Speaker 1: Hello, This is Christian Bush and welcome to the first
Speaker 1: episode of Geeking Out, my new podcast. Every episode is
Speaker 1: a new person talking about what they're obsessed with that
Speaker 1: has nothing to do with their job. The only requirement
Speaker 1: is that they're totally geeking out on it and they
Speaker 1: want to talk about it. From Game of Thrones to
Speaker 1: craft beer, from rescuing dogs to remodeling airstream trailers, from
Speaker 1: collecting retro Barbie dolls to three D printing. Tell me
Speaker 1: about what you love, why you love it, how you
Speaker 1: got into it, what makes it awesome, and really why
Speaker 1: someone else could get into it too. Each episode is
Speaker 1: presented in three chapters. In chapter one, my guest and
Speaker 1: I will go deep diving on whatever they're passionate about.
Speaker 1: Chapter two is a game I call trade jo, where
Speaker 1: my guests and I turned each other onto one thing
Speaker 1: that we've just discovered. And Chapter three closes the show
Speaker 1: with me talking about music that I'm currently geeking out
Speaker 1: on and why I believe that curiosity is contagious and
Speaker 1: that life is better with a soundtrack. So let's go
Speaker 1: Chapter one. This week's guest is Granger Smith. Granger is
Speaker 1: my label mate at Wheelhouse Records. Whose debut album, Remington's,
Speaker 1: featured number one hit back Road song. You might know
Speaker 1: him better as his alter ego Earl Dibbel's Jr. If
Speaker 1: you're not already a member of the Nation, you're about
Speaker 1: to be. Because I'm always moving around and I can't
Speaker 1: always predict where my perfect next guest will appear. I'm
Speaker 1: sometimes on location. So here Granger and I are talking
Speaker 1: in the lobby bar of Hilton Garden Inn and Charleston,
Speaker 1: South Carolina, after a show that we played together for
Speaker 1: the local radio station. You can hear us occasionally laughing
Speaker 1: with our band at the table, or uh talking to
Speaker 1: the waitress, or enjoying that old time tradition of a
Speaker 1: last drink before bedtime. Enjoy I mean with a Granger
Speaker 1: and I'm eating French fries. Awesome. Yeah we are, UM,
Speaker 1: so welcome to the podcast. It's good to be here.
Speaker 1: I like this podcast. You know it's on location. We're
Speaker 1: in a lobby about us. Say they're not even paying
Speaker 1: us to say not yet. You know what, I like
Speaker 1: your entrepreneurial spirit and that's one of the things that
Speaker 1: really bonds us, you and me. Besides we're on the
Speaker 1: same record there. Um Okay, So you know, the reason
Speaker 1: that you're here, or at least I'm putting you on podcast,
Speaker 1: is because I'm interested in what you're into right now,
Speaker 1: what you're kind of geeked out on that has nothing
Speaker 1: to do with your job. The first thing comes from
Speaker 1: my mind because I was just dealing with this yesterday.
Speaker 1: But I'm into bees. I'm a beekeeper. It feels awesome
Speaker 1: to say that. By the way, I'm a I'm a beekeeping.
Speaker 1: I am a new beekeeper. Your new beekeeper. Huh. Aren't
Speaker 1: like people from Brooklyn that are like hipsters into beekeeping?
Speaker 1: Probably so? Um, but so are farmer type guys too, right.
Speaker 1: So there's because my bees are not garden bees. They
Speaker 1: actually have you know, space country country are these are? These?
Speaker 1: Are these free range bees? Free range country? Somebody asked
Speaker 1: me one time when I first brought this up. They said, so,
Speaker 1: how do you get into their area? And I said
Speaker 1: what area? And they said, you know what the net
Speaker 1: like the little house with the net. And I said, man,
Speaker 1: they just go everywhere. How they know when to go back? Well,
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's its nature's mystery. They know how
Speaker 1: to get back. They travel five miles every day. Bees
Speaker 1: travel every day. They will go miles in their life,
Speaker 1: and they only lived thirty five days. Let's facts keep coming. Okay,
Speaker 1: how did you get into Okay, I it's probably started
Speaker 1: with me with fruit trees. I love trees. I love
Speaker 1: planting trees, I love established trees, I love planting new trees.
Speaker 1: I like planting seeds. I just for some reason, I
Speaker 1: think my dad was into it. It's in my mom's
Speaker 1: side of the family too. There's something about it. In
Speaker 1: every house I've ever lived in, I've planted a tree
Speaker 1: at some point in my life. I got into fruit
Speaker 1: trees about four years ago. I got two peach trees,
Speaker 1: two plum trees, um pomegranate. I have BlackBerry bushes and
Speaker 1: a fig tree, all kind of this one little area.
Speaker 1: And the number one way to really escalate the pollination
Speaker 1: is beats. There's number one pollinator for any I mean,
Speaker 1: there's there's butterflies, there's other things, but birds, But the
Speaker 1: biggest pollinator of anything is bees. And so I thought, Okay,
Speaker 1: what do I have enough bees? I don't know. I
Speaker 1: don't know. How does anyone know if they have enough
Speaker 1: bees in their area? And I've seen bees, But but
Speaker 1: then I started thinking, what if I brought in beat
Speaker 1: A lot of people do that, I could bring in bees.
Speaker 1: So I started researching, looking on the internet, typing in bees.
Speaker 1: How long ago with this? This was about? This was
Speaker 1: the right around two years ago. And the reason I
Speaker 1: know that is because I went to a show. I
Speaker 1: was a show and a friend of mine from high
Speaker 1: school shows up and we were just talking and I'm
Speaker 1: happen to mention I was interested in bees, and he
Speaker 1: goes me too, I'm actually about to buy something from
Speaker 1: my house And I said, wow, that's incredible. I said,
Speaker 1: I wish I could do that, but I'm touring all
Speaker 1: the time, so there's no way I could go buy bees,
Speaker 1: build the hives and paint them and get them. I
Speaker 1: would love to one day, ten years down the road,
Speaker 1: and love to do that. And he goes, tell you, what,
Speaker 1: whyn't you just give me your credit card number, will
Speaker 1: buy a couple of hives for you, and then I'll
Speaker 1: go buy a couple of homes from me. We'll deliver
Speaker 1: them all to my house. I'll set it up for
Speaker 1: you and I'll get the bees going at my house.
Speaker 1: That way, I'll get the hard part, the really, you know,
Speaker 1: the extensive work that it takes, the early be years
Speaker 1: or tough years. And I was like, that's awesome. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so he did it. This was so he got he
Speaker 1: ordered him. He got him in about six months later.
Speaker 1: So he had him at his house about a year
Speaker 1: and a half. And then this was the year when
Speaker 1: they're established strong, ready to go. And he called me.
Speaker 1: He's like, hey, your bees are ready. So I got
Speaker 1: them in March this year. Um so so now it's June.
Speaker 1: So I went down and to San Antonio. I'm in Austin.
Speaker 1: He was in San Antonio, drove down and uh, he
Speaker 1: put them. We put them. We took them out of
Speaker 1: their hives and put them in nukes, which was really funny. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: so we take the frames of their brood box. This
Speaker 1: is getting crazy. But the brood boxes where the bees.
Speaker 1: As you could tell, I'm am obsessed with this, But
Speaker 1: the brood box is where um that's where they live.
Speaker 1: That's where the queen lives. That's where she makes all
Speaker 1: her larva. That's where they make all their their food.
Speaker 1: That's going to supply him for the winner. At my house,
Speaker 1: I need a brood box bread box. My favorite new
Speaker 1: indie band yes, bread box is amazing. So what you
Speaker 1: take the brood box and then you put a queen
Speaker 1: excluder on top, which is a screen that allows all
Speaker 1: the rest of the bees to go through it. But
Speaker 1: she can't because she's too big, so it traps her
Speaker 1: in the brood box, which is fine. She needs to
Speaker 1: be busy making her eggs, layer eggs. And then you
Speaker 1: you put these supers on top. A super is essentially
Speaker 1: the same thing as a brood box. It's got tin
Speaker 1: frames in it with a little little uh manmade honeycomb
Speaker 1: replica that they go. They are attracted to and they
Speaker 1: build out their comb. So when you put a super
Speaker 1: on top of a broodbox, you never touched the brood box.
Speaker 1: That's their food, that's their supply, that's how they live.
Speaker 1: But the super on top of that is what you
Speaker 1: can harvest for your own honey. You can pull that out, Yes,
Speaker 1: they don't need that. You can make two supers on
Speaker 1: top of that per hive. So we take the brood
Speaker 1: box frames out. You've seen the frames on everyone's seen
Speaker 1: the frames. You take the frames out and we put
Speaker 1: them in this little, this little nuke, which is basically
Speaker 1: a cardboard box that you put the frames in and
Speaker 1: then close it seal it. So I take those so
Speaker 1: I put all the bees in there. It's crazy, seal
Speaker 1: it up. Put them in the back of my truck.
Speaker 1: Is it like a kid? Like a kid's on board.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna dry fifteen thousand bees in each hive, and
Speaker 1: I had two hives. I had thirty thousand bees in
Speaker 1: the back of my truck. I had to pull over
Speaker 1: and get gas on the way there, and I was like,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, you know, because because not all of
Speaker 1: them made it into the into the sealed box. You know,
Speaker 1: some of them are just kind of around and there.
Speaker 1: But they're just gonna keep up. So I get to
Speaker 1: my house and I put on the suit and I'm
Speaker 1: following the exact instructions that he gave me. I build
Speaker 1: the hive just like it was at his house. And
Speaker 1: then my wife and I, luckily I had her with me.
Speaker 1: We're smoking him too. You smoke him with a little
Speaker 1: little smoker because it chills him out. It disorians. This
Speaker 1: is not like a Washington State. It's a little bit different.
Speaker 1: Is a different kind of smoking, but essentially the same
Speaker 1: the same effect. It chills him out. M out distorians,
Speaker 1: Can we stop? Are you actually stoning the bees? You're
Speaker 1: stoning the bees totally? I love it. Yeah, cedar chips,
Speaker 1: that's what we want to call it. Yeah, yeah, So
Speaker 1: my wife and there we are. We're, you know, smoking
Speaker 1: them like crazy. We open up the site of opening
Speaker 1: up that that nuke for the first time and seeing
Speaker 1: them in there, fifteen thousand bees and you've got to
Speaker 1: reach in there with your hand, gloved hands. You've got
Speaker 1: to pull out a frame and they're just coded on
Speaker 1: each side of the frame, and then walk it over
Speaker 1: and put it into their new box, like here's your home.
Speaker 1: It is the biggest rush I've had. I was. I mean,
Speaker 1: my heart's pounding. I'm holding YouTube. Yes. So then you
Speaker 1: have super is built on top of right exactly. So
Speaker 1: what happened is the queen. Everyone's attracted to the queen.
Speaker 1: She's the leader. And I didn't see her. I could have,
Speaker 1: but I was preoccupied. But she was somewhere on one
Speaker 1: of those frames, crawling around. You could see her because
Speaker 1: she'd be bigger than all the REPSOD So I put him,
Speaker 1: I put him into the food box and then I
Speaker 1: cover it with the being the queen excluder, and then
Speaker 1: I put the um. I I didn't put a super
Speaker 1: on yet because they don't need it yet. They needed
Speaker 1: to fill out the rest of their frames, right, But
Speaker 1: I did put on a little a little feeding box
Speaker 1: on top, so that feeding boxes half sugar half water mish. Yesterday,
Speaker 1: for the very first time, I went in there and
Speaker 1: added a super because they had filled out their brood box.
Speaker 1: So when I took off the feeding box, they had
Speaker 1: been building comb all under the feeding box on top
Speaker 1: of their brood box. So I just was like, hey,
Speaker 1: I gotta I got a spoon and a tupperware and
Speaker 1: I just pulled off all of this comb with a
Speaker 1: big spoon and put it into the tupperware and got
Speaker 1: back and I had a whole bowl full of honey. Okay,
Speaker 1: So how often do you think about the bees now
Speaker 1: that you're out on tour. I think about it all
Speaker 1: the time. I'm texting my wife that you feed the bees?
Speaker 1: You know, the strangest, the strangest text. And do you
Speaker 1: have children? I do? We have three little ones. You
Speaker 1: do you like worry more about the bees than the children.
Speaker 1: Since I'm a man, probably not to be honest. Let's
Speaker 1: be honest, probably not, but I do think about him
Speaker 1: a lot and my kids. I would think that bugs
Speaker 1: are kind of icky to some kids. But they want
Speaker 1: to put on the suit and they want to go
Speaker 1: right up to the box. And if you look right
Speaker 1: at the entrance, they have a little entrance. It's it's
Speaker 1: an inch long entrance and they they go in there.
Speaker 1: And these bees constantly going in, constantly going out all
Speaker 1: day long. And the ones going in got the little
Speaker 1: pollen sacks on their legs and they're going in. They
Speaker 1: deposit the nextar and the nectar and pollen they head
Speaker 1: to right back out. The funny thing is, if you
Speaker 1: watch it close enough, there's these guards. There's bouncers, but
Speaker 1: guard the outside seriously. They check i'd ease, and they'll
Speaker 1: find a little robber by that tries to get in there.
Speaker 1: He's either a local bee or he's one from next door,
Speaker 1: and they will kick his ass. Kid, they will kick
Speaker 1: the ship out of Have you slow mode your bees yet?
Speaker 1: Have you gone to the SlowMo setting on your phone?
Speaker 1: I phone? That's a great idea. I should do that. Okay,
Speaker 1: I have not done it. That's a great idea. Yeah,
Speaker 1: when when when when we do when we post this podcast,
Speaker 1: we need to have at least a SloMo of your bees.
Speaker 1: I will have that done for you. Okay. So, um,
Speaker 1: now that we understand the full breadth of your obsession, um,
Speaker 1: and why you're kind of geeking out on this, how
Speaker 1: would you recommend someone else get into this? Like? What's
Speaker 1: the gateway drug? Well? How do you start? Um? You know,
Speaker 1: the internet is so full as of any other subject,
Speaker 1: it's just full of It's a wealth of knowledge of
Speaker 1: of ways to use. Yeah to to be able to
Speaker 1: sit there and watch a YouTube video of a guy
Speaker 1: actually setting up it's really easy. You can get everything online,
Speaker 1: deliver it right to your house. And a musician like
Speaker 1: me traveling all the time, it makes it tough. But
Speaker 1: if you're nine to five or this is this is
Speaker 1: easy you could You could literally do it in your garden.
Speaker 1: Is it in a morning? Ritual? Is an evening? Like? Well,
Speaker 1: I have learned that in the afternoon my bees are crazy.
Speaker 1: In the afternoon, they're crazy, They're they're way more chill
Speaker 1: in the morning. They're really calm at night, and when
Speaker 1: it rains they all go home, they all go home. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so these bees live thirty five days. This is what's crazy.
Speaker 1: So the queen is like any other normal bee. She
Speaker 1: lives longer because she's been fed the royal jelly from
Speaker 1: not making this up. The royal jelly. It's like straight
Speaker 1: out of a Disney movie. Now, when she's at the end,
Speaker 1: they will elect a new queen out of the worker bees.
Speaker 1: I don't know how they elect one that, but they
Speaker 1: all find one. She gets elected and they feed her
Speaker 1: the royal jelly and she grows to the size of queen.
Speaker 1: I think, I think I think they're doing that in
Speaker 1: the UK right now, Chapter two. In every episode of
Speaker 1: Geeking Out, I see if I can trade one thing
Speaker 1: I've discovered recently with one thing that my guest has discovered,
Speaker 1: like a friendly exchange. I call it trade you. So
Speaker 1: this is called trade you. I'll trade you one thing
Speaker 1: for one thing. Right, you turn me onto something, I'll
Speaker 1: turn you onto something. So I'm obsessed currently a little
Speaker 1: bit with cold brew coffee. Right, and so this is
Speaker 1: coffee that is steeped for a whole day. It takes
Speaker 1: a whole day to make a gallon usually if you
Speaker 1: do it the right way, and there are there there
Speaker 1: are a lot like Kraft beers. You know there are
Speaker 1: people that are making this. And one of the cool
Speaker 1: things that it does it takes the acid out of
Speaker 1: the coffee, so that doesn't hurt your stomach. The awkward
Speaker 1: thing that it does is it triples the caffeine. So
Speaker 1: when you pour yourself a cup of coffee, if cold
Speaker 1: brew that would be normally your regular cup of coffee,
Speaker 1: it's now like you're on adderall right, you gotta be really,
Speaker 1: really really careful not to overdo it. So the cold
Speaker 1: brew coffee that I love is obviously from Atlanta, Georgia.
Speaker 1: It's called Banjo coffee. But when somebody turned me onto
Speaker 1: not just the cold brew, but recently mixing it with lacroix. Lacroix,
Speaker 1: you know this, uh, this soda that's not a cola, right,
Speaker 1: and it's a coconut version. Everybody's got there on the
Speaker 1: rider these days. Yeah, Well it's awesome because it keeps
Speaker 1: you off drinking dice coke. Right. Um, But the lacroix,
Speaker 1: or the lacroix that I love now current obsession is
Speaker 1: a coconut which tastes like sunscreen. Um, if you could
Speaker 1: drink sunscreen that's carbonated, or the cold brew coffee half
Speaker 1: and half exactly into it with ice, a glass of ice,
Speaker 1: cold brew coffee, and the coconut lacroix, lacroix, however you
Speaker 1: want to pronounce it. It is the most refreshing summer
Speaker 1: drink ever. It's like coffee plus it's like a Mound's bar,
Speaker 1: but coffee but has zero calories. Okay, that's incredible. I
Speaker 1: don't have a name for yet, but that's that's what
Speaker 1: you need to text me. That word for word, what
Speaker 1: you said, I'm next to that plus that equals joy. Okay, Okay,
Speaker 1: now you turned me on to Okay, I'm gonna I'm
Speaker 1: gonna turn you. I'm gonna turn you onto something because
Speaker 1: of you said cold brew coffee. This guy's probably know
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna say, cold water therapy. It's a lot
Speaker 1: less enjoyable than cold brew coffee. You gonna put it
Speaker 1: that way. But cold water therapy is something I got
Speaker 1: into because, um in December, I broke a couple of
Speaker 1: ribs and punctured alone, fell off the stage when I
Speaker 1: when I got home, I wanted to be able to
Speaker 1: recover as fast as possible. I just hate sitting on
Speaker 1: a couch and recovering, and I didn't want anything to
Speaker 1: slow that down. So I started researching how how would
Speaker 1: Troy Aikman, you know, recover the fastest he could possibly recover,
Speaker 1: or how would any you know, NFL quarterback figure this out?
Speaker 1: Because I fin I kind of put those guys as
Speaker 1: the guys that would have the ultimate scientists a lot
Speaker 1: of money, right, So everything came back to cold weather
Speaker 1: therapy as that you know, you know, all professional athletes
Speaker 1: take ice bass and there's a reason. So I really
Speaker 1: got into this. And this was in December, so it
Speaker 1: was perfect because I would I would go to my
Speaker 1: pool and I would measure my pool at somewhere in
Speaker 1: the mid fifties. This is in December, so so it's
Speaker 1: that actually sounds to some people that sounds warm, but
Speaker 1: that's freaking cold. It's freaking cold, especially when outside. It's
Speaker 1: in the forties the temperature outside. So I would I
Speaker 1: would go get in there, and I started in a minute.
Speaker 1: Then I worked up to ten minutes, but three minutes
Speaker 1: is what I preferred. But what's crazy is you go
Speaker 1: in there and with whatever your whatever your ailment, or
Speaker 1: maybe you don't have an ailement, you just you just
Speaker 1: want to be completely what happens is you get completely
Speaker 1: recirculated with all your blood. Tell me how that works.
Speaker 1: So you jump in and you have you have the
Speaker 1: the Caveman brain effect of I'm gonna die. I'm gonna die.
Speaker 1: You do you think I'm going to die, because that's
Speaker 1: what it feels like. So every all the blood in
Speaker 1: your body rushes to your court and it holds there
Speaker 1: to protect your vital organs. That takes about thirty seconds.
Speaker 1: Because I had a timer. Every day I would do
Speaker 1: this and had a timer. It takes thirty seconds for
Speaker 1: all the blood in your body to rush to your court.
Speaker 1: When that happens, you hit a euphoria. Ah, this isn't
Speaker 1: too bad. You're kind of just bobbing in the water
Speaker 1: like hey, and everybody's like you Okay, It's like it's
Speaker 1: not too bad. And at that point you're good. You
Speaker 1: could wait for ten minutes if you want. Thank you.
Speaker 1: This is perfect. Anything we need to get out, Thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you, Thank you for being here. Man. Now we're
Speaker 1: gonna eat our food. Yes, thanks Buddy Ranger Smith. Chapter
Speaker 1: three me geeking out on music. Surprise surprise, right, all right.
Speaker 1: This week I'm diving into a record that was a
Speaker 1: really big deal for me, and later in life I
Speaker 1: got to explore it in in in a brand new way.
Speaker 1: But the artist name are the Police, and the album
Speaker 1: in question here is Ghost in the Machine, and when
Speaker 1: you look at it, it is a black album with
Speaker 1: like a digital read out looks like a digital clock,
Speaker 1: but each of their faces the way they did it
Speaker 1: with the you know, sting of spiked hair and and
Speaker 1: Andy Summers hair is going to the side and stuff
Speaker 1: like this, and it's it's a very enigmatic record for them.
Speaker 1: But what's most interesting to me is the second single
Speaker 1: off of this album was called every Little Thing She
Speaker 1: Does Is Magic. And I was always obsessed with this
Speaker 1: song for a very specific reason. I at the time
Speaker 1: that this came out, or at least by the time
Speaker 1: I heard it, I believe I was let's see what
Speaker 1: year did it come out? In? Eight one? So by
Speaker 1: the time I really dug into this record, I was
Speaker 1: twelve or thirteen, and I was learning to write songs
Speaker 1: at the time, and um, you know, these Police songs
Speaker 1: were complete thoughts and complete statements, and they they sounded
Speaker 1: like nothing else on the radio. Is some sort of
Speaker 1: strange British reggae rock and every little thing she does
Speaker 1: is magic. Is exactly like you know, a squared off,
Speaker 1: well written pop song, or even a country song to
Speaker 1: that matter. And what was fun to me about the
Speaker 1: recording is that there's just very little going on until,
Speaker 1: of course, the drums sort of take over in the courses.
Speaker 1: And the obsession that I had was kind of these
Speaker 1: beautiful melodies in the verses and here that's what they
Speaker 1: sound like. Okay, So the way this kind of works
Speaker 1: is I had suddenly been listening to Adam and the
Speaker 1: Ants and a couple of things that probably a kid
Speaker 1: from East Tennessee just had no business listening to. And
Speaker 1: I realized that you could put things on top of
Speaker 1: each other. And I was trained as a classical musician,
Speaker 1: so it made sense to me. Counterpoint, Uh, you know,
Speaker 1: one one part of the score layered with another part
Speaker 1: of the score later both that had appeared individually earlier.
Speaker 1: And what happened so at the end of this song,
Speaker 1: there's what's called a fade. And nowadays, you know, we
Speaker 1: just kind of draw a fade on a computer, but
Speaker 1: at the time you had to actually physically have your
Speaker 1: hand on the fader, the master fader on your counsel
Speaker 1: and then you would slowly fade it down right, and
Speaker 1: depending on how much coffee your engineer had had that day,
Speaker 1: your fades were quick or you know, depending on how
Speaker 1: much of a I don't know, a stoner or something
Speaker 1: that they were, that they would if they would fade
Speaker 1: it slowly right, and it would be the perfect timing
Speaker 1: on how to close the conversation of a song. So,
Speaker 1: this particular song has a fade in it that um
Speaker 1: has always always perplexed me. I was the kid who
Speaker 1: as the song faded on the radio, I would turn
Speaker 1: the radio up and up and up to try to
Speaker 1: counter the engineer turning it down. I kept turning it
Speaker 1: up and up and up because what Sting had done
Speaker 1: and the guys and the police had put one part
Speaker 1: of the song of the melody over a different part
Speaker 1: of the music, and it only happens on the fade.
Speaker 1: And I thought to myself, man, it is the coolest
Speaker 1: thing I've ever heard. So here here's that part, all right.
Speaker 1: So fast forward, let's see, almost eleven years or twelve years,
Speaker 1: I end up as my job getting a record deal
Speaker 1: with my my friend Andrew Hira and Billy Pilgrim and
Speaker 1: now we are literally in London and we get to
Speaker 1: work with Hugh Pagam, the man who produced a lot
Speaker 1: of these police records, and I can't help but ask
Speaker 1: him when I finally get the like one social time
Speaker 1: moment to say, Hugh, please tell me what does it
Speaker 1: What did it sound like for the rest of that song?
Speaker 1: Because the ending of that song, and I know you
Speaker 1: produced it, was one of my favorite things of all time,
Speaker 1: and I always wondered what the tales out version of
Speaker 1: that is, tails out being you know, we all recorded
Speaker 1: on on actual tape and the tail of the tape
Speaker 1: if if you hadn't have faded it down on the fader,
Speaker 1: what how long did that song go? What could I
Speaker 1: hear the rest of that song? And uh, he laughed
Speaker 1: and he told me the story of it. He said, well,
Speaker 1: that song was actually the demo that we had. The
Speaker 1: drummer played to the demo that Staying had already made
Speaker 1: and literally the end of the fade is where the
Speaker 1: tape runs out on the machine. So um, at least
Speaker 1: I know that, uh there there was nothing that happened
Speaker 1: after that, so I don't have any fear of missing
Speaker 1: out of what's there. But it is in its entirety
