All right.
Well,
Griffin, you
have a New Year's resolution.
Oh, yes.
Spend less time on my cell phone.
Spend less time on my phone
in front of my kids.
Yeah.
Okay.
A sneak
peek at 20, 24
from one of my all time
favorite guitarists and singers
who is currently performing in Japan.
Happens to be a dear friend of mine.
We are joined by John Mayer
at a cafe in Tokyo.
John this doesn't look sanitary.
John
John, it's you know what I believe
this is all health codes.
I think it's just fine.
Yes, we are at a cat bar.
It's called Cat's in the Box in Tokyo.
Celebrating New Years.
We're already halfway
through the first day of 20, 24
John, I'm here with John Shin
and just five
other proprietors of the bar.
Talk to me about this bar.
You work in the bar and there are cats?
Yes.
They're licking each other.
There are cats there.
I mean, yes, yes, this is.
And yes,
this is a place you can come,
enjoy a drink or two and talk to cats.
It's a cat bar.
I mean, I don't know how much more clear
I can be
about the objective of this place.
You, John, you are.
I can't see anything,
but I know exactly who you are.
Yes, yes, yes, yes. Okay.
Yes, you do.
He's gone.
He's off with the fairies here.
I've just.
The shot of the cat's ass in your face
is making him delirious.
Yes, he is.
Now. Now.
John, do you have catnip there
or cat food that you're giving the candy?
Any. Any.
I got
to be honest with you,
I thought these were solid treats.
This seems to be a paste
of some kind
that you feed the cats
directly from a tube.
Well, so now try out this
gelatinous cat paste.
I mean, John, I have to ask, because
do you know the name of that? Cat?
Is there a possibility
that we could play
one of my favorite games? Yes.
Called Name That Pussy.
Can we come up with the name
of one of the cats?
And then you tell us what the cat's name.
I don't.
And
you might as well try.
I know the.
I know the name of this cat.
We've.
We've hung out for a little while,
so I know that. Okay, good.
So let's try to guess.
Can you guess the name of this cat?
Okay,
so I think that that
cat's name is Calico.
What do you think the cat's name is?
This is a great game.
I don't know.
Well, guess, sweetie.
Trixie Okay. Trixie.
Okay.
John, what is the name of that cat?
Can you reveal to
this cat's name
is Lindland.
Wow. Wow.
John, you look really cute.
So you and you were close.
You coordinated your outfit.
Yeah,
I did this according to my outfit.
Yeah, John, hold on.
Prime Minister Moore pays to the cats.
I Oh, you're giving.
Oh, you're giving more treats
to the cats. John,
give us a preview of 20, 24,
because I need to point out,
John performed
at the Blue Note
last night on New Year's Eve.
Yes, I did.
And it is now 20, 24.
What can you tell us
about the year ahead?
It's 41 minutes from now for us.
Yes.
Well, if it's anything like my 20, 24,
you'll be surrounded by cats.
Leaving my buddy's house.
We will call that change.
You know, Joshua
Anderson loves talking about
how much he loves my Sirius
XM Channel, Radio,
A&E and my music channel
and his Kiki Lounge and what you.
And thanks for that.
And for those plugs.
I really appreciate it.
You talk about that all the time.
And I just want to save you back
talking about it now
to tell you
that there's a new channel
called Life with John Mayer.
It's channel team.
It is so good.
It's been in my house
for all the holidays.
What is
what can you tell the people
about your new channel on Sirius XM?
John
So I'm not a major plugging guy.
I don't always plug what I'm doing.
But I think you're going to love this.
It's Channel 14 on Sirius XM it's called
Life With John Mayer,
and it's a channel
that plays a bunch of music.
But the concept is,
is that it changes throughout the day.
So it plays different music
through different times.
Of day, different days of the week.
I figured everyone was kind of tired
of reporting to their phone
what it was they wanted to hear.
And then hearing this very sort of narrow
group of songs that you kind of hear
the same songs every day
based on what
you kind of come up with that
you want to hear,
this is sort of like
going to a restaurant or a cat bar.
Think about going to a cat bar
where all the cats are
already picked out for you.
And so you turn it on
and you leave it on.
And it's been really, really fun.
And it's one of those things
I think is great.
That's what I want in a cat bar.
I'm tired of going.
And these cat bars were
the cats haven't been picked out for me.
Yeah.
I don't have to try to find the cat.
Yes.
These cats
and there's so many cats to choose from.
Yes, these cats are. Yeah.
Yeah.
These cats are curated,
heavily curated, I believe, with 20 cats.
He has 20 cats now.
These are the most camera ready.
Best of the best.
These these cats have the camera ready.
These cats.
Are you. Yeah.
Yes. Yeah.
John. Yeah, they did.
I saw you this summer
with Dad in company
and it was the final tour of Dead
and Company.
Can you preview to
anything that may come?
Could we maybe.
Do you think we could see
this band come together in the next year?
Is there any hope
you could give us in that regard?
I know you're
you're going back on your solo tour all
around the world,
but any dead in company info you
could tell us
Well, I'm not
at liberty to say just yet,
but have hope is what else they have.
Okay.
Just like you should
for all things in 20, 24.
Yeah.
John,
before we let you pardon me one moment,
will you? Pardon Yeah.
Andy.
Andy, will you pardon me one moment?
Who's, like, could be the shooting buddy.
Who's Michael Douglas? Will people be?
Thank you.
Just wanted to just have a moment
before we let you go.
Is there anything else you'd like to say?
John, you've
you've brightened our night tonight.
I feel like this all speaks for itself.
I just want to say
I have a very,
very happy, peaceful, prosperous 20.
20 for both you, Andy
and Anderson and everyone watching.
May this be the best year yet.
And I send you all my love
from cats in the box.
I love you so much, John.
And tell that Ken
Healy in the wide
brimmed hat
next to you that I send my regards.
Love you, man.
Thank you. For sure.
Well, Andy senses you guys love you.
