Speaker 3: Yeah? I think my wife and if you know the story,

62
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 3: like we we kind of went through all this together.

63
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 3: It's it's been cool.

64
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 2: Let's talk about your job. Yeah, being a vocalist. A

65
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 2: lot of fans of artists don't understand what it's like

66
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 2: being a vocalist. Sure, and then when you have a

67
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 2: tour going on and you're your set list are getting

68
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 2: longer and longer, you've got vocal cords, you have, you

69
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 2: have a throat that has to be working at all times.

70
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 2: Don't answer that. I didn't ask a question. Being a

71
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 2: vocalist can be can be rough. I mean if you're

72
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 2: on the road and then you hit some notes that

73
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 2: were are restraining you, and then maybe you have to

74
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 2: like take a day off and you're like, well, yeah,

75
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 2: people don't understand that. Explain to you the science. To

76
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 2: explain to me the science of what you do for

77
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 2: a living and how you have to keep an eye

78
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:28,519
Speaker 2: on sure.

79
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 3: I mean I wasn't always like a good singer like

80
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 3: I you're just.

81
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 2: Saying you're a good singer.

82
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 3: Now, I would say I'm somewhat decent.

83
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 2: Hope, So.

84
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: He came on to be insulted today.

85
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 3: No, I I've been doing vocal lessons like three times

86
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 3: a week for a very long time. And but to

87
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 3: answer your thing, yeah, it's it's an instrument, but it's

88
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 3: also a muscle. I think with you know, if you

89
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 3: work out every single day consistently straining yourself, eventually you're

90
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,839
Speaker 3: gonna wake up in your arms feel like jello. So yeah,

91
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 3: you do shows every day, Like sometimes we'll go with

92
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 3: five shows in a row, seven shows in a row,

93
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 3: and at the end of it you're like, oh my gosh,

94
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 3: I need to not talk, and so I'll spend days

95
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 3: not talking just to get my voice back.

96
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: I bet your wife loves that.

97
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 3: She actually hates it with a passion. Yeah, communicating is

98
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 3: really that. I have a phone app on my phone

99
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 3: that I talk, and I love vocal resting. I am

100
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 3: so obsessed with it. Not talking is my favorite thing

101
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 3: in the world.

102
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 2: Well you've come to the right place.

103
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, but but truly, Yeah, it's been. It's it's definitely

104
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 3: interesting because I growing up, I was like, oh, like,

105
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 3: these people can sing their hearts off all these things,

106
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 3: and it's like, no, there's so much like resting and

107
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 3: lessons to sing correctly so you don't lose your voice.

108
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 3: There's a lot that goes into it that I did

109
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 3: not realize. And what you eat heavily affects how you sound.

110
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 2: As in the acids like tomatoes and things like that.

111
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, acidic foods like you think, like a lot

112
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 3: of I just eat chicken and corn when I sing,

113
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 3: no joke, it's all eight.

114
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: Get bored it.

115
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 3: No, I don't care about food really that much.

116
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 2: Oh my god, get out of here. Yeah yeah, yeah,

117
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 2: bunch of goombabs. We like Italian food. Yeah, you know,

118
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 2: I'm just I just had a thought. I don't have

119
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:12,799
Speaker 2: any artist names, but people artists, vocal artists who train constantly.

120
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 2: I wonder how their voices evolve over the course of

121
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 2: their careers. Like I wonder how many artists you can

122
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 2: listen to from the beginning of their career and then maybe,

123
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,919
Speaker 2: let's say ten years later, they have this new richness

124
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 2: to their voice. They perfected it.

125
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 5: I mean, Eddy Swims is one of those people. Why

126
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 5: what a perfect voice he already has right, right, but

127
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 5: he used to not be that great apparently, Like that's

128
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 5: what he says a lot. Like he's always like, oh well,

129
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 5: I had to work really hard, and it's interesting, like

130
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 5: a lot.

131
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 3: Of you have to put your voice through a lot

132
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 3: of trauma to get it to like really cooperate, I guess,

133
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 3: like comparative to where I am now a year ago.

134
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 3: Like it's a fully different vocal, which is really really cool,

135
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 3: and it just comes down with raps and your voice

136
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 3: gets used to it, and then everything gets easier and

137
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 3: you get a lot of flexibility in your voice, which

138
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 3: is kind of boring when you you kind of want

139
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 3: to think of a singer as like just naturally gifted,

140
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 3: bored and singer. But a lot of times, a lot

141
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 3: of it's learned.

142
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 2: Wow, why want everyone who is listening, who even following

143
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 2: an artist for a while, go back to their earlier

144
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 2: stuff and listen to their stuff now? See if you

145
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 2: can tell the differently.

146
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean lous Capaldi's always sound the same, though.

147
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 3: I love Batman is so talented.

148
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 4: He's he's back in the seat again right, performed somewhere recently.

149
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: So we're hoping that's real.

150
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 3: Yes, that it seems to be like it's just random

151
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 3: old performances and people just go back.

152
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,359
Speaker 1: I mean he's shown up somewhere the other day. He

153
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: actually stuck around and like really, and then I had

154
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 1: yet to meet that man.

155
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 3: I want to meet him.

156
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 2: This guy, we've had him on a few times. He's nicety,

157
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 2: a sweetheart, just turning as on. Alex Warren is here.

00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 2: going to talk about the too. Were gonna talk about

160
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 2: a lot of suff going to talk about jingle Ball, yes,

161
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 2: because I've already offered sexual favors to Alex and I

162
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 2: politely accepted a nice guy.

163
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 6: So for people who don't know your life, Storry, you

164
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 6: were sort of talking. You mentioned it quickly earlier, the

165
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 6: story of you and your wife. Yeah, it's a fascinating story.

166
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 6: You guys, you started a high house, right, I was

167
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 6: part of it, you're part of it. You were there

168
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 6: for a while creating music, and then the two of

169
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 6: you decided to leave. Yeah, and where did you go

170
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 6: from there?

171
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 3: Downhill?

172
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 2: No?

173
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 3: I yeah, I know. We I created it with my

174
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 3: friend and it was just a fun time. But like

175
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 3: growing up, I always wanted to be a musician and

176
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 3: everyone just told me it was impossible. I wasn't that

177
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 3: amazing of a singer. And one day I posted a

178
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 3: singing video on the toilet and it blew up, and.

179
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 2: The toilet blew up very well.

180
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 3: Could the chicken side effect of oziampic is absolutely killing

181
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:47,559
Speaker 3: your Okay, so I'm sorry, yeah, yeah, But the video

182
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 3: got like timbion used. The next day, it was on

183
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 3: some random side account, and I finally was like, oh

184
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 3: my gosh, I could actually, you know, possibly be a musician.

185
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 3: This would be really cool. I put out a song

186
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 3: I wrote about the loss of my father and it

187
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 3: did really well, and the rest is history.

188
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 2: Let me ask you this. Look, I'm much older than you, obviously,

189
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 2: and both of my parents are gone. Okay, they were

190
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 2: around long enough to see me do pretty well in

191
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 2: my chosen field.

192
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 3: Whatever this is must be nice, do you? Okay?

193
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 2: Probably pretty much? To answer my question, yeah, No, but

194
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 2: I mean, do you I don't want to get too crazy,

195
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 2: but do you find yourself chasing them in your dreams,

196
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 2: going hey, look what I'm doing here and hoping that

197
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 2: if they were still here it would change the dynamic

198
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 2: of that relationship.

199
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,439
Speaker 3: Yes. And it's something I struggle with a lot, because truthfully,

200
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 3: I have everything I have today because I lost them.

201
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 3: So it's crazy to think that I have the perfect

202
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 3: wife and the perfect life and the trade off was

203
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 3: giving up the two most important people in my life.

204
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 2: Well, this is what I'm thinking about, and I want

205
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 2: people to understand that through grief and through loss, you

206
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 2: have to recognize what you gain.

207
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 3: Yeah. I don't think you get to pick. I don't

208
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 3: think you get to pick the things you lose in life,

209
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 3: and I think that's the reason why you appreciate the

210
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 3: things you have. That's the hardest part about it is

211
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 3: really like, I'm very grateful to be alive. I'm very

212
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 3: grateful to the career I have, I'm very grateful for

213
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 3: the wins I've been able to accomplish, but I've also

214
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 3: had to give up a lot of things to be here.

215
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 3: And that's the trade off. I guess you have in

216
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 3: life and how you can. I don't think I would

217
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 3: appreciate anything I have in my life right now if

218
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 3: I didn't lose them. I also don't think i'd be

219
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:27,679
Speaker 3: the human I am today, nor would I have met

220
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,079
Speaker 3: my wife or had a career. And so those are

221
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 3: things that, sadly, you have to live with when you

222
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 3: go through life.

223
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 2: Was it Stephen Colbert who was being interviewed by CNN

224
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 2: Anderson Cooper. They were talking about grief, right and he

225
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 2: said this line when it really stabbed me in the

226
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 2: heart in a great way. Stephen Colbert said, you must

227
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 2: be just as grateful and thankful for the awful, devastating

228
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,679
Speaker 2: things that happened to you in life as you should

229
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 2: be for all the wonderful, wonderful, brightly colored things happened

230
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 2: to you in life. And I think unless we stop,

231
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 2: unless we unless we totally forget to stop and think

232
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 2: about that, and it's all for naught. But you're saying,

233
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 2: and you're acknowledging right here in front of all seven

234
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 2: of our listeners, that that you know going to lass

235
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 2: you gotta you gotta, you gotta be thankful for it too.

236
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, And don't get me wrong, there's still parts of me.

237
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 3: I mean, I write songs about this all the time

238
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 3: and I cry about it all the time. And it's

239
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 3: been it's been years. I've lost my dad when I

240
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 3: was nine, and my mom drank herself to death right after.

241
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:34,959
Speaker 3: And I think that's something where it's it's definitely hard

242
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 3: knowing that, like you know, I don't have that supports

243
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 3: in my life. But also, like you know, my kids

244
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 3: are going to grow up without the grandparents, and I

245
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 3: think that's always always a difficult thing. But at least

246
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 3: I am gonna play jingle Ball.

247
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 2: Okay, let's talk about that. Okay, I was talking to

248
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 2: about it, And let me give you several reasons why

249
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,319
Speaker 2: we have to have Alex Warren at jingle Ball. That

250
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 2: number one number one. He's festive as f on stage.

253
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 2: kind of ups and downs and tell stories. I don't

254
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 2: know if you know you do this. Probably you're not

255
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 2: even conscious about what you do on stage. I don't know.

256
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 2: You're great on stage. Thank you, music's great.

257

Speaker 2: People like your spirit and that's we need you because

00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,559
Speaker 2: otherwise it's going to fail miserably this year. God, that's

260
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 2: a lot of pressure.

261

336
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 3: me they're expensive.

00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 2: I don't think.

339
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: No, I don't think so.

340
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 2: Cheaper than therapy tour. You're adding dates? I just said

341
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 2: you are you adding more dates? Yeah, including Jacksonville. Our friend,

342
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 2: our friend Froggy. That that that screen of that's that's

343
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 2: Froggy in Jacksonville. Oh look he's chair, he's not down.

344
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 3: That's to show you how well I'm doing here.

345
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 2: No, No, he ran out to buy tickets to your

346
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 2: show Jacksonville. That's hilarious. So do you I mean, you

347
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 2: already have a long list of venues you're traveling from

348
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 2: every every day almost Do you get excited when they

349
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 2: add more dates or just like, okay, more dates?

350
00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 3: One day people are going to stop buying the tickets.

351
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 3: So I'm hoping that's not this tour because that would

352
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 3: be really horrifying.

353
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 6: There was such a good attitude about all of this.

354
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 3: Really, if I had a therapist, I feel like they'd say,

355
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 3: it's self deprecating.

356
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 2: But that's healthy, is it? Yeah, first I've ever heard

357
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 2: that that's self defecating. Self defecating, that's deprecating. Do you

358
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 2: just crap all over yourself?

359
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 3: So yeah, I was about to say I was about

360
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 3: to say I don't know it came in today. Yes, honestly,

361
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 3: this is very fun. It's really going nowhere. I feel

362
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 3: like we're going somewhere. This is a healthy relationship. We

363
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 3: are getting back, we are getting somewhere now. I know

364
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 3: I'm we're talking about Bowel movements, the Didy trial. I

365
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 3: can't imagine where this is going to turn.

366
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 2: It does. So let me ask you this, what do

367
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 2: you think about New York City? Do you like visiting

368
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 2: New York I like it a lot.

369
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 3: I'm usually here to do stuff, though, so it's definitely

370
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 3: kind of like starting to I had a few days

371
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 3: off where I just didn't do anything, and I get

372
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 3: so lost in this city and the maps don't work.

373
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 3: I don't know if you guys realized this. Like I'll

374
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 3: be on like fifty six and then it'll say I'm

375
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 3: like on fifty ninth and I walk in the circle

376
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 3: for like a week.

377
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,080
Speaker 6: It's insane, and asking New Yorker in the accident at

378
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 6: least send you the wrong way.

379
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, no one really knows where they're going.

380
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 2: I think everyone's just figuring it out. Are you still

381
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 2: are you West Coast? Where do I live in Tennessee?

382
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 3: Oh? God?

391
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 2: Did that, but it's a lot of good ideas. Why

422
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 2: I can't. What's it like to have gas lantern money?

423
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 3: I see the Mercedes sponsor logo.

424
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 2: Don't even Tony even do that?

425
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 3: In the Alvis your apartments next to the Diddy trial,

426
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 3: we know the penthouse, you know.

427
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,679
Speaker 1: The house he's got his own elevator that opens up.

428
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

429
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,439
Speaker 2: I got a question for you, Alex. Alex Warren is here.

430
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 2: If you're just wondering who this is, why are you

431
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,400
Speaker 2: doing this? Why do you do? What is it about?

432
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 2: The music. What I mean, I don't know. Maybe it's

433
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,199
Speaker 2: a question that cannot be answered, but what is it

434
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 2: you really truly.

435
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 3: I wanted an no, I truly. I write about what

436
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 3: I think is really cool, and I write about my

437
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 3: real life, and so I feel like in a world

438
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 3: where a lot of people are just trying to make

439
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 3: a hit record, it's been really cool to write songs

440
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:26,959
Speaker 3: about losing my parents, falling in love and just like

441
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 3: what it means to go through that. I think with

442
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 3: when I lost my parents, it was something interesting where

443
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 3: there were so many people surrounded and so many people

444
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 3: came to see us and offer condolences and things like that.

445
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 3: But in a room full of people, I felt so alone,

446
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 3: and no one would talk about these things.

447
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 2: No one.

448
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 3: No one would talk about trauma, no one would talk

449
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 3: about stuff. In the music space, I think it was

450
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 3: always just like breakup songs and hyper pop and things

451
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 3: like that. And I'm really really blessed to be able

452
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 3: to write music about my real life and help a

453
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 3: lot of people who might be going through the same thing.

454
00:18:57,800 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 3: And so it's been really cool. And when I play

455
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 3: live shows, it's been really really it's been healing from

456
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:04,879
Speaker 3: me too, to be able to see that people actually

457
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 3: enjoy the records, but they also it's also helping them

458
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 3: in some way. And the gas lanterns.

459
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 1: Nice side note.

460
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 2: The gas lanterns what it's about, and it's just trying

461
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,360
Speaker 2: to get a sponsor. Yeah, mental health is the bonus.

462
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 2: Mental health have so many years has just swept under

463
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 2: the rug. And we're talking about this the other day

464
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 2: and we're talking about it all the time, and you know,

465
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:28,719
Speaker 2: and bring it out in the opening into the light

466
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 2: is not a new thing. I mean, we've been doing

467
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 2: it for several years now, but it's getting better.

468
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 3: It's cool to have mommy issues, is it. I think so.

469
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 2: I think mommy issues are good too.

470
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:42,440
Speaker 3: Hell yeah, this issue is I don't have my mommy.

471
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 2: It's kind of weird. No, No, we were talking about

472
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 2: mommy issues this past weekend. Really, I don't think that

473
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 2: term came up. We were talking about mom's relationships with

474
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 2: moms and after you lose them, what are you left with?

475
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 3: Right?

476
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 2: And some people like to say, well, my mom, she

477
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,640
Speaker 2: was not the greatest lady. She was this and she's

478
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,360
Speaker 2: gone now. But then, you know, I'm happy to say

479
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 2: as many fault as my mom had I still remember

480
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 2: all the wonderful, glorious things that she brought into my life. Yeah,

481
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 2: what about you? Is your mom? Well you actually roll

482
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 2: in your eyes and go, oh my god, that was

483
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 2: my mom.

484
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 3: I always thought my mom like I always like held

485
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,199
Speaker 3: my mom to a perfect pedestal, and so when she

486
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 3: ever messed up, I was like, you're my mom. You're

487
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 3: supposed to be a perfect role model. And as I

488
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,880
Speaker 3: got older and after I lost her, I realized that

489
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 3: my mom for ten years straight what my dad thought

490
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 3: with cancer for four years. So she developed an alcohol

491
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 3: addiction and I think when she was left with crippling debt.

492
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 3: He died right when the recession hit, and you know,

493
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,400
Speaker 3: we had nothing to our name and.

494
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 2: She had to raise four kids by herself.

495
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:49,199
Speaker 3: And I remember after I was like, you know what,

496
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 3: I judged you for becoming an alcoholic, but you had

497
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 3: the world stacked against you. And so I think that

498
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 3: was the biggest thing for me, is like, you know,

499
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,439
Speaker 3: I realized that like she was human. It was her

500
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 3: first time living and I shouldn't have held her that

501
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 3: that standard and realize that she's a human too.

502
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:10,160
Speaker 2: I love the fact that I could admit, yeah, I

503
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 2: got to know my mom and dad after they passed away,

504
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 2: and someone said, well, that's way too late. No, it's

505
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 2: never too late. I really didn't get to know them

506
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,439
Speaker 2: until they were gone. I firmly believe you die twice.

507
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 2: I think you die when you die, and then you

508
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 2: die when someone stops telling your story. And I think

509
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 2: it's really really important to always be learning. Like for me,

510
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 2: I didn't know my dad very well, but I'm always

511
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 2: asking questions about them. They're always my family's always telling

512
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,680
Speaker 2: stories about him, and it's been really really important to

513
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 2: be able to tell my kids who their grandparents were

514
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,160
Speaker 2: and when they come around good.

515
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 3: I like that.

516
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 2: So your mom and dads were passed away, get to

517
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 2: know them now. If for a mom is still alive,

518
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:45,680
Speaker 2: run over with a car today, get to know where

519
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 2: I'm kidding.

520
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:53,959
Speaker 3: I'm kind of into it, all right, Okay.

521
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 2: Bottom line, Alex Warren, I think we're this close to

522
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 2: getting getting your signed up with You just.

523
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 3: Realized, but you were giving me a lot of slack

524
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 3: for my gas lantern. You have a gold engraved microphone.

525
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 3: Your microphone has your name on it. I'm just saying,

526
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 3: it's just saying.

527
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 2: I didn't pay for it. You paid for your gas.

528
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 3: You have a very solid point there.

529
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 2: So this is a gift. This is a gift.

530
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 3: Maybe I get my gas gifted by the tenants and

531
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 3: state of Tennessee.

532
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:25,159
Speaker 1: You don't know me, by the way, Can you do

533
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:26,480

Speaker 6: I don't think we should do that.

545
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:55,679
Speaker 1: Wait, can you really do it?

546
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:55,880
