Hey, welcome back to a conversation with. My name is Philip DeFranco, and today we're having a conversation

with Watsky, aka George Watsky. But a quick note before we get started, I just wanted to take a second

But with that said, let's just jump into it.

So what's up, man?

A lot.

It's been a crazy, like, two weeks, three weeks since this whole fundraiser Guinness thing

we did.

I'm still feeling really good about it.

And it's kind of crazy to have this personal success, my world's success, like my band and crew,

then in relief against all the fucked up stuff that's happening in the world.

Well, actually, yeah, you know, I think personally, I think that could be like a good place to

to start. Sorry about that. I know we got the little delay. I think that'd be a good place to start. So part of the reason that I was like, oh, what you like popped up and everyone was like, Phil, you got to talk about this. And I didn't have a show that day. I was like, no, I found out about it too late. What is a, what did you just do with this, this awesome live stream? What did you? You were raising money. Can you kind of explain how what it was and how you started it? Yeah. So for those of your followers who don't know what I do, I'm a musician and I do poetry and I play with a live band and my whole economic model as an artist is based around a big tour

that I do every year.

I love playing.

I got a big squad I roll out with like 10 of us in a tour bus.
