Speaker 1: a cliche, but time really does fly.
Speaker 4: And I was.
Speaker 1: Told that, you know, when you're having fun and time
Speaker 1: has passed, you got to be doing something right. Here
Speaker 1: we are at our fifth anniversary, and still in my
Speaker 1: mind it feels like maybe this is our second or
Speaker 1: maybe third anniversary or Quest Love Supreme. We've been on
Speaker 1: for five years, five crazy years. Just to give you
Speaker 1: guys some background. Of course, you're all die hard, so
Speaker 1: I don't even think I need to explain to you
Speaker 1: what this is.
Speaker 3: But you know, just in case you were late comers,
Speaker 3: you know, during a pandemic of a.
Speaker 1: Lot of people discovered us in a lot of our
Speaker 1: old episodes.
Speaker 3: The qlex actually.
Speaker 4: Came up.
Speaker 1: When I was like knee deep my tenure teaching at NYU.
Speaker 1: I talked there for like five years, shout out to
Speaker 1: all my students that made it, that are now making
Speaker 1: more money than I am.
Speaker 4: But you know, even though I.
Speaker 1: Was having a ball playing professor over there, you know,
Speaker 1: my management's like, okay, you only got twenty five students
Speaker 1: a year, Like you could be hitting millions with.
Speaker 3: The same lessons that you're teaching now. So I was like, okay.
Speaker 1: So at the time, like my standard for what I
Speaker 1: liked in a radio show was a show called The
Speaker 1: Gordon Gartrell Show, and that was hosted by q alys's
Speaker 1: own shout out the Boss Bill and Fon Ticolo. So instantly,
Speaker 1: you know, I asked those guys to come around. And
Speaker 1: then you know Sugar Steve, who's been like my longtime
Speaker 1: engineer from the days of voodoo and phrenology and Mama's
Speaker 1: Gun and all the common records and all that stuff.
Speaker 1: He and I always like talked about us hosting our
Speaker 1: imaginary radio shows back in the day. I know I'm
Speaker 1: gonna hurry up with the introductions because I can tell
Speaker 1: like it's going to be an hour and then like
Speaker 1: I'm we get to the guys, and not to mention
Speaker 1: unpaid Bill, who you know, I just befriended that year
Speaker 1: working on this off Broadway play called Hamilton. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you guys ever heard of it, but we
Speaker 1: became cool, and he was our first guest on the show,
Speaker 1: and he was so cool that he actually wound up
Speaker 1: to joining the team.
Speaker 3: That's how much fun that show was.
Speaker 1: But yeah, let me let me bring them in one
Speaker 1: by one. Let us start right now, right now, in
Speaker 1: case you're wondering, I'm in I'm in the glam room
Speaker 1: of the Tonight Show. How meta is it that we
Speaker 1: can see all of me back there through those mirrors.
Speaker 1: You see Tariq's Pirates booty snacks right there and next.
Speaker 4: To the alcohol.
Speaker 3: So yeah, food and alcohol right there.
Speaker 4: Anyway, let us bring in.
Speaker 3: Let's bring in Steve first said to Steve, do we.
Speaker 4: Have a steam ready.
Speaker 3: Words of wisdom? I believe I'm on the stage with
Speaker 3: you right now.
Speaker 4: You're on stage with me right now, Steve. Steve, we'sed
Speaker 4: the dream of this man.
Speaker 3: We did we talked about uh, we did talk about
Speaker 3: it a lot.
Speaker 5: And you know, the thing is about you and what
Speaker 5: and once I started working with you that I kind
Speaker 5: of adopted, is this this strange sense of like.
Speaker 3: Fuck everything. You know, we're going to do this stuff.
Speaker 5: And we're going to do it over and over again
Speaker 5: for like the Tonight's show for years and and and
Speaker 5: and when you started the podcast, I didn't I didn't know.
Speaker 5: I didn't have any preconceptions about whether it was going
Speaker 5: to last or not either way, but I just kind
Speaker 5: of knew if you're associated with it, it's just one
Speaker 5: of those things where it's like you plug away every day.
Speaker 5: You just keep working, like I guess, like a workaholic.
Speaker 1: And then it's five years later, and then it's.
Speaker 5: Five years later and it's successful, and I'm sure you get.
Speaker 3: As much positive feedback as I do about the show.
Speaker 1: Well, I feel like you're the real heart of the show, Steve,
Speaker 1: because you're actually an active contact with I mean, they're
Speaker 1: now the Sugar Heights. I almost of the people that
Speaker 1: I hear almost guarantee that forty percent of them are
Speaker 1: probably from your your Sugar.
Speaker 5: Network, right, but we do not. Nobody calls we're not
Speaker 5: sugar rights. Nobody said that's not a word.
Speaker 4: Okay, but you get hate mill already.
Speaker 5: But we were talking before the show about that, and
Speaker 5: it's a real thing. QLs is five years old, the
Speaker 5: Sugar Network is three and a half years old. So
Speaker 5: we're right behind you, and it's sort of a mini
Speaker 5: version of this. It's just music nerds talking about music
Speaker 5: and life.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's the real heart of the show. It's
Speaker 4: the real heart of the show. Let's let's let's bring
Speaker 4: some other people onto.
Speaker 1: Well, I'll ask you who who, Well, I'll ask you
Speaker 1: when we're all together, who should we bring next with us?
Speaker 4: Should we bringing on fant Tagelo?
Speaker 3: You're asking me, Yeah, it's your show as well.
Speaker 4: So actually.
Speaker 3: With Sherman's him here to me, you bring the.
Speaker 4: Red red wine? Okay. So the reason why.
Speaker 1: We have to use Jimmy Liggans drunk for fans, I
Speaker 1: think I know why Frante comes alive always during the
Speaker 1: Christmas episodes, which is always probably our most humorous ones.
Speaker 1: But we got to make a custom you know, a
Speaker 1: custom theme for fon Tigelo, because Frante makes all the
Speaker 1: themes for everyone else.
Speaker 4: You know, hey man, it's you.
Speaker 6: Know, it's I just try to do what I can
Speaker 6: just to make the ship hot man, make it you know, exciting,
Speaker 6: and you know, when I was asked to come on this,
Speaker 6: I'm always looking at ways just to make it dope
Speaker 6: and just ways that I can add value and you know,
Speaker 6: just take the shit to the next level. So now
Speaker 6: it's been it's been a blast.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 1: Like if Steve is the spirit of the show, you're
Speaker 1: definitely the most down to earth, grounded in reality stage
Speaker 1: of
