It's like it's it's 106 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: and I sometimes I have a bit of like separation. 107 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 1: You know. We live on different levels of the house. 108 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: And when we started with bunk beds, you used to 109 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: have bumps, yes, and uh like you got a room 110 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: for activities, you know, like wequod box every morning and 111 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 1: stuff like that.

Yeah, you guys don't look like 124 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: but you came in and you were so good. And 125 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 1: I remember, and I probably I probably shouldn't share this, 126 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,599 Speaker 1: but what I don't do a lot now in my world, 127 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 1: I don't do a lot of fighting for a lot 128 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: of music. Occasionally I will stick my neck out and 129 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: now you guys came on the show, and so I 130 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 1: don't talk to a lot of label people ever.

And 133 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 1: I was like, you know what, I did not have 134 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: high expectations. It was. It was mostly to do a bit, 135 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: you know, to do funny. Yeah, I said, but I 136 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: don't think I've ever been as impressed as I was, 137 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: not just how good you guys were, but how good 138 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 1: the song was. And he said, and again, there's probably 139 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 1: three or four people in your mind who it could be, 140 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 1: and I will not tell you who it is. And 141 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 1: he said, Okay, that's all I needed to hear. We're 142 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 1: going for it, and thank you.

We had a game for those 166 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 1: that didn't hear the segment where we had ten eggs 167 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: and we would take turns of having a neg against 168 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: smashing against our head, and only one of them was raw. 169 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 1: The rest of them were gonna be hard boiled, so 170 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 1: they wouldn't religious go, they wouldn't smash, And Mitch grab 171 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 1: is the one that is first. First egg grabs It 172 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 1: smash egg everywhere, quickest funniest bit ever.

Yeah, okay, two 196 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 1: years k one to know? For you it was two years. 197 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 1: For the rest of us, it's one okay, but yeah, yeah, yeah, 198 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 1: I got it was actually three, if we want to 199 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,840 Speaker 1: get into it, you guys, at what stage of your 200 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:41,839 Speaker 1: childhood life did you guys meet? We were three years 201 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 1: old before school. We went to a preschool you call it. 202 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 1: He was eating crayons. I think there's no way you 203 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 1: remember that meeting already. I have no memories before five. 204 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 1: I remember. We'll actually have videos that helped me remember, 205 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 1: so that's probably what it is. But Tom was really 206 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 1: begin too eating sand back in the day, like sand 207 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:03,200 Speaker 1: pit style, just like yeah, something with the texture. But 208 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,960 Speaker 1: we went to c Fourth Kindergarten, which was the town, 209 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:11,319 Speaker 1: which area suburb within Sydney where we met, and the 210 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,839 Speaker 1: kindergarten was called essentially if we were from Nashville, we 211 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 1: would be called Green Hills. You know, so you meet then, 212 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: but do you become friends or do you just know 213 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 1: each other? We know each other. We had like play 214 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:23,679 Speaker 1: dates like our parents. Like, I don't even know how 215 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 1: that gets. Your parents know each other? Yeah, yeah, through 216 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:28,680 Speaker 1: through the kindergarten, and I feel like it's like a 217 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 1: thing that the parents are sun that the kids get along, 218 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 1: so let's let's let's make them hang out kind of thing. 219 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: And that's kind of like the age that we would 220 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,559 Speaker 1: hang out. I guess. Like I have a vivid memory 221 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 1: of stealing one of Tom's Pokemon cards. That's like one 222 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,079 Speaker 1: of the earliest memories I have. Tom and I's going 223 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 1: thut of his Pokemon collection and taking a card out 224 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 1: of sleeper. I don't remember exactly what the card was, 225 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 1: but that was serious. That's caused a lot of tensions. 226 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 1: This might this might break right now you find out. 227 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:54,559 Speaker 1: I think it's the one that Jake had on his 228 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,679 Speaker 1: neck or was that when Mike was the Chars you're 229 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 1: all nerds, great, that's all like all you guys. Um, 230 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,439 Speaker 1: So when did you actually become friends where it's like, Okay, 231 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 1: you're my guy, We're going to be friends. We've been 232 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 1: friends since we were young, and we've kind of always 233 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 1: got along and laughed and like we made music together. 234 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 1: We played music together through high school like a different 235 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 1: events and stuff. But then after high school I moved 236 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 1: to l A for a couple of years. Mitch was 237 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 1: in Sydney doing his thing with a band, and then 238 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 1: we started writing together around then, like twenty one ish 239 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 1: in l A. When you were writing, were you writing online? Yeah? 240 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,680 Speaker 1: We wrote like we were sending songs back and forth 241 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 1: via Skype, and then we kind of wrote once. But 242 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 1: then I went back to Australia to visit my family 243 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:35,959 Speaker 1: and stuff one time when I was about one, and 244 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,079 Speaker 1: we wrote together and we're like, this feels like something 245 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: really cool, and then we kind of just were like, 246 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 1: let's just do this, like let's focus on this. Did 247 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 1: you move to La to do music time you did. Yeah, 248 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 1: and so ended up getting a job at In and 249 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:48,960 Speaker 1: Out Burger and that was kind of the peak, so 250 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 1: that the l A trip wasn't good for you, No, 251 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 1: I know it was, man. I didn't have a job 252 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 1: at In and Out, but I did have a job 253 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 1: at Big Wangs. But yeah, I had a place at 254 00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 1: a job at a sports park called Big Wangs. And 255 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,320 Speaker 1: I only realized years later what it was kind of 256 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,719 Speaker 1: been playing. You didn't know then You're working at a 257 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,719 Speaker 1: sports part that was named after a large penis. Well 258 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 1: then it was like wings though as well, because it 259 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 1: was known for its wings, and I was like wang. Yeah, 260 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:11,680 Speaker 1: So now I figured it out. And there's just a 261 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 1: lot of revelation coming into my atmosphere today about the 262 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 1: Pokemon card and Big Ones. It's just it's a lot 263 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 1: to take in. You moved to l A to pursue 264 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 1: a solo solo Yeah, yeah, we both did individual things 265 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,320 Speaker 1: and it was great. Man. I learned a lot there 266 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 1: and made some connections with people I'm still friends with 267 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,439 Speaker 1: and stuff, and then yeah, but then this just felt 268 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 1: like the right thing, and so I was like, we 269 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 1: Nashville was the end goal, and so I was like, 270 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:38,559 Speaker 1: I'm going to move back to Australia, focused on this 271 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 1: for a couple of years with the end goal of 272 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 1: moving to Nashville. And so what kind of band were 273 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 1: you in match back in Australia. So I started a 274 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 1: band when I was like I think twelve thirty, and 275 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 1: it was like rock, just like like a punk rock 276 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,319 Speaker 1: band or straightforward. Honestly, it was kind of like we 277 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 1: were playing like like almost Fleetwood Mac style ish kind 278 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 1: of music, like soft rock classic and as thirteen year olds, 279 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: which is kind of weird, but like we just loved 280 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 1: just it was just like garage stuff, like messing around. 281 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,680 Speaker 1: We do band competitions and okay, I think we won 282 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 1: one band competition, which was the peak. And at that 283 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:13,560 Speaker 1: age I was like this is it. We're gonna be massive, 284 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 1: like this is everything. And then something's happened the band 285 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 1: fell apart, and then I was like just things happened, 286 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 1: they grew, aren't it here? You know, realized we were 287 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 1: not talented at all. And then you're playing the instruments 288 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 1: to a thirteen tom When did you start? Yeah, I 289 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 1: started playing guitar when I was like nine. Okay, who 290 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 1: put it in your hand? And why he was the 291 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 1: child he was the child prodigy. Are you really? And 292 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 1: this and my story kind of links with him, which 293 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 1: is kind of funny, but like I was looking up 294 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: to Tom. But I remember my first day at school 295 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 1: Tom at high school. It was like year five for us. 296 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 1: I think we're like ten years old, and Tom did 297 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 1: a performance for our the whole grade because we're in 298 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 1: in the same grade. And I think you did like 299 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 1: smells like teen Spirit or something like that with your 300 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 1: Blue Squire or whatever it was. You play smells like 301 00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 1: teen Spirit alone. I did smells like taine Spirit. And 302 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 1: I think I did the anthem by God the anthem 303 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 1: and told me do that, And like I knew Tom 304 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 1: was an artist. This is before i'd ever like I 305 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 1: had sang, but I didn't. I didn't play a tar 306 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 1: at all. And I remember seeing him being like I 307 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 1: need to do this too. I was like, I'm going 308 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 1: to do this. So he kind of like inspired me 309 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 1: at that age to get involved, and I was like, 310 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 1: I don't know if it was jealousy, probably a healthy, 311 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 1: like motivated jealousy of like I want to do that, 312 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 1: be able to do that too. So then I was 313 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 1: learning I was never as good as as as Tommy. 314 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 1: But then we would start to play like school functions 315 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 1: and stuff. We was the first collaboration like parent teacher 316 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 1: cocktail parties when we're like thirteen fourteen, and then people like, 317 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 1: you guys are cool, and I feel like I was 318 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 1: the first one that like hinted like we should like 319 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 1: team up sometime and like and he was like, no, never, No, 320 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 1: I never said that. So who does most of the singing? 321 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 1: Because when you guys saying in front of me, you 322 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 1: both sang yeah, But what's the rule with you guys 323 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 1: on that we essentially have these with a couple of 324 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 1: sets of boxing gloves, and when we write a song, 325 00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 1: we get the gloves out and just kind of and 326 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 1: he's my stronger than I am, so he ends up 327 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 1: winning most of the time, and some of the chorus 328 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 1: is therefore um no, I mean the way that we've 329 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 1: just kind of figured it out is like the identifiable 330 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 1: thing I think is like Mitch singing the chorus, because 331 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 1: it's like you can you know, if you switch it 332 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 1: out like too much, it becomes like, I don't know, 333 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 1: the Mit sings chorus, And then we'll kind of trade 334 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: off verses or prey or whatever, and then like harmonies, 335 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 1: but it's super everything we do is like super collaborative 336 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 1: and it's like a very like the fact that you 337 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 1: were both singing versus that was super cool. Yeah, regardless 338 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 1: of who's singing the chorus, like you you literally have 339 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 1: two lead singers and at the end of the day 340 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 1: the court, we're both singing the chorus. We we wanted 341 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 1: to have a prominent in the record that, like Tom's parties, 342 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 1: is like very easily hurt. It's like we're both sharing 343 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 1: and it's like we're hard nizing in the whole time. 344 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 1: But also another cool thing is like Tom's guitar ability 345 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 1: and like having his guitar personality also shine out, like 346 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 1: as we grow and can like a budget around shows, 347 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 1: it's like revealing him as an incredible guitarist. City is 348 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 1: as well, are you really good to playing the guitar? 349 00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 1: He really still be horble. I'm asking a real ques 350 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 1: and I don't know, I don't like, I don't know 351 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,360 Speaker 1: I would. I know I've played for a long time, 352 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 1: so I feel comfortable, but I feel like I'm here's 353 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,679 Speaker 1: the thing. I feel like maybe it's being Australian and 354 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 1: I've struggled with this for a while. I'm really bad 355 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,720 Speaker 1: at letting people know that I do what I do. 356 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 1: Like I produced breakups in like ill spare room, you know, 357 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 1: and I'm producing this stuff for us now, and like 358 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 1: I said, everything is very collaborative. But it's like I'm 359 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,160 Speaker 1: really bad at like being like, here's me playing guitar, 360 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,959 Speaker 1: like he like, you know, we're producing or anything like that. 361 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 1: So it's like funny, so I get weird talking.

But let's say it hits 484 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,119 Speaker 1: and you have two hundred thousand dollars in there, and 485 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,680 Speaker 1: one hundred bucks goes to two hundred thousand. You're probably 486 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,359 Speaker 1: selling half of that, right, Yeah, at what point do you? 487 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:10,440 Speaker 1: I want to take half because then if I'd lose 488 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,160 Speaker 1: it all, then I'm upsetting myself.

We're the only sleep I was 520 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 1: getting for the most part was on planes because just 521 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:38,960 Speaker 1: traveling work. Yeah, but I don't like sleeping up, and 522 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:40,879 Speaker 1: I used to take sleeping pills, but I was afraid 523 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 1: I was gonna wake up, like or or someone's gonna 524 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 1: put me in jelf like pooping the aisle because it 525 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 1: happened to me, and it's tough. It's tough, and it 526 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,160 Speaker 1: just goes straight down the back and everyone's like, why 527 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 1: it's a seat swell up like balloons, and I'm like, 528 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 1: I'll wake up and I'm like, my shoes are going 529 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,359 Speaker 1: to explode.

How long do you come over here? And 534 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:10,879 Speaker 1: then what do you do while you're here? So we 535 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 1: have a three month visa. It's a holiday visa, is 536 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:15,879 Speaker 1: what we're allowed. So we could do three months. We're 537 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,120 Speaker 1: not all out of work or make any money out here. 538 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,040 Speaker 1: We could just go. I think technically there was some 539 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 1: weird stuff about even writing with people because we're creating 540 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 1: something that they could that many but they're not like 541 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 1: they're not like they're not cracking down, but we would 542 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:33,160 Speaker 1: just come out right music, come back, like spend everything 543 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:34,639 Speaker 1: that we've saved up, and then we would do we 544 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 1: would do weddings in Australia. We do weddings and cover 545 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,960 Speaker 1: gigs and we get up and we'd sing Valerie every 546 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,159 Speaker 1: every you know, four times a week. Yeah, just like 547 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 1: the cover circuit in Australia.

She was like, yeah, 643 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 1: you have to do, just like for good and so 644 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 1: it was was there another year, but I had to 645 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,240 Speaker 1: go back. I showed up on I showed up Monday, 646 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 1: They're like, wait, why are you here? And I was 647 00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,760 Speaker 1: like and then they started thinking, I like just did 648 00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 1: the whole thing for for the party and sympathy, so 649 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:04,720 Speaker 1: like I felt that, like, like, so it takes six 650 00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 1: months for you guys to be able to get back. 651 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:09,440 Speaker 1: Is it six months where you know it's going to 652 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:10,840 Speaker 1: be six months or was it like, okay, this week, 653 00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:12,720 Speaker 1: can we go? It was a little bit like that. 654 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,680 Speaker 1: I think we were just hounding, had the application finished, 655 00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:17,800 Speaker 1: ready to go, and then the person that put our 656 00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:21,480 Speaker 1: application got fired or left the company. And then the 657 00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:23,520 Speaker 1: person that was overseeing it said, look, she kind of 658 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:26,480 Speaker 1: did a half host job. We can't use this. We 659 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 1: have to do with the whole thing again. So they 660 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:30,760 Speaker 1: went and read it it and we're like sitting there like, okay, 661 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 1: a couple more weddings, It's all good. But it was fine, 662 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:38,480 Speaker 1: would you do a wedding just you two or do 663 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:39,800 Speaker 1: you have a four band? We had a full band. 664 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,160 Speaker 1: Tom would play bass, I'd play electric, and then we 665 00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:45,120 Speaker 1: had like keys, drums, and it would like the rotation 666 00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 1: would change. The girls quirt sometimes come and join and 667 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 1: seeing player. I gotta imagine though, because I would read 668 00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 1: stories about the Beatles in Germany, they would just play 669 00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,280 Speaker 1: this one one club and they played for like five 670 00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,560 Speaker 1: six hours, yeah, sometimes longer than the same. They do 671 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:00,960 Speaker 1: cover songs and they said something they had to just 672 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,000 Speaker 1: do them again. They played for three four hours and 673 00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,320 Speaker 1: started and the same. I would just imagine there's kind 674 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:07,960 Speaker 1: of like a music school you go through that almost 675 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,840 Speaker 1: as needed by every artist. It's like when someone plays 676 00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:12,920 Speaker 1: on Broadway. Yeah, because a lot of folks come through here, 677 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:14,719 Speaker 1: they played on Broadway. They are now big stars now 678 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:16,280 Speaker 1: where they're like ot to play four hours and I 679 00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:18,800 Speaker 1: had to play anything I knew. I would think playing 680 00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:21,520 Speaker 1: at weddings as that. Yeah, yeah, And it went through 681 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:23,560 Speaker 1: that the whole thing, like obviously, like when it comes 682 00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:25,560 Speaker 1: to you know, starts on Broadway, I'm like, I feel 683 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,760 Speaker 1: like we did our Broadway stint, but in Australia, like 684 00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:32,280 Speaker 1: we were playing it multiple different bars, venue, small acoustic 685 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,800 Speaker 1: places to the weddings and stid multiple years. We literally 686 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:39,120 Speaker 1: signed the deal with Sony and it was such this 687 00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:42,040 Speaker 1: high and we had this amazing trip, amazing experience, and 688 00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:44,120 Speaker 1: I flew back and I had a gig booked from 689 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:46,200 Speaker 1: before we'd come over, before we knew we were signing 690 00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:49,680 Speaker 1: anything at this like Diggers club in a straight like 691 00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:54,600 Speaker 1: this like RSL. It's essentially likes it's like a war memorial, 692 00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:56,520 Speaker 1: war memorial kind of club, like a lot of like 693 00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:58,400 Speaker 1: older like families and stuff all go.

For sure. 712 00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:48,880 Speaker 1: Keith and I are friends, Yeah, I would say more 713 00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,200 Speaker 1: than friendly, but less than like best bud. He's here 714 00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:53,680 Speaker 1: long enough, right right, but we're in that stage where 715 00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:55,560 Speaker 1: like Avenue show that just came out and he watched 716 00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:57,360 Speaker 1: all four episodes. He was like, dang this Strugs are 717 00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:59,960 Speaker 1: freaking good. Yeah. Um, And so we'll send each other 718 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:01,960 Speaker 1: music and stuff. And when I went to Australia, he 719 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:03,600 Speaker 1: text me and he happened to be in Australia at 720 00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 1: the same time. He's like, hey, come come over, and 721 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:07,600 Speaker 1: so I go over to his house and I'm like, hey, 722 00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:09,200 Speaker 1: I was looking on I said to him. I was like, 723 00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:11,200 Speaker 1: I was flipping to the channels here and I was 724 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:12,840 Speaker 1: looking on the radio and I couldn't find like a 725 00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:16,480 Speaker 1: country music station and you can tell me if it's changed. 726 00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:19,880 Speaker 1: But he was like, you're really not going to because 727 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:21,800 Speaker 1: I also heard his song that was country here on 728 00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,719 Speaker 1: the pop station. Yes. Yeah, And I said, said, what's 729 00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:27,640 Speaker 1: up with that? He goes, well, country now for the 730 00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 1: most part in Australia, if you're gonna find it's almost 731 00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:31,400 Speaker 1: like an A M station and it's gonna be a 732 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:35,719 Speaker 1: lot of Australian band Australian based, like traditional Australian countries 733 00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 1: and it's more traditional, yeah, and he said, so to 734 00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:39,800 Speaker 1: make it, yeah, that's what he said. So to make 735 00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:42,320 Speaker 1: it kind of country, you gotta kind of be pop 736 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 1: or to cross. And so I was like, well, that's 737 00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,840 Speaker 1: interesting that like mainstream country doesn't really have a home 738 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,840 Speaker 1: yet and yeah, you guys, then why how did you 739 00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:53,080 Speaker 1: get to country music? And that's and that's the funny thing, 740 00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:54,600 Speaker 1: and that's what we always say, And is I feel 741 00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:58,200 Speaker 1: like you in hearing that fully understand what we usually say, 742 00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:01,160 Speaker 1: which is like you don't find true music unless you 743 00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,920 Speaker 1: look for it, particularly growing up in like metropolitan Sydney. 744 00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:07,240 Speaker 1: Like and so when we discovered Keith, like I heard 745 00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,279 Speaker 1: Golden Road that album when it came out, and I 746 00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:11,360 Speaker 1: was like, this is incredible, Like what is this like? 747 00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:12,920 Speaker 1: And I know it's the same thing for Mitch, and 748 00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,440 Speaker 1: it's like that was like the first discovery of like 749 00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,120 Speaker 1: this feels like what we're trying to do, you know, 750 00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,560 Speaker 1: like even like playing guitar and like the guitar solos 751 00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:22,759 Speaker 1: and the lyrics and the storytelling and from there we 752 00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:24,920 Speaker 1: like dive down the rabbit hole and discovered all these 753 00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:26,880 Speaker 1: other artists and different things. But Keith was like the 754 00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:28,960 Speaker 1: door because he's kind of like the hometown hero, you 755 00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:32,879 Speaker 1: know exactly. Yeah. Can you play guitar? Yeah? Oh yeah, 756 00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:36,480 Speaker 1: sounder himself as much as I do, So you're a 757 00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:40,840 Speaker 1: decent rhythm for his lead terrible rhythm but if but 758 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:44,200 Speaker 1: if ye, because he can he can? Yeah he can? 759 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:46,600 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah yeah I can, I can, I can, I 760 00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:49,360 Speaker 1: can do some things. But he's just he's he's just 761 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:53,200 Speaker 1: like that. So is your job? Then as you're playing, 762 00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:56,239 Speaker 1: are you mostly holding down the rhythm part? Finally enough, 763 00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,759 Speaker 1: when we play acoustic, I play the not so much 764 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,120 Speaker 1: eat like, I'm not ripping solos, but I'm doing like 765 00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,120 Speaker 1: the parts. But then when we get on stage with 766 00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,319 Speaker 1: a full band, I'm on acoustic, he's electric and he's 767 00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:08,120 Speaker 1: doing all that. That's when he actually gets to like 768 00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:15,879 Speaker 1: so defined again that's one and then play guitar. Yeah yeah, yeah. 769 00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,799 Speaker 1: So he got in trouble for that back in ours, 770 00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:23,200 Speaker 1: but apparently people are cool with it over here. No reference. 771 00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:25,280 Speaker 1: That's what it sounded like, and that's why I regretted 772 00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:28,000 Speaker 1: saying it immediately. He definitely does not on stage no, 773 00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:30,080 Speaker 1: I didn't, but I don't know. I'm just trying to 774 00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:33,640 Speaker 1: figure out. Yeah, yeah, if you would have that's not 775 00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,440 Speaker 1: a term here, so you know, he say, I like 776 00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:40,880 Speaker 1: people know, like you're like that kind of that technically 777 00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:48,000 Speaker 1: if you like, but that's not anyway that's what the 778 00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:50,479 Speaker 1: term you'd say. But you can also like we also 779 00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:53,120 Speaker 1: just say stupid stuff that doesn't make it's not the 780 00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:54,799 Speaker 1: actual meaning of it. But like we were like he's 781 00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:56,759 Speaker 1: playing guitar and he's like ripping it. Like I'm like 782 00:35:58,239 --> 00:35:59,880 Speaker 1: on the guitar, you know what I mean? What we 783 00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:01,719 Speaker 1: will do with this part of the thing.

There are three levels 824 00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:56,000 Speaker 1: of getting your music played on white each of them 825 00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:57,719 Speaker 1: are super cool. And first of all, to get put 826 00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:00,440 Speaker 1: on a big playlist, it's cool. So if they're like 827 00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:05,439 Speaker 1: like hot country on Spotify, you guys been on that yet? Yeah, 828 00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:08,279 Speaker 1: And that's cool because you're like, Okay, I made the 829 00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:10,360 Speaker 1: big play list. You get some screens, maybe people discover 830 00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:12,960 Speaker 1: me to this list, um, and there's like you know, 831 00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:15,960 Speaker 1: songs and hopefully somebody just hits play and comes across. 832 00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:19,040 Speaker 1: Like that's like that's like the first one where you're like, Okay, 833 00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:21,560 Speaker 1: feeling freaking good about this because sometimes I just put 834 00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:22,880 Speaker 1: some random crap on there that I'm like, why is 835 00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:24,040 Speaker 1: this even on here? And most of the time they 836 00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:26,239 Speaker 1: do a really good job, and they do they do 837 00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:29,760 Speaker 1: you know, kind of curate a good list. The second 838 00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:35,160 Speaker 1: one is satellite because they have to there's only they 839 00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,080 Speaker 1: can play anything and ratings don't matter. But they only 840 00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:40,759 Speaker 1: have so many slots. So that's cool, and that's like 841 00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:43,160 Speaker 1: level two where you're like, this is freaking cool, and 842 00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:50,879 Speaker 1: that's we get people like stending in there. But three 843 00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:55,920 Speaker 1: is because normal radio, to restore radio, only has so 844 00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:58,759 Speaker 1: many spots and they have to get ratings if they 845 00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:03,080 Speaker 1: play I say, they like I don't pick and play music, right, 846 00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:05,120 Speaker 1: So I do say that because I don't program. Yes, 847 00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:08,040 Speaker 1: if they pick a song that's a that's a real turn, 848 00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:11,040 Speaker 1: people will change it and that will affect their livelihood, 849 00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:13,879 Speaker 1: like program director. So that's why programs are so tight 850 00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:17,359 Speaker 1: with songs now more than ever before, because one, it's 851 00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:20,080 Speaker 1: hard to keep a job in anything creative. And then too, 852 00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:22,759 Speaker 1: if you play a song that you can look and 853 00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:24,920 Speaker 1: everybody turned it off, you're bossing, like why did you 854 00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,719 Speaker 1: play that stupid song? Yeah. The fact that you're now 855 00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:33,319 Speaker 1: getting played on that's the next big step. That's fantastic. 856 00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:36,759 Speaker 1: And all of them are equally great and they're all 857 00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:40,240 Speaker 1: just in different ways. And so for you to experience 858 00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:42,040 Speaker 1: all three now, like I love it for you guys, 859 00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:44,640 Speaker 1: and it's it just feels it's like, you know, you 860 00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:47,000 Speaker 1: can't prepare yourself for it until it's like actually happening. 861 00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,360 Speaker 1: And I turned it on the station completely by accident, 862 00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:52,600 Speaker 1: and it wasn't like because a p M.

At this point, I'm like, I kind of 1039 00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:03,440 Speaker 1: like the glasses now. I never wore glasses until I 1040 00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:05,560 Speaker 1: moved here. I'd always have bad eyesight, but I'd always 1041 00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:08,239 Speaker 1: work contacts. But I hated waking up in the morning 1042 00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:10,120 Speaker 1: and being like blind until I got to the bathroom 1043 00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:12,600 Speaker 1: and put contact lenses in. I just wanted something to wear. 1044 00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:14,120 Speaker 1: Now I'm like just so used to it and it's 1045 00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:16,520 Speaker 1: kind of become part of the image now.

So and then it's just become 1053 00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:36,320 Speaker 1: part of it. And now I'm like, now I'll be 1054 00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:38,359 Speaker 1: insecure if I don't have a glasses on. You are 1055 00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:41,399 Speaker 1: um slight and I'm not even joking. You're a little 1056 00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:42,960 Speaker 1: better look at than I. But I'm gonna say that 1057 00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:45,440 Speaker 1: you could but not have glasses and still be a 1058 00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:47,879 Speaker 1: good looking guy. I need glasses because I'm generic white guy. 1059 00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:50,600 Speaker 1: Like I'm just generic white guy. And so when I 1060 00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:54,839 Speaker 1: was younger, I loved Buddy Holly, who was yeah um. 1061 00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:58,239 Speaker 1: And then I'm a massive Weezer fan, and so as 1062 00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:02,040 Speaker 1: I look for nerds that were cool, I was like, man, 1063 00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:05,600 Speaker 1: those guys do it and their nerds and they're cool, 1064 00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:08,600 Speaker 1: and like I needed something and that's where mine comes. 1065 00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:11,439 Speaker 1: I'm also, my right eye doesn't work, it's like five percent, yeah, 1066 00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:14,279 Speaker 1: and I'm terribly color blind and my left eyes. So 1067 00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:16,920 Speaker 1: but these for me was all. It was almost like 1068 00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:20,719 Speaker 1: like a that's superhero costume.

I think she likes that. 1073 00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:34,560 Speaker 1: I think let me ask you this before we go, 1074 00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:36,200 Speaker 1: because for some reason, I guess we didn't turn the 1075 00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:37,759 Speaker 1: air down before you guys got here. We wanted to 1076 00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:40,040 Speaker 1: make it as Australia as possible.

It's like here's what 1084 00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:09,239 Speaker 1: I there. Thank you to say that that's what I 1085 00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:12,520 Speaker 1: hear A definitive point about. I think it's more of 1086 00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:14,480 Speaker 1: a like it's it's in the I mean also, I 1087 00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:16,080 Speaker 1: haven't been in Australian a long time, but like it's 1088 00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:19,680 Speaker 1: all over, like ah you TikTok and Instagram like all 1089 00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:22,040 Speaker 1: they like the new UFO stings, which are actually older 1090 00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:25,160 Speaker 1: videos that are just resurfaced, and it's like like propaganda 1091 00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:27,080 Speaker 1: and like everyone's talking about it here. I don't know 1092 00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:29,399 Speaker 1: if that happened as much back home, but maybe it's 1093 00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:31,960 Speaker 1: resurfacing everywhere and I'm only seeing it here because that's 1094 00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:34,239 Speaker 1: where I am. I feel like you're very much more 1095 00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:37,320 Speaker 1: into that. So I love I love space. I love 1096 00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:41,719 Speaker 1: things I we can't possibly know. Yes, I'm big on 1097 00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:43,400 Speaker 1: there's got to be a way to time travel, like 1098 00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:45,920 Speaker 1: I love time travel, and and just the fact that 1099 00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:49,360 Speaker 1: I look into the past. If you're light years away 1100 00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:51,759 Speaker 1: with a telescope, if we could do that, you'd be 1101 00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:55,719 Speaker 1: looking into the past. So and and I almost think 1102 00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:57,759 Speaker 1: if you can think it and survive long enough, it 1103 00:50:57,840 --> 00:51:01,799 Speaker 1: can happen, because there's really no thing that primitive man 1104 00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:05,400 Speaker 1: thought that hadn't happened, and we're just primitive man A 1105 00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:09,520 Speaker 1: little later. Yes, don't get me started. It's my thing, um, 1106 00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:12,880 Speaker 1: but thank you. I appreciate that. I'm all for it. 1107 00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:15,000 Speaker 1: One final question for you guys. If you go home, 1108 00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:17,960 Speaker 1: are you a big deal? Or did you only try 1109 00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:20,680 Speaker 1: to be a big deal here. We kind of focused 1110 00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:23,560 Speaker 1: on the US from the get go. Now, luckily, I 1111 00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:26,040 Speaker 1: feel like there are some people back home that I 1112 00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:29,120 Speaker 1: guess have followed along and have picked up about us 1113 00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:31,759 Speaker 1: along the way. But no, we definitely like had nothing. 1114 00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:33,440 Speaker 1: It was like, yeah, we started from the ground up 1115 00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:35,759 Speaker 1: over here. What's the one question when you walk into 1116 00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:37,320 Speaker 1: an interview you know they're going to ask and you're like, 1117 00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:44,840 Speaker 1: let's just get through it. Uh, dude, it's funny, there's 1118 00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:48,160 Speaker 1: not really. I feel like the Keith urban thing gets 1119 00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:50,840 Speaker 1: brought up a lot, but it's kind of expected, you know, 1120 00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:52,800 Speaker 1: and and we have a point to talk about it. 1121 00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:55,920 Speaker 1: So give it a year, give it a year. Yeah, actually, 1122 00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:58,480 Speaker 1: let's check in with us again because but here's the thing. 1123 00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:00,719 Speaker 1: It's great, this is where it's just started again. We 1124 00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:03,440 Speaker 1: were hitting interviews, yes exactly. That's why we're at a 1125 00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:04,719 Speaker 1: point now where it's like it's been we had a 1126 00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:06,560 Speaker 1: year completely off and now we're doing it again.

Yeah, you guys, my left handed. I can't 1178 00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:26,759 Speaker 1: do it. Sorry, no, I'm only left hand. Here's my 1179 00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:29,120 Speaker 1: Keith Urbid story before we go. There's I know I 1180 00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:30,840 Speaker 1: have like good ones, but I give you one more 1181 00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:34,279 Speaker 1: good one. Um. I was interviewing Keith for like c 1182 00:54:34,560 --> 00:54:40,440 Speaker 1: M A Fast underneath the the football stadium. There's like 1183 00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:42,320 Speaker 1: a little spot we were in it, and so I 1184 00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:43,759 Speaker 1: had my guitar and I was doing a little funny 1185 00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:46,279 Speaker 1: songs and people and I was add it done, whatever 1186 00:54:46,320 --> 00:54:49,440 Speaker 1: it is, dope, you get it. And so Keith, everyone's like, 1187 00:54:49,880 --> 00:54:51,799 Speaker 1: I'm gonna do your impression. I might let me. Let 1188 00:54:51,840 --> 00:54:53,600 Speaker 1: me see your guitar. And I was like, well, it's 1189 00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:56,239 Speaker 1: left good, it's left handed. And he's like, we never 1190 00:54:56,320 --> 00:55:00,520 Speaker 1: really played left handed before. That wasn't good. And so 1191 00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:04,400 Speaker 1: he grabs it and I watched his eyes and his 1192 00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:10,080 Speaker 1: and you just he's kind of clunking around like and 1193 00:55:10,160 --> 00:55:13,200 Speaker 1: then it kind of clicks and he starts to go 1194 00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:17,800 Speaker 1: to and he's playing chords the other hand reverse he 1195 00:55:18,040 --> 00:55:19,520 Speaker 1: and he right then in that moment was a better 1196 00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:23,640 Speaker 1: guitar player than me left hand. That's good because then 1197 00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:26,560 Speaker 1: people will play left handed guitars flipped upside down. Yeah, 1198 00:55:26,560 --> 00:55:30,680 Speaker 1: like Jimmy Hendricks did that course, just flipped it because 1199 00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:32,320 Speaker 1: you didn't know how to switch it. And there's I 1200 00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:36,279 Speaker 1: used to break nuts on you know, because we're talking 1201 00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:40,120 Speaker 1: about on an acoustic guitar. For those there's there's a 1202 00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:42,880 Speaker 1: nut all the strings going to but those those groups 1203 00:55:43,040 --> 00:55:46,680 Speaker 1: are different size. For a little bit trying to switch 1204 00:55:46,719 --> 00:55:49,000 Speaker 1: the strings. Then I realized you just got to go 1205 00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:51,960 Speaker 1: and get a left handed guitar. But to watch Keith 1206 00:55:52,040 --> 00:55:56,359 Speaker 1: Urban do that left handed, it was creaking. Listen, you guys, 1207 00:55:57,000 --> 00:55:59,560 Speaker 1: glad you came by.
