00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:22,439
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you. I don't know if you heard

8
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:24,119
Speaker 1: it or not, but if you did, you know it

9
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 1: was great. Pete fill in for American Top forty. That's

10
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 1: posting counting him down the big hits across the land.

11
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:33,480
Speaker 1: Great job, man, Thank you for doing that.

12
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 2: Thanks for having me man, just trying to you know,

13
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 2: I don't know live a small part of the fantasy.

14
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 1: But when you played, so when you're playing all of

15
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 1: the songs that are on the chart, and you probably

16
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:47,480
Speaker 1: mean you probably know who wrote a lot of the songs,

17
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 1: You know a lot of the artists. Is it a

18
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: weird dynamic that you're playing the songs and you have

19
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: the inside scoop on a lot of stuff.

20
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 2: No, I think it's kind of cool because I feel

21
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 2: like you probably have the inside scoop as well, so

22
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 2: like it's cool to see it from the other side

23
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 2: and to just like you're rooting for it all and

24
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 2: to see you know what I mean, Like, I think

25
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 2: it's actually very cool.

26
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: So what's really cool is what you have accomplished here

27
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 1: with a Billy Joel like global classic song that was

28
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: originally done and you did this updated version of We

29
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: just played it. We didn't start the fire. Let me

30
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: for those who are not familiar with the sound of

31
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: the original song, which was talking about you know, events

32
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 1: over a period of time. Here it is. Take a listen.

33
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 1: I remember when I was a kid, the only lyric

34
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 1: I could get right was Joe DiMaggio because hard to

35
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: keep up with the lyrics. Here's what we played the

36
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: whole thing. But here's a little taste. You just joined

37
00:01:49,680 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: this of how many years did you cover there?

38
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 2: We did, so he is original I think was nineteen

39
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 2: forty nine to nineteen eighty nine, and we did nineteen

40
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 2: eighty nine to twenty twenty three.

41
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: How do you curate and edit what the story's going

42
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: to be?

43
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 2: I mean, it's tough, right because there's so much stuff,

44
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 2: and the brilliance of the original is there's a couple

45
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 2: of a bunch of the things were big at the

46
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 2: time but are kind of like lost to history, you know,

47
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 2: and so listen, there's some like big omissions on ours

48
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 2: as well, like you know, like COVID doesn't get mentioned.

49
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 2: We like had a version, we kind of did it,

50
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 2: and then it just felt like, I don't know, this

51
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 2: is like this giant thing that's like felt through all

52
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 2: the other events, you know, or through a lot of

53
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 2: the other events. So you know, Michael Jordan gets too.

54
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: He gets too shut up, you know.

55
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, So you know, like we tried to think of

56
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 2: stuff that was globally bigger and bigger than ourselves, but

57
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 2: also like little things that will probably be forgotten.

58
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: And Billy Joel, how did that connection go? Did he

59
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: did you share it with him before? After? During? Like

60
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: what was the like?

61
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 2: So I don't I don't. I don't have like a

62
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 2: direct line to Billy, but we we definitely send it

63
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 2: to his people and we didn't hear anything negative on it.

64
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 2: And then I seen him do an interview where he

65
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 2: was like, people are always asking me to update it,

66
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 2: and so I just decided to let or He's like,

67
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 2: I just would rather go with the fallow up boy updates.

68
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 2: So that was a really nice thing to say.

69
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: Can you take us I want to understand someth me

70
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: are you allowed to just do that or is it

71
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: to be some sort of approval?

72
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 3: Good question.

73
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 2: Well, so you can cover uh, you can cover anything,

74
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 2: stampling that there there needs to be an approval. But

75
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 2: I believe you can like kind of cover anything. But

76
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 2: for me, if we were covering something and then someone

77
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 2: that now you know and obviously you you uh credit

78
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 2: the original songwriters and you know whatnot, but like if

79
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 2: someone was like, I don't love it, I don't want

80
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 2: you to do it, Like I think we would take

81
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 2: the weird al weird al stance where we just didn't

82
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,239
Speaker 2: do it, you know, like I just yeah, I wouldn't

83
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 2: want any bad kind of blood or bad it. You know,

84
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 2: it's not worth it.

85
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: You know it's not worth it. No fall off boys,

86
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,000

Speaker 1: of lyrics that I could apply to your remix. Yeah, yeah,

102
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: just thought it was so cool when I read that

103
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: she said that you're one of her favorite lyricists. What

104
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 1: did that feel like for you?

105
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 2: I mean it's pretty crazy, you know, Like I you know,

106
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 2: I have a five year old daughter, and like that's

107
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 2: the most credit I could ever get, you know what

108
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 2: I mean, Like I think, you know, and I mean

109
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 2: across the spectrum, you know, like I have a tennis

110
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 2: coach who's who who's you know, an adult male or whatever,

111
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 2: you know obviously, and he, you know, was like, oh

112
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,160

Speaker 1: It's a nice it's a nice badge of honor, isn't it.

114
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's pretty wild, pretty awesome.

115
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 1: Do you find writing songs to be a natural, seamless

116
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 1: flow for you?

117
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 2: Sometimes sometimes it just like goes and it's so easy

118
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 2: and then other times it feels like it will not come,

119
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:10,200
