And I will tell you 149 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 2: the name of it. It's actually all the way at 150 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 2: the tip. I think it's called South Urn Bay. Oh, no, 151 00:07:55,760 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 2: Cloger Strand ooh, And it's kind of at the western 152 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 2: tip of the Dingle Pizza It's just the water is 153 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 2: just crystal clear, bright blue, and it's the most And 154 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 2: then we walked along this bluff just next to horses, 155 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 2: just beautiful like what seem to be like Clydesdale ponies, 156 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 2: like giant but they had furry ankles and they're just 157 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 2: just chew chowing down on some grass next to the 158 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,439 Speaker 2: most gorgeous view.

Yeah, and that 160 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:37,679 Speaker 2: was the thing that I think, this is the thing 161 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 2: that struck me the most. And I guess it's just 162 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 2: a lower population than the United States. But a location 163 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 2: such as that we were in in the United States 164 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 2: would have a four seasons built on top of it 165 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 2: within moments, like if Ireland became part of America, within moments, 166 00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 2: there would be a four seasons there. And it's not 167 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 2: it's just open grazing land. And then maybe there's a 168 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:08,599 Speaker 2: farmhouse across the bay and that's it. That is absolutely it. 169 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 2: It is like I totally totally would live there. 170 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 3: Oh my God, of course it's beautiful.

And we stayed in a castle 174 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 2: which sounds like and it's not, but it's not. It's 175 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 2: not like there's just so many castles castles. You can 176 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 2: just stay in a castle. We stayed in this castle 177 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:42,559 Speaker 2: called Abbey Glen. Abbey Glen Castle in up North northwest 178 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:48,199 Speaker 2: northwest of Galway. I'm in Connemara area. It's in a 179 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 2: little town called Clifton. I would highly recommend it to anybody. 180 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:57,199 Speaker 2: The rooms are not like like insanely expensive, and then 181 00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 2: you get there and it's like being it was the 182 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 2: felt like do you remember I don't know if you 183 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:08,440 Speaker 2: had this in Baltimore, but ads for beautiful Mount Dairy Lodge. Yeah, 184 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 2: of course, Mount Dairy, Lah, Yes, of course. So that 185 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 2: is what the entire experience of being in the castle 186 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 2: felt like. So if nobody remembers this, if you're not 187 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 2: from the East Coast in that specific time, it was 188 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 2: like a I don't know, a resort I guess in 189 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 2: the Poconos that had like hot tubs made made like 190 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 2: champagne glasses. 191 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 3: Heart shaped, yeah, heart shaped jacuzzis, oh yeah yeah. 192 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,080 Speaker 2: And that was the vibe. And there was a host. 193 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,959 Speaker 2: There was like a guy who's family owned the castle 194 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 2: and he was your host each evening and something would happen, 195 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 2: but he would literally walk around. He would give it 196 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 2: like a talk about the castle in the lobby and 197 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,599 Speaker 2: you got free champagne, and then you would like it 198 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 2: sounds like I'm doing an ad and then you get 199 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 2: up and then it's a nice meal and he's just 200 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 2: walking around. And then afterwards in the bar there's live 201 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:05,559 Speaker 2: music and he's just there buying people drinks. We like 202 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 2: just chatted with him for a long time about his 203 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,839 Speaker 2: kids and whatnot, and it was so nice. And the 204 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 2: idea is really that, like there's a host to every night, 205 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 2: and every night is like a part it's like a party, 206 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 2: and it feels like summer camp. 207 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 3: And it was like a. 208 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 2: Welcome reprieve after a lot of driving with two kids 209 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:25,839 Speaker 2: in the car. 210 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 3: Oh God, did you happen to pass through Waterville in 211 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 3: Carry County or County carriage? 212 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 2: I did not. 213 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 3: They very famously have that Charlie Chaplin statue just at 214 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 3: just on the it's like right off the road, and 215 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 3: it's a it's a great one. It's a fun little town. 216 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,679 Speaker 3: It's I stayed near there in an airbnb called the 217 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 3: cow Shed, which was a shed in the Cow Country 218 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 3: surrounded by cows. But yeah, I drove right by. It 219 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,319 Speaker 3: was like, holy smokes, that's it. I'd heard of that 220 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 3: one for years. But yeah, there's just a random Charlie Chaplin. 221 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 3: I think you stayed at the hotel there once or 222 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 3: something like that, and then for some reason there's a 223 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 3: Charlie Chaplin statue and I think it's Waterville, Ireland. What 224 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 3: a place. Also, I'm glad that you drove it because 225 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,839 Speaker 3: it's a unique driving experience there. Yeah, roads are small, 226 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,679 Speaker 3: they're very narrow, but you really get to see the countryside. 227 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,839 Speaker 2: It is really crazy that you just there are just 228 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 2: certain sections where you're like, I'm gonna I'm gonna hit 229 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 2: this car and you never do somehow never do you 230 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 2: somehow never do. But sometimes you have to like pull 231 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 2: over into and then there's just a lot of like 232 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 2: bridges where it's just narrow enough for the car's wheels 233 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 2: and so you have to wait while the other car 234 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 2: comes over and then you go over. But god, oh man, 235 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 2: it was great. We would see the most amazing things. 236 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,959 Speaker 2: And the only thing the kids talked about was the 237 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:52,440 Speaker 2: revolving door at the airport. 238 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 3: That was like, that's mean. 239 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 2: They didn't shut the fuck up. About the revolving door 240 00:12:58,280 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 2: at the airport for eight days. 241 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 3: Street Hey, it must have been pretty good.

Is this uptown or downtown? I'm like, 344 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 3: And I was always having to pull headphones out, so 345 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 3: I guess if it's a rupt and laughter and then 346 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:41,679 Speaker 3: answer the question. I think i'd rather do that. If 347 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,399 Speaker 3: I could only laugh, I'd go crying at boats. 348 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 2: And did I ever tell you that when I was 349 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:51,119 Speaker 2: in DC. I'm in DC, I'm doing shows, I'm staying 350 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:55,440 Speaker 2: at a hotel, I'm literally standing and it's like summertime 351 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 2: in DC. So I'm standing outside of a hotel. I've 352 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 2: just exited the hotel. I'm wearing a backpack and shorts. 353 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,639 Speaker 2: I look like a tourist right standing in front hotel, 354 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 2: backpack on my back, and people walk like this like 355 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,159 Speaker 2: I don't know. Fifty five year old couple walks up 356 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 2: to me and says, excuse me, do you know which 357 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 2: direction Avenue E is? And I just I was like, 358 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:24,360 Speaker 2: you really gonna ask me? I'm fully aware, We're all 359 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:28,639 Speaker 2: fully aware that we have a supercomputer in our pocket 360 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:32,440 Speaker 2: that will locate you on any place on planet Earth, 361 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 2: will tell you immediately which direction avenue he is. But 362 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 2: you're gonna ask the guy with a backpack off and 363 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,160 Speaker 2: stand it outside the hotel. And so I just rich, 364 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:45,879 Speaker 2: I picked a direction and I just randomly pointed in 365 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,359 Speaker 2: it because that's the way they want to live their life. 366 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 2: I'm gonna let them live their life the way they 367 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:54,400 Speaker 2: want to live it, which is full of wonder, never 368 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:58,200 Speaker 2: knowing an exploration, because obviously that's what you're looking for. 369 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 2: Asking the guy with the back pack sound standing in 370 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 2: front of the Americana Hotel which direction to go in? 371 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 3: Yep, that's right, And like I was a waiter forever 372 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 3: and one of the most annoying things is when people 373 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,639 Speaker 3: are like, what should I get or what's good here? 374 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:14,920 Speaker 3: Maybe I'm sure I mentioned this before on the pod, 375 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,199 Speaker 3: but like the better way to ask that is, are 376 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,920 Speaker 3: what are some of the most popular things on your menu? 377 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:24,240 Speaker 3: Just say that, because you've just put servers in such 378 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 3: a pickle if you just say to them, hey, tell 379 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,920 Speaker 3: me what to order, and then I don't know you man. 380 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 3: One time I was on a road trip in North 381 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:34,879 Speaker 3: Carolina and it was one of those things. This was 382 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 3: a long time ago, like I may have still had 383 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 3: a Garmin GPS at the time. I'm talking two thousand 384 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:47,119 Speaker 3: and three, two thousand and four, and I remember the 385 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 3: garment like up updated or whatever. I was driving, and 386 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,159 Speaker 3: then it sent me on a new highway and it 387 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,360 Speaker 3: was somewhere in the Carolinas, I think it was North Carolina, 388 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,479 Speaker 3: and I was on a highway and then just up 389 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 3: ahead there was off ramps on both sides and then 390 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 3: the highway US stopped. There was oh yeah, there were 391 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:07,719 Speaker 3: like yellow barriers and orange barriers. Was like highway ends. 392 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,200 Speaker 3: But I was just cruising at eighty miles an hour 393 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,200 Speaker 3: and then suddenly was like, oh my god, and I 394 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,159 Speaker 3: had like slam on the brakes and take an exit. 395 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,719 Speaker 3: But I just didn't know. In America, we just had 396 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 3: highways that could just end somewhere, and so like, thank god, 397 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,160 Speaker 3: it wasn't looking at a smartphone or was it, because 398 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,479 Speaker 3: I was just cruising down the highway and then there 399 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 3: was literally no more highway, like they had run out 400 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 3: of money, and the right, it's done. It's done here. 401 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 2: It is so interesting because there's there's I live next 402 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,360 Speaker 2: door to a highway in New Jersey called Root eighteen, 403 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 2: and that is exactly what Root eighteen really. You get 404 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:44,359 Speaker 2: into Wall Township and it's just and there's just a wall. 405 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 2: There's just a row of orange cones. Also that it 406 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 2: never becomes more permanent than orange cones. Yeah, crazy, you 407 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,480 Speaker 2: know what I mean, Like you just decided that this 408 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 2: ends here. Can't we put something up that's not just 409 00:21:55,840 --> 00:22:00,119 Speaker 2: temporary orange cones? I agree, someday you're gonna conte in 410 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,400 Speaker 2: you the highway. Obviously we're not continuing this highway. 411 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:05,440 Speaker 3: Nope, not at all. 412 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 4: Man. 413 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 3: Well, yes, Lisa bar Oh, here's the one that's from 414 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 3: Lexi bean.

It's a toughie. 420 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:36,199 Speaker 2: That's a real toughie. That's a toughie because people are 421 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,200 Speaker 2: gonna say bless you. 422 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 3: Yeah. The real thing would be controlling sneezing. 423 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,199 Speaker 2: Right, that's you would have to learn how to control 424 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 2: your sneeze. The thing is, what's funny about it is 425 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,879 Speaker 2: that there's a the sneeze is one of the things 426 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:57,399 Speaker 2: that it's there's a period of inevitability that begins with it. 427 00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 3: Oh, it's a nightmare. 428 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,720 Speaker 2: And to know like, oh no, I've got to have 429 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:05,359 Speaker 2: people next to me.

Two seconds? 432 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 3: Sometimes it's a build Like so if sometimes I'll have 433 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,120 Speaker 3: one that maybe ten seconds where you're like you're doing 434 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 3: that thing where you're like you turn your head a 435 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 3: certain way where you're like, don't do it? So, like 436 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:25,440 Speaker 3: how far away could you get from other people? One 437 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 3: thing is if you're alone, see, I think you have 438 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,679 Speaker 3: to go sneeze poop your pants here because you couldn't 439 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 3: go to rest well, because you couldn't go to restaurants ever.

This is an easy 675 00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:39,800 Speaker 2: answer for me. 676 00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:41,280 Speaker 3: This dude loves trains. 677 00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:45,880 Speaker 2: I love trains. Can meet train conductor? Does that? My 678 00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:48,520 Speaker 2: question is do I drive the train or do I 679 00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:50,879 Speaker 2: take the tickets? I'm assuming I drive the train. 680 00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:54,200 Speaker 3: Wouldn't that at a conductor? I think that's what a 681 00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:55,239 Speaker 3: train conductor does. 682 00:35:55,520 --> 00:36:00,920 Speaker 2: It is an interesting use of the word because it's Oh, 683 00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:04,640 Speaker 2: the only other conductor other than a train is an orchestra? Yes? 684 00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:06,239 Speaker 4: Is it? 685 00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:06,440 Speaker 3: That? 686 00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:10,719 Speaker 2: Is it that it's a similar relationship between you and 687 00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,319 Speaker 2: the thing that like with a train. You're not really 688 00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:17,759 Speaker 2: driving it, You're just kind of suggesting it starts, but 689 00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:18,759 Speaker 2: it stops. 690 00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:20,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, do you know what I mean? 691 00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:23,480 Speaker 2: And that's what a conductor does. It suggests when the 692 00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,479 Speaker 2: music begins and ends, and I guess keeps on beat. 693 00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:30,160 Speaker 3: Yeah is that true? Are you a conduct mean either? 694 00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:33,480 Speaker 3: And I love the symphony. I honestly love going to 695 00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:35,520 Speaker 3: the symphony. It's one of my favorite things. Even if 696 00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:38,080 Speaker 3: I fall asleep, I wake back up and I'm just overjoyed. 697 00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:40,640 Speaker 3: And not once have I ever watched the conductor and 698 00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:42,640 Speaker 3: been like, yeah, he really brought it today. 699 00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:47,680 Speaker 2: This is why the fact that they're celebrity conductors, it 700 00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:51,480 Speaker 2: is a level of musicality that I must be. I 701 00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:56,040 Speaker 2: just I simply do not understand. I really does seem 702 00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,399 Speaker 2: like it's a human metronome, do you know what I mean? 703 00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:03,360 Speaker 2: Like it's a huge like everybody has the music and 704 00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:09,400 Speaker 2: more happy the music in front of them. It's it 705 00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:12,400 Speaker 2: does seem like everybody should be able to just play 706 00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:15,239 Speaker 2: the piece without a man waving his arms at them. 707 00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:17,680 Speaker 2: But I but I'm an ignorant OAF. I don't know 708 00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:20,279 Speaker 2: any Yeah, we're ignorant oafs. And but I don't know 709 00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:20,960 Speaker 2: what they do either. 710 00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,920 Speaker 3: I remember watching that movie Whiplash, which I think is 711 00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:26,680 Speaker 3: a great movie. I really love that movie, and the 712 00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:29,920 Speaker 3: I don't know the actor's name, but that one of 713 00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,680 Speaker 3: the guys it's like a jazz conductor. And the part 714 00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:35,320 Speaker 3: I like most is he gets so pissed at the 715 00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:38,160 Speaker 3: Miles Teller character over and over and over that they 716 00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:40,480 Speaker 3: like fight and he's like, what the fuck are you doing? 717 00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:43,279 Speaker 3: And stuff during a concert where I'm like, is that 718 00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:45,640 Speaker 3: what symphony conductors are doing? Are they looking at people 719 00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:48,960 Speaker 3: giving him the side eye like you you shitty obo player, 720 00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:52,160 Speaker 3: you suck third clarinet. 721 00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:56,480 Speaker 2: So what's very funny about that movie is that the 722 00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:59,520 Speaker 2: whole like problem with his plague is that it's simply 723 00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:00,839 Speaker 2: not fast enough. 724 00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:06,279 Speaker 3: Yes or yeah JK. Simmons is the actor's. 725 00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:09,799 Speaker 2: But that definitely doesn't seem to be like the main 726 00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:15,160 Speaker 2: problem in playing the drums is that you're fast enough. 727 00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:19,319 Speaker 2: It seems like such a stupid problem to build an 728 00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:22,440 Speaker 2: entire movie around to have him his problem as a 729 00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:26,880 Speaker 2: musician is that he can't drum fast enough. That seems 730 00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:27,640 Speaker 2: stupid to me. 731 00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:32,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, man, it is. And And yet when I watched 732 00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:34,560 Speaker 3: that movie, I was so stressed out, and then I 733 00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:36,839 Speaker 3: loved the solo at the end of somebody who doesn't 734 00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:38,759 Speaker 3: play music at all. But going back to it, it's 735 00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:41,520 Speaker 3: like there's so many every time you see a symphon 736 00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:43,680 Speaker 3: in the year, like what is this guy doing up here? 737 00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:47,080 Speaker 3: What is she doing up there? Because it just seems 738 00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:49,880 Speaker 3: like these are world class musicians that could have figured 739 00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:53,279 Speaker 3: it out on their own. Are we we are so 740 00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:55,799 Speaker 3: dumb to itself? I'm sure we'll get some some give 741 00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:58,239 Speaker 3: us some. Actually is we want to know? Actually is? 742 00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:02,680 Speaker 3: Are they very important? Do they control tempo? 743 00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:07,520 Speaker 2: Obviously? Obviously I'm going train conductor. But let's talk trombone 744 00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:08,200 Speaker 2: for a second. 745 00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:13,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, really, big trombone. One great instrument. One of the 746 00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:17,360 Speaker 3: best instruments, the trumpbone. Yeah, I agree. The trombone is 747 00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:20,279 Speaker 3: a slide one, right, it's the slide one. So one 748 00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:23,319 Speaker 3: of the few instruments that can knock a hat off 749 00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:25,600 Speaker 3: somebody in two ways. You can either blow it off 750 00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:28,000 Speaker 3: or just tip it off with the slide, which is 751 00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:28,759 Speaker 3: very fun. 752 00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:33,560 Speaker 2: Yeah. Also one of the ones. I guess there's there's 753 00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:35,919 Speaker 2: a there's I guess trumpet is like this as well, 754 00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:41,000 Speaker 2: but that there's no like you do this specifically for 755 00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:44,680 Speaker 2: this note. It's like just a sliding thing where you 756 00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:47,680 Speaker 2: have to feel it that whole time. That is it 757 00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:50,880 Speaker 2: seems to me to be like, wow, this maybe is 758 00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:51,920 Speaker 2: the hardest instrument. 759 00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:56,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's right. It's all feel I guess right. 760 00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:59,000 Speaker 2: You feel in sound like you hear it, you hear 761 00:39:59,040 --> 00:39:59,640 Speaker 2: where you're at. 762 00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:03,280 Speaker 3: One time, at Damien's house in Brooklyn, our good friend, 763 00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:04,960 Speaker 3: he had a party and I was talking to a 764 00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,160 Speaker 3: woman at the party and I never met her before, 765 00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:11,279 Speaker 3: and I think I come from a symphony sometime that week, 766 00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:15,080 Speaker 3: and she said she was she played the flute. She 767 00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:18,439 Speaker 3: was a floutist, I believe it is. And she said 768 00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:21,200 Speaker 3: that most floutists are left handed and that most of 769 00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:23,960 Speaker 3: them lift their right leg and put their top of 770 00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,439 Speaker 3: the right foot on the back of their left knee 771 00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:29,880 Speaker 3: when they're playing like focused, and she showed me and 772 00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:33,000 Speaker 3: she demonstrated. And then I have brought that up so 773 00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:36,000 Speaker 3: many times and every single time people are like, absolutely 774 00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:40,839 Speaker 3: not true. That person was crazy. Really what I think 775 00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:42,640 Speaker 3: I might have even mentioned like twenty twenty one on 776 00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:44,840 Speaker 3: bananas and had people being like, no, not true. But 777 00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:48,400 Speaker 3: she's like ninety something percent of flute players or floutests 778 00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:51,319 Speaker 3: are left handed, and that a lot of them rest 779 00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:53,759 Speaker 3: their right foot on their left leg when they're like 780 00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:56,640 Speaker 3: soloing or doing something that they really need to concentrate. 781 00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,359 Speaker 3: And every single person I've ever told that to who 782 00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:03,360 Speaker 3: knows music, it's like, that is a lie. Wow, really 783 00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:06,040 Speaker 3: in the palm of her hand. 784 00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:10,560 Speaker 2: Oh, I love it. I wonder if she was fucking 785 00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:13,400 Speaker 2: with you or I think she Oh, you do think so? 786 00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,160 Speaker 3: And looking back, I mean because I was like, that's cool, 787 00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:19,040 Speaker 3: that's I like weird facts and information, so I was 788 00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:20,480 Speaker 3: like a sponge for it. 789 00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, in the future, I will have a weird news 790 00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:25,879 Speaker 2: podcast and I'm going. 791 00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:28,879 Speaker 3: To bring this up and one hundred flute players are 792 00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:31,200 Speaker 3: going to be like, that is incorrect. I'm right handed 793 00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:35,120 Speaker 3: and might keep both feet on the ground. Did you 794 00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:37,480 Speaker 3: play an instrument when you were in like third grade 795 00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:39,080 Speaker 3: or fourth grade or whenever they get you started? 796 00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:45,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, third grade it was saxophone. Yeah, and then played 797 00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:50,000 Speaker 2: guitar and then piano. I played piano for the longest time, 798 00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:55,240 Speaker 2: and I retain absolutely none of it abiding love of music. Scottie. 799 00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:57,520 Speaker 3: Hey, that's all you really need to get out of it. 800 00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:01,759 Speaker 3: How many people there are no bands anymore everythings DJs 801 00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:05,360 Speaker 3: I did, Sacks didn't like it, did Trumpet didn't like it, 802 00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:08,840 Speaker 3: went back to sports. I just didn't have it. In retrospect, 803 00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:11,200 Speaker 3: I bet I would have liked drumming. I think I 804 00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:13,279 Speaker 3: would have been a good drummer. I enjoy it as 805 00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:17,719 Speaker 3: evidenced by your love of Whiplash. I'm literally obsessed with Whiplash. 806 00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:23,640 Speaker 3: If you're an aspiring screenwriter, watch Whiplash and then watch 807 00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:27,799 Speaker 3: Black Swan, and they're the same movie, almost beat for beat. 808 00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:30,959 Speaker 3: Even though black Swan has sort of a paranormal psychological 809 00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:34,759 Speaker 3: element to it, it's they're very similar movies, like like 810 00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:36,239 Speaker 3: like so much. 811 00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:39,520 Speaker 2: Oh wow, that's very interesting. I had no idea I will. 812 00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:40,680 Speaker 2: I've never seen black Swan. 813 00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:45,279 Speaker 3: Oh dude, that movie is incredible. Oh really, Okay, that 814 00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:47,480 Speaker 3: movie is so good. I don't know if it won 815 00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:49,360 Speaker 3: Best Picture to you or came out, but that movie 816 00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:54,280 Speaker 3: is good and so weird. But it's very very it's 817 00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:58,279 Speaker 3: beat for beat, stress for stress, the same as Black Swan, 818 00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:00,719 Speaker 3: in the same way that Fastened the Furious is the 819 00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:02,319 Speaker 3: exact same movie as Point Break. 820 00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:05,279 Speaker 2: Oh that's right, same movie. 821 00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:10,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, well we did it.
