0:00:00.360 --> 0:00:03.680
<v Speaker 1>Quest Love Show is a production of iHeartRadio.

0:00:18.600 --> 0:00:21.520
<v Speaker 2>I am cousin Jake, producer of The Quest Love Show.

0:00:21.560 --> 0:00:24.680

<v Speaker 2>any ideas just for these little mini conversations, do let

0:00:45.560 --> 0:00:54.680
<v Speaker 2>us know, and please be liking subscribing. So we recently

0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:57.360
<v Speaker 2>on one of these mini episodes of The Questlove Show,

0:00:58.120 --> 0:01:00.400
<v Speaker 2>we talked about sinners. I want to move from film

0:01:00.440 --> 0:01:03.680
<v Speaker 2>to television. You know, you talk a lot in passing

0:01:03.720 --> 0:01:05.920
<v Speaker 2>about shows, and I don't know how you have the

0:01:05.920 --> 0:01:08.480
<v Speaker 2>time to watch all these different things, plus have ten jobs.

0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:11.600
<v Speaker 2>But I want to ask what people sitting next to

0:01:11.640 --> 0:01:13.319
<v Speaker 2>each other on a plane or a train might ask,

0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:14.559
<v Speaker 2>what are you currently watching?

0:01:15.920 --> 0:01:19.520
<v Speaker 1>God, you gotta make me do this, aren't you. I've

0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:27.600
<v Speaker 1>witnessed two couples break up because of not honoring the

0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:36.319
<v Speaker 1>sacred contract or code of cheating on a series. On

0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:42.040
<v Speaker 1>a series, I'm dead ass like it wasn't the thing

0:01:42.080 --> 0:01:44.760
<v Speaker 1>that broke them up, but it was the straw that

0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:49.040
<v Speaker 1>broke the camel's back. And I guess I can tell

0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:52.000
<v Speaker 1>the story, which is basically a couple I knew that

0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:55.640
<v Speaker 1>broke up. And this is like three years ago, so

0:01:55.880 --> 0:02:02.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, the grace period's over. I guess he decided.

0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:05.600
<v Speaker 1>I think it's either a tragedy, stuck or something like

0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:08.200
<v Speaker 1>there was a reason why she had to miss four

0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:15.720
<v Speaker 1>episodes or whatever they committed to watching, and so he

0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:20.800
<v Speaker 1>decided to get a secret Amazon account or whatever so

0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:23.200
<v Speaker 1>that he could watch this. And often, you know, with

0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:28.320
<v Speaker 1>anyone who's technically challenged, and I've been one of these people,

0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:32.160
<v Speaker 1>there's some people that don't know that if you buy

0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:37.960
<v Speaker 1>an iPhone and an iPad or another laptop in your

0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:41.280
<v Speaker 1>name and use the same cloud, all the information is

0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:45.040
<v Speaker 1>going to go to all three devices. So she's very

0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:51.280
<v Speaker 1>much aware that he's going further into the series, but

0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:54.120
<v Speaker 1>she wants to use this as a tester. And so

0:02:54.160 --> 0:02:57.760
<v Speaker 1>they're watching and he's acting all shocked and oh my god,

0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:03.600
<v Speaker 1>did you know in his mind, probably a ward worthy

0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:09.079
<v Speaker 1>acting job of the year whatever, and she gave him

0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:12.240
<v Speaker 1>a chance to come clean. It's like and wasn't even like,

0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:14.840
<v Speaker 1>so you didn't see this? Or She's like, why did

0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:17.000
<v Speaker 1>you go through all that when you saw it already?

0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:19.960
<v Speaker 1>And then that just like I didn't see it already?

0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:22.040
<v Speaker 1>Why are you wanted me? Why did you see I

0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:25.280
<v Speaker 1>She pulled out the iPad says you've seen it already,

0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:28.040
<v Speaker 1>and then that led to see what else are you

0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:30.800
<v Speaker 1>lying about? And then they trust issues. They were just

0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:33.720
<v Speaker 1>never the same. They broke up like maybe four months later.

0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:39.480
<v Speaker 1>So I vowed to never I was like, I don't

0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:46.200
<v Speaker 1>care what happens. We're not committing to a show, yeah,

0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:50.600
<v Speaker 1>because I just never ever seen any good happen out

0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:53.760
<v Speaker 1>of this if it goes awry, and I have way

0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:56.160
<v Speaker 1>too many TVs around me to, you know, and I

0:03:56.200 --> 0:03:59.440
<v Speaker 1>want to cheat or whatever and see what happens. And

0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:04.080
<v Speaker 1>so we agreed to not do it. And then we

0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:07.080
<v Speaker 1>started being in a position where we would go to

0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:12.320
<v Speaker 1>dinner with friends and they started talking about the love

0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:16.919
<v Speaker 1>story the JFK. And first I was like, I'm good,

0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:20.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm not a Ryan Murphy head, like I haven't watched

0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:23.480
<v Speaker 1>all the other stuff, so I was like, all right, well,

0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:25.680
<v Speaker 1>i'll miss this one out. But I mean people, just

0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:27.680
<v Speaker 1>the way they talk about I was like, fomo, like

0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:30.920
<v Speaker 1>you got to see this. And I started noticing that

0:04:31.680 --> 0:04:35.599
<v Speaker 1>we're in a weird nineteen ninety seven regression right now.

0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:39.400
<v Speaker 1>There's a lot of new restaurants and bars in my

0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:42.080
<v Speaker 1>neighborhood that are trying to give you the feeling of

0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:45.520
<v Speaker 1>what Sex and the City felt like its first season.

0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:48.599
<v Speaker 1>Like there's literally a club that plays nothing but Sex

0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:52.080
<v Speaker 1>and the City highlights, and literally people are cosplaying like

0:04:52.120 --> 0:04:54.440
<v Speaker 1>it's nineteen ninety seven. The jeans right now that are

0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:56.919
<v Speaker 1>in you know, there you go, so it's it's nineteen

0:04:56.960 --> 0:04:59.920
<v Speaker 1>ninety seven again anyway. So we're like, all right, well,

0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:02.560
<v Speaker 1>let's do this. But I was very cautious and against it.

0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:04.760
<v Speaker 1>But it's like, okay, well, we'll commit to this thing.

0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:09.799
<v Speaker 1>And it turns out that, you know, there was because

0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:12.480
<v Speaker 1>of my touring schedule and stuff, we stopped at episode

0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:16.320
<v Speaker 1>five and here we are now on episode eight, and

0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:21.640
<v Speaker 1>I find out like two weeks ago that she's seeing

0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:24.159
<v Speaker 1>it through and I'm like, wait a minute, Like what

0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:28.400
<v Speaker 1>happened to our agreement that we were, and she was like, well,

0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:33.480
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know you were serious. Like I was like, no, Like,

0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:35.120
<v Speaker 1>I told you the whole story of the breakup and

0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:37.200
<v Speaker 1>all that stuff, and now you begging me to commit

0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:38.240
<v Speaker 1>to the thing. I was like, I don't want to

0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:39.520
<v Speaker 1>commit to the thing. I don't want to commit to

0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:41.760
<v Speaker 1>the thing. I was like, I relented and I did it,

0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:45.839
<v Speaker 1>and I legit felt away. Yeah, I was heard over that.

0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:49.479
<v Speaker 1>I was like, and I'm still I'm not caught up,

0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:52.159
<v Speaker 1>and she's already caught up. So yeah, love.

0:05:52.000 --> 0:05:54.600
<v Speaker 2>Story, love story, gontch you and I will say this,

0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:58.560
<v Speaker 2>I've only been married three years. Whole past works if

0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:00.760
<v Speaker 2>you're traveling, you can give someone a whole past to

0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:02.560
<v Speaker 2>cheatingh episode, but you got to communicate that.

0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:06.640
<v Speaker 1>Well, yeah, now you know there's there's the pit. She's

0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:09.120
<v Speaker 1>already ahead on the pit. I have to catch up

0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:13.599
<v Speaker 1>on the pit. She's also introduced another distraction in my

0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:18.679
<v Speaker 1>life that is getting really really bad. I didn't resist

0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:22.760
<v Speaker 1>it for snarky reasons or like because I think I'm

0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:26.320
<v Speaker 1>better than or whatever, but just in general, I barely

0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:33.200
<v Speaker 1>have watched any Kardashian related entertainment. Dog I saw one

0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:38.240
<v Speaker 1>episode because she had it on in the room and

0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:40.720
<v Speaker 1>they made a reference to something in the past or whatever,

0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:43.920
<v Speaker 1>and then I started asking questions, So what happened when

0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:45.560
<v Speaker 1>da da da da da da? He said, well, that

0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:48.200
<v Speaker 1>was like season thirteen. You gotta know. Well, wait what

0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:50.359
<v Speaker 1>happened da da da da da? Woll too, that was

0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:53.760
<v Speaker 1>like season eight, And it just so happened. It was

0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:56.640
<v Speaker 1>like one of them days where I had, like we

0:06:56.680 --> 0:07:01.320
<v Speaker 1>had a hiatus, I have three days off, and I

0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:05.960
<v Speaker 1>was in a hotel that happened to have Apple TV. Dude,

0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:09.840
<v Speaker 1>I fell down the whole bad. Like I started on

0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:15.560
<v Speaker 1>season one, I did not recognize who I was watching.

0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:18.080
<v Speaker 1>It's almost to the point where now I have to

0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:22.640
<v Speaker 1>watch the entire arc just so I can see them

0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:29.160
<v Speaker 1>morph into what I am used to now because it's

0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:33.400
<v Speaker 1>just night and day, like just for science. So like

0:07:33.440 --> 0:07:36.360
<v Speaker 1>I want to see how this works. Yeah, I got you. Yeah,

0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:37.440
<v Speaker 1>When is your TV time?

0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:38.880
<v Speaker 2>Does it just vary when you have downtime?

0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:42.880
<v Speaker 1>TV is? I mean the way TV works in my

0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:46.640
<v Speaker 1>life is TV is more or less like an aquarium.

0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:51.240
<v Speaker 1>When I explained how I researched Summer of Soul, I

0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:54.160
<v Speaker 1>just kept all forty hours on a constant rotation.

0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:57.760
<v Speaker 2>It's in the background of many a QLs playing exactly.

0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:03.000
<v Speaker 1>And so those that really know me know that seventy

0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:05.960
<v Speaker 1>percent of the time. I mean, I have pretty much

0:08:06.080 --> 0:08:11.440
<v Speaker 1>one laptop with every all one thousand plus episodes of

0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:14.400
<v Speaker 1>Soul Train on it. I just got all the SNL

0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:18.400
<v Speaker 1>episodes because of what I did research wise. I mean,

0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:23.000
<v Speaker 1>it's just constantly playing. Maybe three years ago I decided

0:08:23.080 --> 0:08:28.160
<v Speaker 1>to stop sleeping to noise. I used to always keep

0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:32.200
<v Speaker 1>Soul Trained on even as I slept, wake up Soul Train,

0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:36.880
<v Speaker 1>and it's usually depending on who I'm dating and her

0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:43.760
<v Speaker 1>tolerance for Whenever the uh wow, you uh you really

0:08:43.800 --> 0:08:48.160
<v Speaker 1>like Soul Training? Do you like? That's it? When I

0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:50.079
<v Speaker 1>hear that, I'm like, all right, let me scale back

0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:52.800
<v Speaker 1>and only do I'm a scale back and just do

0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:56.760
<v Speaker 1>ten episodes a day, just ten, not twenty, but just

0:08:56.800 --> 0:08:59.920
<v Speaker 1>ten episodes a day. So in my office at thirty Rock,

0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:04.680
<v Speaker 1>I have it constantly running. Tarika is man. The way

0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:08.520
<v Speaker 1>that he dives into every there's no television show he

0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:12.080
<v Speaker 1>doesn't see. Tarik's schedule is he'll go to bed super early,

0:09:12.800 --> 0:09:16.200
<v Speaker 1>but he'll get up at three thirty four am. You know,

0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:18.280
<v Speaker 1>he'll get the kids lunch ready and on stuff. But

0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:23.400
<v Speaker 1>he'll catch up on his writing and whatever TV shows

0:09:23.440 --> 0:09:27.080
<v Speaker 1>he missed, like for him being alone while everyone's asleep

0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:31.000
<v Speaker 1>those four hours I get between three thirty AM and

0:09:31.040 --> 0:09:33.520
<v Speaker 1>when people wake up at like seven thirty eight, Like

0:09:33.559 --> 0:09:36.360
<v Speaker 1>that's his thing. So he's always like, Yo, you gotta

0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:38.800
<v Speaker 1>watch it. That's crazy. So when like a guest comes

0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:41.360
<v Speaker 1>on the show, he'll already seen it. It's like, Yo,

0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:44.360
<v Speaker 1>you gotta see it. Jone's crazy. James Poison will be like, yeah,

0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:47.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm seeing it. So, I mean, I'll usually catch up

0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:53.760
<v Speaker 1>on any dramas. I'm trying to finish shrinking right now,

0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:57.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to finish like, uh, Floor of Us, like

0:09:57.840 --> 0:10:01.120
<v Speaker 1>all of those Apple drama whatever. I'll finish that in

0:10:01.160 --> 0:10:06.560
<v Speaker 1>the office, But when i'm home, it's either movies or soldiering.

0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:10.520
<v Speaker 2>Last question, you make some deep poll references. You're the

0:10:10.559 --> 0:10:14.400
<v Speaker 2>only person I know that has multiple times referenced the

0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:15.720
<v Speaker 2>Parker Lewis Can't Lose.

0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:17.199
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

<v Speaker 2>You also Goooby Snack put me on to the Doobie

0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:24.320
<v Speaker 2>Brothers bootleg episode of What's Happening comes up a lot

0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:26.560
<v Speaker 2>as an analogy of other things going on in life

0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:30.079
<v Speaker 2>and closing put the people onto an overlooked or underrated

0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:34.240
<v Speaker 2>show just throughout history that you deeply appreciate but might

0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:36.600
<v Speaker 2>not get the real estate on the streaming apps.

0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:41.439
<v Speaker 1>All right, So Lenda CARLINI was just on the Tonight Show,

0:10:42.080 --> 0:10:44.280
<v Speaker 1>but she had left the building before I got a

0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:50.760
<v Speaker 1>chance to tell her how crucial instrumental me watching Freaks

0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:57.520
<v Speaker 1>and Geeks was to the roots current business operandi right now.

0:10:57.920 --> 0:11:03.320
<v Speaker 1>Freaks and Geese, of course, is Judd Apatow's series that

0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:07.880
<v Speaker 1>you know. James Franco's in it, Linda's in it, everyone, yeah,

0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:11.600
<v Speaker 1>Seth Rogan's Everyone's in it, like all anyone that's ever

0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:17.040
<v Speaker 1>been in a Judd Apatow sphere like is in this series.

0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:21.640
<v Speaker 1>It was just one season only, and it's literally it's

0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:25.920
<v Speaker 1>almost like somewhere in between the wonder years of my

0:11:26.000 --> 0:11:30.200
<v Speaker 1>soul called life or or almost Famous. So it's a

0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:33.920
<v Speaker 1>series about a family in the early eighties to whom

0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:37.959
<v Speaker 1>I don't know it yet, but the daughter is going

0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:43.680
<v Speaker 1>to wind up being a dead head. She decides to

0:11:44.600 --> 0:11:46.920
<v Speaker 1>put off college in the gap year. She doesn't even

0:11:46.920 --> 0:11:50.840
<v Speaker 1>tell her family, I don't believe, and she just blindly

0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:56.400
<v Speaker 1>hops in a Volkswagen Van and decides she's going to

0:11:57.320 --> 0:12:00.560
<v Speaker 1>trail to the Grateful Dead, and and it just so

0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:03.120
<v Speaker 1>happens I happen to be on the tour bus with

0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:06.920
<v Speaker 1>my manager, down White, who's been my DJ manager for

0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:10.440
<v Speaker 1>like twenty plus years, and she's like, oh, that was

0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:13.360
<v Speaker 1>my story. I was a deadhead. And I was like,

0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:16.080
<v Speaker 1>all right, explain that culture to me, because I don't

0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:19.800
<v Speaker 1>get like people are constantly telling me, like, yo, you

0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:23.920
<v Speaker 1>guys should jam more and solo more, Like your shows

0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:27.040
<v Speaker 1>are so calculated, well rehearsed, and you could run it

0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:29.720
<v Speaker 1>by the clock and you know, there's no spontaneity in it.

0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:32.079
<v Speaker 1>You're a band, for God's sakes, like rehearse a little bit.

0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:35.040
<v Speaker 1>But I think I was more or less gunshy to

0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:40.640
<v Speaker 1>do that because critics were really not good to jam bands.

0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:44.080
<v Speaker 1>You know. It just so happens that when she was like, yeah,

0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:47.240
<v Speaker 1>you should, really, I was like, I don't know, Like

0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:49.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't see the value and Grateful Dead or whatever.

0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:52.800
<v Speaker 1>But we just happened to be somewhere in Rhode Island

0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:56.800
<v Speaker 1>and we happen to be playing a club owned by

0:12:56.840 --> 0:12:59.959
<v Speaker 1>one of the members of Fish Okay, And she was saying,

0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:03.400
<v Speaker 1>and the collation between like Fish is the new Grateful

0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:05.320
<v Speaker 1>Dead and Da da Da. She's trying to explain to me,

0:13:05.400 --> 0:13:08.080
<v Speaker 1>like why Fish is so important and it's not just

0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:11.199
<v Speaker 1>a band that has an ice cream flavor that you know,

0:13:11.400 --> 0:13:13.439
<v Speaker 1>but like this is what they mean, Like I didn't

0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:17.040
<v Speaker 1>get the meaning of fish. And the other thing about

0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:20.920
<v Speaker 1>this is that hub our bass player had to miss

0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:24.960
<v Speaker 1>this gig, so Tuba had to be the bass player.

0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:30.800
<v Speaker 1>And kind of when that aesthetic is missing, you have

0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:34.640
<v Speaker 1>to figure out other ways to keep the show punchy.

0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:39.199
<v Speaker 1>And so we kind of morphed into a jam band

0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:42.880
<v Speaker 1>or at least a really really funked out hip hop

0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:48.160
<v Speaker 1>version of like a New Orleans line band with Go

0:13:48.160 --> 0:13:52.040
<v Speaker 1>Go whatever. But it was real jammy and it wound

0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:56.920
<v Speaker 1>up like because of that audience, knowing that the establishment

0:13:56.960 --> 0:13:59.840
<v Speaker 1>that they were in, like they were a jam band audience,

0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:03.040
<v Speaker 1>and the way they just kept cheering his arm like

0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:07.360
<v Speaker 1>we'd never seen him at a hip hop show, and

0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:09.600
<v Speaker 1>that just led me down another rabbit hole and another

0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:11.640
<v Speaker 1>rabbit hole, and another rabbit hole and another and then

0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:15.240
<v Speaker 1>next thing, you know, like shout out to Dan Pertussie

0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:18.360
<v Speaker 1>at okay player like hooking us up with Fish to

0:14:18.400 --> 0:14:21.240
<v Speaker 1>see like one of their last I guess Dan had

0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:24.880
<v Speaker 1>convinced them to like let the roots trail you guys,

0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:27.080
<v Speaker 1>just to see like because he's been trying for the

0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:31.920
<v Speaker 1>longest on the road. Yeah, we did. Me Sean Gee,

0:14:32.040 --> 0:14:36.640
<v Speaker 1>my manager, Richard, my manager, and Dan. We went. I

0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:41.320
<v Speaker 1>went to either two or three shows, and Dan just

0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:43.400
<v Speaker 1>wanted to see the lay of the land because I

0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:46.360
<v Speaker 1>was anti taping, like why are they taping our shows?

0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:50.240
<v Speaker 1>And trading and you know, and then you want us

0:14:50.240 --> 0:14:52.360
<v Speaker 1>to sell what we just did on stage, like in

0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:55.600
<v Speaker 1>the at the Merchant, So like one show, I just

0:14:55.760 --> 0:14:59.520
<v Speaker 1>stayed in the merch area to see, like the band's

0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:01.160
<v Speaker 1>on stage. It's like, why are you guys stayed in

0:15:01.280 --> 0:15:04.600
<v Speaker 1>line like they were literally waiting for the tapes from

0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:06.480
<v Speaker 1>like last night show to be ready. I'm like, but

0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:10.880
<v Speaker 1>you're missing. I've just never seen anything like that. And

0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:14.480
<v Speaker 1>once I realized that, because my main question was how's

0:15:14.520 --> 0:15:19.120
<v Speaker 1>this band making over eight figures a year? How are

0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:22.360
<v Speaker 1>they selling out Madison Square Gardens seven nights in a row?

0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:26.040
<v Speaker 1>And they never did TRL or one of six in park,

0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:29.320
<v Speaker 1>like they don't need a hot sixteen from Jazy right,

0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:34.360
<v Speaker 1>and like how are they? I know, we do more

0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:38.080
<v Speaker 1>than like how are they winning? And I had to

0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:42.360
<v Speaker 1>learn that language. So, you know, I will say that

0:15:42.480 --> 0:15:47.800
<v Speaker 1>Freaks and Geeks really was the perfect gateway drug for

0:15:47.920 --> 0:15:51.760
<v Speaker 1>me to understand. And I'm still we're still navigating, and

0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:54.080
<v Speaker 1>I know we're pioneers in this thing. And yes, I

0:15:54.120 --> 0:15:56.440
<v Speaker 1>know there's like snarky puppy, I know that on the

0:15:56.480 --> 0:15:59.520
<v Speaker 1>jam band circuit, like there's more what I will say,

0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:06.560
<v Speaker 1>groove warriored bands there. But yeah, definitely in those first

0:16:06.840 --> 0:16:11.080
<v Speaker 1>three years it was like they never or been dying

0:16:11.200 --> 0:16:16.680
<v Speaker 1>or starving for like funk on a jam level, like

0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:21.800
<v Speaker 1>really good musicians that are like really know their music

0:16:21.880 --> 0:16:25.320
<v Speaker 1>and their grooves and stuff. And so it is an

0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:29.000
<v Speaker 1>uncharted territory. You know. We'll end on with levity.

0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:31.720
<v Speaker 2>You recently shared a great story in the Jamie Lee

0:16:31.720 --> 0:16:34.200
<v Speaker 2>Curtis episode of playing in the Air Tonight in a

0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:38.880
<v Speaker 2>drumstick literally backfire. Yeah, my favorite opening of any episode

0:16:38.880 --> 0:16:40.720
<v Speaker 2>of Freaks and Geeks is Jason.

0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:44.560
<v Speaker 1>Jason Siegel's character is a drummer. He's in his garage

0:16:44.600 --> 0:16:45.560
<v Speaker 1>and he adores rush.

0:16:45.840 --> 0:16:49.400
<v Speaker 2>Yes, the dry mass and the whole thing, and it

0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:51.840
<v Speaker 2>does not go the way he imagines. Yes, for you

0:16:51.880 --> 0:16:54.200
<v Speaker 2>did you have a moment in watching that great cold

0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:56.360
<v Speaker 2>opening that channeled any moment of yours?

0:16:56.360 --> 0:16:59.920
<v Speaker 1>Of grandeur? I can top it. I believe his first

0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:04.719
<v Speaker 1>walk on song on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon was

0:17:04.880 --> 0:17:08.680
<v Speaker 1>us doing Tom Oh Tom Sawyer. Yes, us doing Tom

0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:11.840
<v Speaker 1>Sawyer for for that exact yes, for that reference. Yeah,

0:17:11.880 --> 0:17:14.280
<v Speaker 1>and he got it. I love, I love want to

0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:18.920
<v Speaker 1>walk on reference lands? Yeah, because when I walked from

0:17:18.960 --> 0:17:22.560
<v Speaker 1>behind the curtain, you can faintly hear the band, like

0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:24.639
<v Speaker 1>if the audience is cheering like that, you can hear

0:17:24.680 --> 0:17:27.320
<v Speaker 1>the audience louder than you hear the band. So oftentimes,

0:17:27.359 --> 0:17:29.840
<v Speaker 1>like the band will tease me because I will work

0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:32.200
<v Speaker 1>them so hard just to pull out some like really

0:17:33.040 --> 0:17:37.359
<v Speaker 1>weird reference for the artists coming out, and when it

0:17:37.400 --> 0:17:41.480
<v Speaker 1>doesn't land, they just look at me like we could

0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:44.200
<v Speaker 1>add an extra half hour of lunch and they missed

0:17:44.240 --> 0:17:47.680
<v Speaker 1>a reference. But usually a note will come, Oh my god,

0:17:47.720 --> 0:17:49.880
<v Speaker 1>my publish just told me you did no not from

0:17:49.880 --> 0:17:51.720
<v Speaker 1>my childhood. How does that upset you all that the

0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:54.840
<v Speaker 1>secrets out? Or uh no, no, no, I mean it.

0:17:55.760 --> 0:17:59.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean people generally know, I mean that we tailored,

0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:02.480
<v Speaker 1>but they know ahead of time. No, no, no, don't tell

0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:05.000
<v Speaker 1>me that's what I mean. So they get after like on,

0:18:05.320 --> 0:18:08.320
<v Speaker 1>once they watch the show, they'll be like, wait a minute,

0:18:08.720 --> 0:18:12.159
<v Speaker 1>I was on the show. This local public asks us, so,

0:18:12.280 --> 0:18:14.680
<v Speaker 1>how do you know that? So I have a whole

0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:18.280
<v Speaker 1>slew of how did you know that? It's your hard war? Yes,

0:18:18.560 --> 0:18:22.480
<v Speaker 1>got okay? Shout out to Tom Hayes and Sean and

0:18:22.560 --> 0:18:26.800
