Griffin: Thanks, man. Yeah, my patience all stems from seven years on night shift operating a newspaper plant through high school and college. The stress of nightly deadlines coupled with a work force that was partly comprise of ex-convicts has left me numb to most situations. You learn to handle getting shitted on when you’re 21 years old and managing people in their 30′s and 40′s.

Consecutive days of no sleep and heavy drinking, however, may have changed this somewhat later on in the tour.

Griffin: I considered showing up in Georgia decked out in Canadian gear but I didn’t know how well that joke would go over with the crews or the locals. There was talk among Tucker, Nils and Jeff to have me dress up as regional American stereotypes depending on where we were visiting. I offered to simplify things and dress up as the universally American Super Dave Osborne, but we never came across a Super Dave Osborne store.

Griffin: Funny because it’s true.
