00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:04,479
Speaker 1: And that's what you really missed with Jenna.

Speaker 1: it wrong, mystical magical Jason Moraz Are you kidding?

7
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 2: I'm not ready.

8
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: We're such big fans.

9
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 2: Jason raz is the sweetest human with the sweetest voice.

10
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: I met him backstage at Waitress. I went to go

11
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 1: visit and he was doing doctor Pometer at that point, to.

12
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 2: Which I'm so mad I'm going to see him do.

13
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 3: That, Kevin.

14
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: To watch him sing you Matter to Me with Sarah

15
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: Brellis was such a treat.

16
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 2: I mean truly such a treat.

17
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: And he's featured on Sarah's twenty fifteen album What's Inside

18
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 1: the Songs from Waitress, so you should go listen to

19
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: that too. So it was like projecting him coming to

20
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 1: do it.

21
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 2: Those two singing together should not be allowed.

22
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: No, I know, I know, it was really something else.

23
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 2: I think they both have perfect pitch.

24
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:18,559
Speaker 1: That would make sense.

25
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 2: What oh I I love to ask you more about that.

Speaker 3: Not so much. But that's okay, Jason.

34
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:49,760

59
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,799

Speaker 3: we have dance moves. It's kind of like a big

70
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 3: show choir kind of a feeling. Everybody plays instruments and

71
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 3: there's multiple multiple instruments. You know, people are changing out

72

00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 3: the show's not you know, we don't do the same

74

Speaker 3: song order every night, which is also fun where we're

75
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 3: still trying to make it exciting for ourselves.

76
00:03:58,160 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 2: So great.

77
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,119
Speaker 3: So I think if you if you have them into

78
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 3: a show of mine yet, this would be the tour

79
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 3: to do it, and also, I don't know how long

80
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 3: I'm going to tour after this, you know, I don't know.

81
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 3: Living in a motel on the side of the freeway.

82
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 2: Tough people show up and they see you in the lights,

83
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 2: in the stage and all that, and they think that's

84
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 2: all it is.

85
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 3: They're seeing the best part of the day, you know.

86
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 3: They're saying, yeah, they're seeing the two hours that everybody

87
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 3: works all day to put together, you know. And then

88
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 3: after that the countdown begins to like, you know, pack

89
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 3: your stuff and get on the bus. You know, we've

90
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 3: got like, you know, crew that has to keep things moving,

91
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 3: and then we all squeeze into a bus that's too

92
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 3: small for all of us, pile of bags and the

93
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 3: gross you know, just the smells of the bus are

94
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 3: not pleasant, and you go bang them out night after night.

95
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 3: There's another job like it. It's like a circus, is

96
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 3: it really is.

97
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: We toured for a little bit and we got a

98
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: small taste of it, and we got some swanky you

99
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: know things along with it too, and it was not

100
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: a fair tour experience.

101
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 3: You know, you get you get all the whole spectrum.

102
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 2: Yes, that's right, Jenna I believe that.

103
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 1: I believe that.

104
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 3: Congrat thank you, thank you so much.

105
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 2: So on Glee we got to cover two of your songs,

106
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 2: Lucky and I Will give Up.

107
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 3: Now.

108
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 2: How does that work from your end? Do you hear

109
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 2: about like this show wants to use your music? Do

110
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 2: you approve of it? Had you heard of Glee? How

111
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 2: does that work from your end?

112
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 1: Yeah?

113
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 3: I heard of it and knew that they were taking,

114
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 3: you know, modern songs and spinning them into the script

115
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 3: and into the storyline for this musical television show. And

116
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 3: I just thought that's super cool. And as a songwriter,

117
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 3: you want to find homes for your songs. You want

118
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 3: to have places where they're played. And I think the

119
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 3: more interesting, the better, you know. I think anybody can

120
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 3: get their song streamed, anybody get their song on the radio,

121
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,239
Speaker 3: but not everybody can get their song woven into a script,

122
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 3: into a storyline on a musical television show, you know.

123
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 3: So I find stuff like that, moments like that to

124
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 3: be really high honor. And and then I'm always curious,

125
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 3: is that you know how they're going to take a

126
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 3: song like I Won't give Up, which, you know, it

127
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 3: sounds like I'm singing to someone but you know, really,

128
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 3: I'm sitting at the table singing to myself to not

129
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 3: quit and I give up with myself after a heartache,

130
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,039
Speaker 3: after a breakup, I still want to recognize the beauty

131
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 3: and the other person, but I still want to maintain

132
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 3: the beauty that I have inside, because when you go

133
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 3: through a breakup, you feel like a loser, you know.

134
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 3: And so I won't give up was a way for

135
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 3: me to say, Look, I don't want to walk away

136
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 3: from this, I don't want to walk over my dream.

137
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 3: I don't want to give up on thinking I'm a

138
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 3: cool guy. I won't give up, you know. So that

139
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 3: song was very healing for me. So whenever I see

140
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 3: people using it at weddings or in any ceremony in

141
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 3: their life and in the casically, you know, it was

142
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 3: pretty amazing just to see how a song idea from

143
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 3: your kitchen table can suddenly exist in some other universe.

144
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: Totally, yeah, totally did you now? Did you? Were you

145
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: curious after we use them? Did you not want to

146
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: see it done? Did you watch it? You don't also

147
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: have to tell us, But I'm just curious because like

148
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: as actors, some people watch their stuff and some people

149
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: cannot possibly watch their their work, So I'm just curious,

150
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: like what you are kind of processes.

151
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 3: I didn't see it in real time. I think I

152
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 3: saw it much later. I was touring a lot when

153
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 3: it came out, And honestly, I'm always working on the

154
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 3: next song, you know. Yeah, I don't think about the

155
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 3: old songs. I'm delighted, you know, don't get me wrong,

156
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 3: But as a creator, I'm always like, what I know

157
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 3: where my next song idea and where my next musical

158
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 3: expression will be.

159
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: Sure.

160
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 2: It was also so fun for us because we did

161
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 2: so many older songs as well, Like a big part

162
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 2: of the foundation of Glee was doing sort of eighties

163
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 2: and seventies music. Sure, And I remember when we first

164
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 2: did Lucky so excited. I had my fingers crossed that

165
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:39,839
Speaker 2: I was doing it, but I didn't get to do it.

166
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 2: But Cordon Dana who did it. It works so beautifully

167
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,439
Speaker 2: with their voices and in the storyline. And then it

168
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,959
Speaker 2: was one of our favorite times during the show on

169
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 2: tour because they did that every single night all over

170
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 2: the world, and.

171
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:55,319
Speaker 3: It was really.

172
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 2: Beautiful. I mean, like, I mean the most minised glimpse

173
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 2: maybe to what you are receiving every single night on

174
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 2: tour because we were all on stage for that, but

175
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,959
Speaker 2: it's those two outperforming it, and so we're looking at

176
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 2: an arena full of people singing the song wow and yeah.

177
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 2: To hear them like that must just be the most

178
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 2: incredible feeling for you night of night on tour because

179
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:24,319
Speaker 2: you have gigantic songs and songs that mean a lot

180
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 2: to people. I think a lot of your songs soundtrack

181
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 2: a lot of people's lives in a way, because you're

182
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 2: such a good storyteller. When you go out on tour,

183
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 2: do you do people just bum rush you of how

184
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 2: much these songs mean to them.

185
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 3: I don't get bum rushed, but I do, you know, receive.

186
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 3: You know, hear a lot of great stories about people,

187
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,599
Speaker 3: how they've applied these songs to their lives, or what

188
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 3: they mean between friends and family. I wish I had

189
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 3: more of more songs like that, because they when they

190
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,079
Speaker 3: hit in the set list, they pete. You know, the

191
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,719
Speaker 3: show has these moments where suddenly the audience is just

192
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 3: singing so loud. I have a great singing audience and

193
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,839
Speaker 3: it is a wonderful feeling that I never get tired of.

194
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 3: And like I said, I wish I had more songs

195
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 3: in the show like that, because occasionally, you know, I'll

196
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 3: do a few of those in a row, and then

197
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 3: I'll go to some obscure song and it's just quiet.

198
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 3: You know, the audience is like, Okay, we'll wait until

199
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 3: we know the next one. So sweet, But wow, I

200
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 3: didn't I didn't think about that about Lee on tour

201
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:34,959
Speaker 3: and how that song would be sung. Thank you so much.

202
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 3: That's a great like visual to imagine arena full of

203
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 3: people and I'm not even there. Yeah, you know, if

204
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 3: I want to go on tour again, I might be

205
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 3: wrapping my tour years up and you can take my

206
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 3: songs and have That's very nice.

207
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 2: I think are over you could be a Jason Rats

208
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 2: cover group, you know what.

209
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 3: You know what when I'm on to I feel like

210
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 3: a Jason Rand's cover group, you know, I really do.

211
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 2: Who played the flash and he was also on Glee.

212
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 2: I was texting him before this because he and I

213
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:21,080

00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 3: Rod Stewart. He is the biggest Flash fan, the biggest

222
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 3: Ye every show, whole series on a little catch him

223
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:53,199
Speaker 3: watching it on a little iPad on the soundboard. What

224
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 3: are you doing, I'm watching the Flash. He's in a

225
00:11:55,720 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 3: digets like I'm watching the Flash show, very familiar with Grant.

226
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 2: Tell us about your new album, because you came out

227
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago and it's so good.

228
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,559
Speaker 3: Thanks. You know, I'm still trying to do things that

229
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,079
Speaker 3: I haven't done yet. And as a singer songwriter who

230
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 3: typically writes some guitar piano, it's hard to like break

231
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:29,199
Speaker 3: out of you know, pop formulaic structure, you know. And

232
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 3: but I've sort of always been in the acoustic rock lane,

233
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 3: and I wanted, but I've loved electronic music for my

234
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 3: whole life, you know. I love synthesizers and beats and

235
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,599
Speaker 3: going to you know, dj C DJs and listen to

236
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 3: m and all that roller skate to disco and dance music.

237
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 3: And Michael Jackson was one of my heroes growing up,

238
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 3: and so I've never really gone down the dance music route,

239
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 3: and I tried that on this album. I wanted to

240
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 3: see if I could take the songs we were working

241
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 3: on and just go them up a little bit. So

242
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,719
Speaker 3: we we wrote from that perspective of like, how could

243
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 3: what could we give our audience Because that's another thing

244
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 3: is we tour so much. We noticed that our audience

245
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,319
Speaker 3: wants to actually participate in dance and do things, you know,

246
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 3: So we wrote an album that would would hope affect

247
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 3: our tour and it is, you know. Now we're like

248
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 3: a little singing and dancing group. I just watched the

249
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 3: Wham documentary and I'm.

250
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 4: So inspired by their They're just there, their their attention

251
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 4: to inclusivity and their their love of dance and bringing

252
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:33,359
Speaker 4: joy to audiences.

253
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 3: I think that that document came out just the right

254
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 3: time for us here. We're launching, when we're launching the tour,

255
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 3: so we feel a little bit like Wham right now.

256
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 3: And that's kind of what the album feels like as well.

257
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 3: It's just like happy dancing, uh, cheering you on to

258
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 3: go live your dream type of songs.

Speaker 1: We need more of that right now. So I'm glad

280
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 2: My god, so nice guys. We just talked to Jason Rice.

281
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 2: We should really start using this podcast as a way

282
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 2: to just hang out with people were gigantic fans of.

283
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: Well, I remember, and I just didn't we didn't have

284
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 1: enough time. But I remember they would ask me on

285
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: the carpet what I would want to sing, and I

286
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: would do a lot of carpets with you, Kevin, and

287
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 1: I would be like, I don't want to tell them

288
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 1: what I want to sing anywhere. I'm tired of that.

289
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 1: I'd be like, well, I want Kevin to sing I'm yours,

290
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: and I would always pitch that one for you out

291
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 1: in the world. But we loved Jason Raz. We loved

292
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: listening to when we were such a big fan of his.

293
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 2: One of my earliest memories of living in LA when

294
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 2: I well, when I first started going to LA before

295
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 2: I properly moved there. I think I was thirteen or fourteen.

296
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 2: I made my mom drive me to a CD warehouse

297
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 2: is what it was called, to buy Jason Raz's very

298
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 2: first album. I remember it, oh so clearly. I went

299
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 2: and buy myself. I paid for it by myself because

300
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 2: I saw him like on VH one or something they're

301
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 2: doing like a new artist Spotlight, and I was like,

302
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 2: I want this guy to be so successful, because you know,

303
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 2: it was indie pop. It wasn't what everybody else was

304
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 2: doing at the time, and I felt like I need

305
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 2: to do my part and make sure Kevin he gets

306
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 2: to keep making music, and wow, wow, you know it's

307
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 2: like I said to him, soundtracks the rest of my life.

308
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: We got to see him from New York last a

309
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, and he was really it was

310
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 1: really inspiring, and he's really wonderful, and you can tell

311
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 1: how much he loves his craft and how much he

312
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 1: respects it, and and it's so grounded, so just.

313
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 2: How naturally good he is at it too. It all

314
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:36,680
