Enough 0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:22.400 of me talking. I can't. 0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:24.119 I've heard the album. 0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:32.440 It's it's amazing, all right, Fellas, Dave Fellas. 0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:37.920 Maybe I will be prefered the food fighter. 0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:56.320 Okay, all right, all right, yeah, okh oh oh boy. 0:01:56.800 --> 0:02:00.600 Well, first of all, thank you guys for still making 0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:11.240 rock and making great rock. Like when does it become 0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:15.440 time to make another album? How do you figure that out? 0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:21.160 I don't know. I think it's it's kind of it 0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:24.640 whatever it feels, right. We're not I mean, we're not 0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:27.120 really on any sort of schedule. It's funny. We are 0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:30.360 sort of consistent in that it's about every three years, 0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:33.920 but the same thing happens every time, where we'll go 0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:36.080 in and we'll make a record and we'll spend a 0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:38.880 couple of months working on it, and then once we're done, 0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:42.000 we tour for maybe a year and a half or 0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:45.000 something like that. And then once we're done with the tour, 0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:49.760 we swear that we'll never fucking do it again, and 0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:52.960 that we're gonna go home and take a big long break. 0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:56.120 And we take a break, and within I don't know, 0:02:56.200 --> 0:02:59.800 a few months, we just start sort of writing. 0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:01.000 And sending to each other. 0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:07.200 And then I think once once the songs really start 0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:10.799 taking shape or the concept starts taking shape, if you've 0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:13.080 done a bunch of demos and then you find this 0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:16.519 place in all of those demos that makes sense. Then 0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:19.440 once you feel that or really see it, you're like, Okay, 0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:20.440 now we know what we're gonna do. 0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:21.440 Let's go in and do it. 0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:23.720 And then we try to this one we did really quickly, 0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:26.120 so but I think it's just a gut feeling, like 0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:26.480 you just. 0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:29.160 Know how many songs we're in the running for the 0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:32.560 album A lot. He's pretty prolific. 0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:35.880 There's like twenty five, so you can't get a touch. 0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:36.640 There was one song. 0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:41.080 Yeah, it's weird because we also have a funny way 0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:44.400 of doing it where I'll come up with ideas. I 0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:46.640 have a little studio above my garage in my house, 0:03:46.680 --> 0:03:49.520 and we'll come up with ideas and I'll come up 0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:51.280 with some sort of melodic idea, and then I send 0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:54.280 it to everybody and I basically say like, am I 0:03:54.320 --> 0:03:57.840 fucking crazy? Or is this any good? And so it 0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:02.720 starts with this big swarm of instrumentals and just kind 0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:08.080 of like weird compositions, and then it kind of turns 0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:12.000 into something really specific and cohesive. You know, everyone touches 0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:16.280 it makes its way around and everyone touches the song. 0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:25.200 It's just a caress, yeah, a little cuddle. Yeah. 0:04:25.200 --> 0:04:27.240 I mean, it's funny like if you record something by 0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:30.960 yourself the way that you know, all of us have 0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:33.640 other side projects and stuff where we record. 0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:34.400 Things sort of on our own. 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:37.880 When you record something totally on your own, it's really 0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:40.960 just that your one sort of vision or perspective or 0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:43.159 your one way to do it. But if you give 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:45.960 the song to everybody and everyone grabs a hold of 0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:48.720 their side and pulls it in their own direction, it 0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:51.400 kind of makes it. Then it sounds like the band. 0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:55.039 Then that sort of widens the concept or the sound 0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:57.719 of the song. And so it's just it sounds better 0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:01.880 when we're all doing stuff together, songs together. Then a demo. 0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:04.200 A demo is just kind of a silly idea. 0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:07.840 So you really bury the lead earlier, like, Yeah, we'll 0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:10.200 go on tour for a year and a half. That's 0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:16.080 a fucking long time taking for fun? Does everyone think 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:17.400 it's fun tour? 0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:23.000 We take breaks in between a month here, a couple 0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:25.080 of weeks off, a couple of months. 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:28.840 On, so we don't burn out. Yeah, just so you 0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:29.640 can go to Mexico. 0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:34.080 Go to Mexico, catch some waves, come back to. 0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:41.800 Tour, all right, Are you feeling that the dynamic here. 0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:43.920 I'm feeling it. 0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:48.040 Yeah, I mean basically, it's you know, thirty years ago, 0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:49.880 when we first started touring, it was like we do 0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:51.840 seven shows and then have a day off, and then 0:05:51.880 --> 0:05:54.320 do six shows and have a day off, and you know, 0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:57.279 those are the early years, the van years, those are 0:05:57.279 --> 0:06:01.279 early tours. Now it's like, you know, we go out 0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:03.799 for a few weeks, we come home for a few weeks, 0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:05.800 we go out for a month, we come home for 0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:09.719 a little bit, and so I think we've we've learned 0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:12.680 how to make it last longer by not hitting it 0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:13.800 as hard as we used to. 0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:16.719 Yeah, yeah, yeah, I can't hit as hard as I 0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:21.040 used to either. I want to hear the first cut 0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:23.360 of your record, but I want to talk to you 0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:26.760 about the first tour you guys went on with Mike Watt. 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:31.320 I love Mike. All right, all right, teenagers, let's listen 0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:34.800 to the opening track from Your Favorite Toy. Here's Caught 0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:47.680 in the Echo. That was Caught in the Echo off 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:50.440 the Food Fighters, their new album, Your Favorite Toy. My 0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:55.000 name's Johnny Knoxville. You can really feel the base in 0:06:55.040 --> 0:07:01.400 these chairs. I can't say that I'm not aroused. Wow, 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:04.640 And you know we're gonna play the whole album tonight 0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:05.039 and that. 0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:09.359 Well, it's funny because, I mean, all we've been doing 0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:12.600 every day is rehearsing for like six hours a day 0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:15.240 because we're about to jump into the next phase of like, 0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:17.480 you know, going to bad shows and stuff like that. 0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:20.480 And so when the song kicked in, I was like, God, 0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:24.360 this sounds so much different than my truck. So but 0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:27.760 like a song like that in particular, after we've recorded 0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:30.119 it and we're getting ready to go play it live, 0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:34.200 we're really focused on on specific parts of the song. 0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:35.880 I mean, we were just we're. 0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:38.040 Like, okay, everybody listen to the build. Because we've been 0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:40.600 working on the build the last couple of days. We're like, okay, 0:07:40.640 --> 0:07:43.080 so you should do that part, and then Pat, you 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:45.800 should do the thing, and then and so it's kind 0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:49.400 of it's it's nice to hear it on different speakers 0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:51.240 to see is. 0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:54.320 The build you've been rehearsing the same or is it 0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:55.800 I suppose. 0:07:56.280 --> 0:08:00.360 It could be better. We can make it better. It has. 0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:03.080 Six hours. You guys are disciplined. 0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:10.080 Well, he didn't say we're playing for six hours. 0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:14.520 You're talking to a guy that was the nine inch 0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:17.720 nails for twenty years. Like we're one of the least 0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:18.960 disciplined bands in the world. 0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:21.960 Usually what happened is, well, like only six hours. 0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:25.080 Yeah, Square Bull rehearse for maybe about twenty minutes, and 0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:28.440 like we should order lunch and then we just sit 0:08:28.520 --> 0:08:30.440 around and we talk for half an hour. We get 0:08:30.480 --> 0:08:33.000 stuff done, but you know, it's kind of loose in 0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:33.440 this band. 0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:37.199 Yeah, you guys are doing okay. Thanks.

Oh you actually got one? Where'd 0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:15.199 you get yours? At Ralph? 0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:16.360 Yes? 0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:19.680 Shot the moon as you got it in the in 0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:22.080 the charcoal section, right, Yeah, yeah, I got to write 0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:23.680 there totally. 0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:24.079 Yeah. 0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:29.920 The funniest was the worst part was I felt like 0:09:30.080 --> 0:09:33.840 I thought I was going to get arrested because I 0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:37.280 just looked so suspicious because I didn't want anyone to see. 0:09:37.559 --> 0:09:38.960 And I'd walk in there and it would be in 0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:40.880 my pocket and I'm looking around to see if there's 0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:44.560 cameras watch it. And then I'd walk in with nothing 0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:46.760 and then take it out of my pocket and kind 0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:49.800 of like at ikea Ike was the best. I was 0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:52.920 walking around from showroom to showroom, just like, no, I 0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:55.199 don't like that showroom. Oh look at that couch, We 0:09:55.400 --> 0:09:57.200 look at that bookshelf, and then I put it in 0:09:57.240 --> 0:09:59.480 and like run out as fast as I could. You 0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:02.240 were verse. I actually raps was the only place where 0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:05.200 I got spied by a security guy. He was like, 0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:09.800 the fuck are you doing in the charcoil? Yes, but 0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:12.600 it was just fun. It's not unlike when like when 0:10:12.600 --> 0:10:15.600 I recorded the first Food Fighters record, did it super quick? 0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:17.559 Did it a studio down the street from my house, 0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:21.080 and I made a hundred cassettes and it wasn't a 0:10:21.080 --> 0:10:24.560 band yet, and there was no record or record company 0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:25.120 or anything. 0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:28.000 And I had this box of cassettes in the back 0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:28.600 of my truck. 0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:31.240 And there would be sometimes where people would say, like 0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:33.720 at a gas station once, this guy's like, whoa dude? 0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:35.760 You know? I was a fan of Nirvana. What are 0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:37.720 you doing now? And I'm like, oh, hold on. 0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:39.160 I go to the back of my truck and I'm like, 0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:41.200 check it out, and I give him a cassette. And 0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:45.400 there's something about that that is not unlike the early days, 0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:48.840 like the early food Fighters days, or the Watt tour days, 0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:50.280 the first tour and stuff like that. 0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:56.320 It's just fun. And for Mike Watt, you played, you 0:10:56.360 --> 0:11:00.319 did your set, and then you played in this band after. Yeah. 0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:03.840 So Mike Watt, legendary bass player, was in a band 0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:08.640 called the Minuteman and a hero to everybody, and he 0:11:08.679 --> 0:11:10.480 made a record where he had a bunch of different 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:11.800 people play on it. 0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:13.480 It was like ninety four. 0:11:13.720 --> 0:11:16.640 I think Pat was on a song and he asked 0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:19.760 if I would play drums on one of the songs, 0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:22.960 and I did, and Eddie Vedder was on a few 0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:25.240 of the songs or on that song, and then he 0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:27.079 wanted to go on tour, so he asked if I 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:30.720 would play drums and have Eddie Vedder play guitar and 0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:33.640 have Watt play bass and sing, and so I was 0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:36.240 and we had we were a band at that point, 0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:39.880 but we hadn't toured. And I said yes, I'll do it, 0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:43.200 but can my new band open up for you? And 0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:45.960 he said yes, And then Eddie had a side project 0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:50.480 called Hovercraft, and so Eddie's side project would play first 0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:52.800 and then the Foods would play. But then we were 0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:55.480 all in his band. We were all in Watt's band. 0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:59.200 And that was the intense tour, which was like eight 0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:01.960 days on one day off, eight days on one day off. 0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:05.720 There were some days where I mean he toured like 0:12:05.760 --> 0:12:07.800 super old school punk rock stuff. Yeah. There were some 0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:12.040 days where there'd be two states in the same day 0:12:13.080 --> 0:12:14.760 and I'd be like, what what are you There's. 0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:17.280 Like two shows and there's two different states, and. 0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:19.120 He said, well, you know, some states are really close 0:12:19.160 --> 0:12:19.680 to each other. 0:12:22.480 --> 0:12:25.120 That really lit me up that you guys played with him, 0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:27.400 and I just I love them. I mean, we use 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:31.640 Corona as our theme song. But oh yeah, that's right. Yeah, 0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:33.000 so he. 0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:35.200 Means a lot to me too, and it's an amazing dude. 0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:35.559 Yeah. 0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:38.320 Yeah, And that was the perfect way to begin for 0:12:38.440 --> 0:12:42.360 us too, because you know, we come from we come 0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:45.080 from that punk rock scene and those van tours, and 0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:48.160 it felt like that's how you do it, you know. 0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:52.240 The first what's his book? Our band could be your life. 0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:54.120 I think Mike Watt's book. 0:12:54.360 --> 0:12:56.920 Yeah, well you know the other Wait, what was the 0:12:57.360 --> 0:13:00.320 what was the Rolins book? Rollins had this. It was 0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:01.240 called Get in the Van? 0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:05.400 Do you know about that had? 0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:08.840 Like we had the book on tape and we were 0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:11.640 listening to Rollin's Getting the Van while we were in 0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:13.800 the fucking van, and I was like, turn this fucking 0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:14.440 ship off. 0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:22.240 My god, oh man, let's listen to another song. Wow, 0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:28.400 all right, the second song. All right, the second song 0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:32.680 here is of all People buy the Food Fighters on 0:13:32.960 --> 0:13:43.040 iHeart Radio.

Man, 0:13:48.040 --> 0:13:49.439 you were getting it in that song. 0:13:50.559 --> 0:13:53.000 We were getting it. You were getting you were fucking 0:13:53.080 --> 0:13:54.120 getting it man. 0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:56.640 And pop solo. 0:13:56.720 --> 0:13:58.480 You gotta give you gotta give the shout out to 0:13:58.480 --> 0:13:59.040 Pap the So. 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:05.800 Well, Okay, here's the funny thing. So since we recorded 0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:08.840 this and it's like my office, it's above my garage 0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:11.960 in my house six oh six. No, that's our actual 0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:14.200 That studio was like this big. That studio is a 0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:17.480 big studio. This one we did like in my house 0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:20.320 in this room. That's not big enough to have all 0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:23.080 of us in it at the same time. So it's 0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:25.280 like you wake up in the morning. This song, in particular, 0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:29.200 I wrote it the night before and I'm like, hey, 0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:29.640 I got. 0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:29.920 A new song. 0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:32.800 Heyl, can you be here at ten o'clock? He's like sure, 0:14:32.880 --> 0:14:35.320 And the night's end of the thing. No, I didn't. 0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:36.880 There wasn't even a demo or anything. 0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:42.200 I got so many songs to learn at seven am 0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:44.800 when I was barely having a functioning brain that I 0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:48.120 don't remember when it happened, but it's always struggling to 0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:49.840 get coffee, and then a text from Dave, Hey, what 0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:50.160 are you doing? 0:14:50.240 --> 0:14:54.080 Later he wakes up feeling good. I don't think he 0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:54.640 ever goes to. 0:14:54.600 --> 0:15:00.440 Sleep up before the sun. But So and I would 0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:03.680 track live together and get an awesome live take and 0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:05.760 then start calling everybody like, hey, could you be here 0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:08.360 at noon? Okay, So if you're here at noon, then 0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:10.520 the next person has to come at three because we 0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:13.720 literally can't fit in the it's the same room. And 0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:16.400 so when Pat was there, we were like, hey, Pat, 0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:19.400 do a guitar solo. And I had to go and like, 0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:22.240 I don't know, clean up the kitchen or something. Downstairs 0:15:22.520 --> 0:15:24.600 and I come back and I'm like, how the solo go? 0:15:25.320 --> 0:15:26.200 And they play it back. 0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:26.800 And it's just going. 0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:35.520 I want to keep it one note and it works. 0:15:34.960 --> 0:15:36.800 And then Chris has a response. 0:15:36.840 --> 0:15:43.280 He goes, it's like, you know, Beethoven, mission accomplished, mission accomplished. 0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:48.600 Oh my god. So you've been making music for thirty 0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:51.520 one years and I just want to know, Nate, how 0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:55.000 do you do it? How do you do it? Yeah? 0:15:56.040 --> 0:16:00.800 Thirty one years in the same Yeah, in the same band. Uh. Well, 0:16:00.880 --> 0:16:03.920 it's it's fun that helps, you know what I mean. 0:16:03.960 --> 0:16:05.600 It's like, yeah, it's it's not a thing where you 0:16:05.640 --> 0:16:08.160 feel like you have to have to do it. Like 0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:11.360 we still like getting in a room and making music, 0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:14.480 just like when I was like seventeen, So I never 0:16:14.520 --> 0:16:16.680 think about it like that, like, oh boy, I. 0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:19.080 Got to make another record, right, you know. It's still 0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:21.400 like it's uncommon though for a band. 0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:24.200 Well it is, and we've been We've been fortunate enough 0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:26.280 to like build fans over the years, so people come 0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:28.600 see it and allow us to continue to do this thing, 0:16:28.600 --> 0:16:29.680 which is a real privilege. 0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:34.200 Yeah. And the thing that lit you up when this 0:16:34.360 --> 0:16:37.080 is for anyone that lit you up when you first 0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:41.080 wanted to get into music. Does that still light you 0:16:41.240 --> 0:16:43.200 up today? It does for me. 0:16:43.320 --> 0:16:47.560 I know that with that feeling like when you're young 0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:52.920 and you get you get an instrument, and it becomes. 0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:54.320 Sort of everything. 0:16:54.920 --> 0:16:58.360 Right, So you get your first guitar and you get 0:16:58.360 --> 0:17:01.280 your little hands figure out how to make chords and stuff, 0:17:01.680 --> 0:17:03.560 and then you hear songs and maybe you have a 0:17:03.560 --> 0:17:07.919 songbook and you play along to your records and it 0:17:08.080 --> 0:17:12.200 just becomes like it's almost a puzzle, and then it's 0:17:12.200 --> 0:17:15.399 hard to turn off, like the challenge of getting to 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:18.320 the next step. I mean, it's not unlike kids these 0:17:18.400 --> 0:17:21.239 days with video games. It's sort of like, you know, 0:17:21.280 --> 0:17:23.600 you just want to level up right every time, and 0:17:23.640 --> 0:17:26.440 you're just you're sort of pushing and learning something new 0:17:26.480 --> 0:17:29.440 every time. And plus it's just such a beautiful extension 0:17:29.640 --> 0:17:32.919 of like your soul and your emotions, and it becomes 0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:33.440 an outlet. 0:17:33.560 --> 0:17:35.120 It becomes your best. 0:17:34.880 --> 0:17:37.800 Friend, and then it's like, you know, it's the fucking 0:17:37.840 --> 0:17:41.520 coolest thing in the world. Yeah, I think most musicians 0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:44.960 feel the same way. That it's not It's not something 0:17:45.000 --> 0:17:47.880 that I would bump into people from high school that 0:17:48.000 --> 0:17:51.199 I played in garage bands with and I'd say, like, 0:17:51.440 --> 0:17:53.160 are you still You're still playing the drums? 0:17:53.760 --> 0:17:56.000 Like, no, I gave that up? Like how the fuck 0:17:56.040 --> 0:18:00.399 do you give that up? That's crazy? Yeah, it was 0:18:00.440 --> 0:18:04.720 never meant to be for them. No, Like you can't 0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:08.240 give you know it's in you. You can't just kind 0:18:08.280 --> 0:18:10.520 of kind of do it. Yeah, I gotta do it. 0:18:11.640 --> 0:18:13.399 Plus, when you listen to music that you love, it 0:18:13.480 --> 0:18:16.200 makes you want to play as well. So it's it's 0:18:16.200 --> 0:18:18.680 impossible to not want to keep getting in that zone 0:18:18.680 --> 0:18:21.680 where you're inspired, you're having fun, and then that just 0:18:21.760 --> 0:18:24.600 kind of progresses into creating, and then it just becomes 0:18:24.600 --> 0:18:25.479 this this cycle. 0:18:26.560 --> 0:18:30.200 Pat, who were you playing when you were learning? Who 0:18:30.240 --> 0:18:31.080 were you trying to? 0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:37.840 I was punching over my way as they say, And 0:18:38.640 --> 0:18:41.439 I love Steve Howe from Yes, and I wanted to 0:18:41.440 --> 0:18:44.280 be like that. But right, you know, I've been learning 0:18:44.280 --> 0:18:45.879 a bit of a piece, a bit of this, a 0:18:45.880 --> 0:18:46.680 bit of that. 0:18:47.960 --> 0:18:50.600 And just all the guitar players in the seventies. I 0:18:50.640 --> 0:18:54.400 love them all. And that's awesome. Let's hear another two. 0:18:55.280 --> 0:18:55.720 All right? 0:18:56.920 --> 0:19:31.919 Here we go with Window by the Foo Fighters. My 0:19:32.040 --> 0:19:34.280 name is Jehanna and I so that was Window by 0:19:34.280 --> 0:19:39.680 the Foo Fighters off their album Your Favorite Toy. We're 0:19:39.720 --> 0:19:44.200 listening to it first here tonight, and oh man, they 0:19:44.400 --> 0:19:47.119 Harper sang on this your daughter Harper sang on not 0:19:47.320 --> 0:19:48.639 this cut, but one of the cuts. 0:19:48.680 --> 0:19:50.880 Well, you know the funny thing about that song window. 0:19:51.359 --> 0:19:55.960 So my daughter Harper, she she plays guitar, bass and 0:19:56.040 --> 0:19:56.760 drums and stuff, but. 0:19:56.760 --> 0:19:58.359 She was just getting into the basis. He plays a 0:19:58.359 --> 0:19:58.639 bunch of. 0:20:00.560 --> 0:20:03.400 And so she she's painter, and she's an artist and sculptor, 0:20:03.600 --> 0:20:06.240 the whole deal. She's a cook, she's a great cook. 0:20:07.280 --> 0:20:10.760 I could go on and on, but so, so she 0:20:10.920 --> 0:20:13.879 loves the Breeders, She's got great taste of music. She 0:20:13.920 --> 0:20:16.160 loves the Breeders, she loves sonic cues, she loves wean, 0:20:16.440 --> 0:20:17.960 she loves a bunch of stuff. 0:20:17.960 --> 0:20:18.760 But so. 0:20:20.800 --> 0:20:24.840 I had written this funny riff, that dude sort of thing, 0:20:25.080 --> 0:20:28.080 and I thought like, I said, hey, will you help 0:20:28.119 --> 0:20:30.560 me do a demo? I want you to play bass 0:20:30.560 --> 0:20:33.200 on this demo. And so we went upstairs. I put 0:20:33.200 --> 0:20:35.080 down the drums and she put the bass on it instead. 0:20:35.359 --> 0:20:37.240 And to me, it was like, Yeah, it's probably not 0:20:37.240 --> 0:20:38.840 going to be a song that's going to wind up 0:20:38.840 --> 0:20:41.200 on the record. It's just a fun thing for Harpernett 0:20:41.240 --> 0:20:44.920 to do, and then over time I thought like, why 0:20:45.080 --> 0:20:47.000 funk not, Like, it's kind of a fun little riff, 0:20:47.119 --> 0:20:50.800 Let's go for it. And it turned into like one 0:20:50.800 --> 0:20:53.840 of my favorite songs on the whole record. It's kind 0:20:53.840 --> 0:20:55.760 of the one moment on the record where it's not 0:20:55.920 --> 0:20:59.199 just going like this. You'll see there's a lot more 0:20:59.240 --> 0:21:02.800 of that, but but yeah, So there, I had this 0:21:02.880 --> 0:21:06.040 idea for the song your Favorite Toy, that there be 0:21:06.119 --> 0:21:10.600 this like Nana Na part and in the song, and 0:21:10.680 --> 0:21:15.840 so I thought I would have Harper and my oldest 0:21:15.920 --> 0:21:20.280 daughter Violet saying that Nana Na parts, but nobody was 0:21:20.359 --> 0:21:23.080 ever like in the house at the same time. And 0:21:23.160 --> 0:21:25.040 so there was one day where Harper was with their 0:21:25.080 --> 0:21:27.000 friend and they were going out to the antique mall 0:21:27.119 --> 0:21:29.440 or something, and I ran downstairs. I was like, wait, wait, 0:21:30.320 --> 0:21:32.160 all you gotta do is come up here and go nanaa. 0:21:32.920 --> 0:21:35.560 And so the Nana nas are Harper and her friend 0:21:36.119 --> 0:21:37.640 on their way to the antique mall. 0:21:38.080 --> 0:21:39.560 So it's really sweet. 0:21:39.800 --> 0:21:42.720
