85
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:05,160

86
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 2: Well, I'm not What do you think he's gonna say?

87

108
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 2: mail bag?

109
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: Are you friends?

110
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 7: The GAILI he's pretty it all the air to pick

111
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,919
Speaker 7: something we call Bobby's mail bag.

112
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, hello, Bobby. I think I just busted my mom

113
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 2: cheating on my dad.

114
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 6: This is a mail bag.

115
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 2: Hey, people sending all kinds of stuff. It's not like

116
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 2: I was snooping. But my mom and I have phones

117
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 2: that look identical. I heard what I thought was my

118
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 2: phone buzz with a text message. I realized it was

119
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 2: hers and it wasn't protected with the password When I

120
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 2: opened I saw her text message screen with some rather

121
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 2: disturbing and graphic messages from a dude named we'll call

122
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 2: him Jack. For the record, my dad's name is not Jack.

123
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 2: Now I feel this massive burden on what to do

124
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 2: with this information or if I should do anything. Do

125
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 2: I talk with my mom about it? Do I tell

126
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 2: dad what's up? Do I use the info to negotiate

127
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 2: for a new car for me? I'm kidding about the

128
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 2: last one? Okay? Good? What do you think about this?

129
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 2: Signed son of a cheater?

130
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 8: Question mark?

131
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 2: Boy? Mom and dad's different than friends, and I think

132
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 2: you have to talk to your mom first. I don't

133
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 2: run to your dad and go I call mom cheating.

134
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 2: I think you go to your mom and you clear

135
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 2: up any confusion if there is any about what you saw,

136
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 2: and let her explain. And if it's an explanation you're

137
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 2: good with, then you'd be good with it. If it's

138
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 2: an explanation you're not good with, then then you got

139
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 2: to go to the stage, which you're right now. And

140
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 2: so But I think if you end up finding out

141
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 2: that your mom is cheating on your dad and your

142
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 2: dad doesn't know, you gotta go tell your dad. But

143
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 2: I think you have the conversation with the mom first

144
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 2: to make sure that you're thinking the right thing. Sometimes

145
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 2: we see a little nugget and we tell ourselves an

146
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,280
Speaker 2: entire story based on what that nugget is that we're

147
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 2: not even translating or reading correctly.

148
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:55,359
Speaker 3: Inappropriate comments and stuff, Jack, I don't know how graphic

149
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 3: they are.

150
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, who knows? She could be subscribed to

151
00:06:58,400 --> 00:06:58,919
Speaker 2: a tech service?

152
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: Oh lay.

153
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 2: The fourth time and a few weeks Ramy yelled up roleplay.

154
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 6: I'm there could be an explanation.

155
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 7: But if the dad is Jack's.

156
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 2: Diane, I don't know.

157
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 7: This happened to my friend like four years ago, and

158
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 7: they went to It was the dad though, and the

159
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 7: siblings got together and went to the dad and and

160
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 7: then the dad handled it like this. Kids didn't have

161
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 7: to go to the mom. The dad owned up and

162
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 7: handled it with the spouse.

163
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 2: So I think two things that could happen. One, you

164
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 2: could go talk to your mom about it. She's like,

165
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 2: this isn't true, you're this wrong. Let me show you this,

166
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 2: this is what's happened, that could happen. Or she goes

167
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 2: it's true and I'll I'll tell them because I'm embarrassed

168
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 2: in a shame. Yeah, this happened to my cousins too.

169
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 2: Oh my god.

170
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 3: They found an email and then took it to my aunt,

171
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 3: which is their mom, and she was the one cheating,

172
00:07:58,160 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 3: and yeah they're not together anymore.

173
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, it's crazy. Anybody else was like, yeah, this happened.

174
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 7: Parents were married, that's how. So a card was found

175
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 7: in the trash, A card like a card. I thought

176
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 7: it was thrown out, like a thank you for touching me.

177
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 2: I don't know what kind of card, credit card, business card.

178
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 6: Agreeing Valentine's or something like why would you?

00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:26,760

180
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 2: Why would you be a straget Valentine?

181
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 6: Remember listen, it was thrown away, but then somebody found.

00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 2: It your fingers, why would you bring in the house?

183
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,120

Speaker 6: No, child, you never have to read message from you.

217
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 2: Did you read messages? You saw the card?

Speaker 6: Damy, No, I've just seen no child, you've.

219
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:09,400

00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 2: that matter.

221
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:15,760

Speaker 2: It was like describing it was all.

226
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 6: I was an adult like that wasn't when I was

227
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 6: a kid.

228
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,199
Speaker 7: Obviously their sex message there wasn't dirty.

229
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 6: Listen is dirty?

00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:39,600

00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 2: Been a fan for a long time.

250
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,079
Speaker 10: Well, I've been doing it a long time. It's suddenly

251
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 10: occurring to me.

252
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 2: Now you still I don't know, look twenty four, it's weird.

253
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 2: Do you have an aged moisturizer? Yes? Hey, So I

254
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 2: have a lot of questions, especially about when you first started,

255
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 2: because there are a few people to me, Dave Grohl,

256
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:06,319
Speaker 2: Foo Fighter started that by himself Five for Fighting, was

257
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 2: a single guy, then turned into a band. Dashboard Confessional

258
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 2: similar thing, Right, You started this as a project by

259
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 2: yourself and then made a band a panic of the

260
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 2: Diesco Similar? Is that all kind of am I right

261
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 2: on that story.

262
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 10: Right about the fact that it was started by myself

263
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 10: and eventually became a band. But I think in my

264
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 10: mind in the early days, I know it is true.

265
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,719
Speaker 10: I was in other bands that were proper bands. I

266
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 10: was in one particular called Further Seems Forever that was

267
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 10: I thought the main thing, you know, and it was

268
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,559
Speaker 10: only Dashboard was only a side project. But all that

269
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 10: to say. The side project was all my friends are

270
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:41,959
Speaker 10: on tour and all of their bands wouldn't be fun

271
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 10: if whenever they came home we could all play together.

272
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 10: So I'll just call this thing that I'm doing by

273
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 10: myself a band name, so it doesn't feel like preclusive

274
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 10: and it feels inclusive. My friends had come on stage

275
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:55,719
Speaker 10: of their home, and that's not exactly what happened, but

276
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 10: it was my original conception for it.

277
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 2: So the band is dead again. By the way, your record,

278
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 2: your unplug records are my favorite. I just loved it

279
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 2: so much, and you know, there's a lot to it.

280
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,599
Speaker 2: So how many people are actually in dashboard confessional like

281
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 2: the dashboard? How many people in the band.

282
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 10: Will on this tour?

283
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,599
Speaker 2: So, yeah, it's all different, right, it's you are the

284
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 2: central figure always.

285
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 10: Well, I guess I've been the constant, and there's been

286
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 10: quite a few long standing members, and there's been people

287
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:25,719
Speaker 10: that when they you know, they leave to go and

288
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,559
Speaker 10: do other uh and onto other musical projects or other

289
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 10: life projects, and then they come back. It's kind of

290
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 10: an open invitation to come on back. So like for example,

291
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 10: Scott our bass player has been in the band. I

292
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 10: think for this will be twenty years. That's a long time,

293
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,199
Speaker 10: you know. But sometimes I go out by myself, so

294
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:43,959
Speaker 10: Scott's not there.

295
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 2: So when you're starting this project and you're doing it

296
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 2: by yourself, are you recording it on because everybody has

297
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 2: a bedroom story or a garage story? Like what did that? Actually?

298
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 2: What literally does that mean? Are you recording on like

299
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 2: some four track player? Is that the first dashboard where

300
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 2: you just sitting there singing acoustically into a crappy closet

301
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 2: or microphone? Yeah, it was.

302
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 10: It was a little task scam four track, but I

303
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 10: bought it a tag sale. That was what I started with.

304
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:12,439
Speaker 10: That's not what the record was, but it wasn't much

305
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 10: better than that. That first record was recorded in a closet,

306
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 10: but you know, it had you know, foam patting on

307
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 10: the wall, so it felt cool, it felt real. But

308
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 10: the early demos I recorded a lot of them in

309
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 10: my van. In the back of the van, I had

310
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 10: like a just a single boombox. I can not a

311
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 10: multi track. So I have a tape of me running

312
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 10: through what would be the first record, which is called

313
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 10: The Swiss Army Romance. I ran through it all just

314
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 10: to see what a cool running order would be. And

315
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 10: I found that tape and it's the running order that

316
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 10: we used.

317
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 2: Was that about two thousand? Year two thousand?

318
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 10: Yeah, it was two thousand.

319
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 2: So you have this tape, And was your expectation to

320
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 2: go out and tour this for Dashboard to exist? Or again,

321
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 2: was it just a fun thing that you friends could

322
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 2: join like I what was kind of the motivation behind

323
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 2: creating this music with just yourself?

324
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 10: I guess it was a glorified art project or something.

325
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 2: I think did you expect it to ever be heard

326
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 2: by people?

327
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 7: No?

328
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 10: I expected to. What I'd hoped to do was put

329
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 10: out the one recording and maybe get lucky and press

330
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 10: a thousand if we could afford it, and sell them

331
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 10: how and sell them to people like from the van

332
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 10: from the van, yeah, and sell them to people at shows.

333
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 10: And I had one tour booked and it was I

334
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 10: think this one window where further seems forever wasn't going

335
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 10: out and it looked like just this neat opportunity to

336
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 10: go out and travel like just by literally by myself.

337
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 10: But I think it was eleven dates and then I

338
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 10: never went home.

339
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 2: When did you start to feel traction, even the lightest

340
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 2: bit of traction? Where it's wow, people actually like understanding

341
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 2: and relating to this music.

342
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 10: I was surprised to find it pretty early on. And

343
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 10: I don't mean that there was many people at the show.

344
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 10: There weren't, but they were five. All five seemed to

345
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 10: get it. Whatever that thing was, they seemed to get it.

346
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 10: And I was really shocked by it by that, because

347
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 10: I thought I was doing something unfamiliar in the setting

348
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 10: of like the punk rock scene. It was definitely unfamiliar,

349
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 10: just to having an acoustic guitar and I looked like

350
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 10: a hardcore kid, but it didn't sound like that kind

351
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 10: of stuff. But it didn't sound like something you'd play

352
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 10: in a coffee shop either, So I didn't feel like

353
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 10: I would have any place where I would find I

354
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 10: was surprised to find like minded people so quickly.

355
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 2: The term EMAO was tossed around like crazy, everything's emo

356
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 2: in different ways. Was that term prevalent when you started

357
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 2: to create this kind of music or do you feel

358
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 2: like you were one of the first ones to, you know,

359
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 2: really coin that in music.

360
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 10: Well, I guess no. I didn't feel like I was

361
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 10: one of the first ones, excuse me to coin it,

362
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 10: certainly not. I thought it was I thought it was

363
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 10: a misnomer, almost like and not. You know, that became

364
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 10: a four letter word later to some people. I'm not

365
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 10: sure it ever did to me, But in the early days,

366
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 10: you know, it was I thought I thought it wasn't

367
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 10: deferential to the people that I listened to that did

368
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 10: that music that was already called emo because there's been

369
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 10: a whole wave of it, a proper wave of like

370
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 10: a musical generation of like two to five years already.

371
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 10: And so at first I was like, this is weird

372
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 10: that they would call me that, and I couldn't quite

373
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:28,360
Speaker 10: figure it out, but realized that the thing was evolving,

374
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 10: whatever that scene was, was evolving to include I guess

375
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 10: me and my friends.

376
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 2: Did you feel like that, because again, your music was

377
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 2: at a time when I was, you know, nineteen twenty

378
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 2: twenty one years old, so that music was very important

379
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,639
Speaker 2: in my overall musical growth from where I was as

380
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 2: a kid to now. It was right in that timeframe

381
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 2: of being in college. Did you find that your music though,

382
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 2: was different to people, even though it was still kind

383
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 2: of punk rock, but just because it was an acoustic

384
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 2: that made it feel a bit emo to people that

385
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 2: was a softer feel.

386
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,040
Speaker 10: Oh, it's emo. It feels emo, I mean, but I

387
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 10: guess because of all those obvious reasons that it's softer,

388
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:06,360
Speaker 10: it's a different delivery, it's pretty passionate, and it's got

389
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 10: the It has the benefit of the kind of passion

390
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 10: you'll put into something when you think you're anonymous almost

391
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 10: you know, it couldn't conceive that people would really be

392
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 10: listening to this, so I didn't really hold back for

393
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 10: fear of how I might feel doing in front of people.

394
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 2: What did your band think as you started to pop

395
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 2: off and you're by yourself that you were in Was

396
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:28,919
Speaker 2: that tricky?

397
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 11: No?

398
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 10: Actually, well it became tricky or later when we were

399
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,439
Speaker 10: two bands operating at the same time once they had

400
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,439
Speaker 10: a different singer and we navigated that really well too,

401
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 10: to their credit, but in the beginning they were the

402
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 10: guys that were like, you got to go do this.

403
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 10: And as a matter of fact, that one of the

404
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 10: first shows I ever had was that was a fish

405
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 10: not I guess unofficially a dashboard show was because the

406
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 10: bass player of my other band, Chad from Further Seam Server,

407
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 10: said come over here, we're playing a festival's further was

408
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 10: He says, there's a guy kind of doing what you're doing.

409
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 10: We should go check it out. But the guy ended

410
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 10: up being me. It was a ruse. He just threw

411
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 10: me up in the middle of a tent and there

412
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 10: was you know, thirty people there.

413
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 2: And that's funny. Then that's supportive, even supportive time.

414
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 10: And they're still my best friends that I have. So

415
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 10: I'm grateful that they saw where I was going and

416
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 10: it wasn't where they wanted to go. They were these

417
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 10: all these songs were presented to them as options for

418
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:24,919
Speaker 10: us to play in that band, and they were right.

419
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,159
Speaker 10: They didn't fit that band. They were close, but they

420
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 10: weren't on the money.

421
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 2: Were you reluctant when success and fame started?

422
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:34,680
Speaker 10: Was confused? Reluctant?

423
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 2: Yeah?

424
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 10: I think I was a bit reluctant. I think I

425
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 10: remain a bit reluctant. It wasn't exactly the plan, but

426
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:45,160
Speaker 10: it was a lot of fun.

427
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,120
Speaker 2: Do you get nervous stays right at all before shows?

428
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:48,440
Speaker 9: Yeah?

429
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 10: I got it?

430
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:49,199
Speaker 2: Now?

431
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:49,880
Speaker 10: How am I doing?

432
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 2: Are you doing great? I would never think you were

433
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 2: nervous at all. You're kidding now, No, I'm not.

434
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 10: No, No, I get I have a weird roiling of

435
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:58,959
Speaker 10: energy that I'm trying to contain when I go up there,

436
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 10: And when I was newer and younger and greener, I

437
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 10: would find it to be alarming. It would like set

438
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 10: off almost a panic attack. But now I understand it's

439
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 10: just adrenaline, excitement and kind of like the love of it.

440
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 10: But for a while it was hard to.

441
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 9: Let it go.

442
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 2: Was there ever a time that you questioned should I

443
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,160
Speaker 2: keep doing this? Not because it wasn't working, but because

444
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:21,360
Speaker 2: it really started to work.

445
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 10: Yeah, things got a little hairy there, like where we

446
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 10: had to where we had to have like security guys

447
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 10: and things like that, and I was all thinking, and

448
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 10: I thought this was a really inclusive scene I was from,

449
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 10: and it remained so it wasn't people trying to like,

450
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 10: you know, rip my clothes off or our clothes off

451
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:40,679
Speaker 10: or anything like that. But it's just like a lot

452
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 10: of people with a lot of stories that they wanted

453
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 10: to do, things they wanted to share with us, personal things,

454
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 10: what have you. And I remember like not being able

455
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,440
Speaker 10: to go I don't know, to the to the mall

456
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 10: or whatever it was that you would do, you know,

457
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 10: running errands became this weird thing, and the suggestion was

458
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 10: made that we that we take secure. Yeah, that was

459
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 10: the weirdest thing ever. The nicest people I've ever met

460
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 10: were these giant security guys. But it was it was

461
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 10: not a good fit for me. I was like, this

462
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 10: is bringing more attention. I can put a baseball cap on?

463
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 10: How about that?

464
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:11,239
Speaker 1: Now?

465
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 2: Can you go out and put a hat on and

466
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 2: just live a somewhat normal life. Yeah, I'm not on

467
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 2: MTV anymore, and neither's MTV.

468
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:20,360
Speaker 10: Actually I don't think.

469
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think.

470
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 10: You know, there's two yeah, yeah, yeah, that's I've been

471
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 10: able to find the thing I'd hope for in the beginning,

472
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 10: which was this this path to be able to play

473
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 10: music for and with people without having to be have

474
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 10: my life totally disrupted.

475
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 2: What was the first video of yours that was on MTV?

476
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 2: What was it?

477
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 10: It was screaming in fidelities?

478
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, was that weird for you to see? And there's

479
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 2: a you know, there's a line and you're we'll talk

480
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 2: about the toying with the County Crows, but massive a

481
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 2: massive hand accounting Crows and Adam Durretz was in We

482
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 2: talked to them for a while. But there's a line

483
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 2: even in mister Jones's like, when I look at the television,

484
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 2: I want to see me staring right back at me.

485
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 2: Now that line is him one to see him on TV? Yeah,

486
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:03,679
Speaker 2: if that is that line you at all?

487
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:08,880
Speaker 10: No, it's not at all. It's not at all. God,

488
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 10: I wish it was. I might have I might have

489
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 10: had a different experience having seen it. But I remember

490
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 10: being like, I mean, I was excited to tell like

491
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 10: my friends, you know, but it was not a thing

492
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 10: I walked in with. I got used to it really quick, though,

493
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 10: Like I'd get excited and to kind of like think

494
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 10: about new video ideas. I got excited about the whole,

495
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 10: that whole corner of what music could be, and it

496
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 10: became really fun.

497
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 2: Do you think you would be happier or would have

498
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 2: been then happier if you only had mild success where

499
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 2: you could support yourself create your art, but not because

500
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 2: there was a point when you just became so popular

501
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 2: it became pop. Your music didn't change, but you became

502
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 2: so popular it became pop. Was that the hardest time

503
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 2: for you? Or was it awesome?

504
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 10: It was awesome. It was so great. I didn't really

505
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 10: have to change I did you know? We grew and

506
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 10: our music did evolve, but I wasn't being made to change,

507
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 10: and more and more people were were gravitating towards it.

508
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:11,879
Speaker 10: It was beautiful. I was maybe a little tired, like

509
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 10: physically tired. It's a big world to get to, you know.

510
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 10: And I think there was a point where we were

511
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 10: really doing I don't know how many shows it was,

512
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,360
Speaker 10: but it was like three hundred days out of the road,

513
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:24,439
Speaker 10: and that was a long stretch. I was a good

514
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,160
Speaker 10: couple or three years that we did that kind of schedule.

515
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 10: That was the only part that was really tough to

516
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 10: grapple with.

517
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 2: Was it weirder to be home than on the road?

518
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 10: Yeah? Yeah, maybe maybe always will be and maybe always was.

519
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 9: So so that.

520
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 10: That's something I think was probably good for me in

521
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 10: my life.

522
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 2: Where did you grow up?

523
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 10: Well, I kind of grew up in Connecticut and then

524
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 10: Florida and found music and all that once I moved

525
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:55,919
Speaker 10: to Florida.

526
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 2: And what about Florida, Like, were you exposed to a

527
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,479
Speaker 2: scene there that opened it up for you or were

528
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 2: you already searching for it? And I don't know, it's warmer,

529
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:05,439
Speaker 2: so you're out. I don't know why Florida.

530
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,959
Speaker 10: Well, I think there was there was a scene. There

531
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 10: was a music scene. Of course, there was one in

532
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:12,159
Speaker 10: Connecticut where I lived. I just didn't know about it.

533
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 10: I was a little bit too young, didn't know an

534
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 10: older kid on the block that might tell me there

535
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 10: was a youth Today show or something. But when I

536
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 10: got down to Florida, a couple things happened. Was I

537
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 10: was really into skateboarding. And this is pre you know,

538
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 10: super popularity of skateboarding. You still get beat up for

539
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:35,679
Speaker 10: having looking like you do it. But I found other

540
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 10: people like that that were into it, and I hadn't

541
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 10: really found that many people like that where I'd grown

542
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 10: up in Connecticut. But it also rains, like it's torrential

543
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 10: rain in the in the afternoons there a certain time

544
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:48,159
Speaker 10: of the year. So we would just like sit in

545
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,120
Speaker 10: a car or at the skate shop with music playing,

546
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 10: and I'd pick everybody's brains about it. And then they said,

547
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,920
Speaker 10: you know, there's they're playing here. Whoever it was, you know,

548
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,719
Speaker 10: we started going to shows and so it was sort

549
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:03,360
Speaker 10: of that just typical youth culture thing. There a friend

550
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,440
Speaker 10: with a driver's license, that kind of thing. Well, like

551
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,199
Speaker 10: I said, my driver's license, I just have a car,

552
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 10: So a friend with a car, and and the kind

553
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 10: of kind of meshing of those two worlds, the surf

554
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 10: and skate world with the music world. They're really entwined,

555
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,400
Speaker 10: and that's how I found the music scene.

556
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,439
Speaker 2: Really, my assumption is it could be an unfair assumption

557
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 2: that you may have been a shy kid. If you

558
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 2: were a shy kid, how in the world did you

559
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 2: become a front man? Wow? Like, what was that proble?

560
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 10: It was not my favorite thing it was, I should

561
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 10: say it was not my It was not an endeavor

562
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,439
Speaker 10: I went into looking for how to be a front man.

563
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 10: I just wanted to play with people, So I guess

564
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 10: kicking and screaming is how I got dragged into being

565
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 10: a front man. To be quite honest with you, I

566
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 10: was really really interested in writing songs. It's just an

567
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 10: okay guitar player, just an okay singer. I was pretty

568
00:25:56,480 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 10: good at at arranging music. So I was getting in

569
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 10: these bands and and felt like I was integral in

570
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 10: the band. But I was almost always just playing guitar.

571
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 10: That's what I really wanted to do. But I wasn't

572
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 10: like a ripper or anything like that. So I thought

573
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 10: we're contributing as a songwriter. I had a place.

574
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:18,919
Speaker 2: Then who goes, okay, Chris, we need you to sing.

575
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 2: We've heard you sing like a background vocals.

576
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:24,920
Speaker 10: That's how it happens. Yeah, that parts, could you somebody

577
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 10: do a harmony there, and I'd just do it, and

578
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 10: it was there, you know, And then you come in

579
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 10: with your songs and you're singing. I was singing the

580
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,360
Speaker 10: songs I was writing to the singer, to the rest

581
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 10: of the band, and finally somebody got annoyed with the

582
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 10: time it took to make somebody else do it. Just

583
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 10: you do it fine, and after a while that you

584
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 10: become a singer in the band, not the singer. This

585
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 10: band that I was in, vacant Andy's it's where I

586
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 10: learned to cut, where I really cut my teeth on

587
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 10: all things musical, certainly on all things band like how

588
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 10: to be in a band. But there was at one

589
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 10: point three singers, and then there was for the length

590
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 10: of the band there was two singers, so there was

591
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 10: no front man. It was we were trading off songs,

592
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 10: and we were always singing each other songs, singing on

593
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 10: each other songs. Excuse me. It was later when when

594
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 10: I got into further and those guitar players are like bananas,

595
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:14,919
Speaker 10: and as writers, they were bananas. And I was kind

596
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:16,880
Speaker 10: of like, why do they want me in this band?

597
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 10: And it was simply because they liked my voice, which

598
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 10: was weird because it was never the thing I expected

599
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 10: anybody to I thought it was just something that I

600
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 10: got to do, not that something anybody would want me

601
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 10: to do necessarily. So that's kind of how it came

602
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,680
Speaker 10: to pass that I got comfortable being at the center

603
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:33,360
Speaker 10: of things.

604
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 2: You didn't demand, like I always demanded attention, Like I

605
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 2: demand attention. I'm a type a personality. I want to

606
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 2: be in the front. Now you were the opposite.

607
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:44,440
Speaker 10: It was the opposite. By okay, I think the opposite

608
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:45,879
Speaker 10: thing might have been a little bit of like a

609
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 10: learned response, right because I was I was a shorter kid.

610
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 10: I have this weird birthmark when my hair grows two colors,

611
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 10: so like it's like it's a blonde right in the middle. Like,

612
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 10: and I was a kid of the eighties, so like

613
00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 10: Gremlins is out, so I'm getting called and all this

614
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,399
Speaker 10: stuff and beat up for it or whatever, picked on

615
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 10: for it, and I realized, like, okay, I better figure

616
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 10: out how to blend and maybe that was I learned

617
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,640
Speaker 10: that lesson too deeply. But once I realized I could

618
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 10: be more who I wanted to be out in the

619
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 10: middle of that stage, I would save it all for

620
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 10: then and really just be the guy and have it

621
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:20,920
Speaker 10: be the key that turned you into the whatever. It

622
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 10: is the real you. I've heard it said, you know, oh,

623
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 10: who are you up there? It's like I don't even

624
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 10: know you or whatever. It's like, No, that's kind of

625
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:28,400
Speaker 10: like I feel like that's me up there.

626
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 2: So you start this project in two thousand, would you

627
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:35,119
Speaker 2: say that Vindicated is this song that people would know

628
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 2: general public? You think Vindicated your biggest song? Yeah, it's

629
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 2: got to be, right, I would think so, but I'm

630
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 2: a little too close to.

631
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 10: It, if only because it's in a Marvel movie. Yeah,

632
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 10: it's got to be the most I don't know whether,

633
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 10: like I never remember like charts and things like that

634
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 10: and what songs were successful by certain metrics, but just

635
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:00,080
Speaker 10: that the most people had to have heard it in

636
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 10: the world from that from that man, you know.

637
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 2: You have your guitar. Could you give us a little

638
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 2: bit of indicated?

639
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 9: Yeah?

640
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 11: All right, I hope dangles on a string like slow

641
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 11: spinning redemption, winding in, winding out. The shine of it

642
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 11: is called my eye wrote me in so mesmerizing, so hypnotizing,

643
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 11: eye captivated.

644
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 5: I am authenticated, I am selfish, I am wrong, I

645
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 5: am right, and I swear I'm right, swear.

646
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 8: I knew it all along and I am.

647
00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 5: But I am clean up so well, I am saying

648
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 5: on me now the things you swore you saw yourself

649
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 5: so clear.

650
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 2: That's awesome, that's still so. I mean, it also takes

651
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 2: me back. There are certain songs that you hear and again,

652
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 2: that was a really big It's like when you're like

653
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 2: a young adult and music matters so much to you.

654
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 2: Like I can remember where I was like when I

655
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 2: would hear that song, and I remember being in the movie.

656
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 2: That was a Curse and Dunce version, right, Spider Man,

657
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 2: did you ever did you meet them?

658
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 10: I did, but don't They usually called the Toby Maguire version.

659
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 10: But yes, I'm back young, you know what, I guess.

660
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 2: I think it was a good version. That's funny. Yes, yes,

661
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 2: that did you write that song for the movie, Because

662
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 2: we talked with Adam Durretz and County Crows about the song,

663
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 2: the one in the Shrek and he wrote that for

664
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 2: the movie. Yeah, did you write that for the movie? Exactly?

665
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 10: And actually I had them and I were just talking

666
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 10: about that about accidentally in love the other day, and

667
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 10: it got me thinking, you know, I submitted a different

668
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 10: song to the production when when they when they asked

669
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 10: me about being a part of the soundtrack, and it

670
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 10: was not meant to be. The single wasn't meant to

671
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 10: be in the movie, and I really like the song.

672
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 10: It still hasn't come out. Then they but the cool

673
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 10: thing was they let me see the movie while it

674
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 10: was sort of still like it wasn't quite dailies, but

675
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 10: it was like this the graphics weren't rendered yet. It

676
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 10: would be suddenly just be like in animation in the

677
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 10: middle of it, like a holding place for like something

678
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 10: to come later. It was really a neat way to

679
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 10: see the movie, and it was the story of it

680
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 10: was really in my mind as I left there. They're

681
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 10: just like sort of like the conflict of wanting being

682
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 10: pulled in different directions, wanting things you can't quite allow

683
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 10: yourself to have or aren't allowed to have. And I

684
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 10: got to our last day to that run was in Hawaii,

685
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 10: and we're all going to go surfing, and I picked

686
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 10: up the guitar and it just like kind of spilled out,

687
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 10: and I was like, you know, it's funny. Where did

688
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 10: that song come from? And I was like, oh, well,

689
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 10: there's this line dangles on a string. Maybe it's from

690
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 10: Spider Man. So just that bit of it made me

691
00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 10: call home and just be like, would you want to

692
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 10: hear this other song? I know there's no time, and

693
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 10: so just like that, it was written. Maybe an hour

694
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 10: or two later. I called and played it for Leah

695
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 10: Vollak over the phone. She was the head of Sony

696
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 10: Music for Pictures and and she was like, give me

697
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 10: a minute, get me a tape of that. Sent her

698
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 10: a tape. She's like, could you actually I think she

699
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 10: made She's like, could you demo that today? What's like

700
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 10: pre like home studio kind of things like that. And

701
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 10: we were able to do it at the club that

702
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 10: we were playing that night, and they got that tape

703
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 10: home and somehow the next they were like, can you

704
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 10: fly home tomorrow record this? If so, it'll be in

705
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 10: the movie, it'll be the single.

706
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 2: Wow.

707
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 10: Okay, well yes, we'll be there.

708
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 2: How big was MySpace in your career?

709
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 10: It was so big? Oh, my god, it was so big.

710
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 10: It was the biggest prob possibly the biggest thing in

711
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:49,959
Speaker 10: my career except for Napster. Those were probably two biggest

712
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 10: factors in my career.

713
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 2: Will you explain because I was big on my Space?

714
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 2: Will you explain on my Space? As to some of

715
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 2: our younger listeners, Well, it.

716
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 10: Was like a do it yourself Facebook that was run

717
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 10: by renegades. I guess it was this. It was a

718
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 10: it's a social network because the first one I remember

719
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 10: that you that had the framework of what would really

720
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 10: come in social networks like really was very much like

721
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 10: Facebook in a lot of ways. But the way it

722
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 10: wasn't was it was seemed to be music and art

723
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 10: related really heavily, and you could skin your own page

724
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 10: right and you could, so everybody's user interface sort of

725
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 10: looked like their thing. You know who you were going

726
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 10: to see, and there was I think the reason it

727
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 10: got so big was was people were really hungry to

728
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 10: just communicate about the things they felt passionate about, and

729
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 10: no adults were really looking.

730
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 2: And was it they were using your music as their

731
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 2: song because you could put you had a song, you

732
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:50,960
Speaker 2: put a song up as is your song. Yeah, you

733
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 2: put people came to your page, it was like, this

734
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 2: is the kind of music I like, you're forced to

735
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 2: listen to it? Yep, so is that what happened with

736
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 2: your music? People just started sharing it, but in that way.

737
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 10: Yeah, like if you're gonna, if we're gonna be friends,

738
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 10: you got to know this about me. It's a big thing,

739
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 10: big way to open the door, an easy way to

740
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 10: open the door. Great shorthand. And we really benefited from

741
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 10: from timing on that one that we were that were

742
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 10: for so many people. We were writing some I was

743
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 10: writing I guess something that they that felt to them

744
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 10: like a way to explain themselves, and my space was

745
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 10: the way they where they could do that.

746
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:25,840
Speaker 2: And then my space got all weird and you get viruses,

747
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,879
Speaker 2: and then it just went away. Yeah, it was really

748
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 2: a napster too, but it napster kind of needed to

749
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 2: go away because when I was a kid, I would go,

750
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:37,399
Speaker 2: I can't believe these artists they want us to pay

751
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 2: for this music. I was so offended. Yeah, I was like,

752
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:43,319
Speaker 2: I can't. I hate mentalica, I hate all They were

753
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:45,880
Speaker 2: obviously right, because you are creating an art and you

754
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:48,919
Speaker 2: deserve to, you know, be able to live your life

755
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 2: based on the art that people are consuming. But at

756
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 2: the time, as a kid, oh, I was so mad.

757
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 2: I was like, I deserve to have this free and

758
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 2: I download every song. I would just hit the letter

759
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 2: D for example, I download every artist started with D,

760
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:03,280
Speaker 2: dashboard confession, all of it. So for you guys, again,

761
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 2: music being shared by like minded people. I got to

762
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:08,959
Speaker 2: imagine that was massive for you guys. For that brief period,

763
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 2: Napster was just killing it.

764
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 10: Look, I will have an unpopular opinion. I loved Napster.

765
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 10: It made my career. Sure, it like took away the

766
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 10: livelihood I might have had but wouldn't have, So I

767
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:20,920
Speaker 10: can only speak to how it affected me. And I

768
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 10: was I had a record made, but no distribution, And

769
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 10: later when I got on like a small label, they

770
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 10: didn't really have a distribution. And then when we were

771
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:34,920
Speaker 10: popping off, the label that we were on next was

772
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 10: having like a war with their distribution. And that whole

773
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:39,479
Speaker 10: time I could still get my music into people's hands,

774
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:41,759
Speaker 10: and I remember being like, well, we can't get Like

775
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 10: I literally couldn't get my records from the distribution place

776
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 10: when we were at that stage where could not physically

777
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:52,839
Speaker 10: get records, So I'd just be like, look, just buy

778
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 10: it later if you want to, but maybe get it

779
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 10: now so we can sing along together. So, but where

780
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 10: I do think that it did a service societally, I

781
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 10: guess it's a CDs were too expensive. They were artificially

782
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 10: priced in such a way that was that was harmful

783
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 10: to the consumer, I think, and so a Nobster, if

784
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:17,239
Speaker 10: if nothing else, was sort of the great equalizer. Now, yeah,

785
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 10: but it took away a lot of people's paycheck.

786
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:19,839
Speaker 2: I'm mad again.

787
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 10: I mean, you shouldn't have it free. There's a you

788
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:25,880
Speaker 10: should have it reasonably priced.

789
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 5: Uh.

790
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 2: Well, I was looking at your catalog of songs. You know,

791
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 2: Stolen was such a massive song for you as well

792
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 2: when you hit this stage of your career was when Stolen.

793
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,759
Speaker 2: I mean you you're You're a monster by the time

794
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:40,320
Speaker 2: Stolen hits as far as people come into your shows,

795
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know that there was ever for

796
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:46,320
Speaker 2: me a time to see dashboard and to see it

797
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:50,839
Speaker 2: so large and everywhere you went was this. I don't

798
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:52,759
Speaker 2: know what when I say stolen in that song, where

799
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 2: does that put you in your mind? About that point?

800
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:55,719
Speaker 10: Oh, I can tell I got it. I got a

801
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 10: chill even with how quickly. It took me back to

802
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 10: think about it. You know, I this, I lived in

803
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 10: basically a beach town, in a tourist town, and so

804
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 10: like when the easy end of the season would come,

805
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 10: you'd kind of get your city back, you kind of

806
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:11,319
Speaker 10: get your town back. But also like everything you loved

807
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:17,320
Speaker 10: about the exciting now of it all when season was

808
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:22,760
Speaker 10: happening and you're a young person and there's you know, action, activity, girls,

809
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 10: new friends, all kinds of things that felt familiar to

810
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 10: me as I was transitioning now into like another place

811
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 10: professionally where it's like, Okay, I wish I could go

812
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 10: back there, but everything ends, and I had this kind

813
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:40,719
Speaker 10: of I was conflating the two things, like the beautiful

814
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 10: temporary nature of it all and how it's all fleeting,

815
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:49,879
Speaker 10: it's all transitional, and like I just it was kind

816
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 10: of a nod to like, I think I need to

817
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 10: acknowledge that I love love it both ways. I love

818
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 10: it when everything's happening, and then I love it when

819
00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 10: it's really peaceful. And I always missed the other thing.

820
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 10: Whichever place I'm in, I missed the other place. So

821
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 10: the grass is greener, it's more like remember that it

822
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 10: really isn't greener, it's special in both places, so.

823
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 2: It's dead on both the grasses of dead or no hope.

824
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:16,840
Speaker 2: Would you mind playing a little bit of stolen for us?

825
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:17,239
Speaker 8: Sure?

826
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 10: You watch the season.

827
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 12: Up It sound Steaks catch the last weekend of last

828
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:37,839
Speaker 12: week before the Gold and the Glimmer have bun replaced

829
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 12: another sun soaked season fades away.

830
00:38:46,640 --> 00:39:08,799
Speaker 8: Stalls. You have Stomdy the melody the.

831
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:13,920
Speaker 2: Do you write melody first or you a lyrics guy?

832
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:17,319
Speaker 10: I think it's concurrent most of the time. I think

833
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:19,920
Speaker 10: I do the sort of a babbel as I'm singing

834
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 10: and catch a word here and there, and then I'll

835
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:25,320
Speaker 10: spend some time on lyrics and then sing melody lyrics,

836
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 10: melody lyrics, that sort of hand and glove.

837
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 2: How fast did that song come out of you? You know?

838
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 10: I always think about this, You know, those those songs

839
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 10: that you wrench on and you really just really really

840
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 10: are nitty gritty, on the on the on the minute,

841
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 10: shop at all, that take weeks and months or whatever.

842
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 10: By rights, those are the ones that should really connect

843
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 10: with people. But it's the ones that take you know,

844
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:51,319
Speaker 10: if they come into flash, they connect with people.

845
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 2: And this was one of the latter you your band, dashboard,

846
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 2: professional accounting, Crow is doing a whole lot of shows

847
00:39:57,600 --> 00:39:59,800
Speaker 2: together or fifty shows. How'd you guys come together to

848
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 2: you know, we get on this tour?

849
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 10: Oh, we've been talking about this tour for for a

850
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:05,719
Speaker 10: really long time. So Adam and I have been close

851
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 10: friends for It's hard to believe, but like maybe it

853
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:18,120

854
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 10: happened about my career. Like people I've met, experiences I've had,

855
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:24,960
Speaker 10: they're sort of always connected right to him. And and

856
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 10: he's my lyrical hero, my musical hero too. So it's

857
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 10: a beautiful kind of thing that is constantly surprising to

858
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 10: me that we're that Like I still listen to records, like,

859

860
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:39,439
Speaker 10: guy I'm gonna pal around with later. It's a whole

861

00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 10: and it did.

866
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 2: I feel like people need to be quiet.

867
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:55,760

Speaker 2: for the good news.

888
00:41:53,200 --> 00:42:00,879
Speaker 3: Pready Ray Santon was living in Washington a few years

889
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:03,200
Speaker 3: ago when he was working as a garbage man. He

890
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:06,399
Speaker 3: worked for a trash place and his coworkers are like, dude,

891
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:08,320
Speaker 3: you're so smart, you should go to college. He's like,

892
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 3: I had never really thought about going to college. And

893
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 3: they said, dude, we'll help you. So his coworkers gone

894
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:15,719
Speaker 3: online help him get the application. He enrolled into the

895
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 3: University of Maryland, got accepted. Then he graduated from there

896
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:21,439
Speaker 3: in twenty eighteen. He said, hey, why stop there, Let's

897
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:23,760
Speaker 3: go to law school. So he applies for law school

898
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 3: at Harvard and when he gets his acceptance letter, he

899
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:28,399
Speaker 3: shoots a video of it, puts it on social media.

900
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 2: This is crazy.

901
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 3: Tyler Perry, the filmmaker, sees the video says, whoa, this

902
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:33,880
Speaker 3: guy got accepted at Harvard.

903
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 2: I'll pay for his school.

904
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:35,520
Speaker 7: What.

905
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 2: So he goes to Harvard, gets his law degree. He's graduated.

906
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:41,839
Speaker 3: Now he works at a law firm in New York

907
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 3: City and he's raised over seventy thousand dollars to give

908
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:47,880
Speaker 3: back to Harvard janitors. I mean, this guy is amazing

909
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 3: here he is talking about it.

910
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:50,719
Speaker 2: And in my life was just based off of me

911
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:53,399
Speaker 2: being a community oriented individual. When I got that from

912
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:55,480
Speaker 2: my dad, my dad was like, just because you're going

913
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 2: through something doesn't mean that's an excuse not to help

914
00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:00,920
Speaker 2: somebody who can. So this is like eight, tell me

915
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 2: something goods in one probably goes up into the Hall

916
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:06,399
Speaker 2: of Fame. Tell me something good because his workers are like, dude,

917
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:07,839
Speaker 2: you got to go to college. And then they did

918
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:10,320
Speaker 2: some of the legwork to get that going. And so

919
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 2: he goes to University of Maryland, gets accepted, finishes there.

920
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:16,400
Speaker 2: There's your first there's your first two. That's huge the workers,

921
00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 2: and then graduate. Look at this guy, did he graduated? Okay? Cool?

922
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 2: Goes to Harvard, he goes to law school. That's three,

923
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 2: but but he doesn't pay for it. And Tyler Perry

924
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:29,239
Speaker 2: jumps in. That's four. And now he has donated back

1048
00:51:12,080 --> 00:51:14,279
Speaker 2: we're gonna hop over and talk to United States Marine

1049
00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:17,200
Speaker 2: Corps Corporal Aaron Mankin. In just second. He is in

1050
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:20,600
Speaker 2: our Hyundai Virtual green room. He is on with us

1051
00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:24,160
Speaker 2: from his place, his home. I'm gonna tell you he

1052
00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:27,560
Speaker 2: does not know that we're on with him to hopefully

1053
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:31,399
Speaker 2: build him a home. We've done this six times before

1054
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:35,840
Speaker 2: for different heroes that have served and have had catastrophic injury.

1055
00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:42,920
Speaker 2: Corporal Making has had seventy surgeries. He has and I'll

1056
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:45,120
Speaker 2: let him tell the story about the ied that hit him.

1057
00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:49,239
Speaker 2: And he's got kids, and he's had burns and amputation

1058
00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:54,719
Speaker 2: and lung damage serving us, serving this country. And so

1059
00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:57,000
Speaker 2: we have teamed up with building homes for heroes to

1060
00:51:57,080 --> 00:52:00,680
Speaker 2: help veteran the United States Marine Corps Corporal Aaron Mankon.

1061
00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:03,160
Speaker 2: We're going to build him a house. He does not

1062
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:05,600
Speaker 2: know that. So now we're going to connect him over

1063
00:52:05,719 --> 00:52:08,120
Speaker 2: so he doesn't hear that part. And he's on now

1064
00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:12,640
Speaker 2: and here he is on the Bobby Bones Show.

1065
00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:14,319
Speaker 9: Now, Marine Corporal Aaron.

1066

1070
00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:22,840
Speaker 2: First of all, from all of us, we appreciate your

1071
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:26,040
Speaker 2: service obviously, and I want to talk about why you join,

1072
00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:28,640
Speaker 2: when you join, and what happened to you specifically. And

1073
00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:30,959
Speaker 2: you know, I was going to be sensitive when talking

1074
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:33,360
Speaker 2: about what happened to you. So if I ask anything

1075
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:36,200

1076

1078
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:43,760
Speaker 9: it's important for people to not only hear my story,

1079
00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:47,200
Speaker 9: but the opportunity I've had to educate people about my

1080
00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:49,799
Speaker 9: experience and what it's like to come home.

1081
00:52:50,600 --> 00:52:53,920
Speaker 2: So you enlisted, what year and where'd you live?

1082
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:58,120
Speaker 9: So I enlisted out of my hometown here in Rogers, Arkansas,

1083
00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:01,040
Speaker 9: back in two thousand and three at the set of

1084
00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:02,759
Speaker 9: the war, and back then it was an or it

1085
00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:05,000
Speaker 9: was you know, Operation of Rocky Freedom, when we were

1086
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:08,200
Speaker 9: going to liberate the nation. So that resonated with me.

1087
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:11,480
Speaker 9: That spoke with me a lot. The idea of you know,

1088
00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:14,719
Speaker 9: the bush doctor explorting democracy and going out and helping

1089
00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:17,719
Speaker 9: the world in that way really really resonated with me,

1090
00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:19,640
Speaker 9: and I thought, you know, if I'm going to join

1091
00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:21,719
Speaker 9: the military, if if this is what my generation is

1092
00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:24,360
Speaker 9: going to do with this my generation's war, what what

1093
00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:26,879
Speaker 9: can I do that that I that I do well

1094
00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:29,640
Speaker 9: so that I could be an asset to my unit.

1095
00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:31,719
Speaker 9: And I didn't want to just be another pair of

1096
00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:34,560
Speaker 9: boots in the sand. So I took my skills as

1097
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:39,160
Speaker 9: a as a photographer and a storyteller and decided to

1098
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:42,680
Speaker 9: become a combat correspondent. So I started my training in

1099
00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:45,080
Speaker 9: deployed to a rock in two thousand and five, spent

1100
00:53:45,160 --> 00:53:48,239
Speaker 9: my time in Fallujah, and was there to tell the

1101
00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:49,080
Speaker 9: Marine Corps story.

1102
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:51,919
Speaker 2: What does that mean? Tell the Marine Corps story as

1103
00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:54,719
Speaker 2: someone that's in the Marine Corps? Are you telling it

1104
00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:58,080
Speaker 2: to people like us or are you telling it within both?

1105
00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:00,719
Speaker 9: Actually? So you know, I had a run one hand,

1106
00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:04,040
Speaker 9: a rifle in the other, and every Marine rifleman so

1107
00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:07,000
Speaker 9: and especially having you know, combat at the front of

1108
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:10,160
Speaker 9: my bill at my job is to be expected. And

1109
00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:14,000
Speaker 9: so I would write for I would write press releases

1110
00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:16,520
Speaker 9: for the general for the base newspaper, but then those

1111
00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:19,680
Speaker 9: were also released online and back here in the States,

1112
00:54:19,719 --> 00:54:23,799
Speaker 9: and I did videography. I did several reports that would

1113
00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:25,799
Speaker 9: come through the satellites out of Fallujah and then back

1114
00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:28,200
Speaker 9: to the States and wind up on the evening news.

1115
00:54:28,320 --> 00:54:31,920
Speaker 9: So you know, the Marine Corps story is very much

1116
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:34,800
Speaker 9: in large part of the American story. And so you know,

1117
00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:39,239
Speaker 9: just telling those those personal connections between the troops and

1118
00:54:40,320 --> 00:54:40,919
Speaker 9: the home front.

1119
00:54:41,160 --> 00:54:43,520
Speaker 2: Did you find the fulfillment that you were searching for

1120
00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:47,520
Speaker 2: whenever you went in to the service, into the Marines.

1121
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:50,120
Speaker 2: You had been there, you did your training, you were serving.

1122
00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:51,920
Speaker 2: Did you feel like this is what I was meant

1123
00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:52,719
Speaker 2: for while you were doing it?

1124
00:54:53,040 --> 00:54:56,840
Speaker 9: I really did. I really thought that not only was

1125
00:54:56,920 --> 00:55:00,480
Speaker 9: I in a place that spoke to me, fed me

1126
00:55:00,680 --> 00:55:03,919
Speaker 9: as an individual, where I could lean on my skill

1127
00:55:04,040 --> 00:55:08,040
Speaker 9: set and be valued within my unit and toward division.

1128
00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:10,680
Speaker 9: I did. I enjoyed it. Best job on the Marine Corps,

1129
00:55:10,920 --> 00:55:13,440
Speaker 9: hands down, best job. I mean, I loved it. I

1130
00:55:13,520 --> 00:55:16,600
Speaker 9: mean everything that the Marine Corps had its hands in,

1131
00:55:16,719 --> 00:55:19,920
Speaker 9: I had the opportunity to go and tell that story.

1132
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:22,720
Speaker 9: So if we were doing training and awesome high speed

1133
00:55:23,560 --> 00:55:28,160
Speaker 9: you know, helicopter operations or you know, mount training, or

1134
00:55:29,600 --> 00:55:32,920
Speaker 9: a celebrity would come on base to entertain the troops,

1135
00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:34,759
Speaker 9: if that's where the story was, and that's where I

1136
00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:36,759
Speaker 9: would be in order to tell it.

1137
00:55:37,120 --> 00:55:38,759
Speaker 2: So we had mentioned before you came on that you've

1138
00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:42,080
Speaker 2: undergone seventy surgeries throughout your recovery. But I do want

1139
00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:45,320
Speaker 2: to talk about what happened that has well made you

1140
00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:49,400
Speaker 2: have seventy surgeries. So what do you remember about the

1141
00:55:49,560 --> 00:55:51,320
Speaker 2: day it happened to kind of walk me through it?

1142
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:55,239
Speaker 9: I survived that blast. I walked away luckily. I don't

1143
00:55:55,280 --> 00:55:57,759
Speaker 9: know how I escaped it. Why to tell you the

1144
00:55:58,160 --> 00:55:59,880
Speaker 9: god honest truth. I mean, it took the lives of

1145
00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:04,720
Speaker 9: six marines and I walked away with no broken bones,

1146
00:56:04,800 --> 00:56:08,880
Speaker 9: no shrapnel really just a flesh wound. I had to

1147
00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:12,960
Speaker 9: give my face and my flesh and a few fingers,

1148
00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:16,120
Speaker 9: but you know, I had my life and got to

1149
00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:19,120
Speaker 9: walk away from it, and honestly, every day's been a

1150
00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:19,759
Speaker 9: blessing sense.

1151
00:56:20,040 --> 00:56:22,719
Speaker 2: Well, was it an ied that exploded a lot of

1152
00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:25,759
Speaker 2: times when you know, we talked to you know, people

1153
00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:28,680
Speaker 2: that have been injured in war, it's either an ID

1154
00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:31,440
Speaker 2: they didn't know they drove up on. Or is that

1155
00:56:31,480 --> 00:56:33,279
Speaker 2: what happened with you? Yes?

1156
00:56:33,680 --> 00:56:37,399
Speaker 9: Yeah, we were moving from one objective to the other

1157
00:56:38,120 --> 00:56:41,600
Speaker 9: in our track just happened to hit a stack mine

1158
00:56:41,920 --> 00:56:45,600
Speaker 9: through a twenty six ton vehicle filled with marines chow

1159
00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:48,960
Speaker 9: ammunition through us good ten feet in here boo boo

1160
00:56:49,120 --> 00:56:51,920
Speaker 9: can crash it back down. And we thought it was

1161
00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:53,880
Speaker 9: an ambush. We thought we were taking fire. But it

1162
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:56,279
Speaker 9: turns out that the heat was so intense inside the

1163
00:56:56,360 --> 00:56:58,319
Speaker 9: vehicle all of our art and that started to cook off.

1164
00:56:58,920 --> 00:57:01,400
Speaker 9: So all of our our knaves are flares or fifty

1165
00:57:01,480 --> 00:57:04,120
Speaker 9: calil everything started to cook off inside. It was chaos.

1166
00:57:04,239 --> 00:57:05,840
Speaker 2: When you say cook off, does that mean like like

1167
00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:08,319
Speaker 2: shoot off, like firework, like if a fireworks stand word

1168
00:57:08,360 --> 00:57:10,319
Speaker 2: to catch fire. But that's like it's like real, real

1169
00:57:10,400 --> 00:57:15,680
Speaker 2: stuff exactly. Oh man, So what happens then? As in

1170
00:57:16,040 --> 00:57:18,880
Speaker 2: what do you remember next? Are you do? Wake up

1171
00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:19,680
Speaker 2: in a hospital?

1172
00:57:21,120 --> 00:57:26,160
Speaker 9: So at that point, uh, I'm on fire inside the vehicle.

1173
00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:30,760
Speaker 9: I opened my eyes. I can see flashes of orange

1174
00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:34,440
Speaker 9: and the pitch black smoke. My first reaction was to

1175
00:57:34,640 --> 00:57:37,480
Speaker 9: just gasp, you know, just shocked, and I inhaled all

1176
00:57:37,560 --> 00:57:41,120
Speaker 9: this fire and debris, and later surgeons would dig out

1177
00:57:42,680 --> 00:57:49,560
Speaker 9: cardboard and glass out of my lungs, and panics set in,

1178
00:57:49,720 --> 00:57:52,480
Speaker 9: and I thought I gotta get out. And by that time,

1179
00:57:52,560 --> 00:57:54,560
Speaker 9: one of our sergeants had muscled open in the back hatch,

1180
00:57:55,680 --> 00:57:57,760
Speaker 9: and the smoke started to flood out. Daylight kind of

1181
00:57:57,800 --> 00:57:59,400
Speaker 9: trickled in and I found my try and I just

1182
00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:03,000
Speaker 9: dove and I just jumped out of the track. I

1183
00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:06,480
Speaker 9: landed in the road. I stopped and looked at myself

1184
00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:08,320
Speaker 9: and I was still on fire. And so I started

1185
00:58:08,360 --> 00:58:10,760
Speaker 9: to roll and roll and roll, and I couldn't I

1186
00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:14,560
Speaker 9: couldn't put myself out. I just, uh, you know, exhausted

1187
00:58:14,680 --> 00:58:18,440
Speaker 9: myself trying to extinguish myself, and and I thought this

1188
00:58:18,600 --> 00:58:21,840
Speaker 9: is it. And this piece came over me, and I thought, uh,

1189
00:58:21,960 --> 00:58:24,440
Speaker 9: this is how my story ends. And you know, they

1190
00:58:24,480 --> 00:58:28,120
Speaker 9: say your whole life flashes before your eyes. Ironically for

1191
00:58:28,240 --> 00:58:33,200
Speaker 9: me being a photographer, I just saw these like pictures.

1192
00:58:33,240 --> 00:58:35,240
Speaker 9: I just saw these little still frames of all the

1193
00:58:35,320 --> 00:58:37,080
Speaker 9: people in my life that meant the world to me.

1194
00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:40,400
Speaker 9: And as I was trying to hold on to him,

1195
00:58:41,040 --> 00:58:43,520
Speaker 9: I woke up to the sound of my fellow marine Jill,

1196
00:58:43,560 --> 00:58:45,960
Speaker 9: and put him out. Put him out, you know, they

1197
00:58:46,080 --> 00:58:48,120
Speaker 9: run over, They dive on top of me, and they're

1198
00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:50,720
Speaker 9: you know, kicking down on top of me, trying to

1199
00:58:50,760 --> 00:58:54,040
Speaker 9: put the flames out. And they do, and then it's

1200
00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:56,160
Speaker 9: like they just evaporated. It's like they just disappear and

1201
00:58:56,200 --> 00:58:58,600
Speaker 9: they all go to help other marines. And I wasn't

1202
00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:01,920
Speaker 9: wounded from the waist down. So I stood up and

1203
00:59:02,320 --> 00:59:04,320
Speaker 9: of course in shock, and I thought, you know, I

1204
00:59:04,400 --> 00:59:05,920
Speaker 9: need to get to my camera. I need to get

1205
00:59:05,960 --> 00:59:08,440
Speaker 9: to my mission. And so I started to walk back

1206
00:59:08,480 --> 00:59:11,480
Speaker 9: toward the track. And it was about then that our

1207
00:59:11,560 --> 00:59:14,320
Speaker 9: navy corman grabbed me by the collar and say, hey,

1208
00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:16,720
Speaker 9: you're hurt. You need to come with me. And that's

1209
00:59:16,720 --> 00:59:19,960
Speaker 9: really where the story of my recovery began. And I

1210
00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:24,720
Speaker 9: tell that story, you know, to different groups around the country,

1211
00:59:24,760 --> 00:59:27,800
Speaker 9: and and I'll i'll point that that part out specifically,

1212
00:59:27,840 --> 00:59:30,720
Speaker 9: and how often we'll walk around in life and not

1213
00:59:30,880 --> 00:59:33,560
Speaker 9: know how truly wounded we are and take someone else

1214
00:59:33,640 --> 00:59:36,120
Speaker 9: to come up to us and extend their hand and

1215
00:59:36,120 --> 00:59:39,800
Speaker 9: their help and their aid. So he gets me to

1216
00:59:39,920 --> 00:59:42,480
Speaker 9: the casualty collection point, and then they got to get

1217
00:59:42,520 --> 00:59:45,680
Speaker 9: me on the on the chopper, right, and it's like

1218
00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:47,600
Speaker 9: every war movie you've ever seen. Let's go get him

1219
00:59:47,600 --> 00:59:48,960
Speaker 9: on the chop bottle, let's go, you know. And they

1220
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:51,920
Speaker 9: load me up on the litter and they start running

1221
00:59:51,960 --> 00:59:55,040
Speaker 9: through a field to load me up onto the helicopter

1222
00:59:55,720 --> 00:59:58,600
Speaker 9: to our air support, and sure enough, you know, Murphy's

1223
00:59:58,600 --> 01:00:02,919
Speaker 9: a lot of things go wrong and somebody fill over

1224
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:04,760
Speaker 9: and I came tumbling out. Now I'm back on the

1225
01:00:04,800 --> 01:00:07,360
Speaker 9: ground and we were so close to the bird, I thought,

1226
01:00:07,520 --> 01:00:10,680
Speaker 9: you know, I'll just walk. So I started walking toward

1227
01:00:10,720 --> 01:00:12,680
Speaker 9: the bird and Oliver Eede start yelling at me, Hey.

1228
01:00:12,600 --> 01:00:13,760
Speaker 5: Hey, hey, let down, leat down.

1229
01:00:13,760 --> 01:00:15,520
Speaker 9: Your in shock. We got you come on here in shock.

1230
01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:18,920
Speaker 9: I'm like, I'm shocked that you dropped me right right,

1231
01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:22,120
Speaker 9: get this. Worried some morphine, so they got me out

1232
01:00:22,160 --> 01:00:23,960
Speaker 9: the bird and got me out of there. They knocked

1233
01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:27,400
Speaker 9: me out and then I woke up about two days

1234
01:00:27,480 --> 01:00:28,640
Speaker 9: later in San Antonio.

1235
01:00:30,040 --> 01:00:32,400
Speaker 2: So you're in San Antonio and that's where they start

1236
01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:37,640
Speaker 2: to really work physically through your recovery. Second third degree

1237
01:00:37,720 --> 01:00:43,080
Speaker 2: burns to your arms and your face, ambuitated fingers PTSD,

1238
01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:45,400
Speaker 2: lung damage. I'm assuming the lung damage is from when

1239
01:00:45,440 --> 01:00:47,640
Speaker 2: you were breathing in and the fire. That's all you

1240
01:00:47,680 --> 01:00:51,520
Speaker 2: took in there. Yes, so physically it has been extremely tough.

1241
01:00:51,640 --> 01:00:54,880
Speaker 2: Seventy surgeries that so, yeah, when you can't even remember

1242
01:00:54,880 --> 01:00:57,320
Speaker 2: every star, there's no way I remember seventy surgeries and

1243
01:00:57,400 --> 01:00:59,080
Speaker 2: you can't even remember every surgery. That's how you know.

1244
01:00:59,160 --> 01:01:01,720
Speaker 2: You've had a lot of surgeries, right right, Aaron?

1245
01:01:03,960 --> 01:01:04,200
Speaker 9: Sure?

1246
01:01:04,720 --> 01:01:06,640
Speaker 2: And so here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna work

1247
01:01:06,640 --> 01:01:09,160
Speaker 2: together with building homes for Heroes, and our goal is

1248
01:01:09,360 --> 01:01:13,760
Speaker 2: to repay you and it'll never actually be repayment for

1249
01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:16,160
Speaker 2: what you gave to this country. And our goal is

1250
01:01:16,240 --> 01:01:19,880
Speaker 2: to simply build a house. Building a house that is

1251
01:01:21,200 --> 01:01:24,600
Speaker 2: easier for you to live in, easier for what you're

1252
01:01:24,680 --> 01:01:28,920
Speaker 2: going through, easier for your family. And so what we're

1316
01:04:26,640 --> 01:04:28,720
Speaker 2: drop off food order starting in twenty twenty six. I

1317
01:04:28,760 --> 01:04:30,840
Speaker 2: saw one in La. It's so legiti that these things

1318
01:04:30,840 --> 01:04:32,840
Speaker 2: are killing people. Dude, it freaked me out. I thought

1319
01:04:32,880 --> 01:04:33,760
Speaker 2: somebody was following me.

1320
01:04:33,800 --> 01:04:35,280
Speaker 3: I turned around as a robot and I had food

1321
01:04:35,320 --> 01:04:39,320
Speaker 3: in its little clause crazy going down the sidewalk.

1322
01:04:40,240 --> 01:04:40,720
Speaker 1: It's crazy.

1323
01:04:40,800 --> 01:04:42,200
Speaker 2: It freaked all of us out. Me and my wife

1324
01:04:42,200 --> 01:04:43,720
Speaker 2: and my son were like, whoa, what is that thing?

1325
01:04:43,880 --> 01:04:46,160
Speaker 2: Where's your picture of video? Yeah, I didn't even think

1326
01:04:46,160 --> 01:04:49,080
Speaker 2: about it. Well, you video everything, and you don't video that.

1327
01:04:49,280 --> 01:04:51,400
Speaker 3: I was on social media. You know he talks, but

1328
01:04:51,480 --> 01:04:54,560
Speaker 3: you still record stuff. Well, I just forgot about it.

1329
01:04:55,200 --> 01:04:58,440
Speaker 2: Is Uber eats is throwing out two thousand of these

1330
01:04:58,480 --> 01:05:01,560

1331
01:05:01,880 --> 01:05:04,840
Speaker 2: They'll be available in the app. If you select it,

1332
01:05:05,120 --> 01:05:07,600
Speaker 2: the robot brings you your food and I'm telling you,

1333
01:05:07,720 --> 01:05:09,760
Speaker 2: it's a great idea until all of a sudden robot

1334
01:05:09,880 --> 01:05:16,200
Speaker 2: not happy. Yeah. Shoot, but yeah, I'm looking at pictures

1335
01:05:16,200 --> 01:05:18,920
Speaker 2: of them now, and that is bizarre. But in that

1336
01:05:19,000 --> 01:05:22,160
Speaker 2: hotel we were in once in Vegas, the robots brought

1337
01:05:22,160 --> 01:05:23,720
Speaker 2: you the food, but all that just went to the elevator,

1338
01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:26,439
Speaker 2: up the elevator to your room. That's still bizarre. Yeah,

1339
01:05:27,120 --> 01:05:28,800
Speaker 2: but this is like driving across the city on you

1340
01:05:28,880 --> 01:05:30,360
Speaker 2: seen one on the in the on the street. The

1341
01:05:30,440 --> 01:05:33,880
Speaker 2: sidewalk is nuts. That's crazy. That's pretty cool though, it

1342
01:05:34,040 --> 01:05:37,160
Speaker 2: was cool. That's pretty cool. Pile of stories.

1343
01:05:37,320 --> 01:05:40,080
Speaker 7: Do you feel like your driver's license or your passport

1344
01:05:40,280 --> 01:05:44,160
Speaker 7: like represents you? Like if you show your fate aport,

1345
01:05:44,200 --> 01:05:45,360
Speaker 7: they're like, oh, you're the same person.

1346
01:05:45,640 --> 01:05:48,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, because on my driver's license they let me wear

1347
01:05:48,480 --> 01:05:52,120
Speaker 2: my glasses which they weren't supposed to. Really, oh special treatment,

1348
01:05:52,200 --> 01:05:55,520
Speaker 2: huh yeah, celebrity style. Wow, that's cool. Yeah, it's pretty cool.

1349
01:05:55,560 --> 01:05:57,120
Speaker 2: And be honest with you, I like it. And then

1350
01:05:57,120 --> 01:05:59,400
Speaker 2: you're gonna act like, but my passport on a serial

1351
01:05:59,520 --> 01:06:02,400
Speaker 2: killer for her no glasses, I'm like, because they tell

1352
01:06:02,440 --> 01:06:05,280
Speaker 2: you not to smile, yea, They're like, don't smile, no, glasses.

1353
01:06:05,400 --> 01:06:08,040
Speaker 2: It looks like I'm like middle easing the bathroom my face.

1354
01:06:08,360 --> 01:06:09,480
Speaker 2: So one yes, one no.

1355
01:06:09,920 --> 01:06:12,800
Speaker 7: Well, there was this one girl that was sharing how

1356
01:06:13,360 --> 01:06:16,000
Speaker 7: she got real done up for her passport photo and

1357
01:06:16,120 --> 01:06:18,760
Speaker 7: she had on the makeup, the hair, all the things,

1358
01:06:18,880 --> 01:06:22,360
Speaker 7: and then when she went to fly early in the morning,

1359
01:06:22,600 --> 01:06:23,080
Speaker 7: rolled out of.

1360
01:06:23,080 --> 01:06:25,120
Speaker 2: Bed, funny that ain't you no makeup?

1361
01:06:26,080 --> 01:06:29,600
Speaker 7: And yeah, she got pulled aside by the TSA agent

1362
01:06:29,760 --> 01:06:31,960
Speaker 7: and claiming you're not her.

1363
01:06:32,400 --> 01:06:35,000
Speaker 2: So I guess the move would be to do medium.

1364
01:06:35,720 --> 01:06:37,560
Speaker 2: So if you're one way or the other, if you're

1365
01:06:37,640 --> 01:06:38,800
Speaker 2: like going to prom, but you had to get to

1366
01:06:38,800 --> 01:06:41,240
Speaker 2: the airport first, if they still know, and also if

1367
01:06:41,280 --> 01:06:43,240
Speaker 2: you just wake up and no makeup, this is probably

1368
01:06:43,280 --> 01:06:46,520
Speaker 2: just like medium makeup. Don't go full dolly.

1369
01:06:46,680 --> 01:06:50,040
Speaker 3: Have you ever seen mine? No, it's it's so stupid.

1370
01:06:50,160 --> 01:06:52,240
Speaker 3: I have I have a fool beard. Yeah, I mean

1371
01:06:52,320 --> 01:06:54,280
Speaker 3: it's like James Harden goes down to the bottom of

1372
01:06:54,320 --> 01:06:54,720
Speaker 3: my neck.

1373
01:06:54,680 --> 01:06:56,400
Speaker 2: If James Harden was from the valley.

1374
01:06:57,720 --> 01:06:59,920
Speaker 3: It's ridiculous. Every single time I go to the airport,

1375
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:03,560
Speaker 3: they do like three takes. Okay too, it's a weird

1376
01:07:03,600 --> 01:07:05,840
Speaker 3: time to take a picture. So whenever you're doing something

1377
01:07:05,880 --> 01:07:07,840
Speaker 3: with your face or body or hair. That isn't common

1378
01:07:07,960 --> 01:07:09,480
Speaker 3: because you know you're gonna get out of it. One time,

1379
01:07:09,640 --> 01:07:12,440
Speaker 3: Morgan number one died her hair blonde for a group picture. Yeah,

1380
01:07:12,480 --> 01:07:13,760
Speaker 3: you bring that up a lot, and I was like,

1381
01:07:15,160 --> 01:07:17,959
Speaker 3: then you got to stay blonde like she It was blonde, blonde.

1382
01:07:18,040 --> 01:07:18,680
Speaker 3: Usually it's brown.

1383
01:07:18,920 --> 01:07:20,960

Speaker 6: like we were.

1398
01:07:44,360 --> 01:07:46,040
Speaker 2: Yeah. Mostly now they maybe pay for it myself and

1399
01:07:46,040 --> 01:07:47,720
Speaker 2: I just give them mine. Oh that's why we haven't

Speaker 2: I gotta pay for my own, all right. What else for.

1402
01:07:52,400 --> 01:07:55,680
Speaker 7: Anybody that's dating, it takes nineteen minutes for someone to

1403
01:07:55,800 --> 01:07:58,560
Speaker 7: know if they want a second date, and the top

1404
01:07:58,640 --> 01:08:02,160
Speaker 7: things people are looking for manners, personality.

1405
01:08:02,200 --> 01:08:03,480
Speaker 2: I can tell you a manner is not the first

1406
01:08:03,520 --> 01:08:06,360
Speaker 2: thing that's looked for by dudes. That may be the

1407
01:08:06,400 --> 01:08:08,800
Speaker 2: first answer they give, but it ain't the first thing.

1408
01:08:08,840 --> 01:08:10,840
Speaker 2: Go ahead, Okay, what does the person you look for?

1409
01:08:11,520 --> 01:08:14,440
Speaker 2: I have a wife and she's beautiful, and she's the

1410
01:08:14,480 --> 01:08:16,439
Speaker 2: only person I've ever wanted to date a second time.

1411
01:08:18,520 --> 01:08:22,439
Speaker 7: Okay, Personality comes in, like, listen to somebody that's friendly

1412
01:08:22,520 --> 01:08:24,600
Speaker 7: and you can actually talk, Yeah, conversations.

1413
01:08:24,960 --> 01:08:26,719
Speaker 2: I mean, you don't want to go on a second

1414
01:08:26,800 --> 01:08:30,000
Speaker 2: day with somebody just because they're hot. Like that definitely

1415
01:08:30,120 --> 01:08:32,280
Speaker 2: helps if you're attracted to them. But if you're attracted

1416
01:08:32,320 --> 01:08:34,560
Speaker 2: to them and you sit down and you're like, I

1417
01:08:34,600 --> 01:08:36,080
Speaker 2: don't know what to say to you, Like we don't

1418
01:08:36,080 --> 01:08:38,360
Speaker 2: have anything in common. You no personality, Like that's got

1419
01:08:38,479 --> 01:08:38,920
Speaker 2: to be first.

1420
01:08:39,240 --> 01:08:41,160
Speaker 6: Oh, at what point for you?

1421
01:08:41,400 --> 01:08:44,479
Speaker 7: Because I assume maybe when Caitlin Sains that's the only

1422
01:08:44,520 --> 01:08:47,200
Speaker 7: person you've gone out with, she didn't know you were

1423
01:08:47,200 --> 01:08:49,040
Speaker 7: a radio personality, So she didn't know you were a

1424
01:08:49,080 --> 01:08:51,720
Speaker 7: talker on air because like the difference, you don't really

1425
01:08:51,800 --> 01:08:53,000
Speaker 7: talk that much off air.

1426
01:08:53,640 --> 01:08:56,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, but we had a mutual friend, her friend.

1427
01:08:56,800 --> 01:08:58,760
Speaker 6: From Oklahoma, so she didn't have to figure out the

1428
01:08:58,800 --> 01:08:59,280
Speaker 6: two sends you.

1429
01:08:59,320 --> 01:09:01,880
Speaker 2: I wouldn't even try to date. Oh, she just met

1430
01:09:01,920 --> 01:09:03,320
Speaker 2: me as like a person. We didn't go on a

1431
01:09:03,400 --> 01:09:04,519
Speaker 2: date forever, months and months.

1432
01:09:04,640 --> 01:09:06,360
Speaker 6: Okay, But on the first date, are you talkative?

1433
01:09:07,160 --> 01:09:08,640
Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, I'm on. Maybe let's get right.

1434
01:09:08,640 --> 01:09:10,680
Speaker 6: But when you do you reveal it.

1435
01:09:10,880 --> 01:09:11,960
Speaker 2: Best representative, let's go.

1436
01:09:12,240 --> 01:09:14,240
Speaker 6: When do you reveal that you dial it down with

1437
01:09:14,320 --> 01:09:15,320
Speaker 6: the talking good question?

1438
01:09:16,479 --> 01:09:20,040
Speaker 2: About third of the way to the first date, I'm like, hey,

1439
01:09:20,520 --> 01:09:22,479
Speaker 2: like this, you just shut down. It isn't gonna go down.

1440
01:09:23,880 --> 01:09:24,800
Speaker 2: The power runs out.

1441
01:09:25,200 --> 01:09:27,439
Speaker 7: Yeah, go ahead, Well nineteen minutes, that's all you got

1442
01:09:27,479 --> 01:09:29,880
Speaker 7: and you can figure it out. Kenny Chesney was talking

1443
01:09:29,880 --> 01:09:33,800
Speaker 7: about how he keeps his mental health in check, and

1444
01:09:34,040 --> 01:09:38,160
Speaker 7: there's three things that he's doing. Breath work, heat, so

1445
01:09:38,240 --> 01:09:40,720
Speaker 7: I assume some sort of wedding sauna.

1446
01:09:40,600 --> 01:09:46,320
Speaker 2: Situation and then he no, ser no problem.

1447
01:09:47,439 --> 01:09:49,400
Speaker 7: In addition to the breath and the heat, he is

1448
01:09:49,560 --> 01:09:53,200
Speaker 7: very much into the ice baths like everybody else, but

1449
01:09:53,280 --> 01:09:55,320
Speaker 7: he says he keeps one right outside his bus every day,

1450
01:09:55,680 --> 01:09:57,760
Speaker 7: pops in and it's the best thing for him.

1451
01:09:58,400 --> 01:10:00,559
Speaker 2: Ice bath will different than a cool plant. I guess

1452
01:10:00,680 --> 01:10:03,040
Speaker 2: ice bath you can get into if your body is

1453
01:10:03,680 --> 01:10:05,680
Speaker 2: inflamed a lot of inflammation, you get the ice bath

1454
01:10:05,840 --> 01:10:08,640
Speaker 2: used to have, you know, the athletic actually get an

1455
01:10:08,640 --> 01:10:11,439
Speaker 2: ice bath that hated injuries. Ice bath inflammation out the

1456
01:10:11,680 --> 01:10:15,040
Speaker 2: cool The thing that's the stupidest thing is the stupidest thing.

1457
01:10:16,040 --> 01:10:19,120
Speaker 2: I well, yes, it's so dumb. Here's why. First of all,

1458
01:10:19,160 --> 01:10:20,840
Speaker 2: there's not the scientific about it really that tells you

1459
01:10:21,120 --> 01:10:23,320
Speaker 2: that it's doing anything for your body. And trust me,

1460
01:10:23,360 --> 01:10:25,280
Speaker 2: I've done a lot of research on this because i

1461
01:10:25,360 --> 01:10:27,479
Speaker 2: just love to prove people wrong. So I was with

1462
01:10:27,640 --> 01:10:29,439
Speaker 2: Jake Oh and we were away and he was like,

1463
01:10:29,520 --> 01:10:31,320
Speaker 2: get the cold plunge, and I'm like, what's the purpose?

1464
01:10:31,320 --> 01:10:32,800
Speaker 2: He goes gonna make it feel better? I'm like, why

1465
01:10:32,800 --> 01:10:34,599
Speaker 2: it to go? You usually accomplish something in the morning,

1466
01:10:34,840 --> 01:10:36,840
Speaker 2: and I'm like, I accomplished plenty all day. I'm good.

1467
01:10:37,120 --> 01:10:39,000
Speaker 2: He's like, oh, you'll just feel like you're a better person.

1468
01:10:39,040 --> 01:10:41,639
Speaker 2: You'd be like whoa. And so I'm like, okay, fine, whatever,

1469
01:10:42,040 --> 01:10:45,160
Speaker 2: And so knocks on my door like six thirty in

1470
01:10:45,200 --> 01:10:46,040
Speaker 2: the morning, and we got to go.

1471
01:10:46,120 --> 01:10:46,400
Speaker 5: In the morning.

1472
01:10:46,800 --> 01:10:48,479
Speaker 2: I'd rather slept in why can't we do the cold

1473
01:10:48,520 --> 01:10:51,479
Speaker 2: plunch at noon in the morning though, really get you going?

1474
01:10:52,000 --> 01:10:53,760
Speaker 2: And then it's like, don't you feel good you accomplish that,

1475
01:10:54,720 --> 01:10:57,720
Speaker 2: And I'm like, I know I could accomplish that at

1476
01:10:57,720 --> 01:10:59,760
Speaker 2: three pm. I could have accomplish more sleep for me.

1477
01:11:00,120 --> 01:11:01,840
Speaker 2: And he's like, y'all, but it really get your engine going.

1478
01:11:01,920 --> 01:11:03,719
Speaker 2: I'm like, that's not scientific. There's no engine.

1479
01:11:04,479 --> 01:11:07,200
Speaker 7: So the I had a doctor on my podcast, he's

1480
01:11:07,439 --> 01:11:09,800
Speaker 7: super popular, doctor Mark Hyen, and he said, the top

1481
01:11:09,840 --> 01:11:12,640
Speaker 7: two things if you could recommend to people for longevity

1482
01:11:12,880 --> 01:11:14,640
Speaker 7: and hacking your body.

1483
01:11:14,520 --> 01:11:16,920
Speaker 2: Is two things and two things that are very vague,

1484
01:11:17,000 --> 01:11:18,200
Speaker 2: longevity and hacking your body.

1485
01:11:18,280 --> 01:11:18,400
Speaker 8: Right.

1486
01:11:18,439 --> 01:11:20,320
Speaker 6: No, well he's talking. He likes to look at your

1487
01:11:20,360 --> 01:11:21,080
Speaker 6: own body.

1488
01:11:21,080 --> 01:11:22,640
Speaker 2: By the way, I'm my body hacked, like you.

1489
01:11:22,680 --> 01:11:25,200
Speaker 7: Have your chronological age, but then also your biological age,

1490
01:11:25,280 --> 01:11:25,920
Speaker 7: like you can change it.

1491
01:11:25,960 --> 01:11:27,080
Speaker 6: He's like, you can get younger.

1492
01:11:27,160 --> 01:11:29,719
Speaker 7: And the top two things I tell people, obviously, besides

1493
01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:31,600
Speaker 7: you know food and whatnot.

1494
01:11:31,680 --> 01:11:33,439
Speaker 2: Is ruth and whatnot. I'm going with whatnot?

1495
01:11:33,560 --> 01:11:34,880
Speaker 6: We no, these are the two things.

1496
01:11:35,120 --> 01:11:39,479
Speaker 7: Whatnot means like obviously you you exercise, you eat certain things.

1497
01:11:39,680 --> 01:11:44,120
Speaker 7: But he said heat through sauna and cold punch.

1498
01:11:44,920 --> 01:11:46,640
Speaker 2: And what's the benefit of the cold punch other than

1499
01:11:46,720 --> 01:11:50,920
Speaker 2: saying I got up in the morning and accomplished.

1500
01:11:51,160 --> 01:11:53,680
Speaker 6: In your research. Did it bring up that it stimulates

1501
01:11:53,880 --> 01:11:54,760
Speaker 6: the vagus.

1502
01:11:54,520 --> 01:11:57,040
Speaker 2: Nerve, you know, not the Vegas nerve, not the Reno nerve,

1503
01:11:57,160 --> 01:11:59,960
Speaker 2: not the Sacramento nerve. None of those cities in the West,

1504
01:12:00,240 --> 01:12:01,519
Speaker 2: none of those nerves were affected.

1505
01:12:01,720 --> 01:12:02,000
Speaker 6: Okay.

1506
01:12:02,320 --> 01:12:02,519
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1507
01:12:03,439 --> 01:12:05,519
Speaker 2: My resource is like ten articles, a couple of podcasts,

1508
01:12:05,760 --> 01:12:07,760
Speaker 2: and I'm a doctor too, so that's a good point.

1509
01:12:08,520 --> 01:12:11,000
Speaker 2: That doctor on your podcast. Yeah, this doctor on your podcast.

1510
01:12:11,280 --> 01:12:12,639
Speaker 2: I'll tell you a lot of stuff about the Vegas

1511
01:12:12,720 --> 01:12:15,640
Speaker 2: nerves well known. Yeah, of letters, give me letters. Let

1512

1514
01:12:24,200 --> 01:12:28,320
Speaker 2: battle sounds. Anyway, go plenty of stupid All right, what

1515
01:12:28,400 --> 01:12:28,640
Speaker 2: is that it?

1516
01:12:29,400 --> 01:12:30,160
Speaker 6: Maybe that's my pile.

1517
01:12:31,160 --> 01:12:34,720
Speaker 2: That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the

1518
01:12:34,800 --> 01:12:42,040
Speaker 2: good news. Bobby Lucas Smith this five year old in Wisconsin.

1519
01:12:42,280 --> 01:12:44,600
Speaker 2: He has turned a community service project into something he

1520
01:12:44,760 --> 01:12:47,519
Speaker 2: does all the time. Now He's pledged a craft a

1521
01:12:47,640 --> 01:12:50,639
Speaker 2: handmade birthday card for every kid in a small town

1522
01:12:50,880 --> 01:12:54,880
Speaker 2: that is in central Wisconsin. Now, his mom talks about it, says, well,

1523
01:12:54,960 --> 01:12:57,040
Speaker 2: he was doing some community service hours, not because he

1524
01:12:57,080 --> 01:12:59,040
Speaker 2: was in trouble, which just happened to let's be honest,

1525
01:12:59,080 --> 01:13:03,439
Speaker 2: some of our friends, but because he just wanted to

1526
01:13:03,600 --> 01:13:06,680
Speaker 2: do something for the town and he was gonna get

1527
01:13:06,800 --> 01:13:09,960
Speaker 2: like a bonus points at school as well. But he

1528
01:13:10,080 --> 01:13:12,120
Speaker 2: found that by giving back it made him feel better.

1529
01:13:12,320 --> 01:13:14,760
Speaker 2: And so that's what he does, is he does these

1530
01:13:14,800 --> 01:13:18,360
Speaker 2: birthday cards, makes all of them personalized to each kid

1531
01:13:18,400 --> 01:13:20,080
Speaker 2: he gives it to, and he's like, if this is

1532
01:13:20,160 --> 01:13:22,920
Speaker 2: my little way of doing it, then I'm effecting the

1533
01:13:22,960 --> 01:13:25,400
Speaker 2: world in a positive way. Again, he's only five years old. Wow,

1534
01:13:25,439 --> 01:13:27,439
Speaker 2: it's amazing. He's not playing video games in the free time.
