2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:04,760
Speaker 2: I do want to start with a couple of voicemails.

00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 3: First time caller, and I've been a listeners since the

5
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 3: day that I heard live on the radio opening the

6
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 3: first thing from the Palette. Since that moment, I have

7
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 3: went back and listened to every single episode that has

8
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 3: been available. I'm about a year and a half sober,

9
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 3: and I don't know where I would be without you all.

10
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:26,079
Speaker 4: You guys.

11
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 3: The chemistry just makes me feel like I'm part of

12
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 3: the family and I love you guys. I don't know

13
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:31,319
Speaker 3: where i'd be without y'all.

14
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 2: Thanks man, congrats on a year and a half. And yeah,

15
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 2: the Palette, that's almost the voltimore of this show almost where.

16
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:41,559
Speaker 2: We do speak about it occasionally, but we know we

17
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 2: trouble when we do. That's all. Yeah, But I just

18
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 2: don't want to get into it. I just want to

19
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 2: get it talk about it, but I'm not in the

20
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 2: mood to get into it now. But go ahead.

21
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 5: Can I just say I'm happy that the Palette was

22
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 5: able to help in his journey.

23
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 2: No, no, because the Palette has hurt our journey. It

24
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 2: made me start drinking it's the opposite of him. I've

25
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 2: never but because the palette, we have not got our

26
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 2: money back. I'm now I'll say it. I drink.

27
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 1: Oh no, you don't. It makes me so mad though.

28
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 2: Me too about what It pisses me off that we

29
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 2: don't have our money.

30
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 6: Yes, and I've had to let it go. Y'all need

31
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 6: to let it know.

32
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: We're not letting it go. We don't talk about it.

33
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 2: I'm moving. Hey, business people, you're not a business person.

34
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 7: Were Pokemon cars. They're still saying, we don't have any

35
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 7: money for that.

36
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 5: So you guys get that we bought and that bit

37
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 5: with stuff to hold and let it grow in value.

38
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 2: What do you think the stuff from the palace doing

39
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 2: that stuff's not growing in value. It's a piece of rope.

40
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,479
Speaker 7: No, it's sold one hundred dollars bill and then.

41
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 2: Pay us to give us our part of what we have.

42
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 2: It's like when you started not like a like a

43
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 2: next voicemail.

44
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 6: Hi guys, Okay, I just saw that you hit three

45
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 6: hundred thousand subscribers on YouTube.

46
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 3: Curious as to if accounts since it was after the

47
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 3: show ended, or if you're gonna let it go let

48
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 3: me know.

49
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 2: Not sure that question. I think there are some comments

50
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 2: that we should have on this. We did hit, but

51
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 2: it was what I gave it until the show ended,

52
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 2: and then I gave another hour and a half and

53
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 2: we did not hit until even after we went off

54
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 2: the podcast after that.

55
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: But I think it was only like five minutes after that.

56
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 2: It was quick, but I did give it an extra

57
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 2: hour and a half because I really wanted to do it.

58
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 2: So I saw that you had three anything if it counts,

59
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 2: So no nobody got paid out because nobody hit it

60
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 2: in that, But I'm still going to pay somebody one

61
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 2: thousand dollars or all three of you one thousand dollars. Yes,

62
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 2: if we hit five hundred thousand before September first, or

63
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 2: one person gets thirty five hundred if what if you

64
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 2: decide to play a game for it.

65
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: I like it, but we'll get there first once we

66
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: hit that number. Week decide that.

67
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 2: But a lunchbox has a problem because he's tried to

68
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 2: figure out a way to wiggle in to say he

69
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 2: deserves one hundred dollars.

70
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 5: But yes, I would like to on behalf of Eddie

71
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 5: Morgan and myself. I would like to come into Bobby

72
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 5: Bones's courtroom and say that we actually did hit it

73
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 5: by the end of the show, because if you are

74
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 5: living in Sacramento, California, the show was still on the

75
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 5: air when we hit three hundred thousand, So technically the

76
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 5: show was still on. The show was still going when

77
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 5: we hit three hundred thousand, and you said by the

78
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 5: end of the show, and so my belief is the

79
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 5: show was not over.

80
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 2: So by the end of the show, then that argument

81
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 2: could be used because it's always streaming on one of

82
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 2: the channels. The iHeart channels like that too, it's always

83
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 2: on demand. No, it was until the end of the show,

84
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 2: as we do the show. When we ended the show,

85
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 2: I still said, I will give you guys another hour

86
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 2: and a half and it still didn't hit. But I'm

87
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 2: giving you guys the opportunity to make a lot more

88
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 2: money with the neck. By the way, I don't make

89
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 2: any money off of this. This is money I'm just

90
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 2: giving out of my own pocket.

91
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 4: Eddie.

92
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: We need sound, let's see that.

93
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 2: Sorry, you mean we do this whole thing with no sound.

94
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what Morgan is saying.

95
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 6: No way, lill bit, this isn't helping's case.

96
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: There, it is.

97
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 2: Oh my wave been this whole time. None of that

98
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,119
Speaker 2: went on. Did we at least get up for the podcast? Yeah,

99
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 2: we're recording of area we got.

100
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: It's just just a stream.

101
00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 7: This wasn't our first day over here.

102
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: Oh my god, stop it.

103
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 8: You know it's not my fault. My computer updated.

104
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 6: Over the weekend, so it's not your fault.

105
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 8: But it did over the weekend and it restarts everything.

106
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 8: So like, I didn't see that.

107
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: That wasn't on.

108
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 2: So you didn't see, but it wasn't your fault.

109
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,359
Speaker 1: But technically we were on air in the West Coast.

110
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 2: No, that's not true. We're on the air.

111
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 8: Technically it's the computer's fault, not mine. Yes, I'm sorry, dude,

112
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 8: it didn't see it up, But you just.

113
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 2: Said it wasn't your fault, So why are you sorry?

114
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: Well, because this computer when it restarts it like does.

115
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 2: I just want to do a quick lesson for everybody listening,

116
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 2: just in general. If something's ever your fault, just say

117
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,919
Speaker 2: that's on me, my fault. I'll get better, sorry about that,

118
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,919
Speaker 2: and move on because that allows everybody to move on,

119
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 2: allows you to move on, allows the people that are

120
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 2: over you to move on, and everybody when you say

121
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 2: it's not my fault, and obviously was your fault. All

122
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 2: it does is extend the communication about whose fault it

123
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 2: was and where either the lack of communication from you

124
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 2: or the lack of or the inability of whatever program

125
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 2: we're using to run. So now that's extended a whole

126
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:14,679
Speaker 2: bunch more.

127
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 6: So and further infuriates your superior.

128
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 2: Well, it's just like it was it your fault? Was

129
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 2: it your fault?

130
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: I should I should have seen that on there, my

131
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 1: bad man.

132
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 2: Just in general in life. If that's it, Yeah, it

133
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 2: sucks for a second, but it's like a pill man,

134
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:32,919
Speaker 2: it tastes very good, but all right onward.

135
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: You know what's stupid about this whole thing?

136
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 2: Though, Okay, I would just move on.

137
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 6: This is also a space where we get to talk

138
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 6: things through and we move on.

139
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 2: But I think we do this and we have to

140
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 2: keep going on a podcast. But cut our stream and

141
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 2: start it over, because anybody watching the beginning of that's

142
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 2: going to see four minutes of silence and they're not

143
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 2: going to watch the stream.

144
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: I wouldn't or maybe they just got on right now,

145
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter.

146
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 2: It goes loaded up as a YouTube video, which you're

147
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 2: trying to get more videos for therefore, why would anybody

148
00:05:58,040 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 2: watch any of the content?

149
00:05:59,120 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 6: All right, take it down?

150
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, we did a video on YouTube and no,

151
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 5: I mean, Morgan thought this was gonna get so many

152
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 5: views and got nine hundred views.

153
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 2: Okay, but you can't fight those video hold on algorithms.

154
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,280
Speaker 2: You cannot predict. So I'm not gonna be on anybody

155
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 2: for putting anything up.

156
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 7: I was just being funny.

157
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 5: I was like, I looked at it, and I was like, man,

158
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 5: I thought we were gonna I was like, that.

159
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 2: Was you being funny? It was okay, So can we

160
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 2: start the stream over? But keep the podcast going.

161
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: A Morgan, I'm sure, I mean you can do anything.

162
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 2: Okay, just start the stream over.

163
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're still recording over here, raising.

164
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 2: And let me know where when it comes back.

165
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: And this is what I was gonna say.

166
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 2: What everybody just hushed. Everybody hush.

167
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 7: He's mad at me.

168
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: I'm not mad at you.

169
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 2: Everybody, No, everybody shush. Start the stream over. Let me

170
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 2: know when we're back on, and then we will start again.

171
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 2: But we won't start over. But from the start of

172
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 2: that content on video, if you don't hook people in

173
00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 2: the first few seconds, nobody's gonna watch any of it,

174
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 2: and you're running us with four minutes of silence. There's

175
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 2: no way that then would get over like fifty views. Now,

176
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 2: people may turn on the Facebook stream because that is live,

177
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 2: or watch it live on YouTube, but if we want

178
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 2: you able to watch it as it's loaded, they're not

179
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 2: going tom But these are the decisions you have to

180
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 2: make in order to get more followers.

181
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 5: I'm interested to see what Eddie was mad about.

182
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 2: I want to wait till the stream comes up. Are

183
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 2: we working on it now and Morgan's working on the

184
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,119
Speaker 2: back end. It's not I'm Morgan, not Mortgan's fault.

185
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: No one's blaming Morgan.

186
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 7: That's just getting you the key.

187
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 2: Thank you, and I'm looking. We'll get to it.

188

Speaker 1: Bekay.

00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,240

00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, just sort of what do you want to

237
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,559
Speaker 2: maybe we haven't played this song in a while, we

238
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 2: throw this in. Is there ever like a battle?

239
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,679
Speaker 1: No, it's usually like that, you know, somebody wants it's

240
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: I mean, anybody in the band can say, hey, you know,

241
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: I've been really dying to play this, and if we

242
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 1: you know, if it's if we've been playing it, we

243
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,559
Speaker 1: just stick in the set list. If we haven't been,

244
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: we'll work it at sound check and then put it

245
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 1: in the set list. Sometimes we need a few days

246
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: to work on something if we haven't played it for

247
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: a decade or something. You know, Oh, you'll bring old

248
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: songs back sometimes, yeah, because people like you know, we

249
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: have so many records at this point and so many songs,

250
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 1: and people like get to where they're dying to hear

251
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: someone or someone's girlfriend is pretty insistent about something. My

252
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,959
Speaker 1: girlfriend really wanted us to play this song, Butterfly and

253
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: Reverse for a long time, and it was a song

254
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 1: even when it was released we only played it once

255
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 1: or twice. One of my friends checked on the whatever

256
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: the archive, we only played it once or twice, and

257
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: we worked on it and put it in the set.

258
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: And now it's been like every night for a few years.

259
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: That everybody loved it so much that it's kind of

260
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: stuck in there. But yeah, you know, there's things you

261
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 1: haven't played in a long time.

262
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 2: Are there any songs that you feel you have to

263
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 2: play every night? Is there one song that stays in

264
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 2: the thread the whole time? A long December does nothing else?

265
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:28,679
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't feel like there's anything I have

266
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 2: to play every night, because sometimes you just get tired

267
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 2: of it. There anything there is, you get tired of it.

268
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 2: Except for some reason, for me, A long December, I

269
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 2: never get tired of it. There's never been a night

270
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 2: where I didn't want to play it. I don't know

271
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 2: why that is. I have no idea, but I was

272
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 2: kind of excited to play it like an arrangement change

273
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 2: up on that song, like playing it by yourself at

274
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 2: a piano or the full band. Does that ever change

275
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 2: even though the thread as you play that song every night.

276
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, we'll change little details of it. There's

277
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 1: little like breakdowns that go into it. For the last

278
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 1: couple year and a half, I started, I just was

279
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 1: we went to see Taylor Swift and it was really great,

280
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: and I really loved that song, the one, and so

281
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:09,079
Speaker 1: I started like backstage working on a version of it

282
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: by myself, and then I just walked down stage one

283
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 1: night and played it and let it right into A

284
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 1: Long December. So it the end of that song built

285
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: and became the intro to A Long December. And I've

286
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: been doing it that way for about a year now

287
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: and I'm really loving it. I don't know, It's such

288
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 1: a great song and it was a real cool surprise

289
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: to then crash it into a Long December and start

290
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: that song from there. So I've been doing it that way,

291
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: but I've done that with different songs. I remember doing

292
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: it with Live Forever, that Oasis song. We were touring Anyone

293
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: once and I went, you know, and figured out how

294
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: to play Love Forever and then just surprised everybody on

295
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: stage at one.

296
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 2: Night with cell phones too. It's got to be different

297
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 2: because if you're gonna go do Taylor the one that's

298
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 2: either gonna go super viral or it's not, it's gonna

299
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 2: be kind of weird.

300
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 1: Well, it was kind of cool because at some point

301
00:11:55,160 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: midway through the first verse, I always hear the scream

302
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: from a bunch of girls, like it happens because it's

303
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: not immediately recognizable as that song because I'm playing it

304
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: pretty differently. It's kind of inside out. But at some point,

305
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: like two thirds of the way through the third verse

306
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 1: or the first verse, there's just a scream from a

307
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: bunch of girls who realize what's going on, and then

308
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,319
Speaker 1: I don't know where they're hitting their mom going no,

309
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 1: you don't understand, mom.

310
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 2: How has content creation been for you with music, because

311
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:30,319
Speaker 2: that's different for anybody that was, you know, playing the

312
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 2: nineties and two thousands. I have friends now that are

313
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 2: struggling with man, I have to make content now to

314
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 2: go with my music. How has that been for you

315
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:38,199
Speaker 2: and you guys.

316
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: Well, it's kind of a I was really enthusiastic about

317
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: social media when it first started, I was on the

318
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:51,559
Speaker 1: message boards at AOL, you know, in ninety six when

319
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: I realized, oh, here's a way to talk directly to fans,

320
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: I don't have to go through the press or something.

321
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: And then when Twitter came out, I really jumped on that.

322
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:00,959
Speaker 1: But the problem is you're not always at the forefront

323
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 1: of something, Like you're patting yourself on the back for

324
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 1: being on the message boards, you know, ten years before

325
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: social media, and then you're patting yourself on the back

326
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: for building up Twitter, and you don't realize that Instagram

327
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: is the next thing, or you don't or you finally

328
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: get a hold of that. And you know, as you're older,

329
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: you're not in touch with the same stuff that kids are,

330
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: and so you don't realize that TikTok is really important.

331
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: You know that it's just inevitable that you fall behind

332
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 1: because you're not keyed into the same you know, zeitgeist

333
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: as kids are. But yeah, you just kind of adjust,

334
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: you try to. I mean, I think at this point

335
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,679
Speaker 1: in my life, I'm always a little behind, which is okay.

336
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: It's you know, it's kind of fun to catch up.

337
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 1: Sometimes some of my friends are like, man, I hate

338
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: singing into a phone like that. They really have struggle

339
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 1: with like singing in their songs into a phone to

340
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 1: put it on TikTok?

341
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 2: Was that? Ever, when you shot content, do you shoot

342
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 2: it wider because you can shoot a video ish style

343
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 2: or where it doesn't feel as ridiculous, because it does

344
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,199
Speaker 2: feel kind of weird to put your phone up and

345
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 2: sing right into it. How are you guys doing that?

346
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: Well? Early on, I mean, I don't mind singing into

347
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 1: my phone because I was doing it for voice memos.

348
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 1: It was like, Wow, I got a thing I can record,

349
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 1: I work on new songs. I can record and write them.

350
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: That seemed like the coolest thing in the world to me.

351
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 1: I didn't need a recording studio. I had my phone.

352
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: And then I started doing like it was a little

353
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: while to learn how to do all the stuff and

354
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: learn to edit. You know, I had to go learn

355
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: how to edit stuff, get the editing apps. And I

356
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 1: was making cooking videos because I was bored during the pandemic.

357
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: So I was making I was, you know, teaching kind

358
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: of cooking lessons on my Instagram. And then you know,

359
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: I watch a lot of it. I see people doing

360
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: these clips of songs and how you only have to

361
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: do a whole song. But clips of songs are really

362
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: cool and I kind of like watching them, So, you know,

363
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: I wised up to doing that, but it took me

364
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: till this record to wise up to doing that. It's

365
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: not hard to do them though, sometimes doing my phone.

366
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 1: Sometimes we have a videographer who works with us. He'll

367
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: come over and just film me doing stuff, or he

368
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: filmed when we were making the record, he was there

369
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: with cameras. So you know, lately we've been using clips

370
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: of all of us from in the studio that we filmed,

371
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: and then I had them come over and shoot a

372
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: bunch of clips of me just doing the vocals because

373
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 1: they were a little bit it wasn't as immediate the

374
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 1: clips from the side away from the mic in the studio,

375
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 1: so I wanted to cut a bunch of clips that

376
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: just my face doing stuff. I called them up and said,

377
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: I want to make videos out of these, but I

378
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: don't want to just use the studio footage. I want

379
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: to shoot stuff in front of a screen. And so

380
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 1: we did that and we've been putting those up for

381
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: Spaceman and now for Under the Aurora.

382
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 2: You mentioned voice notes. So what were you using before

383
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 2: voice notes? Was it just a pad of paper all

384
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 2: that that was a notebook all the time.

385
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: Well, I mean I always use these notebooks. But I

386
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: also had there was an app. It was it was

387
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: just called like recorder, but it was just an app

388
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 1: that had really good compression on it that you just

389
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 1: pushed record so I could use it on my computer.

390
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: Back then, it was a really great It was a

391
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: better app than any I've found since then. It just

392
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: sort of did it all for. You had a great compression,

393
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: a GRADEYQ on it. It was boneheaded. You just pushed

394
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 1: record and play and it did great recordings. I did

395
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: a whole record with that app. At one point just

396
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: called all my buddy Valentine's. It was like Valentine's the

397
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: week before Valentine's Day ten years ago or whenever it was,

398
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: and I just said, I'm gonna record a song. I'm

399
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: gonna learn to cover a day and record a song

400
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 1: a day for the next week leading up to Valentine's Day.

401
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: And I just did seven songs and ended up putting

402
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: it out and giving it away to all our fans.

403
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 2: Do you have any of your original handwritten lyrics to

404
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 2: any of the old any of the old songs.

405
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I've got all these lyric books. Yeah, that

406
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: just live somewhere in your house. Yeah, there's like piles

407
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 1: of them. I've always written in these books. So I

408
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: have these little ones that they are like spiral binders

409
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: that are about that big. They're like for school, you

410
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: know notebooks. I use them when I was in college, too.

411
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: I don't do it as much anymore. I find the

412
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: notes function in my phone is really great because I

413
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 1: just lay around. Also, we've all stopped writing, so writing's

414
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: not as like natural as it was. So you know,

415
00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 1: with my phone, I can walk around when I'm working

416
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: on a song, can just humming stuff to myself and

417
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: I just you know, type it into the notes. I

418
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: have a lot of lyrics in my notes, but I

419
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: still use the notebook for stuff too.

420
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 2: We were talking a little bit ago about how gen

421
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 2: Z doesn't know has never written a handwritten letter, and

422
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 2: my answer to that was, well, you know, our parents

423
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 2: never churned butter, and I'm sure their generation ahead of

424
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 2: them was like, I can't believe the kids now. I

425
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,439
Speaker 2: don't churn butter. So there are certain skills that you

426
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 2: don't have to have you know as time goes by.

427
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 2: I just feel though if I use a like GPS,

428
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 2: I know how to get nowhere because I GPS everywhere.

429
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 2: And if I write everything down onto my phone, like

430
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 2: I write a bunch of joke ideas and on my

431
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 2: phone constantly, but I don't remember stuff as well if

432
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 2: I'm putting it in digitally, does your mind remember the

433
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 2: same digitally as it as handwritten?

434
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 1: No? I mean I realized last night. I was I

435
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:49,880
Speaker 1: can't remember what I was out to dinner last night,

436
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 1: and my girlfriend was giving her phone number to somebody

437
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: like one of our friends. And uh, I suddenly realized, Oh,

438
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: that's not cool. You don't know her number. I mean

439
00:17:59,280 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: I knew.

440
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 2: I don't know why I.

441
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 1: Know, like seven or eight number, I wouldn't she was

442
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,679
Speaker 1: saying it. I was in my head going, oh, and

443
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,400
Speaker 1: then the last two numbers I had wrong, I'm like, Wow,

444
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 1: you don't know your girlfriend's phone number.

445
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 2: I would be in trouble if I were being held hostage.

446
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 2: I know nobody's phone number unless it was from Like

447
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 2: I know my friend Evan's dad's number from when I

448
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:21,439
Speaker 2: was like twelve, Like, I can remember that one, but

449
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 2: I don't know anybody's phone number.

450
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 1: Now, being held hostage comes with a lot of other

451
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: problems anyways, But first I need to call somebody. They're like,

452
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:29,640
Speaker 1: they're like, we demand ransom, and I'm like, I don't

453
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:31,360
Speaker 1: know how to get ahold of anybody. And that's kind

454
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 1: of the cops. Give you one call. I don't know

455
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: about hostages. Sometimes they do, but what if they just

456
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: don't like you.

457
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 2: Then they will not want to ransom and you're not hostage,

458
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 2: you're just dead. Yeah, then you're just dead.

459
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's there's a lot of problems of the hostage

460
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,400
Speaker 1: situation above and be on the phones. But I get

461
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: your point.

462
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 2: Did you watch Why Lotus last night?

463
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 1: But I did? I did?

464
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 2: You did?

465
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 1: No?

466
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,160
Speaker 2: Okay, No, I'm not done yet. Okay.

467
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 1: Then I was a little disappointed.

468
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,159
Speaker 2: But we're not giving any answers, not saying anything, but

469
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 2: a lot of people. So I watched the whole thing, right,

470
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 2: My wife had already watched all of it, and I

471
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 2: just wanted to watch the finale with her. So I

472
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,639
Speaker 2: did like seven episodes this past weekend just to totally

473
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:10,399
Speaker 2: catch up. And I was told by a lot of

474
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 2: people season three was pretty slow. I felt Season three

475
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,639
Speaker 2: the people in it, and again no spoilers, not to

476
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 2: be as gross as seasons one and two, just generally,

477
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 2: you know.

478
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 1: It's the weird thing. Season one had like six episodes

479
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: and season two had seven. Season three had eight, and

480
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 1: I thought six would have been great for all of them.

481
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 1: They'd just be he's a really, really, really good writer,

482
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: and somehow expanding it just kind of I don't want to.

483
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 1: It's such a good show. I had never watched it,

484
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: and then this year I never My girlfriend talked me

485
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,159
Speaker 1: into watching it, and we watched the first season like

486
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 1: binged it, second season binged it. Third season got through

487
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: two episodes and I was like what, and she said, oh, no,

488
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: that's that's where we're up to right now. Why are

489
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 1: we watching it? You know? I don't. I like to

490
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 1: binge everything, you know, and she so, then I've been

491
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 1: doing it every week. I'm not sure whether it's distorting

492
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 1: how it feels to me because I have to wait

493
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:03,640
Speaker 1: for it. It felt really padded.

494
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 2: I did all binge all three seasons, and I finally

495
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:10,880
Speaker 2: finished right before the finale. So my feeling was my yeah,

496
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 2: season three people didn't feels gross, felt pretty good about it.

497
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 2: That's cool. But there was I never felt the need

498
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 2: to get back to it, but I did enjoy it

499
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:21,160
Speaker 2: while it was on. It was one of those weird,

500
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 2: slow burned shows for me.

501
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: I love the other seasons. I just like, I kind

502
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 1: of felt like also, I felt like there's a lot

503
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: of padding this season. But I was also thinking, well,

504
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 1: I bet the ending it will be great, you know there,

505
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 1: because we're gonna get there finally. Yeah.

506
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 2: We don't worrybody, We're not gonna saying about it. We're

507
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 2: not gonna say it. No, no, no spoiling there. What

508
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 2: else do you guys watch?

509
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 4: Right?

510
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 1: Like? Did you watch Severance? Watch the first season and

511
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:45,880
Speaker 1: I thought that was incredible.

512
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 2: One of my favorite seasons ever of any show.

513
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 1: And we're gonna I think we're gonna watch the second

514
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: season after this. We just watched is it Black Doves?

515
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 1: That Kieran also that was great, freaking awesome.

516
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 2: I'd be a Black Dove. I'd be good at that.

517
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 1: Yeah you would, Yeah, I mean, as long as you're

518
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 1: not held hostage. Yeah, well, I just didn't know a

519
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,400
Speaker 1: phone number if I'm held hostage. How does writing songs

520
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: now compare to writing songs twenty years ago? You know,

521
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 1: we talked about the difference in digitally or writing it

522
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: with a hand, But like, do you feel the need

523
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: and do you schedule writing now or can you only

524
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 1: just go when you feel like it. I just write

525
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 1: when I feel I don't write a lot. As soon

526
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 1: as I started touring and really being in this band,

527
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 1: I stopped writing all the time. I wrote every day

528
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: for you know, ten years before that when I started

529
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 1: writing songs. But then I can't really write on tour

530
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 1: because I don't play guitar. I play piano and poorly

531
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:38,679
Speaker 1: at that, And then I so I wouldn't write for

532
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 1: like a year and a half because we'd be on tour.

533
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 1: So I tend to Ever since then, I've tended to

534
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,640
Speaker 1: just kind of not write for a year or two

535
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 1: and then write with ten songs whatever the record is,

536
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 1: and sometimes there's an extra song or two, but not many.

537
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 1: I want to write a lot of extras. So it

538
00:21:55,400 --> 00:22:00,439
Speaker 1: was different this time because I I wrote it. I

539
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 1: just think the I've been sort of changing some of

540
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 1: the ways I write and sort of my the music

541
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,159
Speaker 1: I was writing was a little more ambitious than my

542
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: ability to play it, and so I couldn't really tell

543
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,399
Speaker 1: how the songs were I finally I sat on them

544
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 1: for a couple of years because I hadn't have a

545
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 1: lot of confidence in them. And then I called the

546
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: guys up and said, I wrote, We'd love for me

547
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 1: to z from this the first song on the record,

548
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 1: and I knew I loved it, and I thought, I

549
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:27,199
Speaker 1: got to figure out what I'm doing with the rest

550
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: of the songs. And I called, you know Immer and

551
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:30,919
Speaker 1: a couple of other guys are bass player and drummer,

552
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: and said, just I need everybody to come to my

553
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 1: house for a week. I just need to play this

554
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 1: stuff with you. I need to hear how it is

555
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 1: with the band and then I'll know. And when as

556
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 1: soon as we started playing it, I was like, oh wow,

557
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: this is I love this stuff, but this is the

558
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 1: first time. A lot of it was in my head,

559
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: like I couldn't really play it, but I knew it,

560
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,400
Speaker 1: I knew how it was supposed to go. Had the chords,

561
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: I just my ability to play piano. I couldn't do

562
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 1: these songs. And so I was carrying around in my

563
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,440
Speaker 1: head until I heard them play it. I describe what

564
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 1: I wanted and it was great and I was really excited.

565
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 1: But that that hadn't really happened.

566
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 2: Before the with Love from A to Z whenever, because

567
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 2: I've listened whenever the first half came out, it was

568
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,360
Speaker 2: all one track. Loved that, thought it was super cool,

569
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 2: and then I guess then it split up into songs later.

570
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 2: I will shout out the name Bobby uh two references

571
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 2: on this record.

572
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:19,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know it was very inspired by you know,

573
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:20,880
Speaker 1: the last time we were hanging out.

574
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:22,640
Speaker 2: Thank you very much, well Bobby and the Right Kings

575
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 2: I think was already exist existent when we hung out

576
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 2: last time, but this one, but I knew we were

577
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 2: gonna hang out. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I knew it was

578
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:29,719
Speaker 2: gonna happen. Spaceman of Tulsa, I get a shout out

579
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:31,919
Speaker 2: as well, you're back, Yes, I'm back baby.

580
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 1: Yeah.

581
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 2: So when you do new records, how how many of

582
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:36,640
Speaker 2: these songs do you put in a set list tonight?

583
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 2: You have so many songs to kind of jump between.

584
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean the sweet I really only

585
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: liked playing the suite altogether. The guys that tried to

586
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:45,679
Speaker 1: get me to like just play single songs, but I

587
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 1: really like it all is one, So that's a chunk.

588
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 1: If you're going to play that. I mean, that's twenty

589
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 1: minutes of the show right there.

590
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 2: I don't know.

591
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 1: I guess it depends on the night We'll start doing

592
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 1: it and you stick them in.

593
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 2: I don't know.

594
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 1: It's weird, you know, like we're you want to play

595
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 1: your whole new record. But sometimes there was a time

596
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 1: we could do that when everyone was buying all the

597
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 1: records and everybody knew all the songs. So maybe if

598
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 1: Spaceman and Tulsa blows up to the roof or under

599
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:12,679
Speaker 1: the Aurora does, or one of them does, we can

600
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 1: just play the whole record for people.

601
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 2: What's the song that you hear out randomly the most

602
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 2: of ours?

603
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I suppose it's probably mister Jones. I hear long

604
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 1: December a lot. Especially. It's become kind of a Christmas standard,

605
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:29,119
Speaker 1: Like every like holiday season, it seems like everybody's covering

606
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: it and it shows up like on TikTok and on Instagram,

607
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 1: you know, people playing it. This year m J. Linderman

608
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 1: was doing a version right around Christmas and Gracy Abrams

609
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 1: sanging it. I saw that benefit for the fires.

610
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:44,160
Speaker 2: It was awesome. What do you think about that?

611
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 1: That was cool? Yeah, I mean I always think it's cool.

612
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think our songs are kind of

613
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 1: weird sometimes that you know, my phrasing's a little difficult.

614
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 1: I don't, I don't. I don't hear a lot of

615
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 1: people covering us except in bars sometimes, you know, where

616
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:58,679
Speaker 1: you don't necessarily want to hear it as much. But

617
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 1: have you been at a Barnhart someone covering it? Yeah?

618
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:03,879
Speaker 1: And sometimes it's really good that I heard a version

619
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: of around here a while ago that was like, wow,

620
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 1: that that was really good, actually suppressed.

621
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 2: Do you tell them it's you?

622
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:10,160
Speaker 4: Oh?

623
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 1: No, No, Well I used to have it used to

624
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,360
Speaker 1: be obvious it was me before I shaved off the dreads,

625
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: like it was, there was no question it was me.

626
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 3: Then.

627
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 1: I think I'm a little more anonymous now I think

628
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 1: I'm a lot more anonymous now.

629
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 2: Was that a big decision to cut off the dreads?

630
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 1: Not really. I felt it wasn't a big decision to me.

631
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 1: I just felt like I was excited. I mean, it

632
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: wasn't really that. I just kind of did it on

633
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 1: a whim, you know, like, uh, But I think it

634
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: was a big decision for a lot of other people somehow.

635
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: And I get asked about it a lot.

636
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 2: One of my neighbors lives a few houses down is

637
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 2: t Bow and Burnett. Oh really yeah, and he was

638
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 2: that he was over a few weeks ago. We were

639
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 2: talking about August and everything after and the Wallflowers. What

640
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 2: was working with him like as a producer, that's a

641
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 2: long time ago.

642
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,400
Speaker 1: I mean it was cool. He's really good. He's got

643
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of producers that just have

644
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,119
Speaker 1: like a sound like they've got a studio trick that

645
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,199
Speaker 1: they do and that's what they their records sound like.

646
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,679
Speaker 1: T Bone's not really quantifiable like that. He he helps

647
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:12,880
Speaker 1: you figure out who you are and who you want

648
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:14,880
Speaker 1: to be on a record. I think he's really It's

649
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 1: why he's worked with a lot of bands on their

650
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 1: first records. It made a lot of really good first

651
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 1: records with bands because I think he really helps you

652
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:24,239
Speaker 1: define yourself. He's got a thing that, you know, an

653
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 1: understanding of music that not everybody has. He's really really

654
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 1: good at that.

655
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 2: He brought the coolest friend over, which is Ringo Star.

656
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 2: They came over together. That's pretty that's a strong friend

657
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 2: or guest. Yeah, that's that's a strong friend who was

658
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:43,880
Speaker 2: responsible for putting you as background vocals of sixth Avenue Heartache.

659
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 1: Well, you know, uh, the Wallflowers had made their first

660
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 1: album on Virgin and it's a really good record, but

661
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 1: it didn't really make much of an impression. It's it's

662
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 1: it's not. It didn't really sum up who they were.

663
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,919
Speaker 1: And Jake and I were friends. I was bartending at

664
00:26:57,920 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 1: the Viper Room and he was there a lot, and

665
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,160
Speaker 1: we would talk about, you know, what we were doing.

666
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 1: And he asked me at one point, I think if

667
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 1: I had any advice about that, and I said, well,

668
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 1: you know, t Bone is really good. What I just

669
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,119
Speaker 1: told you is like helping you define yourself. And I

670
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 1: felt like that's kind of what that record needed. That

671
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,919
Speaker 1: he's a real unique guy and a unique songwriter and singer,

672
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 1: and that didn't get brought out as much on that

673
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,439
Speaker 1: first record, and so I suggested T Bone. And you

674
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 1: know a few months later, I was at home. I

675
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 1: lived in Laurel Canyon then, and I got a phone

676
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 1: call from either T Bone or Andy Slater, who is

677
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 1: Jake's manager, and they're like, we have we're working on

678
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 1: this song and it's just not singing yet. You know,

679
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 1: do you want to come down and singing? I was like,

680
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 1: which song is SI six ave new Hardeck. I said,

681
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:42,639
Speaker 1: I don't really know that one, because I knew a

682
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 1: lot of the Jake songs that he was working on.

683
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 1: And he said, well, will you just come down the hill?

684
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: And so I went down and had a beer and

685
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:51,880
Speaker 1: listened to it, and then had a beer and sang

686
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: it a couple of times and left. I mean it

687
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 1: just felt great. I mean it was like that. They

688
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,639
Speaker 1: just felt like we figured out eas exactly. That was

689
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 1: just what that song needed. It was a great song.

690
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 1: It just needed something to pick up the chorus, and

691
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 1: it just felt great right away. I think I only

692
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:09,640
Speaker 1: sang it once or twice, and then I went back

693
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,159
Speaker 1: home and it turned out great. How long until you

694
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 1: actually hear it? I think they sent me a copy,

695
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 1: like the next day I got it. But I heard

696
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 1: it right then and we went into the controller matter

697
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:22,199
Speaker 1: I sang it. It sounded great. I mean, that's like

698
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 1: he's got Mike Campbell from the Heartbreakers playing the guitars

699
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 1: on that song. It's a really good band. I think

700
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 1: Ben montangees on that one too, from the Heartbreakers. I

701
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 1: don't know about that, but yeah, it just felt great.

702
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 1: I knew it was great right away. It just felt

703
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 1: really like sometimes you just figure out the right thing

704
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 1: to sing and makes it makes it work.

705
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 2: SNL just did their fifty years You Guys performance on

706
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 2: SNL one of them. I'm not sure how any you did.

707
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 2: I just popped up on my TikTok the other day.

708
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 2: This guy named Huggy posts all the music performances on TikTok.

709
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 2: What do you remember from SNL.

710
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 1: It was a rough week. It had a really hard

711
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 1: time we had. We had said no for a long

712
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 1: time when they asked us because we were just sort

713
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 1: of like we wanted to play around here at Mister Jones.

714
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 1: We wanted to play round Here first. We didn't want

715
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 1: to edit the songs we had. Both Lettermen and SNL

716
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 1: were asking us to be on and we just were

717
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 1: really determined to do it the right way. It was

718
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: going to be our first appearance ever on television.

719
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 2: They wanted to edit it for time.

720
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, they wanted both have medited. They wanted Mister Jones first.

721
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 1: I really wanted to play round Here first. I didn't

722
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 1: want to edit the songs, and so we kind of

723
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 1: negotiated with both shows for the longest time until SNL agreed, Okay,

724
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 1: yeah you can. You can play them the way you

725
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 1: want to and you can play around here first. And

726
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 1: then we got there that week and they were like, oh,

727
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 1: by the way, we changed our mind and I was

728
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 1: like no, and they said, yeah, I know, we're going

729
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 1: to have to do it this way, and I said, no,

730
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 1: we're doing it this way. It's okay, we'll leave, but

731
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 1: we're not doing that. And it was just a difficult week,

732
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 1: fighting with them all week, and then it was great.

733
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 1: We played great. It made our career. I'll say that

734
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 1: it made our career because we weren't even in the

735
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 1: top two hundred, and that record jumped forty spots a

736
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 1: week for five weeks after we played Saturday Night Live

737
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: and until we were at number two for the next

738
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 1: two years. I mean it made our career.

739
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 2: What'd you play first?

740
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 1: Round Here? Yeah, I mean it was great. It was

741
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 1: It was perfect because like mister Jones is a great song,

742
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 1: it really is. But there's a lot of songs like

743
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: mister Jones that are just catchy, you know, kind of

744
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 1: rock tunes. But round Here is unique, you know, and

745
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 1: I think it just like this is who we are.

746
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 1: It's it's not what you've been hearing before, and it

747
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 1: completely made our career. We were not even in the

748
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 1: top two hundred before we played SNL and you know,

749
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 1: a month later we were at number ten and then

750
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 1: number two or something like that, and you know, but

751
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 1: it was a difficult week. I went there once. My

752
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 1: friend was Ian McKellen's agent, and when like all the

753
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 1: Lord of the Ring movies are coming out, he hosted

754
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 1: and there was this one producer who kept getting sent

755
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:58,719
Speaker 1: to do all the talking to us, you know, and

756
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 1: I was in the green room because they wanted me

757
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 1: to come. I had never been back since then, so

758
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 1: it is like eight years later, and I saw this

759
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 1: guy walk by in the hallway and then he came

760
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 1: back and he's like, whoa, I never thought i'd see

761
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 1: you again. That's going on. And I was like, uh, nothing,

762
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 1: just my friend represents Ian and he's like, oh cool, well,

763
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 1: you know, no hard feelings. I was like, no, that's fine, man,

764
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 1: all right, do you want to get high? I was like, no,

765
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 1: that's cool, I'm right, okay, cool, see you later.

766
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 4: It was weird.

767
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 1: I was like the he'd look on his face and

768
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 1: he's like, wow, I never thought i'd see you again.

769
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 2: That's funny. Yeah, the record. So it's the completion of

770
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty one right, So that's what it seems

771
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 2: like to me. So it's the rest of that. This

772
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 2: is all one album. So why was this a whole

773
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 2: body of work that you, you know, had been working on

774
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 2: and recording and now you're done with it. Or to

775
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 2: just keep going after twenty twenty one and keep building

776
00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 2: on that. No, I just wrote the sweet It was

777
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 2: really like a standalone thing. And then we were interrupted

778
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 2: by the pandemic anyways, and then when the pandemic was over,

779
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 2: I went back to my friends. He's got a farm

780
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 2: in the west of.

781
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 1: England, which is where I wrote the whole suite, and

782
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 1: I worked and I wrote a lot of this stuff,

783
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 1: and on the way home, I stopped in London and

784
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: sing on my friend's record. They've got this band, Gang

785
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 1: of Youths, Australian band. They live in London now. And

786
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 1: when I got home from that a little while later,

787
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 1: they sent me the record and it was so good.

788
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 1: It's called Angel in Real Time. And I just had

789
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 1: this thought like, Wow, these songs aren't as good as

790
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 1: their songs. I thought this stuff was really great, but

791
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 1: I'm seeing it in perspective compared to their stuff. You know,

792
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 1: I need it needs some work. And I actually went

793
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 1: back to the drawing board and I rewrote the chorus

794
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 1: for under the Aurora, like I rewrote a bunch of

795
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:49,239
Speaker 1: the stuff, and I thought it was really good at

796
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:50,720
Speaker 1: that point. But that's kind of why I didn't have

797
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 1: a lot of confidence in it, and I sort of

798
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 1: sat on it for two years before I wrote with

799
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 1: Love from A to Z and then called the guys,

800
00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,959
Speaker 1: like I told you, Uh, but it was a new

801
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 1: experience I've never had before. I've never kind of like

802
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 1: finished things and thought, oh wait, they're not that they're

803
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 1: not good enough. But that's kind of why it took

804
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 1: a little longer. But the originally I was just writing

805
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 1: the suite, but then I wanted to write this stuff

806
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 1: to go along with it.

807
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 2: You mentioned you had a Taylor Swifts tour. What did

808
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 2: you see there that was inspiring?

809
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 4: Wow?

810
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 1: It was just really well thought out, you know. I mean,

811
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 1: I write songs and sing, and there's a lot that

812
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 1: goes into a concert that has to do with like

813
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 1: set design. We don't do a ton of that. If

814
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 1: you want to do visuals and videos, and stuff. There's

815
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 1: a lot of thought that has to go into what's

816
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 1: the right visual to put behind your song? And I

817
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 1: know how complex that thought process can be. And we

818
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 1: don't do a lot of video. We're generally set moods

819
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 1: with lights. But the thought that had gone into the

820
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 1: visual presentations at that tour, like how it was really moving.

821
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 1: It was really really good. And this combination of the sets,

822
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:09,359
Speaker 1: the incredible video presentation, the movement on stage, the whole thing.

823
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 1: There's just a lot of complex creative thought that goes

824
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 1: into making a show like that. You know, it's it's

825
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:20,720
Speaker 1: practically like making an entire movie, you know, and also

826
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 1: it's three plus hours long. It's a lot you know that.

827
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 1: I was really impressed with the amount of creative people

828
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:31,360
Speaker 1: from different disciplines that had come together and made that

829
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 1: really impressive show that wasn't just like laserium, you know,

830
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:39,319
Speaker 1: like lasers like you know you see it. It was

831
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:43,239
Speaker 1: like moving. Each song was really thought out. All the

832
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 1: things that went into each song were really thought out,

833
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:48,360
Speaker 1: and they really worked. I was just very impressed by it.

834
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 1: It's not the kind of show we put on, but

835
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 1: I thought it was brilliant, you know.

836
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:55,439
Speaker 2: One of the old Man. Things that I say kids

837
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 2: miss out on now are the secret tracks. And there's

838
00:34:57,760 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 2: a couple of different secret tracks that I think of

839
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 2: with you guys, And one was the maybe it was

840
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,360
Speaker 2: Hard Candy you hold down the fast forward and you

841
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 2: guys did the Joni Mitchell song before Vanessa Carlton came on?

842
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 2: Was that Hard Candy? Get the end of Hard Candy?

843
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:10,839
Speaker 1: Or yeah?

844
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:11,359
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah.

845
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 1: We had to rush out the initial pressings of that record,

846
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:15,839
Speaker 1: so we didn't have Vanessa's parts on there yet.

847
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:17,319
Speaker 2: I think you had to like hold down the fast

848
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 2: forward but just barely to get to it or let it.

849
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 2: You fall asleep with it on and then all of

850
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 2: a sudden the song startles you. But even before that, when.

851
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 1: It was the what I Want Wow in the Desert Life.

852
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:33,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, and at the end of that that that that

853
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 2: art is no longer because now if there's a track

854
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:38,399
Speaker 2: that's seventeen minutes long, you just see that and you're like, well,

855
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:41,880
Speaker 2: why would you guys pick those songs to do hidden

856
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:43,279
Speaker 2: and who was the one that suggested to do it

857
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:43,919
Speaker 2: hidden track?

858
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 1: Well, sometimes it's just something I really like that doesn't

859
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 1: work in the flow of the record, like it just

860
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 1: didn't feel like part of the record. Like Kid Things

861
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 1: on a Desert Life just didn't feel like part of

862
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 1: the record. But I really loved it, and thematically it

863
00:35:58,120 --> 00:35:59,879
Speaker 1: was part of the record, but it was done really low,

864
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 1: and it just it didn't fit in the I tried

865
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 1: to fit in the flow, and I couldn't sequence it.

866
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I know nobody listens to records anymore, but

867
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:09,360
Speaker 1: I really like to make records and I want you

868
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 1: to be able to sit down and listen to it

869
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 1: all the way through, even if nobody's gonna do it.

870
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:14,959
Speaker 2: That's what I really like. I like making that work.

871
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 1: And sometimes I just couldn't get a song to fit,

872
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:20,759
Speaker 1: which meant I left a couple of songs I love

873
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 1: off records, and I hit a couple just because that

874
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:26,360
Speaker 1: seemed kind of fun. It was like a nice Easter

875
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 1: egg for fans. That was the thing with the with

876
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:33,759
Speaker 1: the Kid Things, it just didn't it fits thematically, but

877
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:39,280
Speaker 1: it didn't It didn't flow in the record. But uh,

878
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:42,359
Speaker 1: big yell A Taxi was different because we just spent

879
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:45,360
Speaker 1: this one weekend doing all these covers for B sides.

880
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 1: When we were while we were mixing the record, we

881
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 1: were like in another little room just cutting cover songs,

882
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:54,359
Speaker 1: and uh, that just turned it. We had this kind

883
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 1: of acoustic hip hop version of Big Yellow Taxi that

884
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 1: we play in concert, but we wanted to try doing

885
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:03,320
Speaker 1: a remix with it. We like went out to Pharrell

886
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 1: back then it was just starting in the Neptunes, then

887
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 1: went back to him, Jimmy jam and Terry Lewis from

888
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:13,799
Speaker 1: the time, but we weren't able to sort of get

889
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:15,319
Speaker 1: any of it done in time. And Ron Fair came

890
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:16,799
Speaker 1: and said, Hey, I know you've been doing this with

891
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:18,760
Speaker 1: all these other guys, but I actually did a version

892
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 1: and I think it works really well. And he sent

893
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 1: it to me and I was like, oh, that does work.

894
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:27,319
Speaker 1: That's really cool. Thanks, And then he wanted to have

895
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 1: someone sing on it. And right before we were mixing

896
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:34,239
Speaker 1: Hard Candy, he was in there mixing a record with

897
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:36,719
Speaker 1: this with Vanessa Carlton, her first record, you know. And

898
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:38,440
Speaker 1: I had heard a bunch of it because he was

899
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 1: in there, you know, and Jack jose Pleegu had played

900
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 1: me some of her songs, thought that they were really good,

901
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 1: and I knew that I had to leave for tour

902
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 1: before we were going to be able to finish it,

903
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:49,400
Speaker 1: and I thought it might be intimidating for someone to

904
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 1: come in and sing on one of our tracks, but

905
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 1: he could get a lot out of a woman he

906
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 1: had just worked with. Well, she would be comfortable enough

907
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:59,359
Speaker 1: with him to actually like improv on our track, and

908
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 1: she did. Yeah, it worked out great. It's funny because

909
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:03,279
Speaker 1: she was this total unknown singer and then by the

910
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:05,840
Speaker 1: time it came out, she was very popular.

911
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:09,319
Speaker 2: The complete Sweet comes up May ninth. Man, you guys

912
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:10,839
Speaker 2: are doing a lot of shows too. Do you do

913
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:12,359
Speaker 2: the touring where you just go away and don't come

914
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:13,320
Speaker 2: back for a couple of months.

915
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:16,239
Speaker 1: Yeah? Mostly, Yeah, we the weekend, this sort of a

916
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 1: Nashville thing, I know.

917
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's Friday, Saturday, maybe maybe Thursday, maybe Sunday. But

00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:24,800
Speaker 2: back home. Yeah, that sounds very convenient. Yeah it is. Yeah,

919
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 2: so you guys just go because you guys are going

920
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:27,759
Speaker 2: like Europe too, the whole thing.

921
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're doing the whole summer is gone. We're out

922
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 1: on the tour in America. You know, we passed through

923
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 1: home wherever your home is, you usually pass through it,

924
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:38,279
Speaker 1: and then we'll go to Europe in the fall.

925
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:40,879
Speaker 2: That's pretty cool. A lot of day it's from June

926
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 2: and we'll put them up in the notes here on

927
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 2: the podcast. But from June, yeah, all the way up

00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:49,880
Speaker 1: Yeah.

930
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 2: Do you do cold weather shows or most of your

931
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 2: show's amphitheaters?

932
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:56,919
Speaker 1: Well, not during the summer, but other times a year.

933
00:38:57,800 --> 00:38:59,280
Speaker 2: Do you ever play? You ever play a long December?

934
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:01,759
Speaker 2: And December in the crowd goes ah, like just because

935
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:03,440
Speaker 2: you yelled December, it's like yelling a city when you're

936
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 2: in it.

937
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:03,879
Speaker 1: Yeah.

938
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, like he said, our month, he said our month.

939
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:08,399
Speaker 1: This is crazy. I should write one for each month

940
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:11,919
Speaker 1: because then I would have hits any time of the year.

941
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:14,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, that would be good. Uh, we're gonna play some

942
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:15,280
Speaker 2: some music here in just a second.

943
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 1: Oh.

944
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 2: By the way, I should tell you not that it matters.

945
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 2: I looked it matters me. It doesn't matter. But this

946
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:22,360
Speaker 2: was the first book ever wrote, and it was bestseller

947
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:23,759
Speaker 2: for a little bit. It's pretty cool. I'm pretty proud

948
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:24,799
Speaker 2: of it. But I thank you guys in the back

949
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 2: of the book. Really I did, Can I have a copy?

950
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 2: Well you don't want? No, No, it's not sure you

951
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 2: can have a copy. But it wasn't for that. I

952
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:33,880
Speaker 2: just I it was laying here by my foot, and

953
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:36,880
Speaker 2: I was like, you know, because you guys are you

954
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:38,839
Speaker 2: guys are my favorite band of all time, And so

955
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:40,880
Speaker 2: I said, I wonder if I thanked them in the

956
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:44,360
Speaker 2: credits like the book, and I did. You're on the

957
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:45,840
Speaker 2: back page when I was like, hey, I want to

958
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:46,880
Speaker 2: think kind of cross.

959
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:48,400
Speaker 1: I mean, you came to that show in Nashville a

960
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 1: few years ago and they told me you were there,

961
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 1: but then you didn't come backstage.

962
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I don't want to be that guy like

963
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:55,319
Speaker 2: I just want to and honestly, and I think you'll

964
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 2: understand this, I didn't want to not like you because

965
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:03,439
Speaker 2: I love I love my relationship with your music, and

966
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 2: I didn't want to not like you. And so I

967
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:07,439
Speaker 2: was like, you know what, I'm good because the place

968
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:09,879
Speaker 2: I'm in now with Count of Crows, it couldn't be better.

969
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 1: I hear you, I hear you. If you come backstage

970
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 1: at some point, I promise not to be well.

971
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:16,440
Speaker 2: Now I like you, though now I'm feel good about it.

972
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 2: But that was really the reason. They were like, you

973
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 2: want to go meet at him and I was like, no,

974
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 2: I just enjoyed the show. I was like, I do

975
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,799
Speaker 2: not because right now I love Adam. He might be

976
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 2: well and not even that, but like I intured doing

977
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 2: stand up, and some days you just don't feel good.

978
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:30,839
Speaker 2: Some day that's true, and so I just didn't want

979
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:34,359
Speaker 2: it to be there. So next time I probably still won't.

980
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:35,920
Speaker 2: But right NOW'M gonna say, well, can I have.

981
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 1: A book or else?

982
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:38,359
Speaker 2: Ye? Now, I'll give you a book.

983
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:40,359
Speaker 1: I want a book. It's really cool.

984
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:42,840
Speaker 2: They were thanking in the back of the book.

985
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 6: I how did you like?

986
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 2: I said, I just thanked him for the music for

987
00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 2: like all the you know, I mean.

988
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 6: You read it, read it?

989
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 2: Okay, what if it's like Adam, I'm in love with you.

990
00:40:56,560 --> 00:41:00,719
Speaker 2: Also a big sad hug of the County Crows for

991
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 2: making lots of great music that makes me sad by

992
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 2: feeling happy, by feeling sad.

993
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:09,239
Speaker 1: Actually that's pretty great. Actually yeah, it's nice.

994
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:12,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I mean that's how I felt. So I

995
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 2: got a little choked out. That was actually pretty good.

996
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 6: Well, thank you well, and I'll clarify some importance behind that.

997
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:20,319
Speaker 6: Some of Bobby's upbringing, you can have a lot of

998
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 6: space to feel, so I think your music gave him

999
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 6: that space to feel sad.

1000
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 1: Hug all around. I'm not making funny you. That's actually

1001
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 1: really sweet. I'm kind of touched by that.

1002
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:32,920
Speaker 2: But any hug at all was happy for me.

1003
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 1: And now we're going too far.

1004
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:44,879
Speaker 2: That's right, Okay, okay, welcome back everybody. We have Miles here.

1005
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 2: Who I met Miles in Las Vegas. Miles, everybody, prepare yourself.

1006
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 2: He has a British accent. Miles. How's it going?

1007
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 9: I'm good?

1008
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:52,479
Speaker 1: How are you good?

1009
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:52,799
Speaker 3: So?

1010
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:56,400
Speaker 2: But he lives in Canada, but you grew up where.

1011
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 9: So it's complicated. I was born in Scotland.

1012
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 2: Oh, it's not British, my bad.

1013
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:03,760
Speaker 9: No, it is. Scotland's in the UK, so any country

1014
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:05,720
Speaker 9: in the UK's is considered British.

1015
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:07,319
Speaker 2: Oh by what about Scottish.

1016
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:11,440
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's like you can be English from England. Yes,

1017
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 9: England is also in the UK, so that's still British. Okay,

1018
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:17,680
Speaker 9: you can be sco Scottish from Scotland. Scotland is also

1019
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 9: in the UK.

1020
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:20,240
Speaker 2: It could be Welsh, so it'd be like an American accent,

1021
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:21,760
Speaker 2: but an American Southern accent.

1022
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:26,279
Speaker 9: Sure, okay, yeah, but my accent's all messed up because

1023
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:29,360
Speaker 9: I was born in Scotland, grew up in England. I

1024
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:31,200
Speaker 9: moved over to the Middle East. I was in Dubai

1025
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 9: for six years when I was eighteen.

1026
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:34,960
Speaker 2: So at eighteen years old, you moved to Dubai.

1027
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 9: Yeah for what? Radio?

1028
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 2: So you decided at eighteen that you wanted to pursue

1029
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:42,320
Speaker 2: a career and why Dubai? Was that the first job?

1030
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:43,880
Speaker 2: And how'd you find a job in Dubai?

1031
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 9: It was crazy? So I'm a radio nepo baby. My

1032
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 9: dad is in radio where in Scotland? So he's been

1033
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:55,400
Speaker 9: a morning show host for like forty years wow, and

1034
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:59,280
Speaker 9: now he's in management. So for years, like out of school,

1035
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 9: when I was internal and stuff, I was always Robin's kid.

1036
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 9: Oh you're Robinson, you know, and I kind of wanted

1037
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,160
Speaker 9: to move away and become my own man.

1038
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:09,360
Speaker 2: Gets no further than going to the Middle East. Yeah,

1039
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:10,920
Speaker 2: So how did you find a job there? And what?

1040
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:12,839
Speaker 2: I don't know. I think I'd be scared to go.

1041
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 9: So basically, when my dad was doing a morning show,

1042
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 9: I was telling this to Amy off the air. He

1043
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:20,920
Speaker 9: was doing a contest with a new airline and they

1044
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:25,279
Speaker 9: offered him some flights to like New York, I think Brussels,

1045
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:28,680
Speaker 9: like Belgium and Dubai and it was right before nine

1046
00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:31,240
Speaker 9: to eleven, so him and my mum originally picked New York.

1047
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:33,000
Speaker 9: Then nine to eleven happened. He was like, well, we're

1048
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 9: not going to go there anymore. Let's try Dubai. So

1049
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:37,319
Speaker 9: they went to Dubai, went for a week, had an

1050
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 9: amazing time. When they came back, the sales rep was like,

1051
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:44,000
Speaker 9: how was it. Did you enjoy the campaign, the flights

1052
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 9: and everything, and they were like, yeah, it was great.

1053
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 9: But they were like dredging for oil off the coast

1054
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 9: of the hotel in the beach, and they were like,

1055
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:51,319
Speaker 9: that's not dredging for oil. They're building a man made

1056
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:54,640
Speaker 9: island called the Palm. It's like a palm tree with

1057
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 9: like it's insane. It looks like something up like the

1058
00:43:57,560 --> 00:44:00,799
Speaker 9: Sims or something. It's crazy. My mom and dad bought

1059
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 9: a place in Dubai off plan when they were building

1060
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:07,800
Speaker 9: that man made island. So then every single school vacation

1061
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:12,840
Speaker 9: we would go there every single time, like Easter, Summer, Christmas.

1062
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 2: Even how far away is that from where you were?

1063
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:15,240
Speaker 9: Seven hours?

1064
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:17,799
Speaker 2: Oh not even that bad. That's closer than if we

1065
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:18,440
Speaker 2: went to Hawaii.

1066
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 9: Yeah, seven hours, four hour time difference. And basically when

1067
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:25,279
Speaker 9: this one time, this easter vacation we were there. I

1068
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 9: think it was twenty eleven, maybe even early twenty ten,

1069
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 9: there was this volcano in Iceland that erupted. This is

1070
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:33,719
Speaker 9: the most far fair story ever, by the way, but

1071
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 9: there was a volcanic ash cloud that shut down the

1072
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:39,400
Speaker 9: entire European airspace. So my dad was stuck there for

1073
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 9: over two weeks. He was off his morning show and

1074
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:42,839
Speaker 9: everyone was talking about it. It was like a really big,

1075
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 9: big story. So he wanted to find a studio in

1076
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:47,800
Speaker 9: Dubai to get on the air and broadcast to Scotland

1077
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:50,440
Speaker 9: and do his morning show. So I went in with him,

1078
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 9: kind of, you know, just shadowing him, I guess, and

1079
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 9: they were like, what do you do? And I was

1080
00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:58,279
Speaker 9: like seventeen at the time. I was like, I'm still

1081
00:44:58,280 --> 00:44:59,800
Speaker 9: in school, but I really want to get into radio.

1082
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:01,920
Speaker 9: And they said, would you consider coming out and doing

1083
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:04,839
Speaker 9: like a summer internship? And I was like absolutely.

1084
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:06,680
Speaker 2: And at this point you already felt comfortable in Dubai

1085
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:08,120
Speaker 2: because you had been so many times exactly.

1086
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 9: Yeah, So I did kind of know my way around,

1087
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:14,960
Speaker 9: and I knew to be respectful and you know how

1088
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:17,880
Speaker 9: the lulls work and stuff. Because it is kind of

1089
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:20,279
Speaker 9: it's very conservative, like compared to what it used to

1090
00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:23,480
Speaker 9: be for the Middle East, but it's definitely different. You know,

1091
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 9: you can't talk about alcohol, you can't talk about gambling

1092
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:26,760
Speaker 9: and all those kind of things.

1093
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 2: As in on the air or in general both kind of.

1094
00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:32,920
Speaker 9: Well yeah, mostly on the air, I mean.

1095
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:35,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay. So you're like, okay, cool. And so when

1096
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 2: you turn eighteen, they offer you a job.

1097
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:41,160
Speaker 9: Yeah, morning show producer like on air slash morning show producer.

1098
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:44,440
Speaker 2: And what did your dad say about you moving to

1099
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:47,080
Speaker 2: Dubai after having been there a bunch times. It's different

1100
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:49,239
Speaker 2: being on vacation or holiday as you guys call it.

1101
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 2: What do you say about moving there?

1102
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:52,640
Speaker 9: He thought it was cool because they still had their

1103
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:56,040
Speaker 9: place there, so they lived. Yeah, until they kicked me

1104
00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:58,040
Speaker 9: out and they were like, okay, we want it back

1105
00:45:58,080 --> 00:45:59,719
Speaker 9: now this is our holiday spot, you know.

1106
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:01,160
Speaker 2: So how long were you in Dubai.

1107
00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:02,920
Speaker 9: I was there for like five six years?

1108
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:06,319
Speaker 2: And what was your ascent? Like in radio? There were

1109
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:08,560
Speaker 2: you producer the whole time? And then you left Dubai

1110
00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 2: to go get a different job or did you move

1111
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 2: into a different role to the station.

1112
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 9: I moved into a different role I actually moved from

1113
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:15,120
Speaker 9: one station to another to like the biggest station out there,

1114
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:17,880
Speaker 9: which is Virgin Radio. So I was there. There's a

1115
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:19,359
Speaker 9: guy that does the morning show host. He's a good

1116
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 9: friend of mine. He's called Chris Fade. He's like a

1117
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:25,200
Speaker 9: really big Australian radio personality in Dubai. He's like the

1118
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:28,360
Speaker 9: Ryan Seacrest of the Middle East, but he's Australian. Yeah,

1119
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:31,520
Speaker 9: and they accept that he's Australian Lebanese, which really works

1120
00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:33,319
Speaker 9: because he's got like the kind of western side of

1121
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:35,239
Speaker 9: it of his heritage, and then he's also got like

1122
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:38,239
Speaker 9: the Middle Eastern side, so he really just talks to

1123
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 9: a lot of a lot of the demographic there.

1124
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:41,040
Speaker 2: So you worked for him.

1125
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:43,960
Speaker 9: I worked with him. He was the assistant program director

1126
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:46,640
Speaker 9: at the time, and then I was doing the night show.

1127
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:48,600
Speaker 2: Okay, so you had your own show then, yeah, and

1128
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:50,360
Speaker 2: so you're there and then when do you leave? And

1129
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:50,920
Speaker 2: why do you leave?

1130
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:54,479
Speaker 9: I got fired for doing what I just really didn't

1131
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:58,800
Speaker 9: get on with the program director. Personality company, yeah, personality conflict.

1132
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:01,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then you're like, what now, what.

1133
00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 1: Do I do?

1134
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:04,440
Speaker 9: I moved back to the UK. I didn't want to go.

1135
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:06,920
Speaker 9: I didn't want to stay there. I went through a

1136
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:09,839
Speaker 9: breakup as well. I kind of had a little bit

1137
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:10,640
Speaker 9: to do with it.

1138
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:13,520
Speaker 2: So I want to just sidetracked for a second. Dude

1140
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:17,960
Speaker 2: I see about it on the news, it doesn't feel

1141
00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:19,200
Speaker 2: like it'd be super safe.

1142
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:20,440
Speaker 9: Is it so safe?

1143
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:22,239
Speaker 2: More safe than even here?

1144
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:24,040
Speaker 9: Define safe? Are you talking about?

1145
00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 2: Like, I don't know. I don't want to get scooped

1146
00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:29,839
Speaker 2: up and then thrown into a Dubai penitentiary and chop

1147
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:32,920
Speaker 2: my head off because because I showed my knee in

00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:36,080
Speaker 9: Have you ever been arrested here? No, So you'll never

1150
00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:38,200
Speaker 9: get arrested there. Just don't do anything you wouldn't do

1151
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:40,040
Speaker 9: in your normal daily life.

1152
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:41,719

00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:47,759
Speaker 6: I mean, you can't do that here.

1157
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:49,440
Speaker 7: But I've never been arrested for it.

1158
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 9: But like, don't get caught basically, so just don't be

1159
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:53,840
Speaker 9: so are there bars?

1160
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:55,040
Speaker 1: Yeah? Loads?

1161
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:58,239
Speaker 9: Yeah, It's like that was my like university, that was

1162
00:47:58,239 --> 00:48:00,279
Speaker 9: my college being in Dubai because I was a team,

1163
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 9: right so that was like my going out partying and

1164
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:05,480
Speaker 9: having fun. I was also DJing after the show as

1165
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:08,200
Speaker 9: well in clubs and stuff, and I had the best time.

1166
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:10,480
Speaker 9: It was crazy. I used to have friends that come

1167
00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:12,040
Speaker 9: over and they'd be like, you live like this, this

1168
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:13,520
Speaker 9: is crazy. I'd be like, no, I'm only doing this

1169
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:14,200
Speaker 9: because you're here.

1170
00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:16,080
Speaker 2: So do you feel like the representation of it because

1171
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:17,800
Speaker 2: it's in the Middle East is a bit unfair?

1172
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:19,759
Speaker 9: One hundred percent? I think when I say yeah, Like

1173
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:22,799
Speaker 9: I started off by saying I moved to the Middle East,

1174
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:24,400
Speaker 9: what I should have said was I moved to Dubai

1175
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:26,200
Speaker 9: because I think when people hear the Middle East, especially

1176
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:27,799
Speaker 9: in North America, they're like, whoa.

1177
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:29,680
Speaker 2: Yeah I do. Even when you go Dubai, I'm like,

1178
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:32,319
Speaker 2: whoa Middle East. But ye, you have to be really

1179
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:34,399
Speaker 2: rich to live there because I see all the really

1180
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:35,120
Speaker 2: expensive things.

1181
00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:36,280
Speaker 9: Hey, it's tax free.

1182
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:40,160
Speaker 2: What do you mean no tax? Like no income tax? Yeah,

1183
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:42,040
Speaker 2: no sales tax. Uh.

1184
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:45,680
Speaker 9: They introduced like the smallest like luxury goods tax. I

1185
00:48:45,719 --> 00:48:47,560
Speaker 9: think it's like two point five percent or something, but

1186
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 9: no tax.

1187
00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:51,520
Speaker 2: Wow. Yeah, that was fun looking up jobs now.

1188
00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:54,680
Speaker 9: I always tell everyone it balances out right because you're

1189
00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:57,279
Speaker 9: spending so much money. It's really expensive there, especially if

1190
00:48:57,320 --> 00:48:59,479
Speaker 9: you want to drink out there. It's really expensive because

1191
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:03,759
Speaker 9: everything's being important. Nothing's grown there. Really, it's difficult to like, yeah,

1192
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:04,879
Speaker 9: to make things there.

1193
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:06,799
Speaker 2: Would you ever want to go back and live there?

1194
00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:07,239
Speaker 1: No?

1195
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:09,440
Speaker 9: But I really appreciate it going back now and enjoying

1196
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:11,360
Speaker 9: it as what it is designed for. And it's designed

1197
00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:13,640
Speaker 9: to be a vacation place, so you will go back

1198
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:16,240

Speaker 9: It went really well for a year. I had the

1210
00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:39,480
Speaker 9: best on air year I think in terms of like

1211
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:42,439
Speaker 9: growth and learning how to do a solo morning show

1212
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:46,840
Speaker 9: just me and a producer. I loved it. It was

1213
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:49,520
Speaker 9: for a really big brand, but one of their local affiliates.

1214
00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:52,120
Speaker 9: The funny thing is my dad was on one of

1215
00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:55,200
Speaker 9: those local affiliates too doing a morning show. We were

1216
00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:58,680
Speaker 9: doing the same hours, playing the same songs in two

1217
00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:00,960
Speaker 9: different markets at the same time for the same brand.

1218
00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:02,480
Speaker 9: The station was, So you.

1219
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:03,960
Speaker 2: Aren't competing aast each other. You've never work up for

1220
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:05,719

00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:09,120
Speaker 9: I was there for a year and then all of

1223
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:13,000
Speaker 9: a sudden, I think there was twenty five local morning shows.

1224
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:18,200
Speaker 9: We attended this group like programming meeting, and everyone kind

1225
00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:20,400
Speaker 9: of knew that they were going to scrap one of

1226
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:22,040
Speaker 9: the local shows. We just didn't know which one. We

1227
00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:24,680
Speaker 9: thought it was going to be afternoon Drive, but it

1228
00:50:24,719 --> 00:50:28,719
Speaker 9: was mornings. So they canned twenty five morning shows like that.

1229
00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:32,120
Speaker 2: You and your dad, Yeah, yeah, same time.

00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:39,000
Speaker 9: next day we got told to go back on the air.

1233
00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:40,759
Speaker 9: We started to work out like the rest of the

1234
00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:43,440
Speaker 9: couple months, knowing that we were just losing our jobs.

1235
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:45,360
Speaker 9: The next day, I was with my producer in the

1236
00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:48,120
Speaker 9: studio and he was like, well, what are you going

1237
00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:49,719
Speaker 9: to do? And I was like, I don't know. I'm

00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:51,360
Speaker 9: going to look at like see who I know and

1239
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:52,719
Speaker 9: where they are in the world. I don't want to

1240
00:50:52,719 --> 00:50:54,880
Speaker 9: go back to Dubai. I was like, I've been there,

1241
00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:57,240
Speaker 9: have done that. I always wanted to move to the US,

1242
00:50:57,400 --> 00:51:01,239
Speaker 9: but it's really difficult with visa, especially if you don't

1243
00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:03,800
Speaker 9: really have any experience over there yet. But with Canada,

1244
00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:07,480
Speaker 9: the UK and Canada, they're in the Commonwealth, so your

1245
00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:10,360
Speaker 9: passport kind of works and it's easy to get a visa.

1246
00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:14,000
Speaker 9: So basically, I knew that my old program director who's

1247
00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:17,120
Speaker 9: hired me in Dubai was in Vancouver. He was working

1248
00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:19,160
Speaker 9: for a station called Kiss. So I booked a flight

1249
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:21,680
Speaker 9: to Vancouver on my own. I gave myself a month

1250
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:24,480
Speaker 9: flying back from Toronto, so kind of west coast, east coast,

1251
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:26,759
Speaker 9: with no plan in the middle, and I just thought

1252
00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:28,560
Speaker 9: I'd network the hell out of it and try and

1253
00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:31,279
Speaker 9: meet as many people as I could, you know, just

1254
00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:34,680
Speaker 9: try and you know, hey, can I can I meet you?

1255
00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:36,000
Speaker 9: Can we go for a coffee? Can we go for

1256
00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:37,600
Speaker 9: a drink? This is what I do. You know, I've

1257
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:39,040
Speaker 9: got my show real I've been in Dubai.

1258
00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:40,640
Speaker 2: Do you save up money from your jobs? Do you

1259
00:51:40,680 --> 00:51:41,880
Speaker 2: have enough saved up to do this?

1260
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:44,399
Speaker 9: They gave us like severance pay from that morning show,

1261
00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:46,799
Speaker 9: so I used all of it for that, so it

1262
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:47,680
Speaker 9: was like all or nothing.

1263
00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:48,040
Speaker 1: Really.

1264
00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:51,640
Speaker 9: On my last day in Toronto, I met my NOW

1265
00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:56,279
Speaker 9: program director and it really worked out well. It was

1266
00:51:56,360 --> 00:51:59,040
Speaker 9: right before COVID. They hired me and I was like, perfect,

1267
00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:01,040
Speaker 9: I'll take the job. Went back to the UK, got

1268
00:52:01,080 --> 00:52:04,040
Speaker 9: my visa. That was in July twenty nineteen, and I

1269
00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:07,480
Speaker 9: moved there in September twenty nineteen, so you've been there.

1270
00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:09,879
Speaker 2: I saw a video of you in Richard Branson, which

1271
00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:11,880
Speaker 2: I thought the picture of first was a fake plastic

1272
00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:14,840
Speaker 2: or like a wax. Richard Branson was he was literally

1273
00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:16,759
Speaker 2: at your station. Yeah yeah, yeah, So he's the big,

1274
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:18,719
Speaker 2: big big he oounds Virgin right because.

1275
00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:22,520
Speaker 9: I'm at Virgin Radio. So he came out because his airline,

1276
00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:26,600
Speaker 9: Virgin Atlantic, had reintroduced the service from Toronto to London

1277
00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:29,640
Speaker 9: Heathrow in England, so he was promoting that. So it's

1278
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:32,960
Speaker 9: part with that, you know. Whenever he's in town, you know,

1279
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:36,120
Speaker 9: I'm sure he's been at the Virgin hotel down the street.

1280
00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:40,399
Speaker 9: I'm staying there here in Nashville for free. I got

1281
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:40,879

Speaker 4: Yeah.

1287
00:52:50,719 --> 00:52:53,440
Speaker 9: So yeah, I interviewed him when he came out. I'd

1288
00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:55,240
Speaker 9: already met him before because he came out to Dubai

1289
00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:57,400

1459
00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:02,040

1460
00:59:02,040 --> 00:59:03,919

1461
00:59:03,920 --> 00:59:06,560

1464
00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:18,320
Speaker 2: not about Miles, Okay. I put this in the description

1465
00:59:18,400 --> 00:59:20,000
Speaker 2: of the video, so I need to make sure we

1466
00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:22,600
Speaker 2: do it so people that are here, like, I never

1467
00:59:22,640 --> 00:59:24,920
Speaker 2: heard that spill the tea. So someone on the show

1468
00:59:25,320 --> 00:59:28,200
Speaker 2: anonymously wanted to spill the tea on somebody else. So first, Ray,

1469
00:59:28,200 --> 00:59:30,000
Speaker 2: would you play spill the tea.

1470
00:59:30,360 --> 00:59:32,360
Speaker 7: Let's spill the tea.

1471
00:59:32,440 --> 00:59:37,000
Speaker 2: And so this is anonymous. They're they're using the voice changer.

1472
00:59:37,240 --> 00:59:39,600
Speaker 2: It's thirty one seconds hit it ray.

1473
00:59:40,360 --> 00:59:43,760
Speaker 4: This message is about Eddie. Does he not understand when

1474
00:59:43,800 --> 00:59:46,160
Speaker 4: you water a plant that you need to have something

1475
00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:49,760
Speaker 4: underneath it to catch the water. Eddie brought us plants

1476
00:59:49,840 --> 00:59:52,200
Speaker 4: and thought, oh, what a great gift. But one sits

1477
00:59:52,240 --> 00:59:55,840
Speaker 4: outside the studio and Eddie continues to water it and he.

1478
00:59:55,880 --> 00:59:58,360
Speaker 2: Pours a bunch of water in it, and the water just.

1479
00:59:58,320 --> 01:00:00,640
Speaker 4: Comes out the bottom of the plant and weeks.

1480
01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:01,840
Speaker 2: All over the table and floor.

1481
01:00:01,920 --> 01:00:05,360
Speaker 4: But Eddie doesn't care about keeping on workspace clean or

1482
01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:09,360
Speaker 4: common areas clean as plant. Who cares if it weeks

1483
01:00:09,400 --> 01:00:11,480
Speaker 4: all over the floor? Eddie too better?

1484
01:00:12,320 --> 01:00:16,760
Speaker 2: Okay, that's anonymous. I wonder who that was.

1485
01:00:14,520 --> 01:00:14,760
Speaker 1: That was.

1486
01:00:17,160 --> 01:00:17,440
Speaker 4: Eddie?

1487
01:00:17,640 --> 01:00:18,400
Speaker 2: Your answer to that?

1488
01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:20,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I really couldn't understand much of it because it

1489
01:00:20,720 --> 01:00:21,400
Speaker 1: was anonymous.

1490
01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:24,680
Speaker 2: But I guess like you're being sloppy. There's water everywhere

1491
01:00:24,720 --> 01:00:26,959
Speaker 2: from you with this plant, but that's not my plant.

1492
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:28,960
Speaker 2: I don't even know what they're talking about, you watering it?

1493
01:00:29,120 --> 01:00:31,720
Speaker 1: No? Oh, then I don't even know who, Like I.

1494
01:00:31,720 --> 01:00:33,160
Speaker 2: Gave you, I didn't.

1495
01:00:33,960 --> 01:00:36,600
Speaker 8: Right, So I gave yours to someone else. It's not

1496
01:00:36,640 --> 01:00:39,560
Speaker 8: even here. And then I gave Amy one and lunchbox.

1497
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:43,320
Speaker 8: Lunchbox said he took his home, So I guess that's Amy's.

1498
01:00:43,480 --> 01:00:46,320
Speaker 6: I'm not watering it, so I don't know, man, who's

1499
01:00:46,360 --> 01:00:46,840
Speaker 6: watering it?

1500
01:00:47,520 --> 01:00:48,760
Speaker 2: Scoba, Do we know anything about this?

1501
01:00:49,320 --> 01:00:50,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. There's one over here on the table

1502
01:00:50,840 --> 01:00:51,000
Speaker 1: of it.

1503
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:53,000
Speaker 7: It's got some water underneath this. I'm not sure. Well,

1504
01:00:53,040 --> 01:00:56,040
Speaker 7: maybe the clean lady waters it. Maybe let's let's just

1505
01:00:56,040 --> 01:00:56,400
Speaker 7: say this.

1506
01:00:56,600 --> 01:00:58,960
Speaker 5: I mean, whoever it was anonymous may have been sitting

1507
01:00:58,960 --> 01:01:01,160
Speaker 5: there and watched Eddie un screw a bottled water and

1508
01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:03,200
Speaker 5: pour water into it right around that table.

1509

Speaker 8: the he's the anonymous, but I.

1513

01:01:13,280 --> 01:01:13,680
Speaker 2: sword to.

1515
01:01:13,640 --> 01:01:16,000
