Dude? Thanks for coming to appreciate that. Thank 0:01:40.520 --> 0:01:44.880 you for supporting this record in the song and giving 0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:47.600 me an opportunity to come in. You know, I guess 0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:50.760 we can start this. We were talking yesterday. The last 0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:53.080 concert that I paid money to go to was your show. 0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:55.480 I saw you in Minneapolis and we went up and 0:01:55.480 --> 0:01:57.560 watch that show. And I can't go tonight and night. 0:01:57.600 --> 0:01:59.480 You're like three blocks down the road where you can't 0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:04.080 afford it. I can't. I spent money I'm doing. I'm 0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:07.280 at the Opera tonight, so yeah, I can't come and listen. 0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:09.120 There's always a cool reason not to come to my 0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:11.480 show because someone has a show of their own. That's 0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:13.600 the best reason not to come. So I hope everybody 0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:16.400 goes the whole thing school. You did the show in chapters, yeah, 0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:18.120 and kind of breaking it up a little bit. Same 0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:20.480 thing with your music. Talk about that for a second, 0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:23.080 because I enjoyed how you put out the songs and waves, 0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:26.839 meaning I got to enjoy four songs at a time. Yeah. Well, 0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:30.040 as a music listener myself, I was starting to feel 0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:32.720 the experience of listening to new music change, where like 0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:35.360 I wasn't listening to records anymore. I was listening to 0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:37.480 what was thrown at the top of like if you've 0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:39.440 got Spotify placement or if you've got like the Apple 0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:41.399 Store placement. I would listen to those things. I'd listen 0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:43.400 to what was in memes, I'd listen to. But I 0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:45.440 wasn't really listening to records, you know, and the records 0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:48.440 that came out by artists that I loved. What's sort 0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:50.760 of like you'd hear about it for a second and 0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:52.639 then it would kind of disappear, and I go, oh, 0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:54.040 that's a shame, is that anything? And then you hear 0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:56.120 the record, You're like, this record is great, and so 0:02:56.200 --> 0:02:59.040 all this great music sort of slipping through the cracks, 0:02:59.120 --> 0:03:02.200 you know, And so I knew how hard that not 0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:04.800 just I had worked, but how hard people around me 0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:07.120 had worked on this record. It's not necessarily anymore like 0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:09.679 this endeavor where I'm trying to get my name out there. 0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:11.960 But when you see people who are staying in the 0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:14.080 studio longer than I am, and I'm in the studio 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:16.240 for hours a day, and the fact that there are 0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:18.680 people who I work with who are there an hour 0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:20.200 and a half before me, in an hour and a 0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:23.000 half after me, you want to you want to do 0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:27.200 it in service to those guys, you know, and in 0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:29.440 terms of getting the record out and making sure people 0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:31.640 see it and making sure people understand what it is 0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:34.600 you made. And the idea became like, well, what if 0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:36.760 it came out the way like the way television is 0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:39.080 going to Netflix and everyone's sort of putting the whole 0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:42.400 season up all at once. What if records just switched 0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:45.160 places with it, and it was like, take four songs, 0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:47.600 get used to it, get your head around it. Here's 0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:49.600 another four get used to because I knew each song 0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:52.600 was really important, and twelve is a funny number to 0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:55.000 consume now, you know, Like, hey, I want you to 0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:57.040 watch twelve with these, you know what I mean when 0:03:57.040 --> 0:03:59.480 someone's like, someone's like, oh, you're gonna love that series, 0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:02.360 but you gotta get through the first six. So I 0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:06.200 wanted to make it a little more easily consumable, and 0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:08.560 I think it worked in the sense that people felt 0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:10.560 really familiar with the record by the time I got 0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:12.400 on the road. Yeah, I did for me because I 0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:14.760 was able to consume the songs and spend time with 0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:17.920 four of them instead of going, here's the entire dinner, 0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:20.400 Like I got to eat a little bit of the 0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:23.400 clisser on a little bit of chicken, and so I 0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:25.640 enjoyed the songs because of that. And I'm not even 0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:28.000 an album guy anymore, Like when someone puts out a 0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:30.120 whole album, I don't have time, Like that's not the 0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:31.800 leading songs. I mean, I'm like, you know, and then 0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:33.800 I don't listen to it three times. That's the thing 0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:35.719 I mean, if that. But that's a lot of great 0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:38.280 you know, there's a lot of great stuff. You think 0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:41.600 that like the more stuff there is, the worse it becomes, 0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:44.480 But it's actually the other way, Like everything's really cool 0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:46.040 right now. There's a lot of great music. There's a 0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:48.800 lot of great movies. There's a lot of great podcasts. 0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:51.040 By the way, everybody has a podcast I'm supposed to 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:54.159 listen to, and it's all great, But I just it's 0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:56.479 very difficult to find these slots in your life to 0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:59.560 get that in, you know, into your world, and so 0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:02.520 it for me. It helped also because I could like, 0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:04.279 this record was so big for me to get out 0:05:04.279 --> 0:05:05.960 the door that I had to break it down into 0:05:05.960 --> 0:05:07.600 four parts just to get it out. What do you 0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:09.160 mean so big to get out that it took forever 0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:11.760 to mix it too, you know, the record was in 0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:14.719 suspended animation for quite a while. That was the only 0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:16.600 challenge in this record was that the songs had been 0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:19.640 opened for two years. I mean I was listening to 0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:22.800 two files that were two years old, you know by 0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:25.880 the time this record came out. So putting it out 0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:28.040 in waves allowed me to finish it in waves too. 0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:29.960 Like I wasn't all done with it and was like, 0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:31.560 let's just put four out at a time. I was like, 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:35.159 I got four for you now, so let's hear this 0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:38.080 one here. Why I start with this one. It was 0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:42.160 the first one that was done, No, it was it 0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:44.440 was the first so I had played a little bit 0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:46.479 of cat and mouse with people for a bunch of 0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:49.800 different reasons, and some of it I didn't mean to 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:54.159 be as evasive musically as I became, and I felt 0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:55.720 like this was the song that was like, Hey, I'm 0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:59.600 not gone talked up to the post like a good 0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:03.200 radio guy, right up to the post. You ever tried 0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:05.040 to do that? You ever hop in and try to 0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:07.240 do the radio thing where you talk up to song ramps? Oh? Yeah, 0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:09.520 I do it in the car? Oh you do if 0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:11.560 a song comes on you just you see how hard 0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:13.919 I hit that? Can you do your own? Give me 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:15.760 any one of them, I'll do it, okay, any one 0:06:15.800 --> 0:06:17.359 of your songs. I'll talk right up to the post. 0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:19.040 All right, I mean here, let's go back to your 0:06:19.040 --> 0:06:22.440 first ever. Here we go, ready, three to and it's 0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:25.479 something kind of temperature time out there in Nashville today, 0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:28.039 sitting in the studio with John Mayer. Been a while 0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:30.320 since he's been here with us. We're gonna talk to 0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:31.960 him right after this. But this is a song from 0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:34.039 his very first record. It's no such a thing by 0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:43.360 John Mayor. Check it out. No, yeah, like three seconds loud. 0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:44.880 But that that was where there was going to be 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:48.160 a church John, Oh, you're get an imaging? All right? 0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:50.560 Have I tried it? Though? That was good? All right, 0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:52.560 pretty close you did. How about what if I really 0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:54.479 knew the temperature? Though? It would have been if you 0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:59.200 had nailed the temperature. Yeah, improv to the temperature. Whenever, 0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:02.680 when recording this record, do you have like Steve and 0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:04.760 Piano record with you or do you just bring them 0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:08.120 out and play? Uh? I would write as much as 0:07:08.160 --> 0:07:10.760 I could and have them come and then kind of 0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:13.760 flesh out the tunes, and then when we were done 0:07:13.760 --> 0:07:15.320 with that, I'd be like, hey, stay around for an 0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:16.720 hour or two, and then we kind of do this 0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:19.160 thing called free play, which is where you set up 0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:22.160 and you know, you take I take advantage of being 0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:24.160 able to jam with those guys any time they're around, 0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:26.520 So we set up like I set up to Mike, 0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:28.600 let's try something, and for an hour or two I 0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:30.720 try to find something in the universe with those guys 0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:32.160 in the same room. But most of the time it's 0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:35.520 uh me writing something getting good enough to where they 0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:37.840 can come in and play on it, and then they're 0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:40.240 pretty much the finishing touches on it. It seemed to 0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:43.400 me having gone to a show, and I think I've 0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:46.200 been to I mean, I'll show you my nerdiness little. 0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:49.480 I think I've been a fifteen Mayor show. Yeah, I've 0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:51.440 been around them in the shows. So I'm a pretty 0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:53.960 big fan than you are. You welcome free, though I 0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:56.320 didn't pay for many of the tickets, Like Lee, is 0:07:56.320 --> 0:07:59.240 that since what Lee two thousand three or four you've 0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:00.680 been hooking me up? Why did you pay for the 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:03.440 one in Minneapolis? Because well, I didn't pay for the tickets, 0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:05.800 but I flew up there and paid for the trip. 0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:07.280 And then he was like, I get your tickets. Don't worry. 0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:09.200 I got it better. I get better seats. All the 0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:14.080 truth comes out, I bought worse seats and then he 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:16.000 gave me a front row seats. He weren't standing outside 0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:19.280 the Coconuts record store, That's true, I wasn't. So okay, 0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:21.960 Back to Michael, what my question? You were explaining that 0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:25.000 you have you look the happiest when you're playing in 0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:33.160 the trio during this show, any trip to that, um probably, yeah, 0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:36.319 there's a freedom to that that. Nobody's really quite sure 0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:39.520 what we're gonna do. Three super capable guys who aren't 0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:41.280 who didn't talk about what they were going to do 0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:44.120 before they got on stage to do it. Uh, so 0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:46.679 anybody could start it. Sometimes I'll just stand there and 0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:50.320 all of a sudden, you're just here, Okay, Steve starting it. 0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:53.880 It's like it's it's the it's like total freedom. Also, 0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:57.440 it's like you can kind of embrace the fact that 0:08:57.440 --> 0:08:59.440 that's what that band is. You don't have to worry 0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:01.760 about whether it's going to be whether you're playing a 0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:03.920 song that people know from the radio, or whether you're 0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:06.360 playing it whether people are tired of hearing this or 0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:09.199 whether they want to hear that they're kind of resigned to. Like, 0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:11.360 you're playing three songs with this power trio that they're 0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:13.600 probably not going to really totally know unless they're like 0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:16.320 super fans. So I have fun in that freedom for 0:09:16.360 --> 0:09:18.520 three songs. It's like, look, you're gonna get this super 0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:22.160 powerful blues trio thing. I was thinking about Marty McFly 0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:24.720 saying like, you might not understand that, but your kids 0:09:24.720 --> 0:09:26.679 are gonna love it. That's how I feel like I'm 0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:29.160 back to Change the Sea Dance. There are times I 0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:30.559 look out into the crowd and I see some of 0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:34.080 the people who are not totally initiated into the blues 0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:35.920 rock thing. And I feel like I'm Marty McFly at 0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:38.320 the Enchantment Out of the Sea dance in nineteen fifty five, 0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:40.520 and they don't. They probably don't get who Marty McFly 0:09:40.640 --> 0:09:44.199 is either. At the same they would also a shame. 0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:46.520 That would be I hope, I hope it becomes a 0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:49.880 Citizen Kane reference in the next ten fifteen years, good 0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:52.240 back to the future reference. If it's not understood. I'm 0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:54.800 not sure we have a connection. John Mayor's here now. 0:09:55.679 --> 0:09:58.040 So I'm buds with the guys from the Zach Brown 0:09:58.040 --> 0:10:01.920 Band and Clay Cook and oh and I know the story. 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:05.000 But you and Clay were Berkeley together and Clay was like, 0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:07.280 you know, let's move down to Atlanta. And you and 0:10:07.320 --> 0:10:09.720 Clay kind of had a duo together from you all right, yep, 0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:11.959 that's how we started. That's how I started right out 0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:14.800 of college, was playing in an acoustic duo. And so 0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:17.640 you move down to Atlanta, and so why at Lanta 0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:20.240 of all places? He had Clay had family in Atlanta 0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:22.240 and said, I think we can do and he said 0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:23.760 there was a great music scene down there, which he 0:10:23.840 --> 0:10:27.480 was absolutely right. He did have family, and it wasn't 0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:31.120 long about either family and a music scene. So we 0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:33.040 moved down there and just started doing open mic nights 0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:37.640 and writing and you know, he that's how I got 0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:40.640 my start in music was following him down to Atlanta. 0:10:40.720 --> 0:10:43.160 We lived in Snellville, Georgia. Are you on the radio? 0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:47.600 And Snaillville, Georgia where everybody's somebody that's the that's the 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:51.120 catchphrase for that snail like the snail the bug or 0:10:51.160 --> 0:10:54.800 snell but it's pronounced snail Ville, but it's Snellville, S 0:10:54.840 --> 0:10:56.760 and E L L. So you guys moved to Atlanta 0:10:56.800 --> 0:10:58.680 and you ride a lot of things together. Yeah, we 0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:01.520 wrote of we had we had, we had written you know, 0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:05.000 five six songs at that point, we're still trying to 0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:07.880 put it all together. So you guys decided to go 0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:12.880 your own different way. Is that big decision for you too? Yes? Yeah, 0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:18.160 well no one's ever cared about this. Yeah. Uh, falling out. 0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:23.720 We had a falling out creatively, did you part of it? 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:26.320 That was part of it? Uh? The part that I 0:11:26.520 --> 0:11:33.120 can attest to. Um said, I have pretty pretty big feet, 0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:36.800 pretty strong head. I don't think anybody could have been 0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:39.240 in a duo with me at that time. That's the 0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:43.679 part that I can take responsibility for is that I 0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:50.560 probably wasn't extremely collaborative. I was, Uh yeah, I don't think. 0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:54.280 I don't think I was a strong group worker. Well 0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:56.920 were your roles and that duo, because everybody's got the 0:11:57.000 --> 0:12:00.240 role inside of a team. He was and still is 0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:05.559 hyper musical, incredible musical mind. Um and we were also 0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:08.160 by the way, completely we're really good friends now. I 0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:13.600 mean we are a pure closeness. There's these are two 0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:17.240 kids where the stars of their town, the musical stars 0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:20.080 of their town, coming together, obviously seeing something in one 0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:23.760 another that they identify with making music together, but never 0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:27.400 having really given over to someone else. I probably shouldn't 0:12:27.440 --> 0:12:32.680 have two really strong solo kind of mindsets coming together 0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:36.360 to collaborate. And where I think if you're if you're 0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:40.120 still going, well it doesn't add up. Uh put me 0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:43.240 in his life as a guest, and it gets a 0:12:43.240 --> 0:12:45.440 little strange. It's like two people sharing a birthday, you know. 0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:50.120 It's like he I was, I entered his entire social life, 0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:52.839 you know, and I think there was an identity thing 0:12:52.840 --> 0:12:55.440 of like wait, what's mine and what's yours? And again 0:12:55.559 --> 0:12:59.280 taking responsibility for it. Um, I have very big shoes. 0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:04.200 I'm not necessarily subtle, especially at that age. He didn't 0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:05.719 want to mess around with young John. You don't want 0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:07.440 to mess around nineteen year old John Mayor who just 0:13:07.440 --> 0:13:10.320 figured out that the world is bendable and he's out 0:13:10.360 --> 0:13:14.360 to just destroy it. You know. So you decided to 0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:18.520 move to California, like to make it well. I I had, 0:13:18.760 --> 0:13:22.160 interestingly enough, like most of my team came out of 0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:25.600 that time in Atlanta, you know. And then I moved 0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:28.160 to New York, and then I kind of began this 0:13:28.240 --> 0:13:30.240 sort of jumping around thing for me, Like I'm still 0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:32.679 jumping around. Yeah, because you have a house, and I 0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:35.199 where's your dog by the way, because I was watch 0:13:35.240 --> 0:13:39.240 on social media. No, that's that's a real question. Did 0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:42.480 your dog stay in Montana? My dog does not stay 0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:45.480 in Montana. This is this is what happened. I got 0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:47.280 a dog. I wanted to have a dog on the 0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:51.480 road road dog. Uh. A dear friend of mine happens 0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:57.680 to be an incredible dog trainer. She took my dog trained. 0:13:57.800 --> 0:14:02.040 My dog turned into a per fick beast. And then 0:14:02.080 --> 0:14:03.400 I was like, Okay, I'm taking my dog on the 0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:09.560 road dog hates music. Hates music. He thinks it's like thunder, 0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:13.800 like thunderstuck, So he's trembling in the dressing room first night. 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:16.120 I think Red Rocks was like the first place we 0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:17.640 were like, Okay, well I got a dog, let's do 0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:20.960 this cowering in the corner. Also, like when he's home 0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:22.560 with me, if I pick up a guitar and plug 0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:24.320 it and start playing it, he does the funniest thing 0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:26.200 that he doesn't want to offend me, but he like 0:14:26.400 --> 0:14:29.600 slowly SLINKs his two paws front paws off the couch 0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:32.680 and just waddles out of the room because I'm playing music. 0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:35.400 So it wasn't gonna work. But it turned out that 0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:39.760 my dog trainer, she loved him so much, and she said, well, 0:14:39.800 --> 0:14:42.240 he's a part of our family too, so I'll be 0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:45.560 the mommy. And I thought that's awesome. So my dog 0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:49.360 lives a better life than I do. He lives in Brentwood, California, 0:14:49.480 --> 0:14:52.600 and I pick him up. It's like doggy daycare, but 0:14:52.680 --> 0:14:56.280 it's months long. Sounds more like custody. It's joint customer. 0:14:57.080 --> 0:14:59.880 Yes so, but but I've heard of people doing that. 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:02.080 I know singers who do that. You know they try 0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:04.960 to get a dog, and it's a very noble idea 0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:06.920 to get a dog. Okay, I'm growing up. I want 0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:09.120 to get I wanna get something to take care of 0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:11.360 and responsibility for. And then you realize that it would 0:15:11.400 --> 0:15:14.320 be you taking the elevator down to the street level 0:15:14.320 --> 0:15:17.360 in Denver, Colorado at seven in the morning to make 0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:20.480 it go potty. So it's it's a wonderful thought. I 0:15:21.360 --> 0:15:24.560 was like, where's the dog. Yeah, the dog. I was interesting. 0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:26.120 I pick up the dog on my way out to 0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:29.080 Montana and we get to know each other again on 0:15:29.120 --> 0:15:32.640 the plane and then and we're then we're there and 0:15:32.640 --> 0:15:36.120 he's got fifteen acres of pure dog park. You don't 0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:39.400 have to take him out. He's a black lab, so 0:15:39.400 --> 0:15:42.520 he doesn't want to run too far. There are bears, Yeah, 0:15:42.560 --> 0:15:46.560 there are Yeah, I've seen the snapchats. There was a 0:15:46.560 --> 0:15:49.400 bear in my yard a couple of summers ago. I'm 0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:53.040 scared of bears, man. I'll walk outside across the driveway 0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:55.800 in the dark and just totally scared of bears. I 0:15:56.120 --> 0:15:57.400 know a couple of people in my life were like, 0:15:57.440 --> 0:15:59.440 walk out in the dark and they're totally scared of bears. 0:15:59.720 --> 0:16:03.000 Bears are scary. I mean they sell bear pepper spray 0:16:03.240 --> 0:16:05.440 at the supermarket, and if you go hiking, you're supposed 0:16:05.480 --> 0:16:07.920 to bring bear pepper spray. I have a feeling in 0:16:07.960 --> 0:16:10.840 your demographic there's plenty of people who have with them 0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:12.800 as they listen to this bear pepper spray. Do you 0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:14.600 know what you're supposed to do if you encounter a bear? 0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:19.960 Play dead or run or scream? I think it's different 0:16:19.960 --> 0:16:23.720 for each bear. It actually is. I think it's deffer 0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:27.200 bridged person too. It's different for each bear. Uh, well, 0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:29.000 you need to be prepared. You're supposed to be prepared. 0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:31.520 You're supposed to have bear pepper spray. I think if 0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:33.600 you see bear poop, you're supposed to sort of get 0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:36.480 out of there if you see you know, there's things 0:16:36.480 --> 0:16:38.560 that ever, but I've heard I've heard things like like 0:16:38.600 --> 0:16:41.080 a bear will mall you but not kill you, and 0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:44.280 then like you think it's left, but it's just hiding 0:16:44.440 --> 0:16:48.680 under some leaves, just watching you die or just watching 0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:50.760 you be injured. There, Like these bears are serious, they're 0:16:50.760 --> 0:16:53.120 not messing around. This is true that the bear will 0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:57.080 maim you and then sort of hide and watch you. 0:16:57.080 --> 0:16:58.880 You just said you heard, and now you're saying it's true. 0:16:58.920 --> 0:17:01.880 You've converted in like two sentences this this is fact 0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:04.000 because I have I have people who I trust in 0:17:04.080 --> 0:17:06.159 me around my life, and they've told you that the 0:17:06.240 --> 0:17:09.320 bear will attack you and then watch you. Yeah, a 0:17:09.359 --> 0:17:13.000 bear will attack you. I think a grizzly will attack you, 0:17:14.320 --> 0:17:17.199 bring you to the edge of death, and then watch 0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:20.200 you and if you get up, then it will kill 0:17:20.240 --> 0:17:22.320 you and you eat that. So it's like Game of Thrones. 0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:26.639 And yes, it's the revenue. Yes in Montana. Uh, do 0:17:26.640 --> 0:17:29.000 you have a Facebook page or something? People can verify this. 0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:32.640 They don't worry, they will every bit of it. I 0:17:32.640 --> 0:17:35.840 feel really good about this information.
