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!

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 :(

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

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

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

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.

What an amazing interview! I loved it.

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!!!

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

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💚

Awesome one hour and a half

Amazing! So good

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

Best one yet 🙌🤜🤙🤙

Erik Sandin, what an amazing human being.

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....

Seeing them in 2 days let's goooooo

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

loved this

Smelly rules. I love nofx.

I just discovered this podcast. Really digging the vibe. You should see if you can get Brando Novak and Chris Herren.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Does Smelly only have that one shirt

1:19:25 THIS needs to happen 💯‼

The offspring did a cover of i got a right

Did I see a flash of Bob dobbs?

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

Pete Townshend Google search history was research 🤐

The term is full blown drug addict

What is Fat Mike addicted to? Does anyone know?

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

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.

Lol we're picking God's now.

I don’t hear any similarities!

Drugs, Addiction and Dumbshit... alright

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