And I was like, oh, like because 0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:35.440 I knew I I hadn't found like my own thing yet, right, 0:01:35.959 --> 0:01:37.679 And so I and I started listening to the Police 0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:43.039 a lot, Prince, just shit that wasn't like like Weezer, 0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:45.600 like Green Day or the shit that I was growing up. 0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:48.160 Influence started changing. I started loving to go see people, 0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:52.120 you know, musicians play you know for hours, you know, 0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:54.080 just going to see stuff, going to see guys that 0:01:54.120 --> 0:01:56.840 could do it on a level that was really amazing. 0:01:57.480 --> 0:01:59.760 And so that changed the way I approached music. And 0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:02.680 I think singing definitely. I think Steve I have to 0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:04.920 credit Stevie with like the big shift in the way 0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:07.360 I started going at it. And I was like, in 0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:09.120 like los feelis at this point with a bunch of 0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:10.720 hipsters that we're all trying to be like the Strokes, 0:02:10.720 --> 0:02:13.320 you know, and ship. So it was super uncool to 0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:15.480 try and sound like what we were trying to sound like. 0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:17.320 What was the Stevie record that grabbed you? 0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:23.040 So that's what that's what gets you in, and you 0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:26.000 got to go everywhere else, but that, of course go back. 0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:28.520 That's also like the White Album, like like yeah, yeah, 0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:31.080 that's crazy everybody's starting point. 0:02:31.240 --> 0:02:31.800 Double record. 0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:34.560 That'd be like off the wall, or would be like Thriller. 0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:38.720 The thriller, yeah, okay, Songs is thriller, yeah, and Inner 0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:39.520 Visions is. 0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:40.519 Off the wall. 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:44.040 Inner Visions came second always. 0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:48.040 All right, so we're having Rivers is coming on the show. 0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:53.200 So because you're weezer, heead and this is my favorite subject. 0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:56.519 Are you a Pinkerton? 0:02:57.160 --> 0:02:57.480 All right? 0:02:57.480 --> 0:02:58.040 Here's the deal. 0:02:58.080 --> 0:03:01.000 That records so fucking incredible. Okay, well, the Blue Record 0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:02.000 is the shit. 0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:04.400 Everyone lives for the Blue Record, no man, But I 0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:09.280 feel like people sometimes ride for Pinkerton too hard, as 0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:13.080 in like that establishes who they are. I'm sticking to 0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:15.800 my initial feelings of Pinkerton. I listened to it and 0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:17.600 I was like, it's not like the Blue Record, and 0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:19.640 I let it go. But then when I started reading 0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:23.600 every critic, every music snop was like Pinkerton's there Dad 0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:26.799 in a moment. So Weezer came out with his debut 0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:29.919 record and you know, in an era of like grunge 0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:31.640 music and all that stuff, and sort of created their 0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:34.639 own lane in nineteen ninety four, and then in ninety 0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:37.400 six they kind of pulled a one to eighty and 0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:41.120 did like an opposite record or maybe a departure record. 0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:43.119 I don't know, it remains to be seen. We'll ask 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:45.640 them on the show in the future. And so they 0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:49.920 did this like art record, and I don't know for me. 0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:53.360 Look, I understand the criticism of it because the first 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:56.120 one was super polished, right, and it was like thought 0:03:56.200 --> 0:04:00.040 through and like every song had I don't know. It 0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:02.320 was kind of a perfect album, honestly, and then the 0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:04.600 second one was raw and unleashed and it was like 0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:05.560 kind of a fuck you. 0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:06.200 Record kind of. 0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:08.200 I kind of think they were trying to Yeah, it's 0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:11.640 not their progress, maybe these things that I look, we 0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:14.800 shared a manager at the time, so he gave us 0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:17.120 the record, and I remember cassette tapes. 0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:21.440 I had the tape before it came out, and I 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:24.040 like wore it out in my car and I listened 0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:27.279 to it every single day whenever I could, so I 0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:29.120 have like a special relationship with it because I felt 0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:30.720 like I had this like in where I could hear 0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:33.040 something before everyone else did. And then they did the record. 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:35.200 I went to Tower Records, Cower. 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:37.400 Records Parking Lot. They played the sac whole Saging record, 0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:38.919 and now they're coming back and playing the Blue record 0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:43.760 right which I got to see. But Pinkerton is like, 0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:47.520 it doesn't sound good, like it's the productions kind of 0:04:47.560 --> 0:04:49.479 it's kind of like you could tell they were trying 0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:52.279 to just like throw it, throw it together. The guitar 0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:54.680 sounds weren't like pristine like the ones that recal cases 0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:57.560 that were like so huge. It didn't have like an 0:04:57.640 --> 0:04:58.880 aggressive feeling to it. 0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:00.000 It was artsy like you said. 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:04.200 But like the songs were just kind of as good 0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:06.440 as I believe the songs were as good. 0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:08.000 It just they didn't give a shit. 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:10.600 They didn't want to sit there and like do takes 0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:13.440 forever and you could feel that. But I kind of 0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:16.160 like I kind of just looked through it and it 0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:18.760 kind of has like Pixies production, you know, where it's 0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:24.279 just like like big fat drums and just kind of disorganized. 0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:25.800 But it's chaos, but it's great and I don't know, 0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:26.440 I love it. 0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:27.760 And then they got more. 0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:30.599 Then they kind of went back to like toge, So 0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:33.240 it's special. I think that's why everyone sees who knows, 0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:35.160 but it feels like that's what was so special. 0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:37.320 I always expected Departure album to be like the fourth 0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:41.320 or fifth album after you established a cannon, And for them, it's. 0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:42.520 Kind of hard though, to like come out and just 0:05:42.520 --> 0:05:43.360 be like, here you go. 0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:45.160 What you well. 0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:47.760 I was held confused at the time, and I think, 0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:51.360 you know, once three or four years went by him 0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:53.960 and suddenly I saw this critical turnaround, like that was 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:56.839 their greatest album. I didn't want to immediately jump on 0:05:56.880 --> 0:05:58.680 the bandwagon, so I like held on tight to my 0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:00.040 initial feelings to it. 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:02.360 What's crazy, though, is that like they had a crazy 0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:05.159 thing because that happened, and then you thought that was 0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:07.920 a wrap, probably right, because it was like but then 0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:11.479 they like like then people don't even know that record 0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:13.919 if you either love Pinkerton or you don't even know 0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:16.000 or care about it, because they made these other poppier 0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:17.800 records as time went on that were like much more 0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:19.960 akin to the first one. So it was this weird 0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:23.440 blip on their on their on their trajectory and they. 0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:26.080 Really touch it live in concert, which to me, I 0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:28.440 don't know if they. 0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:31.479 I don't know how they see listened to it, see 0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:33.800 how he feels about it, because it's must be a 0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:36.640 really interesting perspective coming from him, But who knows. 0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:43.120 So was your north star? You can be your own 0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:43.640 nor star. 0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:48.080 You see me trying to figure that one out. Yeah, 0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:49.040 I mean it isn't. 0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:49.640 Not my north. 0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:54.520 You won't hit the five. Oh yeah. 0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:57.560 Weezer was the band and I was like, and then 0:06:57.600 --> 0:06:59.200 we departed from them and I started listening to all 0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:02.359 this other ship and then change everything. And also I 0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:05.520 love the fact I loved going against this a sick 0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:08.160 desire to always not do what everybody was doing. Like 0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:11.160 in town, it was this like resurgence of like it 0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:13.560 was like joy division was back, and then was loving 0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:16.320 that and it was all you know, strokes were so 0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:19.600 big and you can't One thing I would have I've 0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:22.200 learned over time is like you cannot do it better 0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:24.920 than the people who are doing it best in that moment, 0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:27.760 and everyone kind of tries to go for that, and 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:30.840 you're like, don't do that like juxtaposed, this is a 0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:33.720 little bit and so, and trust me, people didn't like it. 0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:36.200 Like we start doing shows and ship and people be 0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:37.880 like that sounds like Michael Jackson, Like what the is 0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:42.000 this guy? 0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:43.800 Like that's when the Negroes came back. 0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:47.640 The whites didn't understand we've been. 0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:51.360 But the whites did understand it in the beginning. 0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:52.440 Everybody understand. 0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:57.120 The beginnings in Hollywood were like this guy and it's 0:07:57.240 --> 0:07:57.640 l A two. 0:07:57.640 --> 0:07:58.360 He's not in New York. 0:07:58.400 --> 0:07:58.520 Now. 0:07:58.600 --> 0:08:00.480 The whites in New York, ya, I probably would down. 0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:02.840 Because that sounded like a funk band.

That's always like the craziest thing. 0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:26.920 I remember when we had our first big hit, and 0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:29.560 it was funny because because this Love was our first 0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:32.280 huge hit. I remember actually it was the second biggest 0:10:32.280 --> 0:10:34.120 song of the year. The first biggest song of the 0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:40.720 year was Usher Yeah and I'll Never were number two man, 0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:44.080 But it was that meant both those songs were so 0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:47.440 big and it was like my whole thought process because 0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:49.079 the first one we had, the Harder Breathe was the 0:10:49.120 --> 0:10:51.480 first album song album that was like top five I think, 0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:54.400 and then back back when you could know what a 0:10:54.480 --> 0:10:59.000 hit was. Now, yeah, it's no gauge. This love got 0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:01.520 so big and I'm like, oh, like and then she 0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:05.320 will be loved beauty and I'm like, oh my god. 0:11:05.960 --> 0:11:08.680 I was like tear worthy because you think, okay, it 0:11:08.720 --> 0:11:11.800 could be it, one might be it, and you know what. 0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:15.959 Lucky You get worried when something gets too successful. Are 0:11:15.960 --> 0:11:18.840 you automatically thinking like, okay, can we keep it up? 0:11:18.880 --> 0:11:19.719 Can we can we? 0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:23.199 The hit game is a crazy thing because like your 0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:25.120 expectations get really unreasonably high. 0:11:25.160 --> 0:11:26.000 What is that okay? 0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:28.559 Well, metaphorically speaking, what is that high? 0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:35.440 Like when God having hits multiple hits, it's like two 0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:42.040 number one hits feels like a million because you've officially escaped, right, 0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:44.240 So that's when you know it's real, and that's when 0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:46.400 you know you could like really run with it. I 0:11:46.400 --> 0:11:48.160 think it's heart. You get pigeonholed, you know, you get 0:11:48.240 --> 0:11:49.880 you get put in this place where you're like, ah, 0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:52.400 this is like this will define you forever. This song 0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:54.520 is going to follow you around. And when you escape 0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:57.679 that a little bit, it feels really liberating because then 0:11:57.720 --> 0:11:59.920 you're like, okay, like this is gonna this has a 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:03.280 life beyond and then again and a lot of ways 0:12:03.280 --> 0:12:05.120 it's a champagne problem because a hit is a hit 0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:07.640 is a hit, like but it's look, as we know, 0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:11.120 it's hard to latch onto that when that's all people know. 0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:13.240 Can you even fit all your hits in one show? 0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:14.560 Or do you go? 0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:17.960 I mean it depends like I'm a weirdo where it's 0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:19.680 like I love it when they're all big, big, and 0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:21.640 then the ones that aren't as big, I'm like, we'll 0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:24.880 do that one. But that's how it started, as like 0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:27.000 I remember, because we the band would fight a lot 0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:29.880 more back in the day about songs being and we 0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:31.600 we still they still want to put you on the 0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:33.000 in the set. I'm like, are you crazy? 0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:37.760 How do you guys decide who who's the alpha when 0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:40.640 it comes to. 0:12:40.679 --> 0:12:44.679 Okay, yeah me but but but also we've done things 0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:46.520 where we tried shit out and I'm like, it's not 0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:49.240 a good idea, I don't want to do it. We'll 0:12:49.240 --> 0:12:51.760 do it anyway, and then maybe and it's something on 0:12:51.800 --> 0:12:55.080 the rare the rare occasions, I'm wrong, okay, but people 0:12:55.120 --> 0:12:57.440 want to hear I think when you and I guess 0:12:57.480 --> 0:13:00.000 you could say it's like, sometimes I wish we could 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:01.920 kind of branch out and play more that I thought 0:13:02.000 --> 0:13:05.360 was going to be more received well, but then I 0:13:05.400 --> 0:13:07.800 feel like there's an expectation, like you're not not gonna 0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:12.040 play girls like you have to playing that song or 0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:15.000 you're an asshole. So like that's and once again, it 0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:18.320 can have many problems, but it's so fun to have 0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:19.959 a set full of hits. And I remember when we 0:13:20.000 --> 0:13:22.240 first started, it was like, shit, Okay, this one is 0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:23.920 gonna go here, and then this on's gonna go here, 0:13:24.000 --> 0:13:25.800 and then this one has to go here, and then 0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:27.520 it was like, oh, but why not. My whole thing 0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:29.200 was like, oh what if we were just all hits? 0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:32.199 That's what I was thinking. I was like, manifest, but manifest, 0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:34.400 I was like, why to make them all hits? 0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:37.559 Where is weight in y'all? Section? 0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:39.800 I love that song, man, we don't play that song enough. 0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:41.720 One of them. 0:13:41.800 --> 0:13:44.079 You don't play that song enough. And I love that song. 0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:47.400 That's hard because it's kind of mellow. So it's like 0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:50.000 it's hard because we have also we don't want of 0:13:50.000 --> 0:13:51.480 ballads all of a sudden, I love that song. 0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:53.120 Though, No, that's that's a jam man, for real. 0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:57.000 I mostly judge acts, not on the hits, but the filler. 0:13:57.960 --> 0:14:01.600 Like again, a lot of your favorite wonder songs are 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:04.880 filler songs, like at least for me, like Pastime Paradise 0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:11.320 wasn't a single another I know, but still like when 0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:13.120 people think of songs in the key life, they're thinking 0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:16.360 of summer soft, they're thinking of other songs. 0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:23.480 Like they're not do you were thinking of you just 0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:26.680 dropped the one song I don't like here's no. But 0:14:26.760 --> 0:14:28.760 here's another great example. Do you know what song was 0:14:28.800 --> 0:14:32.040 not a single? Isn't She Lovely? Was never a single? 0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:35.840 One song I thought Isn't She Lovely? Was the first single. 0:14:36.120 --> 0:14:36.960 It wasn't a single. 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:39.520 No, it was an album cut that was so goddamn 0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:42.120 popular that we just thought he eventually made it a 0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:46.640 B side of as which I never I wish was 0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:47.280 the first single. 0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:48.800 I never knew that. 0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:53.280 I actually thought, Isn't She Lovely was the first single 0:14:53.280 --> 0:14:55.880 off song, which wasn't the case. 0:14:56.240 --> 0:14:57.600 I wish was first. 0:14:57.920 --> 0:15:01.400 Uh, then it heard Duke was second. 0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:03.160 And and I wish her back to back right on 0:15:03.200 --> 0:15:06.280 the record, they go into each other, yos, that's what's 0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:09.360 so fucked up about that? Records? Like, oh my god, but. 0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:10.480 Ps Adam was it? 0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:12.760 What did you feel like when you saw that PJ 0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:15.880 did the whole Stevie duet, Because like you said, right. 0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:16.280 Like what was that? 0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:22.160 He's talked about a lot too. Okay, We're like, oh, 0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:23.440 you talk like you'll be late. 0:15:23.520 --> 0:15:33.160 We're like, oh, Steve, can you talk about the expansion 0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:36.200 of the band and the whole story of how with PJ? 0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:39.400 Yes, Basically like Jesse left for a little bit and 0:15:39.880 --> 0:15:42.560 came back, so he when he left, should we have 0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:46.520 someone to play he PJ came in. I think that 0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:49.280 was it. I think once PJ was in, we had 0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:50.760 like it was like okay, well like a bunch of 0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:52.960 people are gonna come today and PJ came in. I'm like, no, 0:15:53.120 --> 0:15:53.520 we're good. 0:15:54.960 --> 0:15:57.600 This is now full story because we have Pj's perspective. 0:15:57.640 --> 0:16:00.640 Adam Blackstone too, right, because Adam Blackstone involved. 0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:05.160 In Yes, Yeah, there was a period where I thought 0:16:05.200 --> 0:16:07.600 I was going to be the exhibit of music, like 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:08.760 the whole Pimp My Ride thing. 0:16:10.080 --> 0:16:10.680 Well, because we. 0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:14.240 Started you were playing with jay Z right. 0:16:13.920 --> 0:16:18.720 And right I was, And then Eminem called and was like, yo, 0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:20.480 fix my ship and then we fixed this ship, and 0:16:21.200 --> 0:16:23.080 I think once the Tonight show came then it was 0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:25.840 like I can't do this, so I gotta pass it 0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:28.520 off to somebody. So then you guys called and I 0:16:28.560 --> 0:16:31.000 was like, wait, why would a group with hits want 0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:36.600 anyone from the roots to determine their future? Like I 0:16:36.640 --> 0:16:39.120 literally taught myself out of man. I'm like, wait, he 0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:42.160 wants me to what they got hits?

They're there, and they're like, hey, 0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:06.679 go in do it, and we cut it and it 0:18:06.760 --> 0:18:09.400 was like it was just one of the best music 0:18:09.680 --> 0:18:12.080 I've discovered. And it's taken me long enough to realize 0:18:12.080 --> 0:18:16.280 this happens instantly and without thinking about it, and the 0:18:16.280 --> 0:18:17.680 worst thing you could ever do, I think is sit 0:18:17.720 --> 0:18:19.800 down and like try to write a song, because that 0:18:19.920 --> 0:18:23.480 won't ever work, you know, I can't just be like okay, 0:18:23.600 --> 0:18:25.119 and so it just has to be you have to 0:18:25.160 --> 0:18:27.800 be so unself conscious and just freedid and that was it, 0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:31.600 and he trusted me. I trusted him. Neither one of 0:18:31.640 --> 0:18:33.160 them really said much. They were kind of just let 0:18:33.160 --> 0:18:35.359 me do my thing. And then I left and I 0:18:35.359 --> 0:18:37.159 was there for an hour, you know, And but it 0:18:37.200 --> 0:18:38.840 was just so quick and easy. 0:18:39.720 --> 0:18:42.000 So you wrote what you say he. 0:18:42.000 --> 0:18:46.679 Had like heard him say sometimes. And so then I 0:18:46.760 --> 0:18:50.119 had a song that actually I put the song on 0:18:50.200 --> 0:18:52.280 an album of ours that was not that was the 0:18:52.400 --> 0:18:54.520 version I heard him say before. But ours was like 0:18:54.840 --> 0:18:58.679 nothing's ever. His was nothing's ever promised tomorrow today, and 0:18:58.760 --> 0:19:01.560 mine was nothing last forever. But be honest, it hurts, hurts, 0:19:01.600 --> 0:19:03.200 but it will be the maybe the only way I took. 0:19:03.240 --> 0:19:06.199 We took those two and we smashed them together and 0:19:06.359 --> 0:19:08.960 made him made what became hurt him say, but it 0:19:09.000 --> 0:19:10.200 was it was the same melody. 0:19:10.240 --> 0:19:11.360 So the melody went. 0:19:11.200 --> 0:19:15.359 Over the beat perfectly, like eerily perfectly, and I was 0:19:15.400 --> 0:19:18.280 like ship. That was one of those like synergistic moments 0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:20.000 that I'll never forget. And then it's one of my 0:19:20.040 --> 0:19:24.920 favorite things I wrote. Yeah, it's and to this day 0:19:25.000 --> 0:19:27.720 that's like all the ship I've managed to accomplisable Room five, 0:19:28.200 --> 0:19:33.560 Like that's the number one thing. Especially guys, guys I 0:19:33.640 --> 0:19:35.760 feel comfortable saying that they love. They may not stay 0:19:35.800 --> 0:19:36.960 comfortably like Sugar, but the. 0:19:41.359 --> 0:19:43.200 Record where you. 0:19:43.200 --> 0:19:47.680 Guys are now with doing your your residency stuff, how 0:19:47.720 --> 0:19:50.159 do you? And it's so weird that you know, maybe 0:19:50.200 --> 0:19:54.160 pre Celine Dion, Vegas was seeing as a four letter 0:19:54.200 --> 0:19:58.160 word of a career, like you want to avoid the 0:19:58.280 --> 0:20:00.400 end of the train stop, which is that? 0:20:00.440 --> 0:20:04.160 But now it's almost like you gotta get a Vegas. 0:20:03.960 --> 0:20:06.720 Regular kill that shit. Vegas used to be that way. 0:20:06.880 --> 0:20:08.520 A singer being on TV used to be that way. 0:20:08.600 --> 0:20:10.080 He'd be like, shit, this is it, You're gonna do 0:20:10.400 --> 0:20:13.640 this TV. So it's changed so much, and I think 0:20:13.680 --> 0:20:15.560 we kind of let we gotta let it come to 0:20:15.640 --> 0:20:17.320 us over time, because we had a couple offers early. 0:20:17.359 --> 0:20:20.560 Early I was like it was too scary because nobody 0:20:20.640 --> 0:20:21.640 was really doing it yet. 0:20:21.920 --> 0:20:25.000 Did you have trepidation about accepting the voice like wait 0:20:25.040 --> 0:20:26.639 a minute, oh yeah, oh. 0:20:26.560 --> 0:20:28.639 Yeah, I'm a singer song and I don't want to. 0:20:30.240 --> 0:20:33.399 Back then, I mean it was like twenty eleven twelve. 0:20:33.560 --> 0:20:35.720 Did you discuss it with the band first or like, oh, 0:20:35.760 --> 0:20:36.399 the band was not. 0:20:36.880 --> 0:20:38.520 I know they weren't because it's like, I'm not working. 0:20:38.560 --> 0:20:40.080 What do you mean you're going to work every day? 0:20:40.280 --> 0:20:42.479 Also like but also forget about that. They were like 0:20:42.560 --> 0:20:43.800 what are you doing right? 0:20:43.800 --> 0:20:44.960 And what does what make us look like? 0:20:45.040 --> 0:20:45.480 To share? 0:20:45.560 --> 0:20:48.160 This has spin around ruin our career. 0:20:48.720 --> 0:20:50.560 So there was a lot of fear with the voice, 0:20:50.760 --> 0:20:53.040 like I remember that too, and I remember even then 0:20:53.080 --> 0:20:56.280 being like remember earlier, hey let me lead. I didn't 0:20:56.280 --> 0:20:58.119 believe my own words. But I was like, it's good, 0:20:58.200 --> 0:21:01.640 It's gonna be great. Like shit, I don't know, because 0:21:01.640 --> 0:21:03.679 the band kind of like plateaued a little bit, and 0:21:03.720 --> 0:21:06.000 so we were looking for something and it was one 0:21:06.000 --> 0:21:07.400 of those moments where I was like, this could either 0:21:07.440 --> 0:21:10.280 be the biggest disaster or the or the greatest I'm 0:21:10.280 --> 0:21:11.840 either go like a genius or an idiot. There's no 0:21:11.880 --> 0:21:12.399 in between it. 0:21:12.840 --> 0:21:15.320 So what was the process of coming up with Jagger 0:21:15.320 --> 0:21:18.000 And at the time did you feel like all right, 0:21:18.040 --> 0:21:20.200 this is it or was it like an arranged marriage 0:21:20.359 --> 0:21:22.560 situation where it's like I gotta have a song for 0:21:22.640 --> 0:21:23.480 the show, and. 0:21:23.600 --> 0:21:26.119 Well, what's crazy, this is a great story. So how 0:21:26.160 --> 0:21:27.600 they could say, gus the story, this is a great 0:21:27.640 --> 0:21:30.000 fucking story. So we had a single out, so we 0:21:30.080 --> 0:21:32.920 had I think this was like our third third album. 0:21:33.040 --> 0:21:35.200 We had a single out called never Gonna Leave This Bed, 0:21:36.080 --> 0:21:38.080 which is a great song, but it just wasn't a hit, 0:21:38.119 --> 0:21:40.520 and it wasn't and it was kind of stalling and 0:21:40.560 --> 0:21:42.560 all that stuff, and the label it would kind of 0:21:42.560 --> 0:21:43.679 like one of the like I said, we were kind 0:21:43.680 --> 0:21:45.640 of it was kind of platauing a little bit, and 0:21:45.840 --> 0:21:48.399 but I was on the voice. It just started shooting 0:21:48.440 --> 0:21:52.960 the voice and this song kind of it was like 0:21:53.040 --> 0:21:54.720 Jagger just kind of just fell into our laps, like 0:21:55.119 --> 0:21:58.480 these guys had it and they were like Originally the 0:21:58.640 --> 0:22:01.119 story with it was that it was meant for like 0:22:01.160 --> 0:22:04.080 a female artist to sing about a guy he's like 0:22:04.119 --> 0:22:07.800 he got the moves like Jackson and knowing what he 0:22:07.880 --> 0:22:11.920 wanted to touch it really and then I think even maybe 0:22:11.920 --> 0:22:13.760 it was pitched to like Genell Monad, I'm sure, and 0:22:13.800 --> 0:22:17.119 point it was like, I know that sounds crazy. She 0:22:17.160 --> 0:22:18.639 didn't obviously didn't want to do it, but like I 0:22:18.680 --> 0:22:22.120 remember hearing that name. It was early early, and then 0:22:22.480 --> 0:22:24.359 I kind of got in there and I had like, 0:22:24.359 --> 0:22:26.600 I'm a lyrics guy, like if the lyrics are really bad, 0:22:26.760 --> 0:22:28.919 like I can't touch something. So I had to go 0:22:28.960 --> 0:22:30.360 in and I was like, look, I think this could 0:22:30.359 --> 0:22:32.120 be great. I'll say I got the moves like Jack, 0:22:32.119 --> 0:22:33.640 and they're like, are sure you want to do that? 0:22:33.640 --> 0:22:35.199 That's kind of a crazy thing to say because the 0:22:35.240 --> 0:22:38.480 song was about like a romantic, you know, love interest 0:22:38.520 --> 0:22:40.320 for a girl. It was like a totally different perspective. 0:22:40.880 --> 0:22:42.800 And I was like, yeah, fuck it, why not? And 0:22:42.840 --> 0:22:46.119 then fixed the lyrics, which were like not good and 0:22:46.240 --> 0:22:49.639 Shellback great songwriter producer kind of it was his like Kernel. 0:22:49.640 --> 0:22:52.040 He was basically his idea, but there was like gibberish 0:22:52.040 --> 0:22:53.520 on the lyrics. So I got to run with those 0:22:53.520 --> 0:22:53.960 a little bit. 0:22:54.200 --> 0:22:56.480 Were you allowed to Yeah? 0:22:56.800 --> 0:23:00.480 Okay, I couldn't live with what was there? Bro? 0:23:01.000 --> 0:23:02.560 That sounds like a Max. 0:23:02.440 --> 0:23:04.800 One I never co wrote before, know the rules. 0:23:04.840 --> 0:23:06.720 I was like, yeah, we gotta change Swedish. 0:23:07.000 --> 0:23:07.560 They're Swedish. 0:23:07.640 --> 0:23:09.080 It was very It. 0:23:08.960 --> 0:23:11.360 Was a lot I want to sing. 0:23:13.040 --> 0:23:14.800 It wasn't Yeah, it was shell Back and that was 0:23:14.800 --> 0:23:17.439 like early because he was like maxis protege kind of. 0:23:17.880 --> 0:23:19.639 That was like the beginning of my relationship with Max 0:23:19.680 --> 0:23:21.480 and and show Back and all the that was like 0:23:21.520 --> 0:23:25.840 the Swede the Swede era, who did you physically go there? 0:23:26.119 --> 0:23:26.199 No? 0:23:26.200 --> 0:23:28.200 I didn't go. I haven't gone yet, okay, and I still 0:23:28.200 --> 0:23:28.560 haven't gone. 0:23:28.600 --> 0:23:29.639 But I love they were all here. 0:23:29.680 --> 0:23:31.320 Their lyrics are all gibberish, though it's most of them. 0:23:31.400 --> 0:23:33.960 They don't give it about later, which was great. 0:23:34.200 --> 0:23:37.880 What do they care about? 0:23:38.200 --> 0:23:40.720 But that was a dream for me because I'm like, oh, cool, 0:23:40.760 --> 0:23:41.359 I do give. 0:23:41.240 --> 0:23:44.639 A ship about and They're like, great, we don't give 0:23:44.640 --> 0:23:46.320 a ship. So I was like, awesome. It was a 0:23:46.320 --> 0:23:47.240 perfect relationship. 0:23:47.680 --> 0:23:51.080 So they then may prioritize that, but that's what That's 0:23:51.119 --> 0:23:51.600 what I'm saying. 0:23:51.640 --> 0:23:54.080 But they were the best at that. So they had 0:23:54.160 --> 0:23:55.840 that and I was like, I'm gonna talking about like 0:23:56.320 --> 0:24:00.720 your favorite car, you're Ferra. I'm like, no, that sounds 0:24:00.720 --> 0:24:02.639 like him. I was like, that ship right. 0:24:02.680 --> 0:24:03.480 So we changed it. 0:24:03.560 --> 0:24:06.560 We made him more bearable anyway, So that happened. 0:24:06.600 --> 0:24:07.080 It was great. 0:24:07.119 --> 0:24:08.320 It was fun. We were like, man, we got a 0:24:08.359 --> 0:24:09.920 fucking monster. I went to Mark Burnett, it was a 0:24:09.920 --> 0:24:12.040 producer of the voice, and I'm like, so we had 0:24:12.040 --> 0:24:12.399 a single. 0:24:12.400 --> 0:24:13.760 So here's where the story gets really good. 0:24:13.800 --> 0:24:15.760 So we had a single out so the you know, 0:24:15.880 --> 0:24:19.000 Interscope was pushing the single and we had this other 0:24:19.119 --> 0:24:21.560 song right that he didn't really I mean I wrote it, 0:24:21.600 --> 0:24:25.439 but not really. And uh Jordan, our manager, kind of 0:24:25.480 --> 0:24:27.919 hatched this scheme of like, okay, so we got Christina 0:24:27.960 --> 0:24:29.760 Aguilera to do the bridge of that song. It was 0:24:29.760 --> 0:24:33.119 like Jack, she's on the voice too. Obviously, Mark Burnett's like, 0:24:33.200 --> 0:24:35.200 I want this song, like I don't want you to 0:24:35.240 --> 0:24:36.440 do your single. I want you to do that.

And I still I 0:26:32.400 --> 0:26:34.159 will talk shit about all this because I don't give 0:26:34.160 --> 0:26:36.960 a fuck, like because record label shouldn't tell I don't 0:26:37.000 --> 0:26:39.200 think what PANTS was to do. And so that was 0:26:39.200 --> 0:26:42.600 where we took all the power because they were completely wrong. Hey, 0:26:42.680 --> 0:26:45.480 if we were wrong, it would be like we would 0:26:45.480 --> 0:26:47.040 be babysat for the rest of our lives. 0:26:48.040 --> 0:26:49.600 But plus you had a steady path after that. 0:26:49.680 --> 0:26:51.480 It's like, I'm still on this platform, so I'm gonna 0:26:51.480 --> 0:26:53.480 still be selling your ship and it's to go higher 0:26:53.520 --> 0:26:54.080 because I'm here. 0:26:54.119 --> 0:26:57.240 So, like I said, we became an r in that moment. 0:26:57.800 --> 0:27:00.200 I was like, give me my badge over that. 0:27:00.320 --> 0:27:02.159 After that, then they just left you guys alone, and 0:27:02.359 --> 0:27:02.760 I don't. 0:27:02.600 --> 0:27:04.600 Think I talked to another person in the regular label 0:27:04.880 --> 0:27:06.760 to this day. I love that. 0:27:07.720 --> 0:27:11.480 Okay, So I did want to ask you as a 0:27:11.640 --> 0:27:16.159 member of a band whose manager was kind of like 0:27:16.320 --> 0:27:21.560 our fifth beatle, Richard Nichols, like he was our Peter Grant, 0:27:22.119 --> 0:27:25.600 you know, our George Martin. That devastated us so much 0:27:25.680 --> 0:27:28.440 that we never made an album after, Like we're it's 0:27:28.560 --> 0:27:30.920 it's always ten years to make and one of the 0:27:30.960 --> 0:27:35.720 biggest fears was how do we even navigate without his 0:27:35.960 --> 0:27:40.720 presence to tell us things? How did you bounce back 0:27:40.800 --> 0:27:43.720 from from Jordan's passing away? Like, how did that affect 0:27:43.760 --> 0:27:44.120 the band? 0:27:45.359 --> 0:27:48.600 You know, it'll never be the same, I think, like 0:27:49.320 --> 0:27:53.120 for accepting that is important because when he passed away, 0:27:53.400 --> 0:27:55.560 First of all, it was super sudden, it was super tragic. 0:27:55.640 --> 0:27:57.760 He was too young, was so you know, still to 0:27:58.000 --> 0:27:59.640 every single band, not a day goes by I don't 0:27:59.680 --> 0:28:04.560 think about. And it was a crazy moment because he 0:28:04.760 --> 0:28:07.080 passed away all of a sudden, we were thrust into 0:28:07.080 --> 0:28:10.639 that whole Super Bowl nightmare, which couldn't have needed him 0:28:10.680 --> 0:28:13.720 more for anything than I did in that moment. Didn't 0:28:13.760 --> 0:28:17.720 have him twenty nineteen, Okay, so that all these things 0:28:17.840 --> 0:28:20.560 happened that I really needed him for. So yeah, Look, 0:28:20.880 --> 0:28:23.560 I thought we talked every day. Every single decision we 0:28:23.640 --> 0:28:26.280 made was was a joint decision. Nothing was decided alone. 0:28:26.600 --> 0:28:29.040 So I felt overwhelmed because I did make a lot 0:28:29.080 --> 0:28:32.560 of these decisions with him, right, So, and then we'd 0:28:32.600 --> 0:28:35.439 go to talk to the band and so shit, I mean, 0:28:35.880 --> 0:28:38.680 it's a hole that will never be filled. I think 0:28:38.920 --> 0:28:42.120 that I kind of thought to myself, Okay, we got 0:28:42.200 --> 0:28:44.400 to have a couple of big songs, because first of all, 0:28:44.880 --> 0:28:45.600 he lived. 0:28:45.400 --> 0:28:47.600 And died by if we could do that. 0:28:48.480 --> 0:28:51.520 It was almost like that's what kept me going, was like, Okay, 0:28:51.600 --> 0:28:54.640 I know what this dude wants, right, and you know, 0:28:54.680 --> 0:28:56.560 you get into the ethereal and the spiritual and all 0:28:56.560 --> 0:28:59.000 that stuff. But like I definitely felt like I knew 0:28:59.000 --> 0:29:01.320 what he would be saying right, Like whether I was 0:29:01.360 --> 0:29:03.560 telling myself that or not, it's still I could feel 0:29:03.600 --> 0:29:05.160 him all the time, and I kind of tried to 0:29:05.280 --> 0:29:07.560 let him because you know, we have great people, and 0:29:07.600 --> 0:29:10.400 you know, great people taking taking the reins. But of 0:29:10.480 --> 0:29:12.160 course it's never gonna be They all know it's never 0:29:12.200 --> 0:29:14.440 gonna be the same. And I just tried to like 0:29:14.600 --> 0:29:17.080 listen for him a little bit and just go, Okay, 0:29:17.720 --> 0:29:20.800 I could tell when he was angry, fucking laughing. I 0:29:20.880 --> 0:29:22.640 could tell when I could I could tell when I 0:29:22.680 --> 0:29:24.160 was about to make a decision that he would be 0:29:24.240 --> 0:29:26.360 pissed that I would make right, and just tried to 0:29:26.480 --> 0:29:28.600 like adhere to that a little bit. But I mean 0:29:28.760 --> 0:29:31.280 it's just and still, I mean it's it's not as 0:29:31.400 --> 0:29:33.560 heavy as it was in the beginning, but like, and 0:29:33.640 --> 0:29:34.920 I mean to do the super Bowl. I mean, no, 0:29:35.120 --> 0:29:37.120 no one really caught it. But this first thing I 0:29:37.200 --> 0:29:38.800 said on that mic was like this for you, Jordy, 0:29:38.880 --> 0:29:41.760 you know, the most exciting moment I think for me 0:29:42.160 --> 0:29:45.280 kind of post Jordan was surviving the super Bowl. But 0:29:45.360 --> 0:29:49.360 that's the whole fucking nightmare conversation. But it was it 0:29:49.480 --> 0:29:53.200 was like having a big, big, big memories girls like you, 0:29:53.360 --> 0:29:55.640 Like those were big songs and they were after Jordy, 0:29:56.160 --> 0:29:59.800 and so like that made me feel like like, can 0:30:00.160 --> 0:30:03.160 we can do a version of this like without him? 0:30:03.280 --> 0:30:05.280 But it also never feels like he was really gone. 0:30:05.320 --> 0:30:07.880 So until every night I play Memories, is like think 0:30:07.920 --> 0:30:11.320 about him every single time. So it's he's still around. 0:30:11.680 --> 0:30:14.520 He's still around. But yeah, it's it's it's impossible. It's 0:30:14.800 --> 0:30:15.440 impossible not. 0:30:15.560 --> 0:30:15.920 To have him. 0:30:16.400 --> 0:30:18.800 But it forces you to grow up and now, yeah. 0:30:18.640 --> 0:30:23.640 And take more accountability for the decisions, you know, make 0:30:23.680 --> 0:30:26.480 those decisions with confidence and grow up. You gotta grow 0:30:26.560 --> 0:30:28.800 up because he was he was my greatest I always say, 0:30:28.800 --> 0:30:30.920 he was like my protector, the dude I have my back. 0:30:31.280 --> 0:30:31.440 You know. 0:30:37.880 --> 0:30:48.560 Oh my god, I cannot believe we have winning. 0:30:48.720 --> 0:31:01.800 God I'm happy, isn't live. 0:31:05.560 --> 0:31:07.800 How the field to have these guys in your band? 0:31:07.840 --> 0:31:12.440 And please six grammys? 0:31:12.640 --> 0:31:13.920 These guys, these guys. 0:31:14.320 --> 0:31:19.160 Know the band we have eight?

Are you a nighttime person? 0:34:43.920 --> 0:34:45.080 First thing? In the morning person? 0:34:45.280 --> 0:34:49.920 Daytime like midday like I'm useless like after eight and 0:34:50.360 --> 0:34:52.440 and in the early early morning, like I need to 0:34:52.520 --> 0:34:54.920 do shit to like get my brain right, Like. 0:34:55.080 --> 0:34:56.200 What is your morning routine? 0:34:56.600 --> 0:35:00.239 Just like exercise, I have to exercise. I can't think, 0:35:00.600 --> 0:35:02.240 like I have to get out and run. 0:35:03.760 --> 0:35:04.600 Shout out to Austin. 0:35:07.719 --> 0:35:10.040 Yeah, it's exciting for me because I joined the band 0:35:10.600 --> 0:35:14.479 at a unique time, you know, be fourteen years in July. 0:35:16.040 --> 0:35:19.600 But I joined on the last album where it was 0:35:19.680 --> 0:35:22.840 like heavy heavy, like all band, right, the one you 0:35:22.920 --> 0:35:25.880 guys did in Switzerland. And then I always say pre 0:35:26.040 --> 0:35:28.480 moves like Jagger, post moves like Jagger. But then I 0:35:28.560 --> 0:35:31.120 think he just needed a break in a way, like 0:35:31.280 --> 0:35:33.600 just a brain break. And it took years, I think 0:35:33.680 --> 0:35:36.120 from all of that, I mean eighth grade, you know, 0:35:36.320 --> 0:35:38.719 being a band, all of that, and to see him 0:35:38.800 --> 0:35:40.000 now I hadn't. 0:35:40.120 --> 0:35:41.800 This is like vintage Adam. 0:35:41.880 --> 0:35:45.680 He's like excited like a kid, like sending me records 0:35:45.880 --> 0:35:49.120 every other day, like and they're good and they sound 0:35:49.280 --> 0:35:51.799 like him, and it's like I tried to give him one. 0:35:51.880 --> 0:35:52.040 You know. 0:35:52.160 --> 0:35:53.880 Some of my boys be like yo, man, slide this, 0:35:55.640 --> 0:35:57.160 I said him. He was like, bro, I just gotta 0:35:57.200 --> 0:35:59.919 I gotta do it myself, you know. And I told 0:36:00.280 --> 0:36:02.040 understand that. So I'm just I'm excited. 0:36:02.160 --> 0:36:04.279 It's the opposite for this era. It's the opposite it 0:36:04.400 --> 0:36:04.640 used to be. 0:36:05.320 --> 0:36:07.040 For a minute, I felt like the security blanket of 0:36:07.080 --> 0:36:09.560 like if the ideas came from elsewhere, that I wouldn't 0:36:09.600 --> 0:36:13.000 have the pressure of creating them. And that's addictive, especially 0:36:13.040 --> 0:36:15.279 when you have some success with it, because you're like, Okay, fuck, 0:36:15.360 --> 0:36:18.919 this formula works. And then very very recently with people, 0:36:19.000 --> 0:36:21.279 I don't know what's going on. This is a whole 0:36:21.360 --> 0:36:25.880 other sidebar. But music is crazy, like I don't know, 0:36:26.040 --> 0:36:27.840 I have lost and maybe I'm old. I don't know 0:36:27.920 --> 0:36:31.080 what's going on, but like shit is sideways so much, 0:36:31.280 --> 0:36:36.080 I don't know what's happening. So I started getting ideas 0:36:36.080 --> 0:36:38.440 as usual, but like every idea was one idea was 0:36:38.440 --> 0:36:40.080 worse than the next. I'm like, I can do better 0:36:40.239 --> 0:36:42.760 than this. So I think that was a very organic 0:36:42.960 --> 0:36:46.440 like way to come to that conclusion. It wasn't like yeah, because. 0:36:46.200 --> 0:36:48.719 You were cool with the other I mean, like you're curating, 0:36:48.840 --> 0:36:50.719 you know, you would fix these lyrics to make it 0:36:50.840 --> 0:36:51.719 fit fit us. 0:36:51.880 --> 0:36:54.040 But like now it's like now I can't even hear 0:36:54.080 --> 0:36:56.080 I don't want to hear other stuff. I'm not interested 0:36:56.440 --> 0:36:58.279 like I used to only be interested in that. 0:36:59.239 --> 0:37:01.200 But I hope I'm not asking this this. This is 0:37:01.200 --> 0:37:01.719 a dumb question. 0:37:01.800 --> 0:37:03.640 And y'all have already done this because I know that PJA, 0:37:03.719 --> 0:37:06.080 you do background vocals and stuff, But have y'all. 0:37:05.960 --> 0:37:07.960 Ever have y'all done anything together yet? 0:37:09.640 --> 0:37:10.440 Well, even written. 0:37:10.680 --> 0:37:12.160 You need to come by the way, like I know, 0:37:12.320 --> 0:37:15.799 I know, we talked about it. Look it's crazy to say. 0:37:15.920 --> 0:37:17.520 I mean, I've been in this band a long time. 0:37:18.680 --> 0:37:20.120 I'd be super busy when. 0:37:19.960 --> 0:37:20.959 I'm not the band. 0:37:23.880 --> 0:37:27.160 He's locked in so much now I'm like, man, why 0:37:27.280 --> 0:37:29.759 you wait till I just like fill in every gap 0:37:29.880 --> 0:37:30.840 that we have, you know. 0:37:31.200 --> 0:37:34.400 But I'm like, I need parts of this, like what 0:37:34.520 --> 0:37:35.359 he's doing right now. 0:37:35.719 --> 0:37:37.360 I'm trying to trying to get in. I sent a 0:37:37.400 --> 0:37:39.560 couple of tracks, but he's just moved. I'm talking about 0:37:39.640 --> 0:37:41.399 like three songs a day type vibe. 0:37:41.560 --> 0:37:42.640 That's what he's on right now. 0:37:43.040 --> 0:37:45.200 But I've only written one song with the band, and 0:37:45.280 --> 0:37:48.960 it was because it was an experiment. Twenty four hours 0:37:50.320 --> 0:37:53.160 to not remember. I know, bro, we had to create 0:37:53.239 --> 0:37:55.520 a song in twenty four hours in front of the 0:37:55.600 --> 0:37:59.320 world watching this was early like live stream. 0:38:00.239 --> 0:38:03.920 Just put a camera side this, yeah, straight. 0:38:03.680 --> 0:38:06.640 Up and then you say and there were comment it's 0:38:06.680 --> 0:38:06.880 on you. 0:38:07.000 --> 0:38:09.560 So you see the America go to sleep and then 0:38:09.600 --> 0:38:11.960 you see Asia wake up and they're all commenting like 0:38:12.040 --> 0:38:12.919 we love this part. 0:38:13.440 --> 0:38:15.560 And it's like he took a nap and I was like, 0:38:16.040 --> 0:38:17.920 we need to they have to watch the take a bridge. 0:38:18.320 --> 0:38:20.640 He went to the other room. It was and I 0:38:20.760 --> 0:38:23.120 wrote the bridge was all night. It was twenty four hours. 0:38:23.160 --> 0:38:23.320 It was. 0:38:23.480 --> 0:38:28.200 It was kind of like torture, like this experience literally torture. 0:38:28.480 --> 0:38:30.160 Know that twenty four is a little different. 0:38:30.160 --> 0:38:32.799 Well now now now I feel like right now we'd 0:38:32.840 --> 0:38:36.120 be out in like three hours, it's done. 0:38:36.400 --> 0:38:37.719 But back then it was like weird. 0:38:37.800 --> 0:38:40.520 I think the general rule for me, if we're still 0:38:41.200 --> 0:38:44.520 harping on an idea after twenty minutes, then it's time 0:38:44.600 --> 0:38:46.480 to lock it down and do it or go to 0:38:46.560 --> 0:38:47.040 the next door. 0:38:47.160 --> 0:38:49.319 It's gotta be in an instant. It's gotta be it's there. 0:38:49.440 --> 0:38:51.960 If it's not there, it's not there, I. 0:38:51.960 --> 0:38:53.399 Don't work it. If it's work. It's work. 0:38:53.600 --> 0:38:54.960 You don't write music, so you. 0:38:55.000 --> 0:38:55.920 Just get so stuck. 0:38:56.040 --> 0:38:58.640 I know you guys don't like that idea, but I 0:38:59.680 --> 0:39:03.439 now I now want to creatively explore that idea as 0:39:03.600 --> 0:39:04.160 a project. 0:39:04.200 --> 0:39:06.279 The twenty four though, but you don't. You don't like 0:39:06.360 --> 0:39:07.120 the pressure. 0:39:07.239 --> 0:39:10.600 I don't remember it because it was trauma. I mean, like, yeah, 0:39:10.680 --> 0:39:13.640 you you you don't want people to watch you were eighteen. 0:39:13.840 --> 0:39:17.359 You're like, okay, look there's a world where I could 0:39:17.360 --> 0:39:19.960 see it's it's like and I can see your wheels 0:39:19.960 --> 0:39:21.640 turning about it because you're like this sounds kind of dope. 0:39:21.680 --> 0:39:23.480 Like yeah, I'm like documenting right now. 0:39:23.680 --> 0:39:24.399 Yeah, you get in there. 0:39:24.400 --> 0:39:26.720 I write a platform that will I like the Compact 0:39:26.800 --> 0:39:30.120 Time I just did out in thirty days in Africa, 0:39:30.280 --> 0:39:30.880 So I like that. 0:39:31.560 --> 0:39:33.640 But the twenty four, like, I like sleep. 0:39:33.840 --> 0:39:34.439 You know what I'm saying. 0:39:34.880 --> 0:39:37.640 People watch you have to like watch it. 0:39:37.920 --> 0:39:40.520 Why It's like, I just think to observe a process 0:39:40.640 --> 0:39:43.160 is to change it, Like you're not really if you're 0:39:43.200 --> 0:39:46.160 watching me create now I'm conscious that you're watching me. 0:39:46.239 --> 0:39:48.759 So now, even a documentary I remember because they came 0:39:48.800 --> 0:39:50.360 to shoot us like a couple of weeks ago, and 0:39:50.440 --> 0:39:52.320 I was like it was me.
