Speaker 1: Loud and Quiet Presents Midnight Chats.
Speaker 2: Loud and a great local fucking newspaper. Just try it,
Speaker 2: might believe it Rockable.
Speaker 3: That was the sound of my guest on this week's podcast,
Speaker 3: not recorded recently a tour. Actually, that little snippet that
Speaker 3: was from back in twenty fourteen, which is when I
Speaker 3: last saw Mac DeMarco. We were in Amsterdam together as
Speaker 3: he was touring Salad Days, his second album, and we
Speaker 3: were doing a cover feature. He was on the cover
Speaker 3: of Loud on Quiet fifty nine back in June of
Speaker 3: twenty and fourteen, and that was the sound of Mac
Speaker 3: attempting a British accent. I think he was being a
Speaker 3: market trader and he was trying to flog copies of
Speaker 3: Loud and Quiet.
Speaker 2: Try it Loud and a great local fucking newspaper. Just
Speaker 2: try it, might believe it.
Speaker 4: Boy.
Speaker 3: It's an appalling attempt, of course, but that's exactly what
Speaker 3: I like about it. I love North Americans doing bad
Speaker 3: British accents, and that was something that he just launched into.
Speaker 3: We've done the interview that day, I remember, and I've
Speaker 3: given him a copy of our issue that was out
Speaker 3: at that point, and he just kind of grabbed it
Speaker 3: and started doing this this skit, so I asked him
Speaker 3: to do it a second time so I could film
Speaker 3: it on my BlackBerry, which was my phone and choice
Speaker 3: back then, and that little bit of footage, if you
Speaker 3: care to watch it, is on our YouTube channel. I
Speaker 3: think it might be the first thing that we posted
Speaker 3: on there. In fact, I might have even start i
Speaker 3: the YouTube channel because I had that on my phone
Speaker 3: and I found it funny. Since then, Mac has released
Speaker 3: a couple more records. Well, he's released a mini album
Speaker 3: called Another One, and he's just about to release his
Speaker 3: third proper album called This Old Dog, comes out next
Speaker 3: month on captured tracks. And that's the official reason he
Speaker 3: came by our office to record this podcast. A couple
Speaker 3: of months ago, he was in town purely doing press,
Speaker 3: which is a bit of a drag for most musicians
Speaker 3: to not be playing shows whilst they're in towns. That's
Speaker 3: normally the respite from all the crapping on to journalists
Speaker 3: is they get to actually play a show in the evening, Mac,
Speaker 3: to save his own sanity, manage to squeeze in a
Speaker 3: special solo acoustic show here in London and Namboka the
Speaker 3: following night after I spoke to him, and I think
Speaker 3: that was I think he needed that. He's not really
Speaker 3: a big fan of doing interviews, although I think you'll
Speaker 3: probably agree once you've listened to this he's very good
Speaker 3: at them. He's just, you know, it'd rather be playing,
Speaker 3: which is understandable. So yeah, thanks to Mac for coming
Speaker 3: by on his trip here. I'm not going to say
Speaker 3: much more about this episode because we're on press deadline
Speaker 3: here today. We need to send a new issue of
Speaker 3: the magazine to print, which by the time you're listening
Speaker 3: to this episode of the podcast, the magazine will either
Speaker 3: be out or it will be out in one day's time.
Speaker 3: I'm procrastinating. Really, I shouldn't be recording this intro now.
Speaker 3: This can wait till tomorrow, but I'm just on deadline
Speaker 3: and I'm just trying to do everything but finish my work.
Speaker 3: For some reason. Anyway, I need to get on with
Speaker 3: that now. So I'm going to leave you with Mac
Speaker 3: DeMarco on Midnight Chats number twenty five, And if you
Speaker 3: do enjoy it, please leave a little comment or rate
Speaker 3: it on iTunes or wherever you get your podcast from.
Speaker 3: It's quite hard to find on the iTunes out where
Speaker 3: you actually post a comment, so I won't be offended
Speaker 3: if you just cannot be asked, or if you give up.
Speaker 3: But if you do, if you know how to do that,
Speaker 3: or you've got some spare time on the bus, leave
Speaker 3: some feedback, give us a little rating. And if you're
Speaker 3: not a subscriber, or you're maybe listening to this on
Speaker 3: YouTube or elsewhere online, you can subscribe to us on
Speaker 3: iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts from. We're on
Speaker 3: all the platforms that you can get on your androids.
Speaker 3: Not blackberries, though they are sadly a thing in the past,
Speaker 3: which is why I had to get rid of Night
Speaker 3: Until next time. Here's Mac DeMarco on Midnight Chats.
Speaker 5: All right, boy, woke up early.
Speaker 6: I already had a salpy bagel today, which is the
Speaker 6: one thing I need when I'm in London, So a
Speaker 6: happy camper.
Speaker 3: Right, did you get that on Bricklay?
Speaker 7: I had it at the one on the right. If
Speaker 7: you're looking at him, that's the best one. That's only
Speaker 7: what I've been to. But I think I made the
Speaker 7: right choice.
Speaker 3: Ye the first time, I kind of felt bad for
Speaker 3: the bagel shop on the left because I think everyone
Speaker 3: just goes to the one on the right.
Speaker 6: One of the left didn't looked at bumping, but this
Speaker 6: one had like had a ky Yeah, I had like
Speaker 6: a candy cane line going through it.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Sure, that's impressive that you've had a salt beef bagel.
Speaker 3: I mean no, we're getting on for lunchtime. Yeah, so
Speaker 3: that's fine.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, anytime of the Day's so.
Speaker 3: You're here doing some some.
Speaker 7: Press promotion tour twenty seventeen.
Speaker 3: This is your promo tour.
Speaker 7: My favorite kind of tour. Absolutely love it.
Speaker 3: If you had it your way, that'll be like this, right,
Speaker 3: there'd be no show.
Speaker 7: Shows, no way, interviews, photo shoots all day.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I's all you're about.
Speaker 7: I wouldn't even make records if I had the choice. No,
Speaker 7: you just interviews.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 3: You were you are again. You are sneaking in a
Speaker 3: show tomorrow night though.
Speaker 7: So little one.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah is that just to keep you saying what
Speaker 3: I think?
Speaker 7: Yeah? Yeah, yeah pretty much.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 3: You've just thought, I need to like just something, I
Speaker 3: need to do some I need a treat for me,
Speaker 3: and it's something for me.
Speaker 7: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3: So you're doing a It's it's fortunate for me that
Speaker 3: show because it's right by my house.
Speaker 7: No, it's not fun. Where is it.
Speaker 3: It's in a place called Nambooka in Holloway in North London, Okay,
Speaker 3: which is about maybe a twenty five minute drive from here.
Speaker 7: But it's just you, right, it's just you, just me
Speaker 7: playing some song. I do it sometimes.
Speaker 3: When was the last time you did a show where
Speaker 3: it was just you and not not the band.
Speaker 6: Well, I did the same kind of little press Torsch
Speaker 6: Sol Show and BERLINX were there like four days ago
Speaker 6: or something, So I did that one.
Speaker 7: Excuse me. I do them in the States every once
Speaker 7: in a while.
Speaker 6: It's like, you know, sometimes I'll fly and just do
Speaker 6: one at like a college or like some city or whatever.
Speaker 7: I like doing them. They're fun.
Speaker 6: It's like a little bit of a different, very different
Speaker 6: thing than the well in some ways, you know, it's
Speaker 6: different than with the band. Other people could argue that
Speaker 6: it's just me doing the exact same thing without the
Speaker 6: band there, so but but yeah, it's it's fun. But yeah,
Speaker 6: I think it. There's been tours where the van is
Speaker 6: broken down and then I'll get in the support vent
Speaker 6: and like the support bands van and go to the
Speaker 6: next cities and just do the shows as as opposed
Speaker 6: to canceling them by myself. Sometimes the crowd is into it,
Speaker 6: sometimes not so much.
Speaker 3: What's the what the what the mark difference is? Is
Speaker 3: it just you and what's your set up? Do you
Speaker 3: just take one acoustic? It's out?
Speaker 7: Sometimes I do an acoustic. I've been doing an electric
Speaker 7: over here.
Speaker 6: Yeah, just me singing guitar. You know, sometimes will have
Speaker 6: a little keyboard, but not this time.
Speaker 7: It's fun. You know, everybody's singing along hopefully.
Speaker 3: It's me busy. It's a small room.
Speaker 7: It should be cool.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it should be good. So, I mean this
Speaker 3: tour is pressed too currently it's for the new record,
Speaker 3: This Old Dog, and it's a different feel this one,
Speaker 3: I guess, so I don't know, it's a different do
Speaker 3: you can you you can't? Can you sense the different
Speaker 3: kind of feel of the record or not so much?
Speaker 6: I mean I made it so it's kind of hard
Speaker 6: for me, and it's not like I like listen to
Speaker 6: my old records.
Speaker 7: All the time.
Speaker 6: But definitely, I mean it sounds different to me, It
Speaker 6: felt a little. It felt a little different to make.
Speaker 6: I mean, I still do it the same way I
Speaker 6: do any of my other records, but you know, just
Speaker 6: the elements of it, you know. I think I think
Speaker 6: at this point because I did it already and it
Speaker 6: was you know, the feeling was there when I did it.
Speaker 7: Now it's like, oh, it's not weird, you know.
Speaker 6: But but if I think about it, it's like, oh,
Speaker 6: I used acoustic guitar for a lot of it, Like
Speaker 6: didn't really use that many like effects or anything. It's
Speaker 6: kind of you know, the concept of it, I think
Speaker 6: is like pretty different maybe, but I just was kind
Speaker 6: of in it, so I don't know, it's not like
Speaker 6: I was I had this like list of like things
Speaker 6: that I was trying to do, you know, just kind
Speaker 6: of did just was natural.
Speaker 3: Yeah, people I imagine are going to call it your
Speaker 3: most mellow record. Might be a word that they're going
Speaker 3: to use, or maybe goofy, slacker.
Speaker 8: I don't know.
Speaker 3: That's the one that I mean, they have to be used.
Speaker 3: It's we get given a handbook when writing about my
Speaker 3: blood music. They have to be they have to be
Speaker 3: mentioned those ways. Yeah, slacker, goofy.
Speaker 6: I guess it is a little more. Yeah, there's like
Speaker 6: pretty there's not very many up tempo songs on it.
Speaker 6: But the thing I just don't really listen to fast
Speaker 6: music anymore. I mean I do, but most of the
Speaker 6: stuff if I'm sitting down or like you know, getting
Speaker 6: my like little monitor zone and want to listen to something,
Speaker 6: it's all like weird.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 7: I think what I consider up tempo. Now most people
Speaker 7: are like, well, this is very mellow.
Speaker 3: But you know what would be your what would be
Speaker 3: your go to?
Speaker 6: I love like you ever heard this album called Pacific
Speaker 6: by Harry Hillsno, it's like him and the guy Rucci
Speaker 6: saka Model. They played in Yellow Magic Orchestra together, but
Speaker 6: this is like right before they decided to start it,
Speaker 6: and it's kind of like he's got this this theme
Speaker 6: throughout it where it's like this is supposed to be
Speaker 6: this Hawaiian or like tropical island theme. It's like very
Speaker 6: it's not really that, you know, in your face, it's
Speaker 6: very mellow, you know. But for me, that's like faster
Speaker 6: than most of the music I've listened to today. I
Speaker 6: guess I don't know, it's just my vibe right now.
Speaker 3: What's that the what's that the other end of the sky?
Speaker 3: If that's your fault, If that's your that's your I'm
Speaker 3: going out on the town.
Speaker 6: Yeah, like Chuck Mangioni or something is my like party music,
Speaker 6: you know, but uh yeah, I don't know. I I
Speaker 6: listened to a lot of like soundtrack music nowadays, a
Speaker 6: lot of like ambient synthesizer stuff. This skuy Isautomida from Japan.
Speaker 6: I've gotten really into him this last year. His stuff's
Speaker 6: like abstract, weird, all like monosynth like Moog stuff, and
Speaker 6: he like he did a lot of like it's it's
Speaker 6: it's kind of crazy because you find his records in like,
Speaker 6: you know, thrift stories in the States because he did
Speaker 6: like you know, turned on version of classical music. But yeah,
Speaker 6: that guy's insane. There's one album that I've been this
Speaker 6: guy mort Darson from Canada. He did an album called
Speaker 6: Plantasia through this like Mother Earth series, and it's this
Speaker 6: album where you're supposed to play it for your plants
Speaker 6: and it'll make your plants happier. It's called Plantasia.
Speaker 3: We could do that and here these plants, Yeah, they'd
Speaker 3: love it. This one looks pretty sad today. They all
Speaker 3: look nut So do you think they look okay? Because
Speaker 3: like some days you come in and I swear.
Speaker 6: That they were about to die it's okay, you know,
Speaker 6: I think they look cool. Okay, but yeah they could
Speaker 6: use a little plantasia. But yeah, I don't know. And
Speaker 6: that stuff is kind of like, you know, just strange simple.
Speaker 6: It's not even like intricate, insane like synthesized music. It's
Speaker 6: very simple melodies through like a weird monocyn that's the
Speaker 6: kind of stuff you know in video game music. I
Speaker 6: love video game music from when I was a kid. Now, no,
Speaker 6: you know, there was a time in my life where
Speaker 6: I was like, you know, trying to be too cool
Speaker 6: to like, you know, i'd find one guy like every
Speaker 6: couple of years and like, yo, like you play fun
Speaker 6: fantasy when you're growing up too, Like that's awesome, Like
Speaker 6: let's keep it down.
Speaker 7: But now it's like that. I think a lot of
Speaker 7: that music shaped the way.
Speaker 6: That I make music now. And I don't know why
Speaker 6: I was so ashamed or not ashamed, but like just
Speaker 6: scared of letting it loose.
Speaker 7: But hell yeah I love it, you know, yeah, super
Speaker 7: Nintendo music.
Speaker 6: It's something that's so simple, simple melodies, repetitive, but it
Speaker 6: gets the gets the job done.
Speaker 7: You know, it's no problem.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's it's what's been interesting me now, which is
Speaker 6: maybe weird, but I don't.
Speaker 3: Know that's cool. I think the I mean, on the
Speaker 3: new record, there are the thing that's gonna stop. The
Speaker 3: other thing that people are gonna probably say incorrectly, of course,
Speaker 3: is that it's your unplugged record. Oh yeah, but the
Speaker 3: thing that stops it. I mean, it can't be that
Speaker 3: because it has sympathizer on it. Yeah, exactly, so it
Speaker 3: can't be it can't be that. But but you can
Speaker 3: hear them that some of the side of the sounds
Speaker 3: sound video game.
Speaker 6: Yeah ish, they're not cool and sexy and big, you know.
Speaker 6: I like the cheat been shitty sounding like okay, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 7: That's what I like.
Speaker 3: This is probably something that people have maybe when they
Speaker 3: hear your music, have said before. I've never really heard
Speaker 3: it until now. Your vocal on this new record reminds
Speaker 3: me of Damon Albarn.
Speaker 7: People said that to you. I no, not really, okay,
Speaker 7: but that's tight because I really like all the stuff
Speaker 7: that he's done pretty much. But I don't know.
Speaker 6: I mean, I and then's like, you know, I like
Speaker 6: the style of you know, pretty much throughout his he
Speaker 6: never did like you know, it was like his voice
Speaker 6: like real deal.
Speaker 7: It's not like he's this crazy.
Speaker 6: Sometimes he goes up and down, but it's mostly just
Speaker 6: like talking, you know, timbore or whatever. It's like his
Speaker 6: normal speech range, and it's just right in your face,
Speaker 6: not a lot of effects.
Speaker 7: I love Damon's voice.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think with Damon's voice, the slower it gets,
Speaker 3: the better it sounds.
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, took a lullaby, one of those crazy voices.
Speaker 3: And then your new record's got a bit of that,
Speaker 3: especially the second track, which is My Old Man, Right.
Speaker 7: I think this I could my Old Man's number one.
Speaker 3: I think this Old Dog is that particularly like I
Speaker 3: hear it in that I've not heard it until now.
Speaker 3: I didn't know if that was something that see.
Speaker 6: That was one of the things that the old records
Speaker 6: is I would pitch my voice, you know, starting with
Speaker 6: Racer on My Club, pitch it way down and then
Speaker 6: up a little bit here and there, and then on
Speaker 6: two was mostly I didn't really touch it that much
Speaker 6: in there, but there was loads of delays and reverbs
Speaker 6: and stuff on it. Then Salad Days, I started kind
Speaker 6: of tweaking my voice up a little bit to give
Speaker 6: it like a touch of John Lennon or something like it,
Speaker 6: and then this one I was like, I don't really
Speaker 6: want to touch it and I'm just gonna lead and
Speaker 6: you know, no effects on most stuff, and just wanted
Speaker 6: it to.
Speaker 7: Be like as like real as possible. Yeah, just like
Speaker 7: no baloney, you know, just these are these songs. That's it.
Speaker 7: Who cares? You know?
Speaker 3: Do you think it's because you feel like you've become
Speaker 3: you feel more comfortable with your voice as you tour
Speaker 3: it so much you practice, not more?
Speaker 7: Maybe?
Speaker 6: I mean the thing about us playing shows is I
Speaker 6: can barely ever I sing pretty quietly, so I can
Speaker 6: barely ever hear.
Speaker 7: My voice on stage anyway.
Speaker 6: So you know, sometimes the shows are fine. Most of
Speaker 6: the time, I have no idea what I'm doing. I
Speaker 6: smoke like a chimney, so it's like, if anything, my
Speaker 6: voice has probably gotten worse. But for some reason with
Speaker 6: these songs, and I think it was the way I
Speaker 6: wrote them too. It's just kind of like I sat
Speaker 6: down wrote them on a guitar that was the song
Speaker 6: instead of before where it's like I'm gonna get drum
Speaker 6: machine beat, try a bassline, like oh, these chords work,
Speaker 6: and then like maybe a little since part then like
Speaker 6: oh and I have like a vocal for like the chorus,
Speaker 6: but okay, now I'm gonna write the verses like what
Speaker 6: about you know, a second guitar And it's like, so
Speaker 6: it was kind of like building a lego thin before,
Speaker 6: but this time it was like, that's the song and
Speaker 6: doesn't need drums.
Speaker 7: Maybe I don't know, it doesn't They didn't really. Yeah,
Speaker 7: you know, that's completely objective, I guess.
Speaker 6: But it's like as a song, they could just exist
Speaker 6: that way, you know, instead.
Speaker 7: Of having to be Cause a lot of.
Speaker 6: My older songs, I feel like if they weren't done
Speaker 6: in the way that I recorded them or something, or
Speaker 6: like you know, with a certain recording method or that
Speaker 6: like low fire, then they probably wouldn't.
Speaker 7: Make as much sense. You know, some of them be fine,
Speaker 7: but yeah, some would be kind of weird. I think.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Sure. So it's called this Old Dog and they're
Speaker 3: are the theme of getting older. Yeah, it's something that
Speaker 3: was on the track Salad Days. It was maybe the
Speaker 3: first time it was kind of approached in a song
Speaker 3: of yours and that's them has come back again. Feel
Speaker 3: do you feel old? Are you feeling old?
Speaker 8: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I mean, well, because you're a young man.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm twenty six.
Speaker 3: You're full of life. I'm looking at you now.
Speaker 6: But I think, yeah, I mean when I say old,
Speaker 6: I mean with my old man. That's talking about my dad,
Speaker 6: so he is already old. But for this old dog,
Speaker 6: it's like, you know, I feel like it's more of
Speaker 6: just like a you know, out at you old dog,
Speaker 6: dirty old dog, like you dirty dog, bastard, like that
Speaker 6: kind of thing.
Speaker 7: You know. I don't know. I think it's yeah, it's interesting.
Speaker 7: I think it's not about so much getting old me,
Speaker 7: like oh my god, I'm like.
Speaker 6: You know, it's just like I feel like there's been
Speaker 6: in this past year sometimes my life where I'm kind
Speaker 6: of like, you know, things are like not settling down.
Speaker 6: But it's kind of like I've reached a point where like,
Speaker 6: you know, I bought houses here, I like live comfortably,
Speaker 6: like we tore.
Speaker 7: There's nothing like that terrifying or like confusing about what
Speaker 7: I'm my existence now, you know, And that is what
Speaker 7: scares me.
Speaker 6: It's kind of like, well, I could just sit on
Speaker 6: my ass till I pass away, you know, and that
Speaker 6: would be fine, you know, but I mean, you know,
Speaker 6: I'll play music and do whatever.
Speaker 7: But it's just just hitting.
Speaker 6: That kind of like I don't know what to I
Speaker 6: think for me in my mind, like buying a house
Speaker 6: is like a big who was a big marker of like, well,
Speaker 6: now you can retire. That makes exactly you know, and
Speaker 6: then now and now that I did it because for years,
Speaker 6: four years probably I was kind of like every time
Speaker 6: i'd make a little bit of money, I was like,
Speaker 6: let's see what I can afford with this, you.
Speaker 7: Know, And then I finally bought something, and it's like, shit,
Speaker 7: what do I do now? Like damn, it's just weird,
Speaker 7: you know, it's a weird feeling.
Speaker 6: Yeah, So the house boys I in La. Yeah, and
Speaker 6: that's kind of funny. It's like why did I buy there?
Speaker 7: I don't know.
Speaker 6: I don't know why I did it there because I
Speaker 6: could afford it. Maybe wanted to buy a house so bad.
Speaker 6: I just didn't even really think about where we were
Speaker 6: going to do it. Although I really like La and
Speaker 6: I have a lot of friends there, but people have
Speaker 6: been asking a lot and for any interview for this album,
Speaker 6: it's like, oh, so you live.
Speaker 7: In La, Like why'd you move there? I'm like, I
Speaker 7: don't know, there's no real reason. I could live wherever
Speaker 7: I want.
Speaker 6: It doesn't really matter, you know, like well, you know,
Speaker 6: depending on like visas and you know, country entrants and
Speaker 6: stuff like that.
Speaker 7: But like, I don't know, there's it's sunny. I guess
Speaker 7: it's chill.
Speaker 3: So why did you you moved that last year in August?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Okay, And how's it? How's it going out out that
Speaker 3: of the side. How long we You must have been
Speaker 3: in New York for a long time.
Speaker 7: Two three years or something? Okay, Yeah, I mean it's great,
Speaker 7: you know, it's it's different. I think that's what I
Speaker 7: was looking for.
Speaker 6: Moving there maybe is some kind of different because it's
Speaker 6: like with with New York, we lived really far out
Speaker 6: of town, but we had space. We were kind of
Speaker 6: doing the LA thing in New York. Already had a house,
Speaker 6: had a big yard, lived by the beach. I had
Speaker 6: to drive everywhere.
Speaker 3: I thought, you you weren't living in Brooklyn.
Speaker 6: I was initially, but then we you know, we got
Speaker 6: a house some rockaway each which was but it was
Speaker 6: so far away from everybody that we never see anybody.
Speaker 6: So a lot of the like nice things but LA
Speaker 6: we had in New York. But except for the you know,
Speaker 6: a camaraderie or companionship of any kind.
Speaker 7: It's like, you know, nope, we had our roommates and
Speaker 7: that was about it. You know.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and now we're in LA and it's just so
Speaker 6: bizarre to live in a neighborhood where people like I'm
Speaker 6: gonna come over. It's like what, like, okay, you know
Speaker 6: that's crazy. And it's a nice it's a nice city.
Speaker 6: It's got a lot of things that I missed about
Speaker 6: cities that I've lived in the past, like for you know,
Speaker 6: it's got crazy all kinds of food. New York is
Speaker 6: crazy for food too, but some some kind you know,
Speaker 6: some like maybe you want to go for Sichuan or
Speaker 6: good Vietmans.
Speaker 7: You kind of got to go out a little bit. La.
Speaker 7: It's all just right around the corner, great Mexican.
Speaker 3: Do you feel healthier living in California?
Speaker 6: Uh see, I don't know because the burritos are a
Speaker 6: big problem for me. There's a great truck right down
Speaker 6: the street from us, and yeah, yeah, I've.
Speaker 7: Had a couple of beers. Then it's like it's Melita
Speaker 7: to that.
Speaker 3: But you need to get into the yoga. Nah.
Speaker 7: See. These are all the things. But I.
Speaker 3: Could see what they.
Speaker 7: Love in la Is. Is she going to hike this weekend?
Speaker 3: That's oh yeah, yeah hiking.
Speaker 7: And carry you in here still.
Speaker 3: Share into hiking. Well she goes on.
Speaker 7: It's beautiful. There's a lot of Yeah, it's weird. The
Speaker 7: weird thing with la Is it gets a bad rap
Speaker 7: for the people, like it's such an ugly city. It's like, no,
Speaker 7: it's not.
Speaker 6: There's mountains, palm trees, Like everybody's house is a crazy
Speaker 6: like color. It's like it's really crazy looking city. It's
Speaker 6: a beautiful place, you know. But uh, but I'm just
Speaker 6: not a sporty guy or an outdoors the guy. I mean,
Speaker 6: maybe I'll go on a hike at some point, I
Speaker 6: don't know. But that it's funny that that I don't
Speaker 6: have a problem with any though. You know, I don't
Speaker 6: have a problem with yoga. I don't a problem with
Speaker 6: juicing whatever. But just the infusion of it into like
Speaker 6: la Like it's the It's like people have this predisposed
Speaker 6: mantra for a city. It's like, ah, yes, you're going
Speaker 6: to you know, get cryogenically frozen once a day or something.
Speaker 7: It's like I'm just gonna hang out my house like
Speaker 7: piss you got a dog. No, I don't. I've never
Speaker 7: had a dog before.
Speaker 3: Dogs that I mean, my image of la is I've
Speaker 3: got no real basis for it. I've only been very briefly.
Speaker 3: But in my mind, as well as the yoga, the hiking,
Speaker 3: the food trucks and the healthy living, you got dogs.
Speaker 3: Everyone has a.
Speaker 7: Dog, which makes sense. You know, it's a great place
Speaker 7: to have a dog.
Speaker 3: Becau it's a hiking You can take them hiking, you.
Speaker 6: Take them anywhere you want the space people have yards.
Speaker 6: That was the weird thing in New York. So when
Speaker 6: you go to the city, a lot of people had
Speaker 6: dogs there too, but it was more of a symbol
Speaker 6: in New York, where it's like the bigger your dog is,
Speaker 6: the bigger your apartment is. You see some like rich
Speaker 6: guy walking around with this like big ass dog, and
Speaker 6: you're like, piss off, like I know what you're doing,
Speaker 6: Like get out of my face.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 6: So, but I don't know, I think having any dog
Speaker 6: in an apartment it's like it's pretty cruel.
Speaker 7: Probably, well, you can make it work, but big dog.
Speaker 3: Some of those apartments in.
Speaker 7: New York are so tiny. I don't know, I've never
Speaker 7: had a dog. Maybe the dog's chill with it.
Speaker 3: I don't know, are you into Are you a dog guy?
Speaker 7: I like them?
Speaker 8: Sure?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a loaded question, isn't it. Because you can't
Speaker 3: say no because I between you and I and now
Speaker 3: everyone listening to this, I'm not that into.
Speaker 7: Dogs really, but like all dogs.
Speaker 3: I don't dislike them. It's not like I think. It's
Speaker 3: not like I hate dogs or as scared of dogs
Speaker 3: or anything. I'm just don't really get that thing where
Speaker 3: if a dog was to come in here now, you know,
Speaker 3: if you're if you're in and everyone you know loves
Speaker 3: the dog, I just kind of don't get it.
Speaker 7: That's fine, you know, but you can't really.
Speaker 3: Some people think that makes you a complete monster of
Speaker 3: a person.
Speaker 7: I mean, I don't know. I think I like them.
Speaker 7: I think that it's you know, it wears off kind
Speaker 7: of quick for me too.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it'll be half for you to have one because
Speaker 3: you're always away.
Speaker 7: Exactly what I've said to here, I'm like, we should
Speaker 7: get a dog. We should get a dog.
Speaker 6: Like I have this image of my in my mind
Speaker 6: of me driving around with a bass at hound sitting
Speaker 6: in my you know, just not even driving anywhere, just
Speaker 6: driving around to show off the dogs droopy dog head
Speaker 6: out the window. I think that's a good look, you know.
Speaker 6: But then you know, she's like, you'll go on tour
Speaker 6: all the time. And also I'm usually sitting in the
Speaker 6: shotgun seats, so like you're gonna give the dog my seat.
Speaker 7: So I'm kind of like, oh, yeah, right, yeah huh.
Speaker 7: But I don't know. I mean maybe at some point.
Speaker 7: It's kind of like having a kid. Honestly.
Speaker 6: That's the weird thing is when people you know around
Speaker 6: my age are a little bit older, get a dog
Speaker 6: and they treat it like a like they've had a baby.
Speaker 6: It's kind of like, you guys are crazy.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I don't like it when people who have dogs refer
Speaker 3: to themselves as mummy and daddy. That's trippy, that's weird.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 6: I think I like cats, you know, I've always had
Speaker 6: cats grown up. I like dogs too. Maybe someday, you know,
Speaker 6: I couldn't get a cat either, You'll get a lizard.
Speaker 7: Who knows. I'd like to have a big pig, like
Speaker 7: a big you know people get little pigs.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm talking big pig, like a huge swine that
Speaker 6: would look good in.
Speaker 3: The shotgun seat. Hell yeah, Like if you're driving, whereabouts
Speaker 3: do you do.
Speaker 7: In an echo park area? Okay?
Speaker 3: But if you would go over the other side, drive
Speaker 3: around like.
Speaker 7: Hollywood with a pig the.
Speaker 6: People, it would be interesting or walking would yea walking
Speaker 6: walk of fame with the big I'm talking like a
Speaker 6: boor size, big nasty pig.
Speaker 3: To show show off how big your opponent is. That
Speaker 3: beats the big dog, like I've got got a big pig.
Speaker 6: I've got a huge pig. I just think pigs are cute.
Speaker 6: Apparently they're pretty smart too, and they taste just like human.
Speaker 7: But I don't know, maybe someday.
Speaker 3: So to the record, right, I feel like we've it's
Speaker 3: good because we've been talking about dogs and it's called
Speaker 3: this Old Dog.
Speaker 7: True.
Speaker 3: Yeah sos. Other than so, there's the song My Old
Speaker 3: Man about your dad. Do you feel like you're turning
Speaker 3: into your dad?
Speaker 6: There's certain aspects of my personality where sometimes I catch
Speaker 6: myself going.
Speaker 7: Like whoa, like what the hell?
Speaker 4: You know?
Speaker 6: So? But it's it's it's a common you know, yeah,
Speaker 6: you know, I like to sometimes you know, it has
Speaker 6: a certain meaning to me. But as well, it's like
Speaker 6: one of those age ol old like human philosophical it's like.
Speaker 7: My father's hands.
Speaker 6: You know, it's like it's just just another weird trope
Speaker 6: about of being alive.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I like to.
Speaker 6: To dance with that a little bit every once in
Speaker 6: a while. But you know, it is true to form
Speaker 6: with me as well.
Speaker 3: Do you look a bit like it as you get old?
Speaker 7: Ah? Maybe? Yeah, I don't know. Maybe I look a
Speaker 7: little bit more like my mom's side of the family.
Speaker 7: But it's hard to tell.
Speaker 3: A lot of the themes are on this record, welcome
Speaker 3: people read into like.
Speaker 6: You were saying, then getting older, being confused about being alive,
Speaker 6: you know, being confused about you know, I don't know.
Speaker 6: I mean, it's a lot of the songs are about
Speaker 6: my family. A lot of the songs are about getting older.
Speaker 6: Some of the songs are about some you know, these
Speaker 6: basic things that have happened to me in the.
Speaker 7: Last year, two years or whatever.
Speaker 6: It's kind of like it's different because Salad Days dealt
Speaker 6: with some stuff where it was kind of like I
Speaker 6: kind of felt like that was like I'm grumpy, Like
Speaker 6: I'm grumpy, and like I don't like doing interviews and
Speaker 6: I don't like, you know, I'm always on tour and
Speaker 6: the tour is so hard, and it's like tour is
Speaker 6: not hard, Like I was just drinking myself to death,
Speaker 6: you know, it's like but nowadays it's like things have
Speaker 6: changed a lot, and like I don't really drink myself
Speaker 6: to death that much anymore.
Speaker 7: I haven't died yet, but.
Speaker 6: Uh, you know, and you know, we we're definitely not
Speaker 6: It's not as raucous as it used to be.
Speaker 7: I mean, it's sure is.
Speaker 6: The shows are crazy, and you know, we will still
Speaker 6: stay with kids if we you know, if we can
Speaker 6: wherever and stuff, but it's more of like a well
Speaker 6: oiled machine and more like adults. And you know, I'm
Speaker 6: not trying to act like I'm sixteen or something anymore,
Speaker 6: but well maybe i am. I don't know, but yeah,
Speaker 6: but looking at everything through a scope like that where
Speaker 6: it's kind of like with a more grown up view
Speaker 6: on it, it's just kind of like and still feeling
Speaker 6: like damn, Like there's just days where it's.
Speaker 5: Like why why do I Why do I do this?
Speaker 6: Not?
Speaker 7: Why do I love making music and stuff? But it's
Speaker 7: just but about living.
Speaker 6: A life in general and just getting to certain you know,
Speaker 6: landmarks in it and stuff and it's just kind of
Speaker 6: this is so fucking weird. You know, it's just me
Speaker 6: being confused, my quarter life crisis.
Speaker 7: I guess I don't know.
Speaker 3: So what do you know? What's what's going to happen next?
Speaker 7: See, that's the thing. I have no idea we buy
Speaker 7: the pig, that the pig help, you know. I just
Speaker 7: want to keep making music. I think this last year too,
Speaker 7: I've been.
Speaker 6: A lot more interested in, like I've kind of regained
Speaker 6: some kind of love for actually, you know, seeking out
Speaker 6: new music, trying new sounds, doing this, doing that where
Speaker 6: But you know, I feel like there's a bunch of
Speaker 6: years where I was very preoccupied by like just playing
Speaker 6: the crazy rock show and you know, doing getting drunk
Speaker 6: and like partying and meeting people. And I love doing
Speaker 6: all that still, but it's like I have like some
Speaker 6: kind of regained or maybe new.
Speaker 7: Appreciation for like musicianship or like, I don't know, maybe
Speaker 7: my palette is taste is changing.
Speaker 3: I don't know. There's something to be a psychiatrist about this.
Speaker 3: Do you think there's something in you that because you've
Speaker 3: got the house and you kind of are comfortable, maybe
Speaker 3: for the first time to a certain extent, do you
Speaker 3: think there's something in you that isn't is trying to
Speaker 3: not allow you to just enjoy it and just be like, hey,
Speaker 3: I've got everything in check. Everything's good. That's just joy
Speaker 3: this movie.
Speaker 7: Yeah, definitely, I think there is.
Speaker 3: But you're kind of thinking, where's the drama.
Speaker 6: Sort of yeah, in a couple you know, in so
Speaker 6: many words, but it's sort of doing that.
Speaker 7: But it's also you know.
Speaker 6: Like I think it's just kind of like get your
Speaker 6: kick somewhere else, like you had your fun.
Speaker 3: Have you ever thought about going about trying acting? Now
Speaker 3: you're in La, you're in the right town for it.
Speaker 6: I mean, people especially yesterday and the day before in
Speaker 6: Berlin people were talking about press. People were like, so,
Speaker 6: like we've seen you've been in this little short movie
Speaker 6: and like you're doing this in this clip and you know,
Speaker 6: and I mean most of that stuff that shows up
Speaker 6: on the internet is like me just you know, gooving
Speaker 6: off with my friends or whatever. But I think if
Speaker 6: I ever like did, like seriously tried to act and something,
Speaker 6: I would fail so miserably. Like I can play the
Speaker 6: character of Mac Debauco look at me, eh, you know,
Speaker 6: like I can be a I'm just a goofy guy,
Speaker 6: you know whatever, Like you know, I.
Speaker 3: Just you could stop that.
Speaker 9: That could be all maybe, But I think anything I
Speaker 9: scripted or where I'm like, you know, see, that's the
Speaker 9: whole thing.
Speaker 7: I'm lucky that I get to be a musician. I
Speaker 7: get to make money.
Speaker 6: Off of it, because as soon as I have somebody
Speaker 6: else like going like you do this, now do that?
Speaker 7: Like that's then I start going, oh, you tell me
Speaker 7: what to do one more time. So I don't know,
Speaker 7: I don't know if it would work out very well.
Speaker 6: I mean, see, the actors that I gravitate to the
Speaker 6: most are like guys that often play the same role
Speaker 6: like forty times over, and then their personality isn't too
Speaker 6: far off from it, which I think, you know, that's
Speaker 6: kind of my vibe with the music thing. Even you know,
Speaker 6: it's like but you know, like Harrison Ford or something
Speaker 6: like that. It's like, you know, he just where's my
Speaker 6: wife every movie? You know, and it's like, but he's
Speaker 6: just a cool guy. You know, I don't know, but
Speaker 6: he's funny as hell too, and he's just you know,
Speaker 6: he seems.
Speaker 7: Just real and he's like figure, he figured it out
Speaker 7: a long time ago. He doesn't give a rat anymore.
Speaker 6: So it's like, fuck yeah, dude, or even somebody like
Speaker 6: Robert de Niro or something. It's just kind of like
Speaker 6: he's an incredible, incredible he can do a ton of shit.
Speaker 6: But you know, at the same time, it's like, you know,
Speaker 6: just does his thing, and then in real life, maybe
Speaker 6: it's not Maybe I maybe I'm just only seeing one.
Speaker 7: Side of the or like a little bit of the
Speaker 7: whole picture. But I like that, you know that kind
Speaker 7: of I don't know.
Speaker 3: Well, you know, bear in mind, you're in the right town. True,
Speaker 3: You're in the right town for true. Did you say
Speaker 3: I've been trying to avoid all the Oscar news this week.
Speaker 6: Because the envelope, the envelope Fisco.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I couldn't ear fucked that up.
Speaker 7: That's ridiculous.
Speaker 3: I didn't realize until this morning that the that the
Speaker 3: so the wrong name was read out best picture and
Speaker 3: so the name they said was a La Land, right,
Speaker 3: but that hadn't want But they got all the way
Speaker 3: up on stage right, and did they did an acceptance
Speaker 3: speech or were they halfway through to speak.
Speaker 7: I don't know.
Speaker 6: I just saw like they I saw the clip where
Speaker 6: they called it. Then I saw like the guy from
Speaker 6: Lalan like holding the oscar and they were like no,
Speaker 6: like our friends like come on up. And I was like,
Speaker 6: oh my, just so and Jimmy kimmel'sy are like well,
Speaker 6: like this is crazy. And then there's all these people
Speaker 6: on the internet saying like oh, they're just you know,
Speaker 6: creating this you know, fantasy situation to get like you know,
Speaker 6: some to have it go viral or whatever.
Speaker 3: I don't know what they reckon. That was like, well staged, some.
Speaker 6: People are selling. Yeah, I mean I hope not, but
Speaker 6: I mean, I tell you truth, I don't care. But yeah,
Speaker 6: if it hadn't happened, I probably wouldn't have even known
Speaker 6: who won Best Picture or had watched any of the
Speaker 6: oscars anyway, that's true.
Speaker 3: Have you been back to Canada much recently?
Speaker 6: Not since the early flaw? And I just went to
Speaker 6: see my family for a little while.
Speaker 3: So did they still live in They didn't still live
Speaker 3: in Edmondson today?
Speaker 7: Yeah, most of my family.
Speaker 3: Okay, how's how's the town? I remember when we spoke
Speaker 3: last year talking about.
Speaker 7: Growing up in Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3: You introduced me to a new word which I've not heard.
Speaker 7: The changa Chong Gay. Yeah, yeah, yeah, which is the
Speaker 7: dude right, some of the meathead dudes. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 7: I think it's so.
Speaker 6: I think there's some like new stuff going on the
Speaker 6: music scene seems to be going on, okay up there
Speaker 6: right now.
Speaker 7: I don't really know.
Speaker 6: It was weird going back this last time because when
Speaker 6: I was young, a couple of years younger, i'd you know,
Speaker 6: live in other parts of Canada, go home and like
Speaker 6: do the straut down White ab me, like what's up,
Speaker 6: look good to see how you doing, you know, like
Speaker 6: I'm back, you know, And it was a big thing
Speaker 6: for me.
Speaker 7: Like I was like, oh yeah, cool, the cool kid
Speaker 7: that moved away, you know.
Speaker 6: And this time I tried to do the Stratton, didn't
Speaker 6: recognize half the stories, ran into no one that I knew,
Speaker 6: and you know, didn't even get recognized or anything.
Speaker 7: And I was like, well, it's not really my home anymore,
Speaker 7: is it, you know.
Speaker 6: But see, it's always nice to this time. I mean,
Speaker 6: it's been such a long time since I've been there
Speaker 6: because I don't go home for the holidays anymore. I
Speaker 6: don't go home. I barely even play shows there. It's
Speaker 6: like maybe once every two years or something, but going
Speaker 6: home this time and just being there to hang out
Speaker 6: with my fan for like a week, and then you know,
Speaker 6: I was like walking around my old neighborhood, like old
Speaker 6: alleyways that I use, and it's just like it was
Speaker 6: the first time, where it's like, holy crap, this is weird.
Speaker 7: You know, it's like walk down memory lane.
Speaker 3: So have you moved your studio? I guess you've moved? Yeah,
Speaker 3: is that?
Speaker 6: I mean it was just in my bedroom in New
Speaker 6: York and then now I have like a guest room
Speaker 6: which is just filled with all my crap. But actually
Speaker 6: when I get home in a couple of days, we
Speaker 6: have a little garage on the property and I've had
Speaker 6: it built into like a little you know, soundproof box.
Speaker 7: So so I'll be moving all my stuff from there
Speaker 7: and it should be should be nice.
Speaker 3: It's nice. Yeah, just jazz too, that's right. Is that
Speaker 3: what you're calling it? Have you got it?
Speaker 6: Well, it's probably like just jazz eight at this point. Yeah,
Speaker 6: but yeah, you know, I think it'll be nice.
Speaker 7: I think I like it. Yeah.
Speaker 3: It's nice that you're self sufficient in that way. You
Speaker 3: can pretty much make all your records on your own terms. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you don't need to go into a studio.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Well, I mean at first, it was just like going
Speaker 7: to the studios too expensive, you know.
Speaker 6: I remember when I lived in Vancouver, there are a
Speaker 6: couple of studios that were like come check it out,
Speaker 6: you know, And I did a day at this one
Speaker 6: studio called the Hive, which is a really nice studio Vancouver,
Speaker 6: and the guy calling from there was just kind of like, yeah,
Speaker 6: come do a day and I was like, sweet, sweet,
Speaker 6: do I owe you anything? He's like, nah, man, I'm
Speaker 6: just hooking up for today.
Speaker 7: I was like, okay, cool.
Speaker 6: But then even asking it at the end, I was like, well,
Speaker 6: like what if I wanted to come back and do
Speaker 6: more here, like, you know, how much would it cost?
Speaker 6: He's like, don't worry about it, like you're not you
Speaker 6: couldn't afford it.
Speaker 7: And I was like, oh, you know, but.
Speaker 6: Not in a way where it's kind of like we're
Speaker 6: too you know. It's just kind of like maybe some day,
Speaker 6: but like for you know, it's pretty I was paying
Speaker 6: two hundred bucks a month rant but like it would
Speaker 6: probably be more than that for a one day, and.
Speaker 7: But they go up from there. But it's just so
Speaker 7: I never had that and also working against the.
Speaker 6: Clock and all this kind of stuff, and I liked,
Speaker 6: you know, I've always I've always done it at home.
Speaker 6: At first I had no idea what I was doing.
Speaker 6: You kind of learn and learn and learn, and things
Speaker 6: change and the way things sound changes, and so you
Speaker 6: can you can get it to a pimp spot, but
Speaker 6: you're just always in the same level of come ability.
Speaker 7: Yeah, in your undies, do.
Speaker 3: You feel like the perception of you has changed since
Speaker 3: you started? In terms of this thing we were saying
Speaker 3: earlier about people always feel they have to say slacker
Speaker 3: jump and all these kind of things.
Speaker 7: Maybe I don't think like it. I don't think I
Speaker 7: think that a.
Speaker 6: Lot of people for this record too, are gonna be like, oh,
Speaker 6: he's trying to, like, you know, show us that he's
Speaker 6: grown up. Like I couldn't get it. I couldn't care less.
Speaker 6: That's the whole thing about it, is like there's a
Speaker 6: it is a you know, I.
Speaker 7: Mean, I get the slacker. I get that there's a
Speaker 7: lot of kids out there.
Speaker 6: I noticed sometimes, you know, because for example, somebody will
Speaker 6: post something about this.
Speaker 7: Album, be like classic goofy Mac is back, and then
Speaker 7: all my fans in the comments are like, these songs
Speaker 7: aren't goofy, like screw you, Like you don't know what
Speaker 7: you're talking about, you know, And it's cool that they're
Speaker 7: doing that.
Speaker 6: I don't care if somebody thinks a goofy sound, that's fine,
Speaker 6: you know, it's whatever. But I know there are kids
Speaker 6: out there in my fan base that like people, people
Speaker 6: can take whatever they want. Like some kids get like
Speaker 6: an emotional response from the songs maybe, or maybe just
Speaker 6: think it's a catchy tune. Other people watch my interviews
Speaker 6: or something else, know this persona. Perhaps you haven't even
Speaker 6: heard the music before, which is always crazy for me
Speaker 6: to find out about.
Speaker 7: Yeah, but understandable.
Speaker 6: You know. I do so many like videos and crap
Speaker 6: that it's like maybe makes sense, but for me, it's
Speaker 6: you know, I think of I think of it kind
Speaker 6: of similar the way I think of songwriting and recording
Speaker 6: and releasing music.
Speaker 7: Where as soon as you put.
Speaker 6: Something on a vinyl or put something on your band
Speaker 6: camp or whatever and put it out in the world,
Speaker 6: it's like.
Speaker 7: Not really yours anymore, it's just public domain. But the
Speaker 7: same thing goes for my personality.
Speaker 6: You know, It's not like I signed to like a
Speaker 6: three sixty deal and they like own my image. But
Speaker 6: it's kind of like, you know, I can't stop people
Speaker 6: from making a meme of me.
Speaker 7: You're like YadA YadA, YadA.
Speaker 6: But so it's and I'm being me, but there is
Speaker 6: a disconnect where it's kind of like I give it
Speaker 6: away and then people hone in on certain things and
Speaker 6: if they want to, you know, paint me as goofy
Speaker 6: or paint me as you know, serious, or paint me
Speaker 6: as whatever, like there's nothing you can do about it.
Speaker 7: And I just stop giving a shit a lot time ago. Yeah,
Speaker 7: so and yeah, that's a funny thing. The other thing
Speaker 7: is to eat.
Speaker 6: I meet some people that get stressed out about like
Speaker 6: how they're being portrayed and how YadA YadA YadA, and
Speaker 6: like they want to and I.
Speaker 7: Just I don't.
Speaker 6: Yeah whatever, you know, it's so ridiculous what I do anyway,
Speaker 6: it's I like to make money off of something like
Speaker 6: this is dope but so silly, you know, so so
Speaker 6: so so silly. It's great, you know, there's no complaints,
Speaker 6: but just that's probably part of this like whole you
Speaker 6: know theme of the record is like this is my life.
Speaker 6: It's so ridiculous. And like, and now I own a house? Like,
Speaker 6: what the fuck you know?
Speaker 7: I don't know?
Speaker 3: Cool, no complaints, I thought to end on we could
Speaker 3: play a game of sorts. Sure, game might be a
Speaker 3: bit strong word. We got a feature in the magazine
Speaker 3: called getting to Know You. It's like a questionnaire. Didn't
Speaker 3: know you? You filled in this questionnaire. I don't expect
Speaker 3: you to remember it. In fact, it would kind of
Speaker 3: ruin this game if you did remember any of it.
Speaker 7: I don't know if I did. I don't remember.
Speaker 3: This is from issue issue fifty seven, which was released
Speaker 3: in Let me see when this was. It was a
Speaker 3: long time ago. I think this was around the time
Speaker 3: of two. Okay, that's got to be a dat in
Speaker 3: here somewhere.
Speaker 9: Twenty fourteen. This was That's what's ups that? Two Debbie Saturdays?
Speaker 9: I think Saturdays twenty two. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, this
Speaker 9: was Saturdays. I think this was just before the record
Speaker 9: came out.
Speaker 3: They're already short answers. I'm going to ask you a
Speaker 3: couple of them.
Speaker 7: And see what it was then more comparing.
Speaker 3: We'll compare the answers to what your answer would be
Speaker 3: now and what it was then. So what's your favorite word?
Speaker 7: Probably butt cheeks.
