Hey, Andy, it's Mara.

Mara Davis, your town booker.

And then you're busy, like, selling out Red Box and, like, giving back stage

pads with the girls.

But I have a little feedback for you on your podcast.

Go ahead and ask your kooky friends to write comments and Apple Podcasts and talk about how much they love you and they love your podcast. Because when people are looking for new podcasts, they read those comments.

I mean, if your fans want to leave douchey comments too,

I think that'd be kind of fun.

But if you're listening to this now,

please tell your fans comment on Apple Podcasts.

And Andy, maybe sometime return my emails.

Anyway, I can't wait to see you at tour. Atlanta, baby. You better let me

backstage. Andy, it's Tommy Goufano, head of A&R. So I got news for you, buddy. We want to sign you

to a 10-year record deal. We think you're a star. We think you're the next dilly Joe. Okay, here's the deal.

We want to sign you to a deal, but we don't think you'll sell any records right away. So we're

not going to give you too much money to support you. I really give you any opportunities on

Spotify or Apple or Pandora, anything like that. We're spending all of our dough

on our other acts, but I want you to know that we believe in you 100%. So what we're going to need from

you is we're going to need you to fund the album and maybe think about how to market it, but we're

behind you 100%.

So maybe you think of some fun little videos to make or do your super little dance parties.

But when you get famous enough to sell some records, we're going to squeeze some money out of you.
