Speaker 1: told me to stop doing it too, but I continue.

4
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: Episode seventeen saw us on the side. What's up. I'm

00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: Gandhi and I'm here with my two favorite people, Diamond

00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 2: Hi. Y'all.

8
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:21,760
Speaker 3: Hi, I'm so happy that she said my name first.

9
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 2: Hi.

10
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 4: I'm here too.

11
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: You know a lot of people said that their favorite

12
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 1: episode of the show was when it was just three

13
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: of us talking.

14
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 4: Yes, I'm saucy episode.

15
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 3: Okay, can you not do that in my own microphone?

16
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 1: You don't on purpose. We'll get to a microphone soon, buddy,

17
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: don't worry.

18
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,480
Speaker 4: Wow, I'm just your jester in this show.

19
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 1: You're not funny. Jesters are funny. I just try to

20
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:49,239
Speaker 1: try again. Good Anyway, we're all laughing and having a

21
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: good time. But I am kind of excited about this

22
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: interview today because it's Drake Bell, who we know from

23
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: Drake and Josh but has recently made headlines with all

24
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: kinds of other stuff. If you didn't see the documentary

25
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: of Quiet on Set, he was definitely featured prominently in

26
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: that He's got some new music on the way. I

27
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 1: have a ton of things to talk to him about.

28
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 1: I say, we just get right to it. I'm here

29
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: with Drake Bell and so much to talk about. Where

30
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: do we even begin? Would you like to start with

31
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: new music, new ventures?

32
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 2: Yeah? Sure. I just released a new single called I

33
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 2: kind of Relate.

34
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: I listened to it. I like it, but I really

35
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 1: like it.

36
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:32,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, the music video. We just hit three

37
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 2: million on the music video. It's doing really well, I guess,

38
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 2: one of the most introspective, kind of autobiographical tunes that

39
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 2: ever in a long time. And then I just released

40
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 2: a new song on the tenth called Hollywoodn't and we're

41
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 2: having fun with that one. It's doing pretty good.

42
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: So these songs are very different because I'd listened to

43
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: both of them. Yes, So with I kind of Relate,

44
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: it's almost whimsical. The sound of it is whimsical, and

45
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: then you listen to the words and it's so heavy. Yeah,

46
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: and then Hollywoodn't well heavy as well. Obviously you're drawing

47
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: from things going on in your own life at the

48
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:04,639
Speaker 1: moment or in the past.

49
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, these these two songs, there's been a lot that

50
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 2: has come out recently about my history and my past

51
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 2: and what I've been through in life, and these songs

52
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 2: definitely relate to those those events. It's cool that you

53
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 2: mentioned that, because I love writing songs that sound, you know, happy,

54
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 2: but then the lyrical content takes you somewhere else, into

55
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 2: a dark place, fun juxtaposition. It kind of is a

56
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 2: throwback to the days that I was going through. What

57
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 2: I was going through at this time working on Drake

58
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 2: and Josh, and that era of music was sort of

59
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 2: what was happening at the time, and a lot of

60
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 2: different styles and sounds and I kind of took all

61
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 2: of them and threw them all into the pot, and

62
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 2: then the whole album takes you through this this sort

63
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 2: of narrative journey. I kind of compared to it. It's

64
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 2: like my wide album because there's so many, so many songs,

65
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 2: and I mean, I guess if it was, you know,

66
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 2: if this was the seventies, would be a double album.

67
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: How do you feel listening back to it from where

68
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: you drew because I'm sure that there are some people

69
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: listening who don't know specifically what you're talking about. There

70
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: was a documentary that came out. It talked about some

71
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: things that you've been through in your past, which were

72
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: dark and very upsetting, I'm sure for you to relive.

73
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: And now you have this album where you're pulling from

74
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: those things and you're performing and you're listening to it

75
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: all the time. What is that like?

76
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 2: It's it's interesting, you know. I often say I was

77
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 2: thinking about this the other day. You know, a lot

78
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 2: of people journal and get their thoughts out through journaling

79
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 2: or writing in a diary, and for me, that's songwriting.

80
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 2: I get it through my songs, and that's how I

81
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 2: get you know, if I'm feeling upset, or I'm feeling

82
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 2: happy about something, or there's something that's I've been dealing

83
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 2: with emotionally, I get it out through song. But then

84
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 2: I was sinking the other day how many people write

85
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 2: in their journal and then go and perform it every night?

86
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: Yes, Like I couldn't rut. I don't understand how people

87
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: like that.

88
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm using this as like it's like a cathartic

89
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 2: therapeutic avenue to get all of this this junk out

90
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 2: that's inside of me. And okay, cool, it's out. It's out.

91
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 2: It's I don't have to sit there and you know,

92
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 2: work through the turmoil in my mind. And then I'm

93
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 2: like on my way on to stage and I'm like,

94
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 2: I'm about to co read my diary for like fifty

95
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 2: thousand people, and it's some concert I'm playing. I'm like what,

96
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 2: And you like, really that smart?

97
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 1: It is? Well, I'm sure that it's got to be

98
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: a little bit therapeutic to you, but it's also got

99
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 1: to be weird to look out in the crowd and

100
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: see people just singing along. Journal that was about some dark,

101
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 1: heavy sound, dark stuff, Like what a weird position to

102
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: be in, But you're saying it's good.

103
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know it is. It's that's how I do it.

104
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 2: It's been really interesting because that's how I've always written songs.

105
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 2: And my first album I put out Telegraph, I wrote

106
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 2: I started writing when I was fourteen, released it when

107
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 2: I was about fifteen, and I was in the thick

108
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 2: of all of that that junk, you know, all of

109
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 2: that abuse and trauma and stuff that was going on,

110
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 2: and it was all coming out through my lyrics. And

111
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 2: so fans are now going back to that album and

112
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 2: looking at the lyrics and going, oh my gosh, like, yeah,

113
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 2: it's taking on a whole new life. We're seeing it

114
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 2: through a completely different lens. And he's been screaming from

115
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 2: the mountaintop since day one, you know, and we just

116
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 2: didn't you know, we were unaware of what he was

117
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 2: going through personally, and and so we didn't really you know,

118
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 2: these these lyrics are a lot heavier and talking about

119
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 2: things that are whoa you know. So that's that's. Uh,

120
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 2: I've seen a lot of that, which is which is

121
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 2: pretty cool. That's that's how I write. And when I

122
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 2: was starting to write this new album, but I didn't

123
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 2: approach it with the thought of making an album. I

124
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 2: was just you know, I was in the eye of

125
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 2: the storm. This documentary was going to come out. I

126
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 2: the world was going to know my story. And I

127
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 2: just started sitting down at the piano and using it

128
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 2: to get to get everything out, you know.

129
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 1: Twenty six songs later, yeah.

130
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 2: Twenty six songs later, I turned into an album. And

131
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 2: and then I just started getting super creative and I

132
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 2: was like, well, you know, this is some heavy material.

133
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 2: There's got to be some more, you know, it can't

134
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 2: just be like, Okay, here's my next album. And there's

135
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 2: a there's such a linear story, there's there's a lot

136
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 2: of flight references, you know, when you're feeling trapped or

137
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 2: you're going through something and you're like, man, I just

138
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 2: want to get away. I just want to escape. I

139
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 2: just want to go somewhere. You know, you always say

140
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 2: I just want to go to like an island and

141
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 2: get away from everybody and get away from everything. And

142
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 2: I started to construct this sort of narrative and the

143
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 2: songs are very linear of starting with like I want

144
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 2: to get away, I want to get out, I want

145
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 2: to do this, and then tragedy happening in my life.

146
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 2: It's it's really autobiographical, and then heartbreak and then that

147
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 2: getting fixed and triumphant redemption and this and that. So

148
00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 2: it's like a whole. It's like I putting together a movie,

149
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 2: you know, through sound. It's cool.

150
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: So have you gotten a chance to escape and get away?

151
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 1: Because it seems like the last year, or at least the

152
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: last few months, all eyes are on you, and everybody's

153
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: probably reaching out to you and saying, hey, talk about this,

154
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: Let's talk about this again and again and again. Did

155
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: you get to get away? Do you have some peace

156
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: at all or has it just been a whirlwind of crazy?

157
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 2: Well, it has been quite the whirlwind. But my escape

158
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 2: is in the studio. And that's how it was when

159
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 2: I was working, for example, Drake and Josh, And even

160
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 2: though I was in the thick of such heavy and

161
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 2: emotional things going on in my life, it's you know,

162
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 2: when I'm on stage and when the lights go up

163
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 2: and I get to start, you know, I get to

164
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 2: work that that that's an escape for me. And it's

165
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 2: sort of a metaphorical escape. That's sort of the narrative

166
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 2: of the record too, is you know, you want to

167
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 2: just escape and get away, but there's a lot of

168
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 2: work on the inside and that you have to do

169
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 2: first before you know. You can relax when you get

170
00:07:58,440 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 2: to your destination.

171
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: I mean, you can run, but it will catch you.

172
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: You can go on vacation, when you come home, it's

173
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: gonna be there. You can take a nap, when you

174
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: wake up, it's still going to be there. You really

175
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: have to dive in and write your journal entries and

176
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: then apparently turn it into a double.

177
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 2: Discaltel exactly exactly.

178
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: And go perform all over the place. When you are

179
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: performing now, right, you have some shows coming up, is

180
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: it in California?

181
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have a couple shows in California, I just

182
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 2: played in Tabasco and in Mexico, which were amazing shows.

183
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 2: This has been the most fun show I've put together,

184
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 2: I think.

185
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: Ever, when did you start working on this album three

186
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: years ago? Three years ago?

187
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been a long time.

188
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: Okay. That explains the amount of songs, yeah, that you

189
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 1: have because a few months I.

190
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 2: Keep I just keep writing, and it just keeps growing

191
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 2: and growing and growing and growing, and I'm like, we

192
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 2: gotta figure out, we got it. We gotta stop sometime.

193
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 2: You know. It's funny because the name of the album

194
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 2: is called NonStop Flight, but then as the album continued,

195
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 2: I was adding songs, adding songs, adding songs. I'm laughing

196
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 2: with my friends, like maybe it should just be called

197
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 2: NonStop album. His album's like never gonna be finished.

198
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: You know, do you find it easier to write when

199
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,199
Speaker 1: you're happy or when you're sad?

200
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 2: Honestly, I think it's easier to write when you're sad.

201
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 2: I think it's uh, I don't know, Uh, there's stronger emotion.

202
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 2: I think when and I don't know if necessarily just sad, uh,

203
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 2: but when when there's just something more impactful going on

204
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 2: in your life. It's I think it's easier to find

205
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 2: the words to say. And also, when you're happy and

206
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 2: you're stoked, you're like, I want to know how out

207
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 2: with my friends? Like I want to go, like I

208
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 2: want to I'm feeling good, Like let's go out to lunch,

209
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 2: you know, And when you're upset, you're like, oh, I'm

210
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 2: in my house, I'm bummed. Okay, where's the piano, where's

211
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 2: my guitar?

212
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: You know. So it's almost like a Yelp review. People

213
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: always when they're pissed off, they're gonna go leave those

214
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: Yelp reviews. But when they're happy, very rarely do they

215
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 1: go and talk about how happy they are, which is

216
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: kind of sad but also makes total sense when it

217
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: comes to the songwriting process.

218
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 2: Comments on social media are the same way. You know,

219
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 2: if you if you're reading through social media, you're like, oh, man,

220
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 2: there's these bad comment who's gonna write, Who's gonna When

221
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 2: they're happy, they're just scrolling right, you know, so they're

222
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 2: not looking for something to attack or.

223
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: But shout out to the people who do leave nice

224
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: comments when they are happy. We love you. There are

225
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: less of you than the others. But how do you

226
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 1: please please leave more. Did you hear him? How do

227
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: you navigate that because you can't contry. I mean, you

228
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: could be the person that shots off all your comments.

229
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: But it is nice to get some feedback every now

230
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:21,559
Speaker 1: and then from your fans and from the people who

231
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: follow you. How has that been recently with you?

232
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 2: It's been really great. I mean, the fan response to

233
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 2: my story coming out has been incredible. It's been a

234
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 2: good Uh, it's been uplifting good.

235
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's good because I can only imagine how hard

236
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: all of that has been before and knowing what was coming,

237
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: because you obviously sat down and did this documentary ahead

238
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: of time. How long did you know before it was

239
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 1: coming out that it was like? How long was that

240
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 1: in the works?

241
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 2: About a year?

242
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: A year? Yeah, we had Mark Summerson not too long ago.

243
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and that click did you?

244
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, it went viral because he said he was ambushed

245
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 1: and he did not know what was going on. What

246
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 1: did you think of the final product of Quiet on set?

247
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 2: Well, I'll say this, okaylad, I'm content with the way

248
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 2: that my story was able to be revealed to the world.

249
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 2: As far as the rest of the documentary goes.

250
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 1: Oh, I know, I've seen all this stuff about it.

251
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: It seems like there are some gray area with other people.

252
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: When I watched it, my first thought when it came

253
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: to you was I want to give him a hug.

254
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 1: And it makes me actually want to tear up a

255
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: little bit right now that you were going through all

256
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:33,839
Speaker 1: of that and putting on a happy face for everybody,

257
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 1: and now you are using all of it to channel

258
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: into this wonderful music. And I am impressed that you

259
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 1: can do that. And I don't know how a lot

260
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: of people can get through those things and not say

261
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: fuck Hollywood in general. I'm out. I don't want to

262
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 1: do entertainment anymore.

263
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 2: You kept doing it because I love it.

264
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: So no thought has ever entered your mind. I'm leaving

265
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: this behind.

266
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 2: I can't. It's everything inside of me. And ever since

267
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 2: I was a little boy, all I wanted to do

268
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 2: was entertained. When I was five years old, six years old,

269
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 2: I you know, even though it's a very young age,

270
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 2: I didn't know what it was. I just knew that

271
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 2: I wanted to make people laugh, and that is my essence.

272
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 2: That's my soul, like I I that's my oxygen. And also,

273
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 2: I mean, fuck them, what am I gonna I'm gonna

274
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 2: I'm gonna quit. I'm gonna quit doing what I love

275
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 2: and what i've you know, I believe was born to do,

276
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:28,559
Speaker 2: and so so that these monsters can win.

277
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: I love that attitude because it's so easy to get

278
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 1: discouraged and to let somebody doing something bad or even

279
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,079
Speaker 1: saying things that are terrible get to you, get inside

280
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: you and say, I don't want to do this anymore,

281
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,559
Speaker 1: like kind of kill your buzz, kill your spirit and

282
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: your light. And you didn't, and you're back better than ever.

283
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 2: Man, when I was on that stage and I you know,

284
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 2: you hear, you hear the hammers hitting building, the sets,

285
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,239
Speaker 2: you smell that, you smell the wood being cut. You

286
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 2: you're walking over the cables, you're seeing the cameras, the lights,

287
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:58,079
Speaker 2: and that's home. That's that's where I felt safe. That's

288
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 2: where I felt happy, That's where I felt creative, that's

289
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 2: where I felt alive. I'll be damned if I'm gonna

290
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 2: allow anybody to take that away from me.

291
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: That's exactly what I want to hear. I don't want

292
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: to feel. I don't want to hear from you that

293
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: you feel like this is something you have to do,

294
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 1: or that you're trapped in doing It's good to know

295
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: that you want to do it and you're having a

296
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 1: good time doing it and at the same time as

297
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: therapeutic and helping you get through all the bullshit.

298
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I've I've lost houses, but I'm not

299
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 2: gonna I'm not gonna lose my metaphorical home.

300
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 1: You know, you're gonna stick with it. Yeah, Would you

301
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: let your kids get into it?

302
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 2: That's a tough question because there's nothing else I wanted

303
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 2: to do. Had somebody, you know, my parents or somebody

304
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 2: had said no, you can't do that because there's some

305
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 2: horror stories. Well, there's horror stories and everything. I mean yeah, radio, yeah, radio, television, film, school, sports,

306
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 2: corporate life. I mean there's there's You're find you find

307
00:13:55,840 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 2: bad actors everywhere, mostly in Hollywood, but but but you know,

308
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 2: there's there's there's people, there's there's bad eggs in every basket.

309
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 2: So to take that dream away from a child, I

310
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 2: couldn't imagine doing that. But having my experience and knowing

311
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 2: what I know, I wouldn't not let them.

312
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 1: You'd also be coming from a place of experience where

313
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 1: you're like a hawk, probably watching and able to see

314
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: things that your parents might not have been able to

315
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 1: see because they were new to it, whereas you've that's

316
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: what I hear.

317
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 2: About, you know, And that's a good that's a good

318
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 2: segue into this is where a lot of people on

319
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 2: social media, a lot of people in the media are well,

320
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 2: where were the parents?

321
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 5: What?

322
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 2: Why? How could the parents? And it's the parent's fault

323
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 2: and it's this fault. No, it's not. It's the person

324
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 2: who who perpetrated what happened. It's their fault. You're talking

325
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 2: about parents who have never been on a movie set.

326
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 2: They don't know how to conduct themselves. They don't know what, how,

327
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 2: how far they can go with what they and so

328
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 2: they're learning too. It's just as easy to take advantage

329
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 2: of them because they're just as vulnerable. So to say, oh,

330
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 2: it was the parents, Well, it's like you're actively learning

331
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 2: the boundaries and what I can where I can speak up,

332
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 2: and what I can say, or is my son gonna

333
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 2: get fired? Are they gonna get picked up for the

334
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 2: next season? You're like, why is that important? You're like,

335
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 2: it doesn't have to and it also doesn't have to

336
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 2: be something as extreme as what I went through. It

337
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 2: could be something like, you know what, my son's exhausted, Like,

338
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 2: do we have to throw the pie in his face

339
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 2: another six times? And that's something totally apparent has the

340
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 2: right to go up and say. But as you're in

341
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 2: the process of learning, you're like, can I go up

342
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 2: and tell the director or the producer that my my

343
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 2: son's had enough? Can we move on? So that's why

344
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 2: I think it's important to have changes in the industry

345
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 2: where you have something like somebody like a social worker

346
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 2: or somebody who has experience with mental health and childcare,

347
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 2: and you know, they're they're appointed by not the production

348
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 2: or not the studio, so they have no ties, they

349
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 2: have no concern whether or not they're going to get

350
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 2: a job by this studio the next time. Having somebody

351
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 2: that is experienced enough to recognize, hey, you know, this

352
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 2: child's laughing and saying, oh no, it's okay. I'll slip

353
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 2: and fall one more time. But they can recognize, hey,

354
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 2: you know what, let me give us, give us ten minutes.

355
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 2: I need to speak with this child and their parent

356
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 2: and take them into another room. And I want to

357
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 2: sit down with the child and make sure that he's okay.

358
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 2: And this is what's going on. Because I see him

359
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 2: feeling a little uncomfortable, but he's in a position where

360
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 2: he doesn't feel that he can express that. So we're

361
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 2: going to take the We're going to take a moment

362
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 2: and stop everything. And they have the power to do that.

363
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 2: So I think that, you know, small changes like that

364
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 2: can have a profound effect on that.

365
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: Actually seems like a really huge change and something that

366
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: is much more possible now that this documentary did come out. Yeah,

367
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: and that there are all these people saying, hey, had

368
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 1: we had X, Y and Z on the set, this

369
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: stuff wouldn't have happened. And now as dark as what

370
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 1: you went through was, there is something that you can

371
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 1: do for other people in the future to shine a

372
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 1: light and say this is how we make it not happen.

373
00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, And maybe there's maybe an aspect of that is,

374
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 2: you know, an hour set aside, maybe two hours set

375
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 2: aside two days a week, one day a week, whatever,

376
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 2: just for mental health and have that set aside for

377
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 2: the kids so that when they do get in a situation,

378
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 2: they feel comfortable enough to go to that person and say, hey,

379
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 2: this doesn't feel do I really have to do this?

380
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 2: I just don't feel comfortable. I don't feel comfortable wearing this,

381
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 2: or I don't feel comfortable this joke makes me feel uncomfortable,

382
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 2: or I just don't know if this is right, and

383
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 2: then they can handle the situation.

384
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 1: There's more checks and balances in general would be great,

385
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 1: which if we're being real, not just for kids on sets,

386
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 1: but it goes on. It's rampant, one hundred with adults

387
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 1: on set. With entertainment in general. Entertainment is a beautiful, shiny,

388
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 1: amazing thing. And it's also really really dark and has

389
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: sharp edges. And if you don't want yourself, whichever branch

390
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:48,880
Speaker 1: of entertainment you're in, you can get got.

391
00:17:49,160 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 2: Definitely, definitely. And you know, after reading Jeanette's book and

392
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:05,199
Speaker 2: I Janet mccurty, Janet mccurty's book, Yeah, there were so

393
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,360
Speaker 2: many parallels in our story. It was incredible. I mean

394
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 2: not just in growing up in Hollywood, but I mean

395
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 2: we grew up in the same city, Garden Grove. When

396
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 2: she was going to Disneyland all the time, I was

397
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 2: going to do that all the time. She's naming street

398
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:17,640
Speaker 2: names in her book, and I'm like, oh my gosh,

399
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:19,400
Speaker 2: I live like four streets away from there. That's where

400
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 2: I grew up. It's just it was really interesting reading.

401
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 2: But I think something that was illuminating in her book

402
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 2: and really stuck out to me is, you know they

403
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 2: put you through media training. For example, when you book

404
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 2: a TV show, they're like, Okay, you've never done and

405
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 2: now you're gonna be doing interviews. You mean to this,

406
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 2: We're gonna do media training. But I think there should

407
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 2: also be a session of listen, everyone's gonna be watching

408
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 2: every movie you make. This is what it's gonna feel like.

409
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 2: Here's examples of what other actors have gone through. Here's

410
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 2: their bad press. Here's what people have said about this person.

411
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 2: Here's what this person said about this person's kids, how

412
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 2: they are as a mother, how they are in their relationships,

413
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 2: talking about their boyfriends and girlfriends, talking about their marriages,

414
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,479
Speaker 2: talking about their divorces, all the dirt. Is this something

415
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 2: that you feel like you can hand? And definitely that

416
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 2: should be done with somebody that like a a therapist

417
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,239
Speaker 2: or somebody in the room with the kid. You know,

418
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 2: prepare them. They're gonna talk about your weight, They're gonna

419
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 2: talk about the outfit that you wore as you went

420
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,439
Speaker 2: to go get coffee that day. They're gonna talk about

421
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 2: the relationship that you're in, be prepared for. You're gonna

422
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 2: have to have a thick skin, and is that something

423
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 2: that you're prepared for or that you want to do.

424
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 1: And it's changed even since the time that you were

425
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: a child star acting and all this stuff because social

426
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:39,439
Speaker 1: media has exploded and is monstrous also wonderful at the

427
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 1: same time, everywhere you go, people are taking a picture

428
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 1: of you, whether you're looking or not. Eating a piece

429
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:44,439
Speaker 1: of pizza.

430
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 2: It's unbelievable.

431
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: It's creepy. And you're still doing dealing with that, I

432
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 1: assume right now.

433
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's it's unbelievable. I mean, especially in Latin

434
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 2: America where my last single just went number one. I'm

435
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 2: playing huge concerts. I go and get tacos and it's

436
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:01,919
Speaker 2: all on the front page of Reform a newspaper the

437
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 2: next morning.

438
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 1: And do you ever wear to skies and just go

439
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 1: out and get your tacos?

440
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 2: You know, it's unbelievable. I mean even during COVID, I

441
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 2: would have my COVID mask, I'd have a hoodie on,

442
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 2: I'd have my sweatshurant and people would be like, Drake,

443
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:14,400
Speaker 2: can I get a.

444
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: Picture with you, you ever act like it's not you,

445
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 1: like I don't know what you're talking about. I would

446
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 1: do that.

447
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 2: No, you know, you know, I'm a huge fan. When

448
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 2: I'm into something, I become an absolute expert obsess over

449
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:28,719
Speaker 2: this fan. Obsessed maybe that's the wrong word to use

450
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:29,120
Speaker 2: in this kind.

451
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:29,880
Speaker 1: Might be the right word.

452
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 2: Well, in the in the age of Baby Reindeer, maybe obsessed.

453
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 2: Maybe we'll keep the obsessed a little. And with things

454
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 2: that I've gone through, I'm fanatical. And I've met so

455
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 2: many people in my life who shaped me musically. And

456
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 2: I've had so many different situations that are wonderful and

457
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 2: incredible and inspiring. And I've had other situations that have

458
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 2: broken my my heart as a fan. You know, I've

459
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 2: had you know, I go up and I ask someone

460
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 2: for a picture, and you know, I get the rude no,

461
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 2: like why you bother you know, get away from me, kid,

462
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:11,399
Speaker 2: you bother me, you know kind of thing. And then

463
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 2: I get other people who are just so genuine and

464
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,639
Speaker 2: kind and my time is your time, like thank you,

465
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 2: so thank you so much for being a fan. Thank

466
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 2: you so much, No, thank you, you know, And this

467
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 2: is something I've learned and I've taken away and why

468
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 2: I'll never say no it's not me, or no you

469
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 2: can't have a picture, or no I won't talk to

470
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 2: you for and especially since the documentary has come out

471
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 2: of there's been a lot of interactions that turn into

472
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 2: thirty minute conversations on the street. But the biggest stars

473
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 2: that I've ever worked with are always the most humble,

474
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:45,199
Speaker 2: most kind, most giving with their time, the sweetest, you know.

475
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:50,640
Speaker 2: And then it's these other actors that you're like, really, yep,

476
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 2: really you're gonna That's how.

477
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 1: We say that all the time. There's this like happy

478
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 1: medium because when people are just starting out there super

479
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,479
Speaker 1: friendly and they're really nice and they're eager and they

480
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 1: want to talk to everybody and meet everybody. Then there's

481
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 1: this weird middle period yep, where a lot of people

482
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 1: become assholes. And then they've passed that and now they're

483
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 1: back up way on top and they're really nice and

484
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,199
Speaker 1: friendly again, and we can't figure out what happens and

485
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 1: that little in between where everyone gets crazy. But it's like,

486
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: I think, almost guaranteed, you know what, I.

487
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 2: Think now that you mentioned that, I think they're in

488
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 2: that middle ground you still in your mind, and even

489
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 2: though the perception might not be that way to the public,

490
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 2: but in your mind, you're still in the fight. You're

491
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 2: still in that battle to get to that third section.

492
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:32,880
Speaker 1: You're competing with everybody.

493
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 2: You're competing and when you're on that third tier, you've

494
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,879
Speaker 2: figured out, this is my family, this is my group,

495
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 2: These are the people I keep close to me. These

496
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:45,199
Speaker 2: you can recognize the people you need to show away.

497
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 2: You can recognize the people clinging on to you, taking

498
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 2: from you, pulling from you. And I think when you're

499
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 2: in that second tier, it's not only by your team

500
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 2: who wants you to get to that next phase where

501
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:57,880
Speaker 2: you're you know, the artist might be saying, Wow, I'm

502
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 2: really excited about this. This song went. Now it went

503
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 2: really great. They're like, yeah, but it didn't even reach

504
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:04,639
Speaker 2: top ten. You got to do this, you gotta do this,

505
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 2: you gotta do this. And so now they're like being

506
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 2: pulled at in every direction, and they want to go

507
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 2: a direction as an artist, and they feel that they've

508
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 2: reached a point where they should have a say in that,

509
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 2: but they have this whole team that's telling them not

510
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 2: to and so they're that and then they have all

511
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 2: of the people who are just hanging on for the ride,

512
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 2: the clingers that don't have any of their best interests

513
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 2: at heart, and then that just drains you. And so

514
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 2: I was going to say, pulling from you. So it's

515
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:34,640
Speaker 2: soul sucking and you haven't had the experience to get

516
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 2: to the point where you have the strength and the

517
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 2: courage to be like, Okay, you're gone.

518
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: Do you feel like you're at the point where you're

519
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 1: comfortable enough to delete the contact and kick people out

520
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:43,639
Speaker 1: of your circle.

521
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 2: If you need to, Yeah, I mean my circle. You

522
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 2: start realizing the smaller the group around you gets, the

523
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 2: more happy, the more successful, the more that content that

524
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:58,680
Speaker 2: you're going to be, the more opportunity you're going to

525
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:02,880
Speaker 2: have to thrive. Definitely, So my group continues to be

526
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 2: smaller and small.

527
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: Keep wing it out. So you were talking about going

528
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 1: down some rabbit holes when you're into something, you're like,

529
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,640
Speaker 1: all in, what is this stuff recently that you've been into?

530
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: Because when you talked about Baby Reindeer, I went down

531
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: a rabbit hole on that one. I did all the stuff.

532
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 2: So Baby Reindeer was Wow. I had a lot of

533
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,640
Speaker 2: friends and a lot of people on social media reach

534
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,919
Speaker 2: out to me and say do not watch Baby Reindeer. Wow,

535
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 2: do not watch Baby.

536
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 1: Rain, which probably only made you want to watch it.

537
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 2: Because well, they were too late. Oh, I had already

538
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 2: watched it, and they're like, it deals with some things

539
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 2: that I don't it's going to be triggering for you

540
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 2: that I don't. I don't want you to have to relive,

541
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 2: you know, with what's you're going through right now and

542
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 2: now knowing your story, they they say, dude, don't watch

543
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 2: the show. Don't watch the show. And I'm like, too late, guys,

544
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 2: And my jaw was on the floor.

545
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,120
Speaker 1: And yeah, and I uh yeah.

546
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,199
Speaker 2: There were some episodes that were you know, you go

547
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 2: into this thinking it's about one thing, and then all

548
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:58,640
Speaker 2: of a sudden, it takes such a dramatic turn.

549
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 1: It's such a dramatic turn. The one episode that I

550
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: know both of us are talking about, I when I

551
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 1: was done watching that episode, thought, well, that case I

552
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:07,199
Speaker 1: was not prepared for that.

553
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 2: Well that was that was my life with Brian Peck,

554
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 2: except I wasn't a thirty two year old aspiring writer.

555
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 2: I was a fourteen year old child.

556
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:18,120
Speaker 1: Jesus, I feel like you have a wild tell all

557
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 1: book buried inside you somewhere and I hope that that

558
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 1: is coming at some point.

559
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean if you enjoyed or were moved

560
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 2: by a baby reindeer, just wait for my book.

561
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 1: Really yeah, are you writing it? Are you actively writing it?

562
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 2: I'm working on it right now. Yeah, you know, it's

563
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:37,639
Speaker 2: a it's a it's it's definitely a process because as

564
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 2: my life continues, there's more, you know, to be added,

565
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 2: there's more to be put in, and there's a lot

566
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:47,160
Speaker 2: of really it's it's difficult because when you're when you're

567
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 2: doing interviews. You know, the way that I described my

568
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 2: abuse that I endured and experienced and what happened to me,

569
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,199
Speaker 2: I it's hard to do with a camera on you.

570
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 2: Yeahs and and and and also there's a lot of

571
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 2: things you can't say, I mean YouTube you you have

572
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 2: to say essayed or s O or ab or or those.

573
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 1: And those are sexually assaulted abuse.

574
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 2: You can't say sex. You know, you can't say I

575
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,640
Speaker 2: can't say Brian is a registered sex offender of s oh.

576
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 1: And you can't say facts, that's just a fact.

577
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 2: No, you can't wow. Yeah, yeah, you definitely can't say facts,

578
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 2: but you can tell lies. Totally seems to be I mean,

579
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 2: I have reporters. Reporter is reaching out to me and saying,

580
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 2: we put you put this new song out, and You've

581
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:38,959
Speaker 2: told this story on the documentary, and I've been doing

582
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 2: my research and it seems to me that this song

583
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 2: is about this and this is the person you were

584
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 2: talking about in your documentary. And you're like, dude, I

585
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 2: watch TikTok, I read Twitter. All of this information that

586
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 2: is your research is from TikTok, Twitter and Reddit, Like

587
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 2: that's your research and you're a journalist.

588
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:04,440
Speaker 1: That's all the time.

589
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 2: Now you are literally regurgitating TikTok videos from somebody who

590
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,119
Speaker 2: could say anything that has like two hundred and fifty

591
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,880
Speaker 2: followers twenty three hundred and thirty two followers, and then

592
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 2: you go down their TikTok and it's just conspiracy theory

593
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 2: after conspiracy theory after conspiracy theory, and I'm going what

594
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,679
Speaker 2: it was. So it's just unbelievable the things that you

595
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 2: can say. But no, it's it's difficult to tell my

596
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:30,360
Speaker 2: story the way that it needs to be told without

597
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:37,160
Speaker 2: it being in an autobiographical medium.

598
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's sure, I mean a lot has

599
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 1: to get lost in the time it takes for someone

600
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 1: to come and fix your hair and makeup, and then

601
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 1: lights come on and you have a director talking to

602
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 1: you and now a lot of.

603
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,679
Speaker 2: People staring at you, and yeah, you're trying to and

604
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 2: you're you're trying to put your words together and find

605
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 2: words in real time, and you're you're going, wait, what

606
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 2: am I saying? And then all of a sudden, you're

607
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 2: reliving it in real time and you're on a public

608
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 2: stage and you're telling every That's why I think that

609
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 2: that scene in Baby Reindeer when he has his breakdown

610
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 2: resonated with me so much, because I'm going, I mean,

611
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 2: that's what I feel. I feel like when I'm being

612
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:15,679
Speaker 2: interviewed about these these events and these things, I almost

613
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 2: just feel like doing that and breaking down and being like, Okay,

614
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 2: you want to you you really want to get into this,

615
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 2: You really want to pry, you really want to start?

616
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 2: Oh you really want to open this door? Well, sit back,

617
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 2: buckle up, I'll tell you what really happened. I'll shoot,

618
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 2: I'll i will rip your heart out. I'll say it

619
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 2: like it is. So you have those feelings and then

620
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 2: you're feeling that while you're trying to be like yeah, yeah, thanks,

621
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 2: ask me again, why don't you just google the answer,

622
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 2: because I've talked about it thirty seven times in the

623
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 2: past thirty eight hours.

624
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 1: Yeah.

625
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 2: Like so it's it's difficult, but I'm excited to be

626
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 2: able to sit down and this is one part of

627
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 2: my story. I mean, I've been doing I've been in

628
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 2: this industry for thirty plus years, and that's just one

629
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 2: part of my story. There's beautiful things and amazing things

630
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 2: that happened before and getting through that and continuing and

631
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 2: keeping it inside for so long and still being able

632
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 2: to move on and like you were saying before, you know,

633
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 2: go to work and be happy and excited to work

634
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 2: and not giving up. And and so there's there's a

635
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 2: lot to my story that I think comes through the

636
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 2: new album, but also that I'm looking forward to sitting

637
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 2: down and finishing. I've written a lot of chapters so far,

638
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 2: but there's a lot that I still need to sit

639
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 2: down and write and get ready for.

640
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 1: Obviously, you started acting when you were very young, five

641
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 1: years old. I think you were in like I read Seinfeld,

642
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 1: Home Improvement, like all of these giant, giant shows. You

643
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 1: still get residuals when that stuff comes around.

644
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 2: I do from those. Yeah, but I don't get from

645
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 2: breaking Josh.

646
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 1: Wait what you don't get residuals from dre Josh? How's

647
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 1: that even possible? Right, you're Drake, Drake and Josh. Yeah, okay,

648
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 1: so who gives that check?

649
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 2: Then?

650
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 1: If it's not you, it Viacom.

651
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 2: Making billions of dollars off of all of us. They

652
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 2: get nothing, nothing, zero, Thank god. I wrote the theme

653
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 2: song to the TV Shoo to Drake and Josh because

654
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 2: that's the only checks that I see, and those are

655
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 2: you know, those are what, you know, not making any

656
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 2: crazy amount of money off of that, but you know,

657
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 2: I can at least maybe, you know, buy my friend

658
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 2: some lunch.

659
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 1: My mind is blown.

660
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 2: That's about it.

661
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 1: And that's like, that's non negotiable. There's no way that

662
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 1: you can ever go back. And it's done.

663
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 2: No.

664
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: Wow.

665
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 2: The advantage that they take is unbelievable with kids television,

666
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 2: and I think that that's something that should have been

667
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 2: illuminated way more. And I talked to the producers about

668
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 2: it and impressed it upon them a lot throughout the

669
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 2: process of making the documentary, and I don't know why

670
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 2: it was left out, because that's something that you know,

671
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 2: people think that we are living off of our residual checks.

672
00:30:59,720 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 3: There.

673
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 2: Well, you're on TV all over the world. You're on

674
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 2: TV every day. I watch you every day. You're stream

675
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 2: I mean, they just sold Drake and Josh and Netflix

676
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 2: and it was the number one, It was one of

677
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 2: the number one stream it was top ten.

678
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 1: This is insane. And I hope that Netflix hash.

679
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 2: In the checks. I mean, I don't know, I mean

680
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 2: I wanted. I would love to know how much they

681
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 2: sold Drake and Josh.

682
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 1: Nep Maybe you wouldn't love to know that.

683
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 2: It's another it's another bullet for the chamber, and it's

684
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 2: more ammunition to just go, Wow, what in the world.

685
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 2: I mean they're I mean, they're selling advertisements, they're selling sponsorship,

686
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 2: you know, they're selling commercials.

687
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 1: And everything, all of this, and you're.

688
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 2: Sitting there going it's for everyone who is involved in

689
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 2: those networks, you know. I talked to friends of mine

690
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 2: who are on hit TV shows, on Nickelodeon, huge TV shows.

691
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 2: They have kids now, they can't pay their they're struggling

692
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 2: to pay their rent. Whereas if you're on a network

693
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 2: show or on a show you know, or working with

694
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 2: a company that doesn't take advantage you can live off that.

695
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 2: You know you can. You can decide at eighteen, you

696
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 2: know what, I'm good. I'm gonna go to college. I'm

697
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 2: gonna be able to do that because of all of

698
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 2: this work that I put in in my younger years.

699
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 2: I'm going to be able to use that and put

700
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 2: it towards something that I want to pursue. But when

701
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:19,720

704
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 1: comes out, I hope you come back. You should tell

705
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 1: your story with your own words, without all the people

706
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 1: around you editing it, cutting things out, telling you what

707
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 1: you shouldn't say. I look forward to you being able to

708

00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 1: you're that far.

710
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 5: Well.

711
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 2: So I'm toying with the title. The theme song that

712
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 2: I wrote for Drake and Josh is called I Found

713
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 2: a Way. I wrote that song when we shot the

714
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 2: pilot for the For the show, they were using a

715
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 2: different song. They were using I think Lenny Kravitz. Once

716
00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 2: you dig In, Once you digive, We men have a

717
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 2: self a good time. And I was watching the pilot,

718
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 2: and I'm like, man, if I'm in the if I'm

719
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 2: in another room, I'm doing my homework, Like, and I

720
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 2: hear that, I don't know if it's the music video

721
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 2: or a commercial for you know, potato chips, Like, I

722
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 2: don't know all these songs, all these shows that I

723
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 2: love that I grew up on, had an instant you know,

724
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:17,560

Speaker 2: or you know, salute you shit, whatever it is. So

727
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 2: I put together a theme song, went and recorded a

728
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 2: little demo version of it, and went in with the

729
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 2: producers during a meeting and I was like, guys, I

730
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 2: have a theme song. Can I write? Can I play

731
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 2: it for you? The executive producers like, a just leave

732
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 2: it with me. I'll I'll call you and let you know.

733
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 1: I don't call me.

734
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I'm like, you know, there's this like fourteen

735
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 2: year old kid or fifteen I think I was fifteen

736
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 2: at the time, and I'm like, I got a theme

737
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 2: song for your show that's like a real show and

738
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 2: being produced by a big company and all this and

739
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 2: and check it out. It's gonna be great. And this

740
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 2: guy's like, you've never written a thieves. We have people

741
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 2: for that. This is this is this is not high school.

742
00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 2: This is not some high school play.

743
00:33:58,720 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 1: You know.

744
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 2: It was really cool. Immediately they were working on another

745
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 2: show at the time, and immediately they took the boombox.

746
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 2: They unplugged it, and they walked out onto the set

747
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 2: and they said, hey, guys. Guy they were all rehearsing

748
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 2: for the show. They said, guys, guys, stop for a second.

749
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 2: Stop for a second. He plugged it in and he

750
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:14,840
Speaker 2: pressed play. He goes, listen to the theme song for

751
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 2: my new show. And then he turned around. He's like,

752
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 2: he's like, hey, Drake wrote that, isn't that great? And

753
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 2: then and then he took me aside and we walked

754
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:25,840
Speaker 2: back to his office and he looked at me and

755
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:28,240
Speaker 2: he goes, oh, now I just have to convince the network,

756
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 2: but that is the theme song to my new show.

757
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,800
Speaker 2: And so it became this this song about friends and

758
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 2: about friendship, and I think that resonated with the producer saying, wow,

759
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:38,240
Speaker 2: this is like the story of my show. It's catchy,

760
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 2: it's and then you go back and listen to it

761
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 2: and you go, oh, huh, maybe that's what I was saying. Oh,

762
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 2: that's what I. Oh, I thought I was trying to say,

763
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 2: but I was actually saying this. And I think that

764
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 2: a lot of because I wrote that song during the

765
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 2: time I was going through a lot of this darkness.

766
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,399
Speaker 2: There's lyrics like you know, no one can break what's

767
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 2: so unbreakable? But I found a way. I found a way.

768
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 2: I sing the song every night. How am I?

769
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:01,760
Speaker 1: Anyway?

770
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:04,320
Speaker 2: If you open up your mind and see what's inside?

771
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:06,439
Speaker 2: And so I started finding all of it. What's what's

772
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 2: what's so unbreakable?

773
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 1: What's the next one?

774
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:17,839
Speaker 2: I found a way? I found a way. What's that say? So,

775
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,839
Speaker 2: now if you take this like from away from being

776
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 2: about buddies and being about yourself, like I never thought

777
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:25,840
Speaker 2: it'd be so simple, but I found a way. I

778
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,280
Speaker 2: found a way. I always thought that it'd be too crazy,

779
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:29,839
Speaker 2: but I found a way. I found a way. It

780
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 2: starts and you start taking that as uh, you know,

781
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:38,400
Speaker 2: more introspective. You know, I'm going, wow, I was intending

782
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 2: to write this about these two buddies, but maybe I'm

783
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:47,719
Speaker 2: singing to myself. Continue and here's your happy sound with

784
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 2: But if you open up your mind and see what's inside.

785
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 2: It's gonna take some time to realign. It's gonna take

786
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 2: some time to get all this junk out to to

787
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 2: get back to who you are. But if you look inside,

788
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:10,400
Speaker 2: I'm sure you'll find and this could be you that

789
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 2: over your shoulder, you know that, I'll this could be

790
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 2: this could be me talking to young Drake, you know,

791
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:25,320
Speaker 2: the little boy. So just turn around. I'll always be that,

792
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 2: you know over your shoulder. You're told you I'll always

793
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:29,359
Speaker 2: be there to pick you up when you're down. So

794
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:31,920
Speaker 2: just turn around. So as you're growing in life and

795
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:34,799
Speaker 2: you're looking back at you know, that little boy who

796
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 2: was in that moment, in that situation, going through this,

797
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 2: going through this gruesome horror, you can go back and say.

798
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 1: Fourteen year old, you wrote a theme song with the

799
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 1: title of your soon to be tell all book. Absolutely,

800
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 1: this is going to be the bestseller. I know it.

801
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:57,360
Speaker 2: So now the well, we got to talk to legal

802
00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 2: about that. But so I was thinking about titles of

803
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 2: the book and this and that, and I don't know

804
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 2: how it came to me. One day. I was, you know,

805
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 2: walking around, maybe in the shower or something where you

806
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 2: where you know, your thoughts are just kind of freely coming,

807
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:15,240
Speaker 2: and I was like, wow, I found a way through

808
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 2: all of what I've experienced, everything I've been through in

809
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:21,840
Speaker 2: my life, I found a way to get through this.

810
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:23,919
Speaker 2: I found a way to get through this. I found

811
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 2: a way to.

812
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:24,719
Speaker 1: Get through this.

813
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 2: And people can relate to that with whatever you're going through.

814
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:33,839
Speaker 2: Find a way, because there's a way, there's traffic, there's

815
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:38,359
Speaker 2: a roadblock, there's a red light. Find a way. You know,

816
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 2: there's always there's always going to be a way. And

817
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:42,920
Speaker 2: then when you get through it, there's power in I

818
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,759
Speaker 2: didn't let it destroy me. I didn't let it. I

819
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:49,400
Speaker 2: didn't allow it to take who I really am away

820
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 2: from me or define or define me through the sickness,

821
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 2: through the sadness, through this family issue, this this loss,

822
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 2: this death, this trauma, this darkness. And then there's power

823
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,799
Speaker 2: in that. I didn't let it destroy me or define me.

824
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 2: I found a way. And so that's the title of

825
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:11,359
Speaker 2: the new book.

826
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 1: That's a great title. We'll play. We'll play the rest

827
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:15,280
Speaker 1: of your theme song as your exit.

828
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 2: Let me get right, because now I'm interested.

829
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:18,719
Speaker 1: Okay, here we go.

830
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:21,320
Speaker 2: We don't even know even if we don't have to

831
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 2: use it, I know that anything's possible because I found

832
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 2: a way no one can break what's so unbreakable. You know,

833
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:34,399
Speaker 2: I had meant that to be the friendship, but maybe

834
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 2: that subconsciously was like, I'm getting through this darkness right now.

835
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:42,319
Speaker 2: I have all of this tragedy and stuff happening to

836
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 2: me that maybe I haven't even told my mom about,

837
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:47,439
Speaker 2: and the order for it to be taken to court

838
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 2: or whatever. But it didn't break me. And maybe that's

839
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 2: because I'm unbreakable.

840
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 1: Can I make a suggestion, from a place of not

841
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 1: knowing about music or albums or the music industry in general,

842
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:03,840
Speaker 1: besides working here in radio station, if you did the

843
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,359
Speaker 1: soft acoustic version of that song and put it on

844
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:08,240
Speaker 1: your album, I think that would be amazing.

845
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, good idea.

846
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 1: It's just like full circle of everything where you started,

847
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 1: where you are now, and how the two of those

848
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 1: mesh and they reflect one another to the words. I mean,

849
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:25,320
Speaker 1: obviously you know it's your song, but so pretty.

850
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 4: Isn't it?

851
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 2: Isn't it interesting when you look at it from another

852
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:27,280
Speaker 2: another perspective?

853
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:28,840
Speaker 1: Because I would never I mean, just listening to the

854
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:31,320
Speaker 1: opening theme of Drake and Josh, I wouldn't be like,

855
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 1: oh my God, how beautiful. Right, but if you slow

856
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 1: it down with like, it is beautiful.

857
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 2: Thank you so much for indulging me, and thank you.

858
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 1: No, this is amazing. I feel like we got some

859
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:42,239
Speaker 1: of the best stuff right here. That's great. Thanks for

860
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:45,280
Speaker 1: breaking that down. And I'm excited to hear the acoustic

861
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 1: version and read your book. I can't wait. Thank you

862
00:39:48,160 --> 00:40:01,840
Speaker 1: getting to work on it. Whoa, So would you guys

863
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 1: think of that insane incredible? Yeah? I feel like he

864
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 1: really wanted to keep going down certain paths, but I

865
00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:12,319
Speaker 1: almost felt like I didn't want to push him or

866
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 1: pressure him to do that. But once he starts going,

867
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 1: he was going, and he's coming back and he's coming

868
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:21,239
Speaker 1: back baby. Well so he said, and we have it,

869
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:24,960
Speaker 1: we have it recorded. So all right, Drake Bell, we're

870
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 1: feeling wow crazy, let's get into the burn book because

871
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:32,359
Speaker 1: Andrew yesterday was having a day. When's the last time

872
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 1: you saw Andrew like that? Uh, probably six months ago.

873
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:38,879
Speaker 1: It's like a semi annual yes type thing with him.

874
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:41,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, nothing crazy, but when it happens, it happened.

875
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 1: It happened. And somebody who wasn't who walked into the

876
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:46,799
Speaker 1: studio yesterday and was like, oh, I've never seen him

877
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:47,080
Speaker 1: like this.

878
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:50,839
Speaker 4: I don't know, but I do go through annual rages.

879
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:52,919
Speaker 1: And he had a rage day yesterday. So let's let's

880
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:54,759
Speaker 1: make a submission into the burn book. Who would you

881
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 1: like to burn? Who was pissing you off so bad yesterday?

882
00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 1: Every time you can take that mic, every time you

883
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 1: went to text this is what I heard, you slammed

884
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:03,799
Speaker 1: your phone down.

885
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 5: I just I'm my burn book includes the world, Okay,

886
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:10,360
Speaker 5: I mean I am using the world because everything was

887
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 5: awful today.

888
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 4: The salad that I had was awful.

889
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 5: It's just like you know when you have a day

890
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:17,319
Speaker 5: and it's like everyone just annoys you and gets under

891
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:17,719
Speaker 5: your skin.

892
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:19,280
Speaker 4: It's not just one thing in particular.

893
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 5: It was just everything from the salad I ate, to

894
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 5: the conversations I had to have for work, to the

895
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:27,279
Speaker 5: just idiots that ugh.

896
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 1: Okay, how about it behind the scenes, because I feel

897
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 1: like I was kind of contributing to it, and I

898
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:35,160
Speaker 1: was trying to be nice as nice as I could

899
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 1: because I knew you were having a bad day. But

900
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 1: I get real pissed off when people are not on time,

901
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 1: especially if it's an interview like a show up. Come on,

902
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 1: you have one job yeah, love Drake Bell. He was

00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:47,720
Speaker 1: great today. He was an hour late. Yeah, an hour.

904
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:48,279
Speaker 4: Yeah.

905
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:50,760
Speaker 1: I waited around for an hour, which, by the way, Andrew,

906
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 1: I would never do for anybody. But you seem so

907
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:56,319
Speaker 1: stressed when I said I'm gonna walk out. Yeah that

908
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:56,920
Speaker 1: I stayed.

909
00:41:57,360 --> 00:42:00,840
Speaker 5: Well, I appreciate you for staying. Thank you so much. Again,

910
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 5: Like I said, it was just one of those days.

911
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 5: Play that Limp Biscuit song because that's truly how shit. Yeah,

912
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:10,879
Speaker 5: so just happened that one of those days one way

913
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:14,879
Speaker 5: up keep it was miserable. Yeah, it just like add

914
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:17,879
Speaker 5: that to on top of everything. I had three different recordings.

915
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 5: One of them happened earlier than was scheduled, and I

916
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:21,879
Speaker 5: knew it wasn't gonna go well if I wasn't there

917
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 5: for it, and they still went ahead and did it anyway,

918
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 5: and so then I had to edit all that audio.

919
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 5: I had a super late interview. I everybody was graduating yesterday,

920
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 5: So I left at six o'clock from the garage. And

921
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 5: let me tell you something, why do people decide, as

922
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:37,919
Speaker 5: they're leaving a parking garage, this is the perfect time

923
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:42,399
Speaker 5: to reorganize their trunk. The fuck are you doing that's

924
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:45,720
Speaker 5: all I have to say, because I'm sitting there waiting

925
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:47,759
Speaker 5: in my car for an extra five minutes while they're

926
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 5: opening their trunk and talking to each other like moving

927
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 5: things around. I have places to go, I have people

928
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 5: to see. I had a dinner at seven. I could

929
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:59,840
Speaker 5: not get there on time because these idiots were rearranging.

930
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 5: There's stupid drugs, and it was late and it just

931
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:04,319
Speaker 5: added to everything else. But then I did have a

932
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:05,879
Speaker 5: really nice time at my dinner.

933
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:08,000
Speaker 4: So that's good. It made up for it. It ended nicely.

934
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 1: The Drake Bell interview was awesome and I stuck around.

935
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:13,440
Speaker 4: For Yes, the interview is great. I'm so happy it happened.

936
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 5: Everything prior from six thirty am to six pm misery.

937
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:19,839
Speaker 1: Okay, this is for you, Andrew.

938
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 4: Okay, thank you so much.

939
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna play the song because I feel like Diamond

940
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:25,279
Speaker 1: hasn't heard it. Have you heard this song? I don't. Okay,

Speaker 1: here we go.

942
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 4: It's just one of those days. Wait, you don't want

943
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:33,880
Speaker 4: to wake up everything and everybody sucks. They don't play,

944
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:36,879
Speaker 4: but you want to us the fuck off.

945
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:40,279
Speaker 2: Don't play. Contract and if you went to last you like,

Speaker 1: That's the edited version.

950
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's just how I felt. It wasn't great. You know,

951
