only USB mic I've found that has different settings for solo,
sitting across from another person, and omni-directional for when you want to
record every sound in the room.
Literally never found another one with all of those different settings, and it's
also so easy to use.
So, so cool.
It's made by the same company that makes high-end studio mics that have been
used on so many major, huge hit records.
Same technologies behind these ones.
Blue have been around for more than 20 years, and today, Blue is part of Logitech
for creators.
And, as I mentioned, if you're watching the video, I'm touching it right now,
this is the Blue Sona XLR mic for podcasters.
We use this, and as you can tell, it's upped our game quite a bit.
So, what are you waiting for?
If you want to do it, and do it well, anything, with your voice, with music,
with sound, go to bluemike.com and use promo code WEIRD for a special deal on
any Blue microphone, and show your support of the show.
Last, but certainly not least, is one of the OG Pete's picks, which is Onnit,
Alpha Brain.
Alpha Brain has absolutely revolutionized how I am a creative person and how I
get my work done.
And if you do something that involves your noodle, your brain, your thoughts,
your memory, your focus, I promise, or I'll speak for me, Alpha Brain has made
my access to my own brain, my own thoughts, my own creativity, my focus, and my
concentration so much more natural, effortless, and easy.
It is not a stimulant, it's not caffeine, it doesn't get you jacked up.
In fact, I like to take it often before I go to bed, because it gives me very
vivid and interesting dreams, which I also love.
But if you take it during the day, it's not going to give you dreams.
You're just going to be able to focus and get into that flow state that much
easier.
I have Alpha Brain in my car, I have it in all of my travel bags, I often have
it in the pockets of all of my jackets.
I've had fans come up to me and ask me for Alpha Brain, and I've taken it out
of my jacket pocket.
That's how much I love it.
And if you're doing something that involves your brain, if you're a student, if
you're a creative type, or honestly, Val and I just had a wedding anniversary,
I took a couple of Alpha Brain before our date, just because I wanted to have
access to my thoughts, to my memories, to be focused, to be present, to be
locked in.
Alpha Brain is a huge, huge, huge game changer.
If you like it one-tenth as much as I do, you're going to shit your pants.
And I promise, well, for me, it's helped me get my work done.
If I don't take it, I absolutely, absolutely notice the difference.
It is a huge secret weapon, earth-grown ingredients, game changer.

Okay, this intro, this intro is over.
So glad I got to finally sit down with Bob Crawford from the Ava Brothers, get,
get into it.
You look great.
Look at you.
You're all true.
Like, I'm all sweaty, and you have an upright base behind you.
And who is that?
Is that Merlin?
Who is that?
Is that Merlin?
Do you know who that is?
Do you have an original Merlin behind you?
St. Jude.
That is St. Jude.
St. Jude.
I don't know much about St. Jude.
That is the actual photograph of St. Jude.
From before he was killed by arrows.
I don't know how to break this to you.
That is not a photograph.
That's not a photograph of St. Jude.
Maybe it's a derogatype.
What is a derogatype?
It is the earliest photographs.
There is one of John Quincy Adams.
It's the first president to be photographed was John Quincy Adams.
And it's, I think, actually, a derogatype is the method.
Maybe the name of the guy who did it.
Would they project the image through a lens and then paint it?
No.
No, this is a photograph.
I've heard of that.
It's really on photographic film.
I will send it to you.
Yes, it's out there.
I have it in a book on the shelf that you can't see because it's on that shelf
right there.
You want to show off those built-ins.
See, you got a nice little setup going.
I love it.
Well, thanks for taking the time, man.
Why St. Jude?
You know, it's funny.
I do feel like I have to be like,
so, Bob, how'd you get into Avett's and all that stuff?
But, like, I'm really excited to talk to you because we have so many shared
interests.
But I feel like we have to, like, hook them a little bit,
them, the listeners, the people joining us right now,
and be like, Bob's in the, he's in the Avett Brothers, everybody.
And that's why we're going to listen to the rest of our God talk
and our discussion on all of that theology and good stuff.
But I want to give a little bit.
But before, we'll jump ahead.
Why St. Jude?
Oh, because my daughter is a patient at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
She has had three brain tumors,
sent a brain tumor at 22 months old,
and two recurrences,
her last being September of 2020,
which it was, like, the most 2020 thing that happened in 2020 to us.
Yes.
Was our daughter having a seven-year remission of brain tumors,
which you don't get a seven-year remission.
You mean that's unusual to come back after seven years like that?
I think it's unusual.
Well, these are all rare and deadly, of course.
But once you get five years, that's
