Speaker 4: desk job.

25
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 2: So in that way, everything is wait.

26
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: So when you travel, would we recognize you walking through

27
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,240

Speaker 4: I'm I like it because it feels Yeah, it feels good.

32
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 4: But I realize a lot of people only know what

33
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 4: my hair looks like. So if I wear a hat,

34
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 4: then you know it won't happen. So if I was

35
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 4: like there was a jingle ball where I, like, you know,

36
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 4: I performed and then I went to like a restaurant

37
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 4: across the street, and like people would see me, and

38
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 4: so then I put on a hat and then no.

39
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 2: One ever came to me, And I was like, this

40
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,440

63
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,640

00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 2: Everyone knows about it.

86
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 3: It's a dream bucket list for sure.

87
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.

88
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

89
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 2: People kept being like, you're gonna be at Red Rocks,

90
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 2: Like the.

91
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: Red Rocks is a outdoor venue in Colorado, Yeah, and

92
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: SNeW what it was.

93
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, and it like apparently apparently.

94
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 4: Well look if I say something wrong, I've never been there,

95
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 4: but apparently it's like in a cave or something or

96
00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 4: like looks really, I don't know, you're no in your

97
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 4: head like you might know. Yeah, everybody's I haven't been,

98
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 4: But it's about the list because everybody talks about like

99
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 4: the acoustics because it just bounces off the cave and

100
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 4: it's just like, really really good.

101
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 2: I want to go. Yeah, it's wild. So I'll tell

112
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 2: I don't know how good I am.

113
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 4: You know, I'm good at picking some songs, you know,

114
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 4: I'm not really the transitions I'm working on, and I'm

115
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 4: working on it. You know, maybe you'll see me up

116
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 4: up there DJ and at some point.

117
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: But uh, you know, there's there's something I think connective

118
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: to that song that we just played their Million Dollar

119
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: Baby and Little Booth. Thing Like when you play that

120
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: Tommy Richmond song, it just like the second it starts,

121
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: it stands out. It just jumps out in front of

122
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: everything else that we're playing. And Lo bou Thing did

123
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 1: the same thing the second you start that song, don't

124
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:11,359
Speaker 1: you It just jumped at you.

125
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,039
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I think I think it did have that

126
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:15,840
Speaker 4: impact for a lot of people, which which I love.

127
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 2: I think. Uh, you mentioned DJ.

128
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 4: I always think about how I feel like being a

129
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 4: good musician is a lot like being a good DJ,

130
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 4: because you have to like figure out what's going to

131
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 4: stand out to people, like like what's gonna make people

132
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 4: have the emotion that they want to have so that

133
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 4: they stay on the dance floor, you know.

134
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 1: So you you go back to the drawing board after

135
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 1: global success of Loboo thing you were going to desk job,

136
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: this happens, your life changes, and now there's the pressure

137
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: to do it again.

138
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 2: Right, It's like, what where did you start?

139
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: Because I'm gonna play what you did that's got real

140
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: heat behind it.

141
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 2: But where did you start? What were you telling yourself?

142
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.

143
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 4: Well, definitely in the beginning, it was just terrifying, being like,

144
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 4: oh my gosh, Like I'm gonna have to keep making

145
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 4: music and hope people like it, you know, But I mean,

146
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 4: gladly it's something that I just enjoy doing. But I

147
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 4: think for this song, you know, a thing that I

148
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,039
Speaker 4: do a lot of times is I'll just think about

149
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 4: what's the sort of music that I really want to

150
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 4: listen to. But I just haven't heard anything that sounds

151
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 4: like that in a little bit. And there's like a

152
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 4: category of songs. I don't know how to define it,

153
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 4: but it's songs like like just a Friend by Bismarcky

154
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 4: or like like.

155
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 2: Like Miss Jackson by.

156
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 4: So it's like something, Yeah, it's like, hey, there we go, okay,

157
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 4: but those songs just make me want to sing along

158
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,039

209
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: MegaNet Trainer teaming up.

210
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,439
Speaker 2: So wait, what's the sample on that? Nothing? We just

211
00:09:56,040 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 2: it sounds like something that heard it for the first time.

212
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 2: He was just like it's there's something there. Yeah, it's not.

213
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 2: It's funny.

214
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 4: What we did was we it was actually like the

215
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 4: producer on the song and I sat there and like

216
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 4: recorded ourselves singing and then used like AI to make

217
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:14,199
Speaker 4: it sound like a girl.

218
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 2: And then and then that was the sample, you know,

219
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:22,319
Speaker 2: which is not a sample at all. So that's so fascinating. Cool.

220
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: So you used a similar like architectural structure to the

221
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: song because it's an instant.

222
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 2: Instantly familiar almost exactly. Wow, that's the trick making.

223
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,439
Speaker 4: I definitely think the goal is to make stuff that

224
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 4: you feel like you've heard it before but you haven't.

225
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's how you know you're tapping into something.

226
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,559
Speaker 1: Or you just feel like you know it immediately, right like,

227
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 1: oh I've heard that song once, I know it. And

228
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:49,719
Speaker 1: a real uh read on a song moving us is

229
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: when the three of us awkwardly look at you and

230
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: dance while you're in the studio while we listen to

231
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: your song. I think that's a real I love it
