0:00:45.960 --> 0:00:50.880
<v Speaker 3>You know, because you know, hey, mine as well.

0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:57.520
<v Speaker 1>I gotta say that kind of happy about this moment.

0:00:57.800 --> 0:01:02.760
<v Speaker 1>I think when you're having fun. Not to sound like

0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:04.200
<v Speaker 1>a cliche, but time really does fly.

0:01:06.360 --> 0:01:06.880
<v Speaker 4>And I was.

0:01:06.800 --> 0:01:10.199
<v Speaker 1>Told that, you know, when you're having fun and time

0:01:10.240 --> 0:01:13.520
<v Speaker 1>has passed, you got to be doing something right. Here

0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:16.959
<v Speaker 1>we are at our fifth anniversary, and still in my

0:01:17.080 --> 0:01:20.039
<v Speaker 1>mind it feels like maybe this is our second or

0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:23.360
<v Speaker 1>maybe third anniversary or Quest Love Supreme. We've been on

0:01:23.440 --> 0:01:26.360
<v Speaker 1>for five years, five crazy years. Just to give you

0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:28.720
<v Speaker 1>guys some background. Of course, you're all die hard, so

0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:31.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't even think I need to explain to you

0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:31.800
<v Speaker 1>what this is.

0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:35.120
<v Speaker 3>But you know, just in case you were late comers,

0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:36.600
<v Speaker 3>you know, during a pandemic of a.

0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:39.760
<v Speaker 1>Lot of people discovered us in a lot of our

0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:40.600
<v Speaker 1>old episodes.

0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:43.360
<v Speaker 3>The qlex actually.

0:01:43.000 --> 0:01:43.600
<v Speaker 4>Came up.

0:01:45.280 --> 0:01:50.440
<v Speaker 1>When I was like knee deep my tenure teaching at NYU.

0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:53.320
<v Speaker 1>I talked there for like five years, shout out to

0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:56.760
<v Speaker 1>all my students that made it, that are now making

0:01:56.800 --> 0:01:58.720
<v Speaker 1>more money than I am.

0:02:01.760 --> 0:02:02.920
<v Speaker 4>But you know, even though I.

0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:04.880
<v Speaker 1>Was having a ball playing professor over there, you know,

0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:07.920
<v Speaker 1>my management's like, okay, you only got twenty five students

0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:10.280
<v Speaker 1>a year, Like you could be hitting millions with.

0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:12.840
<v Speaker 3>The same lessons that you're teaching now. So I was like, okay.

0:02:13.320 --> 0:02:15.560
<v Speaker 1>So at the time, like my standard for what I

0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:18.640
<v Speaker 1>liked in a radio show was a show called The

0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:22.160
<v Speaker 1>Gordon Gartrell Show, and that was hosted by q alys's

0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:27.399
<v Speaker 1>own shout out the Boss Bill and Fon Ticolo. So instantly,

0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:29.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, I asked those guys to come around. And

0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:34.679

<v Speaker 3>Words of wisdom? I believe I'm on the stage with

<v Speaker 3>you right now.

0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:10.800
<v Speaker 4>You're on stage with me right now, Steve. Steve, we'sed

0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:11.680
<v Speaker 4>the dream of this man.

0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:15.560
<v Speaker 3>We did we talked about uh, we did talk about

0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:16.040
<v Speaker 3>it a lot.

0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:19.920
<v Speaker 5>And you know, the thing is about you and what

0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:23.880
<v Speaker 5>and once I started working with you that I kind

0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:26.440
<v Speaker 5>of adopted, is this this strange sense of like.

0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:31.400
<v Speaker 3>Fuck everything. You know, we're going to do this stuff.

0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:33.719
<v Speaker 5>And we're going to do it over and over again

0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:37.480
<v Speaker 5>for like the Tonight's show for years and and and

0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:42.200
<v Speaker 5>and when you started the podcast, I didn't I didn't know.

0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:44.800
<v Speaker 5>I didn't have any preconceptions about whether it was going

0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:48.240
<v Speaker 5>to last or not either way, but I just kind

0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:50.120
<v Speaker 5>of knew if you're associated with it, it's just one

0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:52.280
<v Speaker 5>of those things where it's like you plug away every day.

0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:56.520
<v Speaker 5>You just keep working, like I guess, like a workaholic.

0:04:56.920 --> 0:04:59.120
<v Speaker 1>And then it's five years later, and then it's.

0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:04.279
<v Speaker 5>Five years later and it's successful, and I'm sure you get.

0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:06.760
<v Speaker 3>As much positive feedback as I do about the show.

0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:09.919
<v Speaker 1>Well, I feel like you're the real heart of the show, Steve,

0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:14.720
<v Speaker 1>because you're actually an active contact with I mean, they're

0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:18.960
<v Speaker 1>now the Sugar Heights. I almost of the people that

0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:21.600
<v Speaker 1>I hear almost guarantee that forty percent of them are

0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:23.920
<v Speaker 1>probably from your your Sugar.

0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:28.440
<v Speaker 5>Network, right, but we do not. Nobody calls we're not

0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:30.640
<v Speaker 5>sugar rights. Nobody said that's not a word.

0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:35.799
<v Speaker 4>Okay, but you get hate mill already.

0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:40.840
<v Speaker 5>But we were talking before the show about that, and

0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:44.279
<v Speaker 5>it's a real thing. QLs is five years old, the

0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:47.000
<v Speaker 5>Sugar Network is three and a half years old. So

0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:49.559
<v Speaker 5>we're right behind you, and it's sort of a mini

0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:52.760
<v Speaker 5>version of this. It's just music nerds talking about music

0:05:52.800 --> 0:05:53.239
<v Speaker 5>and life.

0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:56.080
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and it's the real heart of the show. It's

0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:58.440
<v Speaker 4>the real heart of the show. Let's let's let's bring

0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:00.000
<v Speaker 4>some other people onto.

0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:03.200
<v Speaker 1>Well, I'll ask you who who, Well, I'll ask you

0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:06.440
<v Speaker 1>when we're all together, who should we bring next with us?

0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:08.000
<v Speaker 4>Should we bringing on fant Tagelo?

0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:12.080
<v Speaker 3>You're asking me, Yeah, it's your show as well.

0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:20.159
<v Speaker 4>So actually.

0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:24.320
<v Speaker 3>With Sherman's him here to me, you bring the.

0:06:25.880 --> 0:06:29.760
<v Speaker 4>Red red wine? Okay. So the reason why.

0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:33.080
<v Speaker 1>We have to use Jimmy Liggans drunk for fans, I

0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:36.479
<v Speaker 1>think I know why Frante comes alive always during the

0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:40.560
<v Speaker 1>Christmas episodes, which is always probably our most humorous ones.

0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:43.680
<v Speaker 1>But we got to make a custom you know, a

0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:47.320
<v Speaker 1>custom theme for fon Tigelo, because Frante makes all the

0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:48.360
<v Speaker 1>themes for everyone else.

0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:50.760
<v Speaker 4>You know, hey man, it's you.

0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:52.200
<v Speaker 6>Know, it's I just try to do what I can

0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:55.160
<v Speaker 6>just to make the ship hot man, make it you know, exciting,

0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:56.960
<v Speaker 6>and you know, when I was asked to come on this,

0:06:57.400 --> 0:06:59.200
<v Speaker 6>I'm always looking at ways just to make it dope

0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:01.320
<v Speaker 6>and just ways that I can add value and you know,

0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:03.440
<v Speaker 6>just take the shit to the next level. So now

0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:04.599
<v Speaker 6>it's been it's been a blast.

0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:04.800
<v Speaker 3>Man.

0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:07.800
<v Speaker 1>Like if Steve is the spirit of the show, you're

0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:12.080
<v Speaker 1>definitely the most down to earth, grounded in reality stage

0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:12.240
<v Speaker 1>of
